5501  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin And Blockchain Jobs In The U.S. Are Surging on: October 18, 2018, 10:45:21 PM
I posted this last month: The Cryptocurrency Job Market Is Exploding (Infographic)
Quote
...Between December 2016 and December 2017, there was a 207 percent increase in job postings for Blockchain positions on Indeed.com...

...Unsurprisingly, the tech-savvy state of California employs nearly 30 percent of the country’s crypto employees -- the most of any state. Of course, if moving across the country is out of the picture, another 15 percent of crypto jobs in the U.S. are remote....
https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/314203

The stats are not surprising when you consider the USA is like the "promised" land for any startup, lol.

Quote
As of August 2018, there were 1,775 bitcoin and blockchain-related job openings in the U.S. — up from 693 at the beginning of the year and 446 at this time last year.

The Federal Reserve is a private entity and works like this for decades.
Banks and the US government ask loans and get money created magically. The taxpayer is not paying for the bank loans but when it's about the government loans, it creates a debt for each citizen (when you give birth there, your kid has already a debt of $50,000)

With the scriptural money, the money doesn't exist physically, only in a database, it's created magically based on the fractional reserve rate. If the money stays scriptural that could be ok, but if people suddenly decide to go to the ATM and transfer out everything in cash, then the drama will start.

Have you tried using advertising networks? The thread was last updated in 2016 but most of the networks are still running: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1108616.0

The guy is most interested to get a few promoters from here who will promote their affiliate URL to get the commission (from the CPA model)
It's interesting for the person with a blog, channel,... If not then there are still some ways, but the person will need to have a budget to advertise
5504  Economy / Economics / Re: VISA and MasterCard tighten the requirements for the issuers of the bitcoin card on: October 18, 2018, 06:29:07 PM
"cryptocurrency" and "cryptocurrency options" are the same thing for them. They generalized the term to include different business types under the crypto activity. The article isn't telling it but the question remains what are the requirements asked to the issuers.
KYC? Don't they enough ask the customers, ID scan, selfies,... next is the nudes photos? Genealogy report back to level 8?
5505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: blockchain.com via Twitter: "Something "big" is coming" on: October 18, 2018, 12:47:56 PM
It's not about an airdrop/ICO from Blockchain.com itself. But it will partner with some ICO projects. I suppose by distributing the coins on behalf of the ICO campaign. At least it's what I understand.
Blockchain will do the due diligence for people (more lazy they can be so) and can serve as an authority in a near future. Most ICO will beg to partner with blockchain.com hehe

Quote
Blockchain.com also notes that airdrops can benefit crypto creators by facilitating decentralization. Crypto teams usually allocate their tokens to internal groups, partners, and public sales. But by distributing tokens freely via an airdrop, creators can ensure that their coin is spread far and wide. As the paper notes, each cryptocurrency becomes more useful as more people gain access to it.

The paper outlines a number of guidelines that Blockchain.com will follow in order to decide which coins to partner with

Quote
Although Blockchain.com will curate reputable tokens and airdrop them directly to users, airdrops are not safe from scams
5506  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-17]Police Warns Users of New Deadly Ransomware Scam & Urge Not to Pay t on: October 18, 2018, 12:21:12 PM
You could be surprised at a company how the workers are using the computers. Lack of security protocols, lack of knowledge and people who don't take care enough are creating a lot of potential risks.

I know 2 small companies that got a ransomware: 1 has paid the money, the other one has been out of business and closed with several people suddenly unemployed.

- The first didn't have a choice. Clients, providers, accounting, data, everything was on the computer and nothing can be done without data. After 2-3 weeks (without to be able to work) the founder couldn't wait anymore to see IF something can be done. So he decided to pay the ransom to save the company.

- The second one didn't have enough money to pay. Without to be able to continue to work he didn't have the choice to close his manufacture. And all the workers became jobless.

So I would say depending on the situation it can be a wise thing to pay
5507  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [LIST] Free EU bank accounts that you can be opened directly online on: October 17, 2018, 10:51:04 PM
Look like they are spinning their business model and do like a lot of Eu banks introduced, supposed to be a"maintenance monthly fee". They would have to introduce this from the start and not after 1 year of operation. Since they claim to be a bank, be ready to get the as with your bank
5508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is a poor form of money for terrorists. on: October 17, 2018, 08:17:31 PM
A poor is just a little exaggerated from the author. It's simply that they have no use of it. They make money with dollars and have dollars to use. Why should they bother to convert it. The same for you if you are paid in dollars. Why should you convert it to the SecondLife currency if you have no use of it (no merchants use it, no bill can be paid with,...). I can also take as an example, Zimbabwe dollars, oil, aluminum,...

I tried the demo and wasn't able to find the section to place the trades. Or does the site only collect data from the connected accounts and perform no trading actions?
Free users have not the Multi-exchange feature, so what they could do on the site?
5510  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamental issues that will create bull run again! on: October 17, 2018, 06:30:47 PM
Institutional investors have long ago started to come into crypto. It's not because (with the link you posted) Fidelity integrated the digital assets this week that's you can say "Now, Institutional investors will come"
Grayscale Investments is managing 8-9 cryptos for clients https://grayscale.co/about/ and it's not the only one
5511  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Issue in SSL (HTTP to HTTPS) Please help on: October 17, 2018, 06:15:34 PM
Purchased SSL and installed successfully from Cpanel. But still, my website does not redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.
please guide me.

