5661  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cyrpto vs Fiat on: August 14, 2016, 05:32:33 AM
The biggest win of crypto versus fiat is that crypto is global, fiat is local.
You have dollars, sterling, euro and MANY more fiats that you have in your country and it is really difficult to take it
outside of your country, has a lot of fees. With crypto you need not any forex exchange and you can carry it instantly around the world anywhere you want without any fee and you can send it to anyone around the world without any additional fee.
Indeed, anyone can now start trading without any permission needed. Trading and in general having a bank is a luxury that a smart % of population can afford. Bitcoin is a real gamechanger that can bank 4 billion people, and by then 1 coin will be worth millions of inflation-adjusted dollars.
Cryptos and fiats have their own dominance or superiorities.
In terms of usability, it's obviously fiat's since they have more usability from around the globe, like USD for example. I'm pretty this currency is used at almost all parts of the world, if not, all countries have exchangers that accepts usd.
In terms of transaction speed, it's crypto's since it's almost instant when transferring money with them and it doesn't have that much of a fee (only around 2cents more or less).

Or just don't use mobile wallets entirely. Has worked for years so far with no problem and also utilizing cold storage.

I do the same, and no problem so far. I open my online wallet on my phone, but I don't download the app. then I use 2 factor authenticator. it's secure enough.

so the point of problem here is mobile wallet, just don't use it, that's simple.

anyway thanks for the warning.
Mobile wallets' only superiority against all the other wallets is that you can carry it whenever wherever and check your balance just as long as you have internet connection.
However, other than the risks provided by OP, phones are vulnerable to hacks like when you're connecting to a wifi from a public area. They can maybe access your phone and steal your funds from your wallet.
5663  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the cost of making a trade on an exchange? (I want to do a large number) on: August 14, 2016, 04:24:12 AM
There is really no basis or constant price fee for doing transactions on exchangers.
It all depends on the exchangers themselves. You can easily see them anyway whenever you're about to trade coins. Usually however, it ranges from 0.2% to 1% at the very most.
5664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lowest transaction fee . How long can it take ? on: August 12, 2016, 04:04:15 PM
On localbitcoins there are no fees for transactions and it is processed faster
Well you can not really just simply use localbitcoins because you have to talk to your seller first before you actually agree on your transaction. And besides, there are multiple ways that you can transact.
5665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Make bitcoin?impossible? on: August 12, 2016, 03:09:03 PM
Hey all,i'm just curious.

Why we not made own bitcoin like on real world make 'fake money'?

If we make bitcoin like we make real money thats possible or not?

Bitcoin technology is online decentralized technology which cannot be duplicated as each and every transaction have its own details, but in real world money it is paper printed and it can be made fake as you just have to get that plates to print the paper money. That is why Bitcoin is very secure and safety.
Exactly. Although I am sure bitcoin's security isn't 100% impossible to breach (maybe about 99.9998% or something), it would take a dramatically long time for them to actually breach and before they could even finish, the devs have already changed/updated security.
5666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who really uses bitcoin? on: August 12, 2016, 03:01:03 PM
90 % of young people in my country use bitcoin as primary method for internet payment .
Tell me about your country and your reliable source is supporting your statements or you're just making a joke in this place, at the same time is spamming because you're reviving the old outdated topic. Tongue
Exactly. I can't really accept that statement since even though bitcoin is popular, it's not really that popular, even for the young people. In our country though, I can only estimate roughly 5-15% of our total population have any interest in bitcoin and not all of them are even bitcoin users, just interested.
5667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Blockchain.info Commercial Ad on: August 12, 2016, 02:50:01 PM
   Did you saw this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_W-7hd4T2I

   Amazing commercial, I didn't saw nothing similar before. This is good way for promoting bitcoin and blockchain, we need more commercials like this for people who still didn't hear about blockchain. I like this commercial, and I shared it on my Facebook page right away, this is my little contribution for bitcoin community. I think everyone should do it!
Thank you for sharing. I was searching for such a video for my office colleagues. Videos are very much effective for spreading bitcoins to rest of the world but unfortunately we find very few resources for this purpose.

but I would not recommend blockchain.info to store any relevant amount of bitcoins.
They're pretty secure, and I have a pretty substantial amount of bitcoin on their site. You shouldn't store large amounts of bitcoin on any service at all, I suggest getting a cold wallet for that.
5668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: *warning* Two current security issues with mobile devices on: August 12, 2016, 02:40:23 PM
Besides that, phones are generally easy to hack and highly vulnerable to attacks, especially when connected to a public wifi. A certain hacker that sets up a public wifi can easily access all information stored in a phone so having a wallet used for long term storage in a phone is highly unadvisable.

