3521  Economy / Economics / Re: Bank Crisis Hits India, Many Accounts Wiped Out, People Left With Nothing on: October 09, 2019, 04:58:05 PM
In overall people who are in government, have great wage, great apartments and what's the main subject is that they have huge influence on everything and to be fair rules that are written in overall on people, are sometimes ignored on them because of their status and connections.
So in any way there is no crisis for them, they even make money from it.
I just wanted to say that and make clear that they do nothing for our wealth and India is doing very silly decisions. They decided to ban bitcoin and everything related to it (investment, holding), they even set jail on it so such country won't succeed in economy in overall andbank crisis doesn't dissapoint me at the moment.
3522  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitmain is taking paypal !!!! on: October 09, 2019, 07:14:12 AM
This isn't good news for difficulty, it would definitely open open the doors for the masses.
Difficulty would rise in any way because Bitmain was always easily out of stock, so they never had problem of selling. Yeah, adding of paypal payment means new potential customers but it has nothing to do with your proposal and also everyone who buys antminer or bitmain's product is in touch with bitcoin and bitcoin payment isn't problem for them. Here is the most amazing fact: You can buy miners with 6 month zero fee loan.
Btw if anyone knows, is that 6 month zero interest available only for USA customers?
3523  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Artificial Intelligence (AI) trades on my exchange account. +74.1%? on: October 08, 2019, 05:38:40 PM
I prefer manual trading instead of others methods and choices and there are a lot of reasons for it. At first none traditional bot or artificial bot can read and analyze bitcoin related news. And there is no doubt every news plays hige role in bitcoin's price, once you miss important one, you have to change your trading plan and bot that only uses technical analyzes isn't useful to my mind.
There were news like some exchanges stopping withdrawal for a while, coinmarketcap removed some exchanges from their list - this two are just an example and if you remember in both situation price of bitcoin was significantly affected. AI bot can't understand that.

Wow cool event. It is very pleasant that cryptocurrencies and mining are supported by such serious people as the Minister of Economy of Armenia. I am sure the project will be mega-successful.
Hope no one will ever take it wrongly but to be fair personally I can't consider interest of Minister of economy of Armenia can be considered as something great achievement because this country doesn't play any major role in this world. Of course interest from them is good and it states that they are motivated to develop and follow steps of technological development but at the same time that's not something exciting moment.
But if interest comes from major countries like USA, UK and etc, this will really be a game changer cause they have great economy and are idols of a lot of country.
3525  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin is not that good as currency? on: October 08, 2019, 12:06:53 PM
I like idea behind bitcoin, that's great improvement in overall but bitcoin was never meant for massive usage.
I like image that OP posted, it really shows how USD degrades and BTC developes. This means old fiat has to be changed with new and modern currency to meet current standarts.
I think there must be new currency, international one with fixed value, limited supply which will prevent inflation and prices will always be like demand/supply and inflation won't affect it everytime. Alsp number of population must be considered too and supply has to be changed once in every 10-20 year or something similar.
3526  Other / Meta / Re: 3 Years Ago I Lost 5 BTCs from a Scam Sent From BitcoinTalk.org Official Email on: October 07, 2019, 02:24:53 PM
True story,

In 2017 I was running my bitcoin blog; one of the first blogs created in the space, when someone contacted me from an official BitcoinTalk.org. They asked for 5 BTCs to post a banner ad on BT. Seeing that the email was coming from an official BT address, I sent them 5 BTCs.

Two weeks later after not hearing from anyone, I received a message from BitcoinTalk.org saying their email was hacked and the ad offer was from a scammer.

5 Bitcoins today = $40,000 USD. I really miss it. I wish BitcoinTalk.org would at least say sorry.
Please can you tell us which website you owned? Have you heard anything about email spoofing? Despite the fact that most mails have good anti spam protection, it's still possible to send fake emails which will bypasd spam filter.
Then you could at least check website instead of directly sending bitcoins to an unknown adress, have you even checked history of that adress?
In any way no one has to apologize, especially bitcointalk's staff.
3527  Economy / Economics / Re: Ethereum managed to pass bitcoin in transaction fees last week on: October 03, 2019, 11:37:56 PM
At some point miners might decide to switch to Ether, especially as Ether provides block rewards in perpetuity as well (no halvenings).

What miners? Bitcoin miners? I wish them good luck with their SHA256 asics.  Tongue

It doesn't really surprise me that Bitcoin's fees are going down with how Segwit adoption has yet again made another high; https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/charts/segwit-usage

I noticed too recently how low the fees have become. Most of my transactions were confirmed by the next block with just $0.10 in fees, and I feel that I overpaid there as well.

