2041  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Venmo on: January 21, 2016, 09:36:57 AM
what are the fees on venmo?

If there's still fees, its similar to paypal. 
so , big deal.

plus its still moving fiat around.

bitcoin is a true p2p currency.

That's not exactly what I asked for honestly , I'm using Bitgold and I think it's legit . I made this thread to collect reviews from users who used Bitgold before .
To see if we should keep Bitgold.com on the scam list or not . So if you already used it please post your experience with them.

User satisfaction is very different from scam, the company is as legit as it comes, if you think they're scamming people you should report to proper authorities.

In the near future $6 transaction may be considered spam or with the rising fees the minimum transaction fee a couple of dollars, the small value remittances may not long last.
2045  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool full, spam/stress test on Bitcoin this day. on: January 20, 2016, 04:28:31 PM
a fuck that's why my transaction is stuck there forever, i got caught off guard this time, and there is written high priority

and yet many still say that 1mb is acceptable and the situation is not that bad, lol, something like this if was happening when bitcoin was well adopted, would cause major problem

I smell a rat.... Could it be someone or a group of people trying to artificially bump the transactions and filling the blocks to prepare for Bitcoin Classic? Nobody has warned

of a stress test, so let's see how long they can keep this up. The last stress test cost a shitload of money and it did not last long before everything returned to normal.

Just imagine everyone pushing for 2mb Block sizes and it happening ....THEN once it's done, everything goes back to normal and we cannot even fill a quarter of these blocks.   

Dude, it's been like this for weeks and today isn't even particularly bad.

DiCaprio has good chance of finally winning an Oscar, already won the Golden Globe, the Oscar is next.

When Leonardo Di Caprio fails to win an Oscar so he goes off the rails, joins the Russian military & becomes an alcoholic, cocaine addict.

You need to contact Bitfinex support, only they can help you....

Exactly, it's not necessaryly a scam. Contact support and let us know what they say!

Yes, but you have to remember how similar things happened to all past services. Withdrawals started to take too long or get stopped and the result is, stolen coins.

sure, and it happens too often but we can do anything for OP, he needs to contact the website's support...
2048  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin Core, XT, Classic, Unlimited or BitPay Core? on: January 20, 2016, 02:49:46 PM
I think an immediate increase in block size would be very positive.

If you load your twitter account with 7000 fake followers, then good luck on trying to remove them!

You will just ruin your account for $1


They'll probably drop after a few days...

Once I bought like 23k for 5 bucks, all of them droped after one week.

Everything is fine, 1MB block size is more than enough for current usage, in the future, when necessary we will scale bitcoin, there's plenty of time. Let's make another #ScalingBitcoin conference because consensus.

2051  Local / Portugal / Re: JornalBitcoin.pt on: January 20, 2016, 02:32:51 PM
A comunidade Bitcoin está dividida. No centro desta divisão está a forma de resolver o problema de escalabilidade da Bitcoin.

O facto da Bitcoin ter o tamanho dos blocos limitados a 1 MB é um problema cada vez maior, na medida em que não é suficiente para as necessidades actuais e tende a agravar-se com o passar do tempo.    

Um bloco de Bitcoin não é mais que um conjunto de transacções agregadas que, uma vez confirmadas, são distribuídas por todos os nós da rede.

http://jornalbitcoin.pt/index.php/artigos/item/410-a-bitcoin-em-estado-de-guerra-civil

Mas existe também o outro lado do problema: a blockchain completa no Bitcoin Core neste momento já ultrapassa os 50GB. Aumentando o tamanho do bloco a blockchain vai crescer demasiado, o que é incomportável para a maioria das pessoas que têm armazenamento limitado.

Isso não é nenhum problema da mesma forma que não estarmos todos a minerar no nosso computador pessoal não é problema.

Aqui está o plano original:

It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)
    maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.

When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.


On bitcoin's future:

“At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware.”

http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/2/

Quote
The design outlines a lightweight client that does not need the full block chain.  In the design PDF it's called Simplified Payment Verification.  The lightweight client can send and receive transactions, it just can't generate blocks.  It does not need to trust a node to verify payments, it can still verify them itself.

The lightweight client is not implemented yet, but the plan is to implement it when it's needed.  For now, everyone just runs a full network node.

I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less.  It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in.  The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.

At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.

The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale.  That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server.  The design supports letting users just be users.  The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be.  Those few nodes will be big server farms.  The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.

They can if you make a payment with inputs from several of your addresses, one can see in a block explorer those addresses in belong to the same wallet.

To avoid this you should use Coin Control or Shared Coin.

Well, you can dump the private key and import it to a lite wallet or to Blockchain.info, otherwise there's nothing you can do to speed up sync.
2058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trivia question regarding bitcoin usage on: January 19, 2016, 09:48:02 AM
I'm not looking for per person, I am just looking for the median value in an address.

It's 0,13159155 BTC/address.

How did come up with this figure?

If anything, it looks like an arithmetic average, OP was asking for median (middle value in a set of data). If the source I posted above is correct, over 97% of addresses with balance contain less than BTC0.001, so median will be somewhere in this bracket (0-0.001).


You're right, I've read it wrong.
