Bitcoin ATMs are dumb anyway, the owners can get away with charging giant fees and ridiculous exchange rates just because of the gimmick of it being something you see in everyday life.  People will go to that ATM thinking that that's how you get Bitcoin, which is equally stupid since it's rooted online.

I thought that testnet coins have no real value (or at least nothing compared to the main network), how come do they accept them as a payment method? LN is still in Alpha at the moment so I doubt people will start using it, until everything is stable and running smoothly.
There are even people giving away loads of free testnet coins for use on them, so they basically are worthless.  I don't think they would be making any profit from accepting LN coins so I guess that's a dumb/honourable decision of theirs.

Loads of coins will go up by 1000% all the time, but they'll just collapse again and fail within a month or two (and beyond that, 1000% doesn't mean anything - the market cap could be really low meaning that it was very hard to foresee and you might find it hard to sell any significant investment, especially on a major exchange).
524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Just bought 300,000 on: April 04, 2017, 12:35:37 PM
Pretty bad idea, not only has DOGE just rose dramatically in price, it's also a 95% dead memecoin that will inevitably get dumped even more within a month.  People are pumping loads of pointless altcoins and DOGE is just one of them (it'll collapse soon enough).
525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still a good time to buy Litecoin? on: April 04, 2017, 12:30:34 PM
Nope, too late.  There's always the chance that it'll go higher but that'll be a pump and won't last (even Ethereum has dropped down to $43, I think these altcoins are on a downtrend).
526  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin after the .......... on: April 04, 2017, 12:26:22 PM
Great questions and I believe no one knows the answer to those questions.

But with Segregated Witness and Lightning Network both active on Litecoin and Bitcoin networks that would enable instant swaps without the need for a central exchange, and that would be pretty awesome.

Yes this sounds like something I had in my head but didnt know how to explain it I suppose.

I wouldnt like to see a kind of "flash in the pan" scenario where this current trend is just
pump and dump and LTC lands back at .00000800BTC and lies in an almost dormant state
for another 5 years


That kind of level is impossible, even in its "dead" phase it's been sitting around 0.004 BTC.  After the dump which will happen in a couple of weeks, I doubt it'll go much lower than .003. 
527  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trying to remeber the name of an altcoin on: April 04, 2017, 12:21:16 PM
No one is going to tell you that.  "A cryptocurrency which main goal is to be stable".  Pretty much every shitcoin is going to claim that it intends to be stable or that it's backed by something.

If it's legitimate, the only thing it could really be is USD Tether (USDT) as its goal is to be linked to the price of a dollar.
528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm Selling My House to Buy Litecoin on: April 04, 2017, 12:18:06 PM
Either this guy is extremely rich and therefore it means nothing or he's a complete idiot.  Litecoin might well go up but if he's following a blind belief he might well end up homeless.
529  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-03-31]Google: Only 0.00001% Chance Android Apps are Ransomware on: April 04, 2017, 11:42:13 AM
oh yeah! and the probability to hack an Apple device is less than 0.00001% too!
unless you are,actually,a goverment agency who is spying on you
in this case it is 100%,also Google is not a third part in this
as it owns the Market,how can it's data be trusted is beyond me

It's not really about being hacked though, it's about ransomware in Android apps.  Google just do virus checks on the apps that enter the playstore and then they are automatically added (which is the way it should be).  Apple add the apps manually.  This is why they're clarifying that the play store is secure.
530  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: The Criminal Syndicate That Is Bitcasino.io and sportsbet.io on: April 04, 2017, 11:34:31 AM
I have not use both of the sites you mentioned.

However, if you want to start a scam accusation against anyone or anything, bring some proof with you.

You can say they have bad odds, give me proven statistics of their ridiculous odds? For example give some odds from wizard of odds?

Just because you bought a watermelon from a supermarket which turns out to be rotting inside, you cannot accuse the supermarket of scamming you or selling all rotten watermelons can you? If you want to argue for a refund, you need to at least bring said watermelon back don't you? Similarly, you are listing all their bad points without giving some examples? Like the so called promos? Link some with the fine print you mention.

There are always companies that are unscrupulous and everyone knows about, but even if you want to take action against them, you need actual proof, not random accusations with no examples

Another one is the countless tech errors . If anyone has played this site, you will have many errors they have too look info.
Like?

In the past a support person name andrea has helped whenever there was probs. Now there is not good support people and they are part of the problem

So if they brought back this andrea for you personally you would say something else?

Your scam accusation is looking more like speculation rather than an actual accusation with proofs.


