An active community on this forum has got to be more credible to potential investors than reddit
Look at the number of pages in the DeepOnion thread on this site, or Electroneum or others. Active here doesn't mean good coin..

No it doesnt, but I didn't say that did I. I said it gives credibility, I never said it makes the coin any better or worse.

I love sub, its my biggest holding I expect to see it in the top 20 sometime this year. One thing I've noticed though is that this thread is fairly inactive whereas the subreddit is extremely active. Over the years I've always come here for info and help as opposed to anywhere else as I find this is where the people who really know crypto come to hang out, plus its where I learned everything about crypto back in 2013/14. Reddit is just full of moon kids and lambo boys.

Maybe that's an indication of the types of people holding sub? I hope not though the moonkids do more harm than good.

Maybe we should make more of an effort to keep the conversation going here? An active community on this forum has got to be more credible to potential investors than reddit, or worse those Facebook groups which seem to be most newbies first port of call...

Just a thought.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★[ANN] [NAV] NAV COIN - NAVTECH NOW DECENTRALIZED! on: January 15, 2018, 02:50:59 PM
Wondering if anyone can help. I've been staking for the last few days, the wallet is fully synced and no firewall blocking it but I haven't earned anything, absolutely 0. The wallet is unlocked for staking and says that it is staking but I'm still not earning, any ideas why?

Thanks in advance.

You must upgrade to V 4.1.1.0

That will solve your problem.

Im on V 4.1.1.0 and still nothing, its only a very small balance (200NAV) maybe thats why? Not a huge issue I was never expecting to earn anything significant from that but I just thought it was better than letting the coins sit idle. Hmm now its just annoying me

Hey mate. 200 Nav should theoretically get you 5% per year but don't hold your breath. I have several Nav wallets with varying amounts in them. Even wallets with 10k in them don't see any stakes for days.

So in summary, you won't be seeing any rewards for a considerable while. Don't be disheartened tho. 200 Nav is better than zero nav and with everything going on with Nav right now your investment will be well worth it - just hang in there.

Oh well I wasn't expecting much anyway but since I have a spare old computer I might as well leave it staking. Thanks for confirming I'm not completely wasting my time though. Cheers!

28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Can anyone help me? IOTA transaction stuck pending and turning my hair grey... on: December 09, 2017, 02:07:38 PM
I'm loosing it with IOTA atm. I've had a transaction suck as pending for a couple of days now, I've tried reattaching it using different nodes and still nothing. I'm trying to send from the stupid bloody wallet to Binance. Now I've got 14 pending and unconfirmed transactions coming up in my deposit history on Binance.

This forum has helped me out a lot over the last few years, now I'm just hoping it can pull one out the bag for me again.

I've heard IOTAs are at risk of being lost if transactions are still pending during next weeks snapshot no naturally I'm starting to grow more and more frustrated that I can't push this through. 

Instant transactions and 0 fees are supposed to be a major part of IOTA's USP, scary.... Just as well it's number 4 on CMC hey, otherwise people might start to become bit disillusioned........

Thanks in advance. 
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Address shows that it's recieved alot of coins in the client but 0 on blockchain on: July 30, 2017, 01:38:26 PM
Unfortunately it looks like they all have orphaned inputs Sad
I wouldn't be surprised if the coins that these transactions referenced have already been double-spent.

So does that mean that if I had more on the ball in 2014 and tried to get the tx confirmed then I could have possibly got myself 650 free Bitcoin? I'd feel a little bit sad if that was the case haha. Still wondering where they came from in the first place. Odd

Thanks anyway for looking into it. I'll just leave it out there that if anyone can by some miricle figure it out and get the 650 coins confirmed I'd would more than happily reward 50BTC haha  Grin pipe dreams hey.

Anyway cheers!

Looks like your reasoning would be correct. Grab a backup of your Bitcoin data directory; it's possible that there would be other steps you could take later to learn about the history of these coins at the very least.

Hey, I just remembered what you said about a possibility of taking steps in the future that may become possible. With the BCC fork coming on 1st August would that be an opportunity to try and re broadcast the transactions and on the forked blockchain? You said before that the inputs were orphaned, if I could contact someone with significant hashing power on the BCC chain and offered a reward would that be a possibility to recover the coins?

Also like I said before, I would reward you for helping.

Maybe its blue sky thinking but you can't blame me can you? Smiley

Thanks

quantum computers are reality long time ago already:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3194574/hardware/china-adds-a-quantum-computer-to-high-performance-computing-arsenal.html
chinese have added quantum computers to their research pool
the thing is that at the current state of things, hashes will not be decoded on the fly (unless Snowden is right and ANB have backdoors in every crypto algorythm)
even with the help of the quantum computers,so no,bitcoin is/will be safe for at least another decade

Funny you mention that the Chinese have developed quantum technology, I just came across this on Facebook from the financial times: https://www.facebook.com/financialtimes/posts/10155458818350750

Says China have successfully developed quantum communication. Will be deployed in August.

Maybe things move quicker than what people think
31  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Will quantum computing kill crypto? on: June 29, 2017, 01:57:20 PM
Quantum computing is still in its starting phase. It will still need couple of decades to become a threat to cryptocurrencies. I read it somewhere that at present quantum computing is focused upon only energy landscape issues and not on solving regular mathematical problems. We need a major revolution in our ability to build reliable qubit logic before we can even think about solving complex cryptography and that problem is nowhere near being solved at the moment.

Sure I get that but just look at where there internet has gone in the last 20 years. I'm sure if you went back in time 20 years today's reality would have been thought of as impossible. Technology moves at such a great rate that it would be hard to predict 5 years into the future let alone another 20.

