2661  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to destroy bitcoins? Send them to the value 0 address? on: August 01, 2019, 07:55:11 PM
I think 65.000BTC is just example in this case, but if you have lots of bitcoin and you want to "destroy" it, just send those to many addresses and delete the wallet Roll Eyes

Not sure on that one but:

1CounterpartyXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXUWLpVr

Should be a safe burn address. Looks like 2000+ BTC have been destroyed there.

Is it similar with 1BitcoinEater?

As long as there is not private key possibility generated with the public key, the amount in the address is considered "burnt".

Like:
1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE

But it will be better to send them to charity:

Sean's Outpost: 1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44Jvaydd
Wikileaks: 1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v

etc etc....

Really, why to burn bitcoins when you have possibility to donate it and help people who really need it? On one adress posted above, 21 million usd bitcoin was burnt and seems most people sent some cents maybe to be indexed in transactions of that adress, why? When you can really do charity.
See this thread, this man really does amazing job with bitcoin, don't waste it, send him: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139780.0
2662  Economy / Economics / Re: There were only 3,3% of days In Bitcoin's History That Were Not Profitable on: August 01, 2019, 07:21:33 PM
Only 129 days out from 3857 days (3,3%) were not profitable in the history of bitcoin's trading. This means if you bought bitcoin, you are profitable. Except if you bought in those 3.3% cases. Yea, it's hard to believe but for an example...It took only 23 days for bitcoin to go from 8390 usd to almost 20.000 usd. In my opinion, even those buyers who bought at the top will eventually be in profit. If they hold of course! So the moral of the story is - just  HODL  Wink Until a massive adoption!
If we think that way, then for satoshi, there were 0 days when bitcoin wasn't profitable. Also there were almost none days for those who bought bitcoin very early. But there were more than 3.3% unprofitable days for most of bitcoin users. Most part of people bought bitcoin when price become 10K and higher, these was days when bitcoin gained huge attention because of it's price rise and this was the time when bitcoin got under massive attention of media. Also there were a lot of redditors who invested when price was on top. Can't understand what's the point of your percentage, don't take it wrongly but it's really meaningless.

