15841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PoS coins on: March 19, 2015, 01:22:53 PM
PoW+PoS or just simple PoS, they all end up being 99% of the time PoS.

The difference is the way the initial coins are spread to the people.
Starting PoW is more fair, some say, especially because pure PoS means that you have to pay for the coins and the devs just cash in.


The future of crypto? I don't agree with that, but it may be related to the fact PoW is expensive as equipment and power, while for PoS you need only your money (and a working wallet).


Hype? Well, some coins do heavy advertising, some don't.. you have to think long term, based on a lot of things (features, devs, community, ...)

Try opening 10+ tabs at once ("open all" in your browser), and Solve Media is instantly impossible for at least an hour...

If you know what's the problem, it's easy to find a solution: open less tabs at once.
I never had more than 3 faucets opened in the same time and I never had such bad surprises.

wanna hear something funny? of course you do. i dont actually know how much monero i own. i dont remember how much it was, and i don't have enough ram on my computer to run the client and see, and i cant just look up the address on the explorer. Cheesy ha! I do know that its less than i wish i had.

Nice one!
I also start the daemon very rarely - each 10-20 days - but at least I wrote down the amounts on a text file.


I wish to see on mymonero a feature like: login with only address and viewkey, to only see what's new in the wallet.
15846  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin volume on: March 19, 2015, 08:34:24 AM
Bitcoin is more stable and the result is that more people and businesses start (again) to work with it.

Bots are also a cause, but I think that the volumes faked by bots are not that big.

I'm curious if it is possible to trace the volume produced by bots in principle. I mean you will not see them on the blockchain, only as part of exchange trading volume, but then you could expect the trading volume to be forged as well. The bitcoin blockchain seems to me the only reliable way of estimating bitcoin volume and its supposed increase within the last few weeks...

Some bots are not very smart. I've seen on an altcoin exchange something that could help:
Although there are normal sell and buy orders, from time to time transactions are made without touching the existing orders.
For example a Buy order is made at a bigger price than the biggest current buy order and in the same (milli)second the order is also filled.

It might very well be a human mistake. I never checked it myself, but are such orders filled at the current market price or at the price of the order on cryptocoin exchanges? The "real" exchanges out there automatically correct such errors and execute the buy order (for example) at the market ask price at the moment...


I watched this for about 8-10 hours. They may be badly programmed bots made by somebody else, not the exchange. But it was obviously bots.
2-3 times during those hours real transactions were done.
And when there was a big price movement on all other markets, here also real traders started buying/selling.

It may be good or may be bad for this business in here, but I've read that MS plans to offer legit free upgrade to Win 10 to all win7+ users, whether the key is legit or pirated.
Maybe some of the "readers" here will find this interesting.
15848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Regulation The End For Bitcoin? on: March 18, 2015, 06:40:15 PM
Bitcoin will be regulated - more or less. But it will have almost no effect.

1. The regulation will come late, way after bitcoin will become mainstream.
2. The regulation will be "soft" and maybe only in some countries - see http. (for example child porn is not allowed, which is good. In some countries some sites are blocked, which is bad. But overall most ppl don't feel like http is regulated)
3. There will always be "alternative ways", so the regulation will not worth much for the ones that know a little tech.
15849  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price theory - Government pump and dump on: March 18, 2015, 06:14:23 PM
US Marshals Service pump and dump:

  • Announce bitcoin auction
  • Pump bitcoin
  • Sell overpriced coins to unaware bidders
  • Dump bitcoin
  • Make money $$$

You don't seem to have paid attention to the price around the auctions. The trend was rather the opposite of what you wrote.
15850  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust yourself to manage your own private keys? on: March 18, 2015, 03:38:50 PM
Right now I keep the keys. It's the only safe way right now.

If ever this area will get regulated and insured, I may switch to 3rd party, because my wife and children don't have to be tech oriented to get the benefit.
Right now, if something happens to my brain, the coins will be lost.

Payment received, thanks.


But the problem related to last week's payment is still not fixed/cleared up....


Edit: the old problem was also corrected, thank you.
15852  Economy / Services / Re: A small survey for 0.005 BTC on: March 18, 2015, 09:36:02 AM
I have not received any payment. I entered a GMAL ID and my bitcoin address. Did anyone else get paid?

Not yet, it seems.
Some fear it's a scam. I am getting curious of the outcome of this.
15853  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: International bitcoin survey launched - 1btc split 16 ways up for grabs on: March 17, 2015, 05:28:35 PM
Longer than expected, but not bad.
The last page was odd, because, for some reason, I still had the hardware buying questions, though I stated I don't mine. Is it a bug?
15854  Economy / Services / Re: A small survey for 0.005 BTC on: March 17, 2015, 03:58:45 PM
I filled that a good number of hours ago, just I forgot to write here that I did that.
The mail addy and everything .. you should find it in the form I filled.
15855  Economy / Services / Re: [Contest] Find me a new name on: March 17, 2015, 12:10:54 PM
From what I see, you just want a crypto-currency related name.
What came to my mind was PerfectCrypto and my check on godaddy tells that perfectcrypto.com is not taken.
If you like it, my BTC addesses are in my profile.

hi Marco, I asked you on irc last Wednesday to check my payment vs numbers of posts and I guess that you forgot, so .. this is a reminder  Wink


And btw, welcome back!



Edit: the problem was corrected (in 25 March), thank you.
15859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Look at where I am planning to go with BTC :) on: March 13, 2015, 04:11:20 PM
Another cool thing for a bitcoiner can be found at Attaurk airport. On your way home you will have all this Turkish Lira that is useless in other countries. No problem. Find the Bitcoin ATM at the airport and dump your lira for bitcoin! In mins. it's on your phone and ready for the next country.

Yes, that is indeed extremely useful.
I hope that they'll do that in most Turkish airports, or at least Antalya. Hopefully before I get there.
15860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Destroying Altcoins - We Need Exchanges Without Bitcoin on: March 12, 2015, 11:10:27 AM
All the altcoins that can do this, sooner or later can be bought directly with fiat. forced decoupling is rather useless.
And when the time comes and an altcoin is "old enough" to not be tied to bitcoin, then we know it's not an ordinary "shitcoin".


The rest of your post is a fantasy I don't agree with, but you never know. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
