I thought it would be really cool to have an ultimate guide for those new to crypto currencies and the terms used. I made this mostly for beginner’s and veterans alike. I’m not sure how much use you will get out of this. Stuff gets lost on Reddit quite easily so I hope this finds its way to you. Included in this list, I have included most of the terms used in crypto-communities. I have compiled this list from a multitude of sources. The list is in alphabetical order and may include some words/terms not exclusive to the crypto world but may be helpful regardless.
2FA
Two factor authentication. I highly advise that you use it.
51% Attack:
A situation where a single malicious individual or group gains control of more than half of a cryptocurrency network’s computing power. Theoretically, it could allow perpetrators to manipulate the system and spend the same coin multiple times, stop other users from completing blocks and make conflicting transactions to a chain that could harm the network.
Address (or Addy):
A unique string of numbers and letters (both upper and lower case) used to send, receive or store cryptocurrency on the network. It is also the public key in a pair of keys needed to sign a digital transaction. Addresses can be shared publicly as a text or in the form of a scannable QR code. They differ between cryptocurrencies. You can’t send Bitcoin to an Ethereum address, for example.
Altcoin (alternative coin): Any digital currency other than Bitcoin. These other currencies are alternatives to Bitcoin regarding features and functionalities (e.g. faster confirmation time, lower price, improved mining algorithm, higher total coin supply). There are hundreds of altcoins, including Ether, Ripple, Litecoin and many many others.
AIRDROP:
An event where the investors/participants are able to receive free tokens or coins into their digital wallet.
AML: Defines Anti-Money Laundering laws**.**
ARBITRAGE:
Getting risk-free profits by trading (simultaneous buying and selling of the cryptocurrency) on two different exchanges which have different prices for the same asset.
Ashdraked:
Being Ashdraked is essentially a more detailed version of being Zhoutonged. It is when you lose all of your invested capital, but you do so specifically by shorting Bitcoin. The expression “Ashdraked” comes from a story of a Romanian cryptocurrency investor who insisted upon shorting BTC, as he had done so successfully in the past. When the price of BTC rose from USD 300 to USD 500, the Romanian investor lost all of his money.
ATH (All Time High):
The highest price ever achieved by a cryptocurrency in its entire history. Alternatively, ATL is all time low

He is now in the mentally ill meme hall of fame.
Block:
A package of permanently recorded data about transactions occurring every time period (typically about 10 minutes) on the blockchain network. Once a record has been completed and verified, it goes into a blockchain and gives way to the next block. Each block also contains a complex mathematical puzzle with a unique answer, without which new blocks can’t be added to the chain.
Blockchain:
An unchangeable digital record of all transactions ever made in a particular cryptocurrency and shared across thousands of computers worldwide. It has no central authority governing it. Records, or blocks, are chained to each other using a cryptographic signature. They are stored publicly and chronologically, from the genesis block to the latest block, hence the term blockchain. Anyone can have access to the database and yet it remains incredibly difficult to hack.
Bullish:
A tendency of prices to rise; an optimistic expectation that a specific cryptocurrency will do well and its value is going to increase.

Dapp (decentralized application):
An open-source application that runs and stores its data on a blockchain network (instead of a central server) to prevent a single failure point. This software is not controlled by the single body – information comes from people providing other people with data or computing power.
Decentralized:
A system with no fundamental control authority that governs the network. Instead, it is jointly managed by all users to the system.
Desktop wallet:
A wallet that stores the private keys on your computer, which allow the spending and management of your bitcoins.
DILDO:
Long red or green candles. This is a crypto signal that tells you that it is not favorable to trade at the moment. Found on candlestick charts.
Digital Signature:
An encrypted digital code attached to an electronic document to prove that the sender is who they say they are and confirm that a transaction is valid and should be accepted by the network.

