3162  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin dropped to $1, what you do? on: August 02, 2016, 02:06:19 PM
Buy $100 Bitcoins, just in case

Probably be a millionaire, because I'm sure Bitcoin would rebound sooner or later
You are right to a certain point. Because when the price was 1$ earlier people said that its just another waste current, but then ir proved all of those people wrong and jumped out of the box. So now also it can go to a very high value when it reaches 1$ because we never know when somethign like bitcoins can rise.

we all wish that only
but the problem is that when the price is at $## you can't predict the future so it doesn't matter if it is $1 or it is $602 the situation is the same, but those who are wise enough to make an investment while bitcoin is low will always win.
just like buying at $200 last year and then at $440 couple months ago and possible buying at $600 now

People should that bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous. They must be very careful when use bitcoin to keep their anonymity.

That's true that bitcoin mixer service can help keep your anonymity, but what if they keep your transaction or turned to be scam?
For normal people, i think one-time address should be good enough.
If you use a trusted mixer, the chances that the mixer turns into a scam is small but still there.
Personally, I only use one wallet, and it works perfectly fine. I just use Bitcoin normally, and I only occasionally use mixing when it's absolutely necessary.

The largest mixers have been running for years, and there's a low chance one will suddenly close at the exact time someone decides to mix his coins through it. There is more profit to be made from running a mixer for a year than suddenly closing and scamming whoever was mixing their coins through it for a duration of six Bitcoin confirmations.

Using smaller mixers is risky because there's less profits from them for the owners.

sometimes being paranoid is not a bad thing, especially when your hard earned money is involved. you can send your bitcoins to the mixer in a couple of batches instead of all at once, this way you reduce the risk of what he mentioned, also the fees are percentage of what you send so it doesn't matter.
also this way it can add to your anonymity because you will receive them out on the other side with bigger intervals.

wow that is really impressive, congratulations. you make my want to bet more on sports from now on, although i don't personally have a good track record in sports betting but i still find it better than other games sometimes. or at least it is a way to diversify Smiley
3165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto trading or gambling on: August 01, 2016, 04:12:34 AM
What much profitable (less unprofitable). With same bankroll, crypto trading (ICO and other) or gambling?
I think crypto trading, but i'm never did it regular, only hold some btc. Start not so long ago and  buy augur on presale and not much other coins. And here now it seems to me, that the odds better than odds on bets or poker


both of them can be very profitable indeed.
but generally speaking you have a better chance in making a profit from trading than you have in gambling.
although you shouldn't forget that trading requires some good skills that not everybody posses so just going into trading will not lead to profit but gambling can lead to profit if you are lucky even if you don't have any skills.

Would you be happy repeatedly flipping a coin with an opponent to gamble?

by "with an opponent" if you mean PvP then yes, because that is the real 50/50 chance with none of us having the edge, unlike when playing against the house which has the edge.

actually i think this is why the PvP type dice game was somewhat the favorite of some people back in the days when PD let it happen.

3168  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin transactions - Slow OR Fast on: July 31, 2016, 01:28:00 PM
The transaction speed depends on the amount and the network fees paid for that...If the amount is high and the fees are less, it may take up to 30 minutes.

But I have exchanged a very small amount from an exchanger which is less than $20 and the transaction was instant. Did not take any time to get confirmed. So I guess the appropriate fees should be paid to the network.

bitcoin transaction times are fast, what you are thinking is the confirmation time. and since OP is asking about merchants using bitcoin in his question ["will be accepted in local stores, shops etc"] in this case the transaction time is the only important thing and that is fast enough for being accepted by these vendors.
3169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Carry empty paper bitcoin wallets with you on: July 26, 2016, 02:15:44 PM
Explained a bit and gave him 2mBTC. 

Best way to spread bitcoin, gave small amounts to people to try to use it. Its fastest learning way.

giving it to a shop like OP is a good idea but walking around giving "people" to use bitcoin is not a good idea because after you give them free bitcoin the first thing they are going to do is taking out their phone and search "where can i sell bitcoin" and "bitcoin price" then dump it for fiat.
3170  Economy / Speculation / Re: After a bull run, on: July 26, 2016, 02:08:21 PM
a bear run must start.

What goes up, must come down.

Have you not noticed the steady downward march since we hit 790 a few weeks ago?

Do not get trapped, there's no hope of price rise, at least not until November/December. Until then, only a death march towards $450.

