Don't do it. A while is not 8 weeks

My regrets this year, and I have many, so learn from them!

Bought ARK at $0.16, held it for 3 months - (think $20k worth) - sod it, this is not performing I said (despite reading the paper and liking the team). Then it shot to $3.

Bought LSK at $0.25, 40,000 tokens. Sold it at $0.35. Berlin based outfit, very informed, very active community. Can you imagine my disbelief when it rallied to $9? $360k opportunity lost because of 45 days I think it was...

I cannot understate how important patience is.

which are the best for holding onto then? stellar, zencash...any others?

If I had a crystal ball I'd tell you!

Got about 30 positions. The top ones at the minute:

ETC Ethereum classic, hard-fork tomorrow.
Zencash
NMR believe it or not... thinking about bitcoin futures here.
Groestlcoin - think this one has a great future
XLM - small position now, waiting for buy back opportunity
SALT
BCG
NEO
Ubiq (UBG)
FCT
PAY Token


And the purely speculative small bets with not too much research:
Lunyr (LUN)
DNT

double double head and shoulders - this could get ugly...

Well, I had high hopes for zencash. Being part of it and building your own secure node. Honestly, don't bother - this is never going to work.

The documentation page they've got up for their test network, looks like its been written by a 12 year old. In all honesty, its just appalling. Full of mistakes and just won't work.

Surely, if you want people to join, get things up and running, you need to produce documentation that allows users to do things. Pretty much looks like this one guy wrote the doc in one pass - you can see towards the end he gets a bit bored.

Wasted way too much time and I've given up now. Its all installed on linux (and I've got years of experience). I just can't be arsed wading through half arsed incorrect instructions any more.

So only people who are going to be able to ever join as a secure node are those with linux experience and have nothing better to do than wade through tulipe to get it working.....

That's quite disappointing, it may be open source but they are also taking investment from their coin so one would expect the same standards we see in our corporate clientcos - if not better.

Hopefully the time you've spent on it won't be completely wasted were you to venture into some sort of ICO some time - or even be able to analyse them for which ones are worth investing in or not.

I'm waiting for CUKcoin.co to come out with smart contract-blockchain based (outside IR35) payments on milestones....

I've bought a little bit of BTC just in case that was the correction. My retrace levels got hit a bit too quickly and I think there may be more downside to come, although the impulsive move up is pretty strong... Still wary of Wall St and futures though.

Looking at the daily charts instead of hourly, it looks more like this is the start if the bull trap.

It could be another chart on top of the chart like happen before when the media jumped on the $10k barrier. But I'm not buying it, literally, I have to remind myself this coin was half it's current value not 45 days ago. That's insane, needs a stronger correction.

would refrain from buying Stellar at the minute, H&S indicates further downward movement..

A little below the trend line, I either catch or I don't. Better to miss than overpay.
