I'm afraid that's not enough information for us to conclude that Ulbricht is indeed Satoshi Nakamoto. Yes, Satoshi most probably is a skilled programmer and knowledgeable in the field of cryptography and economics, but is there proof that he is indeed American? Who knows also, Satoshi Nakamoto might be a group instead of one single entity.

So it seems the more the service is popular the faster it will fail
Err. You're probably right to some extent. Whatever that caused bitmixer to close(I forgot what caused them to close), might can also be the cause ChipMixer to close in the future if it was something involving the government or something. I hope not though. It would appear that chipmixer.io is currently offline/down...
ChipMixer.com is our main domain. We were under DDoS attack. Tor service was not affected. OFF: What is the requirements for Sr. Member? 240 activity. Link on ranks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 |

I personally don't day trade for a living, as I'm more of a semi-long term trader, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I personally think that forex trading is similar to cryptocurrency trading. The only difference is that cryptocurrencies are far far more volatile compared to stocks and foreign currencies, as you may probably know just by looking at the price graphs of almost all cryptocurrencies. Yes ofcourse you can start with low capital with cryptocurrency trading. You just need to make the right trades at the right times and at the same time with the right amount.

I'll give Aantonop a go. I feel that this would go a long way in beating the morning news for educating myself.
Most of his videos are quite long, but In my opinion Andreas is one of the most smart and knowledgeable personalities in the bitcoin community. Sure it's going to take some time to watch a good number of his videos, but trust me when I say it's very worth it. Best of luck. |

Thanks for your quick replies! Wallets - I think I will place my nano order in  How does Myetherwallet rank in terms of security, I do hold my private keys right? Privacy - need to expand my research to cover and combine the other aspects to identify good options ICOs - Agreed, there way too many ICOs taking place now, impossible to research and cover all. I will go deep into the ICO/altcoins threads to educate myself and will try to focus on few ICOs which tick the boxes in terms of team, roadmap etc. Thanks! Myetherwallet is fine if you know what you're doing, and yes you hold your private keys. But ofcourse you're always better off with a hardware wallet like trezor/ledger nano. Just a heads up on looking for ICOs: don't jump in and invest a huge amount on ICOs just because alot of people are getting in on it. I'm almost 100% sure a good number of ICO investors don't read shit about a project, they just go with the hype. If you're in some facebook cryptocurrency groups you would get what I mean.  Goodluck! |

"China has brought nothing but problems and great shame to Bitcoin." You specifically meant the Chinese government right? Let's not forget that Bitcoin, Monero and other cryptocurrencies had a significant rise on price just because the Chinese people were buying. It just shows that a good number of Chinese people are interested in blockchain technology as well. Attacking and wanting to get rid of China, the country itself is quite selfish in my opinion. Me and most people just want the whole chinese FUD to end. Just release an official statement already and get it over with, for the good or the bad. Bitcoin and crypto will survive.
If only a lot of people do their own research first and confirm what they're reading and not just automatically panic when they read some negative news about China. |

You can use the Waves Platform or ERC20 tokens via Ethereum. Do some research on it as I personally haven't tried creating my own cryptocurrency/token. https://wavesplatform.com/https://ethereum.org/tokenBut wait. You said that you're just a beginner.. but you're already planning on creating your own cryptocurrency? Are you serious? |

- China ban on bitcoin coming 30 September. China isn't banning bitcoin. China is banning exchanges on the 30th. Get your facts straight. China banning bitcoin is currently only a rumor - Antshares commissioned by Chinese government : where's your source? Ask yourself: What will this ban do to the price of bitcoin and what will trade to and from China use when the Chinese government has it's OWN currency. Don't be fooled by the name change of Antshares, because that is NOT a coincidence.
So you're saying that Antshares re-branded to NEO because it will become China's cryptocurrency? If so, what does a re-branding achieve here? And again, where's your source? |

Forks aren't necessarily bad. Sometimes forks are necessary for bitcoin to move forward. The news about a possibly fork on November isn't new.
Division between communities is to be expected in a decentralized platform. Like it or not. People will always have their own opinions and ideas on how to move a certain project forward.
Also, I don't think Roger Ver has that much anything to do with the November fork, as he has already has a version of bitcoin that he prefers. And also, Roger Ver definitely has no authority to make decisions on behalf of the bitcoin community. He already has his own project, BitcoinCash.

