541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sorry to all who buy Zcash at 1btc + on: November 08, 2016, 01:11:24 PM
If Zcash had opened at 0.2 BTC and remained fairly stable, would people be so against it? Is it worse that most other Alts?

Obviously that didn't happen and you can only sit back and be amazed at the stupidity of some people, but is the coin flawed, or are the people who bought it?

Bitcoin seems more along Trump's alley that Hillary's.
It is a bit like PMs, he likes those.  It could be used to move money around, not always in a legal setting, he likes that too!

Hillary is the status quo, she will back the USD to the hilt. I hope she wins, but Trump could well be better for Bitcoin.
543  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What the hell is going on with ZCash? on: November 01, 2016, 07:41:35 PM
I can't imagine that the price will be higher than 1btc for long, but it is good for speculation in the meantime!
544  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have bitcoin AND debt? on: August 17, 2016, 08:56:48 AM
the same thing for me to be honest, though it is not that kind of a loan that will follow you for your whole life and then go to your children when you die as you might not even pay it if you dont earn a decent wage, though i still have some bitcoins

In the UK student debt is only cancelled at the age of 67 or something equally silly. They're also very tenacious. They're still chasing a friend of mine 23 years after they took the loan out.

If I hadn't earnt more than the payback threshold by the age of 67 I'd be asking for compensation for being provided with a shit education.

I think the with the new system they are written off after 25 years. The threshold is 17500 pounds per year, so the average person earns about 5k more than that, so will pay 450 per year (9%).
I think people nowadays have like 50k of debt sometimes, so at 450 per year, it might take a while to pay back!

Crazy stuff happens in the short term in crypto (e.g. DOGE) but I don't see your DAO unicorns coin taking off somehow.

hi NUFCrichard!!!
what are you meaning about "Crazy stuff happens in the short term in crypto (e.g. DOGE) "

it's a coin based on a meme of a dog with stupid gramatically incorrect phrases next to it! I am not sure it will be a serious world currency in the future!
It had a market cap of nearly $100 million at one point, that is crazy!
546  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH Foundation was basically caught trading stolen coins in exchanges on: August 17, 2016, 08:34:55 AM
I don't understand how Poloniex can decide to freeze funds that were 'stolen'?
They chose to allow ETC, which is a similar situation, surely if they are being laissez-faire, they shouldn't freeze anything!

Do they now sit on these coins, or return then?

548  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have bitcoin AND debt? on: August 12, 2016, 11:58:45 AM
I have a student loan, but in the UK that is a different kind of debt.  It is more like a tax as if I don't earn, I don't have to pay back the loan.
Otherwise I am debt free and own Bitcoin.

Bro I am Very Sad For Your Loss But Bro If you are Using 2FA Verification it is 99% Impossible to Hijack Your account.....
You can Contact the Support For Further information.....

Why are you writing like that? also 99% impossible doesn't make sense, something is either impossible or possible.

@OP you should post this is scam accusations.  It sucks, but better that is happens with $40 than $400. I wonder why they left you 700 satoshis?
550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Safe Cryptocurrency on: August 03, 2016, 02:08:41 PM
A safe cryptocurrency is an oxymoron.

If you mean safe as in it won't be hacked, 51% attacked, stolen, forked, or otherwise negatively affected? If so, then try precious metals.
551  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Fork...Confused on: August 03, 2016, 01:16:33 PM
I am reading a few topics about bitcoin forking. Is this really happening?

Can anyone care to explain why Bitcoin is all of a sudden forking?

Is that because of the hack?

And is this a good thing for bitcoin?
Bitcoin isn't forking, ETH forked. People might be drawing parallels between the DAO theft and the Bitfinex Bitcoin theft, so are saying that Bitcoin should fork.
Bitcoin won't fork, it is a differenct set of circumstances, and the whole ETC/ETH mess shows that forks aren't a great idea anyway.

552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Poloniex is going crazy. You need to watch ETC. Parity with ETH maybe tonight. on: August 03, 2016, 01:10:27 PM
i have been watching these coin since yesterday in poloniex and actually poloniex is no going to crazy but seems ETC will going to crazy and i really love this pump even though BTC prices has falling down but ETC has comforted me

This is not a pump. It's a revolution.
Be careful what you wish for. Your revolution has a someone holding 10% of all the coins, who will happily sell into the market when they get control of them.
There is nothing you can do about it either, as that is the whole point of ETC!

In 6 months time, I don't see ETC being 10% of the price of ETH. In the near future, who the hell knows how high it will be pumped.
553  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex. Will they cover the 65 million dollar BTC Theft or just fold? on: August 03, 2016, 06:11:13 AM
They either need to raise $65M in capital. Unlikely they can do it themselves internally. More likely someone from outside will come it and offer a bailout for a good chunk of their shares.
Give everyone a haircut, and run a fractional reserve with Finextokens in hope they can recover with time and that market will believe them? Depends on % of the haircut, and if it would even be legal? Probably would need major creditors to agree to this?
Or go mtgox, belly up.

I'm guessing 30% someone from outside (coinbase? Winterflosses?) coming in and saving the day, 30% everyone would get a haircut, and 30% they fold

Even if they raise the 65mil, it will make them weak going forward.  You would have to assume it would be a loan, so they would take on debt, just to get them back to the situation they were in a few days ago.
Sucks for Bitfinex and bitcoin all round.

Can someone please post this coining weekend's lottery numbers too?
Thanks in advance
555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETC on Polo on: July 26, 2016, 08:12:36 AM
There is a massive pump going on at the moment, can't the DAO hacker start cashing out today?
I am expecting a pretty impressive dump soon, and I don't mean that my stomach is rumbling!
556  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you change your ETH to ETC? on: July 25, 2016, 09:45:35 AM
What is that even mean? pre forked ? wasn't the fork to destroy all the old eth? then how can some one goes and buys something that is going to be destroyed? yes you should be able to trade the eth you had with new ones but only to destroy them after , it was suppose to happen like that right?

etc = eth - fork. So nothing is destroyed or refunded on etc chain. The dao hacker can enjoy his few-milions of etc. Now thanks to polo and miners supporting etc, the hacker  can safely dump his etc on the market and still cashout his stolen dao funds.  

Seems a fair analysis.
I am against bail outs and centralization, but I wouldn't support ETC here, it is just giving money to a hacker/thief.

All serious users will use ETH going forward, for speculative purposes ETH seems to be the way to go.
557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Has Any Altcoin Ever Really Gone to the Moon? on: July 24, 2016, 12:59:24 PM
Quark went from about 30 satoshis to 30000 in a month or 2 in 2014.
That is pretty moon-like. Though now it is at 751 satoshis, pretty much dead.
558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETC on Polo on: July 24, 2016, 12:44:11 PM
Minimum situation?  The two reach parity - one way or another.  After that it's anyone's guess what happens.

That is not the minimum situation, the minimum situation is the the ETC bubble has already popped and is on it's way down to zero.

Unless someone picks it up and runs with ETC, I don't see that it has any value.  ETH has value because people will build on it, the devs will be working on ETH. ETC is just for p&d.
559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some guy threatens ETC (Ethereum Classic) with a 51% attack on: July 24, 2016, 12:39:36 PM
Would that not be acceptable to the ETC defenders? He wouldn't be breaking any rules.
560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETC on Polo on: July 24, 2016, 07:31:24 AM
So can the hacker and those that he paid off now cash out through ETC?

Surely only the part of the chain that was rolled back will be lost from ETH, all contracts made before then should still be there.
