it probably means that you have already made one transaction previously that is not yet confirmed (in other words it is currently in the mempool). and in your new transaction you are trying to spend the same funds again (same transaction output) or in other words you are attempting to do a double spend.

i just saw the Yobit email to me reminding me about their investbox and the new (stupid) rules of it.
apparently now you have to roll the dice on the coin you invest, 5 times each day in order to get the profit of that day. as if things weren't desperate and shady already.

and we all know that their dice game is not provably fair at all so you might as well give them your money!

are you planning on adding bitcoin cash to your exchange?
it is already listed on most exchanges and has a decent trading volume so far, i'd like to start selling and then trading it on c-cex if possible.
4564  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I Sell or HOLD on: August 21, 2017, 02:37:26 PM
you shouldn't really be asking others to tell you whether to sell or not.

as a trader, you should look at the market and see its movement and which way it is moving, then make a decision based on that and also based on the price you have bought your coins (your entry).
if you are nearing the loss then you should already have a stop loss and should have already sold them.

and in case of altcoins you will be losing precious time by asking around!
4565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 30 % of miners already moved from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash on: August 21, 2017, 02:27:03 PM
this is actually getting pretty interesting!
the blocks on bitcoin cash are being found ridiculously fast. and that shows it is more like a surge of miners who waited this long until the hashrate drops first then start mining it so that they can mine at a lower hashrate and find more blocks.

you know what this means, they are only looking for that 12.5+fee reward to dump.

the more interesting this is to see what will they do after the difficulty went back up again and it stopped being profitable at $500 to mine bitcoin cash.!!
4566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What opinion from people out there or people in your city about bitcoin? on: August 21, 2017, 02:10:25 PM
surprisingly well actually!
i have been seeing a lot of localbitcoins activity, and also i keep seeing a lot of websites being created to act as exchanges for local currency where people can register and buy and sell their bitcoin. but the prices are not good yet, there isn't enough competition yet.
in any case the adoption is widespread.
4567  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone familiar with TETHER?? on: August 19, 2017, 03:46:16 PM
it is not exactly "supported by the USD" that is a common misunderstanding just because the price is always 1 USD. well to be exact it is not even always 1 USD, it is known to drop. and the worst part is they don't even promise the price to be 1 USD!!

as someone said it is more like IOUs.

i personally don't trust it at all, although it is useful from time to time. so i won't just dismiss it completely.
4568  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which sources do you use in order to make a trading decision? and why? on: August 19, 2017, 03:36:13 PM
Hi there
I wonder which sources do you use in order to make a trading decision? and why?
mostly charts because that is all i have ever needed and they give you more information that anything else can.
and then there is news and hype that is in the community. for most altcoins that is almost key in their pump.

Quote
if it's a slack/telegram group it will be great if you will share the name/link to it.
it is a terrible idea. they are never good, they just will fool you into buying something that they have already over bought so that they can dump on you and get rid of their bags.
4569  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we own two bitcoins? on: August 19, 2017, 03:26:07 PM
you have only ONE bitcoin and will always have ONE bitcoin no matter what is going on in the world of cryptocurrencies.

what you additionally have is an airdrop. there are actually a lot of them. at least 8 of them are currently running and you can claim them as long as you (1) hold your private keys (2) had any balance in those addresses prior to certain block heights.

the active airdrops that i can remember are as follows:
BitCore
Byteball
Bitcoin Cash
Stellar
4570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin WILL become one world currency. Matter of when, not if. on: August 19, 2017, 03:05:17 PM
And don't forget that without proper scaling/upgrade, bitcoin will left behind and altcoin could beat bitcoin in technology, community, adaption or how many merchants which accept it.

Nope, I don't see anything beating Bitcoins yet. Bitcoin Cash is the best example and an answer to your statement because BCH, even being in existence is trying to give a hard competition to Bitcoins but hasn't been successful yet as miners are still mining over the Bitcoin network and no matter if BCH goes more profitable on mining, I feel that Bitcoin will still hold the number 1 position forever. Bitcoin is, and will always be the global currency that has removed all the boundaries fiat has stabbed in our lives.

it has nothing to do with what miners do. they do what they do for the profit they can earn. and they choose the most profitable coin to mine, it can be bitcoin cash temporarily too.
bitcoin cash will never succeed because it is not solving anything! the block size increase they did is like a useless band aid they put on 1 MB block to temporarily take over the public opinion.
4571  Economy / Speculation / Re: from $4350 now down to $3860 per BTC.. what is your prediction ? on: August 19, 2017, 02:59:12 PM
from $4350 now down to $3860 per BTC.. what is your prediction ?

and i also read an article bout BTC that they will dump it to 3600 and pump to 4500 is this correct ? well what ever happen all i want to see  bitcoin goes up  to 4500 or even 5000 because i bought BTC for investment

if articles were true bitcoin price would have been $10,000 back in 2014 because they were saying it will get there then.

