I just turned member yesterday but I have been in this forum since last year ( my old account was scammed).
I was wondering if lending others my bitcoins will work in my current rank or not?
I mostly spend my whole day here in bitcointalk and online and I'm tired of the ponzis and hyip scams where I loose all my bitcoins before. I can't join any bitcoin lending site like btcjam because they won't verify my account with the ID that I provide so I'm trying my luck in here.
Any suggestion?
sure you can. you could do it even when you were newbie or brand new account. you should use an Escrow for your lendings. so it does not matter if anybody needs to trust you or not because all is going through an Escrow |

i think it is possible but not all the way. chinese has been in bitcoin market for some time now, and i think it is safe to assume that now that the stock market is at a bad stage some of the investors might turn to bitcoin as an investment.
but most probably the large amount of them would wait for a better opportunity to go back in the stock market again at lower prices.

I am relatively new to bitcoin and have been building up a nice little stash over the last few months.
With all this talk of an attack/test on the blockchain I am starting to have doubts about buying more.
Am I worrying about nothing?
do not worry about anything. these people will run out of funds sooner or later and everything is going back to normal again. besides the worst thing that is happening as the result of it is that transactions are getting confirmed with delay. |

So what is your motto behind the post???
BTW how did you find an open wallet with its private key???
i don't know if OP did this intentionally but i have seen these kinds of post for two days now. they are spreading the private keys to the addresses that are in the attack to the network and hoping other people will contribute to the attack by trying to spend the coins. please remove the private key from your post. |

I was cautious myself when I was only holding like 10bitcoins as every 2$ the price drops my balances has a heart attack even small drops function dramatically... Getting to 280would be pretty amazing
..
you have to either do day-trading and watch the price on every one of the ups and downs or invest for long term and buy at a price that you are comfortable with and never look at the market again untill it goes up at least over $300 other than that you are going to have a heart attack  |

if Chinese people start investing in bitcoin because of their stock market going to hell, then the price is going to go into another bubble this time bigger than before. and Chinese has a history of being involved in bitcoin market for some time now...

You probably don't want to hear this but you'd be better off growing your own account the normal honest way. The money you make from a sig campaign would take months to earn back what you shell out for a decent ranked account, so you could save the initial outlay of btc and simply use the time it will take to browse these boards, post, ask questions and learn about btc. I've been here years and trust me I've still got a lot to learn.
In a few months you can raise your rank, develop actual relationships and become a known and trusted member. If you buy an account and just start posting whatever to fulfill a campaign quota you will quickly make yourself obvious and be shunned or ignored and in the end have an overall empty and depressing experience here.
The choice is your's
Best suggestion here so far for me but of course it will take time and I doubt OP will do that because majority of btc users especially the new ones like to increase their btc fast. especially if you have just started using bitcoin i think it is much better to use your own account and post with it and increase your activity on your own to Member. because in the way up you can learn how the signature campaigns work and pay you and also improve your posting quality along with your bitcoin knowledge. |

It's strange that they would've been able to steal both your BTC and LTC just like that. The email trap would have to be pretty sophisticated to achieve something like this. Did you confirm that it was indeed the email link that caused you to lose your coins? Did you consider other possibilities? Do other people have access to your computer?
these threads always make me nervous :S i wish that OP would have added some more information about how exactly he lost the coins and what kind of wallet he was using. from what i have read i think he might have been using a weak password for his wallet and the hacker might have brute forced the password of the two wallet files. |

I have read about a couple of trade discussions about perfect money.I want to know what this perfect money is and how does it relate to bitcoins.
you can call it a less popular version of paypal with fewer usages. but with the similar flaws. if you want to trade with someone paying you in perfect money make sure that he is a trusted trader so you don't get scammed. |

Sorry if it is in the wrong section.
I've made a tx to send about 0.06 BTC to multiple destinations and got a ~0.03 BTC change for myself. However since I've forgotten about the stress test, I've paid only 0.00002 as fees and it don't confirm for 5.5 hours. I've heard somewhere else in this forum that paying extra tx fees from one of the outputs can make the tx confirm faster. Is that true?
there is nothing you can do for this. just remember to include the standard fee with your transaction so it is high priority not medium or even low. i have heard that including extra fee in these times can make your transaction get confirmation faster but i have never tried it myself. |

