3861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do small investments make sense? on: February 08, 2017, 10:02:57 AM
Well for me it totally makes sense since I started in some HYIP and learned through it,
I started investing in small amount and I made some decent amount of money through it.

even talking about investing in a HYIP is wrong, and i doubt what you are calling "a decent amount" is really what you have earned.
a HYIP is a scam, simple as that and you "investing in a HYIP" means you are giving away your money to a scammer. and in case you got something back it is only because you gave a small amount and they wanted to fool you into investing more.
making no profit or even losing money in legit investments is better than risking in a scam.
3862  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your toolset for Bitcoin trading? on: February 08, 2017, 09:56:16 AM
the only thing that i ever needed was the exchange site itself (bittrex that i am using) i can do all my analysis there and make the trades at the same time. but i use a bot that i made some time ago.

i have also tried cryptrader.com for a while, it was good and had some good features. i don't know if it is active anymore.

and also i am looking for an online service that i can use for alerts for when price reaches a certain level, but i have not found one yet. would love to know if anyone has anything.

Gunbot
a closed source bot with self-moderated topic! i don't know but i do not like it.

Breaking.

breaking in your language must mean old.
Chinese exchanges have been meeting with their Central Bank (PBoC) for months now, it started a long time ago and they have been negotiating for a long time.

and your topics are always being deleted by mods because you are spreading bullshit from shitty sources.
3864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you login to a gambling site with Twitter, Google or Facebook Id? on: February 08, 2017, 09:41:35 AM
Most sites, at least dice sites, provide either a login url (Just-Dice, SatoshiDice) or ask for a user name and password (BitDice, PrimeDice).
One of the benefits of Bitcoin gambling is betting anonymously.
There has been a couple of sites however that allowed you to login with your social media profiles, though they seem to be dead now Smiley
Do you think sites should offer the option of login via social media profile as well as the normal username/password?

i think it is a good feature to have, but not a required feature because many users may not want it at all, and feel their privacy is compromised.

but i think it is not such a bad idea if for example the gambling site has an option for you to choose between signing up with Email, or Facebook, .... or other social media profiles and also let you post stuff on your social media for example a nice win on your twitter or automatically post your ref link with nice pictures and your win bet on your twitter. but as i said it must be an optional feature.
3865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin volume and attention is back , tips to not get REKT on: February 08, 2017, 09:35:47 AM
to be honest i don't see any change, or as you put it a "surge" or revival of altcoins, we have the same market as before with no change whatsoever. there are coins that are going down and a couple each week that are getting pumped with bigger volumes.

and then there is bitcoin price and since it is on the rise and mostly volatile these days, many traders have their attention focused on bitcoin market instead.
3866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to analyze an ICO project going to be scam or not? on: February 08, 2017, 09:31:03 AM
there are two risks involved with ICOs and investing in them, one of them is the owners running away and disappearing after they get the funds. and the other once which most people forget is the fact that their projects are often failing, so it doesn't matter if they don't run away, the price of that altcoin because it failed will be lower than what you paid for ICO.
3867  Economy / Speculation / Re: When to invest? on: February 07, 2017, 01:01:43 PM
invest in bitcoin as soon as you realized that $1000, $1100, $1200 and so on are cheap prices for bitcoin. i have been saying this for over two years but so few people ever listen.
there is only a limited supply of bitcoins to go around for everyone. having one whole bitcoin sounds ridiculous when there is only 21 million of them are going to be available ever!
3868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain Is Capable To Prevent All Types Of Fraud on: February 07, 2017, 12:46:15 PM
blockchain is capable to prevent all types of fraud.. until..

devs stupidly add
CSV/CLTV - laymens: 'chargeback feature during funds balance unavailable' even after confirmation
RBF - laymans: 'replace transaction to fake a payment and double spend while unconfirmed'
CPFP - laymans: 'replace transaction to fake a payment and double spend while unconfirmed'

i do not know what CSV/CLTV is and it is the first time i am hearing it Cheesy
edit: CLTV is CheckLockTimeVerify and it doesn't allow including in a valid block until the nLockTime is in the past so it don't work on confirmed transaction!!! https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Timelock#CheckLockTimeVerify
same goes for CSV (CheckSequenceVerify) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Timelock#CheckSequenceVerify
can you explain why you said "even after confirmation"?

but it is worth highlighting that all these (at least CPFP and RBF) will only work on unconfirmed transactions and as far as i can remember, from day one nobody trusted an unconfirmed transaction and it was always suggested to wait for at least 3 confirmation.
3869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: CoinMarketCap.com seriously needs to delist YOBIT on: February 07, 2017, 12:11:17 PM
The coin is removed from CMC now.

I don't necessarily think CMC should delist Yobit, but Yobit (and all exchanges that do this) should be punished for letting people trade while they don't accept deposits and withdrawals or if their wallet is not fully synced. If an exchange allows trading while not allowing people to deposit or withdraw coins, they can set up whatever price they want because there's no arbitrage. That's just a very unprofessional and even just simply a shitty thing to do.

