It's always profitable just depends on what you have and what you mine for any given coin value.

The future of crypto? Who's investing!?
The future of crypto? Who's investing!?
Hey buds! I thought it would be cool to start a thread with those who like to keep up to date with crypto. If we use our community on here to inform each other of possible good investments in the right places we could work as a team to share knowledge.
Curious to know who has been keeping up to date with what crypto these days, whats the most exciting tech at the minute?
I have a few diff coins from way back like ltc, eth, btc and golem.
What are ones to watch i'm out of the loop! I will record my findings if i dont get a response lol

bitcoin vs ethereum
bitcoin vs ethereum
What are the main differences between bitcoin and ethereum?
Smart contracts and way cooler community and ideology. Everything starts with an eth. Google Defi, in case you hadnt heard about its recent explosion. The peoples financial system is emerging quickly. BTC looks old in comparison and should play a role as the vaults of crypto, but nothing at all exciting going on. Eth on the other hand...
The ethernet blockchain is "Turing Complete" you can program anything on it. Get a metamask extension for your browser and you can cruise a "decentralized web" that runs on top of the ethernet blockchain. These sites are more resilient than the tor hidden service they really can't be taken down since there is no server.
Bitcoin is a platform for money - like an open network for accounting software vaguely.
Ethereum is a platform for more complex contracts between computers - like an open network for business law. The ETH coin is a subset of all this.
Ethereum is a platform for more complex contracts between computers - like an open network for business law. The ETH coin is a subset of all this.
Just to expand on "social accounting" its basically a bunch of computers agreeing that a coin moved from one to another, with all the records being opened and "confirmed", thats why you wait for confirmations after you send coins.
The motivation behind them is hugely different. bitcoins were created by libertarian types, looking to create a free world on the internet.
Ethereum was more about technical perfection for such an effort. It's not only a coin but a language for commerce between machines.

I've just been granted a refund through escrow and have been asked for my legacy BTC address. I've done some research, but can only find the regular addresses my wallet gives me to receive BTC. Has anyone encountered this issue? Many thanks in advance.

Why BTC when you have STABLECOINS
Why BTC when you have STABLECOINS
I have placed a fair few orders here but never posted before. I love it. However it's just a fact that BTC is expensive to move around and the USD value fluctuates wildly. So why not implement a similar system but with stablecoins? A stablecoin on Ethereum is very cheap to transact with and the USD value is... 1 USD.
These are the main ones:
-Tether (USDT): created by the Bitfinex exchange, there are like 4 billion of these in circulation, but it is backed by dollars held in some dodgy bank in the bahamas (or not!!!). May be one to avoid IMO.
-USD Coin (USDC): similar concept but backed by Coinbase. About 400mil in circulation but way more reputable and cleared with US regulators.
-DAI: backed by ETH held as collateral without a dollar in sight, algorithmically pegged to USD. A remarkably clever system that's the closest thing to a 'true' decentralised stablecoin. If you are a clever clogs you will enjoy reading about this one. About 80 mil in circulation.
It gets better... if you build a system that works with one ERC20 token, it works with all tokens! Merchants can get paid in whichever stablecoin they please.
Thoughts? I appreciate BTC has been around the longest and reliable software is hard to come by...

to my knowledge the stablecoins are more centralised and they can "freeze funds" whereas the worst thing with bitcoin is tainted coins and there are multiple ways around that.
a decentralised stablecoin where the risk of frozen funds isn't there would be perfect
a decentralised stablecoin where the risk of frozen funds isn't there would be perfect
True. It's interesting though, if this community minted the stable coins and used similar reputation algorithms as the escrow provider then we would have no increase in control loss.
Really good point, they are ultimately reliant on smart contracts, code that executes buy and sell purchases in dollars (or pounds, euro etc) to keep the exchange rate stable.
It gets pretty complex because the markets for these coins are small and manipulable so they build in protective trading strategies to the contract code. Even if the code is open source no one can say if these behaviors will work and keep the exchange rate stable.
This is my gripe with stable coins, they have downside risk with no upside potential.

