I have thought of that before but people do say that online wallet is quite risky.
so I don't prefer using it.

then use altcoin, which are faster in confirmation, but only choose the most stable between all those alt

dash and monero are a good choice

New account by kwukduck? His predictions are all over the place.

i don't think so, he is always against bitcoin, he would have predicted a 25% down in this case and not up for sure

it could be an alt of riiising though

anyway july is around the corner, i doubt we would rise to 300+ in one week...
14565  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: looking to try mining for fun and cheap - what are my options? on: June 27, 2015, 12:33:55 PM
If you just want to mine for fun, you should consider getting a Gridseed instead of a regular SHA miner, they are dirt cheap these days and you'll be able to mine both SHA and scrypt coins. You can find them for less than $20 on eBay. In any case you should totally try mining, it's extremely fun if you're new to crypto, I still remember how exciting it was to unbox and set up my first miner which was a Fury 1.3 mh/s  Smiley
Good luck and have fun!

Isn't it already unprofitable these days ?
Gridseed dual miner only produce 9GHS for SHA-256 & 300KHS for scrypt Sad

He better mine altcoin which can't be mined with ASIC

only those with special algo like cryptonight, fresh-algo, quark, hefty1, jha ecc, scrypt can be mined, and there are some asic for the whole Xxx(x11-x13-x15 ecc...) algo that are coming t

there is scrypt.cc for scrypt hashing, but i don't know how trusted they are, many said they are not legit
14567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Bitcoins created on: June 27, 2015, 12:26:06 PM
they are around 3800 actually, because of the diff retarget(two week) and the hash that keep increase

in fact there was day where 3900+ coins were produced
14568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OpenBazaar founder: We aren't the next Silk Road on: June 27, 2015, 11:45:37 AM
BitBay vs Openbazaar, which will win?

both like ebay and amazon, is good to have competitor, you can maybe something in one that there isn't in another, or a better price for soemthing that isn't in the other market

but i don't like that bitbay, will utilize only bitbay coin for its market
14569  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Fork: How Long Do We Have? on: June 27, 2015, 11:40:18 AM
But if we want wide adoption then we need people to be able to buy a coffee with bitcoins too, not just a car.

That's not going to happen, not ever, not unless people get paid their wages in Bitcoin. A consumer is not going to take an extra step for now reason, nor should they. I would say 90% of this community should be focused on wage integration if we want a Bitcoin success. Sadly, only a tiny fraction understands this point.

this is true, but it is not that easy to pay directly in bitcoin your employees, because, you need to face all sort of regulation and transparency, when doing such thing

so as long as there is no regulation on bitcoin in some countries, this thing will not see the light ever, and regulation comes with adoption, no one will bother about regulating a thing that does not raise the general interest

the problem is always one, adoption...

how do you know that is armory, if before it was working good? maybe you installed something else in some time ago and forgot about it? otherwise there might be some conflict with antivirus or corrupted file
14571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you pay for a hardware wallet? on: June 27, 2015, 10:32:54 AM
i would pay around 10-15, something like an usb but more reliable and more secure, that maybe offer signing offline and performing an offline tx, would be ideal for me

there was something like that, but i don't remember it anymore, it started with a B, there was a thread with all the bitcoin HW wallet, i need to find it...
14572  Economy / Economics / Re: if buying 100 BTC doesn't get the price to go up then what will on: June 27, 2015, 10:25:19 AM
probably you need to buy at least 4000 BTC for impacting on btc price  Huh

you would impact it only for one day, then the dumping will kill you, you need a constant influx of new money to rise the market price, not a single little pump

also a surging of the price in one sit only, will just lead to a brutal dump, for the weak hands

some bots in mtgox manipulated the price in 2013. I am amazing .... how much bitcoins they had used to manipulate the market ?

some times they use a strategy which involve fake walls, to rise the price, whitout actually selling/buying anything

for example top seller is selling at 250 and top buyer is buying at 240, the top seller and top buyers are bot, the top seller rise his sell to 260, then the top buyers rise it to 250 and so on...

but, what about trading fees ? buying & selling repeatedly will cost nothing ? I think they only paid the fees to manipulate the market ?

trading fee are negligable, they are around 0.25% and with big volume like 5k btc per movements, they fall around 0.1%, so they lose 5 btc, which may look a tons of money for us, but not for someone that has 5k btc...
14573  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Cost of Bitcointalk Accounts. on: June 27, 2015, 10:19:47 AM
I have this jr.member account with me (extra one)ehich I am thinking of selling .
I need 0.01 btc
do you think I can sell it for this amount?

