Set a limit for yourself on how much you can trade everyday, don't go over it.
Don't trade more than you can lose, so don't use your all monthly salary for trading.
Focus on maybe 3 coins, do your research before investing.

I think the most of the stable alt coins will recover after the fork.
But with after I mean, any moment after the fork, it could be 12 hours or 2 months.
Cryptocurrency trading is like the stock market, you can never do accurate predictions.
However alts like Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero and SIA have potential for the future, so my guess is that they will recover when the demand is more spread.

Please, don't do it. It's a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Think about your friends and relatives, how would they feel when you wouldn't be here anymore. I can tell you, they will feel awful and you would hurt a lot of feelings. Go talk with someone, it can really help. Don't hesitate to send me a PM, I'm there if you want to talk.

I'm not sure but most online websites, especially websites that can contain high amounts of money have brute force protection.
I don't know what the protection on blockchain.info is, but it's either going to slow the brute forcing process or making it impossible using an account lock, temporary or not.

This seems bullshit in my eyes, you're just paying people to take responsibility for your illegal activities. You're probably are going to respond on me telling it's not illegal what you're doing but why don't you do it yourself then? And even if it's not illegal what you're doing, then you're still violating the rules of Ebay.

I am not really a trader so a phone portfolio is enough for me.
I use the coinmarketcap app, you can add your coins manually and see graphs.
But I mostly own Bitcoin, so when I'm on PC I just use preev.com to get a insight of the current value.
507  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Coming Fork(s) Safety For BItcoins on: October 18, 2017, 04:31:54 PM
For now,, as I have received my bitcoin equivalent from bitcoin cash fork last August from the exchange wallet that I’ve been using.. I’m a less worried about any fork that might come.. I have to spread the news as it feels more hassle free for me and a not risky at all.. I’m just waiting for any updates from them for this October 25th bitcoin Gold fork and November Segwit2.. It should be wiser to ask your service provider customer support for this kind of updates..

Wait what? I thought that Bitcoin Gold and Segwit 2 are same shit, thought it was synonymous. So basically we are going to have 2 works in upcoming month?


Edit: Ah after reading whole topic, it looks like this are 2 different things. Do we know maybe precise date when will segwitx2 happen?
Yes, it are 2 totally different things.
We can't say exactly on what time and date it will happen but it can be estimated factoring the average block time (~10m) with the blocks left before activation, which is at block 494784. Every day the calculation should be more precise, because you eliminate the estimated time of previous blocks to real values. So let's do a calculation right now, current block height is 490486. That's 494784-490486=4298 blocks left before activation. So 42980 minutes, that's 29 days (42980/60/24). So it should happen around the 16th of November.

How many sat can android miner mine a day?
That will depend on the Android device that is used.
But don't expect high amounts, it will be close to zero.
509  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to MIne Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2017, 03:51:59 PM
Mining is basically solving cryptographic hashes to make a block. The reward you get consists of transaction fees and the block reward (if you solve the block), but because of the high amount of miners it's almost impossible to do this yourself. Therefore they created pools, to mine with a group of people, which shares the block reward.

The equipment really depends on the coin you want to mine.
If it's Bitcoin you want then you should need an ASIC miner, these are machines that are build to solve a specific algorithm.
Then you have ASIC resistance coins like Ethereum and Zcash, these can be mined with an video card.
Besides that you need software to actually mine the coins, there is a whole section with software on this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0 . There is also a handy tool to see what's the most profitable coin to mine for you hardware, it can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0 .
510  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: android mining on: October 18, 2017, 03:32:16 PM
I see this question frequently on here.
The answer is no, ARM is way too under powered to mine.
For ASIC coins you wouldn't even mine a single cent per year and for most ASIC resistance coins the VRAM of an ARM device is too low to even handle the DAG size.
If you want to mine, just get a decent GPU or an ASIC miner.
Please, next time use the search function on this website to see if this question is already answered.

If you have your private key stored, you're perfectly fine.
You can import this any moment in any Bitcoin wallet client, make sure it is verified safe. You can find a whole list here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet. So uninstalling won't be a problem as long as you have your private key stored. The fork can not accidentally change your BTC to BTG, the fork is a copy of Bitcoin's current blockchain which will split after 25 October. Every BTC you have now will correspond to one BTG. Both wallets will have the same private key, so make sure you import it to a verified BTG client. Otherwise your key can get stolen. A good solution for this is sending your BTC to a new wallet after 25 October and then importing the old wallet key in a BTG client. The safest wallet is just personal preference, Armory is in my opinion the safest wallet. But it is quite complicated. Electrum or Core are more user friendly.
It depend on your wallet if its safe for coming Fork this coming October 25 2017. keep your private key so you not affect by the fork coming this Oct 2017. But is important to keep you private key, your will be safe.


