Last update made 50% of the accounts/mobiles unable for playing anymore.

Nice approach, but still insufficient. I tell you these updates should tackle the battery supply of the cellphone.

This game conquered the world. Wherever you look - all of it is played. Yeah, probably not the developer knows where the money has already put

I wish dem Pokemons would BURN like Samsung Galaxy Notes  Angry got into a flashmob by accident when dozens of autistic teenagers looking at their screens popped up at a city cross-way

I would keep it at LEAST until the full node is finished. So about 2 months. And I'd expect if Polo hasn't added it by then they will once that happens. I won't be reducing my position until at least the beginning of 2017.

Such in a hurry? Adviseable not to built up a position *before* 1/2017

Megaupload 2.0 plans aims to utilize blockchain based storage services such as Storj.

https://bnktothefuture.com/pitches/megaupload-2-0-bitcache


Such as stroj, is it confirmed?

Go and read the link. It says so in their pitch.

"We aim to utilize Blockchain based storage services such as Storj, Maidsafe and others for file storage and our own custom technology built on top of Bitcoin that allow micro-transaction to be attached to every file."

Storj mentioned before Maidsafe and others (must be alphabetical order?!) or perhaps level of current availability!
This is still somehow below the radar, time enough to buckle up. Raising funds during the next 19 days and "Bitcoin" mostly filling their boilerplate. If this might become huge, it will go Mega-huge.

I would stay the last year don't waste all those years learning.

Plus it could lead to a better job down the line

So many people don't do their initial education. However, seldom people reach something satisfying after having toppled over their start into life. So ... proceed, finish, than decide upon another destination.

Just remembered "The big short" movie, he's been a PhD in medicine dabbling with stocks afterwards. Somewhat nerdish personality.

bitcoin is more simple than paypal
so people will choose bitcoin, slowly paypal will be abandoned

Nope, actually it's more complex to handle. Securitywise, of course. Than there's some download to be done, if you want to do it right you need your own Blockchain copy on harddisk. Not some stinky Website Wallet.

And then there is that advantage of PayPal utilising Email adresses instead of numbers. However I can imagine some service could offer the same based upon bitcoins, and even using a website wallet. Brand it "BitPal" or similar.

A company could push this through, applying pressure onto PayPal. But not going without that, it's not magically happening by mere market forces all alone.
507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Practical use of Ethereum. on: October 03, 2016, 10:09:05 AM
No of course you don't want that.  If I am an unknown, anonymous entity that makes a smart contract with you, another unknown, anonymous entity, on terms that only you and I know, without knowing one another, then no law can interfere, and nobody can be sued or forced to follow the contract, or not.  If code running our contract is such that transactions happen according to our agreements, then that's all there is to it.

The code beeing the law. Intriguing concept!

However, you cannot mold everything into code. "if Joe Smith is dead" cannot be proofen like some boolean variable.
508  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin better or paypal? on: October 03, 2016, 01:30:27 AM
I don't think this is the right put question. Bitcoin is currency and PayPal is money service, so how can you compare it?
That's the main point, even that is reasonable for comparing both....? we should for making the bitcoin just combining with the paypal system because paypal is just like a wallet and will be more rational if comparing the paypal with such as the coinbase. I guess for comparing currency and wallet it's very wrong.

And any money service can put your ballance at hold at will, at any time. Paypal has some history in doing just so. This is unbearable!
509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin died tomorrow on: October 03, 2016, 01:26:25 AM
What would you do?
Move onto another coin?
Cry all day long?
Throw your computer in the pool?
Eat 100 bananas?
I wanna eat bananas, becouse it is more healthy. By the way bitcoin will not easily died. there are so many bitcoin devotee around the world. bitcoin life becouse it used by people. Also hacking bitcoin is not so easy. I think bitcoin will still used forever.
No ,bitcoins will last longer only it will not last forever no body or no things in this world would last forever . Earth also is not forever so its better to take advantage while we still using it ,we can never predict what will happen tomorrow if butcoins died as the OP said .so best things is have a backup plan .don't stick to the point that you only consider bitcoins to earn.

if the mining won't come back to the ordinary people, it's dead.

so bananas in the midrange timescale.

Not a self obsessed asshole. that's all I ask. I've never been with anyone who wasn't so far. hope springs eternal.

lol will second that. just wondering if it's related to law of attraction.

I would like to make a public note that reddit.com has started deleting Flat Earth comments related to gravity. They don't seem to like me giving detailed technical explanations. When I suggested an experiment the user could try a home with a balloon they took action and removed the comment.

