 There are games online that you can spend or earn bitcoins. What are some games you know like this?

 My example is coin brawl , it is a fun little simple game Cheesy

You may want to check out PipsTycoon (http://www.pipstycoon.com). I've only recently started playing it, but it comes from the same team that made GoldenTowns, and is very similar to MarketGlory. And of course, you can deposit BTC into the game and, I assume, withdraw BTC as well (I haven't gotten to that point yet: I've only won about $3 so far).


PipsTycoon appeared interesting, but it appears you need phone verification to do anything. I input my legitimate phone number and it rejected it as invalid. Not willing to put in time to a site with little to no rep and bugs right off the bat.

I just installed the Huntercoin QT version. How long approximately will it take to sync my client? I am currently 78 weeks behind and have been for several minutes.

a very long time if you don't have an SSD

you can download the chain up to a couple of weeks ago from chain.huntercoin.org

this WILL be improved soon.

-

atm it's not recommend to play using the QT as you will be at a major disadvtange - you should use the unity3d client or mithrilman client.

you still need to use the qt (or daemon) to sync to the latest blocks.. the 3rd party clients listed above will connect to the daemon/qt using your configured rpcuser/password in huntercoin.conf


Okay, so after I install the chain at the link above, do I need to do anything with it, or will my game automatically recognize that I have it synced up to a few weeks ago?

Is something World of Warcraft related to?

I did some googling too, but the only thing (other than the WOW related) is Pepe (the footballer) and Pepe Jeans  Cheesy

So if i have to guess, i'll go with the WOW thing...

(sorry for highjacking your thread, but i am curious about this)

I think OP is referring to Pepe the frog meme, some people collect rare Pepes and pays for it
Don't know where it started but I first saw it on 4chan

The Pepe first began on the /r9k/ board on 4chan. The Pepe became an instant hit, and a meme market formed around it. Pepes are typically bought and sold with Good Boy Points (GBP), however the rarest Pepes can be sold for cold, hard cash.
And where rare pepe meme comes from?
Do people just make a pepe meme and call it rare pepe?
im still confused why people would pay for meme  Huh
Rare Pepes are Pepes that have not been seen by many. The more times a Pepe is shared, the less rare it becomes. Yes, if you create your own, original Pepe Meme, you have just introduced a Mint Condition Rare Pepe into the Meme Marketplace. However, if your Pepe is over poor quality, you are less likely to receive any interest in your Rare Pepe. Rare Pepes are like Bitcoins, they have value because of scarcity and people want them.

Hey man if you are still buying rare pepes, I have a few rare pepes that have only been seen by 2-3 people. Let me know if you are intetested.

What's going on with payment? The campaign was updated right at the end of the week, but it's a few days later and I have yet to receive my payment. When will I get my BTC?
1408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much BTC have you gambled? (anonymous on: July 27, 2015, 05:50:32 PM
i think i have done over 50btc in all gambling site around, but thats the wagering with actually only less than 5 btc amount i ever had
luckybit and some dice site is where i spend my btc for gambling so far, not much for sports betting

How much did you lose?
i think its pretty fair to say that he lost about 40 bitcoins as people usually play until they loose and nearly never end up in profit though thats just my guess

I think what he is trying to say is that he has done 50 BTC in wager, but always had a bankroll of 5 BTC or less. So in reality, he couldn't have lost more than 5 BTC, assuming he lost all of his gambling money.
1409  Economy / Speculation / Re: Got my 1st BTC, and now? on: July 25, 2015, 11:56:52 PM
Right now OP, you are one in 21 million. That is fantastic, but you can still improve. Get to 2.1 BTC, become one in 10 million. Once you get there, get 7 BTC - one in 3 million, then hit the big 21 BTC... and be one in a million. You can continue on from there, but for most of us, being one in a million in regards to BTC is a fantastic benchmark.

where do you get these information (statistics), i am not part of these list.
I think hold them or invest somewhere smart.

Is this really that difficult to grasp ? He means the number of bitcoins that someone owns in relation to the maximal number of bitcoins.

