Lol, so you're saying a forum coin, made to give back something to the people who gave the most to the forums, should be given to you, a 1-year old member that only posts in one section, because you're a coin collector.

If anything, coin collectors are probably the last people to give a shit about sentimental value, as this coin is just going to be "yet another coin" of your collection. Stop with the tribalism and let people enjoy things.

If you plan on giving them for free, maybe work with one of the coin makers on the forum, and give them some sort of unique signature? Something to prove that the coin was genuinely affiliated with bitcointalk at some point.

For example instead of minting new coins, send a dust transaction from the forum's donation address to the new coins. Or maybe have the design contain some unique handwritten signature, or anything really that's more sentimental rather than valuable.

I don't know what your criteria is going to be, and while I'm an old time member & my usage of the forums is more seasonal, since I made and lost a lot on bitcoin, it would be nice if I could get one. It's a great initiative though, good luck.

Can you post examples of what you mean?

I have around 115$ on neteller, looking to buy btc.

All transfer fees on my side, preferably want a single trade, I want to empty my neteller account for now.

Thank you.

There are 2 newbies with less than 5 posts here... Maybe you could give it a shot. Krog said in the post no randoms allowed.. People finally start to use alts I guess.....

Honestly I hear that statement a lot, but I would totally want someone to actually get the statistics for that. Is it really 10 minutes? For weeks now I'd say the average was more on 1 block per 20 - 30 minutes at best.

I know the difficulty scales with the network, but how that translates to 10 minute blocks is really doubtable..

Lol, what did you even mean by that? Sometimes the network is just having a hard time finding that new block, if you're mad about it invest millions into mining rigs and help the network out!

If you're paranoid, you can keep track of blocks here :

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/blocks

You can see there's a 1h30min gap between the last block and the one after it, the network is having a hard time finding them.

Every time a new block is found, see if it included your tx.

I don't get the interest in these "offline" solutions.

Off-chain is feasible, like achow said, lightning network transactions & channels are off-chain, only become on-chain once a channel is closed or open. It has its benefits in relaxing the network from a certain amount of transactions.

But what's the benefit of these "offline" solutions, if they're going to rely on a centralized entity? If you let the blockstream satellite be the middle man between your transaction and the network, you're instantly dooming the entire "offline" bitcoin world to a sybil attack. Blockstream will have the choice to include whatever tx they want, and maybe in the future even charge people for offline transactions. These solutions aren't "offline", and I don't even see the interest or the appeal.

I saved this image, here's the structure of a segwit vs non-segwit block :

Half of the comments on this thread are a big YIKES. I'm mainly commenting just to follow and have a laugh whenever I feel bored, keep them comments coming.


WOW What next, men are born from the womb to be better entrepreneurs because women don't know how to chase their dreams? Holy shit.

If I had to give my opinion the lack of women is purely because they're affected by the sociologic & cultural background. This is drastically changing in the upcoming generations are more girls are getting dragged into the cyberworld and subsequently learning more about technology, programming, and such. But for a simple reason to the question in the OP, it's just that our moms and aunts never got to work on computers as much as our fathers did, subsequently leading to the gap today. Of course, there's no denying women still prefer not to work into certain fields, but saying "men have more balls, women only want to be housewives" is absolutely gold.

This website does do what you're asking though.. Just scroll down and you'll see all addresses derived from the mnemonic using the default path..

At a 100 posts for Hero+, and 200 posts for Sr to reach that limit, it might tempt people to start post bursting. But I think the campaign manager is not going to let people increase their count so easily :


Anyways, not room for discussion here, keep it on topic about signature updates.

Thank you again!

I mean if there is some sort of tampering it would still be Cloudbet's word against his. No one can prove if that happened or not. So if we settle on the middle ground where both parties agree, OP and Cloudbet both know the deposit address, and they both agree the winnings are valid from whatever bet OP did.

OP still didn't sign the message from the deposit address, and ignored my PM a week ago when I told him to do so to prove his point. We're all only hearing half the story, but if he does indeed still own it then it's pretty much case closed in his favor. And Cloudbet just wants to waste more time.

Technically speaking if the deposit is valid, it implies the case that the winnings also are. That's what I said in an older post, they shouldn't just send back the deposit to the initial address used, just send the winnings as well. Regardless if they claim the account is in the wrong hands, the simple solution remains the same. Honestly any excuse is just a reason to further delay the payment in hopes of it never being done.

Who's going to own the satellite?

Lol, I just checked, it looks like the background's css opacity is wrong which makes it render at the front. It should be a quick fix once dooglus works on this.

You could work around this but I wouldn't recommend it I don't want to have on my hands people's bad luck streaks

Why don't you want to use an external API?

There are a lot of great solutions out there, even for free. I would recommend chain.so, they have the best realtime socket setup, and you can subscribe to events like mew blocks, or new mempool txes.

Parsing blocks and txes yourself from the full node is a total pain in the ass, while it would be a great idea if you're looking to learn, it's a waste of time if you have some business end-goal from this..

Thanks for commenting Now the person who claimed the prize will make sure to swipe the bch too before revealing the private key here!


Thanks! Isn't that a bit shorter than the one before I think? Shouldn't it be 800000000000000-1FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF instead of 1000000000000000?
