2301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did You Face any Problem with BTC Confirmation? on: November 03, 2020, 01:08:40 PM
OP did not give details and I don't know how OP set up fee for the stucked transaction. Mempool is better 3 latest days and if that stucked transaction was broadcasted with fee 10 or 12 sat/byte or higher, I think it can be confirmed in coming days.

If the fee was used is 1-2-5 sat/byte, I don't think it will be confirmed in this week.

I see OP is active today but did not reply here with more details. No detail, no one can help more.

BEAM has 7 weeks with weekly candles in Red. This week, it sheds a Green candle and I wish when this week candle is closed, BEAM will have its first 1W Green candle after 2 months. From 1-W candle, if BEAM begin to rally and be strong, its resistance will be 0.000032 BTC. If BEAM rallies to 0.000032 BTC, you will get x1.8 profit.  Smiley

So strange to see that some people are actually willing to sell a large portion of their crypto at the very height of an Altcoins bear market (when Altcoins prices are low).
They are losers and they will return to buy altcoins again when bull run almost hit its peak. At early weeks of bull run, they will be fear of fake bull run.

Quote
I have been doing the exact opposite, buying on the open market where i can and staking that Dash where i feel that can be done in a somewhat secure way (trusted solutions like Binance or StakeHound or other services are of course not without risk, only invest what you can afford to loose).
If I can wait for 3 years to see bitcoin began its bull run after its bubble in 2017, I can wait more than 1 year for DASH.

Monthly Change % : -0,03%

Price Down from ATH % : From -95,71%
                                      To     -95,73%     

Monthly Change % : -0,02%

Bitcoin Marketcap Dominance : from 57,5%
                                              to     63,6%
The price for last month is not bad, not change negatively from previous month. Volume is very low in the last month. I can wait for the flight to above $100 next year.

2305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain losses over $13.6 billion due to hacker attacks on: November 01, 2020, 08:05:36 AM
Parity was one of the best ethereum wallets in the past but that all changed when their wallet was exploited and accounts with multi-sig addresses got attacked losing thousands - millions. With all the security breach going around, we have to stop patronize centralized cryptocurrency service provider. eg: Exchanges, Wallets.
Much thanks. I did neither know nor use Parity wallet and I did not know about Parity wallet hack. I found this article that was written to discuss about the Parity wallet hack.
That hack was abused by bad smart contract.
Quote
According to crypto eli5, 151 wallets have been frozen, with their balances being 513,743 ETH or $152 million in total. Parity Technologies announce that 573 wallets have been affected and their total balance is unknown.

Losses from wallets are biggest but can you give more details on which wallets cause the biggest losses?

In the article, they wrote about blockchain wallets but no clear details. Years ago, Electrum wallet has a big hole that was abused but is the Electrum wallet contributed the most to losses from wallet?

Electrum vulnerability allows arbitrary messages, phishing
2307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best wallet to improve Bitcoin privacy, Wasabi, Samourai or something else? on: October 30, 2020, 07:18:20 AM
Wasabi and Samourai wallets can be compared to Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC). Developers worked together at start but their vision became different and they decided to split their ways: one for Wasabi and one for Samourai. Samourai is similar to Ethereum Classic (ETC) that have less development activities than Wasabi and Ethereum.

2308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible on: October 29, 2020, 12:54:17 AM
The locktime here is for a scheduled block at which your inheritible bitcoin will be broadcasted but it does not make sure it will get confirmation with the fee you set up in previous months or years. I think it is your idea to opt-in inheritible and its transaction as RBF.

It is a good opt-in feature but mempool is loaded or clear ocassionally and if fee is set up is not very low, I think inheritible bitcoin will come to receiver.
2309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to BTC if just a few whales will buy all left supply? on: October 28, 2020, 12:24:45 PM
If all supply is here, now, whales can buy all bitcoin at its today price. In life, it is not easy as that because there are unmined bitcoin and whales have to buy all left bitcoin many years in the future. Bitcoin adoption will increase and price of bitcoin will rise together with its adoption. This fact causes troubles for whales and they can not buy all bitcoin at $14000 or at $20000. They have to buy gradually and slowly and the price they buy will be higher years after years.

