There are several women working in the sphere as well.

And there's even Tatiana Moroz with her tatiana coin Wink

I think that bitcoin was the most cunning technology developed in the XXI century.

It has become the holy grail for online freelancers and entrepreneurs.

So, to describe Bitcoin in one word I would go for:

Entrepreneurship

Really nice!
I was looking for card and this might just be it!
Can I use this card in any country with Euros?
I'll probably will be ordering one after I see the feedback from European users Wink

You can use the card anywhere in the world where you see an ATM or a terminal with the MasterCard logo. It's just that EUR transactions are going to be cheaper.

I've registered! Made my BTC deposit, now I'm waiting for the 6 transactions confirmations required until I be able to ask for the Card.
I will try it once I get it and report back here Wink

Wow, just got my card! Already activated it, it is a very simple process, tho you need to retrieve your pin through a phone call, which for some can be a little confusing.

When you are in Europe you need to dial 00 before the number you need to call. Up until now I've pretty much enjoyed the service

already funded my account and will try the card tonight out shopping Smiley

I'll report back.


Until now, no reason to complain!

I have used the card to cash out some money at an ATM and it worked fine! But it is better to cash out a good amount at a time because of the fee, even though it isn't too high.

As for other type of transaction or payment it works just fine and it has no costs.

I can say that I'm pleased with the service, but I'll use it more often to extend my experience and to have a better understanding of its pros as well as its cons!
2865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many of you are living just with Bitcoin? on: August 13, 2015, 10:26:36 PM
Using those pre-paid cards isn't really living on Bitcoin only, unfortunately... Smiley

I definitely can't, at least yet. Almost no local services where I can use Bitcoin Sad

Yes, I know what you're saying... but technically it isn't but indirectly it is;

Let's imagine that you are at the restaurant:

you have some coins in your smartphone mycelium wallet. While the dinner is yet to be served you send your coins (the approximate amount) to your prepaid card, and when you're finished with your dinner you can pay with your card. So, in a sense it is almost as if you paid directly with bitcoin.

Anyway... we are much better of than we were 3 years ago  Cool
2866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is Second Life starting to use Bitcoin? on: August 13, 2015, 10:05:11 PM
Yeah, users need to go to virwox to exchange linden for BTC
Linden labs wants total control over their linden dollars and the system works so why change?

Besides, only about 20 people use second life anymore

Well, that's where you're wrong! And Alexa says otherwise too:



Secondlife is still growing and the new platform (where virtual reality will also be an integrant part) will certainly attract a lot of new people.

It's not like that they're not the leading company in this type of role play and all...

And... so I do see how it is important for bitcoin to get to that niche!
2867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How many of you are living just with Bitcoin? on: August 13, 2015, 09:53:12 PM
I have been around in the space for more than 3 years now. And now I can surely say that I can live using just bitcoin.

3 years ago it was almost unthinkable to get a Mastercard recharged with bitcoin. Well now, there are several companies offering this type of card. Even though, there are fees tied to the whole process, that up until now kept me uncomfortable in doing so, I finally decided to get one!

Now I have my prepaid card and I can use it anywhere in the world simply by reloading it with bitcoin.

Even if it is paying for what I need indirectly with bitcoin, it made me realize how easy it is to live just with bitcoin. You can get your salary in bitcoin that it still won't matter it will be the same as having it received on your Bank account.

So, how many of you are now living just with bitcoin?

IIRC, Second Life allows for players to sell the virtual currency to each other using 3rd party means, and players can also purchase the currency from the company itself.

So, based on that, any players willing to accept Bitcoin in trade would technically count as the game "using" Bitcoin.

And since the devs claim that they don't own most of the content within the game, they can claim that there is [thing] within the game, without having to do anything themselves, if I am correct.

True! They really allow for the users to do their own business, and they were indeed an open source software which meant that users could even develop in game apps.

However, I heard they closed their source code and now only work with some specific meshes of developers. And they do demand that the users use their inworld currency - Linden Dollars. but of course that aside the game, there's nothing saying that users can't deal with other currencies if it's that what you mean...

The Question is, Has Linden ever commented about bitcoin?
2871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / When is Second Life starting to use Bitcoin? on: August 13, 2015, 01:31:37 PM
Hi guys!

Recently I've thought about Second Life. Second Life was one of the first sites, if not the first to introduce the concept of virtual currency.

They have their own centralized currency, the Linden Dollar.

For now I know that it is not possible to buy Lindens with bitcoin through the 2nd life site, but people have been using Wirvox exchange to do just that:

https://community.secondlife.com/t5/Merchants/bitcoins-to-lindens/td-p/2550854

So my guess is, When is Second Life Linden) starting to use Bitcoin?

Is there any mention from Linden about this?

Man... I'll tell by experience.... and I live in Europe so I know what's the cost of energy.

If you bought miners at this time you would never reach ROI.

If you are really interested in mining you better stay away from it before the next halving. After that, there will also be new hardware coming out. Considering that BTC price will increase, Then you can decide if you want to invest in mining.

Until then, better buy some BTC and hold.

I don't get it... so If we hold this coins we have some gains. But do I need to hold them on a wallet like if I was staking them?

Yes, you should hold them on your own wallet.
Because to get dividends your wallet should contain over 10,000 and be registered.

If you hold your Amber on exchange you'll not be able to get staking and receive dividends.

Ok! Thanks, now I get it! I will need to download the wallet Wink

And can you explain me how is the profit distributed? Is it a monthly gain or a weekly gain?

Cloud mining is very Risky; and in general, cloud mining contracts are nothing more than ponzi schemes.

If you want to cloud mine you should buy ghs and not mining contracts.

There are 2\3 sites that are trusted: cex and hashnest. However, for now cex.io is not a good option.

2879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Polinex is not to be trusted. on: August 12, 2015, 01:47:34 PM
Recently I've seen many people banned for even suggesting that ETH is not a good coin. Pumpers though are freely allowed to hype. It's clear to me that Polonex is welcoming pumps that push up their volume and won't let anyone touch it.

I'm sick of hearing Polinex is a great site, it's scammy and all they want is your trade, which is ok but let's not think Polinex isn't going to let bias cloud their judgement.

Its not only on Poloniex but on other exchanges as well. Poloniex is a trusted exchange, however they can't control the whales who have enough BTC to do whatever PnDs they like!
2880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's going to happen to Litecoin price? on: August 12, 2015, 01:29:34 PM
I believe we will still see a Pump in the price before the halving. Still got some LTC stashed for when that happens Wink
LTC will be far more rare and that will surely have an impact on the price. In fact, the average price per LTC as already increased.