member usually are sold for 0.05, so junior should be woth 0.01 at least while newbie is around 0.005 or less

you can try, but it also depend on the quality of your post
Newbies don't worth 0.005 and members don't worth 0.05 either. Newbies of 14 activity worth nothing, while those of 28 activity may worth 2-3mBTC. Members could worth 0.02-0.04 BTC, depending on their rank. Also Jr. Members could go for as cheap as 0.0044 (ref: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=992029.0), and is even cheaper than that of the price of newbies that you stated.

well i said it depend on the quality and the activity does matter but it isn't everything, i see newbies with +10 in trust, i'm sure that an account like that is worth more then 0.005

there is a guide to follow, but i like to give around 100k satoshi per activity, as a base price

14574  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Manipulation on: June 27, 2015, 10:16:04 AM
I think BTC price is manipulated. Al the order books are fake and you need a huge amount of value to move all the important exchanges at the same time. One you did that, you get reactive effect but the timing is important!

i don't think so, it is that they are using bot all over the place, in every exchange, you can use your too, human trading is very rare nowadays

manipulation is there but to a much less extent than before

nowadays there is a lot less manipulation, i think that's mainly due to the fact that traders are wiser. especially when good or bad news pop up and cause a massive price movement. news doesn't move markets anymore. that means that inside trading is less effective.

probably because there is also less interest in trading bitcoin at all, it could be the reason why the market is so stagnant lately

with greater manipulation, there should be greater up and down

So, how does BitTorrent handle illegal stuff? I don't use it, but I would think they don't have child porn being shared.

i think there are sort of moderator that check the torrent that users upload every day

it would be the same here, the escrow/arbiter will check if what you are selling is illegal or not

but then we can fall in a centralization market, which isn't what open bazar is aiming for

the point is that you can't have 100% regulation and decentralization, hell you can not even have 100% regulation in a centralized system...
if you consider loads and loads of illegal copyrighted material that is being downloaded through torrent, you see that they don't really have any control.
in fact the biggest usage of torrent is to download all these copyrighted files.

yeah but there some heavy illegal stuff that you will not find there like cp, so someone is actually controlling
14576  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you expect from the halving in 2016? on: June 27, 2015, 08:19:50 AM
ok what is the chance of it being green or blue? surely greater than the chances of it being red, you can't deny this come one...this is base probability

There are 66 red, and 33 green and blue. The chances of being non-red are 1/3 ... less than the chances of being red.

well but one should assume equality between unknown variables, exactly because they are unknown, so the cases must be done with 33 red 33 blue and 33 green, otherwise it does not make sense, because i might say that there are 49 green 49 blue and 2 red...

14577  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where can I invest? on: June 27, 2015, 08:14:35 AM
Bitcoins is itself a investment , Its like a share market price up and down Ever Sec . so its depend on you want to invest bitcoins in following -

Invest in trading area
Invest in Bitcoin Faucet (high investment gives high return Experience need)
Invest in btcjam get Flat Return (invest only in Trusted person)

also you can invest at LOAN in poloniex, also you can give Loan to some people trusted at bitcointalk
high profit Wink

Never provide a Loan here High risk of Loss here as well as high profit also


i don't agree, if they can give you a good collateral the risk is reduced almost to zero, so loan with collateral are not risky at all and provide a good return in the short term

the problem is that only few member are providing a good collateral, the majority want to do it without collateral, which result in a scam most of the times

Well, yeah... if they had the collateral, why would they need the loan? It's very rare for someone to need money and have the amount available but not want to use it. Usually this in itself is a sign of a scam.

one reason could be because, they don't know the value of they collateral, or because they are not able to sell it for the correct price that they need to buy what they want

14579  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitstamp stealing my ID and banking details ? on: June 27, 2015, 08:00:06 AM

but if an attack from hacker occur, then your id could be stole for malicious activity, this is why i can't trust exchange with id, and i'll never, send mine ever..

better to deal with exchange that ask your name and address only with limited deposit and withdrawals

Probably not. The exchanges don't really store your ID's on a database system. They probably store it offline. If the entire database with all the ID's was to be hacked or compromised , they would likely have to face serious charges.

this is true only if the attack is not performed while they are handling your id or someone other id, otherwise you might be in trouble, id can't be validated offline like bitcoin transaction
14580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's use Bitcoin to outsource on: June 27, 2015, 07:58:05 AM
china is more concentrate to boost their cny, than bitcoin, why they should care about a global currency when they can milk it via mining and dump it for increasing their revenue, and make their economy strongher?

many other country are only waiting for bitcoin to take off(for them is still a test), but if everyone is doing this, then bitcoin will never take off you know...
