I have been using bank-related services for a long time now and I can't see myself stopping to use those services, especially now that things are easier with online banking. Although there's always some risks associated with online banking, as with everything nowadays, the most I could do is just make it as secured as possible. With bitcoin, I am only barely scratching the surface of what it can offer and what benefits it can give. Bitcoin for now is more of an experimental journey for me, something that I'm willing to explore further in the next coming years.

The great thing is that you can use both instead of choosing one of the two options. I don't understand why certain people force themselves to choose when they can have the best of both worlds. Internet banking and making online payments have never been this easy. It allows us to pay for things instantly. At least, that's the case here.
Correct. Using both is a good choice and very profitable. We can use the bank to save money securely, and we could use bitcoin for profit or a good short-term investment. Both are very beneficial if used properly.

I'm 99% sure those who bought BTC for $1200 back in 2013 didn't make profit or increase their investment. BTC is beneficial if used properly... as a means of transfer. Not as an investment in and of itself. Claiming BTC is "very profitable" is asinine, and anyone who spent $1200 for their coins I'm sure would agree with that.
That should have been obvious enough, considering the highest price reached by bitcoin is only at $1150, and the current value now is only about a third of that.
I disagree calling people asinine if they think btc is very profitable, simply because it is. It's not our fault if people actually lost money from it, isn't it? You just have to play the game in a smart way. BTC has it's risk so it's only natural that some people lose.

So what you're saying is everything in the world is "highly profitable" when used properly. Even when most people lose as a result. Your statement, therefore, means nothing, and surely doesn't make BTC a good choice when everything else fits in the same boat.

Sometimes bad luck happens bro, I played slot once too and from 0.02 Bitcoin i won 0.5 Bitcoin but because i thought that slot is very easy game and i am lucky i withdrawed the 0.4 and played with the 0.1, I lost that 0.1 deposit another 0.1 until i deposit everything and in the end 0.02 to 0.5 to 0, that was just overnight Smiley still i had a good experience and never played slot again .

It shows that clearly in gambling only luck can bring us the money and other skills are secondary. When you make some profit from gambling try to get out from gambling as soon as possible and you can come back later to try your luck again with small amount. But you allow your greediness to continue until you lose everything what you earned and your money.

This is gambler's fallacy. If you do x bets now, then leave and return later to do y more bets, that's the same as doing x+y right then.

Can someone confirm something? I know it's been stated that you have to hold 2x block # for a day to get positive stake. Is this actually calculated as time (24h) or is it based on blocks? I know most coins use the block count as time (i.e., if 1 block is expected to take an hour, it would be 24 blocks, which could take 30 minutes or 6 days).

It's counted as time in days, nothing to do with # of blocksj

so if you have 1M coins you need 2 days to have minimum coin age to stake positive.

1M x2 = 2M

Watch the column "coin days" in the minting tab to be sure you are at or over 10 * Block # before you stake!

You mean 2 * Block #, :p.

And thanks for confirming. I haven't hit the 24h on my first batch yet so just wanted to confirm I understand everything correctly.

Pay round keeps working!

Look: http://www.coinage.tk/devcoin/tx/6835a8971e033d8747a5cbe15c9ca4129b9c0044dd06b579da6d69c8fc596afc

That block is from just a few minutes ago, so guess that this is just hosting matter (again) that should be resolved soon.

The receiver files are on many other sites (for example, I host a copy of it), so it's not related to Devtome in the slightest. Devtome is only used to pull article/word counts. The current round (and next round) are already calculated, though, and were before Devtome went down. So if Devtome isn't up by the end of the next round, the one after that will not be calculated.

Here we go, in 35 days I'm pretty sure that this project will collect 2000 BTC as I can see so many interested with this ICO, I'll invest some BTC & ETH now!

Is there any list that shows the total that they have received so far? Didn't see anything in the OP in relation to this. I ask because there's so many other methods than BTC being accepted, so just watching that wallet doesn't tell anything.
1208  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bank or Bitcoin Wallet? on: August 25, 2016, 09:18:22 AM
I will still chose my bitcoin wallet because it has more security and i will have enough peace of mind   

Look at this

Bank disadvantages:-

Seize of funds if you fuck up
The charge you Large transaction fee (it can blow of your mind)
The charge Larger transaction fee if you are doing a swift transfer
Pay for account maintenance
The can block your account if you have not used it for a long time

But with BTCbitcoin wallet i have less worries


All are wrong. I will explain my view to those things you list if you able to explain all things you stated.

Give some strong support and backup to your claims and I will explain to you why your thinking is wrong.

All of his statements depend on the country of residence. You're basing things on your local municipality, and unless you literally live in every country on earth, you can't possibly compare your personal situation with his.

i am prefered investment
i want my money is always growth so is can pasive income for me,saving in my bank only result my job online and offline


It is anyway better to invest instead of saving in bank. if you save your money in bitcoin. it could be still considered as a profitable saving. but saving in fiat is not beneficial at all.
Save your money in bitcoin and get profit in future. or invest your money somewhere if you want to be in profit.(of course you need to find something legit to invest)

Don't spread misinformation. There is nothing that even insinuates that BTC will go up in value. You're HOPING. Do not advise newbies as if this is a sure thing, when it's not. It is a risky investment.

How many blocks should it need when you withdraw from RAWX? I did it on block *57 (1.5h or so ago), we're now on *65 and it's still not showing up in the local wallet, nor is it showing up on the block explorer (Presstab).

Edit: looks like there's a delay. It instantly popped up in my wallet, confirmed (I was synced up with the main site + presstab the whole time). All is good now.

