The minimum fee required for instant confirmation is around 200 to 300 Satoshi per Byte as of now. And this comes to around $2 to $4 per transaction. Even if you compare to the fee charged by Paypal and Visa, this amount is exceptionally high.
18462  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are the forkers purposely trying to kill BTC? on: August 22, 2017, 07:21:21 AM
These people will not gain anything if Bitcoin is dead. Because even the altcoin prices are linked to the exchange rates of Bitcoin. Altcoins will crash even more if the Bitcoin prices crash. So my guess is that they just want to control the future development of Bitcoin, rather than destroying it.

If you are using the old Blockchain.info wallet, then just export your private key. Move all your Bitcoins to some other wallet. Then import this private key to some BCH compatible wallet such as BitcoinABC. All your BCH coins will be credited to the BitcoinABC wallet. If you are using the new wallet, then you may need to generate the private key using the 12 word seed.

If Bitcoin reach 50K, then most of the purchases will be made by the institutional investors and the hedge funds. And a lot of people, who purchased their coins when the price was $2,000 or $4,000 will be dumping them.

$3800? It's definitely dead. Dead like in 0 dollars.

LOL... these scaremongers are very funny. They were hiding in some hole when the exchange rates increased from $1,800 per coin to $4,500 per coin. Now these guys have come out from hiding, after hearing about the 10% drop.

Imagine a fucking foreigner that attack a chinese grand mother... social cohesion and no impunity.

Such an incident will never occur in China. Do you know how difficult it is for an African to apply for asylum in China? Even business and tourist visas are extremely hard to obtain, if the individual is from Sub-Saharan Africa.
18467  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is russia arming the talibans? on: August 22, 2017, 06:45:23 AM
Is there any evidence to prove this? I don't know why the super-powers are doing this. The Americans and their allies arming the ISIS in Syria, and Russia arming the Taliban in Afghanistan. Where is this going to end?
From where for you information about that Americans and their allies supply with the weapon of ISIS? Did it dream you, or you have data that it will confirm? These secret services of Russia can not give, Russians I disbelieve.

It has been confirmed that the American weapons ended in the hands of the ISIS. In 2014, the Americans armed the FSA, and many of the FSA factions later defected to the ISIS taking their American weapons along with them.

Ukrainians do not like their power. This particular mentality, but they are very patient and try to change the power in the elections. Russian special spread myths about what Western and Eastern Ukraine can't live together. This is not a problem. Moreover a lot of tourists from Russia visit the lions and have no problems. Crimea will return to Ukraine and will not have problems between Ukrainians, Russians and Tatars.

Well, considering that 98% of voters said yes to integration with Russia I don't understand how will Crimea return to Ukraine. If you mean by force, than you have to move those 2 milions people somewhere.

Certain people still have difficulty in admitting the fact that Crimea will never become a part of Ukraine again. The better they come to their senses, that better. The only group which doesn't approve of the Russian rule in Crimea is the Tatars. And they are less than 15% of the population.
It is not so simple. In 2014, people are deceived and many already know it. They are silent because they are afraid of reprisals. Firstly, the referendum was illegitimate and the votes were rigged, and second Crimea for the Russians it is a bleeding wound which will lead to infection of the whole organism. Already a lot of Russians do not support the annexation of Crimea and believe that it will be better if Crimea is part of Ukraine.

If the ordinary Russians are against the annexation of Crimea, then Putin's approval ratings would have been much lower than the current level of 85%. Also, the Crimeans are happy with their economic situation, at least when compared to the complete chaos and poverty in Ukraine.
18469  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ukraine - a victim of immorality West against Russia on: August 22, 2017, 06:41:01 AM
The problems in Ukraine were created by the Ukrainians themselves. Blaming Russia will not do any good. Look at how the living conditions have dropped after Poroshenko was elected as the president in 2014. The Hryvnia has been devaluated by almost 300%, and inflation is close to 30%.
Certainly, would be foolish to blame Russia in everything, but that this country supplies with a weapon to the terrorists on East of Ukraine is a fact. And so yes, Poroshenko and his company will take Ukraine to the very bad consequences.

Eastern Ukrainians are mostly Russian speaking and are pro-Russia in their political views. So the Russian support was only natural. But right now Poroshenko is using the conflict to hide the looting of Ukrainian wealth by his cronies.

Oh, really BTC is banned in China and Russia?
Wow, sounds weird for me, why wouldn't they ban those huge chinese mining pools then?
Same thing for Russia - why Putin's aide is seeking for $100 million donation to rival China in BTC mining?

Sooo weird Huh

It's more like a de facto ban, rather than a de jure ban. As per the criminal code, BTC is not a banned article. But the authorities will create trouble if you plan to do something with the Bitcoins.
18471  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russia is the most aggressive country on: August 22, 2017, 05:06:38 AM
Russia is agressive because the media shows that.
But there is some countries which are more agressive and violent. Like USA, France, Israël ...

