Hello,

I'm new to bitcoin, Bitcoin Core advises me to generate a new public key for each incoming transaction. Why is that recommended?

Edit: is it because in this way, people can't see ALL your bitcoins?

Yes, it's to better protect you privacy, you don't need to do it, the majority of people doesn't do it, but it's a good practice.

Everything is blown bigger than it actually is. But if you'd see the how many of them there actually are.
I don't really complain because I've personally never seen a refugee with my own eyes. Most likely because our nation isn't so polite with the refugees, meaning the social benefits aren't that great. But there are people who live in villages with 100+ population, and they want to place ten times as many refugees there, just because they have nowhere else to put them.

somewhat funny video about a villager trying to confront the Minister of Immigration in her own way. But in reality I get it why she is worrying that much to put on a show.

Somewhat sadder video about the extent of this problem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44vzMNG2fZc

Like I've said, I have not personally seen a refugee with my own eyes. I don't have a problem with the refugees. But in 10-20 years time I guess I'm going to deal with immigrants on a daily basis.

Well, USA and EU fucked up the entire region, now we see the consequences, mostly in Europe.

In WWII nobody wanted to receive Jews also and we all know how that went...
2204  Economy / Economics / Re: Europe in Crisis on: December 01, 2015, 03:56:58 PM
I don't think EU will crash. Does EU have many problems, yes it does. But which big country doesn't have them, the whole world is pretty much in crisis! US, China, Brazil, Russia, etc, all of these countries have huge problems just like EU does.

EU has made a mistake that it was growing to fast and countries were accepted that were never ready for EU! EU can maybe shrink to the 8-9 biggest and stronger members, but it will not collapse completely!

Europe is not a country, they made the euro so they could be a union. One of the biggest problems that they have is Greece, that country alone puts the Euro in a lot of debt and problems for every single country in the EU

Greece is not the only one. Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain are in a very bad shape. That's why if the things really end up going south, I think that one of the solutions would be to keep the biggest economic power countries in the EU while the others would drop out of the union.

Second solution is that everything falls apart. I don't really see the third one!

Was there ever a time when there was no 'crisis'?

It has become normal, actually using bank transfer is quicker than bitcoin at the moment, and also cheaper if you live in a SEPA zone...
2206  Economy / Economics / Re: Europe in Crisis on: December 01, 2015, 09:06:15 AM
Prophets of the apocalypse come and go and the world is still spinning, the same can be said with these 'crisis' and 'economic collapses' types, they all have something in common, they fail in their predictions.
2207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: transaction takes too long on: November 30, 2015, 03:39:38 PM
Even without any attack in progress confirmations usually take too long if you don't pay a huge fee, it's better to stay away from bitcoin until the network can, at least, handle the normal daily transaction.

They have a strict view of the Kuran, so I guess they use whatever is described in Kuran for their currency/economic system.

Pretty sure they use dollars.
2209  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-30] Russian Gov Threatens Bitcoin Ban As 7% of Russians Use Bitcoin for on: November 30, 2015, 09:54:40 AM
No way 7% of Russians use bitcoin, that would be around 10 million people in Russia alone using bitcoin.

I don't think there's even 5 million people worldwide using bitcoin.

If you like warm weather you have to go the south, good climate, good food, Mediterranean region is the best place to live.

I believe in miracles and I think that they happen to exist every day in my life and in many other people’s life’s around the world.

So a miracle is just normal stuff that happens everyday than why call it miracle and not just stuff that happens everyday?

2213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinmap: A Visual Explanation for U.S. Bitcoin's Fail so far on: November 25, 2015, 05:45:24 PM
Well, it's no secret bitcoin is not yet widely adopted, but it is not mandatory to register your business in that website.

There are many places that do accept bitcoin but are not registered at coinmap.

Plus bitcoin is more suitable to be used online, even with mobile payments I'm not seeing bitcoin taking a substantial market share to make almost a 'mandatory' payment system to have in a shop.
2214  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why would customers use Bitcoins? on: November 25, 2015, 10:44:20 AM
There's no real benefit for average user, bitcoin is a lot harder to use, its volatile nature makes it a gamble to have, and it does not have the normal safe guards credit cards have.

Credit cards are credit, people only have to pay in the end of the month or when the cycle ends, that's probably why they are so common.

The benefit for the merchant is to appeal to a wider audience, specially when bitcoin price goes up and bitcoiners wanna spend their recently obtained riches.

Dude, don't throw money at random websites on the Interwebs promising huge returns.

You do realize that's a ponzi scheme and eventually it will collapse and then you'll come again crying they took your money.

Is the guy behind this scam already in jail?

How's the case going?

To scam websites the most incredible things happen...

Some day one of these scammers is going to say aliens stole the money.

Não me parece que aceitam bitcoin como forma de pagamento, mas podes sempre perguntar:

2219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 4+ hrs no confirmations on: November 11, 2015, 10:56:21 AM
The network can't handle current transaction volume, there's a permanent 2 or 3 MB of unconfirmed transactions, you should change currency, if there's a spike in bitcoin interest network will not be able to handle all those new transactions and you'll be unable to spend your coins.

2220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's Fate In 2140 on: November 11, 2015, 10:40:21 AM
We don't need to wait until 2140, in 20 years or so block reward will be small enough to see if the network can survive with current proof of work system.
