What currencies do you think have the best chance of succeeding (not including Bitcoin)? Do you own any of them? Are any of them a threat to Bitcoin?
Terracoin. I don't think it's a "threat" to bitcoin. I think they complement each other. And I think it's a great alternate currency for a newbie to get started in and play around with. Get a TRC address and post it here, and I'll send you 5 TRC. |

I don't use Coinbase much.
Is there a way to include a transaction fee when sending bitcoin from Coinbase?
Does Coinbase warn you if the transaction you are sending is low priority and should have a fee?
accidentally left an amount just under .01 on my account so i tried this for you " This transaction requires a 0.0005 fee to be accepted by the bitcoin network. Do you want to add it? (This fee does not go to Coinbase.)" seems they are forcing at least default fees not sure if they include it themselves (or give you the option to include yourself) on larger transactions. i know they did not in the past but it's been a bit over a week since i withdrew anything Thanks for the update. Unless the transaction is small, they typically pay fees for you. They have an official FAQ page on this. Here's what they say about it: http://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/815435-does-coinbase-pay-bitcoin-miner-fees-Yes, Coinbase pays miner fees (typically between 0.0005 and 0.01 BTC) on your behalf to ensure transactions propagate throughout the bitcoin network quickly. For amounts less than 0.01 BTC, Coinbase does not pay fees but gives you the option of including your own fee if you would like. |

I'd like to watch the next Olympics on streaming video to my Roku, and pay for it with Bitcoin.

If your not going to help dont post. Warning people that posts like yours are not a good risk IS helping. |

I see that Balthazar has posted ABE configured for NVC in git hub.
Though it needs a bit of tweaking, it would not be difficult to include it on CCE (CryptoCoinExplorer).
I am on the fence about adding it.
On one hand I try to be fair and include all Alt-coins that need an explorer on CCE. (Hence why there are no LTC or DEV explorers on site, they already have well established explorers available)
On the other hand, there has been some concerns raised about its origins and relation to BTC-E.
I would like to hear from the people who use CCE. Do you want NVC added to CCE?
Please do not make this into a debate about the coin itself, there are plenty of threads on that subject. I just want opinions on whether I should add NVC to CCE.
I would see no problem with adding NVC, if you think anyone would be interested. Or if you would just be interested in the project yourself! It's just a piece of information, which if anything helps to make a market more honest. |

Bump.
One more week till end of IPO. Still have quite a number of shares to be sold. Support the Alt-Chains buy buying a share or two of Vircurex.
I've been reading about this, but I am a little confused. If I'm reading correctly, 45,000 shares were initially issued with 13,500 offered for sale publicly. Then later the issue was amended such that there are to be a total of 31,000 shares with 9,300 to be sold publicly. But the cryptostocks platform still shows 45,000 total shares for VCX and a total of 15,000 publicly available (3180 currently held publicly and 11,820 still for sale from the original offer.) Is there going to be an adjustment to the listing to make the listing match the announcement? |

Any comments?
DannyHamilton told you how people implement this today. |

Interesting, I hadn't realized that Coinbase doesn't provide a method for including transaction fees, nor does it recommend them when necessary. That seems like an oversight on their part. Hopefully they will fix that in the near future.
Here's what they say about it: http://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/815435-does-coinbase-pay-bitcoin-miner-fees-Yes, Coinbase pays miner fees (typically between 0.0005 and 0.01 BTC) on your behalf to ensure transactions propagate throughout the bitcoin network quickly. For amounts less than 0.01 BTC, Coinbase does not pay fees but gives you the option of including your own fee if you would like. They did have a big issue two weeks ago where a bug on their part resulted in spending unconfirmed transactions. I think it went hundreds of levels deep. They eventually paid a miner to mine the initial broken transaction, and fixed the bug to prevent it recurring. |

I am looking all over for what I read from Brian Armstrong about his previous experience with payments fraud detection at a previous Y-combinator startup, and am not finding it. It was valuable for understanding exactly what Coinbase is doing and why they are flagging transactions as "risky."

Hmmm... something is very fishy around here.... I think I should start my own Coinbase  . Any willing investors? heh, as cool as that sounds, I wonder if anyone could do better. (Go ahead, I'm just daring someone to do better!) |

I agree that it would be nice to know how not to get flagged.
I also don't understand why they have an advertised limit if they're just going to do their own enforcement of a different, unknown limit I don't think it's necessarily an unknown limit. The founder of coinbase has previous experience in fraud detection. They are using some sort of algorithm/heuristic to flag transactions as "risky." Their rules are extra conservative on purpose, especially this early in the game, which means there are going to be a lot of false positives. That may translate to a lot of offended users and a lot of bad will, or they may be right on with the amount of false positives that can go through at this point without shooting themselves in the foot for growth. I also suspect they won't be forthcoming with details about what flags a transaction, because they don't want to facilitate anyone being able to game their system and make it easier to defraud them. Unfortunately that leaves us in the dark as to what we can do to not be flagged as risky, and unfortunately it also leaves a scary space in there where they could be canceling transactions solely to avoid taking big losses when the spot price of bitcoin swings wild. Long term a more stable price in bitcoin should help them with their business model. In the meantime I am going to keep using them, but I am also continuously investigating other means of acquiring and accumulating 'coin, and I think we should all keep doing that. |

it will be better to have indefinite inflation of fixed or variable amount of bitcoins per block Then just use a blockchain that does that, instead of using Bitcoin. You should have finished reading my post, it's not that long. therefore I am against subsidizing miners with more bitcoins then absolutely necessary.
So, again, use a blockchain that does what you want. |
