7701  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: pocketdice.io scammed 102btc, please help!!! on: September 29, 2016, 05:24:44 AM
Bear in mind that with BTC, there is no tracking, no refunds or getting the funds back and that if they pay out and find out after the fact that it is a bad TX, they are out.  Well, there is some tracking, but the funds are still gone.

That may seem silly, but combine it with other options, like maybe a ShapeShift TX and you can have BTC automatically sent from the “holding” account when it reaches 1 BTC and hit a ShapeShift TX where it is changed to Doge or whatever.  It is a silly example, because the fees would eat you alive, but just an example of what can be done without touching anything.
7703  Economy / Economics / Re: Best way to manage money? on: September 29, 2016, 03:34:35 AM
I think the best way for me might not be the best for someone else. We all live different lives and we have different strategies that can work for us. What I do is set a long term goal so that I could manage money properly. I try to delay the gratification that I'll get because it always feels better to get something that you really worked hard for for a long time.
A long term goal is kind of hard to someone else. Yes just like you said. We differ in how we manage it. Some are not that patient to wsit for a long time and itching to get faster money. They want to feel the income at a fast pace which is wrong.
I agree with that, long term investment is only for people who have a lot of funds to invest because if you have a limited funds it will be hard for you to keep your money and wait for a longer time to get your profit, for me my strategy is always I divide my investments into short term and long term.

You have a point, people  do have  lots of money still have always  the advantage to make  long term investments  or even  on both short or long since they could easily put  up money with ease  unlike to those people  who have only an exact money to invest thats why its really hard  to manage on  which  term you would prefer to earn profits .
Maybe on one exchange you use a single BTC as an investment base.  You manually add more funds when it is lower than that and withdraw when higher. 

But, the account that you withdraw too could have a nice smart contract set up.  They might be hard to use on an exchange, but that withdraw account can be set up where when the balance goes above a certain amount it automatically sends BTC to another.

Best site to sell btc for me is bitkonan because they have really low fees which is almost nothing in % so i use them always and i will use them forever in my life Cheesy

I am sure that you have not come to a forthright and upstanding forum to request advice on breaking the law, try Poloneix and the others, get legally verified and enjoy.

I want to support burstcoin network and host mining pool in my country. Where can i download pool software?


Right now the ninja codebase isn't really available to download, but we can build you a clone copy of it... However, we're working on some new pool software that should be available soon. There seem to be some issues with the wallet and the way it handles being used as a pool wallet, and the new pool software will alleviate that problem while we come up with a permanent solution.

The new pool software will also be a lot faster and more responsive.


We will let everyone know when this happens. Thanks!

Well, I guess that changes some things.  I have bring around a while, dealt with morantis on a thing or two and until I get the go ahead from him on this one, it can sit and wait.
7706  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your plan to get rich with Bitcoin? on: September 29, 2016, 03:26:34 AM
My plan is to get as much bitcoins as i can to have more of them and then do bitcoins/altcoins trading to earn even more bitcoins in future, and then i will be rich

Trading can help us in achieving our dreams in future so its better to put some money in altcoin trading on regular basis to increase the number of coins and also to earn regular profits.

Altcoins are very volatile, which makes it advantageous to make trade. It is easier to earn 200% with altcoins than bitcoins.
7707  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exciting Bitcoin Projects! on: September 29, 2016, 03:19:43 AM
I want to thank you for this list , they are helpful projects , and unfortunately , I don't know most of them , that make me wonder , how to handle all these projects ? and how many projects we don't know ? because every day there is something new .

Just use Google to search them, I just list here the more established ones and the ones that I think have a huge positive impact on bitcoin.

There are probably many more out there ,but not all of them become succesful.

Some of them has a lot of potential to have a nice impact on Bitcoin. If the OpenBazaar become popular and stabilizing, the Bitcoin will pump.
We do need Bitcoins markets.
7708  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who control bitcoin network? on: September 29, 2016, 03:18:15 AM
Since bitcoin is decentralized so who actually makes the transaction, and who control blockchain and it's ledger. So one manage blockchain could they take our money?
no "one" person controls bitcoin. miners confirm the transaction so if somehow someone got a hold of more than 51% of the mining power the could confirm a bad transaction and then indirectly control bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone or any institution. At the same time it is controlled by all users, being a decentralized platform.
That's one of the beauties of bitcoin  Smiley
7709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if...Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly burns 1 million bitcoins? on: September 29, 2016, 03:11:38 AM
if satoshi nakamato sell million bitcoins prize wil 100% rise because that is really big amount and after that prize will drop and drop and after some time it will be little bigger than this prize

I do not believe he has that amount of coins. But if has and burn them, I believe that the price would hardly dump. It is highly unlikely to happen.

Why are people saying that quantum computers are still a thing of the future?  Aren't they already here and only getting better?  http://www.sciencealert.com/google-s-quantum-computer-is-100-million-times-faster-than-your-laptop  And, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Systems

Is the future now?

I believe quantum computers are a problem for cryptocurrency the future, but I think it will still take a long time for this to happen. Maybe decades or even more.
7711  Economy / Economics / Re: Selling Bitcoins more than double of the price? :O on: September 22, 2016, 03:44:14 PM
The other day I was on Paxful and saw several users buying Bitcoins at an enormous price.  For those that don't know, on Paxful you trade Bitcoins back and forth for various account deposits. 


I plugged in $10 and they would have deposited $150-300 in a Square Pay account.  Paxful covers the initial transaction, they do not get the Bitcoins until you tell Paxful that you got the Square Pay deposit, but I am sure that the funds would have been disputed hours later.  If I had an instant Square Pay to bank option, I might have done it, lol. 

