This is a very interesting concept but I feel quite difficult to implement. It would have to have the support of many of the different games producers to work as I don't see it working simply P2P.
I don't think it's that difficult to implement actually, the main problem with this is that developers have no reason to implement something like this. Now they have control over their in-game economy, if they use crypto-currency as in-game currency then they would lose all their control over it. Game publishers can now charge whatever they want for their tokens, but once you open up that market, they lose control. |

BTC has no role to play in the real world affairs. People who try to create such a role are confused between asset and currency. The design itself only considers pure virtual activity with no touch with real world. People also mistake the buzz words such as "peer-to-peer", "border-less", "decentralised" etc as the problems to be solved. But sadly these are not real problems. The insignificant problems (speed and fees) are hardly enough to sell and these problems are going away anyway. I have no respect to Nakamoto because he ignored the most important element (govt and authorities) in social situation and still want to sell it as some solution to social situations. Hardly any country has regulatory framework that deals with btc.
The problems are rooted in the philosophy of crypto, not in the code. So, the beauty of blockchain tech is irrelevant for btc. It is like selling a bad app by showing how great Android is.
1) Bitcoin does not provide controlled visibility, because it doesn't recognise the existence of governments. Now if you make changes to provide visibility to authorities, ALL privacy is gone. If you don't, then ALL visibility is gone.
2) Fees are rooted in the design. Whatever consensus you invent for a public blockchain, you can't escape rewarding the work of validating transactions. So zero fees are not possible.
Public blockchains sacrifice all good qualities of a business application for the sake of trust-less environment which is not even actually a problem to solve in many contexts. Also they make it extremely costly to run small amount of code or small storage. Who wants their business code to be validated by all arbitrary people in the world?
Most ICOs are sharing economy concepts similar to uber model. Lack of a responsible intermediary and costs will make these "innovations" to fail, if they ever have to touch real-world activities.
Bulk of the blockchain activity will move to business collaborations which might not even look like a blockchain. Crypto coins will be used in most business blockchains, but these coins will be value-less tokens and very specific to the business or institutional activity.
1) Bitcoin does provide controlled visibility, what do you think a public ledger like the blockchain does otherwise? 2) What is wrong with Bitcoin having fees? It's a way to reward people for processing transactions made on the Bitcoin network. You see more and more governments regulating Bitcoin and most of the western world seems to stand fairly positive towards it. The level of success is debatable but I would say that Bitcoin has had some impact in the world. |

This is a cool idea for sure, but only if it's regularly updated. Are you completely relying on other people to submit events or are you also looking for them yourself?
Are you also moderating the entries?
I don't know if the rumours section is a good idea, it could quickly turn into a trollbox. There's probably not going to be verifiable information there.

If they were transparent with using visitor's CPU power to mine I don't think too many people would be upset. However I can understand the shock. Personally, I'm in favor of this versus ads because it's less intrusive, and hopefully I don't think it would ruin the browsing experience on the site. I'm just wondering why thepiratebay chose to mine Monero vs other crypto..
It don't really matter, the website can do whatever it wants. If there's people complaining about then move on and torrent somewhere else. Using visitors' computers for mining without their consent is pretty low actually, even for The Piratebay. I'm not opposed to it as long they inform their users, I have Javascript disabled by default so it doesn't really affect me anyway. |

I don't understand why trading is the same as gambling for some people? With gambling you will loose in the end, but you can have some nice profits now and then.
If you choose to trade without proper knowledge, it will feel like gambling. If you try to understand how trading works, you will make a profit with that info.
i dont understand, why every second people are stupidiest than other. gambling is slots, roulette, russian poker vs "house"(game giver) and other similar sh*ts whatever its online or casino, is games for fun and gamble money it's made that you can't beat, what are no possible to beat it in longrun. poker is skill, knowledge and mathematic advantage game.(all 3 things skill, knowledge, mathematic are used every single hand) dice is only mathematic and knowledge(knowledge in theoretical aspect, what was used only one time to make strategy) advantage game. trading is only knowledge and luck advantage thing(there is no mathematic at all, what you can use for beating it to get +EV(expect money) in longrun , except only one thing - bankroll managment) IMO. (so you can continue debate about trading things with me, because im not traider) so please stop using and put things in one box with gambling, where you have/can get mathematic advantage!Where is that coming from? Advantage on gambling? You must be joking when you saying about this thing. What I do know every single games in gambling sure depends on your luck. Whether you are going for long run or not, luck always play in a role and bankroll is a sure thing to boost your luck. So where is this mathematic advantage that can give you such profit? I just wondering if you even trying before you can talk like this first of all, learn what is what, what is gambling, and what is not. (im not saying something about advantage in gambling, dice is not gambling) ofc luck are taking some role even in poker, but you are making every decision from mathematic aspect, and if you do right thing, you dont care short term luck variance. Sorry but dice certainly is gambling and if you think that you could gain an edge over the casino with certain strategies, than you're mistaken. It's true that you can play dice in a way that minimizes your losses, but over a long period of time, the house always has an advantage over you. You're right about poker though. |

I'm definitely not an expert gambler, but I do think it's possible to become an expert in gambling.
This doesn't mean that you'll always win or anything like that, but rather that you know how to make your edge the highest possible in each game.
I'm also pretty good at online poker against other players, but I'd call myself advanced in that area, certainly not an expert.

