982  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Civilian Blockchain Internet Drones? Has this been done before? on: November 22, 2017, 04:41:23 AM
Beaming Internet with Drones?

Idea like Launching 100 Drones from point A and landing at B, another 100 Drones take off from B, continue beaming Internet & land at point C, another 100 Drones take off from C, continue beaming Internet land at D. This goes and on. ..
Meanwhile, Drones immediately start charging by humans as they land. They are quickly positioned for take off after fully charged.

Their data will be hosted on Blockchain and their Control Center may be managed by humans through Blockchain.

Wonder if this has been done before? Will be great to see some ICOs lunched for this by anyone for just Cryptocurrency community.





✴Idea inspiration is from YouTube and a US company.

Pardon me for playing the devil's advocate.  But I dont think you will be needing a blockchain for keeping and storing all the data. Wont a database, centrally maintained and secured, be more cost-effective for that?

Unless your definition of a blockchain is different from mine.

It is mega fraud and somehow idiotic,after reading about his banks on in Panama one tigny one in Poland i can say it will blow up,if any scrutinity will look at that thay have to shutdown Bitfinex

Even NY Times wrote article about Bitffinex/Tether https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/21/technology/bitcoin-bitfinex-tether.html?_r=0

I cant wait for the next report that warns everyone who are not into BTC to stay away from it, "because it will be hacked one day".

I assume some mainstream news agencies dont know the difference between a hacked exchange and a hacking of BTC, which is impossible to do.
984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Tether was hacked by the same person who hacked Bitstamp in 2015 on: November 22, 2017, 01:41:45 AM
Here's some compelling evidences that Tether was hacked by the same person, or a group, who also stole from Bitstamp and Huobi on 2015. I am reading through the thread now, but it's already making me consider that the hacks might have been done with the help of employees and people who have access to inside information.

One of the good looking charts I have seen is in tradingview.com. Most of the bloggers that share their analysis online use it.

There's also a social media functionality that can make you interact with other users in the site by commenting on their posts and sharing your own analysis. It's a very nifty tool if you're an active trader.
987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warren Buffet: The Idea that Bitcoin has Value “Is Just a Joke” on: November 21, 2017, 01:27:34 AM
In his latest visit to his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, where he hosts a casual event for business students, one of the attendees asked Warren Buffett a question about Bitcoin. As a clarification, Buffett went on to say that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are “a very effective way of transmitting money, and you can do it anonymously and all that”, but it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things: “A check is a way of transmitting money, too.

Are checks worth a whole lot of money just because they can transmit money?”. He finished his statement with a harsher criticism of Bitcoin, saying that the “idea that [it] has some huge intrinsic value is just a joke, in my view”.


The fact that he's trying to compare BTC with a check in value transmission actually shows his ignorance when it comes to the technology behind cryptocurrencies. In the grand scheme of things, it's really the system behind the check that's becoming irrelevant. It's inefficient and it's costly in its own way.

Doesn't he also see that banks are starting to do R&D on distributed ledgers?

He's old but I hope he'll have enough time to think deeply about BTC and have his own aha moment.

Is it mean that only quoted users are accepted, and the rest can just move on?

Yeah, sorry for the confusion, it's late here

Hey aTriz. Can we apply again if there are slots still available though?

I used to be with you in the Pundix campaign before it was paused. I was hoping I can join one of your per post campaigns again. Its less demanding.

I dont mean reapplying now, I mean in the weeks after.

Go ahead. Wait a week or 2 while improving your post quality and you can re-apply.

Alright aTriz, ty.

992  Economy / Economics / Re: Uruguay to Launch Digital Currency, “Not Bitcoin” it Stresses on: November 20, 2017, 04:00:03 AM
Then they also miss the point if they think they are doing that to prevent BTC's growth and adoption.

BTC is beyond any law and control. The sooner they accept that, the sooner they realize its true value.
993  Economy / Economics / Re: Uruguay to Launch Digital Currency, “Not Bitcoin” it Stresses on: November 20, 2017, 03:46:35 AM

Uruguay’s Central Bank (BCU) formally presented rollout of its pioneering digitization of the Uruguayan peso on 3 November 2017. Set now as a pilot program, the bank’s head was careful to remind it “is not a cryptocurrency such as bitcoins,” but “a currency that remains the responsibility of the BCU,”

https://news.bitcoin.com/uruguay-first-in-the-world-to-launch-digital-currency-not-bitcoin-it-stresses/

While this is not a project for decentralized currency, I think is great that a Central Bank has jumped into digital currencies.
One thing I believe it will happen is that i.e: merchants will need to adapt their POS systems to digital currency and probably allowing the co-existence of Cryptocurrencies and people getting used to it, I see this as a positive move,though. printing bills is expensive for Uruguay as it´s printed in Casa de la Moneda in Chile..

