17021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: For fun (everywhere): ‘Buy Bitcoin’ Sign on: August 12, 2017, 02:18:26 PM
I couldn't find a picture of it, but he has his wallet address behind his sign as shown on the livestream, so pretty much we know what his intentions were, to monetize from the publicity hes getting.

I'm very active in the DOTA2 community, and I've read multiple posts about that guy with the "Buy Bitcoin" sign. You thought he would get praise like the guy who first did the publicity stunt during Fed Chair Janet Yellen's testimony right? Wrong. Most of the replies I've read on the Dota2 subreddit towards this guy were negative. So yes, even though people from the cryptocurrency community might be celebrating what he did, we're actually getting a bad rap from people outside our community. Which is the exact opposite of what we wanted to achieve.

go to bitminer.io there you get free btc but need to be upgrage to earn more

From the website url itself it already looks fishy. So to OP, no. Do not use this site as it's 90% likely to be a ponzi scheme, and also stay away from other investment sites and cloud mining sites. So if you want to earn, either join a signature campaign (you're rank is too low for signature campaigns to be worth it), do cryptocurrency trading, or buy cryptocurrencies and invest. If you're planning on joining a signature campaign, atleast aim for jr member or full member first as you won't be making much as a newbie.
17023  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitfinex is dropping their US customers on: August 12, 2017, 10:09:04 AM
Bitfinex can go to hell.

What am I supposed to do with my portfolio on Bitfinex?

Maybe.. withdraw your portfolio? Grin You're talking as if Bitfinex ran away with your cryptocurrencies. Make it a habit of reading the actual article(s) instead of just reading the headlines and react immediately. I really expect alot more from a legendary member.

"Furthermore, over the next 90 days, we will be discontinuing services to our existing U.S. individual customers"


Well, I do see this as a bad think neither for US people not for the rest of us. If a service acts like that as is afraid of being taken down, this usually means they have something to hide or they re involved in some illegal shit. Why would I use that kind of service? Crypto s NOT about scamming people and doing market manipulation.

So I d say, fuck you Bitfinex. I m from Europe and your ban does not apply to me (yet) but you will not see a single satoshi from me.
I wouldn't jump into conclusions that fast. Don't forget that the US government can pull off random reasons just to shut down businesses, not to mention we're talking about cryptocurrencies here. Which they might see as competition or a threat to their fiat. Also, maybe they're gonna disallow US citizens because of the same reason why ICOs are not allowed in the US?
17024  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is there a market for this? on: August 12, 2017, 10:01:14 AM
Anyone has a screenshot of Yunbi? It's currently under maintenance. I wanted to see it's user interface. It's logo looks like the eSports organization, Cloud9  Grin

Anyway, you said that one of your "niche" would be to add more trading pairs for Tether(USDT). This is a nice feature, since I don't think most exchanges have this. If I'm not wrong, most exchange sites only has BTC:USDT, ETH:USDT, and LTC:USDT. Also take into consideration that what if, shortly after your exchange site is up, the top exchanges also implemented more trading pairs for USDT? How would you drive people to use your service then?

Yes, no trading fees is a very good feature in my opinion, but I don't think that itself would attract most traders, as probably only the bigger traders are going to take advantage of this. Just my 2 cents.
17025  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Multiple Sig Bounties on: August 12, 2017, 09:40:25 AM
My Friend told me you can join only one campaign at the time
Create more acc to join multiple signature campaign
But you can join multiple facebook and Twitter campaign at the same time

Creating more than one account just to spam join signature campaigns is frowned upon here in bitcointalk. Not to mention creating more than one account means you have to post twice as more, hence most likely significantly decreasing your post quality. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the admins in this forum has a way to affiliate your main account to you alt accounts through your IP. I'm also not sure if campaign managers has access to this information though.

Also, enrolling on signature using multiple accounts are not allowed on most(if not all) signature campaigns. Here's one of ChipMixer's rules:

5. Enrolling alts will result in both of your accounts removed without payment.
17026  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you Panic? on: August 12, 2017, 06:22:06 AM
oh how I still vividly remember my daytrading days.. Everytime I see very small dips in the price graphs, I actually always feel the urge to panic sell. Same thing with small price rises, the urge to panic buy is also there. To sum it all up, I was very impatient. Hence obviously, I was losing alot more than I was profiting. Never again. I know better now, I only trade sort of semi-longterm(one trade a week or so). That way, the risks are way lower than daytrading.

Not saying that daytrading can't be profitable though. It definitely can, if you know what you're doing.
17027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How ATM bitcoin work??? on: August 12, 2017, 04:33:42 AM
It's pretty much just like the traditional ATMs you see everywhere. You simply insert your fiat bills, then you use the bitcoin ATMs QR scanner to scan your bitcoin wallet's QR code. Then poof. You just bought bitcoin. Same with vice versa. I'm not just sure what the fees are, at it's probably different on each ATM service.

