    Bic Camera in Japan Stole my Bitcoin

    Posted: 30 May 2018 12:35 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I read a few posts and watched youtube videos in the last few months about more and more commerces now accepting Bitcoin.

    As I am travelling to Japan right now, and looking for ways to spend my Bitcoin, I visited one Bic Camera store and made a purchase worth 0.031 BTC

    The vendor provided me the address, I paid the Bitcoin with higher fees, the transaction was confirmed within 1-2 minutes. Yet he said the money wasn't received on their part. He told me I will get reimbursed and to come back the next day to buy the product.

    Then I received an email from BitFlyer telling me they will reimburse me the money as soon as they confirm it was received on their part. By that time, the transaction was already confirmed hundreds times on the blockchain, and the Address I sent it to already spent it. They asked me to create an account on BitFlyer so I can get my money back. I did create an account on their website. Then one week later they write to me, telling me they can confirm they received my money, but it will take time to get my reimbursement. Now it's been three weeks and haven't received a word from them.

    I am very pissed by this. They just took me 300 dollars worth of bitcoin and claimed the transaction never happenned. Bic Camera do not want to deal with the issue as they pretend I am not their customer. I do not care what process they use behind the counter nor what exchange they deal with. They advertise they accept Bitcoin and yet whoever is in charge of the address they gave to me stole my money.

    The problem isn't with Bitcoin per say. The problem is 'regulated' or 'official' companies that pretend to accept bitcoin but in the end fraud its customers. As my BTC is already lost and I still have no access to customer support, I have nowhere to let people know about the fraud, except here.

    So there it is. I don't know what to do, except rent here and let you guys know the experience is not always positive. They stole my money.

    Had to buy something with my BTC gains

    Posted: 29 May 2018 06:19 PM PDT

    Bitcoin is stable. It has survived a civil war, spam attacks, 1 exchange by volume shutting down (Gox), and will survive a nuclear apocalypse. The price in fiat/BTC fluctuates because it’s the volatility of the world entering the stability of Bitcoin in ebbs and flows.

    Can someone explain to me how can Bitcoin be decentralized if 95.94% of Bitcoins is held by 3.19% of the wallets? Not to mention the mining centralization.

    ⚡ New Lightning-enabled store to buy games for Steam/Origin/Uplay/Battle.net: Joltfun

    Posted: 29 May 2018 05:41 AM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    Today I'm happy to introduce you to a project I've been working on since the past few months: Joltfun.com

    This is a store that offers you to buy games with the Lightning Network for popular venues such as Steam/Origin/Uplay/Battle.net.

    Not only can you use bitcoin as a currency, but over Lightning it comes with the advantage of instant delivery: no need to wait for lengthy confirmations, you get game codes in seconds, ready to be activated.

    See it in action with this video: https://youtu.be/R1fvHS8D5ew

    Feel free to open a channel to our node at: 02977901c53b5299c7641acf11d49a46f0957e9e3f8191e6171d1222486d872317@54.37.22.216:9889

    If you don't feel #reckless enough to use Lightning yet or if it's not working for you (remember, the network's still pretty much in beta), don't worry on-chain payments are supported as well. We process transactions directly to our own Segwit-enabled wallet and without going through nasty intermediary payment processors charging high fees (if you know what I mean). In that case, orders are processed after just 1 confirmation.

    Please note that since our node is brand new, it's currently lacking some channels, so don't be surprised if routing fails at first. Hopefully as more channels are opened that's going to improve over time.

    Enjoy!

    It’s halvening-halvening!

    Posted: 29 May 2018 01:25 PM PDT

    We've just mined block #525000! Wohoo!

    That means right now we're exactly halfway between Bitcoin's second and third halvening (the point in time where the block-reward drops by 50%, which happens every 210000 blocks or ~4 years). Why does this matter? Well, it means only half as many coins are being put into circulation, and thus only half as many new coins can potentially be sold to interested buyers. Supply vs. demand, yada, yada... the price should increase!

    The last halvening took place on July 9 2016, which is 1 year 10 months 20 days ago (a total of 689 days). That means we are statistically about 41 days ahead of schedule to reach this halfway-point (which would be 730 days per design)! Thanks to the ever-rising hashing power, blocks have been found quicker than the targeted 10 minutes mark - and of course there's always variance!.

    Sooo... where does that leave us?

    • If we keep the current hashrate (or keep on deploying/removing it in a way that we achieve a block-time of exactly 10 minutes on average until block 630000 (the next halvening!)) - we would need another 730 days - which would let the next halvening happen on May 28 2020!

    • If we keep on deploying more hashrate at the same rate as since the last halvening - we would only need another 689 days - which would make the magic already happen on April 17 2020!

    When do you think this exciting day is going to take place? Any guesses? Let's revisit in approx. 2 years and figure out who won!

    Emin Sirer in a shitstorm of tweets: "PoW is wasted energy if there is no attack, proof: miners could turn off half their rigs waiting for an attack" "PoW is centralized protocol" "The protocol I advise are The Future (TM) - Avalanche". This guy is embarrassing.
