22001  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to fix every Bitcoin dilemma... on: July 26, 2015, 07:46:00 AM
All we need to do in order to fix every Bitcoin problem is this? Why not ask the creator them self? "Satoshi Nakamoto" clearly mined the first block called 'the genesis block" if we could get Satoshi Nakamoto to send Bitcoin from the genesis block with a public note addressing different Bitcoin dilemmas. This would be proof for the solution, Therefore all Bitcoin problems would be solved. For if you ask, you shall receive...

All we need to do is get Satoshi Nakamotos attention because Satoshi Nakamoto is still here watching their beautiful creation...

The rest is up to you's...?

is it just me or is these sentences hard to understand?!!

i can't quite figure out what you are trying to say.
are you suggesting that if satoshi sends a message from genesis block (his old addresses with old coins in it) then the problems of bitcoin will be solved?!!

or are you trying to say that satishi is no longer working on bitcoin and should come back officially and announce it this ways to fix the problems?!!

or do you mean he should spend his old coins on the problems?!!
22002  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CRIME: Police Warn Bitcoin Helping Underage Drinksters Get Buzzed on: July 26, 2015, 07:39:14 AM
as long as i can remember the issue of underage drinking and using fake ids existed and they did it with fiat easily.
this article looks  like an stupid attempt to connect two things that are not related to each other.
22003  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass checking addresses? on: July 26, 2015, 07:34:53 AM
Is there a way to mass check addresses?

I've got 10k BTC addresses right now that i'd like to check since i'm working on something nice Wink

the only way to do that is to write the code yourself because nobody needs such a thing so there is no easy way to do this. i did that for myself but just to check a handful of addresses (<10).
usually users need to check a couple of addresses at most so they only need to make a watch wallet on any wallet service provide like blockchain.info or even what nydiacaskey01 suggested.

on the other hand i don't think any of them would let you use their service for that huge number of addresses. because it would exhaust a lot of resources.
22004  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many friends did you recommend bitcoin to? Did they accept it? on: July 26, 2015, 07:20:25 AM
For example I talked about bitcoin everyday, and my Grandpa is planning to buy.

at least she understand what bitcoin is about? or you told her that they are just money?

i think the problem with those that feel unsecure in using bitcoin is that they can't understand it well and how ti work, besides being lazy for securing their wealth

a part of the problem is because of the lack of enough places that accept bitcoin. for example you can convince anybody to use credit cards because they can use them almost everywhere , like in a shop, on an ATM or online in a lot of websites.

but when somebody buys bitcoin it would be just like buying stocks for a lot of them because there is not enough places that they can spend it. and it is more like an investment with high risks. which is why it turns a lot of people away from bitcoin.
22005  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Wallpaper - In Cryptography we trust on: July 26, 2015, 07:15:41 AM
it looks cool especially the golden shadow beneath the bitcoin logo, but i would have preferred a 1920 X 1080 resolution with complete black background and a slightly bigger logo.

also, the sentence with cryptocurrency instead of cryptography!

anyways good work.
22006  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.info and coinbase.com - are the most used web wallets ? on: July 26, 2015, 07:11:37 AM
Hi all,

Please i want to know if Blockchain.info and coinbase.com - are the most used web wallets ?


thank you .

yes. but it looks like blockchain.info is the most used online wallet and most used overall wallet between new users since it is easy to use and famous. also Coinbase is popular but i think the fact that you don't have access to your private keys might turn people around.

always remember that the online wallets are the least safe wallets that you can use for keeping your bitcoins. because you are essentially relying on somebody else to keep your coins safe.
22007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you expect from dice sites? on: July 26, 2015, 06:45:27 AM
Dice site ? ohh I don't play dice. I think it can be adjustable by the owner when you win and when you lose

If you play on provably fair dice sites, you can verify your bets to see if the site is scamming you.
If you play on non provably fair sites, not just dice but every games could be rigged.

sometimes i have the same feeling about dice gambling sites just like what "tennozer" said. it really feels like the game is against you sometimes, when you just keep losing whenever you expect that you should have won the bet.

but everybody says it is provabaly fair and you can check it, but i have always been too lazy to check the code and see how it even works.
have you ever checked the code and then checked the fairness with the code?
22008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much BTC have you gambled? (anonymous on: July 26, 2015, 06:40:49 AM
Always play until i have zero in wallet.. sadly and then continue working to find btc Sad

i always do this too, i gamble a lot and win continuously but after a while i hit a bad luck losing streak and i keep seeing red until all my balance and winnings are gone.

