24381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin transaction has gone to a random address on: December 14, 2017, 10:54:32 AM
My wallet says received x amount of bitcoin but also sent x amount (same value) with a balance of 0 bitcoin.  Has my bitcoin been sent somewhere else?
It sounds like your wallet has been compromised.
I have no experience with Gatehub, but the general advice is to consider your computer compromised too. Don't use that wallet again, clean your computer, and start over.
24382  Economy / Auctions / Re: 75 - FEATHERCOIN - Starting Bid $.01 - 54 Hour Auction on: December 14, 2017, 10:10:24 AM
Why auction it, if you can just exchange it? At current rate, Bittrex gets me 0.0018BTC for 75 Feathercoin. This is worth $29 at the moment.
That gets me 0.1LTC, which costs 0.01LTC to withdraw. I just don't know the minimum to withdraw from Bittrex, if this doesn't work, Ripple might work if LTC doesn't.

Either way, a very safe bid: $1.02 Tongue
24383  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HitBTC.com - The most advanced cryptocurrency exchange on: December 14, 2017, 09:36:16 AM
It's the first time I see this thread, I've used HitBTC before to trade BKB tokens, and didn't realize hitbtc has red trust for years already!
I'm lucky I didn't get scammed, recently it gets more and more scam allegations, and now the website doesn't work anymore either. I have less than $1 left on there, it's not enough to trade/withdraw, so they can keep it.

I only used HitBTC because it was the only exchange trading BKB, and I assumed Dean choose a trusted exchange for the tokens. I don't understand why they would do this though, they charge very high listing fees, running an exchange is supposed to be very profitable without scamming!

I was planning to sell my Bitcoin Gold through them, that ship has sailed now.
24384  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Question ]Moving from non HD wallet to HD wallet. Should I do in 1 tx or many? on: December 14, 2017, 09:19:41 AM
And no, there shouldn't be really any "risk" into submerging all your bitcoin in one transaction, to one adress.
The risk is your privacy. If you own a total of 0.1BTC, I wouldn't worry about it, and add it all together into 1 address, to safe on fees in the future.
But if you're holding a large amount of money, you should keep different addresses and smaller portions to pay for stuff. You don't want your local coffee shop owner to know you hold $100M in Bitcoins.

To safe on fees now: if you're not in a hurry you can set quite a low fee, and just wait for it to confirm someday. Or check this fee estimator and make the transaction when it says 40 sat/byte again (probably on a quiet Sunday).
24385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ☃☃☃ The #1 Factor Driving Bitcoin Prices ☃☃☃ on: December 14, 2017, 08:54:31 AM
People are investing in bitcoin, not because they believe in the future of the currency, but because they want to pad their pocketbook.
People invest in Bitcoin because they believe it's future value will be higher. This goes for all investments!
Nasdaq.com shows this graph for Amazon's P/E ratio:

This doesn't mean it's worth $237.14 to earn $1 per year, it means the investor expects future profit to be higher.

Warning for newbies:  The tellingly-named “ShortCoins” is spamming the forum with FUD.
His nickname says it all Cheesy
It's typical for people who missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin when it was cheap. Feel free to short Bitcoin if you believe it'll drop soon, but it's a very good way to lose all your money if Bitcoin keeps going up.

Almost anybody has an agenda. I used to say whales love triggering stop losses, to get your coins cheaper. And I used to believe the long-term-trend will be up (which I still believe BTW), but I only recently realized whales also love people who HODL forever and never sell anything, because if they would sell, the price would be lower due to increased supply.

TL;DR of course fear and greed control market prices.

You have exceeded the limit of 30 personal messages per day. Buying a Copper membership may increase your limit.

That came up. But never sent 30 messages😂
How many PMs can a Newbie send now? I found different numbers:
Newbies - Read before posting: Newbies can send 5 PMs per hour
Newbie eula: 2 PMs per day.

- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.
Does a Copper Membership also reduce the waiting time between PMs?
24387  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Quick Question on: December 13, 2017, 09:06:44 PM
Does anyone know of a good messenger to use until I can get more than 2 messages per day?
According to sticky thread Newbies - Read before posting, Newbies can send 5 PMs per hour.  If it's reduced to 2 messages per day, it's probably because of the recent ICO PM spam.

Quote
I'd like to do business on here but it's a tad bit hard when I can barely respond lol. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You can try a Copper membership, but I'm not sure if this increases the PM-limits too.
Or wait until you level up.
24388  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Idea how to solve the too many forks issue on: December 13, 2017, 08:55:54 PM
What if we build a server that automatically spins multiple forks of BTC at every single block Smiley
A fork is more than just a block, a fork is a chain that continues.

Quote
This way it will be known beforehand that there are already at least 20 slightly different forks off every block, and adding more forks like the recent and upcoming ones will be a lot less attractive.
You can't create and maintain thousands of new forks per day.

Quote
Please share some thoughts, I personally feel this might work and get rid of the fork mania.
A fork is only worth something if people want it. To have value, it's hyped. Your million new forks per year won't catch any attention, so they'll only exist on your own server.



Some history: First, there was Bitcoin, then we got altcoins/shitcoins, then mainly scam ICOs running on code is law forkcoin Ethereum, now we have Bitcoin forks.
I've been wondering for a while what the next money maker would be, and I came up with this: forks based on blocks in the past! Think about it: until now, all forks are anounced and hyped weeks or months ahead, to gain momentum. Wouldn't it be a genius step to just fork from block 100,000 or 400,000? It's like hitting a reset button on blockchain, and you continue from there again!
Suppose you just sold all your Bitcoins at block 444,444: you create a fork at block 444,443, and you own all your coins again on a new chain! Hype it, and sell them again.

