Got a new wrinkle...seems that you can't import large paper wallet (or maybe any large address private key) to the electrum 3.12 wallet you get the following error

error code -32600 response too large etc etc

So in other words for a paper wallet you can't sweep 1 million coins into that electrum 3.12 wallet ...I have another buddy who is stuck on the lite wallets listed he tried

on the fujicoin page...and lord knows I have no clue how to build the fujicoin core wallet on github for win64 and rebuild database....i don't program so clueless on that

I found this on the electrum site on the above (again know it is paper wallet large history issue...I think it may just be for moving large amounts in general due to history

even with a regular address move to a wallet (not paper wallet sweep) unsure of that as yet

did find this however on the issue

here is the link the are stuck at on github (no solution)

https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx/issues/348


here is another guys problem same as mine..trying to do the same and the above link was in this response to him

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/4315


Kinda a big deal....can't keep mining FJC if I can't pay for electric for data hall for the next month because I can't cash out my 3 million FJC on a paper wallet in any manner

to do so. Again, my case a paper wallet and my buddies case is 10x my problem in that he tried using a lite wallet ..again, from what I can tell the histories are too long.

Anyway, left an email with the OP motty...Hopefully he has an angle on this even if someone has to hand hold me for a tip in installing from github the old fujicoin qt wallet

If this is common as f*ck, I'd guess that would explain the low volume and price staying up Smiley

anyway let me know, I have to pay the data hall next month for hash...if this is not resolved...the FJC network is gonna take a hit on hashing reduction

(data halls ..have to pay a month in advance by the 5th, don't ya know)

thanks in advance

brad
Hrm... if u mine to that paper wallet, its not the coin amount nor the "large privkey"(which not even sure what that means) ... its the fact that you probably have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of transactions for that address.
If that indeed is the case ... electrum struggles w/ addresses that have thousands of transactions ... when this happened for me historically, I would import the privkey to core, it can deal much better w/ many unspent outputs and transaction counts then electrum can.


I will contact you via pm...but yeah that is exactly what the issue is with the electrum 3.12 devs (see above links) ....so stumped on what you mean

when I find out what is what (maybe) i'll post here for others if a solution

sending you a pm as we speak

It is really amazing to see Litecoin stay below 0.01 BTC for weeks like this.
Soon, Litecoin will hit 0.01 BTC for each LTC.

I held LTC when it was a 0.1 to BTC. Heck, it was actually more that that!

(all that LTC converted to BTC when it was below $4.15...ack! the horror!)

damn, just made myself despondent

Retirement on crypto (BTC and altcoins of many flavors) has its issues. As the price of BTC and/or your altcoins drop, you get depressed and spend your crypto cash like a drunken sailor.

On the other hand, the price of your crypto of any flavor goes up and you are happy and also spend money like a drunken sailor

(ah the fear of being unemployed at one time kept my spending in check...no more)

just saying, you spend cash now like every day is a weekend Sad



Damn mate you really hit the bullseyes with this statement.  Smiley

And that's what going on with me currently, I spend cash like its always a Christmas season or even someone commented that I spend too much as if I have 2 families to feed.  Grin

Yeah, I think it is a 'hedge' kinda. I used to spend on 'miner equipment' but the days of the small time miner are done...so now when price drops I buy dubious junk to make

myself happy as a hedge that it will fall further...and if the price goes up ...my confidence goes up and it is 'what the hell, live a little it is gonna moon!' ..thus feel like a

yo/yo.

I'm living now on 'dubious' altcoins I've mined in the past on the retirement so that magnify's  the above greatly

not sure what is gonna happen now that 'hobby miners' and the data hall stuff is sold...was kinda easy to retire when I had self-employed monthly income from mining

alas, those days are gone ....don't want to touch the since 2015 BTC hoard (ack! the horror!)

so I expect my next yo/yo will be to act like an old pensioner....being fussy on whether to sell a bond or two to eat and clothe myself...I will probably be that guy...Sad

one extreme or another...

I also notice other signs of age on my retirement....old guy stuff....like suddenly I like horseradish and have the urge to get an old pickup....pile it with junk in the back

(which never is taken out of the pickup) a huge urge to wear a baseball cap at all times and drive the pickup around aimlessly like the other old farts I see with a grim

look on my face..that I'm actually doing something. I dread the day when I pay attention to various 'depend' adult diaper ads. Sad (ack! the horror ack!)

Assuming I am correct and Fujicoin on Cryptopia takes a 20% xfer fee, does anyone have better
options on how to move this to other coins or cash? Currently I make 33% after electric
from mining. This is full ask price on worldcoininex site for FJC. So call what I could really
move FJC for At say 25%. I’m pretty much skunked at a 20% exchange fee and not bother to mine.

Or am I singing to the crowd here and all FJC miners, are simply in the same boat as me?

Thanks for the clarification

Brad

What exactly is "xfer fee"?
Cryptopia charges a 0.2% fee for every trade.
Each cryptocurrency coin listed on Cryptopia has different fee for Withdrawals.
https://support.cryptopia.co.nz/csm?id=kb_article&sys_id=b53f0f1ddb2d1f009990f6fcbf961920

20% fee is hard to believe, but it is possible to withdraw a small amount of BTC.



Thanks. I’ll recheck and report back.

