9341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Millions of People Use Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2016, 03:55:36 AM
there are no exact figures of how many users bitcoin. but now more and more people are using bitcoin.
even many people who started to develop a variety of ways that could make bitcoin is increasingly recognized.
certainly we can not count the number of users bitcoin definitely but we can predict that the number of calculations. but nonetheless it was only as an illustration of the calculation instead of the original number, yeah I agree that bitcoin users continues to grow each time. I hope it will develop quickly

No one could really give the precise  numbers of people who already engaged  to bitcoin. And also  lots of people  uses  too many  addresses  which would really give   a hard time    to the exact number  and  also  i choose  2 million  people  or less  are   engage to bitcoin but  for sure it would increase its  number  because adoption is  still growing.

It happened to me when all my earnings from sportsbet got loss in one day playing dice. I earn almost .04 btc don't know but it's all my earnings from betting in sportsbet and for just one day everything was loss because of the martiagale system got 13 straight losing steak left me nothing.

Martingale system does not promise you a sure win. It is just reducing the house edge by a little but you are still at the disadvantage. Losing 13 straight streak is common if you play for long time. There are even cases of 20-25 straight lose streak.
Agree with this martingale  wont really work  on the long run, as you mentioned   20-25 is true  and also  i suffered max lossing  streak on  30x and would really wreck your  bank roll even how  big it is. Martingale would surely  wipe  it out because as we all know  we cant really beat the  house on the long run.
9343  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin replaces the money? Could happen? on: October 17, 2016, 02:45:06 AM
Bitcoin is a strong currencie and an amazing way to purchase anything online, but lets be realistic fiat does control the world, almost all transactions are made with fiat and bitcoin will never replace it, the worse cenario that might happen is  fiat improve to digital and stop being printed money.
I like paper money will not give up because there is no opportunity to work with bitcoin. This is the same if there were no where and what to buy.

There is a lot of opportunity to work with bitcoin you just need to be a hard working person and you just manage to use your time properly.

But the fact that bitcoin is going to replace paper money then I don't think that is going to happen easily as that is going to need a lot of time to happen.

Maybe that is possible to happen for the next 10-20 years or else it won't happen.


In next 10-20 years as you expected wont really happen  even in our lifetime hence bitcoin couldnt  replace  fiat anytime soon no matter how bitcoin  would fly to its wings  on the future. Fiat  is commonly used  by people and already well established and theres  no thing that could replace it easily.
9344  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $6000 and Top Altcoins at $600? on: October 17, 2016, 02:43:22 AM
In the past when bitcoin were getting pumped, litecoin were getting pumped even further. Now litecoin just watches. It is nice to see that it doesn't go below 3.5$ though.

ltc is really, really, really weird to me. we're told the Chinese love it, tons of people are mining it, pumps are going off all over the place, yet the alt daddy does absolutely nothing at all. I find this incredible. maybe it intends to do nothing until all the others are exhausted and then it'll spread its wings.

I do see the same thing to in LTC which is  really weird  and  its already 5 years as of now  but  the price is still low for me  but its still included on the top alts that do exist today and i  observe too that ltc dont  manage to  publicize its coin and just  operate as  long they are here in crypto world. Back to topic bitcoins price speculation on that price point is too unrealistic to consider.
9345  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Ebay/Paypal's ridiculous fees on: October 17, 2016, 02:37:14 AM
We shouldn't be using ebay cause ebay prices of fee are just way too high you can just use dark marketplaces instead.
Atleast on there you can also accept bitcoin it's just a bit shady with criminals etc.

This is the worst advice i had see around here, soo you wanna people to be criminal and act as one, people can go jail doing such, using bitcoin isnt a problem use and support dark marketplaces might become a problem, really dont follow this sugestion better keep with high fees.

Haha I don't know what I feels when I read his suggestion and its funny to say that you are going to point your fingers to someone that wants to have good transactions and legal and pointing them out to the illegal ones and unsafe marketplace. For we all know dark marketplaces has a lot of scammers and untrusted people.

