Its a middle eastern law and Islam that this habit is prohibited. The are not that so open and visitors and tourist alike should respect their local customs. Hope they can settle the issue and not be deported so that it can't do more mess about their stay.

Yes, that would be fine. I'll be checking back in to let everyone know if they are hitting the requirement. If they are only posting 5-9 times a week there won't be a problem. I will just ask them to get their posts up. I'm not planning on being incredibly strict and evil. I appreciate all of the support. (Obviously I will have to kick people out, but that's normal in campaigns)

Thank you for being lenient to us sir. As a student, there are days that I couldn't post but when I am not busy I do make sure that I can catch up. Also I am posting here on our campaign thread to let others know that they can still join and campaigns is still running.
723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will storing bitcoin kill it? on: March 07, 2017, 02:30:02 AM
Killing it? I think NO even if you consider it as hoarding. It can not kill it because there are still altcoins cryptocurrencies to used as an alternative. Storing it will only rise the bitcoin price, because it lessen the supply circulating on the net.
724  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is Escrow payment ? on: March 04, 2017, 12:37:23 AM
Escrow is a third party person whom the seller and buyer agreed to trust for their transaction. He is the bridge or middleman for both parties and assisting or facilitating for their transaction to go smoothly especially financial matters.A trusted person.He may take a percentage of the amount for a fee or some are offering free for their services.
725  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 200,000,000 USD is being transfered daily using bitcoin! on: March 03, 2017, 05:44:58 AM
why so many people are so negative around here! try to see the full half of the glass. we have come a long way. this amount is a big achievement in my opinion after this time and with the limitations that bitcoin has.

Oh well, let us look at the brighter side Smiley

   It only tells us one thing: That bitcoin is becoming popular and more people are joining and investing in this currency. $200M is not a joke even half only of that amount. It means also that many people are transaction / transferring bitcoin or using it as an option or alternative to fiat.
726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin less evil than PayPal? on: March 03, 2017, 03:22:52 AM
In my opinion paypal and bitcoin are okay to use, it has advantage and disadvantage to users. We could not quote this as evil, because paypal disadvantage only has a high chargeback for those users. As bitcoin also it has a disadvantage to users, no need to elaborate the disadvantage. Bitcoin users can understand this.

This too and I fully agree.Both are two different payment tool that has its advantages and disadvantages. What I like in bitcoin is its anonymity,flexibility and ease to use and it is secure.Yes you are also correct in pointing the charge back feature.But I think bitcoin is quite good comapred to paypal in so many features it can offer.

728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: February 28, 2017, 10:14:02 AM
Now a days every ordinary citizen uses a smart phone and any one knows how to be online ,the world is changing and so is the people. Web and mobile wallets are available for people who are lazy and so bitcoin can be used by anyone who has an Internet connection.

Thats true,  now that technology is accessible to ordinary people through their phone. Also sophisticated mobile phone is becoming cheaper now a days where you can download apps that can access to bitcoin. Government support can really boost the bitcoin awareness like acknowledging bitcoin as payment like in the case of Japan. With these, bitcoin can really reach the ordinary people with their phone as an ordinary wallet.
729  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ETF -- will it pass? on: February 28, 2017, 07:41:52 AM
My guess is that the ETF will pass. A lot of people seem to think it doesn't have a chance but my gut says it will be approved this time.

Most people are exciting about this ETF Announcement and I hope your gut feeling is correct. Many are hopeful about this. Me too are eager and excited for the SEC to approve this. Let us just wait their announcement, I hope it is in favor to all of us.  Wink
730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is now the time to buy on: February 28, 2017, 05:59:06 AM
Is now the time to buy altcoins or will they fall more before btc stops going up.
Bitcoin is too strong at the moment so it is pulling a lot of the money that it could be used to pump altcoins so it could be the time to buy but only if you can find a worthwhile altcoin that is in the beginning stages.