The best strategy would be, to short the market. You can still profit, only if you sell now and buy back later.

i as a non-English-speaker now know what steady downward march means thanks to you.

apparently in your city people call a drop from 780 to 650 in 2-3 days and then staying at $650 +20 -20 for more than 30 days (a near flat line) means a steady downward march.

When will these greedy idiots come to realize the days of "going to the moon" is long over?

This ain't no 2013 any more. Anybody who's ever be interested in cryptocurrency has now heard of Bitcoin. The growth in transactions and the wallet numbers are due to the same users. Without brand new bag-holders, Bitcoin is bound to stay at 400 +/- 20 for a long time, like years and decades.

Why should anyone take idiots like you seriously?

exactly.
as if we can't open a price chart and see things for ourselves Cheesy
3171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do any people gamble under the age of 18? on: July 26, 2016, 02:00:24 PM
I am sure that kida are most time gambling in real life.My friends under 18 years gamble in real life casinos,real life machines,but they more bet online but they also bet in real life.
I think when you want to gamble at the casino offline. a guard or security guard will ask your age if you look young. maybe you will need some of proving such as ID cards. because the rules that gambling should have a lifespan of over 18 years. I do not really care if you have a lifespan of 18 years and play at online gambling


apparently you have never heard about fake IDs Cheesy
but yeah all of these places have age restrictions and check for ID but that is only because they will get into trouble if they don't check. and since online gambling especially with bitcoin is not regulated yet so they don't have these rules and in fact they don't care how old you are as long as you play there.
3172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Everyone looses in the long run on: July 26, 2016, 01:55:55 PM
Let's be honest. Gambling should only be considered for entertainment purposes only. If you are in need of quick cash, doing hard dirty work is more often than not better than hitting up the casino sites. I see way too many people in this section try to justify their gambling habits by saying they have strategies to always win. Others on this forum will go as far as to say that they are professional gamblers, and they always win. You're fooling no one and you look stupid.

All the gambling addicts I knew in real life who claimed to win from casinos all the time had serious mental issues. I went gambling with that guy once, and he ended up blaming me for him loosing at Pai Gow poker, a game that's 100% chance.

And just to let you guys know, ALL the casinos in my jurisdiction say the same things in public advertising campaigns. So far, my sig campaign manager has not PM'ed me telling me to quit bashing gambling. Nobody wins gambling, so lets stop pretending anyone here makes a living gambling online.

there are few guys that won a lot because of their luck, but there are much more people that lost everything, i think that only silly people gambles because everyone loses

but it is also possible to make some profit from gambling, it is not always losing. you just have to know how much to risk and how much you can lose before you end up with nothing.

if you design your strategy based on these things you can make a profit from gambling. also there are some games like poker or betting on sports that need skills, so if you are a professional poker player you can indeed make profit.
3173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What about the idea of a bitcoin shop in big cities? on: July 26, 2016, 01:50:47 PM
Hey Guys,

what would be your opinion if there would been Bitcoin shops in big cities like London, Berlin or Paris (also smaller cities).
So you could go inside the shop and buy or sell Bitcoin for a good price.

I think it would be an good (and an advantage) idea because more people would use Bitcoin so the price would rise up and the people who are owning Bitcoins at the moment would have more money in Bitcoins. Wink

Best regards,

Patrick Smiley

what would be the benefit of using such shop instead of a regular online exchange service? and what do you mean by a good price? is it lower than market price? then by how much?
also what kind of payments are you going to have?

every one of these questions are important to find a good answer for.
first of all you can't really sell bitcoin for lower than market price because you will go bankrupt. so there is no benefit there.
if you are going to accept credit cards, .... then what is the point of the shot, i can already do that while sitting on my ass at home behind my desk.

the only good thing that comes to my mind is, if you accept cash only for selling bitcoin and for that there is already locanbitcoins that you can buy anonymously from an individual.
3174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What special things can you do with your BTC addresses? on: July 26, 2016, 01:44:01 PM
It seems the BTC addresses are unending and you generate 200 addresses per year. Is there anyway to profit from that? Anything at all?
No, you don't earn for generating bitcoin addresses, that would be easy money right.
It could be that someone sends btc to your address by accident, but that doesn't happen alot, so basically the answer is no.

