1863  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin Forum User Security ? on: July 13, 2019, 11:54:30 AM
I Think Better Choose Bitcoin Forum Rules Compulsory user KYC Needed for active forum


It's Only My Opinion.........................

No system is secure tbh, and this forum already has a number of enemies for whatever reasons the database is hacked then gl if the hacker sells that info.

What's the point of change if everything's running smoothly already?

KYC is never really a solution for forum users' security. It can only endanger them.

We already have a trust system here that every members can use and refer to when planning to make a trade with any of the users here.

OP should read this, and understand the importance of privacy and security

By the time the reward is halved, Bitcoin will be worth more than twice its current value, so in fiat terms
That doesn't make any sense...

It does to me but it's more of an assumption (hope) which likely from past history can be said to be achievable. Irrespective of what the block rewards are a major contributor to the profitablity of mining is the value of the bitcoin reward recieved so if the current block rewards BTC12.5 has a value of approximately $137,500 (price per bitcoin tagged at $11,000) then after the halving event which resulted to block reward getting reduced to BTC6.25 and bitcoin price rasing to between $22,000 - $25,000 it means mining would still be profitable considering every other factors like cost of electricity etc remain unchanged or doesn't increase that much.

It's not good to assume only good part of happening something, that's just naive. It's more like counting chickens before they've hatched.
That's just my point of view.
1865  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Halved Bitcoin block reward - Danger to bitcoin? on: July 12, 2019, 06:43:07 AM
BeeCash had to utilize a special Difficulty Adjustment Algo so it didn't die out of the gate.  This led to blocks being mined at a furious rate hence BeeCash will have its reward halving well before Bitcoin.   lol BeeCash boost.


I don't think bitcoin's algo can be changed anymore in its present blockchain but that difficulty adjustment was a smart move by BeeCash.

Because of the difficulty algorithm, it will always be profitable for someone to mine. Also, as the subsidy is reduced to 0, the security will depend more and more on transaction fees.

Yes exactly, It will be very hard for normal people to use bitcoin in future and there are reasons for that.
*As you said subsidy is reduced to 0 so miners will prefer transactions with more miner fee and neglecting transactions with low fee.
*Price of bitcoin will not be stable all the time or on the moon "let's face it" so block reward will not be profitable every time and there will be more miners because why not?
  it's seen as easy money and noobs will join without realizing and understanding what they're getting themselves into.

  - There will be ads promoting ASIC miners with somewhat slogan "#1 & Best energy efficient miner in the world" but 99% of them will turn out to be scams.


The idea behind the blockchain subsidy is to convince miners to support the network at the early stages of Bitcoin's history. If all goes according to design, supply and demand though transaction fees should satiate miners to keep the network going. We can't really tell for sure if its going to go that way, but fractions of a bitcoin that miners fight for in 2119 might have a greater exchange value than the 12.5 BTC they are after now. If it doesn't work out as required, the great economic enlightenment of 2076 might lead the way for a better model for Bitcoin to follow, so not too much to be concerned about now.

Yes it will be good but i believe it will end for bitcoins, only believers will be using bitcoins by that time.
And the reason for that is banks, They'll get their own crypto similar to Ripple or better, I'm sure they're not going to use Ripple there are various reasons for that but getting into them will lead this topic to off-topic.
I'm sure by that time gov will figure out a way to control cryptos if not now.
2076 transactions will be more miner's fee oriented and who knows if we are able to harness most of the power from nature then energy wouldn't be an issue.
        But there will be better technologies for people to adopt than just bitcoin " Banks will pay more block reward for their blockchain compared to bitcoin people see the profit and leave mining bitcoin"

1866  Other / Serious discussion / Halved Bitcoin block reward - Danger to bitcoin? on: July 10, 2019, 12:08:43 AM
At least most of us know that bitcoin's block reward is going to be halved next year on 23 May.
After which 12.5 BTC block reward will be converted to 6.25 reward every 10 minutes leading to 900 BTC/Day total block reward.
And will be halved again after 450 days to 3.125BTC/day

The most crucial point to be noted here is what will happen after the reward of a block is reduced to a point where it's not even possible to make a profit.... forget profit what will happen if you're not even getting enough bitcoin to pay for electricity and hardware,
For power yes you can get solar panels but for hardware. They get rusty and needs to be upgraded at some point or need maintenance, which requires money.
Then what will be the point of mining...?

This could lead to ordinary people quitting and Pools will be reduced or will die at some point.
And individual organisations will start to invest in mining hardware, giving them the leverage of over 50% mining hash rate, Which will initially kill what makes bitcoin.. bitcoin.
So this will lead to panic selling, and people will start adopting altcoins.
Or maybe switching to BCH. Again this will boost BCH significantly if you look at the long run.
1867  Other / Meta / Re: Flaging hacked accounts? Do we need a new flag type - hacked account? on: July 09, 2019, 11:34:33 PM
What we have to do when an account get compromised??
Shall we only tag it or create a flag? If we create a flag want type of flag is suitable??

Maybe we need a new flag only for hacked/lost accounts??
Thoughts?

That wouldn't be necessary but flag for short term, maybe.
Most of the time, the owner create alt account and makes a thread in meta about the incident and explains briefly about everything.
Sometimes with inactive accounts, there's no one to report these incidents, so there's no way to know unless someone's paying close attention to that particular account carefully which doesn't happen for ignorant Accounts. But the forum does have an inactivity indicator, so this can be taken into consideration as well.

