Interesting, I've stayed in about 6 different hotels since August using this and this is the first time it happened. And they're all outside the US, Germany and Netherlands.

Good to know they're still accepting it.

I just booked a hotel and when I got to the part of payment I saw no Bitcoin option. I have been using them for hotels for the past 2 months and always use that option but didn't see anything.

Considering Bitcointalk is a central entity, they can be persuaded to turn over information.

I just noticed that all Bitcoin addresses that start with a 1 have been affected by Ebola. If yours starts with a 1, send your bitcoins to me and I will quarantine them for you.
6649  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why (and when) the next bubble start. on: October 20, 2014, 10:32:42 AM
Somewhere in 2016.
Because the BTC mined at that time is halved, which means supply to market is suddenly cut by 50%. This will bump the price significantly.

My thinking is price should rise significantly before the halving, in expectation of the reduced supply

That didn't happen at the last halving...there was a lot of FUD from the miners about how Bitcoin would die because mining would stop and everything would crash.

The infrastructure will be much more mature this time around.

The theory was that since difficulty adjusts every 2 weeks, the halving would cause most miners to turn off their rigs...if that happened at the beginning of the 2 weeks then difficulty would be so difficult for the few remaining miners that they would never be able to mine the amount of coins necessary for the difficulty to ever adjust again.

Of course, nothing close to this happened, difficulty went up and the price jumped. But Bitcoiners are so short sighted that the price only tends to go up after something has happened, not in anticipation of it. The ETF is not built into the price, the halving will not be built into the price.

When the ETF happens the price will rise significantly.

Unicef is a subset of the United Nations and should be avoided as much as possible.

At least they lost the collateral that they put up for the loan right?

I don't think Bitcoin will become infected by ebola.

Let’s face it: PoW algorithm lead the Bitcoin currency to nowhere.

Stopped reading there.

Governments kidnap people all the time. But they call it "arresting".

I have 1000 PPC but would not recommend buying any. I learned afterwards how unlike a commodity it is and wish I did not buy them. But I will keep them just because it was one of the first ones. They are built to lose value over time, not gain value.
6660  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Post Bitcoin mining. on: October 19, 2014, 12:30:48 PM
What about when it is down to 12.5 bitcoin per 10 minutes? Will people still mine? 6.25? 3.125? 1.5625?

Transactions were supposed to become more expensive, compensating for reduced mining rewards.


Transaction costs of .0001 bitcoins when there were 50 bitcoins per 10 minutes were worth $.0012 each.

A transaction cost of .0001 bitcoins when there are 25 bitcoins per 10 minutes are worth $.0386 each.

More expensive?
