    Beginner Friendly Guide to Technical Analysis With Cryptocurrency

    Posted: 01 May 2018 05:36 PM PDT

    Which are your top 5 coins out of the top100? An analysis.

    Posted: 01 May 2018 12:22 AM PDT

    I am putting together my investment portfolio for 2018 and made a complete summary of the current Top 100. Interestingly, I noticed that all coins can be categorized into 12 markets. Which markets do you think will play the biggest role in the coming year?

    Here is a complete overview of all coins in an excel sheet including name, a full description, market, TPS, risk profile, time since launch (negative numbers mean that they are launching that many months in the future) and market cap. You can also sort by all of these fields of course. Coins written in bold are the strongest contenders within their market either due to having the best technology or having a small market cap and still excellent technology and potential. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s8PHcNvvjuy848q18py_CGcu8elRGQAUIf86EYh4QZo/edit#gid=0

    The 12 markets are

    1. Currency 13 coins
    2. Platform 25 coins
    3. Ecosystem 7 coins
    4. Privacy 11 coins
    5. Currency Exchange Tool 8 coins
    6. Gaming & Gambling 5 coins
    7. Misc 15 coins
    8. Social Network 4 coins
    9. Fee Token 3 coins
    10. Decentralized Data Storage 4 coins
    11. Cloud Computing 3 coins
    12. Stable Coin 2 coins

    Foreword

    Before we look at the individual markets, we need to take a look of the overall market and its biggest issue scalability first:

    Cryptocurrencies aim to be a decentralized currency that can be used worldwide. Its goal is to replace dollar, Euro, Yen, all FIAT currencies globally. The coin that will achieve that will be worth several trillion dollars.

    Bitcoin can only process 7 transactions per second (TPS). In order to replace all FIAT, it would need to perform at at least VISA levels, which usually processes around 3,000 TPS, up to 25,000 TPS during peak times and a maximum of 64,000 TPS. That means that this cryptocurrency would need to be able to perform at least several thousand TPS. However, a ground breaking technology should not look at current technology to set a goal for its use, i.e. estimating the number of emails sent in 1990 based on the number of faxes sent wasn't a good estimate.

    For that reason, 10,000 TPS is the absolute baseline for a cryptocurrency that wants to replace FIAT. This brings me to IOTA, which wants to connect all 80 billion IoT devices that are expected to exist by 2025, which constantly communicate with each other, creating 80 billion or more transactions per second. This is the benchmark that cryptocurrencies should be aiming for. Currently, 8 billion devices are connected to the Internet.

    With its Lightning network recently launched, Bitcoin is realistically looking at 50,000 possible TPS soon. Other notable cryptocurrencies besides IOTA and Bitcoin are Nano with 7,000 TPS already tested, Dash with several billion TPS possible with Masternodes, Neo, LISK and RHOC with 100,000 TPS by 2020, Ripple with 50,000 TPS, Ethereum with 10,000 TPS with Sharding.

    However, it needs to be said that scalability usually goes at the cost of decentralization and security. So, it needs to be seen, which of these technologies can prove themselves decentralized while maintaining high TPS.

    Without further ado, here are the coins of the first market.

    Market 1 - Currency:

    1. Bitcoin
    2. Ripple
    3. Bitcoin Cash
    4. Litecoin
    5. IOTA
    6. Dash
    7. Nano
    8. Decred
    9. Bitcoin Atom
    10. Dogecoin
    11. Bitcoin Gold
    12. Digibyte
    13. Bitcoin Diamond

    Market 2 - Platform

    Most of the cryptos here have smart contracts and allow dapps (Decentralized apps) to be build on their platform and to use their token as an exchange of value between dapp services.

    1. Ethereum
    2. EOS
    3. Cardano
    4. VeChain
    5. Neo
    6. Aeternity
    7. Stellar
    8. Ethereum classic
    9. Ziliqa
    10. QTUM
    11. Icon
    12. LISK
    13. Rchain
    14. ARDR
    15. Ark
    16. Ontology
    17. Bytom
    18. Nxt
    19. Stratis
    20. Status
    21. Neblio
    22. NEM
    23. Bancor
    24. Dragonchain
    25. Skycoin

    Market 3 - Ecosystem

    The 3rd market with 11 coins is comprised of ecosystem coins, which aim to strengthen the ease of use within the crypto space through decentralized exchanges, open standards for apps and more

    1. Nebulas
    2. Waves
    3. Salt
    4. CHAINLINK
    5. WTC
    6. Ethos
    7. Aion

    Market 4 - Privacy

    The 4th market are privacy coins. As you might know, Bitcoin is not anonymous. If the IRS or any other party asks an exchange who is the identity behind a specific Bitcoin address, they know who you are and can track back almost all of the Bitcoin transactions you have ever made and all your account balances. Privacy coins aim to prevent exactly that through address fungability, which changes addresses constantly, IP obfuscation and more. There are 2 types of privacy coins, one with completely privacy and one with optional privacy. Optional Privacy coins like Dash and Nav have the advantage of more user friendliness over completely privacy coins such as Monero and Enigma. However, the question is if full privacy coins will be hindered in growth through government regulations and optional privacy coins will become more successful through ease of use and no regulatory hindrance.

