accepting orders today and tomorrow.
Hey CaptainLance. I hope you are still accepting orders.
Do you have any samples of your HTML banners? Are they interactive (clickable, mouse hover and animated)? Looking for the ones that are used for advertising on this forum.

Edit: Check PM. I have sent you more details over there.

So even PayPal now knows how good crypto is ?? That's amazing news  Cheesy honestly I've been waiting for this day, if this makes strong headlines it can make Bitcoin surge higher in value, I can't wait for new bullrun season to start
Not really, Paypal will just allow users to buy bitcoin using paypal. They probably with partner up with some crypto firm.
They are doing this not because they think "crypto currencies are really good". They are doing this to generate revenue through the fees that they will be taking from the users when they purchase through paypal.
And if paypal is going to make a online crypto wallet, that is going to be a wallet that no one should use. Paypal likes to freeze your funds.
3103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Information about mobile wallet pls on: June 23, 2020, 07:06:34 PM
I hope it is for temporarily keeping small amount of coins to use on the go. If you are planing for using your phone as a long term storage, its not going to be a good idea.
Anyway, be extra careful when installing and downloading those wallets suggested by users. Check their reviews and see what "real" people have to say.
If you are looking for long term storing, go for hardware wallets.
3104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying food or groceries with Bitcoin on: June 23, 2020, 06:06:44 PM
A lot of things are going to happen to people in real life but bitcoin is only used for investing I don't think it will be possible to buy food or groceries with Bitcoin Bitcoin is not yet supported by illegal governments in many countries so buying and selling with Bitcoin will take a long time. Bitcoin is a very popular currency but it will take a long time to break the Fiat currency Therefore it is not possible to buy food without the support of the whole world.
What is an illegal government? I think you meant corrupted government.
This is bitcoin. Your government can't stop you from using it to buy your groceries. As far as I am aware, only few countries put a ban on the usage of crypto currencies. So unfortunately, they cannot set up a physical or online shop that accepts bitcoin. But you still can do it indirectly. How about buying giftcards with your bitcoin and use it to purchase things off the internet?
3105  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Gift cards to bitcoin or Ethereum on: June 20, 2020, 03:45:29 PM
Hi friends, do you guys know any reliable website or platform that I can trade gift cards for Bitcoin ? Please don't mention paxful, I lot few cards on that website, thanks
Like the other user suggested, you can try the Digital Goods section on this forum. Use an escrow, but still selling gift card is a bit complicated. Like, what if the user claims that the card isn't working after redeeming it or it doesn't really works? There is no way to proof either anyone of you guys are saying the truth, hence the escrow can't do much over here and just be lost. The best way to trade over here is to build a reputation first. Try trading with trusted users over here. Another way might be make him redeem the code through team viewer or something (sounds absurd, i know lol).
You can always set up those AutoShops, but most people don't trust them.
3106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A new survey shows that UKs gambling addiction is getting worst day by day. on: June 20, 2020, 03:18:32 PM
Not sure who to blame over here. But if the problem is this serious, certain steps can be taken. Gambling laws can be made strict. Probably they can add more tax on gambling which will eventually discourage people from gambling. Another way is to run various campaigns and make people aware of the problems created due to gambling addiction and let them know the benefits of gambling responsibly.
3107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Police Arrest on: June 20, 2020, 01:47:30 PM
Information reaching out by a local news outlet RNS, state that a former chief of Russia post local branch has been arrested by the Russia police on suspicion of running a crypto mining farm inside the office for almost six months. During the period of his mining the federal service of Starvropol territory has spent about 30,000 Russia rubles.

