1601  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Currency Symbol Emoji ? on: November 28, 2019, 09:24:04 AM
yes but it is not on mobile keyboard as an emoji, as I said which emoji could be the best to indicate Bitcoin ?

only emoji please in your opinion
You don't need a different Unicode character as an emoji for Bitcoin for it to be supported on mobile. iOS already supports it, that's most of consumer phones in the west already. Also, remember that since Bitcoin has a Unicode character, it's usability on mobile depends on your individual system preferences. You could use a different keyboard and/or system font. Also contact manufacturers and developers to include it in mainline versions.

₿ is the unicode symbol for bitcoin. You can read the specific here, in more detail than you might need:

1603  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed by 999dice on: November 27, 2019, 08:57:51 PM
That website has a long and dodgy history. It's very surprising that it's still up and running in my opinion.

See this post from 2015:

How 999dice.com is stealing your coins, and exactly why you won't believe me

TL;DR, bets there are not verifiable in a way or standard as other -actually fair- dice sites allow for. Stay away from it like it's the plague. It's sad people keep being scammed by admins of that site.

Each person holding crypto might have very different needs, incomes or ways to spend their time. I'd say, along the lines of BTC being the most permissive form of money, everybody is free to use it as they please. Profit might be the goal, or maybe not. Who knows what obscure reasoning might be behind each individual's decision to hold crypto, but there's very little to be done about it.  Cheesy
1605  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Which US presidential candidate is the lesser evil for BTC? on: November 27, 2019, 03:41:33 PM
Undoubtedly Andrew Yang is the number one pro-bitcoin candidate for 2020 presidential elections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Yang
Though his chances may be less even among the democratic, he'd be a voice of pro-crypto lobby in the presidential debate.
And he is accepting donations in bitcoin.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/47382/2020-us-presidential-hopeful-andrew-yang-details-his-plan-to-regulate-crypto-at-a-national-level

https://cointelegraph.com/news/andrew-yangs-pac-accepting-donations-in-btc-via-lightning-network

Can't agree more.

And considering his UBI policy...It could be carried out as intented benefitting most people in US, otherwise it could deal a heavy blow to US dollars which will benefit BTC. A good bet I'd say.
I edited the OP to comment on Yang also.

In regards to UBI, I would argue that the central government handing money to such a wide scale is too much of an interventionist policy and would undoubtedly devalue government money. It gets too complicated and my knowledge in macroeconomics is too limited to further comment on a matter that economists are still debating. But I believe that with a less powerful but more distributed central currency, the effects on bitcoin could be questionable.
It's a double edged sword. More cash around and more people holding it, yet less overall monetary strength. The declining value might drive incentive to spend and invest, but crypto prices could fluctuate even more given that even the currency they're compared to could become more volatile now. Maybe this could be a disincentive to put money in crypto, other than let's say gold or other non-cash assets.
1606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Mobile Mining exists at all? on: November 24, 2019, 04:16:34 PM
We all know that mobile phones are a delicate pieces of gadgets. As mining is a hectic task for computers, the devices we use should be able to sustain the load and be equally worth of resources at the same time. So for such a task, indeed they will serve us for a shorter period of time when we compare their service time with a PC.

There are some coins which can also be mined with mobile and one of those coins is ELECTRONEUM. I have read the reviews made by different users of electroneum mining app and they concluded that they get approx 5-6 electroneum coins per day. So with current market price it is less than 100 sat a day with internet, electricity and wear tare costs of the device. If why would someone risk the smartphone for just 6 elec a day?

So why companies advertise their coins with describing mobile mining as a benefit? Make your coin enough valuable that miners leave other coins for your coin mining. Or otherwise companies should leave this idea.

Trying to mine a crypto from mobile is a suicidal act for the hardware.
Electroneum on the other hand is not mining through mobile. It's just a mining simulator. It's an Electroneum faucet that gives you the sense of mining from mobile. It's not a resource heavy app. Pi is a similar app that uses virtual mining to give you rewards in their tokens.
Funny if you consider how much Electroneum tries to make it look like they are the coin for mobile mining.

In my experience, another issue is algo security. You can't claim that an algo can be mined only with mobile CPUs and be 100% sure about it, or that it'll never be abused or cracked, unless it's some closed source disaster of course.
1607  Economy / Economics / Re: Can online platforms like Youtube and Facebook really be decentralized? on: November 24, 2019, 04:13:37 PM
To be honest, I think the use of p2p technology is perfectly well suited to some applications for video streaming. Streaming video is too resource intensive and services that need reliability better than youtube are already utilizing the resources of their users to spread their content and reduce usage of their servers' bandwidth and processing power. For this, we are already seeing major providers such as TV channels using it in their websites. We don't need a cryptocurrency attached to these IMHO. If somebody wants to watch free content online, then contributing some bandwidth could be an option.

