If some one sent the coins to that walle, then there should be the coins, even if the wallet get down or get offline, the bitcoin network keeps running, so there is no reason to not see the coins on the addy, unless the transaction get a double spend.

Maybe when you take a look at that block you search for a wrong addy, bitcoins doesn't disappear in the air, so if that transaction was really made, it should be listed in the blockchain. 

As other people say, your transaction is already confirmed, but i would like to explain what happen when you use low fees... In that scenario the transaction could take some blocks to be confirmed, but at end it will confirm, it could take a long time because that transaction will be low priority for miners, but it can't get stuck in the limbo for ever. So if you want to pay low fees you can if you don't care how long it take to confirm, other way if you need confirmation in the next block, remember to use the right fees to make from your transaction a high priority one.

You need to update the blog, i see the last post was on March 9, 2017, and there are lot of hot bitcoin topics you forget, like the $20k bump or the fork called bitcoin cash.

I had used wordpress for blogging some years ago, and there are lot of nice designs, you should change that template too and add something more related to cryptos :p

This are only ideas, but at end is your blog and you do with it what ever you want.   

We all are waiting the bump to see profit, is hard to predict markets so if we buy at high price it doesn't matter what we do, we are in red number and a looser position, if we panic sell we lose, if we hold we have our money stuck, so, some times is better to lose a % but let the money flow, other times is better to hold and be patience. Until the coin bump we will be in the right way.

I see the cyclic pattern in bitcoin too, as you say, every 2 years, but they are factors who bring the mega bumps. Remember the first time it hit $1k proves shows it happen because bots was manipulation the markets, then it crash hard, takes it some time but the drop was from $1k to $250... and people doesn't stop trash talking about btc. Then the past bump, and people was amazed with btc again, and now days wesee lot of people who buy at $20k and now they lose big money. As you say for those ones will take some time to recover their invest.

 I don't think the magic will happen in the summer of the next year, i would predict December of 2019 as the next bump, but only time can talk. And answering the topic main question i would say no, the factor who will be the next price rise will be some whales in the market. To change the price we need to see a damn big volume in trading and merchant adoption will not bring that big volume.

If the plan is so save the coins for long period the i would say the best option is a paper wallet. To make a paper wallet could be really easy with vanity gen, you onlt need the addy and the private key, then you can print it or save it inside a file.txt then put that file inside a zip and add it password.

Remember to download the software and create your own addys, if you use a online service for this then you will risk your coins by compromising your secret key with the server.

Ok, after take a look to the addy ( https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/12ngg3CB9VDvkbFDx7JKY92i9kYgDmiEaj ) we can discard:

1.- Addy typo.
2.- Two deposits on the same transaction.

I don't have much experience with coinbase, but some exchangers change your depo addy after make a depo, you can verify if this is the scenario on the deposit tab in coin base.

The step to fix it, is to send a mail to coinbase support, and give them all the info you show us. Should be something like:


Good luck.

Those are great news, thanks for share, always the good news are welcome, too bad people like to focus on the bad news. I didn't know about TRX and ZRX, i will read more about those coins, the highly growth from ZRX is amazing and a great opportunity chance.

Let me add another good news to the list:
VMware Claims Greater Scalability With Open-Source Blockchain Project

This is right, bitcointalk uses bbcode because that's a SMF feature, other way userers would be able to inject some evil code and fuck up the site.

If you want some one translate you code for bbcode you can post it on the services section and for a low amount you will find some one to do it. By the way, if was easy for you to write that html then would be really easy for you to understand bbcode because is just another tags language.

Thanks for share a source, so, yahoo is a big fish for this kind of markets, lets wait for some crazy moves on the markets. Lot of people trust in yahoo, so lot of them who always want join to cryptos now will find the chance to do it. This way isn't only yahoo investing in cryptos, it comes with all the investors that platform already have, so, take your popcorns and enjoy the markets, this will be fun.

Nop, the holders coins doesn't affect the market, until they decide to sell... remember  there is only a % of the coin on the exchanger, and that % is what gives the price, but if you want to buy all the btc then  you will have tu bump the price to the moon with that small % of coins from the exchangers, in that moment holders will feel secure to sell because the price will be ridiculous .

