421  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favourite dice site for profit on: June 15, 2017, 09:59:08 AM
Simple poll vote to find out other peoples opinion on the most profitable dice sites

Most profitable in terms of theory is definitely not any of the casinos that are listed above. I would have gone with 999dice however they do have allegations that say they rig they games and makes it impossible to blame them when you lose because you have to press reveal client seed or something like that do get your probably fair seeds. The casino that has the lowest house edge and in my experience have generated the most profit for me is crypto games and I'm quite shocked that you haven't listed it in your OP.

Gambling is a -EV game though so in the long run there isn't going to be any profit for you. If you invest in a bankroll however it will mean your investment will carry a +EV which means you are guaranteed to win in the long run. Again, crypto games has shown great results for this as well.

If we believed all you altcoin Fudsters then bitcoin would have already died thousands of times over(and still counting). I don't think she anyone here is dumb enough to believe the crap that comes out of your mouth but I'm just going to put this out there anyways.

All decentralized economies will have some form of scaling issue one way or another. Just a matter of time until a few million people start using it and the network becomes bloated. Transaction fees on Ethereum are not particularly cheap either, in fact probably more expensive than bitcoin.

I've never heard of IOTA until it was listed on coinmarketcap. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to think that IOTA is going to succeed in the future.

It's your money so I don't see any valid reason why they would just confiscate it from you like that you have not done anything wrong, they have done something wrong though by changing their policies without notifying anyone, like magneto said. I believe your story, but instead of copy pasting it would bring more credibility to your case if you could take a screenshot.

$200 is no joking matter, might not be the biggest amount but it could make a difference to ones life. I suggest you go to their thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418700.0 and write your complaint with all your proof on it. Then PM the C-cex admin on this forum about it because he will likely be negged on the forum if he didn't resolve your issue and thus giving you more chance of getting your money back.
424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not in a bubble. people are using it to park their dollars. on: June 15, 2017, 08:23:01 AM
The price of bitcoin isnt that high anyways, long term wise, 2400 USD per coin is going to be a steal to buy. He has some good points in that piece. I think that a lot of people, including me are indeed using bitcoin as a long term storage for my wealth, because fiats are not going to survive and we all know that.

 However, short term wise I don't think that this pump and dump can be justified purely because of people parking their money in bitcoin just like property. The pump has just been way too crazy to be any sustainable. If people park their money into bitcoin it will bring a rise in demand but won't be this sort of magnitude. There was a small bubble and when it burst the price of bitcoin became 500 USD cheaper.

But this correction seems to be ending right now, and would be a great time for anyone seeking to buy into bitcoin
425  Economy / Economics / Re: Spain's banking crisis flared up again on: June 14, 2017, 10:02:44 AM
...

I believe mindrust has explained the problems of European banks well.

We are in Italy now on a visit.  The whole economy seems to be going down for the count.  My wife's friend here (N. Italy) is somewhat wealthy and well-connected, yet is very pessimistic even in the "wealthy part of Italy.

The lack of action re illegal immigration might wind up being what finally kills off the European economy (above and beyond the banking discipline problems mindrust mentioned).  Very sad.

Good to hear that you've got first hand evidence of what we're talking about here. It's not just talk, it's real, effecting people's lives.

I really wouldn't be very surprised at all if the whole Europe zone except for the few strong economies out there just collapsed over the next few years and end up just like Greece, in deep debt, everyone panicking on the streets, infrustructure failing.

When there are booms there will be busts. That's how central banking works.

Another reason to decentralize things, instead of having these boom-bust cycles all the time.
426  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can cryptocurrency make real money disappear? on: June 14, 2017, 08:42:35 AM
I'm not sure cryptocurrency will make dissapear money real, this is because the users real money will always be greater than the cryptocurrency that it took a very long time.

This is false.

Fiat currency has never been around long if you look at the history of mankind. Only around 14th, 15th century did fiat currency appear and it was definitely a mistake for whoever invented it to invent it. I believe he was trying to pay off France's debts(hmm sounds very familiar to how things are going nowadays, i wonder where this is going to end up Roll Eyes).

It is most likely that fiat currencies are going to collapse. When exactly, nobody knows. But it will happen. When people are panicking they will look at alternatives. The main alternatives are precious metals and in my opinion, cryptocurrencies. Due to bitcoin's fast transaction speed and low transaction costs, i believe it's going to be the successful competitor here.
427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It cost me $2 + 12 hours to send $25 in BTC now on: June 14, 2017, 07:05:36 AM
Still no one on the dev team considers this an issue?

