5961  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Safe to buy accounts here? on: June 25, 2017, 08:06:50 AM
Handful of noobs here selling eBay accounts at low prices. I never traded here before but want to buy eBay account, and exchange PP & BTC. Is there a general way to buy things?

Thanks

There is, as of this moment, no safe way to do that.  A person that calls themselves escrow is still a person and no better than the person that is selling to you.  You are simply choosing who to trust with no recourse.  We have been meaning to play with a concept though that might work for things like this.

Did you invest your clams in the dice site?  I am not talking about gambling, but there is an option on just dice to help back the house.  The internal mechanisms are unclear, but the returns are solid if you invest enough.  There are some tweaks that you can make that make your balance appear more than it is, but that is useless when you can simply use a bigger balance and not worry, you should check it out for information if nothing else.

Do not forget the landmark Florida Cryptsy case, where Bitcoin and other alt coins were officially classified as "value commodities" and handled as such.  This was the moment that Florida, whose senator had loudly spoken before that case ever existed said that "Florida never has and never will recognize such a thing as a currency".  The courts could either go against the senator and declare the lost coins as currency, normally fine but that is the same judge that gave $1.3 million dollars in campaign funds so that he and the governor could finish the establishment of some other legal issues, or they courts would have to state that the coins had no value.
5964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you include bitcoins in your will (and make it a quest)? on: June 25, 2017, 05:49:39 AM
A good smart contract and there is no need for a will, lol.  Although it would be a pain to have a scripted TX that checks various places for your death daily. But, you could include a simple task in your will that fires off the entire rest of the payouts.  In that case the whole lot of people in your will are paid with Bitcoin.  Each person is paid as a part of the output. That is easy.

People love to move their money around, especially with something like crypto, but in these cases, those can eat your funds and never spit them out.  Plan better and use larger amounts. The small fees, the small amounts and the more and more crowded blockchain cause issues that can make it so that your funds are gone quick and any profit that you made it right out the window. 
5966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do vanity addresses exist for Ethereum ? on: June 20, 2017, 11:29:19 PM
There are the limits that come with the use of only the hex alphabet letters but it could be done if those constraints are ok.  Keep in mind that these services, most of the time, are doing nothing more than generating the addresses in mass numbers and parsing the list looking for a match to a client or parsing ahead of time for strings that look good together and match common names and words.
5967  Economy / Speculation / Re: Biggest threat to the future of Bitcoin? on: June 20, 2017, 11:15:33 PM
The biggest thing that will slow adoption is the need for confirmations.  There is also the fast changes in the price values and the fact that too many people dive into the game without fully understanding the facts.  There are many people that get a handful of knowledge and have just enough to make a mess of their affairs and then that is magically the information that makes it to the public news.

What I cannot find here and maybe I missed it, what is the format of a decentralized email address?  The actual email of today slightly confuses those that do not have the history of it, but the first email addresses referred to "user at PC/server", in other words, in a network bob@station4.  The dot net's and com's referred to the type of server generally, then that turned into websites and ......

It seems like yobit did add us: https://yobit.net/en/trade/UNF/BTC
Too bad they did that now that we don't have another exchange, because they are suspicious.
Never had a problem by my own with them, but many users have been reporting bad support and them taking funds that don't belong to them.
It's not this coin.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1389510.0

Add to that a change and it can get very confusing.  The best thing to do beside be clear here is get and keep a site up to date.  That is a huge issue we hit too when finding a coin we missed, playing with it and then needing info like nodes, hit the OP, and the site listed there is gone and in the wind.
Yet, the progress of this coin is good.
5970  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Bitcoin be accepted by USA or will the US try to denounce or embrace? on: June 19, 2017, 03:02:16 PM
It keeps coming back to people accusing the government and there is no doubt that it has had quite a bout with Bitcoin, but, to some extent, it is no longer an issue of the government.  It is an issue of the businesses and the code itself.  The two and intertwined between the fluctuating value system and the confirmations that nearly completely prevent instant buy and sale.
5971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coins with price under $1 are undervalued? on: June 19, 2017, 02:37:26 PM
Which coins under $1, $0.1, $0.01 do you think that are undervalued?


