Don't people basically do this themselves by creating a bitcoin wallet and putting some into it regularly? What is different about this idea other than people give bitcoin to you, having to trust you that you don't simply take their investment and run?

Re: [Research] Bitcoin implementation in a MMORPG (That already exists!)

I used to play EL myself back in the day, (long enough ago I forgot my premium account information,) I could see Entropy being interested in bitcoin. However, you might also want to talk to Learner about using it in his implementation, I believe it's called Other Life. It could be even more useful in the business model he uses.

I'm just a small fry in the development world, to the point that I still only call myself an aspiring developer, but I know it would be useful in Learner's model because it's my intention to eventually create a game that uses a business model inspired by the one Learner implemented to which I intended to use bitcoin or another cryptocurrency in lieu of third parties for escro and payment processing.

Technically, Bitcoin would have to be fundamentally changed for any centralized authority to get any actual power over it or its use. The day that happens will be the end of Bitcoin, as anyone who understands Bitcoin for what it really is will drop it like a bad habit because at that point it will be broken and useless. Most likely though, another coin that won't be broken at that time will probably take its place.

I might be interested in this as I let my previous portfolio/project blog site go a while back and have recently been looking for an extremely cost effective solution given my current circumstances. If you would, I'd appreciate it if you PM'd me more details about your service.

As a suggestion, I've only started looking into it, but I'd also be interested in a space where I could test building a python powered dynamic site, using something like Flask. Granted, this is mostly because I find Python easier on the eyes than PHP and think it might be an interesting experience, so it's not of any real importance, but maybe it could be an option you could put out there that could allow you to stand out from others.

Re: Trade house for 1 bitcoin

In theory, you could do so now if you were in a bind with taxes and wanted to create a capital loss to detect from your taxes. I'm not sure how well that would work in practice though, since you don't see people selling houses for a fiat dollar anymore.
I would never trade in my whole house for just one Bitcoin because first of all I would never think that one Bitcoin is going to worth the same as a house.
That is just not a smart deal if you ask me.

Some years ago in the US there were people who sold their house for $1.00 USD as a tax dodge. I don't remember what happened that made that stop. However, with bitcoin, if that dodge was still possible, it could work two fold, first getting the tax break, and then the possibility of bitcoin's price going up to a level that it eventually becomes worth it.

Re: To rent your computer?

on 07/10/2016, 04:00:17 UTC
Recently I've heard about some services like www.kairosplanet.com where you can rent your computer and get paid for it. So, you have to put turned on your computer and someone else is using it for its own activities.
My question is does someone here has some experience with such services? And what if that someone is using your computer for illegal activities like hacking others or stealing someone's data and how can you know that?
Would you rent your computer or recommend someone to do this?

This sounds exceptionally risky because through normal remote access directly to that user's computer and not a virtual machine, could leave someone wide open to having their personal data, (or even bitcoins/other coins if they're using a desktop wallet on that computer,)  stolen. Not to mention the above worries about illegal activities being done and you getting the blame, contract or no.

Re: What would happen if BTC was Banned?
by
dc1a0
on 06/10/2016, 04:24:44 UTC
If ever it is banned, I think underground transactions and groups would flourish and still continue what was started 7 years ago. Underground marketplaces where people still asks for bitcoin for their goods including illegal merchandise and whatnot. it would still be there, the thing is there would be no third-party legal services that would cater exchanging bitcoin into fiat, same goes for registered merchants on and off the web.

The issue of there being no exchange would not be a problem in that type of situation. To cover your tracks you would simply buy quick selling untraceable merchandise to get fiat instead. There are always ways, that's why bitcoin being decentralized and uncontrollable make what governments think about it moot.

Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet?

on 05/10/2016, 15:28:33 UTC
I think people who have security worries about hardware wallets ain't looking hard enough. the whole point of them is that they're as secure as you can get. what i'm less confident of is longevity. if I want to park coins for many years I wouldn't trust flash memory to do it.
The longevity solution is rather simple and has been an addage many people have been taught as a kid. That is, "don't keep all your eggs in one basket. The neat thing about bitcoin though is that you can keep all your eggs in multiple baskets via backups. Yes, I would even back up a hardware wallet to a few different places if it had enough in it to be worried about.

As for bitcoin itself, absolutely nothing would happen, as bitcoin's decentralized nature makes a ban very difficult to enforce. There may be a few sheeple that would do as their elite masters told them and stop using it; either out of fear or brainwashing. However, most free thinking individuals who understand how bitcoin works would continue to use it, though, probably taking a few precautions.

Re: hack the bitcoin network for 1000 btc?

on 02/10/2016, 18:33:22 UTC
Well Wow, If a person can hack a bitcoin network why should he only takes 50 Bitcoins and pays the rest 950 bitcoins to him instead there are many addresses with many thousands bitcoins in it why don't hacker hack it and takes the bitcoins.


it is not possible to hack the bitcoin network. You can hack somebody's computer and take some bitcoin.

