I re-quote my own message (minus a few typos because I typed it from mobile) :


It's honestly scary how some members are already exercising some sort of peer pressure on each other. I'm not going to call out any specific names, but people need to start realising how much power they have and how much power they don't. For anyone that belongs to either DT1 or DT2, stop giving individual opinions too much attention.

When you include or exclude someone, stand by it. If the MAJORITY of the network calls you out on it, then maybe you should reconsider. Actually, even if you don't, everyone else is going to exclude him, proving my next point ->

Regardless of the opinion of the minority, that is what they are, a minority. ALL DT1 nodes are equal in this system, so are all DT2 nodes. When someone calls out some shit on your list, you need to know that they have the exact same influence you have. We're trying to decentralize trust for this exact reason.

Each opinion counts.

If this line somehow changes from "Each", to "5 people and their proxies" (because if you modify your list according to these 5 people, then you're a proxy to their own judgement), then the whole system falls back to what it was before.

A few people really need to re-assess how much influence they think they have, and a lot of other people need to start losing the inferiority complex if they're an active node of the trust list.

This dust deanonymisation technique would only work on a few wallets where you can't control which coins or addresses you spend from. For it to work they rely on you to consolidate your inputs into one transaction, linking them together and effectively confirming that you're the owner of those addresses.


Its not a good analogy to assume the feds arent extremely aware of cryptos just because there are no regulations on it. Security and Intelligence agencies know probably a lot more than we think. Remember Vault7?

I tried both and you're kind of right on average. But there are two other factors :

Nicehash only rents a minimum of 50 TH/s, I'm just hobby mining so at that rate I might as well just buy my own antminer.

Average prices are lower on nicehash, but there are quite a bit of outliers on mrr too, since I'm only looking for a few THs , it's actually a lot more competitive too. But I agree that if you plan to rent a PHs or more nicehash would be more profitable.

Thanks! Turns out the ckpool solo pool might have something wrong? .. I'm not sure as I'm totally not knowledgable so I had to ask, here!

I was going to send a PM again to ck but thought maybe I'd ask for a community answer to have the opinion of different people, I'm trying to rent a few rigs and gamble a little of my funds on this.

I tried miningrigrentals and I had a miner with a slightly high rejection rate, ck told me it's probably the firmware of the miner and I'm inclined to believe him. I was going to try nicehash now, I used this : https://api.nicehash.com/poolver.jsp

Error: Difficulty too low.
Your pool is shown as incompatible therefore we encourage you to contact pool operator to make sure that the pool is using minimal/starting pool share difficulty which is compatible with our service (and thus compatible with today's miners), please send them following link: https://www.nicehash.com/help/which-mining-pools-are-supported. Thank you!

Can this be related to the fact that ckpool solo hasn't hit a block in months? I'm honestly a complete noob with miners so I'm just here asking for more info. Thanks.

I've been experimenting a little with miningrigrentals, but I'm not sure where their prices stand from the community's point of view. Is the price per TH of sha256 good? Am I better off getting it from somewhere else?

Also related, I'd also be interesting in renting an small amount of hashrate (anything between 3 - 10 TH/s). So if anyone would be willing to lend me some TH for a few weeks send me a PM!

Hint for permutations? :p Shit's case sensitive

Is it really a bad thing though? Honestly, as long as they give the option for people to be in control of their private keys, it's a big difference compared to centralized solutions like coinbase.com. The rest just becomes marketing and word of mouth. If a user is just slightly knowledgable and do just some superficial google research, they'll be able to figure out the basics at least. Or we could just start threads here and there to let people know the danger, in case Samsung's alternative solution makes them in control of something they shouldn't have.

But to sum it up in one line, I'd honestly rather see the average Joe use bitcoin with baby-proof solutions, rather than see him discard the idea as a whole because it's too complicated. Especially because this average Joe is going to become the most likely target of easy scams in the future.

For altcoin bounties I rarely see them use signatures as the main promotion medium. It's almost always twitter, telegram, and all sorts of social media spam marketing. They know their target audience and they know that the forums shun ICOs, in the boards I frequent the most I think I see one out of 6 people with a bounty sig rather than a service signature.

