1  Economy / Digital goods / Re: 30% off $100 Walmart, Best Buy, Steam, & Amazon.com Gift Cards! on: October 08, 2018, 12:13:32 AM
Ok,  so I bought one of these amazon codes and here's my experience.  First,  I paid the bitcoin to the address on the link....then I waited for a confirmation.  Afterwards;  I checked the tab where I had bought it and it said to check my email.  I did and I found an Amazon code in it.  I copied the code to my clipboard and went to Amazon and went the the gift card redeem page.  Then I pasted the code...and it worked!  I got a $100 Amazon code for $70! Smiley Thanks op!!!

Yes it's real.  5% off coupon for the first buyer from here 'btctalk'.
Bought one.  Waiting on 1 confirmation.  I'll update here with if it works or not.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to eliminate unemployment. on: October 31, 2017, 01:49:28 PM
Almost every country has unemployment problems. There are many young boys who are working unemployed. But the days of settling their turn are over. Now, if you wish, you can earn a lot of money sitting in the house. Bitcoin can earn their unemployment by earning. It can be possible to improve the country by improving their lives by earning bitcoin. That is why Bitcoin among all Habetahale to spread the knowledge of the second day will increase the demand for Bitcoin.
While bitcoin is awesome,  I doubt that this is true as no currency will "eliminate unemployment". Sure faucets and stuff work, but they pay very little compared to an actual job in most countries.

hello
I'm going to introduce a very popular site on the internet

bitcoin Kings are elected

http://btchomepage.com/index.html

throw out a comment to the web site
Smiley
You want 100 btc for what now? A stupid "king" position? That's over 400k USD.  You're aware of that right? Where does the money even go? Your own wallet? This is a terrible idea,  and the "reviews" on your site are clearly fake. The only positive thing I have to say about this site is that it looks decent on mobile.

Op,  make sure this guy is legit.  If he's not,  he will run with your 200 btc which is a lot!
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Got hacked and robbed. My mistake for keeping coins on exchange on: October 31, 2017, 12:59:38 PM
was able to login from my IP and was able to login to my email despite the fact that I had just changed my password.
You most likely have a rat (remote administrator tool) on your computer allowing that very hacker to see everything you do and type,  and also to remote control your computer as well as using his computer to browse from your ip address.  My guess is that he grabbed your login for your email and used a reverse proxy to login and change your info and take your btc.  I would recommend checking your computer for malware and also checking your startup entries. If that doesn't get rid of the hacker,  then you probably should just reset and keep only what you need.

There is a thread about recomendations for the best wallet to use, but not all practice what they preach, so this poll is to see what people are actually using.
I understand that some people use multiple wallets of different kinds, so this poll asks which wallet is most used, this can be measured either by quantity of bitcoin or ammount of transactions.

I use electrum which is a software for windows and I also use coinbase for my web wallet.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Are Now Used in Crimes on: October 30, 2017, 08:40:59 PM
Bitcoins has regained its strong value, As of this posting, the value per 1 bitcoin is exactly 4786.59 US Dollar.   Soon we will see more ways people can squeeze the most out of bitcoins.   Since the advent of the internet to be profit oriented in the 90's, no one would possibly have imagined that the Internet would breed Facebook, Google, Uber, online streaming, etc. This is where we are with the Blockchain now. There exists a whole world of opportunities out there.  

These opportunities have the unrighteous users of this cryptocurrencies to also used its advantage. We cannot deny for a fact that cyber crimes have been committed since the birth of the internet.  Once, stealing was done with having guns, now, robbers can easily hack bank accounts or counterfeit credit cards to their advantage.  Sooner, cryptocurrencies can be used to pay crimes such as services for creating counterfeit birth certificates and this is not far from happening.  Actually, the US has already cases on this matter.

Another is the crime of buying illegal-drug emporium that used Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, politicians and policymakers took notice. Criminals, it turns out, really like bitcoins, which can be exchanged for nefarious purposes on the "Dark Web," with complete anonymity and, it seems, impunity.

Although, there are some articles that i have read regarding criminals cannot hide behind bitcoins, still, there are difficulties tracing transactions using cryptocurrencies. That is why law enforcement agencies should have a to change their procedures to pursue criminals who make use of the latest technology to commit crimes. Let the law find a way to evolve to address new tech challenges. There is no reason to expect that law enforcement won’t be able to get a handle on this new cybercrime.
Any currency that's mainstream has been used for crime.  The US dollar for example. Criminals will have you buy stuff with it and give them it or give/send them the money.  Bitcoin just makes it easier by providing more anonymity.

Bitcoin is growing very powerfully but in this present scenario which factors can destroy or make its market value Zero.
Bitcoin is safe...unless there's a bug or backdoor in the code it should continue to be a solid currency and be worth a lot in my opinion.

Hi
Does someone have an idea why this tx does not get confirmed?

3df93a8fa476daf69c56ac8b6c5185a149d528cf0fb512dbc068ad06fd699372

I do not see what is wrong with it. There is 1$ fee attached to it.

Greets
Sadly,  you didn't put enough of a fee on it.  The good news is that there are free transaction boosts in the services section.
11  Economy / Services / Re: ios emulator on: October 30, 2017, 06:13:10 PM
I need to get an app from ios (belinked) on my windows 10 laptop or android device
if you can tell me which free app does this or how i could do this and can proof this (take a picture of the emulator while on belinked) I'll send you 0.001 btc
As someone who has tried to find something like this for a long time,  I can tell you that it likely dosent exist.  You can use tools to make your desktop look like Ios but you can't actually run real Ios apps on windows.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is an asset or currency. on: October 30, 2017, 06:06:52 PM
I hear from many sources that btc is used for trading much more than it is for goods and services; doesn't that make it an asset ??
and is that necessarily a bad thing ?? and what can we do about it as a community ??
I feel that it's both an asset and a currency.  It can be used as money,  or to transfer over to gold or something tangible.