1 btc out of 21 million = one in 21 million
2.1 btc out of 21 million = one in 10 million
21 btc out of 21 million = one in a million

-> 21 million divided by X.

Yeah i understand now, so the 21 million of btc is the total that is for the moment.
I think i am somewhere at the end

21 million isn't the total amount minted right now, but if you see it as an investment, it is the end game that is important. Since Bitcoin halves every few years, the total of all coins within 20 or so years will near 21 million. Of course, it won't be exactly that, and if you want to get technical, there are also a large number of coins that have been lost. For general use though, 21 million and 20 million won't make a huge difference, just stick to 21.
1410  Other / Meta / Re: What Does Marketplace Look Like in Local Boards? on: July 25, 2015, 11:53:31 PM
I've looked at the German section recently. Well you do have to realize that there is a major price difference between the US and Europe and UK. Obviously this is going to result with even more differences when we look at country specific prices. I would say that the US would be the cheapest and that one should get their stuff from it (if you can avoid high importing tax and whatnot).
For accounts this is different. Like I've previously said, it has probably got to do with the wealth of the people (1st - 3rd world countries). I haven't seen any accounts being sold on the Croatian section (yet).

Yeah, my assumption was that buying accounts, codes, etc. That people generate themselves would typically be cheaper in local boards. However, I didn't expect that tangible goods would be cheapest in US. I figured that since many goods are produced overseas, and overseas sellers have a lower standard of living typically, they would sell items for cheaper in their local area.

I seriously doubt that they are yours. Probably illegally obtained in the deep web or something.

Also, if they are yours, do you know how much trouble someone could get you in with information like that? Let's say they were very crafty and scammed hundreds of bitcoins, using your information. Guess who the blame would lie on?

Yeah exactly my thoughts. If someone was willing to cough up $1,000 dollars worth of Bitcoin, it would only be because they can do a ton more damage than that $1,000 investment. OP understands this, or else he would ask for much lower prices. The only explanation for this sale is that it is not his information.
1412  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Banks love the Blockchain but not Bitcoin? on: July 25, 2015, 11:47:21 PM
Sure, you're a moron.

Bitcoin technology is free and open source, people can use it to whatever they want or need, if banks are able to use it to cut costs and improve their systems good for them.

what do you mean?

The blockchain technology, its an advanced accounting system with security built in. It's basically a huge ledger of transactions. That's what the banks are interested in.

The bitcoin is rough in feature and effectiveness, but the concept that can be built upon is a huge step forward in accounting.

And how can a stock trading via blockchain work without a vital blockchain?

It does work with a proper accounting system, the blockchain is a different, newer type that draw attention. What are you trying to say?


such a system can not be just as efficient as a dezentralized blockchain with miners

How so? Ever heard of Proof of Stake (PoS)?

All they would need is nodes and the system isint less usable if centralized... Its security would become a sole responsibility, just like the bank system is now. Or they could integrate the technology in other system.

They arent trying to copy paste the code and using it. They are interested in its Concept.

To add on to this, banks are interested in the blockchain, not the Bitcoin blockchain. They can, and will, very easily create their own altcoin clone of BTC, control all the nodes, premine all the coins, and utilize the blockchain technology as they please, with their coins used as tokens.
1413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: July 25, 2015, 11:43:16 PM
because you cant do nothing with bitcoin that you cant already do with fiat currency. this is the real and hard true.

You can make a phone call by going to a website and paying in bitcoins without signing up. Same as skype but you have to pay?

You can send money worldwide for less than pennies.I send money for free

You can use your cell phone to pay for things instead of carrying around a phone AND a wallet.I can pay with my phone and i can reach my bank account

You don't have to worry about identity theft with your cards.Why worry. My money has incurance

You can vote anonymously and securely.Is there another way?

For every ten new people that hear the news about bitcoin, nine of them will be a scared, unintelligent, naysayer like this. But the tenth will buy a small amount, maybe just a dollars worth, start to try it out, get the idea, buy for a few hundred to use on purchases, he will experience the value rising, keep a few hundred dollars worth in his wallet for futuren purchases, get the idea, then go all in.