Here's a video of it: https://youtu.be/xajKjxxRL04
17028  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Realistic Income As a Crypto Trader on: August 12, 2017, 03:52:14 AM
There is no like a certain amount you can earn with cryptocurrency trading. It's almost like asking how much you can win via playing poker or whatever gambling game people play these days. Because it's also somewhat a gamble. There is no way for you to like predict with 100% certainty what the prices will be throughout the day/week/month/year. Since you said you're a trader, you probably already know this but there are also chances of you losing money. There are simply just a lot of factors that decides if you make a profit or loss, or how much that profit/loss will be for you to know how much you're gonna earn/lose per month. Your possible monthly/annual income is just simply -$9,999,999 to $9,999,999 per month depending on your budget. Not to mention crypto's volatility. High profits and high losses are to be expected.
17029  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: August 12, 2017, 03:05:29 AM
Might be shift in customer from bitmixer to chipmixer have increased the amount of donation they are getting from few big users.
After bitmixer closure volume went up and donations went up but support requests went up (customers were used to simpler mixing process) and donation percentage went down (customers were used to automatic fee deduction).

We are thinking about adding ChipMixerLite version that would work exactly like old BitMixer - you send output addresses, receive signed contract, send coins and wait a few hours to get them. The good part would be simplicity. The bad part would be split of mixers volume and less privacy. What do you think about it?

Honestly i don't think it's a good idea.

Chipmixer is a brand by itself and is the first to use private keys directly as a mixing tool to achieve 100% anonymity. Having a chipmixerlite will only confuse users, and probably create a split between the pathways to take which is not good.

I would consider adding a minimum fee instead of donation because as you said a lot of people from Bitmixer are used to having a mandatory fee charged alongside with their mixing process. After all you do need to pay for the transaction fees when you transfer funds into individual chips, pay for server, support, and advertising costs.

Personally, I think implementing a similar system for the old BitMixer is a good idea. Some people simply wan't their cryptocurrencies to be untraceable via block explorers, and nothing else beyond that. Though I agree with you that it can cause confusion, especially to the newer or older cryptocurrency crowd.

This ofcourse can be implemented successfully though. Maybe add a small comparison section between ChipMixer and ChipMixerLite on the home page of  chipmixer.com? Or maybe just add a slider on the top-right hand corner of the Step 1 deposit page, like YouTube's autoplay slider. Probably left for ChipMixer and right for ChipMixerLite?
17030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE TOP 3 COINS THIS YEAR? on: August 11, 2017, 06:41:30 PM
It's pretty hard to say as of now. What I'm only kinda sure of is bitcoin will still be number 1 for this year, or atleast on top 3 via coinmarketcap, since personally I think it's possible for bitcoin to be overtaken by maybe a better cryptocurrency in the future. The competitive spot would be number 2 or number 3, whereas I think the cryptocurrencies that would be fighting for that spot would be Bitcoin Cash(BCC/BCH), Monero(XMR), Ethereum(ETH), Litecoin(LTC), Dash(DASH), and IOTA. Yes. IOTA. Who knows though, a brand new cryptocurrency that isn't currently invented yet will arise maybe a year later that could steal one of the top 3 spots.
17031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Maketh a Good Currency? on: August 11, 2017, 06:25:04 PM
In short, Bitcoin price is far from stable. And if Bitcoin is deflationary, everybody will hoard it and nobody will use it as a currency.
Everybody just holding bitcoin is quite an assumption. Alot of people are using bitcoin as payments already. One of which is through Bitpay, which is being used on eCommerce stores today. Everyday stores are slowly and surely accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payments. But yes, bitcoin has alot of investors that just simply holds them and doing nothing.

If it is inflationary, what difference it is from any other fiat currencies?
If ever bitcoin becomes inflationary, you still can't compare bitcoin to fiat, since bitcoin being not inflationary is only one of many of the advantages of bitcoin. You're forgetting some other important factors of bitcoin: being decentralized, somewhat anonymous(to an extent), secure due to encryption, etc. Does fiat have those characteristics? Nope.

Will Bitcoin Maketh a Good Currency? It's currently very debatable. Since some people look at bitcoin only as store value and not as a transaction currency. One thing is for sure, only time will tell.
17032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen if 21 million bitcoins are already mined? on: August 11, 2017, 06:04:06 PM
 Grin  Why would they cap bitcoin to 21 million if it would die if that number is reached? You guessed it right though, bitcoin will most likely be non-volatile or at least less volatile after we reached 21 million. That will take alot of years more from now though. We definitely won't reach 21 million soon as more and more bitcoins are mined, the less bitcoins miners are making. What we currently don't know is that, will mining still be profitable after we reached the cap? Also, I've read a post in Reddit in the past, saying that we would reach 99% of the total bitcoin cap at around 2032. Not sure if that prediction is accurate though, time will tell.

