Do you really think that btc will be thousand dollar again in 2015 ? Or on which crypto , you rely on ? or on which crypto, you have some dreams ?

It will. Myabe not in the next 2-3 years, but it will.
Why? Because mining is too expensive and at some point the miners will just hold until the price rises and stays stable at a number where mining is still profitable.
Miners have quite a monopoly on the price and, sooner or later they will understand that and will act accordingly.

I'm surprised by how many threads people think need to be dedicated to the exact same discussion (or to just promoting Monero).  Roll Eyes

Actually all the threads related to anonymity seem to end up as a war between DRK marketing and XMR marketing.
So please don't talk only about "promoting monero", because only in this thread already 2 posts are anti-monero or plainly pro-DRK. It seems that DRK marketing team is.. bigger.

15904  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, ...)

Thanks for having this idea.

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.
15909  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.
15911  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.
15912  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.
15913  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.
15914  Economy / Services / Re: [BIT-X.com] Earn Bitcoins by Posting | Signature Campaign on: March 18, 2015, 03:25:45 PM
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.
15915  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.
15916  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?
15917  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.
15918  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.
