17881  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: May 09, 2017, 03:49:05 PM
I dont know if I am the only one facing this problem, but since days I am unable to download the latest 1.8.2 from https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases/download/v1.8.2/Byteball-win64.exe which seems to be stored on the amazon aws s3 servers.

It get stucked after a few MB downloading, first download rate is dropping till zero > then download is canceled.

I tried it from several devices using different browsers yet, is there any other mirror?

Hi there! I faced the exact same problem but only with the latest version. I was successful on perhaps the 4th or 5th attempt, but I can only surmise it's just the hosting servers that were probably accessed by all the other users upgrading wallets - I tried perhaps in the first hour after the post informing was released. So basically, just keep trying!

I booked in a portion of my coin at localbitcoins today. Roughly calculated to be the amount of crypto I would need to recoup 33% of my time/effort investment... so am quite glad I did it. Maybe it'll hit 2,000 soon but I'd rather take some fiat in now to hedge against potential dips.
17883  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think DOGECOIN is the future of Altcoins ? on: May 09, 2017, 07:40:52 AM
DOGE may not be the "future" of altcoins - it has certainly cemented itself in crypto history and has served a continued purpose as a gateway alt, introducing many people to crypto. The community is seeing a revival also, with the current 3 developers taking a real renewed interest. So it's not the future, but it still has a strong say, and all the better for that.

Does anyone know precisely how you might claim the rewards for running a TOR node? And I mean the browser, of course. I see it being mentioned in the ANN and several queries relating to it, but how might one specifically claim this reward?
17885  Economy / Speculation / Re: ALTS vs BTC on: May 08, 2017, 05:08:04 PM

To be honest I am sick of every other alt that is similar to btc nothing special. It would be much better to look to use them than just to pump them and turn money around. Money can't buy you happiness. But I also happen to know that btc and alts are just 70% speculation with an investors folding in the market. But much better is to be able to use them, I think that this is what btc have the most - usability over other alts.

I do get what you're feeling and I must admit my early weeks into this forum also gave me that same hopeless feeling about alts. I'm glad I stuck around a little longer and took interest in some of the older ones (my very own special Big Four). I haven't had any practical use in terms of their individual techs for the ones I've kept small holding of except very recently when trying out some of the features of Byteball (using a simple contract to eliminate need for escrow). I know it's not unique to it but had I not used it, I would never have had a chance to try.

Don't give up hope for tech, you'll be in for pleasant surprises!

Without commenting on the logic or rationale of your intent, the best advice we could possibly give you is to download and install each of those coin's individual wallets, make sure they each fully sync and you have the private keys to them.

Then withdraw all your coins. Backup each wallet and keep your private keys.

You're talking 2 months to 2 years, so paper wallets are probably better if you're buying significant amounts. Otherwise, I think desktop wallets you have control over are good enough
17887  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Gravura: Crypto-night club all around the world (Indiegogo) on: May 07, 2017, 03:33:40 PM
Sounds like a novel concept - you might even get guest stars from the large existing crypto youtubers.

The only question I have here is... why would you need backing or crowdfunding? The club and DJs already exist. Just provide your wallets addresses and start accepting payments!
17888  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ViaBTC: Should we active Segwit? on: May 07, 2017, 10:30:34 AM
I'm actually really surprised to see this poll coming from Via, given their seemingly unshakeable stance, but I think it's a really good sign that either side of the argument can still change their mind based on pragmatic reassessments of the situation. My vote is yes, of course! Whatever decision Via takes, well done.
17889  Economy / Economics / Re: If you were in desperate need for money.... on: May 07, 2017, 05:21:05 AM
I can understand a huge gamble (borrow money, double or nothing) if you're in a life and death desperate situation but I've another idea: hire out your body for a signature campaign. I believe tattoos have been done in the past. Maybe a crypto-inspired body signature camp.

All bad ideas are still good publicity.
17890  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: StakeKing - King of pure Proof-of-Stake coins - Crowdsale live on: May 07, 2017, 04:11:25 AM
Question, OP.

The entire premise of Stakeking lies in the percentage derived from Fibonnaci deemed to be most attractive for staking. But you haven't solved the second of the main problem you yourself identify at the beginning: dumpers.

At 68% staking per month, we're talking about very short-term profit taking. One massive dump will trigger others.

Any comment?
17891  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Poll] How can we rescue Bitcoin from the hand of BlockStream? on: May 06, 2017, 03:35:13 PM
What if without the powers that be: core, Bitmain, Blockstream, BU, other economic interests, and random walk, that Bitcoin was 10 cents and quarter filled blocks.

Would you crucify one or more from the list above?

Even with all these self interested parties we have hit the infinitesimally impossible in 8 years.
The only thing broken at the moment seems to be ever increasing size of mempool and fees per byte.
I don't think a single actor should be blamed for that situation.

Eventually self interest will force them to band together. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". The new enemy being the potential decline of Bitcoin, and/or rise of one or more altcoins, or regulation.

Until this plays out, I would suggest a public service announcement not to transact less than two lattes value as it is currently a proven fact that we avg 2500 transactions per 10min block. It's better served at the moment to let larger transactions get confirmation until consensus can be reached.

