I think it won't be so hard to understand that bitcoin payment implementation can be done for extra comfort. When you see visa/mastercard, skrill, paypal, webmomey, yandex money, neteller and others as a payment option in store, this doesn't mean shop owner supports them, no, he/she doesn't give a shit to those companies, it's just to make payment more available for everyone amd every type of customer. Imagine, I am in restaurant, seems I don't have cash and just realizef that I left my card in store but I remember I have money on my bitcoin wallet and store accepts it too, it escapes me from current weird situation. Can you understand now why wide choise of payment is good?


Congrats OP, it's a good step. But on another hand I am very interested in how beneficial btc payment implementation will be for you. So can you answer me on these questions?
1. How good is your bar's location? Is it located in areas which is full of tourists or it's mostly for those who live nearby?
2. How much transactions have been done since you implemented it? If there was any, how much was on bitcoin and on bitcoin cash.

Hey there,
1- it's not a great location. It's inside the Record store but the town having almost 30M people a year ( Camden Town)

2-since I announced, only people been sending some small amount of tips and only 1 person purchased coffee with BTC after he saw it in here Smiley

My tweet about it has reached almost 200k reach and plenty of engagement but at the end of the day nobody wants to travel to buy a cuppa with BTC.

Those people are great who sent tips to you, seems they appreciated the fact you integrated btc payment. If it doesn't affect your budget, then why not to keep it? I think it's still unusual for people when they see someone paying with btc and seems everyonr tries to pay with what's common, possibly.

bitcoin mining has not been a CHINA thing for a couple years now.

will people stop living in propoganda past
This +1
As far as I remember companies (including bitmain, viabtc and others) where moving their miners from china to another countries. Also that's not a huge problem, small miners can't affect it but huge companies or even any person can easily move mining equipment into another country, you know there are a lot of services which offer you to host your miners + they have low electricity prices (this for small ones). If you want, see how great offer does Bitfury gets outside of china (they mine in europe).
3023  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are Stablecoins A Necessary Evil? on: April 11, 2019, 02:16:03 PM
To my mind stablecoins are good at some point, for example imagine Monero with stable price. This way you won't have to worry on price movement if anonimity and privacy is important for you rather than profit from holding/trading cryptocurrencies. This means you have analogue of usd but with crypto opportunities, doesn't sound bad to my mind. I don't talk about tether and etc.
3024  Economy / Gambling / Re: what the most honest casino ,provably fair that accept bitcoin? on: April 10, 2019, 06:41:48 PM
I have one question, what do you mean in "most provably fair"? One website lies you by 1% (most provably) and least provably by 40%? Provably fair is provably fair. Everyone can see that there are a lot of casinos' ANN threads, you can view them, there are really wide choise of good casinos, which to choose matters on what are you looking for beside provably fair system, it can be different kind of promotions, rakeback and etc.
3025  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is following the same path of 2017 on: April 10, 2019, 02:04:23 PM
Currently even with that chart compare we can't say that bitcoin is following thr same path of 2017 but I highly believe it will follow and we will see new all time high price in 2020 because of upcoming halving. Price don't has to fall but keeping regular 6-7k this year will be great success to my mind. We have to repeat 2017 in 2020 when halving will happen, for a little time stable price and then rise and rise.
3026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Heard of Crypto Games Conference in Belarus? on: April 10, 2019, 10:56:15 AM
There are many similar conferences but they don't get much attention, probably because all they care is to sell tickets at high price.
Seems there is wide discussion around gaming, so I think it would be better if there will be representatives of famous crypto gambling websites (not actuallt blockchain related), companies which work on VR, RPG and so on.
3027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jihan Wu is no longer CEO of Bitmain on: April 10, 2019, 09:34:55 AM
When we talk about Bitmain, non step will be taken for any positive changes, no, all their step means trying and wish of increasing profit, being more shady. Well, we all know what Bitmain is.
To be fair I still don't understand why they plan to make their financial situation transparent? What's happening around them? Are they changing their attitudes to change their situation? lol
3028  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Now Streaming on Amazon Prime Video: RIZQI PRESENTS BLOCKCHAIN on: April 09, 2019, 09:06:36 PM
And can you tell us what's your role in this project (Are you actor, producer, scenarist or etc)?
Short description of second serie is a hype for me, what does it mean decentralized internet based on blockchain technology? Can you make it clear here if it won't affect production? Btw good theme to discuss. Internet isn't as centralized as governments want, a lot of thing gives us possibility to keep serious anonimity.
Wish you success production and popularity.
3029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the new model of fundrising is IEO on: April 09, 2019, 08:23:06 PM
the BTC market in 2018 is very bad and created a bear market. and that affects the fundraising model (ICO). finally a new alternative fundraising was coming such as STO and new model fundrising can attracted many large investors is the IEO.

