yes fees doesn't change according to amount user sells but there are some exchanges that gives discount to users on trading fees based on their past trading volume.

This one is my favourite If you have a gun you can rob a bank but if you have a bank you can rob anyone

just like the title says, i can pay using freelancer.

So i noticed something odd..

The pool hash rate for bitcoin.cz has dramatically increased over the past few days, since the price dropped by almost 30% the pool mining hash rate has increased buy over 3 ph/s which i found about odd.

I then check this https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate and saw the the whole network hashing rate has infact sharply increased over the past few days, despite the price falling...

i though that was weird since as bitcoin price drops, so does mining profitability, and a drop in price by 30% is not a small one.

Any ideas?

How the bitcoin XT Software will work.

I my self do not have enough knowledge about the bitcoin protocol to have a decisive opinion, but though i should share this video

Someone is trying to centralize bitcoin

http://www.coindesk.com/8-banking-giants-bitcoin-blockchain/ just 1 month prior the the centralization war.

Bitcoin will go to the moon, but your still a slave!

If we bitcoin remains as is, soon transactions could take up to 1 hour to confirm, meaning bitcoin will become a useless micro payment tool..

But if we choose to increase the block size bitcoin will become more centralized?

So whats the solution?

My take on it is that bitcoin should remain as is, meaning the block sizes should remain the same, and transaction confirmation time is not an issue, since bitcoin was never intended to be a quickest way to send, decentralization was the main goal, lets not forget that.
So bitcoin transactions taking hours to be confirmed is nto an issue, bitcoin is the gold of the crypto world, other alt coins that are quicker to use an more practical for micro payment situations will emerge, but bitcoin should remain as the back bone of crypto currency.

Yes quick confirmation is essential for micro payments, like buying something at a store, you don't want to wait an hour to wait until the payment is confirmed. But bitcoin is not only used for micro payments, some people use bitcoin to send money over seas, as seen with cyprus and greece, sending millions or even billions of dollars any where around the world in a number of hours doesn't sound so bad does it?

So in my opinion bitcoin should be left untouched, soon new alt coins will fill in the void space beneath bitcoin and will complete the crypto world.

What do you guys think, seems like it could work, but will it stay up?

htpps://WWW.COINOY.COM

So the past few months have been great, we've been making a good number of sales in the past few weeks and have a 100% feedback score!

We are thinking in to turning coinoy.com into a market place - allowing users to sell their electronics online without Fees, all Sales will be made through escrow, and all vendors will have a feedback and reviews page.

Just wanted to see how many people would be interested.
Thanks

nop, i don't know what mesh network is.
and yes you can connect two computers and make your own internet.
But the blockchain would not be efficient? mining?

I was just watching a conspiracy video on youtube.
It was talking about how the government can shut down the internet, the actual video had nothing to do with bitcoins, but surprisingly the main reason of the shut down was because of an impending financial collapse caused by Israel attacking Iran, since they disagree withe the nuke deal, something looking very likely to happen..

here is the video

All im saying, is this made sense 2 years ago, and is looking more likely.

Bitcoin is a symptom of the internet right? so whoever controls the internet controls bitcoins..

Can the government shut down the internet? Yes they can!
So who controls bitcoin?

your a scam, i paid you 1 bitcoin
and you did not send me anything.

I just got my S5 miner in the mail, but i am unable to set it up.

I got a power supply but it does not seem to be working.
here are the psu specs -

Specification of HEC 600W TC-WK
Model   600TE-2WX
Type   ATX12V / EPS12V
Maximum Power   600W
Fans   120mm thermal fan
Main Connector   20+4Pin
+12V Rails   1
PCI-Express Connector   1 x 6+1 x 8
SATA Power Connector   4
SLI   Ready
Crossfire   Ready
Efficiency   Up to 80%
Input Voltage   AC 100-240V
Input Frequency Range   50-60Hz
Input Current   10A
Dimensions   150mm X 140mm X 86mm


this is what the Antminer manual says about power supply

"Each AntMiner S5 has four PCI-e connectors for +12V/15A DC STABLE input and all four are
required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board to prevent possible
damage and instability. S"


Ia the power supply the issue?

Thank you!