Tether switching to Ethereum has done a lot to inflate the fees there. Not that long ago there were like 150,000 transactions waiting for a confirmation. Currently that's about 40,000. Good time for Ethereum competitors to leverage the high fees and market themselves as THE cheaper alternative.
That was very funny, bitcoin miners with their SHA256 are going to turn on ethereum, wish that was possible, I would be billionaire.
Btw according to this news, it's so written that some people may see bitcoin mining sucks and there is light in ethereum (well in reality bitcoin mining really sucks now). That's bad to be fair that ethereum has higher fees than bitcoin, that's bad for ether's usage because it really did bad for bitcoin transactions once when we had huge fees.
Bad for ether, ok for bitcoin. Hope Bitcoin's fee will be so low, I got very quick confirmation on super low tx fee.
3528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A True Cryptocurrency must start with the fundamentals on: October 03, 2019, 10:50:47 PM

Leonardo D’ Vinci was once asked, by a patron,
“how do you create such magnificent works out of rocks?”
His answer came immediate and sure,
“I chip away everything that’s not angel”

A true Cryptocurrency must start with the fundamentals...based on principles of the highest order.
What would a true cryptosystem look like if it had everything in it from the beginning?
Then pruned "everything that’s not angel"?
If it had everything from the beginning? Everything that’s not angel? And how is that possible man to consider everything? And also what if we won't forget the fact that we change and something that was acceptable in past, isn't acceptable now and opposite. Centuries ago people were saying: With such young generation, we will ruin but as you see instead of degradation we are developing on higher level (still degrade too for some reasons at some point). Our views and thoughts are changing so if something has everything from the begining as for now, this can turn from everything into void in future because of our thoughts and needs change.
3529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rant: I am thinking of Quitting my Interest in Crypto Currency on: October 03, 2019, 09:47:54 PM
At first I thought this post was about getting tired of bitcoin price falls and can't wait for rise but it's a whole different subject of discussion.
Well, OP, everything was amazing, fun and interesting at first, I would call that time era of freebitco because that website introduced me into bitcoins. That time bitcoin wasn't commercial thing like it is now (can't mine at home, a lot of regulations on exchanges, KYC documents everywhere and etc).
That's getting boring but I'm still here because of bitcoin's possibilities, it's just nice payment method and consider this as an investment option too on long term.
If you can, get best it from it and use it for your needs, things get abused as time goes and that's why we have so terrible situation now. Bitcoin was nice when only few people knew it.
3530  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: TOR + Clear net live bitcoin calculator. any feature requests? on: October 03, 2019, 09:12:53 PM
Oh, name is like musician... Bitcoinian... haha, sounds very funny and cool.
Visited website and like it very much, I think it may be something that can take place of preev among others. Template is simple, in dark colors but it still leaves good experience, everything is pretty nice and easy. I especially like the fact that you tried to be original and different and included not only bitcoin/usd/euro but also rates of bitcoin/banana, bitcoin/iphone.
Nice domain, nice website, wish you all the best. Personally I may suggest others your website during bitcoin exchange in future when I'll have a need of it.
3531  Economy / Speculation / Re: 20% price drop 7 months before the May 2020 halving? on: October 03, 2019, 08:02:42 PM
Current 20% price drop isn't even in touch with upcoming halving. To be fair I really don't like current situation and kills some hopes in me and also think does the same in a lot of people too and it affect market price even hardly (I still try to keep btc instead of selling them). But if we remember from past, there was some falls before halving and after that it was stable 600$ for a while which killed also hope in some people of further rise because they were expecting huge and immediate rise after halving but as we see it still happened, wasn't quick but rise was huge, yeah, it started from 600$, become 1000, then 2000 and this growth continued, continued until 20K usd which is a huge achievement. I hope we will repeat that again and even with higher price, let's wait for some months, halving will answer our questions.
3532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: US Lawmakers want's a National Digital Currency on: October 03, 2019, 07:28:00 PM
They are asking for digital dollar but please tell me if such thing doesn't exist as for now, then what can we call money that's stored on our cards and bank accounts?
But it's another whole different task if they want usd with cryptographic profile which I highly doubt they want or if they follow it, then it will be visually similar of it but in reality far from crypto world. I think it's just a waste of time to have both usd in real life and cryptocurrency usd officially. Better to leave one and it must be last one which I mentioned, limited supply instead of unlimited printing.
3533  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 NO HOUSE EDGE, READ THREAD!🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴㈞ on: October 03, 2019, 06:57:55 PM
I read your thread's first post, love the story to be fair, it shows great and right motive behind this project. But donation in casinos still sounds very funny, donate in casino instead of donate for poor people? Don't take it wrongly but I think there are some issues.
If your plan is to really help gamble addicts, be more informative around this subject too on your website to achieve better results.
Also you need to change UI as soon as possible, it's not really nice, I know you'll do that in some time but you really need some key to make customer visit your website and with bad UI it makes your promotion very hard.
On another hand wish you luck and all the best but I guess you seriously need to consider alternative methods of profit from your website rather than depend on just donation.
3534  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it worth for me in my situation to start btc trading? on: October 03, 2019, 06:32:54 PM
If you plan to be a freelancer, I highly believe you'll use platform of fiver where it's not so easy to gain attention from customers because competition is very high and in most cases people are looking for experienced freelancers and don't like experiments.
But on another hand if you are good web developer graphics designer and etc, you can try Envato's platform, I think it will be 100x more profitable for you than fiverr but also takes much more time and afford.
No one can tell you whether you'll profit from trading or not but just remember this: If you profit that's because someone loses.
3535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why not use Exchange instead of Mixer? on: October 03, 2019, 08:45:35 AM
So, Mixers provide service of shuffling bitcoins or provide addresses loaded with bitcoins along with private keys. In short, they provide service so to create anonymity between sender's and receiver's address so that no one can trace the transaction.
My question is why not use Exchanges? When we deposit funds on exchange, bitcoins get deposited on exchange's cold wallet. But when we withdraw funds, withdraw gets processed from exchange's hot wallet. So in short, it is very easy to do anonymous transfer by depositing funds on exchange and withdrawing to other addresses. Why to pay 1-3% fees on Mixers when it could be done for much less on Exchanges. Exchanges like Binance charge just 0.0005 BTC to process withdrawals.
Haven't you ever thought that exchanges require KYC and every transaction/log/activity that happens from your account is recorded and what's even worse is that it's done by a regulated service provider, something that has common with government.
While mixers require zero KYC, at least this is guaranteed, we can't 100% surely say that they don't keep any log but for example if we remind bitmixer, it was the greatest and biggest mixer ever, top with anonimity and very trustworthy. Also to add, you can use tor link for better anonimity, none mixer will ask you about fund sources and etc, all you do is deposit and get, without problems and traces.
3536  Economy / Economics / Re: How negative interest rates affect Bitcoin on: October 03, 2019, 08:07:59 AM
I don't think negative interest rate will have any negative impact on the bitcoin, since bitcoin is not dependent on such market model to strive. Bitcoin is on a different class. It should rather have a positive impact on the bitcoin, If because excess fund should be allowed to flow to bitcoin market.
Wait wait, in this situation I think we discuss about scenario similar of this: National currency which hugely depends on USD, falls and NatCur/USD exchange rate increases a lot, usd rises for national currency. From this point negativity rises and this affects further situation of national currency in a very negative way, people buy USD cause no one wants your national currency (it falls and isn't something that you can hold on).
So how does same situation can't affect bitcoin? Of course it affects but at the same time there is hope in bitcoin too which sometimes rises. People use lows to buy as much as possible and then have huge hope that it will rise and that happens too cause everyone wants rise instead of further fall. Also halving affects price a lot where mined bitcoins are reduced and in our fiat reality money printing is increased.
3537  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: blockchain.info wallet from 2013 not working on: October 03, 2019, 06:58:48 AM
Seems old topic bumped now but it's must to discuss because you aren't alone OP and blockchain.info really has that issue on some wallets, even on new ones. For example I created some wallets in 2017 on blockchain.info but there was one with problems. At first this one was working as usual but one week later I was unable to login. Password/etc was correct, I was even getting email confirmation and it was stating successful authorization but still I wasn't able to login, there was error from their side.
And I want to repeat again, it happened on wallet that was created in 2017, 5 years later than OP created.
What I did was just hang on it because had no bitcoin. But still I'm looking for reasons, why that happened, their support as always is useless.
3538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's most important to you in a crypto betting platform? on: October 03, 2019, 06:25:35 AM
I wanted to create a thread to get a general idea of what you look for when you're betting with your Crypto's.

