Trade or sell goods something that can be used for many purposes by using bitcoin payment or make services such as design drawings or other creative ideas

Or if you know how to make those signature graphics for the site, why not offer that in the Services forum. There are maybe only 2 or 3 people doing that. I sure theres room for 1 more to compete with them. When BTC starts to boom again to +2000, there could be more signature campaigns coming to promote their businesses.

Oh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I wish you good luck nevertheless and I hope you and your team will reach your goals and enjoy much success in the future.

One thing I want to know from you is what is your stance on the scaling debate? Are you for Bitcoin Unlimited or for activating Segregated Witness?

For those who suggested Poloniex or Bittrex or both, please tell us why you think their graphs and charts are good. Those charts I see are very limited and they dont have enough tools and indicators to help you in deciding when to buy and when to sell.

Hi,

Hope I posted in the right board and totally new to this investing bitcoins.

I got under 0.1 bitcoin lending on poloniex but rates are too low for a good return.

Where is the best place to Invest bitcoins with the best returns and lowest risk?

Thanks,

0.1 BTC is very small for a low risk investment. You will be wasting your time if you do. The best thing for you to do is to gamble it in a high risk investment like altcoins since that amount is easily replaceable. What is the point to invest and dont see profit thats worth it? Not even 100 years will give you enough money to live by with 0.1 BTC.

Look for new altcoin launches and initial coin offerings. They usually have bounties available for everyone at all skill levels. Translation bounties are the most popular and the easiest. If you know some coding, thats also a good way to earn some BTC.

i think without giving a real proof, many people is not believe for what we say especially members in here because too many of them that getting scam by similar cloud mining and i think many of them that have bad experience in the past, i am including of this. so you need more to do and i think you need more budget to create website like other cloud mining and one thing that you should remember, you MUST not trying to scam people if you have your ROI and you MUST give your best service to members so your service will stay longer like the big cloud mining out there.

I do not scam, and i understand. But, You cant say that im scam before you try it. Im sorry that you have been scammed before, I have been scammed by Bithour and bitrush. I lost 0.02 BTC.
That is why I made this Cloud Mining Service. To benefit others with, easy and scam proof mining.


TO people that think Im scam.

Give me your Litecoinpool.org Worker name, and pass

You will see that i really do have the hashing power, and can use it.

That doesnt prove anything. Are we supposed to trust you now because you claim to be scammed before? How does that make you a trust worthy individual?

No person should give you anything.

Ok. I thought the receipts will be made readable for anyone to see on the internet. If they are only readable for the user and the merchant then good. Theres no need to do anything else. All Im saying is the potential use case for decentralized receipts will go hand in hand in a reputation system of Open Bazaar or some platform like it.

I think you're confusing our receipts and invoices. An invoice is where a customer generates a request for payment, like a bill, with a bitcoin address and things that need to be paid for. These invoices are encrypted.

A transaction receipt is just like a confirmation that a transaction was successful, and that x BTC was transferred from address y to address z.

Dont they come together? After a successful purchase the buyer should hold a receipt from the seller as proof that the said purchase took place with all the details of the transaction in it. Again, this will be put to good use in a decentralized reputation system. The more successful transactions as shown with the receipts the seller issued the more points he gets as a trustworthy merchant.

Why would you use the charts of the exchanges? They are not really good compared to some charting websites that have cryptocurrencies graphs in them. A simple googling will get you the best sites available with all the indicators you need.
1809  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cloud Mining on: April 10, 2017, 07:46:53 AM
This is very questionable. The post starter in the thread didnt even make any effort in making a good one. Not only is cloudmining a scam but offering something without a website or anything else should be ignored.

Bitcoin offers an alternative to traditional (fiat based) finance.

There's no interest that's inherent in this system. There's no mechanism for easy lending. There's no money supply manipulation. There's no lending off of a balance sheet (only) asset, i.e., imaginary money.

Does Bitcoin offer a positive evolution to finance? If so, how?

It doesnt. What it does is it disrupts the status quo and intends to give the people a way to make transactions without the banks being needed. Think of BTC as something that should be separate from the financial system but we could still do what the banks can without them.

Even if it disrupts status quo, it brings forth good changes. Even if it does bring good changes like bringing ease to online transactions and of course a good substite to credit cards, it also brings bad changes like bringing a new means for money laundering and more. To sum it all up, bitcoin changes finance not for the better and not for the worse with the intent to ease transactions which is good.

