Picture is a bit blurry to see transaction details. Did you specify a regular mining fee when you sent the transaction? Also, how long ago did you send it?

The gold bar. I don't need the internet to spend, move, or subdivide it.

people who too lazy to move their funds to their own wallet should be considered as lazy ass

How else are you going to exchange btc, if not on an exchange?
2224  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Bitfinex Hacked] So , learned the lesson ? on: August 03, 2016, 01:15:33 PM
Lesson learned, don't use exchange, don't trade bitcoins, put all your money in the bank.

Exchanges are fine. Just understand the inherent risk of having your coins in a wallet to which you don't have some key access.

If you don't have the key, you don't have the coins.
2225  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex HACKED - funds stolen ! on: August 03, 2016, 01:14:01 PM
What if the owners themselves orchestrated all this thing? They've got a database of +119kBTC. That meant over $70m at the time of the theft. How hard is it to orchestrate this? Just pretend a hacker stole all BTC from your website, send the +119kBTC funds to your secondary wallet, make a fake page saying that 'they're trying to investigate this' while the owners are laughing behind the scenes, with tens of millions. As laws do not exist for BTC.. why not? Perfect method for them.

The timing on this is crazy suspicious. I'd be remiss to say what I'm thinking, but this is very interesting, and a great time (with caution) to buy btc. You know how it takes ages for the market to finish reacting to bad news, people don't find out they are broke until days after the theft in btc land.

Smells like hash ocean. But, heads will roll over there, so this has shades of legit. Prayers for anyone that lost significant value in this.
2226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Security breach Bitfinex on: August 02, 2016, 06:38:05 PM
Just another example of why not to leave funds on an exchange for extended lengths of time. 

I feel bad for those who lost out, I hope the amounts were minimal and Bitfinex is able to make everyone whole.

Didn't expect these guys to get breached! To minimalize the poor press that's going o cone from this, I'm in the same camp, I hope this is small and fixable. I wonder what happened here? I thought these guys had tight security like Coinbase.

Out of curiousity, why did you leave your position at CEX.IO?

If you were around CEX at the time, you may have noticed the entire support department suddenly dissappearing. This was because we were laid off; it  became more feasible from a cost and security standpoint to use an in- house support team (rather than the remote solution we were providing). Despite this rather abrupt termination of position, I still have a soft spot in my heart of CEX, and only have positive things to say about them. But it was 'quite inconvenient' at the time, two weeks is not quite sufficient when your primary income stream dries up with no preamble.

2228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So, are all the previous ETH haters now ETH(ETC) lovers??? on: July 30, 2016, 01:28:42 PM
I feel theajority of us that would be branded 'ETH haters' are honestly indifferent about the coin. Most of us reacted to the hype and bullshit that came pouring in, and tried to steer the weaker sheep away from the wolves. ETC is Ethereum, without all the branding and filigree. That, I can appreciate. The fact that it feeds my inner troll to invest in an asset counter to ETH (inversely related) is just icing on my dark hearted cake.
2229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DAO Attacker Owns 10% Of All ETC on: July 30, 2016, 01:23:53 PM
I can't wait until Satoshi dumps his bitcoins!

To buy Ethereum Immutable
Satoshi is dead.

So is Vitalik. He buried is own grave when he acted as a central banker by doing a rollback to get funds back from someone that didn't do anything but use the smart contract. He didn't steal, he used the existing smart contract code. The fair thing should have been to let the DAO fall, but no, they were too greedy. Now Ethereum is dead thanks to that. You can stay in denial all you want tho. No one is going to trust "smart contracts" that can end up in a rollback.

It started when he got involved with the DAO. He trusted the slock.it developers to produce solid code. Why did also were not they strict with the security audits? He has only himself to blame.

This. The callousness of youth. I have to think someone a bit more experienced in finance, and less in code, would have seen the importance of security and proper functioning code. In fact, when the 'code is the law', shouldn't you take the time to make sure the code is beyond reproach?

And the final insult? The flaw was known..
2230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC price speculation on: July 30, 2016, 01:18:13 PM
hey,

I had around 2.2k ETH on bitfinex and received 1k ETC. Can anyone tell me why I got almost exactly 1k ETC. How did they calculate it?
Appreciate your help!



Not a math wizard here, but it seems you should have received back the same amount. They should never exchange at a ratio (having 2.2k ETH literally means owning 2.2k ETC, until you move the coins on one of the exchanges. I'll reserve comment until you bring back more info, but it seems like the exchanges are playing this ETC thing very loose and fast.

