81  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: miners and full-node - the real numbers... on: November 18, 2015, 10:03:41 AM
These numbers are too low, 21 miners, that's a joke. 5500 nodes are to few either.

5500 nodes are too few either - that is right... but the REAL numbers are even lower than that: currently much less than 5200 and dropping on daily basis. The sad fact is that THERE IS NO WAY to increase the number of bitcoin core nodes worldwide.

Too big of a mempool requires a huge amount of ram and it isn't feasible for most people as most just run a node on a raspberry pi. The worst thing is, most have less than 1gb ram. Some nodes limit connections to reduce resource usage and it wouldn't display in the bitnodes snapshot at all.

Signature campaigns are still effective when talking about advertising. Even if it goes above $1000, it would continue but the rates would be lowered and perhaps posts could be limited too. They wouldn't be gone anytime soon.

Sweet thanks!

Anyone on those random numbers?

AFAIK they use the random number generator from your OS, thus it should be the same on- or offline.
CMIIW, but they also track the mouse movement at the start when you open the webpage and generates more random numbers to add entropy to the private keys.

Oops, sent you 0.023BTC instead of 0.02BTC. Doesn't really matter, so just pay back 0.023BTC again. No interest. Smiley
Just saw that too. I'll add interest on top of that. Smiley

Why do you have two loan requests, one here for 3 days, and one in whywefight's thread for 7? If they're the same loan request, I'll fund it.
They are the same. I placed 7 days there because its simpler. I'll cancel the other one once you fund my loan. thanks!

totally choose bitcoin wallet...easy, smooth..and the transaction fee also low
bank have so many requirement...
yeah there is no age limit, so it is very easy in bitcoin wallet

unlike in the bank, at least we should have the identification

Bitcoin is money. That's how fiat works. Who doesn't like a legalization thru identification when claiming and receiving money. That's why Bitcoin is still not accepted by all country. I think if all the country in the world will accept bitcoin, identification is one of their priority. If all transaction is anonymous do you think we are safe? Let's say bitcoin money theft. It's hard to trace.
if all the country in the world will accept bitcoin, need identifiaction but in fact bitcoin does not need identity verification,
maybe if there is verification of identity in bitcoin, many members of which will come out
Identity verification is hard to implement at protocol level as it is decentralised. If identity verification is needed and endorsed by the government, it would make it seem more legit but compromising the privacy of users at the same time. The anonymity of Bitcoin is what preventing government from adopting Bitcoin.
yeah cut both ways, so Identity verification cant implement to bitcoin ?
but any exchanger who must identity verification to sign up, it is included ?
They are different from bitcoins. Those exchanges are services which can verify the identity but trust is required on them. with bitcoins, it is a trustless system and I can't think of ways to implement it at protocol level either.
93  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and other cryptocoin. The best? on: October 29, 2015, 08:29:07 AM
Bitcoin is the first cryptocoin and is the only one that is going to succeed due to the attention from mainstream media. However, alt coins are still beneficial for Bitcoin. They can help to experiment the algorithm, block time or even scenario when block rewards are gone.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Simple Gambling Trick on: October 29, 2015, 08:23:00 AM
It isn't a trick. It is still a game with luck. Even though it may sound easy, in the long run, the casino will surely win. Even if you pass one, the earnings is very low.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: October 26, 2015, 03:51:01 AM
The less bets you make the less you will feel the house edge.
It is more of a varience, even with little house edge, people would still be experiencing huge loss streaks in the long term. However, it is still possible to experience such streaks on your first few bets.

It depends on how long did you play it. With little house edge I guess you will get some profit in a long run rather than small run because from what I see before the longer you play the close the number between under and lower so house edge is really play a role on long run. I dont know if others is still have the same way or not
The long run would have to be very long and with a huge bankroll. The varience would not allow the results to be near each other, for example, you can still experience streaks of 20 in the long run even with 0 house edge. Just try to flip a coin, you are bound to get a huge streak of heads/tails. House edge is basically just an assurance to the house that they will make profit.
96  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 21 Inc is relaying new blocks on: October 26, 2015, 03:48:56 AM
You do understand potential of this chip? One day I should be able to come to my store, buy a toaster with this chip for $1 and this toaster s gonna mine BTC to recuperate for the rest of its value to the seller.

Potential is ENORMOUS.
Unfortunately, it is never going to happen for a few decade. The chip would still be relatively expensive and the enormous heat generated by the toaster would just kill it, tell me a toaster which costs $1. If everyone buys it, the difficulty would increase proportionally.
97  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe we need more ways of advertising Bitcoin currency? on: October 26, 2015, 03:46:44 AM
Advertisement is very hard. Bitcoin is not a product, not everyone would be interested to try something out of their comfort zone. Most ads displayed are about everyday stuff. Bitcoin would be a currency that is not backed by anything and not everyone would take the risk and try it out.

Well tell the victims of bank bailouts if how much their money was backed by "something".
Bitcoin is backed by math, it's the price that can fluctuate, but you will never lose the BTC on your wallet. To the contrary, you can lose the money you have in your bank because it's not really yours.
Cryptography is something very new for an average joe. You're not going to convince someone to use BTC if you say it, most wouldn't bother to find out more about it. Most would still trust fiat more than Bitcoin because they have been using it for a long time.
98  Economy / Gambling / Re: Dice Investing on: October 26, 2015, 03:43:40 AM
You can try investing a bit on 64blocks.com, it's a fun dice game that is owned by a trusted member here in bitcointalk. I myself has a stake there.

Or if you are really conservative, go with established casinos like JustDice.

i thought justdice now is handling only clam?? and how well is 64blocks.com doing for you???
Last time I went, 64blocks had a very small volume. Its owned by a trusted member but there is too little volume and bet cap to make a good profit.

Also, keep up your post quality. With good post quality, you can expect to earn some extra income from signature campaign.

What's a signature campaign?
Signature campaign is basically a program which advertisers pays you for your constructive posts on this forum with their signature. This is an effective advertisment as it gains lots of exposure. There is an overview here.

I would prefer the low bankroll dice coz i want a fast movement of my investment, on top of that i would use trusted website ofcourse

The problem is there is no trusted website with still a low bankroll and most of the dice site have hundreds of bankroll right now. With a small bankroll, the website will not attract people to play as well
I would refute your last statement. Many dice sites has max bet over 100BTC and Primedice only have a max bet of 20BTC. However, they are still equally or more popular than other dice sites due to the reputation.
