ETH is probably the worst one. I'm not vested in ETH. I have no ETH. dooglus does not want the attention or legal issues surrounding Bitcoin in Canada. As well as holding less perceived value (exchange rate) as when it was BTC, he was holding millions of dollars worth.
If you have ETH, you can probably trade it for CLAMs. Or trade it for BTC to then trade it for CLAMs.
I don't see doge dice (another website he made) anymore, so I don't think he's going to make for any other coin.
Was meant to ask this long time ago, can anyone explain what's the actual difference from legal point of view between operating in CLAMs and operating in BTC/other altcoins?

... what if the average number of tx with proper fee exceeds the block limit, it's not guaranteed anymore that my transaction with proper fee, will be confirmed in 1-2 hours right?
Simple, all the transactions that didn't make it to the block will be labelled as 'spam'. Problem solved. But seriously, if demand exceeds block capacity, then there's no such thing as 'proper' fee.

Bitcoin transactions are the fastest global transactions ever created in the history of history. ...
Only if you completely ignore all the other cryptos, of which Bitcoin is one of the slowest. Most secure maybe, but definitely not the fastest.

You can look into localbitcoins referral program. But it`ll take a serious amount of volume to see anything, but regardless if you know if they will buy or sell on that platform then its a huge plus. https://localbitcoins.com/affiliate/Its the only legit non gambling I would be part of, etc. Thanks. Might be worth a try, but the " A visitor will be considered as your affiliate for 3 months" part puts me off a little bit.
Has anyone have any experience with Purse.io affiliate program (not "refer a friend", as it's a separate thing)? Commission seem a bit low (~ $0.30 for $100 purchase), but if there are no time limits, it could pay decently in the long run, if your affiliates become regulars.

Other than gambling sites, HYIP and cloud mining not any other give good referral commision but we all know hyip and cloud mining can turn out to be scam within few days of operation. ...
Nah, I wouldn't touch HYIPs or cloud-mining (even the legit ones) with a broomstick. So better you promote good stablished casino sites...
Not what I'm looking for. exchangers doesn't give good commision atleast commision is under 1% of total transaction in exchnages.
What? 1% of total transacted would be insanely high. No legit exchange could offer that much.

As in subject, does anyone know any tested, reliable BTC/crypto businesses (non-gambling) with worthy affiliate/referral programs?
Any exchanges, merchants etc?

I had occasional syncing issues with classic version. @jim618 - is this board still maintained/monitored, since Multibit was acquired by KeepKey? Are you still involved in development?

When do you think bitcoin will be able to use in buying things online? When? Since around 5-6 years ago. Bitcoin is being used for online purchases. If you mean mainstream adoption (whatever that means), I'd say it'll happen only if there's enough people who have some sort of income in bitcoins (either main or secondary).

As in topic. Anyone else curious how would the forum activity/post quality look like if all the signatures (paid and non-paid) were temporarily removed for a fixed period i.e. one week or better yet, one month? Announced in advance obviously.
It could give a pretty good info on how the signature campaigns affect the forum.

Bonus question, are there any stats available on number of members by rank?

... I would like it to be put towards opening another thread like this one. @ OP if you could please remake this thread for July 1st that would be gr8.
What a generous man! We had a game like this at the Polish bitcoin forum back in the days, with score system and leaderboard but no prizes. It was fun. Maybe we should do it here properly, as a regular forum game. I'm sure we could find sponsor(s) to provide small monthly prizes (for the top 3 people?) in exchange for an ad in the first post. Just an idea.

Thinking of adding to my growing portfolio of projects by creating a gambling site, I have no idea where it stands in the eyes of "the law" It is not a currency (IMO) and does not link to a bank account, so do I need a gambling license? how are so many sites popping up?
I have done some light investigation and it's such a grey area, many people seem to think one can just up a scrypt to a server, and presto!
Are there any UK lawyers around to help me draw up a plan? I mean real lawyers, someone I can physically see, not a PM saying I can write a legal plan for X coins lol.
do I need to be an actual business?
This is a serious question and plan, I would like to see it through.
thanks all.
You definitely need a licence to operate. I did email the Gambling Commission back in the days with the same question and that's what they told me. Basically they said money and money equivalents are treated the same way. But don't necessarily give up on the idea, fully regulated UK casino could be pretty appealing, as the winners could enjoy tax free winnings. So it's a question whether you could earn enough to cover the cost of licence.

So,
1) If they hacked into my machine and stole the private key; (illegal) 2) If they sniped the pk while snooping on a public access connection; (illegal) 3) If they brute forced the private key into existence; (not illegal) 4) If they snapped a shot of my private key qr code over my shoulder at an ATM. (not illegal)
What if I claimed an address on the block chain with a signature and 3 or 4 happened? Would I have a case then?
Pretty much correct. I have my doubts whether 4 couldn't be classed as illegal though. Most of definitions of 'hacking' in criminal law describe 'anauthorised access' and that could fall under that definition (similar to stealing your credit card details). But in any case, if you know the person who got your bitcoins, you could try to get it back by starting civil lawsuit against that person.

... For a cheap solar energy solution, how about this: Take a bunch of desert. Cover it in a layer of insulator, then (on top) metal, black paint, water, and glass. When the Sun comes up, it will heat the paint very quickly (~20 – 100 C / hr.), causing the water to become high-pressure steam. With double-paned glass and good insulation, the heat will be trapped well enough for steam to reach many hundred degrees C. That steam can then run an old-fashioned steam turbine. ...
But the temperature during the night can fall very low afaik. Meaning large amount of water (thick layer) would never heat up properly during the day, making the entire project inefficient. How about switching to PoS or PoS hybrid instead?

He didn't move anything, used some BS emotional excuses (something like "sorry, I thought I could do it but I can't" etc). There was shitload of news coverage about it in both bitcoin and mainstream media, but, since he didn't deliver, the story died quickly.

China’s Bitcoin Buying Bingehttp://www.pymnts.com/news/bitcoin-tracker/2016/china-bitcoin-buying-binge/In a buying spree that began on Friday (May 27) and carried on through the four days since, Chinese investors managed to push the price of bitcoin up by 16 percent. As of the time this story was written, the price of an individual bitcoin was pushing $550.
All in, bitcoin has added $1.2 billion to its market cap, according to data from blockchain.info. Bitcoin is still trading well below its high point of a little over $1,100.
The bitcoin burst comes as Chinese investors are looking for new and more productive asset classes. Similar booms have recently been observed in equities, bonds and commodities trading — all with an accompanying deflation once the roving gang of investors moves on to the next big thing. The recent devaluation of the yuan has also motivated some Chinese consumers to seek bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation. ...
