18061  Economy / Speculation / Re: People selling alts to go back in BTC on: March 29, 2017, 05:18:26 PM
Looks like OP was right. Bitcoin is going up and all alts have been on the red, except 3 big winners:

Bitcoin Plus
Bitcoin Dark
Bitstar

People holding coins got rich last night from those, and they are still looking healthy for the uptrend.
Who they are? its the first time that i read it

just open coinmarketcap.com or any other altcoin exchange there is and sort their lists based on 24 hour change and you will see which coin was the "pump of the day" that day.
and these 3 has been pumped recently. there is no need for you and I to have even heard their names, the pumpers start pumping these coins without any reason. it is all the money they have been earning in the past weeks from big coins that they are now investing in random smaller coins to pump them and increase the profit.

Precisely my thoughts. Coins like these appear out of nowhere and don't particularly need legitimacy (I say this also holding a silly sum of an extremely silly alt that has no reason to live and rise in price other than because someone(s) involved in pumping it). Whatever it is, don't be naive and think you can get into the "game" unscathed. Focus on what's at play for the long term.

Well, I have felt a bit like kicking myself when looking at DASH and ETH have rose, and I can't see why the same won't happen for one of the few alts I have a small sum in. Like many have posted, it's well established (I say this chiefly on the number of LTC faucets out there and the sites I use all accept LTC) and development is alive and well.

At worst, it won't be a dead coin in 2017!

Let me be the first one to inform I got my payment for this past week but why the payment has been reduced?
last week I got 0.0162 btc and this week only 0.0138 btc.Why?

I would also like to report that I have seen the payment tx from two hours ago, only that it hasn't confirmed. As stated earlier, however, I have no issue if this will save OP on fees.

OP, a suggestion. Please amend the payment schedule to say that you will make payments on Tuesdays, and using low fees so expect payments to be delayed. Also, why not make 1 bulk payment to all of us? You'll save on fees that way.

Wapinter: have you been joining this campaign as a hero member without reading the terms? You get paid per accepted post, and you can check the calculations done by looking at the spreadsheet on the first post.

You might want to do a bit of cleaning up on very minor but potentially problematic issues, such as the spelling of "signature" on the very first banner that greets the reader of this thread:)

Otherwise, I'm a sucker for RPG-related crypto... it's the gamer in me perhaps. So will be curious to see how this turns out.
18065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is BU an attack on Bitcoin? on: March 28, 2017, 08:51:47 AM
I wish both sides would be a little less dramatic, do away with the theatrical and get closer to the points they want to make.

Even the article quoted at the very first plays to the same stoking of sentiments. Almost every educated article is filled with rhetoric and unnecessary superlatives. Why can't they just tell us the pros and cons and be objective about it?

I just read yesterday on this forum of a user who's sick with both sides bickering and is diversifying into an alt. I suspect more will take this path.
18066  Economy / Services / Re: PayBis signature campaign [FULL] on: March 28, 2017, 07:31:33 AM
Hey hulla, I've been in this campaign from the very start and from what I understand, paybis sends out several transactions, which I assume is just following the order of the participants' list. Monday is always the counting day and transactions start from there. I usually receive mine by Tuesday/Wednesday when it confirms.

It's been a well-run campaign from the start, so really, just need to be patient. The spreadsheet has been updated too, so if you're on the list, paybis will get to you=)

Thanks a lot OP, rewards well received and with a very nice 10 confirmations so could see all of them when I logged in today!

Keep staking guys, and don't forget to do the daily vote at POSWallet.
18068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Was this Transaction fee good enough on: March 28, 2017, 07:17:40 AM
Just checked out the tx and seems that it confirmed 3 blocks after the tx was made, and "only" after 32 minutes. You probably already know about bitcoinfees.21.co but they also give an updated fastest and cheapest (or rather, most value for fee) fee recommendation which I've found is pretty accurate *before* making the tx.

Nice link too, mocacinno!

Kalo mau untung dari gambling sendiri, memang terpulang nasib tapi lama-kelamaan pastinya rugi. Satu-satunya cara "guaranteed profit" - pake referral link dan promosikan kasino. Komisennya tetap ada, kalah menang ga kira. Kalo pehati statistik ada yang top referral dapat 1 BTC seminggu.

The recent pumps and dumps of bitcoin it's heaven for experienced traders, because (without no offence to anyone) current market is full of noobs driven by emotions which panic sell with every little price change. And those pro traders, who then buy low are laughing hard. Wink

I have been HODLing my bitcoins for forever, and I never sold, not even when the price dropped to $250ish after having reached $1300. I don't give a damn, I don't sell for price swings up or down.     
But just recently I did sell 25% of my coins and exchanged them for altcoins, because I am getting sick and tired of this blocksize debate, and it's hurting bitcoin.   

If this debate isn't resolved soon, bitcoin will die from it.     
   
And the worst thing is, is that bitcoin core had the responsibility to avoid this debate, and they failed. Yet they still have support of many people, even though they failed the one job they had.
[/quote]

With you on this, most of us who've been HODLing will continue to hold, perhaps with some appetite to add to our stock when the price dips to more "affordable" levels. I hardly think those who've been in it for the long haul would feel any concern for price this year. The only significant event was the new high, and that is overall good news.

You're also probably not alone in diversifying to some of the more established alts now, however, what with all the blocksize wars going on. Makes me wish I had a bit more capital to manage that strategy.

Hi guys. today i will pay the last votes for tradesatoshi.
Tomorow only votes for Poswallet get a reward because poswallet open exchange. This site is now more interesting for us. Smiley

thx for your help guys.

OK boss, I still think it's better to have as many exchanges as possible but we will follow your logic =).

