Gotdamn, what's up with these exchanges fucking up transactions? This time Cryptobridge is holding another $1K of my money hostage. Sent some BTC to my Cryptobridge address. transaction is fully confirmed on the explorer but, nothing. FML
Unfortunately SyncFab's BS does not top the BS I've suffered through with Titanium. Titanium Blockchain was hacked so they had to fork. The coin lost all of it's value due to that hack but has come back an inch. Well, actually I take that back, SyncFab is worse.
ICOs in general FOR ME in 2018 have not worked out:
Titanium Blockchain - hacked - to be fair it wasnt so bad until it was hacked and they had to fork
SyncFab - Clown show
CoinLoan - listed with HitBTC at fraction of ICO price
RentBerry - listed with HitBTC at a fraction of ICO price
GameTest Coin - saw how bad the market was and delayed the ICO which was supposed to happen in March indefinitely
The market environment has changed and will not change until the SEC takes it foot off the necks. Even if they're going to tax it hard, bring clarity and there's hope. In addition, the big WallStreet Funds need to be moved to stop shorting Bitcoin. They only way to do that is if price breaks levels much higher.

In the market, we look for catalysts to move the market: Earnings, Employment #'s (every month), FOMC (interest rates), etc. What can be the catalyst to bring momentum back to the cryptocurrency market?
I agree with others that we need direction from SEC. The problem also is all the new people who bought on their friends recommendation are either burnt and gone for good, or in so much pain they are looking for any excuse to sell and get out. My DJ friend approached me when he found out that I invested and said his son told him to buy Bitcoin. He's down BIG. It's people like that who are just holding to get anywhere near breakeven.
On a similar note, look at this thread, 3 months ago, there would be 2-3 pages a day (on the low side). Now it takes 2-3 days to get 1 page.
So again, where's the momentum of 2017? What can bring it back?

Man I've been wondering this for while now. I've switched up some thing s so I don't have as much time as I dido the past. I step in every so often to see if there's any buzz or anything....smh nothing, nope, Nathan, nada....
No experts talking of a coins potential...
No newbie asking anything...
No one like myself posting a the coin of the day(coin displaying great gains) even if it's a shit per say...
So hopefully I'd get back to posting in this thread soon.
I must say there been some green for two days in a row
Oh, gotdamn I see at least 2 of those I right about to pull the trigger on particularly Coinloan was $2 per token. I don't see it on HitBtc. What is it at now?
The big correction and really the up and down roller coaster put must people into a lull. Smart money just HOLD'd or tried to buy the dips. We just couldn't tell what the hell the bottom was. If you got in this thread before May/June of last year you should be good money, but second half of the year's gains were pretty much wiped out. I think the ones that stuck around in this thread, just tried to hone their analysis skills to make better/solid pick for the future. If you did that ,well now is the time to see the realization of those solid picks coming back. We learned ICO picks aren't a guaranteed come up as well. My move after all this was looking for passive income by way of MN and that more recently is starting to pay off. I still love everything about crypto. After the beginning of this year, ain't too much that can scare me away.

Finally back in the green. No thanks to Ripple. Zilliqa has almost double my investment.
A useful Reddit post on how to do your own research on coins.
Any time the market rising people flock to cryptocurrency looking for "the next big win" and are constantly asking others to tell them what the best opportunity is.
Because in many countries the cryptocurrency market is not a regulated industry, it is one that is ripe with manipulation and scams. The mod team here at /r/cryptocurrency regularly has to ban professional manipulation groups (sometimes as large as 800 members) who have been paid to promote projects.
Given this, it's important to be able to do your own research and so I've assembled this handy guide for you.
Some tools that might be useful:
Step 1 - Understanding your risk profile:
A lot of people advocate for users purchasing cryptocurrencies and tokens that are "low-cap" ($10M - $100M) because they have the most opportunity to grow.
While this may be the case, the smaller a coin, and the earlier the project the more risk there is that the project can go to 0.
In traditional stocks some people are happy to make a 3% - 4% annual return, but would be in financial hardship if they lost money, and will invest in larger, safer and more stable stocks.
Other people, would only be satisfied with a return of 7% - 12% annual return. These people may also be willing to lose all of their investment. In their case they'd look at higher risk and turn around companies.
We say these two people have different 'risk profiles.'
It's important with any purchase (even something like a car) to decide what your financial risk profile is.
My personal view is that just because something has the highest chance of return, doesn't mean that it is the best opportunity.
Step 2 - Identify New Coins:
There are three ways I generally discover 'new' coins:
One of the first things I do when examining new projects is find really strict criteria to remove projects from the list.
Everyone should come up with their own list of things that voids a coin from being on their list, but here are a few I personally use:
Step 4 - Doing detailed research:
First and foremost I read the white paper and then I ask myself the following questions:
I then look at:
Everyone has different research methods, and things they look out for. Consider sharing yours in the thread below so that others, especially new users, can learn from your methods!

