141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need help immidiately, bitcoincash got sent to wrong address (STILL UNCONFIRMED) on: November 15, 2017, 11:22:09 PM
Hey gyuys i know this is a rush but im on 12/20 confirmations nd need to solve this now. Is there anyway i can double spend my bitcoincash transaction with a higher fee and how!


this is the transaction:

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/560d47d646b1474d9d98b392864a68bda9519ce257682d8c145a20a1c2f3a0ba

That'd only be possible if the transaction is unconfirmed. And unconfirmed means it has 0 confirmations.
When you posted the topic the transaction had 12 confirmations already. There's nothing you can do.

Once any transaction gets even 1 confirmation, it can't be reverted, double-spent or anything.
Well we learn from our mistakes but I can say that this a costly way to learn.
142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold , A scam ? Please Help on: November 15, 2017, 11:18:03 PM
Thanks for the info, exactly i bought around 50 btgs at price of 400. I had put my all savings thinking i can build good money for future.

But right now, i m so much worried seeing it dumping like anything. Posts on twitter about scam from btg teams in different ways.

Who in the world does what you just did ? Why would you buy a coin that you're not even sure about yet ? And to make it worse you decided to put in all your savings in that single coin that you have no idea about ? $20,000 mate ? That's literally crazy.

Well, you should've read here and there before attempting to make such an investment.
After any hard fork, people tend to sell their coins all at once as they just go them for free and they wan't to benefit from it at the best price. That's why you can find almost the exact scenario in Bitcoin Cash.

But the fact whether a certain coin is going to have a future or is just going to keep going down till it dies like any erc-20 token depends on whether or not the coin has a community that supports it.

And it looks like the premine that BTG devs announced hurt their reputation a lot and I'm not sure if the coin will recover any time soon.
Why didn't you invest in bitcoins ? The price at that time was about $6800. You know that it is easy for it return to 7k+.
That $20k could've been $21.5k by today's price only which is actually going to go up more.

I really don't know what you should do, you're in such a complicated situation. Selling at today's price is not a good idea either as those 50 coins won't get you more than 8k ouch !

I'd suggest you totally forget about the coins for now until it gets pumped and sell at that time. Sorry for your loss mate.
143  Economy / Speculation / Re: When bitcoin will drop? on: November 15, 2017, 11:02:31 PM
I missed at $ 5800 12 November ago. I think right now bitcoin prices are stable just like before the fork, urghh  Angry Angry. My question is, it is possible to drop again? And when? I feel so disappointed to not buy at $5800 rate.

Not any time soon actually.
My speculation is that the price will continue to go up throughout November until it gets to the $8k range. But we might actually face a few drops in the price upto about $6500 and that would be your last chance to get into the game.

Buying when it's above 7k would actually be considered a bit risky for you since you hesitate a lot. If you actually wanted to buy bitcoins for a while now, and you see the price drop to less than 6k (keeping in mind that it's been higher than that for the past few weeks) why didn't you buy at once ?

It will drop soon so until that happens, check out some altcoins. A lot of them are doing very well but you will see them drop as well since people will be interested in buying more and more btc and selling their alts.

So I'd say invest in alts till BTC drops and at that time alts will increase in value so you sell and buy btc. In this way you double profit in the same amount of time.
144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: UK threatens to shut down BitConnect on: November 15, 2017, 10:48:48 PM
Bitconnect isn't a ponzi scheme ? Oh yes it is and it's because we don't even know who are behind it and ....
How is it that we now know who is behind the company and the UK is trying to shut it down ? A bit weird.

Well I call it out as a scam as I see a lot of weird and strange changes that happen in its price and market cap that don't add up and they don't even seem to care to justify it.

I still can't understand what the UK can do. Shut down the office ? Arrest the guy ? Then what ? It will still exist and will still be under the control of someone else.