There are places that does the exact same thing, what is the difference between you as a new business that does it and them the business that already established themselves as solid places?

Mainly gyft does this and they established themselves long before bitcoin was a thing they just added bitcoin as a payment, you are selling stuff right now they have been doing it for years.

I suggest you do some sort of marketing campaign if you want to get heard among all this crowd.
5670  Economy / Services / Re: need some in the US to post an empty box and send me tracking code, ASAP on: August 11, 2016, 07:19:32 PM
I will Send you a Box with tracking. Contact me. I ship international with my online business all the time.
Sending an empty box from US can lead to unexpected incidents like facing many security breaching questions.
I guess once he hires you for this, he will ask you to put something illegal or some explosive maybe, by meeting you in parcel office. So, be careful.
5671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Getting people to use Bitcoin- ideas on: August 11, 2016, 06:39:51 PM
How about you make this one as a pinned post? https://youtu.be/1_W-7hd4T2I

This ad would clearly help people on knowing what bitcoin is, and if someone asks them about bitcoin, they can just show them this video too and so on and so forth. This is a really good public material that we needed.
5672  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Were can you buy bitcoin? on: August 11, 2016, 06:24:34 PM
It will depend on which country you are living in which exchange is user friendly for you, as I am buying it from localbitcoins since I am into bitcoin, and all the traders are trusted people and there is no chance of getting scammed.
I guess, no matter which country you are from, you always will be able to buy bitcoins from localbitcoins.com.
It is one of the most trusted site I have come across. Most of the exchanges also offer bids for buying bitcoins. You can choose which best suits for you.
5673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is decentralized.Really?! on: August 11, 2016, 04:49:01 PM
This is actually the hole about decentralization.
If a person/group with enough power/money actually goes and tries to hoard in 51% of supply and mining power, then it would be centralized to them as they would have the most influence to move the value either up or down.
5674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best casino for invest ? on: August 10, 2016, 09:18:58 PM
The investment return is very dangerous. The problem with investing in gambling casinos is two fold.

First, you should be worried about not getting hacked, even exchanges who can keep most of their coins in a cold wallet lose rest when they get hacked. Think about a gambling business which has to put as many in the bankroll as possible to provide more coins to whales and when they get hacked.

The other reason is a whale coming in and winning big, which means they may cost the casino a lot or maybe lose a lot but thats a risk.

So, what you as the investor to a gambling ANY gambling business is that, hope they don't get hacked, hope a whale won't bite down the profit. Otherwise house always wins in the long run.

I just visited the website and did not understand what it is for. The web page looks like a free blog, I suggest you fix the design first. You should fix the purpose of this site as well.
The website should be more clear and easy to understand, a bad interface is always a problem when it comes to acquiring more users. 
5676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Control the Future Value of Bitcoin on: August 10, 2016, 08:47:04 PM
I think best way to increase the value of bitcoin is adoption.
If all big companies takes bitcoin it means we are as close to living only with bitcoin without fiat in our life as possible, if that day comes that people can live (comfortably of course , because there are people living with bitcoin but there somethings that I can't pay with btc yet here) with bitcoin only and not look for bitcoin accepted places because they are everywhere then the bitcoin price will increase. Also if there are good news about it rather than silk road and hacks and so on that would help as well.
5677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does the blockchain ultimately have more potential? on: August 09, 2016, 06:46:15 PM
Blockchain is being used by some big corporations already, I am not sure how much bitcoin will be used worldwide but I can assure you the blockchain technology will be the next logical step in many applications and transactions required things in business world, not long time from now but it already started and especially huge wall street investment guys will be using this in no time which will just have dripping effect and everyone will be using it before 2020, the technology is amazing and it works for a lot of things, can't be missed.
5678  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: cryptostocks wallet offline? on: August 09, 2016, 06:26:28 PM
Its too early to say that your Coins are lost. Getting a Wallet offline can also means that they have taken the services down due to maintenance.
But your fear can not be neglected as we have seen whats happen last week with bitfinex. Let us hope everything become OKay this time for your case.

5680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you be happy repeatedly flipping a coin with an opponent to gamble? on: August 02, 2016, 10:12:16 AM
I will not be happy with this because the odds are even. There will be no winner in this in the long run and it will be stupid to play a game for money without any winner. I will rather watch TV. Cheesy
Actually if you say and actually people believe so then the dice sites would have been clean and no one playing.
The main problem with this idea of coin flipping is that you get bored very soon and on the other hand dice we can change % of winning and hence is not so boring.