Some tools that might be useful:
- CoinCheckUp.com - this is my preferred research site as they have a lot more data, and more diverse data than other price monitoring sites.
- Coinmarketcap.com - this is one of the oldest price tracking sites, and is more popular than CoinCheckUp, but has less data.
- Delta Portfolio Tracker - A popular cryptocurrency potfolio tracker. (Downloadable app not vetted by /r/cryptocurrency)
- Blockfolio - A popular cryptocurrency potfolio tracker. (Downloadable app not vetted by /r/cryptocurrency)
- Crypto isn't an investment strategy.
- Crypto is highly volatile and highly risky. Any money put into crypto could be lost in a crash. It could take years to recover. It could never recover.
- The following information is not financial advice.
- This is a guide on how to perform research, and is formed from an individual opinion. It's focus is helping you debunk some of the under qualified advice that others try to give in this space. It should not be considered complete or sufficient. You should never base any decisions on things you read online. Use your own best judgement.

Step 2 - Identify New Coins:
There are three ways I generally discover 'new' coins:
- 1) Bitcointalk.org forum posts in the altcoin and token announcement sections.
- 2) Coins mentioned here on /r/cryptocurrency
- 3) Coins newly listed on https://coincheckup.com/newly-added as coins tend to list on price trackers very early on.
One of the first things I do when examining new projects is find really strict criteria to remove projects from the list.
Everyone should come up with their own list of things that voids a coin from being on their list, but here are a few I personally use:
- I don't buy coins in industries I don't understand.
- I don't buy coins in regulated industries.
- I don't buy coins that are inactive in communication on social media.
- I don't buy coins that are registered in countries where I can't validate that a corporate entity.
- I don't buy coins if I can't find their executives on LinkedIn and validate it is a real profile.
- I don't buy coins that spam low quality partnerships on channels like /r/cryptocurrency
- If a coin is building a brand new technology, I won't buy it unless there is a detailed technical paper explaining the new technology.
- If a coin had an pre-ICO with discount, I tend not to buy it. If I do, it would need to be a small ICO discount and significant time would have needed to pass so that early investors have likely already dumped on the market.
- I don't buy coins if I wouldn't use them as a customer.
Step 4 - Doing detailed research:
First and foremost I read the white paper and then I ask myself the following questions:
- Would I use this as a customer?
- Would I pay that price as a customer?
- Does this project require a new technology to be built?
- If I look at the team behind the project, do they have a previous track record? Have they run a successful company previously? What happened to that company?
- Does this team have the ability to build this technology? Are their engineers published in this industry? Do they have product managers and customer support?
- Is it clear how the project will get users/customers?
- Why are they using the blockchain - does it add value here? What are the pros and cons to using the blockchain here and why would the blockchain improve the current alternative? (Remember, right now blockchains are slow and costly in most cases)
- Watch out for absolutist claims. Every projects has downsides and cons, a real project will be realistic in outlining those.
I then look at:
- Tab "Analysis" > "GitHub Development" to see if there is active engineering development on the project.
- Tab "Analysis" > "Coin facts & figures" if it is a company I check the information on the CEO/CTO as well as some info on the team.
- Tab "Markets" - I check where the coin is trading to see if any of my preferred exchanges are available yet. If it's on limited exchanges, I look for non-sketchy ones. I also may look to see if there is a large spread between currencies.
- Tab "Charts" - I check that the volume has a decent, growing and steady turnover. It's easy to get trapped at a bad price in a currency that has a low volume.
- Are they constantly announcing partnerships etc? If so, what will those partnerships do for me? Are they legitimate? If they are frequent low quality posts, I assume they are just trying to pump the market and I'll avoid it.
- Are the users hostile towards people who are critical of their project, or who are asking questions? If it is a brainwashed, angry, subreddit that can't have any questions, I usually try and avoid.
- Does their team's marketing/communication people respond to posts in a genuine fashion or is there a lot of "marketing" language with no real answer?
- Finding "the next big coin" is overrated. When you weigh up the risk the odds are better that a divrese set of coins would be better.
Everyone has different research methods, and things they look out for. Consider sharing yours in the thread below so that others, especially new users, can learn from your methods!
Yeah, they supposedly were to comment on the email hack. They are ignoring that. The other channel is hoping they can get the price to 2o cents by years end.
Man. There are just too many ICOs that shouldn't even be happening. I remember when BeeToken was the shit. Now it has $95,000 volume sitting on IDEX/Cobinhood hell.
People running most these ICOs rather keep the BTC/ETH then pay real exchanges to get listed. Regardless of market conditions, anyone delaying their ICO is batshit crazy. More and more are popping up by the day. If you have an idea, you better move now before 2 or 3 others do it before you. Switcheo did just fine in a horrible market. Whitelist was done in a day.
Also, major corporations are starting to promote their blockchains. Unless you an existing business with clients/partners in place, where do you fit in?
great breakdown...I would modify step 4 (question #1) bcuz instead of asking “would I use this as a customer?” I prefer to ask would a business or other blockchain developers want to use this? bcuz imo companies and other devs will be the first ones to adopt the technology and ultimately drive it into the hands of consumers or create a need for them to demand it...I wouldn’t say it has to be an “either” “or” thing...both definitely are questions that should be asked
also another source for step 2 is icobench.com it will keep you abreast of projects before they hit the market and has one of the best search options for ICO sites...you can narrow your search down to a particular category, specific ratings, country of origin, etc. again @Raymond your breakdown was incredible...when you can learn to fish on your own the game can open up tremendously for you...there was a time when my “research” consisted of judging how nice a website looked, how cool was the logo and checking a white paper for typos smh lol...had to start somewhere tho
that’ll happen...I think we’re counting them out far too early...it’s been a rough 3 months overall...the next couple months hopefully will help me determine the true (financial) potential of the project lol
good shit I implement most of it..
but as far as coinmarketcap
didnt someone post how they fuck around with the pricing of some coins
so you really have to watch them and double check their price listing...?
ICOs take a good 3-6 months to blossom (assuming the project is solid to begin w/ and has a decent community) although some of course are homerun hitters out the gate...plus you factor in the red winter...the next couple months will be more telling hopefully