You don't need to install it from your CPanel only. You have to enable it in you WP panel too.
Somewhere in "General settings" > "your website url"

The setting needs to be changed manually from "http:// thewebsitename.com" to "https:// the websitename.com"
Click update and that it. You can so remove the plugin installed before.
5512  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Pump Service By Yobit! on: October 17, 2018, 05:47:53 PM
It is called market manipulation and of course, forbidden in most countries. I can imagine a bigger exchange busted doing it and the result on the new media. As a company, you can get real trouble. Don't know where Yobit is located but you can be sure that soon or later Yobit will know how it is to play with the fire
5513  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-10-15] Bitcoin Price Explodes to $7,500 as Tether Loses USD Peg on: October 17, 2018, 11:52:18 AM

Exactly why people should rethink this drivel about stablecoins. If this is all it took to cause the peg to collapse, imagine what would happen if a similar event with even twice the magnitude happened, and across all Tether holding exchanges.

For all the volatility of Bitcoin, this is something foreseen many times for Tether and its ilk.

All stablecoins are inherently centralized, so what's the point of having centralized cryptocurrency in the first place? Yeah, people can conduct transactions without intermediaries, no one can seize their coins and so on, but still there is a huge central point of failure that can result in massive loss of value. It sounds paradoxical, but stability comes with the risk.

For people who don't care and have no interest in decentralization and are only in the market for a profit. The banking industry has also few points of failure and it resulted as you describe a massive lost (crash 1919-2008, money devalued in countries,...) It's not a problem for the people I was referring to, at least they will still own a digital currency

5515  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Lightning network explorer mainnet. on: October 16, 2018, 08:00:28 PM
What about adding a few charts as blockchain.com explorer has? channels and nodes by capacity. The site is clean and straight to the point but  you should give it another design, or at least to change the color header

Lightning node: FederalReserve https://lightblock.me/lightning-node/0327049d8d63f0c40193cdf3afc61817c8647808a4e482de0716fcef74e6d92ebf

This is a step to the mass adoption Cheesy
5516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Bringing Privacy To Life [EX ZenCash] on: October 16, 2018, 07:11:50 PM
When is the algorithm change? I want to get video cards.

Save your money man, or use GPU to mine another coin. There will be no change in the algorithm. Zen team might be right long term to don['t change it, but short term is a disaster.

And it's the right thing to do. To think for the long-term, you can't go for a short is you're building a serious cryptocurrency infrastructure. Otherwise, you will be like stuck in your expansion in the future. 
5517  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fidelity announces a new company that will handle cryptocurrency custody on: October 16, 2018, 06:18:11 PM
It's just about forwarding the problem but if it's the only way then we would need more startups like this one to attract investors in a friendly environment. Even if it is not the only one, the more choices there are, the more people will be attracted to it.
5518  Economy / Economics / Re: Planning for Brexit: Crypto Exchange Giant Coinbase Opens Office in Ireland on: October 16, 2018, 11:32:09 AM
With the Brexit, we will see an exodus of start-ups and established companies moving from England. A lot of them are working on it since months.
Not surprising to see Coinbase following the same path but I disagree to say Ireland is attractive for the financial industry. A lot of medium and large enterprises are there mainly to avoid the high taxes (i.e. Google)
5519  Other / Meta / Re: New form of shit-posting on: October 16, 2018, 11:08:39 AM
It isn't something new, unfortunately. Check out the "Press", you will figure some threads starter love it! The economy board is also infested.
When you see one from time to time it isn't much annoying, but when you see a member doing it continuously, it's clear the user has no interest to participate in a conversation with others :/
5520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Total Ban on Crypto Exchanges Unnecessary: Hong Kong Regulator on: October 16, 2018, 10:16:41 AM
If people start to take a look finally to the decentralized exchanges platforms then the problem wouldn't be it anymore.

true but the decentralized exchanges work best when you are only concerned about trading cryptocurrency with cryptocurrency. for example when you are trading bitcoin/altcoins. otherwise when fiat is involved the centralized exchanges will always be the best because despite all the time consuming and annoying KYC verification it still is a lot safer than dealing with a random person on the internet with fiat which has a lot of ways to scam you with it.
I would prefer to not be a victim of a KYC rather than lending my coin to a website type that is regularly hacked
There is Bisq, with crypto/fiat exchange and the person receiving the fiat payment is somewhat protected. You can have an arbitration process. Also, Bisq removes banks well know to dispute a "fraudulent" transfers

 
Quote
There is a trade limit per trade, which is generally too small to attract criminals.

2. We will remove national currency payment methods which are found to be used for chargebacks.

3. We introduce with version 0.6.0 a new feature for detecting the age when a payment account has been set up. Recently opened accounts will have lower trade limits. This adds protection against stolen-bank-account-scams.
