5581  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Wallet with deposit funciton. on: January 21, 2015, 12:43:23 PM
Ponzi has 100$ and up.
I just want create btc web wallet where users can deposit some funds if they want(10% month, thats just number)
thats is like bank, where you open you bank account and if you want you can deposit your free funds to saving account.


I think you're confused on how it works.

Wallet is not equivalent of bank. It's just a piece of software, it won't generate you any income.

If you want to earn % on your bitcoins, you'd need to invest them somehow. Note that any entity that guarantee you x% income on your bitcoin holding is most likely a scam.
5582  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can't understand the next block halving and it's impact on the price. on: January 21, 2015, 12:34:23 PM
...

And I would like to know this as well :

- When will be the next block halving after the next one occurring ?

Here's the block reward schedule, note that dates are only estimated:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply (scroll down)

Halvings should occur roughly every 4 years. So after the 2016, the next one should be in 2020/21.

This clock can be useful in tracing the next halving:

http://bitcoinclock.com/


- What is the speculation about the price after the next halving occur ?


The general hopes are that the price will rise. If so, it will likely go up before the halving.
But anything can happen really. It can increase 10-fold, but it could be increase from $20 to $200, or it could drop from $2000 to $1000.

Don't take any predictions too seriously.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting read.

The volume is indeed very low, but that only means there's a lot of room for growth. Hope BTC will get some more attention.

Found some article from October explaining problems with adoption in Brazil:

5584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Idle mining capacity a risk? on: January 20, 2015, 11:28:41 PM
While it is irrelevant to BTC functionality if large portions of miners are shut down, I can see one risk. The amount of idle SHA256 capacity is increasing compared to the working one. Difficulty drops too.

If at one point there is 10x more idle miners sitting around than active miners, a 51% attack becomes more likely. Bad guys (public or private) could pick up alot of cheap idle mining capacity and break the blockchain.

Opinions?

It surely is a risk. But as you wrote, the hashpower of idle miners would have to be multiple times greater than active ones to become a real threat.

You don't even need a 'bad guys' buying the idle power (it wouldn't make sense financially for them to do it), there'd be a greater threat from large ex-mining farms that still hold unused miners.

But I don't see such scenario likely to happen. First of all, the mining hardware that would be switched off in the first place, would be the old-generation ones, so less efficient and less powerful. Second of all, it would make more sense for the mining farm, that ceased operations, to try to sell unused miners (even at low cost) to others (hobby miners, or other farms with lower electricity and data-centre costs etc).

I just read this:
http://www.finance-guy.net/finblog/enroncoin

What do you guys think?

Would Bitcoin gain better traction if it offered the option to work with USD or EUR as well as bitcoin?

Am I correct to assume this is your blog? Most of your posts are links to that site.
5587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm fucking out. bitcoin will be over soon..confirmed. on: January 20, 2015, 02:18:34 PM
OP is a liar. Nobody sticks around for 4 years and then just gets out one random day. The protocol hasn't change so I doubt you are going anywhere.
Spot on. Probably an attempt to manipulate or influence the public by following his advice so that he has more time to buy 'cheap' coins.


...Or maybe just click on the links in the first post... or just read the post directly above yours?

Hello everyone,

Sorry that I haven't posted anything here lately, but my internship is consuming almost all of my time. These are the final two weeks, so things are getting busy and stressful for me. Rapports have to be written, code has to be checked, presentations have to be made, etc.

I will try update the OP somewhere this week, but please don't expect anything, because I can't promise you an update. After these two weeks it will be smooth sailing, but for now, please bear with me.

My opinion: I would bear with you a lot more happily if you'd take that advert of the front page.  As long as you're selling this thread, you should keep it up to date and not complain or say things like "don't expect anything".  If the advert is gone, then everything you said is very reasonable.  Again, just my opinion.

He's not selling this thread anymore than you are selling your account by placing paid-for signature.

Do you really have a problem with the ad itself (can't focus on the content because of it?), or are you just butt-hurt that OP is earning something around ~$5/10 days on it?

Z tymi refami to różnie jest. Polityka forum jest taka, żeby nie spamować nimi i zdaje się, że o to głównie chodzi. Pewnie jednego by Ci wybaczyli i tutaj Wink

Jak Ci poszła cała impreza?

10 osob uzbieralo sie szybciej niz myslalem, ale nie trzymalem sie swoich zasad i wysylalem tipy nawet do tych co nie zrobili zadnego depozytu.

