One possible offender that wasn't mentioned are sidechain operators. A group like Blockstream is more than a likely offender of the current spam attack.

Hey, just curious, do you also buy items for Bitcoin? Or are you solely a seller? Also, are keys $1.95 regardless of the case they are associated with, or does the rarity of the case change the value?

So many trolls in this thread. Bitcoin has gotten to the point to where it has proven its legitimacy and benefit to the general public. The digital currency is here to stay, and no slight drop in price warrants a doomsday panic.

Someone has been spamming the blockchain by constantly sending minimum sized transactions to several dozen simple brainwallets (others include dog and cat) for about a week now. This is one of the wallets he/she is sending money to and fro.

Are there any CS:GO servers I can play to earn hyper or a similar sltcoin? I know leet.gg can be used to earn Bitcoins but it's unavailable in my area (US).

This is why Bitcoin is here to stay. Regardless of what happens in the future, Bitcoin will always be an outlet for those that need freedom to use their currency as they please.

Does anyone play on here yet? I checked on the site a couple times recently and there were no games to join. I understand I run a risk of playing against a bot but I would like to give it a shot either way.

If Bitcoin was dead this thread would not have 19 pages of responses. Furthermore the recent surge and price proves that Bitcoin is still alive and healthy.

SWC Poker is the largest in terms of Bitcoin exclusive poker. Betcoin has more overall players but that is largely due to the site hosting tournaments that players on other sites have access to. The number of players that connect through Betcoin is lower than that on SWC.

100K maybe, but I highly doubt Bitcoin will increase in value to $10,000 in just 5 years. If this is the case, I imagine some sort of event would have to take place that challenges the stability of the USD.

Yes, China is a gambling culture, much larger than the US. Gambling is deeply entrenched in Chinese culture, which explains their nature in regards to the stock market as well as Bitcoin market.

I've heard good thingd about this documentary, can't wait to buy it with BTC and watch it when I get home.

Despite the annoyance of signature spammers, signature campaigns have, at least in my opinion, an overall positive effect on the community. With Signature campaigns, anyone can acquire a solid amount of Bitcoins. Furthermore, the campaigns promote active use of the forums (as opposed to lurking) and reward users for spending more time on the forums.

Bitcoin is stable. Look at the fluctuations in value of the other popular currencies. Everything fluctuates, Bitcoin is no exception. The fluctuations in price are just a factor of the bigger system.

After seeing the first 1k users posted on the site yesterday, I tried logging into the gmails of maybe 10 accounts. 5 out of 10 were using the same passwords on cloudminr.io and gmail. Luckily, 4/5 had 2FA enabled, and the other account was disabled by google due to suspicious activity. Either way, from the small sample it became apparent a lot of users are in danger of having their information compromised on many sites. Hopefully everyone who had an account with cloudminr finds out about this and takes appropriate security measures.

Exactly, the idea of the minimum wage isn't that you can make a career doing anything, the idea is that minimal wage jobs allow teenagers a place to start, to move onto better things. Minimum wage shouldn't be elevated to the point where everyone is living luxuriously off of minimum wage, the only effect this will have is increasing the cost of living and destroying small businesses.

I would actually disagree that WSOP is more skill involved than online poker. By watching any amount of WSOP on television, you can see people staying alive due to lucky draws all the time. Regardless of the skill of a player has, an incredible amount of luck is needed to make it to that final table. If WSOP was mostly skill, you would see mostly the same faces each final table.

As far as online poker goes, I would say its 50/50. Realistically, you can play enough hands to where if you are a good player you will consistently profit. However, for the more casual players, who play in tourneys every now and then, luck is easily as important as skill, but it doesn't play as big of a role (imo) as it does in WSOP.

I've spent a lot of time trying to come up with the best ways to earn Bitcoin, and after trying a lot of methods, it became apparent that the most efficient way to earn is by providing a skill as a service. For me this skill was writing, and my profits through writing is much more than any amount I have made from trading, posting, faucets, giveaways, and gambling combined.

After reading this, I had a scary thought: what if hardware wallet companies made this technology easy to obtain and use, allowing anyone to compromise wallets on devices such as laptops, and in turn forcing Bitcoiners to purchase a Trevor or something similar.

Just making sure because the google docs hasn't been updated for this week yet- are current members automatically enrolled for the next week? Or do I need to make a post each week declaring my desire to continue enrollment?