32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining on: June 29, 2017, 01:39:35 PM
Hi,

I've just signed up for a steemit account but just read somewhere that at the moment it is taking quite along time for accounts to be approved. I also read that if you already have an existing social media following then you are likely to get your account approved faster. I have over 7100 real and active followers on instagram and also over 3700 on twitter. Between pinterest, flickr, tumblr, bloglovin I also have a further 4000 followers more or less. That's roughly 15,000 followers across all social networks.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a dev who I can contact to hopefully speed the process up?

Thanks!
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg on: June 29, 2017, 12:37:31 PM
When I downloaded bitcoin blockchain, I had to restart from scratch twice. On the third time it still disconnected after about 4 years of sync, but when I restarted the QT it resumed from existing location.

Wow you actually attempted to download the entire Bitcoin blockchain, you must have patience by the bucket load! I've been in crypto sicne 2013 and dont think ive ever done it! I usually just generate pub and priv keys from bitaddress and effectively put my coins in cold storage then import the priv keys into an online wallet or something like electrum when i need them.



It wasn't so bad on a brand new i7 processor.
If it weren't for the damn restarts I would have completed it in about 30 hours.
The hard part was backing it up to my cloud Cheesy  That took almost 4 days!
It worked though. I've downloaded my backup to test it out. Was just a few hours behind the chain!


But there in lies one of the biggest issues with Bitcoin, why support the network that only gives incentives to the miners.

That's why I like Proof of Stake coins so much.

Thankfully, future decentralized exchanges like blocknet will help with the burden of supporting big chain POW coins.






Fair play I've actually just ordered a new laptop which should arrive next week hopefully that works out to be qucker!

I just had a look at blocknet, I dont really understand how it would help with downloading blockchains. I see its a decentralised exchange though. Maybe you could explain a little? Not trolling genuinely interested to know.

Thanks!

Glad to hear most people think that Bitcoin will survive. I suppose its a bit of a guessing game but for now at least we are on top of any potential changes
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BitBay OFFICIAL BITBAY Thread Smart Contracts Decentralized Markets Rolling Peg on: June 29, 2017, 11:06:27 AM
Honestly I almost chucked my computer out of the window just now. I've been syncing the Bitbay client for the last 4 days now and it got to 92% My laptop ran out of battery while i wasnt looking and now im just getting an error message and the client close closes itself down. I've even tryed to re-index the entire blockchain again from the begining but i still get the same message.

Anyone got any ideas because it is driving me insane, so close and this happens.

All i wanted to do was stake my coins.

Im running the client on a Mac if that helps anyone

Here's the error message im getting: http://imgur.com/a/EPpZj

Ive read somewhere there is a bug with the mac client but it was working perfectly untill the battery cut at 92%

Anyone know what i can do?

Thanks

Hey so I have noticed that Mac once it goes down it tends to stay down. This means explore package contents find BitBaydata directory delete its contents but keep wallet.dat as that tracks watchonly accounts and resync. There are a few others who expressed slow sync on Mac so we are looking to merge some SPV options for Mac. Also I'm making a Mac Build that is synced in advance. Hopefully it works to greatly help that issue. Sorry I can only imagine how frustrating it is. For me as a coder it is more so hahahaha.

Don't blame me though, blame Bitcoin for constantly having issues when block data gets corrupted. They reindex and resync too. They have RPC disconnect bugs in bitcoin that still effect us and apparently moreso in Mac/WineSkin VM build

Also I added a reindex option specifically for mac! When the software doesn't connect the new build I'm releasing will allow you to wait. Then its reindex will complete and sync again.

Hey thanks for the advice I will try deleting the data directory contents and try again. I'll post results here.

I can imagine that it is more fustrating for you as a coder to be honest, but it's the little issues like this that will put people off adoption. However it's great to hear that it's noted and being worked on. Hope these little bumps can be ironed out as the project has alot of potential in my eyes.

Keep up the good work!

Interesting project, I'm very keen to see where this one goes. Despite the technical challenges of using coloured coin technology over the ethereum network I belive only the Bitcoin blockchain will ever stand a chance of hosting the decentralised financial services of the future because of it's massive network hashrate compared to any other blockchain, which in turn leads to much much greater security. After all Bitcoin is the father of cryptos.

Quick question though, is there a desktop wallet avaliable? Or at least a service where I can generate my own public and private keys? I'm hesitant to use any wallet generated by someone other than myself.

Or can Lykke be sent to a traditional Bitcoin address and stored there using the omni protocol just as others do? For example Synereo?

Like I said I'm very interested in this project! Got my eye on it!


Hi crypto33!

It's possible to use coinprism with LKK: https://www.coinprism.com

And it also should be possible to use it in combination with amory for cold storage:
https://coinprism.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1774709-how-can-i-use-cold-storage-with-coinprism-

Seems similar to Omni but I haven't tried that yet. I would recommend to test it first before using with larger amounts.


Desktop version: A web-based-terminal is in development but not released yet.

Thanks for the info! Great article on using amory for cold storage. I will also test out the omni protocol and report with here with the results. It would be handy if it works as generating a Bitcoin wallet offline using bitaddress is a lot easier and takes 2 seconds.

Thanks again

Of course, I didnt even think about the fact the public key is already hashed!

Glad to hear our Bitcoin will be safe from the world of science fiction.

I think a long Sunday afternoon must have taken it's toll, my imgination has been for a good wonder today...

Thanks for the info though!
Unfortunately, in the earlier stages of Bitcoin, P2PK was implemented instead of P2PKH. The earlier transactions, specifically those that were mined to were vulnerable with the default implementation using P2PK.

That includes the genesis block and many addresses with transactions around that time.

Those addresses with 50BTC can potentially be vulnerable.

Really, I wasnt aware of that. That would surely be profitable for someone if they could exploit that vulnerability in the early blocks. At least it wouldnt bring down Bitcoin as whole though....
