This is sad to see. It puts all coin makers in a bad light and increases skepticism about physical coins. I don't want to make any accusations. Its possible that Alitin actually kept a record of the keys and have now swiped the coins. However, it's also just as plausible to say that they didn't follow the correct protocol when assembling the coins and as a result the keys weren't erased from any devices which have since been compromised. Either way, a lot of questions will need answering. Sorry for all those who lost their funds. I really took a liking to these coins. Shame to see another coin maker go down like this.

I really like the interface and simplicity. If you could add various altcoins too that would be great. It kind of reminds me of preev.com but with a nicer updated look. With regards to adding all the other functions, I think something similar already exists. Take a look at https://coinmarketcap.comOnce you click on a coin it shows you a lot more information.

I have seen this listing on eBay do a while now. I think if it was reasonably priced then it'd probably have sold by now. 1.57BTC per coin is quite a premium. Coins sold on here have recently been demanding much less of a premium although that may be down to the fact that there have been quite a few listed for sale.

This would probably be more relevant in the reading discussion sub. Had you asked this question earlier I'd have advised you to buy Snap shares which you could have flipped at a nice profit using leverage. Does anyone know of any trading sites that accept BTC as a payment method?

So in essence you want an easier way for people to buy BTC. The problem is that people would abuse the system. By singing up, people have to verify their identity and prove that the cards they're using actually belong to them. Without such a protective measure people would use the site to buy BTC using illegally obtained funds. If you could get around that issue then perhaps it would be something worth pursuing.

I'm not entirely sure what affect this would have on the price of BTC but I'd assume that if COIN are denied, the price wouldn't really fall much if any at all. The current price has been relatively steady and is independent relative to the upcoming vote. Having been said, if the SEC do grant them permission then the price of BTC could spike a little more given the fact the a government division is making further steps to legitimising Bitcoin in practical terms.
If denied it won't fall much, that is if the manipulators do not ride the news and start creating a fake dump to make weaker hand to panick. New comer will cetainly be the victim of this tactics, I just hope majority of these people have more faith in Bitcoin than their hands being weak. The biggest players who can have a major impact on the price are those based in Asia. The outcome of this vote won't mean anything to them and as far as we're concerned it shouldn't prompt any reaction from them. The only worry is that if a few US players start selling, Asian whales will follow suit and that could significantly lower the price. Having been said, even if they are denied, I doubt many US investors will start dumping. It wouldn't be in their best interests and they know that.

Just making sure I get this right. You're offering an alarm clock that slowly drains people's pre-loaded wallets if they fail to wake up on time by using phone sensors to detect movement and ensure the user is awake? It's definitely humorous and all but I can't see this taking off. It's a novel idea but doesn't really have much promise. Why would people pay for this when there are similar apps that offer the same end-result without resulting in you having to put your money on the line.
Hello AT101ET, Im glad you ask we are here to answer and clarify any questions related to the project. No, we are not just an Alarm Clock that slowly drains people's money and it is not just the sensors that will detect if the user actually woke-up. We are in negotiation to bring a specialist from the São Paulo Sleep Institute to act as an advisor in the development of the App by working on a manual deactivation mode where the user is encouraged to wake up and that we can ensure that he is in a fully conscious state. (Our Startup is located in Brazil, a country, which is currently on the cutting edge of sleep studies.) In addition our App will also integrate with Google Calendar and other similar tools, letting you know all day of your appointments. We are working on a User Experience where our application will also act as a bridge to non-crypto users, enabling common payment methods and converting to Bitcoin, teaching users in a simple and intuitive way about cryptocurrency. The idea of "put your money on the line" depends exclusively on you, if you wake up at the time that is your goal after all since you installed the application, you will not be losing money but winning, this value placed is "symbolic" and serves Just as motivation for you to wake up. And why Smart? Because it calculates your hours of sleep, accompanies you during your days and your most important appointments, we will not manage any funds, everything will be done in a transparent and secure way through the Smart Contract present in Syscoin Blockchain and beyond all it checks if In fact you've woken up and still reward you for it. Best, Neylor ZaurisioFounder - Betternot.restI've looked at your site and read a little more. Thanks for the lengthened explanation. My only question now is that what will incentivise people to keep using the app? As the app gains popularity, the amount of people (the pool) sharing the 90% of leaked funds will grow (assumingly). This means that the funds they'd each be receiving would decrease given the fact that people who continuously fail to wake up will eventually quit using the app seeing as it just causes them to lose out financially. Additionally, once people actually get into habit of waking up on time then the pool of users failing to wake up would decrease and the funds they'd need to split would lessen as well.