but i have decided to keep the maximum balance at a minimum so that whenever i start losing and don't stop, then all my bitcoins aren't lost this way since the maximum that i can lose in so small in this way.
22009  Economy / Gambling / Re: What are the dice sites with the lowest house edge? on: July 26, 2015, 06:35:06 AM
999dice is the lowest house edge site i know

but i haven't heard any good feedback about 999dice especially recently nothing is good about that site.
and it is always better to do some research before investing any website rather than losing your money there and then complain about losing a lot on a rigged site.
22010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How greedy you are? When will you stop and withdrawn? on: July 26, 2015, 06:30:47 AM
never gambled over 1 btc, i just make a little bet like 0.01-0.05 in total.
i dont want to risking money too much. because i earned it so hard and won't lose it all easily.
make 10% profit is more than enough for me.

this is actually very good. and i have been trying this for some time now. i just try to keep the amount i bet at a minimal level so that at the same time the losses are reduced and i won't lose a lot of money just in a blinking on an eye because of dumb luck.
22011  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why You Should NEVER Deposit To Primedice on: July 26, 2015, 06:23:24 AM
the only two things that are right are number 4 and 6 and the rest doesn't look like valid points to me since OP didn't provide any proof or even screenshots.

but the issue about the slow bets is really bothering because it takes a long time for people who want to use autobets and bet a large number of bets in their strategies. in comparison to other sites it is way slower.
22012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I will sell a significant part of my Bitcoin hodlings at price ... on: July 25, 2015, 05:29:32 AM
i totally depends on the market and how the price reaches the specific point . for example if the price continues to grow like this (gradually) i would never sell any of my coins ever. and i keep holding them for the future that more places are accepting it and the price is higher and then start spending them.

but if there is a pump comming and the price surges to a high enough level like $1000-$2000 i would surely consider selling a part of bitcoin stash for profiting .

You might be better off with Multibit than with Electrum. To me, Multibit is more user friendly and it looks and feels better to use. Electrum is kind of minimalist.

I have used Multibit for a long time and had to switch over to the Electrum because Electrum was first to support Trezor.

Of course, try both and see what you prefer.

Multibit HD is not free! but Electrum is. you need to pay small amount in order to be able to send every transaction from Multibit HD while electrum is free and never charge you for using it.

Yes you are right, however we are talking about cents. But if somebody is sending many transactions a day I guess it can add up. This doesn't seem to be OP's case though.

i know about that. and my issue is not with the amount. i don't like to be forced to pay for something that should be free in the first place, so i choose Electrum instead and donate to it happily (even more than what i would have paid in those fees in total).

but it is just me and there are still a lot of other users who prefer Multibit. it is just a matter of choice and preference.
22014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin Price Analysis for July and August on: July 25, 2015, 04:59:49 AM
this is a funny speculation and analysis of litecoin price that i have seen Cheesy

but i have to say that i agree with it and i am certainly keeping an eye on the market, because it might have another good opportunity of making a lot of money. especially because of the halving.
22015  Economy / Speculation / Re: Good old times could be back soon on: July 25, 2015, 04:52:01 AM
PS: BTC is and always was something you were supposed to trade and not blindly HODL IMHO. As in trading = buying and holding when expecting an uptrend, not being afraid to sell if a downtrend is expected. Even if it's only a few trades a year.
A much more efficient strategy than always holding and much safer (it allows you to avoid things like losing 70% of money invested in more than a year).


i like your postscript. this is i always try to do. i believe you either have to use bitcoin as a currency and don't even think about the market and speculations and spend it online or any other ways that are possible.
or when you decided to trade it, you shouldn't just hold your bitcoins and hope the price goes to $10K to sell then.
just look at topic "i will sell my bitcoin if price ...." the responds show that a lot of bitcoin users have this mentality to hold and hope for the break to sell then.
22016  Economy / Speculation / Re: Got my 1st BTC, and now? on: July 25, 2015, 04:45:05 AM
the easiest option is to keep holding on to your bitcoin stash and wait for the future price. but try to add more to it because 1BTC isn't really going to help you that much unless the price goes beyond the moon.

and as far as investment goes, just don't invest in anything shady like ponzi schemes or shady cloudmining. if you can, trading is always a good option to make more bitcoin but not easy.

