201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be replaced by another cryptocurrency? on: March 28, 2017, 05:22:37 PM
I should have bought some altcoin back then, would have made quite a good ROI

At least I bought some now.   

Since this debate is far from over, I guess the altcoin market has still a lot of headroom.
zimmah, seeing the lobster avatar by chance you know what happened to that zoidberg developer and his Louisd’or project?

Faster confirmations, cheaper fees = segwit + schnorr sigs

Instant confirmations, near free = LN

blocksize remains reasonable to be run under average computer = decentralized network

Core Roadmap = the best

Any questions?

Hard fork?

In the end it will become a Hard Fork. Just because the fractions can't settle. No Hardfork would require unity which isn't existing.

"more safe" seems misphrased. More the other way around, which are "unsafe" as in loosing your deposited funds.
My troubles are temporary, seemingly. We will see.

Got BTC withdrawals stuck on Bter and HitBTC. The later introduced a BU derivate preceding a potential hardfork, and if a site does similar they can't allow withdrawals. Bter follows PBoC policy? Thought that has been exchanger's private incentive along comformity.

I think POW will never work for crypto coins.

fucked up POS WILL NEVER WORK

Just a minor fuckup, never mind  Cheesy

Overly specialized hardware is the problem. Still remembering FPGAs? Probably you do. Or GPUs?
I know this is hard to swallow.

How I see it: I've convinced myself that the bitcoin price will be significantly higher at some point in time. Reason enough for me to hold through everything.
I would advise to keep some eggs in another basket. Don't place all eggs into one basket.
Those rules maybe ancient, but have proven themselfes since some time.
but what other basket would have so much profit potential as Bitcoin²
i have heard that Onecoin, Pepecash are very good alternatives. Lets face it: Onecoin did the most extraordinary thing that not a single cryptocurrency ever did: calling itself a bitcoin 2.0 without a blockchain Roll Eyes. They are so awesome that they dont need blockchain to call themself bitcoin 2.0 and Pepecash because evil Pepe will destroy everything.  Lesson : 100% in bitcoin or agree with second choice alternatives.

Both Onecoin and Pepecash are no serious suggestions. Easy to spot duds. Stay on toppic!

Exactly! Was going to start a business not a long time ago but when I found out how much should I invest in equipment, vehicles, salaries, premises rent etc and compared to the potential profit I asked myself why? My BTCs are earning more just by sitting in my cold wallet.  Roll Eyes

That seems more bussiness focused. You can differentiate inside the bitcoin sphere, too. Investment on mining equipment. Close relatives like Litecoin. Regarding salaries I am still waiting for a more structured trading company that would hire traders. So far, we all are on our own.

208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Copy-Paste Virus For Bitcoin Users -- Beware!!! on: March 27, 2017, 02:46:44 PM
This kind of Viruses came from Miners for PC. Like MinerGate, nichehash miner etc. Never download this.
Surprised that still works. On a desktop PC there is no sensible mining doable anymore. And handling funds should take place far away from any production mining site, known best practise.
209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CAN WE SEND BTC WITHOUT ANY FEES??? on: March 27, 2017, 02:43:42 PM
Fairly recently I got a 0-fee transactions through but it did take 11 days.  Your mileage may vary.  Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future behavior.  Be prepared to recover if your transaction doesn't ever go through.
On my knowledge the mempool times out earlier than 11 days. Assuming you needed to restart your wallet using zapwallettxes=1 and sending same amount again?

But @OP "yes" you can send without any fees. It's just a ballot if those reach their destination, at all. Just adding 1 Satoshi to each byte works marvels.
210  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Does an ASIC miner currently have a smaller repayment time than solar panels? on: March 27, 2017, 02:56:14 AM
The best time to do anything is long before you need it...

A solar system has alternate uses than just complementing a bitcoin mining operation.

Honestly it makes sense whether you mine or not.
It's about independance. The Guerrilla Solar Movement taken for example. Hackaday pointed at the possibilities back in 2005.
211  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex: Suspending my withdrawals until Level 2 verification. on: March 27, 2017, 01:43:40 AM
Poloniex probably run out of nonexistent money for their shitcoin pumps and become next Mt.Gox. Good luck with withdrawals. If they don't have coins "delays" and "security checks" awaiting all users before "hacker attack" appear and they officially go offline.

