If I were a customer of this Bitcoin exchange, I will also be outrage with this handing private info. They have no right in the first place to ask for it? What is the purpose? And for the exchange, customer should get out because they have already been compromised. Then this exchange now would nothing be short of a bank now, which will defeat the purpose of using them in the first place. Government agencies are really cracking on the bitcoin ecosystem and time will only tell us that all exchanges will be regulated as well by the government.

I think Bob Arum is in the works for a rematch between the two. Let us see how it goes. Hope that Pacquiao will get the deserving win this time. Jeff Horn v Manny Pacquiao rematch firming for November in BrisbaneA SOPHISTICATED ceiling of airconditioners could be installed over the boxing ring to counter the summer heat for the Brisbane rematch between world champ Jeff Horn and Manny Pacquiao. The Courier-Mail understands the rematch is firming for November 12 at Suncorp Stadium, with plans being made to deal with the summer heat. The Queensland Government is yet to sign on the dotted line, however, discussions are well advanced to hold the rematch in Brisbane. Concerns had been raised about Brisbane’s ability to host an outdoor fight in the later months of the year, given the heat and threat of storms. But it’s understood those factors are being taken into account, with the possibility of using airconditioners above the ring to keep the fighters cool. http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/jeff-horn-v-manny-pacquiao-rematch-firming-for-november-in-brisbane/news-story/38f3ad34c58ef1ffd48d1408196c90b9 |

The fork has gone through and with the fork, bitcoin has been split into normal Bitcoin and a new type of alt coin, Bitcoin cash. After the fork seems like prices for Bitcoin have risen and the price is not almost 2.9K. Seems like Bitcoin will hit 3K at the end of this month for sure with the rate it is growing now.
Most miners have abandoned Bitcoin cash though, August the one was just an event overhyped and it honestly didn’t affect us that much. Price of Bitcoin cash hit 700 yesterday but now it is at 300-400 USD. Slowly seems to be dying.
Of course, without the support of users, BCH will simply die. But if there are people behind, like big entities, it will survived but it will just be a pump and dump coin. It may bubble in the future, but we all know that it will be bursting soon. The event just go unnoticed and the price of bitcoin even go to $2900 now. Its one thing to hype BCH but without the backup of big miners who rather stick with bitcoin for now. And I think with the recent split, bitcoin price will gradually rise and will peak at $3000 again or even more. |

I have also used exodus wallet few months ago and found them really handy but I left them because they will not give you full control over your cryptos (i.e. they don't share private key with you). Jaxx is another multicoin wallet out there which shares private key with users as well as they never send any of your wallet data to their servers. You can use Jaxx as alternative to exodus like me.
I downloaded exodus wallet about a few weeks ago and I thought that they you full control of your funds there that's why I want to used it. While jaxx is a better option, I think there was a news that someone has lost funds in there. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/users-report-losing-400000-due-to-jaxx-wallet-vulnerability/So it is not a safe option as well. So to be safe, don't used jaxx. I felt disappointed with exodus, I thought you have can full control over it. |

It is good app and i submit in it $110 and i have missed this chance to make millionaire. It is my bad luck. But instead of it i came in bitcoin field not too much late. Because when i came in bitcoin then bitcoin price was $300 and now you look bitcoin give me triple profit and it is enough and good for me, because i am not greedy person. Many of us missed that chance for becoming a millionaire. I think its not too late thou, there are other coins that will make this rise in next 7 years. But which ones? 110$ invested in couple good and new altcoins can bring a fortune in next 5-10 years. In 2011 I wasn`t here, but I`m now and i have some picks, I save in bitcoins now so anything can happen. This application is nice for dreamers and people who are not in bitcoins yet, in this way they can see how big opportunity they are missing for not being active here. Of course eventhough that there have been missed opportunity in the past, we still can invest in bitcoin and possible be a millionaire in the future. That is why bitcoin saving is really worth but you need to have a good patience in order to enjoy profit later. I'm still trying hard to earn at least 1 bitcoin in my wallet and will not touch it whatever happens. |