The numbers speak for themselves. During the last 7 decades, Russia has invaded a single country (Afghanistan), and that too at the request of the elected government. On the other hand, the Americans have invaded more than 70 nations and are still having military bases in some of these nations (including Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Japan).
18472  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you feel about the death penalty? on: August 22, 2017, 05:01:19 AM
I am well disposed to the death penalty, but if it is not publicly publicized, because children can see it. Murderers should not live, but the death penalty must be carried out hidden from society.
Executions can not be published, the death penalty must be hidden.

Same here. I don't want the executions to be made public. There is no point in beheading someone in front of the public (just like what they do in certain Islamic nations), no matter how brutal his crimes are. It will only help to make the people more violent.
I dont think it should be hidden, these executions should be made public so that it becomes a deterrent to those who commit crimes like that, I dont know how the Thai's execute those are charged with the death penalty, I have always been a fan of the French Guillotine.

In Thailand they used to have the firing squad. But in 2001, it was replaced by lethal injection. And the last execution in Thailand was carried out in 2009, and after that there seems to be a moratorium.

And the last person to be executed through guillotine was Muslim rapist and murderer Hamida Djandoubi (on September 10, 1977).

Well the world will still exist, what will extinct is the social life, people will stop interact with others.

That's possible. People will be living in virtual reality. Jobs will be gone thanks to the AI. Direct interactions will stop and people will communicate to each other only through social media. What's more, even the sex will be virtual. Individuals will be having sex with artificial sex dolls and virtual animated figures.

I think that Confederations Cup showed that situation is OK, didn't it?
That's not going to happen, really, no one will win from that scenario Huh

All this talk about shifting the venue is pure nonsense. It is too late for any of that. At the most, a few of the nations will boycott the event, and these nations will later face fines and bans from the FIFA.
18476  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The Negro Race is Objectively Inferior on: August 22, 2017, 04:51:09 AM
It is true that racial origin plays a major role in the intelligence. Someone from the Sub-Saharan Africa is having an average IQ of around 70, while those from East Asia generally have an IQ between 100 and 110. That is the main reason why Africa was under European colonial rule for the past many centuries.
This is ignorant AF. IQ does NOT completely depend on genes. If you don't have proper education and good conditions like nutrition, medicals, doctors and so on when growing up, then you will not be able to achieve your full potential. The problem is that we don't all have the same chances when we are born. And no, IQ is not the reason for colonialism. We, Europeans, simply have better climate, better conditions for farming and so on.

Even those individuals with good access to education and wealth show differing IQ based on their race. Else how can you explain the African Americans living in the United States having an IQ of around 80, while the North Koreans having a score of 105?
18477  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion on recreational drug use on: August 22, 2017, 04:49:10 AM
I just want some consistency.  If you're going to say alcohol is OK, despite it causing many deaths while driving, by overdosing, or long-term damage to the liver and a person's intelligence, or to a woman's baby while in the womb, then you can't turn around and say drugs like marijuana and LSD are worthy of banishment, especially when their effects aren't as severe.

It's horseshit and everyone knows it.

It is not just alcohol and tobacco. Dangerous drugs, which are having severe side effects (such as Oxycodone) are allowed to be used as prescription medication. And a major part of these drugs end up in the hands of drug addicts.
18478  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drug free in the Philippines on: August 22, 2017, 04:47:35 AM
Recently Kian delos santos died, a 17 year old grade 11 student.
Is this what Filipinos would like to have on the Drug war on the Philippines?
You could be the next kian, maybe your son, your daughter, your niece, your cousin.

Rich people who have been linked to drugs have already given DUE PROCESS, but with likes of kian, without investigation and due process have been killed because of allegations that he fought/fired the gun first to the police which may not be true because if the CCTV footage that they already hol.d kian. With this kind of situation probably, Philippines will never be a Drug Free country.

Isolated incidents should not be used to tarnish the ongoing war against drugs. What happened to Kian was tragic (if he was indeed wrongly framed). And those who are guilty for his death must be punished. But the war on drugs must go on.

His penis should be cut off.

Yes, such criminals of barbarous acts on infants and minor children be castrated so that their biological needs to end with it, than life be of imprisonment alone.

Unfortunately, most of the human rights organizations are up in arms against punishments such as castration. Countries such as Poland and Czechia have considered this punishment. But it could never be implemented due to opposition from the human rights groups.


Yes Human rights organizations are against punishment of castration with knife but they may accept chemical castration such as using pills that kill lust.
And I think chemical castration is best solution for rapists.

I was referring to chemical castration, and not the physical variety. These human rights organizations went ballistic, when certain countries were considering chemical castration for pedophiles.

Bitcoin is not an instant way to get rich for everyone. You need to invest,do hard work to reach a minimum level of potential earning.
I would rather say that no one should dream this way.It depends on luck and knowledge helps to make your luck.

Thats  absolutely correct, it is not everyone who will never fortunate to amass Bitcoin fortune instantly, it will take moderate to long time for others and so everyone should be psyched up for whatever may come your way when you first start investing in Bitcoin.

Patience is the key. Considering how volatile the exchange rates are, you should hold on to your coins for the medium to long term. I am saying this out of my own experience. When the exchange rates dipped to $230 per coin in 2016, I sold a few of my coins.
