can we do trading on bter? is it safe?
i would like to know from all past issues
Bter said it had $1.75 million worth of bitcoins stolen from it over a year and a half ago. It reopened and said it would pay everyone back out of the profits it made from trading fees. Soon after reopening it paid a tiny sum back, but it hasn't made anymore repayments in a year and a half. This is its repayment plan. https://bter.com/article/4760This is a thread full of complaints from bter users who haven't been paid anything back in that year and a half. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1605244.0One post in that thread quotes this reply he had from bter saying it had low trading volume and so couldn't afford to pay anyone back yet.

Dear Sirs,
I am trading long time on the Bter(more 3 years).
I am waiting for returning BTC about 1.5 year.
I have BTC_B: 5.6331 - 0.5500.
Can I get 0.8 bitcoins from BTC-B for trading in bter_com?
If I do not get 0.8 bitcoins, your duty will be published on a websites in August 2016.
I have $311 on the Bter account.
EgoPay does not work. You promised "to add new interface to support USD" more 1 year ago.
How can I to withdraw USD? I can not do it more 2 year.
Can you convert the 311 USD to bitcoins, litecoins, ethereum?
If I do not get $311, your duty will be published on a websites in August 2016.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
BTC-B is the record of BTC we still owe you. It is not a real asset so that you cannot sell it.
The fund for repayment is from our trading fee income, which depends on the volume on bter. The BTC trading volume is not large and not much fund has been generated. We will repay the next batch of BTC repayment as soon as we have more fund.
Thank you for your patience. Coinmarketcap contradicts that, it shows bter had over a million dollars 24 hour trading volume a few days in the last week, and yet bter still refuses to pay anyone back. These are bter 24 hour trading volumes over the last 7 dayss with webpage snapshot links to prove it. $358,877 on 29 Nov https://web.archive.org/web/20161129173933/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$664,818 on 30 Nov https://web.archive.org/web/20161130184727/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$812,433 on 01 Dec https://web.archive.org/web/20161201184159/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$823,823 0n 02 Dec https://web.archive.org/web/20161202172135/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$1,474,814 on 03 Dec https://web.archive.org/web/20161203192113/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$1,474,814 on 04 Dec https://web.archive.org/web/20161203192113/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/$707,697 0n 05 Dec https://web.archive.org/web/20161205192841/https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/Why won't bter pay anyone back the money they are owed, and why would you trust it with your money if the same thing could happen again? |

"Biggus dickus"? Lol, never heard of that guy. In fact, I haven't heard of most of them. And the users I do know, I wouldn't want on ignore or already have on ignore. So like DH's list this one is useless to me.
The one's flooding the spam are missed out. Have you read gadman2's old posts? These are consecutive ones that look more like spam than most of the posts by signature campaigners. They don't contribute anything to discussions. Over half of them are posted in other people's trading threads, and are links to his thread selling bitcoins for paypal. Chat with this newbie and of course he doesn't want to send first plus refuses to use escrow service. Fishy or scammy, probably both!
I said you can use PayPal " Goods and Service" choice Doesn't matter. You're new to PayPal, yes? Bumps.
Bumps. New thread layout.
Bumps.

bitstamp above finex? steroids anyone?
Doesn't happen that often right?! I was surprised as well seeing this. Maybe this is mutating from bearstamp to bullstamp.  really weird. € is even more bullish. up 2% instead of 1%$. i guess someone found arbitrage and it involves a € exchange and bitstamp. The € crashed against the $ after the Italian referendum so the European bitcoiners might have traded their € for bitcoins, then traded their bitcoins for $ or held them. They might be watching the markets and waiting for further € crashes before buying back in. That could be why the € bitcoin markets are more bullish than the $ bitcoin markets. |

Did quark become susceptible to ASICs? It seemed like a solid algorithm. Were there technical issues, or did the coins themselves just never generate support due to lack of continuing development?
Quark was massively premined and that put investors off. Other coins like secure coin are using similar algorithms to quark and their networks have been working for years. They normally give their algorithms different names to the quark one but they are essentially the same. |

Are the rumors true that one of the developers of Augur is having a mental breakdown? It was said that he was tweeting weird stuff saying that Ethereum is a Russian honey pot or something, and also that Vitalik controls Ethereum totally making the platform not ideal for dapps. Maybe that is what's making the price fall, that developer could be dumping right now.
Quoting above from another thread. Could this have been going almost a week (nov 30th was above post)? This augur dev guy has 100,000 rep on polo and wasn't able to secure his polo account for a week? Must be more to this story. Exchanges commonly say they've been hacked and all the coins were stolen. There's always speculation it was an inside job like with cryptsy. Although there will be speculation the augur dev guy is behind it, without proof it will only be speculation. It's suspicious that a dev would put so many coins on polo. If he was planning to dump them he can't have much faith in his coin, or did he put them on polo so they could get 'stolen'? |

This user registered on July 15, 2016 and he has an animated gif avatar. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=878718On his profile page you can see it's a car with its headlights flashing on and off, and if you read any of his posts inside a thread it's animated. How did the system let him upload it in 2016? |

Current small bitcoin dump may depend on the large LTC dump.
Agreed, there were millions of dollars of litecoins getting dumped for bitcoins today, and the dumpers probably dumped the bitcoins for fiat. Bitcoin's starting to recover already and the Italian news will give it a pump over the next week. The mainstream media is weighing the risks of Italian bank bail ins. |

