41  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Feature request: use higher fee as default on: October 07, 2016, 07:43:08 PM
I would appreciate if it was possible to increase the default fee, for instance by adding a configurable multiplier (ie 1.5 to make all levels 50% higher) or by allowing to set the highest level as the default. I forget modifying it when I send, and last time I used it the transaction was only accepted after 110 minutes and in the 8th block that was found after I sent the transaction.

I figure that's why he has so many two way ATMs that can only sell bitcoins. He's using them to sell the coins he gets through scams without having to meet anyone. The one ATM in Barcelona that could buy bitcoins only paid me a fraction of what I sent and several phone calls and emails did not get me my coins back. He has no intentions of running an honest business.

Have you tried unchecking "Hide Change" in the wallet window?

bit-keys sent me a PM and a week (and one reminder message from me) later I got the code. I'm happy that I wasn't scammed, but the response time leaves much to be desired. They apparently didn't read their email but bit-keys said their system was improved last weekend. I might still use them again, mostly because they are the only supplier who accepts bitcoins and who I think aren't buying the codes using stolen credit cards. The first time I used them it worked flawlessly.

Me envió alrededor del 20% de lo que me debe.

Looks like another failing Bitcoin business. They took my money but something went wrong and I did not get any code. I emailed the info address several days ago but have not gotten any reply. According to the web page it was in stock and should be sent instantly.

The petition is still going on so please vote if you want to buy games with Bitcoins. They sometimes have very good offers on new games as well, this weekend they had Witcher 3 for $24.

According to Coinatmradar there are lots in Spain, but my experience is that few if any are working correctly when trying to sell coins. I have visited several along the coast between Málaga and Barcelona. If you send coins and don't get the right amount you won't get your coins back. I tried to warn about it on Coinatmradar but I was banned.

50  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Any service selling US Amazon gift cards to foreigners? Has to be legit. on: July 31, 2016, 09:13:02 AM
I often use this site and they give 15%, even though sometimes their service is really slow.
I can confirm this service was legit when i buy amazon gift card a month ago.
I doubt they are legit with that kind of discount, and there's also his negative feedback on Localbitcoins.
https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/Geeney/feedback/negative/

My guess is that he is (re)selling gift cards bought using stolen credit cards, selling the same codes multiple times and/or laundering money. Amazon does not seem to withdraw money from your account but they may cancel the GC if you don't redeem it quickly.
51  Economy / Service Discussion / Any service selling US Amazon gift cards to foreigners? Has to be legit. on: July 30, 2016, 11:27:04 AM
Can anyone suggest such a service? Gyft and Egifter refuses to sell them to me, probably because I have a non-US IP, and Cryfter is out of stock. With the rest of the services I have found the chance that I get codes bought using stolen credit cards is too high. I suppose I could try Gyft and Egifter with a VPN, but it seems a bit much hassle.
52  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-07-27] news.bitcoin.com-Bitcoin ‘Whales’ Vote in Favor of Larger Tx Blocks on: July 30, 2016, 11:11:05 AM
Even 1MB blocks has been bad for node decentralisation: there were over 8000 nodes back in 2012, whereas we have 5500 today.
This is a good point. Those who want larger block sizes but aren't running the full client are a bit hypocritical. I'm running core now but I probably wouldn't with 2 MB blocks and certainly not with 4 MB. It doesn't help that the database pretty much has to be stored on an SSD drive to get decent performance.
53  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-06-07] Chinese Bitcoin Miners Busted for Electricity Theft on: July 07, 2016, 06:46:56 AM
In my city, something like that will not go unnoticed... if your electricity usage goes a little bit higher than usual.. you get a knock on the door...
They wouldn't know if you were stealing it. The thieves will connect to the cable before the meter so they can only see that the total energy output is higher than what their customers have used in total. If they hadn't stolen so much they would probably never have been caught.
54  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: RED ALERT--WARNING!!! HashOcean refund email on: July 04, 2016, 07:44:14 AM
The scam was HashOcean. They took your money and when the ponzi folded they got "hacked" like almost all the other bitcoin scams that have existed through the years. Stop being so gullible. The chance that you'll find a profitable way to invest bitcoins is pretty much zero. You will get scammed if you try.
55  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: got an email from HashOcean on: June 29, 2016, 07:23:02 PM
Isn't that your own address? Are they just asking you to send this amount to yourself to prove you own it?
56  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: armory refuses to use nonstandard dir on: June 21, 2016, 07:52:55 PM
good idea, it is probably a stupid syntax mistake, and I can change folder names once I get it working


"D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir=“D:\Bitcoin” --datadir=”D:\armorydb”
I don't think you can use those funky sideways quote marks. Erase everything and copy this exactly:

Quote
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --satoshi-datadir="D:\Bitcoin" --datadir="D:\armorydb"

Also, are the Bitcoin and Armory dirs the ones that contain the wallet file(s)? They should be.
57  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 10:59:19 AM
Yet the miners are producing partially full blocks. It comes down to their own settings, some might not want to include very cheap/free transactions.
Of course, but those are even more artificial limitations than the block size. It works as long as most of the reward comes from the block reward and not fees, but eventually the fees will be the majority of the reward that pays the miners. At that point they won't be able to set such limits because they will be undercut by other miners. 0 fee blocks can still be excluded but not the ones that pay the minimum fee.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 10:46:33 AM
I doubt that many 0-fee transactions would be included at this point even if the average block size was lower. This is due to some factors, and one being the huge amount of spam transactions in the 1-10 satoshis/byte range.
If the blocks are filled because of spam transactions then they would still be full.
59  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 10:08:48 AM
The blocks are supposed to be full. That's what forces users to outbid enough other users to have their transactions included, which in turn is what is supposed to incentivice the miners to mine and protect the network. If they are not full then there is no need to pay a fee. I can understand why users want the fees to continue to be neglible but Bitcoin won't survive if they do.

Entiendo ahora. Sólo quieres usar los cajeros para vender las monedas que has obtenido a través de tus esquemas Ponzis.