Uruguay has set the pace for many things throughout history in Southamerica (Women´s voting in the early 1900´s, universal health care, cannabis legalization, abortion legalization among other things). Very proud of my country Smiley

Quoting as proof that you really said this is great.

If you really have done your homework about BTC and other cryptocurrencies, nothing about a government issued currency is great.

If the Uruguayan government also thinks they can make a BTC replacement by having their currency in a centralized blockchain, then they too have missed the point. All it does is it kills their currency's fungibility.
994  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why cloud mining providers sell hash power instead of mining for themselves on: November 20, 2017, 02:27:32 AM
Pono, what cloudminers do is they pass some of the financial risk to their clients. In a way, it can be also viewed as hedging their bets, with you the customer as the hedge.

Mining BTC is a very competitive business, most miners would be lucky to breakeven after expenses.
995  Economy / Gambling / Re: FootballCoin - Champions League / Europa League !!! Fantasy Manager predictions on: November 20, 2017, 01:42:51 AM
I have some XFC I earned from a signature campaign I did months ago. But I cant withdraw it from your site, footballcoin.io, because there is no withdrawal panel.

Is there a way I can transfer and store them in my Counterparty wallet?
996  Other / Off-topic / Re: What will happen to cryptocurrency if there will be World War 3? on: November 19, 2017, 04:11:00 AM
Not sure if you are serious or not. But if the world of finance stops then money wont mean much. That would also include BTC.

Food, water and other items like batteries or cigarettes will become much more valuable. Paper money will also be valued more than BTC because you could wipe your ass with it, or you could burn it for cooking or warmth.

That will give Jaime Dimon the chance to say, I told you so.
997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Trading experts, what are your toughts on Burst? on: November 19, 2017, 04:00:54 AM
Bram Cohen, inventor of BitTorrent is launching a new coin that will compete with burst. Would not buy burst at this price.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/08/chia-network-cryptocurrency/



Chia is still a year away from release and from what I have been reading, it might be another ICO or there might be a for profit company behind its development just what like Zcash did. Lets wait for more official announcements before we start musing about another Proof of Capacity coin.

I also hope theres a charting expert who would be nice enough to make an analysis on Burst and would make a mid to long term forecast. Rico666's prediction of BTC.00001 to .BTC000025 by December will not happen from my perspective.

 
998  Economy / Services / Re: Swiss company or Foundation formation. FINMA licenses! on: November 18, 2017, 03:55:20 AM
They sell these in the forum now? Theres also ICO white paper writers available for $5 on fiver.com. Its very easy to do a token crowd fund these days. The hardest part is producing the code.
999  Economy / Economics / Re: How Eco friendly is our money and is there an alternative? on: November 18, 2017, 03:22:38 AM
Bitcoin is the future's money and in the future we will have more renewable energy disponible. It surely consumes a lot of energy, but that is the price of decentralization at this moment. As technology advances we can have more powerful energy sources that don't harm the nature and at same time we can have more developed machines that don't consume so much electricity.

Ecology is important, but we can't stop the progress because of it, to say the truth, the ecology benefits itself when we have progress in the world (that can harm the ecosystem for some time or not).

If you are waiting for all the world's power source to come from renewables, then you are not in luck. Thats more than 50 years away. Its more practical for the community to come to consensus to fork BTC to a new PoW algorithm.

Proof of Capacity could be a good replacement.
1000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Trading experts, what are your toughts on Burst? on: November 18, 2017, 02:34:46 AM

Apart from these rational considerations, I have a gut feeling that the markets will remain oblivious and emotional. Should FOMO kick in (and it will), BURST may experience one of the wildest rides in crypto history. Why? Because as soon as someone finds out that a coin offering more than Ethereum is worth in Satoshi what Ethereum is worth in Euro... Cheesy

It has been almost two months since you made this post and the price went down by 60% from BTC.00000200. Does your comment still hold true?

I like Burst but sometimes I think I made a mistake of buying it too early. Looking back, holding BTC is better.

Right now it is not possible to justify because their developments are not up to the mark and the value of Burst is completely in down trend. It is impossible to guess in the present situations. There are many coin being launched daily with proof of work but how far these coin can secure good reputation in the market no one knows.

The developers of the PoCC are doing a good job from what we have seen in all the weekly announcements on burstcoin.ist. The Burst platform is more stable than ever and there will be new features coming.

But there might be another rival group trying to keep the price down from my perspective. Could it be Burst Nation?
