As far as I can see the only real point of cryptocurrencies is anonymity and Monero does that better than all of them- certainly better than Bitcoin. I'd never heard of it until 5 minutes ago when I checked so I could answer your question. I note that it went up 2760% last year- should have checked earlier. Checking again- it's gone up another zillion % this year. US50c at the beginning of 2016- US$280 now. But they are all far too irrationally exuberant at this stage of the cycle for my blood. Are any of them worth anything? |

Cheers guys! ... we certainly live in interesting times!
I have no doubt that some of the platforms will have great uptake, and value, and some will go the way of My Space ... just like buying a yearling!

Litecoin currently $190.00 AUD, up around 22% in the last 12 hours or so.
I don’t know why the sudden rush to buy this Crypto to push the price up to this level however I am not complaining! Why??? (from another source) ..... “Some are saying that money is moving from BTC. Others are saying it's just undervalued (which I happen to agree with, but my opinion is not that valuable at this stage) and yet another theory is that Litecoin is apparently doing some campaigning/adverstising... and at a good time to do it.” |

ASX to use blockchain to handle share transactionsPublished: December 7 2017 - 10:54AM Australia's main stock exchange has announced one of the finance industry's biggest bets yet on blockchain. ASX Ltd will start using blockchain - the ledger software that makes bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies possible - to process equity transactions, according to a statement on Thursday. Digital Asset Holdings, the start-up run by former JPMorgan Chase & Co banker Blythe Masters, will supply the technology. "We're the first exchange to consider taking this step," said Peter Hiom, ASX deputy chief executive said on a media conference call. Blockchain is massively hyped and banks have conducted myriad tests of the ledger technology, with few live deployments. Proponents tout it as a more efficient and less expensive way to track trades. Embrace technology"It surprises me that ASX is doing it ahead of other big exchanges," said Nader Naeimi, Sydney-based head of dynamic markets at AMP Capital Investors. "When the technology becomes available, you have to embrace it." No date for the shift has been announced for replacing ASX's Clearing House Electronic Subregister System, known as Chess, however it should be operational for market feedback at the end of March. The timing of its final implementation would depend on consultation with stakeholders, the ASX said. Blockchain is a shared, verifiable and permanent record of data that is maintained by a network of computers. The new technology would let customers lower costs and introduce new services from the real-time post-trade data, Mr Hiom said. The system would be designed without access barriers to non-affiliated market operators and clearing and settlement facilities. It would also give ASX customers choice over how they used its post-trade services. "The Chess system's been around since the '90s," said Gareth James, an analyst at Morningstar. "Imagine if you're using any software on your PC from the '90s?" Marginal costChess was scheduled to be upgraded even before the exchange had considered blockchain, ASX chief executive Dominic Stevens said. ASX therefore viewed the switch as a "marginal cost" that would be part of the company's capital expenditure program, he said. "The costs in rolling out this system I don't think are too dissimilar to us having rolled out a traditional system," Mr Stevens said on the call. The exchange also invested more in Digital Asset, bringing the total raised by the start-up from investors including JPMorgan and CME Group to more than $US115 million ($152 million), according to a statement from the firm. ASX bought a minority stake in Digital Asset through a $14.9 million investment in January last year, to design a new post-trade solution for the Australian equity market. "After so much hype surrounding distributed ledger technology, today's announcement delivers the first meaningful proof that the technology can live up to its potential," Ms Masters, Digital Asset's chief executive, said in a statement. ASX shares rose as much as 1.5 per cent in early trading, and were 1.4 per cent higher at $57.76 as at 12.27 p.m. in Sydney, the highest since January 2008.

Not suggesting it is this case but North Korea has been trying to hack and steal Bitcoin and other cryptos for some time Some believe they have been successful.

3 words..... New World Order. American dollars aren’t worth the paper their printed on. Follow where the Rothschilds & George Soros put they’re money. Creating market chaos and smashing the American dollar is the name of the game.

Hasn’t the internet democratized information? Someone can promote their views widely without getting buy-in from editors or other gatekeepers? That’s what Trump has done with Twitter. One really important thing that’s happened is that reputations don’t seem to matter as much at this point in history. Maybe it will come back. You have news media that have developed their reputation for honesty and integrity. And something that’s gone viral is a conspiracy theory that the news media, the mainstream media, are in a conspiracy, and it’s embellished in crazy ways like the Rothschilds or George Soros, or somebody, are in a conspiracy to destroy America and have bought the media and are controlling them. Those are the extreme, crazy forms of the narrative. Robert Shiller WASHINGTON – In a recent interview to FOX News billionaire
philanthropist and investor claimed that the Bitcoin bubble was about to
bust soon. When asked why he thought that was most likely, he said one
word “money laundering”. His assertion was that regulators were about to
end the restraint they’ve had with Cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin can be
transferred anywhere in the world within 10 minutes and its value was
expected to go unto $100,000. https://channel24news.com/2017/07/george-soros-bitcoin-crash-imminent/ |

Bloody frustrating game this one!!! ... just waiting for my Bpay deposit to process, so I can get some Litecoin in the wallet, is costing me every minute!
Doing very nicely Rosscoe, > $210 now!
You would think there was a better faster, more secure and transparent means of transferring currency, wouldn't you ... So BTC Markets only trade in the majors Rosscoe? ... who would you use for a punt on Stellar Lumens? |

Coinspot if you want to pay way overs for it. Kraken for the best price but then you have the problem of funding it with US$ and verifying id. |

Dr E, Tiz is correct with Coinspot & fees are way over others around. BTC Markets is one of the best around however only plays with the big guns, like Litecoin. Be patient with the transfer, if you use POLi you can deposit more quickly.
See link of exchanges below:- the choice is widespread. Refer to Index at the bottom of link for further details. https://www.finder.com.au/cryptocurrency/exchanges |

Common sense got to me Whale. If the ASX have been doing their due diligence for 2 years, and are have announced their decision to move their transaction clearance to the blockchain technology, guess who's been responsible the recent run on cryptocurrency ... and it ain't uninformed mug punters like you and me ... only a matter of time before the banks and big financial institutions work out how best for them to move as well. I'm not going overboard, just risking what I can afford to lose.

Success of blockchain doesn't have to have anything to do with success of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is merely the first app that used blockchain. Bitcoin may be worthless by the end of next year but blockchain will still be a huge success. |

Dr E will go straight to the top of nerd class if he manages to buy Stellar Lumens in Australia.
I would buy Bitcoin on the Australian exchange you are already id verified and active on with POLI, then transfer them to a crypto exchange like Changelly.com, then swap the Bitcoin for Stellar Lumen. |

South Korea has outlawed trading in Bitcoin futures. The thin edge of the wedge ? Perhaps significant, as SK accounts for something over 20% of Bitcoin trades.

The $2,000 per day (at least initially) limit on deposits is quite irritating. What kind of person comes up with such a tiny amount? I deposited twice that amount in cash to my TAB account at a tiny pub in south west Brisbane when running a play a few weeks ago for Christ sake! |

Yes $2k initially E&E, there are other levels for those that want to invest more via EFT .... Levels 2 & 3 upgrades - Level 2 allows $8k & Level 3 allows $20k to be deposited. Just a matter of clicking on the “increase limit”! |

Yes but it seems you need some kind of Trading history to upgrade. My request to upgrade was rejected almost immediately. But even $8k or $20k is peanuts. Why the low amounts? They have done a full ID check and can easily meet AUSTRAC requirements. |

Litecoin $300 ... still no available funds, now I'm starting to really get a bit pissy! Rosscoe, fantastic call. Your original dabble owes you nothing, so what's your call now?
