Bumping again after some time.

I still think Portuguese board lacks merit sources.
There are many locals such as Indonesian, Russian, Germany, etc where users are able to obtain enough merits just by posting in local boards.

That's not the case of the Portuguese board, where only like 5-10 individuals were able to rank up after the introduction of the merit system

About taking profits Early.

One should never regret taking profits.
You can have a strategy, like 10% profit every 50% gains, or 100% gains, whatever.

I only took profits from altcoins, to buy bitcoins with them
But you can take some profits on Bitcoin, and if the price goes down you can buy back more, or just keep your cash. You will feel better in bear market times.

You can just create a new address, which you never used before.

It will have zero balance and no past transactions.


Why can't you  just mail him your public address newly generated? What is the advantage that your service offer over this solution?

If you are very paranoid you can just encrypt a file with your address inside and give him the password. No need for investors

Which wallet are you using?

 seed is everything you need to recover your funds on most wallets.

Just note it down on a piece of paper and recover itusign the same wallet software or another one if they both use bip39 seed..

If you are using some other wallet that generate a wallet file and you encrypt that file, you need to know the password to decrypt it.

I strongly suggest that you use Electrum.org wallet or some other wallet that supports bip39 seed, because it is much simpler to back up and recover it than dealing with files and encryption (in my opinion)

This is the biggest problem supporting bch , not supporting segwit... This ridiculous drama between BTC and bch should be over already.

However, I believe this will be more positive than negative for the ecosystem.
Blockchain.info wallet was a great deal when I bought my first 0.1 BTC (when it wasn't worth much). It was easy to use, allowed me to have my private keys(so I learned a little very fast).. nice UI.

We still lack good exchanges. Kyc is not that big deal if the exchange is reliable. Who can't buy stocks without ky, for example.

I agree we shouldn't give our documents to any website, and I don't know if this one can be trusted or not. But
, investors need to do kyc to use fiat , we can't run away from that. And that's not a problem if they are not selling our docs to shitful icos or shady websites.

And who will decide which coin is a shitcoin and which one is not?

Having a central authority to decide that is against all cryptocurrency fundamentals.
Let the market decide. They will die in time, as some newbies...

To complement Heretik answer.

I think you can play by yourself in this website, and you will see how  HD wallets works. It is a very illustrative exercise.

Insert a seed there. Then you choose the coin you want. You will see that many public address and privatekeys were generated from that seed.

Now go and choose another coin.
You can also play with derivation path (segwit/legacy for example)s and account numbers (for different users )

You will soon realize that the same sed can generate almost unlimited addresses for each coin  (unlimited to our limited perspective as humans, but there are only a few billions per seed).

Thanks again. I am already on the risk, as I accumulate each month before withdrawals. I am only losing the profit. It is small, but everything counts.

Thanks for the fast response. That's a good return.
One more question.

Can I withdrawal anytime I want? Can I click invest now, and remove in one week ?



You are right. But as I receive money there everyweek, and I don't withdrawal every week, I have an interesting opportunity to invest.
I could invest my earnings of 3-4 weeks , withdrawal and start again the next month .

Hello.

I was thinking about investing in yolodice. But the FAQ is too complex , and I would like to hear from investors.
Did you receive 0.007% in a good weekend?

Tell me, if I let in yolodice something like 0.01 BTC, 10% leverage, how much will I have in a month? Considering past performance, ofc.

I know it's not precise,but 1%, 10%, 0.0001%? I just want to have an idea of how much it is profitable. Thanks.

Thanks. It was really that video. I thought it was, but I wasn't sure. That's a nice video. in this case the 12 transactions and tainted coins could fool some exchange or whatever.

He suggested in the videor that you could do 12 internal transactions inside your own wallet to fool those exchanges that say your coins are tainted because they were mixed.

But a deeper investigation on someone tracking you wouldn't work. Someone from government looking for someone avoiding taxes for example... They could look at the mixing and try to find your original addresses leading to an exchange with kyc for example.

It's not a matter of being noob friendly or not. There was no option to set fees for closing channels. There was only one option to close friendly or unfriendly (something like that, dispute or not dispute, don't remember). I choose the one with lower fees , but even so fees were not customizable.

O believe every wallet should let users customize their fees, on sat/byte.
Because this would really lead to lower fees in general, everyone would look for lower fees unless absolutely necessary.
Free market would really work better.

For now most users just use "priority" or "standard" or whatever navme the wallet choose, but that really doesn't let you control the fees.

The fees were high at the time (like 40 sat).
But I opened the channel with very low fee. I didn't thought that eclair would just use a "recommended fee" (I hate this idea) to close it. It costed me about 0.0004 BTC to close it.

I believe every wallet, lightning or not, should let you decide which fee to use.i would use 1 sat byte to close the channel, and waiting 5 days would be ok to me.

How can a coin not even listed in exchanges have a trade volume? It may never been listed in an exchange, ever.
Coin utility isn't a warranty also, because a project may be amazing but never accomplished.

If the coin is already listed,  you can analyze the project more clearly.
You also know how much it is worth.

However I agree with you, 0.02 BTC volume is ridiculous.

Hello

Just a question. You said you have no commission. But , why do you charge a minimum fee?

Why don't you let users define the fee they want to pay? It is better for everyone, to let the free market define the fees.

Also, if the necessary fee is lower than 0.00025 BTC, you are enforcing users to pay a higher fee, or is it an invisible commission?


And 0.00025 is a very high fee if you ask me.

Do you let users have their privatekeys, or is this a custodial service?

I used lightning network once, and I have some critics about it.

The fees to topen/close channels were higher than I expected, and they were also not transparent.
I set a low fee (like 3 sat byte) but later on when closing the channel I was charged high fees, and I don't know where they came from. I couldn't set them also.
I was using Éclair wallet and had no problems with the software (ui seed etc, all fine)

Hello.
First of all, this should be moved to beginners and help session.


About your question.
It depends on the  kind of wallet you are using.

A  hardware wallet cannot be hacked, theoretically, because your keys is stored offline (in a piece of paper, how can someone hack a paper?)

But if if you have a web/online wallet, then your funds can be accessed and hacked just like an email (for example, blockchain.info). Those are the most insecure wallets, and if you are hacked that's over. No way to recover.

There are also desktop/mobile wallets , such as electrum.org , which are app and programs that runs in your device. They are more secure, but if hacked (if your computer or phone is compromised) it's over also.

Additionally to what others have said.
It doesn't matter which one you download (I prefer standalone because it is cleaner).
And you don't have to enter your seed again. Be careful and always double check everything because entering your seed (most of phishing asks your seed)

That's better than most bounties in altcoin session, which are not even listed in exchanges at all....

Usually those projects are promoted during or before the ico, and listed in exchanges afterwards

I once saw antonopoulos explaining that even using a mixer your coins can be tracked back to you, so a mixer would be pseudo anonymous.
Any thoughts on this? Probably even mixers can be traced back to sender if someone spend a lot of time?

He said in a video, I will look for it later.
