321  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: May 31, 2017, 05:09:22 PM
Personally, if I'm in a coffee shop or any store with some people, I pull out my wallet and subtly show them my Xapo debit card. Then they get curious on what kind of card is that since it doesnt look like the usual Mastercard or creditcard. Then I explain it from there on.

What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? Smiley

My way of spreading bitcoins is simple, I just show to my family and office mates my income from bitcoin. They have started to be curious as to what is bitcoin and how they will earn. As I always update them with the value of bitcoin they become interested and started to buy more coins. But sometimes there are disadvantages in sharing bitcoins to others and that is when you join an investment they will borrow some of your bitcoins but when it turns out to be a scam they will just turn a blind eye on you.
i also start introducing bitcoin from my family, first when i heard about bitcoin i do not think that any other person was familiar with it, because i bring the idea from our capital when i visited there and by chance met a person in University, i stay there for 1 week and during this period he became  my friend and he share the idea of bitcoin with me, because at that time i was jobless. now i am spreading the new about bitcoin in my area, and people are now taking interest in bitcoin.
it is a fact that when a person start taking benefit from some think then he try to introduce it to their dear ones. and same is the case here, i also start introducing bitcoin from my family, in fact i want that my family also stat taking profit and income from bitcoin. in this respect now i am also teaching about bitcoin to my brother and sister, and hope that very soon they will also start learning about bitcoin.

Hi there,

I want to launch my own online shop which will accept bitcoin as payment but I can't decide what to sell   Smiley

Please post here what would you buy for bitcoins? Watches, video games, food ?

Thanks!


I will advise you to go for digital product as there are easy to send to buyers through email or download link. You can easy create those kind of shop an get product from clickbank and sell them on your site. Many products are on clickbank that you cannot buy with any other currencies except dollars but you can buy them and resell them for profits, accepting bitcoin.
yes that is right, online shops is really a very good idea, but you must keep it in our mind that you must have a good capital for that, because you are going to open such a shop where people will be purchasing form all over the world, and you must have the capacity to provide everything they need. online shopping trend is really increasing from time to time because of the interest of the new generation.
323  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your biggest bitcoin regrets? on: May 31, 2017, 04:43:10 PM
One of my biggest bitcoin regrets is when I used my bitcoin to purchase something way back a few months ago. I regretted it because there is a huge increase in it's price. and it is still continuously rising to the moon. If I became patience and kept it, I probably had earned more. Lesson learned. Keep your bitcoin for now and wait.
i think you should not regret for that because if you have used your bitcoin when you need it, it is a blessing that you have that and you can use it, to me i think the biggest regret for me is that when bitcoin was trading in 1200 USD, there was a plenty of asset with me but i do not invest it in bitcoin. but still i am here confident about that in future i will get more and more good chances to make more and more money.
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will be see bitcoin as international currency? on: May 30, 2017, 09:52:46 PM
By the year 2020 i think there will be bitcoin atm's anywhere

Anywhere? Maybe this is possible anywhere on a first world countries like US or Europe. However when you talk about the whole world then 2020 might be too early to say that btc could be an international currency
in fact it s depending on the interest and the number of users of bitcoin. if the number of bitcoin uses are increasing throughout the world, then bitcon will surely become global and international currency very soon. currently i think the number of bitcoin users are increasing too much as the demand of bitcoin is increasing which is also causing the increase in the price of bitcoin.
- Sure, 2020 is still too early, Bitcoin needs more, it needs a very long time to grow and become more popular than ever. Bitcoin will become international currency when it is known to many people around the world and accepted by governments but want to do that, it needs to improve a lot of problems. Especially issues related to time accept transactions and technology issues to make payment more convenient and secure, if these issues are resolved, bitcoin will have great breakthroughs
yes that is right, but to me i think the users of bitcoin are already present in all over the world, despite the fact that in some places their number are negligible but still it is present in all over the world and therefore i would like to say that we can consider bitcoin as an international currency.
325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How the future of bitcoin will look like on: May 30, 2017, 08:12:23 PM
Bitcoin has a good future ahead of itself and can soon reach mainstream with the media now paying attention into it and many countries already recognizing Bitcoin as a form of money or as an asset. It will soon have an astronomical value because the supply is limited unlike fiat money which can easily be printed by the government.
i also think that bitcoin has a very bright future, although it is not possible to give a 100% correct prediction about the future of bitcoin. but from the current situation of bitcoin as more and more people are adopting bitcoin therefore bitcoin will remain as number one currency and will have a bright future.
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people are asking you about Bitcoin now? on: May 30, 2017, 07:24:18 PM
In the past months. That I am using bitcoin. Only few people ask me about bitcoin, But more in facebook or in facebook group page.