If you're to be the judge, how will you handle this issue of abuse of power?
Every company has rules and policies that you must follow. Legal steps can be taken in that case. Some of those policies are that you can use (or misuse) company resources for own benefit ( but causing no benefit to company and only financial loss). They can always sue you for using their resource.
I were to be the judge, I would find him guilty (if it can be proven he was actually abusing power) and punish him accordingly.
3108  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Currency Value Falls During Recession? on: June 19, 2020, 07:41:14 PM
You will never know if the value is going to fall or not, but highly likely it will fall. If a country is going to recession, people will likely invest on that country. The prices will start to rise and inflation might start taking place. When inflation takes place, other countries will stop buying from the country suffering from inflation due to high pricing. Thus, the value of the coin will start falling.
I get your point, "bigger currencies strive better". From another perspective, I think the purchasing power of a currency rises during a recession as prices of most goods and services are likely to fall during a recession.
You are saying a deflation takes place? Not really. There is no guarantee that inflation will fall during recession. You are probably forgetting about stagflation. Again, what if the country responds to the recession through printing money? It all depends on the policies taken by the government.
3109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is More Popular Than Traditional Banks on: June 19, 2020, 07:30:24 PM
According to the cyber media Tokenist, based on the results of their survey not long ago. The survey involved 4,852 respondents from 17 countries. According to the survey the number of people who trust Bitcoin more than large banks, increased by 29 percent in the last three years. The survey also showed differences in the generation's views about Bitcoin and traditional banks. 51 percent of millennials trust Bitcoin more than traditional banks.
So the conclusion came based on only 4,852 respondents? I guess the user base which responded weren't quite diverse.
I would say more people know about banks and how they work when compared to bitcoin. It is going to be a total lie when you say bitcoin is more popular than traditional banking. If bitcoin was indeed more popular, everyone would know about and everyone would use it. They would prefer bitcoin  over fiat. After all, there is no one stopping them from using it.
3110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this considered cheating? or Ilegal? on: June 19, 2020, 07:27:17 PM
Okay, the issue happened with PrimeDice, it is very popular, The amount I lost is actually small it's like 0.4BTC and 2ETH... But here are the details of the issue

This is the server seed and the hashed server seed of my bets
-snip-

Their provably fair statement said they were using SHA512 to hash the server seed.
-snip-

This is the hashed result using a SHA512 calculator
-snip-
As you can see the hash doesn't match... I contacted the support demanding an explanation, this is what they answered:
-snip-

Basically they told me it was just a typo issue, they gave me a $5 bonus "for letting them know about the mistake". I just don't understand how they claim to be the #1 Bitcoin gambling site and making these kinds of mistakes in such an important section of their website... That's shady for me, and I definitely will never gamble there again.
I guess that was an honest typo, but really? Only $5 as a compensation? That is a big typo to be honest. People can claim that the hashes they were provided were totally invalid. and can probably even sue them. What is more funny is that almost 24 hours have crossed and they still haven't fixed the typo! They are not even taking this typo seriously lol.

Indeed. He should tell the name of the site, so we could help him to make some valid proof that the gambling site he assume that is cheating is true. Instead of calling a lawyer first, he should definitely ask help from other people to make a valid evidence, so that his accusations would not be too embarrassing.

3111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Mobile Gaming on: June 19, 2020, 07:08:34 PM
Quite hard to understand what you are trying to say, but based on some of the replied I guess you are comparing Mobile gambling with bitcoin and PC gaming with Bank. I mean,you are trying to say is both will exist and will be used in parallel. Yeah, maybe but in the future. It is true bitcoin can be used in comfort from any place, but is it totally ready?
Mobile gaming and PC gaming is actually working in harmony. You can now place computer games on your phone through different platform like stadia or geforce now. I guess we can also expect banks and cryptocurrencies to integrate. But just one problem, banks are centralized and coins like bitcoin are decentralized.
3112  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you make a trade or investment decision? on: June 19, 2020, 06:36:40 PM
How do you make a trade or investment decision? Do you read news and check the price updates of your Coin? How do you do this? How do you get real time crypto news, social media updates and price alerts? If there's any 1-stop place to get all in real-time for free would you like to join?


