I would recommend Coinizy.
I have a virtual credit card there, and I think this service rocks !

You basically deposit any amount with BTC and can use the card online anywhere VISA is accepted.
No ID or verification needed up to $2500 from what I remember.

Here is their link : https://www.coinizy.com/
(Here is the same link with my ref : https://www.coinizy.com/en/?referrer=460921431 - Thank you very much if you use that one. Cheesy)

Do you still offer sets of URSS coins for sale ?

That's an interesting part of history. I'd love to have a set of these coins. Smiley

3584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Core VS Unlimited : A short summary for newcomers in this dillema on: March 20, 2017, 05:20:34 AM
You probably aren't going to get an unbiased explanation. Sorry.

There is a ton of information out there, and most of it takes more than a casual grasp of Bitcoin to even begin to understand.

If you really want to learn, you are going to have to dedicate a fair amount of time reading (and sorting through the FUD from both sides for nuggets of valuable information).

Allright.

Thanks for your reply. I'm locking that thread.
3585  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Core VS Unlimited : A short summary for newcomers in this dillema on: March 20, 2017, 04:55:50 AM
Can someone please explain, with a neutral point of view, what is all this debate about.
We know that the bitcoin network is bloated with transactions, and in consequence something must be done.

In a short summary, can you please tell the pros and the cons of the two different ways to proceed with bitcoin according to you ?
Also, what is happening ? I read a lot of shady stories ...

I didn't follow that closely but after seeing the exchanges notice forecasting a HF, I tried to dig into that topic but I only found large quantities of FUD.
Thanks in advance. Smiley
3586  Economy / Scam Accusations / [Scam attempt] user markabi tried to scam ~0.1btc with fishy auction on: March 19, 2017, 11:19:26 PM
What happened: User markabi sold at auction 0.5BTC worth of Adalso.com credit. I was the highest bidder until 4 secs before the end of auction. I was surprised when I received a PM from seller asking for payment to given address in exchange of the Adalso credit. Out of curiosity I PMed the winner of the auction and it turns out he got the same PM except for the bid amount to pay. This is clearly a scam.
A 3rd bidder also reported to have received the same PM.
If he PMed all bidders with bids above 0.01BTC as he said, he attempted to scam ~0.1BTC

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=559450

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1829473.0
Amount Scammed: Attempted to scam 0.103BTC
Payment Method: BTC
Proof of Payment:
PM/Chat Logs:
Additional Notes:

Apparently user is the owner of Adalso.com website. More users have reported this website as a scam not paying out what is owes.

EDIT : In PMs, user refused the use of an escrow. Here is the BTC address sent via PM : 1PLBNcu3tHv7LXKa77QcVLQpU7RPMtTDdU

Seller went offline.

I neg repped him. Will post a scam accusation against him.
3588  Economy / Auctions / Re: 0.5 btc funds on Adalso.com (advertising network balance) on: March 19, 2017, 10:57:57 PM
this is not scam, i will give this offer for top 3 winners.
ok then, if it's true, will finish it tomorrow.

I'll try to finish that now. I'll let you know how it went.
3589  Economy / Auctions / Re: 0.5 btc funds on Adalso.com (advertising network balance) on: March 19, 2017, 10:00:21 PM

nice one buddy  Cheesy

3591  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Poloniex lag, an ethical and highly risky problem on: March 19, 2017, 09:39:00 PM
Yup. Actually, I did the math using their API. For their USDT_BTC pair alone they make over $26k per day, which is over $9 million a year. Add in all those other markets and yeah, I think they can afford to fix their server problems, they just don't care because it's the HFT whales who make them the most money anyway, and I'm sure they all have their servers colocated next to polo's servers, so lag isn't an issue for them.

You are right. HFT whales located next to Poloniex' servers will have less delay in sending orders and executing trades than someone located in China.
On the other hand, if Polo is trying to mitigate a DDoS attack, being close to their servers doesn't change anything.

One sure think is that they should be able to take the load on. They earn enough money to have a top notch infrastructure resilient to DDoS.
However lately there have been a lot of very intense DDoS attacks tho ... Remember that attack on Dyn Dns which made websites like apple.com, spotify or netflix unavailable ?
Well ... if these companies also have troubles with such attacks, how can Poloniex prevent them ?
Check this : Someone is learning to break the internet

What Polo does is not right.
I think they should turn off margin trading during DDoS attacks but they won't make the money from it.

Thanks Yuuto for your offer, but asxs_btc already sent the funds.
I haven't received them yet. I think on monday it should be there.

I'll update the thread when I have received the transfer.

Cheers

Yeah I have it too..

I can setup that blockchain explorer except .. We need to sync it to the correct blockchain.
Yobit shows a wallet synced to a 1785366th block. We need to sync to the same one.

When I launch the client, without bootstrap, it just sits there and won't sync further. :/
3594  Economy / Lending / Re: €550 loan request. [Physical collateral] on: March 16, 2017, 03:02:34 PM
I have recieved the coins from yogg Smiley

@asxs_btc: you can send the loan to yogg.

Kind regards,
PB

Ohh .. What a relief !!  Cheesy
That tracking number doesn't seem to work: when I query it, it shows the parcel at my local post office.  Undecided

Thank you very much PB !

Yep. Looks like it's down.

I PMed Coin Dropper about 9 hours ago when my VPS timed out to no reply.
3597  Economy / Services / Re: where could I rent a vps server with Bitcoin payment. on: March 15, 2017, 04:04:42 AM
Hey buddy !

I can only recommend Coin Dropper's service.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1823368.0

I'm testing one of his VPSes for a few days, and so far so good.
I will post a more detailed review on his thread quite soon. Smiley
3598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [CAPT] CAPTcoin on: March 14, 2017, 11:09:41 PM
My blkindex.dat file is about 1.11 Gb. Tomorrow morning I think I can upload all files needed to download the blockchain.

Thanks ! Smiley I want to try that.

My wallet and Yobit's are on a different block heights.

Also, I tried a 10 CAPT test transaction, it didn't went through.
http://imgur.com/ZECo13n

I believe I'm on a wrong chain since people here have no trouble to deposit to Yobit, and I can't.
Anyway, I'll put the blockchain to download on the blockchain explorer VPS. We'll see where that leads us. Smiley
That would be a shame to end up with the wrong chain.
3599  Economy / Lending / Re: **REQUEST LOAN - Newbie(lurker before)** on: March 14, 2017, 09:23:14 PM
can I request for it to be deleted mods? or locked..

Yes, you can lock it at the bottom of the screen.

But at least I'm glad you got your account created. Smiley
You're not a lurker anymore, and can contribute to the forum.
Please excuse the harsh welcome.
3600  Economy / Lending / Re: **REQUEST LOAN - Newbie(lurker before)** on: March 14, 2017, 08:46:33 PM
If you've been a lurker before, then you know about the The Rule of "No Collateral, No Loan".
As far as I know, a Paypal account is not considered as a valid collateral and the amount of the loan is pretty big for a user with a newbie account whose one and only post is the loan request ...

What parts of the forum have you been watching ? Doesn't seem like the lending subforum was part of that ...
