2381  Local / Romānă (Romanian) / Ce planificati sa faceti cu BTC-ul vostru? on: May 05, 2020, 12:59:59 PM
De cateva saptamani ma gandesc la un posibil plan "de atac" pe partea cu cryptomonedele. Desi sunt in sfera crypto de multi ani de zile, niciodata n-am avut un plan concret de actiune. Acum ca vine si injumatatirea, m-am gandit ca o parte dintre voi poate aveti unul pe care mergeti inainte.

Injumatatirea e un subiect destul de fierbinte in perioada aceasta, deci ma astept sa veniti mai multi de data asta cu raspunsuri! Cheesy Asadar.. momentan ce faceti: acumulati, "hodl-uiti" sau vindeti BTC? Aveti un plan de actiune sau, ca mine, va asteptati surprinsi de miscarile pe care le va face Bitcoin mai devreme sau mai tarziu? Cheesy

At this point in time I think it's better not to depend on bounties that are trading, if the project is not a popular one it's dangerous to promote them, Cartesi was never listed until bounty is over and the team chooses binance, let's choose bounties wisely and don't fall for useless projects just because they are listed e.g AZBI
BitConnect was a very popular project (although not ICO if I remember correctly) and look at the damage they've done. Popular =/= legitimacy. There are lots of factors to take into consideration if you want to decide whether a project is worth the investment or not - popularity may be one of them, but shouldn't be the decisive one.
2383  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Bitcoin halving's 3 possible scenarios. on: May 05, 2020, 06:33:26 AM
I think it's quite evident to me which scenario I'd like to see the most. Cheesy But the little devil sitting on my shoulder somehow tells me it would be pretty interesting to see a completely opposite movement of the price compared to the past halvings. Chances are that The Boring Scenario (reminds me of Musk's flamethrowers) has the highest chance to happen out of all 3 though, but any of the two other scenarios would be very interesting indeed.

I'll probably take some food and sit in front of my TV looking at the charts, but I am aware this could actually be a waste of time. It's not like the chart's going to go absolutely wild once halving is finally in.

Good job OP, don't let yourself discouraged. Keep trying to reach your goals and maybe few people notice your work now but on the long term it's going to be worth it. It's just that your extension does not have much visibility as most people here chase post count and don't give a damn about serious subjects posted here. Smiley

Just wondering, you have mentioned in OP the following:
Quote
The extension is built with Rust + WebAssembly (fast!) for the verification library code. The library code is open source (..)

Does this mean it's entirely open source or just partially?
2385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Company's Cryptocoin Value on: May 05, 2020, 05:29:45 AM
~
1. How is the value of the coin calculated/converted to FIAT money?

2. Assuming the coins are NOT mined how does the co decide on the number of coins to release?

3. At what point does a crypto become trade-able?
~
I don't think there is any way you can value a company by creating a crypto. On the other hand, Rimac's motorcycle coompany shares were launched on the Ethereum blockchain but I honestly have no clue how that is supposed to work. Apparently, according to the website I have just linked, they were able to launch their own coin offering as shares through a legal binding between the investors and the company. That probably means you cannot sell or trade the shares as easily and anonymously as you can with other cryptos. Smiley



1. You can do it the decentralized way (e.g. Bitcoin) so traders value it or you could do it the centralized way (e.g. Tether) so you keep a centralized control over the price of your coin. Usually, decentralized is way more appreciated than centralized prices for obvious reasons.

2. Well, if you don't mine coins then I can only think of 2 possibilities: either the coin is PoS (Proof-of-Stake) or the supply is centralized. Proof-of-stake has advantages and disadvantages compared to PoW (Proof-of-Work) but if you're going to have a centralized supply then be prepared for quite a lot of hate from your investors and potentially interested people once they find out.

3. If it's decentralized like I believe it should be, then at any point. Once someone gets a hold of your coin, it becomes tradable through the peer-to-peer function of your crypto. If you get your coin on an exchange (you may have to pay some exchanges for enlisting your coin), traders will be able to trade it as usual too.

