2401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the plan to fix slow transactions and high fees? on: February 15, 2017, 07:39:09 AM
it's simple don't buy coffee with bitcoin until they fix the scalability issue, bitcoin is not currently suited for microtransaction, even with the fee of 10k satoshi it was still bad to send 100k satoshi to pay 1/10 in fee

so it's not even a problem related to the 1mb block restriction, bitcoin was always bad at microtransaction, and this will be more true the more the value go up

in theory the average fee in satoshi should be lower the more the value increase not that it remain the same, otherwise when bitcoin will reach 100k one day, you will have to pay $100 to send $1000 which is beyond retarded
2402  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins Everywhere? Not yet... on: February 15, 2017, 07:32:08 AM
Most of the members consider bitcoin as major currency of future. Let us assume that it will be accomplished one day, but before that, I wonder which spheres of our everyday life will adapt bitcoin first?
Not really, I don't think most people see it as a currency to replace fiat, not with a ten minute confirmation time.

Bitcoin won't replace fiat. The reason why is because Bitcoin needs the cashflow in order to be worth something. Nobody want's Bitcoin if it is worth nothing, BTC isn't even backed by anything...just data and that data could get wiped within nano-seconds if there was an attack.

Unlike Gold that is backed by Gold and the limited quantity, people will find it too late to purchase when there isn't any in demand. Bitcoin is worth nothing, the price per Bitcoin is just a mirage. Warren Buffet is right in a sense.
Well you are wrong on many points, just like FIAT it is not backed by anything but it is a limited quantity just like but the demand vs limited supply is what gives the price. The security of the network and just like our stocks and 90% of cash (it is all logged digitally) its just data, but each bitcoin wallet has the ledger information, as a backup.

well fiat is backed by the printing machine and its inflationary system, if they need more fiat they just print more and create more debts out of thin air, there is no limit to this

and it's not supply and demand that give value to fait, fiat has an inititial value set by the governments, this is what make it very centralized it's 100% controlled
2403  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of people that treat Bitcoin solely as an investment? on: February 15, 2017, 07:02:29 AM
not for me i treat bitcoin both as a store of value for the future and as a currency, i made plenty of purchase on purse.io with bitcoin directly and great discount

i'm still trying to make some purchase there but the discount trick and no ship cost is not working anymore it seems, people learned

i wish i could buy everythign with bitcoin and get rid of my card, but until big merchnats will enter in play it will not be feasible, still waiting for amazon...

2405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can i make Bitcoin/money from a third world country on: February 14, 2017, 11:20:53 AM
I've heard that there are countries in Africa where Bitcoin use is growing a lot in relation to other places in the world, so if I lived on such a continent, maybe I decided to migrate to one of the countries where Bitcoin's demand and usage is greater, and then try to open a Bitcoin business. But if you do not want to move, there is the possibility of opening a website providing some service related to Bitcoin, like a gambling or trading service, for example.
If you are planning to make money online through bitcoin why would you plan to migrate to countries where the demand is higher.It is always a good thing to live in a third world country to enjoy the perks of the dollar conversion rate and that too by living in a third world country you can really enjoy the perks of bitcoin.

in some third world country the energy(electricity) is very cheap they could buy some miners equpment or use their gaming rig, everyone has a pc nowadays don't tell me the opposite

and start to do some mining, a rig would earn you with very cheap electricity(below 5 cent) at least a net of $200 per month, then it will be possible to expand your farm slowly
2406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Economist predicts Bitcoin $25,000 on: February 14, 2017, 07:45:09 AM
they ar enot providing any time frame for that prediction, with these premises every prediction could be true, 25k might sound reasonable from 2020 to 2030

we have already seen more than 10x increase in the past therefore is not so out of reality to think that another one can happen in one sit

and i don't believe we necessarely need adoption increase to reach that value as unstable one, another big manipulation like willy bot can cut it
2407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: i make a torrent with bitcoin blockdata update to 2017-2-12 on: February 14, 2017, 07:29:12 AM
Why would I want to download the whole blockchain? It takes a lot of resources and its useless for an ordinary user like me. If there was a reward or if someone paid me to run a node all year then I will do it. The blockchain has become quite huge its beginning to be a problem.

not to mention that downloading it or synching it make no difference, it would require the same amount of time, therefore it's pointless

everyone should just save a copy and update it every so weeks if he need to switch the wallet(cold storage that are offline for a very long tiem, not a new wallet, which can be reused before the seize of the pruning you choosed "expire") he can do it easily
2408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit on Bitcoin has Failed , BTC Core has Lost , The Miners have Won on: February 14, 2017, 07:25:33 AM
Do you realise that segwit has until Nov to activate ?  i think you are a little premature.   Undecided


And I think many of you can't do math.


8 MB Blocks                   7.5% =>   100%- 7.5% =  92.5%   SEGWIT FAIL
or
Bitcoin Unlimited          18.3% =>   100%-18.3% =  81.7%   SEGWIT FAIL

Combined                    25.8%  =>   100%-25.8% = 74.2%   SEGWIT FAIL


Segwit has failed, Game Over it will never reach 95%.