Money as a system of control (video)
Andreas M. Antonopoulos is the most articulate and inspiring voice Bitcoin has. Despite his enormous technical expertise he sees the fundamental proposition of crytpo freedom as the lowest layer of the network.
There's currently a viral post going around showing a photo in a pizza hut window saying 'credit cards only' and then some crap saying how people will lose control of their assets if we move away from money lol.
It doesn't matter if it's cards, bank deposits or even cash in hand. It's all under the control of a central government that's why it's called "fiat". It can be seized, de-valued, or bankrupted. Given enough time that's exactly what has happened to *every* fiat currency in history.
When I read the title I thought this was about capitalism and making people dependent upon money. Instead this is about the fact that government issues currency and can use that to control everything it touches basically, it's a shocking eye opener.
Yes it's not even the amount of money they have it's that they define it, that's implies ultimate ownership of all of it.
He gives me hope that the revolution is unstoppable, that an exit from a corrupted society is not only possible but inevitable.
All of his lectures are great. I'd recommend the podcasts over the video, they look like a spycam.

Argh bitcoin!
Sorry biggas ignore me just need to rant about how annoying buying bitcoin is! lol
My new license still hasn't shown up so I still can't buy any more BTC from my usual source (bittylicous) - been trying all night to find another source without ID and they're all full of shit, every single one of them. Loads of places claim to sell without ID but none of them actually will and it's pissed me off how much time I wasted looking and I should have known the outcome!
Thankfully I have plenty of local spots to get my bud from but I really wanted to get some more orders in on here where I can pick my strain and support some great sellers that I've got used to getting lovely little deliveries from! :)
Ah well fuck it, back to waiting for the DVLA... however long that will take lmao
An enterprising bigga with money to spare should set up a btc exchange especially for us littlebiggy members! :P

what exactly is a bitcoin?
what exactly is a bitcoin?
It is the reward currency of a secure global cryptography network run by many and ruled by none. Bitcoins can only be made by the people/computers validating transactions on the network and the number left to be made gets reduced by 50% every 4 years i think.
a long string of data in a decentralised network. essentially nothing, like "real" money. it's only value is the value we place upon it.

Why are Decentralized Exchanges Still a Fail?
I don't mean alt coin exchange, I'm talking fiat to BTC.
There are already enough individual traders on centralised p2p like LBC, why don't at least some of them move over?
Or is it not enough buyers?
You could say it's a chicken and egg problem but so was LBC and they got off to a much faster start in a smaller market.

BTC Fees Crazy High?
Wow... The BTC transaction fees have been super high today. Anyone else experience the same thing?
Yeah, this was posted about 2 weeks ago.
Use "replace by fee" in your wallet and you can set the transaction fee to as low as you want, don't go too low though otherwise no one will bother confirming your transaction.
Hi green cigar. ..yes i had same problem last night.just wanted to make a small order this time..around £20..and Bittylicious wanted £10 in charges..WTF..cant bring myself to make order now..£30
For a basicallly a sample..seems like im not the only 1..its vendors who will miss out more now..so means no weed for the weekend.but i wont be going ahead with order either way
Its a case of cutting my nose off this time..than pay that f***ing ridiculous amount..jb

If there's more transactions going on, then the fees increase (I think). So, it BC is ona run, lots of people buy and sell and network fees increase.
I don't send from Coinbase... It's linked to all my personal data. I use a separate wallet. This is where you'll see a hike in fees (from a seperate anonymous wallet).
same, unfortunately
Cost me over $10 in fees last night to buy something which was $14, so almost doubled the total price I had to pay
What wallet do you use, man?
Coinbase wallet. Was pretty strange considering that moments before I had done a $30 order and the fee was like $1.70
was trying to get an order in last night but the minimum fee to send any transaction was £7+ and i couldn't bring myself to pay it!
but then i started thinking what if this becomes the new norm, went to pay it and the fees had gone up to £9, so i had to buy more coin to cover the fees whilst paying fees over and over again to coinbase for buying small amounts to try and cover this network fee, this actually kept happening over the space of about 2 hours, in the end lost about £24 to fees just to order something for £96 and the £10 network fee you see at the bottom there, honestly can't even begin to explain how pissed off i am!

