The Wirex Visa debit card (topic of the article) is issued by Wavecrest Holdings, a company/bank which provides the cards used by most of Wirex's competitors also. Wavecrest Holdings changed its policies recently and withdrew service on its prepaid Visa cards to most people outside Europe. If you live in Europe or a few other places, then the Wirex service might be very useful for you if fiat is required by the merchants you deal with. If you live elsewhere (most of the planet), then Wavecrest has just made things harder for you and the card stops working on October 15th. Wavecrest allegedly was required to make its policy change because of government kyc aml requirements, so "it's for your own good" blah blah. From the Wirex site: "Wirex Visa® Prepaid Card is issued by WaveCrest Holdings Limited, pursuant to license from Visa Europe." https://wirexapp.com/card/Because of this development, the article headline "40 Million Stores Worldwide" has become rather misleading, although it is still true if, for example, you live in Europe and use your debit card while traveling abroad. This situation applies to almost all the debit card providers now, not just Wirex. There are various threads on bct discussing it. I'm guessing it's a temporary setback, but it's very real for now. Read the boilerplate fine print to avoid disappointment.  Bitcoin or Dash debit card make it easier to spend these digital currency directly to the merchants, but 40 Million stores worldwide; yes seems misleading as it will be depend on what's the provider and which country already supported, like you said, it's useful in Europe and few other places. However, acceptance of cryptocurrency is different in every country and bitcoiners/exchanges or another third platform should works together in order to encourage people to learn about bitcoin advantages and provide-cooperate with merchants to accept bitcoin payment as well. |

Wrong. Contentious attempt to alter existing rules -> you're an altcoin by default. Core does not dictate what is or isn't Bitcoin, and their client banning or not banning some bits does not determine anything either. BTC1 nodes are parasites that will create a very disruptive and damaging network. I've banned all known IPs, but now they've started to cover up that they are actually btc1 nodes by appearing to be the reference client. Garzik is a corrupt and shady individual that can't be trusted anymore.
Thank you for answering, but What kind of act to alter existing rules? Please be specific about they are breaking the rules. I would like to know more about that. What kind of disruptive and damaging? As I know, btc1 nodes has been added to the main GitHub and everyone could test it. Then, there will be testnet before it's launched. Look at their support: over 92% https://coin.dance/blocksAs long as core developers and 2x devs follow the consensus, it's fine I guess. |

lol might be worth you researching and realising the term consensus btc1 wants to use consensus so that the community choose.. its core that want to prevent community choice by CORE.. yes CORE banning nodes and avoiding consensus forming a honest decision on what the community want. again i state it a different way. CORE are the ones creating the altcoin by preventing consensus from finding a single route based on bitcoins built in decentralised decision making process known as consensus(orphaning mechanism)/b]
please learn consensus and realise CORE are avoiding bitcoins built in mechanisms..
this means core are the nasty ones by becoming the centralised decision makers.
really people.. wake up
Marked this one, franky1 was right. I'm a core developers fan, like 1Mb blocksize and segwit implementation even though most platforms/wallets still not support it. But, it's true about core developers were the one who push the limit by reject btc1 nodes, taken some precautions steps to ensure 2x become another altcoin, it's against the rule of consensus, right? |

I noticed that most times when btc is rallying almost all of the altcoins dip. and when there is a crash in btc all altcoins suffer as well. my interpretation is that for the first alts can't sustain the price against the $ if btc is high. and for the second, everyone is panic selling btc.
what do yo guys think ??
If bitcoin price crash, yes, most altcoins will go down as well due to bitcoin has the biggest effect to crypto world. But, if bitcoin on rally, usually altcoins such as ethereum, dash, byteball, bitconnect will follow to rise. In this case, there's a time investors feels it's a good time to invest, and fear if bitcoin price decline and decide to sell off altcoins. That's why there's no altcoins could compare or compete with bitcoin, if bitcoin fail, altcoins will worthless as well. |

Yes, I've tried chipmixer few times and all transactions went smoothly, faster and secure. You can visit https://chipmixer.com/ or click on my signature. There are some features to mix your bitcoin offered by chipmixer team, no need account and you can withdraw the private keys. |

We are back online. Another mixer has sent over 7M requests to our .onion address (and it is not over yet). We have updated our code to mitigate this attack. Now every new session requires solving a captcha (sorry about that), but at least you can access ChipMixer now.
LoL, such annoying attempt from another mixers, some people don't know how to run their business properly and prefer to attack other business. 7M is a big amount imo, and the part of 'not over yet' really have to be solved. I'm okay with solve captcha for every new session, thanks for the update. |