What kind of good changes? Like the creation of the darknet marketplaces which have been built around BTC? The ability for its users to launder drug money quite easily?

In the good also comes with a lot of bad. Dont get me wrong I love Bitcoin but dont give the argument that it will all change the world for the better. It can make it worse too.
1811  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Decentralized/P2P Services? on: April 10, 2017, 07:28:58 AM


Good idea. Another thing I want to ask is would it be possible for the receipts to be made encrypted and only for the buyer and the seller to see if the choose to, with the option to make it readable to the public?

The darknet markets could be a good market for this as a useful tool for a reputation system.

Hmm, could you expand on that? Our invoices are encrypted since these are generated by the user, which could contain sensitive information. However, transaction receipts are available to anyone; you only need the txid to generate the receipt, so not too sure what you mean.

The guy above me in my previous post seemed like he didnt know. I meant that not as an accusation to Poloniex but as a fact that the Verning did happen and it could happen again whatever the exchange is.

The number of nodes is meaningless. It is trivial for someone to spin up 100's (or thousands, or more) nodes with little to no cost. This is especially true when discussing short term trends.

Setting up a node today is not a joke. Have you tried setting one up at litte to no cost as you said? I think you havent tried to. The yearly bandwidth costs alone could set you back a decent amount.
1817  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Decentralized/P2P Services? on: April 08, 2017, 04:42:07 AM
One question. Why do you think we need peer to peer invoices and what inefficiencies in the market is it trying to solve?

Another thing I want to know is what kind of businesses or services do you think Blockonomics will be of most use?

Finally is your code open source? I would like to see your Github if it is.
1818  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: lending on poloniex and bitfinex on: April 08, 2017, 04:33:43 AM
I dont think you get or know what the big Verning is. I suggest you read up on the Cryptsy exchange scandal and see what happened there. To give a hint, its where the owner of the exchange himslef who tries to steal from its own users.
1819  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: lending on poloniex and bitfinex on: April 07, 2017, 12:28:28 PM
Poloniex is one of the greatest prizes in hacking at present. Lord knows how much money is stored on there. I'm sure they're extremely careful but another hack is only a matter of time.

It's already happened and somehow it'll happen again. Considering the returns on offer there's no way I'd bother myself.

Or better. They could do the big Verning and run away with all the BTC and other coins. Its so easy to get away with it since altcoin exchanges arent regulated.

Data integrity is a lot cheaper if maintained by a third party who will be liable under the law if it was caught tampering with the data. A blockchain was never intended to be efficient. In your private health center blockchain who or what secures the network?

You have never heard of Chris Derose and yet you say hes a self proclaimed expert? Your ignorance is very embarrassing. Go do your research and stop making posts, spamming your signature.

But a blockchain is more inefficient.

Its a question of downtime.

If amazon or a retail website is down for a few hours, that can represent millions in lost revenue.

One advantage of data saved in a blockchain is avoiding downtime associated with data compromise.

Yes data can be backed up by 3rd party or saved on another drive, but if the initial server data is hacked or compromised, it takes time for a rollback to happen.

That rollback of data is associated with downtime and lost revenue.

There are scenarios where a blockchain with greater uptime is preferred over backend database servers which are normally shut down when they're compromised.

If a social media site can have no downtime Im sure a private health care site that stores very important data wont too if the deploy it correctly with multiple back up servers ready. It is cheaper and more efficient.

Everyone should stop listening to the people like Tim Swanson or Don Tapscott if they say the blockchain will be a part of everything. They are only trying to create a buzz. Listen to the real people who know better.

But the blockchain has really great potential about it and can really revolutionize how the world records everything. A blockchain can be used by every medical and healthcare industries to really store every data they have for their businesses and not worry about their servers going down or their databases being wiped or hacked. Having multiple entities holding the whole block is beneficial for their business.

However, the main problem would be privacy here. I read about zcash's way of using the blockchain. Zcash has made a system where they can encrypt the transactions they have written in their blockchain which can only be accessed by the parties and whoever they choose to show the data. Which can probably solve a lot of problems in recording.

Th problem there is efficiency. Why would you use a blockchain if running a centralized server with a database like SQL or MongoDB makes more sense to run? What kind of problem are you trying to solve here? If you are concerned of downtimes or that your data will be wiped out then make a back up server. Simple.
