5021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Copy-Paste Virus For Bitcoin Users -- Beware!!! on: March 25, 2017, 10:18:58 AM
This bug/virus has been around for a long time in the bitcoin space and i am surprised to still see so many users post that this is the first time they are hearing about this.
Maybe the forum should have a board for people to post information on know bitcoin viruses, other users could check it daily/weekly to get the latest updates of what to watch out for.
That's right. This kind of virus had been discussed here probably a few months ago but now the topic is discontinued and actually, there's already many people out there complaining about this and so does with my friend.
People just need to be aware and be sure about the address which they're going to send some bitcoin by double checking and everything will be fine.
5022  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why not creating BTU as altcoin ? on: March 25, 2017, 10:14:46 AM
If BTU is created as an altcoin, their efforts would be useless I guess. They're aiming to change bitcoin and not just creating another coin which is will definitely fail because people won't attracted to, and hey the genuine bitcoin is still there, why moving over?  Roll Eyes .
5023  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Satoshi reveals himself, what would be of Bitcoin? on: March 25, 2017, 12:12:55 AM
No way that Satoshi will ever reveal himself. But I ever wonder if Satoshi will reveal himself what he would be his stance with the current issue that is happening right now versus core and unlimited. Maybe he can make those shills to shut up when he appears and give them some sermon on what they are doing with his creation.
I'm sure that if satoshi decides to come up with some ideas, majority of people would agree with him and could make this current debate which has bring tension among bitcoin users come to an end.
it looks like that satoshi is the messiah of bitcoin but that's the fact due to he's the one who has invented bitcoin.
5024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you save bitcoin for fun or for future purpose? on: March 24, 2017, 08:47:10 AM
Yeah i think it is like that now, bitcoin has a future to stay. I think most of the world big companies has recognized the important of bitcoin. Even in my country today there is great awareness about bitcoin.
Kinda curious which awareness make you amazed and consider that as a great awareness given by your country whereas here, bitcoin is not that popular that even among 1000 people you might have met, they don't know what's bitcoin and even if they do, they barely know the use of it. It seems that your country has opened the way for bitcoin to be at least an alternate currency there. But if about most of big company has put their attention towards bitcoin, it's definitely not right, there's still a little amount of them who implement bitcoin to their companies.
5025  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why should people use Bitcoin? on: March 24, 2017, 04:45:31 AM
The main that why i think people should use bitcoins is because you can buy whatever you want and no one can trace you or your transaction.
If people start using bitcoins then it will inspire shopkeepers to accept bitcoins online and in local.
Another misconception here that no one is able to trace your transaction when it comes to bitcoin when ever transaction has a public ledger  Smiley If a shop keeper plans to accept bitcoin he has to have the ability to convert it to the local currency as soon as possible and with the current situation it is not possible .
Actually, bitcoin is more transparent than ordinary fiat when it comes to tracing or such. As you can see that the transactions always saved and can be traced by simply using blockchain explorer, but, people keep repeating that bitcoin is untraceable. Such a bad misconception that's get people wrong about bitcoin.
5026  Economy / Economics / Re: The best time to invest. on: March 23, 2017, 08:13:27 AM
I think the best time to invest into something profitable is when you're not ready. Because whenever you're ready with the adequate capital to invest then you're comfortable and chances are that you will not manage that investment well but when you're under pressure with nothing going for you and you start something with the little that you have I bet they'd grow so I think the best time is when you're not ready to invest.
You have a different reasoning dude but I get your point, for me I will invest when I am ready because readiness does only financially ready. Also, when you say you are ready, you have all the things necessary done already, it involves emotional control and deep understanding on your investment.
Right! I agreed on you dude, in terms of investing something it means everything you prepared on it. You'll make sure to your self that there will be no problem once you decided to invest. Though its really the right time to invest or buy now bitcoin,..
The thing is that even if you're ready but if it's about investing there's always some problem popping up and you will eventually be forced to face it. Probably the project will fail, or any else, who knows?.
Maybe you're already solving the problem about your daily expenses or anything else unrelated to your investation, but, you can't be really sure that another problem might be coming.
There's no word "obvious" for investing.
5027  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: March 23, 2017, 07:50:01 AM
honest, when prices rose bitcoin, very difficult to produce 0.1 BTC per day, even with trading. many are trying to switch from trading, to gambling, but mostly it just makes them less BTC. the only way to produce 0.1 BTC every week is to have a long-term investment in altcoin, or try to trade with the more powerful.
Actually as of now it is very hard to get 0.1 because of the high price of Bitcoin but if you confident to get that you do this. In trading have possible to earn 0.1 per week how? If you big capital in trading for sure you earn like that or more. For example you have 10-20 Bitcoin in trading and you buy 10-20 altcoin and very week those altcoin pump so you have profit and your target price will get. Big capital the profits is high if you have small capital your profit also low .

