I found this site this days http://www.gamiss.com

Can I buy this somewhere with bitcoins, prices are very cheap, and I saw some very nice clothes there. I wonder is there some similar site, where we can use our bitcoins to buy it. Now I need to ask people with credit cards to buy me this, I dont have one. But with bitcoins I would be able to buy it by myself.


I do not know any web shops where you can buy clothes with Bitcoin I am interested in it tho because I ave been looking for a site like that.
I is a handy thing if you want to spend some of your Bitcoin.
well purse.io should be the solution of your problem since purse will help you to pay stuff in amazon through bitcoin even with few percents of discount
also just figured out few clothes shop that accepting bitcoin but i'd reccommend you to buy in amazon since the site is really popular among people

That is not going to happen, the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto has created this coin and left it for the people in the world of crypto currency so how could he wake up now and claim that bitcoin is a scam?

Even if he claims that or not, or even if he goes back or not, it would change nothing because he already let go of it to other people a long time ago already. So he would not have any claim or whatsoever.
well actually satoshi nakamoto's speculation matter a lot for bitcoin users as bitcoin users always believing satoshi nakamoto and that's why they're now entitled as bitcoin users,so it's definitely mean that his claim will not "change nothing"
5883  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do people use so many Bitcoin wallets? on: September 14, 2016, 10:38:56 AM
I only use one bitcoin wallet.  I have a friend who have a lot of bitcoin wallets like coinbase and xapo.  He said he feels more safer if he have more wallet as he is afraid that his bitcoin wallet may be hacked.  I do not know where did his thinking came from because I feel totally safe having one wallet.  He said in case there is an instance atleast he have still some bitcoins on other wallet.

Maybe you feel totally safe right now, but someday you will realize that. I'm sure of it.
I, too, use just one wallet for all my money but I know the benefits of having multiple.
actually having one wallet is enough and could be safe for your bitcoin if you could maximize your security and put all effort on it,even if you having multiple wallet but the security is low then it's useless,just enable any possible security such as 2fa,sms authentication,email auth,or whatever that make hacker feels the difficulties
5884  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? on: September 13, 2016, 12:50:27 PM
we should show them how the bitcoin works. we have to prove its existence and the big question ia that bitcoin price is so voilent

Yes the big problem not question is that the price is so volatile and all over the place, this is not assuring at all for any company so they wouldn't want to adopt it.
As the price gets more stable we can start to encourage them, they'd like the idea more and would see the benefits over the cons that bitcoin has.
volatility of the price could be resolved by using bitcoin payment API that exchange the bitcoin equivalent amount to dollar directly when the bitcoin just received and being confirmed so there's no point worrying about volatility unless you're not using the API

You just be able buying in there with Paypal, Credit card or debit card, and think you can be able for buying in there if you have a bitcoin debit card us supporting by visa.
You can buy almost everything with the bitcoin and off course you can buy clothes becuase there are allot of online shops that accepts bitcoins so i dont see why you cant buy clothes with bitcoins.
most of clothes shop didn't accept bitcoin,they're only accepting paypal or credit card,and you can't pay everything with bitcoin directly but using some way,and the main problem that OP don't have credit card and the website don't accept bitcoin,though buying gift card could resolve this problem
5886  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: September 13, 2016, 12:40:47 PM
Once the governments remove cash, they will start passing laws against gold, so you will get your gold stolen as you try to cross a border or as you try to pick up a plane or something. Then the idiots that didn't buy bitcoin and learn how to use it, will regret not doing so.
well the main problem is when the cash will be removed by the government since as you see the government keep printing cash and cash still an important thing in the environtment,if i'm guessing cash still exist until 20 years next
5887  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where u use bitcoins? on: September 13, 2016, 12:37:27 PM
I use bitcoin everywhere I can actually. But it sounds like a lot but it's not cause there's almost no place to use it at here (lol).
There's a few webshops that accept them where I shop regulary though but other then that I've bought maybe twice or 3 times somethign in real life with btc.
Yes, I have the same thing, I’m like some bitcoin maniacs when I’m always wander to every corners of my city just to find one single shop that accepts bitcoin and always ask the shop keepers if they ever take bitcoin as a payment but it seems to be almost impossible, at least in my place so I mostly use it online.

