Nice, more bs from MasterCard.
And well, although using BTC avoids some transactional taxes, in the end we need fiat to live, so its a bit regulated for itself.
We don't need and don't want a BitLicense to make something so great to become another useless tech because it got banned.

It remembers me all of that Uber stuff, everyone likes it, except the ones that are afraid of competition.

Windows 7 is stable, stay with it.
And after all, we have 8 months more to change for free to W10.

hi guys. does anyone here or sites having problem also in blockchain?
because one of my transactions didnt come to me.
and when i checked it to blockchain it says.

i dont know what happen in this. but i hope anyone can explain me pls.
thanks.

Ongoing Bitcoin Malleability Attack you can read more about it here : http://blog.coinkite.com/post/130318407326/ongoing-bitcoin-malleability-attack-low-s-high

thanks... so sir do you know if i can still recieve my bitcoin on it or not?
how can i retrieve it?


There's a explanation on the link aswell about that.
Nothing changes, the receipt will recieve your money, the thing is, your sender TxID isn't enough to know if your receipt received the money, since they are playing around with the "S" value once your transaction becomes public.
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Simplistic fix for blocksize problem... on: October 02, 2015, 11:16:30 AM
It seems like a good idea for me. The mentioned altcoin could be forced to be tied to Bitcoin value, and could be a brand new altcoin that could only be "mined" by changing satoshis to make it appear.

In fact, it could be named "satoshi-Tx"  (satoshi for transfers LOL) and have the exact value of a satoshi, with his own chain.

But I guess that would be complicated to.

This seems somewhat reasonable...

Hell.. it doesn't exactly need to be tied to bitcoin...

But...  Bitcoin would be the base for large/non time sensitive transactions;  and an alt would be for the smaller quicker needs.  not rocket science, and it doesn't need to be elaborated ANY further than this concept.

This wouldnt change volatility; nor is it intended to.

This wouldnt fork BTC, nor is it intended to.

There are TONS of Altcoins out there to pick from....  We just need to figure out what works for what type of scenario.  (day to day groceries, small instant on-the-street-peer-to-peer transactions (flea market, food vendor, gambling sites, etc).

People act like waiting 10-60 min for a block to confirm a transaction is haneous... but honestly;  its fine. 

The block size, well;  We need to discourage people from making a million small transactions to fill up the blocks....   That would be the only way that BTC itself would need to change in order to be sure the altcoin takes over the smaller stuff.  Maybe something as simple as scaling network fees based upon transaction spacing.  Obviously something would need to be done about the exchanges.... or exchanges will have an inflated TX fee.  So this idea isn't as good as others...

I think a larger block size will over inflate the blockchain and cause some future problems....   I wont put my finger on it just yet;  but that's my opinion.....

And Im not claiming to be an expert;  but... if you can spoon feed people the concept that altcoins Vs. BTC will just be like the comparison between a dollar bill and a paycheck likewise....   they might understand.

You don't need to wait a confirmation.
As today, double spends are really rare(doesn't mean extinct, but still rare), so accepting a payment by just seeing that the transaction was broadcasted is enough, specially to the difficulty in doing one, so you would wait a confirmation(a few confirmations) for only big transactions.
Using another coin just for the sake of not bloating the Bitcoin chain is pure bs.
You would need to rely on services and not to trust the software to exchange between BTC <-> Alt, and our wallets would need to read 2 blockchains, creating 2 networks.

Just, stop saying that this is a good idea people. If alts are good idea there won't be so many that don't worth a penny out there.
The only alts that I liked was NameCoin and Litecoin for trying something new, and SunnyKing creating PPC and Prime, he tried things completely different.

Hope that Gavin don't get banned from bitcoin-dev aswell, he is a XT dev, but he made good things to core, he have a few commits and is one of the few devs that look this forum.

Oh god, how a perfect solution.
Such good scalable solution, everytime we need more we create Bitcoin(X+1)
148  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Halving do Bitcoin em 2016 on: September 30, 2015, 11:03:13 AM
A idéia do halving é diminuir a oferta e isso causar escassez e isso fazer o preço do bitcoin subir .

Olhe o que ocorreu em novembro de 2012:

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg60zczsg2012-07-31zeg2013-03-1ztgSzm1g10zm2g25zv

Nada! Mas logo após alguns meses, o preço começou a subir.

Vamos repetir o mesmo movimento?

IHNF Idea.
Provavelmente veremos um movimento semelhante no Litecoin?
Faz pouco tempo que a recompensa diminuiu.

Duvido muito, o volume de troca do BTC é muito mais expressivo, e a maior parte é por causa de especulação mesmo, não acho que haja uma variação de preço expressiva.

