  • My Grandmother gave me money to invest for her

    Do research on more than just the crypto coin or token you want to invest in. Research the ecosystem in its entirety. Ways you can earn with that crypto and how to navigate through the ecosystem. It is hard to say what one should do when investing. What was a good trade for one person may not be for you. Look into the Cosmos ecosystem (https://cosmos.network ) Atom (Cosmostation is amazing https://www.cosmostation.io ) Luna( https://www.terra.money) Secret Network( https://scrt.network ) Osmosis(https://osmosis.zone) TerraUSD (which in Anchor Protocol pays 20% APR https://app.anchorprotocol.com/earn) Check out Cosmostation and look through the % they pay out for the coins they support. Also easy to navigate and swap and sell between them using Osmosis and TerraSwap https://terraswap.io. Checkout PolkaDOT and Kusama(https://kusama.network) and the parachain auctions/crowdloans and staking percentages offered (https://polkadot.js.org and https://fearlesswallet.io) Also staking Luna at Terrastation (https://station.terra.money) not only pays out ~12% for staking Luna but you will receive weekly drops from projects building on Terra such as Mirror protocol, Anchor Protocol and a ton of others.( https://www.terradrops.io ) Check out ApeBoard Finance and look through the different protocols on each network and the LPs they have ( https://apeboard.finance/dashboard ) Raptoreum is also a fairly new project that has shared nodes and private nodes to earn and compound your interest. You can choose to get paid out a certain % and leave the other % to continue to compound.( https://raptoreum.com and inodez for earning ~50% https://inodez.com)….. I would recommend you research Cosmos, Secret Network, Luna, TerraUSD, Osmosis, Ergo(https://ergoplatform.org/en/) Flux(https://runonflux.io) Pirate Chain (An amazing privacy coin with some of the best privacy features. Though privacy coins can be volatile. https://pirate.black ) Dero is a great private smart contract platform that hasn’t yet launched their main net. Built from scratch with some amazing developers. (https://dero.io) PolkaDOT and Kusama.Look into Lps like Beefy Finance (https://www.beefy.finance) So many great projects with different use cases and ways to to earn depending on the ecosystem. Too many to list and link so I inevitably left some out. Best of luck to you and Merry Christmas!
  • Pirate Chain needs a more professional and trustworthy rebranding
    2 projects | /r/PirateChain | 25 Nov 2021
    I think I have only seen Pirate Chain using the classic Pirate Chain "P" in the golden cirkel across the pirate.black including every exchange and official crypto pages like Coin Gecko etc. Personal pet projects started by Pirates often go in a personal direction, I see no way or need of changing that.

    What is not easy to use with pirate? Pirate is what got me into crypto and as a noob I had no issues. What doesn't appear trustworthy? I admit that the https://pirate.black site doesn't look so hot and needs some tinkering. I find the https://www.pirate.si/ site is more appealing for noobs. Because pirate is decentralized, the fund for marketing is small. Most of the marketing is done ARRR holders that volunteer to help the project. You are free to market this project however you would like. What do you see as not user-friendly within the ecosystem?

    I know some people in the community has made this arrrmada.com page where they put together lists of places that take ARRR as payment. You should be able to find this yourself like under the FAQ section on the main page I previously pointed you towards for questions like this.... pirate.black also community members is currently working on another page called piratechain.com also worth taking a look at..

    Zcash https://z.cash/ is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that provides privacy through the use of zero-knowledge proofs. ZEC also provides the option of transparency, making it a versatile choice for users who value privacy and transparency.

    I haven't studied it, but I believe ZCash https://z.cash/ is not designed to eliminate that record (that's what a blockchain is right?), but to encrypt it and then use zero-knowledge proofs to show the validity of the transactions.

    That seems like it might be the best of both worlds in some ways: laws can be enforced when it's genuinely important to do so (the record is there so presumably if you seize people's keys you can verify transactions), but not so cheaply as to entail practical mass surveillance and tyranny. In principle presumably a possible weakness is later large-scale decryption if the encryption gets broken -- but that's arguably much less useful to the would-be tyrants and surveillers.

    zkSync is a ZKR live on Ethereum mainnet. Immutable X and Loopring also use ZKR. Zcash is the first widespread application of zk-SNARKs. Polygon is focused on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography as the end game for blockchain scaling. There's a lot of innovation happening in this space. L2beat.com provides details about Ethereum layer 2 scaling solutions.

  • do NOT use these cryptocurrencies, they may harm the state! 😳
    3 projects | /r/AnCapCopyPasta | 8 Sep 2021
    There is a widespread misconception among both the supporters and opponents of Bitcoin that it is an untraceable and anonymous currency. This is not the case. Bitcoin is a public ledger, meaning that all transactions are publicly visible and directly traceable. It's not even anonymous, only pseudo-anonymous, meaning that while addresses are not directly tied to any particular individual, user activity can still be directly tracked through these addresses. This also means that if these addresses can be linked to you in any way - for example after depositing some BTC onto an exchange that has your info - then all transactions involving that address can also be linked to you. True anonymity requires that no individual users can be identified amongst the crowd, something which Bitcoin does not achieve. This is also true for most other cryptocurrencies as well. Someone who is looking for anonymity, privacy, and untraceability would instead want to use mixing tools such as [CoinJoin](https://coinatmradar.com/) for BTC or [Tornado cash](https://tornado.cash/) for ETH, or a privacy-oriented currency such as [Dash](https://www.dash.org/), [Zcash](https://z.cash/), or best of all, [Monero](https://www.getmonero.org/), which hides the sender, receiver, and amount of every transaction. All of these privacy-coins also have much lower fees and confirmation times, and are better for the environment. But you definitely should *not* use these, because using such currencies will weaken the state's parasitic grip on currency and general finance, something which would be *absolutely terrible*. Definitely do *not* use tools such as [localmonero](https://localmonero.co/?language=en), [crypto atms](https://coinatmradar.com/), or [Bisq](https://bisq.network/) in order to obtain these currencies, do *not* contribute to the strength and decentralization of these projects (while simultaneously earning money) by [mining](https://www.getmonero.org/get-started/mining/) them, and most importantly do *not* research these terms to learn more.
