Maybe this thread should be (soon) closed with a redirect to a new thread, which will contain the pre-announcement.
And since the tone of the discussions was not great, maybe the new topic could even be self-moderated.

Bitcoin is not broken. But I hope that you agree that even such a great thing as Bitcoin has room for improvement.

Forking Bitcoin is actually VERY old, Litecoin started that trend quite some time ago. However, nowadays there are forks of forks or forks that bring nothing.
A fork from recent state of Bitcoin and a actually a fork that also brings something new and useful, that's the good news.

Until now it seems it was the year of ETH. I wish I would have known. ETH is not as "clean" as I'd like so I didn't invest at all into it. Stupid me, since it's not the first "not 100% ok" alt with great market.
I think that there will be at least 1-2 more alts that'll take off and I really hope that I'll guess right at least one of them.

But I don't know which will be really the Altcoin of 2016. If I'd know, I'd be already rich and busy enjoying life instead of hanging around on this forum.

Just FYI, the stats have reset for me about 24h ago and the payment didn't come.
I'm not worried, but I thought that's better to be written down.

Very interesting approach! And it's not because of anonymity, which in a way or another some coins provide.
The interesting part is imho that this is based on a (recent) version of Bitcoin.
Maybe some day Bitcoin devs will make themselves an upgrade of Bitcoin to make it anonymous. It gives Bitcoin a good chance to make the first steps into implementing some of the things altcoins proved that's good and needed directly into Bitcoin. It would mean the evolution quite some of us hope for...

But maybe I dream too far...

While I try to read now and then Dash or Monero related threads, most of them are the same attacks between Dash supporters and Monero supporters.
People can't read anything useful because of that.

The only useful info I've read are from TWO posts (I'll only link to them)

Basically for anybody else, you are just a random person telling that you will give out a car. People have to take your word for it.
Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so if you lied, people will just lose their money.
And that's where escrow will come into equation. The escrow will actually hold the money until you deliver the car. And the escrow will have to be a reputed member of the community.

Another problems you have to think about are the logistics. I assume you are from UK. But the people in this forum are from all over the world, you will be unable to deliver the car to any location.

Even the escrow is a problem, since in case the raffle is cancelled, the escrow will have to send back the money to quite a number of people. From my experience in this forum, this will not go for free.
And proving (to the escrow) that the car was delivered is something I also don't know how it can be done. (Remember, taking the word for it is not really a proof)

(Don't despair of my "negativism", I just try to make your life easier and urge you to make your homework in time.)


That can be easily achieved at the end: the winner can give the e-mail info and a signed message proving he owns the bitcoin address what has the winning ticket.

You will need to think on a way to escrow this, else your chances are slim.
And you may have to add some clauses like "the raffle will be hold if at lest NN tickets are sold; and if this doesn't happen until Day D, I will refund all".

It can be done only if you own the coins you want to sell and the price for the coins you want to buy.
I think that I had at some point in the past sell orders and buy orders in the same time, for the same coin, on the same market.

So with some coins to start with and a bot that does the adjustments for you, you should be OK, if the market is stable.

This time I tried Romanian. On Chrome for Windoze. No VPN, no odd settings.
A few weeks ago I tried EN and RO, same result.

It may have taken a little longer than usual to sync, but it synced. Don't forget to add the right node.

All that can be done with them is to be dropped to the market. Since the amount is huge, the price will plummet for a (short?) while.


The wallet cannot be cracked. But the computer that held the private keys may get on wrong hands and the private keys used to.. make a random person rich.


Nicely said

I don't know much more than you, since I only install MalwareBytes rarely and shortly, most of the time I use something else (firewall + on-access-scanning antivirus).
But since this thread was .. intriguing .. I've done some research and I posted what I found out.

I think that the complete name of MalwareBytes is Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software. Their website title is that too.
And from what I've seen, although their main product is free, they do have premium products / premium features too, mostly (but not only) for businesses.

Update: I've got an answer from killakem.


So, let's give killakem some space and trust him, we trusted him until now, nothing should change.

There were a lot of "good reasons" publicized behind stealing the property of the other during history. Whatever good were or not those reasons, I still call it stealing.

I'm sure that plenty of people has various "alarms" that'll "ring" if any coin is moved away from Satoshi's wallets. The ones fearing a dump, will dump. The rest will continue buying, holding or spending their BTC as usual. The price will be affected only for short term. So the price is not a good reason. It's a greedy reason.
Others fear those wallets will be hacked. Hmm.. the consensus was that Bitcoin is safe from hacking.

So, back to the subject. There are no valid reasons to steal (and dispose) somebody else's property. None at all.

I had my adsense account disabled some years ago.
Although I tried, quite a number of years later, to ask them restore my account, they didn't.

Meanwhile I learned to live without them. I found in my country good enough options.
Although Google are the biggest, they are by far not the nicest one around, nor the ones best to work with.

The bad part is that you had quite an amount of money in there...
But you should think of finding a replacement. I hope you'll find a better one.

While your site still doesn't load (at least for me), I guess that I will still not "take part today".
