Payments Firm Backs 'Crazy' Offline Bitcoin Transactions ExperimentAs an Internet-based payment system, most bitcoin transactions today necessitate that users are online or otherwise can print and exchange private keys.
However, Romanian mobile payments provider Netopia mobilPay is now backing a proposal that strives for a middle path. Called OffCoin, the proposal is for a system that allows microSD cards in mobile phones to generate, store, transmit and delete bitcoin private keys.
In effect, OffCoin would be capable of moving digital currency between mobile phones without requiring users to be connected to the Internet or needing to pay the cost of using the bitcoin blockchain. By transacting with NFC, Bluetooth, QR codes or a combination of these technologies, Netopia suggests it can allow users to send and receive bitcoin without paying fees for sending funds over the bitcoin blockchain.

For the forum betterment and to protect the forum from Signature abuse, I think every signature campaign must consider to put a link in their signature about "Report signature abuse"
After seeing a LuckyBit signature I decided to made this thread, I think its a good idea. What you say?
I voted NO because such a "Report signature abuse" would only be a redundant duplicate of the "Report to Moderator" link. I'm used to report signature spam post with the said "Report to Moderator" link when I think to have found one of such posts, like this (quoted) one. IMHO, a more efficient way to deal with signature spam is to have (forcefully or voluntarily) signature & avatar campaigns to pay some BTC, and/or donate campaign earnings confiscated to enrolled users violating their rules, to initiatives aimed at rewarding "good" reports of posts violating forum rules, like this one from Muhammed Zakir. This would be like applying a Pigouvian taxation on advertising campaigns for the negative externalities (spam posts) they produce. |

Hi, One important question. Would you like a random lottery, or a bonus for everyone? First 10 replies (PM or here, preferably former) will be taken into account and the decision will be made. I am supporting bonus, since it depends more on what you did and less on luck and randomness. What do you think?  , could you clarify a bit the following: "I am supporting bonus [for everyone], since it depends more on what you did and less on luck and randomness." If the bonus is for every enrolled account how could be dependent on what people did? Do you mean everyone who follow avatar campaign rules while posting? A random lottery may grant bigger bonuses to some users; however, a bonus for everyone would avoid fusses and complaints from excluded participants and would satisfy more people. So, I would cast my vote into the bonus for everyone ballot box. |

How about invest in altcoins with the money earned from faucets?
Some altcoins are about 2-3 satoshi in price, with faucets you can earn about 50.000 satoshi in 50 minutes.
Buy 500 altcoin pieces, and sell them at 50x price, profit , and repeat!
Such 1-satoshi altcoins are mostly already dead altcoins. To earn something from them you should organize a real pump & dump scheme. |

I always use BTCT. Why? Because it's BitcoinTalk, BTC + T == BTCT.
+1. IMHO, OP proposed abbreviation are very confusing. However, is not forum owner - aka theymos - task to say what bitcointalk.org abbreviation should be used? |

its good way to report scams thanks for your reports...  Scams are illegal; but, they're not against forum rules (see a re-collection of forum rules, here). Reporting a scam to moderators with the "Report to Moderator" link will result in your report being marked a "bad" ( aka not correct). Scam reports should be posted in the Scam Accusation board in proper format (see sticky thread, here). |

Westpac VC invests in Bitcoin player CoinbaseIn a deal that will put Westpac Banking Corp in the box seat as cryptocurrencies develop, the bank's venture capital fund, Reinventure Group, has invested in Coinbase, one of the world's pre-eminent Bitcoin companies.
In the first deal involving an Australian bank and a Bitcoin company, it is understood that Reinventure joined a $US75 million raising Coinbase conducted earlier this year, which also won support by some of the world's largest venture capital firms, the New York Stock Exchange and former Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit.
Backers of Coinbase are making bets that blockchain technology will radically transform the movement of money around the globe's financial system. The investment by Reinventure will allow Westpac to monitor a future world where money morphs beyond central bank-regulated currencies into a myriad of forms.

Mining Malware Developer Settles with Federal Trade CommissionA cryptocurrency malware developer has settled with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the New Jersey Attorney General's Office.
Developer Ryan Ramminger and Equiliv Investments were named in the settlement in connection with the development and distribution of a mobile app called Prized that contained hidden mining software.
Prized was initially marketed as a consumer rewards app. After security researchers discovered the app was designed to mine cryptocurrency in March, it was soon dropped from popular app venues like Google Play.