Sorry to say so, but I think technical analysis is most useless for such a prediction. It doesn't ring a bell to me that OP attached a link to promote something of his own after such a long wall of text that mostly consists of nonsense. Fake it till you make it.  Grin

If you are not going to help me, you can just restrict yourself to post here please.
Thank you

I have been trying to help you with various questions since the beginning of October. Every single question you asked, I tried to answer. But now, you are really trolling the forum dude, your questions don't make sense, your issues don't make sense. It's completely unnecessary for you to post new threads every now and then. Please don't.
Maybe this is a very unorthodox attempt to rank an account, perhaps trying to spread some malware in the process too? It could be that OP think naive users would download a .exe file if he made it look that he's naive about private keys.

OP, please can you break the link? Maybe add another symbol to replace the dot or something so it's not clickable. Linking to the website actually helps them rank in search engines.

1612  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Tesla sources cobalt from Democratic Republic of Congo on: November 23, 2019, 10:32:26 AM
It's the sad truth of any new tech that has to use certain minerals. They're most likely coming from places with horrible working conditions, child labor, people are dying while mining these things, and so on and so forth.

Though Tesla is trying to find a way to not have to rely on precious metals such as Cobalt -- see here (https://www.theverge.com/2018/6/21/17488626/elon-musk-cobalt-electric-vehicle-battery-science) as I think he's the one thats single handidly draining the supply of Cobalt. So, that probably isn't too cheap.
It's not the sad truth about any new technology, they're just after profits so they go after the cheapest raw materials. Sourcing from ethical mines is perfectly possible. Tesla isn't the only company that doesn't check on its supply chain, but they sure could do better than use Congolese mines.
1613  Other / Meta / Re: [BCT FACT] Bitcointalk was originally on Bitcoin.org but ... drama on: November 22, 2019, 07:39:44 PM
Thanks for this piece of history. It's nice to have the background on how things came to be with bitcointalk. Maybe it's just me, but bitcointalk continues to give an eerie vibe of discovery with its obscurity still... The unorthodox design, the technobabble that members talk about... Everything from top to bottom with this forum, at least to me, still looks and feels geeky to me.

Unless this campaign has some BTC reward, I don't think it should be in the services board.

Also recommended to the campaign managers would be to utilize some trusted escrow if they'd like to earn the trust of the forum users.

Happy birthday to the forum that came with Bitcoin, what many call one of the most important inventions of our generation.

Given the unregulated nature of cryptocurrency and how commercialized everything around it has become, I believe the administration of this website deserves a special congratulations for keeping the forum up and running for 10 years with so much interest and

It's amazing to me how uniquely this community has developed, with it's own web of trust and unique forum features, all built on a forum engine with a design many would call outdated. And yet, there still is a constant influx of users sustained in the very same forum satoshi first talked about bitcoin.
1616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptocurrency market continues to blood shed on: November 22, 2019, 12:34:11 PM
Boy, seeing BTC fall more than 10% isn't new but certainly doesn't look or feel nice. People I think got tired of waiting for a new bull run and now we're going to see some real correction from the all time highs if a bear market starts. I think resistance is weak at this point.
1617  Economy / Reputation / Re: Quickseller's off topic ramblings from Chipmixer thread on: November 22, 2019, 11:56:36 AM
I'd rather avoid naming names but I don't think animosity is useful to anyone... The forum's web of trust and merit system appear to be points of conflict for some of the top accounts, which I can't help but state that it makes me sad. I've seen top figures be caught up in drama for no good reason here over the years. It's obvious many of these people have the capabilities to be really creative, teach the world or in general leave something positive behind in some way or capacity. LoyceV is in my view spending a lot of his time to utilize his knowledge and resources building tools useful to forum users, something which I find very admirable. I wish more users of this forum would follow that principle and use their energy to be helpful instead of being ready to take any offense and stir up drama at all times.

IMO it'd be better if this community paid little to no attention to drama, and instead looked down upon immature behaviors. I'm tired of 'drama-lama' threads pilling up pages upon pages of responses, especially if it concerns old-time members.

1620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Reddit add Bitcoin as a payment method for their Reddit coins? on: November 21, 2019, 05:07:16 PM
To be honest, I don't want this to happen again. Let them add whatever shitcoins certain communities want them to, but the Reddit crowd is already crypto-aware enough. The exposure isn't going to reach many people that don't know bitcoin. Plus, Reddit used to accept BTC anyway... The selling pressure IMO would do more damage. If they add altcoins only it's going to create volumes in crypto BTC markets which is better than just BTC/FIAT selling pressure.