is not easy produce 0.1bitcoin/day
if trading you must have high skill without skill you can lost youre money
gambling is very high risk only lucky can get profit, but is very dificult can get constant profit with gambling
Well , the question was about how to make 0.1 BTC per week so that must be at least 7 times easier than to make 0.1 BTC daily, probably the easiest way will be with trading since it does not have a limit on the amount you can earn weekly.
Only if you can manage to always make profits then it's fine, otherwise if you're still pretty doubtful and not experienced yet, don't expect too much. Trading is kinda risking your capital for the sake of greater amount of money, If you're not brave and always losing your patience, just wait to lose your capital immediately after you decide to get involved into trading activities.
5028  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin business idea on: March 23, 2017, 07:18:51 AM
Lending is the best choice. With a good bankroll and a trusted platform you can earn much money from passive income. You don't need to work, to do tasks, to do anything. You just wait and see the results, your money growing.
At same time you are helping others to build their services and businesses. The money is circulating and you are making profit.
There are also some risks associated with lending as the borrowers might default on their payments, and sometimes collecting interest payment takes time. Might as well just hold you coins or just put it into something that has a lesser chance of being scammed.
Pretty bothered by this statement, At same time you are helping others to build their services and businesses. Yes if we're going to make a lending services, it'll help those who want to build a business, but, how if the business is failed? do you have any tolerance regarding this matter and won't charge the ones who borrow your money anymore? I guess no, it's at the same time also means that you're solving other people's problem by adding another one.
5029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BIT.AC :: MULTICURRENCY WALLET :: BUILT-IN INSTANT EXCHANGE :: Affiliate Program on: March 23, 2017, 06:19:31 AM
Yea If I could get it to work Zec Xrp would be nice and no I dont want to see any coins removed I have a buncha clams and peercoins clams is right at about 1.00 a coin it fluctuates peercoin about 75 to 80 cents.The way I see it the more the merrier.
Your suggestion should also be considered, the more the merrier, I like it. Actually if there will be no problem not removing coins that has been listed already although they are not that popular now. What is important is all wallets are working and it's up to Bit.AC how they would keep up their designed to make it more attractive to the users. The main page should be something that is attractive and I would love to see the more active coins now.
It's kinda good if bit.ac could just hold the existence of specific coins even if it's just near to an end, but, the thing is probably those coins which have no more value is not necessarily needed for majority of crypto users. If there's no exchange anymore that accepting that kind of coin then it could only be bought or sold through pure p2p, bit.ac could be the tool for this, but, if it's affecting their services, I suppose it's not recommended.
5030  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to know about next pump? on: March 21, 2017, 06:31:56 AM
No one knows when again increasing bitcoin. So the thing is to be alert and should study the motion of bitcoin. We just have to remember the lowering and raising it to know when we buy and sell bitcoin. Should the time of lowering the bitcoin has prepared you for money to buy.
This strategy is also not good.Last time price was falling and I bought some coins but then price fell further.
You are right but there is a strategy that I believe always work, you buy coins when the price is rising because it has been seen that when the price rises it just keeps rising and when it falls it just keeps falling down.
Though we cannot guess it, we can always be sure that the price rises with each new year and hence it's the best to just be patient and sell them at best price.
A kind of bad idea, it's really dangerous that could make you bankrupt just in few minutes. Buying when the price is high will only give you pretty low profit and even more risk than buying in the low rate of price.
The price rising is just a trend, once you're trapped because of blindly lured by the price rising, it's mean an end for you. Trading is actually depends on your luckiness, and few good news, stop speculating which is useless, just buy what you think is cheap and waiting, be sure to buy only promising ones.
5031  Economy / Economics / Re: What will be our new world currency? on: March 21, 2017, 06:16:12 AM
Now the world currency is the US dollar. If I'm not mistaken, there have already been attempts to create a single world currency - bitcoin. But while it is still not so popular and predictable as the dollar.
US dollar will still dominate the world currency even their would be more attempts to try replacing it, as they already show the world how powerful they are and they really wanted to control in any aspect even the new President got a lots of criticism but still US will not allow any possible thing to happen to removes their dollar as the world well known currency.
But America can't stop people using Bitcoin in all of the other countries in the world, and they don't even seem to feel threatened by Bitcoin, having a reasonably lenient stance to it, so I don't think they would be directly hostile.
If bitcoin is really dangerous that could destroy the US's economy then there's still possibility that the US will force other countries to ban bitcoin. See what's happening to those countries with damn tonnes of oil which are now "touched" by the US? Everything is possible in this world. Not going to judge what US have done but they're really want to hold on the top position of superpower country.
5032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: March 21, 2017, 06:13:07 AM
I hope there a big difference between PayPal and Bitcoin, Bitcoin is completely digital currency and Paypal is payment method where we can directly send money to your banks. Bitcoin has many advantages when compared to Paypal are
1. Bitcoin is Digital Currency.
2. Bitcoin is also an Investment.
3. We make money by investing into other Altcoins.
4. Bitcoin is not managed by any other with rules and regulation.
Paypal is actually kind of converting your money into the digital thing (balance) and you can still be able to save your balance inside your account and withdraw it if necessary. The thing works like bitcoin just it's more complicated due to the regulation (It's a company offering services in order to gain profit so it's normal) whereas bitcoin is freedom in the digital world.
You're also able to invest through PayPal by funding some projects which seem to be profitable in the future or just hold your dollars and wait until your local currency becoming weak, this thing looks pretty the same to me just bitcoin is more free, just my 2 cents.
5033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The danger of the cyptocurrencies on: March 21, 2017, 06:07:25 AM
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that some banks and governments stopped considering Bitcoin as a threath but more as an opportunity to take their piece of cake for themselves and make the profit. I think they have realised it's too late to stop Bitcoin so that is better for them to join that train before it's too late.
Well, today bitcoin have become huge, and even the government will not be able to make bitcoin disappear. Well, bitcoin is threatening the country because bitcoin has no taxes. because of this, the government may see bitcoin as a threat.