Not much of a trader, but yeah before investing I do some proper research.
I mean trading or investing, you will have to go through the news and check the updates of the coin. I use this forum and some well known crypto news portals (those which are globally top). I wouldn't say updates from the social media should be trusted. You might receive false information. Even if you do update yourself through the social media, make sure you verify the news and the sources. I wouldn't join "one" place which will be giving me all information. Multiple source is always good.
3113  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the cause of economy rise and fall. on: June 19, 2020, 06:13:15 PM
Some countries economy are constant and some economy rise and fall, from my understanding I suggest that is because of government,and population of the country. What is your suggestion
This is quite a broad topic and you will need a lot of prior knowledge about how basic economics work.
No economy in the world is constant. The economy falls and rises,  but in the long run, every country expects to have a constant growth of the economy.
The economy can rise or fall due to various reason. A countries economy can start falling if a bad monetary or  fiscal policy takes place. Lets say the central bank decided to increase the interest rate (monetary policy) for any reason without proper analyzing the other parallel outcome. We will see that people started taking less loans from the bank, and those that have cash started to deposit more money to the bank. This will cause the aggregate demand to fall (due to people willing to spend less and save more), thus less production and then eventually fall of GDP (this is just an example. Usually monetary policies help to recover from downfall, but bad decisions have consequences). Now lets say a war is going on and the government decided to spend most of everything in military (fiscal policy), the countries economy will eventually fall.
Hope you now you understand how this works.
3114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When the US stock market goes down Bitcoin goes down on: June 18, 2020, 07:34:49 PM
Today, the US stock future goes down near 900 points then the bitcoin prices goes down too.  It happened the same in March 2020 when the US stock market goes down then Bitcoin goes down $4500.  Any one knows the psychology or the mood of the trader?  Thanks.
The price hasn't dropped much when compared to the price of stock. Usually people expect the opposite to happen (and I think the opposite thing does happen). When the stock starts to fall, people starts withdrawing their investment and then starts investing on bitcoin causing the price of bitcoin to increase.
This year was a bit exceptional though. The stock and the price of BTC followed, and this was due to people panicking.
3115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Top 5 most profitable coins of this year on: June 18, 2020, 07:28:45 PM
I hope people don't just start investing and jumping into those coins after seeing those numbers. Sadly, most of them will and then start crying when the price starts to fall slightly.
Never heard of any of those coins except Tezos. I did buy few tezos but sold them immediately without making much of a profit. It is still half way 2020, we can't be calling them the most profitable coin of the year yet. Sudden drop of the price won't surprise me at all.
3116  Economy / Economics / Re: Covid-19 effect on your country's economy!!! on: June 18, 2020, 07:20:00 PM
There are many countries in the world with governments who are trying to reject the notion that they are doing a bad job. Everyone you asked in the governments (doesn't matter which country) will tell you that they did a great job, better than any other nation. That is how you become a politician, the moment you start to question yourself and your ideas that means you are done, you have to be insisting on what you are doing is right and should convince yourself before anyone else, even if it is wrong you should believe in it no matter what.

I have been involved with politics in my life and I can tell you that no politician I have met has ever been wrong in their entire life, they have always been right no matter how silly their ideas sounds because that is how you gain votes from idiots and idiots out populate smart people by a big margin.
I completely agree with you. Most of the countries think they are doing a really good job, but little do they know how bad they are at it.
Like look at the US. The government itself isn't taking the issue seriously, let alone the people. I don't know if most of the people over here are dumb or just don't care at all. Hundreds of people are dying every day and thousands getting infected and the government is busy blaming China and acting all childish.
3117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Coinmarketcap's new feature - Chat on: June 18, 2020, 06:20:22 PM
Not sure why everyone is saying "impressive" or "good job". Like I mean, is this going to really helpful? If the chat isn't going to be moderated, it is going to be filled with full of trolls, spammers and scammers.
I doubt anyone will be using the chat features. Highly likely it will be used for shilling shitcoins. I don't see any need for the chat option over there.
3118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What future is expected for new altcoins? on: June 18, 2020, 06:12:25 PM
Actually, most of the Altcoins have the same features the only difference was their total supply and I guess there is no point in having new altcoins we have enough but it can be a utility token of decent projects. I am seeing new and existing projects will adopt blockchain technology in the future and the use of most altcoins is just the utility token of those great companies and projects. Of course, each project will compete to each other adding more features to their altcoins.
All altcoins aren't the same. The ones you are talking about are probably those shitty clone coins. Yeah, the market is filled with shit loads of clone coins. Those coins don't have any new feature that we can benefit from. They are there in the market just to die a slow death.
I would say it is totally wrong to say "there is no point in having new altcoins". The good ones (if any ever pops up) will bring some development in the crypto world as a whole.
3119  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Earn and save in Satoshi on: June 18, 2020, 05:44:00 PM
So many misleading information over here. Bitcoin is not a wealth creator. It won't be "creating" any wealth for you. You will have to earn your self. You shouldn't be luring people into investing on bitcoin with the false of hope of making money. Those people who get baited and loses money starts to say "bitcoin is all scam".
Instead try to teach them what bitcoin is and why it far superior than fiat currency. You should also teach them about the cons and current availing problem, so they always remain prepared.
I don't think you meant any of those. I assume English isn't your native language?
3120  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ETH better than BTC for payment? on: June 18, 2020, 05:31:01 PM
I didn't use ETH that much after getting paid mainly with BTC, perhaps one or two times in the last year.
I guess the network effect is still the main factor in choosing between BTC and ETH. If you got paid by BTC, you would be using BTC. In fact, I still use BTC even though it has higher fees than ETH. If the BTC transaction fee is still manageable, I don't have the reason to use ETH for payment.
You probably just hold them, that is a reason why it doesn't matter to you. Have you tried using BTC when the network is on heavy load? This usually happens during rise of the price of BTC. The fee during that time is totally unbearable to make smaller transaction. Like, if you want to get a quick confirmation you will have to be paying a lot of fee.
If you pay less, your transaction is going to take hours to confirm. That is when people prefer to use some other altcoins like LTC or ETH.
