LOL banks are closed for 4 days, people cant wire money to buy the dip....well played Cool

That only leaves Jimbo Toronto's favored buying option of stuffing cash into Bitcoin ATMs, and they will probably soon be too full of cash to accept any more.

Well, Winter Solstice totally sucked this year. Time for me to hit the sack. Hope when I check my cell phone at about 6:00 am, things look a little better. Cry

Nope, no better.  Undecided

I know some traders use full moons to predict price movements. Maybe they should be using Winter Solstices instead.
1804  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Address gap on: December 06, 2017, 06:05:00 PM
I know the normal user's wallet can start to slow down if you set the gap limit to an excessively high number of addresses. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly how high you have to raise the gap limit before it starts slowing down, and I don't know if the electrum server wallet handles a higher gap better.

Try testing your wallet by increasing the gap limit to 100, then repeatedly doubling it until the wallet starts to slow down. The hardware your operating system runs on probably has a big effect, so your wallet might start to struggle at a different gap limit to another person's wallet running on different hardware.

Please state opinion and reasoning .

It seems too soon, but anything is possible. I’m no expert on charts, so my opinion is not a professional opinion, but Bitcoin has had such massive gains this year that I would lean toward a more conservative growth for a while. A price of $10,000 is 20% higher than the current price. It seems unlikely for Bitcoin to gain another 20% in value in 2 months. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is currently having issues with high fees and slow transactions.

Well it's two weeks later and Bitcoin's been above $12000 for most of today on bitstamp. I'm shocked at how fast the price keeps rising. I thought $10k was possible before the end of the year, but I never expected $12k in early December.

...I dont have a referral code to f2pool. The others dont seem to work with non-standard txs.




Try contacting quickseller or macbook-air and offering to pay a small fee to confirm your non-standard tx. They both have access to f2pool (macbook-air runs it).


You can contact either quickseller or macbook-air and offer a small payment to get your transaction confirmed fast.

This quote gives an example of how much they charge...

I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

It's been having issues with high fees and slow transactions for a long time, but despite that the price keeps rising. The highest fess and slowest transactions usually occur when the price is pumping. A further 20% rise isn't much considering it was priced at $700 a year ago. It's quite likely to get to $10000 before the end of the year, although nothing's definite.

1808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: My friend have a broken laptop with 200 BTC in offline wallet. on: October 29, 2017, 10:28:25 PM
Remove the hdd and plug it in a different computer. You could then use recuva to look for wallet.dat. But since this is such a large amount, I'd suggest taking it to a professional recovery service. They will ask for a decent amount of money, but there's a decent probability that you'll be able to recover the wallet. Good luck.

When you remove a hard drive from a laptop there's a low risk that static electricity from your body could damage it. Using a wrist band like this one from ebay can eliminate that risk. You wrap the strap around your wrist and clip it to a grounded source (like a copper water pipe).

The OP could put his old laptop's hard drive into an enclosure like this one from ebay to test if it still works.

On Oct. 28 ZB.com, which is a new cryptocurrency trading platform, announced that all trading functionality will be available from Nov. 1. Users can sign up for accounts and deposit now.

...Maybe the platform will be closed by the government soon. Nevertheless, there are also people saying that the Chinese government is behind the


I doubt it's a Chinese based exchange. The domain name ZB.com was anonymously registered through godaddy by DomainsByProxy.com.

https://uk.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=zb.com

If it was Chinese registered it would be registered through a Chinese domain name service. Godaddy is USA based.

However comparitech says that domain can be accessed in China, so the Chinese won't need to use a VPN to access it.

1810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: The Electrum website was hacked in Jul 31 on: August 03, 2017, 05:29:24 PM
Nobody mentioned it because that's the Electrum version for Litecoin.
Electrum for BTC and Electrum for LTC (this one you are talking about) are developed by different teams. This wallet is a forked version of Electrum (BTC) wallet which works for Litecoin. Nothing to worry about if you use Electrum for Bitcoin.

Well, I just realized I made the mistake of thinking this was related to BTC. It is indeed the LTC wallet which I assume is just an Electrum fork for LTC...
.

Please change this thread's title to say "The Electrum-LTC website was hacked in Jul 31" instead of "The Electrum website was hacked in Jul 31".

The current title is misleading, and will make electrum for Bitcoin users unnecessarily panic. Please make it clear it was the litecoin version that was compromised.

poloniex Works well

The picture is fabricated

Yes poloniex seems to be back online for now, although its twitter hasn't explained the reason for the downtime yet.

That picture is photoshoped.
1812  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bittrex not available ? on: August 02, 2017, 08:50:31 PM
Bittrex lowered the withdrawal limits?

