With good sense I would decide to wait for a better chance to gamble with last balance or use it for more senseful things. But unfortunately the emotions sometimes impede reasonable decisions, so I probably would gamble at once with last balance
As I know my weakness, I expect to loose whole risked money, so I only risk very little amounts to gambling, just to have fun with nice games and to exercise knowledge of mathematics that shows me, why I never could win.

Many thanks for sharing. Hope, their will come more android wallets for lightening network, because eclair seems only to support new devices.

If one earns bitcoin f.e. via signature campaign, when should he pay tax? At the moment he cashed in Bitcoin or when he cashes out to fiat? In Japan its clear, he should pay taxes for the date, he earned the BTC, but other countries f.e. in Europe or USA ?
Many thanks for your awesome thread.

That is an important point. So governments only could forbid the use in their own country, is that right? So if using bitcoin couldn't generally prohibited then we just could exchange online to foreign currencie and then exchange to our currency.

Yes, that's it So our bitcoin is already secure in worst case  and we will not need a new technology for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Yes, that could be a problem, but maybe it is not unsolvable. The wallets could have small amounts like bonus cards. I mean it this way: The buyer or a shop wants 0.001 Bitcoin and he gets a wallet worth of 0.001 Bitcoin. So maybe a new coin is not needed to bypass internet problems.

Thank you very much. It is very interesting to learn from original and beginning on. Now I am beginning to understand the technical aspects of bitcoin and blockchain. Was also not aware, that also ripple existed already.

To help clarify the question of the thread opener (as I understood),  that we will not talk about different things:
On waves client, everyone can create his own coin with a few clicks. Those are listed on waves market, not anywhere else.
The owner of these tokens has to offer the coins to the exchangers himself, to get listet. If he doesn't do anything further they will not be listed anywhere, only on the waves own market. These tokens are worthless as long as they aren't part of a serious project.

Theoretically you would have an ROI after around 20 months. But there would be two questions about genesis lifetime contracts: Will genesis only calculate the difficulty, that will get higher and higher or is also increasing Bitcoin calculated? On hashflare for example gives with raising bitcoin less profits so that I fear, I never will reach ROI.

I think, you created waves tokens and want to distribute them, right? So the best way would be to  have a good project in background, that you want to get crowdfunded.
You could for example offer them on yobit. I think the conditions to implement an ICO are not so high as on Bittrex.
But to success, you also should initiate a campaign and show, why people should buy your coin.

Maybe mining easy coins like BCN, while you are anyway working on your laptop could be a thing, where not much hash is needed?
I tried with my old smartphone on minergate. Never got BCN shares confirmed Maybe it would work on laptop without crashing it but don't know.

Maybe only handover wallets from one user to another, that can be read out offline during non internet phasis?

You are right. It is more likely, that parallel internet is being developed than that it would fail completely.

Cryptocurrencies are great innovation. However, there are some, who worry about, what could happen, if the internet would not work for an extended period of time.
Therfore my thoughts: Would it be possible to develop a cryptocoin, which would work both offline and online and still remain decentralized? Perhaps it would in the offline time work with bonus cards with reserved codes or keys, which can be read or edited via special offline apps?

You are right. That should go the legal way. Its a NoGo how customers are threatend by this service.

Yes, if I had enough money, I would gambe more often because my head would be free in betting strategies without force to win.

Financial institutes are already working on own cryptocurrencies. They and governments will profit from bitcoin technology and replace traditional money.

At its start ZCash was a short time traded at a price of almost 3300 Bitcoin and then crashed down, but was still worth 2.5 Bitcoin for a while.
The hype after initiaton could be explained with more than one reason. Anonymous transfers on basis of zerocoin protocol was possible. Wilcox had partnerships with scientists, hired a team with developers and could convince famous investors and bring the coin with big success to the market. But, as I understand it right, with the anonymity came a security problem. Noone could be sure, that zcash isn't produced by hackers to infinite. Maybe that or another significant problem on ZCash caused the deep fall. So, I am not sure what will bring the future to ZCash. I would keep a little amount on my portfolio.

Maybe its from contracts that pay automaticly out?
You also could do a research at your wallet history .

Yes, I also was wondering about this message that another wallet could be opened. But for declaring: You only would try to get access but wouldn't be able to open. I think, the private key is safe enough, I think. You need your strong password, if you want it more comfortable or if you fear that your privat key can get stolen by malware on your PC.

Trading on cryptocurrencies is not regulated. So price manipulation is easier as in regulated markets. I think, that fact is independent from exchanger. Nevertheless, I am not in favor of regulating the markets and abandoning the freedom of action. If you don't want to loose your whole money, you should not risk all for trading and not trust only one exchanger. It is better to devide to several services.
