OK Thanks!,  So bitstamp does not have a daily limit?

I dont know. I have never seen any statement that there are limits, but I also dont trade 100k worth of coins.

Is this even possible?

Why not? Transfer it to your favorite exchange, buy bitcoin, done.

You might influence the price slightly (~0.5% on bitstamp).

The amounts escrowed are rarely enough to cover max possible expenditure
The times I've escrowed a campaign I've always made sure that I had more than enough to pay out every single person (even if they hit the maximum amount). If other escrow agents don't do that, it's their mistake and users shouldn't accept that. I know I wouldn't.

But that's easy to bypass. Campaign manager could announce that there are only 10 open spots, escrow sufficient amount, but after a week they could extend to 20-30 spots. Same goes with increase in rates, delayed payments, payments to site accounts etc. And if you act as an escrow, there's not much you can do. You can't really demand more money (unless you have the detailed escrow agreement).

Sure you can. You can resign from the position due to the changed circumstances.

The fact that you are willing to delete the whole thread because of a PM says something..
If you're going to accuse sites & people of scamming, at least make sure it get some proof first other wise you ruin someone's reputation for nothing.

After the backlash here I am not surprised that OP is discouraged to continue with their plan to educated the fools in this section.

Hey what about coinminers.biz, they too scammers or soon to scam? Let us know Asap

The company is officially registered in GB in 2015. Detailed information about the company can be found at https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09909733

Company has "GBP 1" not much to claim if they run.

Actually, Financial reports means COMPLETE transparency of our activities. We have proven to everyone using BTCSprout that we do utilize invested funds to make profit.

Ohk it may be seen as full transperancy but user may not know whether it is real or not. Like suppose i have a PONZI and want to keep it running i can post some false stats or details to lure in some more and new investors. Thats why i raised the point.
Can you stop beating around the bush here?

All of the statistics raised in our financial reports can be verified simply by looking at our 2 main addresses (our deposit address and our storage address)
It's not possible for anything on that report to be fake...Have you even LOOKED at the financial report yet?

No one questions that you have the coins you claim you have. The question is how you increase them. Is it just coins invested by others or do you actually have a profitable business. Your reports dont show that and it should be shown by a neutral 3rd party anyway.
3347  Local / Anfänger und Hilfe / Re: How can one buy and sell bitcoins using different currencies? USD > BTC > EUR on: January 19, 2016, 09:28:25 AM
Moin alle! Ich brauechte Hilfe, und versuche es kurz und knapp zu machen Smiley

Kann man ein USD und EUR wallet haben? Ich muss BTC mit USD kaufen und dann wieder an mich selbst in EUR verkaufen koennen. (Ja ich habe beide ein US und EUR Bank Konto Smiley


Would be super glad for clarity! Coinbase already wrote me that I can't have both a USD and EUR wallet, but I don't understand how that can be - we should be able to exchange BTC to any other currencies we want right? Regardless of which currency we use to first buy the bitcoins.

Die kurze Antwort ist: Nein, Du hast immer eine Bitcoin Wallet.

Du kannst die Bitcoin zwar in jede beliebige Währung wechseln, aber der Wechsel findet nicht innerhalb deiner Wallet statt. Viele Wallets und Wallet Services zeigen dir zwar den aktuellen Wechselkurs in einer beliebigen Währung an, das heißt aber ja nicht das Du diese Währung in deiner Wallet hast. Coinbase ist eine Börse und bietet einen Wallet Service gleichzeitig. Was du vemutlich suchst ist eine Börse die EUR/BTC und USD/BTC Handel anbietet. Spontan fällt mir da nur btc-e[1] ein.

So is this another warning that we should avoid sites paying improbable rates of interest? Do they ever repay the capital invested?

Its just my assumption based on a few issues people reported recently and the tags on blockchain.info. Most ponzis run on bad software anyway, because they assume a "sending address". Thats not given on the protocol level and makes them impossible to work with shared wallets. I further assume that most running these ponzis do not have the knowledge to have actually written the software themselves, but rather buy pre made scripts. If such a script was sold that works on 0-conf transactions, these long chains can easily develop due to the high amount of low payment TX needed to keep the ponzi going. It might even be an attack against the ponzi itself, by exploiting the fact that the script does not require a confirmation.

According to the seclog there was no password change or reset.