Recently, many banks are having some problems like unexplained reduction of the balances of the customers accounts, ATM card skimming and much worse is that the people working in banks have access to the accounts and can do whatever they want to the accounts so those who have bad intention can easily do it. Our money is not secured in banks anymore. Good thing there is bitcoin when you have control of your money and the start of blockchain technology can prevent this things happening if its totally implemented.
Globally, this has been the issue of most banks. Hackers (sounds familiar isn't it) skimming and other schemes that fall to the category of like bank is stealing money from us. I still have funds in a bank and do regularly used it specially that my day job pays thru ATM's which is very convenient for most of us. But I do believed that most of the banks are really taking advantage of people like high interest rates, not giving enough time to people to pay loans and harassment if you haven't done your payment. But as financial institution, banks will remain here whether we like it or not. |

Are there any apps or things online to help me earn actual bitcoins? I am looking for obviously other ways to earn other than buying due to the large cost per coin at the moment. Any information here would be great!

What do you think of Bitcoin Cash?
Do you think it will have the same value as Bitcoin or it will be just another Alt. Coin in the crypto market?
Bitcoin cash probably will not have the same value as bitcoin because there are some that don't support, moreover bitcoin cash is a fork of bitcoin, bitcoin cash is a altcoin. Of course it will not get any support from the community except to get this coins for free and dump it for BTC again. And it will not gain any popular assistance because it is just a altcoin.
BCC is just another coin, I would say it will end up as altcoin and will be used in dumping and pumping on exchangers. It's gonna be biggest flop stunt by devs.
Agreed. Those who will support this will have that in the back of their minds. They will suddenly pump it then dump when the price is good. Or they will create a bubble out of it and people are suckered into buying and holding without realizing that it is a trap that you can't get out once they have dump it hard. |

Nice thread. But I didn't get this formula "activity = min(time * 14, posts)" does this mean that I can increase my activity limit after tow weeks ? Also does the activity limit increases everytime ypu rank up? Thank you.
No. Activity points doesn't increase even though you rank up. Its still 14 activity points every two weeks regardless of your rank. looks like ther's no shortcuts here ))
By now you already should understand that there are no shortcuts. You have to stay active in this forum if you have dreams to become like Hero/Legendary someday. You need to be active for 8 months or more to achieve this kind of status. Ah. So it's really hard to rank up in just two weeks, the shortest time tp rank up is 1 month then? Say, if I posted 20 times under two weeks, I will only get 14 activity right? So what will happen to the excess post? Will it be counted in the next two week? Or will it be discarded. Thank you. Yes. The minimum to rank is 1 months which will give you 42 activity points meaning you are now a Junior Member. Then you have to wait for another month to become a Member then. 14 activity points is the max that you can get every 2 weeks. Nothing will happen to the excess post. It will not be discarded. So don't think that post count = activity point. No. Its not like that. What forum account levels are there? There are multiple account levels on this forum, here is a quick list for all of them and how to get them: 0 Posts: Brand New 1 Activity: Newbie 30 Activity: Jr. Member 60 Activity: Member 120 Activity: Full Member 240 Activity: Sr. Member 480 Activity: Hero Member 775-1030 Activity (random): Legendary Hope this helps. Thanks Baofeng for clarifying this. Basically, I won't be able to become a Jr. Member until August 16, since my account is only created this July 15. Is that right? Exactly, You will be officially become a jnr member on Aug 16. I know that you are very excited so that you can join signature campaign. hahahaha. Just be patience and go around the forum and learn something new at least a day and you are very much in the road to become more experienced member in due time. Goodluck. |

