641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many ways are there to earn bitcoins? on: June 21, 2017, 10:51:19 PM
signature campaign is the best for free btc earning I think.

I do agree. Signature Campaign is one of the famous way on where you could earn bitcoin, not free bitcoin, because you are doing something in return for you to be paid by them, that is why it is just not for free. Signature Campaign is not like a FAUCET where they are giving free bitcoins to anyone who will register on their site, but the bitcoin that you could earn in FAUCET is smaller than what you could earn in the Signature Campaign.

Perfectly spelled the meaning of signature campaign, most of them here thinks that Signature Campaign is free but they dont know that joining signature campaign for that you have to maintain your account properly and always be ready to join a good campaign fast and after that you have to post the required post in correct way without spamming. So this much of things to maintain to get good campaign payment. Apart from that their are lot of ways to earn through this forum it is upto the users capability to earn how much he/she can with their own skills.

I do agree with you guys, actually signature campaign now is a bit strict I mean those campaigb managers since people around think it is just easy as what they think of, reputation and good and quality posts are highly required but then people here do not mind it just joining in campaign and after spamming to collect high amount and to get high posts count not knowing they are in lists of spammers.

Always see the news. in all altcoins.
Every good news is affected with every coins once there's a good news many investor will join
and always see the volume of coins

Yes by observing the current status we can speculate the next pump and dump. And by knowing every alt coin is a plus, just like at least being knowledgeable.

One thing is for sure, if anyone knows when is the next pump for sure he's rich now. Of course he can plan what the next move. But the fact is no one knows.
I think you are right, if anyone knows which altcoin will be in the pump maybe they are already rich now. In fact a person can only analyze, prediction and of course the speculation which coins will be in the next pump. And it's not an easy job.

If you are looking to the forums, looking at software of any other kind of  warning system, then you will be seeing the information too late.  You have to learn the signals yourself, there is no way around it.  Do you realize that there are five monitors here in the central office area, going 24 hours a day with the candlesticks on them?  That is just the small little staging area for the real work.  We have more invested in tv's and monitors than most offices have invested all around. 
643  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Poloniex Lending Offer Bug (Cannot Cancel Offers) on: June 21, 2017, 06:13:23 PM
Moving this from https://www.reddit.com/r/PoloniexForum/comments/6ie1tg/cannot_cancel_loan_offers_in_lending/  to maintain better visibility.

Poloniex users should beware that some of us are experiencing a problem where Lending offers cannot be canceled. The offers can be taken up normally by margin traders borrowing funds, but if your interest rate is too high your funds will be trapped - you will not be able to cancel the offer.

In my case I have 179 LTC stuck at a max 5%/day offer (set by a bot so I would have a chance when it came off the prior loan to extract the funds to sell.) I and others have raised tickets with Polo support but so far there is no resolution to the issue being offered.

If you experience this issue please raise a ticket with Polo support and let us know here. Perhaps we can figure out what is causing the problem.

In the meantime, please use extreme caution when lending - test regularly with small amounts and beware that if the problem strikes while you have funds offered at a high rate they may be stuck there a long while.

Is this something that can be attacked by loan seekers?  I know that you said the issue was only with higher interest rates, but is it possible that someone that would normally not meet the loan criteria can slide past and get a loan that they shouldn't have gotten?

Welcome to the forum, .  You have just listed information that every single one of us has already compiled and dealt with over six months back.  We know that the arrival of your deep intellect and sparkling ideas will be the end of all the confusion here, but the fact is that we have done just fine, we have already been where you are and we have already done what you have done.
645  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase is down too on: June 21, 2017, 11:53:07 AM
Caveats, do not use a coin that you do not trust will keep the value over the period of moving the coins.  There is an exchange fee for trading coins, make sure that you do not care about those funds.  Make sure that amount of the new coin is high enough to meet the minimum withdrawal.  These things can work in an emergency, but the best course is to relax and wait it out.
646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: CRAVE: Revival on: June 21, 2017, 11:30:24 AM
I barely touched this one before and I am now giving it some serious looking at.  The wallet is up and syncing, I did not bother with the wallet.dat, it was near an hour download and I am in no  rush, although the masternode option seems like a great little place to get some real dirt on your hands and be an active part of the coins network and not a leech. I found it to be interesting and looking forward to it  Smiley
647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Siacoin Epic Monster Moon on: June 21, 2017, 11:07:00 AM
Dropbox is worth $10B -- Sia market cap is $600M