Dude what are you talking about lul. Like what dothebeats said, bitcoin IS a peer to peer electronic cash system. [
Is it really peer to peer if it has to go through an intermediary, the miner, for the transaction to be processed? I'm playing devil's advocate as much as I am looking to learn. What's the true definition of peer to peer - no business entity involvement or a truly 1:1 transaction where there is no "middle man" at all? Thanks Alright. This is what I personally think. For the readers, feel free to correct me as well as I could be wrong. Basically in P2P each party has the same capabilities or privileges. I wouldn't call a miner/miners an "intermediary" as they generally don't get to have hold over your coins. They're just there to confirm if a certain transaction is actually legitimate or to basically provide more security in general. But yea what matters the most really is that there is no one single entity that has control over the blockchain. |

Will direct peer-to -peer bitcoin transactions (by pass an exchange ) be possible in future?
If that were possible what would happen to the validation and confirmation of the network? It seems like this suggestion would have less security and this is not what we want to do. Also if you did not go through a ledger but just went purely peer to peer, what stops somebody from creating their own "bitcoin"? It seems like a slippery slope for some convenience Dude what are you talking about lul. Like what dothebeats said, bitcoin IS a peer to peer electronic cash system. "It seems like this suggestion would have less security and this is not what we want " this is definitely what we wanted. one of the selling points of bitcoin is that it doesn't need any mediator whatsoever. Hence "peer to peer". Not because bitcoin is peer to peer it doesn't mean that it can't have validation and confirmations from the network. Not sure if you misunderstood OP's question or you didn't understand correctly what bitcoin is.  |

Based on your description alone I don't think it's legit. 500 PHP sign in bonus? That alone makes it fishy enough. I would understand if it was a referral bonus, but not if it's only a sign in bonus like you said. Also, maybe you mean no withdrawal fee? As transaction fees are always present on whatever cryptocurrency(besides IOTA). Ask your friend, why look for an alternative is Bittrex is working fine? By the way can you link us the irontrade app? I don't think that's affiliated with https://irontrade.com/ |

Is getting into bitcoin at around $700 early enough?  If yes, what would you like to know specifically? What I remember most is just that I wasn't minding the price of bitcoin that much more than a year ago, because the price was stable and steady at around the $600-$800 price for a while(if I remember correctly). I wasn't that active on these forums that time too, as I wasn't like super into cryptocurrencies yet. The next thing I knew bitcoin was around $2000 already in a snap of a finger. After that happened I decided to hold more; and when I mean hold I mean not spend my bitcoins on Steam games. |

Don't use either of those. If you wanted to try out cloud mining, go with Genesis Mining. I'm not saying it's profitable, as it's definitely not, but maybe you just want to test it out and pay with the with the cheapest cloud mining plans for shits and giggles. But to be honest, with only profitability in mind I'd rather buy bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies than pay for mining. A lot more profitable if you choose the right coins, and you wouldn't have to worry if you're going to make back your money you invested in those cloud mining sites. Best case scenario you would break even on cloud mining sites.

I don't suggest doing that. You could be a easy target for scams. Try using a VPN. It's something that masks your IP address to a non-US IP. Try these out: https://www.tunnelbear.com/https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/NOTE: If you're gonna use a free VPN, internet speeds are going to be significantly slower. My suggestion is to only turn on the VPN when creating/depositing in the ICO website. |

If their customer support doesn't reply I suggest you to post on forum.bitcoin.com and make a complaint there. If I remember correctly admins there are online most of the time, and they might be able to contact the guys who manage the store from their site. EDIT: From https://store.bitcoin.com/ : We are currently reorganising and redesigning The Bitcoin Store to better meet the needs of all our highly valued customers.
A new and improved crypto-shopping experience is just a few short days away so please sit tight and check back with us regularly for the new & improved Bitcoin.com Store!
Are they out of business? They have been updating their store website for weeks now. I ordered a ledger nano s back in June for a September ship date but haven't received anything yet and they do not respond to email contact for order status.
Seems a little shady at the moment.
I would like to buy a ledger nano. I heard it is out of stock. Where can I find/buy one? Try out these links: https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-shttps://www.amazon.com/Ledger-Nano-Cryptocurrency-hardware-wallet/dp/B01J66NF46 |

From the URL's short post:Current crypto market is looking bearish but you can make some intraday short term trades for quick profit. Key level to watch today is $3810 and if it will break price can easily touch $3500 in short term and $3300 to $29xx level in mid term.
ETH might also drop to $265 and if it breaks it can go lower with respect to bitcoin price.
QTUM was pumped hard yesterday by some whales they easily sold all their bags on peak prices for easy profit. Many of you might got trapped on yesterday’s pump and dump scheme on QTUM. Don’t get fooled by such small pumps and dumps. If BTC goes down price of QTUM can go below $5.3 types.
OMG has turned bearish too. Expecting ETH to fall less than BTC when it does. Can open some long position in ETH-BTC at around 0.063-0.064 BTC.
There is some big buy orders on BTC at $3800, could jump a bit from there. If it doesn’t hold there, then $35xx should come easily. That article is BS. I'm not saying that the writer is incorrect with his/her predictions, but the writer just made claim after claim saying that X will happen if Y happens etc etc without even attempting to explain why and how he/she ended up with that prediction.