When proven to have enough capacity to transact in lattes, that's when people should do so.

Definitely one of the more objective opinions. I doubt your recommended PSA would have any effect, although I believe a lot of people are already limiting txs. I now lump payments together or just hold off until I really need it in my wallet (then again, maybe it is riskier behaviour leaving things in site wallets).
17892  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: LocalBitcoins BTC sellers being taken to court and pleading guilty on: May 06, 2017, 07:19:56 AM
Pretty typical of enforcement to go for the street-level transactors. If they really wanted to do the right thing, then get localbitcoin in US to require some form of KYC or tax diligence on US users. This only pushes away the real "bad guys", making it harder for them to be ferreted out.
17893  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BRO] [WEBRADIO] 😍 BITRAD.IO 😍 - Stream diffrent - Webradio - ICO soon on: May 05, 2017, 09:12:25 PM
Thanks for the update, dev, we're all happy to see this project progress nicely. Might I recommend that some items on the website be updated so as not to mislead newcomers and minimise the sort of questions we're seeing on this thread?

Such as:
1. Hourly payouts. This doesn't seem to be true... it happens hourly sometimes and sometimes not.
2. 120 BRO per hour, also inaccurate as your latest post says it is 8 BRO (currently boosted to 60).
17894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING:network under Massive spam attack. on: May 05, 2017, 08:30:24 PM

https://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/memory-pool
play with the dates on top right corner of the screen to look at a longer term.

blockchain.info also has lots of charts too:
count (number of transactions): https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count
size of the mempool: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-growth
aggregate size: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size

Thank you for this! The statoshi link is new to me. The graphs above confirm it I guess. This is the highest its ever been. 130k unconfirmed? I can definitely see fees just pumping now, esp as BTC price is stubbornly above $1,500.
17895  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING:network under Massive spam attack. on: May 05, 2017, 04:12:38 PM
I suspect you're right.

Right now, there are over 102 thousand unconfirmed transactions! The highest I've ever seen or even heard of!

Looks to be climbing slowly too... does anyone happen to know where I might find records of the highest unconfirmed txs are?
17896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: $0.85 transaction fee is absolutely ridiculous! on: May 05, 2017, 01:39:13 PM
http://coincap.io/
Average Fee
$1.61
https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx
The current best transaction fees 199 Satoshis/byte | 0.00199 BTC/KB
0.00199 = 3.19 USD
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
Which fee should I use?
The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 200 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 45,200 satoshis (0.75 USD).
Where did you get the "because fees are still $0.4-$0.5"?

the numbers you are quoting are fee per byte not fee.

if you don't do Address reuse and don't receive a lot of dust inputs from things like faucets and microjobs then your wallets stays clean of dust and when you want to spend bitcoin your transaction size will be about 220 byte (give or take). and with a 199 Satoshis/byte fee your total fee would be 43780 satoshi and that is $0.7 with the current $1600 (my calculation was with a lower bitcoin price because I forgot to check the current price of today! and $1600 was reached today)

in any case it is still not $0.85 and not $1 and not $1.61 or $3.19

Yeah, you both have a point, but should be aware everyone makes different types and sizes of txs. Personally, no spend I've ever made has had more than 40 satoshi per byte, but I do recall paying a 100k+ satoshi fee once for an unfortunately bloated tx. Price was just over $1,000 at the time so I paid over a dollar.

That been said, the majority of bitcoin I received especially in 2017 has had a fee well over 120 satoshi per byte with actual fee as high as 2 dollars at today's rates. In fact, if my withdrawals are part of batch txs I've easily seen 4 or 5 dollars fees. One particular site I withdraw a lot from spent over 1 BTC a day in fees alone, performing only batch txs.

Been interested in this thread ever since its launch, and like others I wondered if the fee to join was too insignificant. However, we have yet to see how much volume this group can generate with consistent trading. I'll have to reassess after the first pump and see how that goes.
17898  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: AliasCoin Proposal: How To Send Money To "Satoshi" Instead of "1TE6a7tvT..." on: May 04, 2017, 01:14:39 PM
Yeah, how many stories have we heard about mistaken addresses. I've only done it once, thankfully only because I right-clicked and copied an address just below the intended one in my Electrum wallet list, so I still received it, just not in the address I intended. A solution like this might make that mistake easier to avoid.
17899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transaction does not exists on: May 04, 2017, 06:16:08 AM
I've seen this problem before in at least two other threads and if I recall, there were these explanations offered:

1. Your tx fee "contains dust"... I couldn't confirm this as your tx also does not appear on blocktrail.
2. Your tx is from another unconfirmed tx, in which case you have to wait for the former one to confirm before this one can.
3. Your tx needs to be rebroadcasted. Just leave your wallet open to do this.

That's all I can remember.

Hey thanks guys for the helpful information. I think this issue's more or less fixed for me and I'll know better what to do if it happens again.

P.S. Hey OP, you really should give a little bit of your time here, a post a week even for a tiny update's not too much to ask for, I hope?
