21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Cryptocurrency has best future? on: June 29, 2021, 12:40:44 PM
Cryptocurrency is digital money that isn’t managed by a central system like a government. Instead, it’s based on blockchain technology, with Bitcoin being the most popular one. As digital money continues to gain traction on Wall Street, more and more options become available. There are currently more than 5,000 cryptocurrencies on the market.

While you can use cryptocurrency to make purchases, most people treat it as a long-term investment. However, investing in cryptocurrency can be risky if you don’t know where to begin.

This is a token I a looking to hold for the next 6 months, the public sale will be in Q3 this year, what do you think? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244363#msg57244363
22  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Completely decentralized and anonymous marketplace on: June 29, 2021, 12:33:31 PM
I create a peer to peer client for decentralized trade. And it seems he is still the first and only of its kind(I mean first really working and already anonymous).
 For those who are afraid of malicious software, you can install BitXBay to vmware or virtual box.
 You can download exe:
 BitXBay for Windows
 Or sources(you need python 2.7 and pyqt for run it):
 BitXBay sources on github
Now in detail.
 This is not the first application what claims to be a decentralized marketplace. But all other known development is based on servers, and should still need admin. If admin and 1 of 2 sides it is one person they can steal your money.
In other "decentralized" platforms  admin or moderator can always remove your goods or service. Besides, if he loses access or die you will lose money and platform can`t work.
 Why is my trading platform is fully decentralized and anonymous?
 Base is the bitmessage network .
 All transactions are in the form of escrow with multisig 2-2. For each transaction creates 3 ​​multisig address. One for the primary and two for the payment of insurance.
 When a customer starts a transaction, he first takes 5% of the amount to one of the addresses. After the seller saw that the money transferred to multisig address, he also takes 5% of the amount in the second of three addresses. Only after that the buyer transfers 100% of the third multisig address. Each side has only one key from each address, but you need both to send money from it.
This means that if the deal is not completed, the seller will lose his own money and money for goods. But the buyer is not able to get back the money and lose money too.
If the buyer is satisfied with the deal, and want to get their 5% back he should sign the deal. 5% insurance payment  just returned to buyer and seller if the deal is completed successfully. Insurance payment from merchant need to avoid cases of extortion. This makes it just not profitable. At the same time, the buyer insurance payment stimulates him to sign a deal if he is satisfied with the product or service.
Since this is the beta version it may be a problem with security and need more security audit.
You can test the security. Client works through bitcoin-qt.
 You can control your wallet with bitcoin-qt/elecrum when running with BitXBay client.
 The blockchain in the folder btc \ block. Btc folder should be there where you unpack BitXBay, but need to close elecrum or BitXBay if you import private key.
 Please post here security bugs if you found.
 Theoretically, BitXBay resisted to spam, flooding, unscrupulous sellers, government bans and the main developer elimination.
 All in open source and you can modify BitXBay how you want.

---------------------------------------
Update June 10, 2014

The first fully working version is ready. Of course this is unverified alfa version. But you can use it at your own risk on a virtual machine or on a real if you not afraid. All problems can be solved in bitcoin-qt console. If necessary, write here, I will explain how to solve the problem via the console and try to fix the possible bug in the program.