    1. Monero
    2. Zcash
    3. Verge
    4. Bytecoin
    5. Bitcoin Private
    6. Komodo
    7. PIVX
    8. Zcoin
    9. Enigma
    10. Navcoin
    11. Tenx

    Market 5 - Currency Exchange Tool

    Due to the sheer number of different cryptocurrencies, exchanging one currency for the other it still cumbersome. Further, merchants don't want to deal with overcluttered options of accepting cryptocurrencies. This is where exchange tool like Req come in, which allow easy and simple exchange of currencies.

    1. Cryptonex
    2. QASH
    3. Kyber
    4. Achain
    5. Req
    6. Bitshares.
    7. Loopring
    8. ZRX

    Market 6 - Gaming

    With an industry size of $108B worldwide, Gaming is one of the largest markets in the world. For sure, cryptocurrencies will want to have a share of that pie.

    1. Storm
    2. Fun
    3. Electroneum
    4. Wax

    Market 7 - Misc

    There are various markets being tapped right now. They are all summed up under misc.

    1. OMG
    2. Power ledger
    3. Populous
    4. Monacoin
    5. Revain
    6. Augur
    7. Substratum
    8. Veritaseum
    9. TRON
    10. Syscoin
    11. Hshare
    12. BAT
    13. Dent
    14. Ncash
    15. Factom

    Market 8 - Social network

    Web 2.0 is still going strong and Web 3.0 is not going to ignore it. There are several gaming tokens already out there and a few with decent traction already, such as Steem, which is Reddit with voting through money is a very interesting one.

    1. Mithril
    2. Steem
    3. Rdd
    4. Kin

    Market 9 - Fee token

    Popular exchanges realized that they can make a few billion dollars more by launching their own token. Owning these tokens gives you a reduction of trading fees. Very handy and BNB (Binance Coin) has been one of the most resilient tokens, which have withstood most market drops over the last weeks and was among the very few coins that could show growth.

    1. BNB
    2. Gas
    3. Kucoin

    Market 10 - Decentralized Data Storage

    Currently, data storage happens with large companies or data centers that are prone to failure or losing data. Decentralized data storage makes loss of data almost impossible by distributing your files to numerous clients that hold tiny pieces of your data. Remember Torrents? Torrents use a peer-to-peer network. It is similar to that. Many users maintain copies of the same file, when someone wants a copy of that file, they send a request to the peer-to-peer network., users who have the file, known as seeds, send fragments of the file to the requester., he requester receives many fragments from many different seeds, and the torrent software recompiles these fragments to form the original file.

    1. Gbyte
    2. Siacoin
    3. Maidsafecoin
    4. Storj

    Market 11 - Cloud computing

    Obviously, renting computing power, one of the biggest emerging markets as of recent years, e.g. AWS and Digital Ocean, is also a service, which can be bought and managed via the blockchain.

    1. Golem
    2. Elf

    Market 12 - Stablecoin

    Last but not least, there are 3 stablecoins that have established themselves within the market. A stable coin is a coin that wants to be independent of the volatility of the crypto markets. This has worked out pretty well for Maker and DGD, accomplished through a carefully diversified currency fund and backing of each token with 1g of real gold respectively. DO NOT CONFUSE DGD AND MAKER with their STABLE COINS DGX and DAI. DGD and MAKER are volatile, because they are the companies of DGX and DAI. DGX and DAI are the stable coins.

    1. DGD
    2. Maker
    3. USDT

    EDIT: Added a risk factor from 0 to 10. The baseline is 2 for any crypto. Significant scandals, mishaps, shady practices, questionable technology, increase the risk factor. Not having a product yet automatically means a risk factor of 6. Strong adoption and thus strong scrutiny or positive community lower the risk factor.

    EDIT2: Added a subjective potential factor from 0 to 10, where its overall potential and a small or big market cap is factored in. Bitcoin with lots of potential only gets a 9, because of its massive market cap, because if Bitcoin goes 10x, smaller coins go 100x, PIVX gets a 10 for being as good as Monero while carrying a 10x smaller market cap, which would make PIVX go 100x if Monero goes 10x.

    $NIX the cross-chain platform that will make BTC and all ALT's transactions private

    Posted: 01 May 2018 09:13 AM PDT

    A real competitor to Wanchain has emerged. NIX, it will be launching to mainnet in a month. No ICO and sick team. Check it out:

    Pursuing the objective of becoming the first DEX Manager in the market, NIX will initially incorporate Blocknet, a peer-to-peer protocol between nodes on different blockchains. Additionally, the team consists of several new experienced developers and a lead cryptographer who is a doctoral researcher in the cryptography field.

