Thanks for letting me know. Closing the topic now.

Bitcoin exchange BTCXIndia has announced that it is closing its doors later this month following the loss of its banking partner.

The India-based exchange, which featured a live trading platform and wallet service, said in a statement on its website and via email that it would close its doors on 20th May.

The exchange operator suggested that the closure was a result of a broader policy shift on the part of its Indian banking partner, explaining:

"We have been informed by our bank that they will no longer serve bitcoin businesses. We have investigated the possibility to operate through other banks, but it seems this is a general policy in India as of today."

BTCXIndia urged users to withdraw their funds before the cut off date and suggested that the exchange could reopen should a new banking partner be acquired in the future.

The exchange, launched in May of last year, had previously emphasized its commitment to regulatory compliance and cooperation with the Indian government. Its closure is notable given unconfirmed reports of regulatory issues facing other exchanges in India.

Only about 70 male actors to 10,000 women; $20 bn porn industry under threat


TOKYO:

For a man carrying a nation's libido on his shoulders, Japanese "porn king Shimiken" looks as fresh as a daisy. The 35-year-old cult hero, described by one director as the Cristiano Ronaldo of sex and famed for his Herculean powers between the sheets, grins as he tells AFP, "It's a hard job, but somebody's got to do it."

Shimiken — real name Ken Shimizu — has slept with more than 8,000 women for his 7,500 movies, and recently caused a stir by begging for reinforcements, tweeting that there were more Bengali tigers alive than male porn actors in Japan. "There are about 70 male actors to 10,000 women," he said. Shimiken's call to arms was retweeted thousands of times by fans worried about Japan's $20 billion adult video industry coming under threat. "It is boring for viewers to watch the same actors all the time. That's the biggest worry," he added.

Shimiken insisted he has the staying power to keep on going, despite making an eye-popping two to three films in an average day. "Usually I sleep with two or three girls a day, so I have sex for about two hours every day," he chirped. "It's my dream job — I've been doing this for 17 years and I never get bored of it. It beats working in an office. I'll do this until I'm 100."

He may have to, if the decline in male actors continues. Many industry insiders blame the conundrum on a growing social trend known as herbivore men: Those who shun sex and traditional masculine values in favour of a quiet, uncompetitive lifestyle. "Mentally, men have become weaker," said actress Yuko Shiraki. "They're less macho, less proactive about sex."

Celebrated director Tohjiro agrees Japanese men are going soft. "I've been in this business for 27 years and you can see the increase in herbivore males," he said. "Men aren't hungry anymore. They've lost their desire. Everything's on a plate for them. It wasn't like that for my generation. If we got a banana or a pineapple, we went crazy with joy. These days, men don't get excited by anything. The same applies to sex and attitude towards women and relationships. They just click on the internet for it."

This was something i wanted to figure out. I don't need to send finds from a specific address right now,  but i was imagining a scenario when you use different addresses for different people / purpose and then you want to continue funding then from the same address to maintain privacy.

I think i will have to switch to Electrum like jaxkbox has mentioned above.

Some people have pointed out karma as the reasoning behind the earthquake.
Being the OP I should admit the thread title seems to give impression that i believe in the same principle and this ritual was the reasoning behind the earthquake.

While i believe in the concept of karma, i don't think this was ever the reason for the quake.
If that was the case,  an earthquake or other natural disaster will occur every five years,  following the ritual.  An earthquake is purely geographical disaster and it would not be wise to link it to a religious ritual.

That being said, i think this ritual is inhuman at best. Slaughtering countless poor animals in the name of good is just an ignorant and shameful act that shows how shallow our understanding of the religion can be. No good demands such sacrifices. God loves every living creature and he is not pleased by such barbaric acts of violence.

Before the earthquake, Hinduism devotees killed 250,000 cows to celebrate festival

Worshipers believe that the animal sacrifice, meant to appease Gadhimai, the Hindu goddess of power, to bring them luck and prosperity.

Before the great earthquake struck, million devotees of Hinduism religion celebrated their cow festival in Nepal.

More than 20,000 buffaloes were sacrificed on the first day. It is estimated that 250,000 animals were sacrificed during the Gadhimai festival. The ritual killings were performed by more than 200 men in a concrete slaughterhouse near the temple.

Worshipers believe that the animal sacrifice, meant to appease Gadhimai, the Hindu goddess of power, to bring them luck and prosperity.

Gadhimai festival is a sacrificial ritual that is held every 5 years at the Gadhimai Temple of Bariyarpur, in Bara District, about 100 miles (160 km) south of the capital Kathmandu in southern Nepal, near the Indo-Nepal border. The event involves the world's second largest sacrificial slaughter of animals after Hajj including water buffaloes, pigs, goats, chicken, rats, and pigeons – with the goal of pleasing Gadhimai, the goddess of power.

Participants believe that animal sacrifices to the Hindu goddess Gadhimai will end evil and bring prosperity.

Following the new thread

But will have to admit: hate to see the moderation

Lower supply shouldn't be the only factor taken into consideration for price speculation.

Just remember: if Bitcoin reaches to a very low supply to public demand and the price reaches an unbearable level for people to afford, people will just move to a more widely available coin (like LTC or maybe some other alt coin popular at that time).

That is one possibility. If the member is trusted on forum, there is a reason to give him a few hours before calling it a lie.

But whatever his issue with his wallet is, he should not deny paying you back. If he is a regular user of Bitcoin, he should have his private keys backed up, which he can use to access his BTC using some other wallet (like online blockchain.info wallet).

And even if he does not have access to funds or private keys, that should be HIS problem and he should pay you back what you deserve.

If he does not respond after a day or so and does not repay you, you should publicly announce his name.

Yep!

You should stay away from them as well.

You're welcome.
If you follow NEOS on Twitter and sometimes casually chat with sysntaks (developer) on IRC, you'll see how different an experience NEOS is.
And once you use the wallet, it is even more convincing.

This coin is under the radar currently but slowly growing with great community and rich features development.
Feel free to visit the official thread now and then, and you'll see how the development is shaping up.

Well..  it isn't loading right now, but I checked it couple of days ago when it was working.

Interesting. I can see the first one is verified as Bittrex. Similarly I assume the next 2 or 3 addresses belonging to other exchanges. Becauuse that's quite some quantity to have (250k NEOS). If they belong to individuals, I envy them

Not sure, but I think it has something to do with this:
(someone found out the OP was an alt account of TheGambler and hence gave negative feedback.)

Sorry to hear that such restrictions are being faced by fully KYC compliant exchanges like Unocoin even when Bitcoin is still in early adoption phase.

Can i ask which authority was that?  A financial regulatory body,  police,  or something else?  Although i would completely understand if you don't want to share this.

I read an interesting article about how low Bitcoin's price can get.
When everybody talks about how HIGH can it go, it is interesting to analyze how LOW it can go.

Given that users can delete their own posts, this is fairly possible without intervention from moderators.
If someone posted something few days ago and then decided that it was irrelevant and deletes it, the thread shortens.

That's the whole point.
