81  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to Buy a Car with Bitcoin without convert my bitcoin to Fiat. on: August 01, 2017, 09:44:17 PM
Sad that so few people realised the opening poster was cracking a joke.  Fiat is an Italian car brand.  
"I want to exchange Bitcoin for a car without converting to Fiat"

Notice the capital "F"

lol then I guess it's not possible. But maybe look around in a few daPPs with those million $$$ ICOs, they may have  a whitepaper to do just that Smiley

Actually what the OP is asking for is possible for any make of car that he wants, unless he wanted to get a Fiat.

If you search historic posts on this forum this has been done at least twice.

That's a lie.If they have stored your password in a database,how come they can't access it ? Assuming they can't access it,how would you access it if required ? If it goes to a database,it is more vulnerable than anything else.

83  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is NOT mathematically limited to twenty one million bitcoins on: July 29, 2017, 10:26:42 AM

Its a "fundamental principle" of the Bitcoin community yes, its  strongly held as one of our core tenets. But it could still be changed. So stop saying its limited without pointing out what its limited by.

Well I would like to also point out that if the 21 million cap limit was increased then what we have is no longer Bitcoin.

Even if 99.97% of the users still call it "Bitcoin" it won't be Bitcoin to me. It would be a PoS coin. Not proof-of-stake, but piece-of-shit.
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is everyone feeling going into Aug 1? on: July 28, 2017, 09:49:13 PM
I voted "Scared Shitless" because it seemed somewhat melodramatic.

Actually,  I'm more annoyed about the possibility of owning BCC that's worth significantly more than $0 and that I'd need to take the trouble to sell. I mean now I need to install a BCC-aware wallet and migrate over my private keys, etc. etc.

85  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Warning: Using Bitcoin Cash means trusting your private keys to buggy software! on: July 28, 2017, 08:47:08 AM

Once the chain split happens, your private key holds balance on both chains. Now whatever BTC private key you want to use on BCC, you should first empty it by sending coins to new address. Then you can use that private keys on BCC. If replay protection is properly working, your BCC balance should be there and BTC are empty.

I would also make sure that you control the private keys of the new address to which you are sending the coins to, just in case replay protection does not work on the BCC chain. In the unlikely event that the transaction does get replayed on BCC then the coins would go to an address that you control.

87  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the bitcoin decentralized? on: July 27, 2017, 09:55:59 AM
As of today the bitcoin is slowly getting centralized.

Different priorities to different people. A lot of new people who go into the Bitcoin scene post-2013 seem to care less about a "freedom currency" and more about making money and achieving a higher transaction rate. While it may already be partially centralized that's no reason to not continually resist changes that would lead to additional centralization.
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to find lost bitcoins? on: July 24, 2017, 08:27:59 PM
Millions of bitcoins are considered lost. Who will find them?

What is your criteria that you used to get the "millions"? Coins that have not moved in the last 5 years? Just because they didn't move doesn't mean that those coins are lost. They could very well be in cold storage.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Bitcoins cheap without ID verification on: July 24, 2017, 05:00:30 PM
You can check with localbitcoins.com site their i think you can buy bitcoins without providing ID verification but the buying price can differ from cheap to costly it depends on the market fluctuations.

I think this is only possible using a third party payment processor such as PayPal to process the Visa card. Then you can do a localbitcoins transaction using PayPal as the payment method. The problem is that with PayPal there are many scammers that will do a chargeback once they have the coins. Consequently most sellers accepting PayPal would not trade with you unless you have at minumum a clean 100% no-chargeback record for at least a year as a buyer.

90  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you For or Against "Government" Regulation of Bitcoin. on: July 20, 2017, 08:32:36 AM

A freedom currency would be a thing that gives economic freedom back to people, so that they can interact economically with one another without getting stolen (tax), spied (declaration) and limited (forbidden economic interaction) by rule makers.  If it can be taxed, has to be declared, and hence, can be regulated (forbidden for some actions), then it has no use as a freedom currency.


