With a gig, you can:

Stream—without buffering—at least 5 high-definition videos (1080p) at the same time and still have enough bandwidth to email and surf the web.

Transfer data over the Internet faster than you can write data to a thumb drive.

Download data as fast as many computers can save the data to a hard drive.

Download an entire digital movie (14 GB) in a little under 2 minutes.

Bitcoin is irreversible -- that's one thing I like. On the other hand, I also like how it can be accessible everywhere just using your smartphone. Although gaypal has the same option, bitcoin on the other hand has more value and as i said, irreversible. The technology behind bitcoin is also unique and good. Very secured too.
this feature of bitcoin is actually both a good and a bad thing.

i love the fact that bitcoin transactions is not reversible and when you send bitcoin to someone there is nothing you can do about it anymore, this eliminates a lot of scamming which we can see happening with paypal.

but the bad part is that when you send bitcoin like for buying something you have to trust the receiver or else you have lost your bitcoin with no way to take it back.

they should ban cash too, because it can be used for drug, and their currency is not free from this, basically many other thing can be used for buying drug, they are using this excuse only to throw more fud at bitcoin , as usual

people are already using cash, so it doesn't matter , you don't need to convince people if fiat is good or bad. but it is different about bitcoin. when (if) media is advertising bitcoin as being associated with criminal activity like they do with some news, then new adopters might get scared and stay away.

Invalid to address is probably because you are typing something wrong.
post the bitcoin address that you want to sent to.

the second part might be because you imported a private key in your wallet.
did you import any new address / private key in your wallet?

22224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we stress testing again? on: July 07, 2015, 07:06:02 AM
i think it is time that developers do something about this issue, it is getting more and more annoying . the number of people being affected by this alleged stress testing is growing everyday.

i am not sure that bigger block sizes can be the solution to this problem, but something definitely needs to be done, and it needs to be done fast.
22225  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price is fighting to $300 in July! on: July 07, 2015, 05:39:01 AM
It's funny looking at the first comments in this thread. We've already seen 280, we have 20+ days to surpass those 20 remaining dollars for 300. It's obvious people isn't objective anymore about the price and went on the depressive mode instead of the realistic one.
last month because of the quite market and all the negative trolls nobody even thought of the price going to $300 but after the Greece news and reversal of the market it is a strong possibility.
I think after a small pull back we can see a runup at the end of the week and we may even see $300 by the end of next week.
22226  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin goes to 1200-1300 within a month. on: July 07, 2015, 05:30:55 AM

Are you sure we will see $1200 level this month???
I have a friend who wants to sell his coins but waiting for $300 level, should he wait or should he sell all his coins???


What did he pay for them? If it's a quick flip and he's not too bothered about the future then why not?

If he paid more and just wants to get out, might as well sit it out and see where it heads. It might be starting to warm up.

He didn't purchase those coins, he got them gambling at some dice sites, and got a 0.75 BTC tip at luckyb.it (not advertising, just letting everyone know) recently, so he was asking whether he should wait or just sell them at current prices...

If ppl are saying that he should wait till next year for $300, then why the OP is claiming for BTC to be at 1200-1300 level this month???
i think it is best to keep your bitcoin as long as you can. especially if you don't need the money or it is a small amount and doesn't change anything.
now that the price is rising and continuing this way, and since there is a block halving on the way next year, all these can be good points to make you keep your coins.

ahh you know why? because you can't buy anything with dogecoin, their creators left the community and there is simply no demand and usage, except pump and dump scenarios..
i see a lot of places that you can spend dogecoin.
some of the things that you can buy with dogecoin:
  • Gift Cards
  • Jewelry, Accessories & Apparel
  • Coffee Mugs, Office supplies & Cell phone cases
  • Food/Health
  • Music
  • Games
  • Collectibles(comics)
  • Art
  • Hardware & Software
  • Web Design, Development, Hosting services
  • Toys
  • Movies
  • Sports & Equipment
  • Books
  • Stickers
  • Services
  • Physical Dogecoins
  • E-cigs, Glass pipes and Vapor products

doesn't matter how long you list is, you can buy all stuff mentioned above with bitcoin. I enjoyed initial hype, strong community, cool leaders (Palmer, Doernberg..) and charity projects..but for last couple of months, there is nothing new (if something except meme pictures with shiba inu, let me know..) and dogecoin just stuck somehow as many similar projects..
i totally agree, i didn't want to advertise anything about Dogecoin. i just wanted to say that there are many things that can be bought with it. i haven't even check the links to see how of them are working or legit.

