2901  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BTC tx accelerator works really? on: November 02, 2020, 03:36:32 PM
AFAIK, only 100 tx limits that allow per hour in the ViaBTC Bitcoin transaction accelerator.  If you will receive an error response it might be the 100 tx limit has been achieved within an hour.  Probably you should wait another 1 hour and accelerate the transaction next after an hour.

ViaBTC works quite normally all these years and does not work for those who have not read the minimum requirements, and do not know how to add a transaction.
Exactly, and here are the Bitcoin pools prove that they really work.
https://bitcoinchain.com/pools, and ViaBTC was in 4th place.

On the eve of Halloween 31 October 2008 satoshi wrote
"I have been working on a electronic cash system that's fully peer- to -peer ,with no trusted third party."
Can we say that his work has been done or is still a work in progress .
" What has been the development of Bitcoin and improvement since that statement was made till now?
And will Bitcoin (satoshi dream or goal ) be fully accepted in the world as a means of payment?.
Good thing Satoshi was a very smart person because when he/they decided to leave and become anonymous, he leave Bitcoin that has an open-source code that everyone can make progress on it.  If you will be having research, Bitcoin developers were increased each number per year.  It means there are a lot more interested to make progress on Bitcoin source code which found here, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.

For the second highlighted.
Bitcoin was now mainstream and I think Satoshi Nakamoto might happy to see that Bitcoin was now very popular all over the world.  Even though there are some countries that prohibited using Bitcoin but at least the vast majority are recognizing this as an alternative in online payment, most especially at this moment when really need cashless payment.
2903  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: American election is nothing to do with BTC on: November 01, 2020, 03:31:40 PM
Possible there is.

As we can see, the US presidential election has always had an effect on all markets, stock, or even crypto markets.  However, once the election is done then there could possibly an impact on the Bitcoin price when the newly elected already takes place.  Since investors have the right to pull out their investment at any time they want we're not even sure if some or most of us here did invest in Bitcoin for they don't trust the current government for all we know this is one of the best investment to keep our assets.

But we can't guarantee if these investors will change their minds pulling out their investments if there will also be a change in the leadership of the US government to show support for their candidate.  And we can't also ignore the fact that after the election if there will be changes in the government there could also be changes in how the US will take Bitcoin and possibly lead into adoption which we all aim for.

We don't know if Biden will replace Trump and Biden will adopt and allow using crypto in the US.  If so, this is a big boom to the Bitcoin price.
2904  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: is there any demand for Bitmex or binance verified accounts? on: November 01, 2020, 03:16:47 PM
.. do you think there are buyers?
I think nobody will buy hacked accounts, even though those hackers.  If the purpose is avoiding them the KYC verification thing, they will surely not bite this offer.  Because they know you can easily get it back after they deposited their funds.  I'm just curious too where did you get those verified accounts, unless if you hired different people just to have the government issue card to get verified on that exchange, and you selling it without knowing them.

Anyway, I'm sure you don't have a buyer on this forum.  Most users here are honest and didn't want to risk.  It might you have a chance in the black market.

2906  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bitgofly core trustworthy or not?? on: October 31, 2020, 04:51:48 PM
I opened the site that OP stated above it seems copy-pasted from the website of https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/.

I searched the URL on who.is and this is what I've got.

It's absolutely a scam site.  Don't you ever download and input your private key.  It might wipe out your entire balance if there is.
If you already downloaded, make sure you didn't transfer your fund there.  Uninstall and clean your device immediately, I suspected you might downloaded also a malware that can be lead to hacking your assets.
2907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can bitcoin be made easy? on: October 31, 2020, 04:19:11 PM
Your thread is too vague it will be better to be understood by the readers and responded back to you if you try to do it in a more specific way.

Though some information like how to prevent getting scammed can be identified in your statement and most of the readers provided you with the correct response like Charles-Tim comment and given information links, it will surely help you but the best one will still be DYOR.  In fact, I did it when I'm also newly learning the basics in protecting your wallet might be as easy as counting 1, 2, & 3 but you must take extra precautionary measures since your Bitcoin is still an asset that hackers love to steal.

You must understand first how Bitcoin will work and how to secure it by using the right wallet that you control the key.  Please keep in mind that, your key your Bitcoin.
2908  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the duck is btc at 13.526,98 USD ? on: October 31, 2020, 03:44:37 PM
Being fair with OP I can't blame him for his doubt besides we're all entitled to it but the thing is he is new to Bitcoin and hasn't seen how was Bitcoin in the past and its continuous changes as it grows up to date.  Probably he will have his doubt if he started in the early stage of Bitcoins and witnessed how Bitcoins survive with all the critics like Warren Buffet is doing right now but they never won pulling down Bitcoin.

