Full node? So the owner will use the expensive storage of a phone and the even more expensive data plan?
Who on earth would use that?!

Yes, it's an interesting advertising, now everybody talks about it. But useful / practical? Nah.

How is it deflationary and also stable?
What value is it pegged to?
What (reputable) entity guarantees it's stable / stays pegged to that certain value?

Woah. I loved Poloniex before Circle. It was my favorite exchange back then.
Will Poloniex shine again? I don't know. But since the Circle business was the root of his recent problems, maybe, just maybe the split up will be good. I surely hope so.

Maybe it's possible to get back to cypto only without strict KYC restrictions? That could be a big step in the right direction.

Yep. Just reaching ranks means bigger pay in all the bounties, for basically the same job.
The problem is that many come to this forum only to earn money. This spoils the fun in the forum, fills it with nonsense and so on. Many of them may not even care about crypto.

People don't plan for long term and I think that OP should have emphasized this much more: if you go from day one for "how to get merit?", you most probably get either banned for plagiarism in less than a year, either get negative feedback for doing something fishy, either find almost impossible to rank higher than maybe Member. All this meaning no pay or low pay, so the opposite of the initial intention.

OP is right. Learning, reading before answering, keeping the discussions at useful and informative levels will be in the benefit of everybody involved and in a year or two you may be thanking yourself for going on this path.

Hello and welcome aboard.
The problem with the post is not its length, you'll see much longer posts here, it's its (lack of) structure.

Next time try to split things like this into 2-3 paragraphs so it can be read easier. People tend to avoid walls of text.

I think that he meant he's sinking.


About OP, I can also certify that Nano S works well and certainly works with OTG if your phone actually knows what OTG is.
I used it for Bitcoin only for now, with Electrum on computer and with Mycelium on phone.

Just a new 150$ drop, but that's not really exciting actually.
I don't know if we are heading for the infamous 7700 mark or it's a preparation for a nice jump towards 9000.

Is it me or he starts to understand that his old propaganda just makes him look stupid?
Is it me or he starts believing in Bitcoin?

Last time I've followed one minute of what he was saying, everything around him was shitcoin. Now it starts, with small steps, become a store of value? 
It's still far, but let's be nice and see that there's a bit of progress in it 

The answer to your question is always the same, no matter what: none.
You should trust no one on the internet; you don't know if he/she wants to help you or himself/herself. Always DYOR.

The only difference can be in case of a trade. Since an account is valuable, if you can prove you were scammed in a trade and get a DT believe you and tag the scammer, that account is basically ruined (no money from campaigns, low selling value, ... ). So in a trade there's a very good chance an account that worth more than the amount traded will no scam you.

Also, we're still on the trust area, you should read the feedback an account has got and decide for yourself if it worth your trust.
How old is that feedback is also important, since there were examples of trusted accounts getting hacked and sold, but usually that translates in a gap between the feedbacks.


Merit is not in the same category as trust. A scammer can write something very useful and meaningful and may get merit. So I'd get it out of the equation.

The timing may be caused by Libra. They were watching crypto currencies (especially Bitcoin) already, but the financial power and tight schedule behind Libra made them hurry with their homework (in regulating crypto). This is the main thing Libra has done until now (good or bad) : wake up the regulators.

The last part of that article is interesting. Although it contains the word Libra in it, it also tells about open-source blockchain. So it's going to be for Libra, but not necessarily only for Libra.

This can be (a bad) replacement for fiat. Something centralized and handled by the authorities and central banks. It will be almost no different from how fiat is now handled by the banks.
But it's bad version of fiat: fiat as paper money is still anonymous and untraceable. If replaced by this proposal it'll be a big step in the wrong direction.

And Bitcoin is meant to be something else: a currency NOT controlled by the authorities. And this is part of its success. And your proposal negates all that. So no. Really no.

If you can solve the puzzle, you should be able to get the 0.35 DASH yourself, since the solution of the puzzle is the private key of the wallet.
No other solution is valid and if you would have had reading you would have known that it's not OP who made the puzzle.

In the same way as Intel, AMD, Cyrix and maybe others too were all making x86 processors in the 90s, I think that anybody can make its own ASIC chip.

I think that only the (internal) design can be patented.

I start to think that you jinxed it with that game.  

If anyone follows this thread, you should reload Yobit page.
Yobit seems to work again for me, hopefully for you too.

Just think a little: do they have any interest in keeping high quality at bitcointalk, or it suits them better if bitcointalk fills up with spam and low quality posts?
Imho the only case they'll move a finger is if their campaign is risking a ban or anything.

That doesn't help.

The only way to fix it is to go to another route, like opening on cell data or via VPN, but even like this there's not 100% sure it'll work.


edit: UPDATE, Yobit is back (for me).

Bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous. This means that anyone can look and see the content of a wallet and if you are not super careful people will also know it's your wallet.
I don't know of any other currency that allows unknown people know how much money you have in your wallet or in your house. It would be thieves' heaven! Not even US Dollar allows that.

And while everybody is already concerned about losing privacy in current society (websites tracking you, cameras tracking you, ...) you say that the only currency for the future will show everything to anybody?

I think that you are awfully wrong.
I think that the future has to help people regain their privacy.
I think that the agencies should start to do more effort and more thinking also and find better methods to fight money laundering and terrorism. The money flow cannot be monitored. The ones who want to avoid monitoring, will always avoid it. There's gold, art and a lot of other means to hide funds, all showing that the current approach is incorrect.

That's correct. It's not a serious benefit.
Nowadays many people pay with debit/credit cards, so the germs from the paper are not really an issue.
Bitcoin has plenty of real benefits (which still need to be advertised), no use to waste the time with this kind of small things (imho).

It's not working for me neither, but I've read multiple people claiming that it is still working from certain countries / ISPs, so you may simply need some extra patience until they fix whatever is wrong.
