Nothing's new. Most of the time, blockchain.info shows incorrect data in their site due to some attacks on their services. If you want you can use other blockchain parser, I recommend you to use blockr.io.

I am not sure if there are 'that' many discussions about alt coins, but I agree a large part of the posts is about earning bitcoin (mostly sig campaigns) and unfortunately also ponzis. That being said, if you look at the Bitcoin PH FB group, you can also see there are plenty of people seriously interested in bitcoin, having in-depth discussions about it and organizing bitcoin-related events in PH. Still, there is plenty of spam on FB about faucets/referrals/etc. - but at the FB group that just gets deleted. So some rules and moderation would be required in a new subforum, yes. I think that's the case for any local subforum. Currently, because a lot of the posts in the Filipino thread are about a specific part of bitcoin (let's call it "earning bitcins"), it can discourage other people to post about other subjects, like "using bitcoin as remittance". You could post about it, get a reply or two, but it would be hidden through the pages rather quickly. That is exactly the reason why I think a new subforum would be great (or: why I want it personally.) It allows different discussions more easily. In addition I do think that Filipinos can sometimes have the need to talk in their native language. As a Dutch, I do like talking in Dutch sometimes, even though I use English much more than Dutch. STILL I think it is not a problem to have English discussions in a Filipino subforum either, especially if it's about specific events, meetings and subjects relevant to only the Philippines. Personally I see it like this: - Keep the "Pilipinas" topic in the subforum as sticky and allow any kind of discussion in there (but obv not insane spamming.) Just for quick-questions, off-topic things, etc. - English/Tagalog topics/replies both fine. - I hope there will be 1 Cebu topic with Cebuano language, depending if the ppl from Cebu want that. Or just a Bisaya topic. This all depends if there is a need for it. - Referral links, especially to micro earning sites (faucets) and "invest sites" (ponzi scams) should be not allowed, but discussion of it somewhat tolerated in original "Pilipinas" topic, just like now. Just to protect the subforum against spam. It is the same rule as Bitcoin PH FB group and I assume other local subforums have this too (perhaps unofficially.) I really think it will be great, and equal (or more) activity compared to other local subforums. I also think there will be more different subjects for discussions than the current topic, which IMO will lead to more Filipinos/expats/companies joining the discussions too. In the end I also think it will not hurt anyone (most can just ignore the whole board ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) ) especially if there is decent moderation. I agree there should be enough activity to justify a subforum for it, but I think there is and will be enough. I agree to the FB part in which there are some serious discussions about bitcoin developments, though it is not wholly reflected on this form as some Filipino members of this forum are interested on either ponzis or signature campaigns alone. Good moderation would probably help arrange the clutter of these kind of discussions, and potentially increasing the interest of Filipino people in bitcoin if there exist a sub-forum dedicated to them to freely discuss bitcoin and other bitcoin-related stuff.

That happens to me sometimes, seeing that I mostly reply to threads when everyone else is sleeping, but I haven't do that one-liner post yet. :v Maybe just report the posts of that person and see if the mods will handle the request?

It would benefit bitcoin, yes, but it would limit the merchant's profitability by turning off the rest of other people who still want to transact with fiat. Also bear in mind that in order to run a business, you need to pay things with fiat, and a utility or power service provider that accepts bitcoin for utilizing their service doesn't exist yet.

Wealth inequality exists in the real world as well. Wealth equality is a pipe dream that will never exist.
if we all think like that, it will never change. bitcoin is still fairly new. i think it is still possible to spread the coins more equally at some point in the future. but that will only happen if we stand up and start doing something about it. Ok, let's suppose that bitcoins are distributed equally to each of the 7 billion people on the planet. That means that each person receives 0.003 BTC, currently worth about $0.72. What good will that do? $0.72 is a tiny amount of money to even the poorest people in the world. If in case it is spread among 7B people, the price would also change and would certainly not stay at $240 range. Even though wealth is evenly distributed, there will come a time that the equilibrium would be disturbed, and thus resulting to inequality. There had never been a time that wealth was distributed evenly; inequality exists even before books were invented lol.

Signature campaigns and writing things online are some stuff that I do to get some money out of the interwebs. The bitcoins that I get from signature campaigns are kept on my offline wallet, whereas the money I get from writing things online are the funds that I use to help me fund my education. All in all, I can say that I can somehow manage to live by just being online and working online.

If in case an emergency happened and I need to get quick funds, why wouldn't I sell some of my bitcoin holdings? I believe that bitcoin will go big in the future, but in the recent times, bitcoin has only a small scope of application in real life; you can't pay mortgages and medical bills through bitcoin.

