Very cool gadget! Will keep using it in the future.

Bitcoin and then I'd sell some part of it for Gold to diversify!

Selling 5000 Stellars for BTC. PM me

Why don't you register an account in Justcoin and sell them from there? They even have an instand sell feature.

Used Justcoin for three days, but will avoid Justcoin going forward.

Originally, they do not charge any fees for BTC withdrawals. This justifies their very high 0.5%* trading fees.

Today, they have suddenly imposed a 25000 satoshi withdrawal fee.



* Mintpal 0.15%, Polo 0.2%, Bittrex & Cryptsy 0.25%


25K satoshi is like 15 cents, and .5% is 25 Stellar. That is a very stupid reason.

You can't deny that fees are way higher compared to industry standards.

How to implement a Bitcoin like system which works only within intranet ?

(This system should not affect or be affected by the original Bitcoin network outside)

What changes need to be done ?
Any references ?

Why would you need a decentralized system at all if you are only going to use it in an intranet? A centralised ledger should do the work!


Maybe he wants to make some tests about bitcoin, like simulating 51% attacks, simulating what would happen to transactions times when the has power is too high or too low, etc...

Why exactly do you need an intranet for this? Just create a copy paste coin and don't give anyone else the software. Boooom, own little network, works like intranet.

<snip>. If you had 100 bitcoins and the price is 10,000 USD each that is 1,000,000 USD man. That is more than enough to put into stocks/retirement account and do whatever the hell you want for the rest of your life.
<snip>

Yes, let's lock up your wealth into a retirement plan!
God knows when they pull the dollar plug and let it hyperinflate.

You would be *crazy* to put 1,000,000 into stocks or any other paper.
If you really are scared to hold that much value in bitcoins, transfer it into another tangible asset like gold, farmland, art, tools, cars, etc.

If I had 1,000,000USD right now, I would keep 10,000USD for spending, everything else in the above.
Stocks are not ultimately dependend on FIAT. Sure they would suffer extremely, but not like FIAT itself. Not having stock in your portfolio would be a huge mistake.

Bitcoins really make it too easy for retards to lose their coins. I'd bet that they wouldn't part so fast with crispy 100$ bills :p

I must say I'm surprised this transaction is still being propagated.

Seeing that it has no fee, I see no reason for nodes to relay this transaction for longer than a few hours, if at all. If it hasn't reached a miner that's prepared to mine it by that time, it likely never will.

It isn't. The only NODE i can find that still lists it is BCI... They need to get their shit together!

So it seems like all of my problems have been caused by Blockchain.info never dropping the transaction, and the apps that I have been using have all been pulling their information from blockchain.info?

Yes most likely, or your app has a memory for unconfirmed tx it sent itself.

I asked this question ages ago but i dont think anyone ever responded to it. I think its still a good question so ill ask again.

To make an analogy. If trezor is a male condom, have you guys put any thought into developing a female condom? That is to say, people who use a trezor are completely safe from having their bitcoins stolen, but what about the risk to the merchant when you plug your trezor into his system? Have you put any thought into developing a devise for merchants that would allow customers to plug their trezor into the merchants system with out any risk of a fake trezor compromising the merchant's security?

I don't think trezor is for POS terminals. Atleast that is how I understand it.

Well as it is no. That would be way to much risk to the terminals to plug god knows what into their systems. But with such a devise as was described above, they could be.

Could be implemented yes, but do you really think TREZOR will reach such an adoption that it will be neccessary?

Hard to say. Clearly it is not the case that it would be worth it now. Im just wondering if its on their radar.

It would be even easier than say credit cards. If you had one that was more analogous to your wallet than your savings account you could run it without a pin. Then you could just stick the trezor in a slot and press send if the amount was correct. It could literally be accomplished from start to finish in 2 seconds. Then you add to that all of the other advantages of bitcoin over credit cards. It could really illustrate the value proposition of bitcoin.

You would still need the PIN code. Don't really know if this would be faster.

Interesting nontheless.

By the way, for those wondering, for each BTC you hold, you will get about 1500 Stellars for free at the airdrop!

How is that figured - I mean how do they know how many btc you have? Or do you have to have it in a certain place (wallet/exchange)?

You need to have the BTC in your wallet.You should make a search in official Stellar forum.

How will this work?? In which wallet you need to have the btcs? In estellar one? If not, how they will know to who send the stellars?


They will just make you import private keys or sign a message with your private key. It is actually very easy to prove that you held funds at a specific block heigt.

Oh thankyou, i will stay tuned to it..

No problem. I am looking forward to that too!

Especially I wanna know at which block the airdrop will be. In the future or past?

Judges and juries are the only ones who have the authority to make legal conclusions. If the jury thinks that the facts show that the buyer knew the items were purchased with stolen credit cards then it would find him guilty.

Before it gets to that point a prosecutor has to judge whether it is even worth the bother, and I wouldn't think it would progress past that point. Unless you think everyone who gets a good deal selling something on Ebay should be taken to court just in case of wrongdoing, for example.

I make a wishlist on Amazon. I share it on Purse, with a discount I'm seeking from people who want to buy BTC with a credit card. An anonymous bidder accepts my offer. When the item(s) arrive I Confirm Delivery on Purse and the BTC transfers. How could a judge or jury or prosecutor think from that sequence of events that the BTC holder "knowingly" was a party to criminal activity? Might as well just arrest anyone with cash in their pockets, all bankers, etc., because their cash might once have been involved in a crime.

As I already stated, I will do my best to report any confession of illegal activity by a bidder for BTC (unlikely as that may be). I've also brought up this whole issue with Purse (including a link to this thread); I'll share what response I get if any.
What if the prosecutor were to think that you were the anonymous bidder who is simply trying to hide your tracks by used purse to use a stolen credit card?
Good question... I assume they'd be looking for some kind of evidence to back that up. They'd have to have _something_ beyond a mere suspicion to make it worthy of going to trial. And in my case there'd simply be nothing. No evidence in computer records (on my own or the ISP, etc.) nothing in my personal life, real life contacts/associates, relation to any credit card fraud victims, I'd almost certainly have alibis for the time/place of any crimes, etc. And I'd be fully cooperative since I'd have nothing to hide. So again, I couldn't see this going anywhere near a trial.
I think you would still be guilty of receiving stolen property if you bought goods with bitcoin for a discount when the goods were purchased with a stolen credit card. It would be kind of like you buying a stolen TV out of some guy's truck, brand new for 50% off what it would cost you in a store. The semantics are different but the same principles would apply.
Yeah, in a case like that where it could be documented that the funds used in the fiat purchase were stolen I'd be agreeable to making things right and returning/refunding the proceeds/items. I suspect if someone wanted to fight it, the novelty and complexity of the case would bog it down and they'd probably win on some technicality or other.
I am pretty sure that as long as it can be documented that the goods were stolen then, even if you buy them legitimately, they are still considered stolen and must be returned to the rightful owner. Generally there must be some kind of serial number or tracking number to document the fact that they were stolen.
