5381  Other / Off-topic / Re: Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift? on: July 05, 2017, 08:15:32 AM
I would, but only to a few very specific friends who are also very much interested in crypto-currencies.
And it wouldn't be the only gift I'd give them, giving Bitcoins is a bit unpersonal, but in the end, who doesn't like to get money....

I'd probably also give a selection of good altcoins.

I guess this will be good idea. And I will do the same thing, only for few friends whom I know interested in bitcoin or in web currency since I knew some of my friends who were in bitcoin mow and earning. I am excited now for then to get married and give them a gift of bitcoin. Also do not wait to get marry, we can give bitcoin gifts to our Girl friends also.

To double your bitcoins it will take time and hard work, my advice is to select trading because it is the best option to earn a good profit, cloud mining is risky because mostly of them are scam. Try to learn about the market and coins you are going to buy and start trading.

Look i give you an example , It seems that the later evening hours in the USA are busier, but the rates are not there and that the early morning shows a lot of better rates, but with a limited scope of trade, so treat the people right and build a reputation.  Once you have a repute and no sign of scam people will give you good trust in local bitcoins making it good for both sender and receiver.
 
5383  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: DNotes 2.0 - Bridging the Gap Between the Centralized and Decentralized World on: June 27, 2017, 07:02:44 PM

It is like we are being turned into the pod people or something.  I fully appreciate what the dev has put together, but we don't want a bridge between decentralized and centralized.  The entire concept and idea of Bitcoin is to be completely decentralized.


Hi taxmanmt5, and welcome to the DNotes forum.

1. We are not a copycat of bitcoin or any other alt.
2. If every currency replicates the same concept and idea as bitcoin, that would make them the pod people...  Wink


The minute that we begin to attack a person, a company or any controlling interest to a coin or token, we lose that one forever.  It is too much power to place in a single system.  Because of the nature of crypto, to put a controlling force over that will result in a corruption from within, no matter how trusted the entity.
DNotes is no doubt a real trusted company.

Peersoin was created to test a hybrid POS and POW and see if the weaknesses and strengths could create a perfect monster.  Doge was the fifth coin, made in 2013.  It was designed specifically to be modified as time passed.  Peercoin was suggested, but it was having some success and rather than mess that up they made a new coin.  The Doge meme was used and made public as a test of the power of the social media system to give value to a coin.
5385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] TenX [ICO] end of June: making Blockchain assets spendable on: June 27, 2017, 06:22:39 PM
The only reason that we have not touched it to this point is because of the banking license.  That means that this has left decentralized currency behind and is not part of this world anymore, it belongs up there with paypal and the others.  That does not make it a bad thing, simply something that the government can readily seize, demand records for and control and that is not what traders are looking for.
5386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA - the scam is being pumped hard now don't fall for the trap on: June 27, 2017, 07:07:08 AM
Github is not something that most devs use much of the time.  It is really there to provide the open source code for the public.  Any real dev is using a Git server of their own to share with the team or, if there is no team, they may not even need to have up to date code in multiple locations or they use a simpler method.

Our old software company put out software for 18 years before we ever touched a github account.  For someone that is working on something and has not finished or released publicly yet, they might as well hang a "steal my idea" sign on the project if they put it on github.  That is a final step and a way to keep the releases up to date for the public, not something that will be used often.

We will take a look, but the usual set up of these sites is to give away free hash and then act like you have a payout coming and set ridiculous withdrawal limits and require buyins at a too large amount.  Not to mention that, the website appears to be a trusted site which can be used safely.

5388  Economy / Services / Re: ---> Micro services for FREE - [Official Thread] on: June 27, 2017, 05:08:10 AM
Maybe you can create a database and attack a live version here for a running list.  That way when a job is taken up or changed the information can be quickly updated and the post itself can be kept high in the thread.  There are plenty of ways to make it happen, but I am not sure how the forum will act on the live content. I have seen people try to post live coin calendar info and it never works right.
5389  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Are these services allowed? on: June 27, 2017, 02:26:54 AM
Not talking about the rules of the forum, but since you are dealing with airline tickets what are the federal regulations and how do they change your business.  Having nothing to do with crypto, the airlines have some obvious thoughts about airline safety and terroism and the like. 

I do not know what their internal procdeures are as far as passengers, but they have the control when the tickets come through them and the third party companies are supposed to send the name and place of origin for all sales within 90 minutes.
Just curious what you have run into since you are basically selling a seat on a plane to an anonymous person.  Either way, the airlines will get them at the airport and fully profile them based on who knows what criteria.
5390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN] [ICO] [DST] Presearch: Decentralized Search Engine on: June 26, 2017, 07:21:56 PM
It's too bad how annoucement thread without any information details about project. One link for all? NO.

I think most readers like to see the detail in a page, instead of click once more and go to another website. So, I think it is better to paste some key information from the website to this thread, it means the PRE-ANN is formal.

