    Moon week (Round 16) - Please review the snapshot and vote on governance polls

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:43 AM PDT

    Hello everyone and welcome to your second official Moon Week!

    Moon Week began yesterday with the snapshot post by the admins, which can be found here. Check it out to see how many moons you'll be getting next Wednesday at the end of Moon Week.

    This Moon Week sticky will remain pinned to the top of the subreddit until next Wednesday to give exposure to our governance polls for this month. Please review the polls below in their entirety, participate in discussions, and vote! You get a 5% moon bonus for voting!

    Please note, you can't change you vote after it has been cast so be sure to do sufficient reading and consideration first

    Harassment of other users is strictly forbidden. Please keep all discussions about the polls and ideas, not the author.

    Please note that all governance polls need to be posted as a pre-proposal in r/CryptoCurrencyMeta for community feedback and mod approval. You can do this at any time during the month and if you wait until just before the next moon week it is unlikely we will be able to approve it in time.

    For more information about moons, please see our wiki page here. It is an ongoing effort to document what Moons are and how they work. If there is anything that isn't included or sufficiently clear, please ask so we can answer you and improve the wiki page

    Never forget

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 03:50 PM PDT

    Last year I almost bought iPhone 11 Pro Max. Instead I bought Note 10 Lite and invested $700 in crypto. Now I can buy 3 Iphone 12's lmao don't buy stupid shit.

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 09:25 PM PDT

    Pretty much the title. iPhone 7 broke, which actually lasted me a long time and was a good phone. Something with the charging port fucked up and decided it was time to upgrade. Looked an at iPhone 11 but it was so god damn much money. So I decided to try Samsung out and bought one of the cheaper models. This phone has actually been amazing, and only for like $300. I took the rest of the money and invested in crypto. Now I can buy 3 iPhone 12's if I wanted to.

    Don't buy stupid shit. Just buy what you need and invest the rest.

    Too the moon boys.

    White House comes out in support of Warner-Portman-Sinema crypto amendment, and against the Toomey-Wyden-Lummis plan. The former is disastrous for crypto and specifically against Proof of Stake

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:16 PM PDT

    The White House has signalled that it will support the last minute amendment by Warner, Portman, Sinema over the plan proposed by Toomey Wyden Lummis

    The former plan is even more disastrous than the original text without amendment

    It heavily regulates crypto tech and stifles innovation, industry, and jobs in the US. In fact it makes out an node reporting exception just for proof of work chains, excluding proof of stake.

    While the Wyden Lummis plan promotes innovation and technology and financial freedom and human rights. But the White House is over ruling this

    This is a complete joke. 70 and 80 year old Dinosaurs who have no idea about crypto are squashing the entire industry for laughs and gags while being sponsored by banks.

    Edit: The Warner Portman Amendment against Proof of Stake even harms Lightning Network, imposing harsh reporting requirements. BTC Maxis were lobbying hard against Proof of stake and begging their legislators to take steps against PoS chains. The new classification does exactly that but sticks a dagger into LN as well. A tale of trying to harm others coming back to stab you in the back.. within 24 Hours! BTC Maxis are really THIS dumb. They have zero vision to see past their limited point of views, and are actively taking steps to damage the entire space, oblivious to the fact that the flame they fan will land on their own homes

    White House and Congress fighting over Proof of Work vs Proof of Stake. While they are living example of Proof of Mistake

    Edit 2 :

    Many crypto law experts are claiming they did not see the 2nd Amendment coming in at all, and it seems to have shocked them. Its baffling who is behind this last minute distiction between proof of work vs proof of stake, and why such text is being inserted into an Infrastructure Bill. Easy to see imo...who wins from doing this..? Both Warner & Portman are, as expected, funded by big banks and investment institutions. Portman is funded by BlackRock, American Financial Group, other archaic institutions that derive great benefit from over regulating DeFi/Proof of stake networks. Warner is funded by Goldman Sachs. By making DeFi hard to access for end users, these institutions get to keep their close sources legacy financial system that oppresses its participants and funnels wealth to those at the top.

    Sen. Portman is even retiring next month. His absolute last act as a Senator is to attempt to kill innovation in finance, kill individual freedom , and instead enslave people to behemoth corporations. These are the dinosaurs that the country deserves? Why are these people who have zero stake in tomorrow writing laws that will harm millions of tomorrow's kids and prevent them from accessing an open and inclusive financial system?

    If you're from the US, it's time to save crypto from the desastrous infrastructure bill amendment

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 06:19 PM PDT

    A new amendment was introduced last minute that would make it essentially illegal to participate in PoS networks, or running a Lightning Network node.