Yeah only those people will ask who have heard about bitcoins or know that there is something called bitcoins and we cannot expect that everyone would be knowing bitcoins as very few people around me are aware about bitcoins and most of them never asked me anything about it.
in fact in my areas i think i am the only person who is using bitcoin, now i am introducing bitcoin in my area, people are now taking interest in bitcoin and therefore now they are mostly asking me about bitcoin.  some of them have already start investing in bitcoin, while other are still studying about it and i am hopeful that very soon they will also start investing their assets in bitcoin.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you convince people into you using Bitcoin? on: May 30, 2017, 03:31:26 PM
I show them how I am earning bitcoins in different ways and how easily I convert them to fiat money so once they see the transactions in bitcoin wallet they start having faith that its not a scam and a genuine way of earning money in the form of bitcoins.



Perhaps with evidence of transactions shown to them it would be easier to convince and explain to them about bitcoin, I think this method is appropriate because most if money-related knowledge tends to be faster responsive.
You're right.If they have seen already what you have gained from bitcoin,then they would easily believe in bitcoin.Let them experience also what you have been experiencing when you entered bitcoin.
in fact that is too much important that f you want so convince a person about adopting bitcoin, then you need to give him some solid proof from your daily life about the success of bitcoin and only then he can understand and believe on you. i think you need to explain bitcoin to him in a better way, if you cannot explain bitcoin in a better way then it is difficult that he will believe on you.
328  Economy / Economics / Re: why is it so hard to buy bitcoin on: May 30, 2017, 01:58:46 PM
Well in your place it is hard but here in the Philippines they are so buy able anywere 7-11 store you can pay them and they will send you a bitcoins of course.
It is hard one reason is because it is decentralized , no taxes paying in the government and also it is fully secured and untraceable that's why it is so hard hard to buy bitcoins.
i think in past it was difficult to buy bitcoin, but now when bitcoin has become more and more popular now i think bitcoin is available everywhere in the the world i think most of the people are using local exchanges to buy bitcoin which is one of the most easiest way of buying bitcoin. hope in future it will become more and more easy to buy bitcoin.
329  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: May 29, 2017, 09:01:16 PM
From my perspective, the future of paper money is safe, still people are interested in saving or spending paper money, people of many a countries still doesn't know either ATM or Bitcoin. They are using paper money every now and then, one thing should be considered that is, bitcoin is not so popular and available around the world so paper money's future still safe and sound.
Yes, even though Bitcoin is developing very strongly, the value is high, it still can not completely replace the paper money. In the future, I think paper money still plays an important part. Everyday spending, if using paper money, will be easier and easier. And like you said, not everyone knows about Bitcoin and how to use it, so paper money is still needed. The best thing is that Bitcoin and paper money will grow and go together

Even if bitcoing gains massive popularity in future its hard to believe that paper money will disappear as there will be many bunch of people who will prefer to use paper money and not all places accepts digital mode of payments especially in poor countries where only paper money is the only option to buy goods and in that case people will always go for paper money to take care of their needs.
currently it look like so but i think it depend on the interest of the people, if people are interested in bitcoin and they are not giving any importance to b paper money and if all the facilities are also available in bitcoin, then the importance of btcoin is really decreasing from time to time and i think very soon the concept of paper money will finish.
330  Economy / Economics / Re: The best time to invest. on: May 29, 2017, 08:43:52 PM
For me the best time to invest is when you know or learn the value of bitcoin, when it come to drop and up time to time. Like now btc is up and some theory it become high and high if the month of june.

well it is high time for investing in btc now as more people already witnessed how the price of bitcoin skyrocketed and that gave people a hint of how btc can be very profitable especially in the long run. it would've been best if we've started btc early on but better to start now than never

