1221  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Is Bitcoin Legal? on: October 22, 2017, 11:27:01 PM
The legality of bitcoin depends on who you are, and what you’re doing with it.

There are three main categories of bitcoin stakeholder. Someone may fall under more than one of these categories, and each category has its own legal considerations.

Is good legal? Owning gold, trading gold and mining gold all have different legalities. How much tax do you need to pay when buying the gold? What trading regulations are there on the markets? What are the legalities involved with mining on certain sites and the security offered to miners etc.
Bitcoin is legal. Trading Bitcoin is legal. Mining Bitcoin is legal. 
There may be different legal standings in terms of what can and can't be done with it and how much tax one needs to pay on any gains, but at the end of the day Bitcoin is legal. Whichever way you look at it.

I like your eagerness and enthusiasm about this but I think there's a slight flaw in the business model. As far as I am aware, there are no airlines that accept BTC as a payment method. How then are you going to create this directory for multiple cities?
Once you start expanding the realm of your definition of companies that accept BTC you'll find yourself having to include debit cards that are linked to crypto wallets which would render the site slightly impractical.
I'm curious how you'd avoid this..

Te coins themselves are worth xBTC. Selling them now would only enable you to profit on the premium in BTC which would be greater now than it would be then (after the fork) if the price of BTC were to rise as a result of it.
Personally I don't see the need to. The coins are wallets themselves so post-fork they'd have the value of BitcoinGold added to them which would add to the BTC price if you chose to sell after.
So in short, I'd advise you to keep them and if you want to buy more BTC now then by all means go for it.

Your description seems to be lacking all the main details. There's no mention of any of the specifics and more importantly what your mining model will be. You need to put in a better attempt to even be considered seriously. Your site is unprofessional and doesn't include any more information than this post (if anything it has less). You really need to give this a serious think over.
1225  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Please Help (Paypal Ebay Localbitcoins Debt Collector situation) on: October 22, 2017, 09:54:56 AM
Persoanlly I wouldn't pay it. Write up a report (can be a word document) clearly explaining the full story. Be concise and clear. Don't write long paragraphs but still try and illustrate everything that happened.
Include screenshots of the LBC conversation and transaction as well as a screenshot showing that the BTC was sent (to the buyer).
That should be enough. From a legal standpoint you fulfilled your end of the transaction. They (PayPal) may try to continue sending you debt collection letters but nothing will really come of it. The only thing they might do is put an address or IP block on you for creating new PayPal accounts. But even then, there are still ways of getting around being blacklisted.

Edit: You don't need to mention you buying NLC2. Just show that you were selling Bitcoin and that you fulfilled your end of the deal. PayPal may still refuse the case since they don't offer seller protection to cryptocurrency sales but I don't think you'd 'have' to pay the debt collectors.
1226  Economy / Speculation / Re: How the Fork in 25.OCT will effect Bitcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 01:37:51 AM
Could somebody please elaborate on why is this fork happening? i'm relatively new to the scene and i was looking for information about the bitcoin cash fork and most of the people said it was going to be a shitcoin and i think the opposite happened, its sitting now at $324, above ethereum which is worth $301.

So is it possible the same thing occur with bitcoing gold?


