This is a great channel for aidrops and hard forks: https://t.me/OFFICIALairdropalert
Thank you! Way better than the channel I had found on my own.

Quoting for the new page:
BTC and ETH are definitely not in the clear. ETHBTC ratio going up as BTC falls some more, as expected though. BTC still within its descending wedge, and ETH still drawing a symmetric triangle, both on 4H. If both of those break up, their respective downtrend lines will probably be broken to the upside and we can maybe relax for a bit. If they break down, then I would have $720 ETH and $8k BTC (GDAX) as targets.

Just to be sure since I never used it on binance...if I place a stop-limit sell on ven for tomorrow and the price drops to the stop level will it automatically create a sell order at the limit level? I'll probably be away until 12:00 UTC, if nothing good comes out and it dumps I'd like to rebuy after the dip.

Stop limits are never guaranteed to execute and are less likely to execute the lower the volume of the coin.

I had a Ven limit order that didn't execute about a week ago. Generally speaking though, unless your stop limit sells directly into fiat, then you're not really saving yourself money as the market still highly correlates with the price of bitcoin.

The current price reflects the market sentiment and uncertainty surrounding XBY, this applies to a lot of coins right now. I don't see this grand masterplan the XBY devs may or may not be concocting. What's the endgame where they make out like bandits?

The endgame was early January, that's when the devs (and whales like Yankeeruinx) sold at around ATH.

Well, if I can still maintain a profit on SATs (actually eth, but same reasoning) I can still buy more ven later. I put a conservative order just in case, although I'm quite optimistic since nothing really happened the past days. Not gonna put a direct sell though since moon levels are so difficult to predict.

Never understood the high expectations for rebrands and events. Antshares needed one badly yes and it's definitively better now but all the others i have seen were all a joke. Fondly remember that Digibyte (DGB) "rebrand". Lol that was a good laugh.

Really glad that the recent crash brought a bit more sanity and soberness into crypto. This would have triggered huge price jumps in january. Now it's more like "show me the receipts".

In other news, binance lowered their fees again (for erc20 tokens).

Also be aware of all these scam tweets under almost any popular coin / exchange announcement. It's always something like "we are giving away XXXX ETH for holders. Send us 0,1 ETH and we are going to send you 0,3 back" and then several fake users write something like "woohoo, it worked, thank you blabla".
The first tweet always copies the picture of the official tweet so that it looks like it's official. Don't want to know how many people already lost money there.

Feels like the Iota/MS 'partnership'.
How so?

Feels more like a case of a somewhat dead market and buying the rumor; the BMW thing was shilled a week ago and the price had already jumped after that.

Basically this:

ftfy

... smh, that cheese...

What involves the partnership? Without details this means nothing. Could mean that one BMW employee is going to have VEN sticker on the back of the office car.
We've been burned by taking crypto world's partnerships announcements at face value. This is not how you announce a partnership in a serious business environment:

I don't think it was a serious business environment. It was a party with cocktails to celebrate the progress they've made and the direction they're going in.

I'd be skeptical about the BMW announcement too but VeChain hasn't exaggerated past partnership announcements and I see nothing to suggest that'd change. They had a PwC guy and the CEO of DNV GL Business Assurance hold Thor's hammer together, who are serious partners but that didn't stop them from doing this goofy thing.

An update on my Ravencoin mining efforts. I was able to mine around 325 RVN in 20h with my single, undervolted 1070 ti (8.5 Mh/s) by just letting it do its thing while using the pc for other purposes.
The coin is not listed anywhere yet, but still traded with escrows in a dedicated channel on their official discord.

From yesterday morning until now I saw the WTB (want to buy) offers going from 100 - 150 to 250 - 300 satoshis.
With my 325 RVN and a conservative price estimate of 200 sat (low volume) I'd would have ended up earning 200 sat/rvn * 0.00000001 * $9780 * 325 RVN = $6.36
As far as established alts go the most I could earn according to whattomine is $2.31 (24h) from mining ZEC.

Due to being so profitable I was even contemplating renting cloud GPUs for RVN mining. However neither Nicehash nor Miningrigrentals support the x16r algorithm.

As a reminder, this interview with the Overstock.com CEO aroused interest in that coin:

Sure, that makes sense too. Maybe they'll substantiate their claims in the coming days.

