3521  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature Campaign Question on: September 11, 2017, 10:34:45 PM
I have no intent to leave my signature campaign but I'm curious to know, is it considered rude or unreliable to join a signature campaign and leave it for another?  I would think it is an annoyance but I see people post in various campaign threads that they are leaving. 

Normally there is no issue about leaving members their signature campaigns for many reasons. I think the most reason they do so is because they find another campaigns paying more than their current campaign. Sometimes they quit because they get busy and don't have the enough time to post in the forum.
But it is always better to tell the campaign manager about your leaving to let him know.

well can't help it since their aim from the start is to earn but i find it rude if people didn't finished what they started. yes we don't have a written rule

about this but in all cases we have this manners thing or code of etiquette. just like in real life not everything should be writen in our laws

if the situation calls for you to quit a certain signature campaign its best to inform your campaign manager about it

dear op, if you're that lazy to read maybe forums are not for you. forums are for discussions so obviously most of the time you just read threads.

i don't know whats so hard about reading the latest posts of your campaign manager or reading the latest posts on the campaign thread.

Of-course there is a easier way you can go through this thread to know about the signature campaigns overview to check for the campaigns which are open/running right now, and to know which ones are closed you can check in the change logs.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

that list is not updated real time as you can see. the best option is still to read

Always check if the green lock is near the address of the website in the address bar. Usually scammers will not pay 60-100 dollars to just have a green lock,like bitcoin talk has to secure the connection. If you use web wallets you should be careful what google search bring up to as google takes time to check all sites and they might not know for what it is for in the early days. Better to switch to desktop wallets.

Those are the options to check for people who know where they want to go , like in your case Op. For others it is always best to try to search reviews for a specific website, program or exchange. Asking here is the best option as  you will get feedback back only in a few minutes.

yah it might be a pain for you to check if the link you entered is correct but the green lock and https are easy to spot so you shouldn't have any problems to that.

All legit sites with some kind of payment options has a green lock and https so if you're visiting a site without, then you might wanna search it on google

moreover if you are frequently using a certain site, you should bookmark it. that way you won't get lost.
3524  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is mining and TRADING THE SAME on: September 11, 2017, 06:20:25 PM
Trading and mining is different and trading is way better than mining for me because when you mine you have to buy a lot of GPU and you have to maintain it plus you need to pay for your electricity bill. While in trading if you have the skills and money then you will surely make money and you don't have to pay anything all you have to put is time and effort.

Ya true. In mining you will get very huge profit than trading. In trading of bitcoin, time is very essential .If the price is reached maximum value and peak means, you should sell your holding bitcoin.If you check the price periodically means, the trading will be very fine.You will get good profit soon.

Don't determine which one is superior between the two in terms of profits because your total profits depends on many factors. you just have to choose between

the two on what really suits you. examples are in terms of budget you'll be spending a lot more if you go with mining rather than trading. Both of them are

completely different but somewhat related because of cryptos
3525  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is a whale? on: September 11, 2017, 05:10:03 PM
whale is a person or company that has a stock or a lot of capital.
usually they are people who can control the price of a market.
capital needed to be a whale of about 100-1000BTC or more.

The capital doesn't really have to be at least 100 btc, it actually depends on a cryptocoins market cap. do you know that not all rich people can be a whale? but also an average

guy who's receiving decent income. for example, If a coins market cap is $10000 you can be a whale with $3000+. Low market caps are typically with newly released coins or

undervalued ones. the 1000+ btc can be used to more popular cryptocoins. being a whale is really nice as you can always influence the market
3526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How To Spot A Bitcoin Scam on: September 11, 2017, 04:22:30 PM
If you want known a scammer. I just say. Dont trust anyone on internet. always use escrow. Check their feedback carefully. Everything can be fake. Hard to believe anyone in this crypto world

well escrows are great and proven useful but you can't use them all the time, it differs per situation for example in a cloud mining site, first they won't use some kind of escrows

who will keep your money while they're mining (assuming that they are) and if the target profit didn't met you'll gain your money back, theres no such a thing.

Feedback is also great but not all sites have them. i think the trick is to determine is its too good to be true. you know putting yourself in their shoes and asking yourself, "if i do

this will i get a decent profit?" if you think not then its probably not
3527  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you think the price will DROP MORE? on: September 11, 2017, 02:52:45 PM
i think so because we can all see that the famous blogs/sites are even taking part so this will really have an impact. as you all know there are many factors

that can affect bitcoins price and ico's are usually paid in btc, it has a part on the circulation of bitcoin although i think its not really a big part. theres also a

huge pump in the past weeks so this can be a price correction. no one knows but normally bitcoin will take slowly increasing its price
3528  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Time management. on: September 11, 2017, 01:47:36 PM
no matter how hectic our schedule, we will always have time for bitcoin because we came here to spend our free time productively right?

