that's correct. they all are a gang. they all are related. Don't you see?

Charlie Lee(Litecoin owner) works for Coinbase. Coinbase has shareholders same guys who are shareholders for Bitstamp, BTC-China, Ripple and many others.
The same shareholders are the sponsors for many news media websites which promote Bitcoins.

Take the ones from the so called "Foundation"(Bitcoin developers) and you will find that they are connected with the exchanges and their shareholders as well. Not that they know each other but the are interconnected by running the same businesses.

Only a very stupid person should not see the facts.

BTC is smaller and smaller.  aprox 200,000 unique BTC address are used per day. Part of these belong to the same owners(internal transfers). So, what is Bitcoin? Around of 100K users per day and a lot of media buzz

Litecoin is a joke

Yes awesome work guys

100 people working on the core and 0 people working on the demand for bitcoin, you guys are doing great work for your coin if your priorities weren't all messed up I think you should start doing some real work and maybe do something positive for your investors like ahh CREATE A DEMAND so people will have a reason, a purpose and a need to buy more bitcoins than they sell. STOP waiting for others to create a demand for your coin.

And before you code and bitcoin developer lovers get all bent out of shape, I have been in bitcoins for a long time, mined them traded them,own informational websites, facebook groups, held seminars and never have I ever used the bitcoin core wallet to much work on that core and not enough for the demand. The core wallet is to confusing to people without coding experience, to understand it, and god forbid if they are not super experienced and only have a command line to use they wont get past the git clone, the developers have spent way to much time on the core development that is simply put, NOT userfriendly. Unless its in a graphical interface, it deters users from even using bitcoins so adoption and adaptation is more complex. the value of bitcoin continues to fall with every new release. its time to get your priorities together, because in another 5 years if things keep going this way, there will be no more bitcoins

The seized consignment is believed to be heading towards the West where its value is estimated to be worth more than US $5 Million (approximately Rs.30 crore). The contraband is suspected to have been loaded at Kurutuwadi in Sholapur, Maharashtra.

Still waiting for a more favorable entry level before I consider it a good buy. Do you expect it to decline a little bit before you buy or do you already consider this as a good buy?

No Silkroad is not what Bitcoin needs to go to the moon, Bitcoin has the killer app and it's built in and thats the blockchain. Proof of transactions and sending of wealth without a third party.

becoz... swat teams can raid centralized physical mining farms to weaken the nekwork and then attack it oll they have to do is track down heavy electricity usage and ir heat just like cannibis farms and yet again we have gone back to sqaure one of centralizations and force... oh sure there will be the stand alone hobbyist miner ho hav a couple of ants but that is still not enough to secure the nekwork once the big players are raided down the poo bowl

How come you're sure that theyre going to dump it for fiat?

Hello guys,

Which is your favourite mobile wallet?

Until now I have been online using bitcoin core on my PC, as it felt the safest way.
What are good alternatives, not always have to synchronize the blockchain.

Especially for iOS. I am fuddling with Coinbase and Blockchain mobile Apps right now.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it's breadwallet. I don't get it how people can still favor Blockchain.info's (cr)app.

That's for iOS. For Android, it's Mycelium.

For Windows Phone, I think there is no wallet app yet? 

I would purchase a Server PSU with a breakout board, they are quite reliable and cheap from what I have heard.

Shouldn't this thread be in Off-Topic section? I love it by the way, keep it up guys!

apart from ebay are there any other good vendors of the antminer s3/s5

Sweet, that's awesome!

And ChuckBuck-
I really think that would be a great idea if RedBox accepted Bitcoin and it would Definitely get people talking! However, I'm not sure that would work unfortunately because RedBox needs something it can charge daily and late fees to. The only way I could see that working is if you sent like a $15 deposit of BTC up front (to cover the possibility of late fees & stolen discs) and after you turned it in, it would take your $15 - ($1 x days rented) and automatically send the rest of your deposit back to your sending address. I think that would be really cool (and very do-able) if the whole process was automated.

For those unfamiliar with RedBox, it stores a bunch of DVDs and BluRays to rent. You swipe your credit/debit card and get your movie, and it charges you approx. $1 for it, and everyday after is $1 a day as well. And since you've already swiped your credit card, it automatically charges you for those days or an unreturned disc.
