Guys! It works
I just sent him the BTC and soon received an email and got 5 BTC in my wallet 

We ve all seen recent BTC and alts dumps caused by global instability, Chinese exchanges crash, oil price drop, BTC vs BTC XT issue, etc.

The question is, how do you manage your portfolio during these stormy periods? Do you differentiate between BTC and alts, if yes, what is your favorite ratio? Do you buy when there s blood in the water? Do you plan to switch to something else? How do you make these kind of decision? What do you base them on?

Thx

CI

I know it is a tricky question. What do you think, how many Bitcoins are lost forever and are 'out of the network' by lost private keys?

Hey all. Recent developments around the block size debate have sparked alot of discussion about several topics. I've seen many people arguing that BIP100 gives too much power to the miners. I'm not trying to provoke feelings one way or another, I'm just looking to see if people are willing to put their trust on miners about such decisions.

They permanently closed my Wallet account for selling bitcoin...
Luckily I had no funds remaining in the account

My first bitcoins came from Primedice signature campaign way back September 2014. From then on, I started to buy a little amount of btc every month and I have never failed to do so for the past 10 months.

How'd you get your first bitcoins (faucets aside) and what did you do to them?

I understand there is a lack of alternatives, and there is not a better place for up to date information.

But, in the light of Bitcoin and what it represents, neither of these platforms promote the same ideologies.  So, just curious to reach out and ask why the community continues to visit these sites?  What is your take?  Would you move to another platform? What would it take? What are your favorite alternatives?  And 170,000 odd subscribers, what # do you estimates is multiple user accounts (I personally have about 8 of those) and active Bitcoiners?

TL;DR
I’ve been in country far away from home with no money left. My bank couldn't helped me at all. Fortunately there was Bitcoin. To say thank to the Bitcoin community I’m giving away free stickers.

My Bitcoin-Story
How Bitcoins saved my ass.

Back in September 2013 I bought my first bitcoin. After weeks of studying the potential and power of Bitcoin I bought some more.
I liked the idea so much – I even printed some stickers…

Then, I got hired by an ad-agency for 6 months. So I didn't had much time to support or even use Bitcoins. I actually forgot my Bitcoins – until august 2014.

After 6 months of non-stop work I decided to take a break. I booked a flight to Indonesia. 5 weeks of paradise. But already on the day of arrival I noticed my credit card was not working there... My bank couldn't figure why– so I had $50 cash left. For 5 weeks.

After 2 days of trying to get money and no food – I decided to spent $20 for a train ticket to Bali. My card wasn’t working there either… On the train I met a guy named Wawan who gave me some most of his donuts and helped me to find a cheap place to stay. We drove through Kuta for about 2 hours. On the way I noticed a Store with a Bitcoin-sign.

In that moment I remembered my bitcoins…
Right after I found a cheap hostel – I went back to that place with the Bitcoin-sign. It looked like an office and called “Bitcoincenter” – “Cash your Bitcoin here”. I sold some of my Bitcoins for $800 – enough for the rest of my trip.

I know this isn't a very cool story of “How to travel on Bitcoin”, but I’ve been in country far away from home with no money left. My bank couldn't helped my at all. There was fortunately there was Bitcoin.
So this is why I’m giving away these stickers back from 2013. Why almost a year later? To be honest: I forgot about the stickers too. Found them last week.

PS: I hope you like the idea.

US-based bitcoin exchange platform Bitcoin Builder has announced their release of a bitcoin service that enables users to pay with bitcoin for Uber rides.

How it works :

Bitcoin Builder created a business account on the Uber network, which allows the firm to display itself as a payment method on the Uber mobile app.

Users are required to use the Bitcoin Builder multi-sig wallet to associate it with the firm’s Uber business account. After the activation, users will see Bitcoin Builder as a payment option on the “SELECT PAYMENT” section of the Uber mobile application.

The service works everywhere Uber works, even in countries like India, where credit card penetration is below 2%. According to a report published by The Hindu Business Line, the number of credit cards stood at 21 million by 2014-15. Currently, Uber does not accept debit cards in the country. Uber India takes Paytm, a centralized payment network in India for its local users. But now, Bitcoin Builder’s bitcoin-to-Uber service will give many in India that do not own credit cards or bank accounts an option to pay for the service in another way.

“India needs this service terribly,” said an Uber user in India on Reddit. “Uber does not accept debit cards and many of us don't have credit cards…people use cash a lot in India. Bitcoins bought in India are primarily bought in cash. If service like this could be extended to other services, it would be awesome.”

Honestly I never heard of "Bitcoin Builder" , but I guess I'am used to hear and read about those "unkown" companies on CoinTelegraph.com ...

I use a different email address for every service I subscribe (including BCT), so I know where they got my address. Today I got this one addressed to the address I use for my localbitcoins.com account (HTML formatting removed):

Hi folks,

i would like to find a measure for how the secure network is at a certain point of time. My dream would be that there is a blockchain.info like site that calculates once a day or so how much it would cost in $/btc to rent the needed hashing power from lets say amazon aws to perform the attack. Of course it should assume that the attacker is smart and chooses the least costly option to achieve 51%.

If there isn't something like i think it would be really cool for the bitcoin-community to have a comprehensive one number measure of security. It would help in discussions about blocksize and future discussions about network security, number of nodes, the whole Fee-market debate a LOT if one would have this chart.

Because besides talk about new cool services and the ever question of who satoshi is and the price of bitcoin the rest of the discussion are a very high percentage: network security, blocksize, number of nodes, mining profitability etc. And all those would be easiert to talk about if there was such a measure...

If there isn't such a site, i would still be interested in how the number is for todays network.

Already saw it and thought immediately "too bad they don't accept Bitcoin"

There's already an organization accepting Bitcoin for this cause.

Just complete the sentence with your thoughts... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..."
