In addition to what @Slow death have mentioned, adding your contact info will be advantageous as well. Twitter and Facebook is a priority as this is the best social media out there. You can even add "How To" in your website and then add a Youtube. This small and minute detail could give you a lot of potential customers. Best of luck!!!

I think this news is quite old. I mean ThomasV has twitted this last June 9 already. And below is the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D83IpdiF-U

However, it is appreciative that Electrum is doing a big effort on their end and continuing to support Bitcoin with their latest LN implementation. And we all know that Electrum is one of the best lightweight wallets out there, although they are not immune to attacks, but they are very quick to response. They've just rolled out a updated 3.3.7 version for those who are not aware of it.

Forgone conclusion here, the OP posted this like more than six months ago, information is very vague. He said he tested some shitcoin never got into his wallet claims it was hacked and never came back.

Obviously, this is a dead exchange and sooner or later they will be out of business or probably is on the exit. And this is another lesson why we shouldn't trust shitty exchange out there. Fake volumes, wash trading and scams.
6824  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Money is a Bubble on: July 05, 2019, 07:32:13 PM
Fiat money is just fiat money.That what Central Banks are doing with fiat it is dangerous
Money creation done by banks that is bubble .Debt creation what is slavery tool .At the end people has pay debts banks never losing because Central Banks are printing next money and manipulating currencies.It is maybe why bitcoin is growing so fast because btc is kind of alternative money not manipulated by Central Banks

I guess that's one obvious difference, Central Banks can just print money, issued by the Government and regulated. So it is a bubble per se, as they continue to print more money out of thin air and there is a possibility that it will be worthless due to hyperinflation. While Bitcoin is limited in supply, with no central authority on top and also based on supply and demand. That's why Central Banks all over the world are against it because they can't really control unlike fiat wherein they can enslave their population with the debt creation paradigm.

As prior stated this is just in the early stages so i'm more or less just brainstorming. I do know that i will need investors, a name for the coin, real use cases, a good supply and a stable platform that will be able to run it etc. etc. and also a dedicated team that will be able to help me so i think i'm in the right spot. Feedback and comments are always welcome and if anyone wants to help with development please comment or send me a message. Thanks again.

How can someone be a angle investor or your project if you don't have a business plan in the first place? Angle investors are the one who will provide you support and giving you the cheque to start your project from ground up and not help you with brainstorming. Of course they will be part of it after they do give you the money, and see something in your project. So I guess you need to go back to the drawing board. Again, look for your friends and families to help you out in the beginning.

Seriously though, Google needs to be a bit more strict concerning app submission.
I doubt that they will take action of being more strict, there were a lot of reports before about fraudulent and copy cat apps that has been made but it seems they are still soft about that issue.

I guess collectively as a community, we can put more pressure on them by reporting this app so that they can take it down right away. I would agree that they're very lenient, but at some point with the way crypto is taking the world, they should find time to take seriously reports specially involving fake and scam wallet like this one.

I'm glad that your services is still up and have outlived the bearish market. I did check on the "Cryptocurrency Debit Card List" tabs, And I was looking for Coinbase, recently they've just open their debit card to five EU countries here, (https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-card-is-now-available-in-europe-12798388060c). Perhaps you can also included in it your platform as well.
6828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman on July 20 on: July 05, 2019, 05:47:39 AM
~snipped~
Maybe the reason why PPV subscription on this fight is cheaper than before is the opponent of Manny is not popular. He may be undefeated but he has not fought a fighter in Manny's caliber. If he can beat Manny convincingly then it could be a feather on his cap.

We can apply that too to Pacquaio's previous opponents e.g Matthysse, Horn but PPV cost back on that match is around average. The low price today is really noticeable to the fact that Thurman is way more better compare to those 2 boxers I have mentioned and much more of a caliber fights.

Reasons I'm seeing is lack of promotions I guess during the early phase and some people maybe thinks that any of today's Pacquaio fight is just purely business and no deadly instinct at both fighters at all.

Right, we have to accept the fact that Pacquiao is no longer in his prime as and much as we boxing fans wanted him to stay and fight for years, at one point in time his career will be over and him just fighting today is purely business in his part.