it is a dead coin with nothing new as far as i am concerned. nowadays it has a price rise but after the litecoin hype ends , Doge will start going down again.
Doge is just a meme and i only enjoy the community that is all.
22228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin leads the way - bitcoin will follow on: July 07, 2015, 05:12:52 AM
Next target $6?
because of the litecoin block halving and also the bitcoin price rising now, i can see much more than $6 for litecoin in the near future.
22229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: July 07, 2015, 05:00:38 AM
Whats the point of having so much rolls? That is not guarantee you will win a lot from that high roll small bet. You will can sustain more losses but it is just wasting time if you can't get profit from it
I have no idea why people set up bots to run so many rolls in a row without actually doing anything, but that doesn't change the fact that people do it. It is much easier to get to 1 million rolls, and therefore have a 38% chance of losing 20 in a row and losing everything on a dice site with a bot than it would be at a roulette table if you had the bankroll and a casino willing to set up limits allowing you to use a martingale system where it takes 20 bets in a row to go broke.
Actually I didnt get what are you saying. The point is to make 1 million rolls without getting any profit is such a waste here. Although you make 1 million rolls and have 38% chance of losing it is pretty bad. Why not get a low rolls but get huge profit that seems more reliable and more efficient of your time too

i think he means the fact that many people run a bot (the site's bot or any external bot) and leave it to bet for hours. what is the point of that!
i have the same feeling too, this is gambling and the fun is when you do the rolls and win or lose on your bets. i don't get the reason what is the fun when you leave a tab open to bet for you for hours.
it is more like mining bitcoin rather than playing a gambling game.
22230  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hey everyone, how and where do you use your bitcoin? on: July 07, 2015, 04:42:55 AM
the most usage that i have gotten out of bitcoin is using it in trading, so i guess i can say i bought a lot of altcoins with my bitcoin Smiley

i also do a lot of gambling , so i spend some considerable amount of bitcoin on different gambling games every week.

recently because of the price rise i try to keep my coins for the future when the price is higher.

also i found this place yesterday that sells games and cards for bitcoin/ dogecoin/ litecoin :
https://www.keys4coins.com/
have not tested them so i can not comment on their service though.

22231  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to convert Bitcoin to Paypal? on: July 07, 2015, 04:35:40 AM
your best option is finding some trusted user on this forum who does this exchange and then sell your bitcoin to him.
since paypal is reversible and bitcoin is not, you have to be extra careful who or what service you put your  trust in, if you don't wanna lose your money.
22232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Stress Tests", Spammers, Attacks: Burning My Butt. Very Bad. on: July 07, 2015, 04:24:27 AM
who is going to ban / or not recognize these kinds of transactions? miners?
the thing is, they are more than happy to receive these kinds of transaction since there is a lot of fees involved and that means more income for the miners.
i don't see any reason why they should stop receiving these transactions.
22233  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: July 07, 2015, 04:19:23 AM
The way that I would use to grow my bitcoin is buy clams, deposit them on just-dice.com and stake your clams for a year. After a year come back and transfer ur clams to bitcoins.

Why are you so sure that clams price will have chance to rise? I guess clam volume trading can't compete with ltc or dash, without a good volume I dont think people will start to adopt this coin. What I do know is clams mostly use by gambler only for gambling and only few people trading clam so clam is still far more to catch up with these coins
i think he is talking about Proof-Of-Working-Stake not the price rising after a year.
but what you said is a concern . because after a year the price of clamcoin can be drastically decreased so no matter how much more clams you have, you have lost money because of the price.
but it is only if the price goes down.
22234  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: July 07, 2015, 03:55:04 AM
It's anonymous. But the problem is for example someone try to purchase drugs using bitcoin. This become a new era of transaction without being notice.