No any blocks were mined in bitcoin cash which shows majority of hashpower is with bitcoin so bitcoin is already safe for transactions. But nobody are being able to move their BCC to sell on high prices.
Viabtc has already mined the first bitcoin cash block. But I don't think its sustainable in the long end. https://pool.viabtc.com/pool/BCC/state/bitcoin price will continue staying in this channel, going up and down but increasing the bottom each time and testing the ATH each time it does before it breaks through and goes above the $3000.
this may take a while though, but when it breaks the $3000 resistance i'd expect the real rally to begin.
I believed so, the price will hover around $2700-$2900 for a while before seeing the magical $3000 barrier being breach. We will test it again for sure and will try to sustain it there we can. Probably a month or 2 is needed and when if its sustainable, then expect the price to rise even more in the future. |

I finally understand now how we get upgraded in rank here in bitcointalk. Thank you  To even help you estimate how many weeks you need to rank up. You may use this: https://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/Instructions are pretty much straighforward. Just plug in your User ID. If you go to your profile on Bitcointalk and click any of the links under Additional Information, part of the URL will have u= folowed by a number. That number is your User ID. I think activity points have been given. For those who haven received it yet, I think you need to post at least once or thrice to see your rank up. I just ranked up to Full Member today, fyi.  |

Someone say yes someone say no. Explain me in scientific way. yes or no?
It's considered as an altcoin. No one wants to adopt bitcoin cash maybe because it was new in cryptocurrency. In this case, bitcoin cash is an altcoin. I perceived it will be altcoin forever. Bitcoin is the best! It is not bitcoin there technically you can call it an altcoin. And most altcoins hope to either replace or improve upon at least one Bitcoin component. Maybe just a few will adopt BCH but it will not be the main crypto for one thing. And it can very well used by some groups for their pump and dump activity like what we are seeing to a lot of altcoins right now in the market. |

I still can not even dream that the price will exceed 4000 dollars. Especially when you consider that now everyone is talking about a split.
Bitcoin can achieve such a high price only after 6-8 months
This will be a hard fork for all of us. Whether bitcoin will be properly split? We all hope that bitcoin will reach 4000 $ in the near future. If you speculate for the next 6-8 months. That's too long I think the last quarter of the year will be very big for bitcoin market. The price could literally take of the ground and go to the moon. After the split we can easily get to $3000 and from there it will eventually rise to new levels we maybe even get to $5000 after the end of the month. So its better to hold on our bitcoin so that the chances for all of us getting big profits at the end of the year is very high. The split has little effect or the effect will just be temporary. |