Looks like it's on the rise. I expect 260-270 as the peak of this rise.
but to me it looks like that we are stuck at this level of price and going to stay at $230 range for a very long time. I think it even can last until next year without any significant change. I have the feeling we'll see an attempt to break through the $250 level next week. If that's going to happen, we might be sitting there for at least a month without much movement. There is no point in waiting for significant news anymore. It won't do much for the price unless Amazon or another company equally as big announces it will accept Bitcoin payments. News isn't that much of a factor now. I feel that whales are silently accumulating for a nice push upwards. The market has been boring for a month or so now, it would be pretty nice to see some exciting movements too.

Wow, a 12-bet parlay. I was expecting to see some high odds and high winnings, but still congrats OP! Winning those 12 bet parlay sure is hard.

Price seems cheap and also the design with touchscreen feature is amazing in the screenshot. They are new and i don't think anybody have got a copy of it till now. I have checked on their website and found warranty of 1 year, which is also nice for that price. But i doubt it will be easy to get warranty on online purchased items.
From my side, price seems reasonable and warranty shows their confidence on product.
I came across a hardware wallet named Case which offers some unique feature--embedded GSM for free unlimited transactions--which is kinda inviting. Afaik, it costs less than $200, also Trezor hw wallets are priced at $99. Idk much about this Keep Key wallet, though I must say that their product is also inviting.

Lol, who would generate 1 bitcoins per day by using their laptop/desktop without the need of specialized mining rigs? Just wow, I smell malware that could probably get your bitcoins from you. :v

I have coins sitting in my cold wallets from 2013 till now doing nothing ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I absolutely don't care if my coins aren't being used. I rather leave them there than investing them. Keeping them has a lot more potential to give you amazing returns rather than investing them onto something which could possibly scam you or run away with your money. In this kind of ecosystem that we have, it's really better trust your own self with your own money rather than asking someone to keep/multiply it for you.

If in case this is true, I'll buy all of those from the seller without hesitation! Perhaps OP you just misunderstood the user's listing?

And the problem still persists. Guess what? I've been greeted by this page for straight 2 hours of browsing! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.tinypic.com%2F2lasks8.png&t=663&c=UNtS8-PvSk5pNg) Anyone else experiences this?

The question of OP is related to ...
I see the dude will earn some profit. If he convert this profit in bitcoin or beer - who cares? And who have about $70 000 - there are better rates, but that is about adult business. I don't want to argue about this but your reply to him seems pretty much off-topic and out of the scope of this discussion so I've pointed it out.
OP, why not try buying an account with a high ranking in here and then do some forum posting? Or do services to others which they might find useful. That are some of the ways I could think of for you to 'invest' involving bitcoins.

Hey OP i have the best investment for you.
Try buying altcoins at Yobit, you might make tons of money. Some altcoins give 999% returns /day, but its risky too, what do you think?
I don't think this is a pretty good suggestion for a newbie familiarizing himself/herself in bitcoins. Most altcoins are pump and dumps, yes, but still they do not offer guaranteed returns of investment and most of the time you are likely to suffer a loss from them. Trading is for the advanced users of bitcoins and shouldn't always be suggested to a newbie that's just starting his/her way on bitcoins.

Since you got that 0.12 bitcoins, why not check the digital goods section and see if there are available accounts with a Sr. Member rank and start on signature campaigns? There are also other ways to get yourself involved in bitcoins and still get a pretty good reward for it like writing for bitcoins and other skill you may offer and ask for bitcoins in return.

Was about to ask whether it is possible to create two accounts until I came to see that it isn't. :v Anyway, haven't logged on in my account for 3 days or so, but still my miner is working pretty neat. I have a question, my miner is 92% healthy and is running at 9GH/s, should I repair it? What's your strategy guys? At what point would you repair your miner? If you find a cheap technician, hire it when you have under %90. If not you can wait until it come down to %85. Everybody have different strategy in this game. I prefer to play like that. At the current rate, I won't make enough to repair at even 85% without depleting everything and using the faucet to help increase it a bit (which means it's effectively spending more than it makes). I'm thinking of depositing something to afford a new 20 GH/s miner, though I'm still not fairly sure on that. I have the funds on repairing my miner but I think I would be doing so when it reaches 80% (and I think that when that level comes, it would only perform 8GH/s) What % are you at now? Below 85 or above? I'm wondering if it's based on rounding (i.e., 95.00 = 100%, 85.00->94.99 = 90%, etc.). 91.14% right now. I'm thinking if the performance of the miner depends on the percentage, say when it decreased by 10% or something, it will decrease its performance by 1GH/s, but in this case, I'm at 92% and the miner decreased its performance by 1GH/s

Is this really something we can rely to? I see plenty of those who 'availed' for this are Newbies with only 1 post.
Some of the most trusted members on the forum have vouched, including master-p, one of the most popular escrowsers as well as monbux and notlist3d (all hero members) plus countless senior and full members. Not trying to degrade you in some sort, but they only vouched because you gave them copies. Reading most pages of this thread are repetitive newbies who 'pm'ed' you and wanting to avail the service and saying that 'they received it upon paying.' EDIT: Mostly newbies with 1 or 2 post/s.
