OP, be careful. I am pretty sure this will ring some warning bells, making the authorities investigate your transaction. There is a case for them to try to prove that you are doing this for money laundering purposes. The safer path is to sell your Bitcoins for USD first then make the purchase.

To answer OP's question, no it is not "bad form". The real concern is having your transaction confirmed at the shortest possible time. It would be a pain to wait for your transaction to be confirmed sometimes.
I have another question. Have anyone here have had unconfirmed transactions by using the standard BTC.0001 fee amount? I have never had any problems before when I am sending $50 to $100 worth of Bitcoins. But I have started paying higher fees after reading that there were some users here who had encountered problems with their transactions.

I am sorry if what I did was disrespectful. It was not my intention. Please be informed that I am backing out of my application in respect to my present campaign and Yahoo, my campaign manager. Thanks.

If you were an Trading Insider in what you would recommend to invest for your clients?
This question does not make any sense. How can you ask someone that question when there will be no real insider that will expose themselves and tell you what they are up to? Also a real insider would tell you what to buy only if they are already starting to sell it. Think about it, there is a reason why they are the insiders while most of us here are clueless sheep. |

The management of the signature campaign is up to Lutpin.
However I see a lot of people applying and saying they will change their signature after being accepted.
In the OP he says you need to change your signature and then post to apply so I don't think you will be accepted unless you change it first.
With all due respect sir, it would be unfair for me to change my signature right now. The Spectre campaign is still paying me for putting their signature and putting your signature in its place will not be the right thing to do. Also if I do not get accepted in this campaign, then I will be also out of the Spectre campaign because I changed my signature. Please understand. But I am willing to start at the post count where I changed to the BetKing signature. |

It's often seen that getting tourist to come is difficult and those that do manage to come often struggle with currency fluctuations, recent ones being when euro broke down, and in India news which is getting global attention Rs. 500 and 1000 notes invalid. In all this this is a welcome news that Bitcoins is accepted in dubai also now, cheers to the entire community. Blockchain can ‘gamify’ tourism https://cointelegraph.com/news/dubai-and-norway-use-blockchain-to-redefine-tourismI have to chuckle that so many things have happened to encourage stuff like this to be honest, really goes to show that we live in really interesting times. The compounding effects of everything are hilarious to watch. Oh well, maybe one day I'll go to someplace like Dubai and use my Bitcoin there. That's far in the future and to be honest likely out of the cards, but I'll see. Exactly the same as what I am thinking. There are a lot of individuals out there trying to form "blockchain" companies and most of them do not know really what they are doing. The just want to use the "blockchain" because it is the "in" thing and they want to get money from VC's and thru ICO's. The funny thing is all of these "blockchain" companies have no real world use case and will all fail in the long run. Do not be tricked by these snake oil salesmen. |

Coindesk knew exactly what they were publishing and expected that this publication will cause a stir. Hence they added a Disclaimer:
"The views expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of, and should not be attributed to, CoinDesk."
Something like this make me think that this article is against official views represented by Coindesk. Which is even more stupid.
Why they publish articles which are against their beliefs?
Is it not CoinDesk's job to also be neutral? The site itself must be open to all the views even if it is against the site owners view. The stupid thing to do is to block one view and make way only for another. I think OP is reacting this way because the view of the author does not align with his own. So instead of attacking the integrity of the site, why not make counter arguments with the author of the article to express your own view? |

I was just wondering, where Bitcoin would have been, if Satoshi was still around? Would Satoshi have tolerated all this bickering and fighting
about Bitcoin XT or Unlimited? Would Satoshi have scaled quicker? What would the Block size have been? I think Satoshi would have moved
forward a lot quicker than the current developers. Satoshi's code was sloppy, but it was effective. Gavin and Hearn and all these people trying
to sabotage Bitcoin, would have had their asses whipped. What do you say?
Was it not Satoshi himself that placed the 1mb hard cap on the size of the blocks? You are here longer than me. So I ask you, why do you think he did it? For me, at first impression it would because Satoshi might be already be getting concerned about the size of the blockchain and to solve the scalability problem, Bitcoin must take a more conservative route than a reckless one. But what do you think? |

