It is more like ETH is programmable fiat - centrally controlled, perpetual inflation with a programming language attached.

the code is invalid in mocacinno.com/ how then can a valid code be gotten? The code was given by blockchain. Please, how do I upload a picture so that i may show you the given address in the wallet

I presume by "blockchain" you mean "blockchain.info"?  If so and it was copied fully, I would guess blockchain.info has a bug.  

However blockchain.info doesn't recognize it either:

You can upload the screenshot to a 3rd party site like imgur.com and link it.

this is the bitcoin address.

I tried it on several other bitcoin platform but i still got the same report. But when i post my own wallet address, it is valid. So I told him to take a screen shot to see if there was any mistake but it was thesame.


Where did you obtain this address?  It does not appear valid.

Poor bitcoin holders Sad. It`s interesting, how do they find those 60 bitcoiners? Is it technically possible to trace such transactions?

The article mentions how they did it:

"The Bolivian bitcoiners were arrested for seemingly distributing bitcoin-related pamphlets at the Cine Center of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and possibly planning to sell or mine bitcoin, as according to the statement they were gathered and “carrying out training activities related to the investment of money with characteristics of multilevel schemes”.

Only a small number of people think exponential. Be one of them.

You are right. Since 2009, 2010, 2011 thinking that way has paid off.  $1 million is quite high, but people said the same at $1,  $3, $10, $100, $1300, $2790 etc

6-7 years ago, is there a someone who predicted the future price of bitcoin? I don't think. Some people may be sensed the potential and made some investment but even them they didn't predict the actual price of today. $1 million is a disputable predict but also be possible the growth of this crypto money industry looks logarithmic.


One example from June 2011 (almost exactly 6 years ago), talking about thousands to 10s of thousands. There were others:

Have you read the About TA section below? Your question is already answered there.

Quote
Why does it say “Transaction does not exist”?

In the following cases, you may be told that your transaction does not exist:
1) Too low fee: We only provide accelerator services for those with at least 0.0001BTC/KB transaction fees;
2) Node reboot: When a Bitcoin node is rebooted, synchronization of transaction data may be delayed. You can try again later;
3) Previous transaction unconfirmed. Your transaction can’t be confirmed if previous transactions connecting to yours are unconfirmed. You’ll need to wait till all previous transactions are confirmed first. You can also use our accelerator to help with that.
We can’t accelerate confirmation of “Double spent” transactions either.

Also another trick for you, free of charge: Wait for  xx:00 o'clock and submit your transaction immediately. It usually works.


So, is this transaction stuck now?

https://blockchain.info/tx/a07cbad4187b6ccf606452b6574fb9332afe0367e9add3bfe250094d7a2e597f

I just went through this transaction stuck.

I sent what egifter.com said to send as fee's.

I'm going take a nap, I been on this all day.

If they said 50 sat/byte, you'll have to ask them why their code is broken. In the meantime, try accelerating it as above. 😀

What if he never comes back? We could agree on a date, about 80 years from now(?), on which we give certain parties access to the never touched coins.

What if he returns 150 years from now? Why do you think it is okay to steal?
1409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Small fortune, now which country ? on: May 28, 2017, 02:34:13 PM
It will be a lot of choice because there are many people here. But I believe that the place I am staying at this time is the best place. The best thing is to live in the country where you were born and also where your ancestors are. It's the hometown that always makes everyone want to come back. You do not need another place, you just have to stay where you are born.

You´re so right, god (whichever) bless you. but i have no family to speak of,, and of all negatives that may endure, i´m free ! I said, i´m 53, but that may be a game changer as well.



What is your current citizenship?  If it is US recall the requirement of paying taxes on worldwide income (or the "exit tax" if you renounce). As someone mentioned above, consider Puerto Rico due to the tax laws for gains for US citizens who are residents.  It also depends on what you consider "a small fortune" - double digit millions, single digit millions, hundreds of thousands. And if you intend to realize gains over time or in a single year or over a decade for example.

One option would be to realize the gains while a PR resident, then travel or move somewhere thereafter.



Here is a bit about it:

1410  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-05-27] Bitcoin Experiences an Intense Flow of New Money and Mainstream Att on: May 28, 2017, 11:13:53 AM
Attention from the mainstream media always helps, but they time on time again don't manage to describe Bitcoin properly. I have constantly been hearing that it's purely the blockchain as technology that gives Bitcoin value, but they fail to name up why Bitcoin is gaining big time in popularity. I don't hear anything regarding Bitcoin's decentralized nature in the way that you don't need any entity in the middle to send and receive money, that you can use Bitcoin to store value outside the banking system, etc. Or.... It's not being mentioned on purpose....

They miss the big picture that while the block chain is valuable, what give the block chain value is that it is secured by a huge distributed (ignoring for now centralization of miners) system backed by a huge amount of value. Without the incentive to secure the block chain, bitcoin wouldn't be worth much.

