141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you use to keep track of your altcoin investments? on: March 14, 2018, 02:12:07 PM
+1 for Blockfolio, great app on android and it doesnt require you to input any personal information.

Just put in what you have and it will store it, you can add Buy, Sell and Trade transactions and off what exchange you used.
it also has an alert function which I dont use and it also shows the latest trading state for each coin.

Hard to beat IMO

As above how we transact our crypto to FIAT or use FIAT to get crypto can be controlled to a degree.
We can still trade with each other and bypass banks ( PEER-TO-PEER as satoshi intended ) to convert to and from Crypto and FIAT.

Banks hate our crypto, they are not making money from our use of it and it means we are not using their services as much.
143  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: MrGox Trustee Sells more $700 Milion Today ( Bitcoin goes down again ) on: March 14, 2018, 10:04:05 AM
the act of selling $700,000,000 in bitcoin may not be enough to directly affect the market, but its the FUD that is a threat to the Bitcoin market.
As soon as the trustee hodlings are sold off we can move on and it will be one less thing for people to be spooked about.
144  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Linux over Microsoft? on: March 14, 2018, 09:54:37 AM
I asked a related question in the "Alternative Client" child board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2843156.0
which got some interesting replies.

I think all wallets have Linux options, the most popular Bitcoin ones do for sure.

After posting the thread above I switched to Linux on the PC and havent looked back.
I'm still trying to get used to the different programmes which are all open source.
I am using https://lubuntu.me/

The payment was sent from bustadice https://blockchain.info/address/1FaJLDpi6gJfgv4bUVoh8B7d8ZomN1Rwa8
to bitfinex (as above) and this is the first time I have had an "unconfirmed" transaction for so long so I dont know how to go about it,
the explorer clearly shows you've received your 0.003 BTC in 1FaJLDpi6 then bitfinex collected it 3 mins later
inputs of txid a9332a0926... was double spent in tx d38be3a478...
in another word bustadice re-sent the payment with txid d38be3a478...
this explorer should give you idea to what happened https://bitaps.com/1FaJLDpi6gJfgv4bUVoh8B7d8ZomN1Rwa8
check the history deposit on your bitfinex account, if not mistaken they are charging you for making small deposit
if you haven't got credited accordingly, you need to contact bitfinex to straighten it out

ok thanks thirdspace.
I dont have any sMerit to spend otherwise I would award some to this thread for the help.
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Pump and Dump groups that are fair! on: March 13, 2018, 02:42:09 PM
a FAIR pump and dump group, how does that work then?

the idea of pump and dump is to manipulate the market and fool other people
into buying or pumping the chosen coin so it can be dumped on those who
are unsuspecting, thats how it works, there are casualties as you group
dump your worthless tokens on others.

Pump and Dump = SCAM
147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: faith on: March 13, 2018, 11:09:54 AM
Some would argue that a bubble burst in early January when bitcoins value fell from around $20,000 to where we are now.
Bitcoin might be changing the world or part of the world but its very slow.
148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is it 1994 in cryptocurrency? on: March 13, 2018, 10:30:02 AM
good article but im not sure we will be able to compare E-mail growth to decentralised crypto
because E-mail had no technological rival other than paper mail but decentralised crypto may very well have a rival soon,
a centralised variant run and controlled by governments and banks.

The article brings to mind the war between Betamax and VHS and how both formats were battling for the same space,
something centralised and decentralised crypto will not really be doing, those who dont like the control of banks etc. will always side with bitcoin etc.

anyway here is another fun article about tech wars between rival technologies -

149  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for BTC transaction to be confirmed on: March 13, 2018, 10:10:55 AM
That transaction will NEVER get confirmed because the inputs for the transaction have been spent elsewhere in this transaction

You say it was Bitfinex that sent it to you then tell them to resend it because they have spent the inputs for that transaction in the transaction I linked above.

bitfinex will not resend the transaction for him, if you check the confirmed transaction it includes the 2 addresses in the transaction OP has provided (he claimed unconfirmed) so it only means he already recieved his coins in this transaction: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/d38be3a478364be83c71c8ade71a00ee61c3e9409d7baa85da530bba1565db7d

How did you confirmed that this confirmed transaction. I have a account antpool bitmain. I thought to accelerate the transaction but when I go with the tx id like he has given here. It shows that 'banned [49.206.116.69]'
I am not sure what is the problem with this tx id. As you said more over bitfinex will not send the bitcoins again. Since they have the tx id as the proof and transaction went out from their wallet.

If you want to accelerate the transaction please find the below link to do that.
https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm


The payment was sent from bustadice https://blockchain.info/address/1FaJLDpi6gJfgv4bUVoh8B7d8ZomN1Rwa8
to bitfinex (as above) and this is the first time I have had an "unconfirmed" transaction for so long so I dont know how to go about it,
hence this thread.
ok i will try and get onto antpool later on.

