Are boxes guaranteed to have a minimum value or something?

Also would it be possible to specify a certain category of things that i would like from the box and get random stuff within that category that i chose? This way people wouldn't need to end up with a bunch of accessories they don't need.

Really wondering whether i should go for one right now. This is pretty interesting Smiley
4382  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: nitrogen sports WHAT DO YOU THINK on: November 10, 2017, 10:39:40 PM
I honestly can't tell whether OP is serious about people being nitrogen shills or he's just mad because he lost money. I still do not understand what exactly his problems are with nitrogen, but seems like he's claiming that Nitrogen just flat out did an automatic bet without his consent?

Why exactly would nitrogen do this? To scam 1 BTC off you? When they spent way more on advertising alone?

Either you bet accidentally, or you're just salty that you lost. Oh wait... Am i a nitrogen shill as well? Roll Eyes
4383  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Connect Coin @ connect-coin.com IS A FUCKIN SCAM !!! on: November 10, 2017, 10:35:37 PM
Obvious scam but these days people seem to not be able to do a simple image search that would lead to the obvious conclusions that you've drawn, and when they do get scammed they complain about all ICOs being scams.

If your entire project is made up of fake people, then no way is it going to be successful.

Their mission statement is as vague as it can be:

Quote

Connect is peer-to- peer decentralised blockchain based cryptocurrency that integrates popular feature of e-commerce marketplacefor B2B and B2C connections across the world. The platform is designed to minimize the friction between shopper, retailer and customer, while allowing any type of market experience to flourish.

Virustotal scan comes back as being infected so that is an obvious warning sign there. Also bitcoin gold hasn't even got an official wallet and hasn't even launched yet, i don't know why people think that this guy would have a working wallet.

He should get negged by a DT2 member as soon as possible so that nobody else falls for his scam.

His post history is just entirely spamming his "electrum gold" scam.

So basically you are saying that we're only guaranteed to get 70% of what we loan you? And the rest will depend on how successful whatever ICO you are running is going to be. This is not a very good promise for anyone.

If you want a straightforward deal i can loan you for your 100oz of silver, that is authenticated by a trusted third party on forum.

But i honestly don't want anything to do with the token, BTC payback only.
4386  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin energy consumption - unsustainable? on: November 09, 2017, 07:55:21 AM
Currently, bitcoin network consumes 26 TWh a year or 250 kWh per single transaction and is growing at a rate of over 1% daily (according to this website https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption.)


250 kwh (single transaction!) is now roughly the same to to what an average home/household uses in a month.

Is this really sustainable?

If bitcoin should grow even more, how much power will be used just to run it?

The most surprising stat here isn't really the twh or whatever but rather the 1% growth that is alarming. Right now it's still not an issue because of the fact that bitcoin is still in its early adoption phases, but it's definitely not going to be sustainable if bitcoin goes mainstream.

This has been discussed before but with no avail. The first PoS coin PPC has much decreased adoption, though, which probably means that right now, people don't sense the urgency.

Hopefully, we'll figure this out soon as a community.
4387  Economy / Speculation / Re: SegWit2x is DEAD! Bitcoin to the Moon! on: November 09, 2017, 07:45:54 AM
I came across a link declaring the cancellation of the hardfork this mid November earlier and this is a great news. Not worrying about the fork will make people buy and hold Bitcoins without having any doubts about what will happen before and after the fork. Bitcoin wins again  Cheesy So Perhaps we can see Bitcoin on 10,000 USD sooner than we thought? Grin

https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x/2017-November/000685.html

Well whatever the consequences of this botched fork has on bitcoin in the long term really has no affect on the short term pricing which i think will continue to skyrocket for the moment being anyways. The price should easily reach $10k by year end.

Thing is, this botched fork at least gives investors more room to work with in terms of buying. Otherwise they feel pressured since the network will be divided or whatnot.

The bull trend should last until the next fork announcement comes out.
4388  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin drop hard? I am waiting to buy it. on: November 09, 2017, 07:35:22 AM
Will bitcoin drop hard? I am waiting to buy it.

I am thinking sell now 7280$  and buy back at 6700- 6900$. How do think about this strategy?

many peoples believe it will drop hard to 6500$-7000$



There will always be a time where bitcoin's demand is smaller than usual.

The time will come, even though right now it seems like that it'll be an eternity since it comes. It's almost scary how fast people's perception changes towards something and how fast they start panicking over the situation.

Have a buy target for yourself, once it hits, buy it straightaway. For now i can see a few more pumps before a dump.
4389  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: bit-keys.com is SCAM, beware on: November 09, 2017, 06:49:36 AM
They are not active that's all i know. By using them you are essentially taking on a huge risk and it's unnecessary since you could easily get the same thing through p2p trading or otherwise(with escrow protection).

Multiple scam accusations previously, that were eventually resolved: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1610533.0, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1903435.0, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1805191.0.

Hopefully you'll get refunded/given the keys in the end.
4390  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: HashFlare.io gone out of there mind on: November 09, 2017, 06:33:06 AM
Well this is definitely fishy as hell here. Combined with their not so great reputation that stems from their customers not trusting them from previous incidents it's not great news for the company at the moment.