Its  his  perception to  point someone  on  using  darknet instead of ebay. Haha.  In  my own choice i would rather  to suffer  on  huge  fees rather than to  go on those darkmarket places  just to spend  my bitcoin on their which isnt ideal  thing to do at all. As you said  those  marketplaces  have  lots of scammers and  other illegal acts  involve thats why we need to be extra careful to engage  if we  dont  like to end  up  on jail.
Some weeks ago i read some reddit post that were left from some sellers from dark marketplaces, those were professional and making around 150-300 k dollars profit yearly, sure the scammers are present at all places, there is no way to control or stop them. But all know that use a dark marketplace will lead into jail, because supporting such activity is ilegal.

Those sellers are just risking theirselves  to make  good money and  they  make it as  a living for sure hence they could able  to generate good income. Scammers  do really exist even  not  in  darkplaces but illegal activities are rampant there. GOvernment would  really have a hard time to  track those  sellers. Ebay and  paypal fees are ridiculous  though.
9346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Ask The Doctor" Adds Bitcoin to Payment Options on: October 17, 2016, 02:31:58 AM
Ask The Doctor, a Canadian medical startup has officially announced that they are now accepting Bitcoin on their platform to pay for their services through BitPay. The main reason for this is to increase customer privacy using Bitcoin’s anonymity benefits that credit cards cannot offer.

Here is the source : https://cointelegraph.com/news/online-platform-ask-the-doctor-adds-bitcoin-to-payment-options-to-protect-privacy

It's being sometime since I last read about a new service accepting Bitcoin (probably since Steam started accepting it) , glad to know that there is more services that still does that and hopefully more to come !
This is a really good news mate,  which  bitcoin already been  accepted on  medical field. It may not available all over  countries but  for sure it would  spread this  kind  of service though which  doctors already accepts  bitcoin payments. Hope it would   be available worldwide.

once you bitcoins send to a wrong address , or at any scam site, they can not be refunded . and you cant do shit about it...
so always be extra carefull, welcome to cryptoland

Agree,  bitcoin transfers are  not irreversible which mean we should be  careful on sending bitcoin because  you would definitely lost it if you  send it to a wrong address.
If i lose  my bitcoin, i would  just think  that i use it to some   things and dont  mind that i lost  those bitcoins and  just move on.

9349  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC to $100, when? on: October 16, 2016, 02:27:54 AM
ETC/ ETH were the hot topic for a minute, but people are starting to lose interest.
What has happened since ETH got accepted by Coinbase?
Not much. Just a lot of arguing, attacks and a slight drop in price.
Are people moving on to the next thing or will either of these coins actually stick around?

In short people dont  find an extraordinary thing to ETH/ETC  which exist on bitcoin in my own  opinion and also people  dont  like those  constant attacks and issues that happen on  it thats why its popularity  decreases and also the  interest of people .
9350  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: want to start a alcoin , any engineer here ? on: October 16, 2016, 02:24:37 AM
Before starting an altcoin, I hope the OP at least has some basic understanding of how it all works. The OP may need to take over, in case the development team (s)he hires decides to go AWOL.

Agree with this , if yo-u decided  to create an altcoin you must  really know the  fundamentals of it and  other  things related into it for you to have  knowledge about  on the altcoin  who you plan to made. Others saidalready you could already create altcoin on smaller  amounts  below 20btc is overkill.
9351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where should i invest my 285$ on: October 15, 2016, 12:00:35 PM
I would like to invest 0.45 BTC in ETH but i don't know if it is the best investment.
I want a good investment for 1-2 years.

for 1-2 years you should only keep it in bitcoin. because altcoins are not good for long term.

also don't think eth is a good investment especially these days. the price is so high in a bubble and it will come down soon because there are attacks and talk of a fork.

another good altcoin is litecoin which you should always think about.

i will give same suggestion too because i think the price of bitcoin will be up too high than todays and if we buy some of bitcoins even for just few satoshi, we can get more money when the price is really up in future.