What's could be done is that DT1 or DT2 or maybe are given special privileges to flag accounts with strange behaviour recently based on their post and after a thorough personal investigation and should be visible to everyone that trust those DT members.

If the Flag idea is brought to reality, then i suggest making 2 flags.
Yellow for Uncertain regarding hacked account
Red for sure hacked account.
And if x number of DT members approve it then the tag is visible to everyone.

And if flag idea isn't brought to life then, Everything's already going smooth already based on the current system.

Is MBTI worthy of trial?, I've been recently told by one of my friends that I should give it a try and i'll be amazed by the results.
But to me, things like these look a waste of time. So has anyone tested it before? If yes then is it worth the time?
The friend of who told me is an ESTJ.
1869  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Is Facebook’s Libra a nuclear crypto weapon built by the West? on: July 09, 2019, 08:13:19 PM
"India and China, the 2 biggest challengers in Asia to the US Dollars are the main target of this war. If people are using Libra instead of their national currencies, this will strengthen the USD and weaken the Asian’s currencies with serious consequences for these economies."

Preferring Lybra over their country's currency is hard there since China is already control focused and even has control over the citizen's mobiles and communist party is not going to let 3rd party payment provider let loose under their control.
Whereas in India they're becoming more control oriented after the new government, So it's not going to be like before where you can launch anything here and influence people there.

That scheme seems a classic one, Obviously, it's a scam

Quote
After a while he unblocked me and sent me to that weonix site, added 15 btc on my wallet

There's a possibility that he owns the website and whatever amount you put onto that website will RIP you off...
Since you've already given him 'xyz amount' then he knows you might have the money, So he's targeting people like you.
It's better to get away from people like those, What's lost is lost. You should use the experience to avoid situations like these in future.
1871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It costs less to mine gold than it does to mine Bitcoin on: July 08, 2019, 12:30:35 PM
I don't think this is a problem. Just bitcoin mining will continue to engage those to whom it will be cost effective. If you use solar panels or modern windmills, that is, renewable energy sources, the high energy costs will not be a problem and at the cost of production, gold mining will again be much more expensive than mining Bitcoin.

Renewable energy actually does make it much better compared to mining with paid electricity. Coming to the gold mine, In future, it will be done by machines.
So yes you can say for now you can say.
Mining Gold < Mining Bitcoin (With electricity) && Mining Gold > Mining Bitcoin (With Solar Panel)

Back then spam was huge compared to now, I can see that spam has been reduced but still  Altcoin announcement thread is receiving the most spam.
Taking a look at merit giveaways- They should be given to the deserving users ethically. But there is no official rule towards merit giveaways so i doubt there's any problem about them.
1873  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk calls cryptocurrency 'brilliant' while predicting end of paper money.. on: February 20, 2019, 01:25:23 PM
Elon Musk is already one of the people who thinks about the good for our world and we all know what he does, so you know cryptocurrency promises us better future and considering Musk always thinks the best for world, so news did not suprise me.

Musk has undoubtedly achieved a lot in his life, I don't think we were waiting for him to make that statement to consider it as a fact.
Whiles't everything takes time and just like a stock the slow it goes up creating resistances the safer and foreseeable it becomes in the long run, Practically i don't think bitcoin, ripple or any other crypto would work for the cashless future because of the power it's consuming to mine those blocks.
However, XRP is a good option but do you think the government would use a 3rd party crypto just because of the hype?

I'm 80% certain that the future is going to be cashless, but the cashless currency you use would be of government.
1874  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Harvey Weinstein didn't rape anyone on: December 23, 2018, 03:28:03 AM
I'm sure all those girls knew exactly what they were doing.  They were willing to trade sex in order to make it big in hollywood.  It was a trade and both parties agreed to it.

There are three possibilities

1: They did the trade and both parties agreed to it (This is what you said)
2: Girl was told she has to meet Harvey in a hotel or at some other place and without her consent forcefully made physical relation with her.
3: Girl traded herself to be big in hollywood, Traded herself for it then urged for more money by blackmailing him after being denied she made up the story.

You cannot pass judgement without making one of them confess or by providing a good proof that one them is lying.
1875  Other / Serious discussion / Re: 51% attack vulnerability could be more possible than ever, here's why. on: December 16, 2018, 08:27:26 PM
Disregarding possibility of more or less, Fact in the past a few mining pools could combine and launch this attack, but they didn't!

Reason: I don't think they would want to risk the passive profit that they're making just by doing something foolish such as this.
Also, I'm not saying they will not do it unless there's an involvement of tens or thousands of bitcoins.
1876  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PRICE STABILITY on: December 16, 2018, 05:21:07 PM
Do you agree if Bitcoin finds a meeting point for stable prices in the range of $ 4000 - $ 5000 ...? and I think you might not agree but if you look at a few weeks until now, this is what happens to the price of bitcoin still at $ 4000 maybe this is the best way for bitcoin or bitcoin that is still in transition

I think the BTC price has long moved away from the sweet spot of 4-5k if anything its stability will be roughly around 3,5k. This is what I think given the market situation.
1877  Economy / Speculation / Re: bitcoin price breaking lows again and again on: December 16, 2018, 05:18:54 PM
I do not see how Bitcoin is breaking any laws, every cryptocurrency is low and Bitcoin is no exception. If anything we should be surprised of how it reached the 20K last year because, in my opinion this won't happen for a long time to come.