I've just checked the file you posted : https://goo.gl/Bxoq5J
I can't get what is meant by "unless cause is shown to contrary" Huh What cause and what is actually the legal charges thrown at them ?
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn't mining profitable now with increase in bitcoin price? on: November 15, 2017, 11:23:12 AM
This means that you're unaware of the factors on which bitcoin mining depends.
One of the most important factors in mining any cryptocurrency is the difficulty of the coin. The difficulty is basically as it sounds, the difficulty of a miner to find a block hence, get rewards.

As more and more miners join and start mining, the difficulty goes up. If you looked at the charts of bitcoin difficulty at the beginning of the year (in about January) you'll find that it was about 1/3 of what it is now.

Yes the profitability has gone up but still electricity is a major factor that no one would ever neglect. A single antminer s9 takes up no less than a $100 per month in electricity if you have a 0.1 kw/hr price.

150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sent bitcoin 4hrs ago still 0 confirmations on: November 12, 2017, 12:43:13 PM
No, the transaction volume is very modest, lower than usual.

Are you from another parallel universe or something ??
The mempool normally has less than 25k unconfirmed transactions at the normal times.

Right now there's more than 166k unconfirmed transactions with a crazy rate of 14.35 transactions per second !!!!!1
It's usually doesn't even reach 8/s.

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

This takes us back exactly to when the conversations about applying segwit2. What did they do back then force it ? Scam and jam the bitcoin network so hard in order to show that it sucks right now and needs to be changed.

When they got what they want, they stopped their attacks. But now after the fork got cancelled, they're doing everything in their power to prove it one more time to the public.

This is totally clear. And don't come and tell me that there's no such thing as attacks or whatever. The fees have been so stable through the past months AND that is when the price was soaring so hard with a lot of people interested in bitcoins.

Don't tell me that somehow magically a few days after the fork is cancelled and the price went down, more transactions occur ? Doesn't make much sense.

154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best Online Wallet thus far on: November 10, 2017, 12:42:39 AM
There is a lot of web wallets out there which make it easy for newbies to send and receive bitcoins.
But this doesn't mean that they're the best or the only options out there.

Actually I'm one of the people who always recommends not using an online web wallet. This is because most of them (like blockchain.info, xapo, coinbase or whatever) don't give you the ability to export your private keys. This might not sound dangerous or an issue to you but.

Not having the private keys to the addresses that have the coins means that you're totally dependent on that service making it feel like just normal paypal or skrill. So if the website or the service itself gets shut down or ddosed, you can't do anything.

The best option would be using a wallet like electrum. Export  the private keys, print them out and keep them somewhere safe. And if you want a wallet on your phone then you can add that address to wallets like blockchain but in this case even if the service goes down, you still have access to your coins from any wallet.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What minimum fan speed do you set your GPU rigs to? on: November 10, 2017, 12:06:30 AM
I can only speak for nvidia cards as I own gtx 1060 cards only.
Usually the temp range is from 62 to about 67 with the fans ranging from almost about the same range.

Well, setting up a fixed value for fan speed isn't actually the best idea as they might be running for at an extra speed uselessly.
The best thing would be using a custom curve for the fan speed as that in MSI afterburner.

Since some cards are bad in terms of cooling, the curves differ from one card to another as well (so the sync settings across cards settings is unchecked.)

I guess running the fans at high speeds would only matter with the fans themselves and nothing more.
156  Economy / Speculation / Re: why BTC price could still hold after the Segwit2x cancellation? on: November 08, 2017, 11:35:50 PM
I don't think the price increase in the past few days had anything to do with the fork that was going to happen with the Segwit2x plan.
Well at least this is my own opinion. And I base it on the amount of attention that was given into it before it happened.

It was already less than a week left until the fork was supposed to happen but you couldn't find really enough people who were asking about it. I'm comparing it to the previous BTG fork (which we still have no idea if it's ever gonna go live but it doesn't matter since it's a big joke/scam anyway).

There was actually a lot of people who were planning to sell just before the segwit fork happens as they were afraid that the price drops by a lot. Since it got cancelled and the price is already going pretty solid, there's nothing that makes them sell.

In fact, people the altcoin market is starting to get back into the game as well which I actually have no reason for and can't justify. How is it that there are no major sales of btc BUT growth in altcoins ? New entrance ? I have no idea.