Had a 19p transaction I made today at 10am. Still pending. Can’t knock Coinbase on this one this is sending eth from Jaxx but either way to be out of funds and 12 hours pending now is fucking bollocks
I had a lower priority transaction take a WEEK recently fml
Christ almighty...I wouldn't have minded I knew it was no relevance to the miners because of the low gas fee, but the fact I couldn't even increase the price manually is pretty shit so once paid up had no control..still a way to go until this is viable across the board. Possibly improvements with ETH 2.0 on the speeds but unless you can affect the reward to the miners you're caught really
I did set it at the lowest priority (issues with balance spending) to move it to another wallet....but a WEEK!
Shocking mate
Coinbase has all your information, right?
ID yeah but all goes through separate wallet anyway they weren’t the issue was the gas fees on eth, either way bit of a nause
Been there mate ultimately crypto will never replace fiat with these issues. Greet investment especially with recent trends on btc and eth but still too jumpy for these quick transactions. I try and keep a fiver or so buffer and always send over a couple of quid on top but still wide open and will happen again. You could easily stick a tener on top of already inflated product prices which is another factor why buyers are getting fed up
Hey Guys
Do your trading late at night , cheaper fess when it's not busy , or certain times in the day .. if you check on your wallet and have btc coin in there it will tell the fees to send , thats when you know its cheaper times ect ..

Am with coincorner shit man they charge to deposit then charge to buy btc then charge to send btc its so embarrassing sometimes when a think a have enough btc to buy then after forgetting about the fee a have to cancel lol
Hi hate Coin Corner its such a rip off. Does anyone know any cheaper options apart from checking for your local dealer instead.
I buy the bitcoin , xfer to anonymous wallet , and pay from there. Fees are normally in pence, but does depend on network traffic.
I had that yesterday. Nearly £3 to send £125 from blockchain
Crazy shit. Same as. I had to buy more BTC just to cover it!
Same here!! I had 3/4 quid in there already it wouldn't let me use it either ?? I had to top up , still got the 3/4 quid ??
This is happening to me and its driving me up the wall! How on earth are you supposed to enjoy the gains of BTC when youe wallet/blockchain wont let you spend all funds?? I usually have $10-15 stuck in my wallet and am only able to send it if i hit lowest lowest priority, then it takes a week to move to my other wallet. Not cool
Petite send your funds after midnight , cost 16p to send £150 last night :) :) always quite late in the night :)
I usually buy on here after midnight. I'm not having issues with fees though???? Haha
This happened me with Blockchain. I made sure I had enough in my wallet to pay, but when trying to do the transactions it wouldn’t let me saying I needed more money - despite having enough for the payment + sending fees.
Topped up my balance a few quid, paid the transaction and when I checked my wallet after I had around £5 in the wallet. Really frustrating losing unnecessary money to fees!

not only do they have your personal details, they send them out like a receipt to anyone transacting with your wallet. Found that out the hard way. Doxxed by my btc wallet lol

Looks like the whopping great fees that have been in play over the past week have taken a little dip. A good time to send coin! Heads up, people.
Today paid 19p for transaction fee.
The reward: "Pending" for 3 hours as no miner wants to go near it, now ETH has dropped since I made the transfer and can't do fuck all just watch the price I paid drop and drop while waiting for it to go through haha draining.

what determines the price off bitcoin?

