    Makor's (brokerage firm) partnership with a cryptocurrency exchange would bring institution investors on board

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 08:08 AM PST

    Legolas and Makor partner to appeal institutional investors, I feel having hedge funds and large investors on board would definitely develop trust in the crypto industry and since institutional investors only invest if the exchange is transparent and secure. Seems like the ICO should be a good investment.

    Who are the people making buy orders at unbelievably low prices?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 04:18 AM PST

    There's something that puzzles me when I look at market depth for any market: the opened buy orders at prices that will most probably never be revisited.

    I wanted to see how much those buy orders would represent individually. I took the ETHUSDT market on poloniex and (painfully) navigated to the bottom of buy orders book. I found a buy order for 102969.99 USDT, at 22 USDT per ETH : https://imgur.com/a/FkGhO

    I get that some people may count on flash crashes, especially after the one we saw on coinbase in ETHUSD market. But I suppose that if it was the reason for that buy order, that person would have put like 10 to 100 USDT. Because all those buy orders are money basically stuck (they can't use it anymore while their order is open), and it probably won't be recovered ever (unless cancelling the order).

    The other possible reason I was thinking about was that people who created those orders basically forgot about it. Again, this sound plausible for 10 or 100 USDT, but certainly not for more than 100k.

    Do you see any other reason those orders even exist?

    Top weekly crypto picks: Building a bear-proof futureproof portfolio

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 04:51 AM PST

    Nobody likes a bear market but if you've been in teh game long enough you'll know that this is when the money is made, and that means watching the market closer then ever to find the gems. In the past, I've shared how I've built a futureproof portfolio so I thought i'd share what I'm moving around this week, especially with this dip.

    Thanks to everyone who has shared in previous threads No week in crypto is ever the same and even in this bear market now is the time to be stocking on the future-proof coins! Our sticking together as a community and weeding out the shitcoins helps both the reddit hivemind and individual investors.

    My methodology

    • If you've read any of my posts before, you would know I follow a strict methodology because investing in a coin. If you're starting out and want to learn more about what makes a good project, check out this post.

    But most importantly the golden rule:

    • Never chase pumps and hold the dips - All coins will experience ups and downs, but if you invest in solid tech you've built on a strong foundation. Time in the market is more important then timing the market

    Foundation picks

    These are my blue-chip shares: the projects I believe have proved themself worthy of the long hold. They will hold (relative) value through dips but still have the potential to increase exponentially with adoption. You'll notice most of them are platforms, not specific projects. Most of my reasoning behind this is because while singular projects may multiple in value, platforms will increase in value exponentialy. See my previous posts for reasonings behind these picks

    • Ethereum

    • IOTA

    • Neo

    • Monero

    • Stellar

    • Request Network

    • Factom

    • Vechain - New - VeChain is the first project in months to be promoted to my core picks. With their appointment of billionaire investor Jim Breyer and global partnership with transport giant DNV GL, not to mention one of the worlds largest tobacco manufacturers which is backed by the Chinese governemnt. Vechain's core target is eliminating counterfieting through integrated RFID and blockchain technology, but they have since announced they plan on expanding their scope to a full range of blockchain solutions. I have VEN pegged as 2018 Ethereum, and I don't say that lightly!

    Trading picks

    Busy couple of weeks as I've been on the road for work but the coins i've been actively trading through the week have been:

    • OmiseGo - OMG's mainnet launch is growing very close and it has seen very little price movement. I'd be surprised if we didn't see some more the hype and FOMO that OmiseGo saw in late 2017. Built by SE Asia financial tech company Omise, OmiseGo is the blockchain project which will process all their transaction data with their mainnet launch. OMG token holders will be rewarded dividends from all transaction going through the blockchain.

    • SelfKey - SelfKey is a Blockchain based digital identity system that allows individuals and companies to own, control and manage their digital identity. Fantastic use-case, definitely one of the better usecases for blockchain technology I have seen. It just finished its ICO and is building well towards being a solid platform.