A bit of a random question, but out of interest, do you know what the maximum thickness is that they can hold? Technically these details should be provided with the manufacturers description. I would be interested in a couple should they stretch enough.
Thanks

@BitcoinHodler
90% of trading transactions take place on an exchanges like Bitfinex(middleman?) ect. the price of bitcoin is like with all other assets etc.. it is purely driven by supply and demand yes ,..
but what makes you pull the trigger ? to either sell or buy?
i will bet my ass that you expect to price either do a,b or c before and after you pull the trigger , am i right ?
@AT101ET what a majority of masses are attracted at this stage to get into bitcoin are the potential profits one could make and nothing more most people (masses) dont care about the 'technology' behind bitcoin but how much profit they coud make at this stage
and that will only change if ever , if bitcoin is actually so far accepted till one gets paid in bitcoin , pay rent and buy groceries with bitcoin.. and we are far far away from that.. true till then a mass adoption is only driven by dollar signs in ones eyes...
and thats why i wrote the most conservative ROI with a slight edge to the upside is buy and hold physical bitcoins and wait till the wild west dust is settled ....
cheers
Well if that's your main point then I'd say you're still incorrect. If people are only buying into BTC for a quick turn of profit then buying physical coins is not advisable. The price of Casascius coins is determined by the supply/demand at the time of sale. Additionally, selling a Casascius coin would be more difficult than selling BTC itself. You could easily sell BTC online with the click of a few buttons but selling a collectible often takes time. So for those who are only into BTC from a financial/investment perspective, it'd be better to just buy BTC and store online/offline under they're ready to sell.

You're looking at this from the wrong perspective. Bitcoin shouldn't be regarded as a financial investment but rather an investment in Bitcoin itself and its technology. The Blockchain still has lots of potential and it's still only early days. As with every investment, you only play with money you're not fussed about losing. In that case it should make no difference in how you invest and hold your BTC.

May I ask where this cannabis farm will be located? Do you have a license to grow it on a commercial scale? What kind of partnership will this be. How will you ensure that the investors actually see a return on their initial investment? Without his being legal and on the books I don't see how this would work.

Absolutely stunning piece! I love how the art just pops out. I'm really tempted but probably shouldn't. I'm terrible with saving BTC. Somehow I'm amazing at spending it ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Good luck with the sales. I'll definitely be watching this closely.

So in other words something like the yellow pages for Bitcoin? Who would you be targeting exactly? Would you include all businesses and services that accept BTC as a form of payment or wholly integrated BTC businesses only (market specific)? I think that'll make a huge difference to both the amount of work needed and the type of site you'd be developing.

It's definitely possible to do and shouldn't actually take long. Someone who has decent CAD skills could build a model in a relatively short period of time assuming he has accurate product dimensions. Once he's completed the drawing he could upload it for people to print off on their own devices or use local 3D printers to print it. If there was enough demand then perhaps you could start a small fund to pay for the CAD technician's fee.

In all honesty, the poster is too cluttered that I stopped reading it pretty quickly. The information needs to be condensed and formatted so that it is appeasing to look at. The poor colour contrast and endless text is kind of off putting. Although it's a good start it could definitely do with some changes.

it sucks how many coins are stolen by postal services and that is when they dont know much of bitcoin yet, maybe some do..
It's best to not mention anything related to bitcoin on package
Hope you find it
I don't think that the postal service workers are targeting these packages because they contain physical Bitcoins. Sometimes you can just feel that the item being sent is a coin and sometimes workers are tempted into thinking that they're rare and collectible coins that can be sold for a quick profit. To be honest, I don't think they know what the coins are until they search for them online at which point they don't realise their mistake. Given that the coins have public addresses and first keys it would make flipping them more difficult. The best way to avoid this happening is by disguising what you're sending. For example, put coins in between card to prevent the coin shape protruding through the envelope. Alternatively, use thicker and padded packaging materials etc.

DO NOT BUY FROM HIM! I buy 2 days ago from him iPhone and he ban my account on forum and ignore all messages. This is everything false on his webpage few ppl contact with me who get scammed too - he block ppl account and later change password and put possitive feedback from transaction but this is all not true! This is link to my transaction on his forum: http://darkmarket.su/thread-29445.htmlPossible he delete this so i do screenshot here: https://taken.pl/SCAM/He use this wallet to steal money: 16B96ZuXp3ovASNomLi4uZcbDNjNNurDC6 And this is my transaction for 0.31BTC 2 days ago: https://blockchain.info/pl/tx/e567f6833afc24b59afff941fc5470928749e520d08c1a9289bd73c1e63db8d3z33atn IS A SCAMMER ! Edit: Now he blackmail me - he want public my address to my home if i don`t stop report him as scammer to all forums - so i give You i have nothing to hide, take a look at 8.png :-) If you want more info my e-mail: admin[at]wset.edu.pl Best Regards! Ps. i got it his IP address :-) He enter to webside where i put screens :-) Tags: z33atn SCAM IPHONE APPLE There are a bunch of similar websites/forums to the one you posted above. They are all massive scams. The admins/moderators vouch for certain sellers and then when you place your order you don't get anything in return. If you try complaining or posting a scam accusation on the forum the moderators will just remove it and ban you. The forums have been set up to make it look legitimate but it's far from it. Never trust any of those sites. Always use a reputable escrow and when the deal in question sounds too good to be true then it probably is.
