Alternative Cryptocurrencies (General Discussion & Trading)

Lots of speculation that it will drop further to about $150-$180. If it does go that low I might buy in again. Will also be increasing my btc holdings if it drops below $2000.00/btc which is looking more and more likely.
 
A fake news troll posted on 4chan - sent Eth down by 4bil...

Fake news of a fatal car crash wiped out $4 billion in ethereum’s market value yesterday

This is what market manipulation looks like in the age of cryptocurrencies and fake news. The hoax did reveal something interesting about cryptocurrencies: Unlike bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, an almost mythical figure whose identity remains unknown, Buterin is the de facto public face of ethereum. He doesn’t control the network—it’s a piece of decentralised software that anyone can run or build on, just like bitcoin—but his status as its creator means that rumors like this one have a higher chance of taking hold in the markets.

That means that $26 billion in market value partly depends on a 23-year-old staying healthy and alive—and providing selfies to prove it.

I don't have any bitcoins, but I do have other coins that I bought through bitcoin.
My current holding is the following:
- Mobilego
- Bancor Network
- Digital Money Bits (terrible coin)
- Iota (I hope it shoots to the moon :D)
- Ethereum

That's about it. I bought all the above between end of May and June, so I've made a loss so far.

What do you guys think of iota? I hear it's gonna be big & as successful as ethereum when it first came out.

From what I've read, iota uses tangle which solves the scaling issue that bitcoin has. All iota coins are in circulation already, so no need for mining. And I think it'll make iota deflationary which will make its coin increase in value.

I've already put some of my money into iota, I'm wondering if I shouldn't put more. I don't want to be where I am now, wishing I bought into ethereum when it was still $8 or so.

Looks like iota is going to be huge

Sorry guys, I couldn't copy from the website using my phone, so therefore I can't quote the article's text here.

I've diversified a bit. I sold some of the Zencash that I mined to buy Antshares and Ripple.

The nice thing about trading like that is that it feels like play play money. I know it has value, but because I mined it instead of buying it, it feels like money I can afford to lose. So I don't second guess myself when trading.
 
Hindsight 20/20 and all that...

24 hours!! :eek:

Some fuss going on regarding antshares. You first buy (tradeable) shares (ANS) which exist on the blockchain then you get paid dividends in antcoin (ANC, also on the blockchain) per share at a fixed rate continuously as long as you have the shares. Fairly new and profit expected in the mid to long term only. Got myself 5 shares of the 50 million circulation supply. Time will tell, one way or the other.

It is like VeriCoin and Verium. I like the concept.
 
Just stumbled across a neat piece of software for trading.... $90 but it makes trading easy by providing a snappy desktop interface and allows to trade on various exchanges. There is a demo for you to play with.

I only hope that coindash.io will be a success, it is looking good, and it is an ICO that I will support.

I couldn't get that link to work. I have some ANS. When do I get my ANC?

Transfer ANS from Bittrex to antshares wallet, bittrex is stealing ANC for the period it is on bittrex

Only send whole numbers of ANS to your wallet from the exchange, fractions are cut off. Bittrex charges 1 ANS regardless how many you transfer to your wallet.

After receiving in wallet, your anc starts coming in, but you have to claim it periodically to show in the 'account' tab, it builds up under the 'asset' tab but remains unusable until you claim it.

To claim, strangely you have to send (some of ) your own ANS to your own address again using the wallet before the claim button becomes active, sending 1 ANS of your shares is sufficient for this purpose.
