Re: The forum.bitcoin.com 4btc giveaway has started!

I would share, but since first prize is so big of a gap, its kind of like shooting myself in the foot to nominate someone else isn't it? I say we all strike a deal, whoever wins the 4 btc, gives 0.5 btc to the other 3 winners. so the 1st place winners gets 2.5 btc.....I'll honor that if everyone els...

Re: The forum.bitcoin.com 4btc giveaway has started!

Yeah I think this forum was a little busier a few months back before I joined. Since I've joined, I watch the main forum page, and sometimes it's hours and hours between posts. Breaking up the 4btc makes sense. That's a big chunk of change to win. Also, I'd like to point out that some of the threads...

Re: BTC-USD Lifts Off Despite BTCC Halting Withdrawals for One Month

I think that if and when withdrawals are allowed again, people won't care so much, they are finding alternative means of dealing with bitcoin. Localbitcoins in china has spike in business since the exchanges shut down. The chinese government is trying to get bitcoin under their control, but they're ...

Re: Play with me here.... A solution to Bitcoins problems

Right, but the problem is, anything segwit for BU does, is going to attempt to alter the original code Satoshi created, and that could fundamentally change bitcoin in ways that are not favorable. Do we really want to take that risk? This isn't about dominating bitcoin, it's about turning bitcoin int...

I think that maybe the idea that people have been working on to solve bitcoins problems, such as segwit, and bitcoin unlimited, may be a little too complex, and potentially dangerous ( causing the death of bitcoin) to implement. I think there may be another solution, where bitcoin remains decentrali...

Re: [2017-02-13] The DCG is not Bitcoin. You are Bitcoin

Do you think this issue could bring about the end of bitcoin? Maybe it's simply not built well enough for a global currency? What about the power consumption it's going to need as time goes on, won't that be an issue environmentally? Will another currency that's better come along and take over?

Can you please explain bitcoin? I'm internet savvy, but I am unsure as to the usage, what backs it, how it is utilised.

Bitcoin is the revolutionary idea that world needs to create a better world. The usage of bitcoin, is the fact that people can send money from anywhere in the world, to anywhere in the world, without a central authority to give permission for the transaction to occur. That means, you don’t have to ...

Re: Options for Securing your Bitcoin wallet

If you have the seed of your old wallet, you should be able to open up a new wallet with say, Electrum, or another provider, and enter in that seed, it should find your wallet so you can use it again.

Re: The Smoking Gun Of The Future

Also, I think you will find in the future, that the system tries to wipe out bitcoin somehow, because of how big of a threat it is becoming. Governments will try to ban it, regulate it, make it illegal, and all their efforts will fail, because the internet is too hard to censor.
