the whole thing is just an elaborate ruse.

if craig handed over wallets in this manner, ira would have immediately moved the coins. if the coins are inaccessible, then the point is moot anyway. so until i see 2009 coins moving on the blockchain, i don't buy these outlandish tales.

Doesn't he get his untold riches when the tulip trust sends the bonded courier who might have some part of some key if he can find some woman he's never met or heard of on January 1st?

Not long now.

Boy, am I nervous.

If you're looking for IOS wallets, your best 2 bets are likely:

Mycelium: pretty safe, but not as attractive as apps like Coinbase and blockchain.info, I believe they have support for bech32 addresses.

Absolutely no one should consider Mycelium for Apple. It's been abandoned for several years now. It's great for Android but it should really be pulled for Apple as it's a liability unless they start to develop it again.

If there were UK banking options it would be my first choice but perhaps OP has been directed to another site because they only have a handful of coins.

New users should be aware of their fee structure.

The app charges more than the website. Also you have to contact support and ask for active trader status which will reduce your website fees further. They won't change it unless you specifically ask.
2984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The One Thing That Could Stop Bitcoin on: October 27, 2019, 11:13:36 AM
Only one thing i know that could stop bitcoin if internet connection has stop in the whole world bitcoin will die because no one can open there wallet.
That is only my thought and i think its never been happen that one.

It is now broadcast over satellites, though I think it's receive only, and I remember experiments with broadcasting it over TV or radio waves in Finland. I expect internet free from centralised hubs to grow as well.

And if the internet is down as a whole bitcoin will be a minor concern.
2985  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-10-18] Bitcoin Has Failed But Global Stablecoins a Threat, Say BIS and G7 on: October 27, 2019, 11:05:40 AM
In the end, people want Bitcoin to be usable as daily currency therefore needs a stable price, but they also want to see the price moon therefore needs a very volatile price. It's very much contradicting.

To me at least the people calling for it to be a currency are a weedy voice warbling in the dark compared to the roar of those wanting mad gainz. And others who do say they want it to be a stable currency eventually will lose all interest if it ever did become that.

All the stuff big bucks is building points purely to it being treated as an asset. Maybe it's a phase that needs fully playing out out, then it becomes a store of value then it becomes a currency, but I reckon it'll always be an asset primarily.
2986  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Rogue Wave on: October 27, 2019, 09:24:31 AM
No, I havent. But were not these coins in several different wallets?
If CSW have them stored in a hdd, he could put half of those wallets in a pendrive and give it to Ira.
This, however, does not means he have the password for them.

Now, if the hdd itself is encrypted (and not just the individual wallets), he cant even send these wallets to Ira, which is even worse for Shelby's conspiracy theory.

I dont believe CSW will break this encryption. I think he is not even trying, its just a show to promote BSV.
But if bitcoin goes down, so does BSV.

How can you believe one single word of any conceivable angle of the entirety of this tale? There's no proof Dave Kleiman had anything to do with BTC. There's no proof of anything about Craigy other than the proof he himself has provided of his being a corpulent fantasist.

Does that



read like the Satoshi we know, or anyone who got within a trillion miles of him?

Sad but true.



It seems even the cheeky Chinese themselves have difficulty untangling the thought that 'blockchain' has little to do with Bitcoin in the minds of those up the top.
2988  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How do you like your sig campaign payments. USD vs. BTC on: October 26, 2019, 11:08:33 PM
It's an interesting one.

The bitmixer.io campaign was an eternal 0.035 per week. At one point that was one of the worst paying campaigns, about $10 a week or less in 2015, and by the time it died it was the best paying and people were scrabbling to get into it.

USD obviously has constant exchange rate adjustments. Most BTC campaigns are pretty sluggish in changing the amounts they pay, though I noticed some were extremely reactive, enough to piss off their users.

If your earnings go straight out then you may as well stick with USD. If you're looking to the future then BTC.
2989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens If China Bans Bitcoin Mining? on: October 26, 2019, 09:57:55 PM
It would deal a massive blow to a series of Chinese companies that rode the crypto wave by providing mining and production tools to the industry like Bitmain . Losing those large facilities, which benefit from economies of scale, could help smaller miners compete in China, where small operations would be more likely to continue operating under the radar, and elsewhere.

Bitmain have had the money and demand to go global. It's not the biggest or the minnows who'd be affected the most, it's the middle ground and they probably make up a decent amount of the overall hash rate.

Still plenty of others ready to fill in if they do clear out.
2990  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bittrex International shutting down services from 31 countries. on: October 26, 2019, 09:28:28 AM
I don't think they'd get rid of all those places unless it was someone else's condition.

Most of them are not violent or controversial so it must be some other weirdo's desire.