Definitely, you can't read any positive thing in financial books for those are written based on centralized assets that were taught in the school and it collaborates with the principle of the central bank.  The financial institution of the country which is not similar to the ideology of Bitcoin as a decentralized currency.
2909  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not needed but only for investment purposes on: October 30, 2020, 04:05:19 PM
It's the freedom to have your own wealth.

I'm not sure what you exactly meant when you say Bitcoin is a form of gambling that when you're new you are more prone to lose.  Probably it's true but we need to remember that in life we always gamble in order for us to survive just like when you go to business using fiat or whatever assets you have you're still taking the risk of the possibilities that you may succeed or lose.

But I perfectly understand where you're coming from because I also felt the same way as you do when I'm also new to Bitcoin.  However, there are lots of ways for us to keep earning Bitcoins aside from trading it by selling and buying we can also earn by rendering service to someone who can pay us with Bitcoin.  In that case, you can save it in addition to what you already have a piece of advice to try to remove in your mind that Bitcoins is always about gambling instead it is a decentralized currency that has a concept of what everyone is aiming for.

2910  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warren thoughts on Bitcoin on: October 30, 2020, 03:18:41 PM
As far as I understand, by this statement he meant not only bitcoin, but all cryptocurrencies in general. I do not agree with him, in my opinion, the future belongs to cryptocurrencies. Sooner or later, paper money will disappear from circulation, or at least, its use will decrease significantly. Technology is the future.
As crypto enthusiasts, we can ignore him.

FYI, Warren Buffet is the 7th wealthiest person in the world.  With his age and the types of industries he invested in, obviously, it will be hard for him to understand the value of Bitcoins (that's why his a Bitcoin hater).  When he mentioned that "you don't do anything with it except sell it to someone else" the statement is already wrong, for all we know even a piece of chewing gum that you sell for a single cent or a penny still has a value which made his statement incorrect because anything in this world regardless if it is physical or not and you are able to sell it that means it has a value which confutes his own words.

Anyway like OP said everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and be able to express it in his own way. Just ignore him he might just live during the stone age, IMO.
2911  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum mobile wallet needs to give us more control over our fees on: October 30, 2020, 03:07:45 PM
Quick question though, assuming I executed the transaction I highlighted above using this fees option (what would had been the estimated fees, I would had probably paid?).
Good to know you have found the option of modifying fees using Electrum because I always use this when I didn't in a hurry to transfer my Bitcoin.

In calculating the fee when I have a transaction, I look first at Johoe's Bitcoin Mempool Statistics if what's the status of the mempool, if it's congested, I won't make any transaction because for sure it will cost most commonly $3-4 before it will be confirmed at least in just a day.  Then, I used this https://bitcoinfees.net/, you can see there what is the fee, sat/vB, and corresponding estimating hour to be confirmed.
2912  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Halloween inspired poll –would your Bitcoins get passed on if you suddenly died? on: October 27, 2020, 05:33:14 PM
I didn't know how to start the answer, because honestly, I'm not yet ready to die.  But in God's well, if I'm going to pass on, I will make sure my one trusted family will know my valuable account.  Probably tomorrow I will start to think about the best option where can my coins possible to inherit by my heirs.  It might be good if they already know where your most valuable thing where it is stored including my bank account, state, and digital assets, and put into a safety box or vault much better. Keep it there including my private key and wallets account that where my coins stored.

I'd choose, 90%.  However, I didn't how this works but I will try to make such a plan. I think since digital currency or Bitcoin is a part that can be inherited just like a state, much better if we also consult an attorney to seek help and your estate plans.
2913  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you really need in your trading? on: October 27, 2020, 04:21:30 PM
There's nothing wrong if you will use a trading signal provider if you can afford the paid membership on it.  Yeah, it's a waste of time for others but there are some traders who still using it due to lack of time of having their own research and also an automated trading tool that monitors their trading activity when they are away from the keyboard.  Because not all traders are can able to do their own analysis such as fundamental and technical analysis.

We had different strategies in trading, if you preferred to trade on your own, that's good for you.  But the best is the experience in trading will make your skills sharpen in trading and become profitable or even professional in trading.
2914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin changed after 10 years? Does it still have same benefits? on: October 27, 2020, 03:35:18 PM
A Bitcoin wallet that has supported Lightning Network and using a wallet that supported with SegWit transaction for having a less fee is far better as of now when it comes to having less transaction fee.  Because there are custodial wallets that have a fixed fee that you can't able to modify your transaction fee and set into lower fees.  Remember that lower fees might also longer time to wait, sometimes waiting is the best thing to do.  If your transaction isn't urgent, choose lower fees, but if that is urgent it should be good if you follow the required fees by the miners depend on the network congestion.