I saw the promotional video, LOL, it was epic. It was long the Alpha Lion guarding his turf but suddenly a young and upcoming cub wanted to take his place and take everything from him.  Grin
6829  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Sponsorship and Funding Needed on: July 05, 2019, 05:13:52 AM
As an early investor i more or less was implying that they would be the first to see the ideas starting to unfold. As for other projects i have seen plenty come and go so I'm understanding that. Also this is more or less a brainstorming session but with a legitimate idea of wanting to start a project in hopefully the very near future. Just seeing if anyone or any group of people would be interested in funding, sponsoring or taking part of hopefully something special. There is lots to talk about. Much appreciation on the comment and keep in touch.

Ok I understand it. I'm just thinking, instead of getting angel investors, have to try to secure at least a loan from a bank? or from families and friends or some crowd funding? so at least to kick start your project. Don't get me wrong, as the price of Bitcoin and crypto in general are going up, I think it will be very difficult to get investors right now. I'm sure that they are parking their money on crypto because of the anticipation of a massive bull run next year. Anyways, good luck to you and hope you do succeed in the future.
6830  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-04]Bitcoin Could See FOMO Fireworks For 4th of July: New Report on: July 05, 2019, 04:38:05 AM
There are no correlation what so ever with any holidays to Bitcoin price. We also heard that same argument, specially last 2018, wherein we are in the bear market that after the Lunar Chinese New Year, Chinese will start to flock into Bitcoin again, but we did see the opposite. As we check the price today it plummeted, indication that the report is purely garbage because and there are not FOMO. On the contrary, majority did dump in order to have fiat money to celebrate the occasions.  Grin
6831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 05, 2019, 04:29:35 AM
... again Krygios did an under arm serve which got a smile out of Nadal, we knew it was coming in the match as he seems to like doing these under arm serves.

I don't know why sometimes people complain about him serving under arm. It is not forbidden by the rules so why the hell he wouldn't use it? I heard comments that it is disrespectful. Why would that shot be disrespectful and short ball wouldn't (or lob shot in football)? It is just another way to try to gain advantage.

As a fan? I don't think it's illegal, but probably as a tennis player, you will feel somewhat disrespected. But they can't complain because it's perfectly legal. Just like in any other sports, like football anything that you can take advantage of to win then you can do it, and it is very effective for Nick.

Maybe it was because it was Nick, we all know that he is the bad boy of tennis that's why there is a lot of criticism. But let's say if Roger did it, I think we won't hear any uproar about it.
6832  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Starbucks, Facebook Microsoft Amazon and many many more began to adopt crypto on: July 05, 2019, 04:22:56 AM
So now, we have seen what Facebook wanted to do, to have their own crypto or token. However, US law makers wanted to put a halt on it until they truly understand what is the future implications of Libra will do us, consumers. I mean they are already powerful enough, what more giving them the capability as a payment system?

The only issue I have with this so called adoption is that is not a direct Bitcoin-to-Bitcoin transaction though. They still have someone in between like Bitcoin Payment Processor, like Bitpay or and Flexa as in the case of Starbucks. So we are still a far cry from the so called global adoption, we wanted we see is those big companies accepting Bitcoin directly, in my opinion.

Yes, that is an issue.but I'm not sure we will ever overcome it. Direct Bitcoin payments are still too risky and too slow for businesses and global adoption if we can call it so at the moment can't function without payment processors. Still that is not so bad and crypto has made a progress as a payment method, we can't deny that.

That's why we have LN, I'm very positive about it, might takes years to adopt though, but we have heard some coffee shops in Europe are testing it already. And we have seen lots of crypto companies developing their apps. LN Labs just releases their lnd v0.7-beta! and then Electrum developing its LN support as well.

Hold up guys, the OP forgot to attach the most important thing, LOL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br-6BKGEPZE

The original singer of Pokemon, Jason Paige posted a Bitcoin Parody song above, "Gotta Cash 'em All"  Grin and it went viral. So for all Pokemon fans out there, I'm sure you are familiar with the voice, thus you can connect Pokemon to Bitcoin.  Wink
6834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese Media Is All Praises For Bitcoin on: July 05, 2019, 03:48:35 AM
I doubt that they're softening their stance on Bitcoin, so I would really take the news with a grain of salt. If I remember it corrected, there was a report that EOS and Ethereum was the top crypto when they published a ranking report earlier this year, and Bitcoin? it fall from 13th-15th place.

