Yes.

Bitcoin shines a light on how silly Know-your-customer laws are. Banks face large fines for failing to report certain transactions. Banks sometimes find it easier to just say "no" to businesses (and individuals) using Bitcoin.

The arb is like a faucet, but the risk is greater, you will loss once the price balance.

That's exactly what it is and the main point of this thread. Somehow, that logic seems to elude a plethora of bitsheep and their perpetual bleating of trying to turn any events surrounding BTC into great news.

- mtgox hacked, millions of $ lost: great news
- centralization of mining: great news
- BTC price crash: more cheap coins
- rampant scamming in BTC: it's the victim's fault
- government regulation: to da moon, best news ever
- illicit marketplaces: drug dealers are like robin hoods of crypto

Now I'm not saying that every news regarding btc is bad. It's just that some people here try to twist everything to look favourable for btc when it's obvious that isn't the case.

Back to reality, now it is only 0.059% and keep going down,  so it is time to cancel my order and withdraw BTC

For me the average rate (last 90 days): 0.0247% is too low

anyone who thinks bitcoin has already hit its full potential is delusional.
the market for bitcoin is the entire world, how many people have them? almost none.
anyone who is lucky enough to understand bitcoin today and be in a position to buy it is going to be extremely rich in 20 years.

the current paper money regime is not going to last for much longer, its been collapsing for the past 14 years and is now on life support in the form of permanent zero interest rates.
the only alternatives are precious metals and bitcoin.
i'd like to see you buy something on ebay with gold, bitcoin is the only option for honest money in the modern world.

You don't know the year you registered your account.
Once you deleted all the post, the account will drop down to newbies making the legendary status useless.

This might be a smart scam. 1 BTC for a newbies account. No refunds

I'm not U.S. citizen. But apparently what Uncle Sam does has global influence.
So... Read in the newspaper, U.S. QE3 ended. Is this a good or bad news for BTC price?

Exactly. He was very probably victim of a man-in-the-middle attack, TOR exit node detected he want to establish HTTPS connection to blockchain.info, served him phony HTTP site instead, took over his credentials and established HTTPS connection to the real site instead of him. Goodbye bitcoins. It's unbelievable he detected that he was served HTTP instead HTTPS connection and still thinking he was accessing the actual site. You should not use TOR if you do not understand what are you doing.

Well that is 1 nice thing you get for having some good feedback/trust...you do not have to send first! I rarely have to use escrow anymore most people just send first then I pay later.

Funny, how BFL decided to take this page off their official site, now only available via TWM: http://web.archive.org/web/20140626111927/https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage/nimbus-mining.html

NimbusMining ordered millions of dollars worth of Monarchs, just like their sister company, HashTrade, did, and BFL was gung-ho in providing their number one purchaser kudos, yet later discontinued the practice.

I wonder why.

Your argument is that Primedice is trash because we are trying to keep trolls/spammers out of the chat and found an effective means to do so. Seriously though, it isn't hard to reach 0.0001 wagered simply by claiming faucet for a few minutes.

The amount of people that use primedice a day is probably 10x any other dice site right now, before we put in chat limits the amount of spam in chat was unmanagable. This limit isn't to make money but rather to heavily discourage ref link spam as someone would have to spend either a few minutes playing the faucet or deposit/play for a small amount before being able to post a link once and then get muted.


There are a lot of legitimate complaints about primedice, yours is not one.

I got an answer from Bitstamp saying that they will include my suggestions to the discussion of how to improve their services next time. That's all, I guess they didn't reactivate my withdraw possibilities so I'm pretty much done with Bitstamp.

However, I tested out localbitcoins for the first time last week and today I completed my first trade. I sold 10 euros worth of bitcoins to the user cortex and received the money as a SEPA transfer on the second banking day. My account in localbitcoins is Hyena by the way. So anyone who is having trouble with Bitstamp I recommend you use localbitcoins because they have made it really simple, no verification is needed. If you have used SR or BMR in past then you are already familiar with the way localbitcoins operates. The really cool thing about localbitcoins was that they have automatic SMS sending, so I actually receive an SMS immediately when my order is filled or needs my attention.

Have you actually read about Trezor?  From what I've read, the wallet is only on the device, and at the very least, a PIN (entered on the device) is needed to spend from it.  It is possible to also require a password (definitely entered on the computer) to spend from it.  I think that probably actually qualifies as 2FA but is even better than most.  Typically, for 2FA, you enter your password and the second factor that you receive via a separate conduit (that is sometimes on the same computer) both through the computer.  In this case, the second factor isn't random (so you don't need to receive it), but it isn't entered on the computer (so malware can't collect it).  Technically, there is also a paper backup to regenerate the wallet on a replacement Trezor, but the PIN and password are required for that to work, too.  I may not be remembering exactly right, and the configuration step may be a weak point if I am remembering incorrectly.  Moreover, persons could argue that it isn't 2FA, but "physical access to your wallet file" doesn't seem like a real possibility on a Trezor unless the device can be taken apart and the wallet data extracted from it.  I'm not sure whether or not this is possible without a password (PIN may be used for basic encryption), but it would certainly be less possible with a password since the Trezor doesn't know or use the password (computer deals with that, I think via encryption on the Trezor).

so do you suppose that sending bitcoin to bitstamp is not  secure because transaction may be lost? By now I got both payments perfectly every week for months.. So have I to get a couple of addresses on blockchain and change payout address on pbmining? May I get my lost payment someway or may I get transaction code to check about it? thanks