We know that ICO can make money quickly because of the public sales model, but the fundrising model is often used by scammers to get money quickly and only for the benefit of the team. even some projects don't care about their projects. so they only create bad coin coins that have no value on the market.
coins from the IEO can be directly traded in the exchange after the sale is complete. but the ICO model must wait a long time to trade after it is listed in the exchange. so I think IEO is reliable and user friendly. how about you all ?
do you see bad results from the IEO?
Please explain in more details, what is IEO? Does it offer benefits of Secure Token Exchange or is it just an ICO with only difference on instant trading after sale ends?
I think secure token offering is good option to feel more secured when investing in ICO. Investment isn't rasy option and wheb you invest, there are always risks, non model can make you sure that team members will do their best to create great coin and etc.
Btw can you list projects (famous ones) which have used IEO?
3030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there any casinos that have a 0% house edge? on: April 09, 2019, 11:40:12 AM
Don't you want a casino which will give you free money forever? Just to make it clear: 0% house edge means casino has no profit from gambling, 0% house edge hugely increases chanses of your win which means casino will go bankrupt. If casino goes bankrupt, then who will pay you? No one, also don't believe if they say to have different monetization model, 0% house edge ruins everything, non different monetization can handle players' wins.
3031  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Looking to get into GPU mining on: April 09, 2019, 10:39:30 AM

To be fair GPU mining isn't something where you need to buy one gpu for test to learn on it, it's pretty easy. Personally I would take gtx 1070 and up, to my mind great choise is gtx 1080ti, I prefer nvidia cards because you don't depend on ethereum like on amd, you can mine a lot of coins with great profit.
For profitability comparison, you can use whattomine.com as it was already mentioned by user above me.
Also I suggest you to use 1stminingrig.com for GPU reviews, overcloacks and a lot.

Does gpu mining require a lot of processing power?

Is it something I can install a card and set 1 processor and it won't dramatically slow down a computer.
Or is this something people dedicate a computer to?

I have an old dell desktop I don't use.
Was planning to modify it for mining and staking different tokens.
Not really, people dedicate a computer when they want to install and mine with two or more GPUs and in this situation use cheap CPU, cheap Ram but good motherboard.
That's why I suggested you to use website: 1stminingrig.com <-- here are great tips and suggestions for building GPU mining rigs.
For example here is list of recommended hardwares for 6X GTX 1080 mining rig: https://1stminingrig.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-mining-performance-review/
3032  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $10k Before June, Possible? on: April 08, 2019, 08:36:30 PM
It's truly hard to predict how the market moves. Everyone is saying we are up and I saw a recent news that Bitcoin is overbought, which could inadvertently turn to another market decline. Though some pundits have it that Bitcoin has bottomed out.

Can bitcoin reach $10k before June? I'm sure if it manages a rally to that new 2019 high, we could sustain it to the old ATH. If not people may despair again. What are your thoughts?

Don't think I can stand another pull back.  Sad
Possible?Just tell me what is impossible for this coin. Price went from 4k to 5k in 24 hour, also last year price has risen by 4K in some days. Oppositely price went from 6K to 3K very quickly. Well, there are a lot of insane moments for bitcoin so really hard to say whether it will rise or fall, it can reach 10K and even more in so short time, from april to june.
3033  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: short term, cheap btc cloud mining??? on: April 08, 2019, 07:05:21 PM
short term, cheap btc cloud mining???

