Bitstamp: BCH Balances Will Be Made Available to Our Customers as Soon as It Is Safe
bitstamp_banner1-300x86-300x86.jpg
August 2nd has been an interesting day in the world of cryptocurrency as many exchanges came back online and the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain continues to slowly chug forward. Many trading platforms had given their customers contingency plan notices on how they would go forward with the BCH chain and associated token. A good majority of exchanges explained they would support and list the currency, while some had decided not to. Customers doing business with the latter were asked to remove their BTC by July 31 if they wanted to obtain the BCH token. This included big cryptocurrency trading platforms such as Coinbase, Bitstamp and a few others.

Now Bitstamp seems to have changed its position towards the BCH token. The exchange recorded all the balances left on the exchange before the fork and plans to distribute the funds as soon as it can.

“For those of our customers who chose to leave their BTC on our platform at the time of the fork, we recorded their BCH balances for the timestamp of the last common block (block 478558),” explains Bitstamp’s most recent update. “These BCH balances will be made available to our customers as soon as it is safe to do so. If and when the Bitcoin Cash system has been thoroughly tested and is sufficiently stable, we will then consider listing BCH.”

However, a series of technical, safety and regulatory requirements need to be met in order for this to occur, and it is still too early in the day to make realistic predictions about the timeframes involved.

Bitstamp Believes the Company Took the ‘Best Course of Action’

The announcement follows shortly after new developments around the bitcoin trading platform Coinbase, which might be dealing with some possible legal scrutiny. According to the financial publication Fortune some customers may take the San Francisco-based bitcoin exchange to court over the company’s stance on BCH distribution. Furthermore, a new website has been created for those looking to join a class action lawsuit against Coinbase.

Bitstamp is currently the only exchange so far that is changing its tune towards BCH distribution. The popular European exchange believes it was “clearly the best course of action to take to ensure the continued stability and security of our platform.” Bitstamp says the safety of customer funds comes before anything and the fork could have caused temporary network disruption. The trading platform’s customers will likely be pleased that the exchange has changed its mind and will distribute the BCH tokens soon.

Why I am buying NEO GAS (Antcoins) instead of NEO (Antshares)

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/...ing-neo-gas-antcoins-instead-of-neo-antshares

I'm not suggesting whether or not ppl should register/get verified w/ 19800 exchange...posting this to show the potential value of antcoins/neogas and why getting in on it early when it comes to binance could be a big deal...binance was easy to get registered w/ and you don't have to do the whole verification thing depending on how much $$$ you wanna withdraw

Do you deposit Bitcoins in Binance? Their wallet says suspended. Also I can't find ANC in there, but I see a NEOGas that is also suspended

Binance is a decentralized exchange that doesn't fuck with fiat.

Why is it going to be huge fam? What is so special about Antcoins?
Click to expand...

Antcoins(GAS) might be the only thing Americans will soon be able to trade in as far as the NEO project is concerned. NEO is definitely a security. Furthermore, there will only be something like 15 million coins near fall of 2018. Since they are divisible, one can buy pieces of them like with BTC.

Even at $20 per coin, GAS would have only about $300 million marketcap around this time next year.

A lot of crazy shit to think about. As NEO rises, the price to produce GAS rises with it. Just to get 1000 anthshares you need $8,000 and that might get you 3 GAS a week. That's only 160 something GAS a year.

There's one problem. In order to invoke a contract or create an asset, 1 GAS has to be paid. That has to change. The fees can get outrageous if GAS price rises.

Another gambling ICO fyi:

PR: BetKing ICO Raises Over $1,200,000 In Pre-sale

This is a paid press release, which contains forward looking statements, and should be treated as advertising or promotional material. Bitcoin.com does not endorse nor support this product/service. Bitcoin.com is not responsible for or liable for any content, accuracy or quality within the press release.

The BetKing ICO pre-sale came to an end on the 30th of July and raised over $1.2 million! Participants were rewarded a 25% discount on BetKing Bankroll tokens purchased during the sale. The pre-sale raised a total of 372 Bitcoin and 716 Ethereum.

What is BetKing?

BetKing opened in April 2013 and by the end of 2014 quickly became the most popular crowdfunded Bitcoin casino.

