Hi, I would love to hear your input on this. As I see it, we need crypto wallets installed on every phone possible to ensure the readiness of everyday payment with crypto assets. Once customers are ready to pay, the stores will follow. At least three things needs to happen: 1) Adoption of crypto wallets needs to increase (preferable with pre-funded assets) 2) Each wallet provider needs to agree on a standard protocol for payment (Maybe Payment Request API (W3))? 3) Store owners need a merchant app to receive payment with further integration into multiple accounting systems. Have you seen anyone doing this? Do we need a wallet alliance that can stipulate a standard? What else needs to happen besides regulation? Best crypto greetings, Vindberg https://validators.comThe demand isn’t as big as the risk that they will face, it’s possible but we still have to be patient waiting for Lightning Network to be able to transact fast so the transaction in the store will not hung up just by 1 Bitcoin transaction only. But there is nothing wrong to invite or advise merchants to accept Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. What are the risks that merchants face when implementing Bitcoin payments? I think it hold very little risk for merchants actually, since you don't have to deal with fraudulent chargebacks. The thing that's stopping mass acceptance is that there are no clear regulations in many countries. When Japan imposed clear rules around crypto and exchanges, adoption also increased. |

i just hate how manipulative they are toward what is ours!
I'm pretty sure that It's legally theirs. You were registering for using their services to store your BTC, nothing else. The TOS didn't mention anything about forks and you knew that they control the private keys. This is also how I see it. You've willingly given them control over your private keys when you've registered. This is the case for pretty much any web wallet. I'm not even sure if they're your private keys or what kind of ownership you actually have over your assets. I don't really see it as something to be angry about... They're offering a service and everyone is free to look elsewhere. |

I think your marketing is a little bit illogical actually.
This product is meant for ICO founders to help them write their whitepaper themselves, it's mentioned in the first paragraphs.
Most ICOs would just hire a writer to do that for them, no?
Why don't you market this product towards aspiring technical writers? That seems a whole lot more logical to me.
Also, I do think the price is a little bit on the high side, but maybe it's worth it.

I hesitate to trust these rating sites when I see that some casinos are reviewed positively, but when you Google these sites and you find MANY fraud reports on these sites on other social media platforms. It is literally a minefield to sort the good from the bad these days. There are many rating sites that are owned and operated by these Casinos.  ...I trust the numbers.  They're literally compensated by the gambling sites to write favorable reviews about them, and there rewards can actually be rather large sums of money for review sites that get lots of traffic. I know because I used to write for blogs and websites that reviewed casinos, and one site paid me upwards of $100-200 for a single written review. I imagine the blog or website owner's keeping a very large sum to themselves as well. If you're actually looking to confirm the legitimacy of a casino, Bitcointalk is a far better place than some compensated website to get information. Most searches for "(casino name) legit/scam" direct to threads on Bitcointalk anyways. They also just earn a lot through referrals, so perhaps they're not actually being paid by casino owners all of the time. If you can secure a spot for a high traffic keyword on Google, then you can expect hundreds of new referrals each day. But yeah, the review website owner still has a great incentive to just push the sites which pay out the most to him. Those might not be the sites which are best for you as a user. Most likely not actually, since those referrals payouts are ultimately paid for by the players. |

As it stands, it's not that useful, not for me at least.
I'd really like to see something like this offer a notification system that triggers when certain keywords are mentioned. Then I could really see myself using it, would be pretty handy for trading.
Personally, I don't really care about the design, as long as it works.

new egg has been involved in bitcoin since before 2014.. the CEO actually does keep some crypto's. but even he has enabled more than just cores chain on his merchant tools. same goes for MANY big companies. but both of us have to agree. the 'alligience' to cores chain is waning/dropping
a company accepting bitcoin only is a stupid company. it's not their job to endorse anything or safeguard something's position. their job is to profit. end of. there are tons of coins now. some of them are huge. ignoring them means merchants might be giving away profit. I don't agree at all with that, pretty much every coin is easily exchanged for Bitcoin. Plus, they also have to be sure that enough people would actually pay using those additional coins. Accepting them also has a cost, so better be sure that people would actually use them. Don't overestimate the actual usage of Bitcoin as a payment method. A lot of companies have started accepting it, but ended up removing support because there wasn't enough interest. |

I'm just speaking from personal experience, so it might be that you could have a different experience. I definitely prefer to invest over the long term as opposed to day trading. I just think it carries less risk and allows me to diversify in a pretty safe way. I even go so far as to put some coins into a timelock, just so they can't be spent for a certain amount of time  |

I've placed a few bets on famous cycling races like the Tour de France, but I usually don't really look for bonuses.
I've not really come across any crypto betting sites that offer really decent bonuses for sports betting either, but I imagine they do exist.

