1501  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Anyone else bought high? Worried? Still holding strong? (I bought in at $1080) on: December 18, 2013, 09:47:54 AM
I think given large periods of time we will see an eventual upswing to over $1000 but as to when it happens that is really quite unpredictable. Personally, I'm hoping to buy in somewhere on the way down so I can profit by hoarding over the long term, my advice would be to do the same. You may wish to keep the coin you recently bought, but my advice is to try and avoid buying at the ceiling (esp when it's been there for a while) as in all probability it's going to fall back down for a bit.

Yeah, I'm sorry but with the state this subforum is in your unlikely to get a loan unless you have some form of collateral, as there have been too many scams especially with newbies who have no trust/prior trading history. You might want to see whether you have anything to offer as collateral.

Continuing with this advertising campaign. As of 18/12/13 I have made 466 posts.

Thanks.

I would never use a browser extension as a wallet, or actually keeping my coins on *any* website.

Personally I use the electrum client, its been fantastic to date, open source, doesn't need the blockchain downloading, and doesn't rely on trusting a website operator. We've all seen how many coins have disappeared recently by people trusting "secure online wallets" to hold their coins. Don't do it.

Could not agree more. Electrum/multibit are fine clients to use if you don't want to try and download and synchronize with the whole blockchain and they do have options to encrypt your private keys. If you really want to use an online wallet, I would suggest only for small online transactions and keep your large stash on an encrypted cold storage device.

Looks like there are 10k registered users.  9900 users are obviously bots.  Boelens, you really should have some sort of spam protection :/

There are quite a few people who know about the domesticpineapple faucet and use it on a regular basis (mainly the newbies), so I'm not surprised that there may be quite a lot of legit users. As to botting, I assume if someone entered the same email twice it should be caught, and if someone bots with like 1K emails they have to check each and everyone of them which is a giant pain in the ass.

Thanks for the giveaway! Smiley

Can you make bounties bigger? Because btc is dropping.

Actually, the bounties were reduced primarily because BTC prices shot up from $150 to $1000 USD, so I doubt it'll go back up just because the price has fallen a bit from that mark.
1508  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: need to buy 4.25btc paypal on: December 15, 2013, 09:01:09 AM
Possibly.  I have had one individual offer to sell me 1.5btc, but they have a very low post count.  Am I at risk at all by using paypal?

Well you put yourself at risk if you agree to go first and they don't send. Then your forced into charging back which although it should go your way can always be a risk, personally I wouldn't take it as the person probably has no trust, but if you think you can chargeback safely if something does go wrong then you might opt otherwise.
1509  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: need to buy 4.25btc paypal on: December 15, 2013, 07:23:18 AM
Title says it all.  I need to buy 4.25 btc with paypal

Sorry mate but very few people would be willing to trade 3K via Paypal as in all likelihood you'll just chargeback and run with the BTC. Another issue is your new account with no trust whatsoever, so I'd advise you that this does look like another scam.
1510  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: WTB $10 dollar paypal on: December 15, 2013, 01:23:53 AM
At what rate are you selling for $10 USD? I'm quite happy if you wish to continue this discussion via PM.

satoshidice.com

He was asking for SPORT betting , did you even read his post?

Very few people actually read here before posting...

Anyways to answer your question my advice would be bitbook.biz and nitrogensports.eu, both have a nice interface and don't have too much vig on their lines which is always good. What sports do you like to bet on?
1512  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: WTB 0.16 btc by paypal on: December 13, 2013, 05:28:43 AM
Not sure if anyone would be willing to sell you in return for Paypal. There have been many incidents here that have instilled fear among sellers towars Paypal buyers.

Yeah, your new status also doesn't really help as generally people are more willing to do risky transactions with more trusted members. However the irony is you'll never get this trust without first doing some trading so it's really a catch-22 situation.
1513  Economy / Services / Re: Giving 25$ to compile my bitcoin-qt executable :) on: December 13, 2013, 05:24:51 AM
Why not use a cross-compiler on linux? That is how I compile Windows code on linux.

Also, what kind of modifications are you talking about. Could be you made a backdoor and want to hand out fake wallets to people on windows Sad

But that could just be my cynicism talking.

In all probability it is quite likely that there are some malicious changes somewhere along the lines. After all what kind of functionality would someone need to add so desparately to the Bitcoin client.
1514  Economy / Services / Re: Earn up to 0.31 BTC/month for your signature - advertise BitcoinSports.eu! on: December 13, 2013, 05:21:10 AM
I wonder whether people realize that the rates have fallen by a factor of ten. This signature campaign doesn't seem to be as good value as some of the others and there have been quite a few problems with unpaid investors and gamblers on the site.
1515  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAMMER - everglide on: December 12, 2013, 11:12:26 AM
This is one of the main reasons why you don't deal with newbies especially with people who created their accounts ~12 days ago and hence are likely to be simple throwaway accounts. My advice to you if you truly did not receive the agreed upon BTC would be to initiate a chargeback (for once a legit chargeback lol) and see where that ends up. Hopefully you'll get your money back.
1516  Economy / Gambling / Re: earn free bitcoin with martingale technique on: December 12, 2013, 09:25:36 AM
It's hard to lost six times but if you lost, you should do 2x bet more.

That's not true at all, with martingale your only doubling once you know you've lost the previous bet at which the result of the event is known. Hence it has no implication on the future bet so the probability you lose on the (n+1) case after losing (n) cases is still 50%. Don't be stupid enough to think that losing 1000000000000000000000 times will mean you don't lose the next one. Anyways, 1 in 64 is still a reasonably probable occurrence, so if you want to lose all your money go try martingale.

What do you mean you give us free money ?

Don't bother listening to that guy, hes just trying to spam his referral link so that hopefully someone signs up and he makes a commission. I wouldn't get into cloud mining until you know what your doing, so do some more reading and understand that no-one gives you free money (aside from the faucet which give you like 0.00000000001 anyway). Understand what your getting into before investing is the best advice I can give.
1518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has there been a time when you nearly lost your faith in Bitcoin? on: December 11, 2013, 10:30:49 AM
Yeah, sure I've had multiple times when I've almost thrown the ball away and just completely quit, but in the end I've stuck it out (most of the way) and for it I've gotten better (mostly monetarily). Although as far as interest goes, I've peaked then done nothing then peaked again etc so I can't say I'm always on the ball when it comes to Bitcoin.
1519  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's intrinsic value on: December 11, 2013, 10:27:49 AM
No, if people would not value something, why the heck would they want to buy it in the first place (i.e. create demand for it)? Value is the cause of demand, demand is the effect of value, if this clarifies things a little. The notion of supply is superfluous here and, yes, it is caused by demand (either open or hidden)...

I think we're both confusing which "value" the other is talking about.

Value
1. the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
2. estimate the monetary worth of (something).

Your saying that because someone perceives to value (no. ) a G/S they will purchase it, or be willing to purchase it thus creating demand. My argument is that it is this demand which in turn results in it having value (no. 2).

Hi, i am new here.
I try to gamble on some BTC sites but like in every gamble you need lot of luck.
I didn't have it so i lost some uBTC.

Any one tried sporting sites ?

Yeah, don't go with gambling on dice sites and the ones which basically are pure luck. I would suggest if you want to gamble get into sports betting, it's a lot more fun and you can use your knowledge to help beat the bookies (i.e it uses some degree of sill rather than just pure luck).