Why is buying drugs a problem? I think that's one of its benefits. If people want to buy drugs let them. The law should go after real criminals not criminals they themselves have created from their draconian policies.
it is both a benefit and a problem at the same time!
it is true that you can anonymously buy drugs and other illegal substances with bitcoin, and stay away from the law and getting caught.
but at the same time this is an illegal activity that is being done by bitcoin, after a while if this grows, bitcoin will be advertised by the media as money for criminals.
this is bad and will cause many people to stay away from bitcoin as a result. even countries might ban using bitcoin because of it.
22235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just what is a FAIR fee to send a Bitcoin transaction? on: July 07, 2015, 03:33:58 AM
i think we have to consider a couple of things here.
first is that right now miners will get 25BTC as the block reward and with current price (and rising price) it is enough for them to make it profitable. so they are not relying only on transaction fees so it can be low.
second is that the amount of bitcoin you send can be different for every use, for example if you want to do a micro transaction with small amount then 0.0001BTC can be huge for you. but if you want to send a large sum of money like 100BTC then it is nothing in comparison.
22236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin trending in greece! on: July 07, 2015, 03:26:01 AM
Bitcoin increased by 400% in the past 2 months I read. Because Pypal is no longer available, and Greeks gotta use some kind of payment to pay online. This is going to help bitcoin over all.

Not just that. The current financial crisis in Greece helped bitcoin because people are excited about Greeks going to use bitcoin as an alternative so they bought large sums of coins for future reference.

Well lets hope the coming crisis in china will make bitcoin blow up, from what it looks like the crisis in Greece would look like a tiny cloudy day from what if beginning to happen in china http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/06/investing/stocks-market-china-greece/index.html?iid=hp-toplead-dom
if Chinese stock market continues to fall as it was in the past month and they investors in the stock market notice bitcoin then we could very easily have another 2013 for bitcoin price.
since the bitcoin price has an upward motion, it only needs another push like china entering it with a lot of investors, and then the price would skyrocket.
22237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 15kDcr9wDhZmvPufKP7vYyELSoLg4bKbAR <- Has paid well over 250BTC in fees?! on: July 06, 2015, 02:59:10 PM
i have heard about a big transaction fee which happened one time only. and it was a mistake , as big as 200BTC ($25000). and it was refunded back.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lb5my/asicminer_refunds_the_accidental_200_btc/

but this looks more like bribing rather than a mistake since it has happened more than once!!!
22238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your biggest problem with Bitcoin on: July 06, 2015, 02:19:22 PM
The biggest issue is the volatility and I think that's what scares a lot of people off, but at the same time its that volatility that is very attractive to speculators and thus the potential for profit. For the average user who may wish to use it as a currency though it can be scary for them.

This is what I thought for the first time Im doing trading bitcoin, I scare about the volatility but at last I think without any volatility I dont think I can get good profit. With this volatility we can earn every time and get much profit from it

But the opposite is also true. You can lose a lot of money and profit not at all. Trading or investments always carry risks and are not always profitable.

Nope if you know how to maintain your trading and try to see the situation too, I think you can minimalize your loss when you really have that bad luck
i agree.
every kind of investment has its own risks and profits. the important thing is the "total" amount of profit that you have earned at the end of the week (or any period that you prefer). not a couple of losses in one day.
as long as the total profit is an acceptable amount by your standards you did well in your tradings.
but if you are losing money every week in your trades and your total profit is negative, then "you" are doing something wrong.
22239  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hey, What Do You Think The Price of Bitcoin by end of this week? on: July 06, 2015, 02:03:51 PM
based on the price movements i say we can see $300 by the end of this week if nothing goes wrong and no whale pops out of nowhere putting up walls.
also if this goes on like how Cyprus turned out, then we can see a breakout soon enough.
