I do not see ETH on Cryptopia ?

I stupidly transferred a few XVG's from an exchange to an Electrum 2.4.1 address.
Look like this version of Electrum no longer connects to the server it has set (stays offline).

Is the latest 3.0.6 compatible with those old transactions address or is this transaction lost?

Thanks,

SB

Yes You risk for chargeback, At moment I can send only as for service&good and for 0.02128BTC

Does anyone have the update on what each level can wear on their signature?

Thank you!

Perhaps the allowed signature styling should change with activity score / membergroup. Like:
- Newbie: No styling (including links) allowed. Max 40 characters.
- Jr. Member: Links allowed. Max 100 characters.
- Member: Unlimited length.
- Full: Color allowed.
- Sr. Member: Size allowed
- Hero: Background color allowed

Then newbies will be less effective advertisers, which would hopefully significantly reduce the incentive for low-content posts. And when people become capable of effectively advertising through their signatures, they'll have invested a lot of time into their accounts, and they won't risk being banned by spamming.

Thanks for your reply. By "vendor lock-in" I mean that I cannot export my private keys out of any hardware wallet.

Yes, I am paranoid. I sign any transaction offline but I still have to trust the software producers. I don't want to trust.

I've got another issue - ordered brand new Ledger Nano S, unpacked it, create new PIN and new seed.
Then I've been trying to initialize Ledger Nano S following these instructions:

BUT I'M UNABLE TO INSTALL Chrome App to Chrome! Because I got error "packet is invalid, manifest file is invalid" - see attachment.


Chrome is up to date, latest version, no extensions (I use Firefox as my main browser).

Thats a new threat level that I havent though of yet. Is that possible? Can you really combine different alphabets in the address bar?
I have never seen a Cyrillic address or any other alphabet except latin letters.
Maybe some other users can give us some more info

URL spoofing is a very, very serious problem. The fact that you can even use other non-latin alphabets such as Cyrillic in URLs, results in ultra-sophisticated scam scenarios that are almost impossible to detect. quote: "It is possible to register domains such as ‘xn--pple-43d.com’, which is equivalent to ‘аpple.com’. It may not be obvious at first glance, but ‘аpple.com’ uses the Cyrillic ‘а’ (U+0430) rather than the ASCII “a” (U+0041)". The technical term for this is Homographic attacks.

Although most major browsers have a way of warning users, it only works if the URL uses a mixture of alphabets.

FYI there is a way to shield yourself somewhat from these attacks.

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/punycode-alert/djghjigfghekidjibckjmhbhhjeomlda

Firefox: Go to about:config and search for punycode, set network.IDN_show_punycode to true

You can use for example this link to check if you are protected: http://www.umeå.se/

On Firefox the address bar will display the punycode, and on Chrome with the plugin it will show an alert on the bottom right corner.
These are what I use, if someone else uses another browser and know other tips, share them!

For some reason I got an email with a different reply from you saying talk to Trusted Coin and see what they say - maybe you wrote an initial post then edited it? I did talk to them and they resent me the QR code which is what I needed - so thank you for your reply even though it's not appearing in this forum.  

Sir you donated 50 bitcoins? i wish i could be like you. sadly i am still struggling to get one Bitcoin so however much id like to donate to Bitcoin talk i am limited.

congrats for your generosity to the community

I probably won't make changes in the near future, but I've been thinking about the captcha issue, and I wonder what people think about reCaptcha.

Where reCaptcha is used now, something is required, and AFAIK all other captcha services can be OCRed and are therefore useless. End-users often like SolveMedia, but those seem really easy to OCR. I actually really like the image classification approach on a theoretical level, though I hate relying on NSA-lite Google, and occasionally on Tor they throw you into some insane black hole of difficulty (though you can change your Tor exit to fix that).

My merit(s) are finished, i gave them all but i want to give more,
I am a quite new member and also new in the crypto world, I am learning a lot from the forum and i would to express "a thanks" to those that they help me with their posts and answers

Is my account going to get more, let's say in a month, like an upgrade or it's one life things?
No more at all ?

sorry if this is already answered but you know we have 157 pages here, there is a way to know the overall unspent Merit here on forum? (maybe only for active member to get a more realisic number)

And why would you put money in there? 90% of all the people in here, even all those newbies who are always posting the same shit knows that bitgrail is a giant shit who is scamming everyone.

You should post bitcointalk by your senior position account.  Also you should added how much money you want to sell this account.

If you really own a senior account, why have you been posting with this newbie account over the past 3 months instead of your sr account?

@mjglqw It's difficult to tell from that article or the reddit report by the user exactly what happened. But yes I agree it is most likely down to the user not knowing what they were doing. That was the point of posting it here really.
