There are a bunch of posters on this site who call this company and that company ponzis. They may be right and they may be wrong. I am very new to all this. Bitcoin Cloud Services is the first company that I invested with. I based my investment on reviews. (99% positive on this site) So I purchased 1THS on February 8, 2015. I have received my payment everyday since. The time varies between 19:00 and 24:00 EST every day. My payout comes directly to my personal Bitcoin Wallet. ie....My payouts are not stored on a wallet on their site. It seems to me that if they were a ponzi, they would want to keep all Bitcoins possible on their site so they would make a better haul when they walk away. I have some experience with ponzis, I used to play HYIP's back in the day. One poster here called them a very well run Ponzi. Maybe, but you couldn't prove it by me. Check the Bitcoin mining calculator at www.Allsocomp.com to see what you will receive daily based on your hashrate. The amount that I receive daily mirrors the calculator. When I first signed up, I would anxiously await payment until it arrived....and, arrive it did and does. They had their first birthday last week. All of these naysayers could have made a bunch of money by now. I hope this clears up some questions. Read the reviews on the site, I could have written them all because they all reflect my experience with this company. Here is my affiliate link if you are interested. https://www.bitcoincloudservices.com/?ref=4163Good luck...Morebit well no one is denying that they don't pay, the problem is that you won't roi with any cloud service(you need 5 month at least and the diff is still rising), and the price of those gh/s is always stuck at the same value, so no point in resell those contracts i could agree that they are better than having a physical miner, because you don't pay the bill, and roi is about the same

In case you are really reading the forum rules and guidelines, there is actually no limit on how many you can post per day. As long as it is on-topic and is constructive, it will likely stay. However, most post tend to be off-topic and spammy, sometimes in the intention of boosting posts for signature campaign members. It is fine to post a hundred or even a thousand per day, as long as it is, well, constructive and helping the discussion. the problem is that some of his post are not included in one post, there are case, were he posted 3 posts in a row, that is spam to me, it doesn't matter if those posts are constructive or on topic in this case if that is allowed, i can do the same thing easily

Amph ok, I understand, but how could he manage to delete my security software (bitdefender), obviously he hacked my computer and then deleted this programme.... There is a lot of criminal energy involved to achieve this...well like in any other robbery of course. But longterm this could kill the Bitcoin. If in a case like this, you cannot mark your coins as stolen to block them for further usage at least, not even talking about tracing the coins to the new "owner".
if he controlling your pc at kernel level, you are screwed, he can do basically everything with your machine, the only option now is to secure erase next time i would suggest to keep a small amount in your client that is running on your main machine(like 0.01 btc), all your other funds in a different wallet(cold storage, no internet connection) if your 0.01 vanishes one day, you know you are infected, and you can clean your machine with a minimal loss, it's the best strategy against those malicious guy

I've got a question - how often does the bitcointalk activity update? In the official activity thread I've read that it updates every day, but it's obviously not true.
Second question is, do full members get the ability to use avatars? I believe avatars had been disabled until a week or two ago.
Thanks.
every 14 days, and you need to post at least one time in that period as far as i know yes, full member can upload avatar

Padlock doesn't disappear for me, perhaps you just have a misconfiguration. Maybe a browser plugin interfering with something? Have you tried using a different browser to see if you still had the problem?
It happens on several browsers. Here is an image. snip I should add I live in a country where government surveillance is famously intrusive and the government makes no effort to hide the fact that it monitors my electronic communications. The internet connection I use is not secure at all. are you sure you are not infected in some way? you should do a scan with multiple antivirus/anti-rootkit/anti-malware usually there are insecure link, when this appear, you could have some insecure connection going on

Thank you folks for responding to me. Lot's changed since 2011.
Should I wait for it to catch up with the network before overwriting my wallet? It's at 11% over the past ten hours and I'm in no hurry. By biggest fear is corrupting a file doing an over the top install of Bitcoin Core V0.10.0 while Bitcoin-Qt is running (synchronizing with the network). I back up nightly (Acronis > external Seagate HDD) so my .dat files are protected in there. Or are you suggesting to just go into my C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin . . .\*.dat and stick it(them) on a thumb drive? Where the heck are the dat files anyway, anyway? There somewhere: it's showing me a BTC balance.
you just need to run the new client version, don't touch anything else in the bitcoin roaming folder, your balance will appear when the synching will reach the time when you coins were spent or acquired to your wallet

this is what i was searching, notice how the production cycle is much faster with asic, gpu are far slower, if we stayed with gpu, the diff now would have been much lower, allowing many other people to mine
instead we have a centralized pow(in the end is what satoshi wanted, just few big farms, but i would still prefer that casual miners could join the network)

