I concur, 100%.  That's one reason why BTC hasn't taken off as a currency.   But it's still good as something to speculate on,  and as a (very volatile) store of value.   When sig campaign payouts don't confirm,  it's frustrating...but when you get a 120% raise in 3 months it's very cool!
The architecture seemed to have reach a 'deadlock'.For the satisfactory conditions maintained between between the miners and the nodes,core developers should work solution out.They may already have the solution,who knows.At this point,the insane peek in bitcoin prices only makes me insecure about the rising transaction fees.If you read the bitcoin's whitepaper,it does say the system is suppose to implement fast transactions.Well,comes with an extra service fees now.
162  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Localbitcoins Support/Staff Is Scamming Me on: May 11, 2017, 01:26:29 PM
As I said before Someone opened a trade with me and I video recorded the whole thing from the beginning to the time I filed the dispute.
But did you loose any money or coins ?

I provided this video recording of the trade to the support staff and I have since been put on forxed hokiday and threatened to be banned.
Forced holiday ? What does that mean ? Or is it like you're not allowed to trade anymore ?

I would like someone from Localbitcoins staff to reply in this thread. They can give their side of the story.
They have their own forum,why not post the same there instead ?  I doubt they'll reply.

In regards to the feedback system anyone can open your trade and NEG you regardless of anything else. That means new traders like myself are almost guaranteed not to have a good rating just due to idiotts who neg you.
Welcome to the 'decentralized' trust system.
Please post the video for us.

As a linux newbie it would be very incumbent for you to do some basic research before buying a laptop.  Some models just work with linux right out of the box so to speak.  With others, driver acquisition can be tasking for a linux "minnow".
Or he can just buy a laptop which comes pre-installed with one of the Linux Distros ?A lot of new laptops have that option,also it saves on the operating system costs spent on Windows.Learning linux can be get cumbersome ,not if they take a crash course on of the free websites.

i think that is the reason why there a lot of failed login attempt, they are targeting bitcoin sites as they have a username&password list that come from hacked bitcointalk database.
The list doesn't have the password. They've the encrypted hash.Remember : The password stored in the databases is never plain text,it's hashed so you can never retrieve it back in the original form.Definitely also depends on the type of encryption used.If you try to decode from the encrypted hash using one of the online tools,only common password like "password","123456789" can be retrieved back.That's why it's always safe to use a complicated password.

I've made some good money there lending just wondering if anyone has used their platform
You made good money lending from a website no-one has heard before when it comes to bitcoin lending ? You talk like you're promoting it on purpose.Never tried the site out,because it is a fact ,lending can't be lucrative when the audience is only approved off their identity verification.
If at all you did,help us by explaining your strategy.

still have 5 promo codes
Does the course provides an official certification ? You said the original course costs $19 a month and you can provide it for $10 using your promo code.Is this a one time payment or do I have to pay $10 every month ? Can we selectively choose a course ? I'm interested in Devops + AWS.

It's great to see another idea for bitcoin vanity address, but i would rather buy good GPU and use it to create vanity address than spend my bitcoin on your website considering the expensive price, also i can use the GPU for altcoin mining as well which is more profitable in long term.
Irrelevant.The point is,on what grounds would you save your coins on an address which is provided by a stranger ?Who knows if he saves your private keys too.

Furthermore, i think most people wouldn't risk using bitcoin vanity address created by 3rd party.
You get the point.Unless the code is on GH,it's pretty hard to believe.

Hey guys, I created an app that lets you trade bitcoin using fake "money". It's great for testing out trading strategies or trying out trading without taking any real financial risk. The url above (remove the a) should lead you to the app where you can sign up and try it out.
Signing up with an email address on a unknown website arises other security risks.Why don't you make a demo section where users can check out your app without having to sin-up ?Took around nice 20 seconds for the webpage to open.Try reducing the server load time or use a less animated loader.

Lots of people could have an incentive to flood the mempool for many reasons. Personally I believe it's Core supporters trying to FUD people into adopting Segwart.
Excuse me if I'm missing something but how does flooding the mempool benefits anybody ?How would dust transactions give incentives ? This doesn't seem like it has a technical point of view,humans are a complicated race.
171  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: AddrStore.com: Unique service for getting Bitcoin vanity addresses on: May 10, 2017, 05:48:44 PM
Do you mind elaborating how this works ? We search for a specific address,you say it's available for particular amount and the difficulty that comes with it,what after that ? How does one makes sure the private keys are generated on  the client side and not stored on the server ?

Oh well.. I already messaged him, are u 100% sure i get refunded if the money goes through after the 24 hours??
Also i want you to note that i had completly no idea what this bitcoin miner fee was, so obviously i keep it automaticaly set to whatever it was, But i will differently know from now on to put it a bit higher Smiley
This website might come handy while deciding the bitcoin fees : https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
The coins get dropped off the mempool,yes they'll fall back into your wallet.As others suggested,try that transaction accelerating tool.

No,when you manage a campaign for a particular company,you indirectly represent the company.Even if they're unable to help you,they would certainly tell you what to do.

I've also been getting some notifications of people trying to access my account on Crypto-games via the password recovery...
Just changed my passwords to be sure and will enable 2FA.

This is also one of my problems even in different sites and accounts, I always receive from my support email that my account has been log-in from another browser which has different IP as I am using right now.

I'm just wondering how could it happen since I'm using 2FA when its possible, maybe its just a bug or just my support email just have a problem.

