Bitcoin Forum

I would like to know what is your pain and the problems that you face the most with the bitcoin technology?

For myself, when I started was how to send and receive bitcoins. Also, took me a long time to understand the value and the difference between the Satoshi and Bitcoins.

My problem in bitcoin would be the transaction speed, I sent payment for the things I bought and it took more than 10 hours to confirm and in that 10 hours I am very worried and I keep checking the confirmation, the other one is when I send the payment to the wrong address and the coin I sent was gone forever, the address is too long for someone to remember

Also in the same shoes back when I am just starting out,but hey we have google and youtube,these are powerful tools to help us understand Bitcoin and the crypto currency technology and these two tools leads me to this forum.Google,Youtube and Bitcointalk the best combinations.

I also have the same fear that I've sent the coins to the wrong address and that transaction will not be confirmed. Sometimes I check the address 5 or 6 times before I'm sure to send it.
But besides this I don't have some other big problems. Since I've started to use Bitcoin debit card many things have become easier.

For me the biggest problem is the risk involved with buying and selling bitcoins for fiat.

There is always a fear that the other guy will chargeback and you get scammed.

For me it's satoshi's that takes a long time to acculumate and it has so little value. Then the speed of transactions sometimes get delayed by two days. Also I can't understand mbtc what is that and every time I need to Google to find its value. Then my biggest problem is the sellers of eBay do not accept Bitcoin, so I need to run around searching for a conversion to paypal. Though there are issues, I yet won't leave btc I learn about them here how to solve them.

problems
Developers have taken off their bug fix caps and put on their highschool economics hats, thinking that will solve bitcoin

developers holding bacl scalability to push their business plan of profitable transactions via business services rather than coding a barrierless /borderless open monetary system

developers have a follow the leader mindset. once a road is pointed out they all follow. they have lost their open mind to take it in multiple directions

yes its developers at fault. because bitcoin has no arms, legs, mind or mouth. you cannot blame bitcoin just like you cannot blame a baby. you have to blame the parents

Transaction time is the main problem for me. Sometimes, I have to wait for up to 2 hours to convert my Bitcoins to fiat in Localbitcoins. And logging in to the Blockchain.info wallet can be quite frustrating sometimes. There are instances when the email code never arrives.

Forget about bugs in this time all about money. ;D

They following the leader's mind, and the primary mistake has targetted for the leader. Are they getting the brainwash? 8)

Like some people said, I have same problem, transaction delayed, I used default fees for every transaction I made, and usually it's took 5 - maximum 15 minutes to arrive my destination address, but now it's take over 20 minutes, although it's not to a day. Well I think it will be a pretty serious issue in the future.

Blockchain wallet seems to be a pain sometimes... I can't send funds from my phone, I always get an error and I hate it when I need to go to Chrome and try to send it from there... It's harder to do it, you can't even scan the QR code..

Just as stated in my this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689223.msg17238201#msg17238201

On top of those 10 points, the regulation is also a problem. As many countries had banned bitcoin, adoption there would be illegal and thus limiting the growth of bitcoin's price...

The technical things behind bitcoin is just a pain to me, I had made a transaction with 0 fee and later wanted to double spend it with a proper fee but failed... Finally I had to wait few days before the tx was deleted from mempool before I make a new tx :(

Thats because your transaction fee is very low. Thats why it takes a lot of time to cornfirm your transaction. You should put your transaction fee into normal fee and above for more faster confirmation. And in your problem about manual enter of address. You should double check the address before sending the funds. Copy and paste the address for less hassle.

Hmm, I see the way you provide to overcome the confirmasi transaction to sometimes crash or have to wait quite a long time it's enough right or good. However it does not fully work in every transaction we did, because the things that affect the rate of speed confirmasi not only the standard fee but also the rate of speed the confirmation of the miners who did his job. Because the shipment or transaction we do in the bitcoin because there is work pertambang and they are the most important things in the confirmation and security bitcoin we

It was also hard for me to understand how to start using bitcoin in early days but i learnt that quite fast. The only moment of frustration for me while using bitcoin was when my transaction got stucked unconfirmed for 12 hour+ even when i have sent with the fee recommended by blockchain.info wallet. However it went through and after talking with bitpay i get it credited to my neteller account.

In several months spending with bitcoins I don't have complaints about it. I didn't encounter any loss in my wallets, hacking accounts, some cases like that. Just only scams in investments especially in HYIP but it is not responsible of bitcoin anymore.

The problems i am facing right now whenever i use bitcoin is just minor and not really big issues to me. Like the transaction is irreversible, lack of place to spend it, the price is volatile and etc.

