Can you please post these FB accounts so we can mark them and try to inform everyone? Ty. Especially now with the BCC chain creating more demand for more miners, the scammers will surely take advantage of the noobs.

1322  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The OFFICIAL SegWit Activation Thread on: August 24, 2017, 12:24:51 PM
This is how I feel with BTC after SegWit.



I was given the impression that it was also a scaling solution but now I am reading some comments on Reddit that its not.
1323  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Poloniex not showing deposit in Zcash on: August 23, 2017, 10:28:48 AM
Stop using Poloniex, their service has not been up from their usual standards as before. There are people spreading rumors that they might be the next major exchange to close down after Cryptsy. I know they are just rumors but its better to be safe and use another exchange for now instead.
1324  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is this a safe project to invest in? on: August 23, 2017, 10:22:34 AM
No offense madting12 but it looks like one of those projects that just dies after one pump of their tokens. Check the projects in coinmarketcap.com that are ranked 200 and below. Its like that.

1326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining gold also costs (much) energy - VIDEO: The Deepest Mine In The World on: August 21, 2017, 01:18:53 PM
Yeah and it also destroys the environment, very much like BTC mining. Maybe the next big cryptocurrency will have a
more energy efficient mining algorithm?
1327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshis Original Vision on: August 21, 2017, 01:10:23 PM
Anyone else sick and tired to their back teeth of hearing this phrase pumped out endlessly by the BCC/BCH trolls as they try to justify their sickcoin?

For any BCH troll here is the nub, you have no idea what Satoshis original vision is because you cannot understand his Bitcoin whitepaper. 

Now piss off.

Its a BCC marketing push by Roger Ver himself to use on the noobs who dont know any better. But I will say this, BCC will be better than Segwit2x, and I respect the developers of BCC than I would Jeff Garzik.

The developers behind Segwit2x arent including replay protection.
1328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will bitcoin value ever be overpowered by other Cryptos? on: August 20, 2017, 09:53:59 AM
My answer is its possible. But it will happen not because of other altcoins becoming better and more valuable. It will be because of the politics that has been going on with the BTC developers and businesses and the disunity in the community.

The fork to Segwit2x this November could lead us to a total of 4 Bitcoins. The legacy chain, the 2x chain, the POW upgraded chain and BCC.
1329  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Is Faucet a waste of time? Y/N on: August 20, 2017, 09:42:25 AM
Well its not a waste of time if youre enjoying doing them for the small amount of coins youre earning. Or if you have some spare time to waste on faucets, then do it. Its better than doing something like smoking cigarettes and drinking because youre bored.
1330  Economy / Exchanges / Re: My account is disabled at bittrex on: August 20, 2017, 09:31:50 AM
I asked a friend of mine who also has an old account in Bittrex which was opened on 2014 or 2015, and he said that he didnt have to go through any identity verification up to this day. He says that some of his withdrawals were over 10,000 dollars sometimes.

Does anyone have any opinion why old accounts are not flagged?
It will happen in the future, as explained here: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/215282838 :

We're still in the planning stages of implementing a phased approach.

Our third phase is to require every account to at least be basic verified.  The time frame for that is TBD.

This was expected by me really. Soon we will see all of the US based exchanges become compliant with the demands of the US regulators. The new up and coming SEC rules on cryptocurrencies and ICOs will make sure of it.

Yeah, but this doesn't erase the fact that they were acting as an MSB for so long without any licenses. They still don't have any MSB licenses. They are just trying to tighten AML/KYC. And nobody knows if their measures now will be good enough for the US government.

The bigger problem for me is that I don't trust an exchange like Bittrex to store my ID documents securely. Coinbase and Gemini, maybe, but who the hell are these Bittrex and Poloniex people? Unlicensed exchanges behind shell companies and names of people we don't know...

Yeah and whats funny is that these same people who keep calling for the disruption of the banks and the government regulators will be the same people who will be the fastest to ask for the government's help if they were scammed by an unlicensed exchange.

That makes me think that some of the people here lack education and they are also ignorant.
1331  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Looking To Start A Small Business With Bitcoin on: August 20, 2017, 09:26:26 AM
Can small businesses use bitcoins Huh

Thats exactly my same argument. I will try look for the image of the store and show it here. The store was small and it looked like it was in a poor area.

Who would use BTC over there? The people in that area surely doesnt own any BTC except for the store owner.
1332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Blockchain now added ether on: August 19, 2017, 01:24:12 PM
This is very unexpected and so very sudden. Im one of the Ethereum skeptics here in this forum, but does the acceptance of ETH in blockchain.info signals that Ethereum really has a future? I very much doubt that and I think that they are making a mistake.
1333  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Looking To Start A Small Business With Bitcoin on: August 19, 2017, 01:17:39 PM
Someone shared an image of a small local store called the Bitcoin Store in /r/bitcoin about a week ago. It was supposedly located in the Philippines, in a small town called Davao?

Would the owner be one of the people in this thread?
1334  Economy / Economics / Re: The world's central banks should get ready for negative interest rates on: August 19, 2017, 01:06:29 PM
Shouldnt the central banks let the recession take its course than force to reverse it by manipulating the money supply? They are building a foundation of the worst of the worth of economic rescessions by pumping the economy with a method so artificial.
1335  Economy / Exchanges / Re: My account is disabled at bittrex on: August 19, 2017, 12:56:32 PM

Which will piss off old time users completely!

The future is decentralized exchanges which can live on something like the Lightning Network or Prism.
That way draconian government legislation pushed for by the banksters, becomes irrelevant.




I dont share your enthusiasm for making banks and governments irrelevant because of cryptocurrencies' ability to disrupt. The same technology can be used by them to oppress and enslave us too.
1336  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Poloniex Rate Inconsistency Between Orders vs. Trade History on: August 18, 2017, 06:01:04 AM
Maybe those are high frequency trading bots making very quick bids then immediately cancels them in less than a second. You will notice them come out when the market becomes very volatile.
1337  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mixer and tumbler on: August 18, 2017, 04:46:19 AM
The thing is, most people do not know who operates these mixer services... it might just be the government.  Roll Eyes ..... like they are running exit nodes on the Tor network.  Tongue

If the US government isn't running a mixer service, they will be soon. The Hansa market honeypot makes very clear what direction things are going. Going forward, no centralized services can be trusted--assume any centralized service potentially logging your activities (or at least your metadata) is a honeypot and act accordingly. I'm amazed at the level of funds people put at risk on the darknet markets.

They dont have to run their own mixing service but what they can do is compromise multiple mixing service just like what they allegedly did to bitmixer.io.

Did you all read that funny final message from the owner? It almost looked like he was trying to discredit himself to make the community think something is really wrong.

How do you think Bitmixer was compromised--packet sniffing, IP logging? It sounds like you think the owner shut the service down and posted those messages after he realized that the site was compromised?

I admit the way that Bitmixer left was very odd. It seems like he was trying to warn past users that their IP addresses and metadata may be at risk due to snooping by the authorities.

Im not really sure but it would be very possible for law enforcement to have compromised bitmixer.io if they have also done so with the darknet marketplace Hansa.

Their methods should be sophisticated enough by now. Its also known that law enforcement also run Tor exit nodes.