Yet they don't investigate Nazi Trumps refusal to produce his tax returns........

Yet another reason to abandon centralised exchanges, especially US ones.

The ones that would be investigating something that is perfectly legal  (or advocating doing so) - not producing tax returns - are the Nazis and leftist fascists authoritarians.  In a free country, that which is not illegal is legal and investigating something that is legal is the trick authoritarians use the world over to control people.

Agreed that many should avoid centralized exchanges where possible.

1412  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-05-24]Bitcoin Scaling Agreement Officially Met: Segwit + 2MB Hard Fork on: May 27, 2017, 11:56:00 PM
Things are already approaching the level of insanity for Bitcoin scaling problem. It is about time that Bitcoin stakeholders show the whole world that they are up for the challenge. Bitcoin is supposed to be faster than lightning and cost-efficient but what is happening right now is damned the opposite.
With the average time between blocks of 10 minutes bitcoin was never supposed to be lightning fast, any credit card or cash is faster than bitcoin when making transactions face to face, bitcoin really shines when it comes to sending money over long distances at a low cost but the mining fees keep getting higher because there are too many transactions going on.

Confirmation time on a credit card is on the order of months - that is much slower than 10 minutes.

the scan cam up when i sent him the i think URI code and bition address, i tried a file recovery but apparently i was thorough, is there anything he can do on his end?



Nothing that I can think of on his end. Without the private keys the coins are lost.
1414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: payment received before Synch completed but HD not big enough for 122gig data on: May 27, 2017, 04:28:16 PM
hey no i don't have the wallet dat. i wiped that portion of i removed bitcoin from the application support section. i am seeing all this stuff now and wished i hadn't, i don't have the private key info.

And you emptied that trash?  If so, can you try a file recovery tool?  E.g. DiskWarrior?   If you wish to try to scan the drive, you would want to stop using the computer now so as to avoid writing more information to the disk (hdd or ssd) so as to avoid potentially writing over that file. 

That is the main option right now.

I am curious what "scan" you sent him?  Was it a QR code of the public key?  If so, that won't do any good.
1415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: payment received before Synch completed but HD not big enough for 122gig data on: May 27, 2017, 03:48:19 PM
Do you have the wallet.dat?

Probably is here:
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat

If so you would have the private keys.
1416  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-05-24]India’s Government Seeks Public Comments on How Bitcoin Should Be Re on: May 25, 2017, 09:57:30 PM
Given India thinks that bills larger than 5 $ or euros are "large bills" and people can't be trusted to have them, I can't imagine that they embrace any type of regulation that favors liberty.

They like to control people and bitcoin is anti-control.
1417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: After transaction is confirmed coins get sent to someone else's address on: May 25, 2017, 04:19:49 PM

Now I see why customer support is low, this wasn't coinbase. 😀  

If there are support forums on there, maybe there are people there who would know the answer?

Edit: it appears there are forums there.
1418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: After transaction is confirmed coins get sent to someone else's address on: May 25, 2017, 04:01:07 PM
ok thank you, that is what i figured but since the transaction shows 60 confirmations but the coins still dont show in my wallet yet and then i see them being sent to another address I started to get a little worried. Is it somewhat normal to get lots of confirmations but still not have the coins displayed in your wallet?

The fact that you sent them to some web site that is depositing them in an account for you is an important detail.  ;-)

As far as if they haven't shown up in your wallet there yet, that would also depend on the web site.  To me, it seems strange that they wouldn't show up at least as "pending" instantly (in a second or two) and then "confirmed" after 3-6 confirmations.  If you can share the web site, that might be helpful to know.

Contacting this web site's support team would be an important step if this type of question isn't covered in their FAQ.

Total Gold market is 8 Trillion USD. Is that realistic to you? Not to me. A realistic target should be around 50k$/btc at first, then we talk.

I think you are right, $50k would have to come first and bitcoin will have to continue to prove itself to get mass adoption.

But, it really depends on the use cases. If use cases continue to expand and markets too, then anything is possible.   One huge use case is protecting your wealth from authoritarians who want capital controls or are inflating the value of the currency away - essentially at lot like gold's use cases except that it is also completely portable if you need to leave, e.g., Venezuela, China, Iran, Argentina, etc without having your gold/silver etc confiscated at the border.  Or even if you want to stay and just protect your wealth from the ravages of inflation in 3 of those countries. 

Obviously bitcoin has many more like remittances, micro-payments (if LN is available), etc, but the digital gold use case alone is a huge.

Hello everyone!
I am new to bitcoin so I apologize if my question seems silly but i sent some coins to a website and due to the confirmations taking a long time I started checking the status with blockchain and blockomonics.
Now that the transactions have been confirmed I can see on the tree chart on blockchain that the address i sent them to almost immediately sent them to someone else's address and from there to another and another etc.
Why is this? it is normal?

It depends on the web site and who is using it etc.  Maybe they were buying something or moving them to cold storage or something else. Smiley