Well I don't find using bitcoin problematic because the time of waiting for transactions to be confirmed isn't a big deal to me nor the fluctuation in bitcoin's price doesn't bother me. But there is one small thing that I still find difficult, which is the popularity of bitcoin. As no one in my place know about bitcoin, although I live in the city centre, and this has driven me crazy for several times  :'(

Complaining won't do any thing right especially when it comes to bitcoin there are many ups and down about it that can be very difficult to understand by some newbie and I think you don't need to complain about it but have the courage in learning and teaching yourself how to do it, I had once a problem over GPU mining over the software I am using so I could mine bitcoin well a lot of fix and tweaks and some help from some knowledgeable guys about bitcoin mining back then help me a lot and now I have stop mining because of financial issues involve and now have encounter bitcoin campaign and gambling and I think it went out well.

bitcoin has no arms and legs or a mouth. it is just code.
if you expect some bitcoin dev to get on a plane to come to the city and do some big speach. think again.

however think about this.
YOU can be the big thing your city needs. you can start the ball rolling in your city. if you notice something bitcoin can be useful for, you should be the one that brings it to your city.

at the moment you say your city is empty of bitcoin. this means you have no competition, no one else there to cause you pressure.
so feel free to do your part and get your city motivated.

As a trader, sometimes i need a fast transaction and bitcoin ruin my profits...
most of the times i dont have any problem, but there are days where i've to wait hours until a confirmation.

I'd recommend ditching blockchain wallet. It went pretty bad with the update (even the older version wasn't that good). Even exporting private keys is a pain because of the private key formats they default to.

Perhaps a better option would be BitGo if you prefer web wallets. I personally prefer Mycelium for everything though. Small amounts will be kept on mobile and larger amounts on Trezor (mycelium allows spending from hardware wallets too). It's the wallet I've had least problems with and you can even sign messages with it.

Well I think some securely transaction needs time to process you would have to have patients in attaining what you want sometimes and if you want your transaction to process more fast I think the solution is to get your transaction ahead of time because that most of the wallet works I think it is securely that way!

Nothing looks to be a big problem with bitcoin. Same way started to use by sending and receiving bitcoin and later on knew about various other earning methods and started to take part into it. Now felt happy to be a user of bitcoin and haven't found something bad about it.

My Biggest problem is that im a newbie. Being a newbie there are not many campaigns that would like to recruit newbie members . So its very hard for newbie members to find campaigns. Another this is that its very hard to understand everything about bitcoin.

For me it was very simple to understand about send and receive Bitcoin in Bitcoin startup but the main problem that I faced was the way of earning btc  with speedy  but I wondered about 5 month and at last I found every solutions for my problem in this forum . I found that this forum is like a newspaper ;)

bitcoin is not just this forum or a signature campaign

if you have skills then look at career sections of bitcoin businesses and apply for a job
if you prefer to run your own business, then find a product that people want to buy and price it in bitcoin
if you are more of a talker then watch video's of andreas antonopoulus and other bitcoin 'talks' and learn about bitcoin so you too can start your own conference tour

if your skills are coding and want to start your own business, then find a e-service you feel that is missing and provide it.

bitcoin is a real currency much like any other.

My biggest problem and pain regarding on bitcoin is on how to earn it easily and could make decent money on it :)this is the thing that I face but regarding to bitcoin itself I don't have any problems since it really benefits me regarding on money transfer and online transactions.

As many say perhaps the biggest problem are sometimes slow transactions,for some new users this can be big problem if they do not understand the importance of fees when sending BTC.Also for me security was the biggest question at the beginning of using BTC because we all know how easy is to lose everything you own in seconds.

Send and receive BTC was never my problem,but even today I check few times every address before click send, better to be safe because there is no correction.

How Transaction takes place, tx fees, the technicalities and how tx'es get confirmed. These are few things to named that troubled in for few weeks in the start. Well its not too difficult to understand basic functions of bitcoin if you study about it for few days.

I think the biggest problem I experienced back in the day, was to sort the facts from the myths and the lies. It took me some time to figure

out which of the resources were providing unbiased/legit information. I did most of my research on Youtube and news websites. Some of

these resources were being infiltrated by shills and they worked hard to spread FUD. Not to speak about Reddit.  ::)

most of my problems would be fiat related. if i wanted to get rid of everything today i'd have to verify, worry about slippage and wonder whether my bank freaked out when the gains arrived.

When I tell bitcoin to some people some find it cool but many of them find it as a negative thing . That it has many risks and potentially be a medium of illegal stuffs

Adoption, Using bitcoins directly is difficult which will prevent you from additional fees when using a third party site like exchanging it to fiat that requires additional fees

I can't considered those problems I encountered throughout in my bitcoin life as a "pain" one since I used to learn on the things I didn't know with just self study with the help of people around me here in internet world or in real life without reaching to the point that I really having a hard time studying what I want.

For basics bitcoin knowledge, well it's basic so only took some short period of readings in knowing that kind of things. About the technology behind bitcoin, still not that much knowledge I have since Im learning new things while on progress but no doubt I have some decent knowledge about that in terms of, once again, basics and average. Only in trading I took some time to learn some things including some trading terms and fearless executions. Still building knowledge as of now with that thing.

