Approaching no, i don't think being a gambler. Because, only occasionally went gambling. Also, i think gambling is so stressful that i have trouble concentrating.
To be an expert you need to focus in gambling and that means you have to go full time because any distraction could lead to a bad decision making.
We always think we are good but we have to always learn from our mistakes, to be successful is not achieve overnight, it's a process that we should take and be patient enough and must have the discipline to control our emotion to effectively impose our game plan.

Why you need to be an expect in gambling. Most of the gambling investor whales loose their money only. In Las vegas casino or Thai casino everywhere you will be loose your money without any gaining your money invested on the gambling.
We need to invest the right platform which can give a decent income. If chooses like gambling you will face failure.
1182  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is mining and TRADING THE SAME on: September 25, 2017, 11:08:02 AM
Do I need a lot of GPU for trading like mining? And mining and trading is different right. So How will I learn buying a PC? because I only got my laptop here no desktop. Which is the easiest way to earn? Mine or trade?
It is really different. Mining and trading are not same. But both of them are risky because you need to start big capital in order to do trading and mining. I prefer to you just try to trade.

Trading is preferable to people who is unable to invest big fund because if you wish to buy ASIC miner it will definitely cost more than 1200$ and then you need to skilled to be get the profit.
Mining and trading are do not have any comparison because investment plays all the time in trading but mining is only initial investment and can gain everytime.
1183  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading sucks, I'll just hold my coins on: September 25, 2017, 08:02:35 AM
From what I have seen for the past 4 years, trading in Bitcoin (and the altcoins) is just like gambling. A select few may profit out of it, but the vast majority are going to lose their investment capital. I have stayed out of trading ever since I joined this forum. And I am doing just fine.  Grin
It is not like gambling don't mention gambling because gambling is a sin in many religions so i would like to say that trading in bitcoin is depended on luck that when bitcoin goes pump when goes down but in right ways it always goes up.

Oops you are taking it as too serious. There are many people in the world involves in gambling and many wrong activities. Some people compare it with gambling due they are facing bump and dump in the same time and facing lose right. That is the case. If you are skilled trader you will utilize both the time for your favour.
1184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What would you do with 10 eth on: September 25, 2017, 07:50:45 AM
At the current time I wont do anything, just keep them for the future, because the crypto markets are confused and buying altcoins or joining an ICO may be risky, ethereum itself is good investment.
All what we want there must be its risk, but it's good if you use 1-2 ETH for long-term trade or investment. because it can generate profits for you, and the rest you can bear.
10 ETH current price now will be equivalent to $2700. I think it's not too big money right ? if I had 10 eth of course I would first use it to grow and invest so I would get more etherum later on and of course I will also put a few percent like 1-3 eth in the wallet just in case if there is a feared thing to happen because all have risks

This is not big fund buddy, you will not be able to buy a car or land also so you can turns that altcoin to bitcoin by exchange it simply. Since bitcoin has the enormous bump value that amount eqvilent to btc.
Alternatively you can start trading also with that amount.
1185  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Projects you should start, we need! on: September 24, 2017, 06:44:50 PM
Interesting post on "new ideas". I'm also keen to see this forum generate newer ideas, or introducing better innovation. There are plenty of gems still to be found, but they tend to get easily lost under the pile of carbon copies. The "everything" idea is not practical, nor wise, in my opinion. There are still so many alts that don't even have a market outside of decentralised exchanges or P2P.

You only have to look at those exchanges that specialise in exotic alts to see that their models end up at nett loss when wallets fail and blockchains lose their nodes. You simply cannot sustain "everything". The hit you take to customer confidence is a risk not worth taking. Have you seen the rant posts of X exchange stealing 1000s of "XYZ coin"?

Thats why we want someone to jump in and start it.

If you gonna start the project and need of web maintenance team. In that case I would like to join hands with you build bitcoin related career along with you. It is pretty impressive idea from you buddy.  Please consider if I can help you.

1187  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Antminer S9. Is it best to wait for shipment batch or pay high price on ebay? on: September 21, 2017, 07:10:39 AM
I'm new to bitcoin mining. The Antminer S9 seems to be a good box. But is it worth paying a high price on eBay or just wait for their next shipment batch in november for lower price?? Will they ship enough units for the demand?

