Can we pay with ETH instead? BTC is too slow and fees are 2 high.
You can't. Not sure if theymos would open an exception to manually accept other coins, but I don't think he would.

But regardless, fees are super low right now. I'm pretty sure you can get your transaction in the next block with a fee of 5-10 sat/byte. That's ~$0,07 with a legacy address, 1 input and 1 output.

Just take a look at the mempool: https://dedi.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24h

what is merit ? is it useful ? and how i can get some of them  Grin Grin
Depends. Are you here to rank up and join a shitcoin bounty to earn money? If you are, merit is the most useful thing of this forum.

TLDR: Now you need merit to rank up. For example, if one day you want to become a Sr. Member, you will need to get 250 merits. You can get them by making high quality posts and getting merited by other users. This means that if you are a spammer, you won't get any and will be stuck in your current rank.

The price of a single bitcoin surged to more than $17,000 in early December, and (for now) it is still going up. But cryptocurrency isn't quite like other assets, and Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are surprisingly easy to steal. They're also not always easy to protect.

A “wallet” is basically the Bitcoin equivalent of a bank account. It allows you to receive bitcoins, store them, and then send them to others. There are two main types of wallets. A hot wallet is one that you install on your own computer or mobile device. You are in complete control over the security of your coins, but since they are on a device that is connected to the internet they are less secure. The second type of wallet is a hardware wallet. They maintain high levels of security to protect your coins by storing your coins offline. Offline storage keeps your coins and ata out of reach from hackers.

It seems that nearly every day there’s another report of a major hacking. And as the number of hacks increase, consumer desires for security increase as well. Blockchain is the model of internet security, that doesn’t produce a fully secure system for users. There are a number of important safety and security practices that can help to protect your private keys and therefore protect your funds.
first it is wise to find a wallet with security measures beyond the normal wallet providers. Some wallets are now using encryption to protect the private keys. Users should always have at least two digital wallets. One wallet should be used for trading and transactional purposes, and the other wallet should be used to store savings and be kept in a secure location. This type of wallet must be a cold storage wallet. In anyway, a backup of the private keys have to be stored safely offline. This two safety tips can help you to avoid hacking your wallet.

Some people don`t have enough knowledge when talking about bitcoin, they see bitcoin as an online game because they know that the value of bitcoin may goes down or goes up.Those sudden ups and downs would be bad news for them. Although bitcoin had a more than 100% return on investment in 2016, it’s also five times more volatile than the S&P 500, So for them bitcoin is an “an extremely risky investment.” they are fear that they cant get a big payday that they were hoping for.

13148  Economy / Services / Re: What is the future of Facebook campaigns? on: January 31, 2018, 06:57:04 AM
But anyone knows what is the reason of banning crypto currency ads from facebook?Because I remember an article by the owner of facebook few weeks before said that they are going to create a new crypto currency for facebook.
They don't want their platform to get filled with all the new scam ICO's that are launching everyday. There is a big difference between having interest in the technology and supporting shady cryptocurrencies and projects.

Quote
“Facebook is banning all ads that promote cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, in an effort to prevent people from advertising what the company is calling 'financial products and services frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.

13149  Economy / Services / Re: What is the future of Facebook campaigns? on: January 31, 2018, 05:26:07 AM
AFAIK Facebook is only banning paid ads promoting cryptocurrencies, and not posts made by their users. So you can't pay Facebook to display those "promoted" ads about ICO or cryptocurrencies but still can make posts or share links/posts regarding ICO's and cryptocurrencies (which is what most campaigns do - e.g: share this post/make a post promoting MyShitICO.com and get 10 tokens).

Btw, this shouldn't be in the Services board.

13153  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How does crypto exchange handles instant transfer of crypto between buyer/ selle on: January 31, 2018, 12:39:47 AM
Given all the preset block time, could some one kindly advise how crypto exchanges go about handling the instant transfer of crypto pair between buyers and sellers? Do the trades and the change in cryptos as a result of the trades just resides on database server within the centralize exchanges?
This one should be pretty obvious. Those are off-chain transactions like johnn said above. You deposit your coins into the exchange and they set your account balance (in the database) to the equivalent amount. When you sell your coins, there is no on-chain transaction. They simple change a few values in their database (-BTC balance and +USD balance).

How does exchange go about handling withdraw from clients? Do they have hot wallet to keep a float to allow for instant withdrawal when requested? If that's the case, how can they ensure they don't over/underestimate the required float?
Usually they have a small amount in their hot wallet so they can handle daily withdrawals and the majority of the funds in a cold wallet. If they need more, they can simple fund more coins in the hot wallet.

E.g: Poloniex keeps over 90 of its customers funds in cold storage[1]

I'm 100% certain it isn't electrum as it's from 2011 and electrum didn't come until about 2015...

It has to be bitcoin core, I don't think there were many other clients at this point...
That's not true. Electrum was created in 2011.

13155  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Better fee estimation needed on: January 30, 2018, 07:15:48 AM
I just opened my Electrum wallet and they are suggesting me a fee of 5 sat/byte for a confirmation within 25 blocks. A few seconds later, I open it again and the suggested fee goes up to 140 sat/byte (within 25 blocks). Why does this happens?

Edit: Looks like some Electrum servers are suggesting 140 sat/byte and others 5 sat/byte. Why is this server based? And why is the difference so big?

IMO they should do something similar to what Coinb.in does here[1] (1 sat/byte right now). So far fees have been pretty accurate and cheap if compared to other softwares like Core and Electrum.

Just some similar buy thread i would recommend you to read

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2651524.0


Buying Ledger from third party is not safe at all
Isn't Ledger safe against tampering?

That's what I found on Ledger's website[1]: "There is absolutely no way that an attacker could replace the firmware and make it pass attestation, without knowing the Ledger private key."

About the post linked above, I see that there was nothing wrong with the Nano S device bought from the third-party. The only issue was that the user used a pre-generated seed that came with the device to restore a compromised wallet. It's like creating a website that provides real binaries from the Electrum website but with this kind of warning: "When creating your wallet, select 'I already have a seed' and write '<insert hacker seed here>' to generate a safe wallet".

The problem will be the same in the local sections, with less trafic, so less merit points circulating (we are curretly talking about that in the french section).
Give it some time until theymos add more merit sources. I know that there will be some in the local boards.

In this case only your recovery phrase can help you, try to go here https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/help and use the forgot password but I'm afraid if it will work since you have 17 word seed instead of 12.

Read the OP.

1. The page you linked only works with a 12 words backup. He said that he has 17 words, so he *probably* needs to use the page I linked above.
2. He already has his password and that's not the issue...?

I have wallet identifier, password and 17 words passphrase ...
13160  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Forgot my blockchain email address on: January 30, 2018, 01:46:13 AM
Do you have a 'wallet.aes.json' file?

IIRC the 17 word backup from Blockchain.info is only useful if you want recover your wallet password in this[1] page. Can you verify?

If that's true, I believe that your only option is trying to reset the 2FA by going to the login page -> "More options" -> "I've lost my 2FA device"[2] as explained here[3].
