As far as I can tell that Mac problem is Safari specific. Quite a few users have reported problems and lost coins with it. I don't know why it hasn't been addressed.

If you're harvesting no one else can access your coins. Otherwise no one would be harvesting.

Everything depends on how Segwit is activated, not whether it activates.

If it's done along the original 95% lines, which is 100% unlikely, then everyone rejoices.

If it's this Seg2xHF or whatever, if that still insists on hard forks and closed door meetings then I think confidence in Bitcoin will fall.

If it's UASF that results in two chains then it's mushroom cloud time.

They're all one phone call or raid away from being shut down. They'll end up as poster boys for the dangers of centralisation without playing regulatory ball.

All tokens imply backing, and backing implies a point of failure.

No you can't. They'll shut you down. Business with them is down to their own discretion and they don't want anything to do with BTC. That's why there are no proper exchanges.



No UK Bitcoin business has ever managed to maintain a bank account, so the best option would be to wait for Fidor, but perhaps they'll never manage it precisely because they're Bitcoin friendly.

Perhaps you should ask the high ranking Localbitcoins traders. They must be managing something, though I've no idea what.

Another option is to have a trawl through here - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinUK/ as this pops up often. If I remember rightly Nationwide was regularly mentioned as not being too bad. It could've changed though.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264679.220 this thread too.

People use it because it's easy to game and inflate and it supplies large numbers that make you look cool.

Other than that it's misleading junk that's best forgotten about.

I do not care what this person thinks, whoever he/she may be. Bitcoin got to where it is without him and will continue its thing regardless.

And the price dropped because of his tweet? Are you fuckin serious?

No I don't. There are not millions. They chant it with such little enthusiasm that they probably don't even care what it means any more. If you don't chant it your own government probably beats the shit out of you.

You evidently feel strongly about people you've never met. Get over there and suicide bomb a nursery school.

 

Here's your answer - Circulating Supply 0.25257293 CHAO

So there is one quarter of one unit of whatever the hell this is available for the entire planet to buy.

The price of a single unit is not relevant unless you take into account the total number circulating, and even then it's pathetically easy to game.

All it takes for the whole thing to collapse is a handful of people to think 'hmm, what exactly have I paid all this money for?' and then a few more start to agree with them.

It's all very well saying awareness is growing, it is, but that doesn't mean any of it has delivered anything of genuine value. Most people putting money in don't have the slightest clue what they're doing. They probably can't even pronounce most of the names properly.

Most of the companies shouting 'blockchain, blockchain, yeeeeaah' will never get around to actually doing anything with it.

The prices can be absolutely vapourised and it won't matter in the long run. The ideas and tech will endure. The saps who piled in knowing nothing won't be remembered.

 

So you wish death upon every single Iranian, be they a child, baker, gardener, grandmother or surgeon?

Weirdly enough I do not condone any actions of my government and would like them all to be in prison forever. I'm sure most humans feel the same way no matter what country they're in.

That 'market share' isn't coming back. Crypto has diverged for good no matter how shitty or wobbly the different paths are. Different people are now doing different things under one very tenuous umbrella that should be abandoned. Anyone who didn't expect this is a silly sausage.

The OP is a fucking prick.

I know a few people who've been to Iran. They all nearly passed out at the utter joy of encountering such wonderful people.

The day the average person manages to separate real people from actions of a few cunts at the top is when the human race actually makes some progress.

You really should not be transferring directly from a dark market. Bitstamp is the most uptight exchange out there. If they track your coins from there, which is very possible, expect to be shut down.

As long as it stays above $666 I really couldn't give the remotest shit any more. Hello to fresh panickers. You too will feel the same some day.

I've had 'dollar hyperinflation' shouted at me for what seems like all eternity.

Hasn't happened yet and I'm getting deeply bored of it. It usually seems to be from people trying to sell you their lumps of useless shiny metal.

Nope. Pragmatic.

My wealth would be put at the mercy of a 90 pound Russian and his wiggly code. Fuck that shit.

There'll always be a crisis of some sort on the horizon. Make your peace with it.

I don't really care if ETH eats Bitcoin's lunch. If it completely buries Bitcoin I'll be going with it. It has nothing to do with what crypto should stand for.

Is this SMS 2FA? You shouldn't be using that anyway. It can be undermined by hackers porting your number.

Switch to google authenticator and with the secret code it gives you when you sign up you can have multiple backups operating at once.

Exchanges should let you back in if you email them from your registered address but with support as slow as it is these days forget chasing market moves.

Did anything ever come of this? I don't remember seeing anything.

They now run the Xbtprovider ETN listed in Sweden which isn't hugely reassuring considering their track record.

They're several thousand miles from me so there's nothing I can do. I also don't have the slightest clue what you're on about.
