Finally Slush Pool has started signaling BIP 91, https://blockchain.info/block-height/476713

50 from 66 at 81%, 16 block difference, might get locked in.

There can't be two bitcoins in the same ecosystem anyway.If still the split happens,we will have a bitcoin and another altcoin. I read through the post,preciously written but hey do you think all the miners would play safe ? There is this little chance the split would still happen I feel.

I'm glad it will be working in bitcoin's favor.The post theymos wrote (which appears on the forum page) should be easy to understand.

Hi

After reading of lots of thread regarding 1st Aug 2017 I still didn't understand anything. Because I am not a tech guy. I am an investor and Invested my money into bitcoin and stored on blockchain.info BTC wallet.

But what will happened on 1st Aug 2017 I don't know and may be some more users also don't know. Some user said that blockchain.info BTC wallet is also not safe. That's why I make a decision after reading this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2012799.0

As admin - theymos recommend that storing my bitcoin to Electrum wallet is more safe then other place even I am not confirmed what will happened on 1st Aug 2017. So I downloaded the Electrum BTC wallet on my PC and create a Standard wallet and transfer my BTC from blockchain.info to Electrum Wallet.

Regarding creating Wallet what are the information I have to save or write down on my diary or somewhere else. Please guide me.

So my question is
Is it safe to create a Standard wallet or wallet with two factor authentication?
Is it possible to upgrade this wallet with two factor authentication?

If Bitcoin split then both type of Bitcoin shows on my Electrum wallet and I am able to spend both type of Bitcoin from my Electurm Wallet.

I have also installed Electrum Android version on my Mobile.

Bitcoin as a course or any related currency on web.
In my country we have multiple courses in computer especially programing and web developments. My course is also information technology, but i've never heard or learn about online currency as bitcoin. In present, and future studies is there any chances for inserting about it in education. In your country is it available?
It would be better for any country to adopt bitcoin in educating new generations. Instead of playing games and wasting money in surfing xxx sites.

The current User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF), including BitcoinABC, is a proposal to alter the Bitcoin protocol by creating a new version of the Bitcoin software, which will operate on its own, separate blockchain. The UAHF is incompatible with the current Bitcoin protocol and will create a separate blockchain. Should the UAHF activate on August 1, Coinbase will not support the new blockchain or its associated coin.

Customers that desire access to UAHF coins should withdraw their bitcoin from Coinbase by July 31.

I'd like to ask you all another newb question, with regards to quickly being able to do the math on bitcoin price. Specifically, when you're on the exchange and you're wanting to buy/sell. I'm used to everything being priced in U.S dollars, so I'm having something of a hard time figuring out exactly how much I'm buying. Since the exchanges only deal in the price of bitcoin, and won't tell you how much you're paying in USD.

 
When I go to buy something and I see a price like "0.00000380 BTC" I have a hard time figuring out how much USD I'll be spending to buy x amount of that coin. How do you deal with this? Especially with the constant flux of the price of bitcoin.

 
I found this site, but it won't show you tenths of a cent. It only goes down to $0.01. Is there another site out there which you can do quick conversions of bitcoins to dollars, even if the amount is less than 1 penny?

A block was mined that is version 0x30000000 - https://blockchain.info/block-height/476482

0x20000000
0x20000002
0x20000010
0x20000012

0x20000002 = BIP141 deployment
0x20000010 & 0x20000012 = Segwit2x / BIP91 deployment

What is version 0x30000000  ?

I'm sad, I don't see bitcoiners anymore. Everybody only talk about money, money and money.
When I begun in 2012, I remember a lot of people talking about to figh against banksters and centralizations. Satoshi were our god and their ideals our bible but now Money is the god and I'm the atheist in the middle of this church full of newbies, haters, dumbs and greeddy's people.

Where are them?

Weeks ago, I am discussing Bitcoin to my sister and my future brother-in-law (then) When they got married recently, both of them were unemployed and have been trying to get a job immediately after their marriage. Up until now they have no luck. My sister then decided to talk to me about how do I earn Bitcoins. I gladly explained it to her and then she decided to do it too. She was so happy that she is already earning bitcoin and had some extra budget while they are both unemployed. And now, she is so eager to learn more how to earn more coins.

Being unemployed drove her into engaging to Bitcoins. Maybe some people are like this. They grab Bitcoin when they are in need of money. And since that these people are now engaged in Bitcoin, I am sure that they will stay in Bitcoin and treat it as an investment even though they will have a decent paying jobs in the future.