 
157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit2x is DEAD! Now Core can go full steam ahead: GO GO GO! on: November 08, 2017, 11:24:50 PM
Looking forward to what Core delivers next in the short term and over the next year to make off chain scaling a reality.
OtisG

Now that's some good news that I'd love to hear and confirm.
As I said a few days ago, I've always been in favor of applying segwit as a whole to the bitcoin network as it was only supposed to get us better. I'm talking about a faster network with lower transaction fees.

But at that time it never came across my mind that it might come as a hard fork. And when I realized it, it really upset me. I wanted it be as an "upgrade" to bitcoin itself or as they call it a "soft" fork. Other than that wouldn't really be good.

Since, a lot of people are in favor of it, a lot would've actually invested in it and left btc behind. Which means they'd clearly be doing damage to btc itself and I think the idea from the beginning was to improve.

Although scaling is an issue, but this wasn't the right suggestion as a solution to it in the first place.
158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where to invest bitcoin? on: November 07, 2017, 11:13:59 PM
I see a lot of websites which offering double your bitcoins (lol) and games like farms (but when you try to search about it you see - its scam, doesnt matter that website looks really nice and professional) so Im looking for some really trustfull website to invest if there is something like this? However farm idea sounds nice, but is there any really paying farm game?

Every single thing that you mentioned in the post is exactly the things that you have to stay away from. You should never believe in any of that. Do you seriously think, someone will give you some coins for free just for sending him the money for some time ? Is this logically acceptable by you ? Of course not.

You're exactly the type of person who scammers are looking for. They're looking for someone with some money with him and who is desperately trying to make them increase in any possible way. So they deceive you by creating some fancy-looking websites and tell you some lies that you believe.

This is all plain greed. Don't be greedy and earn money the right way.
You can earn just by investing in bitcoins and altcoins themselves. The markets go up and down every now and then. So that's a thing you might want to try and learn more about. But again be careful as some people will drag you into buying useless coins so that they can sell theirs.

Simply educate yourself before doing anything and no there is no "easy" way of getting more money. Try trading but there's risk. If you don't want to do anything considered "tiring" just leave them as btc and sell them when you think they're  high enough.
159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin Can I mine with normal laptop on: November 07, 2017, 10:50:38 PM
Mining is the hard work done by cpus or gpu cards that powers the blockchain network of multiple crypto currencies such as Ethereum and Zcash.

Your laptop wasn't designed for this kind of load as the mining process uses up almost all of the power of the cards. You will only damage it by doing so as they will just get overheated and they don't have proper cooling systems into them as they weren't thought to be used in such situations in the first place.

I can see a few users suggest using your cpu to mine XMR and I can tell you not to do so as well. You'll wear out your cpu for nothing. You won't actually make anything useful out of it. The best you'd actually hope for is get a few dollars a month. And of course if you're gonna run it just for mining, you're wasting energy and ruining the device.

If you want to get into mining try buying a few gpu cards and building a dedicated mining rig. Just look it up and check if you're ready for such investment.
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitconnect on: November 07, 2017, 10:40:32 PM
Is there a reason i don't find any topics about this coin?  This coin has soared very high yet there is almost no talk about it.

Well by the time you wrote this question, you should've guessed it yourself.
Yes it's a scam coin with nothing interesting in it at all. And that's actually not only my own opinion on here. Just try searching the forum for this coin and you'll see each and everyone explaining how it's a scam.

A lot of the members of the forum trade in cryptocurrencies and try to snatch every opportunity to make money out of coins. Don't you expect to find millions and millions of threads about if it was legit ?

I mean it went up from $212 on October 29 to $284 on November 3. That's a 34% increase in less than 5 days.
Clearly it's something that you don't want to put your money in.

Besides, there's something that caught my attention in the price charts.
Look at the market cap ! It went down by $1,500,000,000 in a fraction of a second and nothing happened ?
Like what in the world is going on with this thing ?



Get me out of here.