We cant just give our money to them. We make sure we wont lose our investment thats why few people who invest. Everyday i saw many complains that they were scammed by hyip ponzi sites. You cant blame us why we're so selective on where investments we put our money at.
I dont blame anyone. What I ask is why there s not more legit supply of good investment opportunities, to put it that way. There are some good investment opportunities to be found on this forum, but usually not in one of these general threads like you mention in the OP. Take Crypto-Games for example, an investor is posting his progress on a thread in the Securities section of the forum and has been doing so since February 2017. Since then he has earned a total profit of +27.96% in BTC on his investment, turned 1 BTC into 1.279598 BTC. Check out the thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796062.0I'm sure that there are even more threads scattered around the forum listing some profitable and relatively safe investments, you just have to know where to look for them. |

You are a guest here, I am a guest here. The staff can ban you or delete your threads for any reason they want, it is their service. If you don't like it, you could always post nonsensical rubbish on your own forums, but then nobody would be around to see it. Why do you care about someone else's thread being closed anyway?
That's a bit of a non-answer actually, yes it's true that the mods have the power to close down a thread for whatever reason, but in reality they don't close threads unless a rule was broken. I've personally never seen any mods abuse their power, I've seen a lot of claims that they do, but every time they exercise their power, it has been in good faith. (At least the times I've seen it happen) This particular thread was closed because: ATTENTION: Due to the bounty incentivising posting on the ANN thread (which is an on-forum altcoin giveaway in any and all definitions), this thread is locked. There is zero tolerance for those blatantly breaking the "no on-forum altcoin giveaways" rule.

Payment received! Thanks again  |

I don't know if I'd call myself a true believer, but I've been a part of the Bitcoin community since 2012 and I've always used Bitcoin as currency.
I've never stopped buying things using Bitcoin as a payment method, regardless of the fees.
I still use fiat currency, but if a merchant accepts Bitcoin, I'll always choose that over fiat.

The first altcoin that was introduced to the market of cryptocurrency is Namecoin. It was created in april 2011 right after the creation of bitcoin.
It is one of the ten altcoins,the intention of namecoin's creation was to decentralize domain registrations.
Namecoin is still among successful altcoins and can be also used as a digital currency payment purpose.
Till now I thought it was litecoin. Just curious, Is namecoin anyway related to namecheap? It is different, https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=6017.0The thread already created in 2011 which mean litecoin hadn't born. there is no relationship between namecheap with namecoin as far as i know. same name not means related right  namecheap on hosting business and not in crypto. in past there are no crypto that related to business like now It's actually not that weird of a question, Namecheap actually accepts Bitcoin as a payment you know  So it could have been something that they supported or helped invent, but indeed it's definitely not the case. I also thought that Litecoin was the first altcoin, but I was wrong. |

vouchers can be used to help promote
as a part of the affiliate marketing,for example: I message some guy and ask him to register under my reflink
then he messages me in game,I check if he is my ref and I send him my voucher code,he is happy,I am happy
(well if he gambles,otherwise I'm pissed cause I've wasted money,haha,but thats the risk I'm willing to take)
on the other hand,they could be used by abusers as a form of money transfer and laundering
eg: I create 100 accounts,play with faucet,convert wins to vouchers,send to one account and withdraw
so its a double edged sword
You can already send funds to other users by gifting them coins via the chat on the Crypto-Games website, so that solves your first question. But is that really a smart idea? You would have no guarantee that you would ever make those coins back. How to gift coins or lottery tickets to other users via chat: The chat window allows you to tip other players by typing the command !tip [nickname] [amount] [coin]. For example, to send ChuckNorris 0.5 Litecoin to his Crypto-Games account, use the following command: !tip ChuckNorris 0.5 LTC. The minimum tipping amounts are: 0.002 Bitcoin, 0.05 Ether, 1000 Dogecoin, 0.1 Litecoin, 0.2 Monero, 0.05 Dash, 60 Gridcoin, 1 Peercoin, 1 Stratis and 1,000,000 PlayMoney.
You can buy lottery tickets for other users with the following command: !lotto [coin] [# of tickets] [nickname]. For example, to buy two Dogecoin Lottery tickets for user ChuckNorris, enter the following command: !lotto Doge 2 ChuckNorris.
You're not allowed to create 100 accounts, that's against site rules. Even with VPN's, I wouldn't even try it, if moderators see that those accounts are connected in any way, they have the right to close the accounts and take all funds from them. From the FAQ: Can I have multiple accounts?
-No, only one account per person is allowed. Players with multiple accounts will be blocked and all funds, including investments, will be confiscated.

