China can now say their city is home to a two-way bitcoin ATM.


A link to an article.


Great news for China and for Bitcoin indeed!

Quote
Bitcoin ATMs. They’re seemingly sprouting up all over the place.

And while many of these so-called ATMs aren’t much more than bitcoin vending machines (in that they allow only for one-way transactions), the people of Beijing, China can now say their city is home to a two-way bitcoin ATM.

It made it’s debut during a bitcoin party at a Satoshi Square event at the 798 Art Zone – the city’s artistic district. It is being called the country’s first two-way bitcoin ATM, but we cannot independently verify that statement.

Produced by the Las Vegas-based Robocoin team, the 300-pound bitcoin ATM allows people to purchase bitcoin using the Chinese yuan, and also exchange bitcoin for yuan.

This particular machine employs a number of biometric features that are used to enforce daily buy/sell limits, as well as to keep track of potential money laundering activites — though many in the community insist the features create a cumbersome experience and invade one’s privacy.

At the party, guests listened to several speeches and music from the ZhangZhang bitcoin band.

Robocoin now has operators of their bitcoin ATMs in a number of locations around the world. Most recently, the company announced the first bitcoin ATM in Las Vegas, housed at The D Hotel and Casino — which became the first casino property in the world the accept bitcoin earlier this year.

Robocoin’s first bitcoin ATM made its debut late last year at a downtown Vancouver coffee shop. That particular machine transacted upwards of $1 million in its first month of operation.

Robocoin also recently announced that their bitcoin ATMs sprinkled across the globe will receive an update this summer that will essentially turn them into ‘branches’, allowing for the easy international remittence of bitcoin where Robocoin ATMs exist.


And please tell me ever again that China ban Bitcoin I will let my dogs out.
106  Bitcoin / Press / [2014-05-18] Give $250,000 in Bitcoin, Get Second Citizenship on: May 18, 2014, 09:45:58 PM
Do you want to escape from the FUD? Smiley
You can always help yourself with a Second Citizenship Cheesy

A link to an article


We can buy it here:

and what we can read on a main page is:
Quote
Today’s news headlines are filled with stories from around the globe about upheaval, increased taxes, and governments exerting more and more control over citizens’ freedoms and privacy. The world is rapidly changing and destabilizing, creating more and more risk for people everywhere.

Having a second citizenship and passport in a stable country is now a must in order to hedge against governmental intrusion and excessive taxation. This site explores the value and benefits of acquiring economic citizenship in the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. This well-respected program is the fastest and easiest pathway to citizenship by investment of any in the world.

And now, one St. Kitts company that is authorized by the government to submit citizenship applications is accepting Bitcoins for the required property investment and all fees associated with acquiring St. Kitts citizenship.

Hehe... Isn't that great? Cheesy

I am curious how many citizens this island will have... Smiley

To educate kids and youth about what Bitcoin is - really important as this cryptocurrencies are their future!

A link to an article

Quote
One day, probably quite soon, most kids will be getting their pocket money in digital currency and skilfully using it for in-game purchases, tipping buddies on reddit and other really cool things which have yet to be invented.

This is so true - and this is why I am developing "Bitcoin Online Embassy" - so Bitcoin’s Youngest can educate about what Bitcoin is in a way they love the most - by visiting our Virtual World!

http://bitkidz.com is trying to do the job but they need to update more often ... on their main page you can see news from 2013 ... which is bad.

Anyway. Read this article and feel free to comment in here.

111  Bitcoin / Press / [2014-05-15] Is Bitcoin The Currency Of The Future? on: May 15, 2014, 10:50:20 PM
An article by www.ktul.com (Tulsa's Channel 8 )

Quote
Will there ever be a replacement for the American dollar?
Right now, there are at least a dozen monetary systems, operating on the internet.
They work without any banks or government backing.
So that really appeals to some people, who don't like our traditional financial system.
The people who belong to the network, deal directly with each other through their computers.
While account holders are anonymous, all their accounts are visible to everyone on the system.
Bitcoin is the best known of the cyber alternatives.
Computer researchers, at the University of Tulsa's Tandy School of Computers Science, say the math and the technology behind the system is sound.
But the human factors involved, are another matter.
There are hackers and scam artist out there.
Plus, the cyber currencies tend to have wild value swings.
T.U. graduate student Michael Haney says he's interested in bitcoins, but he doesn't own any because the system needs time to mature.
The Bitcoin economy is set-up to have a fixed amount of money, with some of it being slowly introduced over time.
You can actually set up your personal computer, to go looking for coins on the internet.
It's called mining and you use your computer for a mathematical scavenger hunt.
Grad student, Michael Fisher, showed us the account he's built-up by mining.
But it cost money to mine and that includes buying special computer equipment.
After 2-years and paying for his mining setup, he had about $900 worth, on the day of our visit.
He can spend it a number of different websites and the options are growing rapidly.
Recently Overstock.com became the first major company, to accept bitcoins.
The involvement of big corporations, would give the system more credibility.
Tulsa's Better Business Bureau says be careful if you want to explore this new world of finance.
A lot of people have been burned by scams.


I think this is worst written article about Bitcoin I read from a long time...

Person who wrote this article have a huge lack of informations about Bitcoin.

 Bitcoin wasn't and it is not mentioned to be a replacement for the USD ...

2nd -
Quote
The people who belong to the network, deal directly with each other through their computers.
well.. yes and no... because as we all know, huge percent of all of the transactions are not really p2p but some 3rd p.c. are operating some of the transactions.

 I must ask author of this article when he was talking to him ... was it 2014 ... or not.... mining for 2 years and earn like $900 Smiley USB erupters ... Smiley

A lot of people have been burned by scams.
and how many were scammed while using USD or other fiat currency???


