Thats a good news if its really going to happen ..because lost of us ..are sending money to someone or any reason why you send your money...but as for my experienced in sending bitcoin to my sister its actually cheaper already than the bank..when you send money bank to bank the transanction fee you will going to pay us depends on how much money you will going to send .but my experience in bitcoin the higher your bitcoin you'll going to send the lower the transaction fee ....and its really very very goo for my first time experience..
I can relate to that. Especially sending money across the world. Western Union have some serious fun with some of their offers. Have a look at this, done literally today: Sending £1000 to Brazil from Europe. They take £19.90 here just for their 'services'. [...] Now lets look at 'their' exchange rate offered. They are taking an incredible £75 just about here as well. [...] So I lose just about £95 ($133) here. How much would doing the same be in Bitcoin?  Sure that Bitcoin is competitive to do money transfers and it always has been, even while the fees were unacceptibly high. Because those high fees, when compared to Western Union and the likes of it, were still lower (!) What is still unclear, is if Bitcoin can be an alternative to card transactions. When you buy a cap of coffee with your card, the transaction fee is a few cents only, and it is the same with Bitcoin now. For Bitcoin to be successful in a long run, it must guarantee that low fees not temporarily, but permanently, I think. Sure, I know that the LN is coming, but I am not crazy about its services. We'll see. |

It is a strange list, I am surprised to see McAffee above Winklevoss twins, I am really surprised with number 1 person, and I am outraged with not seeing Satoshi Nakamoto on the list.
Maybe you should drop the numbers from your list and do it alphabetically with bullet points instead?

i tried to google aur files mid-Jan but I was not successful, anyway, as I said many times, I was doubtful to that idea. You should have come forward with that autorealm idea when I posted that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766000.msg28336592#msg28336592  Now it is definitely too late for any new ideas and I hope to hear from the winner soon! If there was a map - we'll know it. |

If the morse/the_____isthekeyfile is apart of the solution I'm going to be slightly pissed unless there's a reasonable explanation on how to get to that point besides brute forcing.
no it is not, don't frustrate yourself  (I may look really stupid if it is) Let's just wait for the solution guys  I wanted to say that if somebody wants to give it a quick try, there is still the BTG for the taking, but I verified that there is none. It had been emptied midnight sharp. Congratulations to the winner! Are you one of the puzzle authors? what makes you think I may be one? would I say "I will look really stupid if it is" if I were the author? I just think it was a coincidence, as does RealOnTheMF, and that's it. anyway, we'll shortly know this way or the other. |

Hi there is this greatest (in terms of media coverage, fund raising capability, and recognition, and also in terms of the good they do) charity in Poland which is called Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (Great Orchestry of Christmas Charity). It seems that the event for last year is already over, but they accept bitcoin and I have learnt about it only now. I highly recommend it for your consideration next year. OR, you might want to contact Jerzy Owsiak, he is a very recognized person in Poland, and support his fundation mid-year. They do a lot of good stuff for sick kids in Poland, providing public hospitals with very expensive equipment for newborns and supporting health-care and life support for the newborns with their funds. https://bitbay.net/en/crowdfunding/great-orchestra-of-christmas-charity-2018Thanks! |

It's impossible. First due pseudoanonymous nature of Bitcoin, second due the impossibility of accurately establishing the economic nature of transactions (trading, sending, outputs integration, etc.).
I think it's better for the government to take the tax when fiat money withdrawing through exchange, maybe even when buying goods (taking into account the amount of fiat money entered into the system).
exactly that they are doing - they are applying the tax when the bitcoin is exchanged to fiat. It is called a capital gains tax. So why are you saying it is impossible in your first paragraph, if they are effectively doing it and you yourself admit it? |

Hi everyone, When is a good age to teach kids about crypto? Any suggestions on how to go about it? thanks my experience with kids is that they catch the new technology stuff extremely fast so I don't think you need to actually teach them about crypto, when they are around long enough they will soon know better and more about crypto than you do and then they will teach us |

I planning to learn bitcoin mining, but is it too late / not worth to mine bitcoin now ?
if you are at a planning stage, then research options like altcoins mineable with GPUs too. Bitcoin is currently not mineable with GPUs. What you need to consider is not only the equipment cost (be it GPU rigs or ASICS) but the difficulty (both current and future estimates), electricity costs and obviously future prices. There are calculators available that do the calculations for you and can tell you when in future you will have the break even point. Google them. |

Anyone taken part in the airdrop?
I like some of the concept behind it. Limited supply, store of value.
What's people's view. Anyone like to take a guess at potential market cap on this fork?
oh right, so you liked concepts like limited supply and store of value. Please share, what NEW concepts you liked. |

Mimble Wimble seems to have solved many bitcoin problems, like block size dillema (that either you have large blocks and blockchain size becomes enormous, or you have small blocks and transaction fee price becomes enormous) with Mimble Wimble is solved in that way that they just store the addresses that have coins in them, not all transactions like bitcoin. But I have no current news unfortunately.

