I don't think you have read the past few posts if you really are going to agree with OP without addressing any of the issues everyone else has been bringing up about the fees being tied to a fiat value. Sure, it might be possible, but at least the way OP proposes it is an absolutely abysmal idea. It diverges from the concept of free market and does not address many of the issues that are solved by miners being able to prioritize transactions by their value. I suggest you start reading posts in a thread before you reply yourself.

While I don't believe that I tried this method ever or vouched for it, I did warn about the likeliness of these various methods of obtaining Adobe CC lifetime licenses being cracked down on by Adobe. These methods in fact lasted longer than I thought they would, but with a recent change in their terms of service and them actively looking for volume licenses being abused, it was definitely not going to last much longer anyway. The only true way to obtain a lifetime Adobe product is to buy one of their products before the CC line came out (such as Adobe Creative Suite 6 or earlier) or obtain it legitimately through another organization such as your school or workplace, where they might have valid volume licenses that do follow the Adobe ToS.

I have been using this work for a while now and it works pretty well. I would like to suggest that the feature be added to be able to set price alerts at the exact prices that you want. For example, an alert for when Bitcoin passes $10,000 rather than just a relative alert based on the initial price at which the user created the alert. Other than that, I really like that your bot links each cryptocurrency's name to its corresponding chart in CoinMarketCap. I was not aware that such a thing could be done in Telegram at all without having the explicit URL showing.

I am no expert, but it could have been partly influenced through cooperation with miners or by using one of those transaction accelerators that let you pay for a transaction to go through. A clever way I could see such scam going is Person A requesting bitcoin from Person B followed by Person B creating 2 transactions: the expected one with a fee low enough to not get mined immediately but high enough to be expected to be mined eventually, and the actual one with a very low fee that one would not expect to get accepted. After this, Person B colludes with a miner or pays a transaction accelerator to include the second transaction, which would be pointing towards his own wallet, inside a block. This would mean a successful double spend where the expected transaction never gets confirmed.

I have finished a few economics courses in my university before and I highly doubt this is something you wouldn't be able to do yourself. Unless you literally spent the entire semester completely ignoring the course, you should not find the material to be hard. An introductory course to economics is something that even high schools offer as an early college elective nowadays.

Regardless, how long is the quiz and how much time do you expect it to take? I am not planning to do this for you myself, but this kind of information is expected if you want to strike a deal with someone.

You say that these stickers are obtained from laptops from factories. Wouldn't this mean that once you sell the product keys in these stickers to other people both here and on Kinguin that the owners of those laptops will get screwed out of their license? Also, if the actual owners bring it up with Microsoft, it is very likely that the ones that the buyers get will get deactivated since only one computer is allowed to be using any one license at any one time. Seems like a break of Microsoft's ToS and possibly illegal.

Just to be clear, while this team has the word "Lightning" in the name of the project, this is not actually the lightning network that has been talked about previously in regard to the main Bitcoin blockchain, correct? Even one of the commenters on the article was confused about this. I automatically assume this is the case with this project since not even the development team has been released to the public, which is something the main Bitcoin dev team would certainly do quickly. Furthermore, will a hard fork be required even with the actual lightning network or is it just for separation measures that this developer team has decided to do it instead of collaborating on the main chain? I am certainly wondering whether this fork might be a change from all the scam forks that have been coming out, but I won't get my hopes up.

Huh, I don't quite get it. Aren't upgrades from Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 to Windows 10 already free for their corresponding editions? Furthermore, assuming that they are not, how are you obtaining these codes? Looking at the picture that you took of the sticker with the product key for a Windows activation on it, it looks like you are taking the product keys of already existing branded computers (although I could be wrong). This means that if you sell the key to someone else, the installation of Windows on the original computer would get deactivated and you would get the watermark for the deactivated copy of Windows. This would effectively mean that you would be selling stolen goods. If I am wrong in my assumptions, then please explain what the actual source of the codes is, as I haven't even heard of this kind of upgrade codes before.

I am no lawyer, but I believe that your case and the legality of them suspending your account and blocking access to your funds is going to depend on the local laws of whichever jurisdiction you reside in. Ironically, it is in situations like this that your government and their willingness to regulate exchanges and to help customers come into play. Bringing in official authorities also brings complications, though. You need to prove that you are the rightful owner of the funds if you wish to pursue legal compensation for your suspended account and are most likely to have to prove to officials the source of your Bitcoins. If you bought these through some exchange using fiat, this should be no problem at all, but do know that it will be recognized for tax purposes and other official matters. Good luck.

Do remember that right now a good part of the reason why the fees are higher than usual is because of the very high trading volumes in exchanges right now as Bitcoin slowly (but surely) rises. This might keep going for a while until the price settles back down. Even so, while smaller chips may not be efficient to use alone, they can still be used in combination to denote smaller values which may be used more frequently than before because of the increasing price. On the other hand, combining chips does decrease the privacy and anonymity of the mixing transaction.

