9101  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-24] Chinese Bitcoin Miners Feel Regulatory Heat on: September 26, 2017, 12:46:55 AM
There are other rumors that the threats on bitcoin done by the Chinese government are only temporary because there is the Communist Party convention coming next month. China might be making an effort to show to international agencies and their own party members that they are still in control of the financial system.

9102  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-24] Malaysia’s Legalization of BTC Could Bring Millions of New Users on: September 26, 2017, 12:35:40 AM
How could bitcoin regulations bring millions of new users from Malaysia? Unregulated bitcoin should have brought in millions of Malaysian users anyway if the interest was there. If there is something with these regulations, it is to control and limit bitcoin's accessibility to the common people.

The reason there can be an uptick of users and maybe also traders for Bitcoin if the country (in this case Malaysia) would formally recognize Bitcoin is the fact that people would not anymore be afraid to be a part of a platform they see as lucrative like Bitcoin. We are talking of money here and if anyone feels that what they are doing can be risky because anytime the government can be at their back, then do you think people would join Bitcoin by big numbers? I don't think so.


I disagree with you. Since when did bitcoin's status as an unregulated currency deter everyone of us in the cryptospace from buying it, holding it, selling it and trading it with altcoins and all the other crazy things we do with it?

In Malaysia there was simply no interest in it. Compare that with China which has a more tyrannical government. The people in China are more bitcoin crazy than most countries because the interest is there. Regulations and bans will stifle that.

@jibrelnetwork. In a scenario that there is increasing demand for the financial assets you issue, but some of those potential investors do not want to be in anyway be using the Ethereum platform, are you willing to use another platform to fill the demand?

@yugyug. If Kevin Lee only shoots double legs then another good side bet would be a Tony victory by submission. He has good timing on his d'arce choke and he has won many of his fights with it. He is also known for it I reckon.

@smooth. I hope you still check this thread because I have some good news from the mobile phone space that might be of interest to you and Aeon.

Gnome has partnered with Purism on the Librem 5 Linux based privacy focused smartphone. This might open an opportunity for Aeon to finally have a mobile platform to run nodes on, and maybe also mining in them.

9107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / After Piratebay it is Safebrowse on: September 25, 2017, 01:33:28 AM
Spoetnik reported Piratebay's dirty tactic in mining some free Monero at the expense of their users' hardware and electricity last week. It has opened everyone's eyes about the possibility that other websites or services might also use this exploit.

There is another one today in the form of a Chrome extension called Safebrowse, and this is the statement released from their team.

Unfortunately we have no knowledge, apparently has been a hack. I'm currently researching, I have already contacted the Google team. The extension has not received an update for months, so I do not know what it's all about.

But how do we know that they are not lying?



The authors of SafeBrowse, a Chrome extension with more than 140,000 users, have embedded a JavaScript library in the extension's code that mines for the Monero cryptocurrency using users' computers and without getting their consent.

The additional code drives CPU usage through the roof, making users computers sluggish and hard to use.

SafeBrowse uses same technology tested by The Pirate Bay
The intrusive and highly damaging behavior was noticed almost immediately, as the extension's Web Store page has filled up in the past few hours with negative reviews decrying the surge in CPU resource usage.

9108  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-9-22] BREAKING: Amazon Will Accept Bitcoin By October on: September 24, 2017, 02:44:16 AM
Rumors. If that was true then we should see bitcoin shoot to $10,000 right now. I also speculate that big companies like Amazon will only accept bitcoin if it was a regulated currency, and that is the problem right now. Some might follow China in banning it.
9109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: September 24, 2017, 02:29:51 AM
The Bittrex pumper is back again on Bittex. He might be the same trader who has been placing the thousand Aeon buy orders on HitBTC. With him around it has been hard to get Aeons at limit orders. So buy now at the present prices, I predict a very large price climb soon and we will not see it go back.
9110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto market Dull - Are we waiting for Sep30 on: September 24, 2017, 12:20:53 AM
@samy_voc. The cryptocoin community has already assumed the worst. Whatever the decision is, it will have a positive outcome on the market. If China says a full ban, then good. We can move on without them. If
they say that regulation is needed, then also good, they have declared that it can be a legitimate form of investment.
9111  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how many ICOs have you joined ? on: September 23, 2017, 01:50:23 AM
I reckon many ICO investors here have made a very good sum of bitcoins over the 3 years of no governent warnings. Maybe we should have followed the money instead of listening to the negative comments.

