Bitcoin Forum

So I just realized that Dashing and Dashingriddler might not be the same person. I could be wrong.
But what happened to all those people who were active here when I joined the forums in 2013 ?

Skang ? BTCIndia ? Pinwheel (lol) ?? I just recently saw a post of Amitabh on my Unocoin related post; but besides a handful of old timers I dont see anyone from back then. Seems like a lot has changed in the time I was gone from here...

Where are they and what are they upto ?

Dashing and Dashingriddler are different people.

Inspite new users get added to india subforum, the old ones are becoming inactive - dont know why.

What are the old ones upto? - I hope they are not mining bitcoins secretly haha

Skang responded with a LONG explanation about what he was upto, secretly building his super website of something, poor guy had his response removed due to the disk crash.

Yup, he was trying to find a real need (definitely not exchanges) of people which Bitcoin could serve.

Same here, I am writing a blog post on a similar but slightly different topic at the moment about it.

you guys seem pretty old members too :-/
Just saying...

I recently turned senior, but still a newbie at heart.  :P

just a month or two far to be a senior , but as you said still newbie at heart :)

Working on extending xPredict (https://xchang.in/xcharts/landing.html) service, for BSE/NSE predictions and integration with neural networks.

And you're from India ?

I am from India

WEW~! Glad to e-meet someone old from India here for the first time.

I a working on Zebpay  :P

On a side note : I miss dishwara. BTCIndia is not posting much now. rohnhrear ( or whatever his handle is ) was also a good member. I wish Benson also starts posting something :D Amitabh is not much active too. And how can I forget luckyindia. ameriandesi, escrow.ms and others are still a bit active but not on this forum.



Regards

Mr Desi is active on his own forum :P

I am an Indian too, trying and struggling a lot to get investors for my Project called Bitknow which consists of Bitcoin knowledge and making them understand how to earn and spend Bitcoins, also to open up few things which I can't share here, on which everyone can spend them and have fun.

I don't think you would get good funding here!
Maybe try Main forum ?

No, no... I think you got me wrong there... I ain't asking for any investments from people here, I just thought I should share something I have in my mind as a concept to be put into action.

If you are looking for investors, you need to have a sound monetization strategy. Can you see the project making RoI for its investors easily?

ohhhh.. People do miss me.. (Thanks buysellbitcoin. You made my day)
Am glad to know that.!

I have been busy offlate. Working on a couple of projects which keeps me busy.

Nevertheless, i miss you guys and the btctalk..!

Projects related to BTC in anyway ? What happened to Laxmicoin ?

Laxmicoin ??? :-\

Now I feel like an old timer. FINALLY I am OLD !!

I probably do not know it because i didn't used to visit the Indian forum in the starting :D

Laxmicoin poject was by mitts. It aimed to be Indian version of crypto currency backed by Indian rupees. But in India I feel its just too early.

Hey Mahin,
        Hope the Zebpay wallet won't get affected by the crisis of btcx and Uno . Anyways , check PM
~Regards Sky

I think it should be on new thread, but still let me answer it here :

1) BTCXIndia crisis is not actaully crisis. Its bank has decided that they do not want to serve high compliance risk category like Bitcoin ( same as gambling, sometimes pharma, digital codes etc ) There is nothing wrong in it. BTCXIndia has tow options a. Suspend operations b. Find new bankers. Now BTCXIndia has all the right in the world to decide best for his business and his customers and they chose to suspend operations. The only issue I think is the language they used in their closing press release, which can be misleading. Such statements may and will hurt bitcoin economy in India. I do appreciate  though that they are making sure everyone will have decent time to get their money back.

2) Unocoin should not have opened that thread in first place as its better to deal with such things with authorities and may involve lawyers at later stage. But that thread has just went far away. I do not think Sathvik or Unocin is hiding  anything and it is just somehow the thread exploded with all wrong reasons without anyone's fault. That was single transaction under scrutiny and Unocoin has done everything correct by having all KYC and AML and following their self regulated procedures. No one needs to worry if they have not done anything illegal.

