Bonjour,
J'offre un service de distribution de token.
En echange de 1% de tokens + Le cout de distribution

EOS is sitting on a huge amount of ETH after their ICO, and it seams like they migh be using some of this ETH
to attack the Ethereum blockchain making it unusable by increasing the gas price
process called sybil attack : https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=34470

So basically, they send shitcoins worth few cents but they pay a lot of gas for these shitcoins,
some of the tokens that might have been involved in this attack:

Based on token classification




As you can see, the simple fact that steem are using a native token while kin are not, classifies the tokens differently.

Steem is a utility token: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=34455
Kin is a security token: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=34456

Based on the different types of tokens

Steem is classified as a utility token

Classification of tokens based on different perspectives:



Purpose. What is the token’s main purpose? What is it designed to do? This dimension illustrates why the people who call any token a cryptocurrency err. Tokens can certainly be intended as a cryptocurrency. But often they are meant to enable a specific network and catalyze its growth (network tokens) or merely present a way to invest in an entity or asset (investment token).

Utility. The term “utility token” has become commonplace¹ but there are various types. When looking at different tokens, you’ll find many approaches to creating utility for token owners. But on an abstract level, there are two major ways to provide utility: by giving access to network or service features (usage tokens) or by allowing token holders to actively contribute work to the system (work tokens). Some tokens do both (hybrid tokens) and some tokens don’t provide any utility at all².

Legal Status. The legal perspective is extremely relevant as of now, so it is reflected in the framework. The category’s content, however, is expected to change quite a bit in the upcoming months as it is a volatile environment and more regulation is expected to emerge. Moreover, every jurisdiction can differ. The general outline of the current state in multiple countries is that tokens which aren’t clearly a utility token — i.e. a means to access features of a network/service — or which aren’t a pure cryptocurrency can easily be classified as a security token by regulators. In some jurisdictions, such as Germany, there is some definition by regulators as to what constitutes a cryptocurrency. Several cases we found hover between two types, due to fact that current legal frameworks have been created before tokens existed and most haven’t been updated so far. (This isn’t legal advice.)

Underlying Value. Most tokens are created to have a monetary value. But the sources of their value differ considerably. Some basically work as IOUs to a real-world asset which they are tied to (asset-backed tokens). Others showcase stock-like properties as they are linked to the commercial success of the issuing entity. Those share-like tokens would be regarded as securities in most jurisdictions (actual enforcement by the regulator is a different subject). Finally, there are tokens which are tied to the value of a network, not a central entity (network value tokens). The latter might be the hardest to wrap one’s head around and the most interesting value source at the same time.

Technical Layer. Tokens can be implemented on different technical layers of blockchain-based systems: on the blockchain level as the chain’s native token (blockchain-native tokens), as part of a cryptoeconomic protocol that sits on top of the blockchain (non-native protocol tokens), or on the application level ((d)App tokens).


The different options each of the above classifications has:

Financial services giant Mastercard was awarded several new blockchain patents this week, continuing its trend of embracing distributing ledger research even as it expresses open hostility to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, one particular patent is raising eyebrows.

The patent, awarded by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on Thursday, outlines a system that facilitates anonymous transactions over a blockchain network. Mastercard first applied for the patent in Dec. 2016.

According to Mastercard, the transparent nature of ordinary blockchain transactions is a hindrance to this technology’s adoption for everyday payments. That’s true for both businesses and consumers.

An individual, for instance, may want to purchase a gift for a significant other without the recipient being tipped off to the details of the transaction. Moreover, most businesses would not be too keen on providing competitors and other third-parties with real-time data such as transaction volume.

From the patent:

    “Thus, there is a need for a technical solution whereby an entity may participate in a transaction where transaction details may be posted publicly to ensure accountability and trust in the data, while still providing anonymity and inability of others to track individual transactions or volume information by transaction party identifying information of both parties of a transaction to satisfy the confidentiality needs of each entity involved in the transaction.”

what do you think ?

If you visit any cryptocurrency exchange, you will always see an add a token/coin link

some exchanges do that for free, like EtherDelta & Forkdelta

others are sneaky about it, they don't tell you real price or don't even mention a price.

here's what to expect for listing a coin or token:

- HitBTC > roughly 40 BTC - yeah between $300 000 - $400 000
- Yobit > roughly 4 BTC

will add more as i get more data