I could not understand the meaning of satoshi first of all .and the difference between them, its just too hectic .its better to leave them alone .

I think that would be all of the newbie's problem they would definitely be confused between the satoshi and also one of my problem when I was just a newbie in this crypto currency is the bitcoin address where to send and how to receive

My problem and i think for all the bitcoin users out there the problem is that we can't find a place that accepts bitcoin as a payment method , places like amazon , eBay and other shopping sites should start adopting bitcoin ,because i am tierd of always exchanging my hard earnd bitcoin with a low rate whenever i want to buy something, hopefully in the future we will be able to do so as many people will start using bitcoin

My only problem with Bitcoin so far is that it is not really popular in my country and I do not really have friends that use Bitcoin so I can not exchange with them. I do not either have a credit card right now so my only choice is face to face or a BTC ATM and I do not have one in my surrounding.

Well, the btc adress which changes from time to time and at first you are not sure whether you will recieve the money, because of being afraid that the old adress is false now. And yes, the price. I still use preev to convert money, because it is hard for me to understand it in btc or satoshis. Another thing is that you can't really use btc much in your life and you are sort of afraid the price will suddenly fall and you will lose a lot.

Aside from slow transactions and slow adoption, hackers are also one of many nagging problems facing the users today. Hackers can use hacked emails and even mobile numbers to steals bitcoins from users who transacts using the cryptocurrency. The report of hackers that stole millions of dollars worth of bitcoins using only phone numbers has a chilling effect on every users fearing that one day their hard-earned bitcoins will be gone.

I have only found an issue with the time it takes to confirm a transaction. Most of the rest of Bitcoin is fairly straightforward, assuming you know how to read the various labels and the like, but having to wait in excess of an hour, in some cases, is just a pain in the ass.

My problem with the bitcoin world is that I can’t use my hard earned bitcoin freely, there are few places that I can use my bitcoin on the internet and no places in my country to use it , I don’t even think that people know what bitcoin is I don’t know why they don’t embrace the fact that bitcoin is a great thing.

I dont know why you find that so difficult ? Mind explaining that ?

I found it very easy from the start. I collected from faucets , they are great for learning. I collected 13k satoshi then withdraw to my wallet and I can see the transactions happening as I gather bitcoins.

The worst thing thst happened to me was a payment got stuck once for over a week. I still dont know what happened.

Well, all this time, I also do not know the difference between them, maybe it happened just because I was too focused on looking for bitcoin. Well, problems I had, and pain I have ever tasted is, when bitcoin I have, stolen by someone I do not know. Well, it happens suddenly when I opened my wallet via another computer.

Using a browser to open the blockchain wallet in mobile is very laggy. If you want to open your wallet on mobile just go download the app from the store. The only thing about blockchain wallet is sometimes they recommend me a high fee ranging from 0.001 then the transaction size isn't even 2kb. I even checked the network if it's busy but at that time it's not.

well for sure many bitcoin users also encountered the same problem and you may not know that some of their transactions took longer time to be confirmed and processed than the time you have waited before you got your transaction confirmed . and in the case that you have sent your coin to a wrong address and you complained that the addresses are too for some of us to remember well that was not actually a problem they are generated uniquely so you can be very sure that you're the only one who owned a certain address .

my problem using bitcoin is very difficult to find bitcoin users who I know well because most of bitcoins users who i know is not come from in my neighborhood and besides that i think i don't have serious problem during use bitcoin and most people says confirmations transactions sometimes too long but for me it's easy to overcome it and do not be stingy just increase the fees then transactions will confirmed with pretty fast

Spending. That is the biggest problem for me. In India, there are next to 0 merchants accepting bitcoin, and since its not even accepted on online shopping sites like amazon/flipkart directly, it is a huge problem for me.Almost nothing is purchasable using bitcoins here. And, the transaction time is also a huge hassle sometimes as sometimes the block verification can take long.

just like here in my country we are not yet able to spend it directly in some stores, groceries and even online shops but I didn't it as a problem if you can't spend it directly then go through the alternate way which is sell your bitcoin and convert it to fiat . at least you are still able to use it as a money but in fiat not bitcoin itself .

My first problem was buying bitcoin. I had none give me any advice so 1 risked a small amount buying from localbitcoins. Fortunately the transaction with other guy was finished ok there was not any problem and I learned practically the meaning of escrow even though there was no need to use it. Now none spends because most of them are expecting a bigger price and they follow the strategy wait and see.

