Bitdonator has a point, ethereum restricted the amount any one investor could invest into it's IPO to stop a millionaire whale owning half the coins. There was so much money being invested into its IPO that the investment limit was very high, but there was one.

During the Klondike gold rush people could afford to eat their shoes as Charlie Chaplin did in his gold rush movie, but people are poorer these days. Besides that half the shoes in today's stores are either plastic or "leather coated plastic", which means they glued a millimeter thick layer of leather over the plastic. Plastic's not edible unless it's a MacDonalds.

Cryptsy as trying to push its own Bitcoin debit cards onto its customers before it closed. It said they were the lowest fee cards available. Who would help you if your Cryptsy card got skimmed immediately before it closed? Visa would probably pass the buck to Cryptsy, and Cryptsy support probably stopped responding to questions after the closure.

I would check who's responsible for paying back skimmed funds before signing up for a card, and also check how reliable the company providing the cards is.

If you are on a metered connection the savings in the cost of bandwidth might make using a bootstrap.dat downloaded elsewhere preferable. Downloading a bootstrap.dat on a free connection at work or elsewhere could be the only viable option for those with limited bandwidth at home.

Is this a proposal to change to 2MB with no other changes? Are the blacklists, segwit and anything else omitted from this proposal? This block size war has got out of hand, and even that small proposed change will probably start another month of arguments.

It probably means altcoins that have no miners, but that can still be traded on exchanges. The miners sometimes stop mining an altcoin if it they can't make a profit, then the network stops working and it becomes impossible to send coins anywhere. Any exchanges with markets for that altcoin carry on letting people trade even though nobody can deposit or withdraw. The coins have no working blockchains, but can still be traded.

Sadly it's back down today, but all the alts are getting dumped after yesterday's pump. Yesterday reminded me how fast they can go up, and franko could go up fast in the future pumps. It's better off than many coins that are still locked from cryptsy withdrawals. We are all free to withdraw fro cryptsy anytime.

What settings do you have to alter to make Core work as a Node? I know wallets and nodes operate differently, and that you need to open port 8333 to let your node get more than 8 connections to other nodes, but there must be more settings that need changing. Otherwise everyone' wallet would operate as a node.

Don't deposit any coins there. I deposited some frankocoins there months ago and I can't withdraw them. There are a few scam accusation threads where others are making similar complaints. It's a zombie exchange now that lets you deposit, but won't let you withdraw. Read these threads about coins-e.


Beware of Coins-E - they are stealing coins from the users


*WARNING* Coins-e.com is MTGox'ing users??


is this exchange scam www.coins-e.com

What's the difference between a normal bitcoin core wallet and a bitcoin node?

What's the difference in settings between the two besides opening port 8333 for the node?

Is there a way to stop your node transmitting too much data for if your node's connection has limited bandwidth? I guess if too many wallets start downloading the whole blockchain through your node any data limit would be breached quickly.

You need 100 confirmations before you can spend coinbase coins. Today most blocks are full, and have between 1000 and 3000 transactions in each block. If we take an average of 1500 transactions in each full block, then spending a coinbase coin as fast as possible would require waiting for 100 blocks with an average of 1500 transactions in each block. That makes 100 x 1500 = 150000 transactions in the chain going back to the coinbase of freshly mined coins spent as soon as they possibly can be.

The last trades I can see were four hours ago. If it's not a ticker bug then it's bad news for Houbi traders. Thankfully for them the price hasn't been overly volatile during the lat four hours. If there's a pump or a dump while it's down they might get wiped out.

Why does the 3 Month Futures Contracts on OKCoin expire on 25th Dec 2015? I thought they would have picked midnight on New Year's eve, or the stat of the next financial quarter. I know 25th Dec means nothing to the Chinese, it's a normal working day there, but it's a strange time to pick for Futures Contracts expiry because half the world will be busy holidaying then.

coinssource.com offers a dev identity verification service where they check a dev's ID and vouch for him. However a dev for equinox coin got verified by them, then pulled off a scam, and coinssource.com then said he had given them fake ID. The identity verification only gave a false sense of security.

That's not the finished version. The dev said he would get someone to change the font for logo #8 after some feedback.

I like number 8 the most too, but when I tried viewing it on a small screen the text changed from looking like "PARKBYTE" TO LOOKING LIKE "PARHBYTE" The letter K appears as a letter H on very small screens. I'm not a graphic designer but there must be a way to make it appear correctly on small screens.

Is there a great firewall of Russia like the great firewall of China?

Long term use can have bad effects on the brain.

A huge percentage of laptops have intel microchips. It's no less safe than them.

No bitcoin-based company today has the captical to drive the NASDAQ's price.