From 2015 BetKing had the most wagered volume of all crowdfunded gambling sites, 400,000 Bitcoin, almost more than all competitors combined!

By December 2016 the crowdfunded bankroll had grown to 6000 Bitcoin, making BetKing the most trusted dice site with the highest betting limits.

Previous investors made a total of 7400 Bitcoin profit in a little over 2 years.

This time BetKing is launching an ICO to fund the bankroll and also development and marketing of brand new software.

The new version will launch with updated provably fair dice, roulette and blackjack games and allow players to bet with Bitcoin, Ethereum and many other currencies.
On the roadmap for the end of the year and early next are more casino games, sports betting and new poker software.

Join the ICO on August 7

The main sale starts on August the 7th at 0:00 UTC and will run until September 4th, the same day BetKing relaunches.
There is no cap on the amount of funds that can be raised and 70,000,000 of 100,000,000 tokens will be sold.

Every quarter BetKing will buy back up to 10% of all tokens from holders, if they wish to sell.

The buyback price that BetKing offers is calculated as follows and is independent of 3rd party exchange rates:

(Initial token price + current bankroll profit)

For example, if the ICO raised $2 million in the sale for 70% of tokens, then that would give the initial token price the value of $0.0284.
If the bankroll profit after 6 months was $2 million, then each token would now be worth $0.0484,
($2 million / 70 million) + ($2 million / 100 million).

The current profit is always the total Bitcoin, Ethereum and other crypto-currency profit since launch converted to dollars at time of buy back.

There will also be discounts for buyers during the main sale.

Week 1: 15%
Week 2: 10%
Week 3: 5%

Monetha, an innovative blockchain enterprise committed to revolutionising global commerce with their simple, trustful payment solution, is proud to welcome two highly-experienced new team-members to their expanding company.

Eric Duprat and Dr. Jean-Marc Seigneur bring incredible expertise and skills to Monetha. They will help the brand achieve its groundbreaking worldwide goals as laid out in their dynamic roadmap: the company has been on-target since it launched in January 2017 – and is set to change the way merchants and buyers work together.

Forever.

How? With their new, bold, powerful Decentralized Trust and Reputation System (DTRS).

Eric Duprat

Mr. Duprat and Dr. Seigneur might have different backgrounds, but their shared knowledge and skills makes them a formidable combination.

Mr. Duprat is Monetha’s new Payments Lead, while Dr. Seigneur is Decentralized Trust and Reputation Lead.

Mr. Duprat has over 20 years’ experience in global payment and security systems. He enjoyed huge success during his time with PayPal – raising their mobile business from $7M to a staggering $4B of payment volume across only 3 years and has led the release of PayPal’s iphone app.

Duprat studied at the prestigious Stanford University Graduate School of Business, and has made major industry innovations. He has a proven skill for driving startups to unparalleled success and for spotting powerful opportunities with immense potential.

Mr. Duprat also participated in the POS industry’s evolution as it raced toward mobile and multi-functional devices.

He said of Monetha:

“The DTRS is an excellent idea. After reading their white paper it was clear to see that the team had really done their homework and I am very excited to join their mission.”

Dr. Jean-Marc Seigneur

Dr. Seigneur is a recognised expert in trust and online reputation management and a .Phd professor/research and development manager at Geneva university.

He has advised diverse enterprises, including iconic global electronics companies (Philips, Nokia) and game-changing online retailers (Amazon).

On top of this, Dr Seigneur has assisted the European Commission, French Agency for Research, and the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research in information & security systems.

He has taught IT services engineering and online reputation management at universities in Switzerland, France, and Ireland. Dr Seigneur has also published more than 100 scientific papers on computational trust and online reputation management worldwide.

Dr. Seigneur said:

“I’ve researched attack-resistant computational trust and online reputation management for more than 15 years. Current business online reviews and ratings systems are too limited compared to what can be done with the state-of-the-art. Monetha can clearly improve the situation!”

Monetha: The Product

Monetha uses the Ethereum blockchain to process transactions up to 1000x faster than traditional alternatives, with low fixed fees of 1.5%.

Monetha are in phase two of their plans right now: bringing their strategising and prototyping to completion as they build an unbeatable team. Phase three is set to launch with their token sale on 31st of August 2017 – but their ambitious roadmap leads them goal-by-goal all the way to 2019.