Most desktop wallets are fine, they allow you to see your private keys.
Which is the main requirement for claiming forked coins.

That seems to be a prett good point to me about sending your BTC to a newly generated address after a fork, one other small point, that may or may not be practical is, if possible to avoid making transactions around the time of the fork.
Two or three days before the fork , exchange and other site, that transact with bitcoin cease to transact so we can expect transaction to slow down before the october 25 fork just like what happen last August when Bitcoincash was released
Yes that's why you shouldn't keep Bitcoins in an exchange wallet.
If you still have it, then now it's a good idea too move it to a desktop, paper or hardware wallet.
513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: interest in bitcoin is increasing on: October 17, 2017, 03:50:10 PM
For now I don't think accepting Bitcoin will give them much more profit.
These web shops are becoming so big that you almost can't live without using them, so it doesn't matter if they will accept it or not you will probably keep buying there because it's cheap and easy. For them there is not really a reason at this moment to accept Bitcoin as payment method. But let's hope Bitcoin will get more adoption, on the end the big shops will join.
514  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: nOOb questions on: October 17, 2017, 03:33:55 PM
Het ligt er aan ten opzichte van wat jij de waarde wil uitdrukken.
Persoonlijk vergelijk ik de prijs gewoon met de Euro, dus als ik op mijn exchange account kijk wat mijn Litecoins waard zijn dan kijk ik naar de wisselkoers in Euro. Dus als je bijhoudt voor welke waarde in Euro jij Bitcoins heb gekocht en daarna kijkt wat de waarde van jouw altcoins in Euros is, dit aftrekt van de aankoopwaarde dan weet je hoeveel je er op vooruit gegaan bent. Amerikaanse dollar kan natuurlijk ook, net wat je fijner vindt.
515  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: good source of Bitcoin books on: October 17, 2017, 03:16:26 PM
Thanks for the heads up!
I'm probably going to buy this bundle as I really like to read about Bitcoin.
Is there anybody here that already has these books, are they good?
516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Gold Mining on: October 17, 2017, 03:09:35 PM
You should be able to use the same cards you use for Ethereum to mine Bitcoin Gold.
Bitcoin gold is going to use the Equihash, which is the same as Zcash you can also mine with your cards.
However the speed may be lower then cards from a different brand, as you're now mining Ethereum you probably have AMD, which is better for Ethash. NVIDEA seems to be more optimized for Equihash ming. Mining difficulty will be easy at first but will rapidly increase is my guess, I think a lot of people are going to mine Bitcoin Gold when it releases.
517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Unique coins on: October 17, 2017, 02:56:46 PM
I haven't seen SIA on here, it's quite unique with their cloud storage on the Blockchain.
Then we have Ethereum, which is unique for their smart contracts, it deserves a spot on your list.
518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cash on: October 17, 2017, 02:52:38 PM
I am not sure what to do with them, so I keep mine.
I certainly don't see them growing back to $900, that was the sweat spot for BCH to sell.
Let's hope for a pump again.
519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Saving Bitcoins for your Children. on: October 17, 2017, 02:28:13 PM
What you could do is sign a message with the address you save your Bitcoins on, for example the location where you have the private key.
Signed messages can be used to verify the ownership over an address.
So you can print that out, put it an envelope and then give the envelope to them.
520  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Supermarket Accept Bitcoin on: October 17, 2017, 01:54:55 PM
There are no supermarkets nearby my place, at least as far as I know. What I do is to convert or transfer my Bitcoins to my bank online then I go to my bank to withdraw the same. From then, I use whatever cash that has been converted for my daily needs. It has always been the cycle that I follow since not everyone is open to accepting Bitcoins.

Let me know if you have a better idea.

Thank you!

I have came across thread last week there is a super market accepts the bitcoin as a payment window now. Accepting bitcoin is for future currency revolution gonna taken part. Since is being used by the many people and this much widely spreaded in online. This is not reached to all the people in my city or else where to laymen level. Let it should be spreaded more to all the people first before reach to usage. Confirmation time should reduced to get the more adopted from the retails businesses.
Confirmation time was not really a problem, the last time I bought groceries in the local supermarket with Bitcoin. I just scanned a QR code with my smartphone and after a couple of seconds there popped up a message that the payment was completed. I just looked up what Payment processing system they use and it looks like it is Bitkassa. I found a manual on their website: https://www.bitkassa.nl/help , you can translate the page in the right upper corner.
