A rocky start, going 16 wins and 19 losses yesterday, for a win rate of 48%. -3.87 units, 16 - 19. Over/Under bets had the most losses, so those will be excluded in our next set of picks later on today.  |

On gambling/betting sites such as cloudbet, there are "US Total" and "Total" lines, as well as "US Spread" and "Spread". What is the difference? Is there a page somewhere which details those differences?
From what I see on Cloudbet, US Total lines are round numbers (202, 203) while 'Total' are decimals, such as 202.5, 206.5. Most often you'll be seeing 'US Total" lines, while the others are just alternatives. |

This thread and all picks will be focused on a consensus sports picking strategy, where the bet will be placed on the side with the majority of users. So if 80% of betters choose Team A, and 20% on Team B, we will place our bet on Team A. This uses the concept where informed players place their money. Of course, a contrarian view will also take place, which is betting against the majority, hoping that they are all wrong. I'll gave stats on this strategy as well. All of my picks will target odds of 1.95 / -105, to get the best value. All picks are considered as one unit bets, unless it's a premium pick. My sports picks will be posted here daily, on my Twitter account, and on my website. Best of all, it's free! Good luck to all those who wish to follow my picks. PickMonitor.com/user/CanadianSaturn

I have had a couple crashes with 0.11.2, twice now I have had to rebuild the entire block chain. I wish there was some way it could isolate just "the bad part" of the chain when a crash happens rather than taking a week to resync the whole thing.
My core finally finished resyninc on Friday, again, and then it crashed this morning and now has to resync... again! Holy crap this is frustrating. All 50gigs of the block chain cannot be corrupted, I don't understand why the software can't just replace the bad piece of data rather than having to sync the whole chain... Because it doesn't know where the bad piece of data is. The crash makes it unable to read the database, and since it can't read the database, it has to rebuild the whole thing. |

What is defined as an intangible product? What if you are actually trying to sell a good and not a service? Do you just lie to them? What if the scammer talks to them and says that it was a physical good?
With Bitcoin, you don't need to worry about those and it is completely irreversible. PayPal here can reverse it, and it takes time and effort to get the money back. With Bitcoin, it is completely stress free, the scammers can't reverse on you.

I think this would be a good feature to add. It would help people identify whether they have been hacked or are being spied on. Lots of other services do this so I think we should too. I don't like this idea...
That means that anyone that is giving there account up for collateral to a lender would be giving the lender all there IP information and conversely the lender would be giving his IP info to whoever took out the loan when they got there account back.
What about a button that clears that log. It would only clear the log that the user sees, not the actual log which the admins can access. That way the lender and borrower wouldn't know the other's ip address and if a hacker got into the account, the person would still know because if the log was cleared, he would know someone else did it if he didn't. Otherwise he would know the ip of the hacker. |

The halving will probably come first, but that doesn't mean we won't have a capacity increase. SegWit is supposed to come out in April, which is two months before the halving. SegWit will bring with it some capacity increase.

I should have been more specific. I do not have a coding background, so that is why I was looking for the info "plainly". If what you say is correct, then the witness data is still being maintained within the Bitcoin blockchain. I am reading the BIPs over now, even though 85% flys over my head. Thank you for your response. Technically speaking, the witness data is not in the blockchain. It is sent separately alongside of the blocks. However, the blocks must have some way to reference the witness block, and they do that by including the hash of the witnesses in the coinbase transaction. This also helps make this soft forkable. |

Maybe it is just rumor but I heard that the Bitcoin network is already the world's largest computer network by an incredibly large margin. Is that just a lot of bunk? Because if what seems to be an excessive amount of capacity is not on the table after months of debate about blocksize to the point of nausea then why? How much capacity is just the right amount of security?
Actually the internet is the worlds largest computer network. What is "an excessive amount of capacity"? Capacity for what? Block size is not the Bitcoin network but rather the blockchain itself, which is different from the network. The network has immense capacity, just like the internet. Loads of data passes through the network, but the blockchain, that is a different matter, which is separate from the network. I've heard (don't know if it is reliable) that the Bitcoin network has the computing power of the top 500 supercomputers combined. Is that true or a bunch of horsecrap? if not true, let's get an accurate number. If true then it would seem talk about loss of security is not accurate.
It is not comparable. Supercomputers are almost like general application computers. They can do a lot of stuff, they are application specific like most mining hardware is. Sure the hash power is probably capable of producing SHA256d hashes faster than any supercomputer, but when it comes to doing other stuff, especially for benchmarks, the network can do squat. It is not a fair comparison, in fact, it is essentially a comparison of apples to oranges, they are two different things. As for a loss of security, while the loss of security at this time may be small, we shouldn't do anything which can result in any loss of security. However small the loss is, if we can avoid it, we should. |

Is it normal practice for itBit exchange to require your social security number? Does anyone on here use itBit?
This is normal, and I think most other exchanges will do it too. If they operate in the US, then they are required by federal law to abide by the AML and KYC laws which require SSNs. |

Recently when I was searching for some bitcoin related threads on google I saw in search results a similar thread starting with the domain name fanbitcoin.com
I also noticed that the site automatically converted the bitcointalk.org related links to fanbitcoin.com related links. This made me feel suspicious about it and so I am asking here.
Is that site a backup of this one just like bitcointa.lk? or is it a scam site trying to steal passwords?
I would stay away from it as any site that is not Bitcointalk but mirrors it will still have access to your passwords if you decide to login. Be careful, as there is a good probability that it is a phishing site. |
