Though most escrows on the list are online less often than you are, I think. You would be wondered how many uses write to 5 escrows at a time and the first answering is dealt with. Or I answer some hours later and they already went another way. Other escrow or without escrow at all.

Might not be bad if you are there as an alternative. Many escrows even are online only once a day or so.

That's the difference to secular systems. Only because islamic systems forbid other beliefs way too often you should not fear that secular systems forbid the islam. Everyone is free to believe what he wants to believe. And a belief ends where you hurt the rights of others.

Well, I can't believe all this "we want a moderate islam" when it comes up in a secular country. You are even worse demanding the sharia. What is your belief? Salafism?

I wish religious people wouldn't try to put their belief over all other people.

Well I guess when he has to ask for 10 USD then he surely has no 150 USD to spend on developing and advertising a faucet service.

And I think most faucets fail. I'm not sure if it only happens because their admins are not working properly on it though.

Maybe when it is your first withdrawal you might check the verification status you have. It might be that the threshold of money you want to transfer is higher than the level of verification you currently have.

Might be they check you out first since it is your first withdraw too.

I think it's best to contact dargo. Somehow the support is not really usefull at kraken. Might be that they are overworked because of the current performance issues too.

Yes, it is not fixed. It is a normal market where you offer the loan for the price you want and others take it.

That is why I suggested marginbot. Free on the forum. It creates the offers automatically and makes sure that your money does not lie around useless and is getting the best rates.

I used it some time and it brings in returns. I think I calculated it to 24% a year. Or even higher? Anyway, I'm not sure if the reward dropped in the last months but you might try it and find out for yourself.

On hold or sending status? Mine was on sending until dargo checked out my support ticket. After that it went through. Don't know why it was not worked on.

Send dargo a pm with your ticket number...

Good question. Though I think the normal nodes are not the important part in electricity usage. The miners are. And that study said that the bitcoin protocol is 100 times more secure than needed. Means we have way way too many miners. Raising fees to reward miners is not needed, lowering rewards is needed to bring that into proportion.

I wish I could find the link to that study again. I think the energy usage per normal bitcoin transaction was said to be 1.25 or 1.75 average us-households use a day. Bigger transactions does use even more.

Well, at the beginning of the bitcoin protocol nobody thought we would have to fight an artificial restriction that limits the amount of transactions. The energy price per transaction can get cheaper the more transactions can be included in 10 minutes too.

Block halving will do their part. Miners will stop to mine and we will be safe way more than needed. We surely don't need a fee market because that means more miners will stay active and use energy for bitcoin. It's a simple market. As long as the reward for mining is high enough more miners will flow in. Raise the reward and you raise the energy consumption by the network. And vice versa.

Some even want to compensate for block halving with a fee market. Guess as a miner it would make somehow sense. As a bitcoin user it makes no sense.

If true then it shows that sharia, demanded because of rapists, is misused as wished. Which is always the case when "belief" is ruling. It opens space to all kind of misuse.

Even when there are normal moslems promising to rule the country in a good way... past has shown that they might start that way but slowly getting more radical. So when I would live in such a country, I would never ever vote for a party that wants to rule after religious rules.

I'm not aware of any investment offering that. Though be happy about it. All of these ventures ended in scam, inept businessmans or other problems. Everyone invested did lose more than they won.

Maybe he should be named "not so smart", because when it's known that he has that amount then it means he is like 100 normal banks nowadays. Banks only have a couple thousand in cash lying around to bank robbery makes nearly no sense anymore. And then there is a person holding 400k of it. What would a gangster do? Rob a lot of banks or have a very easy target?

I'm sure there are not many bitcoiners that would not cough out the privkey to their wallet when someone is putting in .... um... pressure.

So when it is know that someone has that amount of money then he either is the owner of a company, so it is needed to be known, or a private person that didn't care much about or is a show off.

You should consider posting more than one posts one after another. You wear a signature and you can get a ban for it.

