I'm interested to invest to start a bitcoin pool, can you tell me where to start/invest ?!

Can't really help you on where to start, but I would advise you to look at alt-coin pools instead.
It will be extremely difficult for you to compete with the established Bitcoin pools.

Just my 2 c.
1483  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many friends did you recommend bitcoin to? Did they accept it? on: May 30, 2015, 02:06:51 PM
I don't think recommending Bitcoin to anyone is a good idea if they don't know about it.
I think one should educate someone about Bitcoin first and then if that person asks for it, then you can make recommendations.

You are wrong about this, recommend means to introduce someone about something. This means you will educate them as well and guide them until they are able to get / purchase their own bitcoin and able to keep it safe.
I recommend it to alot of people and after they ask me what Bitcoin is, I tell them it is a virtual currency ......  They lost interest after the word virtual. People are thinking that virtual is not real

Sorry to break it to you but you are wrong.
What you are talking about is "introducing" it to them, not recommending it.

Recommend:
Quote
put forward (someone or something) with approval as being suitable for a particular purpose or role.
"George had recommended some local architects"
synonyms:   advocate, endorse, commend, approve, suggest, put forward, propose, advance, nominate, put up, mention;



That is the purpose of you to recommend it for them if they dont know anything you can start to teach them anything about bitcoin. Say positive things

about bitcoin and make sure you convince them to take part in this big investment

See answer above.



You must because they are your friend and you said that someone educated them before using of bitcoin? We should do that because we know about bitcoin and we have an experience by using of it.

Also see my answer above.

I am very sorry to hear this happened to you, it is an unusually shitty circumstance.

I haven't read the whole thread, so this may have been mentioned, but I saw you said you weren't very computer savvy: You don't have to mess with Github at all, but if you want to use bitaddress.org, go to the options on say Chrome browser and click "Download Webpage". Download it as a complete webpage, then disconnect your computer from the Internet, open the file in your web browser, and then generate your desired amount of addresses while disconnected from the Internet. It is the best way I can recommend to anybody who is not really computer savvy; it is pretty simple for I think anyone to do.

I wouldn't do that on a computer that has/had computer access - at any time.
Temporarily disconnecting from the internet will not work.

The address generation should be done on a PC that has never and will never connect to the internet.
In fact, once you have created your address, format and re-format a couple of more times.
(and even then, data can still be recovered)

Well believing in crypto is the most important conditions.

So let us all believe we ll be rich.
yeeaaah now I have believed in crypto and this will make me rich.

If bitcoin becomes a religion, then it will be tax free, right? At least in the states Wink

How can it become a religion?
1487  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Fun game to earn Bitcoin. on: May 29, 2015, 10:10:58 AM
I have started playing a new game and it seems like you can get good amounts of Satoshi from it. I have added my referral to the game here but at level 6 I can make a good amount of Satochi.  https://farmsatoshi.com

Is there any other game that can give Satochi like this one?

Sure. It's called sig campaigns.

The point of the game is that you sign up to a signature campaign and post relevant comments (to the thread you are posting) on the forums here.
Much like what almost everyone did on your thread here (me included) Wink

Then at the end of the month or week, depending on the number of your posts and member status, you get a nice amount of coins send to your address.

Oh, look everyone, his boyfriend came to the rescue.....
Or is it your other account?

At least this one quoted me right.

So tell us "boyfriend" what does this mean?:
"I wouldn't rule that out, but I wouldn't put my hand on fire."

Let me save you the trouble of having to ask someone with a bit of brains....

It means that I don't really think so but I wouldn't say he is not for sure.

Now, thank you for taking the time to google Dorian and come here and post.
But your post was completely unnecessary.
And you shouldn't have used your other account to "back you up".


You just posted something that is silly and stupid and I commented on it and I'm sure many others will agree. Are others not allowed to comment now? Using petty insults doesn't do you any favors either and just distracts from the topic at hand which you are clearly trying to do. 'Put my hand on fire' doesn't make any sense either. Regardless, Dorian isn't satoshi so you can continue with the childishness of saying things like 'boyfriend' which are completely irrelevant and unnecessary like your entire post was because it doesn't change anything your previously said.

If there is someone that posts silly things and that is completely off topic is you and your other account.
No, noone else commented because they got what I was saying.
Apparently, it was only you that didn't get it.
And it's not that hard, it's basically that I wouldn't say Yes or No for sure.
What is silly or stupid about that?
Let me guess: It's the fact that you didn't get it.

My entire post was not irrelevant.
On the contrary yours was, in fact, why did you post?
Why do you keep wasting bandwidth when you are wrong and keep calling me things because you cannot comprehend what I have said?

Now please, either add to the topic - which is who is Satoshi - or go wash the dishes.

Thank you
Have a nice day.
1490  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto? on: May 28, 2015, 12:36:22 PM
I voted for Dorian.
He is the only one in that list that likes privacy and "kept away" from anything called digital currency.

All the rest had something to do with some kind of digital currency and they weren't discreet about it.
So I have no reason to believe it was any of them.

He likes privacy so much that he releases bitcoin under his own name? Makes perfect sense /sarcasm. If there's one person that the creator of bitcoin isn't it's Dorian.


