I agree. Cryptos that have working shit are waaaaaaay ahead right now. In this game, 6 months minus whale be 5 years. Don't even tell me about what you have planned for 2019 or 2020 in your fucking white paper. I don't care if you have a development team comprised of Vulcans from the 23rd century. Don't want to hear it unless something is working right the fuck now. Some projects have $1 billion valuations without even a testnet being promised until mid-2018. By that time, other projects will be too well established and regulations might start kicking in that will hurt growth.
I want the projects that ICOs will launch off. I want the projects that others will use for their own projects even without ICOs. I want public projects that can be used privately for businesses who don't have or want to create their own blockchains.
I want privacy coins that are being used, not ones that are coming later this year or don't bring anything better than current top ones.
A lot of these coins are just copies of copies of fucking copies. I believe we will have the McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's in this game. 3 tops for every category. 3 top platforms. 3 top money transfers. 3 top privacy(which can also be in money transfer). 3 top gambling. 3 top centralized exchange. 3 top DEX. etc. When the dust settles, folks need to be in a least one of the top survivors.
Just like wall street got attracted to BTC, folks will get attracted to worthy alts. But the time is now. Shit won't last forever, and the worthy projects will get press and eat during this run. I want to cash out in 2018 and just hold shit just because.
Doesn't mean anything as far as McDonald's as a whole, however, part of the reason I bought OMG was because McDonald's in Thailand will be using OMG. Also, to your point OMG is under Omise which is already an established company who are moving into using blockchain technology.
I couldn't get into the ICO, but I'm also interested in Hdac. Hyundai is creating it so it may have potential.
Another ICO I couldn't get into was Icon.However, I was able to buy the IOU, so I hope it works out. I can't remember exactly why I bought Icon, but they are supposedly working with established entities from what I can remember.
HDAC is cool but I think they want KYC smmfh...there’s a reason why I crossed them off tho...lemme double check
*edit*
yep...US participation is restricted
It's not so much an investment but the fact that blockchain tech is being used in applications beyond cryptocurrency.
While the coins and investment aspects are great, actual blockchain tech that they are built on being used and crossing over into business practices and helping to revolutionize how businesses work and functions is fucking epic.
Oh big time FYI for those interested in the blockchain /tech aspect I dropped some info in the biz forum.

Financial data firm Bloomberg has added three new cryptocurrencies – ethereum (ether), Ripple (XRP) and litecoin – alongside bitcoin on its Terminal service.
According to a Fortune report, sources said the addition of the new price data is aimed at forex traders seeking to explore the new instruments.
They also suggested that Bloomberg terminal data for the new cryptocurrencies is being provided by Luxembourg-based exchange Bitstamp.
Back in April 2014, Bloomberg opened up bitcoin prices to its Bloomberg Professional service, and in June of that year it was revealed that the data was being sourced from the itBit exchange.
The move comes amid sharp rises in the prices of many alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, along with the spike in bitcoin prices. Just yesterday, Ripple's XRP token surged to a new record close to 90 cents, while ether and litecoin have also both hit new highs in the past week.
Bloomberg Terminal provides subscribers with real-time financial data, and allows them to place trades over an electronic trading platform. The system also features news and messaging options.

Using the Blockchain to Reinvent the Music Business

When it gets talked about at all outside of hard-core programming circles, the term “blockchain” is usually used in the context of Bitcoin, the virtual currency that some see as the future of money. But some independent musicians are hopeful that blockchain technology can do more than just create a new monetary or financial standard — they hope it can help them reinvent the music business.
Although they are often used interchangeably, bitcoin and the blockchain are separate things. Bitcoin is the currency — a form of digital peer-to-peer money that doesn’t require a financial intermediary like a bank — and the blockchain is a way of storing information about Bitcoin transactions in a database.
Since a blockchain database is both distributed (that is, identical and interconnected versions of it are hosted in multiple locations) and encrypted, transactions and other information are easy to track and hard to tamper with.
Singer Imogen Heap and violinist Zoe Keating say using the blockchain — along with Bitcoin or some other payment method — gives them an opportunity to go directly to their fans for support. Instead of having to use a record label or a platform like iTunes or Spotify, they can sell their work to individual users.
“I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if I could decide what I wanted to do with my music?” Heap said at a recent Guardian Live event. “I might decide, today’s my birthday, I’m going to give all of my music to everyone for free today. At the moment, I can’t do that. Because it’s out there, and once it’s out there, I don’t really have a say in it any more.”
Heap recently released a new song, Tiny Human, using blockchain technology and crypto-currency payments. And she has said she wants to build a similar distributed music database for artists that she calls Mycelia.
The idea, she says, would be to create a system of identifying everyone who was involved in a piece of music, along with how they would be compensated for the finished song — as well as rules around how and where and when the music could be used, either for free or in return for a fee.
MORE: Now you can tip your favorite musician… in bitcoin
Keating, a Canadian-born musician and composer, said that her ideas about what might be possible with Bitcoin and the blockchain were sparked in part by the recent Blockchain Summit, which billionaire Virgin founder Richard Branson held on Necker Island, his private getaway in the Caribbean.
“I can imagine a ledger of all that information and an ecosystem of killer apps to visualize usage and relationships,” Keating told Forbes. “I can imagine a music exchange where the real value of a song could be calculated on the fly. I can imagine instant, frictionless micropayments and the ability to pay collaborators and investors in future earnings without it being an accounting nightmare.”
Heap worked with Ethereum, which is building a blockchain-based file-sharing social network, to come up with her latest digital release. And she also worked with Ujo, a service that uses Ethereum’s blockchain platform to allow musicians and other artists to record and publish rules on how they want their music to be used.
Using this system, users can download Heap’s song and pay for it using Ethereum’s version of Bitcoin (called Ether), but other musicians can also download tracks of specific instruments and pay for the right to use them in their own music. Others exploring the use of blockchain and Bitcoin for music include Bittunes, which allows musicians and their fans to both get paid in Bitcoin for sharing music, and PeerTracks.
Heap told the Guardian Live audience that she sees blockchain databases controlled by individual musicians and artists not just as a way to ensure they get paid, but a way of disrupting the entire outdated music industry.
“It feels as if the music industry is a complete mess, a rusty, overstretched, tired machine,” she said. “Grappling with a lot of old crooked contracts that don’t reflect our times, music services that run on greed to please shareholders smothered in buy-buy-buy adverts, dated accounting setups favouring anyone but the artist thanks to gross inefficiencies, confusing royalty statements and delayed payments… plus patchy copyright databases. It is almost impossible to find out who REALLY gets what.”