Is it even possible? I tried to Google and found some answers, but I don't trust Google, I want user experience.

I'm using the script https://github.com/ExploreBTC/BitcoinGrind and I'm having issues with some faucets. They just do not open. I've seen this happen in other rotators and I know it's not exactly a script problem, but in some rotators when this happens they simply load a page saying "this faucet needs to be opened in another window", like a link. Does anyone know how to do this?

If BIP148 activates then UAHF will be alive on the same day. The UAHF chain will protect the economic transactions that are under risk of reorganization because of UASF. Later, we will support the activation of SegWit on the UAHF chain if there is no patent risk associated with SegWit and if the arbitrary discount rate of witness data segment is removed.  

The ABC specification falls in line with mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain’s hard fork protection plan against a User Activated Soft Fork (UASF), but Bitmain has not officially endorsed the ABC project.

Bitcoin ABC is a full node implementation of the Bitcoin
protocol. We have removed the controversial SegWit code,
replacing it with a simple, sensible, adjustable blocksize cap.

Hi,
As told in the subject, I bought bitcoin on Monday morning (1am) with blockchain.info platform. I looked at my bank account, there are two lines corresponding to this transaction (2*the amount) on waiting. Then I looked in my bitcoin wallet, it's written that the transaction has been made yesterday (so on monday) and I have the same unique amount... Is that a bug ? Or is that the normal way ?
And when i want to sell my BTC, I can't : there is a pop-up saying I have to wait 6 days. ("Please bear with us as our exchange partner verifies your payment information. This will happen once, and you may resume buying/selling in 6days").

Thanks in advance for your answer.

We currently offer users in the SEPA region the option of buying bitcoin within their Blockchain wallet through our partner Coinify

Once your order is submitted the transaction will be In Review. The exact length of time a transaction takes to complete varies by amount, country and payment option.

Until the documents are uploaded and all steps from the registration/authentication completed the transaction stays in a pending status and bitcoins can be sent only once the whole process is closed, the documents reviewed and approved by our compliance team.
If the process is not closed and the full procedure completed within 72 business hours from the time the order has been created,the order expires and an automatic refund is issued and sent back to the customer's account. Note it might take a few more days for the refund to show on your bank account.

German Klimenko have claimed, that Russian Federation will fight any anonymity in Internet and will not recognise the crypto money.

He claimed, that the State will not recognise any value to crypto money.

According to the adviser of the President, the existence of viruses possible thanks to the availability of anonymous payment systems. “Thanks to an anonymous means of payment viruses and live,” he concluded.

The common goal is to save trust of general public and investor to the hole crypto economy, rather than just a Bitcoin (which is still almost synonym for the majority of people).
So, God (diligent people) forbid, if something goes wrong, the damage to crypto economy reputation will be catastrophic.

But, thanx to (diligent people) there are some other instruments that are (a kind of) alternatives to Bitcoin, and nevertheless still are crypto assets or coins.

So major advices we could read now in various media are:
1. Stop doing any kind of operations during uncertainty period (for approximate 2 weeks since 31 of July);
2. Convert your BTC(XBT) tokens into fiat money till uncertainty period is over;
But all this options provoke ether tension or panic.
So (guess not only me who agree) what about option nr. 3:
3. convert your BTC crypto to some other crypto (which are not less reliable but still alternatives to BTC).

Benefits:
1. Crypto market capitalization remain the same, that will extinguish the panic;
2. Users are still able to make crypto operations during Bitcoin uncertainty period;
3. If something go wrong with BTC users will not loose their money (because money are in other crypto assets);
4. If everything go well users will return to BTC with no damage to general crypto economy reputation.

bitcoin is honestly becoming hard to follow, each day they come up with a new name for something new or most of the time the same thing. just in disguise!

can someone give a quick summary of what this new one called bitcoinABc is?

Never fear, the big blockers will be back with their next hard fork coup attempt in the guise of bitcoinABC.

On 22nd July 2017, we will be launching a brand new BCC mining pool and lock the activation time of UAHF at 12:20 1st August 2017 (UTC Time).

If you decide to switch and mine on the BCC chain, you will still be mining BTC before UAHF activates at 12:20 1st August 2017 (UTC time) and switch to mine BCC after UAHF is activated.