At first in bitcoin world. Many speculations got on my mind, I wouldn't believe that we have money in technology base or digital currency so I don't want to be part of that before. I was thinking that I am just wasting my time for bitcoin then when someone told me about it and he earned money to buy something goods. I'm a little bit curious about bitcoin, what does it do and how to get it so I searched for it.

downloading full blockchain is a big pain.

my first problem in the bitcon world is i don't know what is bitcoin, how i can get bitcoin, by buy or what. and after i knew bitcoin, then the problem is i am not sure that i can get bitcoin with easy as i can only earning bitcoin by free and not by buying. and my pain is i am trying to collecting hundreds satoshi time by time, not stop for a long time until i know about mining, trading.

That is why we use copy and paste or QR codes since not many people can remember bitcoin addresses and to write them down is not recommended especially if you are doing a transaction in a phone.

I have only one pain and problem in the bitcoin world, and that is being scam over and over again. Well, that is life, we have to risk something for us to know what would happen, right? Behind of all this pain and problems that we are all having in this bitcoin world, there is success for all of us who are always trying, quitting is not an option even though we failed for a hundred times.

well I'm a newbie so when I started bitcoin talk I also faced some difficulties like, how to send bitcoin or receive bitcoins and the other problem I faced
is how to enter in a signature campaign because you have to do it yourself and understand yourself and the other thing is also difficult is the addresses
of other accounts is too long so one can not remember it  ???.

Problems cannot be eliminated as that is part of your journey in bitcoin and your life as a whole, what is important is the ability to solve the problem and to accept it. My problem so far with bitcoin is not due to the performance of bitcoin or it's network but due to my carelessness, I do gamble at the rate that I bet the money I cannot afford to lose anymore, but eventually, I was able to figure out how to solve the problem.

yes that is right to say, to me i think i do not have any serious problem related to bitcoin, as i can use bitcoin for both investment purpose as we as for currency, although the facilities of using bitcoin are not too much yet but still i am happy with the progress of bitcoin.

When I entered in bitcoin world, than i also confuse to understand about satoshi between bitcoin. But later on i could understand, This site http://preev.com/ really helpful to calculated.
But main problem was in that time, when i did work with bitcoin, I have no trust on it, because before 2 years ago, i never hear about crypto currency to anyone. The main reason was, in my country only few people worked on it, that's why i was confused to trust on bitcoin, but when i started than i know, it is really new world of technology.   

I do not have any pain and problems. I would like to make doubble higher payment for my commenting. That would make me to stay my work and make money only with bitcoins and spend more time with my family. For that I have to be legendary member, but it will happen only ion sevral years.

Before I was have a big problem in earning bitcoi  in the internet , until my friends that I met that is using bitcoin too helps me on how can I earn more bitcoin. But today I am the one who teaches to the newbies that are asking me on how can they earn more bitcoins.

It is really my first problem when i do engage to bitcoin is on how to earn more bitcoin because i do only earn small amounts which is not really enough and not worth for the effort and as you said i have also a friend does really teach me on how to earn more and its effective and now im earning enough and if there are newbies that are asking on how to earn i do really tell them regarding on my knowledge.

For me, Bitcoin always was long term project.
So, I never to worried about BTC price, for example.
I know that before we become mainstream, it's natural that price will be unstable and, as result, some users will give up.
We should see long term goal and vision see, and not to worry to much abut price or waiting for confirmation of BTC transaction.
I'm confident that Bitcoin is new revolution and future.
My only problem and pain is that this will not happen overnight, but patience will be rewarded soon :)

My problem is the fact that most of my friends underestimate this technology, I've tried to tell them how good Bitcoin is but they're just not interested in it. People often determines whether a thing is good or bad just by looking it instantly

I don't have any problem on bitcoin and i don't face any of them so far i love what bitcoin technology rightnow satoshi is the alternative name of bitcoin right? Because i know when you are using faucet you are getting satoshi then if you send your satoshi on bitcoin wallet it will become bitcoin.

One of my pains in the bitcoin world is the birth of more scammers trying to make an easy living from peoples hard earn satosi and invested time other than than its price that that major pain

i did never had a problem with bitcoin its like something made for me . it took me a little time to understand the network and when i did it gets all of my attension. i am a newbie at programming and web development and i really like how we can implement it in any website or app. there are ton of api's avalible which we can use or even if there is no api avalible for any specific exchange or site then also there are some other techniques to get what we want

I don't know how many of the most ideal bitcoin exchange rate against the dollar. My understanding, if the value of bitcoin touched the highest price on the exchange. Payments from mining, and the exchange rate for altcoin will be less, and make us more difficult to get bitcoin. It is horrible.

OP, that's not much of a pain--if that's the worst it gets for you, consider yourself lucky.  Getting scammed out of your hard-earned bitcoin sucks, and that's probably the biggest pain in the ass I've endured.

