we can see toy market is quite high so if bitcoin can enter this market than it will not only increase the use of bitcoin  but it will also promote about bitcoin to familes also even to those future guys.

How about a bitMONOPOLY? Bits instead of dollars, exchanges instead of banks. Quite a good way to spend family time with the kids don't you think?  Grin Grin

They went bankrupt a while ago and there was quite a scandal with the "millionaire" wages they paid some of their employees. They still exist and they were apparently restructuring and had a new roadmap. Let's see what they come up with, I highly doubt that it will be anything worthwhile after all the troubles they had.

Then they'll start looking for donations and the cycle goes all over again.  Cool

Try coins.ph. Although the main market is in PH they also service clients in SEA as far as I know. No paypal though.

You can also try GateCoin or ANXBTC

3 months until we face the next halving. Unless the price doubles, 90% of current miners will have to shut down. Investing into cloud mining ATM s a very, very, VERY bad decision.

Investing in cloudmining way back was still a bad decision. Only these mining companies are the ones that profits, not the normal people - unless you bought s7s and sold early. Even HashNest's S5 which was profitable like a bit over 2 months ago is hanging by the cliff at 92% profit/maintenance costs today.

I don't know why but seeing this as the first comment just cracked me up. rotfl CheesyBTC

True, this thread is gold. Why isn't the OP being updated?  It's been years now Grin Grin
1946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Remains Most Popular Digital Currency on Dark Web on: March 22, 2016, 11:23:06 PM
Is anyone surprised? For fast, hidden payments, nothing beats BTC. Some altcoins could be better in the future, but not enough people trust them right now. It would be a dark day for BTC if it's ever beaten by an altcoin on the dark web.

While it kinda helps the economy and adoption, the downside is lay-men associate BTC with dark web and drugs. Actually I've seen a facebook post by a nobody that tries to explain what dark net is, and he downright said that bitcoin is the money of criminals. It got shared like more than a few thousand times. It's bad reputation.

The open network and the fact anyone can see the transactions and view them, This legitimacy and open nature makes it one of the best currencies in the world IMO.

Well you can only see them come-and-go, but not know who those people are. It's not that open and legitimate from 'legal' opinions.

I like bitcoin because I can send and remit money without much of a cost, unlike WU or Moneygram.

I'd probably say 'Ever heard of the magic internet money?'

Kinda outdated tho, I'm gonna look like some MMM representative.
1949  Other / Off-topic / Re: du you spend coins on real life. on: March 18, 2016, 09:08:24 AM
If i will have a chance i would spend them but currently no shop near me accepts bitcoin, unless i have a bitcoin debit card and use as a normal debit card to purchase things.

If there was also a new store that would accept bitcoin here as payment then that would be great to spend is daily but so far there no shop at the moment that is accepting it.

Well currently I think most of the brick-and-mortar shops accepting bitcoin are in first tier countries. There are a lot of online shops that accept bitcoin though, I for myself use only btc for hosting payments.

I've got 1k GHs of S5 in there that I left for about a month already. Right now at 88% Maintenance/Payout I'm really starting to think there won't be ROI anytime anymore. I hope the story is different for S7s, is it?
1951  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stable Bitcoin Price on: March 16, 2016, 04:43:52 PM
The price right now is far from stable its everyday staggering from 400 dollar to 420 if you ask me its not stable at all and it never been of course.
Maybe in the future there is a chance it will be stable, in about 2 years or something.
Its indeed not stable at all but the future may learn it if I'm honest I think the bitcoin can be stable very soon it all depends on one thing
It depends on the halving if the halving is good the bitcoin will be stable soon after it.

$400 to $420 is a little bit stable all right, I mean it has been that way for weeks now so maybe that range is the new floor. If it's gonna jump like $30-$50 per day then $10-$15 for the next few days then that's unstable IMO.
1952  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People mocking of me for using Bitcoin on: March 16, 2016, 03:36:41 PM
Consider yourself an innovator, People think about making fun of anyone coming with anything new, You where the one making the first move and you can be one of the innovators in the future when bitcoin is mainstream.

