3561  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is getting serious ... Total CryptoCurrency Market Cap to $30 billion !! on: April 22, 2017, 11:12:49 AM
$30 billion is actually a good one but its still a long way to go compared to where bitcoin is to be in a place that matters because that's a market cap for the whole world which is even not anywhere close to the extern reserve of most countries or countries put together which means we are still far from the promise land.

$30 billions is a big number and I hope that it will soon double in the 2017. As you can see, more and more people are learning and discovering what cryptocurrencies are and how good can it be. And I believe that 2017 will definitely be the year of crypto.

It's not $30 billion it's $20 billion. The OP can't count.

However, anything that concerns crypto concerns bitcoin because bitcoin alone is taking the largest share of the total crypto market.
3562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reminder: Be Open and Helpful To New People To Bitcoin on: April 22, 2017, 09:39:17 AM
I still meet quite a few people who don't have any bitcoins and think they can only buy one.  It's a great reminder that there are still misconceptions that we can correct.  In his case, he and his family are from India so they have concerns about gold, but he's uneasy about buying a full bitcoin at $1200ish.  I pointed out, "You could buy $10 or $20 worth of a bitcoin just to test it out" and he was stunned that this was an option.  For those of us who've been around a while, it's easy to forget that some don't know this.  Be friendly and helpful, as people want to be a part of an open community.

This is really something I have put actually on myself to do even before reading this but the issue about people who are coming in new into bitcoin is about impatience to learn through the ranks. They are mostly about what they can earn immediately and how they can immediately turn the little they have to 2 btc even though they cannot afford 1btc at the moment. But either way, we will a I'll keep trying to make the penetration continues.
3563  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is BTC for you? on: April 22, 2017, 08:15:47 AM
BTC to me has been s source of not only income but also a source of enlightenment with opportunity to learn new things. This is something I have learnt in the few months I have been here. Aside that even on this forum, I have met people I could not imagine to meet even though not physically but its worth it. My journey into this world was actually borne out of the quest to make decent income but I have gotten more than what I have bargained for in a positive way.

Hi im playing on starcasinobitcoin.com and they gave me 150% deposity, this is the best platform to play poker with bitcoin, my user name there is dhlinvester add as friend.

They look legit i have 0,7BTC and i withdrew many times. im looking for high amount of players.

Hmmm you are the owner of the website, looks like a SCAM





AVOID!

This is actually a block buster for OP but I dont understand the basis of the thread if he does not have a sinister motive by hiding behind third party to promote the gambling site? If you are sure of the services to be provided, create a thread on the gambling sub-forum and provide answers to questions raised without any biased, if you are found worthy, then you will be patronised rather than hiding which has even been bursted.
3565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling sites should ask proofs ? on: April 21, 2017, 05:27:49 AM
I think it is better for gambling sites to ask for proofs, aside from its security; players which mostly are gamblers would feel safe also when putting money on those gambling sites. Thus, it wouldn't be tag as a scam site too.

I am only going to support that they ask for proof only if they do same before registering and not when an individual wants to make withdrawal. Also,  how are they sure that the proofs are even legit in the first place considering the fact that privacy is an ultimate thing doing activities online. Aside that, how are my sure that the site will even protect my info when they would have put it in their terms and conditions not to be responsible in case they are compromised?
3566  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Africa on: April 20, 2017, 08:55:42 PM
I see bitcoin thriving in Africa as recent facts have even supported such. According to Luno who claimed over1 million downloads in a yyear. That's definitely a good start. Although, there might not be serious regulation as its going to be in the advance countries due to level of technology development, but that's equally an advantage has free movement can be achieved without unnecessary regulations.
3567  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][QAU] QUANTUM PROJECT - Connecting markets on: April 20, 2017, 06:58:15 PM
The fact that this project is attached to someone reputable in the crypto-world is a plus. But with careful response the confusion would have been avoided in the first place as simple things as this can damage the reputation of a promising project and hopefully this can live to expectation. I will also appreciate if someone on the forum can also be enlisted to be part of the escrow or even the profile link of the current escrow be equally provided.


Nice to know.

I was scared there for a while if the Quantum team was covering up something... But now it's all good.

Anyways, Xaurum is in my opinion one of the best alternative cryptocurrencies around. Now they're teaming up with another great project, which will definitely benefit both the Quantum team and the xaurum team.

The Quantum Project got good support now as @BelTirid joined in as Escrow and a trusted person, I dont know whether he is here in the forum or not but Xaurum is a good cryptocurrencies if you compare with other cheap coins nowadays.
3568  Economy / Economics / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto wanted Bitcoin to make micropayments POSSIBLE on: April 20, 2017, 10:50:52 AM
Quote
The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible.
The usual solution is for a trusted company with a central database to check for double-spending, but that just gets back to the trust model. In its central position, the company can override the users, and the fees needed to support the company make micropayments impractical.
Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009

From that quote, it seems no one can even see the beginning and Satoshi is not an exception as the bitcoin of today is now more than what he envisaged as at the time of making that statement. This is largely in my opinion, due to the fact that bitcoin is now beyond Satoshi, with lots of investment that have been put into it and people expecting high ROI which is the reality we have to face now.