Learning how to send and receive bitcoin I learned to do sometime last year.  It was weird at first, because I'm not a big tech guy.  Then once I did, it was pretty damn cool.  Market fluctuations are another pain in the ass.

pain and problem I assume it was an (bad) experience like scammed, miss money in walet, lose gambling, etc. It has happened to me
as people say your best teacher is experience

I have the same problem every day, like no matter how hard I try and patient I am to demonstrate and explain to my friends the benefits of blockchain technology, they just seem to ignore me. The same for my family, they even assume bitcoin is something illegal and not practical and should be avoided because "it can take all of your money". This has driven me crazy so I hope that there would be more positive news about bitcoin.

Well i think this is a common problem when we are telling them the truth sometimes they are thinking that this is networking and just invite him to get the referral that honestly i never send any referral.. they are thinking that they was just use them to earn.. well it is not a problem because its just normal that other people are thinking bad things about bitcoin..

Problem for me
1. bitcoin mining for small miner
2. I really scare if i put wrong address when i want to send bitcoin.
3. Only several Merchant accept bitcoin

i also hve no problem with bitcoin, i am also happy with bitcoin technology, the only minor problem that i can face from bitcoin is that bitcoin shops are still no available in my area, i can hope that in future i will be able to do shopping in my local shops using bitcoin without conversion it into local currency.

Well that is only thing that is hindrance to bitcoin but its not the fault of bitcoin or any its just because not all of the people adopting bitcoin but we do expect soon that we could see a lot of shops and stores that accepts bitcoin as payment but as of now only few to none shops that we could see.

It will only gonna stay as your problem if you keep on having a hard time thinking about it,

1. If mining doesn't work out for you try doing things that also involve gaining bitcoin like faucet, signature campaign, gambling, and trading.

2. If you will be scare in this then I think don't even try sending you bitcoin to anyone you can take note or taking tabs of btc address of other people that you are always sending bitcoin.

3. Well merchant are always limited to bitcoin but the solution for these are just exchange your BTC to fiat money then I think these would not gonna be your problem anymore.

In some bitcoin wallet, you can make a contact with an address inside it so it will lower the risk of mistyping an address. You just need to select the name of someone you're going to send some bitcoins and then it's done. Though, it's really encouraged nowaday to use this feature because some virus even have ability to replace an address you were inserting on address tab with the virus or hacker address, so beware

i am also no facing such  big problem related to bitcoin, i think the only problem is that in my area there is not any bitcoin shop from where i can do shopping using bitcoin. i think we really need such shops in our area.

Some Bitcoin wallet sites allowed us to use email id and username to send BTC to others. It's a safe method to do bitcoin transaction. Here no mistake will happen. If you use BTC address to transfer bitcoin this type of issues we may face. But for me, i have not made any mistake in BTC transfer. I don't have any major problem in the bitcoin world.

My problem is I still didn't find a way to turn my BTC to fiat money quickly and anonimously whenever I need to .

Any good suggestion ?

for sure most of us considered it as the first main problem when we were just a newbie on bitcoin community , we were having a hard time on find some good ways to earn more bitcoin . I have tried many ways just like claiming a satoshi from bitsler's faucet and gamble it expecting to make it grow, I've also tried to worked on captcha, various faucets, and PTCs . probably all of us who was once a newbie struggles on the same situation before . well it feels great to teach newbies especially if they are willing to learn and giving an effort to understand what you are trying teach them .

Well, the only way is by selling bitcoin we have. you have to prepare for it, and be patient until bitcoin that you have been sold, or you might be able to directly convert it to a reliable exchanger. Well, the real problem that I face from bitcoin is very difficult to hold it in a very long time.

No pain, no problems, i'm happy with the technology as i have always been, it gave me an opportunity to earn money by myself which i never could do in my life as a student, i have always been looking for something like this and i finally got what i wanted in the shape of bitcoin, so i have no problems with it at all.

Referrals can be pretty lucrative, though, so if you do have enough people to spread your referral codes to it can be quite lucrative and can easily earn you more than a signature campaign does in a week or month, however long your payment periods are.

The only problem is that it won't make you look too good, even if you have a Youtube channel or some other large connections.

this has to be the biggest problem. No new user wants to go through figuring things out when we are all still trying to figure things out.

It can be still a problem of every users if they really want to instant withdraw and deposit here in my country we have a local wallet here that we can withdraw  and deposit instantly.. so if you are getting 3 to 7 business days of depositing or withdrawing for me its hassle to use bitcoin because it takes too long to deposit.. also if the bitcoin movement is moving high fast.. you are late to get the low price before increase..

I see that it is not a serious enough problem for the survival and growth of the bitcoin, for if I see from all the stuff that is there is just a matter of profit individually. Where the majority are looking for loopholes and give them an advantage in any wishes they did. Deposits and withdrawals are also reasonable, but if they do it just for profit then it is not a matter for us all. Therefore all have only a small influence in the growth of the bitcoin

pain? I think it is so pain when I was kicked out from a signature campaign while it was my only job. and then I looked for another signature campaign for not a short time.

besides, I regret that in 2015 I sell my bitcoins, while now the price is so high.

