841  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is there any RISK FREE way to invest your Bitcoins? on: March 26, 2015, 08:26:20 PM
Nothing is risk free , however you can minimise it by some knowledge . I would recommend you to invest in localbitcoins with a formula including bitstamp rate . You can copy that from top members.
How do you invest in localbitcoins ? If you mean by trading on there then thats not really investing as you will still have to put in a lot of work on it.
842  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Neteller now is using Bitpay to accept Bitcoin as deposit method - Big news! on: March 26, 2015, 08:23:46 PM
It is nice that Neteller doesn't charge a fees for now. But will it be the same even in the future ?
Or for now its only promotionally that they are not charging any fees for it.
843  Economy / Gambling / Re: Do you think you have a gamgling problem? Block the sites. on: March 26, 2015, 08:21:19 PM

Blocking sites won't be a solution for everyone.

There is an easier solution that will just take under 10 seconds, and you won't be able to play with those bitcoins.  Yes, send them all to me  Grin



btw, would anyone be interested in an escrow that just holds the funds for a fixed period and then releases it?
There was actually someone in the past who offered that service, but the problem was that there is always a risk of the escrow running away with the funds , and even if not, holding your funds with a third party isn't really a smart move. I would rather advice to make a paper wallet out of the funds and have a family member hold it for you for an extended time.
844  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you guess about he future of bitcoin? on: March 19, 2015, 09:15:53 PM
I doubt bitcoin will ever be stable due to the low amount being exchanged on the exchanges. There are never enough buy order to fill a large dump or sell orders to let people buy in large amounts without a pump. This will also be the case with almost every digital currency which might come up in the future .

Seems it has a lot of drawbacks right now. Might only be in the early stages. Things like taking 3 days to process a payment.
846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses on: March 19, 2015, 09:08:53 PM
Thieves probably use mixers, there are much smaller expenses to get hard to trace coins in return. For such a large amount like 130K BTC they will probably have to split in smaller batches before they send it to mixers, no mixer has big enough volume for the coins to be untraceable.

But, how can the thieves be sure that the mixer is not operated by, hacked by, or cooperating with the police?

While the cops may not care for the victims' losses, they must be verey interested in identifying any dark market operators.

Mixers like Bitmixer usually do the mixing in faster speeds. They could easily use a site to deposit coins to and withdraw directly to the mixer, leaving almost no evidence for the mixer to be able to track that fast.
There are also a lot of other ways they can mix and sell their coins.

I thought Tunisia had no terrorists or such groups claiming killings. I just visited Tunisia last year and it seemed like a peaceful place. Can't believe this happening.
Seems a lot of unexpected attacks have been happening in Africa this year.

nbt and nsr working for me.

is btc deposit working?

I think the deposits seem to be working fine as they have resumed trading. Its only the withdrawals which were taking time.
849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are no anonymous altcoins being widely utilized? on: March 16, 2015, 11:48:21 AM
I would say the main reason is that they are not required in every situation. for example, if I intend to remain anonymous for a transaction, then I would do so by using that currency , but I won't be really using it all the time. And the number of times they are required is less, as bitcoin already covers that gap for normal usage.

Are you talking about the bundle or the browser ?
I usually the Tor Browser and it works out of the box for me, with no settings need to be changed.
851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It it still that easy to make $$$$ with alts? on: March 15, 2015, 08:25:28 AM
I think its still the same like an year back for mining. As any new coins launched can easily be mined. But the competition is comparatively more than before and thats where the difficulty comes in.
852  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Business Model of new company 21 Inc predicted by Satoshi? on: March 15, 2015, 08:20:36 AM
Maybe it wasn't a prediction but the company founders looking at his posts and getting the idea from there to launch the company
853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I want to buy bitcoins using paypal balance on: March 14, 2015, 07:47:46 PM
Prepaid Bitcoin is the best place to buy bitcoin with Paypal. www.prepaidbitco.in
Is this site secure enough? Have you guys tested it? Because I wouldn't really trust anything paypal related. Bitcoin and paypal are just not good pair.

I don't think that site is secure enough. Someone with a brand new account posts that and logs off. Its points to a scam. Also, I couldn't find an ANN thread on it.
854  Economy / Speculation / Re: What kind of money have people here made trading? on: March 14, 2015, 04:07:57 PM
Not much, I used to do some day trading with altcoins, but it becomes hard to study them as they are very prone to manipulation.
As for bitcoin trading, it is decent, and I have made a good profit on it.
855  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I want to buy bitcoins using paypal balance on: March 14, 2015, 04:03:52 PM
Firstly Paypal and Escrow would not go side by side, as its simply not possible.
As for buying bitcoin with paypal, localbitcoin traders with good trust would be your best bet.

However to prevent reversible transactions, they might ask you for  identification and some kind of terms, which would not allow you to charge back incase you go for it.
856  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: escrow on: March 14, 2015, 04:01:47 PM
can somebody explain to me how a usual bitcoin escrow works?

or what to use, how to proceed in general?  would appreciate a lot!

You can also check out some escrow webistes, however doing it with trusted members is always better.
External sites like https://btcrow.com/ explain the process of escrow really well .

858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IBM Rumored to Be Developing Bitcoin Alternative on: March 14, 2015, 07:01:21 AM
For now wouldn't it be treated just like an altcoin ?
I doubt developing a new coin would be so famous unless it has something different to offer.  People would still stick to bitcoin.
859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's Edge - How will bitcoin fight off competitors? on: March 13, 2015, 11:06:45 AM
I don't really consider the rest of altcoins in competitors. There is no way a layman who knows about only bitcoin will be too willing to accept a new altcoin. However they have their own different world. They do promise things which are better in respect to bitcoins, but still bitcoin doesn't really have to fight them off.
860  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you really earn more money because you went to college? on: March 13, 2015, 11:00:59 AM
According to me the answer is yes but not in all cases. For example, you could have good programming skills and might not have gone to college. In that case you could still earn more with an idea or by building something. But overall on average its proven that going to college is what will give you the edge. Companies don't hire people who have not been to a college. Even going to a college adds to your resume.
