What do they think of something like NSA? They know nothing? No one will spend 1 million BTC for an exploit. We don't even know if that is legit.
You clearly haven't even read the post, they were not asking for 1 million in Bitcoin, it was an auction. If they got 1 million BTC in total, they would make those files public.

if too many people is using bitcoin then government will make rules to tax bitcoin transaction and maybe the government will banned bitcoin, but actually now we already pay bitcoin taxes, everytime i exchange my bitcoin in local exchanger they will charge few percent of my bitcoin
I think if the government still forced to give taxes to the bitcoin will not run both because someone could manipulate their bitcoin address because bitcoin is anonymous so that the government will not know if you have a lot of money in another purse? bitcoin tax will not be perfect There is no way the government can track down every bitcoin address and tax them. Their only option is to rely on your honesty that you will declare your bitcoin income correctly. And that is a loophole you can always abuse. That is why government will not support bitcoin, because they cannot control it. yeah it because bitcoin has an anonymous system where no name has been written in each address, so the government will not know if the bitcoin addresses which have very large bitcoin is yours lol. yeah that's probably why until now the government was reluctant to accept bitcoin? And I don't think is the government will regulate and implement taxing bitcoins. Because they are not able to control it and every transaction there is already miners fee and we, bitcoin users are already treating those fee already as the tax that are automatically deducted everytime we are transacting or sending bitcoins. What the heck are you talking about? Mining fees have nothing to do with actual taxes. It's just a fee for the miners, so they can prioritize transactions that have higher fees, in the sense that those get included in the next block faster. And that Bitcoin can survive on fees only after the last block reward is issued. Governments can and will tax you if you trade Bitcoin for fiat, most countries just treat it as another asset. Bitcoin is indeed fairly anonymous, but there are companies that can track transactions, plus every transaction is and stays recorded. Stop spreading this kind of nonsense.

I don't find it interesting and I am afraid that this project will fail hard,who will pay only to be able to browse without ads when he can use a better browser + Adblock for free?Only a few people will do it just to show their support the rest will install it and try to earn a few satoshi using it.
maybe you should check out the project first and then give your opinion against it. this browser is not for paying to visit sites or even getting paid to visit sites. it is one of the smallest features it is offering. the main focus is on blocking all the ads and unwanted scripts that may be running in the background automatically. brave's main focus is to block sites while still paying webmasters.. BUT USERS wont focus on paying to block ads.. theres other tools that do that for free. USERS will focus on getting paid by clicking as many adverts or viewing as many adverts available. this is why brave needs to really work on making it sustainable otherwise it will get abused by USERS I gave the browser a try yesterday night and apparently only the option of depositing money to give away to websites is available at the moment. There isn't a hint of users getting back some revenue from watching 'safe' ads or at least I couldn't find any. I don't think anyone would prefer the Brave browser over a 'normal' browser like Firefox or Chrome etc. Clicking all day on ads in a sub-par browsing experience just to earn a few Satoshis doesn't look attractive to me. Also if users don't want to pay money to the websites the rewards for viewing the sponsored ads will be even lower, right? This has already been mentioned in the thread, I'll post the links again. And I think the goal of this browser is to have an ad free experience and reward the websites by giving them donations. So I would guess that the focus is on providing you with a built in adblocker that's not resource intensive, while also supporting publishers. Revenue sharing with users is NOT yet implemented https://blog.brave.com/introducing-brave-payments/https://www.brave.com/Payments_FAQ.htmlUser 'Pursuer' has already posted this in this on page 2 of this thread.

Miners are getting greedy.
This has nothing to do with the miners, ergo they are not getting greedy. Please don't post misleading information. Hello! Okay so I had to do a few transactions from my Blockchain wallet to some other wallets, and I have a question: as soon as I send an amount of money, it requires me to send a fee of 0.008BTC. Is this even normal?
1) Stop using such a stupid wallet. 2) The fee is dependant on the wallet + the transaction size. 3) The fee should be displayed in satoshis/byte for accurate representation (which lets us determine whether it was too high or not. 4) Look at 1. I really think it's just a typo, 0.008 BTC fees is just ridiculous. I use blockchain.info daily and have never encountered such high fees. 0.0008 BTC on the other hand is happening more frequently, but you can change it with 'advanced send'.

I had around 5 BTC back then and I used them to buy a phone and some hardware to build my computer. I also cashed out a little bit, but most I spent just on buying stuff

i think i can use it for building gpu rig, with 3btc i can made arround 0.4btc permonth so in 1year i can get ROI
Really ? building GPU rig is not that more profitable now a days even you have lots of bitcoins you need to make more reliable when you have lots of bitcoins and building is not enough to earn because there are somuch problem first the electricity that you could use too you cant sure the ROI. in a year Whether that would be profitable really depends on a lot of factors. If you have free electricity or happen to start mining a new altcoin that grows really big over time, then you could easily get a decent return on your initial investment.

In the future, more and more online transactions using bitcoin as more and more online merchants can accept bitcoin payments but until whenever, can never replace the original money because the value of bitcoin is also based on the value of real money.
How is the value of Bitcoin based on the value of real money? Isn't the value based on the demand of Bitcoin? And I really think it can replace fiat currency, maybe not in the near future, but in the long term it certainly can.

