Posted: 30 Aug 2018 04:12 PM PDT I literally skimmed through coinmarketcap couple of days ago and this funny-sounding name popped up - TaTaTu. I thought it was a glitch on CMC. Then upon further research, I found out they allegedly raised 500+ million for some kind of a social entertainment platform. If this is true, that means there is still money in ICOs to milk out. Anyone here actively investing in ICOs this year? Anything interesting in Q4? [link] [comments] | ||

QuarkChain confirmed as a BIG FAT SCAM Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:34 AM PDT QuarkChain have updated their token release schedule and instead of releasing tokens on the 4th of September 2018, will instead delay the token release to "Early June 2019"...or offer a refund to those who do not agree with the updated schedule. Full details below - Release 30% tokens after 9 months (Early June 2019), 30% token after 12 months (Early Sep. 2019), 20% token after 15 months (Early Dec. 2019) -- reward 5% of the unreleased tokens as bonus; E.g., if a purchaser bought total 10000QKC and supports the schedule, we will offer 10000 * 80% * 5% = 400QKC as bonus. Refund: We understand that you may not support the new schedule, and we could offer a refund (ETHs) based on our token sale agreement. If you choose Option 2) Refund, please reply ALL to this email by 11pm September 2nd, 2018 PDT. Otherwise, your support is appreciated, and we will proceed with option 1. The new token release plan applies to all undistributed parts of private sale purchasers, team, and foundation. Sorry for this short notice. Please feel free to reach us directly if you need any additional information or have any comments/suggestions. Again, thanks for your support. We hope to have your company for this long journey and make QuarkChain even better in the future! Best Regards, QuarkChain Foundation UPDATE: Excerpt from the QuarkChain SAFT. They're charging up to 15% fee on any refunds... Has been reported that this refund fee ONLY applies to a refund on the PRE ICO. It does not apply once the ICO has been completed and tokens have been distributed. [link] [comments] | ||

Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee Posted: 31 Aug 2018 01:26 AM PDT This post is not directly related to cryptocurrency at all and the documentary i'm about to list doesn't even mention cryptocurrency. But it's a documentary on the life of John McAfee, who is an infamous face in the cryptocurrency space I know most people see JM as a laughable figure who shills anything for a buck or two and he mostly gets ignored and sniggered at. This was my opinion of him; a harmless old man who trying to cash in on anything he can without any shame for the lies he tells. My opinion changed, for the worst, once i'd seen this documentary. It reveals a side of JM that you may not be aware of. I'm in the UK and he rarely hits the news headlines, ever. I now see him as a horrible horrible person and somebody I would never like the misfortune of meeting face-to-face in my life The documentary may be misinformation and/or edited to suit the narrative of the writer and I accept that but you see his decision making shown in the documentary echo how he reacts still on Twitter Said documentary - https://www.netflix.com/title/80148180 [link] [comments] | ||

Is an invite-only cryptocurrency a good or a bad idea? Posted: 30 Aug 2018 09:03 PM PDT A friend of mine recently invited me to an invite-only cryptocurrency called Merit. My initial reaction was lukewarm, at best. First, he was kind of pitching it to me, which immediately makes me dislike it. Second, I didn't really understand why you'd make something invite-only that should be focused on getting lots of users. The more I think about it, and argue with him, the more I'm coming back to a neutral (or maybe positive) place. The arguments in-favor of being invite-only are things like having a safer/stronger community and having less scamming BS happening. In Merit's case, the other interesting thing is that the invite-only dynamic creates a new form of mining (Proof-of-Growth). Counter-intuitively, their community and usage seems to be growing pretty fast. The arguments against include adding a layer of complexity to something that is already hard for most people to understand. Also, managing the dynamics of "invite tokens" seems like a challenge -- too few, and people can't share; too many, and they lose their value. Do you think an invite-only crypto can work? If so, why? If not, why not? Any other invite-only cryptos out there? [link] [comments] |
