21761  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Guys PLease fast answer this - is the private key all i need to control BTCs? on: July 14, 2015, 02:32:41 PM
if you want to check your bitcoin balance you should only give your bitcoin address and NOT private key. you can do that in any online block explorer:
www.blockchain.info http://btc.blockr.io

bitcoin addresses start with 1 or 3 and private keys usually start with 5

if you import your private keys in any wallet you can spend those coins.

p.s. move this to Beginners and help section
p.p.s. how are you a newbie with a member account?

You guys need to let this thread die. Martingale is massively EV-, it's more profitable to just bet your entire balance on one bet, with odds that you want.

martingale is the worst gambling method but it is the most popular and most used method at the same time too. so i guess this thread is not going to die that easily
and as you can see it has already got to page 80, and there is a lot of good perspectives and arguments in these pages too.

Do signup bonuses hurt or help you guys?  It has always hurt me.  Cry  Two or three different times at different casinos I won a fair amount of money and wanted to cash out but most do not allow you to cash out minus the bonus.  So basically they have always only hurt me rather than me benefit from them.

What are some of your experiences?

i lose most of the time so i don't get to the withdrawal part often Smiley
they usually don't let you withdraw the bonus unless you play a certain amount but i have never encountered the withdraw minus the bonus. it shows that the site is doing pretty badly that they can not afford to give away the bonus.
as far as my experience goes i did get a nice bonus on tothemoon site and played a little and won more and withdrew all of my balance which went through smoothly.

i have two questions about the system

How much does one BID cost? it says that it is 0.0001 BTC is this fixed for all the consecutive bids or will it grow by each bid?

if i bid as the last person and as the time is going to run out will i win the total pot or will the time extends so others have time to bid against the last person? in that case how long does the auctions usually take?
21767  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Most Popular & Trusted Bitcoin Game | Huge Community | Free BTC on: July 09, 2015, 05:25:52 AM
I don't prefer Primedice for all those users which have less connection speed. I had been facing this problem myself. I had been waiting for 7-8 minutes for Primedice site to load, Still it was loading. Due to usage of external resources like web fonts, JS your site has been a shit to load. If you guys can optimize it for users with slow speed connection, Would be good.

Thank you,

i am using a pretty slow internet speed and i have never had problem loading the PD's page up.
try a different browser, might fix your problem..

Hi everyone

What is the cold storage wallet?

And how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

any wallet that is created on an offline computer (or any other way that does not require a computer) and is kept offline can be called a cold storage.
it is for keeping your bitcoin safe from malware and theft.
depending on what kind of cold storage you want to use, making one can be different. easiest in my opinion is using an always offline computer and generate a wallet with Electrum.
there are step by step tutorials of creating cold storage (different ones) on the internet if you search.

i liked this thread for all the information it has in one place:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=858604.0


most likely a hardware wallet is save enough too:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899253.0

but it is not free Wink
21769  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Problems with Electrum on: July 09, 2015, 05:01:58 AM
~~
So I tried to restore my wallet using my seed, but when I open the seed, I can't click next so I guess it's not good. I also tried to directly open my seed with Electrum and it told me "invalid bitcoin URI." My seed is here C:\Users\Lenovo\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets, and I also know it's the good and only one...

what do you mean open "my seed with Electrum"?
for using your seed to restore your wallet you should choose "File" from the top menu, then "New/Restore" then give a name to the new wallet file and click "Save" the rest is what EcuaMobi said in top comment.

the location you gave "c:\...." is where your wallet file is located and you can restore your wallet with that file if you install Electrum again or on another PC, but it will still have password protection this way. (you need the password)

Quote
I succed to access my wallet by writing the receiving adress I used for bitstamp but it's useless without the seed...
Question : when are we supposed to use the 13 words they give us ??

I'm now lost as are my 0.4 bitcoins... I'm ready to give a few if someone can help me!

Thank's, have a good day  Smiley

you need your seed to restore your wallet as described above.

p.s. move your topic to electrum section of the forum.
and if you had trouble restoring with your seed you might find trusted members of the forum whom you can give your seed to , maybe they can find what you are doing wrong. but remember to not give your seed to anybody unless they are a trusted member.

trading is high risk even if you have the skills for it, it is much luck based, and one error may cancel the gains of several trades.

Don't trust what you hear here in the forum, many people just tell when they win or just lie

trading has high risks , that is true but it has nothing to do with luck. you are not gambling.

if you think that it is "much luck based" from your experience, they you have been doing many things wrong. you should not enter trading with the same mentality that you do when gambling.
trading will always have risks but there are ways to reduce this risks and make better decisions which will lead to successful trades and have positive net profit at the end of the day,
21771  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING AN ACCOUNT on: July 09, 2015, 04:42:18 AM
Are people still farming accounts, well at lease there is still a market for it, you really need a lot of free time to farm accounts on Bitcointalk.
Becoming a members is about a 2 month posting activity or so why not just wait.

As long as there are people who want to bypass the system there will be a market.  Chances are as there will always be account's for sell.