The other possibility is that those non controversial countries cost more in compliance than they generate in custom but the amounts must be tiny and if I were them I'd be looking to include than exclude. Growth could come at any time.
2991  Economy / Economics / Re: China’s President Xi Urges Accelerated Blockchain Technology Adoption on: October 26, 2019, 07:10:30 AM
I'll be disappointed if this is one the causes of the pump but knowing how literal and dim many are it probably is.

'blockchain' is a dream technology for authoritarians as much as it is for the diametrically opposed.

And if you think a fully blockchained China is good for btc there think again.

With normal banking/apps P2P stuff can probably continue to slip through the cracks.

A legit government crypto ups the control and surveillance to truly gross levels.

Am slightly disgusted this is even an option at all, let alone one you have to actively opt out of.

Someone doing this to me would have their nipples twisted until they went black if I could get my hands on them so whatever they're hawking certainly won't get the time of day from me.

I'm not sure what caused this movement but it does show how far there is to go until it starts to act sensibly.

We no doubt find this arousing but it sends something of a mixed signal - we're open for business but still off the fucking wall.

The percentages are similar to when it was sub 1 dollar.

OR, they are holding and reeducating muslim terrorists and potential terrorists to safeguard the people.
Unlike the western democracies who cuddle them and let them in to their countries so they can commit terrorist acts against us.

So you don't believe someone has the right to live the life they were born into in the country they were born into? It's not as if they're sudden frothing converts and out of the average 1 million people of any type only a tiny and pathetic handful will be terrorists.
2995  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Closed Account Investigation on: October 24, 2019, 02:26:08 PM
How they know if they anyone have done any criminal activities with bitcoin ? Do they track the source ? I remember the XAPO uses to close the account if they find that the bitcoin are received from gambling site. Do coinbase follow the same guidelines ?

Bitcoin's super easy to trace. There'll be known addresses for gambling sites and dark market stuff which I assume they'll have automated alerts about. No US based operation will allow unsanctioned gambling transactions.

The most extreme case I've seen was Coinmama telling someone to go away with a gambling transaction that was about 15 tx's ago.

I'll always like Joe Rogan, and I realize this is the Onion, but he does ask some pretty dumb questions sometimes... Maybe just as a side effect of being too stoned.

He seems to get so many people through he probably forgets who he's talking to.

My ultimate nightmare job would be chat show host or breakfast DJ. Having to be chatty, upbeat and interested in whoever is plopped in front of me several days a week would rapidly result in an explosive aneurysm. I speak on average around 500 words a year.

His most interesting podcast is probably the bloke from Fear of 13 who got off death row. It's interesting primarily because without the power of editing he comes over as a truly skin crawling figure.
2997  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-10-18] Bitcoin Has Failed But Global Stablecoins a Threat, Say BIS and G7 on: October 24, 2019, 10:46:18 AM
However, the October report, argues that widely adopted asset-pegged cryptocurrencies, or stablecoins, such as Libra are a growing threat to monetary policy, financial stability and competition.

This doesn't make any sense. They have full control over whether systems like that live or die. Libra has shown us that something that comprehensive and ambitious will NEVER be permitted to exist in the form proposed unless they're at the reins.

If they decided the existing stable coins needed to go then the compliant ones would be gone the same day and Tether would be hunted down and murdered shortly after.
2998  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Korean Crypto Market is ‘Pretty Dead’, Says Primitive Ventures Founder on: October 24, 2019, 10:41:10 AM
Everywhere's dead.

But South Korea was probably the silliest crypto market of all by a long way so I'm not surprised they proved to be the weakest and most fickle traders. Anywhere that had Bitcoin Gold volumes 20x higher than real Bitcoin is clearly a land of fools.

In 2013 it was China that was the dumbest market. In 2017 it was S Korea. I wonder where it'll be next time.

2999  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Get a credit card by Bitcoin on: October 24, 2019, 10:28:34 AM
That's a prepaid card, can't book a hotel or rent a card with it!
I need a credit card.

Most debit cards can be used for hotels and car rentals mate. Debit cards from banks definitely can be used for all those you mentioned.

I always pay for hotels with a debit card. That wouldn't work for car rentals in most places I've been. They don't know if a debit card has enough money to pay for their rapeage. With a credit card they can help themselves guaranteed.

I've never seen a card along these lines and I doubt there'll ever be one. I've never heard of a non Bitcoin prepaid/loaded credit card either.

It's worth checking the policies of individual car hire companies as some only want credit cards for higher tier vehicles. Even then they won't accept prepaid debit cards. They have to be bank and account issued debit cards.



3000  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase Closed Account Investigation on: October 24, 2019, 10:00:30 AM
does coinbase report to law enforcment after closing your account?

I can't imagine they'd bother reporting you for something that requires detective work and proof on their part. That's not their job and not their problem. If you have a known dark market transaction they may keep it on file but I assume law enforcement comes to them with a specific crime to link to you.

Other than that they would simply prefer you to go away.