    Ask your senators to vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.

    I said something along these lines when I called:

    I'm calling today to ask that Senator [Name] vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.

    The Warner-Portman amendment would ensnare regular citizens of [state] in a regulatory hell of being forced to register as brokers rather than just as investors. This would be functionally impossible to do and would deprive [state citizens] of legitimate investment opportunities. The language will not bring in any extra tax revenue…the only effect it will have will be to drive innovation and profits in the most innovative area of finance overseas, depriving citizens of [your state] of jobs and punishing them for making regular investments.

    Please vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to the infrastructure bill, and vote NO on the Warner-Portman amendment.

    Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says proposed crypto tax rules 'make no sense' and will push innovation out of the US

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 09:05 PM PDT

    The founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson, has been staking $1 Billion in ADA, making $40,000,000 in passive income per year. This is the dream boys.

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 02:15 AM PDT

    I just watched the Coin Bureau video about ADA. This dude Charles Hoskinson is staking AT LEAST $1,000,000,000 in ADA right now... which is making him $40,000,000 per year in passive income. When I heard those numbers like holy fucking shit that's insane. Congrats to this guy for his project doing so well!

    It's mind blowing how 15 years ago none of this was even thought out and now people are making millions just from staking, and we're still in the beginning.

    The future is only up!

    Reduce the cost of Reddit Moons required to purchase Special Membership

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 12:43 AM PDT

    As the title says, it requires 1000 Moons to purchase Special Member which is 310$ worth of real-world money. Moons don't actually hold value yet, as it's still in the testing face, but xMooons do, and they are currently priced at .31 Cents per moon.

    So I propose we reduce the cost of moons required every month as per the pricing of xMoons. There will be a fixed price set by the mods which will then be used to evaluate how much moon is required for the month.

    It may also be easier to implement the pricing of actual moons into this system once the Main Net launch has happened. So it's a win win situation.

    Charles Hoskinson hits the nail on the head speaking about the infrastructure bill amendment regarding crypto.

    Here's a link to the stream he just did speaking on the subject:

    youtube.com/watch?v=JEF8dwF36qY&ab_channel=CharlesHoskinson

    If you love crypto and don't want to see innovation stifled and exported to more regulatory-friendly countries, please contact your representative. This affects everyone and is particularly detrimental to proof-of-stake protocols like Cardano and eventually Ethereum.

    Below are some resources I've borrowed from another post urging people to contact their representatives.

    Here's a script you can use, but if you want to use your own language that would be encouraged:

    "Hi, I'm calling to ask that you support Senator Wyden, Toomey, and Lummis's amendment to the cryptocurrency provision of the infrastructure bill (H.R. 3684) . This amendment will ensure that the provision does not dramatically expand financial surveillance, harm innovation, or undermine human rights. Policies that impact basic freedom and the future of the Internet should be debated carefully and should never be attached to must-pass bills. Thank you."

    Please vote YES on Wyden-Lummis-Toomey"

    I've been using a trading bot that buys coins based on what reddit thinks about them for over a month now, here are the results

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 03:00 AM PDT

    I've been using a trading bot that buys coins based on what reddit thinks about them for over a month now, here are the results

    I coded a crypto trading bot that buys cryptocurrency based on how reddit feels about that particular coin, with a specific criteria:

    • The coin needs to be in top 40 by marketcap
    • No Stablecoins

    With that in mind, I created a bot that looks at reddit posts from various different subreddits, looks for keywords matching any of the top 40 coins by mcap, and tries to analyse if the title or the description of the post is positive. The only condition here is that the post needs to be in top 10 hot in order for it to be taken into account.

    With that in mind, here are the results:

    The bot bought the following coins: BTC ETH ALGO XLM ADA SOL LINK DOGE MATIC XTZ LTC VET DAI CAKE DOT EOS AAVE XMR MKR ATOM.

    Apart from a couple, there are all coins that I would invest into myself, so it appears that the reddit hivemind is wiser than I thought!

    Here's a chart for daily % changes for each coin:

    https://preview.redd.it/p9ig600lmpf71.png?width=1646&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac957a16dbc3678b3b33bc0296fee77c17ae27e2

    And here's a scatter plot for the same:

    https://preview.redd.it/109iwxj3mpf71.png?width=1608&format=png&auto=webp&s=22be79fc48fcf96dfdd3d32f41e55787a279ba3c

    1 month in, and bought before the most recent dip as you can see in the charts and I am on an average of 11% profit.