Just wondering why you want to set up a new pool?
maybe because of fee? if his pool can become famous enough, you can earn a lot with fees, i know this is true with altcoin, it should be with bitcoin too There are some good pools out their already, so in order to take miners away you will have to charge less and/or offer something better. I would think the profit can't be that great at some of the pool fees that are being charged. If you could get big enough it looks like a full time job, then the larger you get the more equipment upgrades you need. Then very few pools seem to stay at the top for long, and now you have all the equipment manufactures doing their own pools. In my opinion home mining may very well be coming to a end or at least not growing like it once was. I am sure there is a lot that I have not even touched on but I just don't seeing it being a great move especially for someone that had to ask about whether a hosting service will work to host the pool. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) i think it's worth it(if you know what you are doing), just an example if you can charge a tiny fee like 1% and you are making 100 btc only with your pool, you are already earning 1 btc daily(which is very good already) bear in mind that you are only running the pool, the miners come from all users around the world in my example you need a bit less then 10k antminer s5 to generate 100 btc daily, so let's say a range of 1k-5k total users, not so impossible, you need to achieve 1/36 of the entire network, less than 3%(under eligius and ghash.io level)

that chart is a good example of how the price has a very little importance to many people in the world, i'm starting to think that people care more about stability than the price
bitcoin is holding current price since 3 months already, there were small swings, but they weren't too drastic

MegaFall: Or could have simply found the private keys...
What does that mean exactly ?
if he infected your pc with a rat, he can take control of your pc, and see your private key after you access your wallet, so it doesn't even need to type the password, he just wait you to do so and steal your private key

I also believe that this is a nice strategy. We may see another drop or two. We're not safe yet. Maybe even a new long-time low. But that strategy is a very good one if you believe in Bitcoin's long-term success! (I do, as well)
if you really believe in the long term future of bitcoin then you can just sit and relax. but that's not the case for a lot people. they say i'm in for the long term, but as soon as the price drops they quickly sell. called weak hands. if you really believe in the long term of bitcoin, you should buy more, not just hold and sit there, thus i seconded the choice of the OP, a good strategy indeed, but in my case i would do only 5, well it depend on how many money you can afford to lose

Actullay purse.io is quite nice why dont you give them a try?
I might give it a try, but think it's mostly for US customers. And I was looking rather for businesses that accept BTC directly, so I don't have to use middle men for every purchase. then you can try all4btc or brawker, they will buy everything for you with bitcoin besides those for us euro there isn't much else

None of this is that hard since Satoshi has done almost all the work. You could learn a lot with this project, but don't be too sad when the value of your coin is far less than the effort of creating it. There are a lot of alts out there.
its nothing about value. just pure fun. i wont be monetizing it anyway. any help i can get? some spoonfeed threads? or websites even. videos? very very noob regarding crypto. still learning and fastest way to learn is creating my own coins. trying the trial and error and see what this does to that and stuff like that there are various guide, like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225690.0for pool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613949.0no the altcoin guy is a noob. it was proven in his post and he had to delete it. check it yourself. and his price are like he thinks we are breeding bitcoins here ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) but well a work is a work i know this guy seems better, and he have some trust too https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=466908.0

Just make a new address on your fresh formated pc so you'll have a safe wallet. Electrum does not use wallet.dat but a seed that let's you recover your whole wallet information.
I know that, I meant for the other altcoins. How do I do ? if you mean saving the wallet.dat? do a backup before formatting, then put it again in roaming folder, this must be done for every altcoin to avoid dowloading again the altcoin blockchain, you can save the whole folder in the roaming, for example for doge, save the folder named doge in %appdata%, then format(install OS), and then copy it again in the roaming folder

if you mean what will increase bitcoin price or spread
then you need adoption, better security, and regulation
something like EFT and block halving will speed up the process

i only know about rejecting cash fiat, because of AML, but never heard of someone rejecting a credit card/debit card payment
perhaps with site that accept bitcoin/altcoin only

Any exchange in Belarus, Macedonia, Montenegro, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia? I'd say most African countries don't have any exchange, then, there's Asia.
I think those countries (the African ones) need remittance companies most. They act as a kind of exchange, actually. But I agree that Africa seems to be a huge (mostly) untapped potential market. some country there have plenty of rich guys due to ptetroil, but apparently they aren't using it well, they just sit there and get richer... i mean they coul build plenty of bitcoin exchange without problem
