12/15/13 - Added DogeCoin
Really?
Yup, and it was number one on coinmarketcap yesterday:  fake stats that got manipulated on purpose Yeah, I know, but it was pretty funny, although compounds my sentiment that Dogcoin is a joke. |

Well, doesn't look like it'll be back at $1000 before the end of the year as I thought, but who knows. I guess it's no biggie as I think 2014 is going to be a big year for Bitcoin. It's exciting to see what will happen either way.

Guess this is just another forum I have joined to attempt to learn more about this coin fase everyone seems to be pushing. Sure seems a bit complicated
all I have is a dell laptop so not sure that theres any chance for this mining bit by the looks of it. I've joined quite a few sites just to get the referal links not sure yet which are scams or not. Other then that just been clicking on ads and doing tasks quite the waste of time it seems so far yet hopefully something worthwhile comes out of this.
One of the easiest ways to make free Bitcoins is to put an advert in your signature. Check out the services section of this forum as there are a few people offering this deal. You need to make ten posts before you can have a signature though. I wouldn’t waste my time with faucets. |

I want to get into this thing. I think that bitcoin has quite a few flaws and that some other currencies address a few of those flaws. Is bitcoin too popular to be overtaken? Is there room for multiple coins to have value (in the long run)? I imagine most of the established ones will stay around in some form or another, but will any alt coins ever become mainstream?
I guess this is a loaded question, but I'd like to hear some perspectives. I'm thinking an alt coin is a better gamble because it would have larger growth opportunities, but bitcoin might still give a really good ROI.
Invest a little in both. There is potentially a lot of money to be made in backing one of the up-and-coming alt coins. Just do some research and see what makes a particular coin stand out from the rest. I think a good development team and community behind a particular coin is worth a lot. |

Does this work kind of like a debit card or is a special kind of card?
Yeah, seems to work like that:
Basically what is happening behind the scenes is our system is issuing a one time use Visa / MC for a specified amount to be spent at the merchant. In parallel, the system calculates the BTC required to fund the equivalent in say USD and gives you an address to send that amount of BTC to. Once the transfer is confirmed then the card is ready to go!
This means that you get to keep your wallet however you'd like, your funds stay in BTC until you need them, and the merchant doesn't need to accept BTC as he is accepting fiat for the transaction. Hope this makes sense?

I had a strange thing happen where the limit kicked in on my very first post? Is there a signup waiting limit too? Then when I tried to repost it said I had already posted but it never show up. Odd.  Log ins, searches and attempted posts are counted. You need to wait the full 6 minutes to reset the limit. It may also possibly be a bug, as it only happens to newbs, but the former is more likely. |

Is there a reason the majority of concerns are around what the government is going to decide and think. Have you not realised yet, they are the ones on the wrong side of the fence. If they accept it, it means that have accepted defeat and dont want to die out. The ones that dont accept it will fight it until they are replaced or weakened. Its no longer in their hands so please stop waiting on a response and just keep pushing forward. Its already too late spreading faster than they can try to stop. Its like trying to stop the internet or social network media, Its not going to happen. Happy trading and mining  to the moon! That's very idealistic, and I hope you are right. But governments controls laws and banks. Bitcoin will have a very long hard struggle without being able to interface with banks. I don't think it will. I reckon it can work alongside them fine. Governments will obviously regulate it, but it'll be as futile as the war on drugs if they try to kill or suppress it. |

I also think you can't stop people from selling accounts but at least the forum admin should take a position
He has. The selling of accounts is not disallowed. |

OK, I read the newbie readme but still don't understand if/when the "only one post per 360 seconds" limit can be removed. Kinda sucks waiting 6 minutes between posts.
for Activity: 15 limit is 1m 15s. More details can be foun dhere: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0Activity is calculated as: The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes. |

why should he do it? he probably does not need that kind of money...
If he is ideologically motivated..... then may be... Maybe he forgot his password. Probably why the coins have never moved . If that's the case, then even less BTCs are in circulation and the value of BTC increases further! Probably be a good idea if the coins never get spent or our put into circulation. Dumping those coins all at once could put Bitcoin back to where it started from, but maybe people might see that as fair for everyone else, not so much people who have paid a lot of money for the coins though ahaha |

Hey all,
I have been watching these new crypto market and it seems new cryptocoins are coming back to life like Diamond (DMD), and other are poping up like cherries almost everyday. I understand that people want to get into this new "mania" and profit for a short term or for the long run if the coin pleases the public!
So my question is how easy is to just create a website with a pretty frontpage / home and some links to download wallets, sources, forums, mining pools, some backing up partner to promote the coin and etc.?
Is it worth the effort? It can be, but do we really need a new coin? Just look at them all: http://www.wheretomine.com/. Unless you can think of a unique idea for a coin, I really don't think any more are needed. A lot of coins fail because they put little to no effort or development behind them. Coins need communities and merchants willing to accept them, otherwise they just fizzle out. |

Newbie readme, bold, sticky...read! Are you just lazy or something?
Yes, you got me. A total waste of space. So how many posts is it? To become a member you need 15 activity. Activity is calculated: The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 |

Hmmmm takes a long tome to become a member....
Not that long, you've just got to patiently bide your time / put in a bit of work and then it's worth it. I'm down to less than a minute posting time now. the 360 second rule is tedious and annoying though, but it's there for a reason. |

Much as it grieves me to hold ebay up as a model, but if I want something from ebay I go to ebay.co.uk first, only if I can't find it do I look in ebay.com.
It's a simple request, why would anyone resist it?
This isn't ebay. There are ebay-like Bitcoin markets though. I'm from the UK and usually just put UK in the title if it fits, but I ship most stuff worldwide. If we have a board for UK-ers, then I'm sure all other countries will want their own and so on. |

Why not installing a good automaticDouble Account Detection, eg. one Flash-Cookie-based? It would detect 95% of these idiots, because they don't know about Flash Cookies.
Having multiple accounts isn't disallowed. |

99% of alt-coins will never be used to buy anything.
They're used for trading for other alts and that's all most of these coins are currently used for at the moment. I was surprised that Sexcoin has actually got some merchants to accept it, so some of them to become worth something, and that's what people are banking on. |
