Typically, a transaction takes 10 minutes on average to confirm and any other blocks mined after that will increase your confirmation.
Except when it takes *forever*  It's true, 10 minutes is the norm, but somehow, I seem to often manage to wait at least 20-30 minutes for my first confirmation. But I don't send too often either, so it's a small sample size.  Sometimes it's not bitcoin fault but if you are withdrawing coins from an exchange, it couldn't be automatic so it will take 10 minutes + "x" support minutes. This seems basic to most people here, but it's better to explain it to newcomers in the crypto coins. Since this was in response to me: No, I am not including the time from when I request withdrawal until sent (i.e. from an exchange). Most of the time, I am just sending from my blockchain wallet. |

So how many traders are trading on this signal, I wonder? I have never really watched the weekly charts, nor do I use MACD crosses. In a rally like this, I guess we'd never know, anyway...

Really? Was going to join that, but guess I'll have to go to Up/Down first. I forgot about their 30 limit. Yep, it's tough out here for a Full Member even, LOL! I thought once I attained that rank, I was golden. But it seems having a Senior or Hero account really pays these days. I wonder if that will continue for long. It depends. They could close some campaigns, or only allow campaigns for Senior and Hero members. Which ever happens, hopefully I'm a Senior by then. full members can still have pretty decent signatures -- colors, long length, links. i'd be surprised if they got cut out entirely. That would suck, yes, but you know... Some of the signature campaign owners are unpredictable. Like how FXO and Up/Down were fighting over the top deal. And now that the price has gone up, no idea what the latter will do. My hope is that if all else fails, PrimeDice will still be around. Seems like that one has been always running. But also, the flat payout ones don't have a huge overhead like the pay-per-post ones, so they may stick around even if the price goes up a lot. |

Knocked Up and Pineapple Express were both pretty horrible. It may have been due to the fact that both were really hyped up (at least to me), so I expected better. Really bad.

I've used Coinbase, though I am not a huge fan. But it's an easy way to get money directly from your bank into bitcoin. I like to use cash on LBC when I can, but unfortunately never built up any feedback there, so not much luck posting ads.

They didn't prove that they physically own the hardware, possible ponzi scam.
Yes, I am very skeptical of the people behind this. I don't see any proof of anything, and as someone else mentioned, it is a very odd setup that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I would proceed with extreme caution. |

Okay so even if the majority that have voted think that they should be banned we have no way to enforce it. I guess once more it means that it is all about users educating themselves and employing common sense when it comes to trading - which should be the case irrespective of selling accounts.
That's just how it's *always* been on bitcointalk. There are always scammers abound here. In a place where scammers used to just get a "scammer" tag instead of being banned (and now we just have the trust system), that should come as no surprise. I'm also not at all surprised that people sell accounts, given these signature campaigns. |

I could never get up to Updown.bt's posting limits, even the old ones. They are now at 200/week. Prior to that, it was 3000/month. Seems pretty tough to me to post that often and truly keep it constructive.
It depends highly on how much time you have, and which boards interest you. Well, that's what I think. Takes some serious dedication too, haha. I couldn't do it either. I saw someone got paid out almost .9 BTC for one week under updown.bt's program. That's just crazy to me. That's like 100 posts a day! Hmm, that's too many for me, too. It takes me a all-nighter to sometimes get twenty posts, and that's only if I'm interested in something. Me too. I sometimes set out with the intention of posting quite a bit (because, like you, I am advertising as well  ), but usually it dies down and I end up mostly lurking. Oh well. This is why I never got into those "pay per post" kind of things. It's much better now that there are programs (like GAW Miners'  ) that just give you a flat payout if you reach the minimum posts. I'm not a 1000 post/month kinda guy, lol. |

I don't see the hang up on intrinsic value. Okay, so what if bitcoin doesn't have it. So what? It's got the most concentrated network of computing power in the world and its user base is constantly growing. That's value right there!
I'm in this camp. I'm not totally sure I understand exactly how intrinsic value is defined, but let's be real here. Bitcoin has real value, and I don't think that's going away any time soon. The rest is just sophistry, as far as I'm concerned. |

I think its a big milestone that notice, but i dont like the idea that they convert back to usd the payments, i know bitcoin is still volatile but there will be a time when this is not needed anymore.
eventually, but this is natural. big companies like this work all in fiat -- paying suppliers and overhead costs. it doesnt make sense to hold all or even most of the bitcoins. Yeah, most public companies are not going to hold bitcoins at this point in time. I'm shocked that Overstock holds 10% of the coins from its bitcoin sales, but Patrick Byrne truly understands it, and apparently he's convinced his board of directors as well! When bitcoin surges again and overstock gets the enormous gains for holding 10% in bitcoin, I'm sure the word starts to spread. Maybe, maybe not. You'd think that after the 2011 and 2013 bubbles, and the fact that BTC is still near $600 apiece, this would already be the case. But, here we are.  |

If I were going to put any time or money into mining, I would take the more speculative route and point my miners at low difficulty alts (pre-pump). You'll swing and miss plenty of times, but it seems like just a few of those massive pumps (like AUR or DRK) will more than make up for it.

Hi there. My current contract ends on June 3. If there are still spots available, I'd like to reserve one. Thank you, FXO! And hopefully see you next week. |

I got a small deposit (100€) in yesterday at Bitstamp and now they want me to answer 5 questions.
[ ... ]
Probably it is not Bitstamp that selects the unlucky customers who will get those questionnaires. There may be some agency that checks all deposits (by hand or through some algorithm) and picks the "suspicious" ones, that Bitstamp is required to question further. "Artificial intelligence" algorithms are now routinely used by banks to spot possible card theft, and by governments to spot possible tax evasion. 100E? Is this for real? I'm not gonna send money to Bitstamp again. Any fiat will go through Bitfinex for now, until better options arise. Too many reports of this. I have become too fearful that they will freeze my funds to keep money there. What if they don't like my answers? What if they try to say my coins are from SR or something? |

Maybe they figure since it is so newfangled and unproven, there is a high probability that it will fail. Kind of like a start-up venture or something. |

Hey EvilPanda, I am now a Sr. Member. Could you update the spreadsheet? Thanks!

what support level would have to break for the uptrend to be considered over or failed??
We'd have to drop below ~$450 and stay under for at least a couple days. But we're already 9 days out of the downtrend, there is good news everywhere, and sentiment is shifting to the upside. Reverting to the previous downtrend is highly unlikely. I know we broke through the down trend line / triangle, but does that mean the down trend is definitely over? Unless we enter a definitive uptrend or we enter a range (the latter we won't know until some time has passed), I'd say we are swimming in no man's land, and that the downtrend could rear its ugly head again. |

I've seen quite a bit of discussion about this, and it is definitely very exciting. Hard to say when it will affect price -- I'd have to think actual increased adoption based on it would lag quite behind the implementation, but the news could give us a spike in the short term, maybe.

I'd say adoption is most definitely increasing right now. Dying? Hardly. We are on a short term up trend, and it's just catching up. Remember: price lags the strength of the network -- the fundamental value of bitcoins.

hk baby!  Ah, I miss Honk Kong. I stayed there for 6 months helping a friend relocate and set up two businesses. I hope to visit in the next year or so. Beautiful and cosmopolitan city!! |