Don't you just love it when some idiots just rush to make their bullshit comment about someone's post, yet only quote what they need to make their bullshit comment? /sarcasm  Wink
Apart from that, he changed his name to Dorian and that is what he has been using for more than 30 years.

What you have (intentionally) left out:

Quote
Now, do I think it's truly Dorian?
I wouldn't rule that out, but I wouldn't put my hand on fire.

I think the only idiot here is the person who thinks Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto is the guy who created bitcoin. If you think he is Satoshi then you're as foolish as the idiot who wrote the entirely speculative original article on him based on nothing but assumptions and circumstance and is getting sued for it. What good would be changing your name when you don't actual change it from having Satoshi Nakamoto in it? If you wanted to remain anon or sever all ties to yourself you wouldn't use any names previously associated with yourself and the real Satoshi wouldn't be stupid enough to do that.

More like they will be able to control everyones finances.
Which is what they are after.
1496  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fed assholes on: May 21, 2015, 07:38:56 AM
This asshole Lawsky laid a very complex minefield of bullshit http://www.coindesk.com/lawsky-consult-digital-currency-nydfs regulations.  Now, he wants to quit his fed job and have you hire him so he can take tons of money from your company to navigate through the mines he laid!!   Please don't hire this guy.  Talk about abuse of a government job.  



Even though I understand why you are upset, I will explain this to you from a businessman's point of view.

I have a business that is involved in crypto.
There are rules I have to follow and holes I can go through.
Who do I hire to walk me through?

The guy that made it all  Wink


Keep in mind: Everything is all about business.
Making money and establishing a high position.
That includes religions as well.
Lawsky creates all these crazy laws with the idea he can have a job later.  The result: Xapo, Antonopolis, others all leave the US.  Lawsky is an asshole for putting such a huge burden on bitcoin community, so he can have a job, at the expense of the community leaving New York.  For every dollar Lawsky made for himself, he cost the community $10,000.  Now, your explanation tells why Lawsky did it.  I know why he did it - 'its just business'.  
When a theif steals a $1000 car stereo and sells it for $100, he does 10:1 damage:gain.  How much damage did Lawsky actually do in order that he have a sweet consulting lawfirm job after leaving government?  100:1?; 1000:1; 10000:1 - at some point you've got to complain.  'Its just business' isn't a sufficient explanation.  

I heard about Xapo but I didn't know Antonopoulos left the U.S.
Any idea of where he relocated?

I would venture to guess it will be sooner than that.  I am sure every online retailer won't in five years but the ones that don't won't be around another five years.  Cheesy

You never know.
It is cheaper, faster and easier to set-up accepting Bitcoin payments other than anything else.
1498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use some BTC for good- Support new social enterprise project on: May 18, 2015, 08:55:36 AM

Hey,

Thanks for the post. You raise some valid points but I think you have totally misunderstood the concept. The money being raised on indiegogo is not for the ex-offenders themselves. The money being raised initially is to set up a crowdfunding site that will give ex-offenders a platform to raise money for all sorts of different charity projects. They will receive no personal financial gain whatsoever.

The idea is that by being involved in these sort of projects they will feel a sense of personal satisfaction which in turn will reduce the chances of them re-offending.

The idea is most definitely not to line their pockets, but instead for them to work selflessly for the good of others. And the only reason the crypto-currency will be converted into GBP is so that indiegogo gets to take their fee and does not remove the project for accepting crypto donations. Please check out the link for more details- http://igg.me/at/free4change

I hope I helped clear things up a bit...

OK, so if I understand correctly, you will provide work in the form of community service to the ex-offenders. ??
If I get it right then it's not bad.
Will they volunteer for it or is it going to be an actual job for them?
1499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use some BTC for good- Support new social enterprise project on: May 18, 2015, 07:31:23 AM
Half of of this text is simply outrageous.

Why?
Do I not bring up valid questions?

Bitcoin is a nondiscriminatory cryptocurrency, you simply can't select who deserves to use it and who doesn't.

Never said they don't deserve it, I just said that they need to work for it.
Giving money to "ex-offenders" is not giving them a second chance.

In any case, bitcoin can't be compared to fiat because it brings transparency and stability into the table.

I am glad we agree.

Yes, it's used by criminals, but isn't everything else?

No, only things of value.


Unless you're suggesting fiat has a better track-record than Bitcoin, then I really don't understand your point.

That is exactly what I have tried to point out.
The OP wants us to donate Crypto for them to convert to fiat.

But if you still don't understand my point, it's OK, go back and re-read my posts a few times.
You might get my point.
 
1500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use some BTC for good- Support new social enterprise project on: May 18, 2015, 06:23:51 AM
Hmm, I like the idea but I am a bit skeptical...
Is there some kind of criteria for offenders in order to "reform" them?
Or any offender can just join in?

That is an excellent question.

The OP wants to raise money to help "reform" offenders a.k.a. criminals with the use of crypto.

Though it might sound like a good idea to some, I find it horrible and bad publicity for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has enough connections with crime as it is.

You want to help the world and use crypto to do it then feed the hungry.
Give shelter to the homeless.

Not money to criminals.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I am not saying they don't deserve a second chance, and that IS NOT what you are offering them.
If they want a second chance they have to work for it, and that literally means work for it.
And I am not saying that all offenders are the same.
But I think you get my point.

Also, why convert crypto to GBP?
Why not keep it in crypto so that all transactions are transparent?