this is just like a part time job to add into our income or to support something, its certainly not the first priority for most people. if its started to get in the

way or lets say you can't devote that much time on it then its better to quit. as for me since i am a student there is no way that i don't have a free time and

as much as possible i do this when free time comes. my time management as of now is determining my priorities and then doing them in order
3529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Traders; what do you look for on: September 11, 2017, 12:33:07 PM
I have a huge doubts on ico's but some of them are really legit thats why if its an ico signature campaign, i will join if only yahoo vouched for it.

back to the question, we're all looking for the same thing here and that is profit although some icos fails to be listed in various exchanges

thats why waiting for your invested ico to be listed can make you anxious. and then theres nothing to look for when you're already trading it except pumps.
3530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I convert my BCH to BTC? on: September 11, 2017, 11:35:40 AM
I'm also holding my free bch because i really believe that there is a high chance that bch will follow etc or even surpassing it.

if you have researched, when etc comes out of ethereum, many people believed that it will just dump but look how is it now.

as of now many exchanges are welcoming bch which is a good sign so i think its worth to keep your bch because it has its

potential, just give it time.
3531  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is Falling...Is it Panic Time? on: September 10, 2017, 02:47:15 PM
One of the chracteristic of bitcoin is that it is fluctuating. So there's no need to panic, and base on the history of bitcoin if the price of btc goes down in the next month after that it will goes up and will surpass the highest pick that bitcoin ever made.

yes its fluctuating but it doesn't mean that it'll always go back to a higher price that why people are targeting this knowing that some people are easy to sway.

although if you look on charts, there is a high chance of it happening. in any given situation, its always wrong to resort on panicking because it usually result

in making wrong choices.  
3532  Economy / Economics / Re: Some things to consider before starting a business on: September 10, 2017, 10:44:26 AM
1. to know your target customers, the demographics of a certain location can help you pick what type of business is really needed
2. your location must be surrounded with a lot of people
3. budget- i think it'll be better to start with a small capital then if its a success you can gradually make your business bigger (low risk)
4. you must have a unique concept-- a selling point

and although its not necessary, open a business where there are fewer rivals
3533  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: September 10, 2017, 06:16:24 AM
I think in the presence of bitcoin will reduce unemployment, because searching for bitcoin also requires hard work and creativity, and competitiveness in bitcoin is also high almost similar to work in the real world
What is your opinion this time?

Yes, yes, that's true, in Bitcointalk, competitiveness and creativity is necessary in order to earn. Some are too greedy, they cheat so they can earn more, and cheaters never live long enough in this forum.

Anyway, I think Bitcoin cannot reduce unemployment. We can say that it is because we are earning here in this website, what if the signature campaign is gone? the only people will be left will be the traders, those who really have a capital. Those who only survive because of bounties, might go back to being unemployed.

i agree and sometimes we just need the persistence to exert an effort and to never give up. that being said we should also have some fall back plan in case signature campaign or other opportunities disappear as there is no guarantee that they'll be here forever thats why we should save and take advantage of the current opportunities now. for the fall back plan just study some courses for you to be able to enter a stable job in the real world because if you're not earning a decent amount of money it can't reduce unemployment
3534  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use a Bitcoin debit card? on: September 10, 2017, 04:47:14 AM
i don't trust about bitcoin debit card. i don't like to use it.
I prefer to sell/exchange my bitcoin and deposit on bank card.

that also goes for me. i really think that you can save more if you just convert your bitcoins to fiat rather than using bitcoin debit card because right now there are way too many

fees compared to the usual debit cards we use--cash. honestly people like the anomity of it but you don't really need it unless you're doing something illegal. and i'm not that

sure if the plastic version is acceptable in my country particularly those who has no name on it
3535  Economy / Economics / Re: Worst bitcoin decision you've ever made? on: September 09, 2017, 09:27:49 PM
Summer 2012. Diablo 3. I bought in game gold with bitcoin @ $3/btc - Spent 90 coins for 500 million in game gold.

IGG = 35 cents / million now.

I lose.

/wrist

Worst bitcoin decision I ever made is that I don't accept bitcoin early in my life. I knew bitcoin for years but only this year I do bitcoin. Yes I am so stupid. Maybe if I started last last year in earning bitcoin, now I may be a millionaire. By now I may have a  a hero rank and with so many good campaigns I can earn a half million of my currency. Maybe My dreams already turns into reality.But it is never too late. There is impossible with all hardworks. So far I think that is only my worst bitcoin decision I ever made. Wrong decision that roots everything and that is my first lesson. I will make sure it won't happen again ever.

