1361  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Altcoin to invest in for 2016 and WHY on: August 09, 2015, 08:00:43 AM
Isn't altcoin investments a dice roll more than anything? Pick a few coins that look good and go all in will yield similar results to putting research into everything. Especially with FUD posted to encourage pumps/dumps you just never know.

You can buy/sell locally on localbitcoins.com with a 10%~ premium either way. It may take a while to build up your reputation but once you have a decent rep you should see a steady flow of trades. People will be willing to buy Bitcoin at 10%/coin more, and sell at 10%/coin less, if you have good reputation.
1363  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what is the best online bitcoin wallet on: August 09, 2015, 07:55:23 AM
blockchain.info is having a lot of problems nowadays i would better use something like greenaddress.it wallet as it seams to be much better, though its your decision

Definitely stay away from blockchain.info. The wallet worked fine years ago, but the software has not been updated and it has been revealed that the site has a ton of security issues. Web wallets are never too secure, but if you must use one, still stay away from blockchain.info.
1364  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: NEWBIE IN BITCOIN WORLD on: August 09, 2015, 07:52:41 AM
google Joystream.

I'm not a newbie, but this is the first time I've heard of this service. So potentially you can outsource your internet to someone else, and get paid for it? Can I automate the process to where I automatically begin outsourcing my internet between maybe 2-6 AM each night, when nobody in my household is using the internet? How much would I actually earn from doing such a thing?
1365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the amount that every Bitcoiner should own ? on: August 09, 2015, 07:49:22 AM
2.1 BTC has always seemed like a fair amount to me in regards to this question. 2.1 BTC makes you one in a million, which could be potentially huge if/when mass adoption occurs. For everyone who doesn't have it, aim for 2.1 BTC Smiley
1366  Economy / Lending / Re: Loan needed on: August 09, 2015, 07:48:01 AM
Thank you. Please tell me your RXP wallet to send the collaterall.

give it up you scumbag...

Did you get scammed? That's why you don't send first in loans.

I think he is referring to the very real and likely possibility that OP is the same person who has been using random newby accounts and immediately loaning the accounts money from the account "ManyProofs"
1367  Economy / Speculation / Re: The panic selling has begun on: August 09, 2015, 07:45:15 AM
it's big traders going on vacation and removing their last manipulation in the 275-300 range, i'm not expecting the price to fall below 250 and until then i'll not worry about it at all, you should do the same
Problem is not if it will fall below 250, problem is when moon. BTC=moon so if no moon no BTC....

probably around the halving, because if no moon is accomplished for that time, then bitcoin is probably done

Seriously? You think if Bitcoin doesn't skyrocket within just a few years time, it's a dead currency? The halving will certainly impact the value of Bitcoin. It will probably rise considerably, and we might even see prices near or above the alltime highs in 2013. However, this isn't the "moon". If Bitcoin ever reaches the moon, it is due to worldwide adoption, which won't magically take place due to a halving.
1368  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Freebitco.in faucet - Has anyone rolled the top prize, 10,000? on: August 09, 2015, 07:43:16 AM
I'm sure many people have won the grand prize with a roll of 10,000. Realistically, 1 out of every 10,000 faucet claims should be the jackpot.

On another note is freebitco.in still a large faucet? It used to be the best paying one a while back, however people don't seem to refer to it as a go-to faucet all that much anymore.
1369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Cannot Be Deleted on: August 09, 2015, 07:40:32 AM
As unlikely as it may be, Bitcoin could effectively die. Deleted? No, the code can never be deleted. However, some scenario could take place in the future that causes the entirety of Bitcoin mining power to be deleted, for whatever reason. It is highly unlikely, very, very unlikely, however it is still a potential scenario.
1370  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Games That accept Bitcoin on: August 09, 2015, 07:38:42 AM
There are three Minecraft servers (that I know of) that use Bitcoin as part of their economy: Bitquest (play.bitquest.co) PlayMC (PlayMC.com) and one more that I can't name off the top of my head (vanilla type server that pays satoshis for activity). You can also gamble Bitcoins on a variety of game at leet.gg
1371  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie here From PH I wanna learn how to mine BITCOIN on: August 09, 2015, 07:35:32 AM
Hey Nikky, I know several others have already given you helpful resources on mining, so I won't go into any detail. However, I would like to warn you that Bitcoin mining is not too profitable anymore. Mining power has saturated the market, and mining Bitcoin profitably requires a large investment, cheap electricity, and ideal conditions. If you are set on mining, you may want to look into mining up new altcoins that you think will appreciate in value.
1372  Economy / Speculation / Re: The panic selling has begun on: August 09, 2015, 07:31:05 AM
Back to the 220-240 range it seems, that's okay

I honestly don't think it will dip down back into the 220-240 range again, unless something drastic happens in the future. The price might drop down to 240 slightly, but I expect it to correct. We may see the price settle down at around 255, but I couldn't imagine it staying below that for more than a day or so.
1373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's Killer App is Money on: August 09, 2015, 05:48:31 AM
Bitcoin's killer application is to give a chance to the people of under developed countries to the ban services. What am I talking about?

