It wouldn't be bad for sure but low prices have their merits too, you can accumulate more coins and some people are more likely to invest because for the same amount of dollars they can get bigger quantity of coins (yeah, it does matter - it's all psychology).

I would NOT agree that the ten commandments are good... since you brought it up, lets talk about them:

It was just an example showing that most atheist are willing to act "good" and "moral" without any religious rules telling them to do so.

Exactly!... now you get it!

People do not need religion to be good or moral... it is 100% unnecessary

Most religious people have never even read their holy book(s)... most christians can't even name 5 of the 10 commandments...

Their religion did not make them good people... they were good people before they were duped into believing religious nonsense

People are good... religions are bad...

"Without religion, good people do good things, and bad people do bad things... but it takes something like religion to make good people do bad things"
(example: flying planes into the towers on 9/11 would not have happened without religion)

I agree with you, but in some regions religion is needed, e.g. in Africa, there are tribes killing each other, if you Christianise them they'll form a new Christian tribe and they'll kill less. I think it would be difficult to get into their head without using religion.
I don't really get why these tribes fight, it may be because of their different religions  Grin

It's only when taking shower or also when standing for longer time? If it's when standing too then it can be some sort of spine problem. If only when taking the shower it may be some problem with your heart, you should never take too hot showers, making shower too hot may actually kill you (not joking).

Don't be lazy: you shoud link your channel, not merely write it's name.
Maybe we could promote each other, I'm going to start crypto-related website and I'll be looking for partners, but I'll take me probably at least several weeks if not months.
As for now I just subscribed to your channel, nice voice and pronunciation (as I'm not native English speaker that really matters) in 1st video  Smiley
45  Other / Off-topic / Re: I signed up to an ICO airdrop. Why do I now need to perform KYC? on: October 14, 2018, 09:45:54 PM
Whole KYC thing is crazy for me.
For example in my country it's forbidden for business to ask customer for copy of his ID, even bank's right to do so was/ is being challenged.
What's even funnier is that there are digital signature which could be used for this but I understand the cost may be the limiting factor (in my country it's over $100 per year) but I haven't seen KYC procedures accepting them.
Does your service accepts digital signatures?

I think this should be in scam accusations.
In past I was looking to use them but after reading some reviews and people's opinions on Hitbtc I decided to stay away from this exchange.

I'm sorry for your loss  Cry

Why does it matter to you, what a random internet user thinks? Would you try to convince me of your opinion, if I say yes?

That's what this forum is all about.
Would it not make sense to create, say, 10 wallets 31 BTC worth each? To give someone an extra opportunity? Why is it 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 310?
Yeah, that's strange and off-putting, there could be different sums but not that different.

With the amount of computer science knowledge needed to solve this, I'd personally better work on my own miner to live off devfee. At least, I'd be doing something useful.

I've seen only 0.1BTC solution and it wasn't that hard, I would call it CSI-style puzzle. And remember that's not the first puzzle, there are whole communities dedicated to solving such puzzles, so for them it's even easier.
48  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin should NOT determine the market on: October 14, 2018, 09:31:13 PM
It doesn't fully determine the market, if some shitcoin goes to the moon because of BTC rise in value people will dump and price will go downhill, but yeah, bitcoin price is good indicator of current crypto climate.
But it's good thing for Bitcoin itself as it shows it's very valuable asset that people will happily hold instead of alts.
For an altcoin to be not dependant on BTC price it should represent something more desirable that bitcoin, either because of it's profit potential (some kinds of shares) or stability (gold etc.).
49  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 310 Bitcoins to anyone who can solve the puzzle! on: October 14, 2018, 09:21:50 PM
Is the winner actually going to be rewarded with a whooping 310 bitcoin,sounds rather too good to be true for me..

The puzzle on the other hand looks impregnable,i really doubt someone will be able to come up with the trick..

This will definitely aid the promotion of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general

It's already solved,

More info can be seen here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042285

And as for difficulty level: I've seen solution 0.1BTC wallet and it wasn't that complicated, CSI style puzzles.

One more thing I forgot to add: why are you taking part in the airdrop? Because you see some potential in particular coin, if you're going to sell it at first occasion then maybe you're not supporting it enough? What if other people do the same? Of course if you can predict what happens next and beat the market then you should to it.
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange it or Hold it on: October 12, 2018, 09:31:48 PM
Sold small percentage and hold the rest. But in the first place work hard to accumulate as much as possible by the way of referrals etc.
It's based on my own experience, by selling fast you can protect your money but by selling too early you can ruin your life.
And it doesn't how much $ of particular currency you hold, even $10 worth of something may be very valuable later.
52  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about Bitcoin? on: October 12, 2018, 09:26:03 PM
I have love-hate relationship with it.
I hate I missed my opportunities to make serious money with it.
I love the decentralisation and freedom but at the same time I hate the fact it's used mainly for speculative/ illegal things. 
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stop Crying about Crypto (FOR ALL INVESTORS) on: October 12, 2018, 09:16:23 PM
People don't cry about dip in the price but about consequences it have on their life.

And if it make anyone a little happier: it's better to buy high and lose than buy low and sell too early  Undecided
54  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there any hope for me? Sold too early + health problems on: October 12, 2018, 09:14:05 PM
I am just curious for few fact, is your illness require time to heal or it is some type of chronic?

