So I'm looking to start a couple of concurrency-based websites, so naturally one of my first questions was how to monetize them. I could use Adsense, but I want to be paid in cryptos for these projects, not USD (or any other usual currency).

In your guys experience, which network has given you the greatest ad revenue, while also giving proper flexibility in ad banner size, and so on? One that I'm heavily considering is Mellow Ads, but I notice that some sites actually use multiple ad networks for monetization. Some are even using a mix of Adsense, Mellow Ads, and others as well... At the same time, I don't want to have to deal with building a payout threshold on mulutiple accounts and preferably would want to stick with one...

Is Mellow my best place to start? Or is there another network you guys could suggest? Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

Hey all,i'm just curious.

Why we not made own bitcoin like on real world make 'fake money'?

If we make bitcoin like we make real money thats possible or not?

It seems that Preev.com does not work anymore or I am making a mistake??!! In my browser when I open it, it shows a message:
"Heroku | No such app
There is no app configured at that hostname.
Perhaps the app owner has renamed it, or you mistyped the URL."
Do others have similar problem? And can the cause be decreasing price of bitcoin?

My experience with buying bitcoin (BTC) started August the 7th. I was wandering if there's a way of securely purchasing bitcoins, I started searching on the net and I found that you can buy bitcoin directly from the Xapo website. At first I was a little bit skeptical but I tried to buy 10 USD anyway. I sent the wire transfer and I waited... Surprisingly yesterday ( 3 days after the wire transfer) I received 0.016-ish BTC on my wallet! So if you are wanting to buy some bitcoins I recommend purchasing them on Xapo.
Thanks.

   Did you saw this?

   Amazing commercial, I didn't saw nothing similar before. This is good way for promoting bitcoin and blockchain, we need more commercials like this for people who still didn't hear about blockchain. I like this commercial, and I shared it on my Facebook page right away, this is my little contribution for bitcoin community. I think everyone should do it!

What would be your advise to most Africans to Utilize Bitcoin.

I've been running a poll for some time now about the value of 1 bitcoin by 2020 and it's safe to say a lot of different opinions and guesses are made.
This poll completes the other one and i'm really looking forward to everyone's input in this.

Tnx for your input 

When Vladimir Putin became President, Russia was effectively bankrupt as it owed more money to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) than it had in foreign currency reserves. Since then, Russia has achieved a virtual macroeconomic revolution to the point where it is one of the largest creditors of U.S. debt in the world. Its nominal dollar GDP has increased by more than a factor of six, and has the potential to reach more than $2 trillion by 2010. Russia would become the largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world following the United States, China, Japan, and India by 2020 if goals would have been achieved.......

Just to make everyone aware, there are a few security risks presently affecting mobile devices that require people to be vigilant.

Firstly, there are still fake, malicious wallets circulating on the App Store, always make sure you use download links from a reputable source.

Secondly, some wallets are automatically backing up private keys to the cloud.  Keys stored online are potentially a serious security risk.  Make sure your apps aren't doing this, or if they have, move your funds to new addresses immediately.

It's generally good practice to only keep small amounts on portable devices in the event of physical loss or theft anyway.  Larger sums should be locked away in cold storage, offline, somewhere secure.

The recent economic events that have impacted the trade value of bitcoin are irrelevant. Brexit? New president? Halving? None of these events actually matter in determining the value of bitcoin since they are just headlines. The market cap of Bitcoin is only about $10 billion USD. That is as much money as a mid-level U.S. finance, insurance, or real estate company manages. In other words, bitcoin is not even on the financial map, which is actually a good thing!

Bitcoin needs a catalyst. That catalyst is you and me. So, we need to do two things:

1. Spend bitcoin: Holding bitcoin is an awesome passive investment strategy, especially for those who purchased sub $250. However, taking an active approach will help stabilize at $1000, which is honestly what everyone is looking forward to. If early adopters hold the majority of bitcoin then no one else can use it whether they want to or not. This means it would not be of value in the long term since there is no established barometer of what it could potentially be worth in exchange of consumer good and services. This leads us to the next point of getting late adopters to understand why and how to use bitcoin as a method of payment.

2. Educate others about bitcoin: When I explain bitcoin to friends and family I refer to it as "internet money". They ask, "Like Paypal?" and I say, "Very similar, but more like buying early shares of Apple or IBM because it appreciates at a higher rate than the dollar." This has been a useful conversation starter and influenced a few colleagues enough to at least open up a Coinbase account.

There is no need for more (or less) regulation as the status quo of decentralized currency is now a proven concept.

I remember in 2011 when you could watch ads that payed 0.01 btc each, i found them on this very forum and used to watch them all day from work. #GoodTimes

What do you remember from the early Bitcoin days? Share your memories here! 

People now a days who are so desperate of earning money. So some other are taking advantage to them.
Even me was victim of scammers.


You can you suggest how can I prevent from scammers..
Thanks..

I don't trust all these HYIP websites and I'm looking for a more reliable way to invest.
Any suggestions?

Few people know the real benefits of Bitcoin. If they don't have benefit, they will not use it.

I created this Facebook page to explain just that to the general public- the value Bitcoin will bring to them:

Feel free to like and share.

All ideas are accepted!

I suggest this page to be owned by the community and everyone having ideas for getting people engaged with Bitcoin to post them here

Post your ideas for memes and posts here.

Let's tell the people what they are missing

*In no way this page will ever be monetized!

This illegal exchanger (https://www.bitfinex.com/) is hacked.  120K BTC was stolen(aprox 60 mil USD) !

http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-shuts-down-customer-bitcoin-stolen/


It's so funny when they write "The theft is being reported to — and we are co-operating with — law enforcement."   What law enforcement when YOU are running an  illegal forex company(without licenses) ?!?!    

They are liars and morons and full of vanity(they know everything, they are beyond any problem, they are GODS)...This vanity brought down almost all the exchangers.

Human beings are already in its preparation stage to launch the trained astronauts to be sent to mars. This is a preparation for the purpose of making human colonies at Mars. On the other hand some corporations are targeting to mine some rare metals on asteroids.

Bitcoin as a virtual currency can be sent anywhere in the form of waves and frequencies passing through towers, cables or even in air. Bitcoin can be sent to space and it is possible. Maybe in the future when space colony will be established bitcoin is the potential legal tender.

Is it possible? What do you think?

So it seems the hacker rekcahxfb is offering to give away 1000BTC on reddit.

These funds have been stolen from individuals in the bitcoin community and not some faceless mega corp yet so far nearly 6000 people are more than happy to try their luck hoping to win the stolen cash.

From my point of view all those that signed up for it are just as bad as the scammers and it doesn't reflect well on the bitcoin community which is often viewed as a criminal entity by outside world at the best of times.

I also wonder what would be the legal ramifications for the person who wins it, I doubt they used a proxy so can be identified by I.P address, I dont think the police would be very understanding towards the person knowingly accepting $600k of stolen money.

Some friends and I are considering using a bitcoin ATM to do some online shopping. Would it be worth using a bitcoin ATM rather than just an internet exchange site?

What are some advantages and disadvantages to both? Any tips or anything I should know ahead of time before using an ATM?

Thanks in advance!
