The point is 10G is near impossible to get , even 5G and 4G is really difficult to get. 3g and 2g pretty much useless though, to use technologies like 10G they should grow the infrastructure  and upgrade their equipments.

The coins look interesting but nothing special though  Undecided. They should offer more creative designs and materials for the coins, anyway good luck for them !
743  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-04-10] CS - Secret Startup ’21 Inc’ Joins Bitcoin Job Fair on: April 13, 2015, 08:11:00 PM
They raised $100M since 2013 iirc, I really wonder what 21 Inc is about. Apparently they have something to do with hardware, as you can tell from their job postings: https://21.co/#jobs
Yes 21 Inc seems to be really mysterious and interesting, they may manufacture mining rigs or hardware wallets ? I hope they reveal more info about themselves and what they do.
744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your opinions on Online Gambling and Bitcoin on: April 13, 2015, 08:06:22 PM
i think that online gambling should be regulated in some way, now with bitcoin, people feel even more secure to gambling(it sound like an oxymoron) but really it is the true, maybe put a limit on the bet or something?

because many of them can't stop playing until they lose all(and i know how they feel fortunately i have good selfcontrol), and with bitcoin i find that it is even worse then regular fiat, because they can play with more anonimity
I agree, bitcoin gambling services should be more regulated and taxed. It's not bad enough that many gambling sites ruin lives but they  probably don't even pay taxes or worse they don't have a license to run gambling business. More laws and regulations should be made to control the online gambling to make it safe and better.

Some months ago a veteran poster said that there is big news to be expected around mid-April. I can't find the thread.

Anyone?
Sounds interesting and mysterious, probably another big service will accept bitcoin or satoshi will reveal himself ? Until the 15th we have to wait and speculate what it is, it might just be nothing Cheesy
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Better than bitcoin" altcoin sellers arrested for stealing $340 million on: April 13, 2015, 07:59:43 PM
Holy cow $340 million  Shocked. How in the world did they manage to scam to much money? Really sad to hear that people lost money on this, be careful were you invest people.
747  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: April 13, 2015, 07:56:25 PM
Of course people can cut a lot by not eating out, by not buying small gifts for themselves on impulse, you don't need to drink coffree and alcohol at all, smoking is bad... You will be fine living with only mineral water and eating rice with vegetables everyday. But that is not the way, people are saving money just because they want live a better and more luxurious life, and not to be constantly pinching themselves about everything they buy, you can become a hermit and a saint by living by your rules...

I don't save because I want a luxurious life. I save because I want to make sure that I will be able to manage my life when I am old and not be dependent on anybody.
People save because they want to make sure that they are not caught wanting in case there is a medical / other emergency.
People save so that they can leave their loved ones a little legacy when they die.
There are a multitude of reasons for saving.  Smiley
The main reason why the most people save is to secure their future when their got old and they can work, so that they have a money even if they have no work. Saving is not a joke if you start it finish it so you can have a luxurious life with your love ones. It is useful when theres a emergencies and you can use it for your sake but, remember think if your sake is good for you and good for other sake.
Don't be the person that saves every single penny, it's not worth it. You have to keep a balance between spending and saving. I knew many people who wouldn't eat some days just to save $10 for cigs and alcohol or other useless stuff. Money is meant to be spent and enjoyed so once in a while go and buy something for you. You can get old and save as much money as you can but what's the point ? You will probably be old and to tired to do anything with it.
748  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: April 13, 2015, 07:53:08 PM
My advice on saving money would be to  cut unnecessary spending, instead of Pringles just buy a supermarket brand or other versions that are cheaper. Cut cigs, alcohol and other unhealthy stuff if you can, you bought something and didn't use it at all ? Don't be lazy and go refund it. There are many ways to save money and there are many reasons to save money.

Welcome to the forum Jaques, really cool to see people like you from South Africa involved so much in bitcoin. Keep it up Smiley

I've bought a couple games off steamloader gift codes and it was all good.
I recommend steamloader too, fast delivery time and always steam codes available. Although they take $1 above price which is probably ok since they try to earn a living with it Cheesy

Interesting article about android wallets. I personally use the blockchain.info one, since it has a cool design and doesn't crash every 2 minutes. I hear the circle wallet is good as well I may try it out in the future.

Even if it was Saudi Arabia, the US needs the Saudis more as an ally than an enemy. They will probably wait until nobody speaks about this story so people will forget.
754  Other / Politics & Society / Re: NASA & Obama wants you to know about aliens! + Men In Black Russian Documentary on: April 13, 2015, 03:41:55 PM

we all want to know about them. Who doesn't?
Right from our childhood we all had dreams about them.
It's all just show to make the President look more human-like. I mean even if there were aliens and obama knew it he couldn't reveal it because the files would be kept secret.
755  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Cop "accidently" shoots and kills man. on: April 13, 2015, 03:37:54 PM
What does it mean accidently Roll Eyes , c'mon guys all the cops are bastard. Another victim of a cops, maybe we must start to call them terrorist because they bring to the citizen a sort of terror.
Yes I think cops should be trained in similar situations so they can handle it better and not by killing someone. They should implement more psychological tests aswell.

Seriously this is unbelievable , how could they rape a 9 years old ? These aren't humans they are something way worse, I hope nobody has the faith of that little girl.

It's in the nature of humans to hate and love. You choose which wolve you feed  and how much you feed it .
758  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which problems do bitcoin help to solve ? on: April 13, 2015, 03:13:58 PM
This is good but I usually see skeptics asking this and they don't get convinced no matter what argument you make.

The most asked question I see from beginners is "How can I earn Bitcoins" ?
If you have any pictorials on that, it'd be great.

PS: I think it need more colors. It looks too simple.
Agree, it needs a better flat design  with more colors and illustrations to make appealing for readers.
759  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: easy way that get me bitcoin on: April 13, 2015, 02:59:03 PM
Yeah don't get into ponzies or gambling. those are both great ways to lose your bitcoin in the long run.
But if you can start a ponzi? And the be a first man to create legit ponzi? Is that possible in theory?
In most countries running a ponzi is illegal. I don't think there is any way you can create a "legit ponzi". You can probably run one and base the site around a fact that it's a ponzi, but I'm thinking that would probably be illegal as well.
Didn't someone from Texas get 40 years prison sentence  for running a bitcoin ponzi? Juts stay away from ponzis guys.