But again, I'd recommend 2 things:
 - Don't create your own copycat of another coin without developing it and adding unique features. It'll be considered a shitcoin and it won't be long until nobody will care of it anymore.
 - If you're willing to continue your idea, do it the decentralized way. It's going to be much more appreciated.
2386  Local / Romānă (Romanian) / Re: Aveti grija cu tranzactiile face 2 face !!!!!!!!!!! on: May 04, 2020, 07:36:38 PM
Sunt probabil cele mai riscante - niciodata nu i-as recomanda nimanui sa mearga sa faca o tranzactie f2f de acest gen singur si/sau intr-o locatie pustie/necunoscuta. Daca te vezi cu individul intr-o locatie mai sigura (ex: mall) dupa care, in urma tranzactiei, ai grija sa nu fie nimeni pe urmele tale, e cat de cat ok. Dar cum spuneam, e un risc pe care ti-l asumi odata ce mergi inainte cu o tranzactie face-to-face ..

N-am auzit niciodata de Jedaite si Alders - OP, ar fi ok sa lasi cateva detalii mai precise (de ex: unde ii putem intalni mai exact?) astfel incat sa stim cum putem evita o situatie neplacuta pe viitor Smiley
2387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why trading stablecoins is the most underrated way of making serious money on: May 04, 2020, 04:44:27 PM
Putting the fact that this post looks like an advertisement away, at a first glance I thought OP's main idea of trading stablecoins between them wouldn't work but I was left surprised after checking out Tether's markets and finding out that there is a TUSD/USDT pair with +860,000,000$ volume. It looks quite shady though - can't find a pair of Tether and another stablecoin with +$100M. Maybe wash trading? Huh

The basic idea makes sense and is a smart one indeed. But unless you have millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands to trade using this strat, you probably won't make much. On the other hand, you could buy at $0.99 and sell at $1.01 or $1.02 which, if automated, might be able to get you a decent growth even with smaller capital.. A 1% every trade doesn't sound bad at all. But how often does the price really go to the extremes of this 1-2% spread? If you can't do these trades fast enough and have a small capital, it's a waste of time for sure Smiley

I don't know man, I guess I'll never really have the guts to put a large capital on a centralized exchange to try this out. I have a habit of fucking things up whenever I try to make money so I just let everything roll according to what was meant to happen Cheesy
2388  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello anyone can teac me with any guide how to generate some money with bitcoins on: May 04, 2020, 03:37:34 PM
I will answer this thread by saying what you should not do: thinking of BTC as a money-making machine. Smiley Whether you start accumulating BTC by mining, signature campaigns, faucets, betting or anything else, without enough experience and patience you may fall victim to wrong choices or scams.

To earn BTC, I honestly think the best thing you can do is learn. The more knowledge you gather, the more you know when and how to act when something happens in the crypto sphere.
2389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2.9 BTC I found but think it's untouchable.please give advice. on: May 04, 2020, 03:25:56 PM
What you wrote is just a slightly expanded version of what I wrote in a previous post, which is really weird considering that you and others should read and not to repeating same things again. It doesn't seem to matter what is written, but who wrote it. I'm glad my post helped you write your own (if you read it). Wink
That is quite a bit of arrogance, no offense. I explained how I was able to get my own JSON file from a Blockchain mail dated back from 2013 or 2014, it was just an advice from personal experience.

To me it looks like you've been recently having a personal problem with me. Undecided No, your post did not help me write my own. But believe what you will. You could check my posts from years ago when I explained how I lost my wallet and then recovered it if you are that sure it's me copying your posts (I mentioned JSON only one reply above yours by the way..).

2390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China policy on Bitcoin on: May 04, 2020, 09:45:52 AM
~
What China has allegedly been working on for many years is a national cryptocurrency and if that project becomes a reality, the Chinese will adapt very quickly and no one will ask them for an opinion, they will be forced to use what the authorities impose on them.
~
It's quite official now, they're in the middle of tests already.



The Chinese digital currency is a double-edged sword. While it gets us a step closer to the adoption and interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I think a lot of people are going to say "Well, we already have a digital 'cryptocurrency' we are using and it's 100% legal, why try BTC out?". I can't wait until they start advertising it as a cryptocurrency built upon the blockchain tech and blah blah. It's going to be an interesting debate. Smiley
2391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The 2020 Bitcoin Halving: See what'll Definitely Happen. on: May 04, 2020, 06:26:40 AM

2. Bitcoin Mining: this is the activity that ensures that new bitcoins are generated and added into the already existing volume of Bitcoin in the market. These bitcoins mined represents the reward of miners.
~
The mined Bitcoin is added to the total supply, not to the market volume!


~
During the Halving speculators and investors expect that the Bitcoin price will surge because of the deflationary philosophy of Bitcoin supply,  Which is based on the basic principle of economics which states that centers paribus, price will increase when supply is lower than demand and vice versa.

