1821  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help with unconfirmed transaction - can i sweep or resend with higher fee? on: July 27, 2016, 05:59:26 PM
If it's stuck for 10+ hours as unconfirmed then you didn't send the recommended fee. Remember that multiple outputs require higher fee... Bitcoin Core recommended fee is always the correct and safer one.

If you used Bitcoin Core , try with -zapwallettex option like this:

This fixed my stuck transaction once (you have to wait for re scanning of the blockchain so it will take some time)

Unfortunately if you didn't use Core then i have no idea what i would do.
1822  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Brian Armstrong from Coinbase admit he was wrong? on: July 27, 2016, 05:49:55 PM
Of course he won't admit defeat. He will keep pushing his agenda in a futile attempt to sell a story of future revenue for his shareholders. He has shown his true colors, and the attempt by GDAX/CB to steal customer ETC further proves it.

Well he and all the supports of the hard fork will have a hard time explaining to investors that a very strong fork of the chain is still existing and now it has mutated into another coin and they will compete against each other... this is pretty fucking insane but they were warned about it. Oh and all because of a rollback to get the money back, not as if they were trying to improve the code or something.
1823  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Brian Armstrong from Coinbase admit he was wrong? on: July 27, 2016, 05:31:17 PM
I'm voting for a hell no. I don't quite know what's going on in their minds, but it's not very constructive or helpful for everyone else.

They should leave the meddling to other people and concentrate on providing good service for all. That probably includes delisting ETH until it's clear that it won't completely rape their less informed customers.

In any case they should allow ETC too, if they refuse to delist ETH. I seriously doubt that they will backpeddle now and stop supporting ETH... so okay, if you want to support Ethereum, then support ETC too because there is a serious demand for the coin and active developers, as we can see in the Poloniex order book, the volume is real.
1824  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Will Brian Armstrong from Coinbase admit he was wrong? on: July 27, 2016, 05:24:06 PM
Brian Armstrong has been pushing for the big block agenda claiming that a hard fork is "an elegant way" to upgrade and that "2 coins would never coexist". Obviously this has been all proven wrong with the Ethereum/Ethereum Classic dissaster.

Will he admit that the conservative approach of Core devs was the right way to go about things while keep improving and doing more research?

Damn 5 Bitcoins is insane, I have to wait for 5 months to make 5 Bitcoins since i try to buy at least 1 per month, and now that the price is grown  and we are on the 600 territory, its even more difficult for me to buy 1 BTC per month, so I think soon 5 BTC will be considered a small fortune.

It's unfortunate that Holm lost, I think she is the better fight but she had a bad night. She gave Rousey a good beating so we can't underrate her. Of course if she fails a third time then it's time to start doubting fo real.
1827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereium Classic is a reminder of why Bitcoin must never hard fork on: July 25, 2016, 12:56:10 PM
This is a fucking disaster. 2 coins are surviving for a long time now, they are even in huge exchanges together like Poloniex, and solid developers are joining the project too.

Idiots like Brian Amrstrong saying that they were sure the fork would disappear quick and 2 coins would not survive together... well guess what, you morons are WRONG. Now you have 2 fucking coins to worry about, good luck with that. Meanwhile in Bitcoin we stick together with the best team (Core) that has been delivering the best code for years now. We will never be subjected to his amateurism. Bitcoin lives on as the king and haters are as salty as ever. Let's keep on winning.
1828  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People hate Bitcoins? on: July 25, 2016, 12:37:26 PM
Most of the people that i have talked to don't know what Bitcoin is so they don't hate it because they don't even understand it. They see it as some strange thing so they don't think much about it. Until the governments get rid of physical cash so people are forced to use Bitcoin if they want liberty,I don't see the mainstream public getting involved to be honest.
1829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An Article Claims BIG Investors Now Buy the Bulk of BTC on: July 25, 2016, 12:03:44 PM
The whales will come first before the common folk. The average joe is simply too dumb to see the point in bitcoin yet so the deep pockets will come next, then later on the average joes, that's how it goes. The good news is, this fact makes us pioneers since we have been involved before big investors got interested.
1830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is CHINA CONTROLLING Bitcoin? on: July 25, 2016, 11:57:36 AM
The miners are in china because china has the best possible electricity bill because they have the best position in the planet to become miners, so it's understandable that most of the mining happens there. Instead of complaining about chinese centralization, what we should do is find ways to compete against them. If I was rich I would already be doing it. McAffee is already starting a huge mining venture.
1831  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vanitygen on: July 25, 2016, 11:47:41 AM
I don't recommend anyone doing that because its just not privacy friendly and generally a good idea. Vanity bitcoin addresses are a gimmick and should not be used for any real transactions in my opinion, unless you run a certain service that for some reason requires that you always use the same address or something.