Replied to PM.

Regards

It's good to hear it and i hope both to be back in future.

Unocoin went nowhere, lol, its going okay. Unocoin had no crisis, just authorities asking info which happens to banks 1000 times per day.

With Unocoin comment I meant to say the discussion just gone owls, too much unnecessary panic and lots of arguments that meant nothing.

Regards

Yes I agree, too much panic over nothing.
I was just answering sky there who said "both" be "back".

That is right. Could not stop it and it kept going bonkers.

I actually thought unocoin is gonna  close too
Good to hear that

Uno aint going anywhere but as an exchange CS has a better future. Uno is good now because of it's semi instantaneous-ness.

Btw I was asking about what happened to the Indians who were here during the old forum days. Benu da is just one guy who's hanging out since then, others would be Dishwasher / Pinu da / Nilam Doc / Amitabh  (doc) lol

I hope Mr Dishwasher retaliates ^_^

amitabh still visits sometimes but i don't see him often , about the rest - i haven't even heard of them. Yeah i know , you feel old now :P

haha Ive recently spoken to Amitabh. It would be really cool to see who else has been on the BTC scene since 2009 or early 2010 atleast. Indian off course.

Damn now i really hate to not have been introduced to bitcoin's before

If I head been introduced to Bitcoin a year earlier, I would have been sitting on huge losses.  ;)
Good thing I missed out on those $1000+ bitcoins. :P

True that! but that won't be the same for me, i had just bought 300 inr btc so far and after that all i have done is made btc/money!
Would have never intended to buy at the time either. So earlier, the better. :D

Indians live a long life, don't worry. They will find their way back into your life and bargain some bit coins haha

Doc is very much around. He making some awesomes all over the place.. Just very discreet and humble about it :)

why is everyone calling him doc ?
Is he like a doctor? or is it some secret code name :D :D

You dont know ? He's Dr.Who !!

Phd in Crypto. Well known around the Bangalore scene.
Fortunately, loves coinsecure :)

Great!

Thanks for letting me know :D :D :D

Which doc we are talking about here ? Nilam Doc or Amitabh (doc) ?

Amitabh :)

Well, this forum(Indian Thread) had nothing more to offer me in terms of intellectual development(discussions) as most of members have stopped evolving and focused on cashing. Therefore, I refrained myself from having any discussions here.

I've been bit busy with development of exchange that would put 'Best exchange' to shame. Exchanges is not about just price discovery and bridging market gap is much more that.. and I've been really busy with other aspects. Apart from that, I'm working on venture that leverages Blockchain technology to create a transparent world with few real life applications. Target launch is November, 2015. And occupied with another educational project based on MOOCs where I vision to provide mass education by overcoming barrier of internet and electricity. ;)

Enough of transaction fees for remittance back home!

I came up with idea few months ago where person remitting will send amount 'x' will always receive amount greater than x on other end. No matter volatility of Bitcoin. Isn't it ambitious and against law of market? Somehow, I'm taking out time to gather intelligence and plan to crunch data. Hopefully, I'll have data about business sustainability by end of this year.

So much to do and so less time! Argh! :-[

Seriously Phd in crytpo  :o  when did that comes in  ???

Btw iam registered since sept 2013  ;)

Sounds interesting.
Do keep us posted on any progress.

Thanks! I'm glad to inform that, I'll be soon meeting founder of VC firm to discuss and provide inputs on Bitcoin ecosystem investment. They look forward to invest or seems like pitched opportunity. That said, I've had brief progress with project of exchange and will be discussing same with MD of well-known exchange next month. Sometimes, I feel, I've come a long way and sometimes it feels like nothing has happened. Irony of intangible growth. :(

With regards to other project, planning to go through accelerator program for experts inputs, exposure and deal. MOOC is my priority.

P.S: I'm aggressively looking to diversify team with domain experts- Finance, marketing, technology, legal, operations, management etc. You gotta be expert in one.

All the best BTCIndia. Keep us posted about your work.

Thanks Skang! I'm not sure what lies ahead but I'll keep you updated.
