Make a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0. Also remember to use escrow.

If I understand correctly, the "currency exchange" section is to cater for trades between bitcoin and fiats (and payment services like Paypal, WU, etc).
Trades between altcoin and bitcoin don't really belong there.
Sorry, going to delete my past post.

Not safe enough, although you now have the control of your private keys, you need to generate them on a offline computer to avoid malware compromising your private key. I would suggest you to download Bitaddress.org's source code and run them on a offline linux computer to generate your BIP38 Private key.
8923  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Radeon HD 4670 AGP mining? on: June 24, 2014, 11:33:26 AM
I'm actually mining POT (potcoin) on suremine.com and I already got the pc mining on cpu but it's single core so only gets like 1.5khps
It already has the card in it and since it's going to be switched on for cpu mining I thought trying to mine on the gpu would be a good idea; the electricity in my flat is free, also
With the hardware I have I wouldn't dream of mining bitcoin, but if it's possible to get this card running at all I'd really love the help!

Thanks for all your responses so far, what a helpful community Smiley
Agree with previous post regarding profitability not really being there anymore for GPU mining.  If you have free or near free electricity you might want to check out one of the X11 or X13 coins, possibly Keccak (maxcoin), or a scrypt-n coin (vert).  Good luck.
How'd I do this?
FREEE?? Why don't you buy some hardware and mine it in your flat? Buy some cheap ASICs with good efficiency and you can mine in your flat for free.

Amount: 1 BTC
Period: 2 Weeks
Collateral: Reddcoin
Looking for a reputed lender with previous experience in lending.

If you have that much Reddcoin, just convert it into bitcoin.   
Some people believe that their Alt coin would rise in value in the future. It would be a waste to use their Alt coin to trade for a bit of bitcoin for a short amount of time, when they can easily get it back in the future. The same reason as you don't want to sell an old valuable car just for that amount of money, when it would grow in value.
Just as much risk that the value will go back down too.   Borrowing is a certain cost and isn't worth it for the loan sharking that goes in the BTC world.  (Unless you are the loan shark.)  
That is why 20% extra of the alt coin is needed. And also interest. If the value for the alt coin does go down more than 20%, the lender can still cover a bit of the loan if the brorrower defaults.

Martingale can work if sites didnt play dirty like max bet limit and you have lots of money.    Thats why rich people are smart enough to stay away from gambling and the reason why they rather play poker
Not really, you can bust without hitting the site's max bet. Martingale just doesnt work in the long run.

I realized pretty quickly that mining is pretty much obselete altogether for an average person. To keep up with it you need thousands of dollars in hardware and your returns diminish constantly.
Also, consider about the time taken to manage the hardware, electrical cost, cooling equipment cost.
Edit: And efficiency
8928  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin Generator? on: June 24, 2014, 06:21:14 AM
"functional". If that is really functional, I bet the value of BTC would only merely be a few mili cents. They are either trying to spread a virus or trying to troll you. They can be stealing your wallet or even mine Bitcoins using your computer hardware.
8929  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: CPU mining problem on: June 24, 2014, 06:18:46 AM
I'm using Guiminer but nothing is shown on https://mining.bitcoin.cz



You are using Nvidia GPU, futher more, a older one. It is hard to even get a share. AMD GPU are more suited for mining purposes although they are too, getting inefficient. Try to get a BTC ASIC if not, you are wasting your time. The best would be investment into BTC rather than mining as they are hard to ROI. You can also mine some ASIC resistant coins.
8930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there any difference in the 64bit/32bit bitcoin-qt? on: June 24, 2014, 06:16:36 AM
I'm just wondering because I have a 7mbps down connection and I know that's not extremely fast but I should at least have most of the blockchain downloaded by now and I'm still above 2 years behind. I know in the past when I've done this or had to do this it was done within a day but I'm going on more than that.
Your peer's internet speed can also affect your syncing of the blocks. Your HDD write and read speed can also affect your syncing rate. Mine was synced within a few days on my HDD drive.
8931  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Best way to transfer my BTC into cash? on: June 24, 2014, 06:14:37 AM
Finding a local Bitcoin ATM which accepts 2 way transactions or localbitcoin would be one of the best choice.
8932  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Best pool for smaller mining rigs? on: June 24, 2014, 06:08:44 AM
You can try f2pool.com (discus fish) or btcguild. F2pool is the second largest pool and is in China. I would go for btcguild, but it's pool luck is running low. You should get a fair bit more from either of those pools because I read that slush is only worthwhile for faster miners.
Actually in the long run, the payout should be more or less the same. Except if the fees are different. I wouldn't recommend OP going for those who charge fee since it takes a portion of the earnings.
8933  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Best pool for smaller mining rigs? on: June 24, 2014, 06:00:51 AM
I searched on the forums, but all I found was kinda dated, basic information on pools. I'm just wondering if anyone has personal experience with similar hashing power at a pool that would make more than slush's pool is right now. I'm making roughly .00032 per round right now on slush, and when I first started almost a year ago, I was making just about .01 per round. Obviously its gonna go down, but I'm barely making anything right now :/ I was using p2pool.org occasionally, but lately that doesn't even seem to work at all.