Hello. Are you open to the idea of accepting new altcoins? That might be a good business move for you to increase the amount of people gambling in your site. Cryptogames and Bitsler are 2 good gambling sites that have used this strategy, I reckon.
9113  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-22] Governments will close down cryptocurrencies if they get too big on: September 23, 2017, 01:22:55 AM
If there was a time to start spreading the word about bitcoin, it is now. If you have techie friends or know someone with a background in computer science and IT, educate them about bitcoin before it is too late.

Any government cannot stop bitcoin transactions like it cannot stop the millions of movie downloads everyday.
9114  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-22] Investor Doug Casey: Bitcoin May Be Money, But It Still Might Fail on: September 23, 2017, 01:13:19 AM
He mentioned that he doubts bitcoin will be here 5 years from now. He made a big mistake by giving it a short timeline. What makes bitcoin valuable are the holders and the users supporting it. Is he trying to convince us that the people's support will go away within 5 years?

9115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AEON [2017-04-23: update to 0.9.12.0] on: September 22, 2017, 02:10:29 AM
As teknohog said, use HitBTC if you want you are a miner and if want to sell all your Aeons. The buy orders over there are now high enough if you want to sell thousands of Aeons. Before that market was only good to sell a few hundred Aeons.

9116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 216: Ferguson vs Lee Info and Prediction Thread on: September 22, 2017, 02:02:41 AM
So finally we are going to see Johnson vs Borg. And D. Johnson is aiming for a record 11th title defense. However, I don't see anything that Borg can offer against Johnson. The champion has successful defended his title that he has shown a lot of fighter and can readily adjust to them. Easy pick here. But as far as the main event is concern. I still think the Kevin Lee can beat Tony Ferguson, if he was able to grapple and take Tony down. That's the best strategy to beat a massive LW like Tony. Take him and wear him down.

It would not be easy for Kevin Lee to take Tony down. He has an 81% in takedown defense and he is one of he most durable fighters in the UFC.  Grapplers also fell victim to his d'arce choke in some of his fights.

Tony will win and I reckon he will go after Conor next.
9117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is cloudbet legit? on: September 22, 2017, 01:51:17 AM
Yes, you can trust them. They have been around for a very long time in the bitcoin gambling business.

There are always user complaing. For example, when they have lost, or when they have to wait for a long time for a withdrawal.

If there were any major issues, you would have read about that in their thread.

Yes but Cloudbet has more complaints than the other gambling sites like Nitrogensports. There have been gamblers who used that site that have not been paid yet.



9118  Bitcoin / Press / [2017-09-22] Prominent Bitcoin Trader: Price is Heading Towards $100,000 in 2018 on: September 22, 2017, 01:43:09 AM
It is now very hard to believe in what comes out of a bitcoin maximalist's mouth like Tony Vays. I am not saying he is a lying fraud but he has made bold predictions in the past that did not occur.

He predicted that bitcoin cash will go down to $1.00, he also predicted that ETH will crash. Is he spreading FUD on altcoins and hyping bitcoin at the same time? His emotions and attachment towards bitcoin must be muddling his logic.



The analysis of Vays demonstrated the potential of bitcoin price to surpass the $100,000 mark by the end of 2018, which would provide bitcoin a multi-trillion dollar market cap. For many years, financial analysts and researchers in both the cryptocurrency and banking sectors such as RT’s Keiser Report host Max Keiser emphasized the possibility of bitcoin to surpass $1 trillion in market cap if and when it succeeds in evolving into an alternative financial network against existing banking systems and financial institutions.

@TheBitcoinBadger. Nice blog, thank you for sharing. I also share his thoughts on Segwit2x. We do not need another hardfork and the risk it produces. The bad part about Segwit2x is that there is no replay protection. What is their development team trying to do? What if I do not want to send Segwit2x coins in case of a blockchain split?

@Kemarit. After the boxing match versus Floyd Mayweather, Conor will fight Khabib in Russia. Let us hope the negotiations with Conor's agents will be free of problems so that it can happen on December. That would be a nice christmas gift from Dana White and the UFC.
