1  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin users should be humanitarian for Palestinians. on: April 26, 2024, 12:51:55 PM
The problem is this is a political discussion and divisive language is being used here, in what should be a Bitcoin forum. For example, while I agree that the whole Israel/Palestine situation is terrible, I do not agree with your accusations against Israel of "genocide". It is not a genocide, it is a war. But it is a war where one side, Israel, is much more powerful than the other. The war will not end until Hamas returns the hostages and surrenders. The Palestinian people suffer because of Hamas, not because of Israel.

Why bring this discussion here? I know you and I will never agree on this topic and I don't expect anyone here to change their opinions based on a few forum posts. The whole discussion is futile.

segwit is fast and transaction fees are lower
Sending using a segwit address is no faster (nor slower) than using a legacy address.  It should be a little cheaper, though.  That said, at the time of writing this reply you could get away with sending BTC for under 10c if you wanted to, even using a legacy address.  The mempool is emptying.

This was my first time trading on Livecoin and it is not encouraging me to use this exchange again.  I transferred some Crypto to Livecoin and it arrived fine.  I did a few trades - that was all ok.

But I am now waiting for my withdrawal of Litecoin for over 2 days!  I traded this because I needed the money to pay a bill.  I expected the transfer to happen within minutes, like on most exchanges.  But 2 days!  That's way too long.  LTC has gone down around 15-20% in that time, too!  For the whole time the status of the withdrawal under "Pending Transactions" is "in progress".

Is there someone from Litecoin here who can find out what is going on before I start bombarding all forms of social media with negative comments about Livecoin?  My user ID is HereIam.

In the meantime, if anyone new to Livecoin is reading this then be very wary about using this exchange.  I'll post an update when/if I finally get my LTC.
Just an update.  Support finally cancelled the transaction, so I got to resend it and it went through okay the next time.

" I traded this because I needed the money to pay a bill" Really ? What about : Invest only what you can afford to loose...
Unhelpful and useless post.

What about: Don’t be a dickhead!

And it’s “lose”, not “loose”.

Face it guys. This is a shit project. It always was. A crappy template website, a single developer who lied about having a team (edited photos he stole from the web and slapped on some fake names), a dev who calls himself Lambo (really?? Not a red flag?), etc.

Why does a project like this even need a crypto token? This is a centralised project and could do just as well (outer just as badly)  if run through a central server with no crypto.

I don't understand why some of you so blindly believe this project will "moon". I'm pissed off that I was stupid enough to invest $40 in this, when it always felt kinds of scammy.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I honestly believe this is the shittest coin I've ever bought.

Averaged my Ico purchase at the current cheap rates.

You put more money into this??? 😱😳😳

You know what!! This project sucks. I can just go to any starbucks and get free wifi. I bet this wifi's are gonna be slow anyway. Nobody pays for wifi these days. This is not the 2000's. Free wifi is everywhere.  At first I thought it was a good idea but later figured, even the bus's have wifi.  If there is no Wifi, people buy cellular data in phone.
Unfortunately I agree with you. I've always thought this project was doomed at best, or a scam at worst. Ever since I put a little money into it I was asking myself "why?" 😂 Then, when it turned out the whole team was bullshit and didn't even exist I had the opportunity to get my money back, but it wasn't much so I decided to stay in it. I feel really sorry for anyone who's invested a lot in this and I hope I am wrong and that it does go somewhere. But I know I worked not open my wifi network to stranger and I think a lot of other people would feel the same way. It always felt shady because the dude's name is Lambo 😂
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you still use Bitcoin if it stabilised at around USD$5000? on: October 06, 2017, 11:55:00 AM
Lots of interesting responses to my original question here!  Obviously, it was a purely theoretical question, since none of us believe the price will stabilize, and I'm sure it's not long before BTC is back over USD$5000.

But I find it interesting that a lot of people like to brag about how Bitcoin is this fantastic, decentralized currency of the future, yet to a lot of you who posted here that doesn't really seem to be an important factor at all - the main reason you are into Bitcoin is as an investment.  Nothing wrong with that, BTW.

