1001  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price of Bitcoin by 2018? on: August 27, 2017, 09:42:04 AM
I think the large scale investors will make a big difference as far as how high the price can go.  I would say I wouldn't really be surprised at this point if we saw 10,000 to 15,000 with what is happening now. 

Yes the demand of bitcoins is increasing day by day and that price is simply possible to achieve in next year as majority of users believe that in this year the price of bitcoins will hit $10k and if it does then it will be an win win for every user of bitcoin who have invested their money at a right time and hoping for the same I am continuously investing my money in bitcoin irrespective of the price.
yes no doubt that the demand of bitcoin is increasing day by day. we can see that the now the interest of the people about bitcoin is increasing from time to time and hope this increase will even continue for a long time.
True, there is a possibility this will continue, and bitcoin prices will continue to rise with high. I think, by 2018, bitcoin will reach the highest price that has not been achieved in previous years.

Extremely unlikely.

The reason being is that usually, the market becomes more bearish that it is bullish in the 2 years in between halvings. This has been true for basically every single time a halving has happened, for instance 2009-2012 and 2014-2016 you'll find that there hasn't been much activity.

I highly doubt that 2018 is going to be a year of growth, let alone bitcoin reaching $10k.

I'd be happy if bitcoin just stayed at $4k and that is unlikely next year, it'll likely go down to at least $3k.
1002  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: BTC.COM Hold my BTCs - Ask to pay higher than my actual balance on: August 27, 2017, 08:47:25 AM
Hello,

I already contacted the support up to one week without answer !

Hope one of their agent can solve the problem from here !

1 of my transaction stay unconfirmed for 4 days now.

There other users claimed to have the same exact issue here.



PM the forum representative on bitcointalk(who is neutralLTC, i think). He is active everyday basically answering questions on behalf of btc.com and specialises in their wallet services if i remember correctly.

So what exactly is your problem? You've stated two. One is that your total transaction fees add up to more than your account balance. Two is that one of your confirmations is unconfirmed for 4 days.

If these are the only problems that you've got then it shouldn't even be btc.com's problem. You or whoever sent the transaction paid too low of a fee, and miners aren't interested in mining your transaction. Try to speed up the process by getting someone to accelerate the tx for you. As for the transaction fee being higher than balance, that's just how it is right now. Nothing you can do about that, unless you can set your own custom fee which i don't think btc.com allows you to do.
1003  Economy / Speculation / Re: So where exactly are we in the bubble? on: August 27, 2017, 07:36:09 AM
I know y'all have seen this diagram before, and with BTC just crossing $3,800 as I type, where do you think we are in the bubble?



Aw man so cuz I'm a noob it won't post the image... Oh well. Its basically that "main stages of a bubble" chart. Which crypto most definitely is in. But are we just beginning the true ascent, or have we reached the peak? Thoughts?

Personally i have a feeling that we are in the bull trap area right now.

Either way, we are somewhere in the mania stages, or close to it. I don't think that there is any way that this isn't considered to be a mania when the price has risen by 1000%. There is simply no reason for the rise, or at least to fully justify such a big spike. WITH Bitcoin Cash going up, as well.

Wouldn't be surprised at all when at the end of the year people start panicking and overselling. This is when cheap coins is to be bought. Don't become too greedy and keep buying even though it is clear the bubble may collapse at any time.
1004  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud mining minimal TH/s needed to be profitable on: August 27, 2017, 07:01:54 AM
I was looking into some cloudmining and couldn't really find a clear answer on
how much TH/s you need to invest to make profit?

Anyone care to explain.

Was looking in hashflare cloudmining.

I think that magneto's answer is the most accurate.

The more you invest the more likely you are going to lose. Let's face it, unless you are able to refer some user into whatever service you are using you are likely not to gain much of a profit from investing in cloud mining.

Don't buy the crap that youtubers are trying to feed you. They only invest in cloud mining because they know they can get other people into it, and they earn a percentage. So really, it's more of a pyramid scheme than actual bitcoin mining.
1005  Economy / Speculation / Re: Top 20 days for Bitcoin on: August 27, 2017, 06:32:45 AM
Just a suggestion: Use bitcoinaverage.com or preev rates instead of Bitstamp because it takes the weighted average price of exchanges, instead of just one exchange which can be higher or lower at any time. For example i'm pretty sure the ATH was more than $4400 but here it says less than $4360.


All 3s today and very very close to another all time high. I wouldn't really be surprised at all if we can hit $4500 at the start of next month finally.

