I'm not sure that's the best reference for someone to get started.
That article from early 2014 recommends Mt Gox and stated that the block reward for mining is 50 BTC.

Nothing concrete enough for me to make a trade. I was short until this morning. Not sure where we are headed and I'm not seeing anything definitive enough to take a position.

I can make a guess on what the 3 day might do... which would be very bullish if we had a bullish engulfing candle that covers the 3 previous reds.

That's why traders should be careful with leveraged positions in a volatile market like bitcoin. It's also wise to place tight stops on your positions so you don't get wiped out on a bad trade.

You can actually earn a decent amount from faucets with referral links, but that would require a site.
Since you're a Senior Member you should absolutely have a sig campaign, you'll get paid out much better than faucets for doing what you already do (post on bitcointalk).

Yikes not my day today. Thanks for the heads up, this has been resolved.

Not a bad idea, or even let the user choose the explorer they want to use.

There are lots of choices out there.
I like:

https://blockexplorer.com
https://chain.so
http://btc.blockr.io/

No proof that those were solved by bots.
Based what I'm finding, funcaptcha is the best defense against macros and bots.

I'm going to stick with funcaptcha for now.

No captcha is 100% safe from bots.

Changing your captcha service every so often probably isn't a bad idea though. I would assume the attacker has a list of recaptcha sites vs solvemedia vs areyouhuman etc and then puts a specific bot for each site? It seems like bots are specific to the captcha type and not universal. So if you change your captcha service every so often it might annoy the botter enough to stop targeting your site.

I guess it would depend on the type of business. If you are making homemade jelly and you want to sell it online for bitcoin, you are not going to need a special bitcoin license. If you are going to be holding other people's coins like an exchange that's when you are going to need a license.

Thank you for letting me know about this issue guys. I found the error that was causing the times to get all messed up.
It has now been fixed, and this won't happen again.

Yes thisir would be useful. There are many publishers that are looking for betree paying ad networks. Currently, nothing comes close to adsense payouts.

Interesting... okay I'm away from home right now. It might be the way I have the function written, it operates without crons. I'll rewrite it tonight when I get home.

Hmm that's strange... the time is set when you click the Start button with a successful captcha and is based on your BTC address. I'm noticing several other people that are able to claim every 30 minutes. So if you claim on your cell phone with your BTC address, and then try to claim again on your laptop before the 30 minutes has passed you will hit the time limit breach since the timer is based on BTC address.

The legendary doog even tried!
I think these dust addresses and keys will float around with a balance for a while. It's just not worth the effort to write out a 5 input raw transaction in core just to receive 0.00002 after the 0.00003 in fees. And it's too much work to write out a 100 input raw tx let alone these are filled with 3,000+ inputs.

Thank you lelouch.
Yeah you received 312 satoshis not just 12.
Then you must wait 30 minutes between claims.

Awesome job, 1st guess!
I won't be changing back to solve media or recaptcha due to bots.

Yea it has a dashboard and tells you how many puzzles have been started, how many completed successfully and how many bots it has blocked.

Got my 500 satoshis thanks.
I think you should consider removing the pop-up ad when the user clicks on the input box. Pop-ups are disliked by many users.

I think you are dismissing die-hards and fanatics in that equation.
There are still people that play Quake III and pay for servers even though the game is 16 years old. There is still a select few that still play.
I know bad example, except for those of us in the 30's age group.
Anyways my point is that there will always be a demand and use for bitcoin. If not by mainstream then at least by niche users and diehards. There are some people that wouldn't be able to resist buying 100,000 BTC for $10.00.

A zero price could only be achieved by a major flaw in the protocol that either revealed private keys, or allowed people to generate 'counterfeit' bitcoins.

The transition from solvemedia over to funcaptcha was really smooth for me. Let me know if you need any help with it. Already up to 155 bots blocked since the switch.