I think it's realistic, today the bitcoin increment is over $ 100, I'm not exactly sure what issues can make bitcoin pump prices up to $ 100, but I think October the highest price is $ 7500.
Exactly, bitcoin price fluctuate within $50-$150 these days, I don't see it going through over $6000 in this month unless bitcoin always increases as much min $100 daily without any decrease more than $50 everyday. Then bitcoin price may reach $5000 by the end of this week. The hot price for everyone, due to ATH always intrigue people to cash out their profits, especially there are some bad news regarding bitcoin acceptance such as recent news in Malaysia. The conclusion is; bitcoin can't reach $7000 in October. |

Any problem with chipmixer site? I can't access it right now.
Well, I'm accessing it through chrome browser, and just got 504 gateway time out.
There's no problem with my connection, or I should access it through tor browser?

Yes, I'm sure bitcoin will be here for the next 10 years. Bitcoin isn't anonymous but it can be, in some ways to make it happen. Why bitcoin hard fork and create another altcoin after Bcash? Bitcoin core developers don't want to hard fork and increase blocksize. This problem about blocksize has been discussed since few years ago https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_size_limit_controversyWe have bitcoin segwit right now, as long as transaction could be confirmed within 10 minutes or less than an hour, it will be fine without increase blocksize. |

Why now? This news published on October 3rd and this exchange hacked since the end of August, maybe they want to cover this problem without any further damage to entire bitcoin environment just like when Bitfinex hacked and lost BTC120,000.
BTC600 is a big amount according to current exchange rate, even though just few customers account got hacked, as long as the users didn't fell to pishing act, it's the exchange responsibility.

Since banks profit from fees and blockchain will kill fees, my guess is banks will be negatively impacted. No, they won't. What do you think how many people are actually using bitcoins? what is a bank? it is just a service that is offered on money. these services are so many different things. such as loans, credit cards, savings account, Checking accounts, other types of account i don't know the name of in English  , Insurance stuff, Mortgages, Safty Deposit boxes, ... banks doesn't have to be affected by bitcoin or bockchain technology. it is just a different form of money! I don't know how it is in other countries but in my country you need bank account to receive salary. I would like to receive my salary directly to my hands and this is not possible because of stupid law. We are actually forced to pay every month few bucks for bank account. So I wouldn't call that "just a service". Yes, People are being forced to pay fees to bank due to their salary distributed through bank accounts, in some cases it's good, but for people who can receive their salary directly from their office, it's ridiculous to pay bank fees. It seems that Government always support bank by issues some regulations about money and salary. There are few banks which want to o already implemented blockchain technology, but I doubt there is no any fees involved, even in bitcoin blockchain still has fees which we pay to the miners. And just like mentioned above, Banks has many different services that allows them to extract fees from their customers. |

is it risky to turn all my money to bitcoins? anyhow this money sits in the bank and do nothing for!
Yes, it's risky, so that I recommend to divide your funds like 80% into bitcoin, and the rest as your backup funds, just in case. As you said this funds just sits in the Bank and do nothing, so it's safe to put it into bitcoin, especially for long term. It's better to keep your funds in bitcoin than put it in bank with all of their interest. I'm sure bitcoin price will reach at least $8000 in the next year, so your funds will be doubled within a year. |

Have filled the survey questions, and you may find a way to predict bitcoin price based on current situation on the market which driven by some hot news around. Whether it will work or not, we will find out after the tool released. Although it will hard to predict bitcoin price due to some factors, especially traders and big whales manipulators which encourage people to sell-off.

Due illegal Catalan referendum by independentists trying to secede from Spain, this will cause a lot of disruption that will spread across Europe. The Euro is already falling while BTC had a nice bull run.
Once again, the global neutral asset shows to be the place to be. You can't lose in Bitcoin, just hold and you shall be rewarded.
$6000 is coming, don't lose your cheap coins.
I don't see it coming, Catalan can't push Euro to fall significantly, People wouldn't buy bitcoin only because this problem. The most significant case for people get into bitcoin maybe attracted to the price which is against inflation, usability across the world, Government regulations about cryptocurrency and economy crisis in a country such as in Venezuela or Zimbabwe that will encourage people to switch their wealth into bitcoin. Current price is $4400, seems rise a bit from yesterday, but still on slow phase to reach the ATH. |