Nobody specifically said that. It had too much backing and hype for it to be considered that. The only thing people said was that it wouldn't be able to replace BTC which is what it was intended to do.
However, it wasn't a failure in its own right. BCH still sits at one of the top positions in terms of market cap. The new fork might impact the price of BCH too but time will tell. We'll just have to give it a few days to see the immediate affects.
1227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Short ICO reviews web page Cointldr - what do you think? on: October 22, 2017, 01:25:29 AM
The concept is nice and your site has a nice simplistic design about it. The only thing I would change is the ICO listing page. Maybe add some colour or images because too much plain text can be an eyesore.
On to the more important points, how do you review the ICOs? What background checks are done? I'm still waiting to receive mine via mail which leads onto my next point. Make all the reports available online. Having to have them sent to your email is a little inconvenient and unnecessary.
1228  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Price of Bitcoin Touches New Highs Reaching the $6K Mark on: October 22, 2017, 01:15:20 AM
The hard fork's impact won't be known until it happens. BCH didn't really impact the price significantly. On the contrary, BTC has reached new ATHs since then and hasn't shown signs of stopping yet. It will be interesting to see how the price reacts to the fork but something tells me it'll be much like the BCH fork all over agin...
1229  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Physical Bitcoin on: October 22, 2017, 12:33:00 AM
First of all, I don't know if this is possible by any one company or organization, and don't know about what the procedure will be to realize this as well.
But what do you think about the concept of physical bitcoin? I remember hearing a while back about someone who actually did created a few physical bitcoin. But what about in more public approach, I mean, especially for people who actually want to hold bitcoin for long.
I think they will solve the issues of lost bitcoins, as they will be present in physical form, so if someone loses the passwords, or even a mishap occurs to them, their family can use them.

What are your thoughts?

Physical Bitcoin is for layman. But still it is silly. The reason why Bitcoin is efficient is primarily because we don't need to print it. We don't need to cut trees in case of paper money. And we don't need to dig to mine for metal to mint coins. Bitcoin is intangible. Which is why there are no added cost to send and store it. Unlike physically present money which is more likely to get lost.

Being intangible definitely has it perks. Bitcoin is a digital asset. It is a virtual currency. Having been said there are times when tangibility comes in handy. Be it for long term storage or for education etc, the ease of paper wallets and the like enable Bitcoin to take a physical form. They both have their upsides.
1230  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Two Developers looking for new Oppertunities on: October 20, 2017, 10:48:49 AM
Where did you graduate from?
I know of someone who can make do with some front end web development.
The project requires creating a plugin that allows items to be added to a wishlist, communicated with a database and then able to receive a 'reply' from the database.
We can discuss this more by PM or email. The project isn't crypto related but I'm sure they could pay with BTC.
1231  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Physical Bitcoin on: October 20, 2017, 09:05:54 AM
There are loads of these that already exist. One of the first creators of a physical bitcoin was Mike Caldwell who sold his coins under the name Casascius.
The point of these coins is to show that bitcoins can also be physical, tangible and that there are other means of storage that don't put your coins at risk to the same extent that storing them digitally does.
Since Casascius released his coins, there have been plenty of other makers too. Some have added a twist and created art items that have their own collectible value.
If you check out the Marketplace>Goods>Collectables part of this forum, you will be able to find losts of posts and listings of these physical pieces.
1232  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Trying to find out about these exchanges? on: October 19, 2017, 11:36:55 PM
Trying to find out what the the mid level exchanges for coins to get on and what are the conditions needed to get on them and how hard and competitive it is?

Ideas so far have included.

Hitbtc

Gdax

Kraken

Liqui


Any experience and knowledge first hand would be great appreciated.

Kraken is easy to signup and trade in. But it has only a few major coins. That is the biggest drawback. I have account there, works fine.

OP isn't referring to creating an account but rather to having his/her coin listed and traded on their platform.
GDAX is coinbase who until recently didn't even accept LTC, so getting a new token on there would be quite difficult to say the least.
I think it'll be difficult to get featured on any to the sites you mentioned. Smaller exchanges have the option but I think that the ones you mentioned have their ow n system in place for deciding when to list trading partners and currencies.
1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Poker System ICO on: October 19, 2017, 03:14:58 PM
Interesting idea to launch the ICO project dealing with poker based on cryptocurrency. And one more benefit is that it will be decentralized. I like the game Texas Holdem. Great!!! )))) And what attracted my attention is - "a new type of tournaments that not exists on any poker rooms (KO Spins)". So, it will be something that makes us say WOW I hope. Because there are some ICOs going on right now and they are also dealing with poker and there are even some platforms for betting and so on. I see that poker and different betting games are popular more and more in cryptoworld. So, wish your project be successful and get great results!!! )))) I believe in your project!!!! ))))