Well we can not blame other people since they have their own opinion because according to the title "you pain and problems in bitcoin world" it means your own problem about bitcoin that honestly every each has own problem about bitcoin we know that reason withdrawing and depositing is not a big problem but to them it is one of the big problem. i think they have low adoption of bitcoin in that place that needs take in action in order to contribute and help bitcoin for more impressions.

I feel sorry that bro, all I can say is that you're not the only one who's facing the same problem for sure . there were many people who have been kicked out from signature campaign maybe right at this moment or a few days ago which they also considered as their only job or source of income . by the way that shouldn't be your very big problem because there's so many ways that you can earn bitcoin .

You know that bitcoin is pseudonymous and no anonymous. For this reason, if you are willing to pay, there are services to "clean" your coins. A google search will bring you some of them. Moreover if you want only some coins to circulate anonymously why not trade with other crypto coins? Monero is one of them. Turn btc to fiat quickly is only face to face if you offer competitive prices compared to those who provide the same services.

In the initial stage people often face some difficulties in learning any thing of life so it does not mean that we count them in pains and problems from that thing. You were have difficulties in the start in understanding some of the terms in bitcoin which I also but I do not think it as pain but I found it interesting to learn that.

Well from my perspective, those difficulties could be considered as problems as those scientific term used in bitcoin can easily cause confusion. Like when you search for bitcoin on Wikipedia, you will meet some words whose appearing is so rare that you don't even notice about. And trying to understand these words is one major problem because if you don't know what bitcoin means, how can you get further?

No point in exchanging btc to fiat if you want to be anonymous, and there is no 100% way to exchange btc to fiat anonymously.  

of course there is not a perfect technology. bitcoin has some of the current shortcomings.
for me time deliveries that require confirmation of one of the issues that need our attention.

There is. You can meet up with someone wanting to buy Bitcoin locally, or if you want to be even more anonymous you can just go to a local ATM and do it. There is no need of banks or ID to exchange it, maybe only for big sums. Buying Bitcoin with fiat is way easier, there are many more ATMs that do this.

I think it depends on what company you are promoting in your referral.  I don't see any problem promoting legit companies under your banner or youtube promotion.  I agree that referral can give you more than enough if you manage to get a lot of it.

As for the annoying experience in bitcoin world, I think the pending services like withdrawing the funds from trading platform and exchanges  that took more than an hour to fix is one big headaches especially when we are in an urgent situation.  Confirmation, I guess by now we are used to it and well aware of its delay.

The problem I have is not much but just the issue of not having a way to address grievances in the Bitcoin world in the sense that when an address is flagged as one that have scammed someone there is no way to block the account or even add a red tag on it as we have it on paypal. All that is needed is to generate another address and the scam continues nothing much.

My greatest fear was when I am just a starter here in bitcoin and trying to invest in trading. Though a lot of people says that it is true , I think many times before I put money in it. As I wanted an assurance first, I just put small amount as a starting capital. And now no worries with these anymore.

This situation would only be effective if you live on a place on where bitcoin adoption is high and you could easily exchange you bitcoin to find anonymously but if you live on a place where bitcoin is just developing then you have no choice but to use those exchangers out there.

I think your problem was not big Because the matter was of unit of Bitcoin .
But my problem was big than anyone . When in the starting I created a blockchain wallet when the send option ask for Bitcoin address then I always put my home address , this problem was big to understand but one facebook guy explained me about basic Bitcoin send and receive .

That can not be considered a real problem, it was just lack of experience and knowledge. While it is true that the problems of the bitcoin economy are multiple, my personal problem here is the terrible volatility the we can eventually see in the price of bitcoin, because many times this has meant significant losses to me when making the exchange to fiat.

Luckily, I never had a problem with bitcoin even the transaction processing seems fair in my opinion.
I always cautious and read (learn) from others experiences to avoid same mistakes.
My only concern about hold my self not to sell and keep my bitcoin still in wallet instead of sell it whenever the price increase, hopefully I can saving until the time I need money for something.

I only care about the transaction times and the pain in the ass it can be waiting for up to 3 hours for a transaction to go through. If we were able to fix that and get it faster than that we're going to be able to become more popular and Bitcoin will be more useful in everyday life for anyone who wants to use it (assuming the stores also start accepting it).

   Read the manual when ever there is one around, here there is for everything. Its hard to find it in all this mess that spammers are creating, but I like challenges.
    I didnt have any problems, I'm very carful person and I'm trying to pay attention on tthingsngs around. I hope I will not have problems in future, problems always cause pain and I dont like that, I work on prevent.

I read bitcoin.org in the beginning and bitcoin.com  2 very good educational websites about bitcoin. Also I started reading about the difference between wallets and for the difference between satoshi and bitcoin I immediately used google for a converter and learned their difference since my first days. No pain for me, but I know many had trouble in the beginning.

