I have disabled my bookmarks bar and menu, only searchbar and tabs are visible and I occasionally switch to fullscreen. It's really not that big of a difference unless you have to use the UI every day. I spent some time figuring out how to set FF up so it fits my needs but after that I hardly ever use the UI.

Stay with a solid browser like Chrome.

Nah. I prefer firefox due to the openness

643  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: MMM Global Republic of BTC - Sergei Mavrodi ponzi scheme! Stay away on: November 01, 2015, 05:06:36 AM

BTW, today founder of mmm ponzi Sergey Mavrodi declared "pause mode" (freeze withdrawals) in mmm Russia until NY.

https://youtu.be/hW3i2FKt3Wg

I can't understand Russian but perhaps there's someone here who can.

He's mentioned "pause mode" in the past.
He's quite upfront about it, he says that if everyone wants to withdraw at the same time it will collapse lol.
And still they put money in.....
 Roll Eyes
Sorta like how capital controls work eh? I'm not surprised MMM has transacted millions, lots of the money there must be making circles within the system.

I watched a short video yesterday and something that I kept thinking about afterwards was that learning to code can be a very empowering skill. This made me think about what else can empower individuals. What are your thoughts on this?

In fact, there's a group called buttcoin and they even have a foundation behind what they're doing. I think their most recent partnership was with Citigroup, the bank that was poised to destroy bitcoin by releasing their own alternative. Buttcoin people have been around ever since bitcoin started becoming popular, I think the beginnings were in 2011 from something awful forums, but they became big and some started getting hired by big companies to troll against bitcoin and other currencies, some even got hired to work part time. From mid 2013 they started centralizing operations to make them more successful, for a while the head of opperetions was /r/secretbuttcoin. Maybe it still is but I've lost track.
648  Other / Off-topic / Re: Anyone who is openly gay? on: November 01, 2015, 12:44:09 AM
The us is one of the most progressive countries when it comes to homosexuality. They have equal rights and the social stigma isn't as big as elsewhere, but even there the percentage of LGBT population is less than 4%. America probably isn't even the biggest traffic source of this forum though, to find someone that is openly homosexual in an internet forum of this size I'd be surprised. It's also the nature of this forum that doesn't necessarily make it the ideal place to advertise your sexuality.

 DO NOTICE that the massive transaction volumes have been happening on Chinese exchanges....

People have already noticed it and thinks that it's insane to sustain that kind of volume in a week. It is fake, though the majority of the market share is still in China. Also, it is not surprising for our Chinese brothers to maintain that volume since most mining farms and free trade fee is imposed on exchanges there.

We just saw a 20$ drop as MMM went into pause mode, the price was moving upwards fast until that moment. We can't really tell if the drop came solely from people directly related to MMM but if we're going to make correlations, I'd say that the news sent ripples to the market as the buying pressure that was supposedly coming from people looking to participate in the ponzi would no longer be sustained.

Same could apply to monero, which you so gracefully support.

His post wasn't necessarily arguing against adding another standard. I think he was pointing out that what the OP was advocating, had already been tried, i.e. that grand unification (nirvana) rarely happens.

One does not simply defend americanpegasus, for he is the reason us bitcoiners get mocked all over the internet.

I have just finished everything to their videos and almost all of it really doesn't seem to teach anything about making money. The only video that really impress me is the series where he introduces the tools to use to start using google adwords and that's just it.  And everything to it i find all crap
Then maybe you could close this thread, no reason to give false promises more advertising. This thread has so many replies and you say it's not worth it.

... there are good signs to indicate that the people buying bitcoins there don't really care to make profit straight from speculating on the price. ...



Yeah, they just need to score some bath salts & CP on DNM.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but two of the most bullish exchanges atm have put out announcements saying they're experiencing a surge in buy orders because of certain ponzi schemes that are very succesfull lately.

You mean this?

Yo Dawg, We Heard You Like Ponzi?
MMM Global Republic of Bitcoin added a Ponzi to your Ponzi. So's you can Ponzi while you Ponzi, apperently.
Quote from: /blog/post/mmm-global-republic-of-bitcoin-cryptos-next-scandal
'Those who follow Ponzi schemes will immediately recognize the name MMM. In the 1990s, Russian fraudster Sergey Mavrodi ran one of Russia’s largest Ponzai schemes with the same name. Savvy marketing and promises of 1000%+ returns suckered tens of thousands of people into investing their savings in Mavrodi’s scheme. By 1994, when MMM’s offices were closed due to tax evasion, Mavrodi owed his investors beween 100 billion and 3 trillion rubles (between tens of millions and billions of dollars). Mavrodi spent a few years in jail, but by 2011, he was responsible for at least two other pyramid schemes.

Now Mavrodi is back in business, bigger and badder than ever. This time he is using Bitcoin.'

Those long-term investors?

Yes, this is what I mean. And if this is what's causing the current price rise, then god save the people that bought at the top. Such buyers only care about cashing out.
654  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just a thought: this is the result of the bear market for almost 2 years. on: October 30, 2015, 12:41:37 PM

This is why I think the bitcoin market is totally disconnected from reality. This on it's own is worst than all events positive we've seen about bitcoin in the last couple of months, yet it's not reflected at all in the current price surge. This is why I think it's a bad time to buy now, if Russia enforces that a lot of the market's demand would disappear and support levels would diminish.

Localbitcoins volume is an insane $15,000 a day in Rubles and there isn't a Russian exchange. Hold me...



It's not just the short term effect that matters. If Russia finds a formula to successfully ban bitcoin trades then it wouldn't be unlikely that this couldn't spawn a bitcoin banning domino effect.

Were those acquired with the recent security breach in gamesstop.com that allowed a mass cracking of accounts? I bet they were.

You'd be essentially stealing other people's earned points to convert them to in store redeemable points, you'd still have to present the account number of the original owner so there's no way to use them en masse, guess that's why OP wants to get rid of them.

Well, there is more than just sharedcoin. Here's a list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Mixing_Services

Do your research before depositing there though. IMO https://bitmixer.io/ is the most reputable.

I don't think this is related to Mt. Gox. There's a lot of buy pressure in specific exchanges, and there are good signs to indicate that the people buying bitcoins there don't really care to make profit straight from speculating on the price. Bigger exchanges are more conservative when it comes to moving the price but arbitrage sets things straight between exchanges and due to the pressure we still see crazy price swings.

Well, I wouldn't want such a transaction to be in my bank records. Even though with my e-banking account that's just few clicks away, I don't want to receive money from such a dubious operation. Good luck with your attempt to make some quick euros OP. Not much to lose from trying to scam scammers. :')