If I am not wrong I saw the price of bitcoin crossing $2900 few days back on preev and that was too high price to invest money in it but comparatively the current price is low and a good time to invest in bitcoins as it surely has an potential to cross $3000 in next few months so even if buy now then we can make good profits in short period of time and if you believe in holding bitcoin for a long term then any price and any time is a good time to invest money in it.
to me i think although when the price of bitcoin was trading above 2900 USD in preev. i think it was also a good time to invest. and now the price is trading near to 2000 USD  so it is the best time to invest money right now and do not wast the time and opportunity, because in future we are not expecting  any future decrease in the price of bitcoin.
331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: May 29, 2017, 08:24:00 PM
Why specifically with Bitcoin when you can buy with any valuable.I never bought any drug but the title gave me other impression.There all already so many negative news about usage of bitcoin for.We need to promote it as exemplary to encourage the people with positive news than drugs.
Like I was shocked with the title. And really how can people be wanting to use bitcoin if such ideas were given. Like what if people only use bitcoins to buy some stuff that shouldn't be use by anyone. We want bitcoin to be legalize and acknowledge by many bug how if it has bad records.


There's nothing to be shocked about, fiat money is used to buy drugs and for all other kinds of illegal goods. Bitcoin was hugely implemented in deepweb and silkroad before anywhere else. I've always seen that reason not to use bitcoin to be ridiculous since the absolutely same thing is done with any other kind of money.
yes that is right to say that only bitcoin is not involved in drugs business because they are also using fiat currency and USD for drug buying and so many other unfair mean, to me bitcoin is also just like these other currencies which may be using for drugs buying , but  still i am confident that very little number of bitcoin uses will be using bitcoin for unfair mean.
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you save bitcoin for fun or for future purpose? on: May 29, 2017, 08:08:45 PM
I have bitcoin for future purposes, in hopes i can get value growth on the bitcoin i have. At once, i use for trading altcoin. In 1 month, altcoin move pretty good, so i can get a satisfactory profit compared to april trading profit.
most of the people are earning bitcoin for future purpose, bitcoin is just like cash and every one like to have more money, and for this they uses different ways to earn bitcon , to me i also earn bitcoin to secure my future,  i want to earn such amount of money which can be more profitable for me in future. because bitcoin is going to become more and more popular in future.
333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the best source of bitcoin nowadays? on: May 29, 2017, 07:44:24 PM
Best source for bitcoins are trading and buying a good coin under ICO. My second choice is signature campaign.
As far as I am concerned hyip, refshare, mlm, cloud mining, other pyramid schemes and gambling can't be considered as a source of bitcoins, as you will probably lose them.
There are also more ways to earn bitcoins which are not mentioned in poll, for example lending, investing in gambling site bankroll, selling something etc.
to me  i think the best way through which we can make good profit and make good amount of bitcoin is trading. through trading we can really get good amount of bitcoin, although there are so many other ways of earning bitcoin for example signature campaign, gambling etc, but still the best way is trading altcoin from where one can really get a good profit

You refused all my payment because I didn't have time to make(or spam, because sometimes find something constructive to post in that thread is hard) another post in the Ann thread until the deadline, that is not even written in the campaign's OP, even if this is the first week, so less than 7 days to fulfill the requirements.

Is this fair?
although i have already completed all the rules, even done 2 posts from ANN but still not receive the payment, and also removed from the campaign. i do not know the reason as my post are also constructive.

i think the signature campaign and the exclusive campaign will really also helpful in making the project more and more successful, so these campaign should be continue for some more time.

The campaign is just promoting a fake coin. You guys are getting paid in a worthless currency.
do you have any proof for that. you are newbie and how a person can believe one a newbie who may have created the account just start campaign against an innocent coin.

I have plenty of proof. I've posted my proof many times. TorCoin does not connect to Tor. All TorCoin traffic goes over the regular internet. TorCoin clients and nodes connect to a IRC channel that anyone can access. Inside the IRC channel you can see every client and their IP address. I can personally track everyone that is using TorCoin. If I can do it, anyone can.

This is not a wild guess. I have hard technical proof that TorCoin has lied about their Crypto Currency.

I'm a certified Network Engineer with a little over 10 years experience. Most recently I worked for a very large ISP in their core engineering department. I'm also kind of a nerd, so in my free time I like to investigate how things work, especially if they are network related.
 
