Yeah, I will probably get some litecoins when it comes back from the land of the dead! Grin

By then you'll be too late.
1462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin get the ability to implement reversible transactions? on: July 26, 2016, 09:32:22 AM
Bitcoin as gone away from its initial vision I guess everything is possible now, soft forking everything they want and you don't even have to upgrade in order to get that feature implemented.
1463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why block size debate, why is it not higher than 1mb? on: July 26, 2016, 09:27:12 AM
Bosses say 1MB is enough than 1MB is enough.

You already have a bitcoin with larger blocks and faster confirmations, it's called litecoin, go get some!

I gambled a lot when I was under 18, actually I think I did like 95% of my entire life gambling before 18, and it was IRL because we didn't have the Internets back then...

I remember that. The before interenet struggle Sad
95% of your life wow ! How are you not in debt if I may ask ? Like what is your strategy or game plan?

Because I didn't have much cash to spend, there was no credit so you only lose what you had.

We played a lot of card games, I was usually quite good at it, if it does required skill, some were just games of chance.

Does anyone know where we could obtain a copy of a online vendor site that uses bitcoins that we can use to host a site ourselves?

Are you looking for ecommerce software or web hosting?

There is a new version of the kick ass torrent around, don't know if it is trustable, don't know if it is up to date.

It is like when piratebay was down, didn't took longer until they are back, by the hands of the funders or of someone else.

Address is: https://kickasstorrentsan.com/

Latest torrents from 7 days ago.

It blows my mind how people like this guy and Ulbricht have the intelligence and vision to set up such sites, yet screw up so royally in the process. Why the hell would this guy register the domain and use a Coinbase account in his own name? These guys should be so paranoid to even go take a shit never mind do all their operations from their own home without making sure they've got every base secured with numerous layers of security nevermind not even using a proxy to log into sites connected to you and using your real name in the process. Bafflles me.

This^

If you're going to be investigated by the most resourceful law enforcement agency in the world, you better be Ed Snowden paranoid level.

Never. My policy on the internet is easy and strict. Don't click on links! No matter how trusted a certain person or site is, any link will be ignored and thus not be clicked on.

How do you surf the web?

Stay away from those kind of websites, if you give your money to them you will lose it.

1472  Economy / Speculation / Re: End of the 2016 - BTC Price Prediction on: July 21, 2016, 01:04:51 PM
In the halving in 2012, the bitcoin rose 5 times 6 months after halving. So the price in 2016 year end could be more than $1000.

That bubble is attributed to the Cyprus financial crises, nothing to do with halving.
1473  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why need to use a Mixer? on: July 21, 2016, 12:51:34 PM
But should we say that BTC without mixer aren't anonymous?

no.
bitcoin anonymity has nothing to do with mixers.
you can be totally anonymous as long as the bitcoins in your address is not linked to you personally.

for example you can buy bitcoin with cash and receive it in your bitcoin address, that way nobody can know this address is for "you"

But you could trace BTC at everytime on blockchain and it's really difficult to buy large amount of BTC per cash in a lot of country

Usually it's illegal to buy large amounts of bitcoin with cash.

A bitcoin address is anonymous the same way an email address is anonymous, the moment you tell someone the address is yours it is no longer anonymous.
1474  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Where to buy without stupid "security" "features" ! on: July 21, 2016, 12:41:27 PM
Hi, I'm not bothered about privacy, I just want to buy some BTC with a debit card the same as buying anything else online. Any suggestions?

I'm not interested in scanning in My ID, or doing phone verification, etc. I may as well use banker money if that's a requirement. Also could anyone explain why buying bitcoin seems to be like the old days when a guy had to walk in front of a car waving a flag?

Thanks a lot and all the best,
Andy

You can't!

There are a lot of criminals out there waiting for an opportunity to unload their stolen credit cards, any business that accept credit card payments for bitcoins without some major verifications will close its doors in the first day.

I will just leave this here:

Genesis block, Bitcoin: The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

Block 1920000, Ethereum: Financial Times 20/Jul/2016 Ethereum bailout complete.

You don't know what a bailout is, or the author of the article doesn't know what a bailout is.

Bailout definition :

Quote
A bailout is a situation in which a business, individual or government gives money to a failing business in order to prevent the consequences that arise from a business's downfall

The devs, who became filthy rich thanks to their crypto token, feared that a third party who controlled more than 10% of all ether in circulation could tank the price and destroy (or affect) their wealth. To avoid this they bailed out themselves by stealing money from this party who executed a contract and returning this money to themselves.



No new money was given, a solution was presented and approved to solve a bug in the system that allowed the displacement of a shitload of money.

By your logic it is ok to do it in bitcoin but it is not ok to do it in ethereum.


No "new money" was given? Do you think that the money used to bailout the banks is "new money"? No, it's wealth coming from someone's pocket - most of the times consumers. Didn't you know?

Do you code? I bet no. There was no fucking bug in the system, the protocol worked fine and ethereum had no bug whatsoever. The contract was executed, full stop - but there was no bug in it. Even if you might argue that the contract said something that the creator of the contract didn't meant to say (e.g.: sorry, I signed that I was selling you my house but I didnt mean it), in any case is a problem with an APPLICATION, there was no fucking problem with Ethereum itself.

The equivalent in bitcoin would have been to hard fork to return the $400M stolen from MtGox - which, btw, were more than 10% of the total btc in circulation. That's the only fair comparison.

Nobody in Bitcoin land whould have seriously thought about hard forking because of MtGox. That's because Bitcoin is REAL MONEY built to LAST on SOLID FUNDAMENTALS, not a scam built but some butthurt devs that want to get extremely rich in the sort term and no other clear goal in mind.


Well, by what's happening with Ethereum's price it seems everyone is happy with the outcome, so, go cry somewhere else because nobody cares about your feelings.

I read some signature campaign about BTC mixer. I never try, but seems this is a good opportunuty for privacy. I would understand more about this kind of service and how BTC mixer are safe. Any Mixer user could explai me his experience and his suggestion?

When you steal coins or you want to buy some illegal stuff on the darknets you need to mix your coins.

Not in bitcoin.