Hello every one,

Due to the utter lack of response on this, and a recent, miraculous employment opportunity, I'm going to go ahead and take this down  Grin. It seems the mods had more issue with me seeking employment rather than me spouting off random opinions on the forum Smiley I've had more post deleted on this thread than I have since I joined this forum, LOL.

Thanks again for all those that took the time to review my application; it was greatly appreciated.


In the meanwhile, be on the look out for my new food truck!!! We will be operating out of the Research Triangle, selling delicious chicken and waffles (and we will accept cryptos!).

Stay tuned  Wink
2232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know legit altcoin that offer legit ICO? on: July 29, 2016, 01:53:53 PM
Do you mean 'legal' legit or 'not a scam' legit? None of these are legal per SEC regulation. But there may be an honest project out there not being ran by idiots or children. Good luck finding it in the present environment.
2233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: RAZORMIND is most likely a SCAM on: July 29, 2016, 01:49:20 PM
Good catch Spartak, good catch.

Private ICO process = something ain't right. Censorship of legitimate questions in public = radioactive.

Again, why did they call this razormind? Who makes the names for these things?

Also, it's really hard to hide 260 employees. They didn't think that one through I see  Grin
2234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: NO exchange stopped trading ETH, although there is the replay attack on: July 29, 2016, 01:43:00 PM
So, if they honor these ETC balances for customers, where are they going to get all that ETC? Another exchange? And I wonder how much ETC slipped through the cracks with this method; will this provide the buying pressure to jump start ETC price movement again?
2235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DAO Attacker Owns 10% Of All ETC on: July 29, 2016, 01:39:45 PM
Can't wait for the dump. When he dumps your ETC shitcoinage you deserve all you get for supporting a thief, and promoting theft.

There will be blood.

You do realize the devs of ETH hold an equally damning stake? Essentially, this coin is too heavily held by certain actors to make either one of these coins a stable or safe investment at the moment. Unless you are looking for risk (with it's profit of course) I wouldn't touch either of these.
2236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum Fork good or bad? on: July 29, 2016, 01:34:28 PM
The Ethereum fork could teach a lesson to bitcoin and other altcoin about the danger of the hard fork.

Any fork, at this point. We have seen every manner of fork, including salad forks coming out of the Ethereum camp. I think hard forks shouldn't be off the table, but should be limited to major technical issues that would otherwise 'break' the usability of the network.
2237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ethereum be surpassed by Ethereum??? on: July 29, 2016, 01:29:57 PM
Discuss. I think it will be, because reasons.

ETC is gaining ground as people realize it's cheap and 'counterculture' right now. If all the folks that are buying ETC right now had voted, that is they had an opinion, I don't think the hard fork would have happened in the first place. It seems there is a lot of interest in ETC as a 'punishment mechanism' for ETH.
2238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: NO exchange stopped trading ETH, although there is the replay attack on: July 29, 2016, 01:12:32 PM
Coinbase got drained, but are they the only bad coders out there?
I mean, how many exchanges did probably get drained from the replay attacks?
My guess: many and a new dark age might be dawning for crypto

Coinbase got drained? Is this true? How much are their losses and please post the link of the news please. I would like to read more about it.

Right?! I sat up in my chair when I read that. Any links, whatsoever?

Never mind, here we go;https://m.reddit.com/r/EthereumClassic/comments/4urim0/coinbase_drained_of_etc_via_replay_attacks/

Still not verified, but at least some info about what possibly happened.
2239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Ethereums should I buy? on: July 29, 2016, 01:11:06 PM
I see two options for ethereums one is cheaper and is almost the same code except for code added by Ethereum's king to save his investment. Should I buy the cheaper version of the same thing or the more expensive?

i think you should try to buy ETC and play hit and run, do not hold for a while and thats can make you a profit. but be careful about any news that release by the dev because it can be make the rate of ETC fluctuative and we can be stuck in a high rate.

for ETH, you can try to hit and run too if you want and you have more budget.

This.
 If you pick either coin, I wouldn't suggest long-term positions. Get in, take some profit, and get right back out. Rinse and repeat. Both of these are still a bit volatile for my taste
2240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What should I buy: BTC or ETC? These are the big questions. on: July 29, 2016, 01:07:50 PM
You should be buying ETH.

Now, or after it forks yet again?
