In fact you could do a contest on the platform itself, with a prize in the form of VSM, where users would vote for their favorite artist. Each candidate could promote himself/herself through social networks with which the platform would be better known to people.

This is very useful for people who work in foreign countries and want to send money to their families in their countries of origin. With a fiat-bitcoin, bitcoin-fiat conversion, the process can be made very easily and cheaper.

Given the relevance of the activation of Segwit in Litecoin and the importance it will have in the bitcoin scalability debate, Is it possible that someone has been creating a huge bag of Litecoin to sell them now and throw prices down the floors and thus proclaim the alleged failure of Segwit?

The interesting thing is that there is a real demand behind this scale and this demand will keep existing in next weeks. Sure there will be some corrections, dips and all the stuff but I wouldn´t be surprised if this rise lasted a few more days.

There is a thread where we talk about the possibility of advertising bitcoin, well, this news are publicitiy of bitcoin and good publicity. In their facebook they say that it will be an ecological building that will be sold in bitcoin and also announce that its CEO will grant an interview to the RAI that is the public television of Italy, hard to have best promotion.

Have contacts started with Jimmy Wales for this partnership? The Wikitribune platform is an interesting idea that resembles the workings of some digital newspapers today. More and more media are being financed through the subscriptions of its readers, in this way these newspapers are independent of the power of the big corporations and the big companies that through the purchase of publicity in the media influence in the editorial line. I think if this partnership materializes it would be really positive for Decent.

If you calculate fees in fiat they will be higher as price keeps ascending, it´s better to see the fees in btc. It´s true that even calculating fees in btc they are higher than before because there are more transactions and there is the spam too. It would be interesting to know who sends those spam transactions by the way.

I think the ICO can be described as a great success. A million and a half dollars is a huge number, it is true that the bitcoin price has risen a lot but even if it was $ 1000 dollars we would still be talking about an investment of 858000 dollars. With a week still to go by the end of the ICO, it´s clear the success and the fact that the liquidity pool will have great maneuvering and investment capacity, which can help to have greater benefits when it starts to work.

Japan is a giant market for bitcoin because its population and because it´s a technology friendly country. As a example you can see some concerts in youtube recorded with smartphones that sound better than profesional recordings. Furthermore there is another little detail, the bitcon creator´s name is Satoshi Nakamoto, it sounds like a Japanese name, a small detail that, through identification, can create more sympathy for bitcoin in the country.

Bitcoin above $2000 at South Korea exchanges, $1799 acording Coinmarketcap, 1729 at Bitstamp. Adoption growing, more money in the markets and traders selling altcoins to invest profits into Bitcoin. And all this with the scalability debate still pending. Bitcoin is still in a good upward trend.

Hi, I would like to stake my address here.

It must be the effect of Bitcoin's recognition as a means of payment in Japan. There is a great movement now in the country, there is talk of 260000 stores that will accept bitcoin, the creation of a lot of exchange houses, even a banking group, SBI Holdings, will open one, and this must be generating a very high demand for cryptos and that´s why this large amount of liquidity is entering the markets.

I think the goal with a cashless society is not the saving in the issue of money but the control. Each transaction with physical money from hand to hand is a transaction that governments don´t control and therefore can not tax. What they want is that there is no such physical money and that all money transfers are registered and controlled, that's why they are so interested in the blockchain (their blockchain). Governments see this as a tool to fight against tax evasion or black money.

Maybe the banks have told them to take this measure as a condition to return to work with them. It´s a good sign that they continue to take steps to solve their problems. Besides, if they had wanted to cheat their clients they would have closed and fled with the money long ago.

It´s incomprehensible the statement of Viabtc after the survey of yesterday. Why do a survey if you ignore the results afterwards? Or they don´t want to admit so fast they were wrong before? The centralization of Bitcoin that some miners are looking for lead us to the same old point, selfishness and avarice. However here the miners are ignoring the power of the community. What if one day bitcoin users would feel tired and disgusted and decide to move to another coin? What would happen if they decided to sell all their coins and say goodbye to Bitcoin? Would these miners feel happy about mining a worthless coin singing "Hashpower is the law"? In the end, the miners, although necessary, are replaceable, the community of users, not so much.

That message means that they already have covered the maximum amount of transactions the can include in the next block, so they don´t accept more at that moment. On the other hand I find it unusual that the transaction is pending for seven days without being rejected and the funds returned back.

I think it can be a good idea, ETH tokens are very popular now and this can be a change that gives a new impetus to VTY. My question is, if you have your VTY coins in an exchange, for example Alcurex, do you have to withdraw the coins before the swap or your coins will be swapped in the exchange?

You can use some trick to hide the passphrase words within a larger text. For example, you can write a poem where each line starts with a passphrase word or you can write a text and place every five words, a word of the passphrase.

As far as I know Bitcoin ATMs don´t work like that. The mechanism is simpler, the machine shows you a QR addres that you scan with your device, you send the coins to that address and the ATM gives you the money. If you want to buy bitoin the ATM scans you QR address on you device, you put the money into de ATM and the system sends you the coins.

All those articles about bitcoin's death are more a wishful thinking than anything else and the truth is that every time bitcoin dies it comes back later stronger than before, like the Hydra of Lerna, that when someone decapitated one of its heads , regenerated two new heads. Meanwhile, Bitcoin stays stable at a very good price around $1540, it will be interesting to see what happens when the "altcoin pump game" ends.