Any thoughts? Looking for someone close to my situation who's fairing a little better than me with their pool. Thanks!
There is no best pool. Your payouts will be the same in a few pools ( Assuming there are no fees) within 6 months. Mining certainly isn't the best money earning method right now as the difficulty is going up quite fast. You might want to try to mine at Eligius, I had good experiences with them.
8934  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: GPU Mining. on: June 24, 2014, 03:28:30 AM
Mining BTC using it isn't an option. Try mining ASIC resistant alt coins with it, no guarantees of ROI though, since they can be a pump and dump coin.
8935  Economy / Services / Re: NEWBIES & JR MEMBERS Signature PAYMENT - NEW RATES! on: June 24, 2014, 02:20:10 AM
Do you really think you will get these big rates? His site haven't even turned around 1 coin just some mbtcs and you expect to get paid this mutch?
Silly newbies.

Actually I've been paid out by him 3 times.
Then this is whole next dimension of spam it seems, and it could get all signature campaigns banned cuz of too mutch spam on the forums.
All of the campaigns require constructive posts. This can deter spams as OP don't count non counstructive post. If there are no signature campaigns, I don't think people would be very motivated to post constructive post here.
8936  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Sending BTC on: June 24, 2014, 02:09:08 AM
Do you have nodes connecting to your client? Is your blockchain fully synced? Try searching on blockr.io

I've already re-sent the BTC and re-downloaded the blockchain.

It was synced with conections, I have a feeling it might of been because I closed the client before any confirms.
Shouldn't be so, try to see the address at blockr.io. Once you send it, the nodes will broadcast it among the network. You can try to wait for a few minutes before closing it.
8937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: X11 Mining on: June 23, 2014, 02:54:59 PM
I'm using ltc rabbit and wondering if I can gpu mine and cpu mine with the same rig?
CPU mining generates a lot of heat and shortens your lifespan of the rig. It is possible but you are adding extra heat to the rig without actually gaining a lot more hashrates. Also, consider buying a scrypt ASIC, GPU mining would not be profitable very soon.

CPU mining may not be profitable when compared to GPU mining assuming the coin you are mining can be mined using both CPU & GPU, but to say that CPU mining generates a lot of heat and shortens the lifespan of a rig is insane! Unless the cooler on your CPU is faulty, or the thermal paste is dry, the CPU shouldn't overheat in the first place. That is a misconception.
CPU mining should get your cpu to the 70-80 degrees range and would degrade your computer over time. It pegs your CPU at 100% 24/7. It should degrade your cpu even if you don't make it overheat.
8938  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CEX.io GHS Bubble ? on: June 23, 2014, 02:17:48 PM
I was mining on the ghash.io site for a while do to its good statistics and data, then buying ghs with the BTC I earned to give more more mining power while i sat on them, rather than leaving them in a wallet. Didn't make me much, but it was stil worth it
They charge a very high maintenance fee, the price of GH is dropping quite fast, the withdrawal fee is 0.001. You should have lost a portion of your money.

There is a reason why they sell their shares instead of mining for themselves, it is impossible to hit ROI , but people won't listen and end up losing BTC when the price went down for the past few months. Most cloud mining will not be likely to hit ROI. They charge you a fee for trading with their overpriced GHS and charge you a high fee to withdraw and the minimum requirement to withdraw is also quite high.