The valuation speculation here assumes that Sia is more valuable than Dropbox? Why?

usual non sense.

I don't think Sia's a bad investment but people simply do not understand what they buy.

So let's think about Siacoin: it's basically a platform where you can store and buy unused space on hard drives.

Now, let's think who is the consumer of such product:

-average Joe: so, average Joe needs space to backup some of his files. He can get 15GB for free. If it's not enough he can easily rent one terabyte for around 7$/month. Still not enough? Dropbox can provide him with unlimited space for 15$/month.

How in the hell can Sia address him with complicated and unreliable storage?

Dropbox can guarantee a 99.9999% uptime if not more, average joe hosting on sia network? Generally below 95% (which automatically excludes most business cases for data storage).

Look at complicate to use Sia for the guy is: he's expected to go on exchange, buy bitcoins, trade them with sia, install wallet, create keys, withdraw to the exact wallet, find host.

Now he can finally pay:

Let's see Sia's rates:

http://siahub.info/

5,80$ average for 1TB/month and this does not include bandwidth. And the average uptime of sia hosts is way below 90 % and you have a serious risk of losing your data.

Dropbox can offer you 1 TB a 7$ without all of that hassle and 6TB (200 GB/day) of bandwidth.

Now, ask yourselves, can Sia (at the moment) compete with those prices?

No.

And if you think it could in the future, I have an answer for that later.

Can Sia offer the same support, uptime, ease of use, backups, commenting, phone support, office integration, live sharing, ecc?

No.

I could go long and long and tell you why Sia isn't absolutely an option for business and enterprise. Business can either store data in house or put it in a clod where it's easier and safer to use and has virtually no downtime (also Sia's is absolutely not fit for database and bigdata, it's more of a backup service). How much upload bandwidth average Joe has also? I can download at very fast speeds gigabytes of data from amazon/dropbox, only limited by my network. But how do you actually expect somebody to host files on your computer with your limited bandwidth? Also, most business can get tax reductions for their business costs (it's the case in Italy, my country). Who's gonna bill "Saint Mary's hospital" for 150 terabyte of storage on sia network?

Really, tell me what's the real case use of siacoin.

Now, let's take this from the point of view of the hosts (the actual users like me and you that want to be paid for giving up the space on their disks).

Only 2 % of the sia storage's used right now.. and check how much space: 25.7 Terabyes as I write. I have 4 terabytes on my own computer.

That is, the entire sia network right now stores the equivalent of 10 desktop computers, and the equivalent of 600 $ worth of hard drives.

But let's talk about the hosts. A 1 terabyte hard drive costs around 45 $ and earns you 5.80$ a month. That's an 8 months ROI, quite high for cryptos right now, and I'll ignore the fact that to run a hard drive you actually need a computer around it, constantly up. You're also fighting to host this data with thousands of users constantly undercutting it.

Now, if you have more than 36 hours of downtime a month (so below 95%) your likelihood of being a host goes very low for months (because Sia network ranks you very poorly).

So you invested 45$, probably more, for a small chance to host somebody's files for around 5$ a month hoping he'll also download and upload a bit so you get also siacoins for bandwidth (maybe another 5 $, top).

This may start looking good, but honestly, are you gonna give up on gaming because somebody's uploading 10 hours.

And the current marketcap for Sia coin is more than half a billion USD.

So, all in all we have:

-a technology that does not appeal neither to the average consumer nor most certainly business users for whom data has very high value (even if it's the third backup of a database or something).

