I would like to post again, but still not received payment.

I want too to post again. But the OP is not live. It is disappeared from the forum. No signs from it since four days. It will be a scammer or had to do other things and have no time to see and to post here. Anyhow him, if serious, must control here. It is his thread and he had made promises.

At the moment its sideways, but it can go up in the future.

I really hope the blocksize will be raised soon, and then start rolling out the promo...

You haven' heard that the problem of blocksize is "resolved" already (if I am not wrong). There it will be bitcoin XT and there it will be the normal bitcoin. That's the solution.
1603  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use cases. What do you actually use Bitcoin for? on: October 08, 2015, 02:54:22 PM
So far I've played poker and dice, purchased coffee and an antminer but, mostly I've traded it for dirty fiat currency from the local Bitcoin ATM. With increased adoption and hopefully more money in my pocket I'll be using it to buy stuff (other than more miners) online in the future.

For online purchases it beats credit cards hands down, the merchant gets his money instantly (almost) and for the buyer it's just point and click at the screen with your cell phone and you're done. This is the future of money.

I think that you do wrong using the bitcoin for buying with it everyday things. I should not tell this because the use of bitcoin will help the spread of it more fast (and this is the best service that someone can do for it), but I think that its value it is much more than buying everyday stuffs. Anyhow you continue in this way but using less bitcoin (if something which I write will have some importance for you). In which you do your "mission" about it and preserve your wealth for the future.
1604  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you agree people barrow money for gambling? on: October 08, 2015, 02:43:30 PM
It is sad to hear that due to craving to gamble, thinking that luck may go their way, gamblers are asking for loans while in fact it is already a signal that one should stop and work on other things. Asking loan for gambling is not a good idea.

Agreed with you, i think people who borrows the money for the purpose of gambling are in fake hope that they will be manage to recover the money they loose previously and it is sad they are always wrong. There are very less chances to get back your lost money and they put their self into big financial crises which destroy their personal life.

That's true e very correct. People not only should not gamble but even give money to someone which want to use those for gambling. His money are lost with 99% probability. For the same reason that have the gambler who want the money: because has lost his money. It is the same situation like it was the borrower himself which will gamble.

Hold on to your hats bitcoins success will be sooner than u think

That's mean that we must do more to spread more it (even this amount will need about 110 years to be mined) and that the price will go high (even this amount of bitcoin will be mined in so mush time). See here for more: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply
1606  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The 10 Commandments of Internet Security & Online Privacy on: October 08, 2015, 02:27:52 PM
To help beginners and newbies navigate safely through the dangerous shallows of the internet,
I've tried to compile a list covering the most important points and steps to improve your online privacy and security setup:


The 10 Commandments Of Internet Security & Online Privacy


Thou shalt always be aware that there are myriads of dangers to your privacy & security
Thou shalt protect your identity & privacy online at all times
Thou shalt use secure and strong passwords & don’t reuse them
Thou shalt use crypto currencies like bitcoin & monero for payments
Thou shalt mask your IP using a VPN or proxy service
Thou shalt use safe communication tools for email, messaging and VoIP
Thou shalt make use of security and privacy enhancing browser addons & plugins
Thou shalt be extra cautious with social media & sharing personal information
Thou shalt use anti virus protection especially if using Windows
Thou shalt keep your system and all privacy & security tools up to date



=> if you're looking for further information, tips, tricks and tools go check out the Privacy Tools & How To Guides.

I bet that the most of beginners and newbies will not be able to understand the majority of the things and terms used to write those ten commandments. To not speak here to be able to use those themselves. I think that needed to much work and help by the most experienced people that they be able to use and applied those.
1607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Welcome To The Blockchain on: October 08, 2015, 02:14:19 PM
Very good initiative. Cannot spread more than it was. Because it was put in every place. But I will put it in my Facebook page and I will share it in all my friends. Maybe some of those will know more about blockchain and bitcoin.

Done.
1608  Economy / Economics / Re: Good read on the future of the dollar on: October 08, 2015, 02:02:19 PM
I think dollar will be collapse in future but will remain the main currency for international trade. Yes it does not look good for years dollar its falling against the euro and british pound and it aint fighting back so the future is not so bright. It also depends on a lot of things and factors like interest rates, the growth rate of the economy and growth rate of other economies etc.

If your prediction will become true there is no sense on it. If the us dollar collapse in the future there is now chance that it continue to be the main currency in international trade. Who will want one currency which is collapse or collapsing in continuation? Only one stupid. Because using that money will lose from the collapse. Needed to use more money the next time of buying something in the same amount. There is no sense to do this.

As for the fall of dollar against euro your are again wrong. Only this year us dollar has gain about 25% of its value. See for more this article: http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/16/investing/us-dollar-fastest-rise-40-years/
1609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a way to earn at least $1 in BTC per hour? on: October 08, 2015, 01:51:17 PM
Probably faucets is the best way, recommend moonbit and coinker!