From what I've read so far, you want to develop a coin that does not require mining. I was wondering how P2P transactions will be verified if you do not have miners at work, or am I missing something?

Probably proof of stake, like other coins. NXT, NEM.

I would assume PoS as well. And while a lot of coins feel that you have to offer massive interest rates, you really don't -- the toll staking takes on your system/electricity is negligible, so running the wallets non-stop isn't an issue for most people.

No extra coins besides the first 100 mio. It uses the eth network for transactions so no need for mining or PoS. 100mio coins thats it.

I like that. A hard cap is awesome. And technically it'll decrease each year from people losing private keys, sending to the wrong addresses, etc.

So... as some of you who spend a lot of time exploring the forums know, I have zero issues calling out self-proclaimed "professional" writers that suck (which includes the vast majority). In this case, I'm giving a huge +1 to leowonderful. I'll be honest and say that his writing is far from perfect, but it's also of much greater quality than most others'. And when I talk about others, I'm including, for example, editors at major news sources (think CNN, Forbes, Fox, MSN, etc.). I'm actually extremely impressed, to say the least.

That said, leowonderful, I may have a couple projects coming up for you in the short-term, Smiley.
Thanks for the vouch! I was sleeping, so I couldn't respond any earlier than I have, but I can't thank you enough. I'll be here anytime you need work done.


Prices won't be moving for a very long time, as I've found a perfect balance. If you feel prices are too high or low, we can work something out.

No problem! People often call me a dick/troll for doing what I do, but there's a reason for it -- tired of people making false claims to take advantage of others who don't know better.

And it's awesome to see a higher-quality writer around here, Smiley.
1215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [DVC]DevCoin - Official Thread - Moderated on: August 23, 2016, 08:32:39 PM
Looks like the end of the coin and the wiki. Eh?

Oh well.  It was nice while it lasted.

I published hundreds of thousands of words via scores and scores of long articles.  Fortunately I kept copies.

A couple years ago I took a course on day trading crypto.  The teacher was adamant that all alt coins are temporary.  Looks like he was right.

At the end of the course he said to never trade BTC on the open market in your own name  on an exchange connected to your bank account, but to do it underground, under the table through some site where you don't get full price and you have the funds sent to some prepaid type debit card that isn't in your name.

Due to the IRS decision/classification on crypto currency, it really made it totally unwise to deal in crypto to fiat transactions, so that was my cue to quit writing for pay.  I just wanted to get paid for the last month I had written, but that never happened due to a rash of computer malfunctions where my wallets kept being corrupted.

But I actually would have been interested in writing for Devtome from time to time without getting paid.  I'm really sorry to see the wiki go by the proverbial wayside.

Anyway, thanks to everybody who did so much to make Devtome and Devcoin what it was for a number of years.  Nothing to hang your heads about.

Good effort my friends!

Cheers





Devtome has been up and down for a week now. That error message that was posted (about it being suspended) keeps coming and going. The site keeps being put into "resource overload" as well.

yah. all yr alts (identities) are available Smiley
however it seems down atm. the front end is up but nothing is on it :p

Looks promising. Unfortunately my old account still has two factor authentication still attached. As you can imagine, after about two years I no longer have access to it. I assume I have to email support and hope for the best?

Have emailed as I guess that's the only way.

If you have info on the account (username + things like balances) that should help. In my case, I took a screenshot before mcx shut down so if I had any issues I'd have clear evidence of logs and such I could use for proof.

"Of the many cryptocurrency, this one claimed its market always goes up."

I still don't get it. How are some of you guys actually being taken advantage of when the creator themselves have already admitted it's a Ponzi? When they blatantly state it this clearly and you lose money, that's on you and nobody else. Seriously, quit throwing money at scams and you won't lose money to scams. It's so simple.

Hi ,do you know any adimin from vixtrade exchange?  They did close last month with 1 bitcoin i deposited ...if anyone knew one of the vixtrade exchange admin  please let them know i still wait for my bitcoin to cashout!

We are not affiliated with them in any way, sorry.

When mcxNOW closed everyone had time to withdraw their coins for another 8 months.
When my SolidCoin24 exchange closed my users had 6 months to withdraw their coins.

Hope you get the opportunity to withdraw your 1 BTC as well!


Just stumbled across this after 2 years of knowing I would never get my funds back from mcxnow. Not too sure where the 8 month period of withdrawals came from, as I remember it was more like a day then it suddenly shut down and said it was having an upgrade and becoming "mtmox", surprise that never happened. RealSolid was fairly active on twitter for a couple of monrths after mcxnow went offline but now nothing.

My problem is, to the people who had the mcxFees (think of them as owning a very small part of the website and getting a fraction of the commision on trades depending on how many you had), there was no way to get your money back. The mcxFees were a part of the website. Frustratingly I was one of those people. I had 7/8 mcxFees at the time which, if you converted to BTC and then to £ was about £1500. Not a lot to some people but it was an awful lot to me.

My question is, "if" you have taken over from RealSolid, is there the smallest of chances of me getting just a fraction of what I had back?

Massive shot in the dark but was my own fault for trusting it in the first place. I find it odd how you believe it was a legit site, especially considering how it ended.

  

mcxNOW gave weeks to withdraw, and RS was still active on IRC for months after, doing manual withdrawals. I remember people coming in over half a year later and him still doing it.

You still have your FEEs, as they were all transferred to Rawx. So not sure what you're asking for but you've lost nothing -- you could have withdrawn all your coins and you still have all your FEEs you had before. Just log in to Rawx.

Edit: just want to point out that you used RS's lack of Tweeting to insinuate he disappeared. He was still active on IRC pretty much *daily* aside from a few days over the past 2.5 years.