Exactly, What i am saying is no one can hack the bitcoin network if anyone can hack it then bitcoins must be dead by now! Also now-a-days people are clever enough to protect their computers from hackers. So its not as easy as its sees.

It's always been rather difficult to hack a computer directly, That's why most hackers attack the weakest part of a computer system. That part between the keyboard and the seat.That's the area that usually needs to be shored up the most.

Coincidently, that's the part almost all computer problems originate from too.
There is no computer that has weakest part.. if you have no anti virus it can attack your computer thats why there is many anti virus out there to protect our computer for trojans malware worms or any viruses.i notice that there is a company will paying to  just promote a software to other and they are paying from 1$ to 2 usd depends in the places per install its a type of virus as malware because computer infected about this tool can force you to buy antivirus always popup in your screen just like a commercial.. so if you have anti virus those malware oor viruses can prevent.

If no anti-malware was installed, or precautions taken, that would still mean that the part between the KEYBOARD and the SEAT was faulty. Take the time to think next time you're typing to see which part I'm referring to that touches both the keyboard, and the seat (whether that seat is a bed, chair, bench, floor etc.) Then, maybe you will understand what I was saying. The faulty parts are usually model ID ten T.

Re: UN taking control of the Internet

So what is the IP of this forum so I can bookmark it since today and safeguard it preciously until doom day comes as being talked here?

Personally I hope to not see that day to come to us. We have always TOR which can help us access websites which are blocked from UN. I don't think UN can do anything to .onion websites and I am sure bitcointalk.org will create a .onion website if such day ever arrives.

another option i was thinking. was the OP going to repost to promote namecoin as the alternative domain name database. its been around for years, but unsure if it has stayed uptodate

I was going to bring up namecoin after your first post as an alternative if the worst did happen, but you beat me to it apparently. That said, if it hasn't kept up-to-date, it can be brought up to date. I think what's needed most is mozilla or another browser to start recognizing namecoin addresses to help make it more popular.

Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities
by

on 01/10/2016, 03:14:40 UTC
Of-course yes. though it can be controlled and monitored. Sometimes it can go beyond being controlled with detriment to the society. It was reported to be in exchange in some latest crime in Germany but why would such a good resource be involve in dastard act.
well it can be if bitcoin wasnt used with something additional, if it was it might be untraceable
When you are using bitcoin into something illegal the government will really pursue and hunt you even if we are using bitcoin, the system can be traceable and there are a lot of factors that they will do to trace you, remember you are messing with the government.

Governments can go do unspeakable things with themselves. They're the one using currencies (their own national currency as well as bitcoin, and whatever other asset or commodity they wish to trade) for illegal activities the most. Lets not kid ourselves that governments are anything benevolent, especially in the state that at least some of them are in.

Re: Will you sacrifice privacy for Ease of Use and better features than Bitcoin?

How about the other way around? I'd be happy if BTC would get a bit more difficult to use to get more privacy.
Besides, BTC's very easy to use. I don't know how it could be made easier.

I wholeheartedly agree here, no way in hell would I sacrifice privacy to make it easier, but I would trade ease of use to enable more privacy in such a way that it makes legislation by states and financial institutions, (which bitcoin was intended to thwart anyway,) even harder to enforce.

Re: hack the bitcoin network for 1000 btc?

well you guys seem to make fun of me all the time when i repeatedly told you it was to refer the hackers which hacked my eobot account and i have refered them to the police.

but you guys seem to only see the ad and make fun of me again and again and never take anything seriously , i think it is best for me to quit bitcoin talk forum forever.

i can't seem wasting my btc on this shit and that is what the lawyers advice.

but i will surely report whoever posted in this thread for cyberbullying even after i gave the explanation.

the moderators are sadists who enjoy someone getting bullied day and night even though that someone told that the ad was given to refer the hackers to the police and already i told you all the bitcoins i have are legit.

it was created to catch the hackers who stole my btc from my eobot account , i did it cause since it had very less btc they would somehow get frustated and contact me if i had more so i refered almost all of them who contacted me to the cyber crime branch.

i have given you this explanation again and again.

even the eobot guys are into this and they replied with brutish and i don't care kind of answers , so they were reported as suspects as well.

keep on bullying and one day don't ask me why you ended up in the list of international cyber bullies.


cyber bullying is wrong if i ask anyone to lock this thread they say , it's just hasn't done any breaking of rules , and if i give them negative feedback , they are just abusing me themselves.

critisim is accpeted but cyberbullying is just cruel , you are all and will be punished.

so stop your shit.

i am calm now but maybe in a year i will file a case asking for a million dollars make sure you have that money.

so if i am affected i need to make sure i am compensated for it right.

its you or me now within 6 months i will , make sure the bullying stops.


