"We want to be the universal payment app for dining out and the F&B sector.

The more people use bitcoin,the more it becomes stronger.Prices may go down but it value would always be higher compared to fiat money of many countries

it becomes stronger? I dont know about that man.

you can see how price movments are based on whales not us regular small time users. The value goes based on manipulation 90% of time seeing from bitcoin history.
When this era of "give away" is gone and most of the coins are mined,bitcoin will become more stable and hence strong

Fragments of an early Koran found in a Birmingham library may rewrite Islamic history after carbon dating revealed they could be older than Mohammed.

Scientists at the University of Oxford had already revealed that the parchment was among the oldest known Koranic texts in the world, but now several historians say it could be so old that it pre-dates the Muslim prophet, thus contradicting traditional accounts of his life and radically altering “the edifice of Islamic tradition.”

The dating reveals the text to have been written between AD568 and 645, while the dates of Mohammed’s life are traditionally given as AD570 to 632. This means that at the very latest it was written before the first formal texts were supposed to have been collated, and at the earliest it was written before or shortly after Mohammed was born.

Some academics now say that the impact of the text could be comparable to finding a copy of the Gospels dating back to before the time of Christ.

Historian Tom Holland told the Sunday Times that evidence was now mounting that traditional accounts of Islam’s origins are wrong.


“It destabilises, to put it mildly, the idea that we can know anything with certainty about how the Koran emerged — and that in turn has implications for the historicity of Muhammad and the Companions [his followers],” he said.

Other very old Korans also seem to confirm that written texts were circulating before Mohammed’s death.

Needless to say, Muslim academics have disputed the claims. Mustafa Shah of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) said: “If anything, the manuscript has consolidated traditional accounts of the Koran’s origins.”

Meanwhile, Shady Hekmat Nasser from the University of Cambridge said: “We already know from our sources that the Koran was a closed text very early on in Islam, and these discoveries only attest to the accuracy of these sources.”

Dr Keith Small, a Koranic manuscript consultant at Oxford’s Bodleian Library, admits the carbon dating applies to the parchment, not the ink, while the calligraphy is characteristic of a later style.

Nevertheless, he believes the dates are probably correct and could raise serious questions for Islam.

“If the [carbon] dates apply to the parchment and the ink, and the dates across the entire range apply, then the Koran — or at least portions of it — pre-dates Muhammad, and moves back the years that an Arabic literary culture is in place well into the 500s.

“This gives more ground to what have been peripheral views of the Koran’s genesis, like that Muhammad and his early followers used a text that was already in existence and shaped it to fit their own political and theological agenda, rather than Muhammad receiving a revelation from heaven.

“This would radically alter the edifice of Islamic tradition and the history of the rise of Islam in late Near Eastern antiquity would have to be completely revised, somehow accounting for another book of scripture coming into existence 50 to 100 years before, and then also explaining how this was co-opted into what became the entity of Islam by around AD700.”

I suggest you read the more authentic version here http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33436021
What may be the world's oldest
fragments of the Koran have been
found by the University of
Birmingham.

Radiocarbon dating found the
manuscript to be at least 1,370 years
old, making it among the earliest in
existence.
The pages of the Muslim holy text had
remained unrecognised in the
university library for almost a century.
The British Library's expert on such
manuscripts, Dr Muhammad Isa Waley,
said this "exciting discovery" would
make Muslims "rejoice".
Prof Thomas says the dating of the
Birmingham folios would mean it was
quite possible that the person who
had written them would have been
alive at the time of the Prophet
Muhammad.
"The person who actually wrote it
could well have known the Prophet
Muhammad. He would have seen him
probably, he would maybe have heard
him preach. He may have known him
personally - and that really is quite a
thought to conjure with," he says.

... "According to Muslim tradition, the
Prophet Muhammad received the
revelations that form the Koran, the
scripture of Islam, between the years
610 and 632, the year of his death."[/blue]
Because radiocarbon dating creates a
range of possible ages, there is a
handful of other manuscripts in public
and private collections which overlap.
So this makes it impossible to say
that any is definitively the oldest.
But the latest possible date of the
Birmingham discovery - 645 - would
put it among the very oldest.

Prof Thomas says the dating of the
Birmingham folios would mean it was
quite possible that the person who
had written them would have been
alive at the time of the Prophet
Muhammad.
"The person who actually wrote it
could well have known the Prophet
Muhammad. He would have seen him
probably, he would maybe have heard
him preach. He may have known him
personally - and that really is quite a
thought to conjure with," he says.

4296  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: What is the minimum amount of money needed for faucet on: September 02, 2015, 07:02:26 PM
You will need to have a few btc to start a faucet. Probably at least 1.

Google AdSense usually works, but there are also many ad networks that pay with bitcoin.

Your can also sell ad space to people who want to advertise their own referrals.
Is one btc besides hosting and domain charges or it is included?

 
I'd recommend analysing demand for what you're trying to offer first. Do people really want another faucet?

I understand you want to make money out of this and that you don't really care what people want, but you might get 0 traffic. I feel like there's more than enough faucets and no desire for more. Feel free to prove me wrong.

As for your question, I don't think 1BTC is enough. I have seen very active faucets run with 10+ BTC.
Yes you are right that there are numerous faucets but I particularly want to focus on Indian market. I want it exclusively for indian users in regional language.
I am asking for initial budget required,as the faucet grows,more budget can be invested
4297  Other / Meta / Re: Posts vs. Activity on: September 02, 2015, 01:05:23 PM
I now understand where that information came in.  Thank you very much for explaining this to me, very helpful.  I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks again.
In short activty grows with time and not just with posts. am I right?
4298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I've been scammed 5.5BTC. What will you do when your Bitcoin get scammed? on: September 02, 2015, 12:52:24 PM
Ive been scammed more than twice and the feeling  that you worked the money hard or you saved for a year just suddenly disappeared due to the activity of some bad people which you never wanted, is a like a cancer that will break you apart. Especially to you. All i can do is to try to let that to not to happen again,  besides you will learn something on it,  5btc is big
I believe that one must not only learn to earn but one must also learn to spend.Spending rightly is also a skill just like earning and both.
It really pains when you get scammed but you always learn a lesson.Extra precaution s should be taken when investing or spending btc
4299  Economy / Micro Earnings / What is the minimum amount of money needed for faucet on: September 02, 2015, 12:46:11 PM
What is the minimum amount of money one needs to create a faucet and how profitable it is?
Will Google adsense approve faucets?
what could be the other possible sources to monetize faucet?

Hiya, Wink

Thanks for opening this thread!

Today, I am going to tell you how to earn BIG amount of BTC every week.
By using this method, I am earning around 0.5-1 BTC (BTC) per day!




You might be thinking that this is fake and not true, but really, it is TRUE!!


That proof is 30$ in about a month, which is not equivalent to 0.5-1btc a day. Its almost like 0.1 BTC in a month.
Sorry, by mistake I had written that! Tongue
But, still it is pretty decent amount and my earnings if growing bigger and bigger daily!
So, are ya interested in it? Cheesy
It is 100% legit! Smiley