I have sent multiple $20 transactions all with high fee ALONG WITH high confirm times..

Blockchain.info now has 2 different fee modes to send, both of which are high.

Ethereum will take over Bitcoin if this keeps up.

If you're not ready to use such high fees then use an altcoin. Steem currently has 0 transaction fees for miners for both Steem and Steem dollars(which is an asset that is pegged thereotically to 1 USD value but can fluctuate wildly depending on market conditions). Dogecoins still has the standard 1 doge transaction fee which is ridiculously cheap right now.

Ethereum itself has a high transaction fee, so i'm not sure why you're suggesting that ethereum will be overtaking bitcoin. Sure, the market capitalization is a close race at the moment, but you have to consider the fact that when Ethereum withdrawal fees on major exchanges are 0.01 ETH and 1 ETH is worth $400, it actually equates to more in transaction fees paid in fiat terms than btc(0.001*2700=$2.7).

You could try paying a lower fee and use a free transaction acceleration service as well, but you'r etaking on a risk here.

What are the chances of living in a world with no actual money ?  Shocked

You're getting "actual money" and "real money" mixed up with fiat currency.

Money is a store of value. Currency is simply a medium of exchange. Money is gold, silver, bitcoin because they have a fixed amount that can ever be produced, either through a limit in code in bitcoin's case or physical limits in gold's and silver's case.

I suggest you watch some of Mike Maloney's content, it is helpful for starters to get a grip on why fiats are not the solution to problems in this world, and rather cryptocurrencies/preciosu metals will. Even though sometimes he advertises his site a bit, his points are good in general.

Bitcoin definitely has the potential to eliminate fiat. However, before this can happen the fiat debt bubble has to collapse. Then, central banks will have no control over the economy and a free market with bitcoin will probably emerge.
429  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reaching 3000 usd after 3 weeks on: June 14, 2017, 06:50:29 AM
Its pretty much a good deal to sale your bitcoin guys once it reach 3k usd for 1 bitcoin, Dont waste the chance to get much money on this.

Why is it a good deal? If it hits 3k USD then it will likely accelerate even further as a whole number has been broken and taht is psychologically important for traders. There is a lot of emotions that is invelved with trading bitcoins. Based on my knowledge/previous experience we have always seen an acceleration of a trend, no matter bearish or bullish, once a round number has been reached.

Bitcoin is indeed priced very reasonable right now, but i don't think that selling it at 3000 will give you the best value for money. Personally i'm going for the long term. Selling for the short term then buying back in at a lower price makes sense on paper but doesn't in practice since the spread and fees will just eat away all teh profits you make. Long term bitcoin has infinite potential, and is a great hedge for fiats.
430  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: After 35 hours and still Unconfirmed bitcoin deposit to my blockchain.info walle on: June 14, 2017, 06:36:48 AM
After 35 hours and still Unconfirmed bitcoin deposit to my blockchain.info wallet after I sweeped the bitcoins I have in my paperwallet which I created on bitaddress.org. 


Hello everyone, this is my first time having a problem with unconfirmed bitcoin transactions!  I hope somebody can help me resolve this issue by sharing their
knowledge and experience and point me in the right direction, thank you so much in advance!

About 35 hours ago, I used the blockchain.info wallet to sweep a bitcoin paper wallet private address where some of my bitcoins were stored! 
(I created the paper wallet address on bitaddress.org., and I have been storing bitcoins like this and sweeping it with blockchain.info wallet for the
past year and a half without ever any problems regarding delayed transactions.)

Anyway, this time after the wallet was successfully sweeped, and the bitcoins were transferred from my paper wallet to my blockchain.info wallet,
it sits indicating as a pending transaction awaiting confirmation.

If I send some of that funds out by setting a higher priority transaction fee, would that help confirm both transactions? 

My paper wallet public key which I sweeped the funds from is:  1EwT9GvF5vvRq4wW1YS1h4cLgJqdEiF4Mg

Please help me check the status, and let me know how I may resolve this unconfirmed transaction asap, thank you so much for your kind assistance!
Dave



You sent with a fee that was way too low. Did you set this fee manually? Because usually blockchain.info sweeps your bitcoin with a reasonable amount of fee that is above 150-200sats/byte meaning that your transaction will confirm within a day. But i've never seen a case where the fees are so low on a priv key sweep.

