I wonder how many trucks and buildings you would need to fill with those stupid paper bills with if you wanted to see how much satoshi nakamoto's wallet was on venezuela's currency.
842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is Second Life starting to use Bitcoin? on: August 15, 2015, 06:44:58 PM
I remember trying second life once a couple of times, then I stopped bothering and forgot why, then more recently I came back to it again. There are way too many restrictions on that 'game' and it does revolve entirely it's in game currency being milked as much as possible. For instance, if you want to import a 3D Model into the game which is actually a very simple process by itself you unfortunately have to go and set up a premium account, here's the catch though they only take credit cards and no, I'm not talking about only taking mastercards I mean, they literally only take credit cards, no debit cards and of course no Bitcoin.

So what they're doing seems extremely dodgy to me and it's also limtiing people from uploading loads of stuff to Second Life and messing around in the universe as much as possible, if the signup process wasn't so ridiculous there would be loads of different second life worlds out there and models, but nope, they're fucking people around the same way all these micro-transaction infested games do.

Honestly, you'd be better off screwing around in GMod, at least on there you have your own dedicated servers and can import models easily this also reinforces my opinion that you just shouldn't have real curreny connected to computer games.

I never liked that game. It looks so goofy and generally cheap, it just makes no sense. Aesthetically it's a mess. If you want to waste some time on videogames there are certainty much better options.

I don't think it's a necessity that people learn anything that isn't the very basics of Bitcoin for mass adoption. People has no idea how the actual banking technology works, yet they use it. The adoption will happen naturally as it becomes more famous and easy to use, so we should put work on the software making something solid and easy and attractive first.
844  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Forking on: August 15, 2015, 06:27:03 PM
This means nothing until a hard fork happens and we are still lightyears away from the nodes needed for the hard fork to actually occur, so Bitcoin is still the same.
845  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you didn't get paid for your signature, would you still care about Bitcoin? on: August 15, 2015, 05:44:26 PM
I would always do my regular posting anyway, because im addicted to internet forums such as this one, because this is the only place on the planet I can share my enthusiast for Bitcoin, no one in real life knows what Bitcoin is so im stuck there.
846  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will happen if Bitcoin reach 1 USD exchange rate? on: August 15, 2015, 05:05:03 PM
It's pretty damn impossible at  this point. Way before we go anywhere near to 1 USD, people will buy millions worth of BTC, so forget about such low price. Also speculation subforum.
847  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? on: August 15, 2015, 04:24:19 PM
My preferred wallet is still Bitcoin Core. Why? because im paranoid about other non "official" wallets somehow failing on me, and im also nostalgic and like the old school vibe of it.
848  Economy / Exchanges / Re: LocalBitCoins Stops Service for New York Residents on: August 15, 2015, 04:23:14 PM
"This new regulation would require anyone selling Bitcoins through our service to acquire the BitLicense if they sell Bitcoins to residents of New York.”
It's just insane!?!

Lol it's just nonsense. Why would anyone use Bitcoin if they have to go through so many annoying loops and holes to get some currency? What was this Lawksy guy expecting? I hope everyone leaves NYC.
849  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Comedian Louis C.K Begins Accepting Bitcoin on: August 15, 2015, 04:21:57 PM
While im glad mega celebrities like CK Louis begin accepting BTC, I have serious doubts if their followers will have a clue what the hell Bitcoin is. Hopefully they are curious and check it out tho.
850  Economy / Economics / Re: Tell me your predictions about Bitcoin on: August 14, 2015, 01:08:30 PM
I think bitcoins grows more widely  it has more advantages than banks or other sources. It is like a government facility and can enjoy in bitcoins. Smiley

That's why governments and big institutions will not allow bitcoins grow in wider range. They try their best to limit bitcoin growth.