Well, hopefully these authors are not simply selling their "opinion" to the highest bidder,
but nothing would surprise me.
It would be hard to resist selling out, because the authors on these sites probably don't make a lot of money.
Imagine you were making $15,000 a year from your website articles, and some developer offered you $1500 to promote their coin.
Turning down 10% of your yearly salary to write one article might be difficult.
everything is money my friend, including opinion. if you are a well known writer, people will ask you to review their product and i'm pretty sure you will do a good review if they pay enough. Still valid tho, it's not like they are lying to sell... and like @glerant said, people need to make their own mind, do some research before put some money. Someone was paying people to give good reviews of counterfeit apple products sold on amazon. Not one of those reviews was bad but the products were often defective. Those paid to give the reviews didn't know or care anything about the quality of the products they were reviewing. They weren't lying to sell, they were giving good reviews because someone was paying them to. Their reviews weren't valid, and those opinion pieces are invalid for the same reason, their authors were getting paid to give a good opinion. Lets leave engadget for now. Are you really saying that you are comparing some random reviewers leaving some paid reviews on Amazon for tat with a News piece on the official Nasdaq site? Really? As shyliar commented the Nasdaq site says the article is "by Due.com", it's not written by Nasdaq authors. At the page footer there is this disclaimer. The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.
Nasdaq's not backing waves. Most of the news pieces in the Nasdaq news section are copied from other websites that don't have the money that Nasdaq has. If someone offers them money to give a good opinion piece they will take it exactly the same as those amazon reviewers took money to write good reviews. |

is there any exchange already listing them or how can one buy it?
We will launch our own exchange DCR / BTC and EFT / DCR. Of course, any other exchange will be free to list this asset as well. But our goal is our own exchange, because in future we want to allow users deposit not only DCR, but also BTC (and maybe even ETH) to start staking, so we will automatically buy DCR for them. Something like our clone of Shapeshift for Decred will be a perfect experience for our miners and new investors. Will you be buying insurance in case it gets hacked? Shapeshift was hacked, and half the regular exchanges have been hacked too. Coinbase and gemini are the only exchanges I know that claim to be insured, and it's expensive. Can you afford insurance, or to pay for all the losses from a hack yourself as shapeshift did? |

Is their block size bump code significantly different to Satoshi's block size bump code? It can be phased in, like:
if (blocknumber > 115000)
maxblocksize = largerlimit
It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.
When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.

During the last pump of 2013 altcoins happen to rise at least as much as bitcoin.
this was very interesting. i did not know that. Can you list the altcoins (that are still alive today) that went up back in 2013? i could only check litecoin which went up to $48.48 when bitcoin went up! You can see a series of historical altcoin price snapshots here. https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/This is a snapshot showing the prices of the main 40 altcoins on December 01 2013. Of those there's only litecoin, and ripple near the top today, most of the others are alive. https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20131201/ |

We are working on fork issue now.
So we recommend you to stop mine until new version release.
We will post into this thread when bug with forks will be fixed.
Were you getting all the blocks after you recommended everyone else stop mining? How many coins did you make while solo mining and what will you do with them? |

During the last pump of 2013 altcoins happen to rise at least as much as bitcoin.
There were less than fifty altcoins in 2013, now there are thousands of them. The altcoins have to share a tiny bit of all the money in cryptocurrency, bitcoin gets most of it. Every week there are more new altcoins launching and more icos that are taking money away from the existing altcoins and lowering their price. |

I was hanging out with a few youngsters in my proximity the other day and realised after a short while that they'd spent somewhere around 80-90% of their time on their phones taking selfies, tweeting, snapchatting and whatever else younglings got up to via the internet.
It brought me to the realisation that most social media has passed me by. I'm not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and usually have never heard of the latest $200 trillion company that allows you to draw moustaches on selfies of your anus or whatever. This forum is of course a similar thing but not quite of the same ilk. I have a smartphone but most of the time it's turned off as I don't want to talk anyone and it's only really used for navigation and retrieving some information via searches.
Is social media the cornerstone of your own life?
The older people are, the less likely they are to use social media. Smart phones and social media give adults a toy that they don't feel stupid playing with in public. The pre-game boy generation weren't indoctrinated into using tech toys in public, the post-game boy generation were indoctrinated at an early age, and smart phones are a natural progression to them. |

I'm running into the following error when I try to open my wallet:
Runaway Exception
A fatal error occurred. MintCoin can no longer continue safely and will quit.
Exception: St13runtime_error
CDB(): error opening database environment IO error...
I'm running Windows10. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Do you have any more detail? Do you have a debug log? What wallet version are you running? I started it up this morning and it seems to be working now even though I tried repeatedly last night with the same result. That's a first. Apparently it somehow healed itself. Anyway, I'm running wallet version 2.0.2.0 Thanks for your response anyway. Other coins including bitcoin give the same error. Peter Wuille (a bitcoin core developer) recommends restarting a wallet with the -reindex option to fix it in this stackexchange thread. http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/7640/bitcoind-corrupted-database |

The latest news is that our dev team is building a brand new codebase from the ground up.
Can you estimate how long the new codebase will take to develop? |
|
|
|
150k per coin soon
Where do we have to sign for this?  I personally (feel) see $1000 fairly soon maybe by new year's eve as someone suggests We all need money for Christmas so the price might not see $1000 by then. There will be too many of us dipping into our bitcoin stash to pay for those luxury presents. The last monthly pay check before Christmas is gone and there's an expensive three weeks ahead. All those bitcoins getting sold could hold back $1000+ until next year. |
