If OP say that he have some BTC in Electrum in the time of the fork then step 1 is not required.What's more important before any attempt of claim BCH is to move BTC from Electrum wallet to a new wallet/address and then use that seed in ElectronCash wallet.

I know you posted link to ElectronCash,but would not be the first time that user still download fake BCH wallet and loss BTC&BCH in this process.When it comes to cryptocurrency every mistake is costly paid.

I think the idea is not bad,at least because users could download files at their full internet speed which sometimes it is not the case when you use torrent and depend of number of seeders and their upload speed.I can say that for me it is not problem to download some file from torrent since I am protected by antivirus which scan files and also I check comments of users who download that file before.

As some commented it is much better to download with torrent,you can start and stop downloading at any time,if user have good protection on PC and he is careful what he download the risk is reduced to the smallest extent possible.

I have never had a problem myself with virus&malware that came with the torrent file.

You should really take some action regarding some of the basics things when reading,you need to read whole article with understanding and not just a part.Where in article you see that BTC is existed in 2001?Infraud is maybe created that year,but it is exposed and destroyed just recently and one of the co-founder was in possession of BTC but in year 2017/2018.So there is no BTC in 2001,only in your imagination.

You have chance to buy BTC even for a lower price then 6000$,why you did not buy then,you wait to price go lower maybe?Now you ask when price will go to 6000$ again so you can buy 13+ BTC and make 13x200 000$ profit of only 2 600 000$ in 10 months?

I have to disappoint you in your thoughts,maybe you will never see 6000$ this year again and 200 000 $ by the end of this year is more than the most optimistic predictions for this year.However you can dream about that,or you can buy 7+/- BTC now and wait for magic happens.If price go to 200 000$ you will earn "only" 1 400 000 $ minus investment 80 000 $,a fortune for most people in the world.

I do not see what the difference is in asking victim that pay ransome in BTC,BCH or any other coin,ransom is still ransom and victim is still victim.So far only BTC was mentioned in combination with ransomware,and maybe it is not bad that shadow also falls to competition.

What is important here is that even if victim pay,files remain locked-so in most cases it is not advisable to pay ransome but try to get help from professionals.Very often after some time decrypt keys become publicly available so data can be saved,but backup is something which is necessary for data retention in case of ransomware infection.

At the end every user should think before click on anything,infection can not enter in your system if you do not let that happens.

Switzerland is known for some time as a very friendly country when it comes to cryptocurrency,you can even pay your tax in BTC in town of Zug if I remember well and also buy BTC on machines for the purchase of railway tickets.But in this article there is no too much or at all mentioning of BTC,but the main theme is how will bank prevent some digital currencies to take place they have now.


So that "wild west" is maybe BTC,and since they (banks) can not control BTC only way to stay in game is to create their own digital currency.But I think that BTC still has its future,it is first decentralized currency for people and because of that there is a huge interest in it.

It's good that there are more coins available for payment of your services beside BTC,good move

I use SteadyTurtle more then 2 years and I am completely satisfied with the service and with the price.I can certainly recommend it for any user who wants to pay for hosting or domain with cryptocurrency.Keep up the good work

People are used to connecting China with BTC,but this is not a significant factor anymore.Chinese authorities are currently focused on the prevention of their citizens to use foreign exchanges for trading because they successfully stopped all exchanges in China.Nothing good should not be expected regarding BTC when it comes to China,the only question is whether they continue to allow mining.Although I understand that mining just make big profit for them and money is coming in county,the only thing that bother them is the money leaving the country.

I not see any connection between Chinese new year and any effects on BTC price,before or after.

For those people who try to accumulate more BTC it is better to price stay low so they can buy/earn more with time,I think that's logical.But if you have large amount of BTC and intention to sell them at the highest possible price it is logical that you want to increase prices as much as possible.

Commonly opinion is that slow growth is better and healthier way,but hunger for profit is endless and most users just want to see new ATH,sell and buy back when correction occurs.There is nothing wrong in it, this is simple in human nature.

The question is simple,do you want that BTC become a stable currency that we can use anywhere and anytime or you want that BTC is only pump&dump scheme from wich mainly profit those who are the richest?

First I do not know why it is a problem to transfer some of your profit to fiat,you do not want to pay tax or your crypto exchange does not have KYC?

I think that banks are perhaps the most powerful institutions in the world,and if they want it is very easy for them to strike on cryptocurrency very hard.Imagine that all or most of worlds banks say that buying/selling cryptocurrency becomes illegal,it means no direct money flow from banks to exchanges and vice versa.People would have to find another way to to buy/sell crypto,so only to trade in person or maybe on ATMs.

So far banks still evaluate situation what to do with BTC and cryptocurrency in general,we see some news that they are not still seriously concerned(not losing to much profit I suppose),but if profits star to go down and Lightning Network really improve scalability and make transaction fast&cheap there will be some reaction from banks for sure.