Fiat currency is legal tender whose value is backed by the government that issued it, such as the US dollar or UK pound.
Fork:
A split in the blockchain, resulting in two separate branches, an original and a new alternate version of the cryptocurrency. As a single blockchain forks into two, they will both run simultaneously on different parts of the network. For example, Bitcoin Cash is a Bitcoin fork.
FOMO:

Frictionless:
A system is frictionless when there are zero transaction costs or trading retraints.
FUD:
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt regarding the crypto market.

Hey guys, total n00b here, so be gentle.
I made the mistake of investing in 3D printing back in 2012 at the peak and have lost about 80% of that investment. It's only a small portion of my total holdings, so I've pretty much assumed this is all lost. Have about $550 in holdings I'm looking to reinvest in crypto. See it as a high-risk, high-reward area I can recoup my losses as well as get my toes wet in the new tech (which I am finding may not be a total sham).
Looking for suggestions for where to begin. Open to any and all feedback. Please and thank you!

The easiest way to trade Bitcoin is at WazirX - Bitcoin Exchange for India
WazirX is the most trusted Indian and global crypto exchange which is partner of Binance exchange, world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by daily trading volume. More than 100 cryptocoins available in WazirX exchange.
It has low trading fees and you can pay the trading fees in WRX(native coin of WazirX exchange). INR deposits available through UPI/IMPS/NEFT and RTGS. There is no fees and limit for INR deposit. Minimum withdrawal is Rs. 1000 upto Rs. 5 lakh per transaction. No fees for INR withdrawal as well.
Now WazirX exchange is available globally also. You can trade Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies at WazirX if you are residing outside India too.

Fungibility
Sending 1 "tainted" Nano to Binance hot wallet would "wash" it by making it meld with all other coins in the wallet. Same as Bitcoin. However, up to the point of sending, that 1 Nano had a history which can be used by an exchange or any other entity to treat it differently which is the matter that defines fungibility.
When you pick up a dollar bill on the street, you have no idea where it went before. That bill is fungible.
When you pick up any cryptocoin other than Monero and it's clones, and move it to your wallet, with that coin (technically, with that UTXO) you have it's complete history: complete history of movement from one wallet to another, from the moment it was mined, to the end of the world (or a coin burning event). Even if coins aren't yours, you can still track their movement. Nano bounds to this rule as well as 99.9% all other coins.
NANO had solved the problem of consensus (DAG), the problem of PoW (making it completely distributed), and the problem of distribution. NANO had also solved the problem of coin creation, by (metaphorically speaking) closing the Chamber of Guf, and not allowing any new coins/souls to be created.
On the other hand, Monero (XMR) had solved the problem of practical fungibility, at the cost of complexity and practical scalability problems. Non-mining nodes aren't incentivized to waste bandwidth, disk space, and CPU power to decrypt blocks for third parties. Bandwidth use and processing power would impose a great cost on nodes. Using remote nodes breaks some of the privacy. It's not easy to use Monero for quick purchases in close succession. It's impossible to "stream money" using Monero. And it's blockchain always grows. There's no UTXO set, no possibility of storing just the UTXOs instead of whole chain.
Bitcoin's Lightning Network is extremely complex and requires paying on-chain fees for opening and closing of channels. The channels themselves are volatile, unstable, and require trusting "watchtowers" not to lose balance. As Bitcoin's usage grows, fees will skyrocket and make using it impossible.
Therefore, making NANO fungible, I think, would be the most important thing in history of money. Because we will finally have actual digital cash, where each transaction is immediate, final and irreversible, scalable to the entire world.

Hi everyone!
I have a crazy idea: I'm going to let Reddit pick a basket of cryptocoins for me, which I'll then buy with my own money. Specifically, depending on the number of suggestions and upvotes received, I will invest $20-$25 each in between 10 and 20 coins. Voting will close in two weeks, at midnight Eastern Time on May 1, 2018.
The purpose of this thread is to pick the coins. Suggest a coin in the comments below--only one coin per comment, though. If you name more than one coin in a comment, then only the first one you name counts. Your comment should also include a link to the coin's page on CoinMarketCap, and a brief explanation for why you think I should pick it. So, ideally, your reply will look something like this:

I think you should pick Bitcoin because it's the biggest one.