BitXBay binaries


BitXBay sources on github

Now briefly about the functionality.
The program runs over the bitmessage network . This is anonymous decentralized network to transmit messages. It is used to send the keys, transaction ids, communication and offer placement.
Anyone can place an ad on the special channel and this everyone can see it via bitxbay client. It can not be Moderated or rejected. Of course, this making the danger of spam or flood. Can also be placed unserious proposals.  To solve these problems, I created a special filter.  All works very simply. Each message is signed with your bitcoin address.
There are  2 my bitcoin address . Filter checks all transfers to these two addresses using downloaded bitcoin blockchain and creates a list of addresses from which the transfers  to these two addresses . Thus filter organizes ad so that the top of the list are always the ones that have payed more, but you can also find those ads that have moved a negligible amount. They will be displayed below. Just soon will be created filters by category and country. And also search through all the ads . Categories can created by everyone . Category will also have points depending on the sum of points of all the ads in them outside to avoid useless clone categories.
The first thing you should pay attention to this tab decentralized trade. Here you can see all ads posted by sellers. In this version, you can see them only when fully load blockchain. It is created to maximize the reliability and anonymity. But in the next version I plan to make a simplified system to avoid having to download the entire chain of blocks.
I guess that the first time will probably not classified ads. And if it will be of poor quality, as it is the first version and it still is present many flaws. But if I can gather so at least some money that I will have more interest in the development and perhaps finances to pay for third-party developers, which greatly improve the program.
You can easily buy any product using escrow. You just have to click on a link "buy" you will be redirected to another tab and can create an escrow transaction. Be careful and do not go to any persuasions seller to confirm the deal until you get and do not check the goods. Just to buy something you have to have 105% of the 5% goods cost an insurance premium, which is returned to you if the transaction is successful, the seller also makes 5% of the transaction amount.
So you can easily contact the seller using anonymous bitmessage(in messaging tab or just click contact).
I hope that such a combo of anonymous and decentralized services will create a new generation trading platform.
Now the program is slow and you have to download the whole chain of blocks, and it takes a lot of disk space and may take several days.
Source code is available to everyone, and I cant control system. But the idea is that the person who paid more to his ad was higher probably a good seller, it is further guaranteed via escrow system.
Escrow without intermediaries has its drawbacks, but guarantees the declared value of the goods and the proper execution of the order. But most importantly, no one can get your money, as in the case of escrow through an intermediary, the intermediary can tricky to reach agreement with the seller and get your money. Of the minuses if the seller or the buyer loses control of the purse, the deal is likely to be disrupted.
If you want to test sell functions don't close bitxbay about 1 hour or more after place offer.  It is best not to turn off the client as long as possible after any actions. Apologies for the inconvenience, but I did not have time to do the necessary good multithreading and windows warnings. In the near future I will try to improve usability.
If the escrow deal is completed but you do not see the money start bitcoin-qt with "-rescan -datadir=%directory btc in bitxbay folder%" or just wait few days.
Sometimes message, sent a very long time, in this case, the only method is to simply wait until the client will handle all. May be more then one day. This happens if someone on the network sends a large number of huge messages(about 400mb). And it's not a bug in my code and the problem in the source bitmessage. It can be resolved.
---------------------------------------------------------
Updated July 7, 2014
Added litemode. Now you dont need all blockchain for see items in trade board. If you set checkbox -"Get TXs form Blockchain.info"
Created vmware image with BitXBay and whole blockchain. You can download it form Piratebay.se
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/10505247/BitXBay_v.1.4.4b_vmware_image
Linux version coming soon.

---------------------------------------------------------
Updated September 27 2014
Previus versions can't work with now deal system. Please update.

Now you BitXBay use elecrum and you don't need to download 30gb of blockchain. Also work with bitcoin-qt/bitcoind.

Look like decentralize, confidentially, and privacy attributes  are getting more and more  attention, I suggest looking at this project also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244363#msg57244363
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crpto investment in 2021 on: June 25, 2021, 04:31:26 PM
Anyone have the idea for the best Crypto to invest in early 2021 for gaining high profit value 

I recommend looking at new projects that are launching on the market. Those are the ones that have a huge potential for growing.

In my opinion stay away from meme coins since they are driven hype.

Look for serious projects:
Ethernity Cloud - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244402#new
Lanceria
BOM


I saw that EthernityCloud closed the presale with huge success, can wait for the public sale, to bad I didn't have the guts to invest in the presale, hade you invest in it yet?
 
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Cryptocurrency will rise in future? on: June 25, 2021, 04:24:14 PM
The sharp drop means bitcoin had temporarily erased all its gains following Tesla's announcement that it would purchase $1.5 billion worth of the cryptocurrency. It was also down more than 50% since hitting a record high of $64,829 in mid-April

is there any other cryptocurrency that can be rise n future ? if yes then proper details which one is ?