what determines the price off bitcoin?
im not an econ guy but im really curious how professionals look at this.
I believe that BTC price is determined by an alcoholic garden fairy, named Phil. He takes his most recent Pacman score (he plays nearly everyday) divides it by the middle two digits of a random phone book entry, then multiplies it by the number of things he can see that begin with the letter 'F'. That, to the power of 3 and dived by Pi, is the current value of BitCoin.
Haha, you write really well. Reminds me of Douglas Adams.
Kudos.
I've posted this before on here but when the Silk Road was a thing (around 2014), I bought 46 bitcoin for $9 each. Spent them all on drugs.
Didn't save any.
Apparently you live and learn but that was a hell of a pill to swallow when they went to $10,000 a piece!
Oh well. Fuckabix.
Cheers BB

Feel your pain here but. I've bought copious amounts of bitcoin at £9, £12, £18 in bigger quantities and did exactly what I intended to use them for, buying weed ha. Which was incredible at the time. No regrets, we weren't to know. It was a lot of new scarily complicated information at the time and a lot to figure out. I'd try spend mine as quick as possible as overnight they were way less or sometimes way more, this use to baffle and scare me ha
You also have the halving coming up, which will further reduce supply, unlike quantative easing from fiat currency.
Institutional investors and insiders have the biggest impact though the former are more volatile. It basically trades like a growth stock so news effecting the adoption of the currency like news on regulation has a big impact. Note this rarely has to do with adoption by users it's more about whether big funds can buy btc.
Pretty much all coins vary in value like stocks do. There is finite supply of coins based on mining, which is using processor power to solve pieces of the block chain which gets more difficult as it progresses. However no matter the amount of coins that are availible if they are not wanted then the price goes down.
Often times certain events influance the demand for the currancy. The reason it went down this time was due to a Coinbase announcement that they where not going to be allowing BCH trades for a specific period after the hard fork that happened just recently. A big BTC holder sokd off a shiload of coin which started it to drop and of course others started following suit and sold off their coin as well. There are also things like market corrections, people pulling out to invest in stock or alt coins and a bunch of other random shit. Some of which is predictable and others very much not so.
Hope that kinda sumarizes things.

The cryto world is even more fickle then the actual stock market. CoinBase is one of the biggest market places / sellers of crypto so it put a lot of people on edge. Been downward a lot since then.
I noticed my wallet went down a couple days ago, the pound happened to drop at the same time, is this just purely coincidental?
OK what determines supply and demand?
Supply is limited by mining difficulty so it's always growing at a slower rate. Basically coins are getting harder and harder to mine.
So the bitcoin value should be increasing not decreasing?
Demand is another matter, who buys bitcoins? Besides biggaz? Speculators, "fin-tech" traders of every size and shape but they all look for one thing: a quick profit. Their dealings amongst themselves is all game theory and meme-pumping. So lots off ups and downs.
This is why the long term trend is up. The way this mob looks at things is "asset classes" and "exposure". Once the portfolio managers have permission from their elders crypto is declared an asset class. Then the managers are actually required to have exposure to it.

One Bitcoin Transaction Uses as Much Energy as Your House in a Week
One Bitcoin Transaction Uses as Much Energy as Your House in a Week
I love btc but this is so fucked up, we need a solution
That does take into account the mining of the BTC aswell but I see what you mean mate pretty fucked up
Wouldn’t be a problem if governments allowed free energy technology to flourish. Also if you compared the environmental cost of gold to that of bitcoin then bitcoin would come up looking like it’s made of pure daisies.
How in the hell did that happen? Seems impossible, especially when you, if you're lucky, only take a couple of minutes to buy and send them. I always question the source when it comes to climate change.
it's the mining of them that takes all that CPU power bud
It's the nature of bitcoin that causes this. The transaction confirmations we wait for for require very complex and duplicative processing across a worldwide network of computers. Just think about the security for an open network like this to work and you can start imagine the horsepower.
Granted, but as l said, l always question the source when it comes to climate change. The people who believe in it will say anything to advance their agenda. Now, if we're talking about CERN, that's understandable. They use enough energy to power a large city for a week each time they use it. Also have to take into account the price for electricity has risen quite a bit since last year. I paid over $400 on my electric bill last summer. That's after l used to pay $200 during the same period the year before. I think that should be taken into account as well. It could, on its face, look like more power is being used when it's actually just a rise in price for said electricity. I've been around long enough to know the length people will go to to push their beliefs down everyone's collective throat. This could be one of those times.
I've seen references to btc being energy wasteful but never had an idea it was this bad, thanks for presenting this analogy.