So, this will give opportunity to traders to profit.
~
This is a misunderstanding of Bitcoin many have. Halving does not necessarily mean a price increase is inbound. There's a possibility that lots of miners and traders will move away from BTC post-halving, which would lead to a large decrease in demand. Decreased demand + smaller block rewards aren't a good combination for the price.

Supply does not get lower. It increases as miners keep their rigs on and the BTC network is sustained. Although block rewards decrease by 50%, the supply still increases by 6.25BTC/block.


~
1.In 2012 Halving: the mining reward was 50BTC starting in 2009 and it was halved by 50% which reduces it to 25BTC. In the same year the price of BTC surged from $12 to $1,038.

2.In 2016 Halving: The mining reward was halved by 50% which reduce it from 25BTC to 12.5BTC. In the same year the price of BTC surged from $650 to $2,526.

3. The Upcoming 2020 Halving: the reward of mining when reduced by 50% will declined from 12.5BTC to 6.25BTC.
~
AFAIK, late 2013 was the actual year when BTC first hit +$1k as that is the year I have joined this amazing project. 2012 had a max price of ~$100 if I remember correctly (might be my mind playing games on me).


~
1. The historical trend has shown that the two Halvings had corresponding rise in price of BTC.

So, will this 2020 Halving also bring about a surge in the price of BTC considering the coronavirus pandemic?

2. As the reward of miners is halved by 50% in every four years, by 2140 the last BTC will be mined.

So, miners will henceforth generate revenue from transaction fees but how will this be profitable to miners compared with their cost of operations?

~
I would not put all my trust entirely in the two other historical records. Bitcoin's market is only a bit past one decade. Needs a lot more time to take a real path which means a lot of unexpected stuff may happen. There are some miners out there doing their job just as a hobby, simply to sustain the network. If a lot of miners leave the network, there is difficulty readjustment to come in and help them out.
2392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming and Mobile Sport Betting May Be Legal After Covid-19 End??? on: May 04, 2020, 04:52:37 AM
Well, I don't think I've ever seen an online casino page tell me it's unavailable in my region nor have any of my accounts been blocked for living here so I suppose online gambling is legal in my country.

Online gambling becoming legal could've been foreseen a while ago as technology and internet coverage expanded, but I suppose there are advantages & disadvantages - the one I regret the most being the fact that social distancing will probably stay for a while with us and online gambling will only accentuate it. On the other hand, online casinos provide entertainment you can take anywhere with you Cheesy

I mean, I am sure Satoshi liked jokes but I'm not sure he liked cringe Roll Eyes

Satoshi is not on the forum anymore for the same reason many other top devs aren't (or may be only active in their own board). It's a shitfest at all time on the forum, there are so many members creating useless threads filled up with nonsense, BS or that have been discussed a gazillion times before, plagiarizing, bumping and advertising shitcoins, scams and so on.

For someone like Satoshi, it'd literally be a waste of time and you all would probably call him arrogant for not replying to so many questions about his personal life and/or why his coin isn't $1M already. No, Satoshi can't change the price in the snap of a finger. Bitcoin isn't Dove to have a fixed price in a store. It's an asset that changes its value 24/7.

Mie probabil imi stii deja parerea dar nu ma pot abtine sa spun ca, mai devreme sau mai tarziu, propozitia ta ingrosata cel mai probabil va necesita un edit Cheesy Nu ca ai fi tu de vina, desigur - inteleg ideea ca orice afacere trebuie sa se supuna legii in vigoare.

Apreciez gestul de a cere opinii din partea comunitatii si sper ca urmatoarele modificari/adaugiri d.p.d.v. legislativ al criptomonedelor in Romania nu vor intra "ca in branza" in noi, utilizatorii.

Din pacate, nu pot sa accesez site-ul tau prin Tor deci nu pot observa ce functii are exchange-ul vostru. Am observat insa ca multi au tendinta sa mearga pe exchange-uri tip Changelly (exchange-uri instant). Din pura curiozitate, o implementare a unui asemenea tip de exchange pe site-ul vostru ar necesita KYC la orice tip de tranzactie sau exista o anumita limita minima de la care s-ar declansa procesul de KYC?

Un sistem de acel gen s-ar putea sa va aduca un numar in plus de clienti. Combinat cu un exchange normal, ati avea un avantaj (zic eu). Smiley
2396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2.9 BTC I found but think it's untouchable.please give advice. on: May 03, 2020, 07:53:35 PM
If you're using blockchain.info to buy bitcoin way back, then you probably use blockchain.info wallet. The thing is blockchain.info wallet is on its earlier versions, its probably on its legacy wallet.