So today I put my last vote for Tradesatoshi... and update is below
1. Tradesatoshi: #104, #107, #113, # 119, #123, #128 and #133 (7 votes to date). #133 will be the final vote as OP says this is the last day for rewards on TS.

2. Poswallet: #113, #122, #128, #133, #146 and #160 (5 votes to date).

18073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [HELP] Indian Member of Parliment is Seeking Public Opinion On Bitcoin on: March 27, 2017, 09:17:36 AM
Current opinion in the Indian Parliament is that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. This is a statement put forward by the ruling party currently.
He said:

"The use of Bitcoin, a hypothetical currency, is increasing at a rapid speed in India as well as in the world. Experts have expressed concern that Bitcoin is a pyramid ponzi type scheme. This issue should be taken very seriously and there is [an] urgent need to have a study on development of Bitcoin in India. There is no regulator. As it is functioning like [a] currency and seems like [a] Ponzi scheme, RBI and SEBI as well as Finance Ministry to take [the] appropriate step to save the people from another big ponzi fraud."

My opinion is that he is trying to cast bitcoin out of India is that it is a kind of currency which cannot be taxed and thus government doesnt get any income from that sort of thing. I think this move should be staunchly opposed as this might result in the banning of BTC in India pretty soon.

Political stance in India is probably very different from public opinion (perhaps though, political parties can sway public opinion if not outright determine it) and any sampling of opinion online would probably reach the very upper middle class at lowest. The current administration seems to be heavy-handed even with the Rupee but as usual, politics is better spent creating distractions from real economic problems.

Thanks for the very detailed response in PM OP. The pay structure for some services still isn't very clear, you'd need to be better with this to attract users. In any case, you seem to have some business already and I wish you the best of luck in with your website.
18075  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Coinbase added a fees now on: March 26, 2017, 06:25:54 PM
Time to get used to the idea of having to pay for using a service, people. If it isn't straight up a fee then you'll always end up paying for the service some way or other. No such thing as a free lunch.
18076  Economy / Speculation / Re: So you decide to sell now that Bitcoin is < $1000? on: March 25, 2017, 06:03:16 PM
Well, people like me (people arriving late to the crypto scene, that is) have been hoping for just under $1,000 so we can finally add substantial coins to our wallets. It's completely all right for people to sell, you know. This is what it's all about, isn't it?
18077  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price fall.Where will it stop? on: March 25, 2017, 05:54:24 PM
Bitcoin price is falling rapidly by day,I wonder will it stop falling or will continue till we are back to $1 per btc?
What will happen if hard fork occur?will btc price touch the bottom? Or is it just market manipulation to take advantage of this confusion?

Maybe you just need to look a few months back and see that most people were saying that $800 - $1,000 was the "stable" price for the current and short-term outlook. Bitcoin took everyone by surprise when breaking its previous high and it's really just a matter of logic that it should resettle for the time being.

I consider myself quite fortunate as a newbie when googling for a bitcoin wallet that I settled for Electrum to download and install. It was very easy to use, and as I later discovered is perfect for any security concerns. Very lightweight, very quick.

Hi all, update of my votings:

1. Tradesatoshi: #104, #107, #113, # 119 and #123 (5 votes to date). #123 was made after OP announced only paying for poswallet, but hope you can still count all these as we still need many more votes at TS to get listed there!
2. Poswallet: #113 and #122, #128, and #133

18080  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Post your SegWit questions here - open discussion - big week for Bitcoin! on: March 23, 2017, 03:37:05 PM

Hi achow, always respect your answers and insight. If a number of contributors not listed also help decide what goes into Core, how is it that the Hong Kong agreement resulted in a "proposal" by contributors? Does this mean that contributors may have an avenue for opening ideas but a higher layer still calls the shots?
Some contributors (not all, in fact, only 4 IIRC), were at the Hong Kong meeting and are the ones who made the proposal. Any individual can make a proposal, but that does not mean that everyone who works on the project frequently will think that it is a good idea and that everyone will agree to accept the proposal and implement it. There is no "higher up" but rather a group consensus decision.

Where is there documentation on the leadership/direction of "Core". I (think I) understand that decentralisation means just that there is no such thing, but to my uninitiated mind, it seems more a (non-deliberate) lack of transparency rather than decentralisation.
There isn't documentation really, and there really isn't a leadership structure. You can see who is considered a part of the "team" at https://bitcoincore.org/en/team/ but the team does not included everyone who contributes, just those who do so fairly frequently. The leadership consists of the three maintainers as they are the ones who merge everything (and Sipa who has commit access but isn't a maintainer) and I suppose you could say Wladimir is the leader as he is the release maintainer.

Who got to choose who became "Core"? Were they self-appointed?
Basically. People who contribute to Core frequently became noticed by other contributors, and over time, became associated with "Core" as a "Core dev". The only people who were "appointed" were the three maintainers, and only because they were basically doing the position that they were given for a while before they were actually given the titile. E.g Wladimir was setting out release schedules, release TODOs, release notes, and making releases themselves for a while before Gavin officially gave him the title. Jonasschnelli was submitting wallet and GUI pulls and reviewing other wallet and GUI pulls for a long time and he basically became the final say on wallet and GUI related stuff for them to be merged or not until Wladimir eventually made him the wallet and GUI maintainer. The same thing happened with MarcoFalke for him to become the QA maintainer.

Thanks, as always, for taking the time to say it simply. It really is interesting to realise that a lot of what bitcoin is is done voluntarily - though of course one has to think it is paying dividends to the maintainers at least, as it sounds almost like a full-time job.

So I've more or less established the de facto "who are in charge", but do they have a succession plan? What happens if these three very important maintainers suddenly disappear or stop their work (let's not say death but disappearance, maybe like Nakamoto). Is there enough information and resource for someone else to pick things up? And must the devs achieve group consensus on succession?