How many bitcoin allowed per 24 hours?
 

It depends on when you created your account, what level of verification it has, if it uses 2FA, and if the password's been changed in the last 24 hours.

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/231701788

Quote
Withdraw Limits

If your password has been changed, you cannot make a withdrawal for 24 hours

If your account does not have 2FA, you are limited to withdrawing up to 1 BTC (or equivalent) per day

If you have an account created after October 30th, 2016, your withdrawal limits are:

Unverified Accounts created before 08/01/17: 0.025 BTC (or equivalent) per day
Unverified Accounts created on or after 08/01/17: 0 BTC (or equivalent) per day
Basic Accounts: 3 BTC (or equivalent) per day with two-factor enabled.
Enhanced Accounts: 100 (or equivalent) BTC per day with two-factor enabled

The most important thing is Bitcoin's price is nicely stable. I expected massive volatility with all the fork panic, but it's been fairly flat for the last five days.
1814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BITCOIN TRANSACTION HELP PLEASE on: July 25, 2017, 10:09:04 PM
My bitcoin transaction after 6 hours has 0 confirmations. Could someone help me pleas what to do and why is it like that. Thanks
My wallet is 12GdPDDq5E9DA6LYBPvNb1bwN889rCxcpL

Your transaction's confirmed with four confirmations now.

https://blockchain.info/tx/b907a44e238aba2b540a4d3821be808cee27251e611cc9784bc366cdde8f0bdf

If you want to be sure of fast confirmations for future transactions check this website beforehand.

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

If you scroll to the middle of the page it will show the best fee to pay in bold . At the moment it recommends paying 260 satoshis/byte for fast confirmation, whereas your transaction only pays 200 satoshis/byte.

If you didn't save your GA secret key you can use the linked guide to get control of your wallet back. All you need is your seed as it contains two master private keys.

1816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: First time installing bitcoin core...any idea on how long it will take to sync? on: July 23, 2017, 10:31:50 PM
The first few years of blocks should sync quite fast because they were mostly empty. However the sync speed should drastically slow down while syncing the following years because most of those blocks contain transactions.
1817  Economy / Speculation / Re: alphabay taken down how will it effect price of bitcoin on: July 23, 2017, 09:40:49 PM
Nothing much is going to happen...that's my guess.   FBI will end up with the illicit proceeds and will sell them somehow,  but that shouldn't affect the price.

Do you have any idea how many coins the FBI seized? If it was a massive amount I'm sure there would have been more publicity about it. I haven't yet found a single article about it that gives an estimated number. Unless it's some massive amount I doubt it will affect the price, and the articles I read said at least one of the guys running it bought lambos and mansions. It doesn't sound like he was HODLing.
1818  Economy / Speculation / Re: When $10k? on: July 23, 2017, 01:35:24 AM
Maybe after the increase in block size to 2MB towards the end of the year, or maybe sooner than that if things stay bullish. Four digit coins might become history soon, and in a few years become as unattainable as double digit coins are today. Hopefully in a few years people will be making threads entitled "when $100k".
1819  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best way of exchanging btc to fiat on: July 23, 2017, 01:23:11 AM
i think bitfinex is the best, you can try this exchange, this exchange is very good and big volume

To the best of my knowledge it's almost impossible to withdraw fiat from bitfinex at the moment. There are USA based banks that act as intermediaries for wire transfers who are blocking withdrawals from bitfinex. There hasn't been any update from bitfinex about the problem in over two months so I assume fiat withdrawals are still unavailable to most customers.

As noted in our prior announcement, US correspondent banks continue to block international wires. USD, however, continues to flow domestically in Taiwan and other channels have been slowly ramping up as evidenced by the price spreads narrowing between Bitfinex and other exchanges. Unfortunately, the solutions available to us at the moment are limited to specific customer profiles in certain jurisdictions, though we are working tirelessly to expand our portfolio of deposit and withdrawal options (including support for other fiat currencies) to meet the needs of our global customer base. If and when a customer qualifies for one of these channels, we will reach out to the customer. There is no need to inquire by means of a support ticket.

We have, however, moved the majority of our funds out of Taiwan and the “one-time” withdrawal solution discussed in the prior announcement is coming online. Unfortunately, due to the cumbersome nature of the settlement procedure, we are processing these requests in descending order of size as we learn how to handle the process more efficiently. For the time being, we will only process requests above $50,000 in size.
1820  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ** BITTREX isn't upfront about their scam tactics ** on: July 22, 2017, 11:45:52 PM
Did you access bittrex through a VPN or a regular internet connection? If you used a VPN bittrex most likely detected it and wants proof of who you are because it can't do business with certain countries blacklisted by the US government.
