"XEM moves Monero and Ethereum Classic from the top of cryptocoins" I think it's a bit too early to tell which coin will claim the #6 position right below LTC. Sometimes its NEM that's in 6th place, sometimes it's Monero, and sometimes it's ETC. Their market caps are too close right now and there is too much volatility to tell which coin is going to come out ahead of the others. All 3 coins are very bullish at the moment. |

i am counting the days until the next DAO-like exploit happens in Ethereum and when Vital and his foundation lost a lot of money they will fork the platform once again and we can expect another altcoin being born from this. lets call it Ethereum legacy this time i like the sound of ETL.
Possible, but unlikely. Those who have chosen to stick with ETH rather than switching to ETC would most likely be fine with the idea of another hard fork in the event of another TheDAO-esque incident occurring. It wouldn't be logically consistent to have a blockchain where the TheDAO funds were refunded but the TheDAO v2.0 funds weren't. |

I have a number of electronic gift cards for JB Hi-Fi for use in their New Zealand stores. I am willing to sell these for 20% off the usual price in BTC.
$5 JB Hi-Fi card = $4
$10 JB Hi-Fi card = $8
$20 JB Hi-Fi card = $16
I will send you a link via PM or email containing the card. To use it, you will need to show it on your smartphone to the person behind the counter. I think they are valid for about 3 months or so but I'm not 100% sure about this.

My old smartphone came with a copy of Norton Mobile Security which I never used. The packaging indicates that the key is valid for 1 year. Review for Norton Mobile Security: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/norton-mobile-security,review-2101.html"Like many Android security products, Norton Mobile Security is a freemium app, offering basic features at no cost and more advanced protection for a yearly fee. Premium features are activated for a user's initial 30 days. The premium license is $30 a year, discounted to $20 for a user's first year." I am selling my unused key for $15 in BTC. That's 25% off the regular already-discounted price.  You can either choose to receive just the key via PM or email, receive a scanned copy of the physical card via email, or receive a the actual physical card containing the key inside via the post (as long as you pay shipping). |

MyBackup Pro by Rerware "MyBackup Pro allows users of Android mobile devices to backup their phone data onto the MicroSD Card. In the case of a lost, damaged, reset phone, or upgraded phone, users can restore the phones data and applications easily on the existing or new phone." I have one key for this program which came bundled with my Strontium SD card. Never been used. Not sure if it only works with Strontium cards or other brands as well. Normally retails for $6.99 on the Android app store. Am selling for $5.25 (25% off the normal price) in BTC.

Well it looks like all three sites mentioned (Cloudminer.biz, Ghsminer.com, and Hashminer.net) have been shut down. They all probably belonged to the same person. Either someone from here reported them or their owner(s) ran off with the money:  |

IMO any kind of game where the earnings are derived from new players' deposits should be in the investor based games section regardless of whether or not there is a degree of strategy involved. The site doesn't try to hide this either since I can see multiple references to "investors" and "investments" on the main page and FAQ: http://www.chainprofit.com/faq.php |

Your program has a good looking website. This may fall you in success to attract investors. do a few advertising for that.
I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this but personally, its design kinda reminds me of the NXT client.   |

Isn't BitWage just BitPay in reverse? With BitPay, you have person A who wants to receive fiat and person B who wants to give BTC and the exchange is able to happen because BitPay instantly converts the BTC to fiat. With BitWage, you have person A who wants to receive BTC and person B who wants to give fiat so the exchange is able to happen because BitWage instantly converts the fiat to BTC.
At least that's how I think it works?

The author is trying to argue that agriculture was the reason why the human population exploded, and it should have been never invented. I too feel the same way. The earth is way overpopulated right now, with more than 7 billion people living on it currently. 2,000 years ago, the human population was 200 million. It would have been better, if the total population had remained at that level.
The Agricultural Revolution happened approximately 12,000 years ago. By 2,000 years ago, we already had empires and city states. The world population in 35,000 BC was around 3 million and by the time humans began adopting agriculture, it was at around 15 million. Even if the Green Revolution had never happened, the world can support far more than 200 million people. |

So I'm guessing these work in a similar way to how iTunes cards work then? Except that instead of redeeming the card for songs, you redeem it for cryptocurrencies on a centralized exchange?
As for whether or not I'd buy one of these cards, well that would depend on the fees/markup. Right now I mostly use LocalBitcoins for buying BTC and the markup is around 3-5% above the price on other exchanges. If these guys can make it lower than that then I'd definitely be interested. However, I consider myself to be pretty tech savvy and I know how to set up my own wallets and buy/sell coins so the convenience factor would probably have little impact for someone like me.

Of course, humans. In one recent incident involving a bot-managed signature campaign (Coinomat), it was found that some people were inserting invisible or barely visible characters into their posts to fool the bot into thinking that their posts went over the 75 character limit. This trick wouldn't have worked had there been a human manually counting and checking the posts instead.
Hidden characters like the ones on that posts are not easy to detect even by humans.I'm not sure what you mean by this. If someone posted a 20 character post and appended it with a string of invisible text, a human checker would see that it's too short and disqualify it for payment whereas a bot would think that it's long enough. The human wouldn't be fooled by it, but the bot would be. |

What about the isolated cases of people killing Muslims and those who were mistaken for Muslims (such as Sikhs) just after the 9/11 attacks? Do those incidents not count as Islamophobia? |

I find that it works sometimes, but not at other times. For instance, I remember deleting a post of mine within a thread I created where I was the last one to make a post in that thread. I was also able to delete a reply in another thread created by someone else. But at other times, it didn't work at all. It's an SMF bug, and theymos doesn't care enough to fix it, it's not a big deal.
Maybe it should be renamed to DO NOT CLICK and see how many times people click it.
I'd prefer it if it was only present when you actually have the ability to delete a post/thread while remaining hidden if the ability doesn't exist - i.e. the way normal forums are supposed to work. |

There have been escrows who had no prior trading history but did their job very well, although in the case they were already a hero member. I would see no problem with using OP's service for small amounts (i.e. <0.5 BTC).

