Blockchain must make a move, they have all the controls and resources. This is a hate action bitcoin community might suffer from this in the future i guess.

Hi,

Is there anyone that can confirm my bitcoin transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/900c7ff5f3b029c3c494810aecd3af5a83aa8119c161509957d19036b2f65678

Thanks!
You paid 241.467 sat/B so your transaction should confirm in between 5 and 360 minutes.

Best to just wait.

Can i send from trezor to another address that trezor provides.
Just a relocation of funds?

You will have to pay the transaction fee but of course you can do this.  Not exactly sure why you would want to do it.

Also, maybe this might help (from earlier in this thread):

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=122438.msg18529944#msg18529944

Thanks, i did it. Even says sent to myself in description XD
I need it for linking byteball with btc.
As an aside:  to link to byteball it is better to use the signature option, then you do not have to move your BTC just link all the addresses that currently have BTC using the signature bot.  Also, the distribution already happened, right?  I do not know when the next byteball distribution will happen.  Do you?

I could never understand localbitcoins the prices seem so high for me to buy from them and so low to sell to them yet the users seem to be transacting there, i can only assume the activity is probably through forums like these instead of those ads which people are posting, afterall who in the right mind would buy a bitcoin which costs easily 3-5% more then the normal rates?

What are the average transaction rates for bitcoin mixers? So far i found 1 charging 1%, but i think it seems a little high...

If you have not figured it out yet:  the reason Bitcoins are priced at a premium on localbitcoins is because you can buy there without documentation.  In other words, the premium on localbitcoins is the price you pay for your privacy.

Bitmixer.io is the the best mixer.  Again, paying to have your Bitcoins run through a mixer is the price you pay for your privacy.
529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING:network under Massive spam attack. on: May 13, 2017, 03:44:01 PM
There are two types of spam txs.

The first is a block attack vector designed to bloat the chain with worthless
data. The 1MB Cap prevents that attack type. The fee market is the
mechanism that prevents this while allowing the network to remain
functioning with that 1 MB Cap.

The second is a fee attack vector designed to bloat the mempool and
increase the fee price. These automated scripts are specifically designed
to create different fee levels, in order to increase the priority fee price.
The lower priority txs will either take many hours to days to confirm or
be dropped after "72 hours". The purpose is to cause pressure for altcoins
that allow for new P&D schemes.

These two attack types can and will exist no matter what the Bitcoin
blocksize is, which is what Hydrogen was alluding to.

Only post worth reading in this entire thread.

The economics of the fee attack are obvious.  They do not need to spend that much money in order to get the fees to go up.  If they flood the lower fee levels with transactions they are paying smaller fees if the transactions do go through at all.   Also, due to their own attack their transactions spend a lot of time in the queue just clogging up the queue - less cost for the attacker.  If they are really successful then most of their spam transactions will never get into a block and will eventually get dropped.  The cost to the spammer of the transactions that get dropped is zero.

Just take a look at the chart here:

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Clog up the lower transaction levels and everyone who wants to actually do a transaction will have to pay more.

Larger blocks will not solve this, Segwit will not solve this, the actual solution is already in place:  pay a higher fee for your transactions if you want them to go through.

Generally indeed many among those who use the bitcoin get things less fun when storing bitcoin, or one might say they steal in bitcoin by people. Indeed it could not be at the stop, unless indeed we are more careful in doing something. This is a technology, surely every journey there there is always a sad thing, if you want to get an advantage then be someone who may well see something or everything will fall apart
 
Fuck you, you piece of shit signature spammer.

I hope you paid a huge amount for your high level account(s) and that this and all your other accounts you purchased just to spew this totally meaningless crap get perm banned. 

YOU, yes you personally, are the reason this forum is becoming tedious and worthless.

if by "all the coins you have" you mean your balance there all exchanges have some section called balance or wallet which you can see all the balances and their value in bitcoin and there is always a little text on top telling you your total equivalant balance in bitcoin.

try this link: www.poloniex.com/balances
I think he just wants to see all the coins he currently owns/holds. try ticking "hide zero balances". if you tick that you'll only see coins have some balance, all the other coins will be hidden.
Yes, that was my intention and thank you, that showed me what I was looking for.
But still I feel they should include this as a separate option on their website where we can see our investments, show the price when we bought them and the current value of them etc.
That is what we all want to see I feel.
Under "Orders" use "My Trade History and Analysis", select a coin.  Get all the information you want/need.

At http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ ignore the chart for now and go down to the first paragraph of text which looks like this:

Quote
Which fee should I use?

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 280 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 63,280 satoshis.

Please note that many wallets use satoshis-per-kilobyte or bitcoins-per-kilobyte, so you may need to convert units. See our instructions for more details.

The part you care about is the part that says "280 satoshis/byte", this will change over time so check it before you calculate the proper fee.
533  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: do i have to pay tax on bitcoins ? on: May 11, 2017, 06:09:05 PM
so i wanna know do i realy have to pay taxes on bitcoins and does my gov recognize bitcoins as my property and do i have to care about any legal action by  gov on my bitcoin property ?

Hi!

As of writing, there has been no requirement as to the payment of taxes in our jurisdiction. I am not quite familiar about how other jurisdictions regulate the payment of taxes of Bitcoin usage though.

You have to be fairly familiar about the laws of the land where you are in to ensure that you have not violated any laws. With this safety precaution, you can be certain that your incomes out of Bitcoins belong to you exclusively without fear of parting from it brought about by the power of the State to tax. Apart from the collection of taxes, you might as well end up paying for penalties and/or interests due the government.