Reason to report: Pointless (user only quoted another user quote adding the words "quoted for you!" without adding anything to thread discussion or purpose) spam post + signature advertising spam post.
The " Stake your Bitcoin address here" thread is used to reply with your bitcoin address and expect a quote that in the future (and in case that you have any problem) proofs that you're the real owner of the account. That's why there are some comments quoting the previous messages... just to save the information. Unfortunately, people use that thread to increase their signature campaign post count... managers should consider to delete that thread replies from their counters. But it was quoted by Digital_Lord without saying "Quoted"  look here.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg11741013#msg11741013Digital_Lord post is OK since it quoted an user BTC-address thus fulfilling thread's purpose; however, lihuajkl's post is only a quote of quote done only to up post count to increase his signature campaign payment. |

Kraken Opens Bitcoin Exchange in CanadaKraken has officially launched in Canada following a partnership with digital currency industry-focused risk management specialist Vogogo.
The San Francisco-based bitcoin exchange now allows users in Canada to convert Canadian dollars into digital currencies using Interac e-Transfer and electronic fund transfers (EFT). Trading fees are then priced between 0.10% and 0.35%, with more active traders receiving more attractive rates.
In statements, Kraken CEO Jesse Powell indicated that the company saw significant potential in the Canadian market. The exchange has been one of the most active US firms in the global market, opening to Japan and adding GBP trading in October. Kraken is also one of the more prominent businesses to pull out of the US market over legal concerns. Full story: http://www.coindesk.com/kraken-opens-bitcoin-exchange-in-canada/

Still...what the purpose of having such data saved offline on your disks when you can access it while surfing the forum? To me looks like wasting HDD's storage space. I cannot see a real advantage to make a duplicated copy of this thread for offline storage.
One use-case. Forums are offline. Someone claims to be XYZ from the forums. How do you verify? Its the same question as asking why keep a copy of the blockchain when we can browse it on some central server. =snip=I deal directly on this forum to reduce risks of skype impersonators...so no need to an offline copy of bitcointalk.org. =snip=
Anyway this thread is for staking addresses. Lets not derail it.
You are the first to start it; however, i will end this now. If you wish to further this discussion you can start a new topic elsewhere. |

Hello its btcblogger Sorry for delay I was out of town so unable to contact anyone.

Yeah this is payment address - 1ACggpLdFH9twhePpTvLwacCYh93taQZMi Inform me after sending 0.001 BTC with interest. Thanks Hi There BTCBLOGGER, This is my Second Account from DavieT1337.

Waiting for 700 Doge an will give after a good Review. Thankx for the Loan. regards DavieT1337 Quoted for self-preservation. You admitted controlling both lama-hunter & DavieT1337 accounts. So, you indicted yourself of abusing trust feedback system by providing fake trust feedback to your own accounts (evidence here: http://gyazo.com/3cb2a4e40b69d235903f472e8c73946b, http://gyazo.com/03a5fa188680f0d12d1ded56077b97a6). Also, due to BTCBLOGGER trust feedback history, your trading with him is fishy at best. |

One day I'll be very lucky too.
Sure , If you spend $10 daily in gambling , then now you can start saving your $10 every day , and after a year you'll hit a jackpot in atm machine. I want to do it, but I can't. IDK how to stop gambling addiction. I googled it for you & i got this URL, from HelpGuide.org: http://www.helpguide.org/articles/addiction/gambling-addiction-and-problem-gambling.htm, Gambling Addiction and Problem Gambling
Warning Signs and How to Get HelpA quote from the linked article: One way to stop yourself from problem gambling is to analyze what is needed for gambling to occur, work on removing these elements from your life and replace them with healthier choices. The four elements needed for problem gambling to continue are:
A decision: Before gambling occurs, the decision to gamble has been made. If you have an urge to gamble: stop what you are doing and call someone, think about the consequences to your actions, tell yourself to stop thinking about gambling, and find something else to do immediately.
Money: Gambling cannot occur without money. Get rid of your credit cards, let someone else be in charge of your money, have the bank make automatic payments for you, and keep a limited amount of cash on you at all times.
Time: Gambling cannot occur if you don’t have the time. Schedule enjoyable recreational time for yourself that has nothing to do with gambling, find time for relaxation, and plan outings with your family.
A game: Without a game or activity to bet on there is no opportunity to gamble. Don’t put yourself in tempting environments or locations. Tell the gambling establishments you frequent that you have a gambling problem and ask them to restrict you from betting at their casinos and establishments. Block online gambling sites on your computer. Hope it may help you overcome your gambling addiction! |
