I've sent you a PM.

Could you please clarify? How will you pay us? Will we need to provide you with our bitcoin address? Or will you reply to us what we have to do from after we PM you?

Also, what's a DM?

Well, I myself have 21 bitcoin, but invested in loans and investments. I have a couple of friends who have 21 bitcoin's in their wallet, and wet combined are in the "hindered thousand club"

Well. This is a bitcoin forum, is it not? We all ate active on this forum because we believe that bitcoin will succeed. My obvious answer is bitcoin. It the original cryptocurrency and has a thriving and growing community. Beside the invention of quantum computers, bitcoin is destined for greatness.

How can you guys conclude that this is a scam? All i see are links :-/ isnt primedice's url primedice.com? I was almost thinking of depositing when I saw the alert at the top of the forum. Could you guys give me more info of what would happen if I actually deposited a few BTC?

I certainly believe that Trezor is better. I don't really know, but the idea of having a wallet separate from my computer gives me a whole new sense of security. Maybe it's because I get a computer virus once a year, but to me, Trezor is alot better. I trust Trezor more than I trust myself, to be honest.

Gold is not evil in itself. It's is that's evil. We used gold as a currency, and people are naturally greedy, no matter how touch they are. It's a way of life.

We shouldn't hate gold. We should encourage each other to not be greedy. Greed and hate have caused more bad things than those you listed in the OP.

The problem is that bitcoin is alot more volatile than the US dollar, and people look at the price chart and say, "Heyyy... +EV!"

That's how hodling all started. The US dollar is basically staying in the same place. Why would you want to hold that?

Well, it really matters about what you're using your bitcoin for. If it's for:

Short-Term Investment - Price matters
Long-Term Investment - Price doesn't matter, the trend matters.
Everyday Spending - Does not really matter


But if you are a fully invested bitcoin enthusiast, price really matters, as if bitcoin crashes, youre basically homeless. No money left. Zip, Nada.

A Legendary could be sold for 1-1.5 BTC,
A Hero could be sold for 0.4-0.5 BTC
A Senior Member could be sold for 0.1-0.2 BTC
A Full Member could be sold for 0.05 BTC
A Member could be sold for 0.02 BTC

Dont. Just don't try to sell anything below that.

It depends what the company is. If it is a bitcoin company, say coinbase, it would probably give the option, as everyone is smart enough to have a basic idea of what the company root work for is all about.

But somewhere like MacDonalds? I really don't feel that have an incentive now l nor need to switch to bitcoin
 MacDonalds is doing just fine paying out in fiat.

I think of bitcoin as a sort of currency. I buy things with it, and if the price goes up, I'm happy. Everything becomes cheaper for me. Bitcoin has a fraction-of-a-cent TX fee, as compared to western union's $5 TX fee, and its safe than PayPal, sure to its decentralization. And also less scams, as there is no bitcoin chargeback.

As the title asks, is it possible to guess a privkey/generate an existing wallet's privkey? I'm quite interested about how mining for a bitcoin address works. Is it kind of the same thing as mining a block, guessing combinations of numbers and letters (the privkey) to unlock the code (wallet address), or is it some other kind of algorithm?

I've used vanity miner before, and I've tried guessing an existing address, but according do vanitygen, it takes more than a billion years on average to solve. Assuming I was lucky enough to mine the exact same address, could I get the privkey?

Wow, you're one lucky guy. I just recieved a transaction, and I had to wait two whole hours to get the confirmations.


What you thought was correct. The miners were probably very lucky, and guessed the nonce combination on average every 3 minutes. That's surprisingly fast, considering the current difficulty. May I ask, could you give us the TX hash, so we can see what pools mined those blocks?

Good luck. It really doesn't matter if you don't hit a block within 2 years. Give yourself 10 years, and you will at least mine 1-2+ blocks. That's surely a ROI, considering you get 25 bitcoins a block (Ugh. With the upcoming halving, let's say 12.5 BTC a block...) Good luck, and now that I think about it, it actually might be great investing in a few S3s or maybe even funding my Bit-X account xD

Would you be able to take out my loan?

Loan Amount: 0.045 BTC
Reason for Taking out a Loan: For the purchase of a good that is on sale for only a day near me.
Repayment Date: 1-3 weeks

If I already have recieved the loan, I will chuck the loan back to the sender's address.

If you want, I can offer the collateral of my steam account's rep. I can give you a link to my steam account which is worth more than $500. If I get -repped on steamrep, no-one will trade me and I will lose all my trading capabilities.

Already funded, sorry.

Most people with loan services here ask for valid collateral, which one of the examples they list is "BitcoinTalk Accounts", so why aren't you guys accepting it? I can add that I have a valuable steam account that you guys can -rep me on steamrep on, if I scam you.
