Doge is every newbs rite of passage.

if you're complaining about coinbase fees why aren't you using gdax? no fees on limit orders and free withdrawals

I use gdax, gdax is dope
But when we had that nice dip a couple weeks ago I needed more ETH. I wasn’t about to sell anything low to buy ETH. So I had to cop on CB and eat fees. Ideally we have usd sitting on gdax for that but that’s another story.

I'm bout to throw a 100 on some doge and let it rock out... lol

 

[vtotheinay]

No hype on it whatsoever. Still hope to pick it up on the exchanges at a decent price.

Any other ICO's your participating or looking to get into?

give it a few days

26 of the remaining million on their 30 mill hard cap sold out yesterday in 24 hours during private presale.

nothing else right now

Gdax is a subsidiary of coinbase? And can u use the same UN and PW? If so that's kinda wild

Yep and yep

 

[carver]

Doesn't allow me to use gdax in Minnesota ..at least that's how it was before iono about now

 

[vtotheinay]

btw whoever posted remme. would stay away, that team is sketchy as hell

 

[stick]

Gdax is very clutch for avoiding CB transfer fees.

btw whoever posted remme. would stay away, that team is sketchy as hell

How so?

 

[Majorbread]

Scooped some more Ven today around the $7 mark

Here is a breakdown of the remme team

Remme Alex Momot - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-momot-93596b32/ Spoke at eu-EMS (https://eu-ems.com/speakers.asp?event_id=4337&page_id=9248), trackable history. Founded BitX, now https://www.luno.com/. Unclear if he is still involved, I did not identify his picture among the current employees. Would be curious as to why he is no longer there. Looks like a serial startup entrepreneur. Finance major, no technical background that I can find. Heavily associated with Bitcoin foundation in Ukraine.

Roman Kravchenko https://www.linkedin.com/in/romankrav4/ Blockchain expert, positions at 482.solutions gives some credence to that I guess; 2 years experience makes you an expert in a field now. Who knew. Post grad in econ and finance, also applied math and info. So some tech background. Product management and the like in history.

Eugene Babichenko - Yellow Flag (Due to Mira assoc) https://www.linkedin.com/in/eugenebabichenko/ He is currently also working on another ICO Mira https://icobench.com/ico/mira, New grad, less than 3 years experience. Also works at 482.solutions. A very junior dev to have for this role.

Taras Emelyanenko - Yellow Flag (Due to Mira assoc) https://www.linkedin.com/in/taras-emelyanenko-97055047/ Yet another employee working on the Mira project. This guy has a good background with a resume I'd expect from an architect/senior dev. Lots of moving around through, fairly common in our field. Masters in AI.

Anatolii Padenko https://www.linkedin.com/in/anatolii-padenko-60322b83/ Smart Contract Engineer Another new engineer, another dual employee. This one works at SoftServe - not a ton of experience probably enough to deal with a smart contract.

I'm unclear as to what role 482.solutions is playing in all this. Is this the tech team that is doing the development? They look like a contract company. It appears they're also working on Mira? Is Remme associated with Mira in some way?

Honestly it's what I've seen many times from east euro teams, not a lot of detail and thin resumes. I don't see any real domain expertise - they might be able to leverage whatever they're pulling from 482.solutions to help. My biggest question is are they associated or impacted by Mira (https://miralab.io) in some way? The devs all show Remme as current employer with no mention of Mira. Odd.

Another sketchball East Euro team. Pass for me.

There's also Gemini that allows you to instantly transfer $500 per day from your bank and the fees are fraction compared to Coinbase. Plus it's a real-time orderbook like gdax so you can put some money away there in case there's a major correction and your deposit hasn't cleared on gdax.

Make sure I understand this...your concern is the lack of resume experience?

And, they’re working on other ico’s, potentially being temp contractors?

I’m not concern about the experience or contractors because you’ll be surprised how many major companies cycle their IT department with contractors.

Experience is subjective. I’ve interviewed people who have 8 pages Harvard resumes and I run circles around them (at the time I was a supervisor for a Network team. I’m not that knowledgeable (5 months of experience) but I knew enough to know when someone is bull****ing).

However, I do see concern of the stability of the team.

I’ll ask in the telegram

ICO investing is a lot easier when you spot the trends and figure out your own methods on what works and doesn't work. I shared mine and some thoughts I found as well that backed up my sentiments regarding how I already felt about remme. not saying it can't do well, but I don't have enough confidence in them to put my money into it. doesn't fit my metrics

Came in here to share news about Robinhood.

I been trading stocks on there for a minute now. Anyone want to use my referral link to sign up hit my DM lol. We both get a free stock in a random company (could be Apple, Ford, Sprint, etc). Apparently it also helps move up the list to get access to RH crypto sooner.

 

[younglorious973]

so what's the deal with VEN doubling it's circulating supply? what was the reason and what will be the outcome? holding a bunch rn and kinda unsure of what's about to go down (no pun intended)

From the Ven Reddit:
As most of you may know that we contacted CoinmarketCap regarding the circulating supply and total supply of VeChian Token(VEN).

On behalf of VeChain Foundation, I would like to clarify the following information to VeChain community, as of 13th October 2017:

Public token sale: 410,000,000 VEN; Private token sale: 90,000,000 VEN; Enterprise investors: 128,512,100 VEN (total 230,000,000 VEN); Token burned: 132,837,366 VEN; Team:50,000,000 VEN (locked); On-going Operation: 220,000,000 VEN (locked)

Circulating Supply: 410,000,000+90,000,000+128,512,100-132,837,366=495,674,734 VEN

Total Supply： 1,000,000,000 (original total supply) - 132,837,366 (burned) = 867,162,634 VEN

The tokens were strictly distributed based on what we stated in the VeChain Development Plan (https://cdn.vechain.com/vechain_ico_ideas_of_development_en.pdf) section 4.6.1, and also the numbers are confirmed and reviewed by PwC.

We fully communicated with CoinMarketCap and provided above information. According to the methodology, CoinMarketCap doesn’t consider tokens sold during private sales to be in free float and as a result will not factored into their circulating supply calculation.

Thanks for your supports!

To put it simply:
Total Supply： 1,000,000,000 (original total supply) - 132,837,366 (burned) = 867,162,634 VEN

Of that 867,162,634, the team and ongoing operation locks up 270,000,000. So we have 597,162,634 remaining.

to put things in perspective, Tron has supply of 760,000,000,000 (yes, that's 3 extra zeros)

Put in my orders for VEN. Nice lil dip goin on