I think that a correction will be inevitable, but even when it corrects it seems like that there is a minimal chance of the price dropping out of the top 50. It would take a dump of around 50% to do that which i don't think will happen.
1006  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Hashflare and Genesis on: August 27, 2017, 06:18:38 AM
Hi guys,

think this may actually be my first post, not sure, but something came to mind and I was curious if you guys noticed it as well. 

I have contracts with Hashflare and Genesis (if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them) , I have pretty much have had the same amount of power mining since ummm say last year, I added to genesis about 2 months ago and plan to add a great deal to hashflare coming up here.   

As I said I've had the same amount of mining power, earlier this year I noticed my hashflare leaped to like $8 a day, which helped me get my return a lot faster , since then  these last few months I have not been able to break $7 , no matter what pool I'm mining in.    My thing is I could be wrong , I'm sure I'm still a few steps back on how everything works, but If I was making lets say $6 a day 2 months ago and bitcoin has pretty much doubled since then, should I also be making double especially with the fee's being up?

Let me know what you think, look forward to hearing from you and also if you having any cloud mining recommendations , none of those microhash , bitlakes , thunderbit , i'm talking legit stuff..

Well yes, you should be getting a lot more now since the price of bitcoin has risen drastically, the fees are up, and some hashrate has been diverted to bitcoin cash. How much does hashflare charge in fees? Maybe that is why you are not able to break the $7 margin.

Also i would just like to remind you that even genesis and hashflare could be scams. Even if they are not i have not heard one single person that have benefited in the long run from investing in genesis or hashflare, so really the bottom line is that they are a rip-off either way.

Don't bother with cloud mining, it's a waste of money and time.
1007  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best Vcc Provider.. Please Suggest. on: August 26, 2017, 10:30:19 AM
I would recommend trying out cryptopay.me, i have heard a lot of good things about them.

I would not recommend wirex due to the fact that on their thread a lot of people have been complaining about both their actual service as well as their customer service which is almost yobit like. even though their vcc is free i wouldn't get one due to the risk of losing money potentially.

Could try out advcash as well potentially, but don't store too much in there.

If you can provide ID then Bitpay, if not then cryptopay.me.
1008  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: bitaddress.org - wallet question on: August 26, 2017, 10:11:44 AM
What wallet would you recommend for altcoins?

I have heard exodus and jaxx are good ones, any opinions?

I would choose exodus over jaxx anyday because of the fact that Jaxx has significant security flaws that essentially allows anyone that has physical access to your phone to access your altcoins without any sort of warning. And they seem to be fine with it. Exodus is much slicker in its design, and it has a very nice team of professional bitcoiners, as well as a responsive support. You also have control over your own private keys.

Bitaddress is a good service, albeit not a very convenient one. I would recommend using it but i would use electrum for anything less than 0.05 BTC. Bitaddress is usually used for offline storage, so each time you want to generate a new address you'd have to run the site in offline conditions and type in random characters and all that. As i said, it's a hassle to manage all your addresses if you are going to use them quite often.
1009  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Launches SegWit, Max Keiser Raises ‘Interim’ Price to $10,000 on: August 26, 2017, 09:42:16 AM
Max Keiser has raised his Bitcoin price forecast to $10,000 as the cryptocurrency industry celebrates SegWit activation.

Joining figures such as Andreas Antonopoulos and Bobby Lee, Keiser, who is notoriously bullish on Bitcoin, said his “interim” price estimate had doubled from $5000.

Lee’s BTCC pool mined the first SegWit block for Bitcoin.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-launches-segwit-max-keiser-raises-interim-price-to-10000

I don't think that bitcoin is worth $10k right now, but if we look back from the future then i think we'll think that bitcoin was a steal at $10k. At each halving we have seen ibtcoin rise by at least triple the price, and i don't think that the next one will be any different.

$10k this year would be not likely but $10k by the next halving would be extremely likely, imo.

I don't need whatever implementations to understand that we at some point will reach $10K, $20K, $30K, etc. Bitcoin's demand has been increasing significantly throughout the years, and this is something that will continue to happen in the forthcoming years as well. Max Keiser is nothing more than an idiot and hypocrite. People that were here early enough will never forget how he maliciously prevented his MaxCoin from launching in a normal and fair manner. He has willingly abused his followers/fan base, where he made millions in profits in a very short time.

Exactly, this is the reason why you should take everyone's words with a grain of salt. Even the so called expert analysts are biased and if they are saying something there is usually an economic motive.
1010  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Police raids of miner homes? Should I expect one soon? on: August 26, 2017, 06:12:24 AM
Wow, what a story. It almost sounds like a fiction.