CRYPTO APOCALYPSE
We got wrecked lol. Long term still very bullish and are hodling for dear life.
ugh bought btc on localcryptos yesterday via paypal. Paypal put a freeze on my funds for 24 hours after I sent it. In 24 hours the btc I bought basically plummeted in value and now I have to buy a quarter instead of a half :(
Done it twice in a two weeks man...feel your pain...coinbase froze me yesterday too...
ugh coinbase is the worst. even a bitcoin atm is better than coinbase.
Lost about £40 this morning, bummer!
I knew I should have made an order last night.

Just new funds in when you make a purchase, that what you have sitting there will go back up after the covid-19 pandemic
Me too man. Lost about £160 in 2 weeks where I have been trying to decide what to buy!! Been going to bed thinking ‘I’ll sleep on it and do a buy tomorrow’, wake up and boom, fucking buy money half gone... been a proper shit couple of weeks... fucking stock market has got near on a oz of my weed money... ha fuckers...
I decided to sell a 50g block of 24k gold, made an awesome profit from when I bought in 2012, (bought a few in mind of another global meltdown or apocalypse haha) then reinvested a little back in bitcoin about £800 worth and that’s died now. It will come back around though, if only I held off for a week.
Keep that bitcoin for the future when it rises and buy bitcoin now for purchase. That way what you pay now won’t be over the odds and when the market bounces back after coronavirus dies you should be sweet, maybe better off
buy £40 worth of bitcoin now and sometime soon it will double......mayybe

technology or privacy - which made btc so valuable?
now im using it i really like the tech aspect of btc, i like being able to see my transactions on a public record but that's in no way worth the hassle of moving the fiat into btc.
i do that only because i can buy here and that is because we are freed from the banking system.
which one of these factors makes a bitcoin so incredibly valuable?

Hi everyone
Hi new on here. I ordered and it says when click on order partially paid what does that means? Thank!
Allrite welcome sometimes it means you may have slightly underpaid, or not paid for postage (if applicable) the provider you’re using for bitcoin they usually charge a fee for the transaction also on coinbase which I use it will say that till the payment has properly gone through, check to see if the funds have been sent via your bitcoin provider, double check the amount if all seems well, contact vendor ask them how much they have received.
Cheers

Is anyone else having problems logging into their blockchain wallet? The last couple of days it won’t even load the sign in page which is quite annoying especially as there’s a few tasty looking stains popping up that I want to order before they disappear. Any ideas?
they are falling apart to shit atm. seems like someone left the engine room.

Buying Bitcoin without verification
Buy Bitcoin without verification - a September 2018 guide, not everything you've seen before has remained anonymous. Two options - either use a prepaid card and verify your phone and e-mail, or remain completely anonymous and use P2P exchanges.
these days switchere.com allows 110usd without verfication, they accept cards.

It took me a while to see the column on the left, it changes the rates based on the deposit method ie card vs cash.
Thanks I dig it so far

Has anyone tried the Trust Wallet App?

Has anyone tried the Trust Wallet App?
Ive finally had it with Coinbase and see things have changed since I looked around. Does anyone know this app or another similar one?
Like the wallet but HUGE warning to anyone using their support. It's on an unmentionable messaging platform and its a fucking cesspool of scammers acting like they are support people asking for credentials.
Is Trust a no-trust wallet? And if so in what sense :)
Definitely +1 for Luno. Their app is very good and the sign up was simple.
I can recommend this one as I use it meself!