Chronic and if not treated it's getting worse and worse  Angry

Don't think it twice as having a lot of money will be useless when you're 6 feet under.

You probably don't feel the pain anymore so it's not that bad maybe.

How about this little theory:

A hacker has commited a grand bitcoin theft a while ago and is now trying to clear the trails to these Bitcoins through a puzzle. The one who will win the grand prize is the hacker himself, who can now hide behind the claim he has won the Bitcoins with his sheer knowledge.

Edit: Maybe the victims can ask for a subpoena to check a certain Binance account? Maybe there is another account at Polo, that might be interesting for LE.

A few addons to my theory:
(OP's wallet from 04-04-2018 until now)
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3KCEGC4GaATQCnzogrpSDRJLKAjWvgudmW (OP's wallet from 04-04-2018 until now)
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/13hLyfRHg7p9Zw7WHToRT67JR1HR92Mvxw (OP's wallet until 04-04-2018)




Just quoting myself. Well played, OP.

Ok, so you still think it was just money laundering?

I hope the winner makes a video on the solution. Would be glad to learn Smiley

I guess for privacy and tax reasons.. we might never really hear of the winner....!

I think that someone who was able to solve the puzzle know how to hide his identity  Wink
Congratulations to the winner Smiley

Let us know the solution.

I think I had solved 60-70% of the puzzle.


Coral, Item, Half, Road, Cry, Gun, Dumb - I guess these were the 7 words of the BIP39 Mnemonic

Loop, man, foil, baby, bag, zero - of these 5 words could be the remaining



I hope the pip or the winner makes the final solution public (if not the method used).

Awaiting the next puzzle:)

Oh man, any idea how many more words you needed?
Congrats on being so close  Smiley

if you look at adress its getting split in 25 btc seperates wallets. hmmmmmm Huh Huh

Maybe a team solved the puzzle and they're splitting the reward.
Or the winner doesn't fell secure storing whole amount in one wallet.

I see that people are enthusiastic about donating. I can suggest that in the future you leave a btc address for donations from people. Then when it's full enough, put together another puzzle to solve. So it helps keep the community entertained by solving puzzles, so I see this keeps everyone at ease. Thank you very much


Yeah, for sure, people will donate tens of bitcoins for puzzles, OK  Tongue

You can use apples as a currency, I pay your tomatoes with apples, then you buy fishes with apples etc. We don't need to get the apples regulated by the government. In the old time, the sugar was the only currency, then gold, then coins, then paper.

Don't forget about salt blocks. It's still being used as currency in some regions of Africa I think.

57  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you think of decentralized exchanges? on: October 12, 2018, 06:06:41 PM
if we speak about decentralized exchanges, most of new ICO that offers bounty program are really suffer because of them, because bounty hunters sell tokens cheaeper than ICO price. also this is very unstable market and easy to manipulate.

It's not decentralized exchanges fault, centralized exchange could also allow adding custom tokens and same would happen and even without this people could do this on bitcointalk and other forums/ services. Also there is no law that requires ICO bounty programs to reward their participants with tokens, they can as well give them some kind of points that are not (easily) tradable.

I would NOT agree that the ten commandments are good... since you brought it up, lets talk about them:

It was just an example showing that most atheist are willing to act "good" and "moral" without any religious rules telling them to do so.

Only 2 of the ten commandments are even good rules, and both of those were illegal for centuries before the Jews came along and gave credit to god for them

I wont discuss how many of them are good rules because everyone can have different opinion on that.
I don't think it's about giving credit to God, but almighty God and hell is another way to enforce people to follow these rules, to scare them - and this is why atheists hate religions for.


And, if they are such amazing commandments, why do the Jews, Catholics, and Protestants all believe in a different set of 10?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments#The_Ten_Commandments

There are many reasons for that, there should be one version of it ideally.

If god was any good at predicting the future, he would have made commandments like:
"Thou shalt not have sexual relationships with children (talking to you priests)"
or "Thou shalt not own another human being as a slave"

Haha, there are only 10 of them, looks like these things are not as important.
And slaves were common, do remember that these commandments are made by Jewish God and targeted at Jews, why Jewish people shouldn't be allowed to have foreign people who don't believe in their God as slaves?

4 and 6 are in direct conflict. God himself told people to kill other people if they were working on the sabbath. There is a passage where god makes someone, moises i think to kill someone else because he was gathering sticks on the sabbath.

Killing is not forbidden, murdering is.

Technology will always be ahead of everything in its time ! Early and payment terminals was not on the cards erased a protective layer to send SMS Smiley

Sorry, I don't understand what are you trying to say and at the same time I'm intrigued, could you please elaborate what are you talking about?

And to add to my list posted before, payment cards (Visa, Mastercard etc.) is hyped all the time, you can see their ads everywhere, their also directly earn from every transaction and millions of people and merchants use these systems.

Why bother signing up for the revolution if our bellies are full? Or just full enough?

I wonder if person who wrote this actually experienced starvation himself. Or even lack of electricity/ gas. Or revolution, not the bloodless one, one that starving people can start.
I stopped reading at this point.
