There are over $1000 missing on the table and it's all that I see  Angry
To make it worse the price will surely go down again in the next two months, step by step, without any FUD needed. I'm not very optimistic about the Bitcoin value for the next two months. I decided to wait after November/December and see how the things will be
7762  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Mistertango - Bitcoin friendly European Bank Account + free MasterCard on: September 24, 2017, 01:21:06 PM
Couple quesions:
1. How can I order your card? "Cardholder name" field is inactive while the system require all fields to be filled.
2. Is it possible to send USD transaction via SWIFT to my Mistertango account? Or maybe it is possible to open USD account?
In Europe, we use SEPA in Euros only, and it's not easy to get an account using another currency than Euro. It is the standard protocol. Most of the banks don't let you receive something else without charging an outrageous fee. To give you an example I think my bank will charge me like $30 if I receive a transfer in USD/SWIFT
7763  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [ASK BITCOINTALK] How many of you would use this service? on: September 24, 2017, 01:02:41 PM
This system can be time-saving for sure but still, need a human action to check what an automated system can't. I was participating in a campaign using a similar system but still needed a human behind.

You can set a length per post to be considered as a valid post, but a bot cannot decide if what the user is posting is good enough.
Can your system exclude quote as well? Because there are some experts here filling their posts with quotes.

I remember a campaign sometimes ago using only an automated system, and I think they suddenly stopped after some days and have never come back. I can guess why
7764  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gunbot vs Leonardo on: September 24, 2017, 12:30:37 PM
Can you show me a link about Leonardo? I searched quickly but didn't find something. I don't know much about Gunbot but if it's limited to Poloniex then I am not so much interested in unless there are other exchanges used in.
7765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could the Federal Reserve kill Bitcoin? on: September 24, 2017, 12:07:34 PM
The Federal Reserve really are not concerned about Bitcoin yet. They still see it as too insignificant to be any threat to them. If they ever do become concerned it will be far too late at that stage for them to do anything about it.


Not so much insignificant since the FED sent a warning about digital currencies, not long ago. Some of its arguments were about security and privacy issues (https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20170303a.htm).
If they were not concerned you couldn' see laws, regulations, etc about bitcoin exchanges, ICO etc. They wouldn' not even publish a 39 pages PDF about Bicoin
7766  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Buy first BTC with unverified identity by direct debit on: September 24, 2017, 12:41:15 AM
Hi,
I would like to buy my first bitcoins by direct debit, but I'd prefer not to do the verification process, at least initially.
Is there a website that allows that?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Paymium has bank cards has payments option, it doesn't require any ID verification up to $1000
Bitit.io has also no verification (but low amount 25$, you need a verification for more)

Of course when it's time to use a card to buy bitcoin, be ready to pay a higher rate; up to 10%. And if you are ready to be verified you will surely find more competitive rates
7767  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Need help sending money from Luno to bittrex on: September 24, 2017, 12:17:28 AM
Hi

I cant seem to navigate sending money from luno to bittrex. i'll reach the page till bittrex gives me an address to send money however when i am back at luno and enter the address, it says invalid. are there any steps that i am missing? i am very new to cryprocurrency  Sad

Try to copy paste the address without ending with a space, sometimes it can be a problem (with things like passwords etc too)
For example, notice how both addresses below are posted differently

"1rf4Ssrf4fkhDhjgt5rgFGklkjnllhf5yt "
"1rf4Ssrf4fkhDhjgt5rgFGklkjnllhf5yt"

While selecting, sometimes we select a space after the last character

Downloading files is dead. I mean files containing movies, software, etc.  Streaming movies took over downloads (especially illegals) People now prefer watching a movie in streaming instead to download. Not even talking the fact it is not allowed to download illegal kinds of stuff in some countries, which helped greatly the streaming market
7769  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Blockchain Car history verification system on: September 23, 2017, 10:02:28 PM
A project like this already exist, but I don't know if they already started to make something concrete. Worldline created a blockchain for the car market... The cars are included in this open book. Then, each check or repair carried out on the vehicle will be entered in the blockchain.

So no matter from where you buy the car you are still able to know exactly what the car got since its birth

Thank you for your feedback. If i correct understand you, do you mean something simple existing, but with 1 centralized owner?
What do you think, will you trust such system, based on blockchain in case of big data amount inside? And if this data store for a couple of years for different countries?
I don't remember exactly if it was a project finished and sold but for sure it exists. Toyota as well started to develop something like this with M.I.T. since some months

Yes, I will trust such system with no problem but only IF it is added before the car is sold for the first time. I mean it should be implemented at the manufactories level. And if the owners can't add any data themselves. It's easy to fake some things on a car to make it look like the car is new or not so old.

So if someone buys a car then do some things to make the car less old (for example changing the km/miles which can be done within 10 minutes for some money) and then he is able to add the car on the blockchain, it doesn't make the system so powerful.
And while thinking about this, a mechanic guy can easily be corrupted with some money (it is something not hard to find). So if he is able to add data how the system can be trusted.


How to check?
Main idea is to add only data, that can be verified on the previous step. For example distance. Value cannot go to minus, and if owner will make a service, and he want to reduce total distance on the car, system can check with previous value and don't pass new block.