I have experience with Tor and anonymous distributions like Tails. My primary interest at this point is to find out how secure TorCoin really is. If you are familiar with anonymity, then you should be aware that leaking network data on the clear net (the regular internet) is a big concern. Leaking any data related to you or the app you're trying to conceal will give you away.
 
To test, I configured a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and setup Wireshark. After installing and launching TorCoin, I performed a series of packet captures. For the sake of being brief, I discovered that most of the claims made by TorCoin are false. TorCoin does NOT integrate with The Tor Network. It does NOT keep your usage private.  
 
Here are just a couple things that I found!

* Clear public NON-Tor DNS traffic asking for http://seed.torcoincoin.com
* Clear public IRC traffic to irc.lfnet.org and irc.smutfairy.com
* Does NOT connect to The Tor Network!
* Does NOT keep your use of the coin anonymous!
* Nodes do NOT help The Tor Network.
 
Here is a screenshot of the IRC traffic:

 
The TorCoin OP says you are untraceable. I found a central location where I can track all the connected nodes.

You can see the IRC room with all the connected nodes here:


You can download the Wireshark packet captures here so that you can see for yourself:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/48nhs90ia6rosop/AACTChe_153XeFptUUGtSRsGa?dl=0
 
BitCoinTalk member TheTorCoin makes these FALSE claims on his thread:
"Torcoin is a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin featuring numerous improvements and innovations, such as full integration with the TOR network, stealth sending technology, and complete anonymity."
 
"There is never any need to 'mix' or 'anonymize' your TorCoins - they are anonymous by default. TOR is fully integrated with TorCoin, which means that a snoop or attacker watching your internet connection will not know if you are using TorCoin - and other TorCoin users cannot determine the physical location of your Torcoin node."
 
"Completely Untraceable. No one will ever know you are running a TorCoin node - your real IP is never broadcast to the network because TorCoin runs over Tor."
 

TorCoin communicates with other nodes over the regular internet. Your IP address can be seen by everyone! I was able to do a reverse lookup on a node and found a user on Comcast. His claims are misleading at best. I personally feel the creator of this coin has done this intentionally. It is my educated opinion that you avoid this cryptocurrency.

so why not the tor is taking any action against them, do you mentioned to them, and either it is against the law. I personally have no idea just want to learn here.

TORcoin uses many nodes to protect its user's privacy. When the virus blockers cannot figure out what this nodes are, they take it as a virus. Glad to see that TORcoin's reputation is being cleared up, great job iluvbitcoins!

Thanks

I am spending quite some time lately with Torcoin.

I believe with future development of the Windows wallet, the community is going to respond to massively.
Torcoin is lucky to have you as their marketing manager. Most manager wont do as much work as you do to keep the project clean. They will just leave the blame to the devs and say that they are only in the marketing area. I am now sure that this coin does have a nice community that will support them.
You are right because I am here on this forum for some time and done work with few others but no one giving any details and time for project @iluvbitcoins is doing really great work for them  Smiley
Thats true.I am glad to see that such people are associated with Torcoin who are dedicated to Torcoin success and goes beyond their required responsibilty to help Torcoin grow.
Now I am confident that Torcoin is going to stay here and will be $10 soon.

yes that is true and I am hopeful that they will continue and will make the project most successful and hope  that this coin will be count in list of top 10 coins.
i think the signature campaign and the exclusive campaign will really also helpful in making the project more and more successful, so these campaign should be continue for some more time.

yeah mate you right just hold your torcoin and buy more this is going to the mars 1 to 2 years 50 to 60$ price Smiley
We have many coins gone high with good team work and management I am feeling same for this just because of this buying for some long term investment because I have some good profit in XRP but not as its right now but doing some in TOR for also
i am also interested and want to hold some good amount  of TOR coin in the hope that a time will come when is price will be much more as compare to the present price of TOR coin.
340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin 20 Years From Now on: May 20, 2017, 07:50:12 PM
Into 20 years i believe bitcoin value will be over 10000 dollars, and in those time all countries will consider it a legal currencie or store of value, people will moove most of their savings into bitcoin expecting better results, soo i do see banks providing services with bitcoin, and you can use bitcoin anywhere.
i think it is very early to predict about the price of bitcoin. we cannot predict about the price of bitcoin 20 years before. but we can only hope that after 20 years the price of bitcoin will certainly be trading more high as compare to the preset price of bitcoin.
