2081  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Leading To Total Surveillance Of Payments? on: October 31, 2019, 01:07:00 AM
We are going digital and specifically going blockchain that's for sure. There's going to be two types of blockchain based money, a government issued traceable digital coin and an anonymous and untraceable crypto currency which the government would love to kill but they can't.
Tracing every bitcoin transaction is not viable for any government. There are some instance of bitcoin being traced with the help of exchanges which were basically to make the scammer/hacker not be able to use it and possibly track and bring them to justice. That's exceptional cases, no government would be able to track something like every transaction over 1 BTC or so.
2082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Initial Model Offering(IMO) replace Initial Exchange Offering(IEO)? on: October 31, 2019, 12:49:30 AM
It's a good option. It solves some of the problems like early dumping of coin and the team taking all the money and going scam. Going scam is an intention and may not be easily avoided but when there is low supply, the price does not decreases sharply. One of the shortcome could be if not studied and placed according to the need, the team may face cash deficient as a fixed amount of money is only released. This could even be solved with the governance of coin, investors should be able to vote in order to release next batch of coins to the team or not.

I'd like to believe both of the Bin Laden and Al Baghdadi are dead. But there surely are some dots that don't connect.
The US decides to withdraw US army from Syria around 1st week of October and this starts around October 20. The US special force happens to be around Syrian army controlled area of Idlib on October 29 killing Baghdadi. No body to show. A conspiracy, the US army may possibly have escorted Baghdadi out of Syrian into Saudi Arabia.
2084  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Moving on to Other Things on: October 30, 2019, 07:02:29 PM
What do you think these other things could be?

I generally assume he was moving on to battle an illness, and that he lost the battle and died.

LOL how you assume that he died.

We need to look the value and make the money with that if Satoshi comes to live we may expect good price growth considering this as positive move for crypto field. We wish to have the official announcement of Satoshi soon among us.

Maybe he was Craig Wright and he actually  already invented Bitcoin 2.0  by the name of BSV. That's stupid, I don't think he'll again work on a bitcoin related project. He might be working on a new form of crypto or maybe the work is not related to crypto at all. All we can do is assume, satoshi had the plan to leave bitcoin and disappear without a trace and we should respect his choice.
2085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 32 ETH for staking?! on: October 30, 2019, 07:39:52 AM
I came up with an article across the web, explaining Ethereum's staking requirements in the future which is going to be a minimum of 32 ETH. Multiplying this with current prices, I get an average of $5,780 (USD) (at $180 per coin). This doesn't seem cost-effective for the average person, as it's somewhat expensive to start earning rewards from the ETH blockchain. If ETH devs leave that requirement for staking upon the launch of Ethereum 2.0, I'm afraid that the blockchain will be less secure than what it is right now (as less people will be able to keep the network strong).

The best solution would be to lower the minimum ETH required for staking in order to encourage the average person to support the blockchain as much as possible. With lower costs, nearly anyone will be able to join the ETH blockchain, making it much more resilient against third-party attacks. What do you think about this? Huh
Lol the ETH 2.0 staking reward is not for average people in the space, the way i see things only whales will benefit from the staking, well this won't be a problem though because ETH is the second biggest coin in crypto space today

32ETH for a validator is very cheap compared to similar node of DASH. Currently there are about 109000 wallets that holds above 32 ETH.
Still many things are to be revealed about the validator node. Whether it would be a server friendly or not.

2087  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Denarius. No WP and team without names. on: October 29, 2019, 06:25:43 PM
Denarius is an old project. It has a good following and support. It's supposedly a rebranding thread of the old Denarius project.
I have used and traded it, nothing to be suspicious here.
Anonymous team is not a red flag.

Edit: After some discussion and proof here and through my small research, It seems like a know scammer is associated with the project. Users should be cautious about it.
2088  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Cursor issue on my notebook on: October 29, 2019, 06:16:36 PM
I guess everyone knows that what is cursor means which is the term used for mouse pointer and text blinking bar on a computer.Today I found that my mouse cursor moving on itself from one point to another,I noticed this happens for the recent days.I thought it could be accidental touch on the mousepad on my notebook but I visually saw that today the mouse cursor moving itself without any touch from myself and this also happens with 'caret' the text blinking bar which misplaces while I am typing something (even now).

I would like to know how to fix this and what could be the reason for this?

wrong forum to start with.

Try stack exchange https://superuser.com/

2089  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto, here's an idea for you (if you are still out there): on: October 29, 2019, 06:11:15 PM
The idea is a good one as people would get interested and open up a bitcoin wallet just to get an airdrop of about a dollar. Everyone loves free money.
And as they get used to using bitcoin and have an idea about it's future, it would certainly increase the adoption.
But I don't think that would even be possible for a coin as decentralized as bitcoin. Even satoshi can't force anyone to go through it unless we have a huge consensus.
2090  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your Travel Map When Travelling Abroad Carrying Only Cryptocurrency on: October 29, 2019, 05:56:39 PM
For a cheap fun, I'd travel to Singapore, China, South Korea and Japan. These are near to each other and has one of the friendliest crypto economy. Bitcoin is readily accepted in many part of these country as a payment and you can get by by exchanging bitcoin to cash when you need it.