If the price of Bitcoin theoretically stabilized (at whatever value), it should make it a better currency, but not really an investment.   If you're into Bitcoin for political or ideological reasons then the price stabilizing would not be an issue.  Personally, if I knew for a fact that Bitcoin were going to be stable, I'd move most of my spare money into Bitcoin because of its decentralized and international nature and as a way of limiting my exposure to banks.  Of course, I'd still have other money in investments (property, shares, other cryptos, etc), but my daily-use money and savings I'd happily put into Bitcoin.  The only thing stopping me from doing it now is that, while Bitcoin may go huge amounts, it could also go the other way, so I'm not prepared to take that risk.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Would you still use Bitcoin if it stabilised at around USD$5000? on: October 06, 2017, 12:25:30 AM
I've been thinking about why people use Bitcoin a bit lately and its long-term potential.  It used to be touted as an alternative to fiat currency, and in fact, the future of currency.  Now it seems that people are talking about Bitcoin more as a store of value - a place to keep your money safe that is not a bank or an institution.  I know a lot of us invest in Bitcoin more for the perceived increase in value; basically, a lot of us want to get rich.

Here's my question:  Would you still continue to move your fiat currency to Bitcoin if it topped out at around USD$5000 and you KNEW it would not go higher, but you also KNEW it would not dip in value?  Maybe we could assume it would rise with inflation.  If this were the case would you be more or less likely to move your money to Bitcoin?

Hey everyone, the app is not launched yet. The name will be "CryptoWi" and we will post a link here when it is live on the play store tomorrow Smiley
So, an Android app.  Will there definitely be an iOS app?  Is it even possible to control the WiFi connections using the iOS APIs?  I would have thought that this is not possible, based on my limited experience with iOS programming (unless the user is using a jailbroken device).

Edit:  Looks like I am wrong and there are some specific APIs that could be utilised to achieve this.  They appear to be newer than when I last did any iOS app development.  Looking forward to seeing an iOS version of CyptoWi App.  Any release date?

Let's hope there really is an app.  And this is all real.  Because I haven't actually seen an app yet ;-)
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Plexcoin: the reasons that make me think it's a great scam! on: September 17, 2017, 12:07:58 AM
If plexcoin ends up being legit then I will probably invest later.  But this appears way too risky to me at this stage.  It appears pretty dodgy.

Many people are talking about Dividends, till now I don't TexPay is dividends based crypto. So when are they going to pay the dividends, is there any specific ETA provided by the team.
They are expecting it to happen before the year is out.  They are waiting until after the upcoming Ethereum hard fork, as well as focusing on getting the app and cards right.

Thanks man... much appreciated.  A lot of this comes from doing this for a LONG time.  

I do a lot of research, but my friends do a lot of research as well.  

Number 1 piece of advice I can give it to make good friends while you're here.
Thank you for sharing.  I'm always looking for your posts now, although I always seem to jump on these things a little too late.  XEL is floating around 11700 sats now.  Would you still jump in at this point or have I missed the boat on this one?

I only contributed once, but I applied twice (because I decided to switch to paying with LTC instead of BTC and I also increased my contribution).  I hope the correct amount of WIC will be credited to my ETH account...
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin "cash" - price speculation on: September 07, 2017, 10:46:30 AM
I'm holding BCH mainly because I am worried about a conspiracy theory I read a few weeks ago which seems plausible, especially now watching some of these Chinese miners mining BCH at a loss.  Long story short, there are some big BTC holders and Chinese miners that want to try to crush BTC and replace it with BCH.  My 1 BCH is my insurance policy, should that happen later this year.  It sux, because I'd love to dump my BCH now at a profit.

I'm bad luck.  I just dumped my NEO to buy in to ARDR at 0.00003337 BTC/ARDR and it started to drop almost straight away afterwards.  Hopefully this is temporary  Cry #WrongMoon  Tongue
