Yes, please. How come you're not considering adding a "temporarily banned" status?
I'm also a big fan of both the "banned" and "temp banned" status. It would make it a lot easyer for allmost everyone (with the possible exeption of the person being banned in the first place). If you have an ongoing business deal and your partner stops replying => check his status, if it's "temp banned" you at least know why he/she doesn't respond. If you run a sig campaign, you can filter out the banned users in a heartbeat. ... I know with the new forum software around the corner, chances are slim of this being applied to the current SMF tough, it doesn't mean it wouldn't be a nice to have feature (imho)

I personally find it contraintuitive that the btc price would rise if Trump was/is winning. Personally, i find the guy giving a weird vibe, and i find it strange that the BTC market would react positively to such a vibe...
But, apparently, i'm wrong.

Do you think low end scrypt ASIC miners can be profitable if used in a type of trading capacity after one is mining? It seems they could come in handy to support some coins that may have value but not enough support? There are a lot on eBay now under $100.
Definition of profitable: like earning interest on a CD/Money Market with a good amount of capital, not "day job" work, and liking the heat (in Seattle one often uses a heater even 8 months out of the year at times).
I think it's pretty certain that you'll always have to look at the price and the power draw per Mh. IMHO, i think that if you buy a very old, outdated scrypt miner that draws way to much power per generated hash and costs proportionally more per unit of hashrate than a new miner, you'll always do a bad deal buying one.

In my mind, signature campaign is an easy way to get started and earn some coins, but most campaigns are only open to high ranked users. some campaigns however, do accept newbies, like me. and i have noticed that most of those campaigns are about a new altcoin, and pays in that certain type of altcoin, which requires me to get a wallet of theirs. Any thoughts on whether its a good idea to participate in those campaigns or potential riskes?
You might earn some pocket change by participating in an altcoin sigcampaign as a newbie member... The risks are: 1) the altcoin you receive turns out to be worthless 2) the OP doesn't pay up 3) the altcoin ends up to be a scamcoin But... If the altcoin turns out to be a success, you might earn a couple satoshi's worth of altcoin, which can be exchanged for BTC or you can hodl it in the hope the price rises even further... It's basically a gamble... If you do your homework right it might be an educated guess instead of a pure gamble... In the end there is a 99.9% probability you made less money by participating in the campaign than you would have made working at Mcdonalds... Sad but true... If you are posting for fun instead of profit, i'd say there is little or no harm in trying.

And what is that? a bitcoin php client?
I tool a quick look at the repo the OP listed to see what we were talking about, and as far as i can see, it's a php frontend that allows several distinct users to manage their own account in a shared wallet. I've already PM'ed the OP and pointed out this code was last edited over 3 years ago, and many of the code is still from the initial commit with description "pre alpha". So there is no guarantee the script will work.

I have never installed this script, but i do know how to install/configure bitcoind (or any other altcoin daemon) on linux + install about any reasonable script in a LAMP environment, so i'm pretty sure i can figure this one out to (if your server specs are OK). If you cannot find anybody with experience in installing this particular script, you can allways PM me as a fallback

I’m busy with a new reward base website. I want to use a cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. There is at the moment to many to choose from. My aim is to get more people into cryptocurrency. Which one will be the best to use and I also want to know why? Your feedback will be appreciated.
Is there a reason why you wouldn't use bitcoin? I'm pretty sure BTC would result in the most users using your website. That being said, you can probably use this site to find the best alternative: https://coinmarketcap.com/If it was my project, i'd probably use BTC, followed by LTC, followed by monero (but that's just a personal opinion)

