Hello Thailand,

I am respected member of the European and American Bitcoin community. Will be visiting you starting next friday with Bangkok!

Maybe you have a room to rent or a couch to surf for a long-term Bitcoiner like me? I would definitely also need to sell some BTC for Thai bath right on the 4th or 5th of September. Where are the go-to places to meet fellow Bitcoiners?

Cheers!

[compile]

Let's compile a list if currently pure 100% POS coins and other coins with other methods to secure a distributed blockchain without POW.

I'll make the start:


Blackcoin
X15

NXT
Quora

Bitshares

Peershares? Is this real?

Hi there!

Have there been any successful attacks on 100% POS-coins like Blackcoin, Vericoin or NXT?

Has somebody tried to attack them? What experience did you make while doing it?

Hi there,

can anybody elaborate how the Qora POS works?

Is there any specification?

Code is closed source it seems... reverse engineering possible?

Anybody penetration testing it?

Cheers!

There is a new Monero pool

http://moneropool.com/
check it out and profit!

Admin promised...

DOUBLE reward for the first 10 mined blocks for all who contributed

Please make an offer here. The current exchanges seem not trustworthy...

Hi Guys!
How does the POS work exactly in Blackcoin? Is it the same shit as with Peercoin? Or how does it solve the 'nothing-at-stake' problem?
Thanks for your qualified answer!

PM me please if you can translate Bitcoin content from English to Chinese for BTC.

Suppose I fly to China tomorrow and bring some bitcoins with me. Is anybody interested in establishing a business relationship?

I would buy the coins here in Europe, fly to Shanghai or Beijing, exchange them to Cash (EUROS) and fly back.

Are there any limitations on carrying cash on flights between China and Europe?

If your are interested, please make me an offer!

It is the first cryptocoin news aggregator with a unique monetization mechanism. Here you can share and tip posts with the community and get rewarded with real money.

Together we are going to shape the future of content discovery & content creation monetization. Never before was it possible to earn real money while browsing the web and discovering valuable information for the community. The rationale behind it is that the discoverers, the readers and the sharers of content are equally important as the original creators of the content. So why not get rewarded for discovering and sharing valuable content?

HOWTO: Instead of voting up as seen on Reddit/HN you tip up with real bitcoins. And if enough people tip a post after you posted OR tipped it you will get 1.5x your tip back. The sequential order of the tips is preserved. All this works anonymously but you can also create an account to participate more in the community. Furthermore 10% of all incoming tips is reserved for the original creator of the content.

EXAMPLE: You create a post with an initial tip of 0.01 BTC. Alice likes your post and tips it with 0.01 BTC. Now the sum of all tips is 0.02 BTC. Thus we are able to send you 0.015 BTC back to your address from which you send the initial tip from. Ten minutes later Bob comes and tips your post with 0.02 BTC and Alice gets also 0.015 BTC back. For the original creator of the content 0.004 BTC (10% of all tips) gets reserved.

This project is going to be open sourced soon. And this is just the beginning. We are planning to support more coins in the near future.

If you want to contact us for any reason send us an email to info@thenewsbits.com . Contact us especially if you are a NodeJS dev or are interested in investing into us or if you want to do a partnership with us.

If you like it, please upvote it on Reddit! http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lqas0/reddit_meets_bitcoin_thenewsbitscom/

Happy tipping!

I have noticed that the difficulty has dropped a little bit in the last 24 hours. Also the price has dropped a bit. If you own Primecoins you should continue mining! Even if it is just one CPU... there are thousands of people who mine with just one single CPU and that is also one great thing about Primecoin: everybody (!) has still a real chance to exchange some hardware and electricity against a virtual currency.

Important to understand about XPM is that the more people mine, the lower the block rewards get and thus the supply declines. This drives the price up, let's more people mine it for profit and so on and so on...

KEEP ON MINING before the first GPUminers get build and the difficulty rises, the price goes up and you regret that you did not continue mining while you had a realistic chance to earn some XPM.

So, if you are already mining: post the current difficulty here periodically together with the reward and time of your last found block...

My last mined block earned me 11.79 coins. ("timereceived" : 1374502394). I am mining with one computer only...

Current Difficulty: 9.26531601

Hi,

I remembered that there where petitions for FTC and CNC for supporting their listing on BTC-e, which is the largest altcoin exchange so far.

Let's do the same for Primecoin! It will be a huge win for XPM to be listed on the largest altcoin exchange.

Hi,

There are already a lot of different platforms for creating new securities. To name a few:

https://btct.co/
www.litecoinglobal.com
Bitfunder
Cryptostocks
MPex
Havelock
[...]?

What is the best platform to launch a new security right now?
How much does it cost?
How do they all belong together?

Lets compile a list!

[Use alternative exchanges. Use LocalBitcoins.]

Right now MtGox acts more and more like a central bank. It sets the price of Bitcoin. If it breaks, the price breaks too (goes down). And again people start talking about decentralized exchanges. We already have a lot of exchanges. Just start using them! Arbitrage traders/bots will do the rest.

Use alternative exchanges. Use LocalBitcoins.

It can not be that Bitcoin's decentralized beauty is compromised by a single exchange. We need alternatives for the benefit of all. Support them!


And one more: Do not keep your coins at any exchange.

hi cryptocurrency experts!

is there any difference between PPC and NVC except the hashing algorithm?

besides that: is the hashing algorithm important with the proof of stake concept?

can somebody explain why hashing is still needed?

thanks!

For several weeks I have been thinking about it...

I finally set up a social news aggregator a la reddit or HN for the Bitcoin economy.

Check it out at http://bitonomy.com  

Please use it to share and find any valuable information arround cryptocurrencies.

Any serious feedback is strongly appreciated.

Searching for a JSdev: This project ist very early stage. I have also developed a concept on how to integrate bitcoin micropayments in order to reward the sharer and the creator of the content. If any decent JSdev would like to join forces in order to make this happen please contact me!

Have fun sharing!

Hi there,

if the cost of power is not an issue, what would be the best investment in mining hardware right now? How do you calculate the ROI of a mining HW investment? To simplify the calculation lets assume there is a free and stable 10kW power source. How many BTCs can be made per day out of 10kW?

Options:
- buy used GPU mining rigs?
- buy FPGA rigs? New or used?
- preorder ASICS