I hope it helps.

To date, there is no government regulation on tax obligations for bitcoin owners. Because there's no stipulation of legal status and protection to owners of bitcoin.
Did you read the thread?

No, you did not.

Otherwise you would know that this depends on where you live.  In the US taxes are owed.  This may or may not be true in your country.  Your blanket statement is not true.  READ before you post.

You are totally wrong.  You do not know what you are talking about.  When looking at 18-1960 there are three points that can be argued:

1) MONEY
2) TRANSMITTAL
3) BUSINESS

1) Is Bitcoin money?  Already decided in many cases.  All they do is leave the broader question as to what Bitcoin is unanswered and simply say that "for the purposes of this specific prosecution we will consider it money or money-like enough to proceed".  Basically you do not have an argument here.

2) Transmittal?  Is buying and selling on localbitcoins the transmittal of money.  First of all you cannot use the argument that Bitcoin is not money (see #1 above).  Also whether it can be considered "transmittal" for the purposes of 18-1960 has already been decided in many cases and the precedence is basically yes, it can be considered transmittal for the purposes of 18-1960.

3) Business.  This is not a point of law.  According to the FinCEN regulations this is a matter of "fact and circumstance".  What exactly does this mean?  It means that whether what you are doing is a business or not has to be decided by the decider of "fact and circumstance" and in the US that is the jury.  In other words in my case it boiled down to this one point:  was what I was doing a business or not.  They claimed it was a business, I claimed it was not.  After 9 months we agreed to disagree on this and they dropped all the charges.  Since we never went to trail the point was never decided.
I might be wrong, because I simply can't comprehend that they can on one hand say that it's not money but commodity and then say that it can be money for the purpose of a certain case/investigation/prosecution. It's especially hard for me to understand because I live in Europe and here bitcoin is not treated like money. It's just an electronic valuable, like a domain name, and you're not transmitting anything by buying or selling it.
It's good that you managed to get them off your back, but they stole some money and gear from you, so they still got something off that raid.
I only know US law - having learned it in a baptism of fire.  You are correct.  Things are different elsewhere and I know nothing about that.

If in your country bitcoin is a legal currency and it is used on the state level even by the state entity and it has a place in your law then it is sure that it will also have a tax on you while if your government do not have approved it as legal for the state then they are not bound to impose tax on you.

  • Bitcoin miners must report receipt of the virtual currency as income

That makes me wonder about the profitability of mining? So if I mine one coin with a value of $1600, I would owe about 1/3 as income. Leaving me with about $1066. That is without factoring in mining costs. Of course I could hold until the price is higher, but I may have to give up 10% of that growth in cap gains.  Brutal.  Cheesy

Not exactly.  For mining you add up all the coins you mine and price them at the time you mine them.   That is your gross income from mining.  Then you deduct all expenses related to the mining: electricity, supplies, etc.  You can also deduct the allowed depreciation on all equipment: miners, air conditioners, etc.  Subtract all allowed expenses from the gross income.  This is the net income.  You pay the tax on that.

According to a copy of the plea agreement, Klein faces as many as five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

It's Delights how USA tax officers treats to their job. They will find any possible way to claim the taxes. Maybe this country historically have such power because of this strict tax policy.
That is the fee and max sentence for violating 18-1960.

Best to hold till mainstream adoption! at least in the US
This is exactly what I was charged with.  I even had the same attorney!  However in my case I did not plead guilty and after $250,000 in attorney fees and payoffs to the government all charges were dropped.

As I have said many times (after I was arrested and learned all about it):  

If you want to advertise on localbitcoins in the US you should get the stupid free license.  If you do not get the license they can claim it is a business, claim you need the license, charge you with 18-1960, seized all your assets for their federal asset forfeiture slush fund, put you in jail, etc.

If you are just a customer on localbitcoins (not running an ad) you may be safe from all this - maybe.  So far I have never heard of a case where they have arrested someone who contacted an ad as a customer.  But, you never know, that may be their next move.  I think they would have a hard time claiming you are running a business if you contact an advertiser as a customer.  BUT, remember it is all about the civil asset seizure.  If you have assets to be seized they will go after you to fund their operations.  NOTE:  if you are a customer using localbitcoins always assume that the person running the ad you contact is a federal agent, cooperating witness, or undercover agent for one of many different agencies.  In other words be very careful what you say.  I never got to see all the evidence against me (all the grand jury testimony was sealed and remains sealed to this day) but I can tell you from the evidence I did get to see that many accounts on localbitcoins are owned and operated by government agents.

Of course I know his attorney very well (he was my attorney) and I consider him one of the "good guys" so I have to assume that the plea deal was in the best interests of the client.  In other words either a) there were other details of the case that we don't know or b) the guy just did not have the $250,000 needed to fight the charge.

I did not take my case to trial because it was going to cost me a minimum of another $75,000 to take it to trial.  Money drives these things on both sides.
The problem is that this money transmitting thing is borderline or slightly on the side of not being against the law. If bitcoin was called a commodity by the US government and there's nothing in the law that says you are supposed to register when trading it. You would have to register if bitcoin was a currency, but it isn't. According to law it's like trading stocks, and you don't need to register to trade stocks, do you?
The fee is obviously not made to discourage the trader, it's the cost of the operation. He's being forced to pay their wages.