    Can you imagine that? I made 11% profit by using a bot that buys based on what we discuss here every day! If anything, this means that the quality of coins talked about in this subreddit decent enough for an algorithm to pick that up and make profitable investments with it, and for that I want to say thank you!

    I forgot to mention that the tool can be used in test or live mode so if you're keen to figure out how it works here's a guide I wrote on it:

    I just reached [x coins] and I couldn't be happier.

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 04:53 PM PDT

    I've been in crypto for [x time] now, mostly holding [x crypto] and not much [other crypto]. I know that this isn't a huge achievement compared to everyone else on this subreddit, but my [low income/ illness/lack of time] has made it quite hard for me. However, finally after [x time] I was able to reach [x goal].

    My friends or familily don't understand crypto, so I just wanted to share this with you guys because I'm super proud of myself after reaching [x goal], but most people I know wouldn't really care.I think everyone can reach their [x goal] by holding and DCA'ing for [x time], after doing their own research. Moons, Incesting and Vitalik good, binance and Elon bad, not your keys not your coins, Bitcoin 100K till the end of the year, ETH flippening is coming.

    Thank you for reading

    We are early !

    Ethereum Is Burning $10,000 Every Minute After EIP-1559 Upgrade

    Reduce the karma value by 50% for the daily discussion threads

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 09:14 AM PDT

    I have a few issues about daily discussion threads. I'll state those issues, the decision is up to you.

    1. They have huge effect on distributions: Daily threads receive tens of thousands comments in a single day and approximately 750.000 comments in a month. According to my calculations (*not certain) they receive between 1/3 - 1/2 moons of the total distribution. Numbers are based on my calculation. They can be wrong or right and they'll be change based on the activity.
    2. Issue: Upvote parties. Upvote parties occur so often in the daily threads. Moderators do their best but it's almost impossible to moderate a thread that receives 25-35k comments in a day. Most of those upvote parties remain unreported, even if they get reported the report result comes a little bit late due to volume of the sub, so even if they comment gets removed, their upvotes still stay with them.
    3. Spam problem: This thread gets so much spam (shitcoin shills - ads - karma farming etc.). Again, most of those spams remain unreported and again, mods doing their best but it's almost impossible to moderate a thread that receives 25-35k comments in a single day. For reference, if the daily was its own subreddit, it would be in the top 5 subreddits for comments per day.
    4. Off-topic posting: Off-topic posting is against the daily thread rules but still people keep commenting off-topic. This is also impossible to moderate due to high volume of comments.
    5. Moon farmers: There are a lot of them. Some of them posts hundreds of comments in a day and some of them receive hundreds of karma in a single day from daily threads. This is a big problem. Moon farmers especially choose daily discussion threads because the comment karma gets 2x (double) karma. You can see them everyday in those threads with their hundreds of comments. Every. Single. Day.

    My solution: Reduce the karma by 50% for the daily threads. This will reduce the incentives for moon farmers and the volume of comments, so moderators can moderate more effective. This also will help balance the moons ratio. Thanks.

    I bragging to my friends about my crypto in 2016 and now they are asking me for money. Don't make this mistake.

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:02 PM PDT

    In 2016 I turned like $500 into $4,000 and was bragging to my friends about it. The entire time I was like "Look at this guys look at this!" and trying to get them to get into it. They gave me usual shit about "it's a scam dude try to cash out" "it's going to crash" "yeah that sounds like bs" "Yeah I used that to buy drugs in 2014 it's illegal"...

    Over the years it's come up a few times and I told them I've kept investing into it because this could be the future of finance.

    Now in 2021 these people think I'm rich as fuck. To be fair, compared to someone who owes $20k on a car and $40k in student debt, I am rich as fuck. Keep in mind, these are not my close friends, just friend that are fun to hang out with every couple weeks. They are asking to borrow money because they "know I have it" and they really really need it right now.

    It's like man I have enough money to cover my own emergency, I don't have new house money and even if I did I'm suppose to give it to you just because...? Now I'm the asshole because everyone thinks they know how much money I have and I won't give any to them. Jesus Christ people are fucking stupid.

    Don't tell anyone about how much you invest in crypto. Probably good to just not talk about it at all with certain people.

    Proposal for governance: Increase karma by 25% for text posts

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    This proposal is to increase the karma multiplier for text posts, eligible towards moons, by an additional 25% for text posts, in other words the posts created in the "text" tab, which require people to type up their own original posts with a word count minimum.

    Currently comments are doubled, and comedy posts count for only 10%. The rest has no multiplier.