I cant believe people are getting played by basic street tricks "give me $10 and ill give you $20 later"

It seems to be incredibly lucrative & low effort. Take this for instance:
https://twitter.com/cz_bianac/status/968073033385734144
  1. Set up a fake eth transaction website on some bs url. Effort: low (copy & past html code), cost: $1 (short lived burner domain):
    ozOZtP0.png
  2. Rent a bot network to reply positively and retweet & like that positive reply. Effort: low to average if you're doing it for the first time. Cost? No idea, let's just say $500
  3. Profit: https://etherscan.io/address/0x0AD7f60f16381D3f4E36A7407bA2c08fdf22C543

When Lambo? Soon.

Charlie Lee on the Nano sub: "Someone I met tonight was really excited about it and urged me to look into it.

I like what I see so far. Dev team with their heads screwed on straight. Good visions of doing transfer of value only and doing it right. Still not sure how it can achieve it without tradeoffs. But so far, I don't see any glaring holes in the approach."

That's nice, I guess.

Big events always lead to a sell off when they don't meet expectations (and they never do).

Not a bad time to get more VEN

Guess that's why Nano is up today.

Sold my VEN because it looked like it would keep bleeding. Now debating whether or not to buy back in and accept the lose or wait and see if it drops again

Just be patient. VEN will probably go back up and NANO will fall after getting pumped. Than vice versa. Watch they swing back and forth for the next few months back to their ATHs.

A few days ago I started watching Hadrly Difficult on twitch. I think he's a crypto dev because he's streaming crypto programming (the parts I've seen were about some crypto gui) when he's not doing trades or discovering coins. Or maybe he's developing something to facilitate his own trades easier. I'm not sure.

In any case, he's done a rundown of the top 100 coins the other day so I thought some of you might like this:

As someone who sold Nano and bought VEN last week, I'm pissed.

I had that happen to me SO many times last year. Thats what eventually made me give up, create a tiny wallet for swing trading and have the other 95% of my portfolio in just held coins. I couldnt dodge the bad trades. I felt like some sort of phenom who could accurately make the worst trades without fail. The shit was annoying.

The market reacts very positive to the polo news i guess. Where are we right now in terms of the downtrend line?

Ok, so I was distinctly unimpressed by Audiocoin, however this is looking promising:

https://emanate.live/

It is spearheaded by a guy who has made his name by making the Steem based Soundcloud clone.

https://busy.org/@prc/presenting-to-all-my-steemian-friends-another-project-of-mine-emanate

Some of it seems to crib from Musicoin, especially the contractual stuff. The audio fingerprinting tech looks like it could be very useful in enforcing copyright/protected material. Loads of other stuff mixed in there too. The DAW stuff is a real difference.

I'm tempted by the crowdsale. I have no idea how on earth I'm going to get any ETH to do it though.

In regards to coinsmarkets.com, it seems that ECA devs threatened with a lawsuit and like you know, ECA withdrawal is possible now.
Maybe COLX is next.
We're encouraged by the actions CoinsMarket has taken with releasing ECA and are hoping in good faith for a swift resolution and release of COLX from the Coinsmarket exchange. However, the COLX team has a responsibility to protect our investors. Absent any communication or acknowledgement from CM, we have retained legal counsel and are preparing to pursue legal action should this not be resolved in an expedient manner.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ColossuscoinX/comments/80lld4/coinsmarket_lawsuit/

Not that i'm in a rush to get the few COLX off there, now that it's back to the same price it was when i bought it (after being x8 at ATH...) but staking them would have probably got me a couple k COLX in the last 3 months.

Music coins are fine & all, but it is a fundamentally limited userbase. Getting over that hump is going to take a lot of work. Also: I'm skeptical this coin can draw much hype in the marketplace. It's too theoretical.

A few big picture thoughts on Bitcoin:

1) it continues to not dump, despite being presented wonderful opportunities to do so;

2) BTCUSD has completed a bullish cross of 1W StochRSI, which, despite the small sample size, has traditionally been a reliable positive growth indicator when occurring around this time of year;

3) BTCUSD has now broken up from the 1D RSI downtrend I have been talking about for a while, which has been an unbroken trend since December 5, 2017;

4) BTCUSD is close to a bullish cross of its 1D MACD too.

My personal view on the chart formation given all of the above, is that BTC will break the downtrend soon, and start trending up again. It may be gradual, or sharp, or may even dip a bit more from here along the way, but overall it looks positive to me going forward.

Just reposting myself from February 12 with BTC at around 8.5k. Predicting pricesely how BTC rebounds from multiple bearish months is impossible, but I still think this was the right call overall. I also continue to be happy with my buy-in of ETH around $650.

Trade at your own risk.