I'm a developer myself & building a betting platform right now - I thought where better than here to ask for advice!
In crypto betting platforms I guess you mean sportsbook, yeah?
Just look to sportsbooks (doesn't matter whether it's cryptocurrency based or not) and dig further why they are popular, it's not only because of advertisement unlike Heineken.
People love when they have possibility to bet on a lot of matches, to be available almost every match. Along with it people also like when there are variety options of betting on these matches which includes who will score first, how many corners, tickets and etc.
Also it's another great experience when casino users are able to watch live translation stream through their favourite casino, it also makes them more comfortable to bet on live bets.
Nothing to talk about good support and fast payments, this of course is needed in any way.
3539  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to find a team for a project? on: October 03, 2019, 05:58:22 AM
Hello,

my question is basically, how to find a team for a project if an idea is already there and a concept written.
Maybe here is someone who has the experience and already a running project and have some tips how to find a good team and start the project.

Thanks in advance for your responses and tips.
Personally I prefer for serious projects it's better to find people in real life (to be able to meet them). Also it depends on where you live cause in small countries/cities it's pretty easy. You may find websites of developers, call them, offer them your proposal and etc.
Also you can use HR websites and ask candidates to send CV where you'll choose the one you like from sent works/projects, introduce them your idea in overall and offer payment (I know that's hard but usually without guaranteed fixed payment, no one is going to follow offered proposal).
3540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If they can print unlimited fiat, can they just not buy up all the bitcoin? on: October 02, 2019, 07:35:17 PM
I guess when you print a lot of money, value decreases. Please can you clarify how will they be able to buy all the bitcoin? At first remember how much bitcoins satoshi owns, consider that those bitcoins won't be sold.
Also consider the fact that despite the demand and any available money, there is not always supply.
With that logic, USA will be able to buy one small country with even their budget, that's not right thinking man.