When I first got into bitcoin coinbase was the one wallet I found that seemed trusted and reliable. Everything is working out great until about eight months ago I got contacted by them saying they no longer allow US customers and that i needed to withdraw my btc. I did so. My issue is, i have a local friend who has a coinbase account and he has never heard of this or been contacted by coinbase. Was wondering if any americans had the same experience?
Similar case here. I have a friend using Coinbase since maybe 2 years and never have a problem since, me too I am using it since 3 years maybe. We both live in the same country. About 3 months ago he has been contacted and be told that Coinbase doesn't work anymore with people from our country (outside US) has asked him politely to go to another place since he is not welcome anymore. Surprised by this, we also noticed that Coinbase removed our country from their list of accepted country. The problem is he is the only one I know who received such invitation to leave the site. 8 months and 3 months ago, it seems that Coinbase didn't warn everyone to leave their site at once. Imagine if hundreds or thousand customers withdraw their funds/bitcoin from coinbase within a day or two, then Coinbase will find it difficult to refund all of those money and bitcoins, I guess. But, this problem regards Coinbase services has been discussed for a long time, since IRS cracked down and their policy become more stringent for people outside the country, it's better to warn everyone you know to leave Coinbase for good. |

Not bad...you know this ain't the first time someone came-up with this.Such bots have existed in the past and continue to do so.Does your program allows to check the number of post counts ? Most importantly,does it count the valid posts ? I bet it doesn't.
what do you mean by "valid posts"? a bot cannot judge post quality. thats up to the campaign manager. this tool helps you keep track of NUMBER OF POSTS ACTUAL DISPLAYED SIGNATURE I assumed that Joel_Jantsen wants to know if the bot will not count those post restricted by the campaign manager like Games & Rounds, Off topic and Beginner & Help thread. There was one campaign that already using a bot to manage their campaign, "BitMix.Biz Signature Campaign" and it was challenge from the beginning. I think this is very useful for campaign manager who are working on multiple campaign. And it will saved them a lot of time counting post and checking signature everyday. The only bot that I think became very successful is in the Bitmixer campaign manage by Lauda. But still she has to check every post and kick participants who don't follow the rules. I must admit that Lauda did a great job to manage bitmixer participants, check one by one and blacklist most of them due to low quality posts or too many invalid posts even though they were posted in valid boards. But, at least, Op has mentioned privcoin bot which offer more algorithm in order to create a better bot, but still the quality of a post should be judged by the manager. This bot could check number of posts and actual displayed signature, a question; if someone change signature for 10 seconds, this bot will record it or something to check about it? If it can't, maybe you can add this feature, a notification for a manager about someone change the signature. |

Another government want to create their own digital currency, at least they just showed interest to blockchain technology. Although this emCash does not have a major impact on bitcoin environment and seems like another competitor, it's fine as long as people could use cryptocurrency to trade or as payment method just like latest news about high rise apartment sold for bitcoin. https://news.bitcoin.com/luxury-dubai-high-rise-apartments-will-be-sold-for-bitcoin/ |

 Quite frankly with the advent of bitcoins new cryptocurrencies are being introduced day by day. that could be a potential reason of decrease in value of bitcoins because the crowd that bitcoins would have generated in terms of demand is now divided into small segments. Is there a way to introduce them without hampering the present demand and supply of bitcoins and at the same time assuring that they can move up nicely in the market. Most people were disagreed about your statement, new altcoins means nothing to affect bitcoin price, maybe some altcoins could attracted people to switch their investment, out of bitcoin for some time, but bitcoin price will recover again. But most altcoins can not affect bitcoin price at all. On the other hand, uncertain news about bitcoin or exchanges will be banned has been proven could affected global market price, due to panic sell or people choose to sell-off instead of holding. |

We gathered a few interesting facts about ICOs (Initial Coin Offering).
The most expected
International project Boosteroid starts the first ICO stage on October 23, 2017.
Boosteroid is a cloud services platform that provides convenient access to computing power, storage, software products and other functionality. The project will allow to abandon expensive personal computers in favor of a powerful remote service with a user-friendly interface and a simple management. A computer is able to carry out a variety of tasks in the “cloud” – from working with texts to analyzing DNA.
The starting price of 1 Boosteroid token (BTR) will be $0,48. 1 BTR corresponds to the price of one hour rent of computing power on the basis of eight NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphic cards; two Intel Xeon E5 2680v4 processors; RAM 256Gb; SSD 960Gb.
At the same time costs of one hour computing power rent offered by market leaders for the European countries are currently: Amazon Web Services — $10, 6, Microsoft Azure — $10,26, Google Cloud — $6,5
After the Boosteroid ICO computing power rent will become available to every user of the World Wide Web.
It is expected that in the next three to four months the rate of BTR token will grow tenfold.
I think this is the point of your research, to encourage people to invest on Boosteroid ICO? As you said "The Most Expected" Maybe I should learn more about this project as well, maybe you could mention the link to their website or Ann thread. Lately, there are few ICOs that cancelled their crowdfunding due to some countries banned ICO such as in China, Singapore and South Korea. So, people should aware of ICO regulations in their country and check the legal permit of the ICO before decide to invest. |