10% fee?
The slogan should be "A fee that hurts more than a punch from Tyson"
150  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Halving do Bitcoin em 2016 on: September 28, 2015, 11:06:47 AM
Pois é, o próximo "halving day" vai gerar mais um stress na cabeça de quem minera.
Hoje quem minera, minera pelo dinheiro, e por isso não podem ficar segurando o dinheiro esperando por um aumento no preço por muito tempo.
Por muito tempo lê-se o dia que chega a "conta de luz" do dono dos miners.
Então isso tem 2 impactos:
1- Menos recompensa pros mineradores significa que eles terão menos pra vender, diminuindo um pouco o volume nas exchanges.
2- Se eles tem menos pra vender, será que todos os mineradores vão conseguir lidar com o 12.5BTC de recompensa?

Se muitos assumirem não serem capazes de manter suas operações pra não entrar em falência, isso pode gerar um baque muito forte na dificuldade, assim como foi um episódio famoso numa AltCoin chamada FreiCoin, em que houve um abandono em massa de mineradores, e como o ajuste de dificuldade é parcial e só de 2016 em 2016 blocos, foram mais de 6000 blocos em que o tempo entre cada um era muito maior que 10 minutos, tinha bloco demorando 1 hora por exemplo.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: TO all miners and bitcoin holders would you? on: September 25, 2015, 12:54:20 PM
To everyone that just want to profit holding and don't believe in how useful Bitcoin is, they will complain a lot if, lets say, the price doesn't change for a long while.
The only thing that I really want to happen is mass adoption, specially outside USA and Europe since most things happen only there.
152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin does not work. on: September 23, 2015, 01:19:21 PM
Bitcoin does not work because people do not trust to buy things with bitcoin. I have a site running now for 5 months selling precious metals, made plenty of sales with credit card, bank transfer, no problems but not a single bitcoin purchase!

What is the point in bitcoin again?



I get your point, i haven't sold a single hosting package with bitcoin... Eventough my site gets a reasonable amount of traffic, nobody uses bitcoin to buy...

In the user's defence: my layout isn't that great, and i don't have contact info... but since my prices are low, i would have assumed some people would be interested... Sad

That's pretty much ridiculous. If I was going to buy something that needs to stay online 24/7 and I don't even have a contact info, whats the purpose?
You can simply shutdown and I won't be able to complain neither get my money back.
The (low) price doesn't pay the risk, everyone should already know that.
153  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: Bitcoin Pela Paz - Uma iniciativa FOXBIT para o Peace One Day on: September 22, 2015, 05:12:47 PM
Não querendo estragar a campanha da FoxBit, afinal o MSF é um movimento que dá muito orgulho visto o quanto eles se sacrificam, e ver que pode-se ajudar eles via Bitcoin é melhor ainda.
Mas gostaria de deixar o aviso que quem quer doar para ONGs pode sempre contar com a Humble Bundle, a maior parte das bundles contam com uma opção para pagamento em Bitcoin e você decide para onde vai o dinheiro, pode ser tudo pras desenvolvedoras/publicadoras/editoras(não tem só jogos, agora tem e-books também), ou até mesmo tudo para a ONG selecionada pela Humble Bundle naquela campanha.

156  Other / Off-topic / Re: How many Bitcoins are lost forever? on: September 21, 2015, 02:16:32 PM
Someone summed up the lost BTC only from the thread. In total BTC 134578.27864659
And this is likely just a particle of all lost coins.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7253.msg8601641#msg8601641

That is really really much. I don't understand why it will lost FORever.

It's lost forever because you can't get back the private key of the public key that have any sum of BTC.
It's the same reason you can't get stealed by simply sharing your public key.

158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thanks to people who support 1-2 MB blocks - great idea u fools... on: September 18, 2015, 06:34:41 PM
whats disheartening is seeing how poeple are so afraid of the tiniest changes, bitcoin development grinds to a halt.

Even if people make a hard fork to 1.5MB, it wouldn't be tiniest of changes.
Stopping mining pools to run a new daemon is easy and all, but the problem is that the world wouldn't update all at once, and the whole Bitcoin "ecosystem" would have a temporary problem with the "2 blockchains".
159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amazing at what money can do to a human on: September 18, 2015, 11:09:42 AM
The faulty logic that he and others are pushing that leads you to believe this is the suggestion that any specific group of people does or should "control" the code.  Even if BIP101 passed due to XT adoption, Core would be updated to support that long before it happened and people who don't like other aspects of XT would switch back to core, so "2 guys" wouldn't have "control" at all.  However, by censoring and yelling "altcoin" he is actually supporting centralization by supporting "control" by "more than 2 guys".
OK, since it's a hard fork, to keep Core able to "follow" the blockchain it would probably have the BIP101 code aswell.
But that doesn't change that just really only two guys can make a soft fork or any other type of change that could affect only a XT-only blockchain. Mike is very clear about his "dictatorship" that if he and Gavin want it, they will do it, but of course, if even the BIP101 isn't well accepted then probably XT will die soon.
So, yes, they want to control, as of now, whole "XT Core" by only two guys. They want easier consensus reducing the amount of people involved, that's pretty stupid IMHO.