(no one ever got fired from using Amazon Cloud as a choice, I'm not sure with these guys how they cluster stuff up ...that would be a safe bet)



Noone got fired for choosing IBM either, but how many people still use OS/2 instead Windows or Linux?  Grin

If fork would remove everything from network but Obelisks, and 10 000 Obelisks would be put to work,

1 obelisk would earn $251.83 per hour (thats what whattomine site says, but calculating manually, I think its about 0.5$, no idea where it
went wrong or if I did it right manually, lol)


Back to previous 'gripe' I have HOW WILL ANYONE USING CLOUD STORAGE KNOW ABOUT THIS OPTION VS AMAZON PRIME IF THERE IS NO PROMOTION OF THEIR

COMING NETWORK? It is not like the current setup is going gangbusters....again, the whole build it they will come thing is fine...but where the we are gonna

hand Amazon Cloud and its centralized not anonymous cloud storage their lunch at 10% the price....no noise..deafening silence ...a big mistake IMHO.

The prices you claim above with a calculator do NOT exist with the fork ...in that, the value of the forked coin will no longer be a speculative coin....(scarcity)

it will be a coin based solely on its use as a token in the above sia-tech cloud storage network.

So, if the fork happens, you basically will be mining air....(much like bitmains bytcom coin) ...the cloud storage network is what will determine value

that's the rub, and the new reality as far as I can tell. All forked coin value will be based on if they can get their vision network up and take some cloud storage

territory..and offer a better product for all their hopeful reasons. Otherwise, it is just a mess of machines making tokens out of the air, from what I can tell.

This is at least a PLAN...the forked coin and progress indeed. But still, long odds for this all to come together enough to pull off at the same time. The project

has to show some legs, and with cluster's of the past ..still looking more than 'wobbly' IMHO. (damn, I hope I'm wrong and things pick up) Sad

So SIA switched from blake2b to sha-256? Where are the details about it?

If not, maybe that calculator is not too good, if owner can't even get

mining algorithm right  Grin
Obviously, I was wrong with the mining algorithm but that does not affect the estimated calculation which is still correct.


If SIA forks to keep their Obelisks usable, how do you know network difficulty?
What fork do you talking about?
Can you provide some more info?
I am interested in hosting/disk share coins and SIA is one of them.
I will be gratefull, thanks.

Earlier in this thread people were talking about it, no idea if true...but without
it, Obelisk miners are obviously worthless



I just got a notice that at least ONE (of my five sc-1 doorstops) is in the mail

this is what I'd make if they arrived today. Using this Calculator.  https://minecalc.com/coin/SC

This is at the stated 550gh they've only managed to get so far and 500 watts (not sure about watts) and 14c kWh data hall rates


1 hour    -6.62458086    -0.04    
1 day    -158.98994068    -0.92    
1 week    -1,112.92958479    -6.45   
1 month    -4,769.69822052    -27.66    
1 year    -58,031.32834970 -336.48    

Yep, staying in the cardboard box and unopened for easy use (cardboard slides easier) for my FIVE doorstops. Seems to be the ONLY current plan.

Even if they do FORK and use the forked coin for their decentralized anonymous cloud storage vision to compete against Amazon Cloud at say 10c vs $1 Amazon pricing,

as they claim. Still long odds. I see all this stuff hitting the world, then supposed fork, BUT NO PROMOTION OR PLAN AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, to show WHY you would

use their vision vs Amazon? (no one ever got fired from using Amazon Cloud as a choice, I'm not sure with these guys how they cluster stuff up ...that would be a safe bet)

So this whole, build it 'they will come' vision...is just not gonna cut it...especially with their past clusters on this project

but anyway, a fork is better odds than the current NO odds (no fork) so it is that or the above 'doorstop' plan

MineCalc supports the algorithm SHA-256 of Siacoin which means to all Siacoin lovers that they can compute their estimated mining profit.

Calculate Now: Minecalc.com/coin/SC


heh..using their revised 550gh hash and 500 watts (I assume that is the same) and at my data hall rate of 14c kWh

here it is, in its ugliness below

I don really understand what you are talking about and i dont even know what Forking means but i have Antminer A3 standing in my room turned off because electricity costs here more than i earn from it



sooo i want to know if there are chances that i can use it and earn something after forking ?


because im about only 30%  ROI from what i have payed for them Smiley



or any ideas what to do with them now or later or any time or any where if i dont have free or really low cost electricity


THX


Sorry, the reason for the fork of siacoin is to go back to the 'original' vision of having an ASIC network for the siacoin decentralized anonymous cloud storage network

at a supposed price of 10c to Amazon Clouds $1 rate of pay. (as an example of what they want)

The 'catch' is Obelisk expected to provide the ONLY units to run on this network and use siacoin as a token as such to run this ASIC vision

They were 'naive' and Bitmain and others have blown up siacoin difficulty and price vs elec for ANY ASIC that none of them of any brand can make money on Siacoin now

due to again the electric cost vs what siacoin is worth

So Sia-Tech is left with the result that the ASIC's they made are worthless (along with Bitmain and others) thus HOW ARE THEY TO RUN THIS ASIC NETWORK NOW?

No way to do so unless they go back to the original vision and make their OBELISK's the ONLY units that can run their tokens for such ..thus a fork and a new coin to do

so.

This MAY NOT WORK, indeed they still have to convince a skeptical public that their vision of cloud storage can work and be safe and well run. This whole cluster

has not helped their image any.

Thus to a Bitmain Siacoin Miner...all, this makes no difference. You mined the hell out of Siacoin for a year before these units came out and they are now defunct.

Supposedly, you've made your profits as such. The current setup has to be done, and no way can it be done on siacoin anymore and make it worth even turning

on a siatech network using that coin...so, they have to do a fork IMHO or just scrap the whole cloud mining vision

still long odds after this cluster IMHO...but without the network ..they have zip as a company at this point in time....all because they thought a year ago at this

point in time they'd have the only ASIC's to use the siacoin network....again naive...now they have to fix this cluster or the whole project is doomed.

anyway, my take on this