Check mocacinno's site out, it's extremely informative and helpful.

The best solution right now is to use a transaction accelerator. You could try Antpool's, ViaBTC's, and if neither work within a few days then you may have to pay for your transaction to be confirmed at BTC.com. If you're really technical and into BTC then maybe doublespending it will work, but i haven't tried it and could be potentially risky.
431  Economy / Speculation / Re: hodler/ex-hodler ratio on: June 14, 2017, 06:32:36 AM
I wonder for every lucky current hodler of bitcoins, how many are out there that HAD bitcoins but
-lost them
-spent them
-cashed out way too early
-got goxxed
-got hacked
-blew it on hookers and coke
-lost access
-forgot about them
-have deceased
-"invested" them in scams or in unsuccessful projects
-bought mining equipment that never paid off
-gave them away
-made bad trades (buy high, sell low...)
-lost faith,
-sent them to a wrong address,
-threw away hardware with coins stored
-etc, etc, etc

one of my relatives has lost more than 100 btc. (lost access)
i invested 20 btc in altcoins that went to zero (fuck, I must have found the only ones that did not get pumped.  Tongue), I also made bad trades, got goxxed, bought BFL  Roll Eyes, but all of that combined still did not kill my stash completely.

edit: if you can think of more ways to lose bitcoin than the one I mentioned above, please let me know. I will update the list.

Lost access and throwing away hard drives that contained your wallet files is probably only relevant for very early bitcoin adopters. I think it is currently very rare for anyone to lose access to their bitcoins because they know how valuable it is and why they should back up their wallet.dat files, etc. But yes, it could happen and i would love to hear stories(although tragic) from people that have lost their coins due to this as well.

The most common way people lose their coins is through careless investment or storing their coins on a wallet that they can't access their private keys with. I've lost 5 bitcoins with Mt Gox, and i'm sure most bitcoiners that used bitcoin in 2012-2013 will have lost their coins as well. Other than that, probably only bitfinex hack where i had 0.2 BTC. When i got the BFX tokens i dumped them rightaway for half a dollar each i think, but in the end everything resolved, and i could have gotten some extra btc.
432  Economy / Economics / Re: What don't you like about Banks and Banks controlling your money on: June 14, 2017, 06:20:02 AM
Firsty, them deciding what is suspicious and not suspicious

Not everybody is an employee working for someone. Some people are entrepreneurs, and as an entrepreneur, you can have some HUGE days. I don't need a bank telling me that my successful day where i made $20k+ is suspicious if I want to withdraw all of it. (people have been arrested for making large withdraws before).

Also, banks freely allowing their customers to scam business (via chargeback). Instead of blindly chargingback purchases and screwing over merchants, visa applicants should be required to take a course outlining the risks of credit cards, and Visa should do proper investigations when a chargeback is brought up.

If a tracking number and proof of delivery can be proved, why should the customer be given their money back?

ALSO, i recently looked into banking investment options. It comes across as a way to just make more money off customers. Think of it like this. It's like it's just them taking your money so they can invest it in polyniex. I only tried it out cause my family (who doesn't know about bitcoins) encouraged it.

Do you have any gripes about banks

Banks are essentially controlling your future. They get your deposit and they can do whatever they want with it. if you trade bitcoin with your bank account then i have seen countless occasions where people's accounts are suspended for trading bitcoins in my country, and i would suspect in others too. As you said, they have full discretion as to whether your activity is dodgy or not dodgy.

Central bankers are manipulating the monetary supply, interest rates every day. And you're trusting them to make the right decisions, but most of the times they just f*** up. Think how absurd it woudls be for someone to be able to have a secret way to generate infinite bitcoins? That's what central bankers have in their power.
433  Economy / Speculation / Re: Australia accepting bitcoin and SegWit from 1st of August on: June 14, 2017, 06:07:57 AM
So as we know, Japan accepted and the price jumped to 2500$ and now on first july Australia is accepting bitcoin and from 1st August segwit is implemented (as I've read online). Will we see the $3500 price until september? Will that stabilize the price a little?

As the date of the actual implementation of the law comes we'll probably see a definitive rise in bitcoin price. Right now though it doesn't seem to affect btc value all that much at all, although it is recovering quite well from the crash earlier.

