This is not just a theory, is already happening on China. Let me share the source with you: https://bitcoinist.com/china-escalates-cryptocurrency-ban-will-block-124-offshore-exchanges/

Is like all the illegal stuff, while the police doesn't know you have it, then you are safe. It remember me when Canadian Gov. ban Just-Dice, at end the owner from that site send the cash back to all the investors and users before the gov take it. But it can happen, Govs have the power to shut down a site and take all the money like they already do with Silk road.

When i read the Subject of the topic, the first thing i got in mind was "China for sure", but i was terribly wrong, and after see the image i was shocked to see china in 4th place. But after think about it, things have sense, The main economic countries should have the bigger volume, and i think i have a explanation for Venezuela on that list, lets remember Venezuela launch the petro coin some months before, and the gob is behind that coin, so, it have sense to see Venezuela there if they want to backup their coin.

Thanks for share that list, every day is a good day to learn new things     

This is a hard question my friend, but i have an answer for you. The secret of happiness is to be fine with yourself, and for that you need to cover lot of things, not only love and money, some years ago a guy called Maslow creates a pyramid with the things you need to cover in life to be fine with your self, and here is the image:


https://i.imgur.com/OE0BnuW.png

The order in the pyramid is the priority this things have, and if you cover them all you will find happiness for sure. If you are not happy just take a look and find where you are failing and work hard to fix it.  

Well, you have to take a look to all the information the ico brings, first step is to read the coin white paper and compare it with bitcoin white paper. If that file only taks about the team and how the coin will be the best one in the world, then it's a scam. If that file talks about the technical from the coin, then you can give them a positive point, but that doesn't mean at att it will not be a scam.

Then you should take a look to the amount the business need for the ico to start as a coin, if you see they need $100 Million then is a scam, if the amount is reasonable then you can give them another positive point.

And the last thing to watch is... who is behind the coin. If the team is made from unknown people with newbies accounts on the forum, then think it twice before join that ico, if the team have one or more trusty members on the forum or on the internet. then you can trust the coin. But i insist, that doesn't mean the ico will become a true coin.   

For sure it is possible, now days you don't really need to school to learn a thing, you only need dedication because all the info is already on the web. In my personal experience wasn't easy, when i join to bitcoin world i used to be a script kiddie who only can do some simple scripts with bash linux, and after 4 years i have learned JS and become a backend developer. The trick is to learn what you can do and what you can't, that's all, once you already learn the rules and how this machine works then limit is the imagination.

Isn't easy, no one say it would be, but with patience and dedication is possible.

Isn't about trust the markets, is about trust the technology, at end bch bring some solutions that should be implemented in the main core, but since devs are the ones who take that decision then will be hard to see it. At end bch have some things who make it a nice technology and that will be the soul who keep this wheel spinning, will be hard to see it die.

Just wait the next bitcoin bump and you will see how the alts bump with it too.

In theory bitcoin have blocks each 10 minutes, that mean 6 blocks each hour, and i say in theory because as you say before, some time we see a low number of blocks in lot of time. but at the same time i have seen before 3 blocks back to back.

As you say, bitcoin haven't fix this issue yet, and this was one of the fork reasons, bitcoin cash brings a solution where the difficulty changes each block. So if you don't like bitcoin for this reason i recommend you to give a try to bch. And lets wait to see if bitcoin take the solutions that bch brings for this issue.  

I have done betting bots for Roulette in the past. My strategy was the classic martingale but switch the color after win. For example, if i start with 1 dollar on red and lose, then place $2, if lose then place $4, and if that four win, i take my $1 profit and start again but now from black.  

This is not a always win method and to get some nice profit you have to spend lot of time making the risk of a bad streak bigger. But the logic is easy to code.

Hello Coelho, First of all i want to congrats for this great project.

Ok, lets start with the page. You have asimple page there with basic information, and i would like to see some more screen shots from the wallet there, and if you can do a video with a full explain from the wallet, that would be awesome. In the https://bluewallet.io/#features section there say open source project and there is the git logo, maybe you can add a link to https://github.com/Overtorment/BlueWallet there. i see you add the link in the bottom of the page but wasn't easy to find at all. You say Flexible fees and that's awesome, but what about send coins to multiple addys in one transaction, is that possible?

I would like to test your wallet from my ipad but i don't want to risk my coins, if you want i can give you my depo addy in your wallet and if you send me 0.001 and addys to send money i will make some tests. PM me if you are interested.

Hope you can make an android version of the wallet before this happen again https://www.coindesk.com/apple-removes-blockchain-bitcoin-wallet-from-app-stores/

Good luck with the project, and hope it become a kick ass wallet! 

It sucks hard, i know, and what about those who only make copy paste, they don't even try to write, lol.