Changes by admins aren't logged there.

Thanks for the confirmation, rating removed.
3350  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: RBF transactions to be enabled at the next core update on: January 19, 2016, 08:36:03 AM
-snip-
Maybe I have misspoke in some way due to my lack of technical understanding of RBF. I guess the conflicting transaction would also have RBF enabled, allowing it to be accepted by the nodes.

By enabling RBF you would essentially announce "this can be double spend", which would significantly reduce your chance to use this maliciously.

-snip-
Today when someone buys a cup of coffee from Starbucks with their credit card, it is Starbucks that bears the costs of accepting the Credit Card. I don't see why it should be any different with Bitcoin, so Starbucks could receive a payment with a very low/no fee and then could use a CPFP transaction with a sufficiently high fee to get both transactions to confirm.

CPFP is still possible. RBF does not change this.

Surely if you want to limit bandwidth, just don't run the core all the time.

A build in limiter is coming with 0.12.

3354  Other / MultiBit / Re: treat me as a newbie for this, idk but, question about HD and the UI on: January 19, 2016, 07:28:14 AM
So, you wanted to drop the "Classic" for HD eh? with not a real easy path to "upgrade".. so following this "upgrade" path requires me to basically create a new wallet with HD and dump all coins from the "Classic" to it..

correct.

simple question, where the hell do you see the new wallet address in HD? I've clicked and flipped windows and boxes within this program to find a proper Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V to add in a "send to" address for classic.

Click the "request" button under "payment" (the actual words might differ, doing this from memory)

since HD rotates addresses, looks like this makes it had to maintain a single public address/vanity address?

You cant import keys, so you cant have a vanity address with Multibit HD at all. Address reuse is bad practice, so it is not encouraged with HD either. You can however safe the first address you get and reuse it.

..and yes, I'm one of them "why change? whats wrong with Classic?" trying to change over.. I don't want to go down that path in here, there is already enough about it, just be happy that I'm willing to move over..

If its such a big deal stay with classic. It still gets crucial updates.
3355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Running latest core but node doesn't show up on node check on: January 19, 2016, 06:51:43 AM
I tried everything above included setting up the computer with a static IP, port forwarding in my router, turning off the firewalls, all the advice offered on the subject at at bitcoin.org, and finally even setting up the computer running core as a DMZ host in the router. After 45 minutes of running core I still only get 8 connection, all outgoing, 0 incoming. And, when I go to the http://www.lurkmore.com/mining/port8333/index.php I'm still told that port 8333 is not open.

All seems to point to my ISP blocking.

Is there any way to confirm if it's being caused by the ISP blocking port 8333?

Does anyone else have TWC as an ISP and running a full node?

I dont, but I have a cable ISP as well. In order to forward my port I had to call them and request a IPv4 address. Apparently they do carrier grade nat over IPv6 if you dont do that. Might be similar for you.

Thank you, Theymos.

This restored some faith I still have on you and on this forum.
Good for ya. Sent a PM to shorena, who should now remove the neg tag from the account

According to the seclog there was no password change or reset.
3357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: unconfirmed transactions in blockchain.info on: January 18, 2016, 08:56:32 PM
so to wait till they disappear from the list and this may take a few days. till that time I cant make any transaction it will be stuck again. and make it worst I think

the issues started after this received payment and is unconfirmed too

dc5ca8d23f96e5c3faab5c2c88dff56686be484ffa5b5889f5d84c22e082ec4e

You may actually find you have less coins than you had before, because of said chain. Did you by any chance receive coins from a ponzi (or "coin doubler") recently? There have been a few issues with one of those lately. Looks like they have bad software handling the payouts. Whether or not this is intentionally I cant tell, but I fits in my worldview of ponzi operators.

3359  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What do you do with wallets containing dust? on: January 18, 2016, 08:06:59 PM
How do you use them as fees? You can't manually build pooled payments without fee overhead.

Since nobody mines no-fee transactions they are worthless..

You use the small input as fee and transfer the other input as if you didnt pay a fee. E.g. you can use an input of 1.4789 BTC and an input of 0.00004783 btc. You use both in a single transaction to create an output for 1.4789 BTC, since the rest is the fee you paid a 4783 satoshi fee. Technically you cant tell which input was used for the fee, but I dont think it matters.