Indeed. bitcoin is strong nowadays and it affects some altcoin very much.For the question that it is now the best time to buy? I would say that study the altcoins first. Those promising alcoins with solid backing from known company or community group that drop significantly is a good way to invest with. When the altcoin  market recovers,sure this coin will bounce back.Some altcoins is alrady mention above, be vigilant to spot a good one.
731  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Scam indicators? on: February 28, 2017, 05:47:16 AM
Usually scams can be easily spotted especially on investment sites promising too much interest,High Yielding deposits, double your moiney etc. this sites will not last longer.Some are also using MLM's or pyramiding scheme or ponzi schemes which turns into frauydulent over a period of time.

If a person promised you not so believeable interest,  I think its a red flag and needs to be scrutinized further. Also when dealing here in bitcointalk, it is much better to use an escrow.
732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Japanese banks invest in local bitcoin exchange on: February 28, 2017, 04:04:35 AM
When banks started to invest in bitcoin,signs are clear: bitcoins are becoming legal and acceptable virtual currency. It is a good news to all bitcoin holder because it will really shake the bitcoin pricing and it is very favorable to them.More opportunities will be created with this move. Hope more countries and local banks will support this initiative not only in japan.
733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: MobileGo Signature Campaign Information on: February 28, 2017, 03:41:28 AM
You must have the signature throughout the entire length of the campaign. (From the day you start, until the final day)
when is the final day ?

The signature time is long.

The campaign duration is long but I think it is worth it. MobileGo is a trusted one and they have an establish coins being traded on exchanges. All i want to know is the weekly duration when it will start and end.

Say for example:

Week1 is from Feb.23 - March 2
Week2 is from March 3 - March 10 and so forth...

@Jack Kuveke sir, can we check our spreadsheet when it is ready? Smiley

Good luck and more power  to all of us who joined this campaign.
734  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen when 1 satoshi is $ 1? on: February 28, 2017, 03:30:45 AM

When a satoshi is worth $1,  a bitcoin will be worth $100,000,000!
Yeah, exactly.  If and when that happens, signature campaigns will be paying about 3-4 satoshis per week.  Think about it. 

But we're nowhere near that, and I don't anticipate that happening in any of our lifetimes, and probably not even in our great-grandkids' life times either.

With 1 BTC = $100,000,000 that is far from reality. That is too much Smiley and I think it will never happen in our lifetime. but what I am sure is that bitcoin price will continue to rise and it is favorable to all investors and trader alike.
735  Economy / Speculation / Re: $1200 on: February 24, 2017, 05:52:14 AM
Yes it already break the $1200 dollar mark and still increasing. Smiley This is a good news to bitcoin holder and I think it surpassed its record. It is hitting more than its all time high which is previous high of $1,163 last November 29, 2013. truly, bright future ahead for bitcoin.
736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We need to STOP The Billion coin! on: February 24, 2017, 05:41:12 AM
No need to stop the Billion Coin. Bitcoin has its own purpose and so with TBC. Let TBC be out in the market and let the community decide. Still it is the community whom to support and nurtured until the end. Let there be competition among cryptos so that we have a good alternative.
737  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I have stopped introducing bitcoin to others! on: February 24, 2017, 05:09:15 AM
OP has a point here but for people who has no access to credit card, bitcoin is a sure way to transact online. Not only people without credit card but people who are after for anonymity are using bitcoin. In bitcoin, anyone can owned and flexibility is a big issue here.
738  Economy / Economics / Re: crypto is the future, make money of it on: February 24, 2017, 12:14:20 AM
I agree that crypto is the future but which one? There are hundreds of cryptos on exchanges and maybe on thousands already and we must be very careful where to invest. From ICO's to exchanges,there are factors to consider on which cryptocurrency. Community support and the coins whitepaper and road map,its purpose is really important. Just be steadfast in reading its ANNoucement section for devs updates to be aware whats happening.

Good luck to all.
739  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think of people that treat Bitcoin solely as an investment? on: February 24, 2017, 12:05:44 AM
These people has insights and very optimistic. They see the future of bitcoin at it is very profitable to them. Since bitcoin is considered as a digital financial instrument, these people who invest knows what really going online and they are taking a chance. I think it is well paying off as the bitcoin price continue to increased.
740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your biggest bitcoin regrets? on: February 23, 2017, 11:57:46 PM