Without 2FA it is impossible to enter account. Mail notifications is another lay of security if you dont welcome "unknown guests". Just my two cent: Till next time change mail password and dont use same password for other accounts.
2FA becomes helpless if your email id is hacked and that's what the hackers are doing these days with phishing links.I'd not even consider email authenticate as a safe 2fa measure.Phone Verification gives an extra protective layer,something off the internet and resistant to all possible attacks.
174  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Windows or Linux for Wallet Software? on: May 10, 2017, 07:37:12 AM
I am about to buy a fancy laptop primarily for the purpose of doing all my cryptocurrency stuff (but not mining).
You don't need a fancy laptop just for the sake of bitcoining.However,it is always a good a futuristic thinking process.It is not a bad investment after-all.

Can anybody help me decide between Windows and Linux?  My main question is do wallets/nodes tend to be developed on Linux first or Windows first?  I want to know which platform Bitcoin clients, but also other cryptocurrency clients/wallets in general tend to get developed on first.
Well,it's a subjective question.Personally,all that 'geeky' stuff is always deployed on Linux machines because most of the dev groups reply on it and they're a bit more secure.Most of the wallets always have windows/Linux installations available.If a command line and a terminal really turns you on,go with Ubuntu.

I am not an expert with command line (although I can use Linux in a basic way), so I refer mainly to GUI type wallets.  I am interested in software for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Factom, Synereo, Dash, Maidsafe, Storj, NEM, Sia and Lisk.  So Windows or Linux for these?
My previous question should answer that. Stick to Windows.
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of many reasons why I love bitcoin on: May 10, 2017, 07:18:16 AM
this is one of the many transactions that I received, this was from some small exchange that I was trading there for fun and to learn more about how to use API in my bot and I cashed out all my balance worth $7.48.

and this is my cold storage, which has been taking deposits ever since 2014 Cool:
Thanks for making us realize how terrible we were at taking risks.My father always gave me negative advises whenever I suggested investing in bitcoins during 2015-2016.He always denied it.to which I regret till date.Every time the price goes up I frown at him for not letting me take that step which could have changed my life.
176  Economy / Economics / Re: Nobody Can Have Benefit From a Big Pump on: May 10, 2017, 06:42:54 AM
At first, there were some problems "on the blockchain", now we have some staff working on these nonexistent issues to resolve them. What staff are you talking about? Apart from that, stuck transactions and slow confirmation times have more to do with Bitcoin miners deliberately refusing to confirm transactions (in an effort to scrounge higher fees). Obviously, this has nothing to do with exchanges allegedly withholding withdrawals in times of above average price volatility
That's non-sense.Don't have an idea how that is relevant to the topic.You want miners to use their resources for free ? The least they could do is cover up their electricity costs.

Are you joking? Stuck transactions are due to the blocksize limit, FFS. Miners aren't scrounging fees, they're unable to keep up with the volume because they can only process 1MB every block interval.
Did I quote it all wrong or you're just being a hypocrite ?

I'd rather say that it is you who are misinformed. Miners are doing what any other monopoly out there does, i.e. trying to squeeze as much profit as possible from their clients. In this case, it means exactly that, i.e. going for higher fees in any possible way since mining rewards are fixed and cannot be changed without destroying Bitcoin. It has been discussed many times already, some miners are not filling up blocks to the hilt, some are leaving them deliberately empty, with only one generating transaction (e.g. AntPool). Wtf, they may be spamming the network themselves. And what's ironic, it is exactly them who are declining solutions that would solve this issue. Now ask if there is a single reason not to call them rogue?
Again,do you have a better solution which would be profitable on both the ends ? Whining doesn't do good to anybody.
177  Economy / Gambling / Re: BETSOFT GAMES PROVEN RIGGED! on: May 09, 2017, 12:44:21 PM
Don't know why these casinos won't pull betsoft games. Here is a youtube video of a betsoft game being proven rigged!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhalYzlNCh8

The video is 6 years old, I am sure they would have fixed those kind of things by now .But if anyone is playing on a non-provably fair casino, then it can be assumed it is rigged. Never been a fan of betsoft myself, but proving or not proving that they are rigged does not change anyone's decision of not playing there. They should be avoided. period.

Yes, need play with provably fair system and trusted casino.
If casino dont use provably fair they can change result of bet..
You can never be sure if the casino is actually provably fair.A lot happens under the hood,software programmers are smart enough to hide the real deal within the sea of code.Records prove,even verified provable fair bets those were seen as of the screen were still manipulated.And the golden rule,house always wins.

Well, it is fair to be skeptical about all that. I agree casinos can pull different tricks to scam the users. So each individual should be responsible about researching properly and making sure he isn't fooled. If you are worried about this, then physical casinos are where you should be heading.
Research ? I've come across bitcoin casino related blogs which mainly promote only scam sites hidden inside a mystery box of free bets.Not every gambler is aware of the consequences they'll be dealing with unless they're a target themselves.Most of the time such warnings are ignored.I don't really wanet to get there but who said physical casinos are 100% fair ? Not true.

The only thing you will need is to learn how to utilise the time.
Perfect.

If you are complete beginner even, in that case, it would take hardly a week to earn $100 using the tools like affiliate marketing, offering skills etc. A layman would take maximum 1 month to earn $100 and I believe you can earn that amount with less time. Just utilise your time in a proper way and learn and offer skills to others and charge them for that service.
A layman would never understand what affiliate marketing is.You're really wrong if you think affiliate marketing is easy.He'll talk a month or more to learn the business.Also not every tom,dick  in the town are accepted for cpa offers.

its possible by playing faucet, rank up your bitcointalk acc then join signature campaign, participate any giveaway, trading and gambling with free bet
He cannot rank up his bitcointalk account in two months...