Everyone is expecting to spend their coins at physical places but somehow its not possible at a moment as bitcoin is not too popular everywhere at a moment and that makes it difficult to use it anywhere.
you must've forget about bitcoin debit card,just fill your account with balance,buying a physical debit card and then load it with money you can use it everywhere,actually it's exchanging bitcoin to fiat but who care,as long it could be used for pyhsical store it's fine

after halving,i don't think cloud mining is worth it anymore although you should be very aware when trying to invest on cloud mining since there's so many fake cloud mining that actually running ponzi scheme so if i were you i won't invest on cloud mining but prefer to buy a mining rig instead

Yes but mining rigs are so expensive nowadays and to be fair, isnt worth the investment if not in the long run?
mining rigs is indeed expensive but you can use it to mine coin whatever you want whether it's ethereum or monero it's up to you and it's really worth it for you especially if you got a cheap and quite stable electricity ,but to be honest,not worth if it's not for long run
5889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: VCC or VDC payment through Bitcoin wallet funds on: September 13, 2016, 11:43:07 AM
just buy a VCC from an individual,they will not require you to fill in your data not like if you're requesting a VCC from a big card issuer
even when you're going to load it'll make you pay even higher and the security is really doubtful(you could getting scammed) but it's indeed could keep you anonymous
5890  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How do Online Wallets Survive ?? on: September 13, 2016, 11:39:21 AM
Many of the online wallets services (like coinbase, blockchain, xapo, etc.,) having their own exchanges and they'll have some fees. OR if  wallet doesn't have its own exchange (blockchain.info) there will be some ads on that website. I think this is the way that they're live (?).
I think their income not come from fees but from other we never know as we know if the fee transaction is for the miner.
definitely not the fees,when you input a fees all the fees that you're just input is not being cut off by the online wallet,it's all to pay the miner fee for the transaction,for proof,if you use blockchain,copy the transaction id (tx) and then explore it in another blockchain explorer and then the fee will remain the same as you input before
5891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: September 13, 2016, 11:25:36 AM
Yes, aside from the mere fact that its a currency, the person transacting it will have anonymity. Thats why there are some online wallets needs id verification in order for you to make big transactions in btc.
online wallets doesn't require you to do verification with your gov document,the example of online wallet is blockchain.info or blocktrail
the one that require verification is an exchanger,when you're going to buy bitcoin there you'll be required to do verification although most of exchanger also having online wallet,but online wallet still can be used even you didn't verify your account for example coinbase or whatever
5892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Italy Wants to Treat Bitcoin as Currency And Tax It on: September 13, 2016, 11:21:40 AM
On September 2, Agenzia delle Entrate, the major Italian tax authority, published a new document titled “Bitcoin and digital currencies buying and selling: clarification on the tax treatment” about the fiscal treatment of Bitcoin and how VAT would be applied to digital currency transactions.

The document states:

Quote
“Traditional currency intermediary activities made with virtual currencies held by market participants are exempt from VAT, as they are among the transactions related to banknotes and coins.”

Source : https://cointelegraph.com/news/italy-wants-to-treat-bitcoin-as-currency-and-tax-it

I'm not sure If it's something to be happy or sad about ? (treating bitcoin as a real currency and in the same time .. TAX IT) but well I guess that by the end of the day , Bitcoin won't go mainstream unless it is taxable.
And a new question, does the italy is already having the system for taxing bitcoin? whether if that is possible for to do that? because too many people with a lot of address and i think that will becoming a hard working for italy if they are really for giving a tax for bitcoin in their country.
and italy already see if bitcoin is can be a farm field for them. and especially if they are not making research about bitcoin and just make a bad statement like this.
it's simple,just taxing the merchant that accepting bitcoin payment,then the merchant will automatically charging it from the buyers whether increasing the price of the stuff or whatever it doesn't matter, so indirectly taxing the buyers,but i'd say that taxing directly to someone that using bitcoin is nearly impossible or need to put a lot of effort in it

Lol, have you even tried to do a signature using a ASCII generator? I'm pretty sure you haven't.
i'm pretty sure that coinosaurus is an advanced or expert ASCII designer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1279619.msg13187838#msg13187838 but it seems we're starting to out of topic so better stop arguing this thing guys
5895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin without Altcoin ? on: September 09, 2016, 08:23:34 AM
I just wanted to get your opinions on this one , what do you think Bitcoin would be if there was no Alternative coins such Litecoin & Dogecoin and the others ...
I mean it would be better with or without them Bitcoin would have no value at all ?