and the only thing i have to say to this is that i am sad because i never placed any buy orders at those prices and now i have missed the chance to buy cheap bitcoin from newbie panic sellers as price is currently above $4000 once more Sad
4572  Economy / Economics / Re: BCC more profitable to mine on: August 18, 2017, 02:39:31 PM
that is only because of the recent pump that whales did in the past 30 hours (about 82% pumped) combined with the fact that they manually changed the difficulty and reduced it a lot.

but you still need a large investment in ASICs for mining, a cheap electricity, a place to run a mining farm or at least a couple of these to produce enough hashrate and the willingness to take the risk of doing it because you can not spend a coinbase transaction (the mining reward) right away. it needs to mature and price of BCC is very unstable.
4573  Economy / Speculation / Re: When will it fall? on: August 18, 2017, 02:13:01 PM
It's been on a high lately, and I would've guessed that it would've fell already, but it keeps climbing. When will it fall? When should we sell? Or should we hold through the next fall?
if by fall you mean a correction then it happens 3 days ago. there was a 13.6% correction when you were still in your reverie thinking when will it fall.

if by fall you mean drop hard down to some low price like $1000, or something then it won't happen, don't hold your breath Wink

what comes up must come down.
not necessarily.
as i said a correction happens all the time, it is not called "coming down". it is simply a correction as the name suggests.
what you have in mind is probably a comparison between bitcoin and pumped up altcoins which die after the pump. they are very different. don't be confused.
4574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should focus more on saving bitcoins than selling your bitcoins on: August 18, 2017, 02:06:31 PM
it really depends on what you think of bitcoin. it can be many things at the same time.

for some it is just something they trade. they buy it on each dip and sell on top and make a living out of this. it doesn't matter if price is $4 or $4000 they will make that fiat profit and get out.

for some it is the currency that is decentralized and gives them that financial freedom they want. the fact that nobody can tell you how to spend your money is awesome Cheesy
these don't care about price. it is the utility that is important.
4575  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN = TULIP BULB MANIA? on: August 18, 2017, 01:38:36 PM
https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-tulip-mania-continues-as-bbc-journalist-calls-time-on-bubble
What are your thoughts on this? Will you sell bitcoins because some of the "financial" "Stocks" "experts" says that Bitcoin will just lead on collapse and nowadays bitcoin has been linked to tulip mania? OR do you think this is just a strategy for them to lower the amount of bitcoin so that they can buy bitcoin on lower amount?

The latter sounds more true to me. These are basically strategies of those people who are kind of late into buying more Bitcoin for profits. I think this will not be effective considering that there are already millions who are into bitcoin including rich personalities and businessmen.
Right, they're bulls wearing disguises.  Think about it: Wouldyou, as a journalist,  write an article slamming bitcoin so you could buy in at a lower price?   Not a strategy you'd employ,  nor would it be effective. 

The silver stackers say exactly what you and OP expressed all the time when someone questions the value of their pet metal.

i don't think that everyone who is talking against bitcoin, specially a journalist, is trying to buy bitcoin at lower prices.

this is just a "hot story" for the journalist, nothing more. it brings them more publicity and as they call it a "click bait". right now the price is very high and the chances of a correction is high enough. writing such articles is good timing since people are also looking for such things no matter how right or wrong it is.
4576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people invest in bitcoin? on: August 18, 2017, 01:28:29 PM
The question is simple; Why should people invest on bitcoin?

i say they shouldn't. Shocked
we really don't want more speculators who are only interested in fiat and how much more of it they can gain through bitcoin. and most of them want this to happen overnight!

think about it, what do we really want?
more investors who will dump bitcoin on every turn and short it to make the most or regular users who contribute to the economy by understanding bitcoin as a currency and use it as such or hope to use it because of what it offers while gaining the profit just because they are early adopters.
4577  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it wise to invest 1k into Bitcoin at this point? on: August 16, 2017, 05:08:48 PM
for short term the risks are currently higher since bitcoin price has been rising with little stop so far it may need a longer correction than what we just saw in previous days.

but for long term investment, there is so little to worry about as bitcoin price will rise in long term for sure.
4578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ProtonMail accepts bitcoin on: August 16, 2017, 04:31:02 PM
hmm, this is very strange! i thought they have already been accepting bitcoin payments! i guess i have always seed their donation address here: https://protonmail.com/donate and made the bitcoin donation once so i automatically though they do accept bitcoin payments too!

Now, let's hope that more and more customers would be using their Bitcoin to pay for the service.

the donation address already has received 175BTC Wink
4579  Economy / Speculation / Re: The future of bitcoin in 1 chart on: August 16, 2017, 04:21:55 PM
thanks for sharing this man. this is something that needs to be mentioned that this type of rising and seeing such high prices are not out of ordinary.

and i would like to add 2 things here:
1. this share has gone up $73,800 in its first 8 years
2. today the price went up $1205.00
4580  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will bitcoin go pass the 5000 USD mark? on: August 16, 2017, 04:14:13 PM
your question is wrong.
you should be asking "when" will bitcoin go past $5000 not "will it". it is obvious that some day the price will get there as it was obvious it will get to $1000, then $2000 and so on.
it is the growing adoption that leads to this constant price rise. but since it is a time consuming process, it can take a while before we get there.

good news is $5000 is not that far. and we are on the way up right now.