Am I the only one who didn't understand what happens there? Maybe because I play none of these games but some people around me are huge fan of them.
You have to play against someone on money or are there tournaments? Is your platform only for pro players? (Since you mentioned monetize your gaming skill).
Btw as it seems from comments, this project is really good. Wish you success, let's develop further.
Oh, please answer my questions. Sorry for knowing nothing but I'm really interested.
2664  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is there a need for tools for sig campaign management? on: August 01, 2019, 05:59:53 PM
To me, yes we actually need some tools to save a lot of time and efforts managers take while managing a campaign's spreadsheet. There should be a date-specific column setting that must allow the bot to check the posts based on total posts made during a specified date (week) range so to save users from being provided false numbers due to deleted posts and decrease in total number of posts of a user because of the same. I was once a part of a campaign that used bot to determine post number, but it had this issue of starting count with the previous week's last end number and even if a few posts get deleted, bot used to show the same number as starting post count for which users had to make the remaining amount of posts to first make their count reach the count the bot used to show.
I think if someone creates such software and publishes it there, since effort of campaign managers will decrease, their salary will decrease too and possibly there will be less demand on them. But on another hand why to publish it in public? I think orders may come from campaign managers or if any of them knows programming, they'll do it for themselves and lessen their time spent on campaign management activity.
Again, I think it's not a big deal without great algorithm, bitmixer had money and etc to do that but they chose simple bot and Lauda as manager, he was needed.
2665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fake trade volumes on: August 01, 2019, 05:30:26 PM
At first how can altcoins make fake trade volumes? Do you mean making massive transactions to get listed on exchanges and attract attention? If yes, then I don't know what happens there. But if we talk about faking trade volumes, a lot of exchanges do it and there are researches done early of which exchanges are faking volume and by how much, google it if you are interested. They do this to become popular on coinmarketcap and you know, coinmarketcap has alexa rank between 200-300, so a lot of people visit this website and when they are looking for exchanges, fake volumes give them possibility to rank higher on coinmarketcap and this automatically leads to an increased number of users.
2666  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Brave, the so called "privacy" browser now requires KYC! on: August 01, 2019, 04:42:35 PM
Btw why are governments so quiet? I understood companies want to know their customers and get rid of illegal things without knowing who did that. Maybe it's not related to this topic but just think, why are they in silent? This company operates from USA, almost all of USA exchanges, social networks and etc steal and get our data, so in overall huge data is under control of USA government. Isn't this dangerous for other governments? Especially when one government owns ID documents of your citizens?
2667  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Inching Closer To $10,000 on: August 01, 2019, 12:59:58 PM
There is endless rise and fall. At the moment bitcoin is higher than 10K but one hour ago it was under 10K. In overall, does this 10K surpass matters? As I said, there is really endless rise and fall, one day it rises, second day it falls. Once it reached 13K, then it reached 9K and we move on one circle. But let's be fair, we rise after all. We were on 3K and then moved on 13k. This 10K doesn't mean much but if we move again on 13k, I believe we will reach 15K very, very soon.
2668  Economy / Economics / Re: (36%) of U.S. investors would consider buying bitcoin on: July 31, 2019, 03:38:40 PM
To be fair it's not surprising to see that the number of investors are significantly increasing in bitcoin. This cryptocurrency deserves even much more attention that it has nowdays, along with blockchain technologies.
Btw 36% isn't small number but at the same time Trump isn't fan of bitcoin, seems a little conflict there.
Btw I still didn't understand why people compare gold to bitcoin, despite the fact that they are investment options, they are far more different from each other.
2669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why I don’t share Strategies anymore? on: July 30, 2019, 11:15:33 PM
OP you are right, it won't be fair to share strategy that leads people to lose and in overall, every strategy causes lose on long term from your side. It's very wrong when people fight against luck with strategy. It's like beating with least powerful weapon against person who has powerful weapon.
So I agree with you, people have to get excitement from gambling and don't get nervous by playing strategies which always fail.
2670  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Year to year price levels chart on: July 30, 2019, 09:46:04 PM
It's still a lot, a lot wrong to predict price of 2025 year, especially when saying it will be million, why? How?
Btw according to this chart, 2017 and 2019 year seems pretty similar and logically it may follow those steps, seems really very close to 2017 year's price movements. So since bitcoin went from 600$ to 20K in 2017 year, which is roughly 33x rise, then remember 2019's lowest price - it was 3K, so if we follow steps of 2017, we will get 100K price by the end of 2019 year or in the begining of 2020 year. But I amn't so optimistic at the moment. I think we will be in stuck for a while.
2671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & Lightning - Would you pay for coffee instantly if it was possible? on: July 30, 2019, 09:05:26 PM
Bitcoin was created to be a universal currency and lightning makes it possible to make completely P2P micro-transactions for a few pennies paid in fees.

Now let's assume for the sake of this poll that you could now spend your bitcoin that is under your control on your wallet, anywhere, by just tapping your bitcoin wallet (hardware or mobile) against an existing credit card machine and you are able to pay with bitcoin over lightning.

What I'm trying to understand and defend against a lot of the mass skeptics is this exact question - Would you use bitcoin as a currency if it was possible?

I believe, irrespective of the value, anybody that held bitcoin before 2017 would be in a place to spend it.
At first I want to mention that if I have option to pay with my card, then why not? They even offer me some cashbacks in various places, it's pretty easy, just take card from pocket, put it on terminal and that's all, transaction is done.
Btw if there is option of bitcoin and I forgot to fill my bank's account or don't have money on that at the moment but have some bitcoins, then I would pay with it. Don't take it wrongly but bitcoin payments isn't as comfortable as payments made by credit card. But if we talk about high transactions, of course I'll use bitcoin because it's fast and cheap, especially with lightning network.
2672  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much ROI% per month is fair? on: July 30, 2019, 08:44:25 PM
Sirius Crypto Capital is an investment association fund started in 2014

Hello.  What country is your fund licensed in?  People need to know the tax write offs.
Also a company that was funded in 2014 by professionals, asks how much ROI per month is fair?


DarkDays
1-2% per month isn't low, if we take 1%, it's 12% ROI, a number which banks doesn't offer in most countries. And if we take 2%, it's 24% in year which is really huge profit. If they give us 24% profit, this means they have to make more than 25 and roughly 30% to cover some fees, get some profit for them and etc. And if they can make 30% yearly, then why the hell find others to invest in such project made by "professionals"?

