More losses and job cuts in the banking sector:

The Current State of the Struggling Financial Sector

http://www.modestmoney.com/current-state-financial-sector/30834?

That is significant, their stocks are down 12% to 22%, and one company is going to lay off 4,000 employees. I take it the fines from 'white collar crimes' are killing them and people are in turn losing confidence. Hopefully the digital currency and fintech industries have and will continue to absorb some of the loss in jobs. It is always disheartening to see people being laid off, especially under these circumstances.

Since the 2008 financial crises, most of the banks that survived have recovered significantly, mostly due to plenty of "cheap" money available. On balance, banks are in a better position this time around, but are confronted with more challenges, especially coming from the digital currency and FinTech space. And it is just the beginning. Major job loses in the banking sectors will continue for years.

Quoted from CryptoMoms

Quote from: Shepherd

Quote from: wiser

I wrote this one a while ago, and not sure why I held off on publishing it. It's still just as applicable today. As much positive as the Cryptosphere has going for it, the industry as a whole has a number of serious flaws, one of which is basic lack of professionalism. This article elaborates on some of the manifestations I've personally experienced, and urges the reader to not do them. I'm sure that it's totally preaching to the choir to post it here, but if you've been around the Cryptosphere for any amount of time, I bet you've had similar experiences. Feel free to share here or as a comment to the blog.

On not self-destructing

Kudos to Alan (Shepherd) and the entire DNotes leadership team for also noticing this and making it a priority to maintain an atmosphere of utmost professionalism in all aspects of the DNotes journey!

Excellent write-up, Wiser. A recommended must read. Thanks for a great contribution to the community. We all can learn from it.

Great write up wiser!

I resurrected my thread about retiring on faucets over on CryptoMoms. I decided to kind of start all over with an even less labor intensive approach, which I figure will appeal to people who have very limited time.

I'm considering offering prizes for a friendly competition if the interest is there. I've got plenty of DNotes for a few small prizes. Although faucet earnings are generally considered negligible they can be a way for people who have absolutely no other way to acquire cryptos to get involved and even turn those negligible earnings into something that could be significant down the road. For this reason, it makes sense to raise some awareness of the possibilities.

Here's the new message: http://cryptomoms.com/forum/general-discussion/9/could-i-retire-on-faucets/951/msg6088#msg6088

Thank you wiser, looks great! It's seems faucets have lost traction in popularity over the last year, but still a fascinating concept and great for everyone trying to get started in cryptocurrency.

The game plan would be to have a small light weight bot for each strategy. You would have a separate exchange account assigned to your bot. This would make it easy to run multiple strategies on multiple accounts.

So far the ideas for bots are (I will elaborate on features and options later):
~~Hold the Line - Ensures there is always a buy order with a given price range.~~
Market Stabilizer - Watches the market for swings in price and reacts to it to stabilize the market. (Without trying to hinder market growth*)
~~Accumulator - Slowly buys and competes at the best market price.~~
Bollinger Bands - bid X% inside each bollinger band.
Profit Model Accumulator - Buys low and sells higher with the intention of accumulating DNotes through small profit trades.

Feel free to throw out more ideas, strategies, and discuss what we have so far.

The Accumulator should be good to go soon. I've been running it for a couple days now, with a small amount, using the percentage option. That will take care of the Hold the Line option as well, unless we feel it doesn't have the right options for Hold the Line?

For the Market Stabilizer, I was thinking we could take an x day average of the weighted average, and the Average Trading Range, to calculate where the market should be. We could possibly use the daily highs and lows as well. You can see all this kind of data if you click the Charts button in the accumulator.

Options for determining the low/high end. So we can configure where to buy and sell.
1) Average of the last X days daily low/high.
2) Average of Weighted Average +/- (Average Trading Range / 2) over the last X days.
Something else?

We have a new set of Categories in the CryptoMoms forum, under Finance & Money. Chase is spending a lot of time to market CryptoMoms and working on the forums, and recently taken over the CryptoMoms twitter account. IMZ and wiser have put in a great deal of effort to help support the CryptoMoms forums as well.

Since we have also seen an increase in CryptoMoms popularity.

CryptoMoms is ranked 211,000 in U.S. in the Alexa Traffic rank (the lower rank the better) which is impressive, getting close to DCEBrief. I don't remember what it was before, but I know it wasn't close to 211k.

Thank you for everyone's support, CryptoMoms is certainly growing.

Cool! I'm hoping to do some updating today

Quite liked this ad, which is much better than the Paypal ad in the superbowl:

Great ad. Very generous of Paypal. The message came across that Bitcoin is the new money. Yes, Bitcoin is the new money. So is DNotes.

Our best wishes to you all for a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!!!

Some limited features available, namely using purchase by percentage of available bitcoin. Download
This would be a limited feature Alpha release, so very limited testing has been done. What is the risk?
As long as this is run on a separate PoloniEx account, with limited funds in it, and you do not set the API keys to allow withdrawing (by default withdrawing is disabled), then the risk is probably limited to over purchasing DNotes if the application misbehaves. I don't see that happening, but you never know.

How do I set it up?
-Register a brand new PoloniEx account.
-Once logged into your new PoloniEx account, click the wrench in the upper right hand corner and select API keys.
-Create New API key.
-Download and unzip the Accumulator.zip file to a folder.
-Open Accumulator.exe and enter your API key and Secret, then click save API keys.
-Deposit whatever amount of BTC into your new PoloniEx account that you are looking to purchase DNotes with.
-Wait for the BTC to confirm. Then you can adjust your bot settings and click the Start Bot button.

Some notes:
The application breaks the purchases into hourly amounts. If the bot already purchased too much, it will wait an hour before re-calculating.
Time is set to UTC time, to match PoloniEx.
It does require DotNet 4.5 or higher. If it doesn't work, you will likely need to update DotNet.
I won't be providing Mac or Linux versions in the near future, if there is a demand at a later point, we will definitely consider creating them or offloading to a trading bot developer.
I am releasing this with limited functionality to give the community an opportunity see how it works and comment.

The backstop function is now enabled, you can Download it here.

It will function as just a backstop bot if you uncheck the Purchase using percentage option. Otherwise it will do both.

Cool, what is the charts button for?

Forgot to remove it, it just pulls daily information about DNotes trading history and dumps it into a grid. Probably not very useful, unless you are analyzing DNotes trade history.

Great recap Ken!

I agree, this was a bit disappointing:
Coin Telegraph recently published an article providing some insight into the results of a survey they conducted with Blockchain ATM owners to assess their opinions about offering altcoins to their customers. While there was some support for offering currencies other than Bitcoin if customers demanded it, most of the respondents asserted that no such demand had yet materialized.

It may not have been a large amount of support, but I'm sure that will grow.
