This was one more reason to not hold bitcoins on exchanges. I supose that lot of users think that coinbase is a secure place to store their bitcoins, but you don't have the private key .... you can't know what they do with your bitcoins.
That's not quite true. Coinbase does give you an option to hold your own keys -- check out their "Vault", you can use multisig and control the majority of keys. I like the vault feature with CoinBase because of the 48 hour window wait time to withdraw prompting many verifications. This all is disappointing because I like my btc being in CoinBase and now see this infighting. I felt that CB was good for btc because they are a trusted source to store and use btc. I will keep my eye on this and make considerations.

Nice name and nice site. I am idealistic with Bitcoin and these are exactly the kind of initiatives I like. I work in the non-profit/charity fundraising sector and it always helps to have as many ways to make a donation as possible. Bravo and I will keep an eye on the progress.

Hello, I would like to take a spot if there are any available. Thank you.

Include higher fees and stop bitching.
This is nothing more than BTC failing to grow at the rate it's currently being used.
agree 100%. Awareness is up and with that comes increased usage, everything needs to be done to keep with with this growth.

Excellent. I cannot wait to try it out. I like the design of the site and have read through the tutorials and feel ready to go. This is a much needed service and should give competitors a run for their money. Great work to all the developers!

This is a very cool video, glad I watched and it puts a visual to mining that I have not seen before. The amount of cords are insane and the sound of the extractor fans make that a very interesting place. Thanks for sharing!

Great project, you have put a lot of thought into it and the features are very thorough. Do you still need someone to look at CSS?

excellent news that some of the spammers were cleaned up and Newbies not allowed. YoBit is a great campaign and is getting a bad rap because of all the spammers. I had someone throw some shots at me on another post because he lumped me in with YoBit spammers, I dont want to be ashamed of my signature.

At least someone is getting moving on this! Good news for Bitcoin. I am waiting and waiting for a good ecommerce bitcoin platform to open and get this party started.

A $20 dollar dip is nothing. Just a time to buy more. Bitcoin tends to be all over the place and hard to predict. I think anything under $500 is a good buy - so it is great to see the price down.

Yikes, I would not be feeling good right now. What kind of wallet or interface would allow you to do that? There should be a double pop up confirmation for this or wallet software that can detect if it is clearly a mistake.

I like option 4, 5, and 6. I am idealistic with btc and like to think that Satoshi is as well. Perhaps he is holding for the right moment, maybe to distribute income. Realistically I think he wanted complete anonymity and in order to have total anonymity he could not touch or move the coins. I just do not think that he is deceased, I think he is watching his project unfold.

ETH going up massively right at this moment.
No kidding, just checked it out, in the $8 range! Nice articles out there about Microsoft working with ETH yesterday, definitely having an effect on the price. It could reach a billion market cap if it continues like this.

Good, then people can no longer be indebted to banks. I say boo hoo that commercial banks would be affected.

Good article and great that it is on nasdaq . com. I looks like some countries are more interested in the blockchain but good to see bitcoin in a few of them.

Faucets are still going strong. Owners are making money and faucet collectors that cannot buy bitcoin can grab some bits to be part of bitcoin. To someone in a third world country faucets are a lot in comparison to their average income.

I'm surprised that they actually are aiming to refund as many people as possible, I thought this was a massive inside job that was going to end with the owner and higher-ups walking away with stacks full of cash, not the company actually indenting to refund the money.
Good news, maybe this'll bring a few people back.
Definitely good news and an interesting development. I did not expect to hear about that many refunds and assumed people were just out of luck.

This is nothing new with Coindesk or other news sites. In the last year there are constant articles about the "Blockchain". Some articles even state that banks are not interested in Bitcoin because they don't need it if they have the Blockchain haha. This propaganda has been going on for awhile now, they are trying very hard as it becomes apparent they cannot own the blockchain or bitcoin.

Well, higher transaction fees seems inevitable. I don't think it will affect the market price in a huge way YET.
yes it seems inevitable and isn't it an indicator that btc is gaining momentum?

I think the major Chinese mining farms will surely have a plan b for when things don't go as they have planned. Don't forget that BTCC Pool is owned by the exchange BTC China. They have major influence over the price. Something tells me that Chinese exchanges will step in when there is no natural growth.
I expect this as well. They know what they are doing and most likely have a Plan B in place. All of these things (effects of halving) were probably thought out well in advance.