I still think people should raise their own account's.   Buying account's is just not a good way to start.  But I know there are those who will still do it.

it is not just people who farmed an account.
i am sure that there are many users that decide to sell their own account that have been using for long time, for many reason like needing the money or maybe they don't care if they start from scratch since not everyone is in signature campaign.

Why are you still posting here? This is out-dated threadd..

To show the doomsayers that we are still here and strong as ever? Funny how they got silent when the predictions were not true..

their efforts are no longer effective, everybody who has been into bitcoin and was checking speculation threads will recognize troll posts very easily.
and they are not silent, they continue their posting just switched accounts to hide...
21773  Economy / Speculation / Re: Speculation: Greece abandons the euro and adopts bitcoin on: July 09, 2015, 04:35:05 AM
this is just a dream by bitcoin users wishing to see the moon. i doubt that i can happen.
bitcoin is in its early stages and not still ready to be mass adopted. besides the government will not allow such thing because they can not control it and they are always better off printing their money .
on the other hand people are not ready and knowledgeable enough to accept bitcoin as their currency and for their day to day usage. there is a lot of old people who are confused to even use an ATM , let alone using bitcoin or a computer for that matter.
21774  Other / Off-topic / Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..." on: July 09, 2015, 04:23:19 AM
More than a few million in profit and Id be content and wouldnt mind converting back to good ol fiat.

it is sad to see people are still using bitcoin "just" for an investment to get a huge profit out of.

don't get me wrong i am doing the same thing too, i am a fan of speculation the market and get a nice profit out of bitcoin; but also i find the whole idea of bitcoin very interesting.
and i hope that some day the price reaches an stable state and it becomes more popular so that i can easily do my purchases from anywhere with bitcoin.
21775  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Personal Thank You to the MORONS fucking up the Blockchain on: July 09, 2015, 04:17:42 AM
Hey guys id like to say thank you for taking this testing that youre doing well beyond what you need to. While im sure the testing is a positive thing for the whole bitcoin community, im also sure all it has done for me so far is fuck me over. Due to this test ive been unable to withdraw my coins from an online casino(transactions for deposits havent confirmed), so instead of taking a win i degened all my chips off continuing to play. Not your fault im sure. you werent the degen pressing the buttons right? Yes thats correct, you werent, but you are the reason i couldnt withdraw. Youre also the reason the very micro amount of btc that i have left is stuck between 2 exchanges. 18 hours and still no confirmations thats fucking awesome. THANKS again.

Instead of having a good week, making a few dollars, and enjoying my relaxation time i am now broke and pissed off. You tech guys should really pat yourselves on the back for being such great people. I hope 1 day i get to return the favor to all of you.

this is no longer a Test it was the first and second time, and a lot of people (including me) found it interesting and wanted to know the results.
but as it continues to happen and most importantly since it is hurting the bitcoin users more than anything else, it is an Attack.

i was wondering where are all the developers right now. i was looking at reddit posts and i couldn't find any comments from anybody important on the matter and what they are doing to prevent this!!
21776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CITIBANK DEVELOPING ITS OWN CRYPTOCURRENCY on: July 09, 2015, 04:11:50 AM
you are asking a very weird question in your poll.
it is obvious that everybody would choose bitcoin over any new currency that is created by just copying bitcoin. and Citicoin is just another altcoin that is a copy. the only difference is that there is a big name (citi bank) behind the operation.
it might not even become open source and the bank decides to keep it to themselves and make it centralized.
21777  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unconfirmed transaction - 9 hours! on: July 09, 2015, 04:08:25 AM
Why is my transaction still unconfirmed? I have sent 0.06 to Bitmixer.io and it's unconfirmed for more than 9 hours, but address will stop working in 3 hours! I don't want to lose my coins, so.. Is there any way to get them back?

https://blockchain.info/tx/9fa3b45906a95cd9a7919161e08b1e2e238378da2858aabd363b21eb15aedaca

these recent attacks on the bitcoin network is getting out of hand. it is becomming everyday event and it is hurting everyone . the only thing there is for you to do is that you can contact their support with your information and ask them to extend the 3 hour period.
i am sure if you provide this information to their support they are going to help you out.
21778  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Debit Cards: A Real Alternative? on: July 09, 2015, 03:44:12 AM
Once a mere novelty, Bitcoin debit cards are getting smarter and their providers
are stepping up to ensure their products have a tangible competitive advantage.

However, can Bitcoin cards provide users with proper anonimity?


they can not provide any anonymity at all, because you have to go through their system an reveal your identity. but since many bitcoin users don't care about anonymity so i guess using these debit cards is not an issue for them.

anyways i don't see any benefit for using these debit cards, first of all the fees are high so you are better off using cash or any other ways that you have been using for payment. second you are not really using bitcoin, the card provider converts your bitcoin to fiat and you use that for high fees. which IMO it means just an unnecessary additional step.
21779  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Coinbase sucks on: July 09, 2015, 03:33:39 AM
coinbase rules for bitcoin is getting more and more ridiculous.

first there is all that verifications which negates the anonymity of bitcoin, then they will ban users that use bitcoin for gambling!! and not to mention the fees they charge. and now this is their new shenanigan for their users.

i don't know why anyone wants to use them except for just buying and transferring bitcoin out of there.
