I don't know if social media campaigns/advertisements pay decently and not also sure whether they pay decently or not. Have you tried looking for such in the services section? There are a lot of campaigns in there that you might be interested in participating. Also, this is the inappropriate board for this query. Better move this to the services section instead.

I don't know if anyone else aside from me do this method, but I find it really easy and helpful: I send my coins to an exchange and withdraw it to an another address. The coins are very hard to be linked to a single address or trace as to where the coins go because apparently, the coins most of the time stay in that address even though you withdraw your funds into an another address.

This is the third time a see a similar thread like this in a span of a day. Well, this kind of advertising spam happens every now and then, and I think it is just a way of the advertisers to promote their service in a shitty manner. It clogs the blockchain, adds worrying to the users thinking that they're being watched, and annoys the users.

Ooh another "victim" of advertising spam on the blockchain. Well it isn't a mysterious payment; it's just another attempt on advertising a service and getting you to visit the site that may or may not harm your computer. Whatever happens, don't click the link. Also, don't worry about the 0.0001.

Yup. Idk what is the point of that, but to me it seems that they are just helping to clog the blockchain by sending small amount of bitcoins to random addresses. That isn't a good thing to advertise imo. There are many other options for advertising, not by just spamming the blockchain.

A case like this wouldn't happen if there aren't people in the authority who helped this thing done. Well, that's fcked up if people would lend some people money without asking their personal information and such. Something fishy happened here.

Also, wrong board. Kindly move to Politics and Society.

Glad to be of help. I have experienced the same on another wallet and tried to reset and re-sync the blockchain and the transactions appeared, so I think that it would also work on other wallets with the same problem, too.

Well I have created several paper wallets and I haven't downloaded any code from any website to produce one, instead, I directly print it once the necessary things are done. You need to run bitaddress.org offline so as to minimize the risk of having a compromised paper wallet in terms of security. Also, once you made the wallet, be sure to keep it safe. You don't want to have a wallet that's useless after all those safety precautions and cautious procedures, do you?

It is a lite wallet so it is not a hassle in case you re-sync it with the network because it doesn't need to download all the data from the genesis block. Try resetting the blockchain and sync it to see whether the transactions get through or not. If that doesn't work, we'll try to help out as soon as you fix your problem. Post feedback here after doing the above.

Which wallet are you using? Just like what others instructed, try resetting the blockchain or anything similar (that is what i see in my wallet) and re-sync it with the network. I've experienced that same issue on my Android wallet (the one made by Andreas Schildbach) and reset the blockchain and synced it again, then the transactions went through.

Is your wallet synced with the network up to this minute? This could be some synchronization problem because if it is shown in the blockchain, the transaction is valid, and therefore happened.

What exactly are we talking here? Sometimes, bitcoin transactions can be traced via the tx id if it is not yet detected by the network. If the transactions didn't appear in the blockchain, two things might've happened: 1. the transaction didn't happen and; 2. an error occurred in the transaction eg. you sent to the wrong address.

Just by looking at the picture, I'm already confused as to what belongs to who even though there are pointers. Also, why would bitcoin share its ledger to the banks when in the first place it is conceptualize that we are going against the current financial system? By sharing the public ledger, bitcoin is also sharing what's unique to its concept and structure: transparency, which the banks don't offer afaik.

We all know that Chinese aren't that far behind in terms of technology. In fact, theirs are advancing at a fast rate. Even though they hold the sufficient technology to crack or generate the same private keys to Satoshi's addresses, it still is a resource-consuming and time-consuming effort to recover those coins. SHA-256 is secure enough to be cracked by our technology for the next couple of centuries, and I doubt that even with the world's most advanced computers today, the algorithm would be cracked within a short span of time.

Being the inventor of an innovation that is conceptualized to be against the current financial system and given the power he/she has over bitcoin, personally I would be more than careful for my safety because apparently, many people would like to know who am I and where do I live etc. that may be harmful for my personal safety and for my family as well. Satoshi Nakamoto did a great feat on staying anonymous, though some articles say that his/her IP address have somewhat been traced, but that doesn't mean that he/she is known already. Also, reading the progression of this thread, it seems that you're only pointing that Satoshi is VERY, VERY LIKELY DEAD, which already looks like spam to me. Tell me, what made you think that he/she is indeed dead that you keep on insisting that he/she already is?

We do not need those, but seriously, in the current times, fiat is still the most widely-used currency in any parts of the world. There are establishments and businesses that do accept bitcoin as a form of payment, but how many are they in actuality? Also, the world isn't ready for using bitcoins as bitcoins, given the fact that it is not yet widely-used and is used mainly for speculation. People wouldn't want their money to be fluctuating in value every now and then, they want stability. Bitcoin doesn't have that, price-wise because it still is tied with fiat.

It depends on the service platform that you're using and what country are you in. Have you tried searching for an offer in localbitcoins? That could help you, too. Usually it would only take a couple of hours for you to get your bitcoins.

Who knows what really happened? If he/she died, how are we to know? Also, how can we differ a normal address from Satoshi's? An address with some early transactions could be a possibility, but the fact remains that he/she could not be alone in mining during those times. He/she could've had his/her friends know about bitcoin back in the days and those people could've mined some coins out of curiosity or help for their friend. There are A LOT of possibilities and probabilities as to what really happened to Satoshi. The only way we can be sure of who he/she is is that someone would stand in the hot seat, prove that he/she is in fact the genius behind bitcoin then problem solved (well it isn't really a problem in the first place).

Nah, the spike didn't happen in Dec. 2013, but on November 2013 (29th of November 2013 to be exact)

The ath could probably caused massive interest from the general public, probably due to the amount of bitcoin per US Dollar. Also, the different news about bitcoin probably raised awareness from the masses, too.

Idk if this is the right board for this kind of thing, but even though you found someone who is willing to help you in this case, it is highly probable for you to get your coins back. Addresses and tx id won't help you identify a person.