It's not about Terry Pratched beeing right about earth beeing a disk (carried by four elephants standing on a turtle traveling through space) more about Reddit beeing above all laws in censoring opinions!

We got rights about stating our opinions.
It's mostly about secret services collecting them, using our opinions against us at any later time. But about expressing our opinions, too. Not beeing able to do would be like ...
512  Other / Off-topic / Re: Job advice on: October 03, 2016, 01:09:54 AM
I still need 2 years and a half to finish not just one i don't know if it's worth

Java programing definitely isn't.

Spend just one week in hospital to experience the difference, not that I've ever dabbled in Java but seen the other bussiness. Okay, has been a children's station where patients like me have been located due to shortages in hospital. The nurses mostly had to care for the little ones, seen cancer cases and ^h^h^h

Just short: Furgettabout programing. Your initial path has been the right one. Finish it!



edit: or yeah, like BobLawblaw expressed it
513  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Zcash? on: September 29, 2016, 03:00:29 PM
Because if a crypto coin is essentially just a trading token between "greater fool" betters on exchanges, *you do not even need a block chain*.  Only an IOU on a web site to trade it.

And maybe zcash is on something here: after all, what is more anonymous than a non-existent coin Smiley

One only trades its ghost as IOU on a web site.

This is the natural successor of an ICO.  You offer the IOU, and you trade it.  No coin, no block chain, no software, no mining, no hassle.  Brilliant, no ?

Fucking brilliant  Shocked I do wonder why peeps still waste time on software development, or burn computing power on their quest to get richt quick
514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ZCash: What's the point? on: September 28, 2016, 10:42:59 PM
Yeah, 20% of mining for the founders... what the fuck? I mean that's ridiculous for god's sake. Why? and what's the point? Aren't they rich enough from getting in early? Im sure they will be holding decent amount of coins... this sounds worse by the second, but I still might buy to profit from a pump and dump, the problem is the coin is already near 0.1 BTC...

https://www.bitmex.com/app/trade/ZECZ16

it's already getting traded without a blockchain lol, but a price is set, now the question is if we will see a flash dump as soon as it gets on Poloniex. Lots of coins have a similar graph where it insta dumps as soon as it hits the exchange (ICOers and miners dumping)

Nudge your brain, try to remember this

As someone mentioned transaction fees, well there are statistics about how long one's transfer might take according to actual fees mostly used by other senders. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

If everybody gets more patient and more penurious, this could turn into a race to the bottom, taking at risk the network sustainability by mining fees alone.
516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Bitcoin even have a future? on: September 24, 2016, 07:20:00 PM
I think BTC has a bright future. It's not just another bubble, it's a real payment system that can solve many economic problems.

Definitely! Maybe Bitcoin needs to change shape slightly, it's not that much anymore like the promises back in 2013
517  Other / Off-topic / Re: How old is your main computer? on: September 24, 2016, 07:19:07 PM
Right now as you are asking, I don't exactly know nor care about it's age. Bought a new casing, still stuck on migrating the old parts into a fresh hull.

The plan is about stuffing the old case with some cheap spare parts to puff it up as a secondary, for boring or long durance tasks.
518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most profitable CPU coin? on: September 24, 2016, 07:14:10 PM
One of the most popular and profitable coin to mine right now is Monero.
Clearly, but how does it compare to Myriad? Or Gridcoin BOINC mining for that matter?

BOINC wastes cpu cycles out of altruism and for science, Gridcoin never really changed that besides trying.
519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Could Monero replace Bitcoin soon? on: September 22, 2016, 06:30:27 PM
Mining makes the difference. If Bitcoin further insists on staying inside China mostly, will just fail.
520  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price stuck ? on: September 20, 2016, 12:09:11 PM
We can say price is stable. This is what I call stable price, I remember there was days where difference between high and low was more then 20 dollars.
TODAY'S OPEN $608.53
TODAY'S HIGH $608.72
TODAY'S LOW  $606.31
This is a good thing for bitcoin economy, from time to time bitcoin need to show its stable and strong, that will attract more people to invest in it, and people will have more trust to put their money in this new currency.
We need more time to call it stable. It is just a few weeks that the price is dangling around this mark. If we see this for at least 1 month more it will show we have find a steady and stable price. But knowing bitcoin, this may be very hard to say the least.

Almost unpredictable, however stable usually goes upwards, while spikes tend to flatten down again.
