2521  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Steam accepting btc - will it affect the forum market? on: February 03, 2017, 08:03:14 AM
Nope, people here on forum want things for something between 50-60% discount and paying full price is out of question. if Steam is not willing to give away half of the price people here won't be interested in buying directly (I'm not even sure if steam still takes BTC...)

you were living all the time under a rock to not know that steam offer up to 75% discount, in concomitance with festivity such christmas, halloween etc...

and yes they still accept bitcoin, via bitpay, you just need one confirmation and your order will be delivered without problem

it keep saying invalid account after i found a block
2523  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: All you need to know about Unconfirmed transactions and what to do about them. on: February 03, 2017, 07:48:13 AM
it's "replaceable" the same as abandon transaction in bitcoin core, because there is not such option in core, but maybe they do the same thing?
2524  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1MB block size forever is just silly on: February 03, 2017, 07:39:55 AM
I don't really know where else to go from that..   1MB will seem like 1KB soon enough.  What do..

 
What are you talking about? With segwit we get 2-4 mb  Wink if I'm not wrong.

4mb? no way, at best it's 2MB, actually a bit less, but miners do not agree in the activation, it will never happen

It is clear that the investment community will be obliged to diversify.  Bitcoin can go a long way on 1MB blocks and big (relatively) transaction fees; it appears SegWit is not gaining the support it needs to go through but who knows it may still make it; without SegWit can Lightning be made to work?  Which other altcoin is going to become the darling of scalability?  Or perhaps there will be many.  Or is there indeed some fatal flaw that always draws any of them into centralization?

All PoW coins will Centralize , the laws of economics guarantee it.

Fewer Miners, higher prices (due to manipulation), and higher fees (eventually to become unsustainable)


 Cool



well pos coin is even more centralized, with the bad distribution and the scheme of rich become even richer, you can't have fully decentralization

the only way was to change the algo every so years to prevent asic and keep the gpu mining, maybe it will be done in the future, if 51% become a reality

no cuda miner?, what is the bat file to launch?

nevermind you can use the nvidia miner, i thought it was a different algo
2526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How To Make Bitcoin A Better Stable Currency ? on: February 02, 2017, 09:04:05 AM
I have a magical plan to expand the Bitcoin market with price stability and scaling Bitcoin transaction without breaking the rules. I need some assistance from Bitcoin community. This is the forecast: if you own 10,000 BTC it has m.arket value xyz. If people stop buying Bitcoin means your Bitcoin holding value will be xyz - can, you will loose money. So let us work shoulders to shoulders to implement Bitcoin market development strategy. It will definitely increase the value of Bitcoin up to 150% to 200% percentage. This will increase the value of your Bitcoin holding. You will gain a lot. Contact me.
I-Am-Not-Anonymous; Am I ?

care to explain your thoughts a little bit here? most of your sentenses doesn't make any sense! i don't know if your English is bad or mine or if you are rushing to post something, forgetting you have lots of comas, dashes, dots,... in wrong places!

how can you own 10,000BTC it is worth 9.8 million dollars if you start today and you are saying nothing more about what you plan to do with this amount! how can having this much bitcoin make price of bitcoin stable!

and as it was pointed out how can it be stable and still rise 200%!

owning 10k bitcoin is not that hard if you were an early adopters, i bet there are many users with 10k, OP is basically talking about manipulation to me, there is no other way to contorl the market at the moment

and the fact that he talk abotu a great amount of coin to do it prove the point, and for stable i think he mean not dumped instead of fixed price, which is impossible
2527  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Cloud mining/Investing or trading on localbitcoins? on: February 02, 2017, 08:06:50 AM
The risk is same with mining and for me much riskier. The time that will spend by building enough knowledge in mining is better be used to learn how trading works.

how is the risk the same with mining when the mining still hold its value after you purchase all the equipment while with trading you are constantly at 40% of risk, assuming you are so good to maintain a 60% +ev on the long term, which is unlikely...

with minign there is virtually no risk, even if roi is very long you can always sell back what you bought for at least 80% of its value, if we talk about new gen cards
2528  Economy / Speculation / Re: Trump will crash the markets and bitcoin and gold will go to Jupiter on: February 02, 2017, 08:02:14 AM
It's an excellent time be alive as a bitcoin holder. Trump is going to screw up badly eventually during the 4 yours, sooner or later he will show how unfit he is to be a politician, and certainly being at the top of the 1st world power. He thinks he can get away with certain things, unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

Markets will react and gold, and specially bitcoin, will go higher. Only complete braindead morons will still be hating on bitcoin once this happens, specially all those gold bugs that are too stupid to diversify and buy some BTCs.

BIG gains to be made during the next 4 years. It could be tomorrow or it could be in 3 years, since Trump is unpredictable, but Trump will make a lot of gold and BTC holders rich.

Trump is very courageous and we should expect everything from him, I don't know what can happen in the next years but from his promises in election I can say that he will do everything to keep the dollar on top and the united states economy the richest and the best one in the world so it may be good and better for the bitcoin and the bitcoin holders.