So I'm surprised by the news but not convince, so don't celebrate yet, as you we all know that Chinese government have made a u-turn on Bitcoin already like two years ago and I doubt that they will change their direction.
6835  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Sponsorship and Funding Needed on: July 05, 2019, 02:40:17 AM
Sneak peak of what? Again, you should do better promoting your supposedly project. Blockchain for our Mother earth? for the greater good? we heard several projects in the past, doing that kind of sales pitch. Unfortunately, the project didn't do good because the people behind just wanted to scam investors, just saying.
6836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 04, 2019, 08:49:34 PM
Just chilling in front of a TV and watching Murray playing doubles. I was never a big fan of him but I was really glad seeing him play again on green grass. He looks and moves quite well and hopefully we will see him playing singles soon.

He is playing in pair with Herbert and they could go far in Wimbledon, after all, Herbert is one of the best double players and Murray is a class no matter what. They will also have a strong backing from audience.

And him and Herbert got their win  Grin.  Looks like he is really gaining some momentum now a few more doubles tournaments and I'm sure he will enter at least one single tournament before the end of the year.

It was Nadal we went victorious against Krygios, it was a tough 4 setter. There was a lot of drama off-court between the two. Krygios appeared to intentionally hit Rafa in the third If I'm not mistaken. Although at the end of the match, they shake hands and appear to be cordial.
6837  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Correct and Upcoming Price Prediction on: July 04, 2019, 08:33:58 PM
You have to understand where Tim Draper is coming from, he is a venture capitalist, investors and I'm sure he has a lot of Bitcoin in his wallet as he famously bought around 30,000 BTC in a public auction. So obviously, he needs to shill and makes exorbitant predictions, so that his investments will grow overtme. Although Bitcoin hits $10,000 in 2017, the $250,000 prediction might take years.

Regarding trust? We are all speculators here, we may even claim that Bitcoin will reach $1 million as John McAfee or it will fall down to $1000. No need to trust those so called experts or those who have loads of stash of Bitcoin sitting in their wallet.
6838  Economy / Marketplace / Re: $1 Billion Dollar’s Worth of Cryptocurrency Stolen in 2018 on: July 04, 2019, 07:53:24 AM
I think cryptocurrency does not yet have specific legislation to protect assets of consumer . People mainly exchange through community trust and support. We should still be careful with our assets.

Governments around the world like G20 is planning to supplant crypto with regulations that can or will protect investors of their assets. But I don't know if this is a welcoming news for crypto lovers around the world.

We all know the crypto should be decentralize in nature, but if government is stepping up then it will defeat the purpose, just saying. So it is still up to us to really secure, as what the saying goes here, not your keys, not your coins.

After G20 Summit still, we don't see any news from the government but whether US government will allow this to launch their Cryptocurrency against the US dollar. We need to wait and see how far the US government will give options to the rest of the world because without sperate legal activities we cannot control these many scams in crypto.

I think US will have it's own regulatory framework, independent of what G20 summit has said about crypto. But I'm sure they are going to work with them in conjunction of laying it out and what they wanted to happen or at least what they want to do in order to have full control back on their side.

I'm sure US regulators are in heightened alert, just remember that US congress has put a lot of pressure on Libra or Facebook coin. This for me will be significant as to what will be the outcome. I'm seeing a domino effect on Bitcoin and the rest of crypto in general.
6839  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-07-03]French Regulators Notice Uptick In Crypto-Related Complaints on: July 04, 2019, 07:44:06 AM
Obviously the price is gaining this year, so more people will be interested on crypto again, just like what we witnessed in 2017. The question is what are the French regulators doing about those complains? are regulators going to put up a framework to at least curb this enthusiasm on crypto? Or AMF just implement what the recent G20 meeting has to say about crypto since they are a part of it?
6840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tennis League All Thread on: July 04, 2019, 06:41:38 AM

Yes my friend, I don't think Nadal likes Kyrgios as he said earlier in the year that Kyrgios doesn't have respect to the player he is facing and the crowd so it will be an interesting match. In Kyrgios match he looked like he was just out there to have fun and not for the tennis so lets see which Kyrgios turns up against Nadal. Djokovic and Anderson are through to the next round, Anderson is the one I'm thinking that could beat one of the big three and even go on to win it. I'm still yet to bet on a player because of the upsets that we are seeing.

Hahaha, a lot of surprises from Nick that's for sure. But I'm expecting him to be serious in this match though, after all it is Nadal and a good upset will be the talk of the tennis world or at least in this tournament. Maybe he can play mind games with Nadal because he knows that Rafa is easily affecting by it.

Federer match and Nick vs Rafa will be like 7-9 hours from now my local time so I guess I can watch some hilights of the game before going to bed. You able to put a bet though in this tournament?