Eh?

As far as I know the only thing that might be changing is Australia taxing Bitcoin sensibly. Before that it had a ludicrous VAT thing.

It's not going to make much difference in the short term but it's all positive.

Yeah, the only thing that has really changed is the 10% GST that was charged on BTC purchases which made a lot of people unable to buy bitcoins because it would put them in the negatives instantly.. When this is gone it'll be easier for Australians to buy and sell BTC without having to worry about tax. Might not be the best policy that could be implemented but it's a step in the right direction.
434  Economy / Economics / Re: If USD falls on: June 14, 2017, 06:05:25 AM
Like many powerful currencies in the past, USD may fall to ground too, my question is will that effect BTC value? Or is it independent of all other real world or non digital currencies of the world?

It will definitely fall. Look at the history of fiat currencies, you will not be able to find any currency that lasted forever. There will be either some sort of misadministration from the government which makes the debt cycle all collapse, or a war that makes the government have to fund their military by printing new money as they can't do so with their existing reserves.

Bitcoin is going to be thriving when this happens. Just like gold and silver were valued and sought after when economic collapses occured in Germany during and after WWI, i suspect bitcoin to act the same way. In fact, i'd bet on bitcoin to outperform gold/silver when USD does fail because it is just a lot more portable and divisible.
435  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [Unofficial] Exodus Wallet | Multi-Currency | Built-in Exchange on: June 14, 2017, 06:02:53 AM
This is definitely one of my favourite wallets to use, just so simple yet so many functions. It's so nice for a wallet to be able to fetch each of the prices of assets you hold for you, and at the same time let you store your own private keys on your own computer. This is the sort of applications that needs to appear more frequently on the market for cryptos to be successful

Is it just me, or is the shapeshift rates significantly better on exodus than on the actual site as well? Maybe it's because transaction fees are mitigated this way?

Does anyone know whether you can send a bitcoin transaction with a custom fee? Curretnly it seems like the fees are a bit steep, or is that per kb?

I'm pretty sure that fees that are shown to you when you go to the send page is per kB. I never really sent bitcoin with Exodus, only Ethereum and XMR so i don't know(for bitcoin i have other wallets). But 0.0038~ BTC per transaction isn't that bad even if it's not per kB, its just how things are atm.
436  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Accidentally sent LTC to BTC address on: June 14, 2017, 05:36:18 AM
Umm, you sent LTC to a BTC address?  Huh

Well, that's new. Did the transaction go through? I am almost 100% sure that the transaction would never go. It would result in an error. Check your original wallet again.

If the transaction did go through..., well like I said that is a first.

This is entirely possible. Litecoin multisig addresses used to start with a 3 just like bitcoin addresses and it's easy to mix it up.

I just accidentally sent some LTC from GDAXX to my Electrum BTC Wallet. Transfer ID is 2615b987-10b5-4a73-9b65-e835e7a43fd0

Any way to recover that?! Thank you!!

It is best to move this thread into the technical support sub-forum because you'll get a lot more knowledgable answers there. I remember though from a long time ago that similar things have happened a lot of people on Bitfinex where they deposited litecoin into a multisig bitcoin address.

In their case bitfinex was able to recover their funds, if bitfinex has a way then you should be able to do it as well. So you have some hope at least Wink
437  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we going to hit 2500 usd ? on: June 13, 2017, 11:09:20 AM
What is your prognostic?

Not likely in the short run, aka a few days.

If there is a bigger correction that is coming then yeah. I don't think that it's going to come though because this one was already pretty major and scared the crap out of a lot of people out there.

The low for this correction was pretty close to $2500 being +- $20. This shows that there is major resistance at that price, people are buying in as soon as the price goes near there making sure that it doesn't crash under that level. Price is already up and stable. I guess we'll just be at around $2700 for the time being, and moving sideways until further notice/big news.
438  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $8 fee? for a $73 transaction? Really what the fuc is going on? on: June 13, 2017, 10:50:48 AM
you currently have 11 unspent transaction outputs in your wallet that you are trying to spend. some of these outputs are as small as 0.00037403BTC.
How did you know that OP has 11 unspent transaction outputs in his wallet?

Anything to do to aviod this?
I will turn my back to Bitcoin if this shit is going on like this.
Try waiting for the correct time where the network isn't that much busy. Yesterday I sent a $50 transaction with a fee of $0.41 and it got confirmed within an hour.

