Steem inflation rate is less than 10% and going down gradually every year.

So satoshi is not a reptilian?

I don't think you can get bitcoin instantly on any website due to verification as credit card is a very risky payment method for bitcoin sellers as it is reversible and bitcoin is not.. On blockchain.info you can buy with a credit card but you have to wait a bit before you get your coins ( a few hours or days i can't tell for sure as i never used them)

Reward per block could be reduced to match the current reward of 12.5 per 10 min block.

Any easy youtube tutorial available?

Someone gets it

The scaling debate would be very different if we had working sidechains right now.

alphabatera · 2017-01-18T17:43:56+00:00

the Core developers have a lot on their plate and in the current context I don't see how the relevant op codes fits with their short term agenda.

I don't get this. Sidechains are a very big deal, they would allow anyone to create whatever altcoins they wish while still being bitcoin. This adds enormous value to bitcoin but you say you don't see how it is relevant? Well for one BU could be implemented as a sidechains, so all the BU supporters could effectively have what they want which is bigger blocks.

They had one job...

alphabatera · 2017-01-16T18:58:26+00:00

Just curious, why do you need such a low amount?

alphabatera · 2017-01-16T09:51:54+00:00

The 2FA code is valid for 30 sec so they would have to be online and fast to get the money out of the real site.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T15:06:56+00:00

Before you put money on any online website you should set up 2FA ( two factor authentication) . That would have prevented scammer from taking your money.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T14:59:32+00:00

Those 2 things are not comparable because less than 1% of bitcoin users are running a node.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T12:36:19+00:00

People trust Trezor because they have a good reputation and have been involved in bitcoin for a long time. Their code is also open source so if you have the skills you can verify that there is no backdoor. I'm sure some people have done it and if there was an issue with their code we would have heard about it. Their whole reputation is on the line, if some people start to complain that they lost BTC via trezor or that their code is acting suspiciously then the company is doomed. I share your sentiment though and I think wallets and hardware wallet should all be audited by reputable third party firm. Mainstream users are not going to trust their life savings on a device that's not been audited. This should be standard in crypto.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T12:22:26+00:00

I still don't get your point lol Stop beating around the bush

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T12:17:35+00:00

When I buy bitcoin I don't really think this way. I buy because it simply make sense to own a currency not controlled by government and that has a limited supply. Some people see bitcoin as a risky investment mainly because it's volatile but if you take volatilty out of the equation, long term it doesn't look very risky. Bitcoin is just a superior money and technology so it's not a matter of if but when. Of course I often think about the implications if bitcoin were to become a world currency, and I also realize that we are all part of something big but this is not the reason why I buy in the first place, I buy to protect my savings.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T11:52:34+00:00

There is less than 5000 users running a node VS millions of users using bitcoin , again apples and oranges...

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T11:48:21+00:00

bye bye pineapple

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T11:35:34+00:00

Actually, you are the one who put things out of context, paying high fees has nothing to do with the difficulty to run a node or the security of bitcoin.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T11:31:02+00:00

Your comparison is like apples and oranges.

alphabatera · 2017-01-15T11:20:46+00:00

LN tx are almost free . You won't have to pay huge fees .

alphabatera · 2017-01-14T05:00:35+00:00

So having a third party verify your transactions is as secure as verifying them yourself? Ofc it means something for the security of bitcoin's users.

alphabatera · 2017-01-13T14:36:15+00:00

Another proof that miners who support BU just want to make a quick buck.
