6401  Economy / Economics / Re: China's complicates Bitcoins miners on: November 22, 2017, 12:00:31 PM
Looks like China is trying really hard to to spread FUD in the crpypto market. Their initial plans to ban ICOs and shut down Bitcoin exchanges didn't seem to workout very well since Bitcoin is at new heights now and may be that's why they are using mining platform now to spread the FUD.
Even if China stops giving the required electricity to the miners it won't make such a big deal since the mining difficulty will become less if Chinese people stops mining. It might be an advantage for other miners to gain profit and then may be the miners who jumped to BCH will come back to BTC to gain more profits. This sounds to me like a win win situation.
6402  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: is MyEtherWallet is a safe place to stored? or use as wallet? on: November 22, 2017, 06:38:41 AM
Myetherwallet is definitely a safe place to store your Ether and other ERC20 tokens. It supports an option to print paper wallet and import the private keys over other platforms such as Etherscan, ETHplorer, Etherdelta etc.. Although myetherwallet is safe you must beware of the phishing links that look almost the same to myetherwallet. Many people have lost their coins from the phishing page. Goto myetherwallet's official website and bookmark it to stay safe from other malicious links.

It must be obvious to see issues in Bitcoin transactions. The more crowd joins a community the more issues it has to face.
Bitcoin has been facing quite a lot of problems now as many people have started using it. The only way to stop all these issues is by regulating the use of Bitcoin. Many countries have started regulating BTC because it has many issues in it and is less secure to the users.
So regulating BTC and implementing the same rules for everybody might be able to solve the issues.
6404  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: best interest rate on bitcoin on: November 21, 2017, 12:55:19 PM
To be honest, Yes, most of the HYIP are fake since they scam people at some point of time. There have been no genuine program which gave good interest rates for a longer period of time. There is a new program in the market called Bitconnect which has been here for almost a year now and has been giving interests at approximately 1% per day but nobody knows how long is it going to run. Many people call it ponzi while it has been paying what it has been saying yet. There is Yobit investbox which gives out 0.1% per day and I think it is quite good but then many people dont believe in the site Yobit itself since it looks crappy. There are banks which give around 6% interest per annum but then its very less when such sites are paying so much. It depends on you now to invest in which program.
6405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sent $100. $50 transaction fee! Bitcoind 0.13.2 on: November 21, 2017, 12:37:13 PM
The fees you spent on the transaction is indeed large. I wouldn't spend 50% of the amount just to make the transaction. You spent 700 satoshis per byte for the transaction where 100 satoshis were sufficient per byte. $8 were enough for the transaction to process at normal speed.
You could have set a custom transaction fee and spent it on the transaction. You can visit https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx  and confirm the amount of transaction fee required for the transaction. The webpage also shows the mempool size which is clearly less than the previous week.
6406  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 88% of Japanese have heard of bitcoin -- how about your country? -- on: November 21, 2017, 06:43:45 AM
The count should have been more since Japan is more active towards crypto after USA. Japan holds a large number of population who buy crypto currencies and use it as payments in their regular life. Having more than 5000 merchants who accept crypto currencies Japan is still lacking behind since the number of BTC ATMs are very less in the country. Despite the facts I am still proud as Japan is taking a leap ahead as compared to other countries. I am from India and to be honest I am not proud of the fact that India is still not legalising BTC and other cryptos. I guess they are underestimating its potential and the benefits of crypto currencies.
6407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Roger Ver declares Bitcoin Cash to be the “True Bitcoin” on: November 20, 2017, 03:06:11 PM
Why wouldn't he say that ? Roger Ver was the main person behind the sudden surge in the price of Bitcoin cash.
He and some group of big investors manipulated Bitcoin cash's price and spread a rumor in the community that BCH is the real Bitcoin.
Some people actually fell for it and invested in BCH while the wise people invested in it and took out the huge profits.
People like Roger Ver are real threat to Bitcoin as they manipulate coins and increase their already big capital.
6408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Step-by-step guide to know when to invest on: November 20, 2017, 02:47:19 PM
That's a really good story you have put forward while caring for the small investors. Bitcoin wont go down so soon buddy as it has many more achievements to be accomplished. The price has just hit $8000 while Bitcoin has the potential to be at $100k . There is a lot of time now for you to make such a theory. "IF" Bitcoin is accepted as a payment in the leading industry then the time for the bubble to pop would be delayed more and might not pop at all.
P.S: Your title says "guide to know when to invest" while you are revealing how the bubble will be popped. Not appreciated buddy. Atleast put the correct title on.

