Ok, so, you have been told smart contracts are new... Wrong. I was first working on this stuff in the early 90s and it is older than that. Oh, and there is a lot of case law and systems. Smart contracts existed pre Internet https://www.isode.com/Documentation/SWADMX400.pdf …
In fact, I was at the ASX in part to move to the NEW Internet based exchange and help get that going in the 90s... A move from X.25 and X.400 networks. To sell and trade shares.
EDI dates from the 80s - "Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) provides a method for organisations to send and receive standardised business communications quickly, flexibly, cheaply and in a secure manner. " https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ad45/2b3d4f1fba94ee17d79dcff277e6181560e3.pdf …
As for law, the young foolish boys who think this is all new. Start with: EDI and the Law1 Jan 1989 by Ian Walden Smart contract law, share tokens, it goes to the 80s.

Tyler Coleman
Hey everyone. I was going through my notes, cleaning up my computer and came across this I wrote back in January. It is basic, fundamental advice I learned over my first year in crypto. I hope you get some value from it. Have a wonderful day!
Don’t get blinded by greed: If a coin is running parabolic, SELL it at some point. Assuming it’s going to go to $100 and beyond is naive. This happened to me with NEO. I caught the Antshares train and rode it all the way to the very top. I was refreshing my blockfolio, leaping up almost a thousand dollars a minute. I was 1000% sure this was the coin that was going to break all the rules. It was going to run parabolic and then run even more so— all the way until it made me millions. I was blinded by the potential and the money I could make. I saw the exit. I knew it was there. I didn’t take it. I watched the bounce happen and saw my exit again. I didn’t take it. I stubbornly held it. I rode a slow, painful, bleeding grind all the way to the bottom.
There are two types of trades: buying for long-term holding and buying with intent to sell. Don’t muddle the two up in a quasi-sell, quasi-long hold murky mess. Only buy coins for the long term that you truly believe in. The market is speculative and most of the projects out there will fail. It’s safer to make short term trades and cash out into one of the more stable coins. Or, buy your long term holds at good entry points.
If you want to buy for long term holding, do your own research. When I first got into crypto I made all the mistakes. I was throwing money around, buying coins I knew nothing about, and going off of word of mouth. I got lucky on some of the coins, but I also got absolutely wrecked on others. All credible projects have a white paper which outlines their mission. Read it. One really important detail to check for is the token distribution. ICOs that offer massive discounts on pre-sale I tend to avoid as that just reads big money getting in cheap looking to pump and dump.
If you are interested in buying with the intent to sell, learn at the very least, basic TA. Fibonacci retracement is a really strong indicator that plays out time and time again. Beyond that there are literally hundreds of different indicators. Different traders swear by different sets of indicators.
Find what works for you. MACD, RSI, and Stochastic RSI are a few I like to keep up with.
If you are buying on a post that was made on Facebook or Twitter, you’re probably already too late to the trade.
Don’t margin trade unless you know what you’re doing. Trading with leverage is a really quick way to make a ton of money...and if you don’t know what you’re doing, an even quicker way to lose your money. Sites like Bitmex are great but rife with manipulation. Whales know all the tricks. They know how to lay traps. They know what you’re looking for. They know exactly when you’ll hit the panic button and sell. They will wreck you. Start really small and watch and learn how they play. Learn their games and don’t be the sucker. I’ve been slapped so many times entering what I think is a good trade only to fall off a cliff.
Take time off. Crypto doesn’t sleep. It runs 24/7/365. That doesn’t mean you can also. If you smash it and catch some good gains. Take some time off. Don’t forget about your friends, significant others, and pets! I’m not in this game to make my life more stressful. I’m here to make gains and enjoy my free time.
Give Blockfolio a rest. If you’re not actively trading, then there’s no reason to be compulsively checking your folio. Crypto is incredibly volatile. I’ve seen my entire portfolio swing 30% in both directions in a single day. What did I do with this information? I stressed and jumped for joy all in the same day. It’s important to remember none of these swings are actualized until you make the move to cash them out. So if you aren’t trading, then why are you checking? It just causes swings in your emotions.
Learn what the market cap is. This is such an important one that is so commonly overlooked. Just the other day when Verge was pumping to the moon, someone in my Slack channel was talking about how it could hit $1 a token. A quick check of the market cap shows that Verge has over 14 billion coins in circulation. So, at $1 a token, Verge would be valued at $14 billion. That’s on par with Litecoin. In seeing this, you can quickly learn that a price target like $1 just isn’t feasible. I learned my lesson after getting smacked with NEO.
Get involved with the community. There are many great groups on Facebook that share tips and insight. Beyond that, many projects have Slack, Discord, or Telegram to keep you posted on their developments. If you like a project, join their community. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s going on, get to know the team, and even catch little bits of trade tips.
Test each new transaction. It might be hard to swallow double transaction fees, but it’s the only true way to know everything is running as expected. Also, make sure you are 100% focused when sending your tokens.
Phishing scams. They’re everywhere. The crypto space is unregulated and there is no insurance if you get conned, so be careful. Use strong, unique passwords for each different website you exchange on and never click any unsolicited links sent to your email. Bookmark your websites and only use those links to prevent typos which can lead you to malicious webpages.
Use 2FA. Two Factor Authentication is a great way to secure your money on exchanges. All major exchanges support it. Use it. My Ether Wallet does not have 2FA. Any emails you receive regarding their 2FA policy is a phishing scam.
Get an offline wallet. When you’re done trading, move your money to an offline wallet. Exchanges like Bittrex and Binance don’t actually hold your tokens. They have an internal system that allows for instantaneous trading. So in essence, you don’t actually hold your tokens when you leave money on the exchange. This setup also prevents you from receiving airdrops and forked coins (in some but not all exchanges).

