17281  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jihan Wu to speak at "Future of Bitcoin" conference (Livestream) on: June 30, 2017, 01:12:36 PM
Livestream youtube.  Jihan Wu should be speaking within the hour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAcOnvOVquo

Is he going to speak after an hour exactly? Or is it just after the current speaker finished his turn?

I'm not going to say which side I'm going to be in, but this is going to be an interesting watch that's for sure. (especially the comments section if enough people will watch it).
17282  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: free electicity, what's next? on: June 30, 2017, 12:33:32 PM
hi all,
i am new to bitcoin mining, after reading many and many topics i found that electricity is one of the major factors to make mining profitable. i have free electricity (legit way) and some computers (10 maybe with AMD Radeon HD 6450 as graphic card and i3/i5 cpu), so, is there anyway to gain profit from that?
any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Can you specify how you got free electicity? Do you live with your family?

Anyway, that's a huge cost off your profit calculation. Definitely alot easier to profit off that. I suggest investing on a better graphics card though. Unfortunately I can't help you with what specific graphics cards to buy, but it's easy to research on that.

Also, use http://coinwarz.com ; it has good calculators to compute for profits and for what specific cryptocurrency.

What nuances and secrets you know


Some solutions are, using a paper wallet, and using a cold storage (keeping your bitcoin completely offline). Personally I would go with hardcore wallet (Trezor, Ledger Nano S, Keepkey) as I like to move my cryptocurrencies online, and I think this is also an easy answer for newbies when wanting to secure your coins.
17284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Afraid of August One? on: June 30, 2017, 05:20:47 AM
I'm actually thinking about moving all my bitcoins to altcoins so I can have a peace of mind. Lol. It's still a month from now and it's already bugging me alot. I think it will either crash hard or rise hard. Not sure though, since segwit2x is on the lead. But I think I'll play it safe for now.
17285  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Remote desktop on: June 30, 2017, 04:32:29 AM
Can you specify what remote desktop you're using?

Thinking about it, the only possible problem is either your remote desktop service bugging out, or your internet connection cut off of a few minutes. We need to know what service your using. What I personally use though, is TeamViewer and Google Remote Desktop. Never had problem with either. Try them out:

17286  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Risk management. on: June 29, 2017, 04:39:03 PM
Does anybody knows how I can do daily trading of Btc and still make daily income? Please I need a good response.

Study the charts. Make educated and well-though decisions and predictions. Just like trading stocks, trading crypto also has risks, and the only way for you to decrease the risks is to read the charts. A good site for this and other crypto is http://coinmarketcap.com

Don't expect trading to be an easy daily income if you don't know what you're doing.
17287  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What percentage of traders profit? on: June 29, 2017, 03:32:16 PM
This will depend on the traders I think. Because there are some traders buying altcoins for short term and long term, both of this two you can get profit. If you try in a short term there are traders get profit from 5%-15% but in a long term from 500%-1000%.

Yes this is valid for traders, but I don't believe most of them are losing a lot. In pump times, all positions earned something but it lasted. Now, not more than 25% should be winning.

I believe the only ones that are really losing money are the ones that who just buys because of the hype, then panic sells when a dip in the price occurs. In my opinion the chances of you losing money when holding for the long run is really really REALLY low. That's why this is the type of investment I'm going for. High chances of profit and higher profits in general.
17288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proof that Crime isn't Why they Hate Bitcoin. on: June 29, 2017, 02:16:19 PM
Most Bitcoin critics often cite crime as reason for wanting Bitcoin obliterated. I doubt crime is the real reason. . It could well just be a subconscious thing they have no control over::  like Hatred for the weak, poor and middle class,  Preference for elitism, fascism and dictatorship,

PROOF:
Tools like VPNs and Proxies almost have thesame capability as Bitcoin but you hardly hear the complain about them.


To be honest, most people with this weird ideology don't really have problems with people becoming financially independent . Their problem is just the FREEDOM money brings to people. They wouldn't give a damn about your wealth so long as you are totally under their control.

They have the same capability what?

Well yea, if you're speaking about using vpns, proxies, amd bitcoins for anonymity, then you may have a point. But guess what. Some proxy and vpn provides can sell their customer's info to the feds or whatever authority.

Also, critics/skeptics that hate bitcoin because of it being used for crimes are probably just uneducated when talking about cryptocurrencies.
17289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason that keeps me from investing in bitcoin on: June 29, 2017, 12:15:09 PM
Yes. The transactions are a bit slow and expensive. But who says that can't be fixed? That's exactly what bitcoin's developers are for.

Also, the slow and expensive transaction fees should be a good sign because it can be caused by more and more bitcoiners using the system. And we ain't even reached mass adoption yet! Imagine what the future prices would be. You don't need to be a good businessman or a good investor to realize this.

You might be a bitcointalk user if..