I have a geccoscience compaq and 2 antminer U2's laying around, gathering dust. I think i still have the original case of my geccoscience, but i'm pretty sure the cases for the U2's were damaged during transport and trown away. I have them laying around just to show some people the basics of mining, but if i get a decent offer i'm willing to think about selling them. I'm from the EU (not the UK), and i'm only entertaining offers in BTC (if you don't trust me, i'm willing to use a trusted escrow... Preferably Ognasty but any other trusted escrow is OK)

first write the seed down just in case. then download the latest windows installer version from electrum.org and run it. the new version will pick up your wallet just fine and you won't need to restore anything from seed.
then try `electrum.exe help`.
I couldn't do that until now so sorry for the delay in the answer. I tried what you mentioned and It's still not working , I will contact Thomas and see If he could help me out. This may not be so relevant to your questions but there is a Console tab when you open Electrum where you can type in commands such as help() which brings up the list of all commands you can use: List of commands: check_seed, contacts, create, createmultisig, createrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, decrypt, deseed, dumpprivkeys, encrypt, freeze, getaddressbalance, getaddresshistory, getaddressunspent, getbalance, getconfig, getmpk, getprivatekeys, getproof, getpubkeys, getrawtransaction, getseed, getservers, getutxoaddress, getversion, help, history, importprivkey, ismine, listaddresses, listunspent, make_seed, mksendmanytx, mktx, password, payto, paytomany, restore, searchcontacts, sendrawtransaction, setconfig, setlabel, signmessage, signtxwithkey, signtxwithwallet, sweep, unfreeze, validateaddress, verifymessage
and then you can use each of these inside that Console. I tried that as well but I'm getting SyntaxError: invalid syntax each time I write something on the console tab . (I tried different combinations like I did with command lines) The syntax error is pretty trivial... Don't try to execute "listunspent". Execute "listunspent()" instead

When all bitcoins get mined, miners will do it for transaction fee's.
So the miners will mine for the little fees? I don't think anybody will do such thing unless the fees are increased a lot more than what they are now which is going to harm bitcoin considering that the price will probably have reached to the moon when all the coins are mined. That's the idear, yes... When all bitcoins are mined, an equilibrium will be reached. A lot of miners will stop mining because it's unprofitable for them to mine for those fees, lowering the diff, making sure the leftover miners will find more blocks with the same hashrate, thus collect more fees. This is a process that will start long, very long before the block reward will go to zero tough. It's 12.5 now, but only 6.25 in less than 4 years. 3.125 in less than 8 years, 1.5625 in less than 12 years, 0.78125 in less than 16 years. https://www.smartbit.com.au/charts/transaction-fees-per-block tells us the current fee is about 0.5 BTC per block and rising, so i guess in about 12 years a miner would get at least half of his income by collecting fees and half of his income by the block reward...

My phone broke and on the phone was my Coinomi and Jaxx. I had taken screenshots of those really long recovery keys but I can't get those screenshots unless I find a way to take the memory out of the circuit board and extract all images. Next best solution would be to buy a replacement screen but I do not even know if the screen is why the screen is not working, or the phone its self
What process would I be going through with Jaxx considering I at least have my wallet address saved due to mining?
The amount I have is not the end of the world but considering how I can;t straight up buy crypto where I am, what I make from mining is my only ticket into crypto investing
If the only thing you have is the address, there's pretty much nothing you can do... You really need that seed. I'd take the phone to a repair shop and see if they can make an estimate on how much it would cost to either repair the phone, or read the ROM, compare it to the amount you had on the wallet. Next time, remember it's not a good idear to keep the backup of the seed on the device running the app... It's a recipe for disaster.

Altcoinhosting did everything he could, I want to thank him alot! Unfortunetly there was some error in script or something, and I couldn't broadcast that transaction.. Anyone else want's to try help me ? It got into a block during the night , seems like you were lucky, or did you manage to contact quickseller or macbook-air, or did you do something else?

