  We don’t answer to any government, federal services’ request under any circumstances.


Well that's what other crypto services has said before, but they went down from government pressures. You've been functioning for the last 2 years but to be honest I never heard about your wallet or service before. Anyways, it looks like its wallet built for anonymity, its just safety is my main concern here.

Nice website. Few comments though.

[1] I don't know but I find the color combinations not good in my eyes.

[2] .
There seems to be duplicates after trying the search function.

[3] Performance wise, its faster to load in FF, Chrome, and slow in Safari, haven't tested on smart phones though. I don't know if you can make some tweaks specially when trying to search for a particular coin.

Alot of upcoming good news on the crypto market but i dont know why the market does not respond. I think now "Buy the rumors and sell the news" is not work anymore, the investor and trader waiting for that good news to be real first and then they will but it.

It doesn't worked anymore because investors are getting smarter. No buying of news, sorry to say that. Yes, it could be that traders and investors chooses the wait-and-see attitude. But I don't blame them, though.

As for institutional money money coming in, I believed that they have been investing heavily in the market for the last couple of years. They might have been channeling it thorough hedge fund managers so we will not see the complete picture on how those funds are moving in and out of the market.

So they can come in any time they want with full force as the OP have said, specially in the last stretch of this year, specially with the BAKKT offering entering the picture in Nov/Dec.

Bitcoin is certainly consuming an increasing amount of power worldwide, but is it increasing the world's carbon consumption? Bitcoin miners have traditionally set up shop in China, where coal supplies 60 percent of the nation's electricity.

So Carlton Banks, is right. And people are learning as well: (https://bitcoinist.com/iceland-solution-cryptocurrency-mining/)

Farmers have a lot of storage space, so it’s easier for us to move our equipment to their location. You can also heat up the storage space, which is quite clean. So generally speaking, it’s reducing rent, and reducing energy cost.

So the argument is flawed at the beginning. I'm thinking that WWF argument would be next, crypto should preserved those "Whales" as well. LOL.

As expected, Djokovic won his match against 7-5, 6-1 win against Joao Sousa. But damn, my boy Stefanos Tsitsipas was upset Dzumhur 6-3, 6-3, even Shapovalov  was also out in the first round courtesy of Gasquet. What a match between Raonic vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, battle of big servers 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5), it just the breaks of the game, I must say but both has equal chances of winning, its just Tsonga wasn't able to capitailized. Its Raonic vs Federer next.

Fight against scammers and false information that are bringing the emotion of most of the people in the community. We have to fight against FUDs as well, they keep on coming because they have their own agenda.
False or wrong informations were spread on social media that is why some people were afraid to invest. We should spread the benefits and advantages of cryptos so that many people will encourage to invest.
This is what I'm saying, we need to fight against those false information that were being spread.

I think we have done our share fighting against those who spread malicious and unverified news against bitcoin and crypto for that matter. Its not only those higher rank members have the sole duty, but everyone who's on-board are also doing it. This is one community that really needs everyone to fight those scammers and I'm sure that we can find those scammers here: Scam Accusations. As for those who spread FUD, well they usually do it to really scare newbies, however, those members usually don't last in this forum, because they're always wrong and you can smell from afar what's their intention behind, and they won't succeed.
8027  Economy / Economics / Re: What are the odds that the government/banks will truly create their own coin? on: October 31, 2018, 01:27:51 AM
We've all seen this phrase before: that the government and/or banks will more likely to create their own cryptocurrency, but what are the odds that they really will? How can we be sure that these two sectors will create their own coins eventually and will it even change the game if they do? If they did, will it not threaten bitcoins and altcoins because the common people who haven't heard of bitcoin before might choose to use these bank/government-created coins instead? Do we really need more coins?

Its not a question of when, government has been interested on creating a state back-up coins. We already seen Petro from Venezuela, Rubble from Russia, then there's J coin from Japan, E-krona for Sweden and Estcoin for Estonia and so on. So it currently happening. Its the question of will this coins be successful? or will it enjoy the support of crypto communities?

I'm seeing that one reason why governments are creating their own coins is for tax purposes. They know that crypto is unstoppable, and they're having a hard time trading their citizens owning crypto for tax purposes. So they come up with the idea, since crypto is still in its hype and people are really interested, to join the picture, but with a good leverage, high taxes.

I don't think it will threaten bitcoins or altcoins at all though, people still prefer decentralizes coins not unless governments force you get their own crypto if you wanted to transact with them like Venezuela to force citizens to use Cryptocurrency Petro to buy passports.
8028  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrencies and Europe's Economic Growth on: October 30, 2018, 01:30:48 PM
If countries issued their own cryptocurrencies and citizens functioned exclusively with its use, do you think this be a good thing for Europe's development?

a country should never try to "print money" more than it should or more than usual just because they want to get out of a bad economical situation.
in this case, creating their own cryptocurrency is exactly "printing money" and that is more harmful to economy of that country than it can do any good. specially if it is done in order to bailout!