Wiadomo ze na natychmiastowy zysk z referrali nie ma co liczyc. Nie zwroci mi sie to nawet w 1/10. Cala zabawa polega na tym zeby przyciagnac chociaz jednego/dwoch powazniejszych graczy ktorzy beda grail w miare regularnie. Wtedy masz szanse na to ze wydatki na promocje sie zwroca (w dluzszym okresie). A jesli nie - to trudno, to nie sa duze pieniadze.

Jak chcesz to zapisz sie przez moj ref: https://safedice.com/?r=488 i daj mi znac swoj username, to podesle ci jakiegos tipa wieczorem.

5590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sucks its nearly impossible to sell tangible goods for BTC! on: January 20, 2015, 12:22:00 PM
100% agree. We really need a solid eBay style website (but proper one, not some half-assed effort).

But it should not aim only at bitcoin community, imo it should allow fiat payments as well to not limit itself to narrow group of buyers/sellers. And there's plenty of business sellers out there who would welcome a solid alternative to ebay and amazon.

I know there's cryptothrift, but they don't advertise too much, and don't have much to offer especially to non-US buyers. And also the owners became non responsive lately, so not very comforting:

is this project dead? tried to contact the site in many ways [also here] but 0 replies.

Same. It seems like the owners have gone AWOL.

They usually come on IRC but when I go on, I cant find them.

5591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Markets Weekly: Seeking Answers After The Crash on: January 19, 2015, 10:49:10 PM
New article by CoinDesk on the recent price crash:

http://www.coindesk.com/markets-weekly-seeking-answers-crash/

Quote
Why did the price fall?

In the wake of the crash analysts were left to figure out what caused it. Pantera was among the first to issue a report with a special newsletter sent to subscribers on the 14th.

The Pantera analysis names margin trading as one of the possible causes for the price decline, pointing to a record high in BTC swaps, used to short the bitcoin price, on Bitfinex.

Pantera also cites the widely held theory that miners are a possible culprit behind the price drop, as those who mine "commercially" have to constantly sell coins to recoup costs and turn a profit.

But the fund also offers two novel explanations for recent price weakness. As Bitstamp was taken offline in the wake of a security breach that saw thieves steal about $5m, bids worth roughly the amount were on its books. These orders were cancelled when the exchange suspended trading. As a result,  Pantera says, the bitcoin price didn't have the benefit of these buy orders as its decline began.

The fund also says that a rise in venture capital invested in bitcoin firms may also have meant that funds normally bound for a direct investment in bitcoin may now be diverted into companies working on bitcoin instead. This translates into less capital sloshing through the bitcoin markets.

Offering to meet "anywhere in NYC" or Jersey for 20 BTC trades?

Seriously? Clearly these guys were already involved in very risky behavior, too many drugs must have given them a sense of invincibility.

Thats not too crazy? They could always meet clients in a bank or something. Not that risky imo.


"We will deliver at any time."

Banks close at 5pm, so where do you meet someone who wants a midnight delivery?

Apparently they had a shotgun and a hammer, maybe that's what made them feel secure.

I think one thing that may case to bitcoin, I read Some where that BTC can be used for feeding Terrorist and other Illegal ways like black money transfer, laundering money etc. People can send their Black money any where with out being located.

~ OTS ~

That's correct. These are real facts not only rumors.

Care to share at least one of these facts where bitcoin was used to sponsor terrorist? I'm not talking about some guy speculating that bitcoin could be used for such, I'm talking about confirmed facts.

Thanks in advance


yes:   https://alkhilafaharidat.wordpress.com/

Can't see it... Can you copy/paste the relevant part?
Also, if these are 'real facts' I'm sure you can find any more serious source than wordpress blog?

Well see here: http://www.sitepronews.com/2014/10/06/bitcoin-used-fund-terrorism/

Secindly: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-05-07/department-defense-study-bitcoin-terrorist-threat

It might be helpful for you.

That's not what I asked for. I asked Mayax to provide proof when Bitcoin was actually used for sponsoring terrorists ('real facts').
So far we only have speculations that it could be used for such, but no evidence of that happening.

So looks like, at least so far, all the terrorists are perfectly happy with using fiat (despite all the restrictions of money transfers etc).

All the above didn't wager yet, but I sent anyway and I hope you'll place a few bets.

Registered : Username same as here !

@geforcelover, I tried to send you a tip but got 'Account not found' message.

So I'm guessing it must be something like "geforvelover-19xx" (with digits on the end). Let me know and I'll re-send.

1965 user id i think

Nope, didn't work. Just create a new user account and let me know

in hind sight...  those poor employees.  Grin

Why? If they got paid when BTC was at~$170 then they're probably pretty happy right now. It's all about timing.
And I'm guessing most of them opted for small % of their salaries to be paid in bitcoin anyway.
