12621  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What address type should I choose? Segwit? on: May 13, 2018, 01:15:49 PM
I'll still go for the Legacy Address as of the moment as currently the network fees are way more cheaper compared to last 3 months ago but if the fees becomes unreasonable again then you can simply shift your payments using your segwit wallet. The desktop version of Electrum allows you to have several wallets whether it is Legacy or Segwit.
But why would you do that?

What are the disadvantages of using a Segwit address?

MetaMask uses something called "hierarchical deterministic wallets" (gory details) to generate addresses. Essentially, the addresses that you generate are determined solely by the "seed phrase." The first time you run MetaMask, it will generate a seed phrase for you, and then when you install MetaMask on other computers, you can "restore" from the same seed phrase. This means that the same addresses will be generated in the same order.

There are several ways. That's what I would do:

1. Visit bitaddress.org (or download the source code and run locally - recommended);
2. Keep moving your mouse until it gets to 100% and generates a Bitcoin address;
3. Print the page with the Bitcoin Address and the Private Key/Secret (DON'T SHARE IT WITH ANYONE);

Load your wallet with the Address and use the Private Key to spend.

There are also a few trusted websites that offer a paper wallet with a more slick design, like bitcoinpaperwallet.com (I recommend downloading the source code and running locally aswell)

You can also just add a "cache:" before the URL and Google will do the rest. The only issue is that the URL must be exactly equal to the one cached by Google.

E.g: the post you linked above (.../index.php?topic=3210468) isn't cached by Google and will result in an error if you add the "cache:" string. But if you add a ".0" after the url, it's going to work (.../index.php?topic=3210468.0). Take a look at the url you clicked the "drop down button" and "Cached". It's the URL ending with the .0 part.

They are lazy and don't want to check who is promoting what, they prefer to ban it all like true professionals Grin
I dare you to show me at least 2 ICO's from the last 4 months that actually did something good for the community instead of creating a shit/non-working/unnecessary product. The sad truth is that 98% of all ICO's are a money grab scheme and that 95% of all projects don't require millions like most are asking. Facebook just did the math and decided that it's not worth checking 100 projects to allow 1 that maybe won't mislead their costumers.

This thread is not only a duplicate but IMO it's way bigger (due to you using a big text size) than it should be.

This page already explains every BBCode that can be used in the forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=help;page=post#bbcref
12627  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mining to pay my computer off? on: May 12, 2018, 04:10:10 PM
Yes I didn't plan to mine bitcoins but altcoins. So how much do you think I could earn on altcoins?
You can always calculate your estimate earnings with a tool like this one to see if it's worth: https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

E.g: If I had your GPU (1050ti), I would only earn ~0.00089BTC or $7.49 per month (already taking the energy cost in my country).
12628  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Jaxx wallet doesnt change address anymore on: May 12, 2018, 03:31:54 PM
I am not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve? Do you mean to say that your change address is the same as your input? Or that the software does not 'generate' a new address when you click on receive?
It's pretty clear in the post: "my address doesnt change anymore after receiving different transactions"

OP: There is no way to "force" a new address. You could try cleaning the cache at the settings or reinstalling the wallet (make sure you have your seed backed up) to see if anything changes. Other than that, I couldn't find a possible solution. Or even better, just stop using Jaxx and move to a better wallet Cool

Thank you for the link. Will try this. The last news about MEW and hackers impressed.  May I ask you any question if I have such?
Sure. Whenever you need help, just PM me or create a new thread.
12630  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Myetherwallet alternatives on: May 12, 2018, 02:19:26 PM
Where should I download it? Can you help with the link or whatever, please? Because I do notsomething know yet a lot of things.
https://metamask.io/

It also has a great anti-phishing feature.
12631  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why social networks ban cryptocurrency? on: May 11, 2018, 09:19:45 PM
I would be really interested in reading that research myself, because that sounds quite difficult to understand for me. Only 50% of the people in the world even have access to the internet. This would prove to be quite the obstacle when trying to spread the good word about cryptocurrency, at least in my estimations. I know that it is possible to use paper wallets outside of the internet, but I can't practically understand how these people would have knowledge of cryptocurrency without access to internet. Do you remember where you read that?
IIRC I saw those numbers in this medium article, which data was taken from this one: How many people actually own cryptocurrency?

