I assume they are ranking the exchanges by user experience rather than popularity. According to http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/markets/info, Cryptsy has a higher trade volume than Bittrex with Mintpal and Poloniex following. |

Hi, I'm using Bitcoin Core for my wallet, the only problem so far I've encountered is it takes FOREVER to sync with the block chain, it's upto 24 weeks behind and before it was 3 years last time I remember. I can see that it doesn't take a lot to work that in the software it's saying there are only 8 connected peers and the connection quality depicted is the lowest (one bar). I'm guessing I'm not doing something right here... do I need to portforward to allow Bitcoin to work properly, configure my firewall or both? Is there something I'm missing here? It would be great to get wallet up and running... Thanks  For bitcoin core, you need to have the full blockchain data (about 25GB on my computer) and so it will take some time for the initial syncing (downloading all the blocks way back from 2009) to complete. Since the process is almost finished now (just 24 weeks left), the best option is to wait for the download to complete. You could have used https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent to download the blocks with a torrent. You could also use some thin wallet clients (meaning that you don't need to have the full blockchain data) like Electrum and Multibit. |

Post delay depends on activity. It is negligible in Full Member+ , but for Jr. Member and below, it is a real incentive.
And secondly, don't forget the signature campaigns which every Newbie, Jr. Member and Member is desperate to join. That is the prime reason for which users chase activity.
Exactly. I still remember how frustrated I was for making a post and how eager I was for getting rid of the 360s limit back in the days. But since I was a member (posting limit < 30s), it never bothers me again.  |

I think we need to worry about bigger fish like all the scammers/thieves and not the little crap like text advertising. I can see a big flash advertisement being annoying, but a simple text string is no big deal.
AFAIK, admins and mods work to stop spamming but not scamming, and they won't remove scamming threads or ban scammers. Also, It is your job to avoid scams and protect your own bitcoin. |

Hello, I was just wondering
What is Bitcointalk's policy on one user running multiple accounts? May a user create another account to make posts without being personally identifiable? (Possibly, through a VPN)
This is quite useful if you hold political views that can he held against you at any time, especially if you wish to write or have somehow accidentally revealed websites expounding on controversial views that hold articles that were supposed to have been written by incognito artists.
FYR: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104178.msg1140954#msg1140954I don't have a problem with alt accounts as long as they're not used for evading bans. If you're hesitant to say something controversial because you don't want it to be associated with your name, please create an alt account and say it.
So, the answer is that you can create and use as many accounts as you want, as long as none of your accounts is banned. |

If I can pick up a coin every second and there are countless of them around me, I would definitely spend as much time as possible there to pick up every coins and get 0.054 btc an hour.
That would require you to spend at least 3,600 outputs. You'll end up spending at least 0.00001 BTC in fees for every 6 outputs that you spend. That means that in order to spend the 0.054 BTC, you'll pay at least 0.006 BTC in fees, resulting in only 0.048 BTC in spendable income. That assumes that you pay a transaction fee of only 0.00001 BTC per kilobyte, that you can fit 6 outputs per kilobyte into your transaction, and that every one that you pick up is a single output. If you pay a more typical 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte and you fit a more typical 5.5 outputs per kilobyte into your transaction, you'll end up paying more like 0.06545 BTC in fees to spend the 0.054 BTC. This means that picking up the coins will actually cost you 0.01125 BTC per hour. It would make more financial sense to do something else for the hour to earn cash, and then exchange that cash for bitcoins. Very true. I haven't thought about it in depth. EDIT: On the second thought, since I have a dozen of bitcoin sitting in my wallet, I could have created fee-less transactions to consolidate the dusts. For a transaction with 6 inputs (5 dust + 1 big input) and 1 output, the size should be about 930 bytes. So, I just need 54 confirmations on a 10btc output to make the transaction priority over 57,600,000. In that sense, I should be able to slowly reduce the number of dusts day by day without any bitcoin fee but only some time cost lol.  |

I would like to have a choice of longer durations as well. Any trade ending in exactly the same price is a push.
I believe it is working like that already. |

I just want suggestions guys I know I can't beat PD. Like what Strategy do you use. PM me if you don't want your strategy to be public.
Rationally speaking, the best strategy is don't gamble, because of the existence of house edge. But of course, it is sometimes a bit hard to control your addiction. |

Just bought my 0.13, now I'll gamble half of it in a dice website 50/50  How did it go? From my own personal experience, I usually can't control myself and either gamble the rest of my bitcoin after losing the first bet or try my luck again and again after winning the first bet and lose eventually. |

Other than being careful with all the links, you should enable 2FA on every sites in which the feature is available (eg. Coinbase, Bitstamp, btc-e, blockchain.info, etc) as a second protection to your bitcoin.

btc-e is very good, but you can only trade a few altcoins there.
If you want to trade less popular altcoins, you can use Cryptsy and Poloniex.

That depends on how many coins there are, and how far they are apart.
If I can pick up a coin every second and there are countless of them around me, I would definitely spend as much time as possible there to pick up every coins and get 0.054 btc an hour.
If I need to walk a minute to find a coin, why would I waste an hour to get 0.0009 btc?

Bitcoin is deflationary by nature but not a deflationary spiral like a traditional monetary system:
We have roughly 160 new blocks everyday ( https://btc.blockr.io/charts), which brings us 8000 new bitcoin everyday. So isn't that exactly an increase in money supply? Shouldn't we call it inflationary? |