Buying  bitcoin on that  amount would  not be bad at all but  you would not  feel the profit when  bitcoin price would  increase. For me  if you have  knowledge on trading    its better to give a try  on this  field  because  it would somehow give you profits or even grow your money  in no time.
9352  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: Invest and Make 2% - 12% Profit Every Week on: October 15, 2016, 11:53:43 AM
Another day , another  ponzi site again and  i read this  almost new users  post  the same thing  about on this  ponzi site which is really a total scam on the end and profit returns are too good to be true since theres  no  online investments could  do that on a short period  of time.
9353  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me a secret: any way to earn 0.1 BTC per week? on: October 15, 2016, 11:48:07 AM
pretty easy for me to get 0.1 in a week. I get 0.035/week from the signature campaign, then I also do trading and it was really easy to get 0.065/week. even if I was lucky, can get 0.1 in a short period of trading altcoin.
Well its really easy for you especially for  veteran users of bitcoin and  do have  lots  of knowledge on  both trading  ,signature campaigns, freelance works. And with these you would   earn 0.1 in a short period of time   but there are  still users of people  do have  a hard time  on achieving  this especially on newbies.
9354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC to $100, when? on: October 15, 2016, 11:44:31 AM
Not ETH but ETC will see $100.
question is when?

as the guys mentioned above theres  really a time for that  and we wont  know when  it would reach that  price amount  and for sure it would really need  adoption  or users  in able to rise  that  on that amount  but  ETH would  x400  on that time.
9355  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: October 15, 2016, 11:38:41 AM
I don't believe you can really have some profits with a low amount by trading.

I think you should set yourself a minimum of at least 200$ if you want to see some profits.

So if you did a great trade and you are at 5% profit, this profit will be 10$ which is a nice amount, but if you start with 20$ for example, and you earn that 5%, your total profit will be around 1$.


I wish you good luck at trading, and take in your mind that it has a lot of risk.



He is a newbie in trading so starting small is good for him. He can test his skills with small amount and he can know if he will do good in trading without risking too much money. He can continue to trade small until he is confident with his skills.

Its really better to start up trading  only on small amounts  especially when you are just a newbie   because if you directly risk  big  money without any knowledge  on  trading then for sure your money would be gone easily hence   trading isnt easy at all and you are risking your  money thats  why it really needs   knowledge.

9357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: [RaiBlocks] RaiBlocks trading thread on: October 14, 2016, 02:14:31 AM
When i try to open website with faucet: https://raiblocks.net/#/distribution
my browser show me that connection is not safe..

Can anyone check what is wrong with this website? I don't have good anivir protection..

SSL Sertificate expired. Dev renew domain, but not sertificate

Thanks for checking this!

This is just next confirmation that this project just collapse.

I'm sorry to all who kept RaiBlocks with hope that it will be next Ethereum.. was close..

Good idea! Poor performing! Sh1t happens.. Next time will be better! Wink

IM thinking the same thing too when  raiblocks  exist hence there are lots of people  do make  money with this  project and  suddenly  it collapse and the wallet  have   disconnected. Im wondering  now  whos  holding  huge amounts  of Raiblocks as  of now  they would  surely have regretting as of now. Well as you said sh*t really happen sometimes Smiley
9358  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Expected price of ICONOMI? on: October 14, 2016, 02:09:28 AM
I think the price won't go up rapidly, ICONOMI has more than 3500 investors but a few of them hold most of the tokens, those can decide the price in the beginning, by the time the price will increase. Some holders can't wait, they are complaining about the launch delay, those will sell immediately, I feel the price will bump in November or December.

This is  just  normal especially to those  bounty hunters and  other   investors would surely dell of their  coins when it launches  to  a reputable exchange site and  for sure   when it launches the price is  quite high  in  my own view and suddenly dip  because  of  dumpers but for sure  it would rise  again.
9359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the average life of a mining rig? on: October 14, 2016, 01:37:31 AM
The lifespan of the graphics cards can actually be longer than in a gamer PC if they are in constant environment and at constant operating temperatures.

Only the fans can wear faster because of continous operation.


You are right about this but its pretty hard to do this because the most miners are bad cooled and due to that do not life long to be honest.
Only the big miner company's with real fans and cooling chambers can really accomplish this.

If you do have  budget on investing on a proper ventilation or  cooling system then you should do it  in able to last  even more on your miners. But  in my situation   , fans are  the first to worn out   for about 2 years depends on what % did you set out if the  ventilation is  good then you could lessen fan speed.
