Coinbase has announced customers across 26 countries can buy bitcoin "instantly" from today. Previously, users could top up their accounts via bank transfer, however the exchange now supports 3D Secure credit and debit cards – having trialled the technology in the UK and Spain. In a blog post, the company stated: "Since credit and debit cards will not require a customer to pre-fund their Coinbase account with a bank transfer, customers can now receive bitcoin much faster."
Pretty good informations if you ask me , however we need exchange that accept PayPal these days (Virwox fees just .. sucks) Continue reading at Coindesk : http://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-makes-instant-bitcoin-buying-available-in-26-countries/Yes, but limits for instant buying are ridiculous. Only €40 per day. I am from France. And it's stated that even if you apply for a limit increase, your instant buying limits won't increase. So if you wanna buy some more serious amounts, you still have to wire the money. Not only that but availability of such services is also limited. I think that banks in southern EU countries have just started rolling out products using this '3d security' protocol this year. So the instant buy is definitely not available in 26 countries and also not big news due to transactions being so limited. |

I liked when the interviewer said that Romanians don't like XT, he completely doged that question with an unrelated answer. I guess that must be the reason he wasn't as radical when supporting his opinions about bitcoin there.
Also, when he started using bitcoin there weren't any fees? Even if that's remotely true, the fees exist for a reason. Why would anyone be in support of a developer looking to take fees away from bitcoin? The fee market exists to satisfy demand and supply, and it has been doing that well. This is the last reason the block size should be changed. Getting content in the blockchain shouldn't be worthless, it should rather be expensive when done in large quantities.
he never said he wanted to "take fees away from bitcoin"... shouldn't the people who actually do the storing and processing determine how expensive it should be? if they have any business sense they will try to get fees at a level where 80%+ of TX are willing to pay the fee to perform the TX, any less the 80% and they're losing out on TX volume, and more then that and they aren't getting enough fee pre TX. Might just be me, but the only assumption I can come to by hearing Mike being nostalgic of a bitcoin without fees is this. I believe the existing fee market is good to provide balance between both parties involved (miners, users). IMO a rapid change to the block size limit could destabilize that. |

Seems like the browser doesn't display gifs? That's such a shame. Dev, can you answer my question about the store? I was experimenting with the market and tried to put something up for sale but couldn't. Always got a message about wrong icon link.

This is likely made by a third party unrelated to neucoin but still quite funny. If the rich list is real then no wonder why the "Foundation" didn't release an explorer earlier. |

I think that earnit is more of a joke. Piggybanks always had an appeal to be phisical items where you store small amounjts of money like change. Why create such a thing for electronic transactions? The fees involved and the required trust in the third party that has to come in to store them e-money completely negates the concept of a piggybank for me.

Fucking lol OP, you'd make good company with the paid shills in /r/buttcoin...  Seriously though, don't you think that it's a little early to judge the innovation that could come out of ethereum? If years pass and there's no significant use cases or applications developed then you would be able to say that it was overvalued without having to be called a FUDster. But I think that this is unlikely. |

You mean this? 2. 128 GB memory card: $75.95
If we're talking a normal SD card, you can get 128GB easily for under $40. They're either making frivolous purchases for their hardware, or overpricing their parts. I can't say that this computer is a good deal if the hardware costs are so high for what you get. They're just greedy over profit margins or overprice their product. The hardware is not worth 400$ in any shape or form, but we haven't gotten to know what the overall service and network is going to be capable of. With all the mystery that 21 leave unexplained I wouldn't expect their device to be anything more than a cash grab. |

You should put programmability and neutrality in there.
If you think bitcoin would be efficient for your plans, you could program an application and use bitcoin very easily as a token of monetary value for your services without intervention of third parties being required to complete transactions.
And also neutrality protects users from having to abide by certain laws or limitations when using bitcoin for transactions.
Neutrality of bitcoin is really a moot point. There are many factors which influence bitcoin, for know it may seems that BTC is free from external pressure, but is it really free? Recent war between XT and Core showed us rather different situation. You probably don't grasp the notion of neutrality in bitcoin. The community isn't impartial, of course, but that's not bitcoin in it self. Here's Andreas talking about bitcoin's neutrality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT8FXQN-9-A |

allyouracid and worhiper...you're are all full of shit!!! No reputable email provider like google, yahoo, or hotmail would deny you the account and certainly not delete it. Only a half-assed disposable email provider would do that. Either way... it's his fault.  Man, relax. Someone's money could be at stake here and you think that spewing what you think email providers do is a good idea? Don't call names and don't make assumptions. You don't even know what service OP was using, besides, no one but btc-e can verify if his claims are valid. So far it doesn't look like they're putting great effort to look into recovering an account containing 70k USD. |

It might be just me but I'm yet to find a downloadable wallet that I could use to introduce my clueless family to bitcoin. I'd love to send them fractions of coins but there's no application simple enough to help with that. And when I say simple, I mean as simple as it can get. Take skype an an example, when it came out it was the most popular application of it's kind because it oversimplified a process that wasn't accessible to people with very little or no technical knowledge. Some features might have been snipped off, but usability is the same. An equivalent with bitcoin would be forgetting fundamentalism, stripping down everything but receiving/sending bitcoin (and few other things).

Ah, thanks. I'm not looking for accounts with high karma specifically though. I'm more interested on accounts related to BTC and crypto but I guess that I could resort to this seller if I have no luck elsewhere. |

I don't think that's too unexpected. With the way ETH was distributed, many of the investors tryied to profit from the launch. It's market will be bearish for a lot of time until it starts being useful in one way or another. Ether has a lot of potential uses but believe it or not, many have yet to grasp what's going on. Give it some time and the market will stabilize, but it won't go up necessarily.

Hey all. I'd like to buy a reddit account and looking for gofers. Ideally, the account should have posted some comments or links to bitcoin or cryptocurrency related subreddits.

Are certain nodes only receiving data? I have added many posted here but only a couple feed my node with data while I'm 5 weeks behind.

I think that as long as something gets the word out for bitcoin without it being about negative news then it's good. Obviously CEOs are going to use every chance they get for publicity of their venture but that doesn't take away the fact that the CEO of a hugely successful venture received coverage after having something positive to say about BTC.