Just learn a way to be efficient in sport betting, it's the only possible way to make solid gains in gambling. Gambling on the casinos is random as hell and will never deliver anything close to sold gains, you can hit a jackpot and become rich overnight but that is so unlikely that is simply not worth considering a viable option.

Rather than gambling, he might choose to invest too. Invest in 10 ICOs, at least one will prove to be the "jackpot" as mentioned by you.
It is worth doing as you will get out at least with some profit, and something is still good than nothing on hands.

What ICOs are out there nowadays that will deliver decent results like ETH? Honestly all I see is a bunch of bullshit. Not a single ICO I see has decent fundamentals to pump in a decent way. ETH is a shitcoin but it had some interesting stuff, MAID also had great different stuff.. other than that i just don't see it. There's that Agora thing but I can't trust people to hold coins for me for so much time. By the time they release a wallet bitfinex may go cryptsy and you lose it all.
1833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you were rich, would you still gamble? on: July 23, 2016, 02:24:21 PM
The best you can do nowadays is just became famous. Once you are famous and rich, gambling is a never ending cycle. The casino pay you to gamble, you gamble and never lose, so it's just a way to gamble infinite times without ever losing and without cheating.
1834  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth Coin Poll on: July 23, 2016, 01:21:22 PM
ETH is a dead coin. They hard forked to recover funds from a badly progrmmed smart contracts, this sets a scary precedent.
What will happen when another smart contract gets exploited? Another hard fork? What is the amount of money that needs to be drained from a smart contract to hard fork? It's a fucking joke. This coin is and was always crap. Only good use is to get more BTC from the pump and dumps.
1835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Release - Open source software - replacing hardware wallets with image { on: July 23, 2016, 12:35:21 PM
This is fantastic. The fact that im not using paper wallets it's because they are an obvious target. If someone ever finds it it's like "hey guys, there's bitcoins here! let's pick this up". If they see some irrelevant picture of a cat or something, they will never guess there's a private key there.

The question is: Can you still add a password lip BIP38 paper wallets? There's no way im getting a paper wallet of any kind unless it requests a password to unlock it.
1836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pokemon GO and Bitcoin would be a killer combo on: July 23, 2016, 12:27:26 PM
First, you would not be able to get BTC so quickly. Also, with the current DDOS attacks they face, security would be a concern.
Second, BTC is volatile. They can't risk losing lots of invest on a currency that goes down tomorrow.
Third, They need a good trusted wallet for each user. It all sums up being very complex.

I agree with the volatility aspect of the bitcoin. It is too volatile, you cannot mark the equipment price in bitcoin.

No one has said that they should put the price in BTC obviously the price would be in dollars or euro or whatever country you are playing Pokemon GO at, but being able to pay with BTC would be a plus.

Also I don't see how it would be difficult to code a way to pay you BTC in game so you can buy in game items too but I guess that's too much work for them and they will simply stick to ingame pokecoins or whatever, but they should still add a way to buy stuff with your BTC.
1837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Alarming bad publicity to bitcoins in social media on: July 23, 2016, 11:58:14 AM
Governments all over the world are going to be pushing the anti-cash agenda soon, this means that people will search for alternatives, and Bitcoin is the only alternative for freedom once physical cash is removed. They know it, which is why they will keep attacking Bitcoin, but we will win.

I don't see how's so difficult. Steam accepts payments, so Pokemon GO could accept payments too, at least to buy the actual Pokemon coins in exchange of BTC instead of fiat. Volatility is irrelevant since they automatically convert to fiat.
1840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ONLINE GAMBLING WILL BE BANNED IN THE PHILIPPINES on: July 22, 2016, 04:28:13 PM
The newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop the online gambling here in the Philippines. Its because they cannot collect tax from it and they don't want people to become addicted to it. What is your side ?
Well, this only means good news to bitcoin, since everyone in Philippines that wants to gamble, will simply download a bitcoin wallet and start gambling in bitcoin where there is no censorship or any limits, and gobs can't do nothing about it.

well its not quite true, the government has the right to banned the gambling site including the bitcoin gambling, and in my country they have law that stated if you get caught gambling online the penalty is the same with physical gambling, bitcoin gambling will be illegal

in my opinion there are a good side if the president really want clear the country from gambling, gambling is really attempting activity, if you become addicted to it, its a very dangerous for yourself for the neighbour and the country( the crime rate will increase)

My point is that governments are free to pass as many anti bitcoin laws as they want, but people will still be able to gamble because the bitcoin protocol doesn't care about government laws. If the gov in your country bans access to all gambling sites, simply get a VPN and you are gambling again, easy.