Well there is more than 3 and a half billion people who don't have a bank account in the world and who don't live anywhere close to the bank. With a simple and cheap phone, with the Bitcoin miracles can be done.

I mean look at Mpesa in Kenya and the success of it. Bitcoin can be next Mpesa, just hundred times bigger!

Yeah, because it's easy to keep a BTCs safe in a mud hut shared by 20 in one room in Africa. Trezor?

Or for the unbanked in India living in on or next to a dump as in Dump Millionaire.... fighting for every piece of bread... keeping btcs safe will be a breeze...

NOT.....

We need ways to keep btcs safe.... easily... and safely....

Satoshi made the first major innovation... now someone needs to make it useful for the masses.

Give it time my friend, give it time. Can you remember the first computer? Now compare i5 with the current technology.

Bitcoin is still very young and time is needed to build trust and to develop and simplify this amazing tech.

All you need at the moment is a cheap android phine and you can already be your own bank. For some corners of the world this is still to much, but this will also simplify as time is passing.

Although there are some billions of people in underdeveloped areas without access to Bitcoin, there are also billions of people in underdeveloped areas with access to Bitcoin. The effects have already taken place- people living in South America, India, Indonesia, etc., all enjoy wages far more than what they would typically earn in their countries just by participating on this forums. In my opinion, THAT is the "killer app" for Bitcoin.
1374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is bitcoin better than litecoin? on: August 09, 2015, 05:45:49 AM
I think network effect and first mover advantage is what sets Bitcoin and Litecoin apart. In order for Litecoin to beat Bitcoin it would have to be really superior technologically which we know it's not the case. Moreover, Litecoin is just a copy of Bitcoin that is little bit tweaked, nothing else.

Yup, Bitcoin arrived first, which is why it's more successful. Bitcoin has the community, publicity, and mining power that no other cryptocurrency can boast. For an altcoin, Litecoin or other, to surpass Bitcoin, it needs to be something that revolutionalizes an already revolutionary industry.
1375  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Bitcoin need a new theory of money? on: August 09, 2015, 05:43:02 AM
Bitcoin is certainly not conventional by any means, and there are no economic laws or theories supporting the currency. Most major economists advise to steer clear of Bitcoin, and use the many theories and factors they have been taught to support their claim. Bitcoin is certainly not a bad currency, but there is currently nothing substantial to verify it's past and future success.
1376  Economy / Digital goods / Re: [VOUCHED] SPORTS BETTING FOR N00BS on: August 09, 2015, 05:39:24 AM
You included vouch testimonies in OP, however without anyone on this forum endorsing the e-book, you will have trouble selling any copies. If you would like to make a considerable amount of sales on this forum, you are first going to have to give a few high ranking members a copy.
your post reads like this:

i want free stuff... no, i deserve free stuff as i'm respected here. sound about right? you know damn well even if he gives it away to "trusted" members it still will not sell. stop abusing your trust.

No, I'm actually not interested in a vouch copy, as I know I wouldn't be willing to put any considerable amount of time or money into sports betting. I was just trying to politely inform him that nobody is going to buy his ebook unless someone on this forums verifies its legitimacy, no need to be hostile.
1377  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Australia Ready to Treat Bitcoin as a Regular Currency on: August 09, 2015, 05:37:20 AM
its a huge negative step for any crypto enthusiast, gov don't do such things for cryptos benefit.

bitcoin is just fast becoming a pseudo fiat, regulate it make it pointless is all gov plans.

No, this is certainly a good thing. When I originally saw this posted on reddit, someone else had a similar criticism. However, Bitcoin was originally labled as a commodity (or maybe it was material) in Australia, which meant any and all transactions were taxed, making day trading essentially impossible.
1378  Economy / Lending / Re: Would love a loan, any help is awesome for me. on: August 09, 2015, 05:35:40 AM
This account is absolutely purchased, and attempting to scam for a hefty amount of Bitcoin. Just by doing a quick look into the posting history, you can tell the writer behind the posts has changed. The person who wrote this thread did so with perfect English, but prior posts are very poorly written, and there are also posts in local boards, indicating the account was originally owned by a non-native speaker. Clear scam, stay away.

It does the job well. You obviously have something against Primedice, either because you lost a bunch or something else, and this video could surely turn people away from the site. if I was looking for gambling sites on youtube, this video would definitely make me turn away from primedice.
