All the news and rumours are just trying get everyone confused. This site is undoubtedly a scam. Early "investors might have got their ROI but the rest would have lost all their bitcoins.

There will be more and more this kind of scams coming out so beware!

I guess most people have not seen the movie yet. Maybe the producer can advertise more and allow online watch at the price (in bitcoin of course!). However, I think it will be great to have it free for everyone- many more people will get to know about bitcoin and understand it better!

The coming reward halving is a historical moment, so I am thinking of sending some bitcoin to a charity organization and have the transaction recorded in the very first block after or very last block before the reward halving happens...

What is the recommended fee for my transaction, so as to increase the priority and have a higher chance of achieving that?

Crisis!!! Oh well, he can do what he wants but he is just wasting his time. Good luck for finding one collision.

These are so-called knee jerk reactions. Two more years to Brexit so things do not change overnight. However, we now have another factor supporting the growth for the coming days...

This is my dream one day! Unfortunately I still need to pay for my bread and my kids school fees in fiat. They are in government-sponsored school so the government is not too keen in receiving bitcoin yet.

I do have some programming skill, however, I have a full time job and I am not located in Hong Kong. May I still apply? Any information regarding the nature of the software/platform you are trying to develop? Bitcoin related or other alt-coin?

Look like bitcoin is still the fore-runner in the blockchain technology. With such a strong team backing bitcoin, we are in good shape to face the challenges from mainstream adoption. I will update my Bitcoin-qt core tonight!

I hope Circle can survive the tough regulatory environment in China. By expanding into China, things will get a lot more complex, for example the transferred of funds in/out will be tightly monitored. AWL rules/regulation will be different and culture is another killer....

Although there are two more years to go, things are really different now. Imagine after telling your boss you are leaving your job in 1 month, the way your boss treat you will be very different in the last 1 month...

I suggest you may seek help from the local government hospital first. Usually it is much cheaper and you can make payment later on. No need to sell the coin in such a hurry. Good luck and have a speedy recovery.

My advice is to abandon the idea of going into mining, unless you know what you are doing. Bitcoin trading is already exciting enough. It is extremely difficult to compete with the Chinese for the block reward and the reward is going to half in no time. Think thrice!

Although these are not micro-micro transaction, they are still very small. I think someone is trying to flood the mempool. Did a google search on the address and found a hint that it might be related to a scam site call BitcoinDubler....

I did play with Monero for a while and don't find it any useful. No one accepts it and there is no strong network effect like bitcoin or litecoin. We know there is no strong team to support its development. Totally agree that most alt-coins, like Monero, are distractions.

I used to run a Classic node to support the network. However, as I need to travel a bit due to work, I usually turn off my computer when I was away. After sometime, I feel like my contribution is low- most of the time spent just to catch up with the current block.

 

Usually, fee of 100 bits should be sufficient for most transactions. However, when your transaction consists of many of inputs, the fee needed will be higher.

I use Coinbase a lot for transactions so most of the time the fee is absorbed by Coinbase- which is really useful especially when I do not have much coins.

I bought some when it was very high like $1000. Then stop buying until it reached about $250... So my average is about $600... I am green now!

I think through the many ups and downs since bitcoin was given a price, many early holders might have sold their coins when they came across the "all-time high", without knowing the higher price in the future. I guess very few of them still holding their coins. So we might just see a few sudden multibillionaires pop up.

However, they will eventually need to spend those coins right? I guess this will help to redistribute those early coins to the late adopters.

Great job! Although I am not a fan of Ethereum, I find the three pictures very outstanding. Do you have more for bitcoin/blockchain?

I think the most common crime related to bitcoin is extortion and ransomware. It is hard to stop these when many of the victims usually willing to pay...