It would be more interesting to calculate the amount of power used by the bitcoin network per transaction. Sure, central banks have huge server farms but the amount of transactions they handle each day are enourmous compared to bitcoin.

If I remember correctly then there was a study that said that each bitcoin transaction eats the power that 1.XX average US-households use per day.

He could upload it on bitfinex and use the free MarginBot to lend the USD out to traders. He would receive around 20% a year. At least it was that way some months ago.

The risk would be that bitfinex is an exchange and exchanges can go down.

Investments are always risky. You should think of them the way that you might get 100% in a year on top of your investment but when you start you lose 100% and the question is open if you will get your investment back at all.

I think btc-e.com does still not proof identities. They are not operating officially because the country they are located in is not bitcoin friendly.

I think you can withdraw anonymously there. In the worst case they can only give out what they have. Which in fact turns it into an exchange used by scammers. Of course many users from developed countries use it too because other exchanges don't allow them to register.

Huh? Gold reserve means that they only could print as much money as the gold they had in reserves was worth. It was backed by the gold. Only when the dropped that connection they could start to print like they wished.

I sent Lucky Blocks a pm though I'm not sure he will answer because it seems he was not online since half a month.

Regarding the stuck chain, is it because no one is mining on the chain? Though it would be a strange block to halt, shortly before the next bonus reward.

Anyway, I still hold some bonus block rewards in the escrow address. I checked the status and found the following:

We had 8 investors. I'm not sure if everyone followed the rules about how to be able to verify himself though.

I think all blocks except block 40k, 70k and 80k were claimed. At least I only found claims for the other blocks. Maybe someone can tell me the date of the 40k found so I can check especially then if it was claimed. But I think the miner forgot or did not care about.

Questions that come up now are what happens when the chain gets fixed and miner claim the 70k and 80k blocks? Or the 40k one. Iam the escrow and so the question would come up why I released those coins. So it has to be sure that the coin is dead.

Next thing, did no initial investor sell? I did not observe the prices so I wonder if every initial investor would be the one with the damage or maybe someone who bought his coins and lost because of value was going down. Of course it could mean that someone bought it up now in the hope of a partly refund.

I think there are some points to discuss and maybe the issuer says something, though I see he was not online since a long time.

Still nothing 4 and a half hour after 12 o'clock UTC.

Thanks for the offer, I will pm you my support ticket.

So far I had no errors or something like that when trying to withdraw.

Ah ok, thanks. Hope it happens still since it is still in that status and 12 UTC should be over already. Maybe they have many withdraws to work on.

Might be that I only withdrew in a week till now. So I did not see that they don't process on weekends.

You mean most of the fee can be gotten back when it expires?

Well, I'm only surprised that colored coins are not able to create a normal orderbook like on exchanges. Though I don't know much about the tech behind. It's unfortunate since it means everyone has to trade outside of the wallet. I know the dex can be included as a plugin or so but that does not help for the occasional trader. The normal trader searches the orderbook it's empty and that was it for him.

I would not want to use traditional exchanges anymore because of the security risks on there.

NXT is too difficult, high learning curve, and even though shares can be traded there paying out bitcoins as div is complicated and not working out of the box. Naturally, since shares are bound to nxt addresses and not to bitcoin addresses.

When I would use the dex for offering shares, then is it used to trade traditional shares on there too or is it practically only for gaming cards?

Does kraken have sepa withdrawal issues? I did a withdraw on saturday and today, on monday, it's still pending. I guess such a website can't send their employees on weekend so why was it not yet processed? I waited for the money and now it is not even sent?

Normally it went pretty fast into status success as far as I remember.

I already created a ticket though I wonder when I will get an answer...

Better use a smartphone. A video camera will let him look and close the door instantly. There are apps for recording a video with the smartphone while it is closed.

Though I think he will not open anyway now that he knows a stranger will show up on his door in some time.

Well, live of a scammer seems not to be the cool gangsta life.