I didn't understand what you are really asking but if you are looking for a short term cheap cloud mining which will bring good profit, i must say you are looking something is not real.
As I understood he is looking for cloud mining which promises as fast ROI as possible and hashrates are very cheap too, in reality he is looking for hyips.
OP at least see threads about genesis mining (I believe it will change your mind), see threads about hashocean and others. Nowdays when mining is least profitably, I highly doubt it's logical to look for cloud mining where miner and you, both of you have to profit, how? when even one man can't profit well nowdays.
3034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please DON'T pay any taxes on your crypto! on: April 08, 2019, 02:14:54 PM
if someday there are policy that makes all people in the world to pay a tax by using bitcoin and holding bitcoin i think we should do that, we should pay the taxes like the policy. and we should honest because i believe that bitcoin and blockchain system can't traceable and maybe it will missed tracking by system
It's possible to pay taxes in bitcoin if you live in Ohio, lately they accepted it. Bitcoin and blockchain technology isn't traceable? Well, don't you know that every transaction is recorded and stored on blockchain? Also OP is far from actual idea, you have to pay taxes anyway if you have crypto business like exchange or etc but if you own wallet at home, believe me no one will ask you to pay any tax.
3035  Economy / Gambling / Re: Simplest bitcoin lottery, totally free, no registration required, real-time on: April 08, 2019, 12:42:45 PM
Lately someone here had an idea of 0% house edge dice and was asking for donation, now this one is asking for donation. OP better to set house edge over 0% to get some profit, no one will donate to casino/lottery and to my mind it's even unethical when casino/lottery asks for it.
Now what can we say about demand: I think it's very, very low because there were similar ideas with enough funds but non of them succeed, well, overally demand is very low and can say the same about trust.
3036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Looking to get into GPU mining on: April 07, 2019, 08:04:39 PM
Hey there - It's been some years since mining was interesting to me.

I really only mined Bitcoin with a 5gh/s miner way back when 5gh/s was an awesome miner.
But I had always wanted to try out CPU mining.

Does someone have a good idea on what a first miner would be for someone just getting into it.
I hear a bunch about graphics cards - but i'm not really sure where to begin.

I'm looking to get a small miner going in the background that doesn't cost much just to start out.

Ideas? please share!

3037  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin could be used to pay for Bills,load and for travel in the Philippines on: April 07, 2019, 06:47:02 PM
But I wouldn't use Bitcoin to pay for anything that fiat can pay with unless it's very necessary, if I were you. Bitcoin is a provably scarce resource, don't waste it. HODL. Cool
Agree with you here on all accounts. 
Just because you are physically able to pay with BTC doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wisest idea.
If you like bitcoin as a payment way and it has low fees compared to any fiat payment method, then why not? Why isn't it wise? You can just exchange fiat into btc and pay this way. Bitcoin is a payment method too, not just an investment option as you look guys.
Also it's not a good idea to hodl bitcoin, money has to be in circulation, I don't like the fact when others are just sitting and their only care is to wait while price rises.
3038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A new look to KYC, from a customer's perspective. on: April 07, 2019, 06:01:08 PM
A lot of people were thinking about idea of Know Your Ceo. Of course non company which request us to send documents, will never ever agree the idea of making their ceo and team documents to be available. Seems they take care of their identity but don't give a shit of ours. This can't be achieved so easily, protests must be massive in real life in every country. It's not fair when some people can see everyone's KYC and we even don't know who the hell they are, it's very, very unfair.

Liked website, very different from others, it really creates atmosphere of RPG games and at the same time I want to mention that RPG character system seems to be really amazing, very wide different from others, the option of trading it is another great implementation too.
Btw is it possible to exchange coins/usd? For example if I am verified, can I deposit btc, play, convert and withdraw skrill?
Overally like idea behind your casino.
3040  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cryptonews Sources on: April 07, 2019, 03:42:02 PM
OP can start with these two news groups on telegram: @coinnewschannel and @cointelegraph. I started with them as a newbie and they were really fantastic. Later you can branch off to news sites on Twitter.
If cointelegraph's website isn't even good then why do you think their telegram group would any be better? I took a look at it and my guess was right it was only their channel to promote links of their news article. It's even worst for coinnewschannel's TG group as aside from news links they also have links from airdrops and other promotions which isn't a goo idea. OP would only be wasting his time here with their Clickbaity articles. I'll still go to r/Bitcoin or r/Cryptocurrency in Reddit to get my news, at least they provide direct links from media sources not related to crypto news directly.

I agree with Theb lot of news sites are promoting crap , but not concentrating on real news
Still can't understand what's wrong with cointelegraph, to my mind they are amazing and I personally like news they publish, they publish news asap from my experience, I usually read BC news.
OP I highly doubt any website will publish articles faster then cointelegraph, ccn and coindesk.
Like user above your post mentioned, reddit is a great place for what you need.