who told bitcoin dont have taxes, the country which is accepting bitcoin have imposed tax on its uses and you have to show all details about trading and uses of bitcoins. If you are now showing details then you are doing illegal activity. And showing bitcoin in tax is good for bitcoin users and for bitcoin itself like this more shop owners will use bitcoin as it is getting legal status
But, the majority of bitcoin users aren't publishing their bitcoin to the government that easily that even many of them are using bitcoin in purpose of avoiding the taxes.
Also, there's still many countries that still don't acknowledge bitcoin and it makes the taxation struggling to reach its conclusion, just imagine if you're going to pay taxes but the one who's in charge of calculating and receiving your taxes don't know shit about bitcoin.
5034  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you use a Bitcoin ATM? on: March 20, 2017, 09:14:33 AM
in my country there are already have bitcoin ATM but only a few and the location is far from my place. i think if there are 1 in my town i will try it at leas once,,if the fee is very high, i would'nt try it again  Grin

Yeah, here atm bitcoin is also only available in the big cities and the distance away from my home. But for the moment I do not think so too requires atm bitcoin, because without atm bitcoin I could still use bitcoin for a variety of things. And I was scared too if atm bitcoin charge fees that are too large. Thank you
That's right. Bitcoin ATM is actually not that necessary, but, it will surely make it easy when you just want to buy bitcoin or convert your bitcoin instantly. The bitcoin itself can be used from every place as long as there's still an internet connection exists. Just consider bitcoin ATM as an additional feature for bitcoin.
5035  Economy / Economics / Re: Do You Think They’ll Use the US Dollar on Mars? on: March 19, 2017, 05:34:47 AM
What the hell is this?  Cheesy

If there are Internet on Mars you can use Bitcoin as a currency and payment method because it's decentralized feature.
However in Mars there are no internet and it won't possible to use it as well with US dollar.

