17661  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy bitcoin with credit card on: April 17, 2015, 07:38:55 AM
I would recommend virwox to buy bitcoin with credit cards or paypal because it's really simple and fast to buy them there.

fees are too high, better to use a standard exchange that send your money directly to your bank account and then use the credit card associated to it, or use paypal and then transfer your money to one of your attacched cards, but there is the chargeback problem...

or if you don't mind sharing your id, there are plenty of credit card for btc now , xapo/bit-x ecc...
17662  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many bitcoins do I need to retire in 20 years? on: April 17, 2015, 07:35:36 AM
dunno why people quote the 10k/per coin figure as some sort of a holy grail. Not enough. I wouldn't be satisfied with less than 30k/coin

because 100 btc for 10k result in a good amount to retire, it makes a good equilibrium, 100 btc are not impossible to achieve(i'm speaking for a poor people that start now to collect bitcoin, not a rich guy...), and 10k have the same chance to be reached


But like it has been pointed out, 100 BTC "for poor people" is only achiveable if we stay in the current price for a long time, at least 5 years. If we are 5 years at 1k+, then its impossible to amass 100.

well we already more than 1 year at current value, they should have amassed 20 btc at least by now, the price should stay the same for at least another year, until the halving or near it, they have time for 50 btc, should be enough for plenty of poors people, if btc skyrocket in the future...
17663  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: how much can you make weekly? on: April 17, 2015, 07:33:42 AM
Wait wait wait, with 3 different accounts??? How can you handle that, and how about the limit post/ip???
And, is it legal  Huh

In theory, nothing stops you from having multiple accounts in this forum (it isn't against forum rules), and using them all to join signature campaigns. In practice however, there are a couple of limitations, I suppose: as you mentioned, handling several accounts and posting with them all is probably time consuming, and will likely get you banned, if post quality is poor; and some campaign managers don't like that, and will deny you payment if you get caught doing it.

So we can just use multiple account with our own risk to get banned or anything Shocked
You can try to get into a campaign with multiple accounts but I wouldn't recommend that since it's against the signature campaign rules. Try to play  fair and only use 1 account for signatures campaign, it's worth the risk you can earn more with 1 account than multiple accounts and get banned.

I agree. I didn't even know multiple accounts for posting was a thing until I saw them being sold. I can only see sense in buying them if you need to "level up" yourself or buying it for somebody.
Being fair is better for you own profit, you won't have a risk of getting banned, you earn more and don't waste much time. All over it's better to just use one single account for your signature campaign participation.

As far as my knowledge about the forum rules go, account farming isn't strictly prohibited. Actually, it is stated in the Forum Rules:

Quote
18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

So that means that you can create multiple accounts, post using multiple accounts, and join signature campaigns with multiple accounts. As long as you abide by the forum rules, you haven't got anything to worry about (though I'm not entirely sure about joining signature campaigns with multiple accounts. Better ask the staffs and mods).

what about dev of signature campaign, recognize your style of writing? you could get a negative trust besides the ban, not worth it i think, or you should be really careful if you want to do something like this, it's not that easy especially if you run more than two(like 5-10)

Creating multiple accounts and joining a signature campaign is kinda dumb if you'd ask me, because honestly, joining in a campaign that is a pay-per-post and doesn't have limits on posting is already a good campaign. Why bother creating multiple accounts and post simultaneously and switch whenever you feel you're done? That seems to be wasting a lot of time. Also, I can see users earn to almost half a bitcoin every week. Cheesy

but it does make sense with campaign like dadice for example or any other with limit, and now i understand why bit-x carry no limit, they want to avoid account spam
17664  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: April 17, 2015, 07:27:56 AM
Well, in theory bitcoins have some advantages over standard gold. I will try to name some of them.

Unlike gold, bitcoins are:

1. Easy to transfer (worldwide transfers in seconds!)
2. Easy to secure (you don't have to build a safe to store bitcoin!)
3. Easy to verify (you don't need to be a goldsmith!)
4. Easy to granulate (how are you going to divide your gold ring?)

So in theory bitcoin is a better choice. The pros of Bitcoin definitely outweigh the cons.


If you start to weigh advantages over disadvantages, Gold will come on top.

1. Gold can be bought and sold in any country. And gold is more or less bought for investment and the people who buy it don't really have the need to transfer it worldwide. But when the need to do so arise it can be liquidated faster than Bitcoin.

2. Gold can be bought/sold on bullion exchange, so you don't have to build a safe to store it.

3. If you purchase gold from registered sellers/banks, it comes with certificates of it's authenticity, so you don't really need to be a goldsmith to verify it.

4. You're confusing gold bought for jewellery (as ring, lockets etc) with what we are discussing here, gold as an investment. And if you buy gold for the latter, it can be cut into pieces and sold as per the needs.

5. Gold can be confiscated easily by border patrol gangsters

6. Gold can be easily robbed from vaults by the government

7. A car full of gold is pretty suspicious, cops will seize that immediately, even if you have a few bars in your pocket.

