Are they still active if they have lost all their money?  |

I wish something would "overcome" PayPal. How they can get away with 6 month confirmation times, and call themselves "new Money" is beyond me.
To answer the OP - Will oranges replace sausages? They are totally different things, as are Bitcoin and PayPal.

Lightning is only really viable for frequent and repeated transactions. It's no use at all for occasional one-off purchases or trades. Things like faucets and micropayments in particular and maybe also things like gambling sites and payments for sig campaigns? Awesome, use Lightning to limit bloat on the blockchain from lots of small amounts going to the same place. Settle the total on the blockchain maybe once a month or whatever. But for most other types of transaction? Not so much. It really has been over-hyped as an overall "solution" to scaling. It will help in some situations, but it's not a magic cure.
But for anyone who thinks that direct on-chain transactions should be the preserve of a wealthy minority of whales and everyone else is getting shunted off to Lightning, you can think again. Not happening. Bitcoin will not become a two-tier system. One way or another, there will be an increase (albeit a cautious one) to the blocksize as demand increases.
Thanks for posting that. The sooner we can get gambling, faucets and ponzis off the main blockstream, the better it will be for all of us. |

I assume you are reviewing casinos rather than Bitcoin. If so, this would be better on the gambling, ponzi and "how to lose your Satoshis" boards.

i would like to know if they did it because they believe in bitcoin, think they can make more money this way or if it is just a pr stunt.
Probably all three. It would be interesting to know if they are keeping the coins, or exchanging them quickly. If I get time. I might look up the wallet info. |

Humour is such a personal thing - there isn't even agreement on how to spell the word. I've had a few posts deleted because some people don't seem to understand the subtlety of English humour. Having said that, I think that the post in question was rather long, and I don't think I would have read past the first sentence unless I was drawn to the post specifically. I did read all the way through it, and I'm afraid it didn't even raise a smile in me, but, as the last judge said, I do have a warped sense of humour. |

Put the wallet.dat on a network share. Then make a symlink to it from the data directory.
Could you do that with a wallet on a mobile, and the blockchain on a PC? Theoretically yes, but don't be surprised when your wallet crashes pretty often! Everytime you lose the connection or there are delays or whatever problem occurs, baam the client will propably crash! I was thinking of using bluetooth or usb to connect to the blockchain. I'd probably remove the sim from the phone as well. On thinking about it, I guess it wouldn't work. If I updated the blockchain on the pc, then I guess the mobile would have problems re-sync'ing itself. |

I'm getting the feeling that Bitcoin will become a reserve currency more than a trading currency. The new bank and government offerings will become difficult competion in the trading arena. To gain credibility as a reserve currency, it needs to move gambling sites out of the main structure. Perhaps someone could start a sidechain for gambling sites in the same way that Neteller helped fiat transfers.

I thought the recent rise in the price of Bitcoin was due to Chinese capital restructuring for tax purposes as we enter a new year of world uncertainty. The recent drop is probably just a natural reversion to its economic value as the capital flight reduced.

can you send me a source of big list or tell me way i can know all of them ?
Start by looking on the gambling secion of this forum almost all btc casino/dice website are posted there, just compile them one by one and you can find most info on each and every thread. Moving this thread into there would probably help as well. |

Why don't you mention Internet domain names - those are virtual real estate.
And then there are fiat bank deposits. Those have no asset backing whatsoever. At least Bitcoin has a PoW asset backing, but that is a difficult concept for many to understand.

The interesting use for Bitcoin is as a tradeable reserve currency. I suspect that this is where the future lies for Bitcoin. The UK has a £100 solid gold coin that is legal tender, but how many shops will accept it, or even know of its existence. In fact it's current asset value is getting on for £1,000, so it is unlikely to be used for normal retail transactions.

I have a simplistic approach to things. If you aren't using core, then you are effectively using a banking service, and one of the advantages of Bitcoin is that it cuts out banks in its pure form.

Just ignore any thread that has more than about 50 replies ( unless you've been active in it of course).

What do we gain from sig spammers promoting gambling sites?
I have this vision of the posters sitting at their computers adding another hundred useless posts to a thread that already has getting on for a thousand replies, and then, when the get their sig payment, they are onto the gambling sites to lose it all. Is that the image we wnat for Bitcoin?

I've just tried to register FiatCoin.com, but somebody has beaten me to it.
I thought I could use it to wite about how to get free fiat currency like the virtual dollar or vitual Sterling. Free money seems to be the main reason people are attracted to Bitcoin. I'm ambivalent as to whether Bitcoin is vitual "gold" or virtual currency at the moment, but either way, you have to work to accumulate it.

Ponzi schemes based on Bitcoin just debase the credibility of Bitcoin imho. Now that Bitcoin is maturing, wouldn't it be easier just to delete ponzi threads and signatures.

Fiat bank deposits are virtual currency with no asset or other backing. At least Bitcoin has the backing of the crypto PoW.

Isn't it amazing. They openly give money and weapons to terrorists. They open their borders to terrorists, and then give them homes and other benefits.
And then they want to try to stop the guy who is working over here, and wants to send a bit of cash home to help his family buy food.

Well thanks for thart clarification Lauda. Am I the only one that likes the nice clean lines of the current board? I probably keep the screen brightness fairly low, but as I seem to spend most of my time on a notebook, that's good for battery life.