    • UTrust - Payment platform system with the world's first inbuilt cryptocurrency consumer protections. Haven't heard much from the devs in the last week and it has been bleeding slowly and never recovered. I don't hold many at the moment but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

    • Nebulas - Nebulas is an open-source multi-data-type search engine for everything blockchain. NAS has a live testnet now with Mainnet launching in Q1 2018. NAS has a fantastic high-profile team with devs from both Google, MIT and more. Excited to see where this token goes!

    • Lamden Tau - A suite of developer tools that speed up the process of creating new and custom blockchains and apps. Lamden's developer tools will allow devs to utilise the strengths of different blockchains interchangeably. Lamden solves the cross-chain use-cases problem. It hasn't hit any real big exchanges and hasn't been bleeding as much as other alts, meaning it might be a good pick-up now. They've just announced a partnership with Bounty0x (which is quite well known) which has given it a whole heap of exposure.

    • Binance Coin - Number one altcoin exchange both in volume and users. BNB token is used for reducing fees and trading pairs. If you are a Binance user, don't forget to get some BNB and check the "Use BNB" on your account page to to halve your fees.

    • Po.et - Po.et is a shared, universal ledger designed to track ownership and attribution for the world's digital creative assets. It will be a way for content creators to verify that their work is their own as well as a datestamp of this creation date. There are already other projects with similar concepts, but po.ets execution seems quite well done so far. Worth keeping an eye on.

    • Horizon State Decision Token - I've talked about Decision Token in the past and this last week it has caught my eye again. Horizon State has built a token-based blockchain voting and decision-making platform for securing and verfiying election and polling results. It boasts a secure digital ballot box that cannot be hacked, results cannot be tamperewd with and voter identities are protected. More exciting is HS's partnership with the United Nations Intergovernmental Organisation to use their MiVote platform.

    • Chainlink - I almost feel bad every time I end up adding stinky link back into my portfolio but it is just so damn attractive. No matter how popular smart contracts or blockchain tech gets, it will never acheive real-world usage without the ability to connect to external services. Enter Chainlink. Chainlink will provide decentralized oracles which connect crypto and the real world. Chainlink is already working with SWIFT (global banking communication company) and has had companies such as AXA insurance, Sony and others. Check out their working testnet at https://create.smartcontract.com.

    Looking forward to hearing what everyone else is trading this week!

    Review of the Q4 XRP Report

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 07:35 AM PST

    https://xrphodor.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/review-of-the-q4-xrp-report/

    Being a change agent for banking is unforgiving work. Luckily for us, Ripple is more than up to the task.

    In my review of the Quarter 4, 2017 XRP Markets Report, I review the effect of recent negative publicity, as well as remind XRP investors about some key comsiderations that they should remember when seeing resistance to the change that Ripple - and XRP - represents.

    And of course, we will look at Miguel's quarterly XRP report to see some surprising numbers for Ripple. Spoiler alert: Ripple made as much money in one quarter than they did for an entire year. I'm not giving it all away, however, so you'll have to read my blog to find out more.

    I hope you enjoy the read!

    Thanks, -Hodor

    ICON: Network of Networks

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 04:17 AM PST

    Source: Speculative Rationality

    NETWORK OF NETWORKS INFOGRAPH

    ICON aims to facilitate the wholesale adoption of a decentralized and trustless society powered by blockchains. The adoption of which is dependent on the connectivity and interoperability of the blockchains powering the various organisations and factions of society. These factors become more and more important as the blockchain ecosystem develops and expands and is the driver behind ICON's vision to hyperconnect the world – a world powered by a decentralised network that allows independent blockchains to transact fluidly with each other. To create this massive network of blockchains, ICON guarantees independence of governance to each blockchain and constructs mutual connections only when and as they are required.