8. Government can steal all the gold in your house.

They can do none of that with bitcoin. So which one you choose?  Cheesy

also gold is too bulky to carry around, not really easy to carry from one place to another, not manageable, too slow, while bitcoin is much faster and comfortable to use

this alone makes bitcoin x100 better
17665  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Need PSU for Antminer S3+ on: April 17, 2015, 07:22:44 AM
i would suggest a better psu then cx series by corsair, like RM 450-550, they offer at least better efficiency, and they are fully modular
17666  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining Requirements on: April 17, 2015, 07:17:17 AM
I dont recomend buying a bitcoin. The price has been decreasing for much time now.

that's is exactly the reason to buy bitcoin, or you are telling me that you buy high/sell low, i would  not be surprised...

mining is miles ahead worse then buying right now
17667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinions on Online Gambling and Bitcoin on: April 17, 2015, 07:12:22 AM
Government isn't needed.

You just need a trust worthy and good admin.

Just-dice is prime really

i would say that any human isn't needed, better to invest in some serious automatized super bot, that can do the escrow, for problem related to "Lies" from one of the two part that are selling/buying, you can rely on sign by both

for example if one of the two say that it's item is no arrived, you know he is talking no-sense because he signed the package from the courier, ecc...
17668  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a coin that is primarily a store-of-value succeed? on: April 17, 2015, 07:09:20 AM
why don't you use a bitcoin service that locks your bitcoins value? that way you get a store of value with bitcoin

i can't recall any service like that, and it could potentially go against the bitcoin decentralization, because a service like that will probably be centralized...

17671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think quantum computers would break Bitcoin's security? on: April 17, 2015, 06:41:48 AM
there are many quote that say otherwise, so no i'm not wrong at all, for a quantum computer brute-forcing a 256 key is like for a normal computer brute-forcing 128 key, it's like dividing by two(the exponent not the number, so is equal to a root square of it), this should be clear, and with that in mind you could deduce easily, that a 128 key for a quantum computer is equal to a 64 key for a modern computer, and a 64 key can be brute-forced with a normal computer(not just one i know, but a very big farm can do it)

just simple logic, you don't need to search for anything to deduce this...
It's actually the other way around. A 128 bit key for a computer is a 64 bit key for a quantum computer. You obviously didn't understand my previous post.
This is theoretical and does not matter at the time. Doing such calculations is currently not possible. Humanity isn't even really near this achievement.

It is better to avoid replying to a thread, than to make bad (due to language or problems understanding) statements.

The original one was posted here and probably a few dozen other places as well.  I thought the background looked a little dull, so I made my own version.
This doesn't apply to quantum computers. If we could get a quantum computer to operate at the same speeds that we get even mobile processors today we should be able to breach SHA256 with brute force since it is like a 128 bit key for it.

no you are reading that in a wrong way, i said that a 128 key for a quantum is like a 64 for a standard pc, in the sense that a standard pc can break 64 and a QC can break 128

now, public key are 128 bit, instead private key are 256, so the first can be brute forced by any quantum computer, and if you have that key you could retrieve the private key, but this only if the targeted public key is send when you spend a transaction

here a link http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/6062/what-effects-would-a-scalable-quantum-computer-have-on-bitcoin

there are many other confirming this
To summarize: You're wrong. Existing implementations have not shown that they can beat 128bit encryption. They aren't even close. That's the current situation. I'm not saying that in 5 years we won't have better technology. We might operate with 1400 qubits or be stuck at 140. Nobody really knows.

well my intention was not say that it could break sha256, but all i want to said, is that it could break 128 key, that's it, there is nothing flawed about my logic

I bought RAM memory ages ago but it was regularly with dollars.
Im waiting for ebay to adopt BTC so I can buy literally anything I want with it.

then you need to wait for paypal and everything will be bought with bitcoin, but personally i'm still waiting for amazon, which could really make the difference if btc would be adopted by them

17677  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's the Blockchain, and Why Does Bitcoin Depend On It? on: April 16, 2015, 05:20:15 PM
a thing to note, is that if bitcoin could work without the blockchain, it would be completely anonymous, definitely 100%

also another little off-topic note(but worth consideration), the first comment is the reason for the slow adoption

"last time i checked, it was also pretty easy to send USD, EUR, JPY , etc electronically."
17678  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Withdrawl to a third party account? on: April 16, 2015, 04:52:29 PM
unless i'm missing something, you can use any exchange that don't require id to do this, convert there btc and send them to your debit card

Thanks

Could you please help a newbie out and tell me which exchanges don't require ID?

Happy to receive this info via PM and of course, I understand using anonymous exchanges like this is entirely at my own risk

Regards

D

they are well known exchange, just the one that i'm aware, but there could be others:

kraken(under 2000 usd), bitfinex(i'm not registered here i don't know their max without id) and coinimal(under 500 USD)

keep in mind that while they not require id for a certain amount, in your country your taxman is controlling every international move also, so if they see a big incoming amount of money from foreign country they will make  a control on your bank account
17679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anonymity In Bitcoin Should Be Upheld on: April 16, 2015, 04:47:17 PM
in this world if you want one thing you will miss another, you can't have both anonimity and security, who want anonimity will be seen as a crimninal or tax evader, but not all want anon for doing bad illegal activity, some of them are just protecting their privacy

bitcoin should definitely aim at full anonimity, who want more security will not use it or will not use the anon part of bitcoin(by simply registering every move he does, talking about taxes, here but it could apply for everything)

this is the only way to have both things, let the people can choose, is the key