Taking the entire alt coin range into the thought, only narrowing the list to those that on exchange listed, more than 98% of them are price valued under $1.  But, the changes in the price of Bitcoin have technically brought those up.  Most alt coins cannot be directly traded for FIAT, so the the value of coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Doge and a few others is important because that is the gateway out to FIAT from these alt coins.

Alright, I am not attacking your methods, the value now or in the future on XMR or any of that.  I here you mention hardware and that is where this comes from.  I know that your method implies that the value of Monero is going to be stable or rise. .  Let us say that we purchase your method and despite all of that the value of Monero hits the ditch six months down the road, you never can tell with a coin.
5973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ladies and Gentlemen, Bitcoin is about to be Centralized on: June 19, 2017, 01:28:11 PM
There are too many games in town to deal with a group like that and they will never get anywhere.  A store can always open in town and charge outrageous prices, offer low quality items and/or make impossible transaction issues for each customer.  As long as there are others that offer like services, then those places will die quick.  Same thing here, why deal with that when ten other sites/services demand less.
5974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [IXT] InsureX - blockchain-secured marketplace for Insurance on: June 18, 2017, 08:54:22 AM
I love the concept and the project, but sometimes you have to be careful.  The great thing about crypto is the decentralized arena that it lives in, basically only dealing with federal regs at the FIAT exchange points.  I am not sure what regulations that insurance deals with fully, but I think we all know that insurance is a highly controlled and regulated market and business system.

Yes, insurance for sure is a highly regulated market.

The brilliant news for this tech is they are based in London - the global leader for insurance, so things like regulation etc will be very easy to keep on top of



That could mean that your token/coin could go from a fairly regulation free universe in crypto to being highly attacked and regulated by the federal government.  I love how devs and projects try to find ways for the common consumer to touch crypto and Bitcoin, combining popular and needed markets, like insurance with a blockchain model, but some are going to be hard to break.
5975  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Telegram groups for Bitcoin on: June 18, 2017, 08:09:30 AM
We claim no way that the service works or does not, but it can be listed here for others to evaluate, it is called Cryptoping, I am sure that it is not new to many here, I think we found it here and have not paid much attention since first touching it.

You just add @CryptoPingBot to your telegram and that is about it.  Messages pop a little too often from them and you would spend almost every minute of the day following their signals links from one exchange to another, it might be good info, just a little over abundant.  I found it very good and i hope it will be helpful for you too.

Without deep inspection into this thread I immediately see a system that can be abused based solely on the words referral and rewards.  If I get a reward for referring a user to a wallet, then all I have to do is get my primary wallet and pose as referrals to that wallet.  If you are requesting any info of a personal nature for security, then you have left the realm of decentralized currency. 
5977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts on: June 18, 2017, 06:52:42 AM
There are a myriad of small things that have happen, like you listed that separate the coins.  Most of these little things amount to squat when it comes to price, value and worth.  The coins are very close to each other as far as code and the differences are not that overly important to the casual end user.

The main place where the coins differ is outside the code, outside the blockchain.  It is in the groups that released, control and admin the coins, it is in the politics of those people and the general way that they approach the coins.  Read here and there in the threads and you can feel the difference.
5978  Economy / Economics / Re: Holdings of gold vs Holdings of btc on: June 18, 2017, 06:11:55 AM
The exchanges, the forums and various site uses are the controlling factor behind the price of Bitcoin, through information overload and buy/sell.  Gold has very real and predictable events that can be seen, Bitcoin can be predicted, but a single petty forum member or chat boxer can alter things quickly by dropping complete lies or rumors or whatever and watch the fire spread.

I do not know the exact reasons that ended faucetbox, but that is surely a sign that the faucet model is not anywhere near the strength it was.  I play with them here and there and faucethub.io has added a few cool things that keep some interest there.  There are rising user levels and a rain feature in the chatbox. 
5980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It isn't a bubble on: June 18, 2017, 05:01:07 AM
I really wish that people would research and not post topics based on half understandings of concepts.  The "Tulip Bubble" and other bubbles are defined as high prices paid for a service/item that has a fraction of the value.  Bitcoin is not that.  The price may fall to $100 and that is still not a "bubble pop".

For the past three years Bitcoin has a defined transparent market value and despite the fact that it is an intangible, it has a value and that value is near the price paid, there are no bubbles there.  The exact economically defined "bubble" based on the formulas and nothing more than the market cap of Bitcoin would mean that a bubble would not exist until the price hit $37,900.