    ICON's ambition hinges on its ability to bring real world communities/entities onto a shared ledger and extend organic connections between them. "As the number of communities connected through the ICON Network increases, the number of transactions increases exponentially, resulting in maximum utility of the network." (Whitepaper)

    Public, consortium and private blockchains are the three types of blockchains that make up the current landscape and entail varying degrees of private control required by the participating entities such as government bodies and financial institutions. ICON Republic is a protocol that facilitates the individual requirements of different blockchains whilst allowing them to coexist and inter-operate. Similar to how the internet connected computers and local area networks, ICON becomes the underlying infrastructure for the internet of blockchains.

    Network of Networks

    In its endeavour to hyperconnect the world, ICON is forging a connectivity infrastructure not bound by finite limitations or the inherent drawbacks of a centralised system. Bridging the gap between existing societal structures and the trustless function offered by blockchain technology, ICON provides a tether between nuclear communities creating a network of networks effect.

    To fully convey the scope and breadth of the network of networks system, we have deconstructed its components, the connections between them and how they operate within the ecosystem.

    Communities form the most fundamental layer of the ecosystem. A community within the ICON Network is comparable to a planet. The self-sustaining ecosystem of a planet enables inhabitants with complimentary needs to thrive and coexist within its boundaries. Similarly, the blockchain of a community enables nodes with complimentary characteristics and needs to operate within the bounds of the community ledger. For example, a healthcare community may enable the relevant participants such as hospitals, pharmaceuticals and medical research institutions to benefit from the symbiotic relations established by the shared ledger. When a community's needs extend beyond its boundaries, it is able to connect to a larger network through the Nexus.

    The Nexus of the ICON Network is comparable to a Sun at the center of a Solar system. Similar to how the gravity of the Sun keeps the planets orbiting around it, the Nexus blockchain acts as the core technology that draws multiple communities into coexistence. Similar to how a galaxy comprises of multiple Solar systems the ICON Republic is made up of multiple networks, whereby ICON's Nexus blockchain is able to connect to networks external to itself. This interoperability of networks is the fundamental reason for the formation of the Blockchain Interoperability Alliance (BIA) presently comprising of ICON, Aion and Wanchain.

    ICON's underlying infrastructure: loopchain

    loopchain, is the proprietary blockchain technology used to build the ICON infrastructure. It is a high-performance blockchain with Smart Contract features that can be customized according to the needs of individual communities; so that they may operate independently and as part of a larger blockchain ecosystem. While loopchain is the native blockchain of the ICON Network, participating blockchain entities have the option to alternatively elect their own governance and consensus mechanisms. This approach is akin to modular architecture, where parts can be taken out, swapped or added; giving great flexibility to those joining the network whilst allowing the inter-chain functionalities to take full advantage of a fully connected ecosystem.

    Let's fight scammers together

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 05:42 PM PST

    I see a LOT of scamming happening in the crypto sphere. A lot of people are losing money and the whole crypto ecosystem is suffering because of this. For instance, you find Facebook groups with over 20K members that ONLY have scam content: MLMs, private buy bitcoins, and so on. Isn't time for us to fight back!? Considering all the knowledge, time and money we can gather, we can help shut down (or at least limit) such horrible schemes.

    [TETHER] - Can anyone help me understand these charts?

    Posted: 27 Jan 2018 08:44 PM PST

    So today, at 01:00 UTC, 600,000,000 tokens were printed as evidenced here at CMC:

    https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/#charts

    When you look at the omniexplorer, this issuance is reflected in the total coin count: http://omniexplorer.info/lookupsp.aspx?sp=31

    But when you look at the grants: http://omniexplorer.info/default.aspx?filter=grant

    This new printing is not reflected. Can anyone help me make sense of what is going on? I thought the new issuance of these tokens would be in omniexplorer?

    EDIT: To just be more clear, in the third link, the total tokens is at 2250000000 TOKENS, just like the total market cap ~ on CMC, in the first link.

    Also, the last grant date is dated 1/23/2017.
