3801  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What Vitalik Buterin’s new ICO proposal gets wrong on: September 29, 2017, 11:19:11 PM
Why not just a simple auction? Set a fixed amount of tokens and let people bid on them. The bidder will know exactly what they are getting. If they are outbid, they can bid again and still know exactly what they are getting with the new bid.

This can all be done in a smart contract.
3802  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I sent bitcoin cash to my Bit coin wallet. Is the money lost? on: September 29, 2017, 10:58:34 PM
BTC/BCH use different chains but the same wallets/passwords. Use the private key for the address you sent BCH to to recover the wallet.

When you say " private key" do you mean the "Hash" on the chain block?

I am signed into the wallet that I sent it to however it has not show that it has been received, on the other end is a currently exchange website which seem to be stuck on "sending" for the last 2 hours. Maybe it will not send to the bitcoin wallet since its bitcoin cash?

In that event, is the bit coin cash still on the exchange website or is there a recovery option?

The Bitcoin Cash was probably sent successfully. You just need to import the private key for the destination address into a Bitcoin Cash wallet in order to recover it. Copy the destination address into this block explorer to see the transaction: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash

What kind of Bitcoin wallet did you send to, Electrum? Bitcoin Core? Coinbase? If you tell us that, then someone that is familiar with that kind of wallet can tell you how to get the private key of the address you sent to.

"Bounty" is another word for "prize" or "reward".

A bounty can be offered for doing a task or accomplishing a goal. The site you are referring to is trying to encourage miners to mine bigger blocks by pay a bounty to those that do. Some businesses will pay a "bug bounty" to people that find a flaw in their software.

Typically in the U.S., people refer to a person that finds and captures bail jumpers as a "bounty hunter", but as you can see, there are are other kinds of bounties.

I don't what you mean by "cash out", but I have sent money from a Bitcoin exchange to my E*Trade bank account via both bank wire and ACH without any problems.

I'm not an expert on this, but if you install an air conditioner to cool the room, it will double your electricity costs.
3807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sent Bitcoin but no fee was docked. transaction block states there was 1 though on: September 26, 2017, 02:00:34 AM
I sent this from the Gemini exchange wallet.

Gemini pays the fee for you.

If you sent the bitcoins from your own wallet, you would have to pay the fee yourself.

What is a Privet key? it like a password that is provided by your wallet so save it at your note or memo.
private key is the unique  long password to avoid  any body can try to login your account or somebody try to crack your account  if you have private key it means your wallet is safe..

No. You both have no idea what you are writing about. Please stop spamming nonsense just to increase your post count.

3810  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do Bumping & Dumping work? on: September 25, 2017, 07:15:46 AM
I've heard of organized groups of people that sums great capital together, they choose a coin, then invest on it (bump) ten just wait for the price to rise, like even get a x2, and then (dump) it.
Is it really a good and organized way to make profit from small coins? Is it really that simple?

It's called "pump-and-dump". Here is the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

In the "pump group" scam, which you are describing,

1. The scammer convinces a bunch of people to join his "pump group", promising big profits from organized buying and selling.
2. The scammer buys a large amount of a particular coin.
3. The scammer then tells the group to start buying that coin at a certain time. This is the "pump".
4. The members start buying and the price shoots up as they buy. The scammer sells his coins at the inflated prices. This is the "dump".
6. When members stop buying and start selling, the price crashes and they are left with worthless coins.
3811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Unexpected transaction on: September 25, 2017, 06:52:59 AM
During the Sochi Olympics, somebody sent satoshis to thousands of addresses. It happens periodically and I don't think anyone has figured out why.

But since different addresses in the transaction are getting different amounts, maybe it is a faucet paying off a bunch of accounts automatically.

So, I understand that ... we have a block halving in 3 years.

Here is a site that counts down to that event: http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/
3813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who validates BTC miners? on: September 24, 2017, 07:21:12 PM
Hello guys and girls.
I was wondering who validates BTC miners?

Nodes (including other miners) validate the blocks that a miner produces. An invalid block will not be propagated and no node will consider an invalid block as part of the block chain.
3814  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-24] North Korea Bypassing International Sanctions with Bitcoin Mining on: September 24, 2017, 06:31:42 PM
... According to the Virginia-based intelligence research firm, Recorded Future, Bitcoin mining could potentially become a major source of income for the North Korean government. ...

North Korea must be really hurting if mining Bitcoins could be a "major source of income". Right now the total yearly mining revenue is only 650,000 BTC. If you mine 20% of that and your profit margin is 20%, then your income would be 26,000 BTC, currently worth around about $94 million.
3815  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Atomic Swap on: September 23, 2017, 05:31:11 PM
Is it possible to use Atomic Swap in near future to dump exchanges like Poloniex?

The basic function of an exchange is to provide a marketplace. Even with atomic swaps, you will still need a way to get people together to make the trades. In the future, there still will be exchanges though they might be decentralized.

So i could sell bitcoins when price is high to another coin which price have been for long staying same and later when bitcoin price is low i could change another coin back to bitcoin. Or it would be better if i could use something like usdt not some random coin.

Using USDT requires the trust in the company that issues it.

Quote
Every tether is always backed 1-to-1, by traditional currency held in our reserves. So 1 USD₮ is always equivalent to 1 USD.

Oh, really?

Quote
There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your Tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of Tethers by us for money.

 I don't use USDT because I don't trust it.
3816  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The rise of multi-tier masternodes on: September 23, 2017, 05:24:47 PM
The basic idea behind a stake-based master node is to implement a hybrid PoW/PoS system.

It seems to me that adding tiers could add complication, barriers, and friction without having any real value.
3817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do ICOS's work? on: September 23, 2017, 05:03:32 PM
An ICO is an investment in the future of a business or technology.

Generally, a group of people will propose a project to build a technology or a business, and they sell the coins that the project will use. If the technology or business is successful, then the coins might have some value in the future.

ICOs are extremely risky. It is likely that most ICOs are just scams, and it is also likely that most of the rest will fail. And even then, the values of the coins for the few projects that succeed may never reach the value that you paid in the ICO.

The easiest, fastest, most convenient and most effective way to obtain bitcoins is to buy them.

You can spend weeks clicking on links or spamming the forum or whatever to earn maybe 0.001 BTC or you can pay $5. Your choice.
3819  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-09-21] 58 Insane Facts About Bitcoins [Infographic] on: September 22, 2017, 02:55:44 AM
There are some inaccuracies. For example, #24: There will be 34 halvings, not 64. See  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply.
3820  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: what do you think about pump and dump? on: September 21, 2017, 09:25:56 PM
The pump and dump is one of the beautiful thing in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because it will help us to earn money through trading and it is easy to take advantage since the markets of cryptocurrencies are always online 24/7 so it is a great way to make money.
I think pump and dump is an opportunity for success, if you can read and take advantage of the situation well then you will get extraordinary profits, if the price plummet is a moment to buy and if it rises it is a moment to sell.

That's a foolish thing to believe. Pump and dump is a scam, and if you aren't running the scam, then you are the victim. If you don't know what pump and dump is, then just look it up here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

If you believe that pump and dump is just the price going up and down, or that it is something that whales do, then you are going to lose all your money if you get involved.