How it can helps the bitcoin if he keep the dollar on the top. Right now trump decision don't have any impact on bitcoin, that's why bitcoin has become the global currency it should not effect it's price by US, China etc. That's why bitcoin become more popular in the form of no one is controlling bitcoin.

he might help a system that is based on bitcoin, with blockchain and everything thus helping the adoption of bitcoin indirectly, if he ever decide that the current dollar system must be changed, not so easy as it seems

also bitcoin is not competing with the dollar, having the dollar at the top mean nothing for bitcoin, bitcoin is not even a fraction of the dollar marketcap
2529  Economy / Speculation / Re: 1000$ rally tomorrow on: February 02, 2017, 07:59:06 AM
The price added 50$ since yesterday and now on YoBit the price is 980$. With such temps we are really close to 1000$ again. But I think nobody will surprise with this, cause of many users are expecting now to bitcoin hit the point of 2000$. And I am sure that we will see such price in this year.

it doesn't really matter as long as we can not maintain 1k it's pointless, to maitain a certain value you must increase over that value, to be perfectly stable at 1k you need to go to 2k and so on

so until we increase very high $1k is still considered not a rock solid point
2530  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2017: Now it happens on: February 02, 2017, 07:46:36 AM
2017 is the year of altcoins...

bitcoin will loose it's marketshare due to lack of innovation and real world usage adoption

30mins for confirmation? come on...

Funny post, not even a single alt is doing well aside form the random pump and dump, and not a single one is used to purchase stuff like bitcoin

bitcoin is the only currency actually used for what it is, there is no innovation needed on top of what bitcoin offer already(btw anonimity is a feature not an innovation if you compare it to monero..., bitcoin is already innovative enough
2531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][PASC2]-[PASCAL Lite]-[LAUNCHED!!!!!] on: February 01, 2017, 10:11:00 PM
Relaunch won't do anything because the bug isn't fixed. We need to wait for the blocks to be 300 seconds apart.



well it would fix the fact that someone have all the block now or a vast majority
2532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][PASC2]-[PASCAL Lite]-[LAUNCHED!!!!!] on: February 01, 2017, 09:54:34 PM
Looking in how to fix this time sync issue.

No idea this bug existed. It wasn't a problem with PascalCoin because the hashrate was always larger and one miner couldn't take control.

it need a relaunch then...
2533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][PASC2]-[PASCAL Lite]-[LAUNCHED!!!!!] on: February 01, 2017, 09:44:25 PM
mmh no block so far 5GH in play, what is the net exactly, it can't be only 11GH like the explorer say...
2534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [TPAS] TurboPascalCoin - Fair relaunch in process on: February 01, 2017, 09:37:44 PM
already relaunched? if no when is the relaunch?
2535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 01, 2017, 09:31:20 PM
can you reach 5GH on a 1070? it would be really profitable currently

If I opensource, nothing will be profitable. Wink

well i can pay for 5GH on a single 1070
2536  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][PASC2]-[PASCAL Lite]-[LAUNCHED!!!!!] on: February 01, 2017, 09:24:31 PM
Miners:
CPU & AMD https://sourceforge.net/projects/pascalcoin/files/ (maybe tweakable with pascal.cl from https://pasc.suprnova.cc/sgminer-5.5.0-pascal-1-windows-amd64.zip Huh)
NVIDIA: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.0

Unless there's an improvement from pascal 2 to pascal, I honestly do not see the reason why there should be a clone of it besides a quick cash grab from the inevitable PND if I'm being real with you guys. Can someone explain?
With pool software readily available, distribution should work better than with PASC1, where in the last few weeks only those with really big rigs were able to mine a block due to diff being very high and no pool being available.

All this could be fixed with a hard fork and some software development. I don't see the justification to split and make a new clone. We saw what happened with ETH when it split off into two currencies.

The damage is done though, only the big guys stand a change in getting more than a few PASC.

Re: NO BLOCKCHAIN Invalid time: I set my Windows clock two minutes forward and the error disappeared, not sure what's going on.

how to use the nvidia miner? don't tell me you need java shit...
2537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 01, 2017, 09:14:31 PM
Decred is slow on pascal.

should be 6GHASH on the gtx 1080

Here is the private maxwell assembly version:




can you reach 5GH on a 1070? it would be really profitable currently
2538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN][PASC2]-[PASCAL COIN 2]-[Do you want to see a Pascal clone coin? VOTE!] on: February 01, 2017, 08:59:36 AM
another thing is to make a coin that do not benefit early adopter only, this is the problem of basically 100% of altcoin here and bitcoin too
2539  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin exchange which is worth the most? on: February 01, 2017, 08:14:27 AM
I liek Kraken, it was never hacked just few ddos here and there, it has no ID requirement, sepa as unbelievable fast for me, same day some time

maybe they can do a better leverage for trading like 10x instead of only 5x, but i'm not too much on trading so i don't care for that
2540  Other / Off-topic / Re: Found this on Reddit :) BTC predictions from A time-traveler from 2025 on: February 01, 2017, 07:56:18 AM
Haha I think it's funny to read, but unrealistic. I doubt bitcoin will go to $10,000 this year. That's a large jump from a $1,000. Also I doubt that the devil created bitcoins  Grin

well bitcoin went from $90 to $1200 which is a higher jump, i bet none was able to predict that move on the market unless you were the one doing it of course

it's still possible for bitcoin to go to 10k in this year, plenty of time yet, the problem will be the dump...