On a more serious note: I expect the number of forks to increase, it's an easy money maker. Fork > premine > profit!
What we need to stop this madness, is a scaling solution for the real Bitcoin.
24389  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Need some good faucet on: December 13, 2017, 07:42:19 PM
What you "need" doesn't exist. Faucets are a waste of time, and even if you get a very small payout, it's "Bitcoin dust", which means it's too smal to use as the fee required would be higher than the total amount you got.
24390  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: I'm buying BTC in Germany and Switzerland! on: December 13, 2017, 12:07:20 PM
I don't know why every single post here that is about buying or selling bitcoins must have people who try to find scam in every trade. Not everything is a scam and every one here who try to sell something or buy it is a scammer.
This is exactly what all scammers say.

Quote
I can offer security for any one with convenient office of well known Swiss lawyer who can handle this kind of a business.
Why can't your 30 years experience Swiss lawyer find a legit exchange to buy Bitcoins like anybody else does?

Quote
And tell me, how can be this in any chase risk??? What lawyer with 30 years of work and reputation will scam us?
I trust lawyers even less than I trust bankers!

Quote
Yeah is possible, but also is possible that car will hit you by the way to store and you end up dead.... So if you look at this way sure, everything is a risk, so best is for you to stay home and talk about it on forum.
That car can hit you too, trying to redicule sensible comments does not make you look more reliable.

Since you've created this thread, Bitcoin has gone up in value fourfold. It doesn't matter to you of course that you get 75% less Bitcoin for your money.
24391  Other / Meta / Re: "Report to moderator" function broken on: December 13, 2017, 11:07:13 AM
I've noticed the same problem. The forum itself is a bit slow, but reporting posts is many times slower and often gives an error. My most recent error comes from Cloudflare: "Error 524 - A timeout occurred".

Does reporting a post require more resources than posting? When I delete a post it also takes longer than when I post one.
When I have many posts to report, the 4 second timeout between posts is annoying already, but this huge delays make it virtually impossible to report them. And I don't want them to get away with spamming!

I can open the Report-tab in about 2 seconds, but most of the time I can't actually report the post.
24392  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Account lockout and non-return of money (Yobit) on: December 13, 2017, 10:56:52 AM
IDK about what you did exactly and not sure if spamming with micro orders is banned in other  exchanges too
haven't heard about other guys getting banned for that reason
If they don't want micro orders, they should set a minimum order size. It's a very simple limit to create.

Considering the many complaints about Yobit, it seems to me they just make up excuses to lock accounts and take funds.

That didn't stop him:
This weekend on December 10, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) began its first trading sessions. Since then the introduction of bitcoin-based derivatives held on a well-known mainstream exchange, the news has injected a surge of positivity into bitcoin’s spot markets. Moreover, the price of Cboe’s futures products has been trading wildly starting off at the $15K mark and has reached an all-time high of $18,650.

Over the Past Two Days, Cboe’s XBT Markets and Bitcoin’s Spot Prices See Wild Fluctuations
Two Days of Cboe's Bitcoin Futures Show Intense Volume Fluctuations Cboe’s bitcoin-based futures one-month bitcoin contract (XBT:1) started trading this past Sunday, and is currently up over 8 percent higher than bitcoin’s spot price. BTC spot markets have been on a tear leading up to the mainstream derivatives products with a global average hovering between the $16,900-17,200 region. Cboe’s futures products are a different animal and contracts are cash-settled based on the BTC price data provided Gemini in U.S. dollars. These exchange-traded derivatives products are bets on the future price of bitcoin and investors wager on whether the value will be high or low. If the price of bitcoin rises or dips, the contract holder is paid out based on how much the value has climbed or dropped within a specified time-frame.

24395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Two stuck transactions, over 24 hours later, mycelium issues... on: December 12, 2017, 08:53:03 PM
I have two transactions which have remained unconfirmed for over 24 hours. I've tried rebroadcasting them but it seems not to be working.
Rebroadcasting does not increase your priority.

Quote
If there are any miners here, can anyone help me out and try to manually drop these transactions so that I can retry with a higher fee? Heck, if there are any miners here who can push both these transactions through, I'll gladly send you $10 in Bitcoin for the help.
Those miners now want $10 in fees for that same small transaction. Miners can only confirm transactions, they can't drop them.
Check https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx, required fees for a fast confirmation are 14 times higher than what you used. Best option is to just wait. If you're very fast at the right moment, you can add them to https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/.

24397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Strange behaviour when trying to restore old wallet. on: December 12, 2017, 03:17:56 PM
Sadly 4,000 QRK are virtually worthless nowadays.  I guess this can be a good lesson to anyone looking at altcoins.  I'll see if I can sell them but for such a small amount I'd guess that the fees will make it not worth it.
Most popular altcoins from just a few years ago are completely forgotten, and I expect the same to happen to the current top 10.
Your 4000 QRK is worth just over $50, traded at Cryptopia. The 0.003BTC is barely worth the fee to withdraw, but you could exchange it into a more common altcoin again.
At it's peak your 4000 QRK was worth 1BTC! I've said it before: altcoins are created to get your BTC from you.