most of the advertising networks do not allow you to put adult content in their website for advertising. Anyone have a good thread that people discuss the best place to advertise a Bitcoin related ( adult ) related service ?
Thanks!
You could start by making a nice looking signature and add it to your profile. Then start posting a lot to show it as much as possible. Or you can start a signature campaign on here. this is a great idea and i think you can get a lot of visitors this way. but check with the services moderator to see if they allow advertising adult content. i have seen some topics on adult websites and cam services that were being advertised in the services section but never any signature. |

there should not be any fee as the fee is for pool owners and they charge 1 to 3 percent of our earnings . So according to me, there is no need of transaction fee.
do you remember what happened during stress test. if not search the forum for people complaining about transactions not being confirmed for hours. now imagine there were no transaction fees necessary for sending bitcoin. there would be ten times more spam in the network. |

the only impact that this can have on bitcoin is that more people would hear about the technology and where it came from which leads more people to know bitcoin.
other than that it is just going to be some kind of altcoin which is in control of the bank itself for doing its money transactions.

The cam sites need to get their cut. If the girls start throwing up their bitcoin address on a cam site, The cam site is gonna get pissed cause they need to get their piece of the action.
they are registered on the website and have a profile there , so they should put up their bitcoin address in their profite. this means that the website can see how much they have received on every transaction to their address. problem solved! |

i will mostly introduce bitcoin by its usability.
it is great for sending money oversees.
it is good for micro transactions and large transactions both with very small fees.
it is a great way of gambling with bitcoin from anywhere and at anytime.
if you spend a little time it can be very secure.

After learning that the humble bundle accepts bitcoin in another thread, i wanted to know what other cool places I could spend my BTC at, if you have some cool places that accept BTC, please share!
i don't spend my bitcoins. and i believe right now is not a good time to spend them either. because i think that bitcoin's price will go much higher that what it is worth right now and i would wait for spending any of my coins at least a year. |

most important of all "Use Escrow"
also check to see if the seller is actually the owner of the account and it is not a hacked account. ask for a signed message from a known bitcoin address that was associated with that account long time ago.
like an address that was posted a month ago on an un-editted post/

i think that only a small portion of the volume that came into bitcoin and caused the price jump were actually from Greece. the majority of that was from other investors that wanted to benefit from this news and started to push up the price.

also for buying anything they have to wait at least 5-15 minutes for their transaction to get confirmed and then get out of the shop!
That would only be an issue for large purchases. For small ones most shop owners would not require waiting for multiple confirmations. I bought a beer in DC with bitcoin recently and it only took a few seconds. Why would anyone have to wait for confirmation for any size purchase? the block chain sees transactions almost immediately. Exactly. Bitcoin functions perfectly well without confirms, why do we even need them in the first place? And miners? without confirmation anybody can easily double spend their bitcoins and then only one receiver will receive the bitcoin, which means one shop is going to be left without their payment because they have accepted it without confirmation. but i kind of agree with BTCtrader71 since on small transactions the risk of person cheating with that amount is small and also the loss is going to be small. |

Therefore, i think Satoshi prefered to sacrifice those premined coins for the sake of a better distribution of coins.
I think he did not think it would make such a big splash.... When he realised it, he already lost the private key to the coins he mined as part of the experimental in the beginning.
Satoshi had much bigger plans for BTC and he will never touch these coins. it is very likely that he destroyed his private keys in my opinion.
If satoshi really had decided to sacrifice or destroy his coins, he would have done so publicly by spending them to a black-hole address. He did not. Which only leaves us with two options, either he wants to keep them for whatever reason or he really lost the private keys (which I personally doubt). Satoshi kept his anonymity in mind too much to have likely made a mistake that resulted in him destroying his keys. I would be personally surprised if he still doesn't have at least three copies of his private keys in his control currently. The fact is that Satoshi wants to keep his identity secret and spending his coins would most likely cause his identity to leak. This is especially true in regards to the earliest coins that he mined, he might be able to sell some of his later coins and only raise a few eyebrows but have nothing concrete about the coins being from satoshi. Also if satoshi were to start selling his coins, it would likely cause a massive drop in the price of bitcoin because people might assume that he will sell a large portion of his coins at once. Even if he were to get the market to believe that he will only sell a small portion of his bitcoin at a time, it would still be a large amount of additional supply that the market might not be able to handle. I might predict that satoshi would decide to start selling some of his coins after the next few block reward halvings when little additional supply enters into the market from the miners. if satoshi touches any of those coins there will be huge panic in the market. and as the result many of bitcoin holders will dump their coins in fear of the price falling . and that will cause the price to go down, then as a chain reaction everybody starts dumping and soon enough we will see bitcoin die.! |