I think some of these pre-ann get hit too hard and too quick, especially if the person/dev is new to the paranoid and abusive crypto forums.  Lots of time I believe that they put the pre-ann out there to give the public an idea of what is coming and what they are doing.  They are in the muck of coding and developing the project and want to give people a heads up with the thread and then spend two hours a day answering questions about a project that they have not even fully flushed out yet.
5391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0 on: June 26, 2017, 07:00:21 PM
People think that it is the third coin, it is not and they think that they all came within a little period of time understand a few months.  Bitcoin was the first, it is what it is.  Litecoin was the experiment in a different and less intense mining algo, 2011, two years later.  Namecoin was the third, the first coin to be created to serve a purpose and was intended as the doorway for cryptos into the world, showing that they were  good for currency and much more, it was designed to take over DNS.

Do you use the data within the TX's in the property system or is the token/coin just a currency to serve the business model.  Between the inclusion of metadata and some scripting, this could be a lot of fun.  I doubt there is enough room in the TX for a full json/meta set of a property listing, but a reference to an outside database could exist. 
5393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Vitalik openly admits he doesn't trust his creation on: June 26, 2017, 06:12:15 PM
This is not surprising. Vitalik think crypto currencies are not %100 trusted at this moment. Satoshi thought the same. He said in 20 years either very high transaction volume or none. I don't blame Vitalik for that response. He created something and he's still developing it. But there's a real world outside, besides crypto currencies.

The points is history when I made the most money off of bitcoin are the periods when I had the highest concerns.  Just because a person has some concerns is not a statement that they are not doing this and that despite those concerns.  Besides, he said it was with the "sector", not sure what he means by this, but obviously the term brings more than the coins and code into play, sectors usually include the people and that is always where my biggest issues lie.
5394  Other / Archival / Re: . on: June 26, 2017, 04:57:10 PM
I suggest that after purchase you close and lock the thread down.  There are too many people here that have been in business awhile and they can easily have this duplicated for a small cost.  Not trying to hurt your sales, it is a pretty cool thing you got there, but those of us that use a private label lab can have a company print ten boxes in a short period and half the time it will get done for free as a sample of their work.
5395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will people start moving their savings to Bitcoin in case of a financial crash? on: June 26, 2017, 04:32:11 PM
You also do realize that this magical crash that you are speaking of is pretty much impossible at this point right?  After 1972, with the fall of the gold standard, the fate of the FIAT world is in direct control of the government and they will do what needs to be done to appear to not be a dire straits when they come. 
5396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CPU sweetspot on: June 26, 2017, 04:05:09 PM
a celeron can handle a miner with identical cards (eg all 480s), but is under more load if mixing algorithms (such as zcash on 3xx cards simultaneous to eth on 4xx cards) and shows a bit of delay. works fine, but you might consider $20 more for an i3 on mixed rigs

Very good to know.  I feel good about going with the pentium (G4620).  Incidentally the performance difference between the kaby lake pentium and the kaby lake i3 is negligable.  Both are dual core with 4 threads.  The main difference seems to be the i3 has the avx extensions, which won't make the slightest bit of difference if I'm not cpu mining.

The only difference points would be a hugely mis-built system.  The data does have to travel through the CPU RAM and could bottleneck some if the numbers would ridiculous.  A mid-range 32 GB GPU card, flowing into a PC with 1 GB of RAM might see the data slow some upon entering the FSB.

User built systems might get this jacked up, but the big culprit are the PC companies flooding places like Wal-mart with PC's that are widely different and built off a small base of motherboards.
This might put a system on the sales floor with lower PC specs, but nothing stopping a user from dropping two video cards in the box.  Too many generic stock boards used to built a wide set of spec'd PC's.
 
5397  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: Where to mine with quick pay out? on: June 25, 2017, 07:50:50 PM
Not really enough information there to answer your question fully, but here are some important facts.  First, limit your payouts.  I know that you want to get your hands on your coins, but each payout comes with a fee and that will eat up your money.  Imagine that the transfers are all ATM withdrawals and they all have that $4 ATM fee, although the network fees on alt coins vary, the concept is the same.
Now, this is a hard one to fully understand, but can be very important.
5398  Economy / Economics / Re: What don't you like about Banks and Banks controlling your money on: June 25, 2017, 05:00:20 PM
We were at a bar the other day and the owner moved some people for us to have a closer look at the stage, the people made comment that we were "elitist", we responded with the single and undeniable fact that we were not "elitist", we were the "elite".  Bitcoin has made some new elite people out there and you need to learn from those that were there before you, demand the best, demand to be put above other people and demand it all now.  
5399  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrency is the fastest? on: June 25, 2017, 04:25:47 PM
You are not looking for speed alone.  The fastest that you will find is a newly created coin, the rewards will pop and the coins will fly provided that you are backing yourself with a node or some mining.  You need there to be some value in the coin also and you need there to be a place to exchange that coin or use it to purchase items.  Your thread has actually brought an interesting thought to mind.
5400  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Segwit and the fork on: June 25, 2017, 08:51:50 AM
Hi,

Please could someone explain the concept of hard fork, soft fork and segwit.

What is the background? why is it happening? and what are the potential implications?

Thanks

Ok, here's the big difference and how it applies to most users.  Let's say that I have 10 BTC in a wallet, software wallet, and a coder decides that he has a better system for Bitcoin, he alters the code and hard forks the new chain, if the consensus of the nodes like his chain better and use it, and the hard fork becomes the dominant fork, then my wallet, my address and my balance are meaningless.