Thanks for all the help everyone, its a bit over my head at the moment.
150  Economy / Economics / Re: Centralization of banking through cryptocurrency? on: March 13, 2018, 07:03:47 AM
The way i see currencies going is through blockchain technology and i see cash being phased out.
With cash in existence tracking what people do with it is difficult,
so forcing people to bank digitally means they know what we are doing and they make us think it is for our convenience.
There will essentially be two strains of cryptocurrency centralised and decentralised.
They cannot centralise bitcoin, litecoin, dash, monero etc.
151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Google too closing crypto ads on: March 12, 2018, 05:30:59 PM
I wouldnt start panicking just yet.
there is nothing coming officially from the google camp yet.
realistically how can google determine which ICO is legitimate and which is not?
There are other google platforms which legitimate ICO's can use to advertise their project without using the adwords such as Youtube, Google+ and Blogger.
152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold (BTG) on: March 12, 2018, 03:44:01 PM
I think BTG has a future but im not sure of the extent of its success.
The average transaction fees are about $0.04c which is cheaper than BCH.
If we look at DOGE, an abandoned coin it still has a following and people are still using it so there is hope yet for BTG to be adopted further.

Here is the roadmap for 2018

153  Economy / Services / Looking for BTC transaction to be confirmed on: March 12, 2018, 11:28:30 AM
I have searched the topic and cannot find an answer to this.

I have a small BTC (0.003) amount which has not been confirmed for about 4 weeks on Bitfinex.
Can anyone help? Im not looking for a free service Im looking for a reputable service.

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/a9332a09260a4679fb5c7db9492d85e847822b6ce8d01c58d633936a4fd9c41f
154  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a deflationary currency really work? on: March 12, 2018, 11:07:38 AM
You could also ask:

Can an inflationary currency really work?

What are the incentives to save or lend your money if it always goes down in value? Does this not stunt economic growth?

Well it's working at the moment. Fiat is inflationary by design precisely to discourage hoarding money and to spur spending, which apparently promotes economic growth. The system is built around it after all. How long it will continue to work is anyone's guess though.

It's hard to imagine how a deflationary currency will work because it goes against the principle of world economy at the moment. There could be a "rich effect" though, where peoples' wealth start growing, and they, in turn, start spending more and more. This phenomenon was observed in Japan recently. Either way, deflation is the least of Bitcoin's worries right now.

This is an interesting thread with some very good posts and points to consider.
It would in fact seem that a deflationary currency cannot work but the point above about the "rich effect" is interesting.
If Bitcoin is constantly rising, in theory it would make sense to spend it because as it rises you have to spend less for the same product/service
Would that figure correctly?

156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe that this man crashed Bitcoin this 2018? on: March 11, 2018, 08:41:35 PM
Partly, but not wholly.

There have been a few different factors which have been affecting bitcoin's performance.
False reports about South Korea banning crypto had a factor,
Here is the result of "South Korea" search in the press board, just look at the headlines from January - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search2

The Central Bank in Poland paying social media infleuencers to spread FUD had a factor and we dont know the extent of these actions,
were there more banks doing the same tactic?

157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: SCAM IDENTIFYING on: March 11, 2018, 08:38:06 AM
There is no straight answer to the questions.
Everyone would love to know but we have to do our own research which is difficult i think.
Any oroject could start off as a legitimate one and any reason can turn bad and have people scammed.
158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mtgox trustee sells on: March 11, 2018, 08:33:53 AM
A lot of coinage held there, and if they move there is nothing we can do about it.
There is also no way of knowing if those wallets are still controlled,
can they be accessed or are the keys, passwords forgotten?
159  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you still use bitcoins if the price would be stable? on: March 10, 2018, 02:02:51 PM
I am pretty much interested to know how many people here uses bitcoin because of it's system, because of the anonymous and the security it provides, and because of the fact that it is really easy to transact over the internet, and there's no one who can just block your account(unlike paypal, a platform that provides an easy way to pay over the internet, but you rely on PayPal to keep your account open).

So, are you guys using bitcoin because of it's nature, or because it's a financial tool of making money?


At the moment I am using bitcoin as a financial backing to my savings and trying to accumulate as much as i can now.
at the same time im thinking of the future for when bitcoin can possibly be traded peer-to-peer more widely for goods and services.
160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: While you are panicking.... on: March 10, 2018, 01:55:14 PM
The weak hands are the ones who are only new to crypto and the traders hoping to sell high and buy back on the dips.
This will not change but i hodl because i dont spend enough time trading to know when to sell
i just buy more at the dips.