Exactly, creating crypto is not a way to bailout a sinking country. It might help just a little but in the long run it may do more damage. Just look at how Venezuela government did. They made their own crypto in hopes that it will help them stimulate the financial woes they're in right now. But lo and behold the country's economy is literally sinking like every minute so its not the solution. Citizens can only functioned if and if they used their crypto as purchasing power why not? but then again, how many of them know about crypto? less than 10%? how do you think it will help and revived their economy?
8029  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stability the shortest way to public adoptions. on: October 30, 2018, 12:59:22 PM

however, interesting thing is that so far the usage of bitcoin as a currency (based on user's spending behavior) has been at its peak when price is rising fast!

But isn't it should be the opposite though? People should spend bitcoin when its quite cheap or relatively stable just like we witnessing in the last several month. Ah, the human behaviour, really hard to predict as well. But yeah, its too early to say when the market is barely in a decade and we didn't even have a sample size to say that usage of bitcoin as a currency is picking up or not.

What else than low fees can Bcash market itself with?

Big block? LOL. Seriously, There's nothing that BCash can offer than can leverage people to shift on other coins. Bitcoin is enough to be used as currency if LN could be implement and people see's the advantage of it. Now, those arguments about its high cost and slow confirmation should be thrown out of the window when the Segwit + LN rolling out in the next couple of years.

Funny how the OP mentioned it because I'm been playing this idea for a long time that people should take advantage of bitcoin today because of its price stability to buy some stuff online or even make it as mode of payment. Been doing this for 1 year already (paying my utilities like internet, water and electric, even paying my credit card bills and buy some online stuff).

Do not respond to FUD threads!

The best weapons against this malicious intent? Used your common sense and due diligence and I think that you're going to be fine in this crypto world. The problem with newbie though is that they're too involved with their investments and anything they hear around the forum affects how they trade or play around with their funds.
8031  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking 30k$ investments on: October 30, 2018, 12:18:22 PM
Related projects like this one should be posted on Project Development.

Move your thread there and you'll see related topics and discussions like this. And its impossible to find for a $30,000 investment if you are not transparent with what you are working on.

Thank you for advise. Already moved this topic to Project Development.

Why you made a conclusion that i am not transparent? I am fully transparent, otherwise I would not leave my facebook and real telegram contacts.
Leaving your facebook account and telegram informations wont really be enough to convince out people to invest.Why not try to disclose up your projects information so that people would see on what you are talking about.?
$30k isnt a small money and asking out too simply will really be not much effective and as being said you should be transparent on what kind of idea you do have or in short you should say about the full insurance of possible investors.

Description of a project it's not a problem at all. I not say to invest only reading this topic. I just say that will provide more information in PM for those how are looking for investment opportunities.

And that's where the problem is.  Why not in Private? We are talking about thousands of dollars here and you chooses to talk in private? And for the protection of your potential clients, everything should be very transparent so that in case of a dispute or suddenly you and your investors have fall out, I'm sure that there will be fingers pointing in either direction and its hard to see who scammed who. Personally, I wouldn't take the risk. And as @ bitcoinisbest, you better ask your families or circle of friends, much better option for you instead of asking investors around in the community because people here are not gullible to shell out huge amount up-front without any working model or product, just saying.
8032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would people want to adopt Bitcoin as a payment option? on: October 30, 2018, 11:32:03 AM

What sets Bitcoin apart from these other options and how would you differentiate between these payment methods and Bitcoin? What makes Bitcoin better?

Let's discuss.  Wink

For me its the the transaction fees, its quite cheap as compare to a regular banking transactions. I remember being paid by my employer before, but I have to wait for 3-5 business days before I can get my money. If I wanted to get it instantly, I have to pay for additional fees, so there are times that I needed the money right away so its annoying on my end. But with bitcoin, we can get the same benefits (faster transactions + fees are low) without having to pay additional cost.

Copy and Paste (spun):
Bitcoin presents some advantages more than various other payment strategies for you and your clients. The deal costs are very much lower than they are with credit cards, only a few cents for every purchase typically, and these transactions practice extremely because there is no economic institution acting as a middleman quickly. There's no risk of sensitive details being affected with cryptocurrency transactions, because none of the customer's details is usually attached to the payment method. The customer sends the cryptocurrency from their online wallet to yours essentially. It functions the same method a money deal would. That means no charge backs also, which eliminates your risk of chargeback scams. Taking into consideration Bitcoin's latest enhance in benefit, you can arrive away forward simply by enabling clients to spend you with it. It's simple to change your Bitcoins into money or change them for various other digital possessions of your selecting. From a client fulfillment perspective, the even more payment strategies you accept at your business, the better.

Even though the cost of Bitcoin is anything but steady also, right now there is still a subset of customers who appreciate being able to pay with it, and accepting it may be beneficial for your business. If you right now begin recognizing Bitcoin, you won't end up being playing catch-up if and when the money turns into a broadly utilized payment technique.

Benefits of Bitcoin
Bitcoin offers some advantages over other payment methods for you and your customers. The transaction fees are much lower than they are with credit cards, typically only a few cents for each purchase, and those transactions process very quickly because there is no financial institution acting as a middleman.

