They keep having a hard time trying to break through and hold at $9. Kicking myself on OMG, only had bought a small amount since I was too wrapped up with Neo. Hoping for some kind of temp pullback to add a few more OMG.

Yeah, the crypto world is crazy like that.
I still have a sizable stash, not enough to buy a node however, I'm debating whether I want to drop enough to get myself one. I'll see if it drops a bit from here.
Definitely, I'm quite satisfied with my portfolio at the moment so I'm holding...for now. If we reach some breakthrough I might jump back in but I'll just wait for now.
If you have that much, you probably will get some nice returns down the line. Good for you!

Damn dude. Sorry to hear your story. Must be pretty damn horrific knowing you just lost it all forever at the click of a mouse.
However, take the bad and learn from it. Don't abandon crypto because there's good money to be made. Hope you didn't lose money you needed for surviving. If you're hitting a rough patch I'll be glad to send you some $$$ so drop me a PM. All the best!

Na, i have nothing against bitfinex. Just no need for an account there till now.

OMG and ADX are fluttering. Hope they can hold.
Going to sleep will be nervous!

Who knows, maybe even Tezos or Zen could be contenders
Yeah i have definitely learned from this experience. It really is horrifying when you think about just how much money one could lose this way.
I have sent the original passphrase to a mod on reddit but i doubt he will get anywhere with it and if he doesn't i will make the passphrase public and hope someone is able to get those coins as that would make me a thousand times happier than letting those coins sit in some wallet for all of eternity.
Edit: that awesome mod probably found the problem, will test when at home. If it works it comes down to me and my dutch brain being stupid as there is a word in dutch and english that is 99.9% the same but the english version has an extra letter at the end.
So it is probably a good ending afterall.

How are you guys feeling about ARK? Its been in steady decline almost since reaching that crazy peak.

What are the best ones for long term? I want sit on them for 1-2 years. No plan to be a day trader.
I have neo and omg and some ark.

csquared: What do you expect? Steady climb all the time? Look at the past development of btc or etc. Ups and downs all the time. If the project is solid and doesn't just feed on hype and empty promises, the good coins are going to gain. Probably not every one like neo in the past month or eth in the last three month but enough for some good if you went in early.

Hope you can get access to your wallet. Keep us posted
I just came home and tested it and i have gotten the access to my wallet back
.This amazing mod really helped me out.
Turns out that when you import with an incorrect passphrase it will just give a new adres anyways and that is just how the system works. What this did for me though was convince myself that my passphrase was correct and that the client must have given me a mismatched account.
What happened was that i wrote down the entire passphrase but a single word in there is 99.9% the same in Dutch as it is in English but the English variant has an extra letter and my Dutch ass brain must not have processed this.
The word was ''success'' in case you were wondering. It's written as ''succes'' in Dutch.
I really appreciated that alot of you were feeling for me and were giving me tips on how to prevent things like this from happening again.
Gaf is awesome.

For the guys with PAY tokens, what do you use to store them? I think I read somewhere that MyEtherWallet supports PAY... can I transfer the PAY tokens to the same address I store my Ethers or do I need to create a new address? Or do you guys use a different wallet?
This may be the reason Bitfinex is exiting the US market:
https://hackernoon.com/the-curious-tale-of-tethers-6b0031eead87
https://medium.com/@bitfinexed/are-fraudulent-tethers-being-used-for-margin-lending-on-bitfinex-5de9dd80f330
I don't fully understand how this works, probably because I am quite inexperienced when it comes to margin trading, but I'll try to summarize. These articles allege that Bitfinex, which controls Tether, created at least $80 million worth of Tether out of thin air, based on nothing at all, and then immediately used that to fund margin long trades with themselves, primarily on Bitcoin, thereby contributing to, if not outright causing the current price explosion in Bitcoin since July.
My understanding is that all of this would be illegal in the US in a regulated market. If the information in the articles is correct, when this Tether house of cards comes crashing down, it could spark quite a correction in all crypto assets. This is something that everyone should keep an eye on.

Congrats! That's a load of your mind to say the least. It's always reassuring that there're still people looking out for others. I also had a very funny (because it ended well) incident with ARK.
When I registered with a delegate, instead of sending just 1 ARK for my voting, I sent ALL my ARK (around 1000) to the mining pool. When I saw what I did I was pretty much banging my head against the wall.
Well, I went to reddit too and asked on the mining pool page what I could do. Turns out the admin of the pool sent them back to me within a few hours. So lucky! That pretty much solidified my trust around ARK and its community.
Great to hear man. Can't imagine the stress.I just came home and tested it and i have gotten the access to my wallet back

Also the passphrase thing sounds like something that would totally happen to me.
Wow, this would be quite a big deal.
Yeah the community seems really great. The mod that helped me also happened to be a delegate so i cast my vote on him as a sign of appreciation.
Haha yeah i really do feel relieved now and feel a bit stupid but at the same time can't believe it happened. I must have triple checked the entire passphrase and still that went past me.

Awesome. Makes me feel good about getting into the Ark wallet when I finish up this road trip.
You mean there is a chance to stock up on NEO for 1 $ per coin soon? Yeah !
Damn, if there is truth to it, we are in for a wild ride.
Also congrats Brohan. If i'm reading it right, you aren't using a Passwordmanager (keepass,lastpass,1pass etc)? Would get lost pretty fast without one in the crypto world.
Guess I should hold off dumping more funds into crypto for now. My 300 dollars worth of play money will have to make do.

Like, how big of a correction we talking? Will this hit only a specific set of coins, or is everyone gonna get hit if this is true?
You really think DGB is going to take off?

It was once 6 cents, so I'm hoping the rebrand triggers SOME growth.
When is the rebrand happening?
Cirekiller

Thanks man. By the time they have a break through its gonna be pretty expensive to jump back, but I guess that comes with the territory. I thought about dumping another BTC into it after it fell below 250 sat but decided against it. A minor regret but it happens.
If all of this is true, and US authorities fine or seize Tether and Bitfinex, then it could be something like a 30% correction. I imagine all crypto would be affected, as the Tether-supported wash trading was probably not limited to just Bitcoin. Too early to say. Just be ready to move if something bad happens to Bitfinex, or if it mysteriously goes offline.

This week or next supposedly
For those interested in NEO, this article attempts to explore the current state of its technology and is worth a read: http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/08/17/neo-chinas-fake-matrix
Their conclusion is that NEO is not a public blockchain in its current implementation, but rather a private blockchain wholly controlled by the NEO team, and that NEO's current blockchain security model makes it impossible to transition it to a public blockchain.
This raises some more red flags for me, but whether you care about this or not is up to you.

ADX going insane
wow
wow
Ok thanks. Might buy in again with a small amount.
My wallet took a bit of a hit today due to ARK going down... but I hope that it bounces back soon
Was going to buy some more because it is low now.. just hope that it wasn't a regular pump and dump.
A Bitfinex developer has been responding to a post about the allegations, but is declining to clear up any details other than to say that Tether has hired a law firm to audit Tether's balance sheet: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6uarbw/so_whats_the_subs_opinion_on_this_finex_and/
