1  Economy / Speculation / Teh boook of HODL, CH 2 on: May 16, 2017, 07:04:21 AM
Old thread got locked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

I see a lot of people waiting for a target of $2000 to sell at.  And it's true, I also think it's possible we'll see a dip at $2k or somewhere close, but do you really think it will be exactly $2k?  If that's where the traders are going to dump, then wouldn't a bit *before* $2k be better?  "AHA!"  You say.  "So I'll be even *smarter* and sell *before* the before."  Good luck with that, but you're not going to take my BTC when you buy back in.  And what if there's no dip at all?  It's entirely possible that we blow right past $2k in the beginning of a new bull run with no bounce at all, and my god I would hate to be holding a bag of fiat then.  It's becoming more and more clear that the fiat bag is very real and will make a visit to your country someday, like some kind of crypto-Santa, handing out bags of monopoly money to the nonbelievers.  When that day comes, I hope you're on his good list.

tl;dr: I am still hodling, suck it day traders
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / [DTC] Datacoin Discussion Thread on: November 14, 2015, 10:18:50 AM

There hasn't really been a good DTC discussion thread in this subforum.  Feel free to use this.  Right now I'm looking into making an Android app for accessing/posting to the DTC blockchain, but I can't think of a good way to do this without either a centralized server or downloading the whole DTC blockchain to the device.  Any suggestions?
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Handling user funds on: May 17, 2015, 09:34:44 AM
Sorry if this is the wrong subforum, I'm not quite sure which this belongs in.  Suppose I want to make a service that allows users to spend a crypto from their phones on a service that I provide.  The service uses user data sent from their phone (pictures, text, etc).  This crypto does not have a lightwallet, implementing one is impossible, and the full wallet is too heavy for an android device to reasonably handle.  Is my only option to implement a server-side wallet service?  If so, what are the best practices for handling client funds?  I'm thinking that I'd need to implement a server-side database with a record of funds owned by each account, and then distribute/use funds from the server wallet accordingly?

Any advice appreciated.
4  Economy / Scam Accusations / I got scammed and am being framed by the scammer on: October 21, 2014, 12:02:48 PM
Some of you may know me as the HODLER.  I need to say this now because I may be arrested soon.  I live in Japan and have been trading bitcoins for a while.  Last week I made my first trade on LocalBitcoins.com.  I put in an offer to sell some BTC via bank transfer.  Someone responded and sent me the transfer.  I then confirmed that my bank account had been sent the correct amount and released the BTC to the other party.  After work, I went to withdraw the cash, only to find that my bank account had been frozen by the cyber crime division of the Tokyo police force.  I called several times to figure out why but they basically refused to answer my questions.  After getting my employer involved, I finally found out that I was under suspicion of theft and/or money laundering.  The person owning the bank account that had transferred the cash to me purportedly did not authorize the transfer.  The police suspect that I hacked the guy's bank account and stole his money.  I have little cash on me and am likely out the bitcoin I sent to the other party.  So, I am reaching out to the community here.  If I get arrested and questioned, I may be in deep shit.  The Japanese police are not known for their fair treatment of foreigners.  They may try to pin the crime on me since they likely won't be able to catch the actual criminal and they don't enjoy having to report a crime where they didn't catch the criminal.  I will need funds to fight this.  If it all blows over and I get exonerated, I will personally refund you the exact amount you donated minus mining fees, don't worry.

7  Economy / Speculation / I AM HODLING on: December 18, 2013, 10:03:03 AM
I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time.  Still wrong.  w/e.  GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.  It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER.  Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro.  Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what?  I'm not part of that group.  When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~!  Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT.  NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD.  I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU.  You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob.  The people inbetween hold.  In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

so i've had some whiskey
actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky
w/e
sue me
(but only if it's payable in BTC)
8  Economy / Speculation / I feel bad for Chinese sellers right now on: December 17, 2013, 05:38:19 AM
If China takes the final step and actually bans buying BTC, the off-market price for them in China will go through the roof.  Big market for smuggling BTC to China soon.  Gonna be a lot of people kicking themselves.
9  Economy / Speculation / Reason for the second crash? on: December 07, 2013, 07:43:43 AM
My guess is because btc38 was down during the news, and people couldn't sell.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Someone explain Quarkcoin to me on: December 01, 2013, 12:10:24 PM
Someone explain to me why Quarkcoin is worth buying.  What makes it unique?  What does it do for crypto that other crypto doesn't?
11  Bitcoin / Project Development / Android Implementation on: May 12, 2013, 11:33:37 PM
If I want to use Bitcoin in android apps, what are my options?  It doesn't seem like there's any clear open source library I can just use.  Or is there?  I haven't been finding anything but maybe I'm not looking in the right spots?
12  Other / Beginners & Help / I just now got email confirmations from 10-day old Gox transactions on: April 24, 2013, 11:21:37 PM
Wow, Gox.  Wow.  Way to be on the ball.
13  Economy / Speculation / Question for bears who invest in altcoins on: April 24, 2013, 12:06:53 PM
What are you guys doing with your altcoins right now?  If you thought this was the BTC peak, would you get out of your altcoin positions too?
