Alternative Cryptocurrencies (General Discussion & Trading)

I bought in with the ICO, partly relieved for now.

I like the idea of new blockchains, not just things built on existing blockchains.
You gone in large? Thinking of just selling some ****coins and putting $100 in or whatever I can sell them for. The benefits of ****coin airdrops .

Nope just 20 dollars for now.

Electronium:

This was caught shortly before the launch, so that is why the mobile miner is down, and there are no transactions yet, but you can still safely mine with a computer and use your public address to mine.


The devs stopped the hackers from successfully stealing even 1 coin.

I received an email at about 4am that somebody requested a PIN reminder. I incidentally awoke around that time and checked up on electronium status but did not see the email until later this morning and was starting to wonder if I clicked something on the page after logging into their website.

The mining pool site is hanging when I try to confirm my earnings. Will let you know. Not sure about total supply etc. I was expecting it to be live on exchanges today and I can't seem to find any news about it.

Are you using the simple miner? It keeps telling me my address isn't valid.

Edit: Oops, seems like my Copy and paste wasn't getting the entire address.

Yes.
You need to copy all 3 lines of the address as provided in the paper wallet.
Copy all three lines and string them together into a single line.

I bought last night

Want to buy https://tokensale.crypterium.io/ also, but quite expensive!

Will buy it once I ROI on mining.

I'm a bit weary of ICO's with $0.5'ish token prices. They usually take a dip once they're on the market & you can get them cheaper.

Sorry another question, I just seem to be in a endless loop of "retry in 10secs", any ideas?

Still can't find any way to even register an account... Even found a "create account" button on the one page... takes me to a login page. That's how you inspire confidence I guess

I get the same on my desktop. Running it on laptop right now and it works there. Try disabling AV and firewalls. I suspect it's just really buggy still and needs some development.

Tbh this Electroneum going live is a bit of a meh event. I was expecting exchange listings and working software today.
Anyway.

That's about 20 minutes of cpu mining on an old i7-3520M laptop. Tricky to tell as the miner keeps dropping the connection.

 

[KingBel]

hmm. ETN is currently used by Ethernex according to Blockfolio.

I've had a few tokens that have used the same name as some ****coin that stopped doing anything for a few years.

 

[dj2381]

Still no luck, I restarted my PC and the mining, it started counting threads but then stopped and went straight back to retry in 10secs.

 

[dj2381]

BTW NEO is on special atm.

If by any chance useful to somebody:

I downloaded the 'direct mining' (solo miner) package and synced the blockchain, then created a wallet with the included cli wallet and used that address in Yam Miner (https://mega.co.nz/#F!UlkU0RyR!E8n4CFkqVu0WoOnsJnQkSg - I used the 64 bit windows generic version)

yam -c x -M stratum+tcp://etnkNMRieehKZrYCWUmymv1uzsy5coFFJ3rKvEFNcqgx8E43acbmyW76AKF2c5Tp5QNzjYdD1nVe3DmvSFZ7FNjd6Js8zox7mc:x@uspool.electroneum.com:3333/xmr (replace with your own address of course)

EDIT: You can then later transfer your mined coins to your paper (or other) wallet using the cli wallet

I got burned terribly investing in s$%ty ICOs. I first made a lot of money in August, then I lost a whole lot more (including some of my capital). Now I'm in a situation where I'm going to hodl the alt coins I already hold, hoping to recover before December at least.

 

[etienne_marais]

Good luck, I have my doubts about NEO at times for example, sometimes it also pays of to make use of volatility (by trading).

 

[etienne_marais]

Any advice about what to do with electronium bought during ICO ?

One guy claims he already mined 1/10'th of what he invested, this probably means an inflationary effect ?

Electroneum

Quite big news! Just officially applied to Cryptopia for our first exchange listing - it's cost over $25,000 USD to apply, so fingers crossed! We've screen captured our application for posterity.

I have mined about 1/20'th of my investment so far.

The mobile miner is also basically going to give out coins for doing nothing (airdrop basically), the whole thing seems terribly inflationary yet I have a feeling something may still come from it.

The update for the mobile wallet/miner is available b.t.w, but mining is not active yet.

Not sure how to answer this - how would you?
If you only invested $10 it's a very different question to if you invested $1000.
How much did you invest then?

If that's all it's pretty fking meh news. I've seen smaller projects raise less than 1/10 of what electroneum raised get listed on cryptopia right out the gates. I'm not ****ting on your news ...I'm just very underwhelmed at Electroneum's first steps.

That was more about being able to sell some off soon, often times there is a drastic upward spike then a gradual decrease into worthlesness...