Additionally, here are a few rules for the coins that will be included:

1. The coin (or token) must be available from major exchange (e.g., Binance, Kraken, KuCoin, TradeSatoshi, or similar).
   
2. The coin may not make obviously fraudulent statements on its website (e.g., "Turn lead into platinum! Earn 40% in profit per month, guaranteed!")
   
3. The coin must not be designed for what is in my judgment an immoral purpose (e.g., propping up the Venezuelan government, enabling state surveillance by authoritarian governments, funding ISIS, etc.)
   
4. This post must get at least 50 upvotes, and receive at least 20 suggestions before I will buy anything.
   
5. I will pick the coins based on the suggestions and upvotes submitted as of 12am EDT on May 2, 2018.
   

So, tell me, what should I buy?
Edit: I should have added, I promise to hold anything I buy for at least 3 months, and to post updates at least monthly for the duration of the experiment.
Edit2: Number of upvotes required lowered from 200 to 50--to be clear, that's 50 upvotes for the whole post, not for individual comments. Right now, it's nowhere near that, though.
Edit3: OMFGWTFBBQ, I am not asking anyone to do research for me; I'm asking to be shilled. I'm going to be researching all of the top-voted suggestions to make sure that they comply with Rules 1-3 above. If you don't like this idea or this post, that's fine, but please be clear that I'm doing this for fun only. I'm not expecting this to be a serious money-making investment--if this makes money, then great; if it doesn't, oh well. I make my own decisions when making serious investments, using my own independent research. This isn't that.

Here goes. This is all for jokes, if you have a better description or one is missing, just comment and I'll add it in ;)

#1 - What is WAVES?

WAVES: The Basics

• WAVES is decentralized, blockchain based platform, which can be used for trading and various other exchanges. The platform is fueled by the cryptocurrency of the same name - WAVES.
• It allows not only usage of various other cryptocurrencies for transactions but also give you the option of creating your own customized cryptocurrency using this platform. It also allows the usage of Smart Contracts.
• The transactions on this platform can be done using the chosen token, but the fees of the transaction have to be paid using the WAVES cryptocoins.
• WAVES was created by the Russian physicist, Alexander Ivanov, and officially launched in November 2016. Creation of own crypto-coins and Decentralized Apps (DApps) has been possible ever since the launch of the network.

#2 - What are the Benefits of Waves?

Technology:

• The Waves platform uses the language Scala, and uses the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus model. It uses an algorithm - WAVES-NG - to ensure safe gateways and fast transactions. It has incorporated not only other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but fiat currencies as well.
• The transactions are currently done using peer-to-peer transactions, which ensure that there is no middle-man involved.
• Like other cryptocurrencies, Waves is a blockchain based platform, which ensures that network is decentralized and not constrained to a single server, and is available for all to view. The information is stored in ledgers, and cannot be modified or deleted.
• Waves not only allows building of own crypto tokens but also allows you to store them in your own wallet. The wallet also allows you to store other tokens, as well as provides safe gateways to fiat currencies. Smart Contracts can be used for transactional processes. They allow users to set terms for the contracts, and the contracts are only executed when the conditions have been met. While the contracts are Non-Turing unlike Ethereum, they are a safe way to ensure that all parties involved delivering.

Transactional Process:

• WAVES provides a safe method for trading, currency exchange, and other transactions by the usage of Smart-Contracts, which are executed only when the terms given are completed. Smart Contracts cannot be changed without the consent of both parties.
• DEX, or Decentralized Exchanges can function using the WAVES platform. This allows for other cryptocurrencies to be exchanged for WAVES tokens, and even exchange between different cryptocurrencies as well. The funds are transferred to the wallet and allows for transactions and withdrawals at will.
• Creation of tokens can be done using the WAVES platform. These tokens can be used in the ecosystem that you have created them for, and all transactions can be done using them. However, transaction fees have to be paid using the WAVES cryptocurrency.