I have bitcoins, and i heard about bitcoins in 2013. Just because i have does not mean i have to look at the bs some of the posters is writing.

You don't have to do that.

Your posts tell me that you are totally uninformed, you have a dropdown curtain over your eyes. I can hardly imagine someone being out of vision to that degree after two years. Trolling?


Then point out where i am wrong.

You can't send money worldwide, for pennies, with fiat. Furthermore, if you do agree to the fees to send money worldwide (or anywhere, really), you can't send money with fiat without having a ton of personal information (full name, address, CC number, etc. etc.). I will agree that some of the potential uses were pretty lame, but there are a lot of legitimate benefits Bitcoin holds over fiat. If you have been with Bitcoin since 2013, and you don't see this, why the hell are you even here?
1414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: so, whos buying? on: July 25, 2015, 11:38:19 PM
Most people don't spend their Bitcoin because they view it as an investment, and don't want to lose future value. Once this goes live, people will finally be able to spend their Bitcoins on other investments, and can continue to see their value grow without being forced to hold.

Dang... that's rough.

From what I have heard over time, holding Bitcoin hasn't particularly been a smart business decision thusfar. The currency is always fluctuating, and since many businesses didn't begin looking into Bitcoin before the coverage it got in late 2013, a majority of businesses have only been around to watch it drop.
1416  Other / Off-topic / Re: DO YOU HAVE 1 BITCOIN? on: July 25, 2015, 07:55:19 AM
I have only 1/20th of BTC, and I will probably never have a full coin, I will be tempted to waste it before xD.

If you actually would like to earn your first full coin, I highly recommend looking into selling a service. If you have any particular skill (coding, writing, drawing, etc.) there is a large market all willing to pay in Bitcoin and start working asap. Check out the services section for ideas, if you have any hobby or trait you are good at there is work for you.
1417  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: New Bitcoin/crypto related website? on: July 25, 2015, 07:53:16 AM
News sites are definitely the way forward, as long as you can find quality writers, and not people just "telling their opinion".

Quality writers do not come cheap though, I'll tell you that much Smiley
As someone who has worked with several websites within the Bitcoin niche, it appears that news related sites seem to be pretty successful. They take a decent investment at the start, unless you want to write all the content yourself, but once they gain a bit of traction you can make pretty hefty profits. Earnings increase once you start selling sponsored reviews, which from what I have seen net the most income for the sites.
Though we are all entitle to our on opinion but I feel the main purpose of the OP asking us this question is because he needs something he could earn decent amount every month, are you saying that bitcoin news niches could be highly monetized?

Yes... that's exactly what I said. News sites earn considerable amounts of advertisement revenue once they pick up steam and build a bit of an audience. In addition, many goods and services will pay top dollar for full length sponsored reviews listed on the site, which costs a lot and earns the site administrator a ton.

legendary is assigned at random from 850 activity if i'm not mistaken, but legendary is useless it cost too much and it does not offer anything over hero

anywhere from 775 to 1030 actually: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

chances of selling a bitcointalk account is higher if sold here rather than selling in ebay


i cant imagine a bitcointalk account would even sell on ebay, if it manages to even get listed and not taken down in the first place. "bitcointalk account" isnt exactly a popular search term on ebay...

Definitely. 99% of any potential buyers of Bitcointalk accounts already browse the forums, and the active shoppers are going to check the Digital Goods section first. Listing an account on a third party like eBay is such a waste of time, especially considering how niche the good is.
1419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Companies are Experimenting With BTC Blockchain & They Won't Build Their Own on: July 25, 2015, 07:48:05 AM
What's to stop a company from just creating a BTC clone altcoin and premining every coin, and limiting nodes to their own servers? This wouldn't cost the millions of dollars implied, and a company like VISA or Mastercard, for example, would still maintain all the benefits they would be getting through the blockchain.
