10781  Other / Archival / Japan cryptocurrency groups to combat 'HORRIFIC MARKET HACK' on: February 10, 2018, 05:15:05 PM
JAPAN’S two cryptocurrency industry groups are planning to form a self-regulating body by merging in a desperate effort to combat future market hacks following the loss of $530million (£375.68) from the Coincheck exchange, it has been claimed.

The country’s Blockchain Association and the Cryptocurrency Business Association could merge as early as April, according to sources close to the matter.

However, the latter declared that nothing has been decided as of yet.

The move is surely an effort to prevent future hacks after a devastating attack on crypto exchange Coincheck saw hundreds of millions stolen, marking one of the biggest ever virtual currency heists.

Since the incident, Tokyo appears determined to regulate the market.

You’re the most fascinating person to come to this thread yet. Your name is hugeblack but you’re from Dubai. You advertise your own service to make custom signature ads for campaign managers but your signature also links grue’s thread for his Signature Adblock Script. You're a true bitcoin supporter and a goldbug but you go to the altcoin section to sell them stuff for bitcoin. I think you’re bitcointalk’s first true schizophrenic. LOL

More than enough of your posts have attempted to be helpful to others and deserving of merit. 20 merit points awarded.
the wise people "like you" are only ones who care about helping others.
Hugeblack is a wrong translation for "المادة السوداء" [arabic word] which mean "Dark matter" like C++"++C", google "Googol".
If you want I can edit your signature.

3 merit points awarded Worth more but I'm poor

10785  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / your extent of knowledge about "Bitcoin"| Technical side on: February 10, 2018, 08:52:57 AM
Most people can tell you that Bitcoin is a digital cryptocurrency – even if they don’t use those exact terms.

But when you start asking these people about how Bitcoin works, they might start to get quiet. So how exactly does Bitcoin work?[1]

Some say " Bitcoin is just a mobile app or computer software program. You manage your Bitcoin wallet using this software and can send and receive Bitcoins with the software. For most users, your extent of knowledge about how Bitcoin works can safely end there."[2]

Does your knowledge really stop at this or you deepen?
What do you think about other users?

10789  Economy / Trading Discussion / Price stability-The end of trading between platforms on: February 09, 2018, 05:57:06 PM
In the last 6 months, the price of the Bitcoin has seen great fluctuations between trading platforms "more than 1000$ differance" Which led to the emergence of the sale and purchase of Bitcoin between these platforms at the same time."High fee and long confirmed time"
Recently we have seen price stability

#BTC Average: 8638.60$
#Bitfinex - 8663.00$ - #Poloniex -  #Cryptopia - 8555.00$ - #Bittrex - 8645.00$ - #GateCoin - 8500.00$ 8657.00$ - #Bitstamp - 8704.15$ - #Coinbase - 8540.02$ - #Binance - 8656.88$ - #CEXio - 8800.00$ - #Kraken - 8665.00$


Do you think that this type of trade is over or the price will return to great volatility?
10790  Economy / Economics / Blockchain: cryptocurrency & Banks on: February 09, 2018, 02:03:57 PM
In 2013, the news was full of banks shutting down bitcoin company accounts and worrying about being displaced by the innovation.
This continued in 2014, while a handful of brave institutions began to look at the underlying technology.
In 2015, we started to see the emergence of "thought leadership" from some incumbents, as well as promises of imminent blockchain trials and launches.
These began to materialize and multiply in 2016, as use-case testing spread.
And in 2017, we have seen an even greater number of trials, proofs-of-concept, and prototypes, as well as the growth of financial consortiums.[1]
most announcements these days appear to be along the lines of, "Hey, we're looking at blockchain!" – it would be more surprising to read a headline proclaiming that a bank is not interested in the technology.
compounded by even more opinions on cryptocurrencies and token sales, as well as a stream of "me too" experiments that seem to repeat what has already been done.[2]
What is your expectation for the future?
Do you think banks will support blockchain?
Most banks say "we want blockchain but not bitcoin" Can they really use the blockchain without bitcoin "cryptocurrency"?.
10791  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How many nodes blockchain.info has? on: February 09, 2018, 10:59:13 AM
Out of curiosity, How many full nodes belong to blockchain.info ?