Fair ROI is any ROI which you can guarantee to pay and at the same time gives you possibility to cover fees and leave some normal profit.
2673  Economy / Economics / Re: 🔵 Facebook Agrees to Pay $5 BILLION, BUT will they ever stop?? on: July 30, 2019, 06:20:17 PM
As I see, everytime what I search in google, doesn't matter with my account or just open private tab and search in it, I always get adverts on facebook which are related to my searches on google.
They agree to pay 5 Bililion for their mistakes, why? Because they benefited a lot more and they want to benefit even more, they want to keep all of their mistakes in silence and pay for it but in future, they'll get 100x more back. That's sad but truth, we don't have to send private information on facebook, they analyze all of our data, very quickly and easily.
2674  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature campaign has changed on: July 29, 2019, 08:00:18 PM
What was the aim of creating this thread? Getting merits? (sorry but don't take it wrongly). Because I don't see anything new there. Also those criteriums were used in past too. Rank was and will always matter, every time there was different amount paid for different ranks, also negative trust was always problem for entering in sig campaigns. Spam posts were always ignored too.
So what's new? Only merit, nothing more at all.
2675  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: People expecting collateral for all loans on: July 29, 2019, 06:26:42 PM
What a business to be in, zero risk for the person lending out money, is completely backwards to the real world.  Most loans and credit is given without collateral.  People can ask what they want but lenders usually have a risk.
Most loans and credits are given without collateral? From where do you post? Well, you can get some small money without collateral but at least you need your IDs to send lenders and they have right to blackout you if you don't pay back and believe me this is the worst thing because this way you lose every chance of getting loan from financial institutes in your life.
On anothet hand people on forum ask for collateral and that's logical, do I know who you are? No, so you too.
2676  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Is there a need for tools for sig campaign management? on: July 29, 2019, 06:04:48 PM
I think a lot of tasks in signature campaign management can be automated, it's pretty easy to write a program that counts posts in given timeframe, checks in which boards they were made, checks that length was sufficient and so on. Of course it can't measure quality, so managers would still need to look at posts themselves, but it eliminates the need for counting, which is long and error-prone.

I know there are many services for bounty campaigns, and there was some service for automated sig campaign management in the past, but still I would want to know if there's a need for such tools today, because I could develop one if someone asked for it.
If it can't decide accurately whether post is qualitier or not, how can it help managers to count posts? Because that script can't count quality posts and in any way, counting job is still depends on manager.
I think if you make something that can filter posts: check them gramatically and etc, this will really be a great deal. But it can also cause loss of job for them, possibly.
But in any way, bot can't change human in this process, at least without great algorithm which I hugely soubt anyone will write for sig campaigns.
2677  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best advice you ever heard in case of investments and all on: July 28, 2019, 09:28:45 PM
Can't agree those who say best advice was: Don't invest more than you can't afford. I totally disagree this, if you don't invest more, then your profit will be low and if you invest more than you can't afford to lose, then profit will be dramatic. But at the same time risks rise on this last one but those who don't risk, don't get anything. It acts now like I wrote new advice here, will be curious if someone quote it and say it's great advice.
2678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bank Of China Is Promoting Bitcoin And It Sounds Very Bullish on: July 28, 2019, 08:17:40 PM
OP, it might be a trap, whatever their game is. Why would the bank of China educate the people about Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a takeover, they don't want people in their country using it.

Or is the Bank of China HODLING? Cool
I bet they don't need hodling but who knows what they do. Btw there is another interestin subject, what will usa do? They don't like when china takes control on something and USA is also product of it. And if we consider the fact that Tramp isn't fan of bitcoin, will they ban it if china improves their control over it or will USA turn into this "war" or call it something different.
Btw this is very strange situation, once they wanted to ban bitcoin and now want to make it popular? People and especially in government/banks, don't change their mind so easily and also don't do anything without commercial benefit.

2680  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do traders make more money than holders? on: July 25, 2019, 09:29:40 PM
Usually, trading is more profitable than holding, but it is the riskiest way too. If you haven't a good experience and knowledge you can easily risk losing big amounts by trading, the profit isn't guaranteed. Holding is also risky, but generally it is safer when you hold the most powerful cryptocurrencies.
Well, if you can trade so well to guess predictions, of course it will provide you with far more profit but holding is a little bit riskier and in most cases more beneficial than trading. There are a lot of people who trade and lose but there are also a lot of people who hold and instead of lose, they win because in overall price of bitcoin rises. In trading you hope to get some profit from daily activities which includes exchanges.