lol...I’m just being a dick...nice ride
Throwing a GEM out there
Look out for https://www.marketprotocol.io/
They will NOT have an ICO but this token will explode in value once released

na I was just worried about repercussions...remember we had to do KYC so it didn’t make sense keeping them shits lol
only reason I’m confident is the crypto community can be forgiving...remember QRL and the public bickering amongst the team? that shit is @ $1.24 and has been doing relatively well in this shitty market...worst case scenario syncfab will get a “mercy pump” if they can get on an exchange w/ decent volume if/when the market flourishes again
Thanks for the icobench.com tip. It's a great starting point to know what's coming. The "how to research coins" breakdown wasn't mine. It was posted on reddit. On point #4 I agree that it should also have a bullet point stating "Would a business use this cryptocurrency?". It depends on who the crypto is trying to market to.

Clean vehicle.
After seeing one of these in person I made it a goal to own one.
They KYC’d for the ICO, so keeping those tokens probably isn’t a good move.
Marketcap almost at $400B, that's were the bottom of the first correction was in early Feb. Also it's where the market was in early December before that crazy pump. Hopefully it's more gradual and consistent that. I'd be happy with $600B by the end of summer.
PS for reference since there a few of us that are hold WGR, it's at $0.20 exactly the same price as when the marketcap was $400B in December.

Asking investment advice. I have some bitcoin that I own. Been trying to keep it has part of my portfolio. However, I have been thinking about using it to buy some zilliqua and nebilio. thoughts?
Between the two just looking at the numbers I'd say Neblio. Lower marketcap right now, low supply. More room for higher returns.
The team has been busy, read the update...
Get Ready to Wagerr on the World Cup! The Wagerr Team has been extremely busy over the last few months, and is proud to announce that they are now currently testing both head-to-head betting and on-chain betting on the Wagerr Privatenet, in preparation for the 2018 World Cup!
Wagerr holders can expect to either bet in pairs against each other through matched head to head bets, or directly on the blockchain, which will mediate the collective payout liability. The team’s current sentiment is that on-chain betting is the most feasible starting point for Wagerr betting during the 2018 World Cup.
The Wagerr Team has been working to develop Oracle Masternodes that can contribute to resulting for the World Cup. The Oracle Masternodes function as the central checkpoint to achieve super-consensus on event results, thus triggering proper payouts. The team believes that the best way to deploy the Wagerr betting layer is in a modular fashion. As a result, the first Oracle Masternodes for the World Cup will be centralized, and run by the team.
The scheduled portion of fees generated from Wagerr Network betting, and earned by the centralized Oracles, will initially be distributed to eligible (active) masternodes, rewarding those who have supported the network in its early stage.
It's also worth noting at this point that CEO David Mah has been in negotiations to license Wagerr (the company) as a regulated gaming business. It is a lengthy process, but one that Wagerr is proud to embark on. This move intelligently positions Wagerr to raise its profile within the current online gaming industry while rolling out a fully decentralized system. This will not negatively impact the ability of any user, in any location, to interact with the blockchain.
The next few months will be a very exciting time for the Wagerr Community! The weather is heating up, and so is the Wagerr Network! The team has been working very hard on development, exchange negotiations are ongoing, the team has entered discussions regarding future partnerships that could be beneficial for both Wagerr users & the Wagerr Network as a whole, and the team has been solidifying their marketing plans in anticipation of the World Cup and the start of betting on the Wagerr Blockchain! Stay tuned to Wagerr.com & Wagerr's numerous social media channels for many more exciting announcements over the next few months.
Betting belongs on the Blockchain... And that’s exactly what the team intends to make possible for the 2018 World Cup!

Doc we're going to $30 wagerr to the moon baby!!!!
Well, we need an exchange announcement next so people can actually buy and SELL. The Waves trading is still dominating the price and that's the old tokens, so yeah a major exchange should be next. That's shou;d've happened over a month ago. I am happy about this announce though. The product is getting delivered for World Cup and ready to turn my MN into an Oracle for betting.
WGR has been added to Livecoin, been there for a few days now although this is not the "big exchange" news we were waiting for. Either way, more liquidity, the more I'm happy with my investment