Why listing a coin on coinbase is a big thing? Accessibility?? Nobody cared when the same is listed on Robinhood...just curious to know ...
James Fawke
Exposure
Buy the hype sell the news etc
Marc Fincham
Because coinbase is so easy to use it’s a good gateway into crypto for the uninitiated
Jason Morgan
Robinhood isn't anywhere close to coinbase in popularity, the coinbase app was the most downloaded app in the world at one point, there are millions of users out there who have only ever bought crypto on coinbase and never used any other exchange (I'd go as far as saying the majority of coinbase users) so anything listed on there is exposed to millions of buyers who never use exchanges.
Michael Gu
My controversial View on XRP:
XRP is like unit bias. People buy XRP because they know the general public will fall for it. "Big banks and partnerships" pop up - so it will pump during a bull market. The issue is that banks partner to use the protocol and not the shitcoin XRP. Hence promoting XRP and trying to convince people that big banks will actually hold XRP is unethical
Jefferson Alianza
That same goes for almost everything in crypto space, not just XRP you know.
Michael Gu
true. XRP is a little bit more obvious because banks are trusted entities. they don't need 3rd party trust when doing transactions (what XRP is supposed to be for). They can just use Ripple protocol and save on the exchange fees.
Grant Cox
Ripple isn't a crypto, it's a remittance service. If you want to invest in that fine, go ahead. If you want to invest in crypto, invest in a proper crypto with a fair decentralized consensus mechanism. Also: https://blog.bitmex.com/the-ripple-story/ - Some good info in here.
David Taylor
There's some good points in there but also some terrible ones. The ending with why not use the dollar completely undermines the whole article. Conflicting statements saying Larson owns 386 billion dollars of xrp in February but then he owned 2 billion xrp... they choose to use the pre charity figure from 2015 to spin the article negatively which is a shame as now I feel it's all written with bias
Darran Davies
No other system other than Xrapid solves the instant settlement problem hence why xrapid is inevitable.
Also don’t forget xrp isn’t just for banks it’s for any system that would benefit from instant settlement.

#phunware
#phuncoin
I read this the other day and don’t think its been posted here yet. I’m excited to see this project roll out and create havoc in its target markets. I get excited in this space when I see real corporations with real revenue streams and real customers take the leap and put their necks on the line in the name of disruption. ICO’s have a pretty bad rap right now, but it seems they are doing everything in their power to “embrace the man” and not run away from him. Personally, I think that’s the way it should be as “the man” and “the intuitions” have a lot of power and cash too help our “small” market cap flourish.
Looking forward to the next couple of years of seeing this project do its thing!

Randall Crowder
My man! I appreciate you. Certainly proud of what we're doing but always want to maintain the sanctity of the Watch, which is why Alan and I didn't shill this article, LOL. Fortunately, we're not doing the traditional ICO model trying to raise money from unaccredited investors so I feel a little better talking about PhunCoin. I have to tell you ... it's amazing how much bad information is out there and unfortunately, it's cost a lot of people a lot of money. Let me set the record straight. Launching a cryptocurrency is no different that any other early-stage fundraising event be it angel investment or venture capital. You sell people on the promise of an opportunity, you raise money to realize that dream and then you work like hell for 3-5 years to prove yourself right. With crypto, people think everything is supposed to be ready for prime time the minute the ICO closes or a cryptocurrency lists on exchange. Nothing could be further from the truth, so when you're evaluating new opportunities you better be thinking about the team ... do real people / companies stand behind your investment, working on it 24/7 to make sure its successful? We touched on this in another thread, but I want Watchers to be safe out there. ICOs are a great way to generate incredible returns, but you have to be disciplined and DYOR!

Not enough RAM to unstake
by thedrahos
I've got over 100 EOS, have it all staked, and I wanted to send some to a buddy... I was going to unstake to send and it says I don't have enough RAM to unstake.
I know I can buy some EOS on an exchange and send it to my wallet and use it to buy RAM; but it just seems strange to be in a position where you have to buy more to access what you already own.
Johndoe74
I got into the same situation. Got a free EOS account from Infinitowallet, but the account only came with 3K RAM, and 0.01 CPU and 0.01 Net stakes. Once I transferred some EOS into this account, I noticed I can't initiate any action. Not enough RAM to stake more EOS, not enough CPU/Net stakes to buy more RAM.
Eventually I bit the bullet and create a new account with 8KB RAM, staked some CPU/NET to my InfinitoWallet EOS account and buy more RAM there.
But there are thousands of 'free' EOS accounts out there probably will be useless since they can't buy more RAM or stake more CPU/NET.
I think the mainnet should forbid the creation of new accounts, if the RAM bought is less than 4KB, or not enough CPU/NET staked.

