7661  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Bitwala - Pay Your Bills With Bitcoin in Europe on: October 16, 2017, 11:22:54 PM
I visited the roadmap, I am  Grin Grin Grin

I knew Bitwala is a company that can't stop to provide just a Bitcoin wallet and card and has a potential to go to the next level. You haven't got the "Best Blockchain Startup" (at the Fintech forum in Paris) without doing anything. I am in hurry to see how Bitwala will grow.
When you will offer the EU bank account/IBAN I will happy to close one bank account I own and replace it with Bitwala service.
7662  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think ? Bitcoin is going to hit big value soon like 7000$ and more ? on: October 16, 2017, 09:51:24 PM
Everyone here can say Bitcoin value will be $7000 next month, $9000 for Christmas, $15000 for the next year etc but no one is able to give arguments to explain. You can't just say this or that without explaining your opinion. It's not a lottery or a casino game where you need to guess a number.
Listening to people here everybody is economist
7663  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Surges Above $4900 Amid Catalan 'Independence' Declaration on: October 16, 2017, 09:11:47 PM
You think like this because you're maybe a European... But most of the people have no idea what's going on in Spain, and a large percentage has no idea that Spain is a country. With your graph, it could be the speech Puigdemont like it could be Lady Gaga latest shoes... I mean, who gives a fuck about the latest shoes of Lady Gaga like who gives a fuck about a country they don't know. There are millions of American citizens who think Europe is a country (seriously) for example.

I don't think that what's going on in Spain has something to do with it.
7664  Local / Hors-sujet / Re: ID Bitcointalk hackés en masse ? on: October 16, 2017, 06:37:00 PM
Voilà, c'est récupéré.

Le problème vient bien d'un leak (hack/récupération) de la base utilisateur du forum en 2015 (un sujet en parle sur la section META sans être très précis).

Vous devez changer votre mot de passe du forum si vous ne l'avez pas fait chaque année (au moins).

Ca c'est l'excuse officielle. Seulement une grande partie des comptes compromis sont des comptes inscrits apres ce probleme de 2015.
7665  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Big Banks are so Nervous About Bitcoin ? Why ? on: October 16, 2017, 04:54:08 PM
I think they are nervous because they can't control anymore the bitcoin once it has been the official currency since bitcoin is decentralized. Fiat money is being controlled by banks therefore its centralized. When bitcoin becomes popular around the world, banks will be forgotten that's why bank owners are nervous about bitcoin.

Banks have never controlled Bitcoin a single time because no one can do it.

Now let's imagine a day if Bitcoin becomes an official currency worldwide. Do you think that the banks will sit on their chair without doing anything? No, they will adapt as they do for thousands of years. Remember that cards, checks/cheques, bank notes, didn't exist thousands of years ago.

A possibility could be that they apply Bitcoin in their system. They will have still plenty of customers because the average person doesn't want to deal with instaling a bitcoin client, the private keys and all that goes around
7666  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Financial Crisis and Safe Havens on: October 16, 2017, 02:55:59 PM
You crypto portfolio shouldn't be over 20%. At least I won't. 70%-90% is just too much in such volatile market, and I am not sure if we can consider cryptos as a "safe haven"  I will prefer to invest at least 50% in precious metals which are far more safe than cryptos. 70% in cryptos you are taking the risk to the extreme as possible. But, of course, you know, usually bigger risk means bigger profits, but when it's about securing your investments it is something else.
7667  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Medicine and cryptocurrency on: October 16, 2017, 02:17:09 PM
It can be used to record the history of the patient for example. It's some extremely sensitive data, I am not aware if a data breach already happened in this field but if it happens it will be a big scandal.

With the cryptography and signature, those data could be visible only with the approval of you or a doctor, pharmacy, or something like that. I think It could also increase the efficiency of a healthcare system generally speaking.(payments, bills, whatever).
7668  Economy / Exchanges / Re: BTC to XMR exchange without KYC? on: October 16, 2017, 10:36:04 AM
You can use Cryptopia if you want to trade BTC/XMR. It's a reliable exchange platform so far.
You don't need to have a verified account as long you don't need to withdraw 5000$ daily. It's a high limit for most of the people. And if you need over $5000 then do it during multiple days.
There is HitBtc as well but I am not 100% sure about the KYC there, I used it one time only but didn't do anything regarding giving personal information
7669  Economy / Exchanges / Re: I need your help or advice about exchange on: October 14, 2017, 02:12:30 PM
I vote for Cryptopia as well. There are a lot of coins listed there but most important is they have a good support and reply to each ticket in a timely manner. They don't disable account for a stupid reason like some others, and they don't avoid to reply to people and their support tickets as well on social networks. They do have a topic on this forum and you can see them quite active in. So it's not an exchange that will let you alone with a problem you may have.
7670  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: one of the major risks of digital currencies is to see it disappear why? on: October 14, 2017, 10:29:00 AM
Money is backed by nothing more than a ponzi scheme and it's useless if suddenly the current banking system collapse. Or if it becomes like in Zimbabwe where 1 million is equal to 7$ maybe.... Money in banks is not your once deposited, you lend the money to the bank and there is no collateral lol.
7671  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin keep rising past $5,200? on: October 13, 2017, 02:37:18 PM
In july the price was going amazingly like this days, but it was also losing a lot. We are not exempt to see the same situation this month. Most people are buying bitcoins with the hope to get free coins with the next fork. They missed bitcoin cash they don't want to miss the next train. It's the only reason why bitcoin price is going up
7672  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mining by using website visiters on: October 13, 2017, 02:19:41 PM
Came across a site, which tried to upload Trojan to my PC. It turned out it was using my capacities for mining while I was at the site. What do you know about such sites? Do they do any harm to PCs? And is it profitable to mine by such means?