This looks like a common mistake that majority of the users here does. One of the worst mistake that I did is, without researching about the trust of the wallet services I saved all my earnings in an untrusted wallet that went under maintenance months back and till now haven't got any notifications.
Due to frustration in bitcoin I played in gambling sites because I'm just thinking that this is the easy way to get bitcoin. But I was wrong because instead of income I always earn lost and I think that this is the worst decision I've been made.

Well people tends to get easily tempted on quick money schemes but when you get the gist of it. you probably won't fall for the same trick again.

the trick you to accomplish that is easy, you just have to remember that there is no easy way to get money, if there is, you have a one in a

million chance on getting it so why not just focused on something that guarantees to pay off. there are many ways but its not easy although

i promise you that its worth it.
3536  Economy / Economics / Re: 1Bitcoin as a gift from someone on: September 09, 2017, 07:46:31 PM
i think the best way is to divide them into two, 50% will go to your leisure/needs and the rest will go to your savings--you'll hold it instead of spending it.

although i really doubt that anyone in my peers will give me one as all of them is just your average people who's in between of rich and poor. and yah i don't have

rich friends. if my friends has 1 bitcoin, they would just probably keep it themselves
3537  Economy / Economics / Re: Mental barrier stops from buying BTC on: September 09, 2017, 06:09:46 PM
Not so long ago we've all whitnessed bitcoin at price 2k usd per btc. Now it is 4k. Sometimes before buying BTC I have a strong feeling that the price will fall pretty soon and I hould wait a bit before buying. Usually it all ends bad. Anyone have the same problem? How are you dealing with it?

My mental barrier is not so much the price increase, but more the hard fork situation in November/December.
I do not know what to make of it. My gut feeling tells me bitcoin has not disappointed me so far.
My head sees the numbers of 2x supporters amongst miners that show a large majority.
My head although sees that head and gut feeling go different ways and tries to warn me this is might become a mess.

well there are precautionary measures to be followed if a fork will happen and yes predicting what will happen after that is just plainly impossible so lets

not overthink things because it tends to cause panic resulting in bad choices. look what happened on august first, most people think that bitcoin will

really fall because this side is superior comapred to that side and so on--unending debate but hey since no one in this community wanted bitcoin to downgrade,

another solution arose and now we are happilly living in 4k. mental barriers are there but you can always defend yourself from it
3538  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way for steady income on: September 08, 2017, 04:08:50 PM
make an investment in mining, it would give a steady income. holding bitcoin is also best as of now because the rate of increase is fast. in a shorter time you can easily double the amount.
I'm not sure if you can make steady income with mining as difficulty keep increasing and you need to make a good timing with particular coins aside from btc
that you will going to mined maybe much better to do some trading and learn more deeper as there's much better chances to earn more coming from trading business than mining.


if he's talking about cloud mining then forget it, theres no good future in that but if its about the real mining where you will own some rigs, i think a stable income or passive one

rather might be possible although it'll greatly depend on your mining hardwares, how powerful it is and how many of them if you're going to mine bitcoin i highly suggest asics.

of course if the electricity rate is high in your country you might want to think again if you're gonna purse it because the odds of getting loss will be high
3539  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Almost All Cryptocurrency have fallen on: September 08, 2017, 12:16:27 PM
The Chinese government banned ICOs. Naturally as a result, alt coins started dropping. People are fearful they won't be able to get their money out with the government cracking down.

For the next couple of days I think it will blow over and go back up, but only time will tell.

this may be the beginning of the end of cryptocurrency? because i think that other governments can take this as an example with all this repercussions...and let's be honest ... wich powerful government does not want to have full control over money?
Seriously? The beginning of the end of cryptocurrency just because of a decision made by a country on ICOs? Guess you are just kidding. Wonder why people bother too much about rise and fall of all digital currencies at the same time, it is not new. Anything can cause it just like a normal forex market. The high volatility level is just the difference between the two.

i think that we shouldn't just get used to fluctuations of prices but also from the exaggerated statements of some people in this community because

it is a common strategy to sway people. the banning of ico's has really some effect on the prices but this shouldn't become a trigger to the fall of

cryptocoins because the fork didn't even so why should this? looking from the markets now, the price has already gone back to normal
3540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can bitcoin wallet be hacked by hackers? on: September 07, 2017, 05:48:24 PM
can they hack into our wallet. There are many professional hackers out there. What are the chances? Also what is the safest way to safeguard ourself?

I think it can probably hack by hackers because some of them are professional in online hacking. In addition to that, if you do not want to hack your wallet you should keep your private key in safe place and you can also use 2fa to keep you wallet secure. Lastly, just put your private key in safe place.

Actually they can't hack it if you're not careless and you're sure that you followed some security measures to secure it. its like caring for your wallet in real life,

if you carelessly put it somewhere somebody can stole it. of course online wallets are exception because even if you secure your account its still dangerous

because you don't control your private keys, the owner/s can run with your money and hackers mostly targets online wallets
