Bitcoin is rather easy to track. Silk Road business was a cold shower for the ones thinking otherwise.


Sorry, but most people don't read all-caps texts because such texts are just retarded.
So if you want to actually say something and want it to be read, try to grow up, think before you write and, obviously, use normal text.

The advertising looks good. I am curious if the specs will be as good.

But with such advertising I am afraid that'll end up with a silly ICO/IPO and that's all. I sooo hope I'm wrong...

It all depends on how much time you give into it and what your expectations are. Then you can quantify the "a lot" part.
I don't write that much, it depends a lot on how much spare time I have.
That's why I love my current campaign, I am not stressed to write (or else get kicked out), I write what/how I can.
So it's just a nice to have extra income, not something to rely on.

And I actually believe that the problems of signature campaigns start when people write too much, only for the purpose to earn "a lot".

Maybe it was too small for your liking, but I still miss www.btcxchange.ro ...

If they'll do it, this will mean a ton of tiny transactions, but which will increase the blockchain a lot.
I am not sure if it's a good news. In a year after that's gone live, the common user will not have space to hold the blockchain => no more true decentralization.

Maybe it's a silly question, but did you try with caps lock on/off, or with num. lock on/off?
If you use to use various "national" keyboard types, also trying to switch between them could help (afaik EN/DE/FR have some differences).

Usually a new wallet software should not overwrite your wallet and I hope it's not the case (there's a good chance to lose everything, next time make sure you backup first).
Usually new wallet software should make non-encrypted wallet, so, again, it may not be overwritten...

Good luck!

You know that most of those "few satoshi" will end up at 21 Inc because they were never claimed or because they are under the minimum "dust" amount.
And the totals may be quite big.

I think that the article is far too short and takes into account much too few information. It started very good, then.. ended

Ripple and Litecoin are not worthy to be compared with Bitcoin, but yeah, they have big market cap.
But yeah, they were most convenient to be compared with Bitcoin.

We all know already that there are coins and shitcoins, so maybe this comparison will enlighten some people to look a little more deeply than just current "value" (market cap) to see it it worth investing into a coin.
For the "regulars" in here the article is .. no information, I dare to say.

Basically for any transaction you do you have an extra parameter: the mixin.
Bigger you set that parameter, more anonymous the transaction will actually be.
Actually most people started asking and using mixin at least 3 for privacy reasons.
But yeah, go on, read

I don't have that much BTC to actually matter.
But for privacy I use Monero. I actually hold more Monero than BTC right now. And instead of using mixers I would use in-built mix-in of Monero. At least I have control over my own money.

Maybe this sounds more like a commercial, sorry, it's not intended.

Account done, screenshot done, payment received.
Thanks!

Edit: Got even more than 10k. Generous

Hopefully until then I'll have enough BTC to buy a house. And yeah, I'll spend...though where 5000$ was reached, 50k$ is not that far.

If temp e-mail is OK, I will do it.
(10k sat is too small for my main e-mail address, you know...)

And I am not Italian.

If you are OK with this, you can count me in.

Indeed, there are many ways that mining in household appliances is not that much energy stealing.
Indeed, the toaster is a rather poor example.
But the problem is that the only real way that these .. miners earn something is to mine in pools. And that's the best way 21 will also get its share.
Just then you can say bye-bye to decentralization.

You can mix by hand safely. Convert to Monero, send to another address with mixin 3 or more. Then you can (another account/s, IP/s) convert back and it's done.

As I said here, this has a huge chance to actually bring even more centralization.
Do you really think that your toaster will have an ASIC powerful enough to ever find a block?

I hope so.
Still, I am a rather pessimistic person, so I think that the worse still can come.

I never said that PoS is the best option (actually, I agree it's one of the worse ones), but it's an option.
However, it doesn't matter as long as Bitcoin has fork-o-phobia.

The price seems to drop whether we keep the current over-expensive mining or not. The meaning of the coins doesn't (or should not) come from how expensive the mining gear is.
The price was rising when people were hiding the money into Bitcoin (also with help from Gox bot). Since then people realized that Bitcoin can be traced and wallet can be somehow linked to person. What if they'll go for Monero, eh?

The 20Mb fork may have some meaning. Also having per kb fee is a reasonable option. However, the history shows that bitcoin is extremely reticent to forks.

Maybe someday Bitcoin will drop the fear of the forking, maybe it will take a look what the "shitcoins" can innovate and learn from them. Being the first may not be such an advantage after 5 more years, and just debating and over-debating is not too helpful.

Hmmm... I fear that this will make mining even more centralized.
In order that "your toaster" actually give you anything, it will have to be connected to a pool, else it will have too small chance to return even the 25%.
Also I fear that they may get hardcoded to a couple of 21 Inc owned pools, which will just simply have 75% pool fee...

The idea is interesting, but there are (far) too many things they can do wrong. (Electricity price/theft included).
Let's see what happens next...