Would really recommend nobody buying into any contracts right now if they have shown the ability and willingness to basically defraud and delay withdrawals by all means possible and cut on costs. It's not professional and it's not moral.
4391  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitsler.com scam? Blocking tip on: November 09, 2017, 06:07:01 AM
Most likely because there is suspicion of you faucet farming or abusing their policy of having a maximum number of accounts. Why did the person mentioned here tip you in the first place? Any particular reason?

PM baryom on forum if you still can't get anything sorted.

But trust me they are legit. Been operational since early 2016.
4392  Economy / Lending / Re: 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ zazarb's Quick-Loans & Escrow 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ on: November 07, 2017, 10:14:43 AM
zazarb you should probably update the OP to show that the old address you used is no longer accepted as a repayment address, otherwise people may be confused since in OP it says that you should always be sending to x address but then when they actually get a loan they get two pieces of conflicting info.

Just a heads up to avoid future confusions in loan repayment.

"YassinBTC" tried to scam me with the same strategy. He's not tagged yet so if lauda can tag him, that would be great.

Have to say, they are behaving like alts. I wouldn't be surprised if yassinBTC was an alt of prospectorPR since they both scam in the same way, both use whatsapp to communicate with their victims and just talk in the same fashion.

Always check the smart contract address. See if it is legit or just a random token created out of nowhere.
4394  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: benshawportfolio scam fraud developer on: November 04, 2017, 05:40:26 AM
OP, hopefully the developer in question can refund you.

If not then you'll be forced to take legal action, which anyone obviously wouldn't want to do unless forced to, since it is a tedious process to go through just for something petty compared to the other fraudsters.

It's fair to say that OP has the most reasonable case, unless the dev comes out with his side of the story with fully backed proof. At least you only sent 50% instead of losing everything, op.
4395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Bubbled Many Times on: November 04, 2017, 05:00:29 AM
Right now we're right on cue to hit $10k this year.

We shouldn't care about what other people say about bitcoin. That after all, is their opinion and by no means definitive of what bitcoin truly is and how it will perform in the future. It is at the end their source of income, to write articles like they do about BTC.

It's quite a simple phenomenon. Each time btc gets pumped, there will be a dump following it as a correction. Price doesn't keep on increasing, there are breaks in between.
4396  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fake ERC20 token on: October 31, 2017, 07:20:45 PM
Not fake erc20 token, but this is fake Eidoo token indeed.
Proof of Payment: N/A but here's the fake token transfer: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xdf5b7dcc6523ebf64b01ddfd23608cace84a8891f5552532abf728e9de8886ef
PM/Chat Logs: will provide if really needed but it's an obvious case and since all communications are done on phone, not bothered to screenshot right now
I believe you but i also think you should post screenshot as evidence.
Be careful with these fake ERC20 tokens used as collateral.
...and always check smart contract address.

Yeah i did that and saw the scam coming, that's why i didn't send him anything.

This user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1008125 seems to have come out and done the same thing, requesting a loan for 1-2 days with EIDOO as collateral. this time though, someone got scammed i think.

Judging by the feedback dkpp gave, he got scammed 0.12 BTC from that user. Highly likely these 2 accounts are alts.

I require a loan of 0.63BTC for a period of 2 Days.
I am willing to put up collateral as Eidoo token which amounts the value of 0.882BTC. ( 2410 EDO Tokens )
Collateral will be held in Escrow if you are not a trusted member, if you are trusted then i can directly handover collateral to you.
Loan i require is for trading, i have got some awesome signal for today.

Value and Evaluation of EDO:

I'm interested in filling your request and i have done loans before with and without collateral.

If we could discuss in PM about how much interest is charged through the 2 day period then it would be nice. I'll message you now as well so just watch out for a message in your PM inbox. Thanks.
4399  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin from $6000 to $5500 on: October 29, 2017, 07:55:52 AM
I just checked poloniex today and btcprice went don't to $5506.28 so that would be -$500 dive. Is this because of the upcoming fork? Can somebody enlighten me what could be causing this?

Whenever a pump takes over, there will always be a correction. It has always been this way and there is absolutely no way that bitcoin's price can keep growing just without stop, it's just not going to happen.

Also, bitcoin gold was priced into bitcoin already in my opinion.

When the snapshot was taken, the price was taken out of bitcoin essentially. But it has now recovered to around $5800 again.
4400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Minimum fee to transfer bitcoin on: October 29, 2017, 07:46:05 AM
Hi, some of my BTC are on Armory on my old computer.

I want to move those bitcoin to my new computer on Exodus this time (I don't want to run a node on my new computer).

The fees to make the transfer are 0.005848 which is way too high for transferring money from one pocket to another.

What is the cheapest way to move bitcoin from a wallet to another wallet?

Thanks!




If you are asked to pay that much fees then it usually means that your transaction size is big, which is either a result of too many outputs/inputs or both. You can't really do anything about it if it's inputs.

However, what you can do is take a risk and create a transaction with low fees(perhaps 0.001 BTC fee) and then paying $4-10 for an acceleration.

At current btc prices, this is still a good deal. However, your acceleration may not succeed.
