And did not he tried to compare it with oil?

If oil extraction would not be regulated then either the price would fall rapidly (implode) or we would be running out of oilfields soon.
None of these threatens BTC (we know quite accurately when we mine all coins and I'm not affraid of some regulations come true ... that would costs more than brings)

My advice is: BE CAREFUL. There is lot of scammers who will be luring you to "wonderful invetments, with guaranteed profits" or "100% working plans how to make effortless profits" etc.

Double check every single piece of info you receive. And use your brain (you wouldn't believe how many newbies fall into scam craps).

Boards I'm mostly interested in are:
META - to find info about this forum ( rules etc.)
This one and Technical Support - I love to help newcomers ( but also like to learn from other members advice)
Games and rounds - here you can get some free bonuses ( for registration, retweets etc.)
Service Announcements & service discussion - just to be aware of new born services
Off-topic - there is few funny topics, so just to lift the mood

Heh, I would love to see trader who can say his trading income is "pasive".
This is not how it works. You need to be pretty active, watch recent market movements, do TA's etc. (yes, there is plenty of tools & bots but these needs to be watched as well - once you let them running alone you might be very surprised by the result).

With the rest I agree.

You're welcome.
And yes, moving the BTC first is ESSENTIAL. I consider it almost same importancy as paying attention to sweeping into correct wallet (step 5) and making proper wallet backup.

Just a side note: Rather than how many BTC you have is important how many addresses they are scattered over ( In case you have more of them you will need to do this procedure for each address individually).

If you have all (one) BTC in single address I'll recommend you to wait a little .. for other users to test it and post feedback or so. (as you have no option how to try it with smaller amount).

Hi, I found this a very hot topic recently so here's my quick and dirty guide how to get your BTG.
I will be using coinomi (android wallet) to get my BTG (but you can also use e.g. freewallet  ... the procedure is more or less same).
NOTE: This guide will not work with segwit addresses (begins with 3).
For other supported wallets check official BTG web https://bitcoingold.org (BEWARE: some malicious wallets found their way also to official BTG web, so doublecheck user feedbacks before trusting them with your money)

UPDATE: BTG SUCCESSFULLY CLAIMED (and partly sold). Thanks coinomi and ledger.

WARNING: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHICH WALLET YOU ARE GOING TO USE. EVEN THE OFFICIAL BTG WEBSITE PUBLISHED LINKS TO SCAM WALLETS.
I'm not going to investigate every single wallet you ask for. I already have mine BTG (used COINOMI). So please use COINOMI or do investigation on your own.

Part 1 - Wallets you own the private keys ( tested with Electrum 2.9.3 and 3.0.2 )

---

It's really simple (5 steps)

1 - Separate your BTC. Move them to brand new address ( this is to prevent losing your BTC if something went wrong, also your private key becomes compromised at the end of this guide) and stop using the old one

2 - wait for at least 5 confirmations (3 should be enough but more is better ... again due to security reasons)

3 - download and install coinomi https://coinomi.com/  (make proper backup etc.)

4 - in coinomi add new coin (BTG), find function "sweep" and scan QR code of your private key(s) ... this will create transaction(s) sending BTG from your address to coinomi
!!! PAY ATTENTION TO SWEEP INTO CORRECT WALLET OTHERWISE YOU CAN LOSE THEM ... GOOD IDEA IS TRYING SMALL AMOUNT FIRST AS A TEST !!!

5 - repeat second part of step 4 for every address you have BTG on ...  enjoy your coins

EDIT: If you think the guide too austere then please wait for some others.
I personally found this very easy (mostly due to experience with BCH fork) and do not feel it requires any special pictures, extra details etc. ( once you do it yourself I belive you'll find it simple as well ).

search words: how to redeem my BTG, how to claim my BTG, how to get my BTG, how to split BTG and BTC , BTG fork

This is interesting. I have already sold mine BTG on bitfinex ... What the heck did I sold  


!!!! DO NOT FALL INTO SCAM ABOVE !!!!

Better wait. Coinomi is coming with update soon ... https://twitter.com/CoinomiWallet/status/925842529219764224
(step by step quides will be after)

To speed things up you can now move your BTC to new address as the old one you need to be sweep into coinomi (thus will be compromised).


EDIT: I made a quick how-to guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2347158

Coinomi update is coming in few hours  
https://twitter.com/CoinomiWallet/status/925842529219764224
I recommend you all to move your BTC to new address now (so you can safely sweep the private keys).

EDIT: I made a quick how-to guide here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2347158

To your points:
1. Do proper investigation first (profitability vs expenses, heat&noise management ...)
2. DEFINITELY NOT (99.9% CLOUDMININGS ARE SCAMS - PONZI)
3. DEFINITELY NOT please don't support these crappy schemes (but if you like to just give away your hard earned BTC the go ahead).
4. You can lend BTC using few platforms. Is that what mean? Then yes it's quite good idea.
5. Do you have skills which you can rent? (coding, writing, transaltion...). Ofer them on this forum ( but you have to had some previous experience (portfolio, customer fedback .. etc.)
6. Bounty campaigns. You can get some small rewards for follows, retweets etc. (see altcoin section for more details)

To sum up. There are no easy money in crypto (without putting some effort or risk you won't get profit). Just go, buy BTC and HODL them (maybe invest part of them in casino bankrolls like I do (it's effortless but of course risky investment).

I'm using NEON as well and yes it provides you with GAS (if you redeem it). I doubt it's web wallet because when creating I was asked to ecrypt the private key.

No. There is lot of them (LTC, BTC forks... ).

I think the reason can be the ETH purpose is not to be "currency" or "money" or w/e term we use for things to ease the trading (goods exchange).
It's rather platform for smart contracts and limited supply could ruin it. (What if few persons would hold them all? No new smart contracts could be made at that point).

There is not given max. amount of existing coins.
As long as people will mine it (or turns into POS) there will always be new coins flowing in.

Exemplary case confirming my original thought. This coin has very limited cap (42 coins in total) so the price is accordingly.

So you are crying here for few satoshis and I'm the one who has no money to buy food? You rock.
End of discussion here. Ignored.

C'mon. I tried to help you and this is your reaction? You are just lousy faucet abuser ...so admit that and move along. I'm not the one who is crying here

  and what did you guys expect when using multiple accounts. In addition dumb enough to post in their thread with the same account ( this just reflects your IQ )

I have to LMAO.

Well, then there has to be some error between keyboard and chair  
I have no other ideas. Sorry

EDIT: hehe i think I know where the error is. You have two accounts (have seen you posts in their thread) and most probably you also affiliated the second one to yourself.
If I would be the operator I would cancel your accounts entirely.

Ok sorry for being rude.
This forums is bit different from others and it's all because of the signature campaigns.
People are making useless post (as many as they can) just to rank up quickly and be eligible to participate. And when they reach it then it's even worse ...  (thats what I don't like at all).

I doubt that, reCaptcha is also google.

@OP try to login with another google account (if you have any). Have heard some issues were resolved by this.

Sure, glad to help if can.

Yes. You need to sell them for the other coin using exchange (some wallet have them implemented ... i think exodus is one of them)
Yes. but there are some exceptions. e.g. it is possible to send BTC to BCH address and vice versa ... but when you do that you most probably lose them (depends on who controls the receiving address private key)



I have very limited knowledge of the ETH environment and no experience with metamask. So better let someone else to answer that. But I assume you can send any ETH token to any ETH address.

No. But I'm not using the faucet. Just playing the free lotery sometimes.

EDIT: Tried and was sucessful "You claimed 0 satoshi"