    NIX will create its own privacy protocol: The Ghost Protocol, a custom code which involves the Zerocoin Protocol plus the utilization of Stealth Addresses in order to make transactions untraceable with no trusted parties and with a higher level of anonymity, Bulletproofs to conceal transaction value and shrink the size of the cryptographic proof, the integration of a Lightning Network to allow fast blockchain payments, and the creation of an Atomic Swaps Architecture with the intention of performing decentralized operations from a node on any blockchain to another.

    With the implementation of NIX, every single supported coin will have the possibility of being traded privately in a prompt, secure and decentralized manner, as the process consists of swapping coin A for NIX, progressively applying the Ghost Protocol, having as a result NIX with no previous transaction history and finally swapping NIX for coin B. Simple, private, fast.

    The Moment Kanye Wanted to Use Bitcoin.

    Posted: 01 May 2018 03:54 PM PDT

    Want to stop people from thinking crypto is a fad or a scam? Don't spread unsubstantiated bs.

    Posted: 01 May 2018 04:11 PM PDT

    New technology is considered in a couple ways. The way the general public views them is how people invested in it treat it, talk about it, and react to it.

    Spreading unsubstantiated, unsourced boogyman claims, especially via captions, with absolutely no sources or reference, only makes the community and the technology by extension, appear idiotic and worthless. You can claim it's a stupid way to approach stuff, but you need to get past your bias and how you view things, and consider what someone who knows nothing about crypto is going to think when they dive in to learn more.

    Claim someone makes a wild claim about crypto? Source it.

    Claim a government rep said they are gonna do X with crypto? Source it.

    Not doing so makes the community, the sub, and the people in it, unreliable.

    ChronoBank Partners with ASX Listed Company Invigor on Blockchain Loyalty Token

    Posted: 01 May 2018 05:17 PM PDT

    ChronoBank will partner with the ASX listed company to release 'Infinity' points that will be used to reward consumers and track their purchasing journey.

    As ChronoBank continues to iterate its powerful ChronoMint token management software and Labour-hire marketplace, the company is pleased to announce that it has sealed a joint venture partnership with a major data intelligence business. Invigor will use ChronoBank's unique infrastructure to host their Infinity reward token, which will be earned from purchases and services and that will trade on exchanges for loyalty points used in many different retail and service environments.

    "This is an ideal use case for our software. One of the purposes of the token creation functionality we've built into ChronoMint is precisely to enable the launch of loyalty currency tokens. The idea of issuing these against services provided on LaborX as part of an engagement strategy, and trading them on TimeX for other loyalty tokens and cryptocurrencies, is exactly the kind of approach we always intended. We're very pleased to see such an initiative driven forwards by Invigor and look forward to their success in this growing sector," — Sergei Sergienko, CEO at Chronobank.

    Fund Giveth and WIN! Seedom’s 1st Mainnet Fundraiser Game LIVE

    Posted: 01 May 2018 09:15 AM PDT

    Decentralization and cryptocurrencies will always be under attack by the centralized powers that be. It is up to all of us to fight for the decentralized future we deserve. We can't HODL forever and hope this ecosystem evolves in a way that will benefit us all. We need an influx of real Dapps and fewer ICOs to empower this vision.

    Seedom is a fundraising project for altruistic causes that have a foot in a decentralized future while rewarding a single contributor for their support. It takes the efficiency, security, and transparency of the traditional single-room raffle and re-invents it with trustlessness and secure crowd-sourced random selection into an entirely new type of fundraiser that scales to the entire world.

    It will rotate twice a month between charitable organizations that continue the fight for decentralization. Decentralization can take many forms, but to us, it refers to bringing power to as many people as possible. We have been working with Giveth, a group that has this goal in mind, and they are now our first ever fundraiser beneficiary!

    Giveth is re-engineering charitable giving, by creating an entirely free, open-source platform, built on the Ethereum Blockchain. Their system cuts out bureaucracy and enables nonprofits to create a high level of transparency and accountability towards Givers. Through the Giveth DApp (Donation Application) you will be able to see how the project is laid out and how much money is required for each part. By reducing costs and decentralizing the giving process, they are putting the power back into the hands of the people.

    Help us fight for decentralization! Seedom is live right now on the Ethereum Mainnet. All of our code is open source, and our team is not anonymous. Buy a few entries, support a great cause, and help us create a real Ethereum-based platform for routine giving.

    What do you think about this new Exchange?

    Posted: 01 May 2018 02:07 PM PDT

    There are 100+ exchanges existing but there is a new one that seems very promising. What do you think about it? Both positive and negative opinions would be appreciated.

    Up to this moment, none of the exchanges is universal. AbacasXchange will try to change that. It promises to be the first universal exchange - meaning that you trade any asset (Cryptos, Stocks, Commodities, etc.) on one platform. For example, trading AAPL stock for BTC in 1 transaction.

    The team looks very solid as well. Together they have 100+ years experience in the financial industry. Each founder has his own successful company in the financial industry and has been for 20+ years in the game.

    Instead of annoying you with long descriptions, here is the website: https://token.abacasexchange.com/

    Does the ABCS token have long-term potential?