Actually even my brother thinks bitcoin is now 'defunct' because of the Gox fiasco years ago. I don't have anything against him, so instead I just give a nod and agree with him. He thinks I already stayed away from btc.

Up to now he still doesn't know that I'm still into this. As long as they don't mind me I don't mind them too.

With the innovator part, not exactly sure.

Hi was the Press release submitted to CoinDesk? I didn't catch it in there if it still hasn't I think it's a good idea to have it published there.

http://www.coindesk.com/press-release-submission/

I know a lot of RSS syndicators are also getting their feed from there and that would really improve visibility aside from the huge traffic CoinDesk has.
1955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: advantage of bitcoin debit card? on: March 08, 2016, 12:28:19 PM
Advantage is being able to spend your bitcoins where they're not yet accepted, disadvantage is, you're trusting a company of which you know nothing about with your money.

This is not exactly true.  A better way to say it is:
Advantage is being able to spend your bitcoins where they're not yet accepted, disadvantage is, you're trusting a company of which you know nothing about with your spending money.

If you have 1000 bitcoins, keep 998 on a paper wallet.  Then put 2BTC into a debit card.  From time to time when you'd like to spend some BTC pull out the debit card and spend your BTC at 100 million convenient merchants everywhere in the world.  

Bitcoin debit cards are awesome.  Get one today.  I'd use Coinbase(safety) / Shift (convenient).  Go here and sign up now. https://www.shiftpayments.com/

When BTC price goes on a big up swing, I use my card to spend off a few.  Then when I see price going down, I buy them back cheaper.  A Bitcoin debit card lets you have very high liquidity necessary for good 'day' trading.  Basically, my bitcoin profits buy me and my girl dinner and drinks about two or three times a month.  Nice.

Haven't thought of using it that way, I have one for Uber, the thing is Uber rejected it. So I have a few dollars hangin on that card.

Doesn't exchanges have higher rates? I mean the margin in trading in cards is pretty stiff compared with using an exchange.
1956  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think the price will rise again above $400 on: March 07, 2016, 09:52:27 AM
it's allready rising, halving will happen in september, and  i think price will rise even before halving, also it will rise after halving

The halving will happen in June because of the hash rate increase. It was predicted to be in July 2016.

Hash rate always changes - difficulty adjusts to compensate, ensuring that blocks are found every 10 minutes on average.

Bitcoinclock is still showing July (13th), but you can probably work it out in your head - we've just passed the 400,000th block, leaving 20,000 blocks to halving. 20,000 blocks is (on average) 200,000 minutes. Google tells me 200,000 minutes is ~139 days away, roughly July 12th.
Of course that is going to happen

Well not unless there's a new development in the bitcoin universe that would leave a bad press then IMO we would have a pretty favorable year, even $600 sounds a bit low for the halving.

Hi I'm a bit confused I'm sorry but the 5 ENRG block reward would kick in by block 2.1m right? So we're still in the percentage stake rewards?

It's Brooklyn VS Minnesota and Houston vs Chicago tonight. I'm feeling good about MIN and HOU winning, coz it looks like Harden is on the roll for the last few days, plus let's see what Michael Beasley got for the team.


1959  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO: Core Team is a "Systemic Threat" on: March 05, 2016, 07:51:21 AM
Sad to see how Bitcoin is shooting itself in the foot with all of this nonsense.

It's not entirely non-sense, because providing an alternative and letting the miners do the voting is in a way the most adherent to the libertarian ideologies. Unlike having a single body that solely implements all updates. It's just the manner he's doing it, ecause IMO it's his fault to not have defended what his ideas were to a round table discussion with developers.

Congrats on that, let's get the press release to multiple news agencies and start making deals with companies. A central rewards network that is active on a lot of online shops is a real good product IMO.