What do Core think of Bitcoin CashThe question in the title is misleading. Because what Core think, and what Core and Blockstream want you to think and believe, are two entirely separate things. Recently Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr (aka Luke-jr) wrote an opinion piece almost entirely about “Bitcoin Cash” itself. But before we get onto the Bitcoin Cash topic here, let me address one glaring point made by Luke early on in his piece. Given that Segwit2x is well underway now, Luke actually makes an admission – stating, and I quote “Basically, BIP148 (UASF) was an early success”. This statement conclusively reaffirms statements I made in an earlier piece that Blockstream (UASF) and DCG ( Segwit2x) are in bed together. And I’m going to restate this – big blockers have been played. But Luke’s ponderous post is genuinely a marvel in deceit. He bewilderingly states that “Bitcoin Cash” is an altcoin, and that it is an attempt to hijack Bitcoin. This play on words is all too common within the Blockstream camp. The hijacking came from Blockstream and no one else. But to help illustrate this point, allow me to paint this picture. Suppose you are part of an open source project. You release a founding paper specifying your project’s inner workings, methods, and overall operation. Your project is unfunded, but passionately developed within an open, transparent, thriving community. A new company emerges, and cleverly makes its way among your development team, and receives an incredibly large amount of funding from some very big players in the industry. This company then starts to weed out some of the early developers of the project, and particularly those who don’t agree with the company’s very distinct vision. Discussion and promotion of the original founding paper is prohibited. This company then (for argument sake let’s just call it Blockstream) rewrites the project to a vision that is incompatible with its original founding paper. So then in retaliation a small group of people, some who were there in the beginning, come together, and re-launch or rather see the continuation of the original project with the original intention, following the original founding paper. Who in the above paradigm hijacked the project? Unless you are heavily compromised, it takes no genius to figure out the answer. Blockstream took over Bitcoin, fundamentally changed its course direction, and are now actively attacking the minority who wish to retain the original vision. Bitcoin’s community has been aggressively split for several years now. If Luke’s heart was in the right place, he should genuinely wish Bitcoin Cash all the best, and in fact thank them for going their own way, and finally ending years of dispute. Instead he chooses to attack further. Segregated Witness is an extreme departure from the Bitcoin described in inventor, and creator, Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper. Satoshi in his wisdom wrote “Bitcoin can already scale much larger than [VISA] with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost.” Bitcoin was already scaleable, it didn’t need Segwit. The threat “Bitcoin Cash” poses is that it can finally prove itself, with the removal of the 1MB temporary cap it will demonstrate to the world that Core devs were lying all along, and Bitcoin can scale to astronomical heights, and operate very efficiently and securely. So now the new agenda by Core and Blockstream is to attack “Bitcoin Cash” as an altcoin, and to discredit its position as the true Bitcoin. But anyone reading Satoshi’s whitepaper and other writings will instantly recognise that ‘Bitcoin Cash’ is indeed the coin the inventor and creator desired. But this isn’t about doing it for ‘Satoshi’. It is about recognising that there was nothing ever wrong with the original roadmap for Bitcoin. The derailment by Blockstream into Segwit isn’t for Bitcoin’s benefit, it is actually for the benefit of Blockstream and its many investors. Luke also stated that “this isn’t a particularly unique or even first-of-kind altcoin: “Bitcoin Dark” and “Bitcoin Plus” have tried to hijack the “Bitcoin” name previously”. Again, he mentions the term ‘hijacking’. This isn’t hijacking anything. If Blockstream chooses to fundamentally change the inner workings of Bitcoin, and a group of loyalists who truly believe in Bitcoin’s capability in its current form with the transaction cap removed choose to keep things as they are – why should it not be called Bitcoin? Bitcoin Cash is true Bitcoin in every sense of the word, and is 100% aligned to the whitepaper description. Luke’s stated “Bitcoin Plus” and “Bitcoin Dark” are both non-compliant to Bitcoin’s whitepaper, and further they did not maintain Bitcoin’s existing ledger as they were not forks of the main chain. Luke’s inclusion of these two cryptos is intentionally misleading. Segwit on the other hand is so much a departure from Bitcoin’s whitepaper that if you would determine altcoins on technicalities alone, Segwit would be it, hands down. Where does the white paper mention splitting witness data? Why should a central body, such as Blockstream, have the final say as to what Bitcoin is and isn’t? Bitcoin Cash’s value and status will in the end be determined by the free and open market, not by the rantings of a Core developer. https://news.bitcoin.com/core-think-bitcoin-cash/

Some of the well known trading platforms and look at the price and I find it quite exciting: Kraken - $2,906.105 Bitfinex - $2,850.00 Gemini - $2838.08 Bitcoin may break ATH before the fork. . What do you think that influenced this price gain prior to the "feared" Aug 1? Edit: Cex - $2860.28 BitMex - $2862.4 |

Bill Gates is already rich. He doesn't need any other investments.
So we can't blame him if he doesn't want to invest in btc.
On the contrary, because he is rich, he can easily throw in money to the latest crazed which is bitcoin. Bill Gates is very rich, why not put a little investment in bitcoin then? if you lose then its nothing, if you gain then you can used your money to good purpose which he and Belinda has been doing for several years now. Bill gates do not use bitcoin because it is his investment and if you have investment then you will not use it or even touch it because it is preserved for long term purposes and the only thing that bill gates do with his bitcoins is just hold them and monitor them so he can see the changes and the possible profit or loss on his investment.
I'm at lost here. It totally contradicts your statement. Bill Gates has enough money so that if he put investment in bitcoin definitely he will not touch it long term. The first sentence says "Bill gates do not use bitcoin" and before the ending, you says "that bill gates do with his bitcoins is just hold them". Just saying. |