In the future, we're probably could find a new technology that makes the internet coverage becoming widest. As for now, NASA with their curiousity inside mars are sending data through X-band. By looking at that, I conclude that we're possible to have an internet on the mars as additional feature for space tourism. Just my 2 cents.
5036  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BU + segwit on: March 19, 2017, 04:55:14 AM
SegWit has already block size increase. But Jihan and Ver and their chinese miners puppets just want to control bitcoin not to increase block size. There's no possible compromise, no more debate we should just ignore and discard them and procede with UASF.
 Bitcoin future is at stake and if Bitcoin fails all alts will follow, people wont believe in crypto
it's just kinda odd that few people could affect bitcoin whereas bitcoin is decentralised from the start and it's mean that none could make the centralised power over it.
It's indirectly affecting the miners' earning I suppose, due to the HF could threaten the current rate, nevertheless they still join the BU.
5037  Economy / Economics / Re: Is USD being used for illegal activities? on: March 18, 2017, 11:15:10 AM
to avoid illegal actions I prefer USD. because of the movement and spread of currency USD more secure and controlled.
while bitcoin is more risky because it is anonymouse so many people who use it for illegal actions.
It's definitely wrong ffs, USD is far more untraceable than bitcoin which have blockchain and every outgoing transaction was recorded and there's no way to delete this. The USD itself ain't got GPS to detect and there's no way to control it directly. Bitcoin itself doesn't trigger criminality because of its pseudo-anonymous feature but the criminality itself take advantage of bitcoin instead of other currency. Even if bitcoin doesn't exist, I'm sure the criminalities still exist.
5038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2.5 btc tx fee on: March 18, 2017, 11:09:22 AM
It happens when the wallet you use to send funds don't have the feature to input the fees manually and you can't preview the fees, seems like electrum and mycelium but those two can preview the fees before sending so still it safe.
Or maybe he used some exchange that get the fees from the users balance automatically and the user can't see if the fees reach 1 BTC already.
There's no way that some exchange that deducts user's balance to pay fee could make a big mistake like that, I'm sure that they're using their own algorithm which is finely made and tested.  If the exchanges were calculating the fee based on its size and depending on the current recommended rate which is 200sat/b then it wouldn't surpass 0.005 as it's the recommended fee for 2000b as showed in the transaction description.
5039  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: March 18, 2017, 09:18:02 AM
I don't want to believe this but it looks real. ETH and BTC has the same amount of trading volume for the last 24 hours on btc-e. (20M $/24h)

Do people really think that eth is the next bitcoin? (sounds like a shit idea tbh) Or is there a huge scam going on?
It was the past when it was thought that Ethereum is the competitor of bitcoin and will go to become a next bitcoin as after ts hack people have lost trust on it fully and now mostly traders buy and sell ethereum coin as they think anytime any issue can happen with this technology.
you are right and i will add that even in that time in the past ethereum was unable to compete bitcoin because bitcoin was mush established than ethereum and ethereum was just in the starting points of its progress. They both were in their way and the speed of bitcoin was faster so even in that time bitcoin had no competition.

Today I do not see a single cryptocurrency that could compete with bitcoin. Now one leader is bitcoin. Despite the fact that he also has his own problems and shortcomings
Depends on from which factor you're comparing bitcoin against those altcoins. Competitions is not just about the winner have the biggest market cap but also can be compared from its feature.
If you're just seeing from your perspective and rely on the market cap, for sure bitcoin will win because it's the first ever cryptocurrency to be popular and widely known among many people whereas the rest are still new.
5040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to the Bitcoin Network if a World war Starts? on: March 18, 2017, 06:40:49 AM
I'm starting to get very worried about the state of international relations. Trump is a potential threat to world peace, and growing tensions with China and other countries are becoming a real threat.

So, if a World war starts, there are all sorts of scenarios we can consider, but what do you guys think it could happen to Bitcoin?

Do you think it is odd you worry more about a virtual currency that can't feel pain,

instead of Women, & Children & your Fellow Man.

Realize what is truly important while you are here, our time here is already too short to ignore the true beauty of this world.
And if you think BTC is the more important, then I Pity You!


 Cool
That's why being too fanatic is just not a good idea. There's no point of thinking about cryptocurrency in the world war, it's ain't worth my time whereas people are fighting and probably the world's crisis will occur.
Even I'm sure that if there's nuclear war, tonnes of gold will worth a dust, only food is the most valuable in this world at that time.