If you had to invest in an ICO which coin would you choose?
I need a really really good reason for an alt coins existence otherwise its btc or eth. There are enough forks and scams and me toos. I like filecoin because it solves a real problem, distributed storage.
There are a few good altcoins that I can get behind. They have a good purpose or at least intend to when they catch on or when the time comes. However the volatility is horrible. They are good for doing some swing trading when you can spot one that is going to take off but lack stability. But then at the time of this post so do BTC and the other big coins.
I do a little alt coin trading on Binance but more so short holds for some small but quick proffits then put it back into BTC or ETH depending which is on the rise. Just play around with trading when my stock friends give me a heads up that something is going to break out into a bull run or if I am checking out the market and see one that looks promissing and on the rise.
True that mate and I don't see a reason it's going to go up.
It never has mate. But the same up manipulation is set up each time it goes down so no worries
Don't know what you are complaining about Daily puff, Bitcoin coming in no Puff going out you are still up,

My fellow Americans: How the Fuck Are You Buying BTC?
Coinbase no longer takes cards. I can't say I'm going to miss them except I'm not sure where to go?
Bought up 1100 in BTC just two days ago with a card. Have to go theough different verification steps and gain a little trust first.
Very good one but here is quote from them :(
"you're not allowed to link a card unless you would apply for user verification process - which is not possible because of the regulations in USA"
"you're not allowed to link a card unless you would apply for user verification process - which is not possible because of the regulations in USA"
Coinmama has been accepeting cards for years, another good option is with better rates is xcoins.io.
Use a bank account instead of a card, your options go from shit to shinola. You can even use your coinbase account, basically every exchange loves it.
How to Buy Bitcoin without ID
One of the better guides I have seen.
Very outdated guide, Coinmama does not let you remain unverified, Shapeshift has implemented KYC too. Here's a more up-to-date howto
Thanks Emeralds, people should keep in mind that even these exchanges have limits on unverified transactions. If they don't post them openly (eg wall of coins) then ask them before you buy. In general you will want to make multiple smaller transactions as you test an exchange.
Agreedba, wall of coins is a good one.

Buy Bitcoins Privately in Less Than an Hour
They are not at all helpful, don't answer questions and wanted me to sign a paper stating I had received something before I received it. I'm not going to pay approx £100 and say I've received it before I HAVE RECEIVED IT.
I agree with others who say their costs are excessive.

I just checked... it sucks. If l paid $195 l would get $47 worth of Bitcoin. That's bullshit. I think you should try to find someone else to buy from. As much as l hate coinbase, they still have one of the lowest rates, 3.99%. It's a pain in the ass to sign up with them, but it still beats the crap out of Paxful. Happy hunting my friend.
Excellent selection of ways to pay here.
LocalBitcoins.com gives you a ton of payment choices for making purchases.

Coinbase ? Is there any other way to buy bitcoins ,not used my account for a few days went to buy bitcoins and my account restricted ,any one know if any more companies I can use please
I use Satoshi Point ATM (4 times) and pay cash in, they take a small fee but all you need is your code/recieve address. It normally clears in a couple of hours....
You can use a ton of different sites to buy btc. I personally recommend localbitcoins.com; changelly.com is a good one too. local will give you a variety of payment methods; all btc are locked in escrow and I haven't had an issue buying from anyone there yet.
That depends on how you pay for it. If you use PayPal or CC the rates will be a lot higher than using your bank account or cash.
When you get to the buy page on little biggy there is a list of suggestions for people who dont have coins.
there are lots of superior alternatives, what country are you in?
What are better alternatives for CH and /UAE?
localbitcoins.com is a very good alternative for both of these countries. let me know if you need any help.
If you are in one of those countries you are going to pay a premium just to get coins and given the privacy of lbc that's worth it right there. But more importantly the thing with bitcoins is the fees are a fraction of the change in price from volatility. In the time you worry about the exchange rate from any particular trader the market moves more than this.