And yes, like the others said, miners will not be able to mine new bitcoins again, as all their income will be solely be from transaction fees we're paying.
17033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HBO is trying to get $250,000 in bitcoin to pay hackers who stole GoT scripts on: August 11, 2017, 03:41:10 PM
Yep. Bad publicity for bitcoin again. Once again news affiliated with crime.  Sad

I found this news funny though. I've seen alot of posts about this news on Facebook and YouTube. Looks like HBO is in panic, whereas people in the comments of Facebook are begging the hackers to release the scripts instead. LOL. Looks like they're not getting the script though. Me personally I am also interested in the script as I am quite a GoT fan eversince.  Grin One last thing. HBO should have known better lol. Why is their data so vulnerable? As it seems like the hackers aren't like "big time" hackers, as the ransom is quite small in my opinion, compared to other leaks.

Dude. You're planning on investing a million dollars but you don't want to do the effort to do some research but instead ask to be spoonfed in forums? Well that's definitely one way to lose money. Do some research. Read some articles, watch some YouTube videos, try contacting miners from China, etc. The internet is literally infront of you.

Here are some resources you can use:

17035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how do you predict a coin price ??? on: August 11, 2017, 12:18:20 PM
There are alot of factors that can affect the price of cryptocurrencies.

1. News: always be updated on the news, join the subreddit of that certain cryptocurrency so you know if there's a new update or collaboration with a certain company/organization.

2. Looking at exchange sites: look at the offers and the buy/sell walls on exchanges for you to have an idea on how much and how many people are buying and selling at certain price points.

3. Hype: one of the main indicators of price rises. If you see so much people hyping up a certain cryptocurrency on Facebook groups, Slack groups, Telegram groups, etc, then expect a cryptocurrency to pump in price or atleast have a small bump in price.

These are just some things that can help you predict prices. But there signs aren't 100% guatanteed to help you predict price rises and drops.
17036  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are your strategies to make money in cryptocurrency? Heres mine: on: August 11, 2017, 11:05:00 AM
My strategy is to buy at the bottom and sell it on the top, it is not working always because the price of a coin doesn't go to the bottom so i am just buying at the dips or lower prices and i am selling it on a high price or expensive price to earn some profit.

Thats what we are all trying to do... sounds easy, but it isnt Sad

Well, I'm definitely not the best when talking about trading cryptocurrencies, but I think I've learned alot due to my mistakes and losses in the past. Day trading cryptocurrencies is definitely not for the impatient. Being very impatient can cause you to panic buy and panic sell alot due to thinking "omg it's crashing, I need to sell it asap before it goes lower". Then what happens after you sold your coins? It goes back up. Same with vice versa.
17037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers are active these days. on: August 11, 2017, 10:07:59 AM
You doing bitcoin transactions doesn't make you more or less vulnerable to hackers. You probably heard that warning lastlast week when the fork was happening, since your bitcoins can get stuck because of long transaction times. In terms of protecting yourself, your best bet is to purchase a hardware wallet; If you have one, you're pretty much safe as long as you backup the phrases and leave them somewhere no one except yourself has access to. I will link them below. They might cost a bit for you, but trust me. Better safe than sorry. You can lookup reviews on Reddit or YouTube videos for you to decide easily on which one to purchase.

17038  Economy / Speculation / Re: $3500 on: August 11, 2017, 08:59:40 AM
Come on, be patient. We went up from $2700 to $3400 in less than a month. That's a huge percentage Tongue. We're kinda moving up too fast, I'm probably expecting a small correction soon.

Based on some of the comments though, it has already reached $3500. Sounds like it just dipped again slightly due to people selling and it will go back up soon most probably. I think it will take some time to reach $4000 though, as I'm quite sure alot of people has trigger sells set at that price and also some would dump a bit of their holdings on that price.

When will we see? Price seems to get stuck just below.

haha, I am actually watching the market right now, LIVE Cheesy
price went up to $3500 but somebody decided it is a good time to unload some bitcoin so he sold 43BTC in one order (possibly a bot or a trigger or something) and price dropped with the follow up of 18, 1.5 and couple of smaller sells.
... now back at $3470 and creeping up again.

I bet hes gonna be beating himself up after seeing it rise higher than $3500 soon.
17039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Don't Understand What's Behind Bitcoin - Howard Marks on: August 11, 2017, 07:48:18 AM
It really just sounds like Howard Marks hasn't done his research on what bitcoin is and what it's goals are. He is right on one thing though, that bitcoin is just commonly used for trading, as even though stores/companies are slowly but surely adopting bitcoin, only a small minority is using bitcoin as a payment option at the moment. Usually on 1st world countries like in the US or countries like China, but it's barely used on 3rd world countries.
17040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Blockchain the biggest invention of internet? on: August 11, 2017, 06:52:26 AM
Not the biggest technological invention as of date, but definitely one of the biggest inventions in general since the past decade in my opinion (excluding medical and pharmaceutical inventions/dicoveries, ofcourse). and I think bitcoin, or blockchain technology in general is at that stage the same as the internet before whereas only technological savvy people are the only users of the internet, and hopefully bitcoin and blockchain technology in general would be newbie-friendly in the future like how newbie-friendly the internet is right now. The future is looking bright.  Smiley
