Here is your chance, don't loose it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1128931.0

Local pickup only and they want to sell all at once.  I predict they have a hard time selling.

I predict within a week or so when they want to sell worse we see a price drop and possibly mailing miners.
7942  Economy / Economics / Re: Debit cards with a reasonable limit per year on: July 21, 2015, 09:48:54 AM
I was wondering if anyone knew a company or services which provides debit cards anonymously with a reasonable limit. For example, Bit-x provides debit cards, yet if ou want to use it anonymous you can only withdraw 250 dollars per year!! I'm looking for a service like Bit-x, only with a higher limit for anonymous users, anyone can point me in the right direction?

I'm not going to register, because then I can just use any service provider like Bitfinex or Bitonic, my motivation is that I wish to withdraw bitcoins anonymously.

Anyone know such a service provider?

I could be wrong on this.  You might check but I think the limit is for unverified.   If you verify I think it goes up.

But yes you lose anonymous with verifying.  But you are not really anonymous with card being sent you through the mail.

That depends on how you manage this, believe me, I will be anonymous Smiley

The problem I see if you no matter what have to get it send somewhere you have access to.  It's hard not to be known with this.

Why does the debit card need to be so anonymous for you?

Hello,
Recetly in this forum i found out that you can have bluetooth or NFC bitcoin wallet but this information is not really out there to new people for bitcoin.

In usa or uk or other bigger countries internet on a mobile phone is a must but in other countries its either low signal or very expesive or areas with no connections. I think they should be bigger awarness about this when it comes to paying with a bitcoin in a coffee shop in a small village. Maybe im wrong but i never really found any information about this.

As far as a light client it takes VERY small amount of bandwith to send your BTC  through.   Even speed could be argued on sendng is not needed to be super fast.

If you did a full client yes it would take a lot of bandwith, but no one will be running a full node on their phone.

So all in all dont worry about it.

I'm going to go safe. I predict over 1 thousand somwhere in that area.

I don't think in 5 years we will see 10k, 100k, etc.   I think it's going to take some more time to get that.
7945  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [TUTORIAL] How to Earn 1 Bitcoin in a Week on: July 21, 2015, 09:42:53 AM
This tutorial is a process of will, time and effort.  You need also charts out there tracking the highs and lows of Bitcoin vs Alt Coins against each other and against local currencies.

Making 0.005 bitcoins grow up to 1 btc in just a week is very, very improbable. If it's within 3 weeks or a month, then I'd say it is possible, but still a hard feat to achieve. If ever OP pull this off within a week, I'd say he's a very lucky dude. There are no definite strategies in trading altcoins afaik because the market is ever-changing.

This is why OP only showed a profit of around .17 BTC.  He never showed anywhere near 1 btc.

But enough of my rant for the day everyone make up your own decision.

But OP didn't say anything about this.. I hope there are no newbies that believed this.

The most irresponsible was if anyone new listened to his first advice taking out a loan to invest in altcoins.  He admit admitted he could have been wrong, no full admit of being wrong.

I am surprised how many pages it is on at this point.  Did not expect that, the title worked.

Bitwisdom is showing a downward trend:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    51,076,366,303
Estimated Next Difficulty:    51,870,568,596 (+1.55%)
Adjust time:    After 637 Blocks, About 4.4 days
Hashrate(?):    371,007,311 GH/s

Would be nice if this is true and change is under 2 percent.   Still sticking with my statement great summer for miners.
7948  Other / Meta / Re: How much is www.bitcointalk.org worth ? on: July 21, 2015, 08:52:51 AM
This reminds me of the time someone offered to buy it...for 10k. LOL.

PLOT TWIST, 10K... BITCOINS.

Pd: that would be almost 3 million the current prices.

Even at a 3 million evaluation I'm not sure selling would be best long term.  If they can justify such a large portion of money to upgrade, then there is proof of a continued use of site.

There just is not another site like this out there  in bitcoins. It is unique, and unique brings money.
7949  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: online sellers on: July 21, 2015, 08:49:57 AM
usually i prefer if they go first, if you have a certain position with good different type of trust(having many trust from the same member is seen as abuse for me) from different member, you can ask for that

it's always worked for me
Not all of the users have good reputation and the counter party is willing to go first!

then use escrow, but if you have been tagged with red trust, you're done none will trade with you minus newbie that aren't aware how the system work

the new strategy that scammers are using now, is making new account and trading with high trusted member or scam buster, to gain a positive trust from them, this is done with low amount, then they proceed to scam a big amount more easily

so be aware of this, the only legit member are not those that have only green trust, but are those that have green trust that come from different people and the risked amount is very high and not few cents

The key is using a trusted escrow.  This means neither side should be able to be cheated.  Which is a good thing.

The other thing is if you think you might be dealing with a "bad guy", stop the transaction.  No need to go through the headache of a bad trade.
7950  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What type of miner do you use? on: July 21, 2015, 08:47:27 AM
What would be a cheap USB miner I could make my investment back in 6 months or less living at my parent's house in USA.  I don't think based on other research it is even profitable then.   Sad

Sadly day's of usb miners making roi in decent time are gone.  Sidehack is selling a new one that is 25 dollars, but you will not get ROI in 6 months.

To get any ROI in 6 months you would need cheap electricity.  What is your electricity rate?

7952  Economy / Economics / Re: How too get rich on: July 21, 2015, 08:40:05 AM

there is a logical fallacy here, because the more we go high the more hard is to go even higher, so buying at 1/5(like in your example of hit $100 i buy at 20 ecc..) of the maximum isn't always good if we have already reached a high amount, the chances it will fall are much higher

besides this there is no guarateed that bitcoin will skyrocket that's the problem and this is the reason why i said the above thing

This isn't necessarily true. The difficulty would be something like a bell curve.

