This is great with all of the cards coming out.  It makes it really easy to use your bitcoins in stead of having to deal with wire transfers, 2 week waits, and other nonsense just to turn crypto back into fiat.  Maybe the fees are high right now but I hope that eventually there will be more competition and the fees will go down a little.

I am sad that there are so many people here actually who are happy at this.  It does not reflect well on you.  Many scrypt.cc customers are very stressed about this and they don't need trolls filling up this thread with hate. 

We will see, if the site is back up in a week or so, then we will see whether it is a scam this time.  But please stop blaming the victim, even if it does turn out to be a scam I don't blame the people who got hurt.  It is just evil to blame them.  You need to blame who is at fault: the hacker is the real bad guy, and if he is imaginary then the real bad guy is the company.

Let us all hope that this is not a scam and that the company will come back.  I do not hate you if you are a cc customer, I hope the best for everyone.

I don't know why this thread has accusations like this.  OK so I don't know these devs, but cmon people think about it.  Who is going to make more money, if one guy steals your .05 btc deposit, or one guy that build a successful casino with a nice volume.  Even if it is a small volume, the house edge is much better than stealing.

Anyways this site looks like it is fun, I will have to see when I get the chance.  I like that you plan to add more games too, because I am not too excited about dice, coin drop, and wheel.  Best of luck to your casino!

Wait, I don't understand, if it doubles every 2 years, it is 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, right?  It starts at 8 then doubles 10 times?  I am not so good at math, so maybe I am misunderstanding it.  But I am glad to see something move forward on this issue.

Yes there has been a run on banks in Greece last week, but afaik there is no evidence that people are putting this money into bitcoins.  There is speculations that this is the reason for the rally, but the price was depressed too far anyway and was ripe for a rally.

But thanks for this chart it is good reading.

lol, exactly.  When the fork happens it will be interesting to see the die hards make a stand and lose all of their coins until they realize that no one cares and then they will have to update too.

I think that ltc or btc isn't better, but if something happens to btc (like the fud people win, I have no idea why they want to destroy btc) then ltc is almost the same thing, it is well known and trusted, and it can step up to replace bitcoins if needed.  Otherwise since more people want to use bitcoins I guess that is the better one but it is good to have an alternative.

Sorry this talk is about bitcoins and should be here in this section.

Westin, how do you think there will be two chains?  Even if there is a second 5% chain, no one will take those coins as payment, and no one will want to mine on that chain.  Even if there are those coins they will be useless if nobody will use them.

This is a nice distribution.  This chart looks like it is from bittrex.  Does anyone know if a chart with all the exchanges and off exchange wallets are available?  Just bittrex may not show the whole picture, but it does look nice.

I didn't think about it, but getting bought out would be very nice for bitpay.  Interesting angle!

All of them?  You can just give the exchanges a fake name if you want.  I don't use any that require any type of verification, only if you want to have large transactions every day.

Yeah of course we will still have paper money but I imagine that bitcoin is very attractive for international money transfers, and it will take over as the main currency used by everyone.

Hi I made a little bit of hash yesterday, I was just wondering when the pool will pay to my wallet?  I am assuming that it is once a day, but the pool website does not say when this is.  I am not upset about it.  I am just curious.

So how does this work, you post on facebook and get paid to promote stuff?  But why do you need a deposit?  This is confusing, and suspicious.  Please edit your first post to help us understand better what this site is?  If you want to pay us why do we need to pay you first?

I would be careful playing there unless you can find a review or other evidence that it is legit.

Hi and welcome to the forums.  To me the best way to make some coins is offer a skill.  I promise that you must have some skill that you can sell here for some coin.  Or you can go to a site like fivrr where you can do almost anything and try to get someone to pay yo for it lol.  Just stay away from gambling, and also before investing in ANYTHING just make sure to read about it and find if it is a scam or not.  Unfortunately there is a lot of scams here sometimes.

Hello Lady, its good to see some more ladies here   Welcome to the forums and bitcoins!  Don't jump in too fast, there is a lot to learn.  Be careful to not get scammed, it can happen sometimes.  Basically just don't trust anyone lol.

I found for myself that coinbase is a good place to get started with buying coins.  I also have used poloniex, c cex, and bittex, and I like those too.  Have fun!

Thanks for the summery.  This is a lot of interesting news this week.  I agree to me it looks like the price will stay 245-250 for a little while, but I am no expert.

I find the p2p lending case interesting.  So I thought if there was a default it would be really hard to get the money back.  But the size of the settlement is a little puzzling to me.  Also I wonder in the future how they will price the value of bitcoins for such things, as the currency is highly volatile and any number of arguments could be made by lawyers for the price to be used.

The fork is not supposed to take place unless all of the community of nodes and miners agrees that it should.  They will have a headache to set things up but for us end users there should not be any change, except for like Microguy says, the value of the coins may suffer from fear.

For me there is a third reason, that the banks are the great Satan of our day.  If the average person bothered to find out what the banks are doing there would blood in the streets.  Assuming the average person can understand "complex" things like derivatives and bribery.

Actually I don't care to be anonymous from the government, and I will pay taxes on my bitcoin things.  I would love to dodge taxes but uncle sam has a big dick and he never uses lube.

If I ever have lots of bitcoins (knock on the wood) I will use a mixer, but this is not to hide from governments but to hide from thieves finding my personal information and trying to rob or hack me.  I hope that some day I have this problem

I like this out of the box thinking.  I am not sure that this is the best solution to the limit, if there is an increase why not just make it every block?  With this solution you are basically averaging up the block size, no?  So in stead why not just make a small increase, like make the limit 1.5 mb, or 2mb instead?  This is a really good discussion though, if we can have discussions like this without trolls and fud, then we will generate some nice ideas.  I have faith in the talent and intelligence of this community.
