You first.
I did but few days ago but I never receive confirmation email
You a US Citizen?
I'm not
Makes sense.
They don't send a confirmation email. They announce the winners of the first round on March 31st. If you won, it will show up in their app that you installed when you registered.
mid-april @ the latest...they are now in the process of verifying the information you should’ve entered when you made your purchase(s) (name, address, phone # etc)...you can still submit this info on their site if you haven’t done so already or just to be on the safe side if you can’t remember whether or not you did...you don’t have to submit any actual documents...it’s akin to a light background check more or less...once they’ve completed the process which may take up to 30 days from the sale’s conclusion (3/15) then they’ll distribute tokens...in the meantime they hope to have a dashboard up next week that’ll make it easier for you to track how many tokens you’re owed...but they’ve been promising that shit for a minute...it’s kinda pointless now imo
Cardano (ADA)
$0.159280
MaaaaaaaaaN these prices!
$0.159280MaaaaaaaaaN these prices!
Cardano (ADA)
MaaaaaaaaaN these prices!
This one normally do good when the others are bleeding
I've been noticing some people on YT FUDing ADA and NEO lately. And there's fanboyism goin on from hodlers of EOS and NANO.

I think people have to be mentally/emotionally prepared for it to go down to 4-5k in April. I'm not saying it'll happen, but it's a lot easier on the heart when the market goes up when you expected it to go down than the other way around.
I’ve had to engage in some mind fuckery of my own like pumping my fist and yelling “yes...I knew it was gonna go down” every time my portfolio drops...it sounds absurd but the humor behind it has kept me lighthearted lol...as bad as things look tho...prices are more or less coming down to the point they were @ before shit took off mid-december...I do feel sorry tho for anyone who bought in @ the height of the craze
I think real money (at least in the US) are holding out until there is more clarity on regulations.of course, anyone who was in before November are holding, selling for tax reasons and are doing little to no buying.
In order for this market to continue to grow, it need to have more tokens be independent of bitcoin. More importantly the tokens/coins need to start being used for their purpose instead of just being held and have people leave platforms services that don't support crypto. For instance if Google has an issue with crypto ads, use Brave/bats.
Also, ETH will need to resolve the scaling issue or projects will need to find there own solution.i think if ETH finds a answer, ETH will rise and bring the rest of the market with it.i know ETH isn t the only platform but it is the more popular one as of today that developers are building their projects on.
I forgot who drop this kat on the board, but he's on point
Here's the thing with all this regulation talk. The very essence of Bitcoin is that it is regulated by the ecosystem aka decentralized. These dummies are trying to apply rules and regulations based solely on a system that doesn't have the people in control of their own money. They won't be comfortable until it looks similar to what we have now and it won't survive like that. All they're doing right now is priming the engines for privacy coins and protocol to go full steam. I could careless about the scared investors running for the hills at this point and the overall market dipping. They weren't in it for the basic premise of Bitcoin in the first place and neither was I, but the more you learn about crypto and do your homework, the more the shit looks like what the future of currency should be. Non of the excuses they are using for regulation hold up and every move they've made to regulate it has been hostile. Nonsensical taxing approach, blocking the average person from investing in ICO's and more. To be a market they claim they aren't scared of or worried about, they sure seem to be making moves to the contrary. I'm holding my bag and learning how to manuever in these times so when it's sweet again, I'll really be in a position to capitalize.