The only noteworthy thing about this type of news is that blockchain is slowly but surely making some jobs completely obsolete.
That's a whole section of their 'production' chain being fully automated, I think it's likely that we'll see even more industries follow suit here.
I really think that orderpicking and supply-chain management will move to the blockchain.
But I do also wonder how far they will try to go with patenting everything.

Well, what can you do exactly to stop dictators from using it? Doing anything to prevent certain groups from using Ethereum or NEM as a platform really isn't an option.
I really find this a weird question, just because 'blockchain', as you call it, isn't controlled by any central authority. So how can you prevent someone from using it?
Wether it's okay or not is besides the point completely, it really doesn't matter if anyone thinks it's okay or not.

This is something really useful and I've been looking for something like this to use in my Steemit posts. Looking forward to you setting up a decent website to offer this as a service! Too bad I can't see the images, wish someone would have posted a screenshot |

I rally doubt that this Petro coin will ever be successful, it's even wrong to call it cryptocurrency, it's a worthless token.
You can't even buy it on exchanges, only through official channels run by the Venezuelan government.
I really do wonder how many actual citizens of Venezuela had the means to buy into the ICO.

That would be pretty difficult to find out, unless some mass survey was done to find out.
You would have to know for sure that people who've gambled with crypto, wouldn't have done so with fiat.
I do think it's possible that due to lack of regulations of crypto gambling sites, more people have access to gambling.
I wonder how many people from the US use crypto to gamble, just because they're able to. Since online gambling is heavily restricted in the US.

Once Bitcoin has been mentioned in The Simpsons it will have finally become part of pop-culture. I really hope It'll appear in a Simpsons episode and that they mention it going to 100k, since a lot of predictions on the show tend to actually come true |

I'm not sure if I completely agree with that statement. It would be pretty hard to prove that and I think the bigger investments are mostly coming from wealthy individuals or institutions. I'll answer your questions though: - On what do you spend your coins apart than partying/gambling/paying for tuition loans ? Nothing really, I occasionally order some food online and pay with Bitcoin, but that's it. - Do you have any future plans for your coins if you are hodling any ? Not really any specific plans, apart from maybe divest some into other interesting projects. |

You really need to be a lot more clear to get a decent answer.
What kind of product are you talking about? You could say that Bitcoin is a blockchain based product that's already being used...
Steem is another example, blockchain-based social network that's being used by thousands of people.
Bitshares is a decentralized exchange.
There are a lot of decentralized applications already running on the Ethereum blockchain. Cryptokitties is a well known example.

I had just noticed that I've been seeing a lot of topics which are basically just like RSS feeds. Just 2 sentences of text, followed by a link to a blog or news website. In most cases, it's probably the blog author promoting his content. Which is probably fine, if they would only add it to Press instead of other boards. In other cases it's clearly just a way to up their post count. I mean, it's really easy to make 50 posts with just the content of an RSS feed Is it still considered copy/paste if they also add the source? |

I came across your post searching for the same terms. So, recently I've been scouring the web for airdrops and bounties. I'm really actually enjoying learning about the new [Suspicious link removed]panies and I've generated over 100 referral links in a short time. I figured it would be a good idea to compile them to share with friends and eventually put together this Steemit post and telegram channel. Crypto Referrals and Airdrop Links: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@mendocrypto/mendocrypto-airdrop-linksTelegram Airdrops Channel: https://t.me/mendocryptoairdropsSo far, I have a really limited following on Steemit and Telegram... like basically nobody. Not very many of my organic audience is involved in crypto. So, I'm thinking there will be some facebook groups and subthreads where referral links are permitted, but in general it's really hard not to come across as a total spammer. I mean, the real question here is, "what's the difference between an enthusiastic sincere community member's posts and those of a spammer?" Because you can basically engage communities out of sincere interest and desire to share, and be totally misunderstood. Ultimately, I think it will be necessary to make your referral links sort of an afterthought, you know? Like, it's there in your signature on your posts and people can scope it out if they like what you're saying about something else. That's how I would try to police things if I were the admins, but I haven't really read all of the guidelines on this forum yet and I have already earned myself a little ip ban from them which cost me a few precious Satoshis! Just my 2c. Usually I don't like seeing old threads like these being bumped, but in this case it's still pretty relevant. I've also been using Steemit to promote some referral links, but I don't do it by spamming. I try to write good articles and post 1 promotional banner with referral link under every article I write. This works pretty good and I've gotten quite a few referrals on different websites. Though gambling does not tend to be that popular on Steemit. You'd do better by promoting other things, ICO's perhaps? I've got 400 followers on Steemit, with my articles averaging around 10 - 15 USD. |

I think you can also add Qtum to your list, they have some working dapps. https://qtumeco.io/dapps Cardano is another platform for building dapps, not sure if they have existing dapps though. You might want to look into that a bit more. |
