all the same = scam

Yeah, I didn't think of that. I'm convinced.

Wait... hang on. Let me try something...

all the same != scam

Dammit. . that was what I was afraid of... Now what do we do??!

(all the same = scam) + (all the same != scam) = 0

There's no money in crypto it looks like Cry

Your version of Boolean Algebra? Let me try: X + X! = 1 .....but..... X * X! = 0

I have read in many altcoins announcements these 3 terms, but I haven't understood yet the real difference between them. They seem to me referring to an identical process in which altcoins devs sell some of their coins at a low price.

What's the difference?

IPO: Initial Public Offering, like was done for maidsafecoins

ICO: Initial Coin Offering, like was done for Nxt

Pre-Sale: Selling out before launch, like was done for ethereum

nice example all of that a succes coin

I think that IPO refers to a any type of public offering while an ICO refers specifically to a "coins" public offering.

there is nothing we can do, just don't buy into it. if we're lucky then we would make some btc but if we get caught holding then chance all the saving would be gone. altcoins trading is more risky than trading pink sheet/over the counter.

SOOOO many butthurt posts in this thread.

Sounds like a lot of you should find a new hobby and stay out of crypto.

Use your head and you can profit from almost any altcoin.

Rather than complain about butthurt it's better to spend your time learning not to spread your cheeks so wide.

Devs are allowed to make money from coins, they're the ones who give us the goods to trade and make more BTCBTCBTC

I would though like to say your argument is flawed as people still purchase bitcoin and are making money off it.

What do market dynamics have to do with fair/unfair? My argument is that none of the listed options are fair, by any sensible definition, including POW. Do you believe 'fair' = everyone guaranteed to make a profit? If not, what relevance is there in your comment?

Why would anyone buy at inflated prices? Surely you would just buy at market rates, as determined by supply and demand, right?

I have a CPU, how much bitcoin can I get?

Well quite a lot if you mined it when it was a "SHITCOIN".

It's a bit like saying I don't want to work but I am entitled to money. ASIC miners forked out money and lets not forget without those ASICS, the network could would not be able to cope.

So early on, say first 2 months:
In POW you are able to get a hoarde of coins for next to nothing.
In POS you are able to get a hoarde of coins for next to nothing.

Later when developed:
In POW you have to shell out a lot of dollars to get a tiny hoarde.
In POS you have to shell out a lot of dollars to get a tiny hoarde.

But somehow POW is 'fair' and POS is unfair and a s c a m?

I never said POS was a scam.

But somehow POW is 'fair' and POS is unfair ~~and a s c a m~~?

True, edited. Any response to the actual meat of the comment?

Designer - Developer

As a solid bit of advice I would avoid any sort of ICO/IPO/Pre-mine coin.

Most of these do not end up well.. Come to think of it I can't think of one that has done what is promised or had decent return.
Most of these terms are basically the same.. with the "developers" asking for money or pre-purchasing premined coins.
Pretty shady shit if you ask me.

The Buzz word of the wild crypto west is shitcoin, history shows us during the gold rush fortunes where made and lost. Did the guy who dug, get more riches from the gold he dug up or did the guy he wholesaled it to?