I think amph is too busy posting that he didn't realize this thread?
i dunno know. another example of his lack of ken ; what mechanisms should here have to prevent criminal actions?
reply from Amph trade with only trusted members
use always escrow
use common sense
don't trade with guy that want to use paypal/skrill/other paypal clone
try to divide your amount in small fraction when dealing with someone, in the worst case you will lose a tiny portion
don't download shitty stuff from random newbie user
i think there are more....
he can't even understand the question and he is free to post, i am disappointed. I've seen that thread and it's kinda hard to understand what exactly OP was asking. Others in that thread have also expressed confusion about the question as well: what mechanisms should here have to prevent criminal actions?
What crimes are you referring to? This is kinda very very broad and could be a lot of topis. So hard to even give an anwser. Like crimes btc is used in? Crimes when its stolen? All depends which one. what mechanisms should here have to prevent criminal actions?

Exactly, OP isnt providing enough information here to get an answer they're looking for; are we talking real life or on this forum in general? One real life example I can think of is requiring cryptography to prove your identity; could've come in handy with the social engineering hack on the forum recently. |

I haven't been too active in the past few months, when did avatars become available again? That's pretty cool I was trying to search for this, but "search" seems to be temporarily disabled... I know that is slightly off topic, but I think you need at least a certain rank, to be able to do an avatar, right? avatars became available again 1 month ago i think. yes you do need to be at least member or full member i think. search became unavailable because of a hack that happened 2days ago. see bitcointalk twitter account The avatars were re-enabled on April Fool's day so actually it was more like 2 months ago. The ranks/activity will almost certainly stay the same.
Yes but think that it would be great if they can add some rank between hero and legendary. Funny how things change. Originally there was no such thing as a legendary rank. Once a senior member graduated to a hero member, that was it. |

I was always under the impression that an altcoin exchange which only deals with altcoins wouldn't fall under money transmitter laws but Amph's link shows that the situation is actually far from clear. Interestingly, Poloniex is registered as a MSB despite not touching any fiat currencies (unless you count USDT as being a fiat currency): An Open Letter from Tristan D'Agosta
Dear Poloniex Community,
I wanted to take a moment to address some of the feedback we have received with regards to the recent changes at Poloniex. There are a fair number of rumors circulating around on social media, and I'd like to try and separate fact from fiction.
We are a Money Services Business (MSB). Accordingly, we are bound by the rules and regulations defined by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and regardless of how other businesses operate, we are legally obligated to follow the rules of FinCEN to the best of our ability.
Starting on May 21, 2015, we will require your name and country for all withdrawals. To withdraw more than $2,000.00 USD equivalent within 24 hours, we will require your address and phone number. It is only if you need to withdraw more than $7,000.00 USD equivalent in a 24-hour period that we will require identity verification such as your social security number or photo ID. We are taking these measures to protect ourselves and you from potential criminal activity that could force a shutdown of our services.
To be clear, any and all profile information we collect from you is collected in order to be compliant and to discourage people from using Poloniex unlawfully. None of the recent changes are to share or sell your data for marketing or advertisement purposes.
While we are saddened by customers who have threatened to cease using Poloniex as a result of these changes, we have chosen the unpopular path of following the regulations that apply to us because we believe it is the right thing to do. We are grateful to our loyal customers who will continue to use Poloniex as we grow and innovate.
It is unfortunate that the changes to our withdrawal policies have overshadowed the incredible work the Poloniex team has done to bring Margin Trading to the altcoin community. Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the amount of Margin Trading activity we have seen in such a short period of time, and are excited to be a part of this new era of alt trading.
Tristan D'Agosta
Founder of Poloniex Why not try out VPN and try to show that exchange is working from different country instead of US?
There might be no problems I guess if you do it like that.
I don't think it really matters where the hosting server is. If you operate within the U.S. then it makes it their jurisdiction.Besides remember Ross? His server was in France and the feds still took an image of it. Then what about direct trading exchanges like LocalBitcoins.com or www.100bit.co.in ? I dont think they need money transmitter license. They are not exactly an exchange are they. And to be honest, I do not know if they need a license and what kind of license. That being said, I am not from the U.S. so I wouldn't know much about your laws there, but I see a lot of things. Let's not forget than FinCEN asked Mircea Popescu to give them information about his exchange. He has nothing to do with the U.S. Conclusion, you never what to expect from the government(s).  There are many similarities though. Both LocalBitcoins and traditional exchanges connect buyers with sellers. LocalBitcoins also has a built-in escrow system so they handle BTC deposits and withdrawals as well. |

Is there any way someone can know the recipient of a transaction fee when they spend bitcoins?
The miner that solved the block which the transaction is in is the one that gets the fee. Usually this is a pool. |
