They might be looking at how much the domain is worth (eg for exit scamming)...

They'll be able to change the redirection whenever they want.

If anyone wants a mnemonic to write down/remember for the chars that appear:

The same link loycev posted has been in my signature since around then and has been used.

It's useful to come back to this topic and see if anythings changed just before you go to use it though - even if it hasn't changed in almost 4 years.

I'm going to assume it's set by a smart contract that determines the block height and whatever function is being used.

The main interactions originally were issuing loans and taking loans (even if its possible to buy things like cdai on uniswap). I'm assuming the block height or the amount of assets that are stored determines how much interest you pay and how much compound grows (people normally have to collateralise 150% of their loan value as well).

Back for 4 hours if anyone wanted to give the lightning network a try. I'll be here again in a few days too...

Maths has two different types of algorithms, linear and non linear.

Linear algorithms follow rules such as for addition:
As input x gets bigger and output y gets bigger, output z will get bigger.

The other type of algorithm is non linear for example taking the remainder after a decimal:
Regardless of the size of the input, we know the output will be between 0 or 1.

The sha algorithm uses blocks that are of the same size and runs a function on each pair of bits to return either a 0 or a 1 as an output for each bit. This is essentially the mathematical problem being solved.

(the problem with trying to fudge the numbers for non linear algorithms is that it's much harder to guess what second it is than what day it is)..

I don't mind the zooming tbh and I don't think most of us do.

I'm not sure how easy it would be making this forum mobile friendly too, would you put user stats at the top of posts or have it in the current format?

There was a mobile app for the forum. That used to exist but it made the forum kinda small and I think it was quite untrusted too.

You might be better off designing something and taking it to Theymos.

There are simpler versions of the forum you can use for browsing though too if you don't want to zoom but I don't think you can reply to posts with those.

This assumes bitcoin has been going for over a century. At that point, miners are going to have to ensure the chain remains attractive for transactions to be made on it.

If it's not attractive to use, it's no longer innovative and could just die out. Within the next 10 years we'll probably see the price stabilising some way, and miners and developers might make productive differences to the chain (eg increasing block size). I like the interval of 10 minutes for this chain as we have the lightning network for other transactions and altcoins like ltc.

A lot of people seem to be just gambling on these markets anyway. You won't get much follow through from ta on pairs like btcusd because you've got random manipulation to factor in if someone just dumps their coins or sends large amounts of coins in one transaction...

Not everyone has the patience to hold onto their strategies either which might be where a lot of the gaps come from as well as speculators just buying because they're dcaing or something.

I'm thinking it could be replay protected. Try to find a converter online that can convert your address or test it in an electrum gold wallet with one if your private keys. You might find it has funds that way.

Edit: the new address could be the one the funds have been sent to, what does it begin with? "G"?

This week and potentially this month are quite an optimistic time to invest. We're below the ath and have a good chance (in my opinion, at some point) of breaking through it - potentially soon.

If you're planning on holding for a while too there's even more of a benefit to investing now, once news articles start getting heavily interested in bitcoin I'd say you might want to consider selling back to regain your initial capital as a crash could be over the horizon.

Do you know where the funds were sent from? You could try looking to see if you can find the address your coins are at now and search them up on an explorer like blockchair.com.

Can we stop calling gambling trading?

If you're putting all your funds on a trade (especially if its leveraged) you're not trading well, you're trading with high risk (gambling). It's like putting a bet on the horse with the best odds, you're going to lose more than you win in most cases.


That's kinda crazy... I think Americans are taught to put a lot of value behind their arbitrary units (/fiat) too so it must've felt like a massive blow to him.

I think it's mostly good what you have so far. I'm not sure on ht elower percentages, you might be able to look at coins like bat and see if there's a way to make that amount up by using the browser and the others might be good for tokenomics right around now.
Bitcoin dominance is also really low at the moment though so it might be woth loookin at its all time low and seeing when the best time might be to convert those coins into bitcoin (if that's what you're after acquiring). If you're doing this for a long term hold thing then you might want to keep up this diversification as it will help to propagate your funds further in case a chain gets hacked or something (sure it's rare with btc or eth but they're probably the ones most people will attempt to attack, the most secure ones but also the highest reward for attacking)

Some of them probably won't be here to stay though - like bcash (hopefully).
I don't even recognise about 5 coins in the top 20 by market cap too...

Have you looked up a chinese currency on forex markets?

They don't want anyone trading it. They randomly hyperinflate their own currency to encourage people to invest their funds or to spend (I don't know if they give warning on that or if it's random).

Also, countries generally don't want to trust other governments (the European commision combined with the common wealth was very good at bringing a lot of economies into one umbrella and removing the "xenophobia" against governments). The two, now split, will likely be able to do that but as a single cooperation scheme it was quite big.

It's a shame they don't do this when we're not in a bull run. They'd look so much better if they waited a year and could show better returns too.


Bitcoin isn't really friendly to individuals though. It has an unforgiving nature and high fees which are both quite problematic (my bank don't charge fees on anything).

So at the moment, it looks like another payment provider might be needed - at least until a time bitcoin can scale better.

I think some European countries had no capital gains tax after a year also so you could move to one of those.

There are stocks you can invest in that manage funds and assets (eg miners) in crypto hardware over in the UK im not sure if there's the same over there but it might be worth trying to search for a "blockchain etf" that covers the industry BUT these come with less reward in the immediate term.

It's likely the premium paid on funds like grayscale are for the benefits you can achieve with it but it might still be worthwhile as it's a one off tax and not a compounded one.

There's your answer. I'd say put 10% in if it's a good project and less if it's higher risk.

A good project that fills a niche shouldn't matter how much you put in first (eg if you do 10-100x on it, then you've doubled up at least just from the 10x.

You're also less likely to sell at a loss if you don't care about how much you've put down.

If you want to rate your portfolio, call the mutual funds an asset type 6, bitcoin and eth of type 7 and new coins/low caps of 8 and cash derivatives of 1.

What proportion were 1, 6, 7, 8. What proportion are you happy with (eg I normally treat crypto on its own but did you lump them all together to get 25%)?

I'd add a warning that in trying to search the company it brought up another one with a similar name in a similar area: https://www.forexbrokerz.com/brokers/richfield-capital-review

While the name is quite generic it's generally problematic for a lot of cases and normally isn't done (eg you probably wouldn't be able to register the name they're using anyway and I don't think their disclaimer mentions being part of another company).

If you can find nothing from them I'd either just leave ut or experiment with a little bit of funds on their platform.

You might be able to post them your email address and phone number to their address registered in Switzerland to see if they're traceable if they aren't legit (assuming you need identity information to even rent a PO BOX in most places).

Risk management is normally the issue in this circumstance. If you've got a good trading strategy and a good chance of winning in trades (>50% normally but preferably >70%) then that's what it'll be.

Most people seem to mitigate this by offering signals either directly to someone or on a group.

If you want to trade, don't risk more than 5% of your portfolio on a trade, and try not to make hops that can scare you (eg set up a trade late at night if you've just deposited so you won't check how it's doing while you're asleep).

Tether seems to have a transfer fee of $20-$100, I'd recommend litecoin or something with enough security that's accepted on other exchanges and is cheap to send (like decred).

For cashing out with a fiat exchange I'd look for comparisons on their costs and see if there are ways to reduce them (eg some sites have a "pro" version that's cheaper for handling trades and withdrawals).
