1961  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: September 25, 2021, 02:58:09 AM
I just successfully mixed 1mbtc through chipmixer.
I think the issue is the one I mentioned above.

There has also been discussion on not sending larger amounts through mixers (that might be uncommon) as it makes it easier to trace the steps the coins take.
1962  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: September 24, 2021, 11:56:00 PM

Just submitted a TX a few hours ago and still no chips from chipmixer. Big amount, concerned about an exit scam here. I have emailed support but just want to make other members aware to use this site with caution.

tldr support should get back to you about your email within 4 days, check you've provided something identifiable (eg your deposit address).

There is a bug with the site where it sometimes doesn't credit straight away - I think it has to be manually fixed.

They used to pay around 1.5btc a week on their signature campaign so it'd make little sense for them to exit scam on such an amount.

If the address changed, there's potential you used a scam link too could you go through your browsing history and ensure the site was definitely their official onion/com domain and check you don't have any add ons on your side that have permissions to change what a website displays.

If neither of the two are the case chipmixer are going to be able to see that funds have been left unclaimed from a certain deposit address and will make them available to you. Just wait by as support can sometimes take up to 3-4 days to reply.
1963  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does anyone know of a real-time portfolio tracker app? on: September 24, 2021, 07:36:39 PM
TradingView is real-time but the only problem with their app is it doesn't have a portfolio tracker.


tradingview suggest multicharts it looks like it's paid for but might be something to look into.

The alternative might be implementing something yourself or finding a system that does based off dexes like bisq and uniswap - exchange APIs don't like to work fast.
1964  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers stole my $375,000 worth of NFT on: September 24, 2021, 02:00:54 PM
I'm kinda confused for you loss as that is an expensive lesson to learn, hopefully you didn't spend $375k on them or that wasn't worth that much to you because that seems like a lot to lose to a hacker when $80 could've saved you.

Do you know how the hackers got onto your mac and if they're still there?

That's probably more important than what the actually did if it was private keys they were after and sent you a phishing mail or something.
1965  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The psychology of stoploss on: September 24, 2021, 01:52:21 PM
I've started using alerts instead of a stop loss because people keep mentioning about market manipulation on exchanges and I've been trying to protect myself against that more recently. I'm also one for setting a stop loss that isn't too far away from where the price will rebound up and fulfill my take profit so that's another reason against setting one - though I should probably just set it where I think it's really unlikely to get triggered.
1966  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ransomware and Bitcoin on: September 23, 2021, 07:27:04 PM
I'd have thought that if they could trace the exchange that allowed such a trade then they'd be able to actually track the people who actually did it (in this case the alleged ransomware attacks). If they haven't managed to do that then it could look like an inside job - and the article seems to suggest they helped accept the funds from the victims which would probably deserve sanctioning.

How ridiculous it this ?

Sadly, it's in line with how government agencies work. They restrict the businesses and individuals' rights, while the actual wrongdoers will find their ways to go around these barriers and continue as usual.

Well yeah, criminals will always find a way to do what they want to do - the more restrictions there are the harder it is to do the crime and then catch the people doing it as well... Seems a hard thing to try to balance.
1967  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does the Biance app list your crypto in your portfolio like this? (see pic) on: September 23, 2021, 03:17:16 PM
...where it is "REAL-TIME" (not every minute or second like Blockfolio and the others) similar to how it is in the Markets view?

I think you have to refresh it yourself in binance to get a new quote of what your portfolio is worth. So it won't get you live quotes unless you keep refreshing the page (which will probably make them load it slower).
1968  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Before getting into trading on: September 23, 2021, 12:39:04 PM
As above, but understand not everyone is profitible or designed for handling trading. You're best off trying but with small capital once you think you've found something that works. If you don't have much capital to start with, you can try paper trading instead (where you trade without money to see how well you do - but that has less risk so is quite a bit different from trading).
1969  Economy / Speculation / Re: Today's crypto dip - what does a Chinese real estate corp have to do with it? on: September 22, 2021, 03:35:28 PM
It's probably just fear in the market in general. It normally doesn't make sense to sell something unless you're big enough to manipulate it (someone might have just tried their luck with that)...

I thought evergrande had started some sort of recovery? The initial news was they couldn't pay a bond but they've now found a way to do that.

It might be likely companies just start reissuing bonds too at a lower interest to pay off their old ones ~5-7% is quite high now and they could probably drop to around 3 (or just hope for a government bailout to help them through a few months to see if they can survive).
1970  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Chainalysis runs Electrum nodes. on: September 22, 2021, 02:06:08 PM
But what I noticed is that most bitcoin users like the SPV wallets just because it requires little memory space for download and also work effectively, but it does not guarantee privacy, many people now are even using it directly with their IP address, an easy way to link bitcoin users to their real identity.

Yeah I'm not sure electrum works well for privacy either even if you use tor as you can still end up linking your whole wallet together as one (which might be a problem if you come to use an exchange).