6412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SegWit2x hard fork and it's consequences on: November 06, 2017, 03:49:54 PM
Bitcoin has been overbought from the past couple of weeks and according to me it is going to see a huge dump very soon. It might be dumped right after the fork since the price is high enough for it to suffer from a correction. If BTC is dumped then the money will flow to the alts and we might be able to see a huge spike in their prices. So selling BTC and B2X right after the fork and then investing it in Altcoins will be good choice or we can convert it to fiat to buy more BTC later. Prediction about the Alts is really tough since the BTG fork bleeded out a hell out of the Altcoins.
6413  Economy / Economics / Re: Greater fool theory: The bitcoin bubble on: November 06, 2017, 02:35:48 PM
There are always somebody who buy Bitcoin at current price. One a person thinks that the cost it too expensive to buy Bitcoin right now and on the other side another person thinks that it is a good time to buy Bitcoin now. The person who buys BTC holds it while the others buy more. This is how the price of BTC has been rising all these years. Everybody knows its worth will be more in future. The crash will happen only if all the people try to sell all their coins at the same time which is more unlikely to happen. As more people comes to know about BTC more people will buy it and that will  increase the price further more. To exit at the right time will depend on the individual. The sooner you buy the safer you will be.
6414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A question about replay attacks. on: November 06, 2017, 11:59:49 AM
No there is no need for an attacker to have your coins lost in a replay attack. A replay attack is basically when the same transaction is repeated over the other chain. This might happen due to low security and lack of replay protection. The hacker might take advantage of certain situations if we are not careful form our side. Consider not doing any transaction right after the fork and you will be safe. Wait at least 1 or 2 days after the fork for the dust to settle down. Import your private keys in a Bitcoin client which guarantees replay protection and then make any transactions.
6415  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price will down on: November 06, 2017, 11:46:19 AM
It is too obvious for a Bitcoiner to predict that Bitcoin's price will keep increasing in the future. BTC is currently at $7400 and we can say that it will rise further more because it is scarce and has a limited supply. There are just 21 million Bitcoins that can be mined out of which many are lost.
This creates more demand in market and anything that has a huge demand creates a good spike in it's price. The forks did not effect Bitcoin's price at all since the supporters had a good belief in BTC. The price will keep increasing in future since the demand will increase because many number of people will start using it. So it is better to buy Bitcoin now than to regret later.
6416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why the bitcoin and bitconnect charts on coinmarketcap are the same? on: November 05, 2017, 02:03:34 PM
You can see it yourself on coinmarketcap.com, the charts are the same all the time. Is there a link between them ?
The name Bitconnect itself means connecting to Bitcoin. So yes there is a connection in between both coins. Most of the time their charts are similar to each other. Whenever the price of Bitcoin rises, we can see a spark in the price of Bitconnect too. Bitconnect has been making the profit in their lending platform out of this strategy only. They invest in Bitcoin and just hold the money. The price of Bitcoin rises which makes a profit to them and that is how they pay the interests for their lending program. This is the reason why the BCC lending is still running.
6417  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Zebpay safe for purchasing bitcoin? on: November 05, 2017, 01:50:54 PM
I will give you an honest opinion since I am a regular user of Zebpay. I can't say that Zebpay is absolutely secure since there are some issues with it. The only thing that I don't like about it is the deposit of rupees. The amount deposited once might take days to get credited to your account. Their support is not that well too. Although they give a response but they do it very slowly and the issue takes more days to get solved. Other than this it is a good platform to buy/sell Bitcoin and withdraw it to your bank. I never had trouble in sending and receiving BTC and withdrawing RS to bank. So other than depositing rupees everything else seems fine to me.
6418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are hard forks the poor developer's ICO? on: November 04, 2017, 01:10:41 PM
It's quite obvious that the Segwit2x wants to hijack the properties of Bitcoin by saying that they are upgrading it to a better version.
Instead of developing the coin together with the Segwit they decided to fork it by themselves. They also wanted the miners to support it.
Why would they do it if it was not for their benefit ? I am sure that they would not be successful in achieving their goals since Bitcoin will win the race and B2X will be just another Altcoin like the BCH and BTG.
6419  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Best wallet for potential fork. on: November 04, 2017, 12:37:59 PM
If you're going to use a desktop wallet like myself I would recommend using the elctrum desktop wallet. Extremely leightwheigt (no need to download the entire blockchain) and it supports a potential fork. If you're going for a hardware wallet you probably want to consider a trezor hardware wallet.
I do know that Electrum is a good wallet but I don't wanna risk my coins on a PC. Since it is more prone to viruses it is not as safe as keeping the coins on your phone wallet. In addition to that, we can open and watch it anytime we want.
any wallet that supports private keys export/import is fine
if you ask for a particular recommendation,I would suggest Electrum or Trezor
if you don't have a hardware wallet,go for Electrum-it is great and easy to use
here you can find info on how to sweep/import your private keys to Electrum:
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-sweep-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients

here you can read a short article on sweep vs import:
https://99bitcoins.com/know-more-private-key-import-vs-sweep-difference/
What do you think about mycelium wallet. Will it do the job since it gives the seed with the backup of 12 words.
I guess this will workout. But I don't know how to claim the B2X. Does any wallet supports the seed from mycelium ?
6420  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: finaly done btc on: November 04, 2017, 08:12:19 AM
We are not over with it that soon my friend. The fork is yet be done and I can surely say you that the price will not be stable as long as the fork is done. People will be buying in as much as they can in order to get the profit out of the work. Once the fork is done most probably everybody will be switiching to Alts which will create a decline in price of BTC. It will then suffer from a correction and that is when the price "might" become stable.
We can't predict whether it will be stable or not since there is a news that big whales are investing in Bitcoin and if so then the price might see a spike.