Even barter trading is taxable in the US according to the IRS. I am sure very few people report their barter trades when they file their taxes.

As long as the protocol does not change I have no problems with governments attempting to regulate the use of Bitcoin. You choose individually to obey or disregard these regulations. You choose as a society to vote for or against these regulations. The protocol is still viable for use as a freedom currency.
91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where are the real bitcoiners? Those who wanted to fight against the banksters? on: July 20, 2017, 08:14:19 AM
Where are them?

They are no longer on this forum. Why would they come here anymore? We now have Hero and Legendary accounts posting shit and asking newb questions. Any topic of substance quickly gets pushed to the second page and disappears.

Anyway I don't believe that most of those early anti-banksters actually wanted to drive banks completely out of business. I felt that many were just happy with Bitcoin because it allowed them to accumulate wealth outside of the banking system.
92  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin and Ethereum co-exist? on: July 17, 2017, 04:30:26 AM
It is fair to consider the possibility that one will dominate the other to extinction at some point in time. However take note that even right now ETH and ETC are still coexisting in spite of being pretty much identical in features and functionality. BTC and ETH are different enough that they have good reasons for coexisting while serving non-overlapping purposes.

you can turn off signatures and/or avatars in settings.

its not always about money.. some people just like collecting shitcoins for free.

Grear, but where can I find the  check box option to hide garbage posts? Those are what is really bothering me. Not so much looking st the sigs and avatars.

If you want to remove weeds, you must cut off their roots.


The weeds have taken over the yard. There is almost no grass left. Is it still practical to cut off every root one by one?
95  Other / Off-topic / Re: Ways how Satoshi can deliver a WRONG proof that he is himself? on: July 05, 2017, 10:45:49 PM
The answer is: 1. We all witnessed.

Because nobody will now bother to attempt to outdo the ridiculously stupid fake signing proof that we all saw.

A: You can either donate 50 BTC to become a VIP or PM theymos asking to change your username (although he rarely accepts such requests nowadays).

It's 10 BTC. Don't believe everything you read.
98  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sold on: June 29, 2017, 05:09:18 PM
I sold about 10% of my stash. I'm not sure whether the bubble has burst or not, but I decided I'll take some profit (bought at sub $100). We might see $5000 or $10000 in the next few days, but I'm pretty sure the price will go down to $1500 (or even lower) at some point in the next few months or next year, and that's when I'll buy more. If that doesn't happen then it's fine, I'll invest in something else.

What do you think of my decision?

Sell your next 10% when it hits $15,000, or maybe $30,000. You'd be doing fine.
99  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [75+PH] KanoPool kano.is 0.9% PPLNS US,DE,SG,JP,NL,NYA 🐈 on: June 27, 2017, 12:51:09 AM
So it sounds like I am not doing something right (safe??).

I just leave all of my rewards/payments (BTC) from here in the Coinbase exchange and use that as my vehicle for selling, buying, etc.

It sounds like this is not the preferred method?

I used to send my kano.is earnings to my localbitcoins.com wallet because I only have 26 TH/s and that method allowed me to consolidate my scrap earnings without incurring fees. The reality is that for a small amount of BTC (this means different amounts to different people) I don't mind using an online wallet if it saves me consolidation fees. However localbitcoins started charging incoming fees earlier this month so now I send my earnings straight to my Bitcoin core wallet since I will be using up fees consolidating my dust payments either way.
100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the final number of bitcoins become a serious limitation? on: June 22, 2017, 11:02:11 PM
1 BTC = 50 000 USD, than the minimum fee of any transaction (0.00001 BTC) is worth $0.5, which makes BTC a very expensive currency to use, because even if people pay this minimum fee, it will still add up to a big amount, if you do 200 transactions per month it will be $100 in fees.

If 1 BTC becomes worth $50,000 then the minimum fee would likely drop below 0.00001 BTC. I still remember the early days when we were paying 0.01 BTC transaction fees and not thinking twice about it. The market will adjust.