-a technology that hardly rewards average Joe. Nobody's storing their files on sia network right now, probably only few people that have thousands of sia mined/bought at 30 sats that want to test the technology. Also, you can make 3/4 times more by mining bursts on your computer.

-a market cap of 500 billions for a real network use of 27 terabyes. You can get 30 terabytes on dropox for 15 $, not 500 billions. You can rent 27 terabytes of space on amazon for 337 dollars/month with reduced use (and holy fuck who'd use sia network for constant up/down streams, it's not going to host databases).

So you expect the price to go higher?

Maybe, but Siacoin has really no appeal to anybody. To conclude:

to be profitable for customers (with all the bandwidth, support, integrations, uptime, limitations standard services do not have) it must be unprofitable for hosts (and it already is) while both of them are on a full-of-hassle with no benefits platform.

your fundamentals are sound.
but right now, people dont need the fundamentals but are relying on announcements and news to pump and profit from sia and most coins  Grin 


You guys are a little behind the curve on this one, it should be sitting on the edge of the dump any moment now.  I guess maybe they are riding it out a little longer, but with the fact that the coins value has been moved lately based solely on manipulation is going to make things more and more fun as the week moves forward.
 
648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if, we advertise bitcoin on T.V.? on: June 21, 2017, 08:23:36 AM
bitcoin isn't a commercial product, as it isn't a propriety thing, instead this is an open sourced. however advertising bitcoins in TV IMO is not the most efficient option to promote bitcoin; online advertising is better. as well, bitcoin is nothing backed as everyone know, it is subject to the rise and down. it is just as same as promoting a new investing product.

You guys are like the kid on the playground that has a decent toy and simply cannot live with the fact that not every other kid is amazed and wanting their own.  Bitcoin has its life cycle and no matter what you do and no matter where you put the information, it is going to follow that course. 
649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who is BAT hodler? on: June 21, 2017, 07:14:48 AM
Just curious, am I alone believing in BAT long term? I really believe even after the big crash that will come to all crypto, BAT will one day be on the top 5.
They need about a year to make this happen, but they will do it.


You can do a little search and then follow that address through its paces and even set up some alerts using the daemon or an API if it interests you deeply.  There are a load of untouched and unused things in Bitcoin and its children that can be done.  Some of them are used by a few people and some by no one at all.
 
650  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin be created by Russia or China? on: June 21, 2017, 06:02:57 AM
That is basically impossible.  It would simply be a fork and only one would survive.  They can make their own coin, like the myriad of others, but if the clone was exact, especially at the merkle, it would end up being a fork and with that much time offset and the rest, it would never survive the consensus.

One of the networkers around here tried to "raise" a little baby Bitcoin fork in a completely isolated network of ten computers and it never integrated and never even dented the original blockchain.  The great thing is that since Bitcoin is so established there is virtually nothing that can be done to force a consensus with a new coin without the community being behind it. 
651  Economy / Economics / Re: Will UASF affect Bitcoin ? on: June 21, 2017, 05:23:00 AM
Uncertain times are waiting and it will be interesting to follow these big news but at times it feel like i am not able to make any changes to the future but the greedy miners are making the changes for us  Grin,lets see how it goes and hope it will be for the best interest of bitcoin and not for the sudden benefits.

