Any idea why my coins stopped staking? I got my first reward and then it went back to "spendable" and left the staking part. Am I missing something?
Coins enter, exit and reenter stake. Ok, thanks!  As far as I understood it depends also on how much staking weight you have. It seems there are lots of people staking on the network right now. And yes, volume is holding. There are probably many people waiting silently in the shadows. Someone would call them hyenas |

Bitcoin is here to give me financial freedom hence the governement does not have any jurisdiction over my coins.
Bitcoin are issued by us, we mine them, we produce them.
I will not give up on my privacy

I mean it's a bit little, isn't it? Even the worst alternative coin on this forum has its own blockchain secure messaging system. So even the worst developer around could do this. Come on Big Russian Bear, do as something better. Like a space rocket blockchain controlled maybe  |

Good morning (or should I say afternoon?) Bitcoinland. Pretty much the same as yesterday.  Calm before what kind of storm? Evening Jimbo, yes maybe it is quite before the storm. And the forecast tells that, at least, there's a storm coming which is called halving. Something is going to happen, I don't believe this trading volume will happen much longer |

I'm so glad Britain has voted to leave! We're not going to be subject to this idiocy any more.
I was going to write the same. London and the UK will still continue to be the best hub for innovation if this is what the European Union wants to do. |

I lost my bet on which team was going to win euro 2016. I put 0.1BTC on Italy because after the first game with Belgium I supposed they could make it. I've never seen such idiotics penalty kicks

Wales - Portugal would be my preferred pick for an unforgettable final match for this Euro 2016 although is almost impossible for these two teams to reach the final when playing against Germany and France.
But dreaming is free

I just hope they did not put any money into the smart contract: they might end up losing everything like The DAO. Very eccentric use case to say the least. I wonder if they put a rule like : "if he/she leaves me, kill him/her" |

Here is the latest fashion thing: to create a blockchain whatever consortium. Playing around with permissioned ledgers will bring you nowhere.
Permissioned ledgers are simply DATABASE, nothing else. Calling them differently will not make them differently

I have a friend who eventually made it, one who I admire greatly who is also a member here but that I will not publicly mention.
He's one of the best freelancer graphic designers I know and I hope he will continue being so.
So, yes, for some going all in on BTC is definitely possible.
Well if he has a good skill it can be live and full time in bitcoin but how about for members here without skills.. its impossible that he can make full time in bitcoin live with his family. also unless if this person has no family and he just living with him self.. It can be done but its it worth it ? I honestly do not think its worth go full time into the bitcoin. If you have a well payed job you are just throwing everything away and that is just stupid. Your comment just does not make sense to me. My friend is actually living with bitcoins. If you have a well payed job you are just throwing everything away and that is just stupid. So what's the matter? Bitcoins are very handy today. It's not 2011 anymore. |

Over 700$ should honey and sweets only. The halving is coming and maybe these calm waters are the natural quite pattern before the storm. And look I am not seaying it's going to be a bad storm  |

I voted Portugal to win the Euro 2016 against Germany.
I think it's going to be super hard but I really hope that this Germany does not win the championship. They should have gone out with Italy.
So, go on Portugal.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Up a little since yesterday I see.  Back over $700 soon? Soon? Maybe not. At this stage the halving will tell. It is an important step in the Bitcoin journey. I personally will wait for miners reaction to make any move: in the end are going to lose the most out of that (unless, of course, price will skyrocket...) |

Germany will kick out everyone in their line.... they are superior soccer players. there is no single team that could beat Germany. This will hold up for some decades.... they will now win every Euro and World championship for a few decades. You can safely bet on them.
They were just lucky against Italy, they should have lost that match. The Italians did so bad mistakes on penalty kicks otherwise today we where looking at a different story. |

Writing smart contracts is inherently not 'natural' software development similar to how writing legal contracts are not 'natural' prose. The requirements and implications are quite different.Often the "simply written" smart contracts are grievously insecure-- I guess you could say that they're not that smart. I would agree that the amount of effort required in order to get such things written and working "as expected" is far from trivial (even with such a tiny program such as the Crowdfund example I posted). However it really isn't that much different to writing critical code for other things (such as medical equipment or software for spaceships) so I don't think it is without precedent (but is perhaps quite alien to the vast majority of programmers). Rushing into writing complex "smart contracts" (and putting them in charge of millions of dollars worth of tokens) is not a good idea. This is a new and emerging field that is most likely only going to improve through a lot of unfortunate mistakes.Exactly. But this is where we are now: a lot of money has been put into the big "blockchain" pot. Who put that money wants results sooner rather than later and there it goes the lack studying and preparation. I want to stress my point of view that you can easily find somewhere else: we can not allow any smart contract to rule anything that is subject to so much discretionality. |

I doubt this game is a coincidence, but it's probably like the calculus, discovered at the same time in different places; I guess lots of people had been working on these problems. When an idea's ready to be born, it will squeeze its way into the world any which way it can. https://soundcloud.com/listentothispodcast/findsatoshiAbsolutely...that is basically how it happened. However, in this case, research was covertly being conducted to take advantage of the wisdom of the masses without the masses knowing that they were contributing to a larger project. So, what appeared to be a game was really a concerted effort to mine "brain power" to solve contemporary problems associated with distributed networking. It's no coincidence that the game was ended before the last solvable puzzle was completed. Nor is it a coincidence that the last solvable puzzle was card #256 (allusion to a newly standardized 256 bit hashing algorithm?) which was captioned, "find me" and who's clue was, "I am Satoshi!" Do you mean to say that this game contained the actual cryptographic problems needed to be solved for Bitcoin? And that they were solved this way? What cards were they?  I just meant that Satoshi was probably familiar with the game. Yes.... http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14122Read thru that thread....realize, though, that forum was just one of many venues where this problem was being worked out. Bitcoin hadn't been created yet....but this game "perplexcity" went dark right in the middle of solving card 251, just prior to the publication of the original white paper.....many references to the development of the ledger has been pruned, decommissioned, or diluted....the development of the ledger system made a brute force attempt more efficient because it distributed a record of the eliminated attempts and allowed a client to access and append to the ledger across the network. ..<----Turn that function around and there's part of the solution to the double spend problem which plagued many decentralized digital cash proposals.... My friend I must admit that your explanation sounds so fascinating. I do not believe that those coincidences are not connected, they simply are. The #256 card as the algorithm is simply mindblowing. The timing tells more than it says, definitely |

That's a bad idea. There's a sneaky business in those services, but I've always thought the anonimity methods are there for the privacy minded bitcoin users.
What do you mean by a sneaky business? In VPNs, you mean? Or in survey websites? Obviously we would only acquire survey responses anonymously, and only ask for a withdraw address for a prize draw/few satoshis reward. I mean even though, as you say, it is some kind of anonymously collected data, I would not like to using it. Not even for a prize reward. I simply do not like the idea, but that's my view regarding it. Nothing major [...] Yes, I do get your point and I understand it. My criticism is related solely to what you pointed out. I'll give a look at your landing page when I can and see what it brings. |

Bitcoin is not popular as it should really be, yet. It's a matter of time: when it becomes increasingly user-friendly even for the average person well then we will see what it means to have a popular app in our hands.