Adoption:

• According to Forbes, WAVES will soon become the fastest decentralized platform internationally. This alone speaks volumes about its application in the corporate world.
• DEX itself can be used for various exchanges. It ensures that the information is not kept only on one server, but is distributed to the public. It allows for cheaper and fixed rates and ensures that the transactions are done quickly.
• Smart Contracts ensure that no party is at loss during the deal. Creation of own cryptocurrency with fixed values for fiat currency can be used to create a virtual ecosystem, and the tokens can be exchanged for rewards or money.
• Use of peer-to-peer transaction ensures that the need of a middle man, and the unnecessary cost associated with them, is eliminated.

Value Proposition:

1. Waves has become popular as it allows the creation of new cryptocurrencies on its platform. This can be used to create many self-sustaining ecosystems, as well as reward systems.
2. It is a fast and safe method for transactions and exchange. Usage of Smart Contracts, peer-to-peer transactions, and DEX ensures that all transactions are recorded.
3. Usage of gateways for fiat currency ensures that the transactions between crypto and fiat currency is done securely.
4. Waves has its own wallet which enables users to store both the existing cryptocurrencies, as well as the cryptocurrencies created by them.

#3 - How to Buy and Store WAVES?

How to buy Waves

1. WAVES can be purchased from major cryptocurrency exchanges Bittrex, Binance, by using both fiat currency and using cryptocurrencies like BTC and Ethereum. It is, however, most often paired with other cryptocurrencies, making fiat purchases difficult.
2. CoinSwitch, best cryptocurrency trading platform is an ideal resource to exchange your cryptocurrencies for WAVES, as it shows multiple exchange rates, allowing the user to select the best possible option, as well as allows storage of virtual currency in one’s own wallet.
3. Exchange and purchase of WAVES can also be done using the WAVES platform, which provides a safe gateway.

Storing Waves

WAVES has its own wallet, which goes by the fairly obvious name of Waves Wallet. It allows for storage of not only the WAVES Token, but also one’s own cryptocurrencies. It also allows incorporation of other popular cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.

#4 - What is the future of Waves?

WAVES is well on its way to becoming one of the more popular cryptocurrencies. It has many benefits, including usage of the WAVES platform to create own tokens, which makes it a good choice for the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems.
Companies such as Microsoft are willing to use the WAVES platform on Azure. Other partners include Deloitte and National Settlement Deposit.

Can anyone please check and tell me if my steps are correct to buy cryptocoins. First i have to buy bitcoin from coinbase then transfer it to gdax and then to binance ( to save transfer charges ) and then buy coins at binance and transfer it to my wallet. Right? And then in the future when i'm selling i should transfer it to Qaudrigacx and sell. As i'm in Canada.

Wenn Sie sich gerade entschieden haben, in die Welt der Kryptowährungen einzusteigen, müssen Sie einen wichtigen Aspekt kennenlernen, der weitaus wichtiger ist als Ihre Trading-Fähigkeiten und das ist Sicherheit! Ethereum, Bitcoin und alle anderen Kryptos werden in digitalen Cloud-wallets aufbewahrt oder auf Ihrem Computer hinterlegt.
Cold storage könnte die beste Option für Sie sein.
Cold Storage in der Krypto-Währungsindustrie bezieht sich auf einen sicheren Weg, um Ihre Kryptos, eine sichere Offline-Methode zu halten. Wenn Sie Ihre digitalen coins vom Internetzugang fernhalten, werden die Bedrohungen deutlich reduziert und die Möglichkeit dass jemand Ihre Kryptoreserve stehlen könnte es ist deutlich minimiert. Um mehr auf den Punkt zu bringen, im Gegensatz zu Hot Wallets, wo Ihr privater Schlüssel online gespeichert ist und vollständig von der Serviceplattform bedient wird, Cold Wallets speichert Ihren privaten Schlüssel offline und wird in den meisten Fällen manuell bedient.
Hot Wallets repräsentieren einen sich verändernden Markt, da sie einfach zu erstellen und zu behalten sind, aber für ihre Anfälligkeit gegenüber Cyberkriminalität berüchtigt sind.
Hier eine Liste mit einigen der beliebtesten:

• Blockchain Crypto Company
• Binance
• BitStempel
• BitBond
• Bitfinex

Wenn man sich auf Cold Storage Wallets bezieht, die wichtigsten Beispiele sind die Hardware Wallets. Diese bestimmte Wallet kommt auf einem USB-Gerät und erlaubt es Ihnen, das Gerät technisch einzurichten und einen digitalen Ordner zu erstellen, der Ihre Kryptos sicher und offline hält.
Hier einige Beispiele für sichere Lösungen:

• Software-Wallets, die dauerhaft vom Internet getrennt sind
• Papier wallets
• Hardware wallets (wie Trezor, Ledger Nano S, KeepKey usw.)

Die Krypto-Welt entwickelt sich jedoch weiter, und heutzutage müssen Sie sich nicht einmal mehr um den technischen Teil oder die Konfiguration kümmern; lizenzierte Plattformen wie CryptoCoin.pro oder BitCanuck.ca speichern die meisten Münzen in ihren eigenen, selbstkonfigurierten Multi-Sign Cold Wallets. Auf diese Weise werden die Münzen sicher aufbewahrt und der Benutzer wird von allen technischen Aspekten befreit.
Cryptocurrency cold storage ist eine geniale Lösung
In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass der Krypto-Währungsmarkt von Tag zu Tag wächst, ist der wichtigste Aspekt, Ihre digitalen Münzen sicher und fern von möglichen Eindringlingen wie Lösegeld oder Keyloggern zu halten.
Die beste offline Krypto-Lösung? Cold wallets. Mit diesem Produkt, selbst wenn Ihre CPU angegriffen wird oder ein Konvertierungsserver kompromittiert wurde, scheint Ihr Offline-Gerät der beste Weg für Ihre Kryptos zu sein. Holen Sie sich Ihre eigene Offline-Wallet mit nur wenigen Klicks auf BitCanuck.
Cold storage hat verschiedene Sicherheitsstufen, was bedeutet, dass selbst bei einer Online-Verbindung für Transaktionen nur geringe Chancen bestehen, dass Ihre privaten Schlüssel von einem Eindringling gestohlen werden.
Um die Sicherheit ihrer digitalen Münzen zu gewährleisten, wechseln immer mehr Anwender zu dieser Lösung. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass, wenn Sie bereit sind, in fehlerfreie Geräte zu investieren, der Markt für cold wallets feste Lösungen bietet an.
Warum Sie Ihre Kryptos nicht online, sondern offline speichern sollten
Wenn es um Cryptos-Konvertierungsplattformen geht, sind hot und cold Wallets die Begriffe, die Sie treffen werden. Beides sind Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, die von den Krypto-Währungsumwandlungsplattformen festgelegt werden, um die Ressourcen des Benutzers vor möglichen Angriffen zu schützen.
Es ist bekannt, dass, wenn etwas online verbunden ist, auch angreifbar wird; aber wenn Sie sich entscheiden, eine kleine Anzahl von digitalen Münzen in einer hot wallets zu behalten, ist das nicht unbedingt riskant, denn im allgemeinen würde kein Hacker seine Zeit und Ressourcen verschwenden wollen, um kleine Geldbeträge zu stehlen. Ein weiterer wichtiger Sicherheitsaspekt, der in Betracht gezogen werden sollte, ist die Aufbewahrung Ihrer Kryptos in mehreren Portemonnaies, entweder wenn diese wallets cold oder hot sind.
Benötigen Sie Hilfe bei der Entscheidung für eine Hardware-Wallet Lösung? Start jetzt entweder mit einem physikalischen Laufwerk wie Ledger Nano S, das robuste Sicherheitsfunktionen bietet oder einfach innerhalb weniger Minuten mit BitCanuck's Krypto-Diensten starten. Mit der Online-Registrierung haben Sie alle Ihre Assets sicher offline, kostenlos und ohne technisches Wissen gespeichert.