I'd imagine, given the number of servers that are available, electrum and other spv clients will get different upgrades to help combat this issue and increase privacy (such as getting nodes to send the blockchain to clients for analysis or sending individual addresses to different notes to help make things more private - it'd be hard for electrum's team to enforce/and in some cases suggest the use of tor or vpns though).
1971  Economy / Economics / Re: How would the ecosystem change if the fees came back to the user after 1 year? on: September 21, 2021, 01:37:08 PM

How would the economy of a coin would change if instead of sending the transaction fee to be mined, the transaction fee was frozen and 1 year after it it would be sent back to the wallet. The user wont lose that money, but still can't keep making tons and tons of transactions to spam the blockchain.

I think there was a coin that did this already but I'm not sure.

I don't think there's much change though. I could see it being a thing but paying a few cents for a transaction isn't really a problem and fees might be preferable for miners to want to accept as it means they pay less for transactions (than the freezing system) and they get paid from the mining which provides a functional system for the chain to sustain itself after the last block halving.
1972  Economy / Reputation / Re: archive.today / archive.fo / archive.??? being blocked by some ISPs (DNS ISSUE) on: September 20, 2021, 12:42:15 PM
Looks like it's the dot today domain on my end that's the problem.

When I do it with one network, putting in the dot today redirects to dot ph and loads fine. On a different (still secure) network I get "connection interrupted" when trying to dot today domain but not with the dot ph... I'd recommend reporting it to the dns provider and the service (the archive service ought be able to fix it faster).
1973  Economy / Economics / Re: Future economic fear of the rich and poor. on: September 20, 2021, 11:57:22 AM
I think B might be more likely to take an action over their fear but both fears are probably quite equal.

In both cases, you're assuming the two subjects are lonely/with poor company though which is also what I'm basing this off. Surrounding yourself with the right sort of people obviously offers better protection from you losing the essentials of life.

The first persons wealth also depends on how they got it. If it was earnt themselves, they'll be a lot more confident they can earn it again. If it was something they inherited (maybe like real estate) and it's not well diversified then they should probably be quite worried...
1974  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Debian 10 Terminal hell on: September 19, 2021, 05:43:14 PM
Can't remember what I did but I thought you had to run commands to get the console to work? Like these: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cmdline.html

I think you could try adding a help flag along you're command or just on its own to see if it does anything.
1975  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: derivation path Electrum on: September 19, 2021, 05:10:22 PM
I'm not sure it's possible to reproduce electrum wallets out of electrum's software (unless using it for recovery).

If you want to use another wallet with your electrum mnemonic, you might be better off importing the master private key into the other wallet software.
1976  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: September 19, 2021, 12:58:55 PM
Do you have any other recommendations to use instead of Exodus for Exchanges?
Please let's stay on Chipmixer topic here, and I wrote in my previous post that you can use Bisq decentralized exchange as one of the available options.

Just to add that you can use dexes to convert to fiat equivelants too (stablecoins) as there are higher limits for most of them when converting those. It's not a perfect solution but it'll hide some of the trail (I'm not sure how traceable dexes are as quite a few do publish to a blockchain).
1977  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fundamentally good coins on: September 19, 2021, 11:22:09 AM
Which COIN do you think has a long term good fundamental future? Despite the TOP coins, that you think has strong team, model and in long term they will create the value.

I might not give the answer people want but I think nearly every cryptocurrency is a prototype of a better one we'll see at some point. Sure, some currencies might merge into those new all-beating coins but I don't think that's too likely given the reputation of a lot of coins and their teams.
1978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Debunk Thread on: September 18, 2021, 07:32:00 PM

1. Why do the young accept capitalism - I mean older people hold more assets and they're essentially working for/being owned by them so that they can retire and not work. It's like asking why someone would buy 12% of a stock when the 100% holder wants to only sell 12% - it's all theyre being offered and a lot go for it (look at tesla for example).
2. It's about mining being spontaneous and random... Each miner adds difficulty to the network but only one every 10 minutes is able to mine one. Efficiency has been going up as chip size shrinks but I don't think much will change since we're at 7nm now (miners can keep running continuously and remain competitive until they break).
3. I think there's a thing there that two countries are listed. If a country cared so much it might be able to temporarily control the network but do you think it'll last or do you think another country will try to compete against them? Also a country has to be able to produce that many chips in a short enough space of time (which would be difficult). And once they've done that, what's stops the developers just changing algorithm and reaching a new network consensus. It's still hard for an entity to remove blocks even if they have enough power as it takes time and it's almost impossible to delete something in general as well as many people will have copies of the chain - especially blockchain explorers and these will be data that's hard to bruteforce randomly.
4. I'm guessing this is about el salvadorians being poor. If you give someone who makes $3000 a year $30, do you think they need the $30 (and this is just an average)? It's a bit like when uni was first listed and airdropped and it went from $16 to $4 within 4 hours [source: binance].

This has been mentioned before and I think it was a design decision by Theymos (didn't comment on that thread).
Please, I will be glad if you could share that link here, bearing in mind I'm referring to the "Delete" button issue. I will like to read how the issue was tackled from the perspectives of other posters.

Disclaimer didn't find the exact threads but I think it's a sensitive topic for theymos:

6. The best you can do is to choose someone to follow, whose step and footprint in the forum is what you wish to attain, then you see what he/she does so that you attain that.

Just don't... This is not really how you fit in with a group, it's how you look weird.

You should be trying to learn off as many people as possible on forums if you're not comfortable using them or with how they work. Users here often seem to have quite a bit of patience though too so don't put yourself under too much stress.
