1603  Economy / Digital goods / $400 off Coupon at GAWMiners on: June 10, 2014, 07:54:25 PM
Hello everyone, I have a $400 off coupon for Scrypt/Bitcoin miners at GAWMiners.com. I'm open to taking offers for it, otherwise I will use it myself. There is no minimum purchase needed. IE if your purchase price is less than $400 then you simply get that equipment for free.

Post or PM if you're interested.

Note: Taking payments in goods, services, Bitcoin (preferred) or Western Union only. No paypal, moneypaks or vanilla reloads.

If not sold in about 5 days I will most likely purchase some equipment from them myself for the 6/16/14 shipping date that is upcoming.

i don't know about more ppl discussing about bitcoin around me. Since i've never over heard ppl talking about it.
I've talked to many colleagues in my large company year plus ago, but no one is approaching/ have interest in buying.
They may appear interested but they have no interest in investing bitcoin.

Well it all starts with awareness that it exists first. Then the interesting leads to buying and using bitcoin, which then leads to merchant adoption and that feeds right back into the cycle. This is all progress.

U$ 'works for you' by borrowing money to banks, so they create 100x the U$ you 'borrowed' them, paying a low fee. Since the idea is get off this 'debt system'... Cheesy

The other way would be investing in crypto stocks.. then the answer would be  wait Sir, things takes time to happen.


TO THE MOON Smiley


What on earth does all of that mean? I can't tell if you just don't speak English well, don't know what you're talking about or if you are a bot that throws a bunch of money/bitcoin sentences together.

To the OP: just hold your BTC and buy some more if you can. Then hold and in 2 years you'll be a very happy man.
1606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin Discussion among the public is increasing on: June 09, 2014, 05:53:11 AM
So I usually get pretty excited whenever I hear about people (non-nerds and non-tech savvy) discussing bitcoins. However, today I overhead two physicians talking about buying $300,000 worth of bitcoins in order to protect themselves from the devaluation of the USD. Now I know that $300,000 isn't really THAT much in terms of the bitcoin marketcap, but more importantly is that we may have some of the educated people of the USA start buying bitcoins soon. The mere fact they 1) knew of bitcoin and 2) are considering dumping a large amount of their fiat into it, is a REALLY good sign.

I remember 2 years ago I did not hear a single person in the public discussing bitcoins. 6-8 months ago I began hearing very few people discuss it in passing, usually only in regards to it's recent price increases, and now I'm hearing people discuss bitcoins on a 1-2x per week basis.

Mass Bitcoin adoption is coming....I hope you're all ready for it Cheesy
1607  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: best phone with which app on: June 05, 2014, 05:39:38 PM
You need to use an android phone (not an Iphone) in order to receive and send bitcoins. I'd suggest using the blockchain app. That way you can have your blockchain wallet accessable on the PC or anywhere else in the world AND access it on your phone. That way if you lose/break your phone you didn't just lose all of your bitcoins. If you want a wallet that is only on your phone (and store backups elsewhere) then I suggest using Mycelium.

If you are US based I'd also suggest signing up with coinbase so that it's easy to buy and sell bitcoins. You can then use the coinbase app to receive/send bitcoins anywhere you like.

In the past I've had some problems with the blockchain QR scanner, but the coinbase QR scanner has never had any issues for me.
1608  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cant buy bitcoins anywhere on: June 05, 2014, 05:25:33 PM
What you should do is buy a few Moneypaks or vanilla reload or whatever other form of electronic money is available over there. Then trade that in the marketplace for a near-market price of bitcoin. If you can get items/cards that people want, you'll get a more fair exchange.

Nope its not "already dead" it's brand new and "starting up".

Now, now. We all know you were the #1 litecoin miner on WemineLTC for quite a while, "barely used" is an extreme understatement. I'm sure you'll find buyers though.

Hello everyone. I've been a pretty active forum member here and now I'm looking to start up my own Bitcoin + Gaming + other nerd topic forums. I will actively be working to make improvements on it that the community would benefit from.

For now we have bitcoin tipping to users payable in satoshi donations (look to the right of the user names).

More importantly though, everyone gets free bitcoins just for posting and being active within our community. The current rate is 2,000 Satoshi's per post and per thread. Also if you are the creator of an active thread you get the bonus of an extra 200 Satoshi's for every single reply to your thread!

If you're paying in bitcoin I have 3 BFL jalapenos at 5.2-5.4 GH/s each for a total of about 16 GH/s with a PiMiner included, all situated nicely in a portable crate. All you have to do is plug in the surge protector to the wall, and an ethernet cable to the piMiner, enter your pool details in the Pi and they will automatically begin hashing for you.