That's exactly been my thoughts while reading through this. Experienced the same behavior from other exitscamming sites like Mintpal, Cryptsy, ...
212  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How can terrorism be stopped on: March 27, 2017, 01:34:37 AM
We cant stop terrorism even we offered something to them.
We have own beliefs and faith that we fighting for and im think terrorist have too
To me they seem to be somehow dropouts from former "stable roaming spaces", choosen a broad descriptive term on purpose.

You can fall out of an economy.
The area you have been living a normal live before has fallen prey to war. War is a bussiness in our modern times. This can hit any area.
You can loose your former believes, falling for some loosely religiously envoven embasslement. Come on, dying for allah is a deathtrap. Only people hinged in utterly loose can take that "chance".

What to offer them? Some sort of structure would be required, a perspective leading onwards into some sort of future. That requires less shooting in their living area, which is vicious circle not so easy to break open once it has been started.

You bunch of panic sellers, it is actually looking good again for the first time. Smiley
On thirty days backwards we are making lower lows. The hights dropping sharper since eleven days, that marks the transition from bullish into bearish mode.
214  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 26, 2017, 11:57:31 AM
Holding and playing long term beats most day and short term traders but some day and short term traders use profitable techniques. Their feelings and techniques can be ev>0 for years then not anymore but being connected to the market and projecting a deep and being right is not only related to bare luck.
Luck is winning sometimes, skill equals winning mostly.
These profitable techniques can shoot your own toes if done too often. Shorting traps, worthless derivatives and such.
215  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-03-25]Why The Bitcoin Miners Are Destined To Lose The Hard Fork Wars on: March 26, 2017, 10:38:53 AM
Someone on an exchange chatbox (trolling Roll Eyes ) talking about locking their wallet before all the pools decide to do the hard fork.
It sounds as if there is some co ordination going on with this and people will know before it happens so to capitalize on it for their own greedy gains.  Undecided

Naw, you read them wrong. They meant storing their Bitcoins inside their own wallets doing nothing. It's the safest place on earth if some forkery fuckuppery happens. The BTCs on trade site aren't that safe. Site owners can decide upon the outcome you would hand over your future
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: uno Storage Vault still doesn't sync on: March 26, 2017, 10:35:07 AM
Hello Uno Community,
Anton, paste your question into
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0
that's the right place where people use the same coin/wallet.
Here people might not know any answer.
217  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-03-25]Why The Bitcoin Miners Are Destined To Lose The Hard Fork Wars on: March 26, 2017, 01:28:28 AM
The market will decide who wins, and anybody who is not a miner wants to stick with Core and their chain. The miners are one thing, the market is something else. The miners might win a battle, but they would lose that war. They should keep that in mind.

The devious question would be: Why aren't we all, everybody of us, no miners no more?
Just playing the devil's advocate here
218  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need more bitcoin methods on: March 25, 2017, 11:00:09 PM
Do you know any good places to start investing?

Ideally one would purchase/rent mining power, either own farm or cloud mining but both ways have run stale somehow. Exaggerated equipment purchase pricings, declining revenue, outright ponzi scamms. The scene shot it's own foot.
Start searching for cheap electricity first, then purchase some used mining stuff. Rocky pathways.

There is the Lending subsection https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0 where you can try to get some interest rate. A more indirect method would be taking the topmost exchangers from this list https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/ where some offer margin trading, where you can rent out your portfolio. That's mostly risk-free but low revenue. Volume higher, from my perception.

Investing into one's own skill development might pay of best, there is a freelance website somewhere (sombody got link?).
219  Economy / Speculation / Re: Shall we hold bitcoin for now ...wil price rise in future on: March 25, 2017, 10:48:26 PM
Have faith friend. Bitcoin always goes back up.
Peak FUD has been exceeded, doublebottom confirmed 14 hours ago. It's a silly game if one keeps watching the BTU token trades, now we are gambling on fork futures WTF?!
A financial revolution should look very different from that.
220  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction fees/how much does it cost to send bitcoin? on: March 25, 2017, 12:35:22 PM
I understand that fees to send bitcoin are based on amount of data. But how do I know how much data is required?
You don't need to know.

The core client takes a configuration value in bitcoins per kilobyte. You don't have to provide the data amount at any input field.
Rule by thumb (for the curious) are 500 bytes transaction size on average, smallest like 226 bytes. But again, you cannot change the size at all. You can only configure the client on satoshi amount paid per byte. Could pay 1 sat / 1 byte and let it timeout from mempool, just sending again with 1 sat. A tradeof between fees and transacting timespan.
