You should try posting in the "Services" section. There are some folks over there that could help you.

I've been waiting for the bull confirmation for a long time.

Lately I've been noticing that people love the blockchain but not bitcoin. Nasdaq wants to use the bitcoin blockchain but not bitcoin... will the term bitcoin get left behind? Will the new term for unspent outputs on the blockchain be renamed to bllockchain shares or blockchain packets? If so domain speculators should get. Buyblockchains.com or similar

This only tells you ONE thing: They are all AMBIVALENT towards crypto

It tells me that they actually like bitcoin, but when they want to tell the public they are using it they would rather say blockchain technology.

Not the first time Szabo has been speculated as Satoshi. Nothing original here NYT. Also I don't believe Szabo is Satoshi.

The slide in price seems to have stopped for the time being at least.
Bears haven't been able to take us any lower.
Do we think that 230 is the bottom at least in the short term?
Any ideas which direction the price will head next?


I'm expecting another uptick to the $250 mark this weekend.

This is my video.
Not sure why having the change address would give you a 26 error (rejected by network rules).
I hope you didn't send too much as a mining fee.
I did explain between the 8:30 - 9 minute mark that if you don't include a change address the remainder will go to mining fees.

what is the best java or php Huh
2 different languages for 2 different purposes.
I like php since I'm comfortable with it for backend web dev.
Java is good for app development.
Not to be confused with javascript which is good for website interactivity.

Block Chain Technology:  BCT rather than BTC?

Or BTC (blockchain transfer credits)

Quote from: /r/bitcoin
So, to be abundantly and perhaps pedantically clear, Nasdaq’s platform will trade shares by trading bitcoins. This is not blockchain-technology standing alone, this is Bitcoin being used by Wall Street. It is technically impossible to use Bitcoin’s blockchain without holding and transacting in bitcoins. In this case, Nasdaq is using Bitcoin’s blockchain.”

What is the minimum size transaction accepted by the network right now? 5,430 satoshi or something?

Let's say when wallstreet starts trading using bitcoin they name 5,430 satoshi a blockchain packet or a blockchain share?
I'm saying could it be possible that wallstreet might do this so they can use and transact in bitcoin without having to say the word bitcoin? There's a reason you see these articles where they only mention blockchain technology and not bitcoin, and I'm assuming that's due to the negative association that comes with the word bitcoin.

I feel there's confusion. I'm not saying they will create their own chain. That wouldn't work because noone would mine it or run a node. My OP intended to ask the question if the unit of value, currently known as bitcoin will be rebranded as blockchain shares or packets since they don't like the association to bitcoin. Its still the same thing just being rebranded
1171  Economy / Speculation / Re: is bitcoin getting rebranded as the blockchain? on: May 12, 2015, 04:43:12 PM
What do they want, a centralised blockchain? i'm not getting exited about that idea.

a new decentralised blockchain? how will they do that?

If they want to use the blockchain they need Bitcoin, they know that right?

Ore is it they wont tell the media they love Bitcoin also, that wil trigger a huge rally and burns there planning? Bitcoin got so much power, it make sence tho.

Good question from OP, i'm gonna think about it for some time.


As I understand they are going to use THE blockchain which will require bitcoins to transact. I'm thinking tge units currenly known as btc will be renamed blockchain shares or packets

Bitcoin has a much much lower chance of failure now than it did when I bought in for $10 in 2011. This isn't even my first 18 month bear market. This is normal, but hodling is hard. At the next ATH when we find ourselves regretting not buying MOAR NOW, don't let anybody tell you you didn't earn every bit of it.

Wish I got in back in 2011, but hindsight is 20/20 I probably wouldn't have bought much. I remember first hearing about bitcoin in 2012 and I completely dismissed it as being equivalent to WOW gold. I literally thought that it was some centralized website selling digits for money. I remember thinking, why would anyone pay for that crap? I didn't even look into it to discover that it was actually a revolutionary new technology.

The market cap of all shares on Nasdaq Stockholm was 6,045 billion SEK (733 billion USD) at the end of april. 19,537 million SEK (2,370 million USD) was traded daily.

Don't underestimate the potential of Bitcoin Tracker One.


Time: T minus 7 days and 7 hours.




Even as a permabull I'm kinda doubting the Stockholm launch. I don't know why, but I am. It's great for the validity of bitcoin, and it helps move bitcoin out of the fringe anarchic nerd circle, but for some reason I'm not expecting much volume from KNCs Bitcoin Tracker.  Lets hope I'm proven wrong.

Sounds like a VISA/MASTERCARD/WESTERN UNION mentality, the user should not be the one burdened by the block size limit. Increase the blocksize, DO NOT INCREASE USER FEES. I should not have to pay more if I want to be sure my transaction gets confirmed. If it's going to cost me 0.01 to send a transaction, myself as well as the free market will migrate to another coin for transactions.

Great idea, go spam your useless dice transactions on some other shitcoin's blockchain.

It's not about dice. There are so many use cases with bitcoin and micro transcations that's gets cut off by this idea. If I want to send $2 or $3 to pay back a friend for a cup of coffee, that is considered spam? Musicians like myself who want to sell a mp3 for 50 cents using a paywall is now spam. We are dealing with a free market and if you try to make it all bout the miners bottom line instead of the users, you will not have users. Usability is partly what gives bitcoin it's value, take that away and you take away the value.

I have a feeling that the SEC has already put their stamp of approval on COIN behind closed doors. What are they waiting for is the question. They approved a singapore corporation to open an exchange in NY (itbit). I believe they are waiting for Lawksy's office to role out the bit license before announcing that COIN is approved.
1178  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 10, 2015, 04:29:07 PM

I don't think its backed by real BTC. When you buy oil shares, you don't back up your shares with buying more actual oil.

Au contraire

"XTB Provider AB will hedge all sales of the bitcoin traded note by buying an equal value in the bitcoin market."

May 2015, the month that bitcoin went institutional with GBTC going live and Nasdaq Stockholm. Will we be able to look back in X amount of years and see it as a significant date in either adoption or price? I'm thinking maybe.

As for short term right now not really any walls visible, but I think we are going to drop a little further for a day or two. Trend wise, I'm confident the 18 month bear trend is at a close.

I believe the scarce resources of the highly redundant and decentralized Bitcoin ledger should not be used by low value transactions that do not contribute to the network security

http://insidebitcoins.com/news/barry-silbert-plans-to-have-bitcoin-fund-traded-on-nasdaq-or-nyse/32161
“Our plan is to have [the Bitcoin Investment Trust] listed on either NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange as fast as possible. We have selected a law firm to go through the registration process with us, and we intend to file with the SEC . . . as soon as possible. We will then be in the same boat as the Winklevoss brothers.”

Assuming they file right now would there be a chance they can beat COIN out the gates or would their filing have to go through the same long process?

Except COIN would be way more liquid as a true ETF instead of the trust that Barry hacked together to squeeze into the markets. Once both are available through major markets I'm pretty certain that most people would choose to trade COIN over GBTC. Time will tell!