PM me if you're interested (or if anyone else is interested that reads this).
1614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ideas on inexpensive, portable laptop to use as Bitcoin Cold Storage? on: June 03, 2014, 04:18:22 PM
One potential issue with any laptop/PC, regardless of what OS you run is that the bios could be hacked and unless you physically remove wifi and bluetooth capability you will never know if there is a keylogger etc in place. The good thing about cheap chinese phones as cold storage is that they don't generally support google play but you can side load mycelium from an sd card and disable BT and wifi.

Btw I have a really nice tosh r500 portege (2.2lbs and 12.4" screen, 128gb SSD) that I'm probably going to give away but I won't be back in the US for another month or so. It runs linux pretty well but with w7 the browser can be a little slow.

Giving it away? Is there any catch?

Edit; I'm 1/2 thinking of doing something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windows-7-Dell-Latitude-D630-Core-2-Duo-3-6-4-8GHZ-2GB-160GB-WIFI-Cheap-Laptop-/251539725292?pt=Laptops_Nov05&var=&hash=item3a90ef9bec  what do you guys think?

I'd like full windows support so I could add multibit if/when they come out with the deterministic HD wallet
1615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ideas on inexpensive, portable laptop to use as Bitcoin Cold Storage? on: June 03, 2014, 04:03:52 PM
Problem with a raspberry pi is that then I would also need to find a monitor, keyboard and mouse to plug in, in order to do any transactions, which would be nearly impossible to have ready access to that stuff on-the-go. Problem with true paper wallets is well, its too easy to damage, get moldy, ink to smear or just simply lose it etc.

I do like the netbook with removing wifi card and ethernet drivers and your ethernet port "mods".

However, even more interesting is the idea of a phone in airplane mode. Especially if I could get a full disk/OS encryption (I think android tablets have this function? not sure if the phones do?) AND get electrum on it and somehow sign online transactions with it..... Electrum is a must for me.
1616  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Ideas on inexpensive, portable laptop to use as Bitcoin Cold Storage? on: June 03, 2014, 12:26:19 AM
Just like the title says I'm looking to pickup an inexpensive laptop for bitcoin cold storage. Any ideas?

Lightweight, highly portable, good battery life and cheap would be a great combination.

Tracking the 2014 Bitcoin Bubble - First Doubling

I am tracking the number of days it takes the bitcoin price to double. This is a proven indicator for determining when a bubble is peaking. There is academic research that quantifies the super-exponential growth during an asset price bubble, but the math is much simpler when counting days-to-double. Historically, the bitcoin price peaks when prices are on a pace to double in about a week.

The first doubling leading up to the next bubble took 51 days, which is the difference between $340 on April 10 and $680 on May 31.

I will be watching for . . .

Second doubling - $1360 (perhaps July)
Third doubling - $2720 (perhaps July)
Fourth doubling - $5440 (I think the late July peak will be near this value)
Fifth doubling - $10880 (probably will not happen unless the peak is in the fall)


Those predictions would make this one hell of an exciting year! Do you have any good sources for the bubble peaking when doubling price is in 1 weeks time?
1618  Economy / Economics / Re: Why would sales in Bitcoins decline on Overstock? on: June 01, 2014, 11:51:15 PM
I think it all revolves around the current Bitcoin price. If bitcoin price was still $1000+ people would be more inclined to purchase stuff knowing that they don't have to get rid of as many coins. But with the recent decline in bitcoin price, people are waiting for the supra-1000 dollar/coin again before they continue to spend.

3) He won't move those coins until bitcoin is super-main stream. Reason: If he started to move ANY of them now, everyone would know he has access to them, speculation of a bitcoin dump would began and people would sell bitcoin and drive the price back down to sub $10/coin maybe $1 per coin, thereby hurting his personal unrealized wealth and the future of bitcoin.

-snip-


Precisely what Professor Bitcorn wants him to do. Satoshi comes this month to fulfil PB's prophecy :O

He would not make such a mistake to start moving them this month while adoption is still in its infancy. Was your statement sarcasm or you really think BTC will hit $10 in the next 30 days?
1620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi Nakamoto become the richest person on earth? on: June 01, 2014, 11:32:25 PM
1) Satoshi is still alive
2) He most likely has control over those coins still (he invented bitcoin with damn near perfect, do you really think he'd be so careless to lose his private keys?)
3) He won't move those coins until bitcoin is super-main stream. Reason: If he started to move ANY of them now, everyone would know he has access to them, speculation of a bitcoin dump would began and people would sell bitcoin and drive the price back down to sub $10/coin maybe $1 per coin, thereby hurting his personal unrealized wealth and the future of bitcoin.
4) What will he do with the coins? Hopefully donate some, use some to fund needed bitcoin projects or lobbying, build infrastructure and keep some for himself.
