I do not know exactly what to think about this.

If that's the case, props on you for making that choice and not trying to profit more at the expense of your users.

And in this case, I would recommend the "low-end user" to use Freebitcoin instead of Coin-hive, since their minimum for withdraws is 0.0003 BTC or ~0.012 XMR, while Coin-hive requires you to mine at least 0.5 XMR or ~0.012 BTC - which may take forever if you are running the miner with a bad PC.

Any reasons why you don't want a Visa or Mastercard card? Most merchants will accept one of those, if not both. And the fact that you are asking for a card that supports Bitcoin only makes everything more difficulty, since most startups that offer those cards will usually use a bank that use either Mastercard or Visa as their card providers - just like almost all Bitcoin cards were using Wavecrest as their card issuers.

You need to keep in mind the status of the mempool. As you can see here[1], the last few days, we got spammed again with multiple spam transactions, which bloats the network and make fees become more expensive. This stopped for a moment and we cleared all the backlog of transactions, so we are somehow "okay" again.

That just means that they paid some good money for him to advertise the ICO. He also advetised Stox and Hubii in the past.
Please don't trust a ICO because famous people were paid to promote it. I don't even think they know what they are promoting.

Make your own reasearch and read some good articles about what people think about them.

I found this article which questions the legitimacy of the project: https://harrydenley.com/why-i-think-centra-tech-is-a-scam/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC, a transaction is considered a "Segwit transaction" and have all its benefits if the funds have been sent from a Segwit address, regardless of the type of address the receiver has.

non-segwit to segwit = legacy transaction
segwit to non-segwit = segwit transaction

You can do that with Electrum by using this format in the "Pay to" textbox field:

(one output per line)
- address, amount

Example:

1NinjabXd5znM5zgTcmxDVzH4w3nbaY16L, 0.05
3Q64cQsYyanZPrCjULEqS5Fci5hfRGveY2, 0.035

You can also create a csv file with the same format, then go to Tools -> Pay to Many -> Click in the "File" icon at the bottom right of the "Pay to" textfield and choose your csv file.

Charlie Lee actually claimed that both news were true. That's the first one from the recent events that he claims to be fake news, which is the reason why I prefer to trust his words this time.

And of course they will say that every bad news is actually just FUD. People will usually tend to avoid the truth when there are news about something as bad as China banning exchanges or even Bitcoin. Why would you want Bitcoin to get dumped in the market?

You can read a little bit about the new Trezor 2 in this[1] blog post by the Trezor team and in this article[2].

TL;DR of some features:

1. First of all, the Trezor 2 will come with a full-color touchscreen display, which is quite an interesting decision.
2. Furthermore, the Trezor 2 will include a MicroSD card slot, which can be used for separate data storage or as a way to keep a copy of private keys in an offline manner.
3. Last but not least, the device’s processor will undergo some major changes as well. The biggest changes will occur under the hood.
4. Developers will be able to create custom versions of firmware if they prefer to do so. This sounds quite similar to flashing a custom ROM on an Android phone, which is always at your own risk.

I recommend you to check this website[1] whenever you want to find out some reliable wallets for the major cryptocurrencies.
You can filter those wallets by the supported cryptocurrencie by selecting the coin you want at the right of the page. This[2] is the one for Litecoin.

The shield indicates the security of the wallet. Green if you control your private keys or red if it's a web wallet - thus, not recommended.

No. But usually, if the post was locked by a moderator, he may disclosure the reason before locking the thread.

If you are really going to invest some time in this - which I wouldn't recommend -, it's better if you just go mine directly from the provider, which is CoinHive (the same used by ThePirateBay and FreeBitcoin) instead of using FreeBitcoin, which will take a part of your profits for themselves.

Btw, they are mining Monero. If you want to read the details, check the CoinHive website[1].

It is indeed a DDOS attack. And it's probably comming from a competitor trying to lure users to use his service because of the downtime. I wouldn't trust my coins with someone with this kind of behavior.

This was posted by ChipMixer yesterday.

I just want to confirm that I got paid as promised for my review! Thank you.

Tx: https://blockchain.info/tx/29094cef98f0ced12ee68c58f892275ffb1c39885e3d70b78b3ce4f32ad482b2

Btw, I think you may get more applications if you move this thread to the "Services" board.

I just tested your mixer and those are my first impressions:

The website design is clean and easy to use. I really enjoyed the overview page of the mixing process, which features detailed information on how your transaction will be held, especially at the bottom where it shows all the incoming and outgoing transactions and the calculator tool.

I choose the transaction to be delayed by 1 hour. Result: I got my mixed coins after exactly 1 hour after the first network confirmation.

---

My suggestions:

1. Allow people to choose a random delay from X to Y hours.
2. Allow people to choose a delay for each output address.
3. Let people extend their order for more time. 24 hours may not be enought if the user sends a transaction with a super low fee by mistake.
4. Make it possible to delete every log from your order instantly after successfully receiving the coins - instead of waiting 24 hours.

Guys, this is just a joke. I don't see why is everybody screaming "SCAM" for no good reason.

Also, this kind of website isn't something new. OP has copied this idea from a website I had seen some time ago here. Everybody was spamming how stupid OP was for thinking that anyone would try this, but everybody forgot that it's just one dollar for something that I actually thought to be a creative joke. There is no reason to attack OP here aswell.

Segwit only increases the amount of transactions that may be included in a block. And it's only effective when there are more Segwit transactions.

As you can see at this page[1], only ~3.5% of all the transactions are sent from a Segwit address. This is happening because we are missing more implementations of the Segwit protocol at most major wallets, like Electrum or Mycelium. Only time will tell if those numbers will rise.

Read what Segwit really does: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/01/26/segwit-benefits/

I don't think the crash was result from Dimon calling Bitcoin a fraud. Actually, I don't think this did anything to the Bitcoin price but maybe a few week hands that don't understand Bitcoin.

Mainly due to the fact that this can be found on the article you linked - as pointed out by a /u/gulfbitcoin on reddit:

"Blockswater, an algorithmic liquidity provider, has filed a market abuse report against Jamie Dimon for "spreading false and misleading information" about bitcoin." - Which means that this wasn't brought against him by any government entity. It's basically just a complaint, that may get investigated.

Actually, I think 95% of the crash was only caused because of the news about China banning exchanges.

I think I know what is the issue. Someone had the same problem early this week and that was my answer:

Are you sure you are selecting the "bch/livenet" chain instead of the "btc/livenet" one? Since the tool is showing your BTC balance instead of the BCH available, this may be the problem.

Or you can join Copay's beta test which already has support for Bitcoin Cash directly from the wallet.

"Ready to get started? Email us to get access to the iOS beta, or add yourself as a beta tester if you have an Android device."

Are you seriously recommending someone to NOT use Bitcoin because it's too "hard"? Especially a Legendary user who was registered 4 years ago?

Usually, a Blockchain.info user won't care about his private keys simple because not even the website itself provides this information to their users by default, which is one of the reasons why I don't store my Bitcoins there. OP could have created his wallet a few years ago and found out that he still has some coins lost in his old account, which he doesn't have access anymore. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't even bother replying.