I've been telling people around the forum for many months already that the Chinese miners have over 90% of hashing power under their control, but most people were refusing to accept this truth. Given the nature of the political regime in Beijing, it is the Chinese authorities who are essentially controlling Bitcoin mining through the miners, not the miners themselves. I am aware that there is a sort of mining cartel going on in Bitcoin, but I was not aware that the Chinese authorities are directly controlling the Bitcoin miners. It would be nice if you explain a bit more why you think this and if this is really a fact or just your theory. Now that Donald Trump, the president-elect of the US, is going to impose hefty tariffs on the Chinese exports, could the Chinese government retaliate with, for example, through exerting their control over Chinese miners? What immediately comes to mind is the rejection of all or most Bitcoin transactions that stem from the US...
So how likely is this, and what are the remedies, if any?
That is not very likely. I think most of us here in the community are overestimating how the authorities view the importance of Bitcoin. I believe they do not really think much about it and they tend to keep the topic at arms length because it could be that they do not really care. |

The problem is what type of digital collateral would be the most acceptable for P2P lending online? We already are doing P2P lending in real life when we lend money face to face with our friends. In the Bitcoin world it could be done in a massive scale with strangers online, but again the problem of guarantee of payment. If you can answer what digital collateral is acceptable by all, then P2P lending will be easier to do.

and why is no one here talking about it?
Maybe because for now the slight pull back could still be considered a correction which is normal in most markets. This should be the time to look for points of entry. I personally have buy orders ready at $650 - $680 just in case we see the price go back to those levels. |

OP, since SPEC is an anonymous currency, at what markets do you plan to deploy the currency and how do you plan to do it? My first guess would be making it useful and market it to darknet market place merchants into accepting the coin as payment since it has anonymous features.

Besides using it as a currency it seems like its impossible to make money off of bitcoins unless you already have some serious cash , mining bitcoins is long done nd over with nd its seems like trading/exchange doesnt give you much of a profit , so im just wonding as someone just now arriving to this dead party whats there to do with bitcoin ?
Just accept the fact that the ship has sailed and that most of us did not see what was coming when we first heard about Bitcoin. The price was around $5 when I first read about it but I did not even pay enough attention because I thought it was just a play toy by hackers. The next time I checked the price was going to $100 then that is when I started paying attention. Since the ship left without us the next thing to do is to create Bitcoin services. For me the best to create are darknet based services because that is where Bitcoin really is "at home". |

If Bitcoin was made illegal by your government and the punishment was very bad, would you still use it, would you still openly support it?
What kind of a question is this? Bitcoin will flourish even if more and more regulations were set up to attempt to stop or limit its use. Who cares if you cannot use it "legally", the technology is very good for circumventing laws. A good example of this is the darknet market places. Bitcoin's growth depends on the darknet's growth. |

But I believe they provided software and tools for bitcoin nodes. I am not sure what that computer was but, if not for anything , atleast developers can test their ideas on that, and in the future many great apps and ideas can grow from it.
That is still a big maybe. Also for a company that is one of the highest funded by the VC's, it is a disappointment that all they could come yp with were software and tools for nodes and a Raspberry PI Bitcoin node. That is far from the innovative tech the declared they are developing. It will not be surprising if they run out of funding and decide to shut down the company. |

It could be good to trade only inside US, like in netherlands, uruguay, etc. It will be great to trade marijuana globally and use Bitcoin as the trade money. Bitcoin is cool to don't pay tax to government, if legal marijuana would be traded like in many NL places it will be very helpful to the market. Hope many countries legalize it too.
You already could by getting your weed from the darknet market places. That is what is cool about Bitcoin, you do not have to follow government regulations to get and do what you want. Most of the people here look like they are lost on what Bitcoin is really all about. But we are all here waiting for the Bitcoin price to go to the moon so that is fine. |

2 Factor Authentication goes a long way if you want to add security to your Blockchain.info wallet. I would also recommend blocking Tor logins and activate the second password. Other than that, there is nothing else you can do except to secure your PC well.
