461  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: how does one sell their btc in a country where it's illegal ? on: December 17, 2017, 08:29:51 PM
The owner of the largest public torrent site called kickass got tracked because he used a coinbase address to accept donations so don't ever use any decentralized wallet or exchange where you have submitted lot's of your personal documents.

Second, Use TOR (You can find lots of tutorials over the net) or a logless vpn (Your vpn provider should be trusted)

Third, I recommend using a P2P trading platform prefferably like this forum with the use of an escrow. Here's the Currency Exchange board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

Lastly, Once the buyer received the coins, ask him to use a coin mixing service to conceal its trails. I suggest using https://chipmixer.com where you get to pay want you want.

this is great advice not just for the OP but for everyone.
as countries start waking up to decentralised crypto they will be looking to get their share of tax so this is good advice.

So the bubble has burst and is being blown up again.
bitcoin has gone from the FUD rusulting in the fall last week to the FOMO helping the price rise.
bitcoins price is almost up to the price it was at last week.
463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does it make any sense to buy Bitcoin now? on: December 15, 2017, 10:09:02 AM
when bitcoin was 8000$ people were asking if it was too late to buy and look where we are now.
this is my assessment:
POSITIVES: limited supply, greatest market cap, more and more adoption including futures traders
NEGATIVES: expensive to transfer, slow transactions, overloaded network
i would invest half you proposed amount and decide on the other half over the course of the next 2 weeks when you see what way the market goes.

maybe you can use some exchange. I believe they will support bitcoin gold. check out bittrex as I remember they support btg first

I cannot really understand why so many talks about Bitcoin Gold. This fork don’t show high results. Of course it is stable but this is not a benefit at the time when Bitcoin itself are making price records.

Many people can't afford a full bitcoin. Bitcoin Gold with its GPU mining will be the next big thing. Right now prices are a bit low for profitable mining. But as soon as price starts to rise and become stable. BTG will be one of the coins of choice. The team is really putting in great efforts to see this coin thru. More and More exchanges are adding it and in a few days will be added to one of the biggest Asian exchanges. Keep doubting BTG and miss out!
this is good news about the addition to more exchanges.
I have to say though the price is very stable for the last week or two, hovering between $250 and $320.
The main thing is that is has not tanked and is showing some resilience and support.
This is all good foundation work for 2018.

its fortunate at the moment that the first day of the Pre-Ico Sale
happens to coincide at a time when Ethereum is at a high price.
More tokens for the ETH [+ bonus  Grin]
The good time of crowdsale increases sales.
Apparently the Ethereum has already started falling. Who did not have time to be late.
oooooh as the saying goes "timing is everything". if ethereum keeps falling it will not be beneficial but it will still be higher than it was last week.

Another one news: due to great interest from the Chinese community, but certain local features of access to the Internet, we opened the project page in the QQ chat room. Number of the official group - 679589143. Some new bonuses and referral program are there. Join!
Congratulations. I think with the closeness of the Chinese Internet, your platform can find its users.
Is there any restricted area?  Only China can join on this group? Or another country people also can join??
Probably it's only for the Chinese. I'm not sure.

yes this was for the china market alone because it is a key market at the moment for the project and needs special attention.
467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Electroneum is released on: December 14, 2017, 10:46:39 AM
It is very early dags in electroneums trading life.
At the moment there are the non-believers selling and the believers buying.
There is potential here but currently it is pure turbulance.

it looks like the chinese market will be big for the project as they have a specific bounty in place just for china.
I visited the site to check the countdown and is 18 hours to go.
I copied this information also which is very interesting:
The first platform built with the use of blockchain, smart contracts, TOR.
For a completely anonymous trade of scientific research, development.
Anyone can buy, sell anything that can be represented in digital form.

I think this should interest the Chinese community. Let's see how this will affect Pre-IСO.I hope I manage to successfully startnat.Tem more rather large bonuses are offered.
Yes china is always a big factor and an entity to be considered.
i am thinking that not only is this project relevant to the scientific sector which is mostly thought of as medical related,but also to engineering industries which is a gigantic market.

and for the full 9 days of the ico sale there are bonuses to be had starting with 40%, then 30%, followed then by 20%.

Will the daily pre-ico sale results be viewable?
It will be interesting to see how the progress is for this project.
471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Electroneum is released on: December 13, 2017, 09:22:03 PM

473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins for illegal activity on: December 13, 2017, 05:11:59 PM
Bitcoin is indeed used for illegal activity.
Coins like MOnero, Zcash and Dash are also used because they offer anonymity.
also it must be pointed out FIAT e.g. $'s, £'s, €'s etc. are all used for illegal activities also,
it is human nature
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]-[PRE-ICO] SCICOM 14.12.17 - 25.12.17 REAL SCIENCE FOR REAL $$$ on: December 13, 2017, 03:27:10 PM
This sounds like an interesting project with just over 1 day to go for the pre-ico.
From what i gather there is an existing customer/account in place with this project?

yes there are foundations in place already with ongoing negotiations taking place.