Justas Pikelis, Business Lead and Monetha co-founder (with Andrej Ruckij and Laurynas Jokubaitis), said:

“We’re incredibly thrilled and humbled to have two experts of Eric and Jean-Marc’s calibre joining Monetha. Both gentlemen will prove integral to our ongoing growth, driving us towards phase three and the launch of our token on the 31th of August – and beyond! We look forward to changing the world as a bigger, better team!”

Monetha enables consumers to buy products from any country in the world, using any Ethereum-based cryptocurrency. The platform converts the buyer’s cryptocurrency of choice into a fiat currency, with a QR code designed to be scanned by cryptowallets ready for transactions.

Merchants will usually receive their payments within one minute of the transaction, with that guaranteed 1.5% fee.

Traditional online payment systems involve as many as 16 steps within a single transaction, often carrying large fees. Monetha aims to make this one step only, with a fixed-rate fee far lower to benefit merchants across the globe.

About Monetha:

Monetha is on a mission to change commerce – forever. Their Decentralized Trust and Reputation System (DTRS) will empower merchants and consumers alike with the ability to view transparent reviews, building a more trustful process.

Will Ripple Rally Like Ethereum and Bitcoin?
By Nathan Reiff | June 19, 2017 — 12:22 PM EDT

Throughout most of the history of the cryptocurrency industry, Bitcoin has overwhelmingly dominated headlines. This extends even through the beginning of this year, as the price of the major digital currency has climbed to new peaks over and over again. Still, investors are wise to look also to some of the other players in the cryptocurrency field, and particularly those that are gaining traction on Bitcoin when it comes to market capitalization. Specifically, Ethereum and Ripple are the second- and third-largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of this time, and there are reasons to believe that both of these currencies are on the rise. Ethereum has seen its share of the market capitalization for the industry grow considerably in the past four months. Will Ripple also see significant gains?

Ripple Lacks Momentum of Ethereum and Bitcoin in Recent Weeks
XRP, the native currency of the Ripple network, reached a record high on May 17 after a major rally before dropping over the next 10 days. By May 27, XRP had bottomed out, along with the broader field of cryptocurrencies. What has happened since then is more revealing: ether, the currency token for Ethereum, has gained about 200% while Bitcoin has climbed by 45%. Ripple, on the other hand, has seen its value essentially stay sideways since that time.

According to analysis by Elliott Wave Forecast, in spite of a 40% drop since June 1, XRP appears to be reaching a short-term extreme area at equal legs, providing a floor for buyers who are likely to appear for a 3 waves bounce. Elliott Wave analysts predict XRP may be able to rally for new all-time highs.

Ripple Offers Unique Transaction Processing
One of the key elements of the Ripple structure which may be able to set it apart from other cryptocurrencies is its payment and transaction infrastructure. Ripple eliminates time delays in order to ensure that transactions can be settled in real time. This keeps transaction costs down and helps to open up new revenue opportunities for banks and other customers. The issues of transaction processing time and fees are key to the cryptocurrency industry, particularly as Bitcoin struggles with these challenges. In Bitcoin's case, the issue is one of scaling, as the original code for the currency, much of which is still in use, has not properly accounted for the size of the current customer base and transaction load. If an alternative like Ripple can attract enough attention in the broader digital currency market, it may possess the infrastructure to displace a behemoth like Bitcoin. For the time being, however, the Ripple rally has yet to take place.

Next drop on ANS, I'm jumping in. Ive been bullshitting.

Anybody know if Poloniex will support the fork with Bitcoin cash? I just realized I had some Bitcoin in there at the time of the fork.
 
What is the board's view on BCC? Damn thing seems to be taking a beating everyday.

One would have thought that it was going to grow to the levels of BTC.

People are taking the free money and running. It cost them nothing to sell. BTC hasn't dropped because of it. The long term play, I'm not sure about. BCC is supposed to be faster with cheaper transaction than BTC so it's got some built in value, but its ultimate purpose I don't know. I'm just gonna hold mine since it's not a lot and watch the charts. It's had a sharp fall which indicates it will probably have a good pop st some point in the future I just don't know when.