Nice. Looks like Ripple's just entered the major leagues.
You can send from Gdax and its free. Use the same log in as in coinbase. Transfer from coinbase to Gdax and then transfer anywhere else and its free.
Is there a fee to transfer from coinbase to Gdax?
No. Gdax is owned by coinbase so it’s free.
Big thanks to everyone on this thread. I went from newbie to owner of several different types of coins in about a weeks span. Can't believe how much potential LIFE CHANGING information is located in this post. I see that people are trying to figure out how to buy ripple. I did the same thing that others are talking about above but I learned it in this YouTube video. Takes a while to get use to the process but its a great way to get started.
It happened to me on bittrex an I had to contact customer support an send in some info. But on the other sites it looks like they give you that seed/passphrase hopefully you wrote down an you will give that to customer support, but you have to contact them.
try this, hopefully it works, but customer support will be able to take it off for you.

I switched phones months ago and if you didn't bring over your data from authenticator then you'd have to do each company one by one.
I think I logged in to the sites with my old phone and redid the keys for each one. If you look longer have the cell then you're going to have to contact support for each site
Props on this.
Did you write down and your keys? If you did you can regenerate your authenticator from anywhere, I do it as practice.
Another best practice is to download the G-Authenticator Chrome plug in and you can have it available in your browser too in case you lose your phone. But yeah, recording your key is the key. You can then download Google Authenticator on any phone any app anywhere and use your keys to regenerate you authentication codes.
Why would you want a single entity decide what happens to your holdings?
Exchanges are delisting cryptos out here everyday b. You can leave your shit on there if you want to
Coinbase ain't going anywhere.Why would you want a single entity decide what happens to your holdings?

Yup Im going through this now bittrex is delisting Safex but they made the announcement then did wallet maintence for like 3 days so you couldnt move them.
Coinbase got me caught in this pending bullshit. Waiting on a transaction to be sent to my GDAX so I can buy TRX. My first transaction was flawless and went through in like 5 min but this one has me waing going on two hours now. Any idea on how long its gonna take?
Do any of you use any hot wallets? I will get the nano s when I have more money invested but for now I just need something reliable an free (if possible)
My dude. Coinbase is just a gateway to get in/out. When I'm talking about exchanges, I'm talking exchanges that you can trade for other cryptos that don't accept fiat i.e. Bittrex, Cryptopia, Bitfinex, Binance, Poloniex and the likes there of.
damn, I sent some ETH thru gdax about 90mins ago an it was smooth. Maybe its just the system is overloaded at the moment.
when he replied with coinbase I knew he didn't quite understand what was meant by exchanges. What's some wallets you have used personally?
Oh ok yeah fuck those exchanges they never work smoothly I can't get shit on kraken it keeps crashing.
Don't sleep on Etherdelta! That's the first place Ether based ICO tokens are dumped before they get listed to a major exchange. I don't sweat ICO's that don't let US citizens enter because I can get them there. Scooped up WABI, DRGN,AOIN, and DENT.
Its just those exchanges especially Bittrex keep buckling to the SEC everytime they get wind of anything they say adverse to crypto.
I have yet to master ED. I got in in the middle of the cryptokitties hype and I lost out on a significant position of DRGN cause my transaction got locked up for a few days.
Yeah cryptokitties hype was real. I had to set my gas price higher to get the transaction through. I always check the gas prices now before transactions.
https://ethgasstation.info/
ya...the price difference is crazy tho...DRGN ICO was about $0.06 and it hit ED @ around $0.24 and fucking wabi was $0.25 @ ICO and hit ED @ a little over $1...still pissed as hell @ the regulations imposed on the WABI ICO...I was prepared to buy 100k+ for about $25k...when it hit ED it’d have cost me @ least $100k...huge difference