Definitely not. Bitcoin is simply popular and without other altcoin bitcoin would have much more value as there would be much more demand of bitcoin if no other coin exist and bitcoin would cross the boundaries of is price.
did you know that most of altcoin using bitcoin as a base currency and encourage people to invest into the specific altcoin or i say investing in an ICO using bitcoin? so it's definitely a free-advertising for bitcoin and could make bitcoin even more popular,when an altcoin just make an advertisiment out there to make people investing so bitcoin will be automatically represented
5896  Economy / Economics / Re: Loans too risky? on: September 09, 2016, 08:20:40 AM
Loans can be a risky if you ask me but if you know that you are able to pay it back then it should be no problem at all.
Take only a loan when you need something that is important and if you can pay it back.
your statement that i underlined is definitely the main problem here,if people know that they can pay the loan back then why starting a discussion with a topic "loans too risky",doesn't make sense at all,so your statement above definitely not helping to resolve the problem,and i think most of people would only requesting a loan when really getting forced or in need
5897  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo or blockchain? on: September 09, 2016, 08:17:47 AM
I generally agree with Lauda saying that online wallets should be avoided, at least for putting large amounts on it.
But I think it's perfectly fine to hold small amounts of coins on them, just not more than what you could afford to lose.

If you're trying to save coins without using them, I'd put them in a paper wallet.

If you have a small amount for spending, I think blockchain.info or xapo are perfectly fine.
i do agree with that point but sometimes we need to access our wallet without need to install an app so the online wallet is the solution,as you say putting all of the bitcoin in an online wallet is such a bad thing so only small part of all bitcoin would be fine,we can't really avoid online wallet but we want to avoid the lose
5898  Economy / Economics / Re: Is silver a good store of value? on: September 09, 2016, 07:18:32 AM
I don't think silver will be as useful as gold, since gold can be used in electronics and other uses,
but silver will still always have some value, and has had slight gains recently.

I'm sure its a pretty safe investment. I don't see the value going down, but you probably won't get a huge return on your investment.
If you are okay with a slight profit its definitely solid.

silver has very similar properties as gold and is also used a lot in electronics and other applications.

silver is also a pretty reliable store of value. and much cheaper to get into than gold.


But I think it's not having differences than using gold, but I think the silver rate is more sensitive comparing than gold and gold is always in front of than silver. Correct me if I'm wrong.
these two having similiarity on price stability even there's a difference it's just a little,but the advantage of silver it's far cheaper than gold but i can say that which one is cheaper doesn't really matter since all of your money could be invested in form of these two
that's the advantage of owning limited things in this planet
5899  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Which US presidential candidate will back Bitcoin? on: September 09, 2016, 06:58:07 AM
I would say neither but if I had to pick one.

Hillary seems pretty set in her ways and has been in politics FOREVER
and would take the safe route by not backing it. I could see moron trump
somehow getting a stake in some and of course if it benefits him he would
back it.
well there's also another candidate beside of those two,and i think from it there's also few candidate that know bitcoin or even supporting it,i wonder why people only consider hillary and trump as the "only" candidate when anothers are exist and could potentially be even better than these two
5900  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you accept bitcoin as your salary? on: September 09, 2016, 06:49:58 AM
I'll never wanna to accept bitcoin become my salary caused by 1. the price is volatile 2. there is no offline store of very rarely to finding the store can accept bitcoin 3. bitcoin not giving a guarantee for me.

I think it may be true, But you need to know from you complaining in the bitcoin. I had a few things from the advantages of using bitcoin. 1. even though the price is unstable, but it is so beneficial for us in having a very good patience. 2. Indeed it is still rare, because very few companies that still accept bitcoin. But this can be overcome by swapping bitcoin to fiat. 3. did not have warranties, but the big advantage of promising bitcoin when we can wait
For me it would not be a smart choice to select Bitcoin as my salary, in my country there is almost nothing that you can do with Bitcoin.
So I would have to sell them all the time which is going to be annoying in the long run.
there's bitcoin debit card that you can top up easily through bitcoin as long you have bitcoin in your account and when loading you just need to click "load"button and then giving the exact amount,i think it's really simple so you don't need to sell your bitcoin through an exchanger or whatever that make it more complicated
