Got put up on Signatum by a fellow member. The tech, whitepaper and community look good.
Get some GAS on Binance too
Get some GAS on Binance too
ya I forget but there's something happening august 8...I think their one year anniversary or some shit...but ppl tend to buy before the news/events and sell off after...so it may go down a little...would be a good time to jump in if it does
*edit*
ya the antshares ICO was 8/8/2016 crazy their shit is only a year old
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1571738.0
I'm reading that they're updating their website and the NEO wallet as well on the 8th
no homo but this shit is like double dutch...you gotta try and jump in @ the right time...I was thinking the price might settle down a bit after this event is over but some are speculating that it'll go even harder after the event...I can't call it

In a few months, folks going to be kicking themselves for not getting in on GAS when it had such a low marketcap.
man it's funny...I was just reading an old reddit thread and there was some dude talking about it wasn't worth buying GAS (ANC then) bcuz the price will always be stable blah blah blah...fast forward a month look @ it now...I love reading old posts on reddit and bitcointalk and watch all these dudes w/ their FUD talk just to see a coin shine on their ass
BCC doing some things today. Gotta watch this.
I remember when GAS was just 15 cents in June. People on Reddit arguing about which will be more valuable. I was always of the mind of
"Why not hold both?" But if I were just getting in the game now and was forced to make a choice, I'd cop GAS over NEO. It ain't shit for GAS to go up 10 times to $230 million($290 if we use Binance numbers). NEO needs like $10 billion to do go up 10 times.
I didn't...that won't come into play until you're ready to withdraw $$$ from the exchange
It's binance.com, my work computer just didn't like the fact that it was a Chinese site. Lol.
I haven't moved anything off binance yet nor am I familiar w/ the current NEO wallet (waiting for the update)...sorry can't offer any help there
Signatum the past 4 days 500 percent returns CRAZY!! I also heard it was the most profitiable GPU coin to mine.....900 to 1000 per week......That nice income weekly.
Gas is 8.90 per share now.......DAMN i missed that one!!!
The Chinese woke up and saw the GAS prices on Binance compared to the other two and were like 
Prices catching up. Damn this game is crazy as fuck.
In the coming months, cats going to be looking back at some of these prices on some of these coins and feel like
. . . 
This that April/May run all over again.

I hate putting my info out like that... I didn't join that site
People are saying that but forget about another possible hard fork in November
WTF is GAS on? I'm using bittrex and I can't find it or ANS. I could have sworn I had ANS but I don't even see it in my wallet. Name change? I have been out of town for a couple weeks
Last edited:
ANS is NEO now on bittrex
Has it been climbing? Something has. My wallet jumped from $1,900 to $2,900 since the last time I looked at it. I've only got 60 shares of NEO
Which exchange is Signatum on?
Per the quote below, GAS is on Binance.
ya I hear you...if I'm ever able to reach my goal and get to a point where I can pull most my money out I'm getting a new name...new drivers license...new passport...new house/address lmaoooooo
dude said "has it been climbing?" lol
it's jumped from like $8-20 in the last few days
Still hard to believe that 60 shares was just $60 a couple months ago.
Yeah. I wish I had more. Right now I have:Still hard to believe that 60 shares was just $60 a couple months ago.
3200 XVG
500 BURST
150 DOPE
125 XLM
50 LMC
150 GRS
1750 SAFEX
350 XRP
250 TRST
100 KORE
200 EDG
300 INFX
60 NEO
And for some reason
BTC & BCC both show an available balance of .29203784 but Different % change
How am I doing, and am I doing anything wrong that y'all can see?
you need to focus on 3 or 4 real coins...
Like @RoomService said, concentrate on a few quality coins. Find some quality projects with low market caps(under $50 million preferably). A number of us think August and September can be like this past spring. Some things that are low are going to go bananas if that is true. It's much easier for even people with big money to make money when low marketcap coins blowup.
Some have already been mentioned in the last few pages. Also, remember not to panic and sell your shit when folks who got in early take their profits out.
The only reason why I am not kicking myself about not jumping on NEO much earlier. At least, I am seeing a good return on my Eth purchase almost a month ago.
What’s Causing Ethereum (ETH) to Jump 900%? (MSFT,JPM,BK)