In ebay you can close your eyes and can buy the miner from there. eBay reserve a rights to send the ordered product to their customer. I knew you will be able to get the miner there but the cost would more than you find the direct bitmain. Since bitmain is not active to transfer their products now. You can go with the eBay reseller without any issue.
1188  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining with free electricity on: September 20, 2017, 07:08:37 PM
As everyone had said in the previous reply, you should consider the risk carefully. Whether the benefit outweigh the risk. if it doesn't, then it is like your just asking for trouble.

Since op said that he is working in military camp so I think you will not be able to take a risk to start mining. If you near to any computer market. Then you buy around 3 to 4 graphics card and start GPU mining. Altcoin mining is profitable with the graphics cards.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Favorite type of gambling? on: September 20, 2017, 06:48:17 PM
I really like the sports gambling game. Because I love football and I am always happy to predict every game that will be played. For me this is a pleasure because I can think and analyze what will happen. If I win then I will be happy and if I lose then I will keep trying. But keep in mind make gambling an entertainment and never make gambling a way to earn money.

Great I do love sports betting. I would like to play the football, tennis and cricket betting always because profit can be calculated according to the knowledge about the sports team and players. So we will be able to specify it and invest on the right team to win. For entertainment bitcoin gambling is not fit to the people who are all salaried.
1190  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin successfully defeated China on: September 20, 2017, 06:20:44 PM
I think this problem doesn't bother Chinese rich men. They're doing what they want to do in underground. They can not live without BTC also.
Soon they might announced some new alts from China, orthey will remove the banning. Chinese were into money amd business as always and ICo is the new thread of having business.

Finance wise Chinese market already started falling from year in the fiat cash worth and economy down fall. China is one of the biggest mining and other networking parts manufacturer in the world but bitcoin miner is stop for delivery by ordering in bitmain site which is chinese based.
1191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin finally legal in India on: September 20, 2017, 05:57:49 PM
the news is very good, so bitcoin users will increase and more and more investors who join in it, bitcoin development in the next era starting from the country of India.
World's first populated country banned bitcoin and now world's second populated country made bitcoin is legal money to use it. Where we need more more human efforts we can well utilize the bitcoin better than anything. Since they are not a developed country they have to learn more investment option to pull their country up. However congrats India citizens.
1192  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitmixer.io - Every end is a new begining on: September 20, 2017, 05:29:01 PM
Well, I created this thread to discuss about bitcoin mixing world.
Bitmixer closed their service and suggested every current mixer to close their services too. But as we see, they not only close but almost every day there are new mixers on market.
Bitmixer was biggest and trusted, they closed their service, we can call that big profit machine. No one will destroy ultimate profit machine without reasons, especially smart guy. So why do these people open mixers almost every day? What's their point? Do they believe that they are smarter than bitmixer? If yes, then when they were before bitmixer's close?

I'm defenately not disagreeing with you, however, bitmixer has stated they closed their mixer because they stopped believing every bitcoin user has the right to privacy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2042470.0). They might have had an alterior motive (they might have been forced to close shop, they might have been blackmailed,...), but they didn't give any extra motivation.
It's not because they had a change of heart, everybody should have a change of heart.

Personally, i'm a strong believer in privacy, and as long as mixing coins is not considered illegal in my country, i'll keep on stating that there is nothing wrong with using a mixer. I'll also stand behind any honest and reliable organisation that opens a mixing service.


Often heard about it but never use it, i dunno what the use of mixing my coin tho, it not like im criminal who need money laundry  Tongue but if someone out there want to open a mixing coin site thats mean he want profit  Grin
you don't need to be a criminal to mix your coins, your BTC doesn't have to originate from criminal deeds for you to want to hide how much BTC you own.

For example: you might have been doxxed in the past, so everybody and their mother know who you are, where you live, where your kids go to school and which address you usually use to receive payments. Wouldn't it be normal you wanted to break any link between your public payment address and your private address? If you didn't break the link between those two addresses, everybody would know exactly how much BTC you were holding, which would give them a great incentive to break into your house at night and take your family hostage untill you gave up your BTC... Wanting privacy != illegal.

For normal people being anonymous doesn't matter like you and me but the whales are expecting highly secured privacy to take in every transaction and tracking details of them.
Actually bitcoin mixer are widely used by whales only not by the low amount investors. For example you are having 0.05 btc means you don't need to split and send it. This is how it works.
1193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most successful ICO on: September 20, 2017, 05:17:01 PM
The most successful ico was nxt. ico price was 12 sat. Time right now is ardoung 1700 sat. Another successful ico was Spectrecoin. Token price in BTC at ico was 118 sat. Price now hovers around 10k and 15k sats. You can check ico prices in usd, eth or btc via https://icostats.com/.