My guess is that it will be $.005-$.02.

It will dump, followed by a fomo pump, dump again and settle around the 1 to 2 cent mark for the time being. Just saying.
Currently trading around 1 cent (USD) on Dragonex.

Price Prediction
by booyah_cb
What do you guys think? Any ideas for a Price until at the end of this year? #EOS
RiverKingfisher
$5-$30 depending on general health of market. It’s all still too connected.
Theblockchainkid
Agree. Although I’d argue we’re seeing a gradual decoupling of EOS with the market, as more fiat pairs are introduced.
I do believe there are other events that could cause upward price movements not in sync with the rest of the market. One such event could be the announcement of a killer Steemit/Bitshares 2.0 project built on EOS airdropping to a future snapshot date. There are others out there too, but I’d just be speculating so not sure and of the value in doing too much of that.
RiverKingfisher
Fingers crossed. I had honestly hoped for some killer news in the months following launch. Maybe later this year. Nothing seems to be moving the market like 2017. Good news in 2017 = 20% spike. Great news in 2018 = 10% dip.

Using DAI with other smart contract providers
by bananaofakind
Is it possible to use DAI with other smart contract capable tokens, like EOS or Cardano? One of the ideas was to possibly use AION. How feasible is it?
james_pic
Cross-chain transactions are tricky.
In general, you can't do anything much more complex than cross-chain atomic swaps, where two parties agree to a purchase of a token on one chain with a token on another, such as buying 1 EOS with 7 DAI. This is possible between any two chains that support smart contracts or Bitcoin script.
The snag with anything more complex than this, is that it's not usually possible for one chain to prevent something happening on another. The holy grail would be a way to transfer a token to a different chain, do some transactions with it, then transfer it back to the other chain. But in practice, every proposal I've seen for this involves trusting someone to "look after" the token on the original chain, and give it back to you if you transfer it back.
In principle, it might be doable between smart contract chains (some kind of multi-master Plasma Cash might be possible), and AION say they're attempting it (although they seem sketchy on the details), but I'm not aware of a mature implementation.

Is Wanchain being dishonest about their total supply?
by Justacluster
Wanchain has said that their total supply was 210mm but I believe below is absolute proof that it is higher. Can somebody find any holes with this information?
If you look at genesis_alloc.go on github (https://github.com/wanchain/go-wanchain/blob/master/core/genesis_alloc.go), you'll find the genesis allocation. The address 0x01d0689001F18637993948e487a15BF3064b16e4 is holding the 10% WAN meant for miners. Those funds are untouched and everything adds up to 210 million.
But looking at https://explorer.cryptocurve.xyz/you'll see that the mining addresses are holding newly generated funds that don't show up on the official explorer unless you send a new tx to one of them. Example:

''Our engineering team has developed and open sourced our first client library for QuarkChain. The library provides similar interfaces as web3.js (the Ethereum client library) so that the existing Ethereum DApp developers can easily start building Apps on QuarkChain. We also integrated the client library and our testnet with MetaMask (the most popular hot wallet as a browser extension) which can be used to manage QuarkChain accounts and signing transactions.

Why did Medipedia Move from ERC20 to EOS?
Medipedia
Medipedia is a blockchain driven healthcare service provider that eliminates the role of intermediaries in the growing health tourism industry. Medipedia’s decentralized healthcare app will offer a peer to peer matching and consultation services. Medipedia Token (MEP) owners will be able to avail transparent world class cost-effective health services. Earlier, MEP Token was based on the ERC20 standard of the Ethereum Blockchain.
Though Ethereum smart contracts offer unlimited processing for decentralized apps, scalability and transaction speed on the Ethereum network is limited. This is not a pressing issue during the teething stages but as the Medipedia network grows with time, the Ethereum smart contract framework will not be ideal for Medipedia goal of delivering real-time global standard health services.
To overcome this hurdle, Medipedia is now moving from the ERC20 Ethereum Blockchain to the EOS.

Introducing MakerDAO and Dai to The Ocean Ecosystem
The Ocean
Blockchain is the foundational architecture for a decentralized world. As the ecosystem evolves and grows, it’s clear that “trusted” intermediaries only introduce unnecessary friction and uncertainty. Centralized exchanges are currently the de facto method of moving digitized value, but they mirror the same inefficiencies of the traditional financial system. They introduce cost, time, and risk to the flow of value. To create a truly trustless world, we created The Ocean to bring non-custodial trading to all types of financial value.
As an essential piece of this future, we recognize the need for blockchain-native stablecoins to reduce volatility, speculation, and reliance on intermediary structures. That’s why we’re very excited to announce that we’re working with the MakerDAO team to bring MKR and DAI to The Ocean.