Betking bankroll must be very happy, days ago one whale lost 1 thousand btc there... Villa void. Lambo void. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) yeah, i saw that too. it is so rare thing to happen in casinos. and to be totally honest, i can not believe that is true. because the person who lost that much bitcoin had such an strange betting history and only lost that much money in a couple of days and i don't think anybody is that stupid to lose 1000 bitcoin. Stuff like that does happen, if you're a whale and you're really addicted, it's only a matter of time before you lose big. Especially when you're playing every day for months at a time.

it seems like multiple Bitcoin related sites have been under DDOS and being blackmailed to make it stop.
I'm not aware of any requests for ransom. It seems there are other motives behind it, if any. I hope they will just give up after a few days
The attack already slowed down. I do hope that you can get these DDOS attacks sorted out soon, still having trouble connecting to the website. Even on a different computer/connection, still going really slow.
We're about to roll out an update with a few adjustments and improvements, maybe that helps. As I can see, things are back to normal for most users, sorry to hear you'Re amongst the few which still have troubles to cope up with. Seems to be working fine now, might have been my internet connection that was causing it. And that's strange that they're not asking for any ransom, what's the point of doing a DDOS then? Maybe competition, but yeah best not go full conspiracy mode here..

how the hell do you send bitcoin without paying tx fee when its automatically being deducted?
Most desktop wallets do have an option for paying without adding a fee, I think it's even possible on Blockchain.info when you use the advanced send.

Uhuh when the words delivered is too good to be true then have doubt in it. As qouted, they really make their website beautiful and very professional so people will be enticed into investing them. Aside from website, there is this promised of big return, well we can avoid it by doing the math. If the promised profit seems impossible to meet then it is most likely a scam company.
But sometimes people wants a fast money without doing nothing especially those lazy people. Actually there will be no scam if people tend to not fall easily in those high returns promises in just a short period of time. Not all scams are so easily spotted, something could very well start out as a legitimate service and then turn scam after a while. I do agree that it would be better if people would be less naive, but even if everyone did practice due diligence, there would still be scammers who would just up their game.

1000 bitcoin is so much amount, i think you can find developer or even working script for around 10 bitcoin and than hire few devs and beta testers with reward which may cost you another 10 bitcoin at max. And if you can continue advertising your trading platform over few months in few bitcoin related magazine, blogs and in this forum which may cost you around 50 to 100 bitcoin. So in total less than 150 bitcoin you will have good number of regular traders and if you can provide good security over users fund with constant monitoring by hired security experts you may even overtake poloniex like established trading platform within few years. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I think you're vastly underestimating the costs if you want things done seriously. Also you really need some better advice than you will find here on this forum.

I can't take my eyes off the animations, your business flew past me. Sorry. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Yeah those diamonds were a bad call to add in this thread, especially because the website itself does look quite nice.

I would rather have privacy over ease of use, I think privacy is really undervalued by a lot of people. Not because I'd have something illegal in mind, well nothing too illegal

Most people would just switch to an altcoin and this kind of question has been asked a lot. I would personally also just switch to an altcoin that looks interesting and in the end, nothing would change.
There would be another forum dedicated to that coin and people would still be participating in sig campaigns if they were still allowed.

Is there a way to determine the number of people who are actually using Bitcoin till date? Who would have access to such information? Meaning a way to find out, how many new people have used Bitcoin in 2016 , so that we can say exponential growth is natural not artificially created by hoarders.
I think to determine the actual number of people using bitcoin is can be found in the exchange platform, or in the blockchain. But not precise count I think. You'd just be looking at the amount of wallets then and not taking into account people who have more than one. It's pretty much impossible to come up with a correct number of users, but here's an article that might be helpful. http://www.coindesk.com/2016-bitcoin-challenge-100-million-users/

I've been using videobitcoincasino slots but i've been having HORRIBLE luck there so i'm looking for a new site to play on
I've not had much luck there either recently, while being very lucky there in the past, since I've won the progressive jackpot a couple of times. I've mostly switched over to Fortunejacks slots and thinking about playing some more over at Crypto-Games. But the Crypto-Games slots are pretty simple.

i really like this website first of all the dashboard is friendly users for new gamblers easy to use. second this game is so insane when you got a lot of wins
this is the best faucet/dice out there. since it really gives out free money that you can use ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Wouldn't call it the best, since they have a really high house edge. But I've got to admit that the lottery system is pretty nice, even though you have a really low chance to win, just like the real lottery

There are alot of safe ways to gain bitcoin but safe means slow of course cause else there wouldn't be any risk reward measurement. The most safe way is probably by enrolling into a forum signature campaign, they pay out weekly and all have their own specific rules, nothing too difficult to understand.
By growing he probably means investing somewhere and then they should grow gradually and for that there are things like trading or casino bankrolls etc, if he is also talking about ways of earning then yes, signature campaigns can be the safest if someone learns all about them and knows something about bitcoin. If we think of safest way to grow bitcoins then it can be done only with signature campaign as you will be paid regularly for the work that you have done, so you can treat it as a regular part time salary. I wouldn't consider signature campaigns as a safe way to grow your Bitcoins, it's a way to earn more Bitcoins, not grow them. Only way to grow them is by investing them. And that's never 100% safe.
