Cryptokitties is possible because of ERC 721, which allows for unique tokens to represent individual assets (having an indivisible kitty with its own dna). As far as I'm aware, NEO doesn't yet provide the ability to create individualized tokens that can be stored on the blockchain in a similar way.

While I'm inclined to believe this, the big sell off triggered by this news started at the same time that the news was made public. You can view the rapid drop in Neo (heavily affected by the ban) started in the same 15 minutes when the news broke.

This is a good example of how to generate and write down ten ideas per day. I like how many of them start with a pitch, then the idea, then first steps. I've tried to generate 10 ideas per day, but I find that I get overwhelmed with everything else I do - I'm going to try this format for two to three ideas per day to try to make the habit stick.

It kills me too, but I've given as much as I could without failing to make rent as a grad student. Seeing how the combined market cap for all cryptocurrency has more than doubled in a month, I think we're due for a correction.

At this point, I speculate that any correction would start with a trigger on the major coins, like frustration over the Bitcoin fees and transaction delays, a bug in the segwit implementation for Litecoin or a false flagged segwit activation from a malicious miner, or some major exchange (like Coinbase) loses user coins. Even just Bitcoin not receiving the ETF would cause investors to second-guess themselves.

At least 5x in the past 1.5 months, actually - from ~$.00025 to ~$.00145 (now $.00125). I watched it climb in disbelief. Most of the top 20 or 30 alt-coins saw at least 2x market cap increases in the past 2 months, some had 10x or greater increases.

This hiring test makes me cringe. How is this any better than taking a multiple choice test in college? These questions asked should invite back-and-forth conversation like the author is providing, especially when the company is seeking out highly qualified candidates.

Hey, this looks great; I'm signing up purely out of interest. Though, one small thing - if neither password field is filled out and the form is sent, I receive this message: "The password fields must match". Insignificant non-bug, but still not the correct error message to display. I look forward to see where you go with this!