22018  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My criticism of BitCoin on: July 25, 2015, 03:59:55 AM
I dont like BitCoin for these reasons:

1. The whole idea that someone can turn on his computer/GPU and "[ur l=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_network#Bitcoin_mining]bit mine[/url]" and earn money is ridiculous.
People should earn money when they work hard for it. Turning on a computer and leaving it to run does not and should not count.

bit mine as you put it , is a work too. the people who are leaving their computer on to mine bitcoin are confirming other people's transactions and helping the bitcoin network

This is a waste of electricity as well and therefore it causes greenhouse gases and has a [ur l=https://pando.com/2013/12/16/bitcoin-has-a-dark-side-its-carbon-footprint/]carbon footprint.[/url]

and cutting down trees and printing out paper money (cash) is eco-friendly?

Quote
2. One would think they came up with a new currency system so theft could be prevented. No, [ur l=https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=stolen+bitcoin]BC gets stolen all the time[/url].
Why couldn't they "disable" the serial numbers of the currency that was stolen? Thats the kind of system that should have been designed.

people get mugged, cars get hijacked, supermarkets get robbed, so i guess we should stop going out of our home and stop using cars, etc
why don't you google stolen vehicle, or people getting mugged in the street?

Quote
3. BC is unstable. People lost a lot of money ([ur l=http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-i-lost-half-of-my-retirement-investment-in-bitcoins-2014-10-07]one tiny example[/url]; there are probably hundreds and thousands) and they did nothing wrong. A good modern currency should not have this defect.

all those people lost their money because they have blindly put a lot of money in something they didn't understand how it works. then bought it at the highers peek of price with the hope "to get rich quickly over night" but their dream didn't come true. also they didn't want to accept that price is going up and sell, they held on to their bitcoin until it was late.

Quote
It does have positive points which is why many people are using it but it would have been nice if it didnt have the above problems.

One would think if a new digital currency was created it wouldnt have issues like this. Computers and software are so powerful now. It should have been possible to design a currency with none of the issues above.

"Then dont use it" Or "Why dont you make your own currency system?"
These are not valid responses so they shouldnt be said here.

it has problems, and nobody can deny them (not what you mentioned here) but it is a new technology and it should have these problems and they are getting fixed over time as it grows.
22019  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My 1 Year and 1/2 experience in Bitcoin world on: July 25, 2015, 03:44:45 AM
I'm failing to grasp the point of this thread. Are you saying that neither one of those things had any major affect in your life?
What decision exactly? Your English is kind of making it a bit tough to properly understand.

My point is that all i have done and all my decision in bitcoin for example trading and especially  buying a cloudmining contracts is a big mistake because many of the cloudmining contract i bought were gone and scam

don't worry about making mistakes. everybody makes mistakes.

the important part to keep in mind is to learn from your mistakes and never repeat them. i've made a lot of mistakes in my life , more than i care to admit but i always try to make better decisions based on the experience that i have gained and eliminate the bad ones.
22020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about those bitcoins that are LOST? on: July 25, 2015, 03:25:56 AM
And I mean really, really lost.
A lot of people can't remember their passwords after 4 minutes since they set it up.
But apart this, there's several ways bitcoins can get lost, like in example if you have a wallet on a USB key and this breaks and you have no cold backup.

This will inevitably bring, in the future, to less than those 21 million cap.
And they WILL keep going down.

Is there a plan to reintegrate them?

you need not worry about the future when the 21 million cap is reached because it is far far away.

also the price of bitcoin will determine whether the amount of available bitcoin is enough or not, besides there is not just 21 mil BTC there is much more because you have to consider every digit after the point too. i mean 1 satoshi (1e-8BTC) is usable and have value.

additionally 1 satoshi can be broken down into smaller units if needs be, with a simple change in the code.

If 1 satoshi can be broke  down, my question is how many the maximum it can be broken, what i mean is how many the maximum digit of the point behind 1 satoshi if we really need to do that ( adding digit point)

your question is so technical and i am not exactly an expert in computer language or programming but i think it depends on the variable that you are using , for example decimal can hold 28-29 significant digits with range of (-7.9 x 10^28 to 7.9 x 10^28) / (10^0 to ^28) in c#
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/364x0z75.aspx

but i guess you can deal with any number that requires more digits in a different way like breaking it down into smaller parts and then deal with it.