It was extremely difficult when bitcoin was worthless, because it is worthless so no one wants it. It gets easier and easier when it gets bigger because now it has a much higher chance of succeeding. Then when it gets too big, it becomes very difficult to get bigger again.

I think a bell curve might be hard with it.  I can see lot of outliers on having very very little, and some with massive amounts.

I just see that throwing it off, but I could be wrong.  I also don't think BTC will ever be completely worthless at this point.  What it's value will be in 10 years I have no idea but it will be something.
7953  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: July 21, 2015, 08:36:49 AM
It can't be physically stolen I guess, maybe that's a good thing. So less thieves in the world. But hackers don't count.

that's a moot point, if you hold some btc in your phone wallet, and a thief steals it, then you lost the double, the phone and your coin, especially if they weren't passprotected

the same for other HW wallet, that can be compromised if they found new exploit or security hole

I think a security exploit is the bad thing about keeping it on phone.    If you root/jailbreak your phone especially.

It could be overkill but I have a PC on teamviewer.  I keep a little hot wallet on it, so if i need a little cash I log into PC via teamviewer and can send it.  The BTC never touched the phone.  And it's not a waste as PC is on for viewing miners if I'm away.

Cash can be pick pocketed.    You can lose credit cards and other things that are a pain with it.

Each have pro's and con's.
7954  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to mine over Network Cable with S1? on: July 21, 2015, 08:29:36 AM
How do I get a S1 to mine on the network cord? I can only get it to mine on the WiFi?  I changed the Network settings to my router like it said in the guides but will only mine when the Wifi is turned on? I would rather have it mine hard wired to the router. ty!

Can you tell us a little about your network on IP and settings? And then post the LAN settings via a pic on here.

That will help a lot.
7955  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What type of miner do you use? on: July 21, 2015, 08:26:36 AM
i wish to have my old gpu gear back and mining altcoin like in the good old days, i'm not too much in the asic miners, they are so limited and help centralization, i prefer freedom and decentralization

and gpu can mine everything the fact that they are no as a efficient on sh256 isn't a problem if you can mine something else and convert in bitcoin, the result is the same

Asics are all that keep big corporations from being the only BTC miners.  Yes the profit is not as big as we want.  We always want more.

I think even if after halving the little guys are forced out there will still we some decentralization.  Not as much as we want but still some.   I don't think we will ever see a pool with 51 percent again.

Hurting BTC just is not in anyone's best interest.   Even if 3 or 4 big companies only mining most likely they don't want hurt their business.
7956  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin goes to 1200-1300 within a month. on: July 21, 2015, 08:19:55 AM
this prediction is dying off, it will not happen, there is no more time, even the last 1200 peak took more than this time frame to be achieved

you have destroyed your history of good predictions with this

Sadly I think this prediction is dead.   I wish it would have been true would have been a heck of a bump for miners.

I would settle for half of predicted in a month but I don't think that will happen.   Its a slow climb for BTC.
7957  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Bitcoin is just like as a Swiss Bank Acc for holding black money ?? on: July 21, 2015, 08:15:09 AM
I think it depends on your intentions.  If your intentions is to hide money yes it could be considered to be like a Swiss bank.

As far as being anonymous BTC is better in my mind at this point.  Swiss accounts are not what they once were.

I think most reasons for a swiss account are possibly unethical.  Bitcoin has good uses aswell. 

So they could be the same just depends on your use.
7958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best wallet for cold storage on: July 21, 2015, 08:11:55 AM
Hi,
I'm going to save some Bitcoins for the future. Which is the safest way to store them?
I was thinking about a wallet on a usb flash drive. Which wallet should I choose?

Thank you

Take a strip of metal and carve your (unencrypted) private key into it and bury it somewhere.
You can also take a piece of polished granite to carve your private key, this way it will not be detectable by a metal detector.



If your just needing to hide from others something such as a in the wall compartment might work nicely: http://www.amazon.com/Meridian-Point-Hidden-Wall-Outlet/dp/B0082CRN2Q/

It will not protect you from fire though.  So I suggest keeping copy of paper wallet in bank box.
7959  Other / Meta / Re: How much is www.bitcointalk.org worth ? on: July 21, 2015, 08:07:39 AM
Actually it's worth more then that even.  You might laugh but it has huge amount of people and number one forum in this area.

I think they have already spent over a million dollars for forum upgrade... so shows worth more then that.
7960  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [TUTORIAL] How to Earn 1 Bitcoin in a Week on: July 21, 2015, 08:02:11 AM
the OP come with a red trust, i'll not follow his advice if i was you, also he is probably advertising yobi exchange and nothing else, there isn't any working strategy with altcoin

aside from luck, which isn't a strategy, and aside from being in a group of whale that manipulate the shit out of every altcoin at will

You are right it is red like his trust at this point it say's:

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVICE, ITS JUST MY OPINION, SO INVEST AT YOUR OWN RISK, I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSSES IF YOU LOSE. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT YOU WILL MAKE PROFITS, HOWEVER IT IS A VERY LIKELY OUTCOME!

Now change the thread title.  Tread title is to grab attention.  And he never showed anywhere near 1 BTC gain. And the above is not surprising OP at first suggested taking a loan to invest in altcoins....

And Amph I think you are right about advertising for yobit.  And not only that he pointed to 1 example at first.  If he was holding that when suggesting it... he might have profited from people trying it.