Moreover, daily trading volume is not depended on total circulating supply or total supply. It depends on how quick or slow people trade their bitcoin. This activity is more important than circulating supply or total supply (that can not be changed by traders or miners).

With crypto you can get huge returns.  However, it doesn't come easy, in a split second you could get or loose a large amount of money. This means crypto trading is exciting, and it can be very difficult to keep peace in mind under heavy pressure.

The easiest way of making money in crypto is investing longterm. Rather than trading you can buy coins, hold them in your wallets untill the price appreciates and you sell and make your profit. Of course you have to make some research about the coin, and be convinced it has potentials before investing in them.

Another way you can invest is day trading, which is a trading strategy where investors buy and sell orders for multiple times in one day. This requires more knowledge and skills. I suggest you use a demo account.
With your advises I think you are in crypto scene for long.

It is not a trusted advise if you only join crypto scene in one week or one month. In short period, you can get huge profit or huge loss but you won't never experience all emotional challenge in crypto market.

You should store your bitcoin in your wallet, not store them on exchanges but the wallet you use must be a non-custodial wallet. In addition, you have to secure your wallet private key or mnemonic seed as much safely as possible. I have same advise for you with backups.
2311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: October 26, 2020, 01:38:48 AM
To be honest, what you described is a well-known strategy called "dollar-cost averaging" DCA.

"Dollar-cost averaging - popular strategy for building investment positions over time. When you dollar-cost average, you invest equal dollar amounts in the market at regular intervals of time. The idea is to get the best deal on desired investment by controlling for market fluctuations. Rather than trying to time the market, you buy in at a range of different price points."
For DCA investment method, I do my DCAs when price falls about 30% from my first entry price. For gold, it is unrealistic to wait for the 30 percent fall in this period so I would wait for each 10 percent fall and make my DCA.

GOLD token price keeps climbing and the use case is amazing, no way to be not successful, such digression to close the comment  Wink                                      
Not only this. The good news is transaction fee on ETH network has been low in the last 2 weeks and today. There is problem with gas limit but it is good to see fee in Gwei began to fall back to normal area.
2312  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: buy low sell high? (I'm a noob) on: October 25, 2020, 03:26:17 AM
My idea was to start buying low and selling high.
Everyone has this idea at starts but very limited people actually make it. They usually buy high and sell low. On the market, the losers are more than the winners.

In order to have successful investment career, you need to have long term plan.
- Buy at low, you can, I am sure about that.
- Sell at high, it depends on your plan and you can or can not, it will depend on your plan (long term investment or short term investment) and your patience to stick with your plan.
2313  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: MicroStrategy - open with their addresses? on: October 24, 2020, 04:09:54 AM
Without showing any address there is no way of knowing if a person actually owns the amount of bitcoin they say they own, it is impossible, in fact even if someone shows you a blockchain wallet address and tell you that they own that, it is still not enough you would have to have them sign that address in order to prove that they own it, otherwise I could just show satoshis address and tell someone that I own that address as well, would that be believable? No one in the crypto industry long enough would believe that, so you would need them to sign that address as well.

However one thing is guaranteed, when we are talking about a company as big as microstrategy, they do not need to provide address, in fact hiding it is a better option to keep away from hackers, you just have to trust a billions of dollars worth of company.
Companies if they care about security and protection for their bitcoin, they will choose non-custodial wallets, and with multi-signature type. They will store their bitcoin in cold wallet and to sign any transaction from that wallet, multi signature will be a mandatory.

Hackers can steal one of multi keys but they won't be able to steal all and they won't be able to steal bitcoin from multi-signature wallet.

Big company like Micro Strategy will have a big adviso team behind and they are able to secure their bitcoin and will never reveal their bitcoin address, keys publicly.
2314  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What is KYC for crypto exchanges? on: October 24, 2020, 03:29:38 AM
Kinda looks like you are advertising for your platform. Make proper announcement thread.
It seems. I see some members created topics and they come from that site.