I have pulled this from the website > https://sci-com.com/en/#team

Nowadays several representatives of the fundamental science and the research
centers are involved in the development of the project. There also have been achieved
some agreements about the cooperation with some research institutions including
Nikita Botanical Gardens – National Scientific Centre (NBG-NSC). We also hold the
negotiations with the research communities of all leading research institutions of our country.


yes that is what I saw on the website also.
I assume there are plans in place to expand the project worldwide?
and I take it that anyone can buy the SCICOM token and therefore avail of the project functions
and obviously the 2 parties Buyer and Seller will have to agree to the SCICOM platform
475  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-12-13]Tax Investigators Raid Bitcoin Exchanges Across India on: December 13, 2017, 03:11:20 PM
Not really surprising. Crypto in its entirity is going through significant growth, which is of course something governments want to exploit due to their hunger for tax income and control. All people being fully verified at whatever exchange or service are exposed to this risk, it's that simple. Coinbase has been subject to a similar governmental attack, but they at least managed to minimize the amount of data they had to hand over to the authorities. Decentralized exchanges are available already, but they lack actual usage and convenience, which makes people always fall back on centralized exchanges. If governments don't charge people absurdly high tax rates, people would be far more open to pay tax out of free will rather than being forced to do so.
Regarding tax and India, out of billion + population only 1.5% pay tax. People are manipulating their incomes to escape taxes. In such a situation, government needs to take action. Regarding cryptocurrencies, Indian government and central bank have been wary of bitcoin for a long time now. Where central bank is warning people, government is calling bitcoin illegal. In such a situation, this IT raid was something expected and I hope exchanges will be able to maintain users privacy.

only 1.5% paying tax is a farce, how can a country expect to function properly with such low revenues?
India really seems to br starting a war against Bitcoin and crypto with these extreme actions.
can we expect to see "tax requests and collections" across the world as crypto takes more of a hold i wonder?

477  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Convert your BTC to LTC/ETH ASAP on: December 12, 2017, 05:41:39 PM
DONE, I traded all my LTC and ETH to Bitcoin  Grin

BTC, ETH and LTC all have their own merits, positives and negatives so I think the best advice is to hodl 2 or more currencies/coins/tokens
and not to throw everything into the single basket.
478  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW FORK on: December 12, 2017, 05:33:16 PM
I think you have "Super Bitcoin" in mind! the snapshot for this fork was at 498,888 block height which happened 45 minutes before this comment of mine.

there are more forks to come!

here are those that I know with their block height in front of them. it is starting to look like a bad joke.
Bitcoin God (GOD) = 501,225
Bitcoin Diamond = ?
Bitcoin Platinum = 500,000
Bitcoin Uranium = ?
Bitcoin Cash Plus = 501,407
Bitcoin Silver = ?

p.s. I think Yobit already distributed something which looks to me like Super Bitcoin! because I have a new airdrop added to my balance there.

i knew there was a fork happening soon but  Shocked not this many.
IMO it will get to the stage where people wont take any notice of them and wont even bother claiming the tokens.
short term people will just trade the tokens.
it is a bit of a joke really and might be a scam.
479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens After 21 Million Coins Mined? on: December 12, 2017, 05:24:07 PM
Well the last coin is supposed to be mined sometime in 2140 an I'm fairly certain that bitcoin will not be around by then. Who knows what sort of world we will be living in, in 2140. So whenever this question is asked, my go-to response is that it's useless to think about it, since no one knows what 2140 will be like.

Very good response!
it is useless to think about it but yes as mentioned the mining which may be different to now will be fee based.
actually think about the computing power which will be available in 2140 ...
hopefully bitcoin transactions will grow in tandem so there will still be an "unconfirmed transactions" list for them to deal with  Grin
480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why we shouldn't look at $ value but satoshis? on: December 12, 2017, 04:55:33 PM
good question!
what we need to realise is that 1BTC today is still the same single bitcoin mined in 2010.
to me the current mindset among crypto people is really about $'s but it is based on how much BTC i can get for my $,
its a bit like chicken and egg, we are so focused on the $ price of BTC purely because most of us have to buy it.
i'm sure miners or people who earn solely through BTC dont worry too much about the day to day value because 1BTC is always 1BTC