Now not all the cloud sites contains the malware's in it. If they have many advertising on the pages you can understand they are too much money concerned site so they will give errors in using the site or payment won't be proper for the miners you have invested there to buy the hash powers from the network pools.

Totaly not relevant to what the OP is talking about. He is talking about something like coinhive. Website owner install a code to his site and when someone visits the site his computer is used to mine Monero. Antivirus may consider the site as infected with a virus. Good way to say bye bye to your traffic in my opinion. So it is not about cloud mining sites in any way.

7674  Economy / Exchanges / Re: $35,000 usdt appears to be missing from Bittrex Account on: October 11, 2017, 02:35:00 PM
Are you sure your order has been filled? It seems not so that may be the reason. What do you see on the "Wallet" page ?
Check the "orders" page and see, if it's not complete you can click a button X to cancel and get the BTC back

I would contact their customer support directly if I were you rather than post here. they'll likely be able to help.

He did it already if you read his first post
7675  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Advcash is gone too. Important Advanced Cash Card Program Update on: October 11, 2017, 01:44:36 PM
Your title is misleading as Advcash is not gone, and they are operating just fine. They just stop to offer service outside the European zone. Like any other service that was using the same issuer Mychoice. Secondly, most of the owners of the card are aware of this since more than 1 month.
Wagecan and Cryptopay are alternatives for those still looking for a card but are not European
7676  Economy / Economics / Re: each state will create its own token? on: October 08, 2017, 05:22:40 PM
The population still needs an internet connection to be able to use. So what about the citizens who don't have an internet access? They will become "unbanked"
USA (~300 million citizens) and Australia (~25 million citizens) are the top countries with internet access but still, only 90% of the population has access to the internet. It means over 32 million citizens won't have access to a banking (crypto-based) system
In some countries in Africa, only 10% of the citizens have internet access, it means 90% of the population won't have access to a banking system. Can't run this type of economy (cryptos based) in those countries.
7677  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHY OWNER IS HIDING on: October 08, 2017, 04:32:30 PM
Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time now. Facts have it that Bitcoin was created by own Satoshi Nakamoto or so and since he did that he has gone underground and has been hidden. Now I'm wondering, I made an invention that is now worth so much money in the world and am still hiding, what could have been the reasons for his action??

Do you understand what is cryptography? Does it make sense to you to see why Satoshi doesn't feel the need to show his face? To do what?
True cypherpunks, cryptographs, anarchists are not interested in money. Their freedom worth more than that.
Satoshi can get more problems that anything else and it doesn't worth the risk for him (and the whole family, considering Satoshi is an individual)
7678  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the Best coin? Wrong question?? on: October 08, 2017, 03:55:46 PM
I was looking at an inflamed topic on a local facebook BTC board about a particular alt. And people had various answers. What i´m beggining to believe for the sake of valuable discussions is the question is not right. When we discuss alts or other coins we should make clear what our point and goal is. are we looking at alts as speculative assets to take a more or less quick buck? or are we talking about alts because we still share a dream of a disruptive technology that could deviate the course of history a little bit? I see all the answers focusing on the trading potential of the coins and less and less discussion on their adoption in the true economy.

So what coins do you see being widely used for everyday porpuses? any of the current coins as we now them will be used to pay for a coffee in the more or less near future?

Because most of the people are seeing cryptocurrencies as an investment and don't really care about the ideology behind and the purpose. People are mainly looking for quick profits and don't really care about anything else.
Someone may choose X or Y because it is performing amazingly this recent day (someone looking for profits as I said) Another one may prefer A or B for the feature it has. For example, someone may prefer Monero or Zencash because he thinks anonymity is what is important in cryptos and those two altcoins provide it better than Bitcoin.

Most of the cryptocurrencies have different purposes and target different types of person.
7679  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FUCKING COINBASE on: October 08, 2017, 02:52:22 PM
Forgot my Coinbase password...

So I chose to reset my password. I enter me email address, they send me an email...which says we'll send you ANOTHER email to prompt you to change your password. But this email will arrive IN 24 HOURS.

What the fuck?

Every post I've made supporting Coinbase, I take it back.

Coinbase, if you're listening, get your shit together. You need to run your business as if it was a fucking real business. I should be getting an "reset your password" email within 10 minutes. Full stop.

Not worst than Xapo. They send you SMS/email every ~6 hours during 24 hours and you need at least 24 hours to be able to reset your password. So if you needed to make a transaction asap, somply forget about it.

Me too I find this irritating but as a security step, I understand it. After all, if someone is trying to hijack your account (after taking control of your email) you will find this step very useful
7680  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where does your biggest return come from, in cryptocurrency ? on: October 08, 2017, 02:27:41 PM
As I am not too much playing with altcoins my biggest return comes from Bitcoin itself. I am still holding coins that I bought back when the price was about $200-250. I buy some altcoins from time to time but usually, I don't keep them long enough. Mining and trading are definitely not for me, so I try to avoid those parts.