Never and then never you will have 1 bitcoin per hour using faucets. There are not faucet or group of faucets which can give you this amount even if you work all the hour and every second of it. The suggestion made by the author of this post is simple a bullshit.
1610  Economy / Economics / Re: Investing in what porfo is good in the period of stagnation on: October 08, 2015, 01:41:19 PM
Depends on what your country has to offer. Bitcoin isn't that much a good investment vehicle to use though it can still serve as one. Gold and other precious metals tend to have price increases for a long time, so it is a good storage of value. Real estate is kinda pricey, but still a good investment given that the need for space and shelter is always present and increasing. Stocks can go pretty bad, but if planned well, stocks can help you in getting some fat profit and checks.

According to me no one can predict the trend and the prices of any goods in the future. Even my secure way of expression about of the rising of price of bitcoin in one my above post is excessive (I accept this). But I don't think that the increase of gold and the other precious metals will be bigger that the price of bitcoin in term of the periods we talk above. Anyhow this is an my opinion and It is not mean that it will be this way.

Yes, I agree that no one can predict the trend of the market, but the charts could somehow give you a hint of what the market thinks about the certain good/product. Gold charts from 2000 - 2010 shows a significant uptrend of gold.



I'd better invest some of my assets in precious metals as they have a large potential to gain in value over a long time than to choose other unstable investments which could further wreck my holdings.

Your chart cannot be as a reference point because show the price of gold since the year 2010. But from the year 2011 the tendency was the opposite of that which is shown in your graphic. Se for more this link: http://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-year-chart

Below the chart of price of gold in the last 5 years:

1611  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I quit trading on: October 08, 2015, 01:24:01 PM
So guys, after 2 years of trading i am going to stop. (unless i have full time to trade, which i currently don't)

I have calculated all my trades on the various platforms i have used in the last couple years.

Deposited: 47BTC (roughly)

Withdrew: 40BTC (roughly)

Overall i am happy with the results, i would pay 7 BTC anyday for what i have learned so far.

Now the question is: what the fuck do i do now with my money.

Put they in your wallet and forget about those bro. The only safe thing to do is to not learn other things with those. Every kind of learn in our days don't worth to be paid with your bitcoin. Your bitcoin deserve more. Leave it the needed time to grow and be matured and you will have much more learnings with much, much less bitcoin.

According to me in our times there are not safe way to grow those. So better to leave those as and there where they are. Or can be less. And this it will be (maybe only for me) a sin.

It is very good news. More are the exchanges more are the chances to have good prices in buying and selling bitcoins. Hope that others will open and be live in the future. And hope long life of every of those.
1613  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Bullish News and Articles Thread on: October 08, 2015, 12:59:36 PM

Congrats Fakhoury. Your wonder is becoming true. Not exactly in the most needed and right place (if it would me to make the choices) but I think that it will be followed even in other countries.
1614  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Bullish News and Articles Thread on: October 08, 2015, 12:52:34 PM
I don't think that this is a bullish news. Promoting gambling is always wrong, I think. I understand that the aim of the post is to tell that peer to peer is used for the online gambling sites but this is not new. I know that since two years ago this technology was adopted from such sites. I have no proof or link to put it here but even my news may not be true, this kind of news which promote gambling in some way, according to me, is wrong.

It's bullish dear because there are a lot of money in the gambling scene, A LOT !!

Latest poker sites were using online banks like Neteller, Skrill and such. But Bitcoin would be a killer here  Cool

I don't agree with you about the gambling and you reasons to consider bullish those. But everyone has its ideas and the world is beauty because is different.  Wink

The key is volume in this area, and I have to say I see a ton of BTC thrown around.

But I think that not every ton of bitcoins can be important. I cannot say that the bitcoins of Silk Road are important. The bitcoin without the moral is nothing according to me. In this case we are not in the same situation because the regulated gambling is legit but near of that, I think, yes. I'm sure that most people play to earn and lose the money of the everyday bread hoping that one time will have jackpot only trying without stopping themselves. Maybe the problem is the person itself but i see that the gambling has the power to convert to many people like the above person. And this is wrong. As for me gambling is wrong and must have very severe rules for this kind of "entertainment".

This not a very freedom and liberty based mindset. Which is what Bitcoin was born from.

Look man we all have personal beliefs. But requiring strict punishment for gambling fits right into a dictatorship of regulation. Bitcoin is freedom from everything, (in theory). People come to this space to free themselves of the over reaching hands of regulation.

You might not agree with gambling. But people are adults who make their own decisions. Those decisions my be horrably but that is not our place or the governments place to stop it. All that BTC going into gambling is pumped back into the ecosystem to pay labor, services, licensing,  advertising, ect. So gambling sites actualy make a ton of volume in the space (good or bad not the issue). What we see is transaction and as long as that continues to go up we are growing.

I am repeating the same thing and we will continue forever with this discussion because we think different. For me that money which become from gambling are not money become from the freedom of everything (which is a concept that don't have sense and I will explain this below) but from the doing bad. I don't agree this conception even this can grow the transactions or the "power" of bitcoin. I cannot accept the dirty bitcoin. I will fight for the cleanly bitcoin and only for that. Only this bitcoin can give or pay "labor, services, licensing,  advertising, ect". The other bitcoin give or pay only pain and death.

