  1. This post of mine is starting to ring more true and true. https://platinumwealth.co.za/forum/Thread-Backend-of-Cryptocoins?pid=3869#pid3869 Luno went over the top with fees now disguising them as "Dynamic Fees".
  2. Happy Happy!!!
  3. I just wish AXL gives me a reason to stay. I want it to hit R1 wasn't there supposed to be a trading update already?
  4. That is the FOMO speaking. Contain it! Diversify. Nothing wrong with crypto, but do not go 100% net into it.
  5. He has stock. Well I bought the RX580s today and a few RX570s
  6. JAXX works nice, I used Shapeshift to convert ETH to BTC and then I send those BTCs to Luno and then I cashed out and got the money later the day. I then send those monies to @androux123 in order to buy a bunch of these http://gtxgaming.co.za/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=225 the whole process took about 5 minutes, money was transferred to my bank account later the day from Luno.
  7. Mmmm, yet honorable Hlaudi Motsoeneng and Zuma will continue to get increases.
  8. Only up 3% so far today. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I want to have a good Friday, I want this stock to go FOMO so I can cash out.
  9. Also wondering about pricing, the other BTC boards was reasonable at start, around R1200, but then they stopped production. So hopefully they will keep them in the production line for longer and not cut it off like they did with the H81 which made these boards go on sale for prices much more than what they're really worth.
  10. Hello!!
  11. Please, please let AXL rise!
  12. That is a Laravel backend I'm willing to bet.
  13. Use Jaxx instead, I will update the op to add jaxx as an alternative it has come a long way. As for http://ethereum-wallet.net/ message, it happens when they update their services, but going forward I would advise people use JAXX instead of http://ethereum-wallet.net/
  14. Was just about to say where the hell is @BitcoinZAR You must be swimming in happiness right now? Probably sitting in the Bahamas.
  15. Definitely, I can see a lot more practical uses for the smart contracts. Don't get me wrong bitcoin will go much much higher including Ethereum. Imagine what will happen to the ether price when Microsoft announces you now need to pay your windows 10 subscription using ether. They are actively working on making it more accessible to the public and no doubt with JP Morgan Chase involved there will be a "legit" credit/debit card for ether available soon. It will start in the US and then flow down to the rest of the world. ^Speculation of course.
  16. Pathetic week so far including last week.
  17. If you want to make a transaction "today" you need to add a non-trivial fee. The "No fees" claim when bitcoin started became "low fees" a while back, and has now vanished completely with luno adding dynamic fees to cover costs. Once the block reward goes away entirely there's suddenly a lot more that fees need to cover, and they will need to be quite large. Which is why I got out of bitcoin. Interesting experiment, not ready to replace the world's financial systems.
  18. Man I hope Taste will hit R3 soon, I've hold this stock for far too long now. I also hope AXL will go to R1
  19. Bitcoin is defined by a protocol. There are 21 million bitcoins that can be mined total, ever. This is by design. Every transaction that happens is stored indefinitely by the blockchain. The blockchain is where the trust that who says they own a bitcoin owns it comes from, and the basis of this trust is somewhat two fold. (Side note: This also means if a wallet is ever definitively linked to someone, there is a permanent record of their transactions) The blockchain is generated using hashing functions (By definition, a good hashing function is irreversible by anything other than brute force), and part of the input to the hashing function is the last thing prior to it in the chain. This means to forge 1 record, you would have to succesfully forge the entire blockchain. you can't forge the entire blockchain as everyone has a copy of what already exists. A theoretical 51% attack on the blockchain is also partially mitigated by having historical blocks every so often, so the damage someone with it is partially minimized here. Because everyone has a record of it, anyone can look at the blockchain to see how many have been mined. Using that number alone however does not account for any bitcoins that may be permanently lost. (Data loss making them inaccessible, forgotten wallet paswords, etc.) When a block of bitcoins is mined, everyone else knows about it at some point soon after through the block chain when a luno/coinbase/walltername transaction happens. From all of this, you can find the number of bitcoins that have been mined so far by looking at the blockchain and totaling the amount that have been mined so far. There are several websites that can do this for you. Many of these are full blockchain explorers, others may just give you general data regarding the current state of the chain. Example - The total number of bitcoins that have already been mined; in other words, the current supply of bitcoins on the network. https://blockchain.info/charts/total-bitcoins?timespan=all You can also do this manually if you want. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction However it's not worth it.
  20. I have noticed some interest with respect to Ethereum in that many (including myself) see it as the alternative to Bitcoin and potentially even a better investment due to interest from the big boys (such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc). Anything goes here with Ethereum. This will be the official thread for anything related to Ethereum. What is Ethereum? Ethereum is a cutting edge blockchain-based distributed computing platform, featuring smart contract functionality. It provides a decentralized virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), that can execute peer-to-peer contracts using a crypto-fuel called Ether.
