I picked up some of these yesterday when I logged into Bittrex and saw that there was a 200% increase, usually at that level I would never pick anything up but had a quick look on here and decided it might be worth the risk and I do like the name.

Yeah, this is what will probably happen, what goes up must come down and tomorrow is the day that will do something to the price anyway however short term it is.

If something like this is no good for bitcoin mining would it be useful to mine other coins or is the RAM not enough for other coins?

edit: 
Suppose you can just spend a bit more and get 1gb or 2gb

This cannot be a serious question, no way in hell or any other place this will ever be worth a million $ we won't ever see 1 bitcoin equaling a million $.

I heard about it on the news when it was at it's height price wise, well I did hear about it every now and then before that but when I saw it on the news it got me interested.
How can this be worth so much and how can I get some so I googled and came here and then looked at how to get some so ended up with faucets and then using those small bits to trade against altcoins and been here ever since.

That is a very nice win, I never win big on these games it is a trap as you think you could maybe win the jackpot so you keep on going but in the end the only winners are the ones who walk away well except this guy

There is a bitcoin black Friday going on if you click my signature you will see there the schedule 

What a cool site, looks like they have the right idea in not holding any bitcoin either so really reduces the chances of being targeted by hackers. 
We all know how much screaming out there has been done for a bitcoin to Paypal service so looks like one is here, whether it sticks around only time will tell.

I think an important quote is

"A GhostSec member said ISIS’ virtual currency amounts to between 1 percent and 3 percent of its total income – between $4.7 million and $15.6 million. The Treasury Department estimates that ISIS generates between $468 million and $520 million annually. The terror group’s primary sources of revenue are robbery, extortion, oil sales, ransom payments and overseas donations, according to the Treasury Department."

The overwhelming majority of the funds is fiat.

Not that much of a fan of this article, bitcoin is hardly a dying technology, the price has been static for months and this is a bad thing? I would think it is a good thing to have a stable price and then over time if it rises it is a natural rise.

bitcoin might not be at the forefront of all the attention right now like the blockchain is but bitcoin the currency is still there and still carrying itself well even amidst all the negative spin such as links to terrorism and so on.

These companies are not hanging their head in shame either, they are still bitcoin friendly but are adapting to the current climate with their focus.

Interesting, this is something that would interest a lot of people who have coins just sitting around.  A good point mentioned above me is where will the money come for the interest? this will need to be explained before they can be taken seriously as this is a very important point, will sign up for the updates.

I think altcoins do provide a benefit, bitcoin is not going to be altered that much but with altcoins there is the room to use the blockchain in ways that bitcoin does not, for example proof of stake is one feature which a lot of the altcoins have been using over the past year or so.

Up to now though we haven't seen many altcoins really breaking out on their own, litecoin is the little brother of bitcoin just hanging about and then doge went mental for a while but has settled back down, don't get me wrong there are some altcoins out there that might break on through to the other side but for now they seem to be a way for people to quickly make a profit off of bitcoin.

I can't see the price drastically changing on Friday, there might be a slight increase in transactions but unless people go crazy I don't think we'll see much movement.

As others have said it is near impossible to make that without doing anything, as a newbie there are a couple of signature campaigns out there such as Yobit which will accept you.

Bear in mind that you should not be posting drivel or you might not be accepted for any future campaigns when your rank increases, by joining a campaign you will also have the opportunity to learn as go.

There are also faucets which are free but you do need to spend a lot of time to make anything unless you can get a decent amount of referrals and even then it's not a huge amount.

Blockchain, blockchain, blockchain, they all steer away from bitcoin and talk about the blockchain as the interesting part of bitcoin this is a pattern over the last few weeks with the banks, sweeping bitcoin to the side and focusing on the blockchain. 
Still good to see it is being talked about and there is some focus.

Haha world war 3 is coming so find another business, you could be right in this regard we could be coming up to another potential world war scenario.

There have been lots of entrants into gambling trying to set themselves up but the market is not as big as you would think really for them to just attract thousands of players instantly, people will tend to stick with tried and tested companies that they know work and have been around for a while.

I wouldn't say give up and don't bother as we always need people starting new business.

I am sure this is only in the Beta phase as I was reading the thread for battlecoin yesterday so there will be bugs and a lot more work to do, best to post your concerns over in their thread and if the dev is not already aware of this which he really should be then he can address it.

You should really have a look at the alternative coin area as there are specific threads for mining and for each coin, my advice to you is to have a look and research a coins value and potential before wasting your power on it.  Here is a link to the mining section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0

This is a good site which can help you to work out potential profits based on electricity use and so on https://www.whattomine.com/asic might be worth a look.

I think if there were a lot of people that simply ask "do you accept bitcoin" this would make the business think to themselves everyone is asking about this bitcoin thing let me find out what it is and then once they look into it they may adopt it or even come back to you to ask for more information.

Other larger companies with an online space would have systems where they log support queries so over time if they keep getting the same query they will no doubt look into it or already be looking into it.

Not really surprised at this if it is a dodgy wallet, this is one of the reasons I have stopped looking in the altcoin section, it has just become a hotbed for scams and virus contained wallets, not many honest projects being released apart from the odd one or two.