I think that for you the dead of Silk Road it is a disaster for bitcoin. This a very big wrong thinking. This thinking can destroy bitcoin.

As for the concept of freedom from everything this is a concept which don't exist. Your freedom exist since this freedom don't touch mine of Fakhoury's freedom. In that moment you need to stop. If you don't stop are the authorities which stop you. Why? Because you are touching my freedom. And my freedom have the same importance as yours. Exactly for this reason you have no right to touch my freedom. In this way your freedom is not an "EVERYTHING FREEDOM". It is LIMITED FREEDOM. By the rules. We live in society and we must respect the rules of the society. If you want everything freedom you must live forever only with yourself in a mountain, in a forest, in a desert or in another place when no one live.
1615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another "bitcoin pizza" thread on: October 08, 2015, 12:26:44 PM
So everyone knows the story of the 10,000 BTC pizza a few years ago, lots of threads on it, yada yada yada... I saw a thread today and had a thought.

I looked back and realized that the "10,000 Bitcoin pizza" was bought from Papa Johns (I know the bitcoin wasnt actually spent at Papa Johns). My thought was what if Papa Johns used this in marketing and started accepting Bitcoin. That would be so great! They are a large well known company thats spread all across the US. It would provide legitimacy, expose a larger number of people to it and would allow people to use bitcoin in the real world rather than just online. They could market as the first ever bitcoin transaction and/or tie in something about how much those 10,000BTC would be worth (as if it were invested).

I wanted to suggest this but their website says they only accept suggestions from internal. http://www.papajohns.com/customer-service/
Does anyone know someone who owns/works at a Papa Johns and could sell them on the idea?

Thoughts?

Go to one of the Papa Johns near your home and ask for the place when you can find their administration. If they don't give an answer, go to another. Continue in this way and hope that find someone which will tell you the place. Find a reason to tell those (must be convincing reason, for example; have a proposition for collaboration) and ask for customer section or marketing section. Do you propose and ask (wait) for the answer. You will have your answer if they will be attracted by your proposition.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: International Games Prediction Thread on: October 08, 2015, 12:18:36 PM
Portugal vs Denmark.. In Onehash.com the people is betting for Denmark or the draw ... Portugal @3.737 draw @2.142 Denmark @ 3,237


I think that the chances of Portugal are high... and the rate... tempting XD. In the other hand Portugal is quite irregular.

Your opinion would be helpful.

I hope that win Portugal. If the Portugal win with Denmark and Albania with Serbia (both matches have big chances to have those results because are the home teams which normally win in a match and both those play in home) Albania will go directly, for the first time on its story, in one European final football competition.

Go Portugal and go Albania.
1617  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your bet in slots? on: October 08, 2015, 12:13:02 PM
I hate to play slots, i always lose even with small balance.
Also, i can't trust any slots even the "provably fair" ones, i'm sure all of them are rigged & i'm sure i'll lose if i try to play slots

I still prefer dice than slots

The first part of your past made me to think: this guy/girl (I don't know what you are) is someone which think. Then I read the second part and in my mind "born" another question: it is really so?

You think that can be difference from the desire of the owner of casino to have profits and the possibility to be always lucky? You think that can be difference between the playing slots and playing dice?
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: October 08, 2015, 12:06:54 PM
I've became interested in playing dice games with my BTC but every time I play I lose. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, or dice games are supposed to be like that? (sorry I'm new to this) Isn't there a guide or tutorial where I could get started playing these games? I don't know how this really works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks  Wink

So far, I like dicecoin.io  Cheesy

The most you will arrive is to win one time in hundred time and if your gambling will continue you will "win" always in the same way. There are no rules in gambling. Only luck and desire of the owners of casinos to have profits. The luck cannot be controlled and you cannot change never the desire of the owners of casinos to have profits. Is no sense that this desire change. So the only way to "earn" money is the "earning" of the money you gamble. Don't gamble and you will have for sure and to use for everything you want that amount of money. The choice is yours.

Just look at my cloudbet affiliate figures for all time.
Takes some swallowing.
 Angry



You are not the world's unluckiest affiliate partner but you are only the most world's honest person. No one win in gambling. Only that the others hide the true and don't tell that they have lost. They are so "proud" to be gambler people and have not the will to leave it that tell that the losers are only they who don't known this "profession". They lose regularly but have always money to lose (only they know the sources). So has no importance if they win or lose. Important is to gamble.

Please abandon gambling. You will never had profit from this "profession".
1620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: October 08, 2015, 11:37:57 AM
What about selling some bitcoins for a POS coin and letting in grow to sell them later? It has some risks, but it might be a good method or not?

This is called a trading. All trading and investment comes with some risks so it better to diversify your investments to reduce to risks. Yes you can buy some if you thing those got good potential of price appreciation in future to make some decent profit. But should trade carefully to reduce loses.

Yes trading can be done either in exchange or with real people in your street.

First time that I hear about this thing. How is possible that? Staying in the street and seeing how is going the market at the television placed at the showcase of the supermarket near your home and then give and take the money in the hands of everyone following the verification of prediction made before? Or what? In which way is made this thing? Because is interesting to know that.
