Official BGOL Crypto Currency Thread ★★★★★

Any word on what went down at Consensus? What about the event last week in New York that was supposed to have a Ripple demo?
Fam I been tracking that shit all morning. I don't think anything groundbreaking happened so far. At least I haven't seen anything that would affect the price.
 
Yo NY residents. What are yall using to get bitcoins? Bitstamp fucking sucks they cant handle the load. Coinbase has that dumb ass limit. We're basically blocked from the other exchanges. How are the brothers from NY getting bitcoins? The shit is mad frustrating.

Try finding the lowest few atm in your area.

Sidenote: Has anyone used the Atm and tried to deposit their bitcoin directly into Kracken/Bittrex/Poloniex/etc.. instead of Coinbase?

The ATMs I've used gave that option, though I've deposited to my Android bitcoin wallet, then to the exchanges for surety
 
In summary, is Bittrex the best site for some of these new coins? Right now all of my XRP is in Kraken,I have a few BS coins on Polo,and i'm verified on Bitstamp. Should I sign up for Bittrex to dabble in some of these other coins or are they available on any of the aforementioned sites?

Bittrex is where I'm doing the other coins.

First off, major props on this thread! Been watching it from day one and still didn't do shit back in January smh. Literally SICK for not jumping on the Ripple train but it's still money in these alt coins. Zcash might be moving with news of Chase partnering with them today. I'm not a pro like you brothas but I try to follow the news to see if I can catch that next Ripple type coin.

JPMorgan Chase To Integrate Zcash Technology To Its Enterprise Blockchain Platform


Bitcoin was once (and, to some extent, still is) tainted by its association with illicit activity. But as a number of criminals have found out, transactions in Bitcoin can be tracked.

So when Zcash, a so-called privacy coin, launched last October, it raised questions about who would want to use such a currency that had the option to function as a true digital equivalent of cash, leaving no fingerprints behind.

It turns out banks just might want that feature.

Monday, the company behind Zcash, the Zerocoin Electric Coin Company (ZECC) announces a partnership with JPMorgan Chase to add Zcash’s privacy technology to Quorum, an enterprise blockchain platform JPMorgan built on Ethereum, a network similar to bitcoin's but focused on smart contracts.

Quorum, which already features private smart contracts, will now be able to ensure private settlement of digitized assets on a distributed ledger.

Zooko Wilcox, ZECC chief executive, expressed his enthusiasm for the deal: “I'm excited that our first enterprise customer is the most valuable bank in the world." ZECC also announced last night that it has joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, of which JPMorgan Chase is already a member.


“By adding the Zero-knowledge Security Layer into Quorum, we are able to explore how state of the art cryptographic privacy technology will enhance the next generation of financial services applications,” said JPMorgan executive director and blockchain center of excellence lead architect Suresh Shetty in a statement.

"Quorum is designed for the institutional financial markets, and commercial confidentiality is a key requirement for companies that trade in those markets because they don't want their competitors to be able to see what they're trading, what positions they're taking, or who their counterparties are," said Zcash chief operating officer Jack Gavigan via email. "Until now, blockchain technology's lack of privacy and confidentiality has been a major obstacle to adoption. By combining the the zero-knowledge security layer (ZSL) with Quorum's private smart contracts, that obstacle is removed for many use cases, ranging from simple equity trades to complex derivatives."


Lack of privacy and confidentiality in blockchain technology has caused hesitation among banks. But enabling privacy in smart contracts could help facilitate the use of blockchains in transactions such as simple equity trades and complex derivatives.

So far, only 18% of transactions in Zcash appear to have chosen the privacy option, but Wilcox maintains that banks feel privacy is necessary so as not to expose the details of their transactions to competitors on the distributed ledgers that underly the technology that makes cryptocurrencies possible.

Zcash isn't the only privacy coin. Monero offers less perfect privacy technology but greater speeds, which could be relevant for transactions, say, on a mobile device.

As of press time, Zcash is the 20th-most valuable cryptocurrency by market capitalization, at $173 million, and a price of $128 per coin. Its investors include Naval Ravikant, the CEO and cofounder of AngelList, blockchain venture firms Digital Currency Group, Pantera Capital and Fenbushi Capital, as well as top entrepreneurs in the space such as Adam Ludwin of enterprise blockchain firm Chain and Fred Ehrsam, the cofounder of Coinbase.

Is Zcash gonna be like $1000+ in a few years when Bitcoin is like $10,000+???
 
Trying to cover as many bases as I can Coins: XRP, BTC, ETH, SC, BCN, DGB, DOGE, RDD, last coin will be THC. From then just gonna add coins to each weekly. Except for the 3 heavy hitters I am waiting for the .10 cent mark on the other coins then I am out. That large of an investment will take time for me but my gains from XRP have funded all the other coins. So I am still in the catbird seat while I learn the ropes. The money I made in two week of XRP was a nice chunk. I have a auto debit set up with coinbase for every sunday that will be my weekly investment money. Not much at all but enough to chip away at each of those. I just have to relax now and not rush and do anything drastic.

By 2020 we gonna be rolling in dough folks!!!