Developments in Financial Services

• Binance is launching a JV with Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange (LCX) to launch a fiat to cryptocurrency exchange, Binnace LCX. The exchange/platforming will be based in Liechtenstein and offer trading between Swiss Francs (CHF) and euros (EUR) against major digital currencies pairs with the potential for new trading pairs in the future.
• bloXroute Labs, along with a partnership with a team of student at Northwestern University, are experimenting with a trustless scheme to address the scalability limitations of Bitcoin’s P2P platform. At the moment, with the Lightning Network, Bitcoin transactions capacity is capped at 82 BTC. According to Sarit Markovich, professor of strategy at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, the bloXroute solution is scaling at 100x better and are targeting 1,000x.
• BOLT, a privacy overlay for the lighting network that will be applied to zcash, was formally launched on Github today. BOLT will obscure transaction, balances and sendereceiver identities. The BOLT upgrade to the zcash protocol is considered a soft fork.
• Coinbase, according to CEO and co-Founder Brian Armstrong in an interview with Bloomberg, is adding 50k new users a day. Assuming this run-rate, it implies Coinbase will add 350k new users a year.
• DGE, a South Korean blockchain developer, who launched its native cryptocurrency TMTG a few weeks ago that is linked to value of gold is attempting to partner with global gold exchanges (after agreements with the Korea Gold Exchange and Vau Diamond Exchange) to create a stable ecosystem for TMTG. In the opinion of DGE, many cryptocurrency developers do not consider the stability of their coins and its impact to the ecosystem these cryptocurrencies support.
• Ethereum Classic is +18% this morning after crypto’s inclusion into the Coinbase index fund after being added to the Coinbase Pro trading platform. At the moment, Ethereum Classic has a 0.91% allocation in the fund.

The five companies will use Huobi’s Cloud service which will provide the different platforms with the tools they need to open their exchanges on a proven framework.
• LINE, a Japanese social messaging app, announced that is forming a USD$10mm blockchain venture capital fund. The company believes the decision to create a blockchain venture fund will make LINE one of the first publicly traded companies to formalize token investments through a corporate fund structure.

• Ripple Labs continues to focus on expansion plans, even in the face of recent lawsuits from the District Court of California. The lawsuits content that Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, should be considered a security which the company flatly rejects. In spite of these issues, Ripple Labs remains focused on its overseas expansions plans in Asia and the Middle East.
• Ripple Labs has endorsed three cryptocurrency exchanges, Bittrex, Bitso, and Coins.ph as its preferred partners for transactions with Ripple’s xRapid payments system. Management at Ripple Labs is encouraging users in the US, Mexico and the Philippines to use these exchanges while transacting with xRapid. XRapid is a solution for Ripple’s blockchain-based real-time gross settlement system and is meant to facilitate international fiat transfers between financial institutions.
• Square announces that customers will be able to buy/sell Bitcoin via its Cash App across all 50 states in the United States.
• The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is publicly expressing concerns about the acquisition of Beat Holdings, listed on the TSE, by Noah Ark Technologies, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency frim. The TSE concerns are related to management’s bias to stay away from the cryptocurrency sector.

Regulatory

• The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is exploring using a distributed ledger technology (DLT) in place of its current clearing house electronic sub-register system. According to Dominic Steves, Managing Director and CEO of the ASX, shifting to a DLT system would save the exchange as much as USD$23bn. A DLT would permit customers to use nodes instead of sending messages and connect to the whole database instead of having to communicate with several different databases and should help eliminate errors.
• Bitmain’s upcoming IPO is coming under scrutiny as investors continue to worry about its long-term viability. Specifically, there seem to be concerns about Bitmain’s reserve of Bitcoin Cash which is considered an illiquid position given the daily turnover in current Bitcoin Cash markets. Bitmain’s IPO is currently being valued at USD$18bn.
• Bloomberg is reporting that a Bitcoin-based ETN that is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm will begin targeting US investors. The ETN, Bitcoin Tracker One, is listed and traded in Sweden but is now being quoted in USD$.