Start with $20 is a wise move, that way you don't risk a big amount and have some fun money to learn on the way. Remember how hard is to predict makets and follow your feelings, if you have that feeling about big risk on your moves then take out the money and join back once you feel secure.

You can learn how to use the exchanger with videos. but that will not make you a good trader, is like try to learn poker by watching videos,you will see how players bluff, but that doesn't make you a good bluffer. 

I don't think it was a multy users hack, from what you say, the only victim was you, so, maybe you have a virus in your phone and computer and that way the hackers get access to your login data. It could be a physical hack too, maybe you leave your PC on and some one get access to it, or some one get your access data with a MITM attack at some coffe shop. Try to figure out how it happen to avoid it happens again.

well, not sure if the 20% is a right percent, maybe that piece of cacke should be adjusted based on how much you earn. We can say 20% is the minimum, even with the 10% you can make nice profit, but if you earn more, then you should make bigger the percent, at end you should take the money you need to live until the next payment comes, and the rest leave it in the savings box. That would be a wise move.

Service provider for long time, i have done coding jobs for people in this forum, and worked as support in other sites. But at the start my main bitcoin income was the casinos, lot of them used to giveaway nice btc amounts to test the site.

So, work from them and get them online, we know bitcoin have lot of business sources...

Now you can mine with mobiles, but the profit is too low to burn the phone that way, maybe in future when we have good video cards on mobiles then we will be able to use them to mine with nice profits. Now days mine with movile is almost the same than mine with CPU, both are a waste of time, energy and hardware.

If now days you want to mine from phone with some profits, you need a phone like this: https://www.xataka.com/moviles/asus-rog-phone-caracteristicas-precio-ficha-tecnica

Well... if you need the money for something, then you should sell, if you want to hold and see if btc price bump, then hold, but remember it can crash too, it have a risk. Both options are good, with one you get the cash to spend in your wallet and with the other one you can make more profit. So, choose wise. At end is in your hands the decision. 

First take a look to the minimum requirements:

Minimum Requirements

Bitcoin Core full nodes have certain requirements. If you try running a node on weak hardware, it may work—but you’ll likely spend more time dealing with issues. If you can meet the following requirements, you’ll have an easy-to-use node.

    Desktop or laptop hardware running recent versions of Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux.

    145 gigabytes of free disk space, accessable at a minimum read/write speed of 100 MB/s.

    2 gigabytes of memory (RAM)

    A broadband Internet connection with upload speeds of at least 400 kilobits (50 kilobytes) per second

    An unmetered connection, a connection with high upload limits, or a connection you regularly monitor to ensure it doesn’t exceed its upload limits. It’s common for full nodes on high-speed connections to use 200 gigabytes upload or more a month. Download usage is around 20 gigabytes a month, plus around an additional 140 gigabytes the first time you start your node.

    6 hours a day that your full node can be left running. (You can do other things with your computer while running a full node.) More hours would be better, and best of all would be if you can run your node continuously.

    Note: many operating systems today (Windows, Mac, and Linux) enter a low-power mode after the screensaver activates, slowing or halting network traffic. This is often the default setting on laptops and on all Mac OS X laptops and desktops. Check your screensaver settings and disable automatic “sleep” or “suspend” options to ensure you support the network whenever your computer is running.

If you have that hardware in your virtual machine and it still freezing, then you should try with other operative system like centos.

Before join to an ICO investigate who is behind the project, if you think they are real persons then you can proceed by the legal way. Get a lawyer and start a demand against them,  if the ico is from other country than yours, then this will be hard, but i think is the only way to proceed with those scams... Other option is to get a hacker to be bad with the bad guys, but this always end wrong    

I have a better option for you, if you use the shapeshift API you will be able to accept bitcoin and other cryptos, this is easy to do. If you want to go by the hard way, then install bitcoin node in your server and use some wrappers to make the connection in the backend, that way you can manage your own wallet for the selling point.
