I don't know why does it even matter. I mean the troll box is always a troll box, and it's rarely (like 0.000000000001% rarity) that someone would post/say something useful. It is good to entertain day traders, but I guess you have something better to see/do than hypes, FUDs, or annoying shit.

Sigh. Really? They closed the troll box because they needed the moderators on it to help the support staff with the many problems/complaints happening on the website (due to higher number of users/traders).
It's the first notification you would see in your FACE when you open Poloniex for the first time after the troll box has been removed.

Yeah, I do remember. Just a month before last year's Christmas, people were hoping they would get some profit from buying at $500-$700 and selling at $1,000+. There was a lot of FUDs around here saying that bitcoin would crash hard if it even reached $1,000. Now, look where we stand. Good ol' days.

If the government is like in the U.S., where you have to report every earning and pay taxes (which is something they certainly do), they would be able to tax your bitcoins. Imagine if they are monitoring your online activity, they would know most of your wallets/addresses, they would know the amount of bitcoins you have, and they would require you to pay for them.

Well, look around you, you will find 90% of altcoins are scams, pump and dump, grabbing BTC for shit. A simple look at a shitty, low exchange such as YoBit will give you a hint why most ICOs are scams, or turn to be one in the future. If you took a glimpse at how many people trying to sell their shitcoins, you will find sell orders having hundreds, if not thousands, of Bitcoins worth of shitcoins.

It has been down for sometime, but now it's working fine as it seems. And for your information, there is no 24-hour reset – I have skipped many days not claiming, but still had the bonus as I left it.

1. No, it's not a bubble. This is a normal growth of bitcoin price that happens almost every time at this period since 2013.
2. Like said above, if it's for long-term, hell yeah. If it's for short term (or just having some BTC around), then no.
3. Don't you worry, though. The price correction will happen either at the end of this month, or at the mid of July.

OP, your point might be right, but you have to remember that there are many people who don't like money, unless it fulfills a need/purpose. Many scientists, for example, would die for a successful experiment achieving something new for the world rather than having a million U.S. Dollars.

And also if your point happened, there will be scientists who will be fascinated (if not mad) about their robots that they won't let them breakdown.

Yeah, Bittrex, it's considered the second largest exchange after Poloniex. They are increasing in volumes and number of traders, but they seem to manage their website efficiently. But they got higher fees, for your information.

Currently, Poloniex is facing a lot of issues (deposits/withdrawals issues, lag issues, accounts issues, and even opening the exchange's website) due to 'unexpected large numbers of traffic' — which is ironic. On the troll box, moderators are saying that there are mostly 40,000 active users/traders on the site, which is something they aren't ready for. So that might be your problem.
Care to share your transaction hashID, it might help.

You got very few exchanges to choose from. Exchanges that offer USD/USDT pair:
- Bitfinex, Link: https://www.bitfinex.com/
- Kraken, Link: https://www.kraken.com/

There is another route, however, you can buy BTC with USD (tons of options), then transact it with USDT on Poloniex or Bittrex. But fees would kill you.

Regardless of how much he has sent to you (he could send you a million USD with $1-$5 fee, if it's one input and one output), the transaction total size is what determines the fees amount. And yes, your fees are way low that your transaction won't get confirmed.

ViaBTC accelerator is a free service provided by the mining pool to rebroadcast your transactions (giving it a priority). When you succeed in putting your transactions in the accelerator, you got nothing to do but waiting for a confirmation.

There is another solution, but better not to get involved in it, as it will probably make things worse — it's CPFP (Child Pays For Parent).

That is called a double spend, it may work, if you paid high fees. Try http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to set the proper fees.
If you get greedy on fees, you will be stuck with a double spend, and zero confirmations for 2 weeks.

Funny that you say that, because I lived in most of the 'Islamic nations' — which don't exist, by the way — And surprise, there are no 'conversion', no 'deportation', nor 'Jizya'. Minorities have more rights than Majority does. Church here has shit loads of money and guns, complete privacy/seclusion, free speech inside it (no monitoring), and the government panics about any Christian kid gets stumbled onto a rock on the street (blaming goes to Muslims for letting that rock onto his way!).
All the previously mentioned is totally the opposite for Muslims. And bottom line, there are very few Muslims (if any), in fact.

Nope, he is right, this is THE most annoying thing that could happen while day trading, especially when you try to get a quick profit. That moment when you try to put a reasonable order to get picked by buyers/sellers, and find an annoying guy who keeps beating your bids.

Yes, he can, anyone can, especially on YoBit – being a bigger fish in a small pond. You just keep buying the coin in small batches, then hype about it in the troll box, so that you lure traders into buying it (pumping it for you*). I think it's a low, cheap way to trade, though.

I think he meant when you see a coin — you have been holding — pumping and try to sell, but it gets dumped hard.

I think reputable exchanges (like Poloniex) have a prompt notification to confirm the order, which helps greatly.

No, it will probably not go down, even if it dips down a little, it will never reach $1500. $2000 could be your best hope. If you watch the charts closely, you will know that bitcoin is rising steadily, and gets small corrections along the way.

I have seen miners slip with 7 GPUs on that motherboard on this board, but haven't seen it done with 8. I have just googled it, and it seems a lot are doing it like these:

Signed messages are a feature in bitcoin desktop wallets mostly (and a few online wallets like Coinbase). When you sign a message, you are proving that you are the true owner of that wallet/address. Three escrows for this project's crowdsale have signed messages to prove that they are responsible of the funds of NVO's crowdsale (look at the announcement post).

Being that those escrows are Lauda, Blazed, and MinerJones — the most trusted escrows on this forum — gives this project a privilege of secured funds.

Just focus on the development, solve the scaling issue/debate/whatever, which leads to the high transaction fees being solved, and your dream will come true. Bitcoin price represents no issue at all – it has 8 decimal digits; you can break it into as many Satoshis as you want, no problem.

I have successfully signed up with no problems. The game is not a browsing FLASH/HTML5 game as I expected, it's a simulation game about finding chests of gold. It surely seems legit, but it requires downloading at least a 500MB as the 'game' installer, which seems shady to me. And actually the Contact Us button shows up just after logging in...

Either you are damn lucky, or damn lucky. Do you know that there are no RX 4xx or RX 5xx available nowadays?! You would probably find an RX 470 for USD$170!
If I were you, I would grab them both, as they are the better in the business, especially Rx 470.

Regarding which one is better, I think RX 470 is, because it gives you the best hashrate (28-29.3 MH/s, if you can tweak it properly) with less power consumption. RX 480 is good, but consumes much more power — this matters if you pay the bills.

Trading Altcoins is a dangerous path, but worth it, if you are ready for the swings of pumps and dumps.

Firstly, before getting capital in order to trade, you should pick yourself a nice exchange (Poloniex or Bittrex will do – huge volumes and various coins to trade).

Secondly, you shouldn't care about bitcoin price when trading BTC/Altcoins pairs, because, as said above, you are raising your bitcoins, not your USDs (Bitcoin is your main currency here).

Thirdly, if you want to trade BTC/Altcoins, you should start low to know how things roll.