I could not find this information. most of the links (in blockchain.info site) to that information are dead.
Do you know the difference between blockchain.info "wallet" and Bitcoin Core "Full node"?
Any computer that connects to the Bitcoin network is called a node. Nodes that fully enforce all of the rules of Bitcoin are called full nodes.[1]
GLOBAL BITCOIN NODES DISTRIBUTION
I think the main reason for the dead nodes is that most people have moved to segwit nodes
10792  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How to make web wallet service? on: February 09, 2018, 04:31:28 AM
So there are many web-wallet services providing sites.
How they program it?
developers must have a background on Blockchain, cryptocurrency and Basic knowledge of dealing with sites and their creation.
html/css - javascript [node.js] - [python/php] - [SQL] - Security team.

Are there bitcoin's opened API to generate wallet and address to receive coin?
for cold wallets.
How about other alt-coin's cases?
You mean support more than a coin?
All of these currencies are the protocols of Blockchain's, success in designing a wallet for the Bitcoin means the possibility of adding any other number of coins.
If that coin is based on bitcoin sources and copied, then they also automatically provide API?
Same above
10793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What coins use Ethereum Platform? on: February 05, 2018, 09:46:46 AM
https://ethplorer.io/top]Ethereum is a decentralized platform, with it’s own blockchain and Ethereum’s “coin” or better put currency is called Ether. (similar to Bitcoin)[1]
A “token” by definition is a representation of any fungible tradible good such as currency, loyalty points, gold certificates, in game items and more.
The idea of a token itself is niether exclusive to Ethereum nor any other platform.[2]
I think you are talking about "token" not "Ethereum Platform"

10794  Bitcoin / Press / [2018-2-4]Major Banks Ban Buying Bitcoin With Your Credit Card on: February 05, 2018, 08:41:41 AM
Most major U.S. credit card issuers have now banned the use of their cards to buy Bitcoin or other digital currencies, in a move intended to decrease both financial and legal risk.
Bank of America began blocking cryptocurrency purchases on Friday, according to Bloomberg. JPMorgan did the same on Saturday.
Citigroup also says it is halting cryptocurrency purchases on credit, and Capital One and Discover had already enacted their own bans. That means all of the top five credit card issuers have announced or implemented bans.

Hello! I'm new here in the forum but not new about trading at all. I came from sports trading where i had some really good profit, but unfortunately it has been banned in my country so i found this cryptocurrency trading thing and it really caught my attention. I believe here have all the information i need to get more into touch, but there are so many topics and i would need to spend days to read them all. Can you please give me some good key topics that are a must read?
Thanks!
you say you are not new to trading at all.So it is better to increase your knowledge of digital currencies and Bitcoin in particular then you will know the rest of the currencies.
start learning about wallets, tokens, airdrop, supply ...etc.
Select what you want to buy or sell and your time [Token or coin]and your exchange site.

10796  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons for market drop - Panic, you lose! on: February 05, 2018, 05:45:34 AM
One of the two biggest reasons for the sustained dip has been happening for 4-5 months and the other is a usual yearly downtrend which has been observed in Bitcoin for years now. People didn't know until this year because, in case you didn't know, Bitcoin wasn't worth 1k until a year ago.
I agree with you at this point that Bitcoin needs to correct after the big ups in the last period "Health Correction"
There is no obvious reason for this collapse but the market needs to take out the false bloom.
Reason 1 - Tether. Tether is crypto cancer. 2 billion Tether has been released in the market in just 4-5 months without fiat backing by Bitfinex. Tether is used to pump and dump all coins at once. If you notice the volume, Tether has roughly 10-15% of total market volume in any given 24 hour period which is enough to move the whole market one way and then the other. Bitfinex uses Tether across exchanges to manipulate and monopolize market opportunities.
All the wrong analyzes are trying to raise the price of Tether "Just like what happened with the Ripple"
Reason 2 - Chinese new year is on February 14. It's the largest human migration of the year and a pretty huge deal, bigger than Christmas. A big dip during this period happens on a yearly basis.
China is a big player in this market but it has no effect.
see what happened after China's ban " was not as big"
10797  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's earliest developers on: February 04, 2018, 02:25:04 PM
Very interesting, am surprised I never discovered this little forum hack myself! I have entertained some ideas (far, far behind on the backburner) of trying to compile a comprehensive list of developers - not only those that contributed directly on github but also those whose early discussions and efforts would have at least made some sort of important contribution. Amir Taaki, for example, I often read about and he's always noted as an "early Bitcoin developer" but I don't see any of his contributions. Then we've got very old projects like Skyledger that claims to have been built by "original Bitcoin developers" but none of their names come up on Github. They do share the same radical outlooks and demeanour - quite unlike the devs active here and on github who I find are very collected, very logical, fastidious (I hope I don't presume).