Governments will either try to pass more and more licenses like BitLicense or will try to start their own cryptocurrency.
851  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: August 14, 2015, 01:06:18 PM
now price bitcoin down to 276$
any 1 still hold it ?
i think price will be down to 250$ Cheesy

sell now before you late and buy back at 250$ Smiley

and now $261, up or down i dont know, I am confused as to sell it now or anytime ?

If you are here long term it should matter $100 up or down. That's nothing compared to 10 years from now, thats why I dont understand people panicking over it daily.
852  Economy / Economics / Re: EUR might drop below USD on: August 14, 2015, 01:04:49 PM
US still foots the bill of world diplomacy so why shouldn't the USD be the strongest currency?  Maybe when the world finally understands what leadership is some nation other than the US may build a stronger currency.  Until then, I totally wouldn't be surprised to see the USD top the Euro.

Well EUR is headed to collapse as well USD, but USD has more resources to keep the scam alive for a longer time. I predict a revolution of some sort by the south european countries that will destroy stability.
853  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: SABR monitors multiple blockchains to identify and locate criminal activity on: August 14, 2015, 12:54:51 PM

Well with all the pumps and dumps and scams in this field lately, this is what we need badly! I just tead that there are criminals in Netherlands that are asking for ransom in bitcoins, I mean what a hell. This is all we need so the mainstream world can point finger to us. I hope something like this can be successful in the future.

P. S. By thinking further, as fast as crypto field is progressing, something like this will be necessary in the future!

This will all be useless once DarkWallet gets released probably, but if there is a way to know the last time a coin "entered darkwallet so to speak" then whoever entered the coins into darkwallet is probably the criminal and will get investigated..
854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could Bitcoin Crash Gold? on: August 14, 2015, 12:52:32 PM
I do not think so, the price of gold is also always increasing, while bitcoin prices always go up and down

Lol in what planet does gold "always increase"? lets look at the all time graph



There you have it.
855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you tell kids about bitcoin? on: August 14, 2015, 12:51:16 PM
Simply put just dont tell them, I don't see people explaining kids how money works or how credit card and banking works. Explaining how to use it it's probably good tho.
856  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mining is clearly profitable still, why was cex.io allowed to defraud investors on: August 14, 2015, 12:30:00 PM
Cex.io Doesn't loose any think.  But the losers are Investors.

they should at least repay their investors, if they are not willing to continue with the mining otherwise it may be seen as a scam, if this is not the case already...

I don't think they will pay a single satoshi. Look at MTGox, Mintpal, and all the rest of the scams that got away with it without paying a single coin back to the customers.

Everyone will leave if the limit becomes 50 post a week.
858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the downsides to 8MB blocks? on: August 14, 2015, 12:22:48 PM

Personally I believe that this well overestimating the rate internet connection-speeds and hard-disk space will grow. Just look at ADSL or even cable for instance.


I don't think storage will ever be much of an issue. Bandwidth sure as shit is and they seem to be a little casual about that with the ever increasing block size proposal.

Nothing you can do about it yourself. You have to wait for your friendly phone company to come around and do some digging up and install major hardware upgrades.

My bandwidth is unchanged in over a decade and there's nothing on the horizon either. It suits my purposes fine but it's not going to like running a node in such a future.



Actually I don't think bandwith is that much of an issue. It will take a bit longer to sync but that's that, the worst part will be downloading the blockchain the first time, then if you open it daily is not that bad.
859  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is soft folk and hard folk? on: August 13, 2015, 02:23:15 PM
After reading a lot about this, here my EL5 version: A soft fork enables transactions that meet the conditions of the proposed fork but in the same blockchain, a hard fork actually forks the blockchain (actual blockchain split) and separates the transactions from one blockchain to another.
Hard forks only happen if 90% of nodes or something like that, support the client.
860  Economy / Web Wallets / Any blockchain.info clones? on: August 13, 2015, 02:21:07 PM
I've been trying to find a replacement, but none satisfies me enough, the layout on blockchain.info was too nice.

Any chances at a clone that doesn't commit the terrible mistakes we had in the past by blockchain.info?