Your points are very valid and its unfortunate that its not only happening in America but also in most countries of the world and that is a testimony to the fact that the economic handlers of the world have failed woefully to the extent that it becomes a universal phenomenon that the middle class is gradually being eliminated from the social economic system. The most painful is they will still continue to chun out policies that will not even improve the current scenerio.
3570  Economy / Services / Re: need developer for develop me a small api for polonix.com on: April 19, 2017, 01:48:14 PM
Hi.

I need someone to develop me a small api to connect and retrieve data from polonix.com and notify me on certain movements/changes on the market.
tell me your price on private messages.


thank you.
Instead of looking for someone to build you a bot for this, I am sure a quick look at the appropriate section of the forum, there are several bots that have been created and equally updated regularly for checking bugs which are not even that expensive and can equally serve your purpose rather than telling someone to create one and security matters as well. My opinion though
3571  Economy / Services / Re: [WANTED] Software / Regression Tester for Moneo.io (pay in BTC) on: April 19, 2017, 01:14:26 PM
Wow, I am actually impressed by what you have there because the moment I clicked on the link, it just convert the wages to my local currency without filling anything. I guess what you have there is a freelancing site, to the best of my knowledge but what I am seeing here Create a client account, and a freelancer profile and trade between them using Bitcoin does that mean I will have to create two accounts? and secondly, will I have to fund my account in other to trade between both accounts?
3572  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what hinders bitcoin to become a mainstream currency? on: April 19, 2017, 12:29:09 PM
The challenge that I see here that is most likely causing the delay which is unconnected to government is the change in the traditional way the financial system is being configured. Although, we have seen several developments happened to the financial system, but this development is gradual and even aligning to the traditional thing we all know but what bitcoin will be offering is a complete deviation from that system which I see most governments of the world, are currently not ready for as they are busy with politics and declaring war here and there.

3574  Economy / Securities / Re: [Crypto-Games.net] Investment Returns, Updated weekly, Week 14, +9.88% Total on: April 16, 2017, 09:57:53 AM
I have read with keen interest from page 1 in which I have equally developed interest and considering being part of it. However, I have a question to ask which is:

1. Does investment compound? In the sense that if I put 0.1 and the return is calculated to be say 0. 01, will my investment now 0.11 or it will still remain at .1btc
3575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you play online street fight game for bitcoins ? on: April 12, 2017, 03:51:41 PM
I feel its going to be a nice game if there is an assurance that Bot will be avoided and people wont exploit the system for their advantage. I think its ok for you to carry out a mini-survey like this before going to invest money in building a game that only few people will actually be interested in.
3576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which country backs "Bitcoin" as currency? on: April 10, 2017, 04:54:44 PM
For me, its only Japan I would agree that has given bitcoin a standing for others, to be treated as currency is not the same as currency after all gold is treated as same in other climes of the society but that does not make it a legal tender that can be accepted as a means of payment. hopefully other countries can follow the footstep of Japan and can save us from having this kind of discussion.
3577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When will you start accepting Bitcoin in your store and boost your sales? on: April 10, 2017, 02:40:59 PM
When will you start accepting Bitcoin in your store?

If you are entrepreneur, a business owner or you just have an online shope, chances are you can increase your sales by 15% while increasing your security,
if you start accepting Bitcoin and other digital currencies as a form of payment. There are many ways to do this, depending on your country of residence.

You can use either BitPay, CoinPayments, Coinify or BLOCKPAY among others.

Which one do you prefer, and why?


I dont have a store yet but I intend to have one someday but if its going to be offline which I am planning to, then the question as to when I will be ready to collect is beyond me but the moment government is able to come out with a position concerning bitcoin, then I will accept immediately the setup is completed accordingly.
3578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 3 ways you can save on transactions fees today on: April 08, 2017, 11:24:08 AM
1. Save up all the payments you need to make and send them in one transaction.
On electrum, go to tools > "pay to many" to do this, enter in each payment as <address>,<amount>

This is ome that really relates to me as this is something I have practiced as well and I have equally maintained that there is no way the fees wont go up so far we are always happy about the increase in price and the difficulty experienced in mining a bitcoin. I guess the only way around it is to manage the situation to our advantage in which OP has rightly enumerated.
3579  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: bitcoin legal vs illegal ??? on: April 08, 2017, 10:16:28 AM
The issue about the legality of bitcoin is still a dicey one in most countries of the world and the issue of the multiple addresses in my own opinion, does not affect legality in any way because even in the Fiat world that depends on the banking system. After all, I have seen individuals having several bank accounts in a bank or several banks but connected through verification process and this has not stopped the legality of Fiat.
3580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: They found Satoshi? on: April 08, 2017, 08:59:27 AM
Friends this isn't a joke...

Very strong circumstantial evidence that John Nash was Satoshi Nakamoto!

Read this!

He is dead, and to me it appears they firebombed his taxi.  Cry

If this news is anything to go by in terms of how truthful it is, then I expect quite an amount of its effect on bitcoin but the reverse is what I am seeing from my end as the price is now tending towards $1200. However, we need to educate ourselves that bitcoin has grown beyond the dream and work of a man that everything ties around him. Bitcoin has grown to the point where banks and even countries are adopting the technology with several research going on concerning the subject matter for to come to an end as a result of the death of the founder if that is even true.
