Are we excited yet?

Fetch.ai, which is my biggest bag these days (athlo only just ahead of ETH) setting up lovely the last week on its chart, and hopefully going to take off across the next few days.

Cointelegraph wrote an article just for you:

It appears stakers are getting around 5.4%, which more or less is in line with what you get for staking on exchanges.

That's a pretty low return, I thought it might have been higher. Not much incentive for people to stake when there are better rewards to be had elsewhere, not to mention more liquid alternatives.

Interesting thanks, fairly dull return after tax though, plus the electricity on the hardware, and it probably goes down if your Internet drops, which mine seems to do an awful lot even though I'm in the middle of Limerick or Bray all the time.

When ETH 2.0 staking popped up on Coinbase I looked at it and noticed in the small print it says there is no way to get it back out yet. They said we expect that functionality to come sometime next year.

At the moment with everything flying and a good chance for profit taking it's not a great time to have it locked in, never mind if I had 32 to run a node.

Loopring is drunk. Up 3x in a week. Lucky I grabbed a (very small, sadly) bag of it before this happened. Still, as a bit of a new person to all of this some success is nice.

Fazorb · 10-11-2021 11:18AM

Any one got involved in staking Dot for the Parachains Auctions?

Locking my Dot for 2 yrs is putting me off.

Grabbed myself some more LRC last night. I had noticed in the past few days there was usually a (small) dip between midnight and 2am, and like clockwork it happened so I loaded up to get myself to a set number of LRC I said I'd be happy with. Decided to use a combination of cash and also, something I never thought I'd do, converted some of my BTC into it. I'm happy with what I have at the moment and will sit on it for a few years. Fingers crossed!

Kiith · 10-11-2021 11:55AM

I moved some ETH into it this morning and its up 20% or so, which i'm obviously delighted with. All my money in ETH and LRC now.

Yeah I bought lrc and chain link from this thread and both doing great. I only dabble but it’s nice to see :)

Green&Red · 10-11-2021 01:21PM

Why the big push on Loopring?

Up 800% in the last month

Tango One · 10-11-2021 01:37PM

LRC has some connections with GME, I reckon GME profits pouring into LRC, followed by fomo money from the likes of Shiba, 10 billion mc looks very possible in the short term.

The rumour behind the LRC movements is that Gamestop is partnering with LoopRing for it's NFT store. I don't know how valid it is and there are no formal announcements but the former head of business for LoopRing is now leading the Gamestop blockchain project.

There were mentions of GameStop in some part of Loopring's code or the website code or something, or else mentions of Loopring in GameStops's website code, I'm not 100% sure. Matthew Finestone, the previous Head of Business for Loopring joined GameStop this year as their Head of Blockchain and described it as a "once in a lifetime opportunity" and GameStop will be launching an NFT marketplace at some point either this year or next year. All the strings tie together to suggest (although this is not confirmed, so do not take it as 100% truth) that GameStop will launch their NFT marketplace using Loopring as it all but eliminates gas fees and can process 4,000 transactions per second, making NFTs more accessible.

It's still relatively early, and the general public hasn't caught on to much of this yet. There's still a ton of room for growth.

Shoulda woulda coulda with LRC, split a small ambitious pot into LRC and three meme coins ELON, LEASH and CATGIRL last week. Needless to say LRC outperformed all and should have put it all into LRC.

wotzgoingon · 10-11-2021 02:27PM

IOTX up again.

ScissorPaperRock · 10-11-2021 03:02PM

Bought a small amount of LRC yesterday, regretting not buying more. Hopefully there will be some kind of correction after this intense rise.

Where are you all buying? I bought on Crypto.com but the spread seemed high. It didn't seem to be available on Coinbase or Binance.

massdebater · 10-11-2021 03:02PM

Sold 20% of my LRC today for twice what I paid for the whole lot a few weeks ago. All proceeds going towards a holiday next year. Hopefully the other 80% continues its run!

I put a few DOT into Acala. 2 years is a long time, but it's not an amount that will affect me if I can't access it.

That said, with Acala you can supply in 'liquid' form, so that you will receive a token for the value of the locked DOT that you can use on their platform during the lock period. The drawback is that you're giving them custodial access to the DOT.