At this point, I have stop trading ripple and focus on new projects. I found these guys, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244402#msg57244402 , project look very promising, the presale has 5k minimum package but I took my chances, was a bit nervous but they manage to close the presale in less than 2 days, I will invest more in the public sale, I really believe that the future in cryptocurrencies will start to depend on the utility of the token, maybe fare beyond trading.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth investing in coins you believe in? on: June 25, 2021, 04:16:13 PM
Coming from stocks, I deem crypto investing quite different, and I am still to get my complete understanding behind it. When talking about stocks, there are a lot of people and investors that tend to spend their money on businesses or shares they firmly believe in.
Talking about cryptos, I see a lot of people cashing out on short term for quick money, but the question is, is it worth playing it like that or better to consider the project behind the coin long-term? Regarding stocks for instance, Nvidia is a share I really do believe in and the sentiment itself is what keeps me holding the stock no matter the market. There was a huge dip in May, similar to what the crypto market is facing now, and although difficult to hold, I strongly believed in the long-term.

Regarding coins, I struggle to understand the approach people have. I am, by no means, expecting people to run down details on what they do, as we are not here to give financial advice, but a small explanation on how you address your investments: both short-term and long-term. Similarly to the stock mentioned above, I do have the same kind of interest for coin Oracle ($ORA), it’s quite new so I don’t expect many to know it. I really believe in the platform they want to create (just for context it’s a NFT market for ideas, so you just buy others’ ideas) and I would like to see their project created and support them long term, but how popular is the cashing out in cryptocurrencies? Everyone seems to be spamming to the moon to the moon, but most people seem to be selling.


Is really hard to follow the "trends" in crypto communities latley, people are not relying on their opinion, they expect others( influencers or public persons) to make the decisions for them, easier to blame when you fail if you ask me. The leak of personal opinions and personal assumption of choices makes people buy crypto as brainless as they buy phones for example. For me investing in something that speaks to me is as important in crypto as is in my day-to-day life, also this mentality hade help me make long-term decisions in the crypt. At this point I have invested in ETNY, 5k in the presale only because I believe in the project vision, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244402#msg57244402, this is the project. I am curious, what do you say, bad decision or not?
26  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why privacy matters on: June 22, 2021, 01:26:02 PM
Privacy is a big problem in all aspects of using the internet or anything that is related, you are being tracked even when you are speaking near a smartphone, I and my friends did an experiment a few years back, we start speaking about apples with our phones on the table, that check the google search on our phone, the first suggestion was apples... for all of us, I just hope that decentralized blockchain technology  will get more accessible for the end-user, so at least our data stat is stored on the internet would be safer, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244363#msg57244363 these guys are doing something that could change the game a bit in the future, just hope that more will follow
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What features should a good altcoin project have? on: June 22, 2021, 01:12:05 PM
A good team of developers behind,  good and legitimate partners, use cases, a road map on their website, also very important, a community. I also appreciate a coin that has a mission and a vision that make the token itself speak to people and also have a purpose that is beyond trading. I must admit that I fancy utility tokens. This for example is a project that really speak with me because of the way they are presenting their project and also has reliable partners https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5344159.msg57244363#msg57244363
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Altcoin Safe for Investment on: June 18, 2021, 01:47:17 PM
In now days too much Altcoin Project are Launching one by one and all of them claim that invest in his project because we will be successful in upcoming days but in the end they run away and make a scam. They don't woory about people fund and stole them.
So how we can trust on altcoin to give us profit after investment. Because most of them become Scam and Scam. All of them has one Aim how to stole too much fund .
So how we make altcoin investment safe ?

I really feel what you are saying, I believe that is very important to check the company behind any coin before buying their token or invest in their project, by checking I mean to research the history of the team members and also whitepapers, project road mad, and basically, everything that you can find out there, and then make an opinion either to buy or not, for example at this time I am following this project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3339189;sa=showPosts for over a month, and its start to look better and better, but still holding my horses to see how it will work out for a bit longer. I don't think there is a single solution to reduce scams, all we can do is stop buying by impulse and actually take our time to reseach, and also stop focus on what others think is the best and create our own opinion about what we are about to buy. One of the most destructive mentality in crypto communities is to believe that you can get rich overnight only by buying something without actually putting any effort into making the decisions