The only pain i had with bitcoin world happened with my electrum wallet, and my previous computer that had burned and i havent stored anywhere the keys because i had thinked i werent going to need them, but well lost my bitcoins and i had learned from there. Nowadays i do have all my information stored outside the computer, soo im preventing any issue with my computer. The only lesson i have from the time before bitcoin, is dont invest into something which has a fast return from your investment, as dont invest more then afford to loose, if you follow those guidelines you will be ok at crypto world.

My problem with bitcoin is that it is not what it ment to be. It was not be speculative tool. Because if it cant be used properly as a currency. Becuase price fluctuate to widely and the transfer speed choke up.

My concern are not that big deal but it always annoys me.
I withdraw a bitcoin on a site and it takes a lot of hours of confirmation before i fully receive my withdrawn bitcoin.
But i hope this next few months bitcoin will be upgraded especially on doing transaction so i can save up more time in transferring or receiving bitcoin.

When I first learn about bitcoin world, I see my self like a cave man. Because I really really blind for this technology, blockchain.
And when I started earn bitcoin with doing faucet jobs, I see my self is like a fool to waste my time and internet quotation limit just for $0.003 per day.

But in the end, I learn trading. And I fixed all of the confusion problems with earning more bitcoin by trading.

It's normal at the beginning to fell lost on this world, takes some time to learn what to do, what each code means (deposit code, wallet ID code, alt coins deposit codes...). At first impression it's confuse to know what is satoshi, blockchain, scam investments (most people lose money with this kind of investment at least once, thinking it's a legit method to earn money).

Wow, what kind of faucets were you using? Only $0.003 daily? You could earn at least $1 daily with faucets.  :D

Actually, the address is too long to remember so I am not sure if such service from wallet providers would work or not but I think, wallet providers like blockchain.info, coinbase.com can create a mutual database of addresses they have and allot a custom unique alias so that one can send payment using that custom alias of recipient and the payment will go to the default wallet associated with that alias (defined by recipient).

Programmers, is this possible?

Same here goes with me, i'm getting worried if the payment is cancelled or void due to lack of confirmations. My last transaction confirms at approximately 32 hours. That's a long confirmation for a 0.05 BTC lmao. I hope blockchain will improve this transaction speed. And also i hope they will make a faucet that is not automatically when you click claim it wont automatically send to the bitcoin add. But there will be a storage on a faucet site that needs a 0.001 amount to be withdrawn.

My pain in using bitcoin is it is not widely accepted in stores. Another thing is having bad connection for making purchases. Bitcoin still has a long way to go.

Not worldwide accpetance is the problem for most of us and i have the same as well.Making use of bitcoin specially in my country i really difficult and also even buying and selling them at good rate is not that easy in my country and there are not many buyers and sellers in my country.

are you come from turkey? if then nobody or just a little number only using bitcoin , then you can start from yourself or even you can be the first person who make bitcoin famous around your place by introduce it slowly, why not?

a low number of merchant adopting bitcoin recently always be the most problem that people have.

One of the biggest problems for me is the time of the transaction and usually the barter and the biggest problems in waiting and not trusting the bitcoin. Someday I had a problem with the wallet had not had a Btc account at that time I was very afraid of this situation.

Firstly I have a problem (1) with the confirmation time since on purchasing something I have to wait till the transaction get confirmed only then will my order be placed (2) I always fear sending the bitcoins to a wrong address and check the address many times before sending, since a single letter mistake will cause the bitcoins to be lost forever.

(1) I also hate Bitcoin confirmation time if this time can be reduced than Bitcoin price will go to the moon. Now days banking transaction getting more faster day by day and Bitcoin transactions taking more times day by day.
(2) But I always check Bitcoin address tow or three times before sending my bitcoin usually I copy paste BTC wallet address so there is less chance of losing Bitcoin on wrong address. But if a wrong entered BTC address does not exist than I have doubt that transaction will be performed by the network .

Same problem. Seems like it will get more worst when users gets bloated in this industry. Perhaps there are some moves that are being taken to clean this problem.

Well at least, even you have trouble with sending bitcoins at least you have bitcoins in your wallet. Mine hasnt, I only have satoshis and the same problems of low priority and long confirmation. There are times that I want to quit bitcoins due to slow transactions and long confirmations but my online job pay bitcoin so I guess I will stick to bitcoin even though confirmation takes very long.

My pain right now in the bitcoin world is bitcoin's price too expensive for me,
I can not trade bitcoin to fiat because of bitcoins is too expensive.
Maybe my problem is nothing from peoples whom have much money from capital,
But for me, it is mean i must make deposit much money and i just could doing altcoins trading. :D

Long confirmations is not really a big deal and a valid reason for us to quit on bitcoin.There are really times that confirmations make take some time but its not usually happens.If you dont like long confirmations then better to pay up high tx fees so that you dont stress yourself out regarding on money transfers.

