This is great, I've been watching ascribe.io with great interest, but it really only is useful for digital art. This verisart will be for anything, like a certificate of authenticity, but better (you can fake a certificate)
I collect art and antiques a bit and with eBay the market is huge, but I constantly worry about fakes. It keeps me from making new acquisitions quite often. Verisart is a welcome innovation.
I have a lot of artist friends, I will share this article. Thanks.

Faucets go broke all the time. They run out of money and stop paying. Hopefully you haven't wasted too much time on it.
If you're really dying for your satoshis you could visit coinker and click the ads. The revenue you generate might get used to pay users... But I can't guarantee you that, so if I was you I wouldn't hold my breath
I've noticed jackpot faucet.com hasn't paid out in over 2 weeks, so they're dead to, apparently

oop my bad, i missed that... should be inserted into the OP. thanks for pointing that out. survey was pretty simple and fast to complete. Im curious to know what they are using the research data for... |

The way I feel about faucets is the same way I feel about small change on the sidewalk. I dont go around looking for it, but if I happen to see a nickle on the ground, I pick it up. If you've ever been hungry, you appreciate everything you might get. there are a few faucets that are on my tabs page of my browser, so when I'm surfing the web I may click on a few. Pays my tx fees for no trouble at all.
I've probably made ~0.005 btc over the course of a few years of doing this little habit. that's around $2, but say bitcoin went to 5000$... i would have earned around 30$. its like finding money in your couch!
I never really paid attention to faucets until later in 2012... did they exist before that? how much did they pay out when btc was only worth a few bucks? i bet the guys who went to them in 2009 are pretty glad they did (providing they didn't spend the btc on food... Ive heard homeless guys were big on faucets back in the day)

i checked out this faucet a few weeks ago, and WON 100000 satoshis! went to check again this week, and won AGAIN... I rarely touch faucets, but i have been curious about them, looking into the viability of running one... but this one apparently doen't pay out... over 2 weeks and no satoshis transferred to my address... still says my balance is over 200000... also there was supposed to be a lottery (you get free tickets when you make each claim) but that never happened either... does anyone else use this faucet thing? is it defunct? its only a few centsa worth of btc (the lotto is actually over 1 btc though) but im not too worried if they are bankrupt and no longer paying, it would be nice to know and tell the users here to not bother with it.

$8.65 and 0.29 Bitcoins
0.29 BTC equals ~$85... dont you think a news btc site could be a little more accurate? also, I saw in another thread that this was a pump and dump, that one of the big mining tycoons in china was publicly admitting to it, recruiting people to help pump it... its only LTC, so who cares... |

i did this survey on Thursday. It was pretty straightforward and i filled it out honestly to the best of my understanding. when do we get paid?

good article ( the second one) I figured it might be a rouge or a vigilante, didn't even guess it might be miners.
I wonder if we'll ever find out?
But you know, BTC still works, so LOL
Go ahead and throw your fairy dust around
Hasn't hurt the price any
My grand theory is;
Some whale got sick and tired of how boring and uneventful BTC has been all year. He decided he'd make things interesting... Great Success!

Did you ever see Human Centipede 2?
I print my BTC out on a paper wallet and do the same thing the guy in HC2 does with his little drawings.

couldn't these attacks have more to do with some bad actors working to exploit the activity of the stress tests? I dont understand the tech at a dev level so I cant say, but it seems plausible, maybe. It also means it wont last, after the stress test bru-ha-ha settles down the opportunity to game the system will end.
does what I say make any sense? Like I say, I'm not tech enough to know for sure, but these things happening concurrently sure seems a little iffy to me.
I came to this idea because I also wondered who might be behind the whole thing and couldn't find a good reason why anyone would spend so much BTC on such a silly game.
but if it is a bad group, its probably the guys who want the block limit increased, and they\re mostly devs who have shitloads of coin from mining way back when it was super simple to get 1000s of BTC easy.
other than that, who could be bothered to spend that kinda coin??

at this point I'm hodling forever. I would consider selling if BTC was 20000$ tomorrow, because it would obviously be a crazy bubble which would burst and I could buy back in in a month and still be rich. But that aint gonna happen. BTC might get to 20K but it will take time, and when it does it will because of mass market adoption, so my buying power would be stronger buying with BTC and there would be no reason to sell.
get me?

I've noticed these patterns and tried to take advantage of them. I figured Asia had a lot to do with it, as does USA, never really considered UK, but it makes sense. I'm sure all the seasoned pros over in "speculation" are well aware of this stuff. Good info for the beginner though.  |

if you have coding skills, or designing skills, they are always looking for people to work on projects here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 (there wasnt much there today, but it gets new projects all the time. they pay too. try search "jobs for BTC" too. good luck |

Posted From bitcointalk.org Android App theres still ~6 BTC in his payout wallet. Go for it mang! |

If you can patent the idea you have you can go right ahead and tell us all what it is. If you can't figure out how to patent it you need to develop a trust relationship with someone who has the "basic technical skills" maybe some kid at your local college... or bring in a third party, silent partner, who's only job is to witness you telling your idea to the kid. then if he robs you, you have legal recourse. you could even make kid sign an NDA (can probably find a boiler-plate version online)
if your idea isn't copy-writable or patentable, you are shit out of luck my friend. you must ask yourself, what is worth more; an idea that is essentially free, or being of a service to the community.

Likely has to be some sort of virus that got on your system. This is definitely one of the serious problems bitcoin faces indirectly. Would suggest getting a mac as that is likely more secure than windows. Did you have a non-password protected back on some other system ?
It's not a mac/windows thing. It's running a hot wallet on a computer that you use everyday. Its horrible security for a wallet. This is why there is cold storage and hardware wallets. I feel bad for OP. But him and others instead of sending to another OS send to cold storage. It isn't , but using the mac for bitcoin wallets is better than windows as it offers better security to these viruses , therefore a hot wallet installed on a mac is less likely to be hacked because of any virus. I think thats not a good attitude to take, since the landscape is always changing. true, macs used to be pretty safe from virus, but that was back when they made up only 5% of the market share for home computers. There are a lot more mac users now and the hackers have been developing new improved mac-fiendish malwares for a while now. I've heard macs are good for one thing though, Ive heard that it is easier to put harder to detect malware on them since there is a serious derth of anti-virus development going on over there in The land of Jobs. and to OP; sorry about your loss, happened to me last year because I got over confident and lazy. felt like getting kicked in the stomach. believe it or not I have managed to climb back up and almost have replaced what I lost (it was just under what you lost and that's a lot!) anyways, first thing i did was invest 60$ in a hardware wallet. I sleep securely now knowing my hoard is safe. be brave friend. dont take any theft personally. |

Thanks for pointing out this thread escrow.ms, I've been wanting and asking for a concise security 411/how to just like this thread, had not been able to find one as stright forward and simple, until this thread. I'm bookmarking for future reference, always seeing users who get robbed because of easy to prevent mistakes and more. It can be hard to list them all the things they need to know, and this thread takes care of that nicely. Kudos!

You might want to try on a local board, whatever language that is. I'm on mobile so I can't check. It looks like some South American language. Where are you from? There will be a board for your home country with people who speak that. That's where you will find native speakers to create content for you.
I hope you understand. I'm not sure if I do

Why are they doing that though? If intentional, what would be the motive? Just to disrupt or are they trying to force some argument around the block limit? Or are they just trying to exploit the stresses? I don't get it. I've been seeing same type posts as well, and all the conversation around it is confusing.
whats going on?