Also note that there is something similar, you can run a Dash masternode and you'll essentially get paid a dividend from each block reward. Though the initial investment is very high, 1000 Dash collateral, you can expect to get around 2 Dash every week from that. There are other coins with masternodes, but afaik the investment required is pretty high. Check out: http://dashmasternode.org/what-is-a-masternode/ |

I'll just tell you what I would do if I were in your place, so that doesn't mean it's the correct thing.
I would just buy £500 worth of Bitcoin and keep buying whenever I have money to spare.
I'm personally really not a big fan of ETH and I think that it's very possible that we'll see something going wrong with it due to vulnerabilities in the future.

Thx you all for your reply, viaBTC doesn't work, he said me " fees are to low" i can pay maybe 5$ ...
ViaBTC's FAQ states: With the Transaction Accelerator for delayed transactions, you can submit any TXID that includes a minimum fee of 0.0001BTC/KB.
Your transaction is 1256 bytes, so that's 1.2265 KB and you've got a fee of 0.0000631 BTC. You've used too little fees to make use of viaBTC's transaction accelerator. I'm not sure if this will ever confirm, even with the mempool being as empty as it is now. Be prepared to wait a few days at least. |
|
|
|
Which wallet did you use to send this transaction? I thought most wallets automatically calculated the fees for you and did so pretty accurately? In the future, you should always double check on https://bitcoinfees.21.co to see how much fees you should add to get your transaction confirmed. |

Ok, but why the electroneum app says that you can mining from there app? Is actually very confusing, I'm not a expert but from what I know you need a good video card for all the mining you made, still very confusing.
Note: I'm now is this and today I'm thinking to spend 800€ only for video cards, if you can help me I can tip you, thank you.
For the desktop there's an app called Minergate, which allows you to mine certain coins with your CPU and video card. You won't earn much with it, but I've used it with succes in the past to mine bytecoin and made around 0.025 BTC after mining a couple of weeks. You have similar apps for Android, but they're definitely not worth it, you'll overheat your phone and won't earn anything. |

The ideal initial amount is 0 (zero), you earn some coins in airdrops, giveaways or doing some simple tasks online and then you build your portfolio from there.
That's how you really learn to navigate in bitcoinland.
If you have enough money to invest, money your can afford to lose, then just buy bitcoin every month, sit on it, and in a few years you'll have a nice sum of money.
Is it really possible for newbies to earn any significant amount of coins through airdrops or giveaways? I mean actual Bitcoin, not some obscure ICO that gives away a few of their tokens. I tried some faucets and stuff myself when I first started, but quickly found out that they weren't worth the effort and I just bought some coins for a couple of hundred dollars after a few days. I've never lost any, so it can't be too hard for a newbie to learn about Bitcoin after making a small investment. Though this was before the fees were so high, so I guess you could make some mistakes with that now. Of course it is, just keep accumulating and don't expect to retire after a month or a year, but after 2 or 3 years, those accumulated coins will be worth quite an amount of money, of course it requires to learn how to trade, don't keep shitcoins forever, but some are good projects and value will increase a lot. I don't know, I think these freebies aren't really worth the effort, unless you happen to find something really good, which doesn't happen too often. Time spent on this kind of stuff could be put to so much better use, perhaps learn a valuable skill which you could then offer in return for Bitcoin. If I had to choose between spending a week looking for giveaways or other free crypto-related stuff or spend that time learning how to build a website or programming, I'd choose the latter. It's a far better investment of my time. |

Could you kindly explain what the purpose of decentralisation of such platform? In my understanding. AIRBnB is already decentralized. I did not see value of your project. But I see that users could have some problems due lack of users support of decentralisation. I think value of product should be explained more wide and accutate.
Good luck
You should read their whitepaper, it pretty much answers all of your questions. Their system would allow you to send payments directly to the people renting out the housing, rather than through intermediaries like AirBnB does. From the whitepaper: A purely peer-to-peer electronic short-term rental system would allow rental
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through
financial and reputational intermediaries like AirBnB. We want to provide a
peer-to-peer solution to the trust problem inherent with renting out apartments
to strangers around the world.
How is AirBnb decentralized in your opinion btw? |
