1341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Palestine to create their own national cryptocurrency on: May 13, 2017, 05:37:33 AM
They should rather use the Bitcoin and declare it as their national currency, rather than inventing yet another altcoin. Also, if the currency is controlled by the Palestinian Authority, then it will not be a decentralized cryptocurrency.

And exactly that's why Palestinian Authority wants to make their own currency. They dont want their money to be controlled by people all around the globe. And thats why governments wont accept Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies.

why not? in the first case they would not change their global economy in the second yes, they would receive more money from other countries

every country that adopt bitcoin instead of his own fiat altcoin, it's like will receive a gift from other people around the world that buy and increase the value

doing what they are doing it's not different than remainig with their fiat money, minus maybe some lower cost because they would use the blockchain technology

Sketchy. The ETF is 100% sure to be disapproved.

why? only because a bunch of incompetent don't know what a malicious email is and click on "ifyouclickhereistealyourbitcoin.com", if they are base their decision on this

they don't have a clue what bitcoin is about, which is not about criminal activity and don't deserve to approve it

anyway these balance are very low amount, i doubt someone like the ETF care about this thing

Everyone wants shit for free. People bitch and moan so it's 'free'. Don't be afraid to charge for your work. Real support doesn't come from people who only give you kind words so they get free things.

SP I'm going to once again suggest using a dev fee as I did multiple times. Even in work that uses other peoples work you can have a dev fee, the source just needs to be provided. At 2% there aren't many people that are going to go out of their way to remove it, especially with readily available binaries. OR add it as a option that's enabled by default and can be disabled with -nofee or something along those lines. You can charge for work that uses others work as long as the source is available.

So there really is no difference between giving it away 'for free' or just having a dev fee already built in with source available. If people choose to remove it you're still earning more then you would be otherwise.

Good that you're improving equihash though.

yeah make it open source, i don't think you need peanuts of 0.05 from random dude that will resell it to another random dude, you have your farm that will cover everything

That literally has nothing to do with his work. His farm will regardless of him 'donating' work to other miners. Matter of a fact it earns more if he doesn't. Also earning .05BTC from one person is more then earning none from everyone.

the point is that he don't need theat money, he probably sitting on millions already, he is making 150k a month for your info

if i had that income i would not care about money anymore certainly i would not care about 0.05, or are people really that greedy here? i would not be surprised

It's not your job to determine who does and doesn't need money. You have no idea how much he's making or the costs he's incurring. Stating someone should do charity work 'just cause you said so' isn't really the way things work.

How about you donate oh 30% of your earnings to developers constantly. I think you've earned enough.

no i don't earn enough at all, i don't have 1000 gpu mining with 150k return, as i said if i was rich i would donat easily, but it's not my case, otherwise i would not even bother mining probably...
1345  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blocksize increase vs. difficulty decrease on: May 12, 2017, 03:23:42 PM
In the ongoing scaling debate, I wonder why is the discussion focused solely on the block size.

To my understanding, decreasing the difficulty, either statically or dynamically, has the same effect, of increasing the transaction-confirmation rate.
I don't know if such a thing can be done with a soft work, but for those advocating a hard fork, why not a fork that decreases difficulty?

Can anyone enlighten me?



Bitcoin Transaction Capacity could have been increased by a larger block size or a faster blockspeed.
Either would work.


BTC Core is blocking all improvements for 1 reason to push shitwit, and use LN to make BTC into an Offchain Fractional Reserve banking system.
Increasing transaction capacity would allow people to keep their transactions onchain, keeping the transaction capacity pathetic like it is now forces people to use their offchain fractional reserve bullshit. In Short BTC Core makes money by selling BTC out forever to the banking cartels.



 Cool



So let's, for the sake of argument, assume Core has those malicious motives, and take them out of the picture.
Why is anyone else not proposing solutions based on faster blockspeed? Why don't we have a "BU" with a faster blockspeed, rather than larger block size?

because would lead to more orhpan, there is a reason if the block time on average is 10 min, actuallyi t's better to say 2016 every two weeks

and what you are proposing it's not feasible, it's based on mienr decision, and the mining is done in a way that the more hash you have and the better which eman more diff

this is done to make the network stronger to some various attacks, having the diff low mean less hash, which mean more insecure network

Everything is based on miners's decisions, and hence everything is feasible.
They could agree on a new protocol which reduces difficulty, in exactly the same way they could agree on a new protocol which increases the block size.

A reduced difficulty reduces the security, but if BTC's value decreases due to scaling issues, the network's vulnerability increases as well, as hash power will be lost to other cryptos.

it doesn't make sense to change the code to reduce the diff while the hash is the same, the diff is based on the hash, otherwise you are changing the way the diff is displayed but the real one would always match the hashrate

in any case no miner will ever agree to reduce his/her hashrate and take less profit, this is utterly no-sense, and i don't think that the value will decrease because of scalability issue

the majority of people that buy bitcoin just don't use their coins they put them in holding, therefore they don't need lower fee, i bet only those that at the moment need this are average joe moving 0.01 every week or so...

if someone is interested i'm selling at cheaper rate than yobit(2250 satoshi), send me pm

what is happening here, i've sent 4k from the pool to my wallet but never arrived anything, block are being solved but no transactions record

bcz wallet on yobit maintenance

I don't think you understand what he is asking; I think he is trying to say that whoever is doing most of the mining currently isn't putting txs in their blocks (or maybe his tx just isn't getting relayed properly for some reason). I don't know if this is true or not.

yeah, there is no tx id in my withdrawal, and no coins arrived to my local wallet, i made another one and this time the coins arrived but my big withdrawal was lost somewhere



no tx

Where is the dev? You should solve this issued dev..

who is the owner of this pool someone know?
I. I need your pool username.

check pm

1349  Economy / Economics / Re: What percentage of global population are using or have at least 1 satoshi? on: May 12, 2017, 06:24:56 AM
there was a chart showing a possible realistic estimate of the value if bitcoin was used by a certain % of population, and the majority would choose bitcoin, the value would be already in the $100k range



Probably less than 1% of world using bitcoin. Looking at the people using bitcoin and population of world, 1% is also seemingly high.