@Itod, so in your opinion the "The_____iskeyfile" message is the intended message?
Well, I have a theory didn't want to mention before while trying to find the proof. The message "THE fm_aurISKEYFILE" can hardly be a collision, and the bold scrambled part is intentionally left there to be de-scrambled in the same way other bit-streams should be de-scrambled to get a key. If you come across the stream of bytes from private key you may not notice something is scrambled, but if you find something like plaintext quoted above it's pretty obvious something is wrong. So to answer you: yes I think it's intentionally left there scrambled/corrupted to show the way. Anything can be the way to de-scramble it in a coherent message. The current path I'm working are the chessboard fields affected by Phoenix fire. It looks to me that those chessboard fields that should be dark are somehow lighter with this bright blue Phoenix color then the white ones, so some bits associated with those chessboard fields should be inverted in raw bit-streams. I believe if we invert some bits from the "THE fm_aurISKEYFILE" bit-stream, in this way I've described, we will get coherent message from this bit-stream, and then we should apply this same transformation to colors bit-streams to get the private key. AUR makes me think of Arch User Repository. Maybe there is a package in there that has some information? Was there more than just this string in the output? I am sceptical to the whole idea of it being the intended message, but still - to be on the safe side I entertained this idea for a while and thought that if we were looking for a file then maybe the fm.aur was the name of the file. I googled some results but nothing very constructive, though. But maybe somebody else will be more lucky. |

It's gonna be hard to actually cash it out anonimously. At some point it will go through a bank or something and your name is gonna be in there. If you keep it in crypto is going to be anonimous. no no, you are not right. It can be sold anonimously. You sell it for cash (on localbitcoins as others have suggested) and that is that, the trail is broken at that point |

It depends if you make more money from cryptocurrency than you make from your current job, then there no shame quitting your job.
I agree with you. But if you can do both then do it. I do have a full time job and yet find a way to still do some work with bitcoin. It gives more income to me. But there are things that I do not know with bitcoin so my earnings are limited. So if you have many things that you know to earn bitcoin then do it. Are you maybe participating in signature campaigns (YoBit maybe ? ) while at the same time being on your regular job ? Bad boy! |

Each day I wake up and there's a possibility of a new fork in Bitcoins, initially it all seemed fun you get new coins but now it's a pain to keep track of forks. First Bcc happened, then Bitcoin gold. Now there is news coming of a silver and platinum fork, just the other day Liza was supposed to come and segwit2x is already waiting in the wings. How does one keep a track of this forks and are there any other ones may have missed, this effects btc prices a lot, anyway to keep a track of them.
I recently noticed that a wiki page (the one that you can routinely google) is well updated with recent fork info. I guess, it is in the best interest of fork devs to update it so they do it and we all can benefit |

I heard that bitcoin is controlled by we users and miners, so I wonder what would happen if all the bitcoin miners stop mining bitcoin?. I'm curious to know what would happen to bitcoin.  haha they would lose the tons of profit they are making (while the hardware operates only) not mentioning all the money they dumped to buy the hardware. And we are taking here about facilities worth millions of dollars. So while we can toy with discussing such topics, it is like discussing the total impossibility. Indeed the miner has more to lose than us holders vecause miners are handling all of the expenses the electricity, maintenance of equipments, rent if you have a mining rig and lastly the salaries of workers. Although the miners have a choice to mine on bitcoins or switch on to the other cryptocurrencies but due mining reward the miners wouldn't let the opportunity slip intp their hands especially the block reward. you know the moment some miners stop mining a given currency the difficulty goes down and at the same time the profits (expressed in that currency) go up for the same effort. So they really can't stop mining bitcoin and start mining something else, because a few moments later they will be losing a lot of profit |

maybe it is not a question of "more", but rather of "sufficient". If you can make sufficient money, than you may consider quitting the current job, especially if the new one (i.e. new=related to crypto) is more fulfilling |

Actually the kids and teenagers are the best audience to learn about bitcoins. It is grown-ups who must be *thought* about new technologies, and kids know it immediately when it is presented to them. They actually don't have to learn about it, it is enough to show it and its potential and immediately they are caught.
