The lock is not green on the address bar and why is there no https://www.binance.com on the address bar on the top? it is because you are using the latest version of Google Chrome and they (for some reason) thought it is a good idea to make these recent changes: - the beginning of the addresses are trimmed which means you don't see the "http" or "https" unless you click in the address bar - the lock icon no longer has any color and you have to click it to see the additional information and to see the certificate you have to select it. bitcointalk for example:  |

the timings don't exactly match in my opinion. usually when there is a price drop due to a news that causes panic, the panic occurs right away as the news comes out. in fact there is always a pre-dump before the news comes out from the "insiders" then the panic begins and within that day the sharp drop takes place.
in this case news came out on 27th and after more than 30 hours we saw the sharp drop below $10k. if the news were the reason then price should have reached that low on 27th not the next day.
however, it might have contributed to the panic though a little bit.

this company that is doing this research is just doing this research to promote itself. and I wonder how long they kept doing that and what impact it will have on the crypto world.
i don't think they can affect this world that much specially since there is a lot of them nowadays and they usually are full of hot air. if they actually offer decent services and lead to capture of some thieves, hackers or something like that then it could be considered useful for example helping exchanges get the money they lost back. and that could help a lot but usually most of them are incompetent and so far we haven't seen anything useful out of them either. |

You can export them or you can copy and paste them in a notepad.
Playing with private keys in HD wallets is not something that is smart to do, this can only increase the chance of someone came into possession of such backup, especially if the private keys are stored in digital form without encryption. Also every infected computer can get such info via screen logger, or in some other way, it's actually just another additional and completely unnecessary attack vector. Every time user is send coins, new change / receive address is created, and that means new private keys. Some wallets, like Electrum, have inherent flaw where any single private key and master public key are enough to get all private keys of a wallet, so you should always treat private keys of such wallets as if they were your seeds. This means never import private keys into some altcoin wallets to claim forks, even if corresponding addresses are empty, don't share it with anyone just for fun and so on. it obviously would have been better if the hardened paths were used but i wouldn't call that a flaw exactly. users don't usually reveal one private key plus master public key, there isn't any situation for it. for example when claiming shitforkcoin they either import 1 private key or they import their seed which endangers their whole wallet anyways. |

When I entered this market, I did not panic. At the beginning of 2018 I started, investing in this market at that time I bought ETH for $ 700. By the end of 2018, ETH went to the lowest level of $ 80 but I did not panic and sold, I persisted in holding the ETH I bought. and from then on I thought that my persistence was the cause of my loss.
in other words you bought an inflationary altcoin with unlimited supply which was super pumped near its peak of the bubble and have lost 75% of your investment (from $700 to $170). you see sometimes "panicking" is a good thing specially when you are dealing with pump and dump altcoins such as ETH. it has nothing to do with your persistence but your lack of experience not being able to see the pump and dumps. |

usually you never invest all your money in different things, you should have kept an "emergency cash" at hand for this matters. not to mention the popular saying: "never invest what you can't afford to lose". but it seems like you didn't do any of that so the answer is sell some now disregarding the current price and what it might be soon, and try to have better plans in the future, have some emergency cash lying around so that you don't get stuck like this.

Address: 1757jTnwZTQtH6kdvTDA8gZzcEe9bWF5RQ
number of txs: 44
this address has 154 transactions and first of all it has 0 OP_Return data in it so i don't know how this relates to your topic. secondly i did a quick check on a bunch of transactions sent out of this address and i didn't see any repeated R values either: 0b496347f58379cd53a11187e5cf9305aa62823b8773eb75cf41de1bba8bbbb4

i obviously didn't go through them all so please post the 2 actual transaction IDs that have a signature with repeated R value next time. The transactions in question in this topic including this output: 9bf7e6a..... Not looking like Omni
it was obviously just an example! |

Not sure what your idea of strength is when you are quoting that article.
But right now btc dominance is over 68%. I was surprised that in early july ethereum had about a 28% dominance. Which was strange and bitcoin dominance back then fell to below 40% for the first time in a long time.
that's not dominance my friend and it doesn't matter if big websites like coinmarketcap.com call it "dominance" it still doesn't make it so. it is simply a number that shows the amount of supply each coin has. ETH has more than 100 million supply with about 70% of it premined and not in circulation. bitcoin in comparison has only about 18 million and with no premine whatsoever and everything that was created entered circulation. in math when calculating (x*y) you increase "x" 5.5 times you can increase the result by a lot even if your "y" is smaller. |

i don't think there is anything negative about Bakkt, but at the same time i think it is over hyped more than it really is. not a big fan of Futures either but in the past news like this had always led to more confidence in the market and helped with the rise.
considering the current situation, this may actually be the drop to get ready for that upcoming rise next week so that whales could accurate more bitcoins at a cheaper price that they could normally do (meaning $9k instead of $10.5k).

in other words McAfee yet again made another obvious statement just to remain in the media and sites like OP's love him for providing them with material to write stuff every day  otherwise anything below $10k has been a great discount this entire year starting from the time when we were at $6k and that nasty fall came along and brought the price down to $3k. this is no different either, it is just a matter of time before this sideways action ends too and we see $15k in a week after it ends. |

