What type of rendering grunt do you have at your disposal? If you have something seriously powerful I'm sure you could make plenty more.
12962  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 BTC = 100.000 to 1 million is a possibility in 2035 on: September 26, 2016, 10:35:52 PM

Yes, much more money is needed to move the price from $100 to $1000 than it is to move from $1 to $10, but you forget that the growth of users grows exponentially as well.

And with more users, comes more money.


That's the real brute of a task. Despite all the wonderfulness I can't see much evidence of a huge upswell of users. It's pootling along nicely but a powerful rise needs more than a pootle.

Sadly the only resolution is that your coins are history. You could ask them about IP addresses and so on but the security hole is likely to be at your end. Did you receive a withdrawal email? Can you access your email account?
12964  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best site to sell $18 BTC? on: September 26, 2016, 10:28:01 PM
You're in the UK? Circle.com it is. I dunno what selling levels are but you can certainly buy that little. You'll get market ish rates but it'll be buttery smooth.

I don't really get why anyone gives a shit. They're all rehearsed up front and this is common knowledge. I suppose we can count on Donny to chuck a spanner in the works for a lark.

Anyone posting on a self moderated thread who's been here a while knows the score. That's why so many altcoin threads are dissed when they're self moderated. If you've got the nads then you don't bother starting one.
12967  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 26, 2016, 09:27:58 PM
Well, the losing market share thing is mainly the incredible alt pumps most of which are in aid of obtaining more Bitcoin. Certainly ETH looks like an increasingly appalling bet by the day. However there may come a time where it has a different smell to it. Bitcoin needs to deliver both signs of some capacity progress and action to satisfy the speculators.

Also, I really doubt whether there are that many non-British homeless people in Glasgow.

I lived in Glasgow for quite a while. The most prosperous folks by quite a long way were, whisper it, NOT WHITE.

In general there felt like far less racial tension than down south. And by far the most religious tension was between those white people again. I'm getting fucking sick of them.

Run up to a granny, stick a knife to her throat and lead her to an ATM. If you're going to be dodgy then do it the old fashioned way.
12971  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1 BTC = 100.000 to 1 million is a possibility in 2035 on: September 25, 2016, 04:50:30 PM
People said the same when BTC's price reached $1!
And it repeated when it reached $10 and $100!!!

All of those figures were a piece of piss to reach. Alts have been doing it without breaking much of a sweat. To get to the next level requires a big chunk of people to take it to their hearts. That's the real ball breaker. You can get so far on a small number of maniacs and that's where we are now. To get beyond it is a major undertaking that's out of our hands.

And if he sends to wrong address then there is no  chance that he will recover  back them, as no one will prefer to return the free coins that they have received mistakenly.

I would, but I'm weird like that. I don't get the Satoshi quote about lost coins being a donation to increase others' value though. There's no way of knowing which coins are just resting as opposed to gone forever and it's not as if all coins move all at once.
12973  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-09-22] Winklevoss exchange to launch daily bitcoin auction on: September 25, 2016, 01:10:24 AM
It really doesn't matter what the Winklevoss twins are doing nowadays. People don't add value to their actions anymore. It's their own fault as they have been loud from the very beginning while everything they did either didn't go through, or failed miserably.

Blimey. That's a bit harsh. We're operating on Bitcoin time, people like that operate on Establishment time which is somewhere around 20-100x more sluggish.

The world they move in plays the long game. They may still end up looking like geniuses rather than goats.

Ah, good point. Now I remember there are a handful. Someone's got one of those creeping insects that always catches me out.
12975  Other / Meta / Re: Legendary one day? on: September 24, 2016, 11:27:55 PM

There had been a bug in the past too where a member can already have an avatar, it would be great to have such account.


Avatars were banned for a long time because of the possibility of injecting dodginess via images somehow. Accounts that already had them could keep them which made them attractive to some.

I praise the lord that this site doesn't allow gifs and images in signatures and avatars. So many forums are unbearable because of them.
12976  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why Bitcoin P2P lending is dead. on: September 24, 2016, 11:23:38 PM
To side track a little - I've seen new comers requesting for very small loans in the Lending section - we are talking about 0.00x BTC amounts here. Makes me wonder what inspired these new comers to go through all these efforts knowing they can't get anything out of this.

I don't understand the lending section here and never will. It seems to purely be 0 post zombies asking for a 'loan' followed by three pages of senior members sneering at them. I suppose the senior sneerers would miss it if it was gone.
12977  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS is nothing compared to U.S. cops. on: September 24, 2016, 11:18:35 PM
Where are you from, do you hate USA very much? USA is my dream country, because villas and super cars are super cheaper there.

I've spent many months in the US. There are no supercars there. Everyone drives pickups or boring old beaters. In about 20,000 miles of driving the most interesting vehicles I saw were 5 Corvettes.

Another thing I did was to do everything possible to avoid the cops. American 'justice' is not something I'd ever, ever want to get swallowed up by. They're effectively militarised. That's not what a police force should ever be.


12978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why Bitcoin P2P lending is dead. on: September 24, 2016, 11:13:02 PM

the only way it would work is that the lending site itself took responsibility, and chased after scammers


The only way it would work for me is if someone sent me 100 BTC at the same time as I handed over 100 BTC. Have I just come up with an exciting new business concept? I'll get back to you on that after a feasibility study.
12979  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trouble with conventional financial institutions? on: September 24, 2016, 11:47:37 AM
Interestingly, though, it seems like Circle want to abstract themselves from their involvement with Bitcoin as far as possible (such as stating "Enter an email address" in the payee field, and other subtle hints).

Yes. I had to dig around a fair bit to find the Bitcoin section. I wonder whether they plan to leave it behind completely. It would be a large waste of time and effort if they did but they're looking to go enormous.
12980  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [Coinbase] You Can Now Trade More Digital Currency on: September 24, 2016, 10:51:29 AM
And you're correct if trading in polo is better than coinbase, caused by a lot of the limitation in coinbase make their users are not having a freedom for using their features and that will become the other issues.

You haven't noticed Poloniex rejecting customers from certain US states and instating deposit and withdrawal limits for the unverified? That's not what I expect from an alt exchange but I suppose that's the price of their ever increasing profile. Soon they won't be any different than Coinbase.