In addition to that link to figure out what fee you should use, you should also check out the blockchain.info mempool size graphs at https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size. Looking at these on a 1-day and 7-day range can help you figure out when the mempool is at the smallest size. You can then start to see a pattern with which you can determine what days of the week and what times you should be transacting bitcoins in order to pay the smallest possible fee. This does become kind of annoying, but it is the best possible thing you can do at the moment. Do note that right now the current graphs might not help much as the real reason the network is so congested at the moment is because of the sudden surge in popularity due to the price approaching $10K. Any other time, this method works quite well.

As Thekool1s described, such a system would require a consensus. It would be impossible to implement such system if even a single of the miners disagree with it, which given how you described it to be is actually very likely. Right now, the fees you pay for a transaction to be executed simply put you at a certain priority in the mempool. Miners then (usually) grab those with the highest priority, which would be the ones paying the highest fees. The system would simply interfere with this already natural supply-and-demand transaction flow. Another issue would be how to handle transactions when the mempool is overflowing? How do you prioritize transactions over others? Any possible solution would bring issues. For example, if miners processed transactions by age, the waiting time or delay for transactions to be processed would be enormous during times in which the network is congested. A first-come-first-serve basis is not always ideal, especially when it comes to financial transactions which may have real levels of priorities.

Hello, there. Do you happen to sell any audiobooks? I have been looking for some to listen to-- none in particular, but I have not been able to find any sourced outside of Audible which has a fairly significant membership fee for what you actually get (which is more of their own channels and podcasts rather than actual audiobooks). If so, I could be quite interested in a few, but I do not see them listed anywhere on the thread, which leads me to believe that you do not actually offer them. Go ahead and PM me if you do, however.

Hey. Is there any reason you created another thread instead of posting or bumping the old one you made in this same exact section? It almost feels like the reason you did so was to avoid answering the questions asked of you in the previous thread. I also remember a third thread, but I am not sure if you actually were the author of that one.

Regardless, for reference, this is the old thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2460994

Actually, I just checked his post history and he has made quite a few threads all selling the same thing. Not sure why. Perhaps you can answer the questions posted in the other threads instead of just ignoring them?

For example...

As someone who uses Coinbase somewhat regularly to buy and sell bitcoins, why wouldn't I? It has way better rates than any other service available to me and has a very nice interface and is very easy to use. I know of no other exchange that allows people inside the U.S. to easily trade buy bitcoins at such low fees. If you look at alternatives such as LocalBitcoins, you'll see that these usually require trades to go through annoying processes such as converting into gift cards or prepaid cards instead of sending or receiving actual cash for the traded bitcoins. Furthermore, while the bitcoins are not technically owned by you since you do not have access to their private keys, they do seem to care about giving out the proceeds from any forks. While I do understand the reasoning behind not using Coinbase as a wallet, as an exchange it is actually very convenient and I still have not been able to justify any of the complaints that others have about them.

You do realize that even if it is as you say and there is no ulterior motive for buying old bitcoin addressess off others that the other party will still have access to the old address's private key, correct? Even if your true motive really is to just collect the addresses, you are technically just sharing it, really. Furthermore, would you be willing to take old addresses that are no longer eligible for CLAMs, in that case? I'm just trying to clear the air, here.

Are you looking for suggestions to add a server to an existing location or to add a server to a new location? In the former case, in my experience, Switzerland is one of the best locations you could possibly add servers to. I know for a fact that many people, especially those in Europe, use Switzerland along with the Netherlands for their VPN. In the latter case, I would like to suggest adding different locations inside Russia. Different places in Russia can result in much different latencies out of the sheer size of the country.

I don't know why people have been getting on DarkStar's case so much recently, so I'll just say that I have never had a better campaign manager and that he seems reasonable given all current circumstances such as when he had to make a 2-week period rather than a single week when he had to be out of town. Furthermore, the amount of money he has escrowed through this campaign alone is extraordinary and I have always been paid on time and will keep updating my trust on him. I would not listen to those butthurt about being unable to join this campaign.

I would have posted this on his reputation thread but it seems to be mostly dead.

What is the source of these "keys?" Are they provided as legitimate keys and is their use within the terms of service of HideMyAss? The last thing I want is for the key to be revoked at some point during the time of service leaving me without any VPN or any money. If the resale of these keys is allowed, I would be completely down for buying a couple of these, as the last seller that was selling these was way too sketchy and did not want to use escrow or go first (or even answer all of the inquiries asked of him).

That is perfectly fine; I doubt that I will be needing more than 5 ports at any time in the near future and definitely do not need any of the common under-1024 ports that are usually reserved for better known services. I will be trying out the service early next week and will report back soon after. I support any small businesses which avoid the use of corporate software.