I searched on the web and found this http://worldline.com/en-us/home/inside-worldline/2016/september/when-blockchain-technology-frees-up-car-sharing.html
It was introduced during the "Mobile World Congress" this year around March. Worldline is specialized in electronic payment so not sure why they chose the automotive industry. And the Mobile World Congress is about the mobile industry
7770  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How safe is localbitcoins? on: September 23, 2017, 02:32:16 PM
LocalBitcoin is safe and trusted but the people not so much if I can say. There are a lot of fraud there.

For example selling Bitcoin for Paypal then once sold, the buyer opens a dispute or chargeback with unauthorized account/transaction access. It is something common and that's why the sellers set a rate higher (20%) for Paypal sales. The same with bank transfers, there are a lot of people sending you bank transfer and then contact their bank with all kind of excuse.

7772  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Amazon Will Accept Bitcoin Speculation on: September 23, 2017, 01:20:55 PM
The news seems to be fake news we have to wait for official announcement because without government interaction it is not possible to accept bitcoin.
That's why people should wait for official announcement from the owner of Amazon.

Why something from a government should be needed for Amazon to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Do you think retailers ask for govt to be able to accept Paypal, cards etc? Nope. None of the currents merchants accepting Bitcoin asked something to any institution.

Since Amazon is expert about taxes optimizations, to who they should ask permission? USA, Luxembourg, Ireland? U.N.?
7773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much closer is Bitcoin to being mainstream? on: September 22, 2017, 09:17:26 PM
Press releases are doing nothing other than inside the crypto community. The average Joe who never heard about Bitcoin etc is not going to read coindesk etc...
Comparing with paypal marketcap is so useless and oesn't bring anything valuable
7774  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken USD withdrawal delay on: September 22, 2017, 01:47:41 PM
It becomes a nightmare for platforms such as Kraken to deal with US citizens due to US Banks etc. Add the fact that Americans are a very small minority in the market it means it is not a top priority for them and not neccessary worth. I remember Bitfinex or Bitstamp totally removed withdrawals to US citizens

It's a time saving for reading CSV. I find the arbitrage tool great. Would it be possible to add some others exchange in a near future? And what about the Linux users, we are always forgotten Tongue I will try with windows but will try to use Wine to use it in Linux

7777  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coins to Trade Vs To Hold? on: September 19, 2017, 10:35:59 PM
I prefer to hold. The main reason is I don't want to spend the time to write down what I bought, rate, date, etc. I don't want to follow the price every day or sometimes twice and more. I don't want to waste my time with this kind of thing. Why? Because if you buy a coin, that you believe in, and wait you will make the same profit maybe more (or less). Time saved, less stress, etc
7778  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Plastic cryptocurrency VISA card to use in Canada? on: September 19, 2017, 10:07:52 PM
Thanks for detailed reply.
Yeah, WageCan Golden Card is available for US / Canada.
However it costs $140 to order.
Does this card really work at retail stores, restaurants, ATM machines in Canada?

and can you transfer crypto currency (altcoin, litecoin, bitcoin, zCash) to this card?
I just downloaded bitcoin wallet software called Bither and it gave me a wallet address.
I want to know if I can transfer crypto currency I will be mining to this Golden Card.

Sorry If I sound not correct... I'm a total newbie.

Don't be sorry, we all start as a newbie  Grin

Yes, those cards work everywhere and it's somehow better than our traditional cards (higher limits weekly/monthly) Online, Offline, no problem everywhere where Visa/Mastercard is accepted. And so far I have never seen a merchant accepting cards but not Visa/Mastercard

As far as I remember you can use Bitcoin only there, but I can be wrong. Don't hesitate to join to verify. So if this is the case you will have to use an exchange.

The price can be high, I admit, but I think it can be a good alternative for some people.
There is a member https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=963014 who is a representative of WageCan, if you ask him/her you can get a 20% discount on the card, it's a good 30$ saved. money is money Tongue
7779  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Physical debit cards on: September 19, 2017, 09:44:52 PM
There are plenty of topics here about those cards, you can find a dozen with no problem.

- Those cards are in $, £ and € so you won't be able to convert money into many different currencies: you convert your bitcoins to $-£-€ and no other. (the cards are available to EU citizens only now since 1 month (except WageCan))

- Those cards are not offshore bank accounts, they are prepaid cards. People call it debit card but it's not, it's prepaid card. Debit cards belong to a bank account, while prepaid cards belong to an online account (where the site offers prepaid service). Those prepaid cards could be compared to gift cards (to make it simple)

- Yes there is a chance to get your money stolen if for example your account is compromised, your card number stolen with the cryptogram, etc.

- Nobody keeps your private keys for those cards, those card are not loaded with bitcoins, there is no coin in. you exchange your coins with $,£,€ and then transfer the money to your card.
7780  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin.com The Bitcoin Store on: September 19, 2017, 09:28:26 PM
I won't be surprised if the store doesn't come back at all. Those guys are jumping on multiple things at the same time then they are facing problem to get enough time to run their project correctly and then they abandon it.

Me too, this summer I wanted to purchase something for fun but always saw the message saying they are updating-changing-revamping or whatever their site. I just don't want to use them, I lost my moon to buy a Bitcoin item lol and if it comes back I sure won't visit their store