Other than that, I have seen Bitcoins go for crazy amounts on eBay.  I have looked in some time, but when the price for BTC was $250 I saw people paying $350-400 for a single Bitcoin on eBay.

You can look closely at history, but another thing that can work is to start going to the same site you used a private key by typing the address one letter at a time.  This is also unlikely, but you will see the URL's that you visited and you may see the private key as a string passed to the URL.
7713  Economy / Economics / Re: Does the Price of Bitcoin Matter? on: September 21, 2016, 03:33:45 PM
Despite the fact that many people never see it, there are exchanges that trade FIAT for Bitcoin and other alt coins.  In fact, most of the big exchanges do this.  The newer laws require that a user go through a verification process first and some exchanges can't do this with customers in the USA. 

There are hundreds and thousands that do this everyday.  So, for most people a $50 flux in the market price can be a big deal

7715  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CKPOOL - Open source pool/database/proxy/passthrough/library in c for Linux on: September 21, 2016, 03:27:32 PM
I love all the work that you have done with this and your other projects.  I just hope that people watch these new pools closely.  When it becomes this easy to deploy a mining pool, and the startup costs become no more than the domain, the server and maybe some promotion. Does this make for unqualified pool owners and managers?
Providing the software for free to run a good pool is indeed a two edged sword.

It lowers the barrier of entry to the point where anyone with the minimum necessary knowledge can start up a pool which is not a good thing because a pool needs to be run by someone who is a software and networking expert in their own right and can provide the kind of 24/7 experienced support and maintenance that a good server needs, not just 'some random guy renting out a vps.'

However it also provides the bitcoin world with a well tested, developed, scalable solution that is designed from the ground up to provide the best experience for miners and hardware that does not waste hashrate, electricity, and make hardware misbehave, along with a block creation system that is guaranteed to support the bitcoin blockchain in the best manner possible, not creating empty, partially validated blocks and skimping on transactions - which is the whole point of bitcoin. The mining was never meant to be a means unto itself, it was meant to be a system to validate transactions. Pools that choose software options that don't do this are harming or at least holding back bitcoin's growth and maturity - the four largest pools all do this - one has even published new pool software code that encourages it.

Providing free software is also a two edged sword, but that debate is better left elsewhere. My sum position is the software world at large has realised that it is better off with free software as it helps improve the global pool of knowledge more than it helps just lining the pockets of the people who created the software in the first place. I've always believed in this ideal and pushed my contractors to choose free software when possible, and even charge less to write free software than private code.

With luck, even those that have little knowledge will slide through without losing people's money.  Some people will scam, some people will simply fail and lose the funds.  I love the software, I would love to jump on it myself and actually considered using it to combine the efforts of multiple miners at my office and home.
7716  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Burst Power Network [Pre-Announcement] on: September 21, 2016, 03:22:46 PM
I have heard about burst coin 1 year ago, but i still not try to mining it. Because i just use laptop and doubt to trying mining it, am i can mining burst coin using laptop? Of course i have big capasity of harddrive?
 Thank you for answers.

Anyone can mine Burst, even with a laptop. Check out the main Burst forum for instructions: https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/165/videos-step-by-step-video-guides-how-to-mine-burstcoins. If you encounter problems, just ask in that forum and you will get help from fellow Bursters.

This is true, the part that uses the processor the most is the plotting, so that might take time.  But, you can literally move that "plot" around from drive to drive.  For the TB drives that we will be using, this doesn't make sense, as the time it takes to move it is just wasted.  However, even though you can move the plot from one place to another, copying it makes no sense unless the two copies are not mining at the same time.  I am not sure if someone could cheat using this system and mine the same plot from two different locations, but it is basically stupid.  But, if you have a friend that has a power PC, you can use his PC to plot say a 200 GB plot, and then move that plot to your laptop and you might save a very small amount of time.

But wouldn't different computers mine the same "plot" in a different way?  This is where it gets confusing.

Honestly, I am not sure.  I do not think so.  I am not positive what data is held in that "plot".  I do know that if you are mining and get disconnected, reconnect quickly and the same block is there, you get the exact same set of deadlines.  Honestly, though it takes about the same amount of time to plot a drive as to move move those big chunks.

They are not needed for the plots to be seen, but they give the user the ability to mine directly from the plots.  I wonder if each hard drive could mine to a private pool the site controls and that pool could then be pointed to an outside pool so that the outside pool sees those pooled miners from your site as one entity.

Providing that an account has neutral or positive trust, then the buyer can put it in whatever campaign they choose.  The only way that the camp will make a difference is if the account has negative trust and has somehow found its way to be grandfathered in the camp.
7718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Geth bug cuts in half Ethereum's hashrate on: September 21, 2016, 03:18:32 PM
With Bitcoin, there is the daemon/client and a GUI.  The wallet GUI is nothing more than a program pushing commands to the daemon. Someone wants to start programming or creating side chains or assets and they immediately hit a wall of nearly impossible learning depending on their initial knowledge base.

7720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-ANN] INCHAIN. Ethereum based insurance platform on: September 21, 2016, 03:13:49 PM
how is a system/coin like this affected by the chain above it?  You say that this is ETH based, so I am going to make up numbers to illustrate. Lets say that ETH is 0.01/BTC and your asset is worth 100 ETH each.  That would mean that an overall value could be placed indirectly at your asset being worth 1 BTC each, 0.01 times 100.  Now, as the price of ETH rises and falls, how does that affect your asset?