1%? no way, 1% is a lot, is 1/ of 7B, which is 70M people, i highly doubt that even 10M are using bitcoin let alone 70M, the value would be much higher if that was the case

1351  Economy / Speculation / Re: What price would you stop buying Bitcoin? on: May 12, 2017, 05:32:53 AM
bitcoin is divisible you know this right? buying 0.1 at $1000 is not different than buying 1 btc at $100 or 0.01 at $10k, so again i ask you why i should stop buying bitcoin?

it make no sense to buy based on the price, you should stop to buy if you think you are taing a bigger risk than the one you can handle, which is true in every investment
1352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool is flooded and I see no complaints on: May 12, 2017, 05:28:25 AM
the situation is certainly bad, but you can still do it with not so high fee, the average is 60k satoshi now which is only $1 to send what you want, paypal still cost way more and ebay charge you 10% of fee on your selling, but they are still using it

With 136K unconfirmed transactions, AntPool mines an empty block (#465952).

Now  163131 Unconfirmed Transactions ,
see people performance matters, BTC the False Religion is failing.

Long Live LTC, 4X the Onchain transaction capacity of Bitcrap


 Cool

yeah 4x that is not even used, not even 1MB is used there, you see it's pointless to have 4x the capacity if you have no transaction volume that cna fill that, whcih is the entire reason why BU is wrong
1353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's elite behaves just like the old banking elite on: May 12, 2017, 05:26:11 AM
the idea behidn which bitcoin can act as a store of value is not idiotic or without sense like you think, bitcoin can act better thn altcoin, bitcoin can be used liek a currency and japan is already doing so

you can't do the same with any altcoin, their value is meaningless they are just pump and dump for now

anyway solution are coming, the problem is only one the consensus, and again miners have no fault here, i'm repeating this because apparently not many are awere about it, it's the users that determine the fee not the miners
1354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Problem Bitcoin volatile Nature on: May 12, 2017, 05:22:08 AM
if you are sending coin that will be exchanged with fiat it's better if you send them directly to an exchange and don't waste time sending to his local wallet

still if the price will be down when you are still waiting for the first confirmation, you can't do much, that will always be a problem with bitcoin

even when bitcoin will be fully adoption, swings will occur, it's impossible for an asset like bitcoin to have perfect stability since it's not issue by a central autorithy
1355  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Antminer V9 - India on: May 11, 2017, 07:40:18 AM
you can buy directly at bitmain site, if you have problem because of your location, you cn try to fidn a second hand antminer s9 in the market place her eon bitcointalk, there are many deal, or ebay also should be good but it's more expensive on average

Hi All,

I need your advise in buying Antminer V9 in India.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Ashish Bansal

I'm assuming you mean an S9.

First all the important questions. How much is your electric rate? Stable internet connection? What are your cooling plans? What ambient temp are you having to cool the miner from? Running it from home or some other place?

according to wikipedia the average is 7 cent in india, which is not that bad for bitcoin mining, but still on the danger side to not get in the roi time
1356  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price overvalued? Price Today: $1,827 on: May 11, 2017, 07:36:25 AM
IF bitcoin will not be criminalized AND IF bitcoin does not get forked. Current prices are to be considered very low even.
But we all know either let alone bith IFs will happen only when pigs fly.

i don't think you understand that who is buying now is indeed an average joe and can't give a shit about hard fork, he/she don't even know what and hard fork is

all the new investors are probably japanese, and australian are coming too, if other people see a spike like that they will jump into the train without thinking

the dump done because of the fear of the fork was only done by insider manipulators, that want to buy cheap coins, every time you see a dump in bitcoin is because of that

all dump are fake here, the only way bitcoin will go is up in the end, the intrinsic design for bitcoin allow for a deflationary nature no matter what the other say or think
1357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hypothetically: How/Where is the best place to sell $2M USD worth of Bitcoin ? on: May 11, 2017, 07:30:36 AM
if your bank account have no normal limit of 50k or 100k, normally they have this limit, you can send it in trance, kraken allow a withdrawal of 500k per month maximum with tier 4

you can do that over time or do a private transaction, just be aware with who you are dealing, because soem criminal could buy bitcoin for illegal activity and you would get in trouble
1358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Australia moving forward on: May 11, 2017, 07:26:19 AM
another big country that will regulate bitcoin, like i said this si only the beginning, $10k value will not be a dream anymore when more country will join the party

now we have australia japan and russia that are seeing bitcoin like money and not property or assets, few country and bitcoin is nerly at $2k, imagines if all ther world regulate it...

1359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If only.... on: May 11, 2017, 07:22:24 AM
this is a mistake of many people that mined bitcoin i early, day they sold everythign at the first pump

if i had all these bitcoin sitting at my wallet no matter what i would have never sold all fo them, at worst 50%

and anyway i would have waited to use them instead of dumping for fiay

please go away

i'm letting you know about this errors, seems that it was ignored or maybe undiscovered

CURRENTLY JACKPOTCOIN WALLETS CANNOT SYNC--

The coin is old, but not completely abandoned.  The former dev won't allow a re-launch without credit for old coins.  The wallets are not synching, so there is nothing to mine for the old coin except errors.       --scryptr

there is a new coin using the same algo, but this algo is broken, don't work well with 6 cards