I also don't think the pump has anything to do with Yobit's staff (they could scam money much more silent ways if they wanted to), it's most likely just some people exploiting the situation.

i say they should because their volume is 90% fake and they have a page listing exchanges based on their volume and Yobit is gaining rank in there for this.
also it is not just disabled wallets, you can not make trades either. if they have  a fake order open you can not sell to that order!

and next time i will post an screenshot of orders as small as 1 satoshi (the minimum trade volume allowed is 10000 satoshi) if i have time and can catch another glimpse at their fake pump operation.

Edit: it didn't even take me much time to find one Grin


notice how users can not make the same trade as the hidden yobit pump bot because it is smaller than the allowed size?

also do you notice how thin the orderbook is yet they are reporting 20+ bitcoin volume?!

Don't mean to doubt you or anything like that but how can we believe that all screenshots were taken on the same day?Particularly the last screenshot of yobit

[im g]https://i.imgur.com/e4MEX8I.jpg[/img]

Was it also taken same day when Yobit was pumping the said coin?

instead of replying to this post you could have checked the wallet yourself! you replied only 5 hours after i posted this.
3870  Bitcoin / Electrum / [ArchLinux] Who is "Timothy Redaelli" and why is he signing electrum on: February 07, 2017, 11:57:37 AM
I am fairly new to linux and also ArchLinux so correct me if i am wrong but when i was checking the Packages section an Archlinux website i realized that there is an Electrum package there but it is signed with a different key (0xE711306E3C4F88BC) belonging to "Timothy Redaelli".

* all releases have always been signed by ThomasV (0x2BD5824B7F9470E6) as far as i can remember, and there is no mention of the other key anywhere that i could find.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/electrum/

I wanted to know if am missing something or does he have any affiliation with Electrum project and is the packages safe?
3871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / CoinMarketCap.com seriously needs to delist YOBIT on: February 06, 2017, 03:52:54 PM
This topic has two purpose:
1) show how Yobit is fake pumping shitcoins to make money
2) how market cap is a terrible thing for comparing and ranking altcoins.

Their pumping bot is out of control  Grin
most recently they pumped a dead 1 satoshi altcoin 80,563,100% (yes your eyes are seeing the number right!) and right now this coin is number 3 in market cap with only 0.41BTC (fake) volume and 0.00014000BTC price.

here is the coinmarketcap.com screenshot at the time of this happening:



and here is Yobit wallet page (disabling any deposits to prevent anyone from messing with their fake pump while they are doing it).


3872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt coins worth buying on: February 06, 2017, 03:13:19 PM
As Bitcoin's worth starts to move in a certain range, I think that the etherum worth  up trend will increase even more.

I think that's plausible, there are even more developers that are linking their services with Ethereum. And smart contracts are becoming more popular nowadays so I guess ETH is really worth of buying.

most of these linking to ethereum is because most of those developers have seen the success in price for ethereum (in other words they have seen the pump and dumps) and want to join in with their own project.
next time ethereum is pumped you will start hearing a lot of news about all these linked projects and how they are also getting pumped, but again they forget about the dump because they will be dumped hard too.

We can't deny with the success of ETH and that's why it is on the next list on the top crypto currencies that are competing in the market.
But it can never surpass bitcoin, these developers are seeing a very good opportunity and advantage upon choosing ETH for their project.
And that makes ETH to be worth of investing.

success of ethereum is because of the hype + rich developer and team behind it who can through thousands of dollars at it to prevent crashes by putting up buy walls + pumpers always wanting a big coin to join and pump for bigger profit rather than a small coin with low volume.
and the reason ethereum is on top is because it has a big maximum coins available.
and these makes ethereum worth investing as long as you can get in when there was a dump and price has crashed, not on the rise.
3873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I buy MOON? on: February 06, 2017, 03:08:28 PM
as a rule of thumb when you no longer see an altcoin on major exchanges such as poloniex and bittrex, that means that coin is not a good coin. and when the coin was on one of these exchanges and got de-listed that means it once was decent but couldn't keep it up and died fast.

the question is why would you even want to invest in something like that?
3874  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin value is returned to 1000$ again on: February 06, 2017, 02:54:14 PM
I think that PBOC intervention which destroyed margin trading in China created more stable market. Maybe $1000 is our new floor and become solid resistance level?
Serious bullish trend formed, with this kind of support $1000 is not the end of the road, we may see $1100 soon.

nothing has been stable ever sine the PBOC thing happened in China. price wend down and become very volatile in the first couple of days and after becoming stable at 910-920 range it went up to $1010 in a very short time. which was about a 10% rise and depending on how long it took to get there i wouldn't call it stable market.

the thing that i believe is that nothing has changed. and bitcoin will continue to go up like before. China fake volume is now removed and nothing else Cheesy
3875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to make governments accept bitcoin? on: February 06, 2017, 02:49:58 PM
I have a question for you. How to make governments accept bitcoin and not see it as a threat? So that one could use bitcoin in daily use, such as paying taxes or grocery shopping. What is there, other than anonymity, thats making governments fear bitcoin and cryptocurrencies?