    This will mean that text posts that people type up will be worth 25% more than polls or link to articles.

    Text posts will still be bound by the 1K limit. The 25% will not increase that limit.

    This may also reduce the gap between text posts and daily comments, without needing the proposal that reduces daily posts by 50%.

    I'm not going to get into the details of pros and cons, or give you a full sales pitch, I'll leave that to discussion below in the comments. Feel free to discuss it, and even propose better alternatives if you don't like this proposal. If you don't like it, I'll gladly hear your views, and encourage you to vote against it if you find it problematic.

    Why are there so many comments and so little upvotes?

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:14 PM PDT

    There are SO MANY comments. This is just my observation. But it feels like every posts gets more comments than in other subreddits. But the upvotes never follow. This could mean one of two things: 1) people are stingy. They realize if they upvote others, they get less moons for their upvotes. 2) More people like to comment and discuss crypto? Comments could get more upvotes than posts do.

    Tldr; every time I post I feel like a meat loaf dangled into a pool of piranhas because of all the comments on posts here.

    Crypto feels like a 21st-century gold rush to the uneducated

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 04:14 PM PDT

    Everybody trying to find the right land (crypto) to start to mine (DCA, miners, staking) on. Some people FOMO trying to get to the right land, only to find no gold at all. Sometimes they're told about other people getting gold somewhere, and when they get there, it is all gone. Sometimes people wind up on gold without even knowing it just by staying put for a long time, plugging away in the same space.

    Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says proposed crypto tax rules 'make no sense' and will push innovation out of the US

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 01:02 PM PDT

    Sorry if people keep posting about this but please please please contact your senator regarding the new infrastructure amendments

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 02:38 AM PDT

    It took me 3 minutes to contact my local senator and voice my support for the pro-innovation stance of the amendment. Definitely 3 minutes I am not going to regret spending.

    The current infrastructure amendment AFFECTS each and everyone of us.

    The current amendment categorizes validators of stake pools as "brokers" and requires them with comply with impossible-to-implement KYC procedures. VERY VERY VERY IGNORANT.

    This is not only limited to POS systems of the present but will also affect POW systems in the future if such an amendment is allowed to pass with no opposition. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    This is not about taxes. This is about uninformed/malicious law makers trying to regulate the markets in AN EXTREMELY ignorant manner. They are purely targeting the developers and validators.

    This is a very anti-innovation move with absolutely no upside.

    Use this link

    to find the contact details of your local representatives and support the " Wyden, Toomey, and Lummis stance" which supports better phrasing of the amendment and recognizes the difference between brokers and developers/validators.

    Example of how the call should go:

    "Hi, I'm calling to ask that you support Senator Wyden, Toomey, and Lummis's amendment to the cryptocurrency provision of the infrastructure bill (H.R. 3684) . This amendment will ensure that the provision does not dramatically expand financial surveillance, harm innovation, or undermine human rights. Policies that impact basic freedom and the future of the Internet should be debated carefully and should never be attached to must-pass bills. Thank you."

    Fuckin' boomers. I'm not kidding. They're not investing as much as us.
    Anecdotally, but I told my father to invest in BTC and he told me, verbatim:

    "Bitcorn... I don't trust that. A few years ago there was a polemic with that where everybody was in it and it lead to nothing... I think it was called something go... "

    I'm not joking. My father thought Pokemon Go was something related to cryptocurrency.

    MODS: Can We Please Pin Known Active Scam Smart Contracts & Dusting Attacks To The Top of The Sub ?

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:51 PM PDT

    There are three huge airdrop scams on BSC right now, which i know many of us are aware of, but each day brings multiple new posts of traders who lost the entire contents of their wallet — so this information isn't getting around quick enough.

    Minereum BSC

    • 0xd22202d23fe7de9e3dbe11a2a88f42f4cb9507cf
    • MNEB
    • 10,989,857 addresses

    VeloChain.io

    • 0x17d1285bC68D9085f8e4b86Fc565E452B29dC48F
    • VELO
    • 5,629,986 addresses

    TheVera.io

    • 0x0df62d2cd80591798721ddc93001afe868c367ff
    • VERA
    • 343,999 addresses

    These tokens appear to be worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and are littered all over the blockchain.

    simply interacting these smart contracts gives the devs approval to remove any assets from your wallet.

    this is not subjective, or disputable. these are very much scams.

    and there are likely many more to come. if we keep letting them succeed, theyll keep scamming. they only stop when there's no money to be made.

    can we please have information like this impossible to overlook?

    let's have each others backs.

    and fuck these scumbags for stealing from regular traders.