Dunno, but https://blockchain.info/unspent?active=1KzsaffqLuKk81vRKx4bNDAWVYL3NEZMoZ&format=html
It's 11 but i don't see any reasson why is should pay $8 for a transaction.

This shit is too crazy man!

Why the hell do i have to pay that mutch?
I wanna make a payment of $73, fee would be $8.04.
What the hell is going on?

Proof?

Is that coinbase? I know their transaction fees are stupidly insane

No it's blockchain.info!

It's just blockchain congestion mate. It's how things are at the moment.

If you don't feel confortable with paying a $8 fee - don't. Pay a smaller fee and use the Antpool or Viabtc transaction acceleration services which are both free to accelerate your transaction. But this comes with risks, your transaction may never confirm if the transaction accelerators don't work, or you might have to pay more in future to get the same transaction confirmed.

It's fairly standard for each input to cost around 0.001 BTC these days. You must have been away for a long long time because this is barely news by now.
439  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Poloniex isn't being professional at all with me on: June 13, 2017, 09:54:39 AM
it's been a month since I requested the withdrawal , their shitty support haven't responded yet probably they are just ignoring me
at this point I think that Poloniex won't pay me also there is no way for me to contact them or get in touch

beware guys !!

Can you still see your balance? Are the funds still there or have they been moved? I mean I understand if they can't let you trade anymore but how can they just steal your money? You can't be the only one this has happened to! I'm getting everything out of poloniex now. It's time to start looking into decentralized exchanges. I think there are a few being worked on right now. Hopefully this is a thing of the past. So sorry for your huge loss.

previously I was able to log in normally and see my balances , but I couldn't exchange , lend , deposit or withdraw ...etc
now I'm not even able to access poloniex , it's showing that my IP is blocked and that I have to contact support ( same circle  Grin )
so I don't know exactly what's going on , all I know is that poloniex is playing dirty games with me

So they blocked your IP as well? this is absolutely absurd man. They probably don't want you to have proof that you had balance on the site but you took screenshots beforehand which is good. Unfortunately i don't think that contacting support would help, because as you all know poloniex support is probably worse than Yobit right now. I really wonder sometimes whether the moderators that were supposed to turn into extra support crew just all died all of a sudden or something.

are you use margin trading?check net value and must be 0 zero borrow value

nope , at the time they froze my account I had zero active trades on margin and zero active loans so there is no reason for them to not pay me


Care to share with us how much are you trying to withdraw? I've seen big whales taking their money from Poloniex without any issues, and I myself always withdraw low amounts of BTC close to ~$30 (not worth the scam).

So I don't know how much you could be trying to take from the exchange for them not allow you to do so. I know their support sucks but why would they damage their reputation for such low amount of money when they are making tons of cash daily from the trades alone?

I said previously that it's over 3000 USD , can't give accurate numbers or more details cause it would be easier for someone else to claim my funds
yeah I know that my money isn't that much comparing it with other big traders , but as I said it's been a month and they aren't saying a word about it
most likely because I'm Syrian and can't take any legal actions against an American site

3000 USD is a big amount, and you don't deserve to get scammed.

Even though you can't take legal action you can try to help with the lawsuit against them by submitting your proof(which you have plenty of screenshots) at suepoloniex.today. I know you've probably been approached with the site, but i don't think you've visited them yet. It's worth a try, it's free, even if it doesn't pay off it doesn't hurt.
440  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer - mixing reinvented on: June 13, 2017, 09:13:57 AM
Suppose by mistake if we clear the browser cookies after sending coins, is there any way to recover back our coins or it's gone permanently?

I never use any mixing services like this so just want to clarify before sending coins.

To my understanding it is crucial that you don't do that, as you'll have a high probability of losing your coins. It's okay if you do that before you deposit any funds into it but if you already deposited coins into the mixing process then you're screwed.

If you are mixing high amounts then save the link that Chipmixer provides you when you open a new session. That way you're safe. I found though that when you click on the link it redirects to a default link that says session restored(https://chipmixer.com/session/step1), and you can only copy the session link when it's loading. It could be possible that someone copies down the redirected link thinking that they've got down the actual session link and lose btc as a result. So chipmixer, please try to fix this.

Either way, the chance of this happening is very low if you have a good browser installed and a stable connection to the internet. No need to fret too much.