I do think that if you are doing nothing else illegal, and just mining, then the reason why all this happened was probably because of your electricity usage, especially when you are living in an apartment. Using so much electricity is simply not normal.

It could be possible that the police is working in conjunction with the power companies to catch weed growers, i don't know. It's a really wild guess. I have never mined with a lot of equipment consuming tons of energy, nor have i ever grown pot indoors. So i don't know man. Just try to not make yourself look too suspicious and you'd be alright.
1011  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any Reputable Bitcoin Lending Sites ? on: August 26, 2017, 04:28:37 AM

I want to borrow bitcoin, without collateral.

Any websites that use my credit rating ? just as Zopa do ?

New to this, so any advice welcome

If you have collateral then just post your loan request alongside what your collateral is in the lending section of the forum, there will be a lot of people willing to entertain this because of the fact that you have collateral.

I definitely would not recommend using a lending site, to borrow or to lend. If you let the lender hold your collateral, and the lending site collapses, then you could be losing out on a lot of money. vice versa to the lender, if they fill a no collateral loan. And we have indeed seen several p2p lending sites already close down.

Credit ratings don't mean shit in the cyberspace. Anyone can steal someone else's identity.
1012  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Livecoin exchange - thieves and scammers on: August 26, 2017, 04:25:50 AM
It's quite ironic because Ethereum's main function is smart contracts and these guys seem to deny the fact that contracts are irreversible or even legitimate, yet they are making bank off listing them as a trading pair.

Completely unacceptabel behaviour. They've got the coins in their wallet, therefore they should credit you. Simple as that. It's not like Ethereum contracts are significantly more reversible than ethereum network transactions or anything.

And they're denying you a refund... All i can say is wtf.
1013  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is Bittrex really this slow? on: August 26, 2017, 01:34:24 AM
Hey, everyone, I'm new to crypto trading and have been mainly using Bittrex. It seems fine so far, but it's so unbelievably slow to send bitcoin or other altcoins to and from my exodus wallet to the exchange.

In fact, was trying to trade this morning and sent bitcoin about 2 hours ago and it isn't even showing as a pending transaction yet in Bittrex.

It just seems extremely annoying that when I want to trade quickly it takes this long. Am I doing something wrong, or is Bittrex and all the transactions really that slow? Not sure if this is my impatience, or this is just par for the course?

What do you guys trade on?

Usually, no. When i deposit in bittrex it usually shows up on the pending deposit section in less than 1 minute. Sometimes i do get it after a long time but that really does not happen often at all.

This is weird, and you should talk to bittrex support about it. Markets move extremely fast and it really does no good that you have to wait for so much time before you can trade it. Instant transactions are supposed to be a main reason why people use cryptos.

Usually if it doesn't show up in pending it'll just go straight to your balance when it gets the required amount of confirmations. Have you gotten it into your balance yet?
1014  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: Bitpetite tumbler on: August 26, 2017, 12:51:38 AM
Anyone have thoughts about the bit petite tumbler and if its legit and how long it will last. I've invested about 10 ether and i am withdrawing my dividends. but skeptical about putting them back in for another 6 weeks

Do not reinvest. Get your money and run with it.

You shouldn't have even invested in the beginning because this was clearly a ponzi scheme. The leading banks can't even get 3% per day so why do you think some website that some anonymous admin runs will be able to provide it?

This site has nothing to do with tumblin coins, either.

If you want to mix your coins, use a reputable service like chipmixer in my sig.
1015  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Micro-BTC.com on: August 22, 2017, 11:14:31 AM
According to Alexa, the site has only had traffic since April.  I doubt they have 1.3 million suckers.
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/micro-btc.com

All cloud mining operations are a scam.  Why would they rent the hardware out to you for LESS than they could make mining?

Not all are scams, but all are either scams or ripoffs. The "legit" ones that actually have real hardware running will charge you a fortune in maintennance fees and you'll never be able to make your ROI back, ever. I wouldn't call them a scam, though.

On their website, it states that they have been mining for 688 days. However, the domain name micro-btc.com itself was registered only last year in August. It has no address/phone number on the site and looks like a total scam on what they are promising to offer.

Anyone know more about this company?

Great catch, but really you need to look no further than where it says guaranteed profits.

Anything that has guaranteed profits in it with more than 0.1% per day return is guaranteed scam.  Tongue
1016  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Warning fake web site cloudmining SCAM kanockpool.com on: August 22, 2017, 11:09:12 AM
The scam site appears to be gone now. Glad I tested out the free 100 gh for some days to see if it would pay out first before buying into this scam. I thought it was real because I just bought poolshares some days ago from a guy who uses your pool.
I managed to get cloudflare to show a warning before you get to the site so that probably helped for a while.