Why is it an interesting idea? What is the need for having an ICO in this scenario? The room is practically the same as every other casino apart from having a differential reward system. An ICO here is no different from having a funding round. In this case, the idea isn't unique so the incentive to invest wouldn't be high as there isn't anything guaranteeing (or even suggesting) the success of this project. The ICO just enables the creators to raise funds before actually having a working product in place and more ICOs aren't needed currently. The malarkey is already awash with them.
1234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: INCREASING AMOUNT OF ICO(S) on: October 19, 2017, 03:03:05 PM
BTC will always be the market leader. When BTC drops so do most Alta. The same is true for when there's a bout of positive growth.
The BTC markets consist of BTC/FIAT and BTC/ALTS. BTC has a much higher trade volume spread over the two then the specific Alt markets. Thus, when BTC/FIAT falls, the less BTC/ALTS traded. In a way it's kind of a cyclical system.   
Re the ICOs, - most are scams. Petty projects where the devs are looking to make some cash. Here today, gone tomoorw. There are a few legitimate ones that actually serve purpose but these are a minority within a minority (unfortunately).
1235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia is turning the nuclear power plant into mining field. on: October 18, 2017, 10:07:39 PM
I just read up more on the RMC and can now see watch Russia's direction is with this. My only question is why the Russian central authority is so interested in BTC mining.
The RMC buy in was huge. Most individuals (Russian citizens) weren't able to oartake in it, so it can be assumed that the majority who did were the wealthy and government officials. If so, my question is what is their end goal with becoming a mining powerhouse? What's in it for them? 
1236  Economy / Economics / Re: New Hashtag to report on the imminent financial collapse! on: October 18, 2017, 07:59:24 PM
Only those wanting to spread FUD would actually use your hashtag seeing as most people on here would disagree with you.
Out of interest, what is your reasoning for the so called impending bubble burst? What economic proof do you have? Many before you have said the exact same thing only to see BTC to continue to skyrocket. I'm not saying that the price won't eventually crash (you can't rule everything out) but what's your basis for claiming that it's imminent?
1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: An ICO for body flying. Does it sound inteeresting to you? on: October 18, 2017, 06:30:40 PM
Another needless ICO aimed at making a quick profit and then completely disregarding investors. It's no wonder why countries are moving to place bans or increase regulation on ICOs when they're just being used to manipulate private investors.
All these projects just keep giving Crytpo a bad public image/name and do more harm than good.
1238  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 1 Year in Cryptocurrency still no luck earning bitcoin. Need some real advice. on: October 18, 2017, 07:55:36 AM
What efforts have you made so far?
Earning BTC online shouldn't be too difficult so long as you apply yourself to it.
Try offering your skills online in exchange for BTC. You could create a website where you offer that service or offer freelancing services on the forum and other crypto channels.
If you have free time and can learn a new skill then do that. You'd be able to apply that skill and start earning through offering that skill to others in a matter of time.


Ive been in affiliate program to earn bitcoins but sadly that is to cover only my bills and expences. I envy someone else who made their fortune doing bitcoin.

So has the affiliate marketing been able to cover your bills? If so then that's a great start. What you could do is use the income you otherwise would have spent on paying your bills to buy BTC. That would increase your BTC savings which you could keep as an investment portfolio.
Most early adopters made their BTC by mining or buying in. Some managed to offer goods/services in exchange for coins but don't assume that everyone managed to make a fortune doing so. It's not too late to jump aboard.
1239  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: ⚡️⚡️⚡️ www.bitspy.io - Do we need it? ⚡️⚡️⚡️ on: October 18, 2017, 12:09:58 AM
I'm not sure if other sites like this exist but I will definitely be bookmarking this and adding it to my favourites tab. I always use block explorers to check addresses and never even thought to see if there was a universal site that worked with all cryptos.
The only constructive criticism I have is that maybe you should consider fixing the UI on mobile platforms. Something about the formatting is a little off. Other than that it looks great.
Thank you for this! Much appreciated Smiley

Would the purchasing of advertisement and hiring of article writers be covered by the company or would it come out of the total paid to the manager?