With its ability to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything, Ethereum (ETH
has created a lot of buzz since its 2015 launch. It was quick to move up the ladder in terms of market capitalization, leaving behind a trail of 700-odd other cryptocurrencies. Its recent rally has been unprecedented, an increase of 900% in 2017, growing from about $8 at the beginning of the year to beyond $80 in early May. Here’s a close look at Ethereum and an attempt to understand the factors that are fueling its spectacular rise.
Ethereum, launched on July 30, 2015, is a decentralized software platform that enables Smart Contracts and Distributed Applications (ĐApps) to be built and run without any downtime, fraud, control or interference from a third party. Ether, a cryptographic token, acts like a vehicle for moving around on the Ethereum platform. It is a form of payment made by clients for operating on the Ethereum platform and thus acts like an incentive for developers looking to develop and run applications within.
One of the natural consequences of its popularity has been its constant comparison to Bitcoin. The two differ in their basic purposes. Unlike Bitcoin, the primary purpose of Ethereum is not to establish itself as a payment alternative. It goal is to facilitate and monetize the working of Ethereum to enable developers to build and run ĐApps. However, on the trading platform, Ether rises as a staunch competitor to all cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. (Related reading, see: Bitcoin Vs Ethereum: Driven by Different Purposes)
Why Is It Rising?
Over the eight years of its existence, Bitcoin has taught a few lessons and helped generate the confidence among people to plunge into the world of Virtual Currencies. Bitcoin, fueled by a stream of positive news, is trading at a life-time high. This has generated positive sentiment about cryptocurrencies in general, and Ethereum is benefitting from the same, just like the rest.
Further, Ethereum on its own has been generating excitement with big names such as JPMorgan Chase Co. (JPM

), and Microsoft (/markets/stocks/msft/MSFT) endorsing it by joining the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance that “connects Fortune 500 enterprises, startups, academics, and technology vendors with Ethereum subject matter experts.”
Microsoft Corp. has been offering Ethereum Blockchain as a Service (EBaaS) on Microsoft Azure since November 2015, in collaboration with developer https://consensys.net/ConsenSys, “so Enterprise clients and developers can have a single click cloud based blockchain developer environment.” Given that Ethereum is not just a platform but also a programming language running on a blockchain, helping developers to build, publish distributed applications and run programs, it is being explored the most for enterprise use. (Related reading, see: The First-Ever Ethereum IRA is a Game-Changer)
Chris Kline, COO of BitcoinIRA (the first IRS-approved Bitcoin-based IRA) told Investopedia, “Smart contracts are not only disruptive, they are logical. Whether it's government, global corporations or small business, these will inevitably be a part of everyday life. As that realization grows, so too will Ethereum.”
In early April, Blockchain Capital, a venture capital firm investing in cryptocurrency ecosystem, successfully raised $10 million in a record six hours for its first digital liquid venture fund, called Blockchain Capital III Digital Liquid Venture Fund, LP. The Singapore-registered fund raised capital via a digital token build on the Ethereum platform. (Related reading, see: SingularDTV Creating Entertainment On The Ethereum Blockchain)
Not just corporates and private institutions, but even global organizations such as the United Nations are looking to harness the Ethereum blockchain to deliver humanitarian assistance, such as the World Food Programme. What started with a Proof-of-Concept in Pakistan in early January this year, has been transformed in a fully functional Blockchain pilot being rolled out in Jordan, CoinDesk.com reported earlier this month.
The Bottom Line
With great enthusiasm around Ethereum, its price has risen, too fast too soon, and thus the current rally may not be sustainable for long. This is natural and thus investors must tread carefully at this stage. However, any correction in the near to medium term shouldn't undermine its potential. The rising awareness and confidence among the masses about cryptocurrencies coupled with the immense possibilities offered by Ethereum will eventually power its journey going forward. The future belongs to decentralization.