True, and actually having bad odds or small print conditions in promotions means nothing.  It just means "it's a bad casino" not "it's a scam".
531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt coins worth buying on: April 04, 2017, 07:30:50 AM
STEEM!
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/STEEMBTC/IVUGlSPW-STEEM-breakout-trend-reversal-confirmed-2nd-wave-UP-on-the-way/

Many people bought Steem over 1 - 4 dollar!
now you have the chance to buy it at $0.175755

buy at the bottom sell at the top: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/  (definitely bottom!)
and don't miss the train!
 
best wishes!
True, Steem could actually be pretty profitable since Steemit is a service which is very unlikely to stop being popular and therefore the only way it could really go is up right now.
532  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How many cryptocurrencies do you invest in? on: April 04, 2017, 07:26:14 AM
Two.  I hold most of my money in Bitcoin, then I switch a little bit into whichever be altcoin I think has potential to rise significantly in the near future.  I don't want to risk my holdings too much by putting a lot into different shitcoins.
533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Coins to invest in for future use rather than pump and dump on: April 04, 2017, 07:16:50 AM
Litecoin is shit. Currently, if you want tech/real world usage look at the projects that aim to do more than just aiming to become currency. Currently ethereum is leading the herd by a long shot. However, it has many rivals which are much cheaper, but years behind in development.
Litecoin is very established and legitimate.  Its low price doesn't say anything about its functionality.  Ethereum on the other hand has appeared to us out of nowhere (it existed before but most people have known about Litecoin for a long time).  Ethereum is likely to just fall again to about 20 to 30 dollars.
534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Intro to community(HALP!!) on: April 04, 2017, 07:13:46 AM
Don't buy XRP.  Hell, don't buy anything until you can find the whales' interest in it, previous price charts, the legitimacy of the coin, the chance of a dump, etc.  Ripple is legit but it's not going to go much further.  You'd be better off choosing a properly good alt early on, then if the price rose 200% with a low market cap you'd still earn a lot.
535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still a good time to buy Litecoin? on: April 04, 2017, 07:10:34 AM
probably not

what can litecoin do other alt can't?

none yet
Litecoin has real credibility.  Anyone who thinks that Bitcoin isn't good enough for their transactions but wants a credible alt that's been around for a long time will choose Litecoin.  Ethereum is mainly a melting pot of whales, newbies who dumped their Bitcoin into it and people who don't appreciate the importance of longevity with altcoins.
536  Economy / Speculation / Re: There is no reason for small price changes, Stop looking! on: April 04, 2017, 07:03:14 AM
It's normal, but for day traders and most speculators it can be a huge indicator of the future, so they have to analyse the charts (even small fluctuations) very closely if they want to succeed in their Bitcoin trading.
537  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is more profitable, trading with Forex or trading with Crypto Currencies? on: April 04, 2017, 07:00:46 AM
I used to trade with Poloniex but I do not earn a lot, my loses from trading is higher than my profit, I think due to Bitcoin crazy price up and down. Until I try Forex trading using WhaleClub, where I trade currencies using Bitcoin.

To be honest I found trading with real currencies like: GBP/USD, EUR/USD is more profitable than trading with BTC/ETH, etc..

Do you agree?
Using trading altcoin is very much profitable than trading in Forex. Though you can make a huge profit in Forex, but it is also risky one wrong  move Forex can make down your funds. Unlike in bitcoin/altcoin trade you can minimize your loss anyhow.
Actually, altcoin trading is several times riskier than Forex because you have to be intelligent enough to choose a stable currency at the correct time otherwise you could lose nearly all of your money from a giant dump when you hop on the train of some shitcoin.  With Forex, the currencies (while not completely stable) are not generally as unstable as cryptocurrencies as they have to have real usage.
538  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-04-04]PRICE OF BITCOIN’S ‘LITE’ BROTHER IS SOARING AS SEGWIT SEEMS IMMINEN on: April 04, 2017, 06:56:00 AM
Litecoin might activate SegWit, but with Bitcoin it's for entirely different practical purposes.  Litecoin handles far less transactions, so it doesn't have any issues with scaling at the moment and it'll activate SegWit mainly to make transactions more secure, whereas with Bitcoin it's mostly about scaling, making more argument between different solutions.
539  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best trading exchange for privacy? on: April 04, 2017, 06:47:46 AM
Poloniex is great for that since you can store your Bitcoin in USDT and essentially trade it with that instead of actual US dollars, making the process much easier and not requiring verification (you can always keep most of your BTC in your wallet and take into fiat via LocalBitcoibs in large quantities later).
540  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig wright claims as satoshi? on: April 04, 2017, 06:42:41 AM
why are we even still arguing about this!

it is very simple. if you go to the bank and want to close your account for example they will ask you some identification, you can't tell the bank clerk i am me and you have to take my word for it, or say i showed my ID to some random guy and he approved i am me! you have to show proper identification to the bank clerk.

in bitcoin this is simple and verifiable by everyone and it is called signing a message with the private key, and it can not be forged like regular IDs.
All Satoshi would need to do is prove that he mined block zero (this would show that he accessed Bitcoin before anyone else and therefore was Satoshi).  It's pretty easy and Wright could just do it but he claims to have to "jump through hoops" to verify his identity.

Satoshi is better off as pseudonymous.  He doesn't need the attention.