You can also avoid transaction fees when the Bitcoin network isn't busy or congested, through the help of Johoe's Bitcoin Mempool Statistics, you will be able to calculate your transaction fee and the time to be confirmed.
2915  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Best places for Crypto Traders on: October 26, 2020, 11:26:10 PM
Youtube video tutorials and exchange that has a demo trading is the best place to go while you're catching knowledge in trading.  Just avoid joining a group that has a personal opinion, or just like what GreatArkansas said above, most of them are shilling or having drama which is lead us in the wrong direction.  Telegram group channel sometimes is good but I will choose only a reputable one, just like the Cointelegraph telegram channel for the news update.  Gathering news is sometimes worth it to have your own technical analysis.

Bitcointalk forum is also a good place to learn, a Wall Observer thread where you will learn reading a candlestick chart and give daily news updates.

Anyway, there are many too many places if you really want to learn about trading.  Just a piece of advice, avoid joining paid pump and dump group on any social media, they are sucks.
2916  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How does ChipMixer make money? on: October 26, 2020, 05:00:29 PM
But here is my simple question, so many campaigns claiming to be mixing bitcoin have been launched on the forum, why can't they pay as much as chipmixer does,? also their campaign duration isn't lasted than chipmixer, what's the strategy used by chipmixer over other mixing services?
The reason could be they aren't yet popular as a crypto mixer, they don't want to invest in advertisement marketing strategy just what Chiopmixer did.
Another factor is that they hired good poster members in the forum and most of them are very active in the technical discussion that might get more interest to the Chipmixer clients.  Also, I saw most promoters are staff members on the forum.

They invest money in advertising -> advertising attracts customers -> customers generate profit -> profit is greater than costs.
This is how business works.
No doubt this could be the reason, another factor is the manager has managed the signature campaign very well in choosing the right person who will wear the signature of Chipmixer and promote.  When I saw a post that wore Chipmixer signature, I know they are a good poster and always give good advice.  How much more if there are newbies or visitors in the forum that want to user Chipmixer.
2917  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Buying a used Ledger... Yay or Nay? on: October 26, 2020, 03:35:42 PM
I tend to agree with all suggestions above.  Never use a used hardware wallet because you will never know it is manipulated by installing them an unofficial firmware that could be lead you to a hack and wipe out your entire balance.  It could also have tampered with manipulated malicious firmware or could be trick you using a fake firmware.

If you can't afford hardware wallets, it's better to choose open-source desktop wallet apps that free to download and safe.  Don't hesitate to spend a few Euros just for the safety purpose of your fund, if you have a thousand Bitcoin worth, I rather choose and buy a new one where your fund is safe.  But if that is a few hundred bucks, just choose a desktop wallet and it might good if you start with Electrum.

Even you aren't asking, I share with you this [BIG LIST] Hardware wallets (80+).  There could be a cheap lower than 51 euros upon buying Ledger or Trezor, price it doesn't important if the valuable assets that you feel safe.

Anyway, before making and generating a Bitcoin address, make sure you're the one who holds the keys, not the reseller of used HW.
2918  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] ETHx2 Ponzi scheme promising 1% daily return! on: October 25, 2020, 05:03:45 PM
I reported to the MOD also this thread when I saw there is a referral link but it seems OP was edited the thread and also the ref link.

I thought it was deleted but I was surprised he got red-tagged by promoting a scam website when I was open the thread.  There's nothing to be true with the HYIP offer and most likely they will end up scam and take your money away.  Good thing you have been taking an action to do research on what OP promoted.

Supported the flag as well.
2919  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to send fake Bitcoin on: October 25, 2020, 04:41:33 PM
There is, but you can only fool naive people that don't know how Bitcoin will work and don't know how to verify Bitcoin transactions.

I found this blog, Fake Bitcoin Sender Tool - Fake Bitcoin Generator Software & Bitcoin Hack 2020 that you can send and generate fake Bitcoin to your family or friends that you want to prank or as a tool to fool people.  But you need to download the software which I don't think if this will not harm your device.

On the other hand, double sending is one of the common cases of fooling people, you should wait for at least 1 confirmation and verify the transaction using a Blockchain explorer.  In Bitcoin transactions, there are nodes constantly verifying the network, and verifying the network might a good practice not to fall of scammers activity.
2920  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: 75 Crypto Exchanges have shut down since this year started and hasn't even ended on: October 25, 2020, 04:08:41 PM
Way back during the time when the ICO trend was at its peak, investors were pouring in billions of money to so many kinds of crypto projects. Crypto projects back then were so diverse that they seem to cover almost all aspects of our daily lives. Of course, we all know most of them died. Even those which were able to gather tens of millions.
Because it might a part of the competition, crypto exchange is a business that if the owner or the team will poorly manage it will result in a failed business.
In order for them to survive, there should be a good service or good quality as a product that the traders were surely looking for and stay on exchange.  But then if not, they will surely bankrupt and won't survive, this case is different from the fraudulent exchange and scamming cases which are also forcibly closed by the government.

But now, the Defi trend that makes a decentralized exchange have good services offered to avoid problems like CEX that commonly close.  Let see where it goes or those Defi exchange will survive in the long run.