Now, however, they've moved off cloudflare and the IP 181.215.237.175 has no abuse/contact details in whois and they are back up and running.
As mentioned above, stay away from the site, it's a scam.

How was it possible to get cloudflare to do this? If we can do this to every scam site, it'll definitely help the bitcoin ecosystem out a whole lot.

The impersonator still up and running, though.

I'd be surprised actually if they gain a lot of scam victims. They don't have a stable advertising source since as soon as they advertise on this forum they will be bombarded with neg trust by DT members for impersonation. Also, i'd like to think that people who know anything about Kano pool should have an above average eye for obvious scams like this  Lips sealed
1017  Economy / Speculation / Re: SELL NOW, big bitcoin dump! No fud. on: August 22, 2017, 11:03:45 AM
People are getting info about November fork, we might see drop below 3600 in next 48 hours and before Nomber possibly to 3k or less, but 3k will probably be a huge support. Also 1/3 (33 %) of miners changed from btc mining to bitcoin cash mining. People will FUD, sell now, buy back later when bitcoin dips. Segwit 23 August was already priced in and we risk fiasco of unsuccessful segwit transactions and/or lost coins because of segwit security vulnerabilities. Even Slush pool CEO (inventor of bitcoin mining pools) said that he first needs to see segwit transactions, until then no one knows.

I don't think that if the price goes down it's about people getting to know about the potential november fork or anything like that. It's just that we haven't seen a sustained growth for a while now, price has just been floating around 4k-4.2k and going nowhere, and there are still margin traders out there that are paying interest on their loans. They probably think that btc isn't going to go much higher than this, so they close their long positions. This forces a lot more people to close their long positions essentially causing a chain reaction.

The most likely thing to happen is a dip at around $3500 lowest, and then rebound up to close to $4k before again correcting down to $3300 or so. Just my personal thoughts.
1018  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price of Bitcoin by 2018? on: August 22, 2017, 10:55:18 AM
Do you think that BTC can price $10,000 in 2018?

Well, it's not impossible for sure considering the fact that BTC has indeed 10x in value in the past 12 months.

However, if i were to bet on it i would definitely bet on it not happening because it's just simply too high of a target to achieve. To get there we'd have to break a lot of mental barriers(every single thousand dollar barrier is a big one to break).

Plus since we've come this far already i reckon we'll see some bearish market activity for around 1-2 years. This doesn't mean that pumps won't happen, it'll just mean that market will be bearish in general. But who knows, maybe fiat collapses next year and SHTF, everyone switches to using bitcoin. Nobody knows, but these events are of low probability.
1019  Economy / Speculation / Re: Recent Crash on: August 22, 2017, 10:40:32 AM
Anyone pissed off lately about the price drop next 2 me?  Huh

Those of us who bought it around 3700 eur hoping that it's gonna go for the 5K then it fall back under the frogs ass 3200 EUR...

Do you believe it's only due to Bitcoin Cash?


I want to see steady rollin up to 10k.




Well, there is really no reason thath you should be pissed. Should always be keeping a balanced portfolio, and when the price enters bubble territory you should be especilaly careful with speculating on btc's price going up.

$5k was almost in sight, wasn't it? But it was never going to be easy.

No, it's not bitcoin cash. When the crash came Bitcoin Cash hasn't been gaining a crap ton. I know it gained a crap ton beforehand but not during the correction. It was just that people been hyping about bitcoin way too much and ultimately there will have to be an adjustment in price, can't go up forever.
1020  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $4000 the perfect time to buy on: August 21, 2017, 10:59:27 AM
Considering just buying a few bitcoin around $4000. What are your opinions? Should I wait until it drops in September? Will it drop in October because of the hard fork, or will it go up because everyone wants to get their share of the fork coin? Will whales push the price down in September so they can accumulate it cheaper?

In the short term -> Segwit activation will mean that price will probably go up to something like $4500-$5000 in my opinion. $4k will give you moderate amounts of profit. Definitely not a whole lot though, don't expect the sort of profit that was made like before.

In the medium term, the bubble's going to pop.

$4k is going to be seen as very overvalued in a year's time, and btc is probably going to drop back down to around $2k.

In the long term, $4k is a steal. BTC has no limits imposed on its price in the long term, and is a great hedge against inflation. As more people adopt, the price will just keep going up.
