Topic: Alternative Block Chains : be safe! - page 9. (Read 1667184 times)
But the time of an alternative blockchain becomes ripe. The speed of transactions is big in a network of bitcoin. How to be with such speed at the realization of a new startup which demands instant payment confirmation?
This topic will never lose importance. Security first. As we are striving for adoption, unsecured and not reliable projects are pulling industry back. Always do your own research, if you aren't technical ask someone you trust and learn on a possible level!
On the other hand, there are so many interesting projects coming out. Fearing facing a scam shouldn't become ignoring everything.

I strongly agree. That's partly why I haven't messed with the alt chains. I even mentioned this on the announcement thread for coin but it got drowned out with all the excitement about it.
Thats right, im using more then one pc so i can mine easy. Not like other with one pc. Also what is important to use legit windows, not to use pirate windows. And with that you can make serious money as i do.
Top alternative coins are Ripple XRP, Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH, Stellar (XLM), and EOS (EOS). All 5 are a great way to get many people to setup many targets with Bitcoin users.
I would still add in the above list another coin Litecoin (LTC)
Wow, thoese coins are just some of the biggest alternative according to market cap.. ltc does more or less the same that btc; eth and Eos also do the same; ripple is a bank coin and xlm is married with ibm. of course these are alternative block chains, but there are much more you can list..

Litecoin and Dash and everything else is crashing the same way at the moment.
🚨#WhaleAlert 🐳🚨 OMG! 😱 #Litecoin has recently come under scrutiny for having 35.4 million #LTC, or about 60% of the total coin supply, moved by one entity! Wealth distribution plays a significant role in decentralization.
~60% of Litecoin's supply was recently moved by what was believed to be a single entity. ~44% of Litecoin's coin supply is in 100 wallets. Compared to ~14% of Dash's coin supply in the top 100 wallets. Coin wealth distribution helps make a decentralize network!

Hey everyone! Have you heard of Credits, what are your thoughts about this projects and this piece of news in particular???
I've copied the message from their ANN, if it's breaking some rules in this topic, please, pardon me and delete my post.

"Great news, guys! We've been waiting for this for so long and now it's here! IBM Cloud is officially partnered with Credits!
They aim to bring blockchain to the mainstream with high-speed, low-cost transactions with the help of IBM Cloud and also developed a use case along with IBM for IoT that will be validated on Credits blockchain!
They shared main points of the use case aimed to create new IoT models, which integrate blockchain technology with the IBM Watson IoT™ Platform and IBM Cloud infrastructure.
The aim of this use case is to offer a tamper-proof of the IoT indications in the public view along with the speed needed to process a great number of indications into a public blockchain at a very low cost, thanks to overall great performance that Credits platform offers."

Thanks Gav for your general warning. Well it is risky to invest into Bitcoin especially nowadays, however to invest into any altcoin it is even riskier. Ultimate gambling. However my feeling is that we have reached finally our final bottom. I know the shorter masters now call for a bet to 2798$. They think that Bitcoin will come down.
I also think that altcoins have been already rekkt big time. To come down to 83.47$ from 1430 $ is huge. I am talking about Ether. So there is a huge upside potential in Ether and Bitcoin might correct furthermore, however Ether is safe.

in fact there is a terrible fear, especially at Bitcoin, for example, doubling the turn, but for me the biggest fear is from the so-called crypto-currency rules.
This is true, time has passed since this was posted and its relevancy is astonishing. I would add that since a lot of block chains have actually emerged in the internet, this has not changed the nature of people, despite the ease of earning money through cryptocurrencies, they still want an easy and illegal way to earn. That's why we need to be more mindful on the blockchains that we want to use when we are dealing with our coins.
Gosh, the original post has been 7 years old. And still very relevant! There are so many wallets abailable now and in a desire to try things, some users disable their AV. Newbies forget to use virtual machine dry runs. I am guilty of that but have learned my lesson.
There is a good tool where you can not worry about the choice of crypto currency. At any time, in any currency, you can use the funds. The most convenient bitcoin tumbler ever I met
Nice pieces of advice. Auditing source code is best possible way to make sure whether a new block chain is embraceable or not, but honestly only a handful of people actually does that especially if the code is messy. From a developers perspective trying out a new block chain with minimal risk is doable(efficiency is also accounted), but for most of the investors with less technical knowledge minimizing the risk is like solving a complex math problem instead of being a total noob in math. And eventually learning to recognize useless coins is fruitful.
Great advice. I really the part about not investing more than you can afford to lose. CryptoCurrencies are not scam but can be used for scam so we all need to beware
This paper is awesome. I enjoyed it so much. I hope many people will keep an open minding as to adopting new innovations. This is the only way any technology could be grown.
Thanks.
Thanks.
This is true, a lot of block chains have actually emerged in the internet. As always people never change, despite the ease of earning money through cryptocurrencies, they still want an easy and illegal way to earn. That's why we need to be more mindful on the block chains that we want to use when we are dealing with our coins.