 Cool

still segwit is holding the biggest %, the other options will not see the light ever, the only thing that miners might want to do if they abandon segwit is 2MB hardofrk i can't see anythign else, unless a new way to fix the scalability appear

i still think that the current 1MB can keep it up until $10k per coin, without having much trouble with slow transaction besides spam to try to force it...
2409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The world's first calculator used to calculate the possible price changes of BTC on: February 14, 2017, 06:53:48 AM
Artificial intelligence cant go behind human power and if so happend then world will no longer be mastered by human AI will run the world.
So a mad made calculator count predict the ridgt . it changes every now and then.

it is possible actually it's called singularity

the calculator is meaningless. its not based on any statistics or anything. its just
=((x-y)*0.618)+y

the 0.618 is just the 'golden ratio' or fibbonacci curve. but that has no relation to how economics works

it's based on TA which is a broken thing and they can't still understand it apparently, the price some times may look predictale but if it isn't always predictable i call it luck

the only good way to predict a change in value is by looking at how many time the price went on the same spot, the more times it reach the same value the more solid will be
2410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Main Currency on: February 14, 2017, 06:47:41 AM
Governments wants to take full control over people's financial transactions and they will even replace it with their own version of Bitcoin in the

future. { One example is e-Krone in Denmark } So if these governments starts to use Bitcoin, they will try to take over the development and then

manipulate the currency to favour them and to infringe on people's private financial matters. We will lose all Pseudo-anonymity, because they

will regulate it to death.  Angry

how is regulation a bad thign exactly? if the government will regulate it the value will skyrocket in no time this is guaranteed, and as a main currency ti will acquire a huge marketcap

bitcoin can't simply be a main currency of one country because it can still be used everywhere by anyone that's the beauty, therefore the america will only have strict rules in their territory

is it better to buy 1 GTX 1080 than 2 GTX 1060?


1x1060 3gb can do 300 sol apparently, so no better 2x1060
2412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Most profit coins today on: February 13, 2017, 04:13:55 PM




The young man, you still have a lot to learn in this life.

300 sol with the 3gb version is impressive indeed, what about consumption?

so what's up with the failed to update height with the miner?

These are my two problems as well. Two cards each with its own problems







i think the new miners was not updated to work with the last wallet they changed something in the code maybe

2415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should governments allow people to pay their taxes in Bitcoin BTC? on: February 13, 2017, 07:57:32 AM
I already pay tax on the coins I convert to fiat via my exchange, because it is linked to my bank account. So they issue a tax certificate and they are linked to the IRS. You pay capital gains and also VAT on all your purchases, so I cannot see what else you have to pay on top of that?

The regulated exchanges have to adhere to KYC and AML regulations, so everything is accessible to the IRS.

OP is not talking about paying simple tax, he is talking about paying tax with bitcoin, unless you use external third party service you can't currently do it directly in any country

i theory if they are really serious about regulating bitcoin, they should allow us to pay tax with bitcoin itself, especially if they are going to tax bitcoin...
2416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sustainability of cryptocurrencies? on: February 13, 2017, 07:48:30 AM
chinese big farm use electricity that derivate from green source like hydro power plan, therefore they don't need themselves to run with green energy and it doesn't make sense anyway

global warning has more to do with industrial activity and nothing with bitcoin, where the heat generated is a joke in comparison, and it can genuinely re-used if they really wish to

and this for bitcoin, altcoin in general have even lower power consumption, i estimated a maximum of 500k gpu curently mining, with 100watt each you have from 50MW to 100MW in play...
2417  Economy / Marketplace / Re: What kind of service/business would you create if you had funding and.... on: February 13, 2017, 07:41:47 AM
what about adding what you want to sell to the store page of openbazar, i see not many people are using it still very empy

it would be far easier for you than making a whole website for this, or you can try to make something like all4btc if you really want to make your project and not rely on another one

for me the best would be a "purse.io" market that let me buy on anywebsite not just amazon
2418  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I educate myself on bitcoin for investing? on: February 13, 2017, 07:38:55 AM
If you want to get scammed very fast go for ICO and alternative cryptocurrencies education hassle, if you want to play smart and grab an extraordinary opportunity then just sell everything you've got in your life and buy bitcoins with all of it.
6 months from now you will say thanks to me.

it's easily possible to do good with ico actually, when you buy at the entry price, it's very hard to be dumped right away when it hit the exchange

after the coin hit the exchange there is in most case a small pump of 2x, just dump your coin there and take your profit

alternative crypto is currently the only way to acquire(without buying) a big amount of bitcoins with low risk, hyip and cloud mining are instead a giant scam
2419  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can i make Bitcoin/money from a third world country on: February 13, 2017, 07:34:14 AM
its much more worth to make money with $$ or euros .. since my currency is so low .. average monthly salary here is less than 500$
how do i move it ?


500 is enough for one person to live a decent life if your expenditure are not killig that income, if you are in desperate need of money and you can't find a job, there are signature campaign

a good signature campaign is currently paying around $100+ per month, it can help you a little, but a higher rank is required, and something is telling me that you have a high ranked account joined somewhere...
2420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Saving bitcoins on: February 13, 2017, 07:30:25 AM
I do not understand why you ask questions like that, you should be researched more about Bitcoin. Currently, the world does not have any online banking, you can not save in banks Bitcoin. There are plenty of places for you to send money to and receive profits, however, all of them are HYIP and PONZI,they are created to scam. I advise you not to participate in it, because you could lose all the money you invested in it. Don't participate!

there is a way to do it and make it look like you are savign and earning interest, and it work good for short term it is called loan

with bitcoin you can earn very good interest on any deposit by lending your coins, i see it as a form of saving, just be sure that he/she have collateral....