Most of the people in crypto are no better than people who say fuck the police until there family/friends are harmed. Look at the bit connect situation. Instead of taking personal responsibility and/or the L, people blamed others or allowed others to be.
Instead of the different projects working together to self-regulate, fans of the projects call every other projects a scam with little to no proof and project leads join in. People take part in pump and dumps that hurt the community.
The governments were going to attempt to tax the space regardless, but the community escalated the push for regulations by allowing childish behavior and confusing it with free thought.
More importantly the crypto community was dying for integration into the mainstream (except when Ripple was leading the way) instead of bringing the mainstream to them with quality products.now they are crying because they got the other side of the coin that comes with IBM and wall street wanting to support blockchains.
Unfortunately the time for fast easy money are slowly coming to an end. I'm just hoping the space doesn't die slowly. Clearly blockchain is here to stay but the initial idea of crypto may be gone. Luckily I was here for the money and not some new utopia in a world that isn t ready for it.
2017 was a money grabber for anyone involved regardless of skill/knowledge of investing. 2018 has plenty potential to make a lot money, the only difference is the indivual investors approach to the space. I am changing my strategy not my goal of making a certain amount this year and everyone on this board can do the same.....
All of these are down from 3 months ago when the youtube user said these were going to blow.
Bytom Jan 26 > $.43 Today .33
Pillar Jan 26 > $1.15 Today .45
Status Jan 26 > $.28 Today .09
I'm gonna start checking these Youtube fuckers that talk about the NEXT BIG COIN. If you like any of these buy now while their down. I'm just not feeling these clowns that tout the next bit thing. I was liking Status but never jumped in. Now may be a good time but I don't remember why I liked it so much.
Hell Yea for many of these damn coins...
Yeah good shit.
I learned very early on in this thread that the advice of certain folks in here was infinitely more valuable than a majority of these youtube shillers...I didn't/don’t blindly follow posters’ picks but reread their posts to @ least try and find out why they made those picks and what strategies did they use to select entry points etc. it’s been absolutely worth it
Seriously these prices got me feeling like we're going back to last year and we're doin a redo 
So what are y'all bullish on the most right now?
Where y'all stance on Ripple XRP? I'm tempted to trade my 1 ETH back over to XRP
Some are expecting these partnerships to cause an even bigger jump than before.

Like I said before, it just exposes how crooked these governments are. They don't want people to have any fucking freedom. They've wrecked markets but keep saying they are trying to 'protect' people. Meanwhile, thanks to all this KYC bullshit everyone has to do, hackers got the information of millions of people.
Here's a fucking thought if they want to really 'protect' people. Only the people doing ICOs should have to do KYC. That way, scammers can be crucified. When the person is caught, any recovered money can be delivered to the crytpo addresses since they are visible.
These agencies like the SEC trying to impose antiquated rules on this new technology.
"ICOs are MAYBE securities!" Just stfu. What if the utility tokens are being bought for utility? How can these fucks prove otherwise? Syncfab marketed theirs that way. They didn't talk about investments at all. So if manufacturers are buying syncfab, it's a security? FOHU.S. is just moving the game so it's only for 'accredited' investors. The world is going to move on. Non-accredited U.S. citizens just have to be careful going forward. Can't get into ICOs or even private sales, so they will end up buying the top and making accredited investors rich.
Yeah, those type of people irk the fuck out of me. Like you can't have NEO, ETH, QTUM, ADA, and others. Fools will just choose one and shit on the others.
Regardless of what people in crypto did, governments just proved they crooked as shit and don't want people to have freedom. They could just sit back and fucking tax shit at end points. But no, they had to push more. Dumb ass agencies saying exchanges MAY BE trading in securities. Meanwhile, the dumb asses themselves don't even know if crypo is a security.
There's crooks in crypto and then there's the crooked ass governments. Shit is just a mess right now as these crooked governments try to make shit up as they go along. IRS wants to be right. Feds want to be right. SEC wants to be right. CFTC wants to be right.
Remember those money transmitter cases for Localbitcoin? Thought bitcoin wasn't money according to the government? I guess some judges thought that way too.
You know it's fucked up when judges keep giving different rulings. One judge said cryptos are commodities. If that shit rides to the top, I guess the SEC could go fuck itself. But who knows, next judge might rule they securities. Another might say they aren't commodities or securities.
Man, I just fucked my Masternode play I was working on for about a month(or rather Cryptopia fucked my play). My shit is stuck in processing when trying to send to my desktop wallet and now I've wait in their customer service graveyard which is estimated to be 28days by them.
Crazy thing is I made two withdrawals to my desktop wallet just to make sure there wasn't going to be an issue. Then when I send the bulk Cryptopia fucks up. 
I'll just give yall the rundown anyway.
***Full Disclosure: By all research the coin I'm testing is what I would consider a "shitcoin". I've done my homework a bit so I'm satisfied with the risk and the money involved. Make sure your are too.*****
Masternode coin:
SagaCoin (SAGA)
$1.55 USD (22.49%)
0.00018159 BTC (6.74%)
ROI: via Masternodes.online is 310% (at the time of this post)
Daily Return: 20 SAGA= $30 per day reward at $1.50 price
Monthly return: $30x30 days= $900
Cost per MN: at current price $3800
Price stability: Like everything else this coin had a run up in Dec after hitting the exchanges early in the month. The initial price was $1.50 and it shot up to over $21.00 at it's height. Again everything was pumping in mid to late Dec. Now the market has corrected, the price seems to have bottomed out at it's initial opening price. So I'm pretty confident it wouldn't fall too far below the $1.50 mark. I watched the price during the most recent dips and the lowest it got to was about $1.20, but didn't stay there long and the daily price hoovers around $1.40-$1.60 right now.
Daily Volume: While not crazy daily volume is usually around $40-50k. More than enough to sell your daily rewards and cash out/convert to BTC orTether.
Exchange: Cryptopia is a decent sized exchange which contributes to it's decent daily volume and it's listed on CMC so that adds a little legitimacy( a little).
My Strategy: So as I mentioned, one of the reasons I chose this coin was daily volume. Since essentially, you don't want to hold a significant bag. The ideal move is to sell your daily rewards. Selling $30 a day is a very easy sell order to fill. I plan to converting rewards to USDT/Tether everyday. The long term strategy would be to accumulated enough to upgrade/flip to a more reputable Masternode coin like Vsync(which has a real growth potential) or just making extra bucks to invest in good coins in general
.
Conclusion: The risk is there so I must stress that again, but I think for a short term strategy it's a good monthly pull. The alternative is mining and comparatively cost vs return on a MN seems better me. To get any real return on mining, you have some serious hardware that would probably cost you the same if not more than $3800 and be running up electricity bills for a couple hundred bucks return if you're lucky. There are other cheaper masternode coins I'm looking at like Innova( about $1000 per node), but return is roughly about 5 INN per day which is about $5 or $150 monthly. Still something vs sitting on your bag and waiting for the market to recover.