About KYC and its risks, 1miau has a topic Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless. It is a good topic to read and get knowledge on the risk of KYC that is dangerous, useless for exchange users.
2315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos will be holding your PayPal's Bitcoin on: October 24, 2020, 02:26:02 AM
So, after all, PayPal Bitcoin service will just be an integration with an exchange. Your coins will be in Paxos.

I didn't know about that. PayPal is taking some risks here, especially its reputation is on the line.

Exchanges can be hacked. Exchanges are sometimes shady. I don`t trust any of them my bitcoins, and now I see that I wouldn't trust PayPal as well.

So, holding bitcoin in PayPal you are literally holding in Paxos.
I don't think using any custodial wallet is good decision and with PayPal, people double their risks by use third-party services two times. PayPal has chargeback and your bitcoin will not be directly sent to your wallet address (in custodial or non-custodial wallet, it depends which wallet type you use).

Charge back on PayPal: risky.
Paxos: another type of risky temp storage on exchange.

People don't have full control on their bitcoin with PayPal and Paxos.

It is time to invite you listen to the music on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlN2nel5HI

How many times bitcoin was said it is dead? After more than 10 years and many times like that, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, it is here. It is not dead and will never be dead.

Bitcoin is not a scam coin. Never. People who are scammers can try to abuse bitcoin, its name, to scam investors but Bitcoin is bitcoin and not a shit coin or scam coin.
2318  Economy / Reputation / Re: Tagging Users for not reading campaign rules on: October 23, 2020, 03:24:01 AM
Some of ways you can do:

Build up your own list.
Ignore shitposters.

However, for your list, you need to have plans to review it after few months because people can change from bad to good.
For the use of Ignore, I don't think use it is needed because if you are a manager and your campaign rules have one rule for min earned merit in last 120 days (example your rule says the min amount is 5 or 10) I doubt that shitposters can meet that rule.

Ignore restricts your opportunities to see good changes of few shitposters.

At the end, it is your campaign, it is your decision so build up your method.
2319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 50% of bitcoins from Twitter hack have been sent through mixers on: October 23, 2020, 01:49:31 AM
Mixers were used to have more security to their holdings as well as for the purpose of anonymity. People using it a way to stay secure on the illegal business. For this we can't go check every address from which the transaction has taken place.

Some users have suggested for a block of specific address within exchanges, but that isn't a possible solution and that affect the circulation in the market. Rather than making large funds idle let it get circulated.
Mixer services are expensive and quality of mixing service you use is unknown. If you are not a technical guy and can not check their quality (if you know to that, you would have not use their mixing service), you simply believe in what they advertise and use their service. By that I meant, your anonymity can or can not be protected by the service you are using for your bitcoin transactions.

Use non-custodial wallets
Turn on Coin control feature
Use change addresses
Use Tor when you broadcast your transactions
Use Wasabi wallet if you need to use Coin Join.

Most "tumblers", like the now-defunct bestmixer.io or even ChipMixer, aren't great because they are needlessly expensive, you're trusting the service not to run away with your coins, and you're trusting the service not to keep logs. Maybe they're the best current solution for small amounts where lasting anonymity isn't mission-critical, but in most cases you shouldn't use them.

Anonymity is very difficult, especially with blockchain-based systems where so much data has to be public, but also in other areas (eg. there are several known weaknesses with Tor). You should always operate with the expectation that any anonymity system you use will eventually fail you. If you're ever confident in your anonymity, then you're wrong.
2320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think this is the start of mass adoption in Bitcoin? or Nah? on: October 23, 2020, 01:31:10 AM
How many people on the Earth use PayPal and how many bitcoin enthusiasts accept risk of chargeback on PayPal to do all of their transactions with PayPal. With Bitcoin transactions, they can get privacy (if they know how to manage their wallets and use Coin Control feature in non-custodial wallets) and they can also get anonymity at some levels with Coin Join transactions or with bitcoin mixing services.

With PayPal, besides chargeback, you can not get privacy and anonymity so why should accept PayPal while people have better choice, bitcoin.