The impact of segwit will be more in the social realm than the coin itself.  Segwit will not have as much of an effect that everyone makes it out to be in the network itself.  The forums will finally quiet down about it and that will be nice.  Whether a fork happens or not, there will be six months of solid chat about, rumors that cause price changes and then it will be the same exchange, network and technical world that it has been down the line.
652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The stupidity of crowds on: June 21, 2017, 04:54:51 AM
This is not the best place to analyse the crowd dynamic.  There are way too many games being played and way too many people that have mutliple accounts that they use to those to make their posts appear supported.  A true crowd can only be judged if everyone in the crowd is a separate person.
653  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin heading to $4,000 on: June 18, 2017, 10:00:22 AM
The price of $4,000 for bitcoin is a long run and it will not be reach this year, i think because of the possible things that will be ending up in a bad results like the upcoming forks this year and who knows if something goes wrong and that $4,000 will not be reachable anymore so i think next year is a good year for that rally price.
Because Bitcoin is traded 24 hours a day, there are groups of traders that come and go within the market, within the course of one day.  There can be a price drop and if the price comes back within that 24 hour period, then the trade volume in the buy column can easily survive. and we can see 4000$ by this year end.
654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: solution to unconfirmed and stuck transactions on: June 18, 2017, 08:59:09 AM
You can use blockcypher or another site to watch it.  I have seen a TX take 48 hours and that is the longest.  I like using blockcypher because of two things, you get the network information of how the miner software sees your TX and a lot more.  If you sign up on there, then you can provide a wallet address and get email or SMS alerts anytime your wallet address has a blockchain change, including new TX's and older TX's that are now confirmed. That way you can stop eyeballing it on the web and wait for an alert. 
655  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-06-15] Bitcoin tumbles 12%, erases gains for June on: June 15, 2017, 05:33:32 PM
  • Bitcoin dropped Thursday to its lowest level for June.
  • The decline comes after the digital currency topped $3,000 on Sunday, more than tripling in value for the year.
  • The market value of digital currencies overall dropped this week by more than $17 billion.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/15/bitcoin-tumbles-12-percent-erases-gains-for-june.html

A good trader has already taken advantage of the price changes and have banked that back.  The price drop has mildly curtailed current profits, but that is temporary.  The key is to use some of your funds and make a profit and then, if the prices keep going up, sell some more and so on until the price drops.
656  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All coins crashing - are they too linked to BTC on: June 15, 2017, 05:04:38 PM
It is not a direct link between the other coins and Bitcoin.  For the most part, most traders that show up for X coin on the exchanges, they go through BTC on the exchange first, not sure why, or they use BTC as the storage wallet for trading other coins.  That means that when they see the price falling they bail on the exchange and the trades for other coins go down.
657  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: June 15, 2017, 04:44:56 PM
This is one of those sites that has been around for some time.  It is one of those most popular ones and has gotten a good amount of talk on the forums.  They have added a few features here and there and evolved some over time.  The hardest times are in the beginning and once they got past the recording for this and that issue that a new site runs into, I have not seen any issues at all.
658  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC will up. dont worrry on: June 15, 2017, 04:33:07 PM
Price is at 2202.08$, I`m not worrying, and as i see in comments other members here are also very calm, this is something normal for bitcoin to make some peak and come back down and settle on some lower price.
We will come back on 3k and more but I don`t think that can happen before winter, excitement passed and now we will have quiet summer and price can drop even lower in my opinion, lets wait and see.

The price has slowly and steadily risen over time.  If you relax and ignore the short periods, then you are going to be fine.  It was $250, then $600, $1000 and now here, it has done more to make money for people than most other investments and it will continue.  The big picture is the one to view and that is going perfectly and will continue.  Relax, don't panic and let the others freak out and sell.
659  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Did I sell my casascius coin for less than what it's worth?? on: June 15, 2017, 04:12:53 PM
The biggest thing with cryptos and related products is what a person will pay for an item versus its value.  An intangible coin might show a daily price average of $100 per coin, but if no one buys at that price, only at $50, then selling at $50 is not a bad thing, provided that the price is dropping.
660  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where can I find this person? on: June 15, 2017, 03:44:01 PM
That is an impossible request.  By the time that person X has written and sent an email, you read the email and started to act on it, a trading opportunity of any real value has come and gone.  You are looking for the equivalent of Mike Douglas in Wall Street and that is rough in Bitcoin.  He got paid a percentage of the profit from investments that he made for others.  In order for that to happen in Bitcoin, you would have to trust someone with your money and there is little or no recourse in Bitcoin when they have stolen the bankroll from you.
