he's hoping that maybe he find the pool that has minded the block and they will refund him.
btw I'm sorry for him
Exactly, like the other time (with the 2 btc fee). Discus fish mined it.... oh. you were asking for updates. misunderstood that.  well there's this reddit post but that's it. no refund and no owner requesting it (in public, at least.). I wasn't even around at that time. can't find discussion about it with the owner posting in it and requesting a refund, but the address the fee was returned to wasn't a part of that tx so I think they did request it. interesting thing is that people also suggested that it was a money laundering. |

News about that bitcoin transaction ?
it's just an embarrassing mistake made by some user. why would it get in the news? |
|
|
|
the source is blockchain, and obviously the top 100 addresses are included only.
you can speculate as to why the coins are in those top 100 addresses, but you cannot speculate as to whether the number of coins has increased, that is fact.
can you link to the source or explain how you get it? bitcoinrichlist only shows 3,047,804 BTC. and some of them are probably cold wallets of exchanges. |

I think the governments will never allow that to happen. fiats may decrease in value, but won't die entirely.

What is criteria for hiring these Staff+Moderators is any way other then this forum or all came from here and need only experience and knowledge of this all stuff
this is a forum that supports the free-speech and lot of trade activity so knowledge (shown by the number of your good reports) is more important than experience outside of this forum IMO. also theymos won't get a new staff unless there's a need of additional manpower. and obviously the track records of your account(s) counts too. here's an admin's reply to a question much like yours. Good report history, posts and actions that show you understand forum policy, activity (and when you are active could also play a part in it, mods at certain times could be more needed than others), etc. Being a good poster or trustworthy doesn't mean one would make a good moderator.
Finding mods for foreign language boards presents unique challenges, so there's no real set way to go about that. Sometimes it's by polls, sometimes it's just because a certain person has expressed an interest in moderating the board (either by their actions, or by "applying"), etc. It tends to be a more community driven decision, because acting like you know someone because you used google translate on their posts is dumb (though foreign language mods do need to be able to communicate with us in english).

You mean it depends on the seller I'm dealing with ?
no. I mean the escrow. just to make sure there's no confusion. it's not the site who's doing the escrowing but their users.
I'm not sure about this. What does it mean ? Which user to trust with this job?! *I might send you a PM in regards to what I'm exactly looking forward to do if you don't mind? it means it's similar to bitcointalk escrows where the users are doing the escrowing and not the site itself. *I wouldn't mind at all.  |

So in case they refuse to choose a side on a dispute to have it resolved, the coins will get stuck there and will be considered as a loss for everyone ?(for both the buyer and seller.. even for the escrow service provider, correct?)
yes. but it's very unlikely to happen with trusted agents. +1: in case the seller offers his key to the service provider site, the site can run away with my money and then split it up with the seller as a part of the agreement, am I right ? yep. - Would you trust bitrated.com for not doing any of these with high volume trades ? (20-50 bitcoins) no idea. depends on who you're dealing with.
just to make sure there's no confusion. it's not the site who's doing the escrowing but their users. |

Let's assume me(the buyer), the seller and the site holds 1-1-1 key, there's gonna be a dispute between me and the seller and the site seems not being interested in resolving this for me. What's gonna happen then? The bitcoins will get stuck there and everyone's loosing ?
they will have to choose a side once they see all the necessary proofs. not doing so will hurt their rep. it's either you or the seller. it's the same as normal escrow service, really. the only difference is that the escrow can't run away with the funds (unless the buyer/seller assists them.) |
|
|
|
yep. the wiki is missing a lot of stuff. the ones who's updating it is just normal users, or service owners that wants their site listed. |
|
|
|
I assume you've previous experience with coinb.in and bitrated.com
both parties offer multi-signature escrow.. but which do you think is the most safe to go with ?
Many thanks for your input!
never with coinb.in escrow, but I've used the site few times for other stuff. I've used bitrated only twice (didn't run to any problem.). personally I'd go with bitrated. |
|
|
|
I haven't heard anything about escrowmybits.com. try coinb.in or bitrated.com. |
|
|
|
I want to buy something from here (bitcointalk) but I can't find any escrow provider (all of them offline or outdated).
Please PM if you know someone is online.
Thanks
have you gone through this list? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0OgNasty seems to be online. |

I would advise you to use the escrows from this forum. but since you don't want to use them... just pick a service that uses 2 of 3 multisignature transactions. that way the escrow don't actually hold the funds. for more on multi-sig, read this -> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Multisignature |

Bank of England looks into ‘centralised’ bitcoin alternative, RSCoin https://thestack.com/cloud/2016/03/10/bank-of-england-looks-into-centralised-bitcoin-alternative-rscoin/Referring to transparency of funds, Meiklejohn explained that an RSCoin ledger could be published publicly by a central bank. She added that the system’s design would also allow a central bank to make transactions entirely, or partially, anonymous.
Why Banks wound not be happy with fully transparent ledger? What are their afraid of? And why to centralized it? What's the point of centralized cryptocurrency then? They already have centralized system anyway currently. they want it centralized because if not then they will not have control over people's money. they are happy with transparent ledger. that's actually all they want. nothing more, nothing less. |

Super excited and attentively been following this for a while. Looks a great piece of work in progress coming along. The possibilities are endless with a legitimate decentralized open-source marketplace. Who knows what interesting items from around the world and specific region/area items will be made available.
After reading the blog, just noticed the bring up disputes with a moderator if the vendor doesn't send your item/product or you have issues with your order. Great to see another added layer of if you could so can call it customer service.
as I understand it, the "moderators" are actually just escrows. and they're just normal users (they don't work for OpenBazaar). make sense because the whole decentralized thing would be a lie if they're holding people's funds. |
|
|
|
Do we need to download a software for this marketplace to work? Sounds kinda fishy to me. Why isn't it just an online service for us to conduct business? And how does OpenBazaar make money if there are absolutely no fees involved?
it's a non-profit and open-source project. and the ones who's selling/buying/escrowing stuff isn't them but the users. they get profit from their OB1 project that will offer some services related to OpenBazaar (still can't find anything about what those services are). |

I deposited 0.15BTC to BTCPOP today.
-sniped-
So now they have disabled my access to my account. I cannot withdraw my money. And I have sent many messages to support and all have gone unanswered.
maybe give them some time to process your request? never used the site but usually services support takes up to 48 hours to respond. |

still on a open beta phase using testnet bitcoin. probably won't be ready until next few weeks or so. |

When will these greedy idiots come to realize the days of "going to the moon" is long over?
This ain't no 2013 any more. Anybody who's ever be interested in cryptocurrency has now heard of Bitcoin.
The growth in transactions and the wallet numbers are due to the same users. Without brand new bag-holders, Bitcoin is bound to stay at 400 +/- 20 for a long time, like years and decades.
lol. you think that people will stay ignorant about bitcoin for years no matter what happens? people will change their views as time goes by. |

this thing can happen again because they only need your username to request a password reset. you're not really in danger unless they know your email password.
