1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2017 is almost closed.... How was the Crypto year friends on: December 31, 2017, 09:17:45 PM
I didn't expect cryptocurrency to be this popular at this point and I'm trying to wrap my head around if it was even ready yet. Things have to get fixed asap. This blocksize debate is ruining the whole ecosystem.

You just need to Google things, go to YouTube, stay away from Web wallets (their security is crap) don't invest in ponzis like cloud mining and never share your private keys. Also hardware wallets are good but you can also use paper wallets, which of course are basically free and have great security if you make them on an air - gapped system.

What's up with Mycelium? I feel like there hasn't been an update in quite a while.
4  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium HD Account on: September 30, 2017, 02:12:46 AM
1) HD wallets create a new address and send the change to that address

2) They have a website? Why would you need to use that? My app has been working for years with zero problems.

3) Create cold storage and add the public key as a watch only address

4) Sending money from any bitcoin address to another will be like any other transaction.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Best organization for spreading crypto adoption? on: August 27, 2017, 07:27:55 PM
I'd say anyone that is mediating the bridge between cryptocurrency and fiat is the person who is helping the most with mass adoption. Exchanges, crypto debit cards or anything like that. If it's easy to buy and use them it's easier for people to wrap their head around it. I'm assuming when bitcoins do become mainstream they'll be very very easy to use by then and will be a little more similar to our traditional fiat spending is. Debit cards, possibly credit cards and smart people can hold their own bitcoins but people who don't understand them will be able to store them somewhere and pay a fee to store them there or of course that institution could lend them out and we'll all get screwed over when that ponzi fails. History usually gets repeated. It's unfortunate but true.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will happen to my BTC in 3 different places on Aug 1st? on: July 31, 2017, 02:25:22 AM
So basically you've ignored every single thread, website and person you've talked to and made this thread about leaving bitcoins on multiple exchanges.

Why not just, you know, own your own bitcoins and make your own decisions?! If you don't have your private keys (or you aren't the only person with them) you don't own any bitcoins.
7  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is going under 1800! on: July 16, 2017, 07:02:30 PM
But what should you do if you only periodically show up to see how your cold storage coins are doing? Tuck you head between your legs and kiss your behind goodbye?
8  Economy / Economics / Re: The legalization of bitcoin. on: June 17, 2017, 03:14:38 PM
Who cares if bitcoin is declared legal or not in your country? I'm not using bitcoins because my government said it's OK I'm using it because I can make my own decisions with my own money.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tainted Bitcoins? on: May 13, 2017, 08:43:20 PM
Hello,

I buy Bitcoin locally with cash and charge a 3.5 percent commission. I then sell the Bitcoin in Kraken and cash out.
I've been noticing that some of the Bitcoins I get are tainted (https://blockchain.info/taint/*bitcoin address here*) and I'd like to know what risks I'm taking by selling such Bitcoins there.

Should I be worried?

This brings us to the old bitcoin problem: lack of fungibility. Since the blockchain is public, some addresses have been linked to criminal activity. It shouldn't be a problem, because all bitcoins should be considered valid, but if authorities decide it's a problem, then it becomes a problem, unfortunately.

I hope future improvements in privacy such as CoinJoin and Confidential Transactions can be enabled by default and work seamlessly. Meanwhile yes, you should worry about coins linked to criminals...

That in theory should solve everything but even so, blockchain analysis will always be around. Maybe when coinjoin comes out it'll be a big business trying to figure out who's sending what where (and when).
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a source of income? on: May 03, 2017, 03:53:49 PM
I would like to find a full time job that pays bitcoins. It would have to be something online though, and most online jobs are notorious for being scams.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bobby Lee - price target in 2020; after block halving: USD $5k-$11k on: April 30, 2017, 06:27:48 PM
Who is Bobby Lee and why would I care what his random guess would be? This makes no difference to anyone.

Uh oh! Hotdog!
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If you have 1BTC to spent in trading what coins will you invest on: April 17, 2017, 04:00:43 PM
Monero, ETH, DASH, Feathercoin (in case it gets pumped) vertcoin, bytecoin and litecoin. If I see anything else that looks new or different I would also invest a small portion there.

Are there any wool hats or any with big a big HODL right in the middle of the forehead? That's what I'd be after.
15  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: I have $40,000 USD, Can I buy miners? on: March 27, 2017, 12:30:52 PM
It looks like the OP wasn't serious anyway. He was just here at bitcointalk to scam.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BUgcoin strikes back on: March 22, 2017, 06:11:39 PM
How are these people supposed to create a legitimate running hard fork!? If we fork I'm selling all of my BTU for BTC.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: in 8 years bitcoin didn't rise from $0 to $1000+ because of ETF... on: March 11, 2017, 06:50:28 PM
It looks to me like there were only some people speculating on the price of bitcoins based on the ETF passing. Bitcoins are still holding steady and we're still going to see huge rises in the future, ETF or not.
18  Economy / Lending / Re: Lending bots: Are they profitable? on: March 02, 2017, 02:51:24 PM
In my experience, no. There is no way to assess the risk properly with a bot apparently because I got screwed. I wouldn't suggest lending sites at all, and especially not with a bot.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Where can i invest my money? on: February 11, 2017, 05:48:44 PM
OP is basically just asking how to buy bitcoins. He's not looking for shady crap like illegal gambling bankrolls or ponzis. Just buy bitcoins and hodl forever. Also, show the $2mil. I don't believe you.
20  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Project ideas on: February 03, 2017, 01:15:17 PM
1. Blockchain based new games for gambling platform
2. Decentralized trading platforms
3. Probability of confirmation checker for bitcoin transactions so that bitcoin transactions can be accepted instantly.
4. Decentralized storage

Are few ideas which still need to be developed and this have demand in the market.

1. Hard to start, lot of legal issues
2. Yep we need tgat
3. Uhhhh, sure. So LN?
4. That's... That's what bitcoins are. Did you not get the memo?