Of course the spam happening in the bounties section is pretty dumb, but I'm not going to comment on that to keep this on topic. Even if theymos said he doesnt explicitly like sig campaigns, he asked for possible improvements to how signature campaigns are ran here, take the chance to improve quality of life for managers/campaigners.

I could see a few suggestions myself but since the forum wants to stay detached out of all of it, it becomes tricky. One thing would be a better thread management of some sort to help campaign managers recruit new users. Sorting commenters by rank, maybe filtering them using merit, and so on to make it a lot faster to clear out the noise.

For users that want to participate in these campaigns, a simple notification on title change would do wonders. Campaigns open up and close new spots constantly. If someone who already applied, could be able to be notified once the title changes from CLOSED to OPEN, it would help them stay up to date.

Honestly it doesnt look like it, Samsung are way too big to use coinbase for something they can trivially implement themselves.

Apparently you'll be able to import existing wallets or create new ones recoverable with seeds, which means you obviously control the private keys.

The biggest part about this is that its not just a bitcoin wallet.. Which is HUGE imo.. Samsung has a fucking massive market share, if they market not only bitcoin, but also other altcoins to people this is definitely going to blow up.

I'll need to check those wallets later. Its true that theres a risk since you're sending your coins to a centralised entity, but thats a problem thats not even solved by current mixers. Theres bound to be a point of trust somewhere along this type of transaction, using a smart contract would be possible for a simple coin mix, but I cant think of an easy way to "implement" the investment part.


I think you misread, if you even did read my post. I dont want to use casinos to mix my coins. I want a bitcoin mixing service, to have the option to let users invest funds into its bankroll. I think I explained it pretty clearly.

DT means DefaultTrust.

DefaultTrust is now changing into DT1 which is the main list, and DT2 which is a list of users that were collectively included from DT1 members.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust Click here and scroll to see the list of DT1 members

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095156 This is the thread about the changes to the old DefaultTrust

Arsenal win!

I was going to call a draw, but Arsenal needs to get this title. Risky bet against win-streak united, but maybe it'll pay out. Cheers!

I made a thread a while ago about investing in gambling site bankrolls : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068178.0

Someone bumped it just recently, and because of my new signature two cables just connected in my head and a light bulb lit up.

Has anyone tried a service to mix bitcoins using crowd funds?

Just like you would invest into a gambling website, you'd invest into the bitcoin mixer balance.
The mixer gets profit off of fees from people intending to hide their coins, and part of that fee goes to the balance of all the investors.
This not only will create a complete fuckfest of txes from multiple people & addresses, which will help make mixing the coins a lot more efficient, but at the same time split up the coins to be mixed across a whole lot of users rather than just spending them to another client wanting to mix his coins.

Hmm, I can understand how confusing it would be, maybe a rule like :

if(forum.rank < newbie)
   if(twitter.followers < 1000)
      bootFromCompetition();

Because I personally think this opens up room for abuse, one person would only need about 6 accounts to make it into cloud 3 with one of them. But I know it's a hard job to filter them, soo.. your competition your rules

For my pick I'll make it later today probably after I'm meeting up with my buddies I'm an Arsenal fan so it's really a pickle of a game for the first game.

That's actually pretty ballsy of you. How do you trust Cardano that much? I'm assuming you bought the dip and sold it at the top, even if your trade screens only show trades above a price of 0.042.

But don't you fear dumps? How do you know the dip will pick up and not keep going into a downtrend when one happens?

I JUST came online to check this out again, I'm actually happy you're the one who got it Congrats!

Also I wouldn't worry about the hint in the address. I'm sure if people didn't get to the 2nd step they're probably unlikely to go further even if you revealed it.

I feel you, I PMed another guy which I'm sure has no clue this thread even exists.

I guess you also found this person who literally was Never active since he made his account.

I still think these puzzles are a lot clearer than a few other ones, where you literally don't know if you're right or not simply because everything is so convoluted.

LOL. What kind of person are you Loyce, counting your chickens before you even have the eggs?

I reached a dead end yesterday so I forgot about it for the rest of the night. Mostly lost hope because you were ahead of me by a single step probably. Maybe I'll try to pick it up again later, I like how both the puzzle before and this one make it very easy to know if you're on the right track.

Thanks! I've updated my sig & forum picture.