The "Send my Wallet ID" will not work because that feature is only for their new HD wallet same as the "forgot wallet ID".

What you have to do is find the blockchain legacy wallet's "Mnemonic Phrase" it contains 15, 16, 17 or 19 words, and recover your funds using this tool.
Blockchain had Wallet IDs back in 2013 too - my first ever account was a blockchain.info one and I still have my ID and wallet.json file. I see no point in advising OP to look for the mnemonic phrase as he already said he's been looking everywhere and the only helpful information they have is that ID.. as you can see below:

~
I have all my wallet numbers from Blockchain.com and all were checked out as I used the "forgot wallet ID" option there and it sent the list,I had some seed words written down too for who knows what but all have 0 BTC balances so I not concerned about them.

@cyptomania I'm really sorry to hear the bad news. I will try my best to help you out, maybe you can find the solution to your problem Smiley



The best thing I can do is proably helping you out by giving you archives from years ago of lists of exchanges that existed at the time. So here are some links:


The first ones should be the most helpful. There are lots of websites you have to go through, so best of luck.. hopefully you can find the good one for your ID Smiley
2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: All your entertainment things must have an external limiting feature, agree? on: May 03, 2020, 04:23:33 PM
I do agree that sometimes a limit is necessary. But those who want could easily cheat the system: just go to another online casino and continue the session. Smiley So a limit could be helpful as long as it's not mandatory to limit yourself. There are plenty of great websites out there so there's always a way to evade the limit.

This would also affect casino owners. If you implement a limit, all your players willing to cheat the limit will move to another casino owner's pockets. Cheesy
2399  Local / Discutii Servicii / Re: Prima tranzactie in Wirex BLOCATA! on: May 03, 2020, 03:59:53 PM
Multumesc din nou pentru raspuns. Momentan incerc sa gasesc o banca care este mai "flexbilia" din acest punct de vedere. Despre Wirex am vazut multe recenzii cum ca ar fi "crypto-firendly", insa se pare ca am inteles gresit acest termen. Am folosit Revolut si nu am avut probleme, insa la fel am citit ca si cei de la Revolut blocheaza conturile cand atingi anumite limite. Am zis sa ma pregatesc si sa am un cont "crypto-friendly" insa nu a fost o alegere buna. Nu recomand Wirex! Am vazut multe recenzii negative pe TrustPilot.

Credeti ca un cont business ar rezolva aceasta problema ? Nu vreau sa ma sustrag de la plata taxelor, vreau doar sa stau cat mai linistit cand fac P2P trade.
Indiferent ce banca sau serviciu ai alege, daca va considera ca a avut loc o activitate suspicioasa, exista riscul sa te intrebe ce, cum, de unde, pentru cine si de ce. In momentul in care te angajezi intr-un contract cu o banca sau o platforma, iti asumi riscul. Tocmai de asta si spuneam ca eu m-am indepartat acum multi ani de zile de platformele centralizate - mi-a fost contul blocat pe o platforma dupa ce am depus bani pe ea spunandu-mi ca trebuie sa le dau buletinul si alte documente daca vreau sa-mi retrag banii. Abuz si sabotaj, dar am incotro? Am bifat ca-s de acord cu termenii lor ..

Dupa ce am patit-o, mi-am schimbat directia si chiar daca e putin mai incomod, e mai sigur.

Pe TrustPilot trebuie sa ai mare grija - daca te-ai uitat cu atentie, o mare parte din recenziile negative au la un moment dat ceva de genul "but this amazing man John helped me recover my BTC - here's his address, contact him if you've lost money too!". Sa nu contactezi acele persoane, o sa pierzi timp si eventual si mai multi bani decat ai pierdut deja. Smiley Cand verifici pe TrustPilot un site, ai grija sa te uiti la comentariile care nu au recenzii de genul.

Nu stiu ce sa zic de conturile business. Ti-as da un sfat, dar chiar nu m-am bagat vreodata pe partea cu bancile. Stiu doar ca bine ar fi sa fie evitate complet. "Peer-to-peer" tocmai asta ar trebuii sa insemne: sa poti face o tranzactie fara sa te increzi intr-o parte terta precum bancile, motiv pentru care ti-am dat alternativele la Paxful din raspunsul anterior.