even after i have given the explanation the people just read the first thread and i have to give explanation again and again for the newcomers.

newcomers go through the whole thread for my explanation why this job was posted.

read my trust feedback so many people have apologised.

so first read all the posts before you go on cyber bullying

if you posted here making fun of me even after i gave explanation , your name is probably already on a cybercrime international cyberbully list.

english is not my first language , but i have given enough explanation.

the point of this thread is to make someone for something they didn't do and keep on abusing them , and you will keep on doing it even after i die.

you are all rotten like that.

honour is more important to people , you keep a single thread even after repeated pleas of removal of thread and using the thread just to make fun of someone who posted the job for an entirely different matter, is completely sadist.

i have already taken police action , anyone who posts here posts on their own risk and they will be reffered the cyber crime branch international to the list of cyber bullies.

keep on posting and i will keep on reffering you to the cyber bullies list on the internet. bunch of heartless morons.

may god forgive you for cyberbullying an innocent girl for months altogether.








What? huh? Are you saying that you're the one who posted this job to do something illegal, unethical and supremely naive to upwork?
If so, I seriously and sincerely advise:
  • That you research and learn how bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies work.
  • That you think about a proposition you wish to make before you make it in order to make sure that it is feasible and makes sense
  • That if you post a job offer make sure it's done in such a way that the person/people you hire cannot just cut you out of the deal
  • That when people start pointing out naive flaws you make, you don't get all butthurt and making threats you can't see through in a way that will make any real differenced to you or anyone else.
  • Always think before you type

Otherwise, if this is some, weird miscommunication or something else that sparked this rant, I'm sorry if your feelers got hurt over whatever, but that just means you need tougher feelers.

Re: Dissecting the Parasitocracy

on 30/09/2016, 16:33:12 UTC
There's one big problem with the public waking up. That is, they don't want to because that would require them to start taking responsibility themselves.Most of the people I've talked to simply don't want to do it; whether it was an option within the broken system that would allow them to still ignore much of the responsibility or not. I don't think many are going to wake up until something happens and they're forced to, However, by then, it will be too late and it will take a lot more effort to get out of the hole they find themselves in.

I should know, I found myself in such a hole after telling the "wrong" groups of people where to go, and it seems I'm still a very long way from getting out of it.

If you're referring to taking responsibility for your life under a true market economy, all I can say is, you can't force people to do anything -- all you can do is vote for a system with the right incentives (which also, BTW, protect people who do live responsibly.)

If you're referring to taking the civic responsibility to protect the public against powerful insiders, having state-free money would precisely make it unnecessary to keep track of what the elites are up to, every minute.  I'm convinced that, if there is any involvement with money by the state, the elites will eventually make things complicated enough that the public can't figure out what they're up to, regardless of how educated the public are, and what system we start with.

My apologies for the late reply, I lost track of this thread and just discovered the link "Show new replies to your posts" at the top.

In a way, I was actually talking about both. If the people I have discussed these types of things with are any indication, the majority of people just don't want to take responsibility for their lives as it is easier to be taken by a sweet lie than to deal with the truth. As for voting, I'm not sure that works any more when the only choices you are given are curry with shit in it, or shit with curry in it.

As for dealing with powerful insiders, or in my case even people who know how to work a broke system, you would be surprised how much your quality of life can be damaged because they were the wrong person to tell what they could go do with their self. That's exactly what got me interested in state-free money.

Damn I really thought Satoshi Nakamoto is a real Japanese guy until I saw this thread which I thought is a joke at first. Anyway whoever created bitcoin is a real definition of a true human. After all service to humanity is the best work in life.

The founder of bitcoin will be revealed in some point of time, but for now it is better he/she stays anonymous because he may be a target for criminals.
Fact is that we should be very grateful for his efforts.

Well, for his/her/their sake, I hope it is only after they have lived a decent life and died of natural causes before they are revealed. I don't think anyone with a decent heart, and an ounce of sense would want those who cryptocurrency threatens to get a hold of them while their live(s) could still be made miserable in retribution.

This whole thread is quite comical, (in a "hey, look at the retard" kind of way.) Not only does that guy not understand how the blockchain works or how damn near impossible it would be to hack, but if someone did have the resources and smarts to pull off such a feat, there's no way they would be dumb enough to give him anything. This has to be some sort of stupid joke.

Even if  he found out a  guy whose capable of doing the impossible things  on hacking the bitcoin network then  its so dumb to think  that  he would  be given  950 btc and   the hacker itself  does have  only 50 btc which is  nonsense  at all because no would eventually do that if someone could able to hack.

That was my point,
Anyone smart enough to develop a way to defraud the entire decentralized bitcoin network:
  • wouldn't stop at 1000
  • wouldn't give the guy asking for the hack anything. Much less 950BTC for just asking for such a miracle to be done
That's what makes even the offer some kind of stupid joke.