Another viable option could be Europe, Baltic nations are one of the friendliest crypto economy.
2091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Survey on Bitcoin ownership on: October 29, 2019, 10:32:44 AM
Of about 50 co-workers in my office, just four of us hold any significant amount of bitcoin. A dozen of young people know about blockchain and how bitcoin works.
Due to bitcoin in news, almost all of them know it as a cryptocurrency.
People here mostly look at bitcoin as an investment opportunity and as it's debate of legality makes people hesitant on holding it. It's illegal to trade crypto here but nothing said about holding.
2092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inside The Final Days Of The $3 BILLION Chinese Crypto Scam... on: October 29, 2019, 01:32:57 AM
There used to be a never ending rise and fall of multi level marketing scheme and pyramid scheme in the past and blockchain technology has eased that up.
Such scam grow in the expense of gullible investors who lose their money due to greed. These type of ponzi projects are prevalent in one form or other in almost every part of the world. There was even a ponzi that gave a certificate of ownership of it's coin rather than actual coin.
2093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market is Not Ready for Libra on: October 28, 2019, 07:52:55 PM
It's actually Facebook (Libra) that's not ready for the market. Market demands change, it demands new technologies, it demands freedom.
Facebook on the other hand is a money oriented company, whatever their motive be with Libra, they hurt another large money oriented business of politics.
Politician has been creating this fake sense of authority over people using oppressive laws making it a business. Libra is just a collision between two businesses.
If Facebook really want's to create a crypto, no one can stop them.
2094  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency usage will boost economy or make it worst ? on: October 28, 2019, 07:48:46 PM
What if all those big corporates and businesses starts using crypto as a mode of payment just to avoid tax which will cause a direct loss to the government which uses tax for the betterment of the country. This might not affect corrupt countries as it doesn't matter because tax money goes to politician's coffers but what about developed nations?

Crypto would actually get rid of different middlemen whether that be an agent or a government and in the process make international and national trade more efficient increasing the productivity and decreasing cost. It would certainly take away the income of some people and taxes from government but that would in long term make us more hardworking and our government more capable as taking away the money both from producer and consumer is not a job but a crime.
2095  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Does MEDIA affect you? A poll on: October 28, 2019, 07:44:22 PM
We may not know it but everything we see and hear are influencing us to same extent. It would be safe to assume all of us are filled by larger amount of propaganda and lesser amount of truth.
In order to know the right things, we should always keep our mind open to every new and uncomfortable ideas. Listen to everyone and verify every details yourself.
While judging things, we should always provide bias towards the voice that is less heard. By default, the people in power tends to misuse it.

2097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Possible To Mine Bitcoin with Supercomputer? on: October 28, 2019, 12:32:43 PM
These Russians were jailed for attempting to mine bitcoin at a nuclear facility. Would they really have gotten coins mining with a supercomputer? https://www.cryptoinfowatch.com/russian-nuclear-engineer-jailed-for-mining-bitcoin-at-work/

There were news of NSA employee mining bitcoin from NSA supercomputer a few years ago. They might have had a good profit.
Super computer are not an efficient mining hardware but they surely perform better than a PC with GPU.
With so much of ASIC mines, I don't think supercomputer would have a very impressive output in today's time.
I just hope google would try mining bitcoin with it's quantum computer and care to share the hash they get.
2098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do people still create new ERC20 tokens/projects nowadays? on: October 28, 2019, 10:50:57 AM
I was wondering if ERC20 tokens are still useful today and if people still create projects around them? I know the ICO 'feast' is kind of over and that was the main purpose people were launching these tokens for.

Greetings to the community,

Liviu

They certainly do. But the numbers are drastically reduced. Almost all of ICOs are not being able to deliver a profit for the invetors for quite some time. The people looking for ICOs and interested investors.

This list used to contain hundreds of ongoing ICO projects but now there's less than 100.
2099  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase New Phone 2FA Issue on: October 28, 2019, 10:41:42 AM
I created a coinbase account a long time ago.  I used an iphone and i verified my account with my sms phone number.  I don't remember if my 2FA was google authenticator or sms number.  It can be either right?  Because last time when i tried to log into my coinbase account on computer, i could not do it. 



I contacted coinbase on this and they said i need to create a brand new coinbase account with a different email address.  Then upload a selfie for verification.  Then tell them about the situation so any funds i have in that account will move to the new coinbase account.  I was skeptical at this since it meant creating a brand new coinbase account.




To anyone that lost their 2FA phone, is this the proper way to do it?

Is that the support that made you make a new ID and verify with the same document as the previous one? If yes, than you'll surely have your coins shifted to new account with the help of support. I haven't been through that process in Coinbase but had similar incident with Skrill. Mobile seems and network maybe untrustworthy sometimes, so it's best to use a time based 2FA and save the key securely in more than one place.
2100  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In 2019 over 40m cryptocurrency wallets have been created on: October 28, 2019, 12:02:38 AM
Even though they could be multiple wallet of single person, made specifically to claim that stellar airdrop, we could still see there's a large growth of people knowing and using bitcoins.
Personally I have helped a dozen of people about bitcoins and altcoins. I now have a larger local circle of friends who trade and deals in bitcoins. Most of them are still suspicious about its future but they are using it in one form or other.
