Create a website/faucet rotator, whichever is easier for you, in other language other than English, too much competition in English, do some SEO and wait.

Probably it will not compensate your time unless you can make it rank really high for "free bitcoins" related search terms.

I have thousands of faucets and other micro-earnings referrals and it did not compensate my time.

Enquanto que isto não fica decidido o melhor é desfazerem-se de bitcoins, a rede está congestionada e só vai piorar à medida que o uso e o interesse aumentam.

Saudações

Está a aconselhar a que os membros se desfaçam dos Bitcoins até a definição final?Huh

Exacto.

Gyft got $7.5 million in funding then it was acquired by First Data $14.99 billion...

Then they scammed those two dudes for thousands worth of Amazon's and hundreds in rewards points.

Now that's a business plan!
No way that's worth $15 billion LOL

5X the market cap of Bitcoin, get your facts straight.

Sorry, my bad, First Data is the one valued at 15 billion, not the acquisition.

O Gavin e o Mike abriram um grave precedente. Felizmente, parece que a maior parte não foi/vai na cantiga. Na pior das hipóteses ficam com a sua reputação manchada na comunidade. Se a solução deles fosse realmente a melhor, deviam prová-la tecnicamente e não desta forma forçada. Pessoalmente espero que não tenha os "adeptos" necessários e que sirva de lição a toda a comunidade.

BIP101 está activo na testnet e vai haver fork em breve, aí vamos ver se é realmente sólido ou não.

Que eu saiba esta é a proposta com mais desenvolvimento.

Penso que o BIP100 é o que neste momento tem um maior número de votos por parte dos mineiros, pelo menos, de acordo com https://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/block_size_votes .

O código já foi escrito, testado?

Bitcoin denominated transactions can be made outside of the Bitcoin's blockchain. Microtransactions are simply not compatible with engineering demand of the blockchain and will be relegated to payment channels soon enough.

Bitcoin is in fact best suited for large transactions (settlements).

If a transaction is not valuable enough to cover the costs of the network security then it doesn't belong on the blockchain.

Is that what Blockstream has decided bitcoin should be?

Because that's not the original plan...

Long before the network gets anywhere near as large as that, it would be safe
for users to use Simplified Payment Verification (section Cool to check for
double spending, which only requires having the chain of block headers, or
about 12KB per day. Only people trying to create new coins would need to run
network nodes. 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. A server farm would
only need to have one node on the network and the rest of the LAN connects with
that one node.

The bandwidth might not be as prohibitive as you think. A typical transaction
would be about 400 bytes (ECC is nicely compact). Each transaction has to be
broadcast twice, so lets say 1KB per transaction. Visa processed 37 billion
transactions in FY2008, or an average of 100 million transactions per day.
That many transactions would take 100GB of bandwidth, or the size of 12 DVD or
2 HD quality movies, or about $18 worth of bandwidth at current prices.

If the network were to get that big, it would take several years, and by then,
sending 2 HD movies over the Internet would probably not seem like a big deal.

More than 4000 unconfirmed transactions, total size 3382.8271 (KB), latest blocks very near 1MB.

https://blockchain.info/en/unconfirmed-transactions

I wouldn't call this "barely any activity on the network."

Yep, mostly uneconomic spam not valuable enough for their sender to include a reasonable fee.

Microtransactions, if that's what you're referring to, are not spam, if people want to make big transactions and pay a big fee there are lots of better systems than bitcoin.

"I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large (bitcoin) transaction volume or no volume."

Not

I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be no (bitcoin) transaction volume or the volume development team thinks is valuable enough to occur.

From current volume to VISA level volume there are a lot of numbers between...

Network is saturated today, the problem is right now!

I talk frequently with friends and family about bitcoin, I like to blow people's mind. Smiley

And I always advise not to buy, usually that's not even a problem because they are not tech savvy enough to do it...

Because I'm waiting for a confirmation for the last 3 hours and there are 3MB in unconfirmed transactions...

Try paying a fee and not using ad-sig campaigns or faucets or the like to get your coins (which I presume are mostly actually *dust*).

Satoshi never mentioned that Bitcoin should be engineered in a way to suit people to make money from posting rubbish on forums.


You must be a genius!

Dude, even if everyone payed a fee of 1 bitcoin the problem is still there, there's not enough room for all the transactions!

It's not the big block supporters who are censoring, banning, DDoSing.

Not liking XT does not equate to not supporting larger blocks - you do realise that there are several BIPs for bigger blocks?

(again you are a typical XT shill who just pretends that BIP101 is the only bigger block proposal out there)

If Mike Hearn wasn't doing things like refusing to go to meetups with core developers, miners and major businesses then maybe he would have more credibility but instead he keeps on pushing to become the CEO of Bitcoin which it appears very few people apart from Coinbase want.


Which BIP has been chosen?

Where can see the tests? How soon will it enter the main network?

 Roll Eyes gimme a break. BIP101 was barely tested.

why do you seem to be in a such a hurry?

Because I'm waiting for a confirmation for the last 3 hours and there are 3MB in unconfirmed transactions...

We need the upgrade now!

And why are you so relaxed?
2235  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: US Only Buy Bitcoin with Credit or Debit on: November 09, 2015, 03:44:10 PM
Yeah, coin base was pretty awesome, but the account that I have verified is tied to an old phone number that I don't have anymore and I can't authorize the "strange ip address" to access the account.

Bitquick.co allows one to deposit cash into a bank account at a local credit union. The rates are, however, about $15 over the market value, and I don't know if that's fair for the amount of risk I am assuming this way.

Then, just change the phone number associated with your account, if the account is verified contact their support to make the change.

XT shills as opposed to Blockstream shills?
Spreading correct information != shill. How about you actually educate yourself? Someone deluded you into thinking either: 1) That the solution to the problem from Core are sidechains; 2) Blockstream will profit from Lightning Network; 3) Bloating the blockchain (with coffee purchases) is the right thing to do.




People don't want to listen to my bullshit, thus they are censoring me!  Roll Eyes

Have you looked at the network lately?

I'm trying to get rid of my bitcoins and having difficulty in doing so, 3 MB in unconfirmed transactions?

If another spike in bitcoin happens the network will become practically impossible to use.

Doing nothing is not an option!
