"Altcoin" is a combination of two words: "alt" and "coin"; alt signifying 'alternative' and coin signifying (in essence) 'cryptocurrency.' Thus together they imply a category of cryptocurrency that is alternative to the digital currency Bitcoin. Some examples of good altcoins:  https://www.iota.org/ https://qubic.iota.org/ Please no unnecessary fud, trolling, etc. That's what got this thread shut down last time. I will be moderating this thread with a heavy hand ghosTTy fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Aug 6, 2018 |

Some terms you should familiarize yourself with FUD - fear, uncertainty, and doubt Bankster - a person working for or supporting the traditional banking system Fudster - a person who spreads fud for no reason Nocoiner - someone who doesn't own any cryptocurrency, not all bad people, usually just naive people

GoGoGadgetChris posted:I bought $1,000 of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin in January 2018 and it's only worth $420 now! I'm very sentimental about the crypto market, if you don't need the money I would advise you just hold onto it and forget about it for a few years. Also, litecoin is pretty bad and will never be worth anything. The creator is a market manipulator and an all around scumbag. Trade it for a good altcoin like IOTA

Right now is a really good time to buy. In the industry we call this "buying the dip" because the market has bottomed out and likely won't go anywhere but up. There's a chance it could fall further but at this point it's negligible.

uncle jim on fox http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/5799677012001/?playlist_id=3166411554001#sp=show-clips SATELLITE NETWORK In partnership with Vector Space Systems (Vector), Nexus will provide global access to its digital currency and autonomous Internet infrastructure using Vector’s Galactic Sky software-defined platform in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network. Nexus intends to build both ground and space-based mesh networks to host a variety of distributed applications and services. This advanced technology will bring affordable access to a global information network for all. DISTRIBUTED HARDWARE Nexus will be launching blockchain into orbit, bringing the dream of total decentralization closer to reality. A Nexus satellite network will complement existing infrastructure, extending Nexus’s reach around the globe and will reduce reliance on centralized networks. With each satellite acting as a full node, it will incentivize individuals and organizations to participate and ultimately enabling a true decentralized infrastructure. APPLICATION PLATFORM Satellites will operate as nodes of the Nexus blockchain, forming part of the smart contract platform. A space-based platform offers greater redundancy and security for decentralized applications since satellites are resistant to regulation or control by government and corporate entities. Eventually, third-party applications can be hosted on satellites directly and take advantage of the Nexus network. This business model will support the sustainability of the network and provide satellite owners with additional revenue potential. OPEN INTERNET ACCESS The Nexus satellite network will aim to bridge the gap between existing networks and areas lacking infrastructure, by working to provide reliable and affordable Internet access around the world. Revenue generated by the network’s commercial applications and blockchain model will pay for the maintenance and operation of the network, lowering costs for the end user. Specialized ground stations will allow uncensored access to the satellite network and will be publicly available for purchase. VECTOR SPACE SYSTEMS Vector Space Systems is an innovative leader in the nanosatellite sector and was established to develop affordable launch capabilities and in-orbit platforms. Vector co-founder and CEO Jim Cantrell was part of the founding team of Elon Musk’s SpaceX as well as Moon Express, the first private company to attempt a moon landing. Larger companies like SpaceX focus on launching mid to large-size satellites into geosynchronous orbit (GEO), but Vector is providing affordable launches by engineering smaller reusable rockets. Nexus will purchase rockets and use the spare capacity of other launches when possible. Our partnership with Vector allows their clients to pay for launches using NXS. ORBITAL MESH NETWORK Nexus will lease satellites from Galactic Sky starting in 2018 at a discounted rate in return for testing the platform. These satellites will store blockchain signature data and will operate as full staking nodes, greatly enhancing the reliability and performance of the network. Over 2019, Nexus aims to deploy community-owned cubesats to create its own constellation. Once our hardware designs are finalized and open source, individuals will be able to add their own satellites to the network pool and profit from their space capacity. The constellation will also be available to other developers to host their own software applications and provide data storage. The Nexus orbital mesh network will consist of a range of cubesats from the sub-1U to the larger 3U satellites in LEO, each orbiting the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. Phillip Swazey who worked with Iridium, a satellite communication company that has a constellation of 72 satellites in GEO, is currently designing the preliminary 1U satellite for Phase 1 deployment. The orbital mesh network will be designed in two layers: a relay layer and an outer processing and storage layer. Initially, relay cubesats will symbiotically communicate with ground mesh hardware by hand radio frequencies UHF and VHF, which are much easier to obtain FCC licenses for, supplying adequate bandwidth to support transactions and other services. In the future Nexus cubesats will communicate on S-band, a wifi range that is capable of transferring much more data. GROUND MESH NETWORK By building a supporting ground mesh network, Nexus will create global coverage without having the latency issues experienced by most satellite providers. We estimate that a constellation of 300 cubesats will be required to provide full ground coverage. Nexus envisions thousands of cubesats in LEO by 2025. The ground-based mesh network will help scale and balance data transmission between ground and orbital nodes so that satellite access is not necessary at all times. Individually-owned client devices like cell phones and computers will connect to receiving devices such as satellite dishes which will communicate with the cubesats. This connectivity will increase speed and efficiency and create ad hoc networks that do not rely on gatekeeping hardware or a central access point such as a router, serving to make the Nexus network even more distributed. We are currently designing hardware and software for ground devices and once the designs are finalized, they will be open source.

Mainstream sites rarely report on altcoins because they have a bad rep, and they're mostly east coasters (where the fed is, coincidence??) so they're adamant nocoiners.

it's not a big deal, they just brute forced some wallets with weak seeds to save the contents from any malicious actors. seems like a nice thing to do considering they weren't obligated to do this. not like they had a backdoor into wallets or anything like that stupid bitch would lead you to believe (she's working on a competing project, typical iota fud)

 I think I'm going to trade my Factom for something else, it's become clear they're building a SaaS platform and there won't be an incentive for the use of FCT and energy credits other than as a test platform, which explains why EC usage has remained so low despite all the rumours of fortune 100 clients. Might be something worth looking into if Factom inc. go public, though? :hmmm: Maybe trade for more NEO? I think it should be a higher % of my port. The gas income is nice for long term hodlers Currently