Fair enough. But it’s currently $9400 range. 8K could easily happen today.
That said...I am long term holder. So when it goes down heavy, I look at it as a buying opportunity. I don’t trade, because I ALWAYS lose money that way.
a lot of things can easily happen. price could fall down to $100 in the next 48 hours or it can shoot up to $100k. but we have no reason to believe they are possible as there is no indication of market moving in either direction. so far entering the $9k levels as i said is what happened before and has been happening ever since $13k was reached and could not be broken. ps. if you don't trade then why are you getting excited about this dip? 4-5 days of sideways action.
you mean after 2 months of sideways we will see 4-5 more days of the same thing?  |

Blockchain is such a small, niche and experimental technology that the only way to learn it is to read open source code, public discussions and mailing lists. There's no university that offers bachelor's degree in blockchain, the closest thing you can get is a degree in applied cryptography. Speaking about cryptography, it's absolutely fundamental for blockchain, so said degree is the best thing you can get if you are serious about becoming a blockchain dev. Plus, in worse case scenario where blockchain proves to be a vaporware and disappears, you'd still have a useful degree that can lend some very good jobs.
i don't think a "blockchain" degree is a good idea anyways. blockchain isn't really a new technology, it is the combination of what already existed. i think we can categorize it into 3 categories, the blockchain (aka database) the cryptography and the P2P communication network. that's all there is to it really and each knowledge could be gained separately. |

Good grief. guys. Never having dealt a whit in bitcoin, I was actually amazed at how that ONE transaction came down.
you don't seem to be dealing with bitcoin. your problems seems to be confusion about centralized services and the fees they charge you (gambling site called Bovada) and the fees you have to pay for on-chain transactions. your numbers also don't make any sense and you don't answer the questions that were asked of you! Paypay is infintely better.
sure. 2.9% fee charged on every transaction is so much better than 1 satoshi/byte fees charged on any transaction  |

https://www.walletexplorer.com is the only thing i can think of, it doesn't have the option to enter 2 addresses, you will have to search for them individually and see the links. there was also a block explorer which showed a visualization of the entire transaction history of each address which could be used to find the links but i can't seem to find it anymore. maybe it was blockchain.info and removed that option. does this remind anybody of anything?

that is usually how OP_Return outputs look like, they insert a certain type of "data" into bitcoin blockchain that sometimes has a certain purpose so it starts with the same bytes. sometimes it is just concatenated bytes and sometimes it is a full script that could be run. for example someone posted this 2 days ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179450.0other than that i don't think anybody can give you any more information unless you also post the transaction IDs. also i don't see how you think this has anything to do with reusing k values for ECDSA (which is i assume what you meant by "repeated R"). can you explain why you think that? have you checked their signature and saw the same R being repeated? |

Current price: $10,162
Prediction: huge correction within 48 hours (8K range)
We are dropping like a rock. $9800
where?!!! this is the same thing that has been happening over the past 30+ days. price goes to $10k+ range then comes back down to $9k+ range and the goes back up again. the minimum that was reached this time is not yet as big as last two times for you to get excited your "prediction" is not a correction by the way, you are expecting a crash to $8k which has not yet happened and this drop is not "like a rock" as long as it is the same thing as before inside the same range as before!!  |

Just don't misplace your redeem script it is of course easier to store the redeem script but you can always reproduce it by only remembering the locktime you used! so lets say you chose 700000 as locktime, the redeem script is going to be: 700000 + OP_CheckLocktimeVerify + OP_Drop + publickey + OP_CheckSig easy peasy lets say pubkey is: 02BD37101E4B743E5C16BF59FE69786659DDF7B210C142728B16ECA40E0B666D3A
03-60ae0a b1 75 21-02bd37101e4b743e5c16bf59fe69786659ddf7b210c142728b16eca40e0b666d3a ac
even if you forget your locktime, brute forcing it is super easy. you just have to start from the ballpark, increment and hash. you could also avoid using P2SH to also have the benefit of reducing your transaction size by ~41 bytes if you used that script directly as your ScriptPub. but there is no tool for that. |

Test: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- Quoted, but fails to verify... Note that generally, you cannot sign messages from "P2SH" (aka "3"-type) addresses. Also, you shouldn't include the <'s and >'s... it confuses most of the verification systems. Were you using a Trezor to sign that message? (It's one of the few systems I know of that will sign using a "3"-type address) i am still surprised that after 2 years of this type of address (nested SegWit) being around they still haven't done anything about it. the change is super easy too! every code has 2 parts: recover public keys and derive the address from them to compare with the given one. they just have to change the second one from GetP2PKH address to an "if" where it derives P2WPKH-P2SH one if the address started with 3. by the way neither one of the derived public keys seem to work here: 027695a6b442074738985a72c8b7995fc6bd83000932a650825729196415e188c3

There are definitely some shady questions like "is ExPertBiTcOinTraDeRlul.com legit?" even though the website is obviously a scam, but how do we really know for sure if the poster is a secondary account(for their main accounts to gain postcount by replying to the topic), a not-so-subtle promoter of the website, or a person that's asking a genuine question?
i think it is pretty obvious in most cases though. there are "symptoms"! for example when the starter goes out of his way to make sure the link is there using BBCode url tags, specially when they do it more than once. and also they always disappear after starting the topic never coming back to read the replies or answer them. and i believe the purpose of these topics is always "traffic", they don't care if you post a bad feedback on that topic, all they want is people to open their link and give them some traffic. |

it may just be me but i consider hardware wallets to only be good for when you have a large amount of bitcoin and also want to spend it regularly. otherwise they are not good for "storage". for that i still prefer cold storage where you choose a medium that is physically disconnected from the internet, and store your wallet/keys there. now that "medium" could be a piece of paper, wood or metal or it could be an operating system installed on a device that has no internet connection ever.