Moderators on this forum have a damn hard work, shouldn't be easy to be one of them, but we can help them reporting the users who only want to spam, those ones who gives zero fucks about the rules. That's the only thing we can do now to make from this forum a better place.

By the way, this thread should be in meta https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0 Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum.

Each one have their own opinion, i respect yours but i'm not agree at all. I don't think $25k will be the top, i think will be much than that. But i like the tittle of the thread, make me think about the big guys behind the price. And we all know bitcoin price is in china hands. If they want it high, then will bump, if they want it low then will crash, ad i know this because they are the main miners. And those ones who hold the coins are the ones who manage the markets.

Yo no soy nadie para criticar ortografia, y menos escribiendo en un teclado en ingles que no me permite poner acentos, pero creo que te comiste una letra amigo, supongamos que en ves de criptobanos querias decir criptobancos. Partiendo de esto respondere.

Es muy dificil comparar proyectos de criptdomonedas con bancos, debido a la naturaleza de ambos. Pero creo que la mejor forma de compararlos es Banco vs Cartera, veamos las diferencias.

1.-En el banco puedes tener tu dinero - En la cartera de bitcoin puedes tener tu dinero
2.-El banco te puede dar prestamos y cobrar intereses - En la cartera no puedes obtener prestamos y los intereses no existen ya que no tiene logica inventar dinero de la nada.
3.-El banco puede congelar tu cuenta - si tu cartera congela tu cuenta solo necesitas importar tu direccion a otra cartera y tendras accesso a tus fondos
4.-Si alguien te roba el dinero de tu cuenta bancaria el banco puede reponerlo - Si alguien roba tus bitcoins nadie te los regresara
5.-Si el banco hace un fraude puede ser juzgado ante la ley - Si bitcoin es un fraude no tendriamos a quien demandar

Y asi podriamos seguir con muchos puntos, pero lo que esta claro es la diferencia entre centralizado y descentralizado. Son polos opuestos. Espero que mi respuesta te sirva

Nop, this will only work for UBUNTU 64 bit

This will not work for other distros like Arch, fedora, centos, slack, etc...

But great tutorial for the ubuntu users  is awesome when someone bring this kind of solutions, i mean the 1 command line solution. I used to do the same in past that makes lot of people happy because we know linux sometimes can be a pain in the ass.

By the way i see mingw32 in your commands, it remember me the old times, i used that command in past to compile and .exe on linux.

So, thanks again for the knowledge sharing, that's always welcome.

Here your option is to make another withdraw... if you do a withdraw of 9.99mbtc then you will have the 0.01 btc in your wallet after it arrive. Sometimes deal with btc - mbtc could be confusing, so, do your math before any move or things like this will happen. if the exchanger charge you a fee for withdraw then this kind of mistakes have a cost, but take it as a good thing, we always learn from errors, i'm sure this will not happen to you again. 

Human will fight for immortality until he get it, i know is almost impossible, but already some creatures in the planet do it. But getting back to your questions i would say. I will not chose live forever, but would be awesome to choose when to die, or to live 10 years more if i want.

Thanks for share those articles, +1 for new days science.

He did it making people think already did it, then spam that referal link and voila there is the 0.5 profit from referrals. LOL

If there was a way to easy earn 0.5btc in 2 days, and more than 10,000 people trying it, there will not be enough bitcoin to pay them all  

So, easy money don't exist, lets be clear with that, if some one say that's possible then is a obvious trap.

If you will do that first be careful, because lot of icos end in scam. For sure the ones who doesn't end that way are a good way to make profit, but if you see big risk on cryptos we can say icos have multiplied that risk by far.

Other thing you can do is buy but not big amounts, that way you reduce your risk but keep chasing that coin who will hit +1000% in some point. Happy trading

Sorry, but there is no way to avoid the captchas. as it say they are to prove you area human behind the computer, and i know it can be a pain in the ass, but they are here for a reason. The best way to avoid recaptcha is by the same system, if you do a good use of internet the same recaptcha system will skip and let you join with one click.

Hello Mark. The only way to be sure is waiting the transaction get the first confirmation. The problem here is... if you accept a transaction as valid without confirmations, then you can get a double spend, and that way the coins will never arrive to your wallet. There is no way to be sure that the transaction will not have a double spend unless it's confirmed.

Hope this information helps, other way you can google about double spends and the risk they have.

What make from blockchain a secure infrastructure is the management from double spends. As we know you can doublespend the same coin, but only one of them will confirm, and that's what make the chain legit.

Some months ago in Mexico was a crazy hack to banks, and what the hacker did was a double spend with the SPEI system. The problem about that hack was that both transactions confirm letting the hacker create money from no where. That represent a $15 millions lost for banks and that would never happen with blockchain.
