Definitely if you have some skills offer them in the forum and you might get some work that way, alternatively starting off you could buy some altcoin/s and keep your fingers crossed that the price increases which will gain you some bitcoin Smiley
1222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could Bitcoin be replaced, at least temporarily, by Ether? on: March 27, 2017, 09:02:03 AM
I think there is far too much invested in bitcoin for it to be tossed aside for whatever reason, if it does suffer a setback it will work it's way back.  ETH will be a competitor to bitcoin and will always be the lesser of the two in my opinion.

This is a nice thing to know especially considering who Deloitte are, secretly supporting bitcoin.  Is there a specific place you saw this news? I will have a quick google to find out some more info on this.

The Tale Of Bitcoin

Once upon a time there was loads of space in blocks. And all the TXNS lived happily being processed quickly.

Then the number of TXNS become so large that the blocks were full.

The Blocksize was increased. (This has already happened in the past)

The number of Nodes running the FULL version of Bitcoin shrank.. (more resources required - bandwidth / storage etc..)

La la la - all the txns are happy again, as the blocks weren't full, and they could all be processed quickly.

Then the number of TXNS become so large that the blocks were full.

The Blocksize was increased. (This has already happened in the past)

The number of Nodes running the FULL version of Bitcoin shrank.. (more resources required - bandwidth / storage etc..)

La la la - all the txns are happy again, as the blocks weren't full, and they could all be processed quickly.

Then the number of TXNS become so large that the blocks were full.

...

BU : We want Bigger blocks again!

CORE : Well.. every time we increase the Blocksize we have PROOF that the number of full nodes decreases. This will  obviously end with a single digit number of miners being the only ones even capable of running a full node. Let alone mining. Not great for decentralisation. Let's try a different route ?

BU : NO! We want bigger blocks. And Give the power to increase the size to the Miners..

CORE : But we just explained how we feel this will destroy the central premise of Bitcoin ? And give FAR TOO MUCH power to a handful of miners.

BU : SHUT IT! We want bigger blocks. And if you don't give it to us we're going to split the network! And give the power to the already overly-powerful Miners.

CORE :  Well - we have a solution that gives us INFINITE capacity without increasing the Block size ? Are you interested now ?

BU : NO! NERDS!.. Give us Bigger Blocks!

..

.. boom. The End.

Haha, this is something I may read to my 2 year old before bed, nicely done.
1226  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-03-24]Major Banks See Massive Decline in User Base, Can Bitcoin Capitalize on: March 24, 2017, 09:50:22 AM
It's not that these users are flowing into Bitcoin, but more that they move from the well known traditional banks to new banks aiming to be user friendly and open for youngsters to develop themselves. It has been happening for years that newly started up banks gain quite an impressive number of younger users as they completely lost faith in the well known larger banks. Funny thing is that at some point, the major banks these users look to avoid, will be buying up these smaller banks, and thus nothing will change. Cheesy
Agree, I have been watching a lot of these 'challenger banks' appear and they are looking to engage especially millenials through their use of tech and focusing on a more mobile approach, a list I just googled will give you an idea of some of these new banks http://fintechnews.ch/fintech/the-worlds-top-10-neo-and-challenger-banks-in-2016/6345/ although only a few have obtained a banking license which they will need to become a fully fledged 'bank' this seems to be the way forward. 

There will of course be the threat of the major banks buying these challenger banks and incorporating their tech into their own services, but who knows, there might be the odd one or two that can stand on it's own legs.

You seems to have a good features and a good roadmap but unfortunately you miss a lot of readers by not posting it,in the right category,this thread should be in the altcoin announcement sections,once posted here get ready to get a lot of bounty offer.
Also a good idea to add ANN to the beginning of your subject to show people this is an announcement.
1228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's the next "BIG THING" in the altcoin world on: March 23, 2017, 05:38:10 PM
Not going to choose anything on the list as there are others I am interested in, WBB is a long time coming and soon it will release it's new ANN, Bitbay is a possibility although not totally sure but for me WBB is my pick.
1229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: whales are back to BITTREX on: March 23, 2017, 11:14:05 AM
I prefer Bittrex, Poloniex tends to do my head in with all the flashing in the order books, it's non stop Bittrex is a little bit calmer.

Have you checked out this thread ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0 quite a few gambling sites have campaigns, not sure about using your own referral in the signature but I am sure some will allow it.
1231  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: freebitco.in Annual investment on: March 22, 2017, 06:03:15 PM
Even though their services are legit and It's probably the longest running faucet that exists, I wouldn't take such a risk and this could even be seen as a red flag, you should think of all scenarios.
I agree, there could be many reasons for this that are not clear at first, the hope is that users of the faucet will just leave their coins there long term.  4% is not bad in banking terms but in the crypto world there are other ways to get a larger return.

I would suggest caution.

Which other ways to get a larger return?

Investing in one of the gambling sites or investing in altcoins would provide a better rate, of course everything is a gamble but I would rather invest in some altcoins then wait a year in the hope that my money is still there for a 4% return.
1232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is getting out? on: March 22, 2017, 05:47:44 PM
Bitcoin isn't going anywhere, if anything it might be worth holding for the split and then you can decide to hold or sell either coin, many of the exchanges will be treating unlimited as an altcoin initially, interesting times lay ahead.

I haven't used Yobit in a long time, used to like both Yobit and C-Cex but for some reason just stick to Bittrex now really for the coins I hold, Yobit has got a horrible reputation for support according to many threads on here.
1235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can I Sell Dash on: March 22, 2017, 03:12:05 PM
DASH is too expensive now to enter for me anyway, I thought about it a while ago but no way am I jumping on this train before it runs out of track, good luck to those that made profit.  Margin trading I would recommend only for those that know what they are doing, it can be quite risky.
1236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers claim to have hacked apple and demanded 75k$ ransom in btc or eth on: March 22, 2017, 12:54:17 PM
Bitcoin always gets highlighted when things like this happen, but reading the article they say that there is little to no evidence / proof so what gets me is why bother doing the story until at least it can be substantiated, it's all about sensationalism nowadays in the press.
1237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: March 22, 2017, 12:50:22 PM
I can't imagine there are that many people that outright hate bitcoin, if they did then they would have had to be affected in a negative way at some point, which means at some point they would have had to like bitcoin, maybe.

Bitcoin I suppose isn't for everyone right now as it is kind of underground still and I find when trying to inform someone about bitcoin it ends up becoming a long sales pitch and people think it's difficult to get into. 
1238  Economy / Economics / Re: The best time to invest. on: March 22, 2017, 12:14:10 PM
I think the best time to invest is when you have the money and you will not go without by investing it, especially at this time when the price seems to be hovering around the $900 - $1000 mark you would probably be waiting a good bit of time to see it going below $900/$800 so i would say anytime now would be a good time.
1239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Long Term / Bag Holder Altcoins ?? on: March 22, 2017, 11:47:01 AM
Personally I would suggest you look into WBB, moving over to a new name and ANN thread shortly it has some pretty impressive tech and a long time solid DEV team, their thread is an absolute mess and became a complete fud fest but there is some good information in there.

This is my bet for 2017.

1240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Official BitBay Thread |Smart Contracts Wallet UPDATE|Decentralized Marketplace on: March 21, 2017, 05:35:48 PM
Finally thought I would get on board, thought about it a few months ago but now I can see this really has legs.  The name itself is spot on, good luck.