You know the meaning of HODL and you knoa how and where it started.
17291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the current price drop considered a normal phenomenon? on: June 29, 2017, 07:35:22 AM
It sure definitely is. Price drops and rises, big or small, has been happening since forever in the crypto world. You don't even need to be in the industry for long to see this whatever the altcoin. You can always look at the past charts. coinmarketcap.com
17292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good coins to buy? on: June 29, 2017, 04:02:45 AM
**This is my First post - Please move this post to the correct section if I posted in the wrong place or reposting**

What are the good coins to buy?

I just made up my CEX.IO account and bought BTC.
now I would like to buy some other coins by paying BTC.

any help?

My suggestion would be to do your own research. Just go to http://coinmarketcap.com/ and do research on the top 20 or even maybe top 50 altcoins if you have the time, and then invest from there on what altcoins you think has the best potential.

Personally I would go with eth, sia, golem, xmr, ltc, and ans. Those are my picks and in my opinion has great potential in the next few months or years. What's yours?
17293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cyber attackers asking for $300 in bitcoin on: June 28, 2017, 05:00:07 PM
SIDE NOTE: Why $300? As ransom-ware spreads the asking ransom prices have converged on $300.  I wonder if that has been determined to be the sweet spot? Not too high, not too low.

 Huh

I think this certain ransomware is planning on targeting like personal computers and those small businesses, not corporations, hospitals, and bigger companies, hence the low $300 compared to the past $1000 or more demands. I'm not 100% sure about this, though. Also, I think $300 is the price whereas businesses or companies will be like "let's just pay this ransom instead of spending hours and hours doing backups and restores", it's just that it has a higher chance of the victim paying up I think.
17294  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: freze ? on: June 28, 2017, 04:17:49 PM
i heard it a lot that feds caught come criminals or online vendors of drugs & freeze their BTC

i am not sure how they do it ?

can anyone explain it ?

Yes. The government/feds can catch criminals, drug addicts, drug pushers, drug lords online even on the dark web for buying and or selling drugs. I think they can only freeze your bitcoin account if you're using an account from coinbase or a similar service.

How? Probably intercepted shipments. They probably have trained dogs to spot drug contained packages. Then the feds would look for similar packages and find where they're coming from. By then, they would just wait for the seller to send another package. then boom. got'em.
17295  Other / Off-topic / Re: BitcoinTalk Addict.. on: June 28, 2017, 12:52:19 PM
Before I knew bitcoins and cryptocurrency, I was already a forum addict. I was browsing like 5 forums a day, with various communities, niches, and topics. And then a few years ago I discovered bitcoins and crypto in general.. and before I knew it the forums I visit doubled. I now visit 8-10 forums a day. Plus reddit.

I need to stop spending too much time in forums that's for sure.
17296  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who else is sick of these BTM fees. on: June 28, 2017, 08:07:07 AM
At first I was also excited when BTM's started showing up. But I just realized immediately that they provide the same price increases (200-250 USD). The sad part is they claim that they have "2% cuts". But they din't indicate the enormous addition in their prices.

Like, I don't blame them that much, since if you look at their point of view, it is a business, and they put up BTM's not really for easier access to bitcoins but they put them up for them to profit. I'm actually fine with that if the increase was just like $50 or something close to that. They're just taking advantage because there are only few accessible BTM's in most places.

They simply need more competition boys and girls.
17297  Other / Off-topic / Re: Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift? on: June 28, 2017, 06:44:18 AM
To be honest, I honestly would want to(in the future). The issue is that it is very unlikely that my future wife would look at bitcoin the same way as I do. Unless I marry a nerdy girlfriend, she definitely won't be interested in it. You know most girls, they prefer shiny jewelry.
17298  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Mining on: June 27, 2017, 06:23:20 PM
I need some tips on mining BTC.I am very new to this Forum

It seems you are new to bitcoin, and wanted to go with mining immediately. I suggest learning about bitcoin and a bit of it's background first before getting into mining. Invest like a weekend for studying what bitcoin and cryptocurrency is. Alot of free information on the internet, here's a good guide compilation:

17299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One Address VS Multi Addresses on: June 27, 2017, 05:10:08 PM
I personally use multiple addresses. I have one for personal spending, one for savings, one for accepting donations. It's just alot more organized when using multiple addresses. Also, this is so people can't see how much all your bitcoins are, which is the case when using only a single address.

Using only one address is only beneficial in a way that you only have to only watch a single address.
17300  Economy / Speculation / Re: should i buy or sell today on: June 27, 2017, 12:38:44 PM
I am struggling making money with bitcoin trading, what is today's outcome?

Honestly. If we knew with 100% certainty then we would br billionaires. Look at the charts yourself. Have a feel and make a small prediction on where the price will go.

Never invest more than you are willing to lose.