i think OP is talking about Bitcoin Vanity Address generation but he doesn't know how to ask his question properly. i assume this since he said 200 addresses per year because there is no limit for creating bitcoin address and you can make hundreds of random (normally with a wallet) every hour until you get tired.

and if he means that, i have to say there is no much profit in doing that because of lack of trust and especially because there are others who are doing it with some reputation built up, but it is still not safe .
3175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth Classic opened the way for Bitcoin Classic fork on: July 25, 2016, 12:47:39 PM
if $ETH had a successful fork, maybe
but it already is project FAIL, consensus my ass

besides $ETH was the we must fork crowd BTC, fuck it will make our own coin, and fork it too!

odds are very low of getting support now for another round of 'lets fork BTC'; and the consequences of do it that very evident.

Why do you think ETH didn't have a successful fork? Did you expect 100% of users to go with the fork? Not going to happen. There was a successful fork and there are two coins now: one is more idealistic, Classic... the other one is perhaps more... flexible. It was a total success, users can now choose which of them is more dear to their own vision of the world. Choice is good. Forking is awesome and should be celebrated.

since we are not living in a perfect world 100% will never be reached but there should be a good percentage and the rest who disagreed should also be brought on board. that is why they keep talking about Consensus in bitcoin, because if you rush into changing things without it you get things like this; you piss a lot of the users off and then you either are left with two different chains and a divided community or a dead coin.
3176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Ethereum on: July 25, 2016, 12:38:23 PM
Bitcoin brought us Blockchains, but Blockchains brought us Ethereum.

in other words, bitcoin is the innovation and everything else are just copycats. blockchain didn't bring us Ethereum, a greedy person looking to get rich with the help of rich whales and some services like poloniex brought us ethereum

Quote
Ethereum is growing much faster then Bitcoin and designing new uses for Blockchain technology.

being pumped is not the same as growing.

Quote
Although both will most likely continue to be used in the future, who will be the biggest?

nothing is sure for the future. but i seriously doubt that a coin like ethereum which is becoming more and more centralized and has only been pump and dumped so far can survive for long.

Quote
And what else may lay around the corner for Blockchain technology?

the blockchain technology will exist forever and will be perfected as we go forward even if btc, eth, .... cease to exist.
3177  Economy / Gambling / Re: Give me site gambling. on: July 25, 2016, 12:31:00 PM
I have tried all of ur site one by one of gambling site,looks like nice and some site is complete of game,and some is dice only (one of favorite game),but any some site to heavy opened (long open site)

what do you mean some of them are heavy opened?

the suggestions i see above are fast sites. but since you like dice games, try out my signature https://safedice.com/ it loads up pretty fast and the site is not much graphic heavy (not so much java,... usage) so it may load up faster for you.
3178  Economy / Gambling / Re: is freebitco.in or freedogeco.in worth my time? on: July 25, 2016, 12:26:09 PM
I recently called against a user playing there and earning while gambling the coins he earns.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1564368.0;topicseen

They said its okay to play there even if the faucet is small and the house edge is sky rocketing. Are they right?

From my personal opinion both are just crap because we have no way to verify the bet result there, it is very hard to know how they generate the roll result so if you're interested to play with faucet amount than it is okay to play there, but I think it is just waste of time to give try to them.

i used them a long time ago back when i was a newbie and they had provably fair system back then and you could check your rolls, and in fact i learned about provably fair system there for the first time.

but it is not about that, they are a faucet and like any other faucet spending time to claim from them is wasting time because of the low payment and even gambling is not gonna help you increase that tiny amount.
3179  Economy / Speculation / Re: What Bitcoin will be worth in July 2017 ? on: July 25, 2016, 12:20:51 PM
my vote goes to above $1000 for the July of 2017.
it is one year from now and with the growth that bitcoin had in the past up until this point and also with considering the fact that this growth has not slowed down over all (looking at the long term) i expect bitcoin to grow big enough to be worth above $800 at least by the end of this year and go to $1000+ in the next year.

although there is always also the possibility of another big bubble in which case we can expect $2000 but that will not stay.
3180  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: An Article Claims BIG Investors Now Buy the Bulk of BTC on: July 25, 2016, 12:07:22 PM
bitcoin is at a very good place right now and i am not surprised to see big investors show interest in it. with the halving done and the price being stable, everything is getting ready for another huge rise just like the last time halving happened, and i doubt that any good investor would want to lose this opportunity to make a huge amount of money.