I don't quite understand what you mean, I thought that rising bitcoin's price would be exciting to bitcoin users. Or do you want to say that because bitcoin is overpriced, you can't buy bitcoins to store and use? If my guess is true then buying bitcoin isn't the only way for you to earn bitcoin, you can do that by applying for online jobs or start from simple things.

For me, right now, the biggest problem is that many businesses simple don't accept Bitcoin for payment.
So, I have to use exchanger in order to transfer my funds from BTC wallet to Paypal, for example, and I have to pay very high exchange fee.
Also, recently, I had to wait longer than usual for bTC transaction.
I really hope that bitcoin will become mainstream soon and that all merchant will accept bitcoin.

Personally I refrain from using secondary services to pay with BTC. If businesses don't accept BTC directly, I will not pay them with BTC. Fiat-cashing out Bitcoin to pay for goods/services makes no sense because of the spread and exchange fees. Using intermediary services with fiat conversion does neither.

Bitcoin will only be successfully if it's accepted directly, without conversion. Only in this case, it will be able to show its full potential. For merchants to accept Bitcoin directly they must see a use of BTC in the first place. So it's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

ya.ya.yo!

I don't know what's the thing that you used to purchase but I wonder why you still need to wait until the transaction gets confirmed before your order will be placed because as far as I know once you have made the transaction you can't be able to cancel it and the amount you've sent will surely go to whom it should be . and for your second problem for sure many of us have been on that situation, I am also worried that I presumably sent some amount to a wrong address but so far i haven't encountered that instances yet .

The second thing you have mentioned is really not a problem in bitcoin because it depends on you, if you put the right address your bitcoins can never go to a wrong place and i have never experienced any problem like this in my life time of using bitcoin, maybe someone should be too careful about this thing always as it is a small mistake but can do a big damage.

Merchants are afraid of double spending.  This is also a common problem of Casino Online with their client.  Once, Online Casino enable using  bitcoin and wager in their site even without transaction confirmation  but people with malicious intent exploit this by purposely sending transaction with little to no fee to delay the confirmation.  Then they bet the unconfirmed balance and when they lose they will overcome their previous transaction by sending the same BTC with higher TX fee to their other wallet for faster confirmation nullifying the Bitcoin transaction used in sending the BTC to that casino.

Well i think, it was cleared.
Ok i will make more clear for you, I can not do trading bitcoin to fiat money because of bitcoin's price was increasing, and i must have much capital for trading it.
I just can do trading altcoins to fiat money because of i just have small capital.
I hope you can understand about my explaining.

The point is to see a lot of merchants adopt bitcoin right?
So people won't confused where they have to spend their bitcoin
As a lot of people too recognize bitcoin as currency that spendable in daily life
Hard to make it happen if there is still a lot of fear in people about losing value in bitcoin , so they just simply use fiat.

I don't have any problem to be exact, but ya I see some issues which bothers me sometimes. The price fluctuates quite frequently and in large volume, but I know it has to be. Next is sometimes, the payment is quite slow. Then those you don;'t gamble or don't trade, currently have less ways to earn heavy.
My area/locality is very little bothered about Bitcoin, even my friends are very least interested.

yes that is not only your problem but most of the people are facing the same problem, specially in poor countries people are feeling hared to buy even single bitcoin and the problem is become more serious from time to time.

Actually in cryptocurrency-world, I had a airdrop by Decred then i had exchanged it to btc. Later invested all in HashOcean. They scammed and dissappear with my btc.

yes it is not such a big problem. but sill i think i think this problem should be solve in priority basis, because some time it really become panic to wait just for the conformation while buying something from market.

the price fluctuation is because of the people adopting bitcoin in a large scale, when the demand is increasing. thefore the price of bitcoin is all increasing and the fluctuation also increase.

I think i have to make myself used to this kind of pains.  Long confirmation time, pending withdrawal, no local merchant accepting Bitcoin.  Hacking of wallets from trading platform and exchange and the usual plummet of bitcoin when whales decided to cashout .

Of you can tell the difference between a cent and a dollar then you should be able to do so with a bitcoin and satoshi.
Its just a smaller increment of itself.

When I first get my small amount bitcoin, I just don't understand what the different of sathosi and mbtc. I think it just a different called by people and not related with the digit behind the point.
But now I now that is different. The past problem (question) I have for bitcoin is, who is sathosi nakamoto? Who the real he is? Because I doubted he can make this cryptocurrencie by himself. This is too perfect to made by himself.

My problem is that the ever increasing price of bitcoin and the increasing price of transactions and the delay it takes to get one confirmation are the real pain of bitcoin world at the moment and the developers have to solve this issue before getting out of hand.
