Honestly, I don't see a strong incentive for customers to use bitcoin. The price fluctuates from day to day, so you never know exactly how much you have, and it's so much quicker to use a bank card or cash, no confirms and you can charge back if the seller attempts to defraud you.

Gyft, which usually ends up getting spent at Walmart and Amazon. Unless you live in a great part of the States, this is pretty much the reality; shops. just don't accept bitcoin here

How does the OP propose to move the data between accounts? Have they implemented a trading feature, or would the OP need account credentials to do this? Interested because I was trying to figure out a way to monetize this myself.

Hello everyone, I'm still actively looking for recruitment for any reasonable project that requires customer support or customer care solutions. I'm open to ventures outside of the crypto sphere; if you have a need that supersedes crypto. My rates are highly negotiable depending on the nature and periodicity of the work, shoot me a PM if you want a quote, I am open to suggested rates but be reasonable please

Meh. I'll see it when I believe it, I too think this is just a ploy to get (nerds?technophiles?anarchist?) more voters on board in the fight against Voldemort (Trump). Blockchain technology should REALLY take a back seat in the mind of any potential presidential candidate; there is entirely too much shit going on in the world right now to fix. People are getting shot and blown up here and abroad essentially because of cultural differences. Be that skin color, or religious beliefs. Financial transparency is great, but you know, well, there are dead people.

Now if those emails had been on a blockchain..

Depends on the jurisdiction. In theory you should need a licence, ESP if the service is being offered via platform. But with the case of some of these smart contracts, the code would be the house, and I think it would be hard to sue the code. If the code never cashes out the funds, it never realized capital gains, and subsequently has no tax liability. Now that I've typed it out, I guess you are right; essentially offering gambling without a license is illegal. But enforcement in some cases would be almost impossible. Also, while this should be highly illegal, the government is being really cavalier about this at the moment for some reason.

You can never go wrong next to a college. At the best, a decent IT or computer science department would be all over that and give you some traffic, along with some business majors that are into trading cryptos. Worst case, you will have a convenient place for campus heads to come buy bitcoin for their dark market pot orders. Either way, you will profit 

Related, this is why you cannot buy bitcoin via any Google application or service, especially with Google wallet funds. They get a third of the cost of in app purchases from indy devs, that I'm pretty sure the developer would simply pass on to you. Unless you want a 33% 'transaction fee', you most likely won't be purchasing.

If you go through any financial institution, that is, an organization with either a banking or money remission license, they are required to follow really strict AML (anti money laundering) and KYC (know your customer) procedures in order to ensure they are not facilitating illegal activity. This caps the amount of money you can convert, requires you to fully disclose your identity and makes you subject to being watchlisted at high enough transaction amounts.

Very high, and likely. I think a government sponsored, centralized replacement will pop up eventually, and bitcoin might be made illegal. But, this will drive the price of bitcoin up, as it will be rarer, and still anonymous. I can certainly see bitcoin becoming a black market currency in the future.

If Hearn leaving could move the price, then certainly segwit on the ground should increase confidence. Also, if we see anyone else exiting the European Union, or needing a huge government wide bailout, price should react. Finally, adoption by a major retailer, or payment processor.

Well, you always have the option of doing a peer to peer transaction, these sorts of things don't necessarily have to take place via a dark market. In fact, if you were going to purchase an illegal substance with Bitcoin, this is the only way I would suggest it. The record will still be there, but at least internet access hasn't compromised your anonymity.

In the States, unless you are buying travel, food, or clothes, bitcoin isn't so 'accepted here'. If you are going to be paying any real bills, that is, utilities, mortgage or rent, and car and insurance payment, you are out of luck. There are a few services that allow you to pay them in btc, so that they can pay the bills in fiat on your behalf. But they usually charge a service fee; your best bet is conversion to fiat if you are paying a bill.

Exactly. Unless the entire capitalization of the sphere greatly increases, any one single major government could 'buy out' the Bitcoin market. Hell, a few of the right major companies could do the job. This is one of the reasons why it wouldn't happen, as well as the fact it would be much cheaper and secure for said government to develop their own coin. To hell with all that anonymity and decentralization, from a national security standpoint.

Check out localbitcoins, they have a peer to peer option that is virtually anonymous. Also, look at Craigslist, but be safe; and look at bitcoin meet ups, people are always willing to trade there.

I wouldn't, let me explain. When it was known that one actor controlled a majority if the coins, and could basically influence price at will, I think people would be less enthusiastic about investing. While people would certainly still speculate, I think institutional investors would shy away from a known 'cornered' market.

Slightly off topic, but I've been out all day. Is there any particular reason eth and DAO are up? Did some news drop that I wasn't aware of?

I LOLed. Before I clicked through, I thought this thread was an entreaty from Dogecoin for assistance, not a 'help me' .


To solve your problem, you could just send the funds from one wallet to another. I assume you can still make transactions from the mobile wallet, correct?

LOL, I have to say it, you can always launch an ICO for some new coin or token. Around these parts, it's an almost surefire way to get rich quick 

But seriously, look for odd jobs in the real world, and buy bitcoin. Much easier to earn fiat than bitcoin, there are so many more opportunities.

Oh, if that's the case, contact a Chinese wholesale supplier directly. They know exactly what bitcoin is, and if you can get past the language barrier, you might be able to broker a deal. There was at one time a wholesaler that accepted btc, but I can't remember the name. I was looking to purchase bulk novelty lighters for and online shop.
