So my wallet address has "YGS" in it. If you don't know what YGS is, it stands for "Your grammar sucks" and it's a popular show ran weekly by a YouTuber JacksFilms.

Wow, that address was generated, that's quite impressive.

Much more impressive is this one: 1AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA5555554Mcx3G

Personally I prefer BTC because it doesn't send your house address and what not via payments, but sometimes it gets annoying when I want to buy something online but they don't accept BTC. What do you prefer: PayPal or BTC?
you right I also prefer BTC because it doesn't send your house address and what not via payments, but sometimes it gets annoying when I want to buy something online but they don't accept BTC. What do you prefer: PayPal or BTC?


But if you're buying something you need to provide an address and name to receive it...

BTC, Much lesser fees "compared to PayPal 3x cents + a percentage of every commercial transaction.
yeah for bitcoin fee may be much friendlier than paypal any amount you send money using bitcoin. will never change fee will remain the same. in contrast to other methods such as PayPal, etc.
but why is there still a lot of people choose paypal? I'm confused by that


There's nothing to be confused about people don't want to be scammed when buying stuff online.
Yup, PayPal is basically the equivalent of a Bitcoin escrow service, and it ensures that both parties carry out their jobs correctly and everyone gets their good or service (or money) in the end.

PayPal does protect a customer, for the most part, but it is also a good tool for scammers that are trying to make easy money off of small business owners. There will never really be a good balance, ever.

That's not something one can do continuously, you might be able to do that a couple of times but Paypal has really invested in fraud prevention over the the years and they are very experienced with that.

If you're always disputing your orders, you gonna have a bad time...

The last archive is from 13 Sep 2015 02:57:12 UTC

If you try archiving now you get:

Well, then you should create a topic in that forum exposing the problem, there's nothing we can do here...

1670  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: blockchaim deducted $100 fee for $112 transaction on: May 05, 2016, 03:57:42 PM
I think if it is a huge amount, usually the miner who found the block will kindly return the fee to the sender. However, since the amount is less than 0.25BTC, the miner will just assume it was just normal. I guess it has already been distributed evenly to the pool.

That may be a lot of money to the person who lost it...

So, what if it was already distributed, can't they take it from new funds?
1671  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: blockchaim deducted $100 fee for $112 transaction on: May 05, 2016, 03:03:39 PM
Remember that time when you paid something with your VISA card and you accidentally ended up 'donating' an extra $100 for the VISA network?

Cant say i do, but i do remember selling an item to a customer, who then said they didnt get the said item and visa gave them the purchase price back.   thankfully that dosnt happen with bitcoin.

I remember sending my bitcoins and get scammed, no one to ask for a refund...

I still don't understand what was is motivation for this, and I assume he knew this lie would be very short lived...

One good reddit theory was that he was being investigated in Australia for tax evasion since he didn't have proof of a $54 million tax write-off in spending for his company.  So, bitcoin and its anonymous transactions is the perfect cover.  

LOL, no, it isn't!

I've recently examined a machine that got hit with Cerber Ransonware and was able to retrieve successfully a lot of files with data recovery software.


If you're lucky the files you need may still be intact.
1676  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HOW is bitstamp still in business, 0.01 BTC fee on 1 BTC trade...WHAT THE HECK? on: May 05, 2016, 10:03:05 AM
That's in euros and dollars, not in bitcoin.

Means minimum fee is 1 cent dollar/euro.
1677  Economy / Economics / Re: Why are Venezuelan not switching to Bitcoin? on: May 05, 2016, 09:58:26 AM
Bitcoin cannot be used as an 'everyday day' normal currency, plus there may be some legal restriction there to prevent its adoption.
1678  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I benefit from btc? on: May 05, 2016, 09:44:16 AM
The majority of us use it as an investment, we hope it will increase in value sometime in the future, it is also wide used to protect some of your money from bank failure and even currency devaluation in some countries.

According to this artcile the EU is just starting to make a proposal on AML for Bitcoin

http://www.coindesk.com/vote-moves-european-parliament-closer-aml-task-force/

Not bitcoin, you should read more carefully.

Quote
Speaking with CoinDesk this afternoon, founder of the European Digital Currency and Blockchain Technology Forum (EDCAB) described the vote as part of a larger movement to regulate virtual currency exchange platforms under existing anti-money laundering (AML) controls.

Plus:

Quote
Despite the measures, Europe has long been thought of as having more favorable digital currency regulation than other developed nations, particularly the US.

I don't think there's anything bitcoin specific, businesses dealing with money have to follow AML/KYC directives, that does apply to some bitcoin businesses.