Today, bitcoin is not a threat to the states. Yes bitcoin is very valuable. We all know the value of bitcoin against the dollar. But states have yet to fully understand the importance of bitcoin. That's why I do not think they're afraid of bitcoin.

I think there is some thread, bitcoin is anonymous, so rich people will buy bitcoin to hide some of their wealth. The Government can't track their real wealth when its already in bitcoin. Another thread is black market, scam, money laundering, etc.

actually bitcoin is not as anonymous as you think. everything is clear and obvious on the blockchain and is open to anyone who wants to see it. and also when you buy bitcoin specially with a large amount that you withdraw from your bank account it raises lots of flags and bank will know where that money has gone.
besides there are so many easier ways for rich to hide their wealth without risking an investment in bitcoin with volatile price!
3876  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who to blame for the increasing transaction fee? on: February 05, 2017, 06:56:29 AM
bitcoin users are also to blame.
because we are competing with each other after all. i see others are paying higher fee and i want to be in front of them so i pay higher fees that them and the next series of transactions pay higher than me and this will continue as long as blocks are full and mempool is big.

i don't know when are we going to start calling it "bribing the miners" instead of calling it fee.
3877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Starting sports betting on: February 05, 2017, 06:47:24 AM
I've never found any gambling or sports betting particulary interesting or addictive in any way. But I'm kind of interested on how does one get into sports betting? Do you find the sport you like or the sport with best odds and better options with higher chances of predicting? Also I was thinking of getting into e-sport betting, anyone else that's already into it?

you first have to be a sports fan.
then you find a sport or a team that you love, and more importantly watch and follow. then you make bets on their matches.
if you are not a sports fan then you will never have a good time making any bets. and surely enough you can never win anything. and i have done it, i have tried to make bets on sports that i didn't know anything about or didn't even like, and failed to do so. because i had no idea what to do apart from using a tipster and i never enjoyed it so i gave it up.
3878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: February 05, 2017, 06:40:33 AM
In gambling we just know about two things
These are
Win or lose
But the question is when you do betting
You always lose
You do realize about it but why we still go through on betting place?!!!
Apologoze if my topic have already exist it just about my interesting about your opinion about my experiences

because it is win and lose, not just lose alone.
and the most important thing in gambling is that you should always gamble with what you can afford to lose. and also in my opinion you should look at gambling as a game, and something that is entertaining not something that is going to make you money.
like going to an amusement park and spending money in one of those games that you can win something from. you never say i always lose and never going to spend any money anymore.
3879  Economy / Speculation / Re: it IS time for rise on: February 05, 2017, 06:31:53 AM
I dont see a lot of strength in the rise, maybe its just the start and we have an all time high, or we go further down than 900, we will see shortly. But this rise is more steady

The volumes are pretty high - at around $150 Mn. And this is after the fake chinese volumes have been eliminated. When we rise with strong trading volumes, a support base is usually formed at these levels.

the volume is always high whenever price is rising or falling. in short whenever price is changing a lot, obviously many of the investors start acting up based on how price is changing. on both cases some are selling and some are buying whether to join in or get out (no matter up or down movement). so this creates a much higher volume.
and besides, the total volume and mostly the volume we used to check was the one on exchanges such as bitfinex, bitstamp and kraken. we never even looked at Chinese exchanges volumes apart from when someone spread some FUD.
3880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is there an increased number of newbies wanting to create a new altcoin? on: February 05, 2017, 06:28:36 AM
Sounds like Doge coin the biggest ALT for a loooong time.

Funny is some people here thinking, more currency is better.. Google search "Quantitative Easing"
..and why Doge's value is so low (hint = max coin supply)

Problem is.. idiot brats that know fuck all or have any integrity.

very good point.
and also not to mention, making the max coin supply is just a line of code. changing a number to 100 times the previous one, and there is nothing backing up that many coins.

in fact that is how coins like ethereum has been getting the "brand" of being second crypto currency! with fake supply.

and in other interesting part of coins like ethereum is that not all of the max supply is available to public. if it were price would have been the same as doge Cheesy

so how do you think it is getting better and better? there is no improvement, only back track.
There have been so many improvements to the original bitcoin. Too many to mention. How could you have missed them all?  Huh

Just look at all the experiments and cool stuff in the top 50 coins. Not to mention other blockchain projects. It's amazing

i am not arguing about improvements.
but out of a couple of thousands altcoins that currently exist what percentage of them do you think are offering new features and improvements?
i assure you the percentage is less than 10% and the features are usually nothing to talk about but just look good.