There's no risk of sensitive information being compromised with cryptocurrency transactions, because none of the customer's information is attached to the payment method. The customer essentially sends the cryptocurrency from their online wallet to yours. It works the same way a cash transaction would. That also means no chargebacks, which eliminates your risk of chargeback fraud.

Considering Bitcoin's recent increase in value, you could come out ahead by allowing customers to pay you with it. It's easy to turn your Bitcoins into cash or swap them for other digital assets of your choosing. From a customer satisfaction standpoint, the more payment methods you accept at your business, the better.

What is the best telegram trading bot / tokens for newbies and not scammy?

Telegram trading bots? Never heard of it and I wouldn't blindly trust them as well. If you're taking about "trading bots", there's Gunbot, but still, it still needs human intervention so if you're a newbie in trading, worst that can happen to you is to lost all your capital because you have no idea what your dealing with. My friendly advise is just to learn trading without those AI's to help you, its much better, especially getting the needed experience and confidence to do trades and making huge profits.

Few days ago this forum add a another rule for rank up.I was got down from jr member to newbie but i have no complained for it. But i have a question why bitcoin forum add task for getting merit from dt member or other trusted member like as yahoo, .So Please add a competition or task where people join and fight for merit to d2 member.I hope it will be help for newbie this forum and also decrease fraud and scam but i am a girl so people can avoid my proposal.

Is this just a coincidence? You suddenly stop posting those facebook/twitter links once Theymos implements the enhanced newbie restrictions. Must have hurt you a lot. With that said, I suggest you read everything here: Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements. There's no competition to get merit, as long as members find your post contributes or add something to the discussion then you will received your reward, but just from DT from lots of members here. The problem with bounty whores like you is that you totally overrun this forum with your spam so I doubt that you will get that 1 merit.

@vella - Federer wanted to spoil the competition between Nadal and Djokovic so he wanted to join the party.  Grin. But I have said, he has a tough draw, Federer's possible opponents in his quest for the Paris Masters.

Round 1: Bye
Round 2: Raonic  and/or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Round 3: Fognini
QF       : Kevin Anderson / Nishikori
SF.      : Djokovic
Finals. :  Nadal

As you can see its not that easy so I hope that he still enough wind and give us a good tennis match. As far as Nadal's knee though, in my opinion, its not totally healed and I do hope that he would not aggravate it, so let's see how it pans out.
8038  Economy / Speculation / Re: Such Stability! on: October 30, 2018, 04:10:11 AM
Don't jinx it.

It can also break out to 4k Cheesy

Or it can break out to $8+K,  Grin. Then imagine thread popping out shouting that we're in the bull run already and new all-time-high in December is within reach.

Seriously though, would love to see the price goes on a steady phase, those huge spike are lovely, but if you're looking at the long haul, it doesn't really do good as reversals can happen anytime and the price going into another bottom. A steady and stable growth could also mean that people can used it as "on-line payment system", which most of us really wanted to see Bitcoin being used.
8039  Economy / Speculation / Re: Effect of news circulating for Bitcoin prices on: October 30, 2018, 03:52:38 AM
I am a little doubtful that what I wrote is worth it or not, but this always comes to my mind and wants to ask this,

If you really wanted to ask something then I don't see any problem with that. But you can used the search function of this forum to see if the questions have been asked before you post it.

I have read several topics here that the drop in Bitcoin prices sometimes occurs because investors experience panic and sell their assets after reading the bad news circulating, and here I have thoughts what if a crypto community has the intention to raise the price of Bitcoin and other crypto by spreading the good news about bitcoin and also introducing bitcoin and its usefulness to the wider community?
Will it help to increase Bitcoin prices?

I think panic selling was evident last year, I don't know if you're here already when Jamie Dimon spreads FUD's on bitcoin following the China's news about its sudden U-turn, so yes, negative news can really make people panic and sell-off their stash. But this year is different though, investors becoming smarter and I don't see them making that costly move. They will wait till the dust settled and see how it goes.

Where do you think we need to spread out the word? Social media's? Bitcoin is growing exponentially and even if we don't spread the word, sooner or later it will take off by its own, regardless of the countless attacks and FUD against the ecosystem.
8040  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Which Crypto Exchange do you use, and why? on: October 29, 2018, 01:49:17 PM
I personally started out with Poloniex on friend's recommendation.

In the past I used Poloniex, I remember Trollbox times and I spent hours in the trollbox, it was a good thing, but after closing the trollbox and poloniex started to take a lot of time to answer the support tickets, I gave up using poloniex. Poloniex is currently 56

What do you guys use and why?

I use binance, because Binance has a good interface and its owner is not anonymous


Yeah, the trollbox at Polo was a thing of beauty back then.  Smiley. I also literally spend hours in the trollbox and I must admit I found few gems with a good pump 50%-100% within hours or days, easy profit. I have a good experienced with Binance and OKex, few hit and miss with HitBtc but I already move out because of so much complain against them, although I didn't personally experience anything bad from them, just the usual withdrawal delays but fees are exorbitant.