I think we should write to them Smiley they need to inform themselves better before posting articles like this one.

112  Bitcoin / Press / [2014-05-15] Kashmir Hill (Forbes): 21 Things I Learned About Bitcoin (...) on: May 15, 2014, 06:56:33 PM
Full title is: 21 Things I Learned About Bitcoin Living On It A Second Time
A link to an article

Quote
I lived on Bitcoin for a week in 2013  and learned a lot.
This year, I repeated my experiment. Here’s what I learned this time:

I live on Bitcoin for more than a half year Tongue but indeed I need to use fiats too... to pay bills, buy food, etc...


But her experiment is pretty interesting. You can read her story from each day of her experiment.

And what are 21 things that she learned?
You should read it by your own Smiley

My favorites learned things by her are:

Quote
1. It is easier to live on Bitcoin this year than last.
(True Smiley and it will be easier every year from now on)

Quote
3. I used to feel crazy when I asked people if I could pay for things in a made-up virtual currency, but now that Bitcoin is more widely known, I just feel eccentric.
I had same feelings when I was doing that Smiley

Quote
4. People may have heard of Bitcoin but they still don’t understand how it works.
So true... this is why so many supporters are trying to make people do understand by writing articles or creating short video clips for Bitcoin newbies. But still - I believe this is a problem that need just some more time to be resolved by itself Wink

Quote
8. When things do go wrong in Bitcoin, it’s not clear who you turn to.
things can go wrong only if we are using 3rd party companies... and well.. due to some hackers stealing your pvtkeys.  Well ... this is why we are going back to point 4.


Well anyway ! Smiley it is interesting you should read it!

Regards.


113  Bitcoin / Press / [2014-05-15] Dutch Payment Service Mollie Takes Bitcoin to 10,000+ Merchants on: May 15, 2014, 06:43:54 PM
Have you already read about it? If not - you should! Smiley


Quote
Established in 2004, Mollie is one of the leading payments services in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, catering to more than 10,000 merchants across the Benelux region, according to the company.

The company says that the addition of bitcoin will allow thousands of merchants to start accepting the digital currency immediately, without the need for further integration.

That's indeed kind gift from Mollie! Smiley +10.000 to a number of Bitcoin acceptable Merchants is truly promising


Quote
“We are convinced that, by making it simple and risk-free for online merchants to accept bitcoins, we are providing a major contribution to the mass adoption and use of bitcoin,” he said, adding.

It is just another BitPay / Coinbase kind project but it have something more within as we can read:
Quote
Mollie’s API is integrated in leading shopping software platforms, such as Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, SEOshop and OpenCart. The company itself is a licensed payments provider and it is regulated by the Dutch Central Bank.

114  Bitcoin / Press / [2014-05-15] Coinbase Giving Away Free Bitcoin to College Students on: May 15, 2014, 01:32:16 PM
I think this is very kind offer from Coinbase  Wink

Quote
Coinbase Giving $10 Worth of Free Bitcoin to College Students

$10 - not a lot, but I know that $10 in hands of a student increase its value Smiley

And as for now bitcoin price is pretty low, so good moment to collect your free $10 from them (if you are a student Tongue )

Quote
Coinbase, a popular online digital wallet, has started a new initiative to give $10 worth of free Bitcoin to college students who create a new Coinbase account. A .edu email address must be used to prove that the one applying for an account is really a college student. This effort began as a way to attract college students to Bitcoin.

The online digital wallet company writes that it was inspired by the two MIT students who were able to raise enough money to give $100 worth of free Bitcoin to 4,500 undergraduates. Giving away free Bitcoin will allow the students, who’ve never heard of Bitcoin, the chance to experiment and understand its capabilities.

I found this http://hash-master.com on-line store on a very high position @Google when you search for "gridseed scrypt-asic".

First what I did was to search some reviews on Bitcointalk but nothing was found.

Web site looks OK. But "Contact"..

I do not see any shop ... But I do understand that you can register your company to some address and you do not need to have an "open IT store" there.
I understand too, that Google Street View isn't updated daily Smiley More like yearly ... so perhaps this place might looks different than on this screen.


So I just want to ask what do you think about this?
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Coin2.0/BTC wall observer on: April 30, 2014, 01:07:14 PM
I must say Coin2.0 wall is pretty interesting.

I will explain why:

5 min Chart:


15min:


30min:


1h:


8h:


Daily:


When C2 was PoW coin - price went up to ~1000sat. Then after attack, there was a drop to ~250.
C2 was converted into C2.0 PoS coin - very secure and with no possibility to make 51% attack.

After relaunch prices went up to 1380satoshi.  Now you can buy @~650sat.

And developers are very active. They have a plan and they believe to rise a value thousand times.
It will be first cryptocurrency with possibility earn cryptocoins while playing online FPS game. I must say I am very good player and I am waiting for this possibility Tongue

Anyway. Check those charts and do you see what I see?  Smiley
because I predict +30%-50% in next 24h.

Takiego początka tygodnia nie mieliśmy już dawno ... Smiley aż miło patrzeć na wykresy ceny Bitcoin...

przykład z BitMarket.pl (to nie jest kryptoreklama Tongue żeby nie było Smiley ale tu całkiem nieźle to widać)

Nareszczie jakieś ++ zamiast oglądana codziennego spadku o stówkę ... Smiley

Osobiście przyznam, że gdy cena była już na dnie ~1000zł ... przez chwilę pomyślałem Smiley, że może istnieje mała szansa, żeby spadła do np. 10zł Cheesy wtedy ... uhh.. nie ma co marzyć Cheesy

W każdym razie .. jak dotąd nowy tydzień bardzo obiecujący - mam nadzieję, że do wakacji już taki trend będzie normalnym Tongue