I really have NO clue what is going on, only thing I know that pushing that TX gives error:
Script resulted in a non-true stack: []
Can you try what i've PM'ed you and give some feedback... I'm running out of idears here. I must have missed something here

Tried to broadcast it, got 16: mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Script evaluated without error but finished with a false/empty top stack element)
It's been a while since i last executed these steps... Usually, i create the transactions from the core wallet that holds the private key for the address, and i also use core to sign and broadcast the tx. But since syncing core will take several hours/days, it's not really an option here. Would you mind posting the signed transaction? It shouldn't contain sensitive information, since you would broadcast it to the network anyways. Sending to you via PM Can't seem to find the problem i'm afraid... I generated a raw transaction using bitcoin-cli createrawtransaction '[{"txid":"410c33782752a5539005722d6ebc17428c8d68f116fda359635acea7a83943db","vout":0}]' '{"1NbjE76xjJYpFRNFr9xceVudhW4PXdYH7x":0.121}' Giving me an unsigned raw tx hex of 0100000001db4339a8a7ce5a6359a3fd16f1688d8c4217bc6e2d72059053a5522778330c410000000000ffffffff01a0a1b800000000001976a914ecec08591e99b247d1645252b224ec46472d5e7c88ac00000000
which you signed... But i can't seem to find an error here... I must be overlooking something.

Alright, I got my Electrum ready and exported my key there.
Now waiting instructions to perform CPFP
I asked you to import the pk into electrum because it's an easy way to verify the private key... But since you have the private key, i can try to PM you the next step EDIT: I create a raw, unsinged transaction for you: 0100000001db4339a8a7ce5a6359a3fd16f1688d8c4217bc6e2d72059053a5522778330c4100000 00000ffffffff01a0a1b800000000001976a914ecec08591e99b247d1645252b224ec46472d5e7c 88ac00000000 DOUBLECHECK this transaction, even better, ask some other trusted members to doublecked if you're not 100% sure... I'm not responsible for any errors in the tx!!! https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/decodetx/In theory, when you sign this transaction using your private key and broadcast it to the network, it should be a CPFP transaction... It uses the unconfirmed output from the hanging transaction as an input for a new transaction. The output of the new transaction goes to your own address, and the fee is a little over 0.0007 BTC. Why? The hanging transaction is 223 bytes, the new transaction should be roughly the same size, so i took a total size of 500 bytes * 120 satoshi's per byte =60.000 satoshi's. I rounded up to 70.000 satoshi's (= 0.00070000 BTC) Do realise the new fee will be payed by you... It is taken from the second transaction (from your address to your address). If you doublechecked the transaction, and you're fine with it, i'll try to help you to sign it and broadcast it. EDIT: the hex gets messed up due to the forum sometimes, here's a code block with exactly the same tx as above: 0100000001db4339a8a7ce5a6359a3fd16f1688d8c4217bc6e2d72059053a5522778330c410000000000ffffffff01a0a1b800000000001976a914ecec08591e99b247d1645252b224ec46472d5e7c88ac00000000
I am fine, lets go mate! There are several ways to proceed. I find the simplest this way: 1) surf to https://coinb.in/ download the sourcecode to your pc, open the index 2) go to the sign tab 3) enter your private key and the unsigned tx and sign the transaction 4) doublecheck everything (same link as my previous post) 5) broadcast the signed tx (copy the hex code, paste it https://blockchain.info/pushtx and click broadcast) preferably, execute step 2-3 offline. PS: do realise this is only a longshot... Your best shot still lays with quickseller or macbook-air. They can still add this transaction to any block their pool mines, even if it didn't have a fee at all. But if i'm correct, if you follow these 5 steps, you would have made a successfull CPFP, since the child transaction (the one you're signing is paying enough fees to cover both himself and the unconfirmed parent transaction... The parent being the probable scammers transaction)

Except that the difficulty adjustment is limited to x4 or /4 - so if 90% of the network disappeared for some reason, it would take 10 times as long to get to the next difficulty adjustment, which would be to 1/4 of the previous difficulty and then, assuming the same level of mining, another 5 weeks or so to get to the next adjustment after that, before it was back in equilibrium.
You can look at coins like UNB, to see what happens when they get parked at high difficulty with a very slow difficulty adjustment algorithm.
^^^ This is why i love this forum... I learn something new every day I had no idear the diff adjustment was limited. Thanks for the comment!