After reading the second article, looks like he is talking about some specific countries (US, UK, Germany, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, China and India) and not literally the whole world (mainly countries where people don't have internet)
12632  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitgo Hacked? My computer Hacked? Or false positive? on: May 11, 2018, 06:35:12 PM
This is the js file (which can be found in the BitGo login page) and that your antivirus is detecting as malicious: https://www.bitgo.com/js/BitGoJS.14b27091ae4a5ec9.js

And there is nothing wrong with it (AFAIK). Thus this is most likely just a false positive.
12633  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: mycelium bcash module on: May 11, 2018, 06:26:57 PM
I don't know what's there up to, there is already a BCH mycelium app in play store as and don't know why they merge it to the main app.
They didn't?

If you are asking why they didn't merge it, it's because (like the name says) that's a (optional) module. If you care about BCH and wants to hold it in your wallet, download the module. Otherwise, don't and the Mycelium app won't be *more* bloated with things you don't want.
12634  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: mycelium bcash module on: May 11, 2018, 06:10:22 PM
They said that this new "module" thing was necessary for BCH/Segwit/LN and that BCH support was the most requested feature, so they prioritized that.

Still, I don't recommend Mycelium for anyone. Don't forget that they made a ICO with a proposal of building a new wallet 2 years ago and they literally did nothing with the money they collected. "Expect A Massive Upgrade" Roll Eyes

I can't believe people are still falling for this scam 7 months after its launch.

Can't you read the thread and do a 2 + 2 to see that this website doesn't accelerate anything? That this is just a SCAM? The post above yours is literally saying that the website is a scam.
12636  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why social networks ban cryptocurrency? on: May 11, 2018, 05:02:11 PM
Wasn't Facebook talking about adopting Bitcoin, or some type of crypto, as a currency on their site?
Not adopting Bitcoin or any other crypto, but making their own.

I'm more of a conspiracy theorist and I think it might be done in order to stop adoption,
like those who don't want crypto to be adopted(big bankers) 'force' the platforms not to list crypto.
Then fewer and fewer 'every day people' who aren't much into computer stuff in general, won't be exposed to crypto,
and maybe never read about it?  Roll Eyes
You are crazy if you think that stoping cryptocurrencies ads at Facebook will have any impact in the adoption. I have seen a recent research that claims that 75% of the world already know about cryptocurrencies (even that a majority of them don't understand about it).

Facebook is actually trying to protect their users against scams and shitcoins. I remember seeing ads on Facebook about those "get rich" ICO's with a 50% investment bonus, and they end up failing or running up with the investors money. Now imagine your regular Joe not that much tech savvy scrolling through Facebook and seeing an ad like this. He will probably think that the ad is legit since it's on Facebook and will end up investing into this shitcoins.

Isn't merit a feature of the forum?

Hi, I just sent some BTC, but nothing is show yet on the website. The transaction has 6 confirmations. What should I do?
Contact the ChipMixer support at chipmixer@protonmail.com

Since there are a lot of users reporting the same issue, this is most likely an issue with ChipMixer's node that is not catching up the new transactions. But don't worry. I'm 100% sure that they are going to fix it and everyone will be able to withdrawal your chips.
12639  Other / Meta / Re: Why is reference to "bitcointalk.org" triggering a filter in Wikipedia? on: May 10, 2018, 05:54:59 PM
That's weird because I can't find "bitcointalk.org" at the Wikipedia's 2007-2016, 2017 or 2018 Spam Blacklist.

And one of the steps to ask for a review is to check the reason why it got blacklisted.


12640  Other / Meta / Re: Why is reference to "bitcointalk.org" triggering a filter in Wikipedia? on: May 10, 2018, 05:35:12 PM
What I tried to do was use an archive.org page for bitcointalk.org and it was also not allowed. I assume because of containing "bitcointalk.org" in the URL.
Try to use archive.is (there won't be any mention to bitcointalk in the URL).