Sierra Leone just ran the first blockchain-based election
John Biggs@ / 15 hours
The citizens of Sierra Leone went to the polls on March 7 but this time something was different: the country recorded votes at 70% of the polling to the blockchain using a technology that is the first of its kind in actual practice.
The tech, created by Leonardo Gammar of Agora, anonymously stored votes in an immutable ledger, thereby offering instant access to the election results.
“Anonymized votes/ballots are being recorded on Agora’s blockchain, which will be publicly available for any interested party to review, count and validate,” said Gammar. “This is the first time a government election is using blockchain technology.”
“Sierra Leone wishes to create an environment of trust with the voters in a contentious election, especially looking at how the election will be publicly viewed post-election. By using blockchain as a means to immutably record ballots and results, the country hopes to create legitimacy around the election and reduce fall-out from opposition parties,” he said.
Why is this interesting? While this is little more than a proof of concept – it is not a complete voting record but instead captured a seemingly acceptable plurality of votes – it’s fascinating to see the technology be implemented in Sierra Leone, a country of about 7.4 million people. The goal ultimately is to reduce voting costs by cutting out paper ballots as well as reducing corruption in the voting process.
Gammar, for his part, sees the value of a decentralizes system.
“We’re the only company in the world that has built a fully-functional blockchain voting platform. Other electronic voting machines are ‘block boxes’ that have been increasingly shown to be vulnerable to security attacks. For that reason, many US states and foreign nations have been moving back to paper,” he said. “If you believe that most countries will use some form of digital voting 50 years from now, then blockchain is the only technology that has been created which can provide an end-to-end verifiable and fully-transparent voting solution for this future.”
One election in one country isn’t a movement – yet. However, Gammar and his team plan on expanding their product to other African countries and, eventually, to the rest of the world.
As for the election it is still unclear who won and there will be a run-off election on March 27. The winner will succeed President Ernest Bai Koroma who has run the country for a full decade.
Well damn.

Mainstream Media Reports of “Blockchain Elections” in Sierra Leone Are All Fake News
The hype around so called applications of “blockchain technology” is nothing new, as many people have successfully used it to get free publicity for themselves, riding the coattails of Bitcoin’s success. But while it so far was limited mainly to promoting ICO tokens and inflating stock prices, now it seems to have crossed a border into political affairs. Today the people behind the election process in the African nation of Sierra Leone had to publicly come out to correct the record about “the world’s first blockchain elections.”
Mohamed Conteh the Chairman of the National Electoral Commission (NEC) of Sierra Leone, the constitutionally-mandated organization supervising voter registration and all public election in the country, has come out to make it clear for the public that despite multiple media reports to the contrary, no distributed ledger technology was used during the country’s 7 March national elections. He stated that “the NEC has not used, and is not using blockchain technology in any part of the electoral process.”