Posterity is important to me, for some context. But I know a lot of people would be against this sort thing, judging from responses I've seen last year when some new Satoshi emails were unearthed for the first time. Understandable from a privacy point of view.
Most of these developers are still alive and most of them visit this forum continuously [eg. sirius i see him online many times].
If you read the first posts you will find that satoshi and sirius friends and/or team[November 19, 2009, 09:12:39 PM - November 20, 2009, 10:16:03 AM] So all the information about the Bitcoin with him.
There are also a small number of the first 1000 subscribers connected this month will find one with good information.
If we follow patterns of writing we will find alternative accounts of them.
10798  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How long will it take and how much will the fee be? on: February 04, 2018, 01:02:43 PM
You should seriously consider importing your wallet into another like for example electrum which I believe I posted a tutorial of in my previous post (#3). Just be sure to get the latest version.
If I send $100 btc using Exodus or Electrum how much will the fee be? How many days will it take to clear?
Exodus wallet: You can’t control the number of fees "set custom fee". In general, they use conversions such as this site https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/.
Fee will be about 170 sat/b "without segwit " High fee Not recommended.
You can export your private key from Exodus wallet "windows ctrl+shift+D " and import it into any segwit wallet.

Electrum: Best option for you you can "custom fee" and send 100$ with "0.5$-10$"fee.

From Blockchain.info -------->Electrum

From Exodus -------->Electrum

If you do not like Electrum wallet try this GreenAddress Bitcoin Wallet


The cheapest method is to exchange BTC for ETH is using Currency exchange or zazarb after that you can use Exodus wallet to exchange your ETH into other altcoins.
10799  Economy / Economics / Cryptocurrency Market [centralization] on: February 04, 2018, 12:35:26 PM
- On Friday, many virtual coins saw a violent sell-off with billions of dollars wiped off of the entire cryptocurrency market.[1]
- Experts have cited worries over tighter regulation and concern that a digital coin called tether could destabilize the cryptocurrency market.[2]


The last two days witnessed a harmonious movement of all currencies up and down "Almost all currencies have the same graph".
We have seen the same ups or downs for all currencies at the same time.

Do you think the market is going to be centralized? Or that Bitcoin has the greatest influence on this?
Do we really need all this number of currencies?

10800  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Exodus wallet on: February 04, 2018, 09:59:38 AM
Hello. Has anyone any experience of this wallet? Looking to hold bitcoin in it. Up to now I have held in exchanges but want to hold in my own wallet.
I do not advise you to use it for a bitcoin or for long-term savings. There are a lot of wallets better than them but this does not mean it's a bad wallet "not suitable for your use"

exodus wallet doesn't have an important feature; set custom fees is a necessary feature to add to a wallet.
you can export your private key and use any other wallet support custom fees.
Even exodus does not support segwit address which is unfortunate.
I agree with you but most of the use of this wallet is Ether and exchange it to the rest of the altcoins.
On the other hand this wallet supports a wide range of altcoins with the possibility of conversion between them easily.

use Electrum for bitcoin and Exodus  for altcoins