If the token is this much low till this time then it is not been consider as a successful ICO. I recently noticed Dentcoin has intially find the amount what you said and after its value reaches to more 5 USD per coin. We need to choose the coin with the future potential else don't need to invest to it.
1194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Question of Bitcoin Price Change on: September 20, 2017, 01:51:48 PM
I think one of its main factors why bitcoins price skyrockets is mainly because of the news about bitcoin or any update about bitcoin; and of course the supply and demand of the coin.

News is just a factor which takes bitcoin to its users but for price change adoption, supply and demand will determine completely. I see again bitcoin price is started increasing from the past 5 days. If bitcoin price volatile every hour you please utilize the time and buy some bitcoins.
1195  Economy / Economics / Re: Central of the Philippines Recognizes Bitcoin on: September 20, 2017, 01:27:20 PM
It's good to know that lots of Asian countries are recognizing bitcoin, it's not only going to make the lives of lots of Asian people better but also it's a good sign for the consistent growth of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It's to be noted that people of the Philippines are very hardworking and honest and I'm sure they are going to take bitcoin to next level in terms of adoption, acceptance and popularity.

These adoptions will erode the Chinese ban of bitcoin. I noticed from last 7 days bitcoin there is many adoption has been added with the bitcoin. I thought we should be away from bank get bitcoin reach to all people. Still I worry that bitcoin should be a legal money and non taxation digital money to utilize it.
1196  Economy / Economics / Re: South Africa's Super market started accepting bitcoin on: September 20, 2017, 12:35:58 PM
That's a good news, with more countries and brand stores accepting bitcoin as payment. One such has happened in South Africa at present. Previously one of the largest retailer of Russia started accepting bitcoin. Hope the same will continue providing more circulation of bitcoin and make it more popular.

That is also again great information bro. Retailer should accept bitcoin. Few years before no one was know about Paypal in my city but some retailers start accept it then it is been popular to till laymen. These kind of moves will take bitcoin to moon very soon.
1197  Economy / Economics / South Africa's Super market started accepting bitcoin on: September 20, 2017, 12:12:18 PM
South Africa's second-largest supermarket chain tested bitcoin payments earlier this year – but it doesn't plan to roll out the option to its stores anytime soon, according to its CEO.

Pick n Pay, which operates in a number of African countries as well as South Africa, piloted a payment system in partnership with startups Electrum and Luno. That initiative was limited to a staff cafeteria, CEO Richard van Rensburg told BusinessDay in an interview, and is no longer active.

As for when the supermarket chain might expand the option to an actual storefront, van Rensburg demurred, pointing to a difficult regulatory environment as the root cause for hesitation.

Soon it will become in regular usage SA cities. Even you can expect bitcoin will be adopted in Wall mart, AL-Ghurair and many more soon.

Pass your suggestions about the super markets need to accept the bitcoin according to your view.
1198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help!! Transaction stuck for more than 5 days on: September 20, 2017, 11:08:27 AM
I sent winning https://blockchain.info/tx/bd3899bd7475338ed7e6c1f9432aa2f839243f068fd637380da8177d8cb53bc1
but transaction not confirmed..
I know that fees is low.
Who can accelerate this transaction please?

I already accelerated your transaction. You can submit manually in here https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm
so maybe you need it in the future, you can accelerate it by yourself.

@ don't accelerate the transaction because it has confirmed already. I don't think it get confirmed after you have accelerate it. Please check the tx id before you accelerate it. As of now I use accelerate the transaction with the viabtc accelerator site without any fees. Antpool may be consumes the high fees to get confirm it faster.
1199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin recovery on: September 20, 2017, 10:45:06 AM
thats a good question, are the cross transaction coins ever collected
by the exchanges? is it possible for them to collect them?

Luckily I have never sent coins to a different blockchain but I am sure
it happens a lot.

"Measure twice, Cut once!"



I don't think it is possible to collect the cross transactions, You can send the any transaction with default network pool to do not face any issue in transaction and it will get confirm with in some hours. If you are using desktop wallet also don't change the fees to low let it ny default.

What coin or token did you invest in the most ?

I am receiving newsletter email for bitconnect altcoins team every week. I have examine that coin and noticed its value now touches more than 110$ for one bitconnect coin.
To invest on tokens, I would suggest to invest on Dentacoin or Waves which increase much faster than other altcoins in recent days.