Regarding ICO I do not have any opinion how would such scenario reflected on this kind of business,but in general they will also be affected if banks are set completely negative toward cryptocurrency.

I do not understand that no one really did not understand what was going on with Coinbase rumor.It all started with tweet of Garry Tan(investor in Coinbase) who say how fast is Nano transaction and that he think this coin will be in top 5 one day.That does not mean that Nano will be listed on Coinbase in the near future,and certainly not before we all know what happened on Bitgrail.

People are buying Nano because price is pretty good now,and can easily be doubled in few months-generally seems like a good investment.

What a news, again Steve Wozniak and his story about BTC.This time he even failed to sold them,and somebody thinks that this can have any effect on markets,come on, be a little serious-it is only 7 BTC. Besides that what is 70 000$ for a man who have more than 100 million $,almost nothing.Would you feel bad if someone cheats you for 7 $,is this be story for the headlines?

Obviously you have not read any post in this thread,maybe to try read post number 6?

There are at least two types of hackers,those who hack something or someone with the intent to steal something and others who hack some site/institution just to point to security flaws,but generally do not try to steal anything or do some sort of damage.In some cases, they are rewarded for their "work" becuse some company would lose a large amount of money and reputation if some bad hackers discover security flaw in system.

In this particular case I gave my opinion,it is possible that the hacker will return the rest of the tokens or he will keep them as reward for his work.

It is nice to see Nano is recovering and it is now holding 18 place in coinmarketcap,but with fairly good prospects to get in top 15 soon.Some of the price increase is for sure due to BTC price increase,but even when BTC price was under 10k$ Nano is showing ascending path.

It can also be bull trap initiated by hacker/s conected with BitGrail incident,but maybe he/she just sold everything he/she had.Price is just crossed 16$ and if BitGrail did not happen I have no doubt that price would be close to 30$ or even more.

I see that iOS wallet is working very good,and some extra works will need for Android in order to fix some bugs-but what I am waiting is support for hardware wallets,I hope Ledger will be first since there is some work in progres in this matter.

If you just look freightjoe posts/threads it is obviously he is completely negative towards BTC.Although it turned out that almost everything he post was wrong and does not have too much with reality,he continues to doing what he does best-spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.

If you know how things works there is not too much damage,but some inexperienced users are probably pulling some wrong moves when they read such titles.There is always a chance for any price,and any prediction/speculation is not problem-but I think that is ridiculous to connect date&price in such a frivolous manner.

It's a positive thing that hacker return 30 000 tokens,and there is a possibility he will return the remaining amount.The fact that between first transaction (September 2017), and second (February 2018) has passed several months indicates that some kind of negotiations have been conducted amongst hacker and CoinDash.Since he return most of tokens this was probably hack to point to some security flaws and then ask company for some reward.

I doubt that CoinDash offer anything to this hacker,so he is maybe trying to keep some % of tokens for himself in a legal way, as a reward for find security flaw.If it was a hacker who want to keep all tokens this company will never get back anything.

Yes,I did not read correctly what you wrote,it is enough for me to understand.

Problem for you is how you will determine what is capital gain of your users and how much tax he/she should pay to get your 25%.Also as I say there is big problem when you convert BTC to fiat and send by any way to someone.It is very easy for authorities to track such transactions.

I live in EU and every transaction I made incoming / outgoing is visible to my tax office.So your service is not for USA citizens,but also it will not work for most of European countries.

Anyway every service has potential customers,I do not condemn anyone in advance and everyone is free to use his money as he wants.

You say you want people to stop paying tax on cryptocurrency,but on the other side you offer your service with fee of 25% which is in most cases more than people would pay if they just cash out on their bank accounts and pay tax in their countries.

For me this makes sense only in the case that tax on cryptocurrency in user country is more then 25%.Also when you transfer fiat to Western Union or any bank account most of users will still need to explain from where is money coming since tax services follow all such activities.

I remember when this competition start from Toronto to Last Vegas in 2017,it was interesting to follow racers in daily task trying to pay in six different ways : bitcoin,gold,cash,chip&pin and contactless.It's really unbelievable how many difficulties have racers who use chip&pin card and contactless way of paying,we all think it's the usual way of paying but if you look some of the videos from race you will see this is not the case.Also racer who use only cash had one major disadvantage,as I can see he only use 1$ bill.Try to buy airport ticket with a bag full of banknotes.

I do not know how gold payment is finished in second place,but you can not pay hotel,airplane ticket or any food with gold bars.Second race is Asia will be very interesting and if rules stay same BTC have big chance to take victory again.

It is nice to have real time update,looks much better then before.As I say long term prediction have no too much sense since BTC is very unpredictable and it can go up or down anytime.

I have a suggestion for new coin,it is called Nano (former RaiBlocks).

Regarding financing of the project,you should consider to add some advertisement on your site to cover the costs of hosting and to get something for further development.I think that none of the users will not complain if the ads are unobtrusive and that there is not too much of them.
