It seems lapo is using X11 as it's POW algo. AFAIK, there are several ASIC's on the market for X11 hashing (like the D3, but AFAIK innosilicon, spondoolies and baikal all have X11 ASIC's on the market), so they wouldn't have had to figure out a way to do this, it should have been pretty straightforeward.

These X11 ASIC's have been around for a long time, somebody just has to use them to mine this altcoin (disclaimer: i don't usually visit the altcoin subforum, i don't know LAPO, i have no LAPO, i'm not a LAPO miner,...).

Do you own one? Just seems a bit suspicious you joined the forum and your second post is made to vouch for a wallet that has been pushed by a newbie whose first post was pushing the wallet.

Don't get me wrong: i have no problems with a company opening a thread on bitcointalk in order to promote their product and answer potential customer's questions... However, i feel they should do so in an honest and open way, not by paying people to pretend being happy customers or people that have "accidentally" found this wallet and want to know more about it.

They show the link in the description of the video the OP posted.
That being said: i wouldn't trust a company that hired people to join forums and post links to their video disguising an advertisement as a legitimate question (i have no proof, but my gut feeling tells me that's what happening here... I see no other plausible explanation why a new account would post a link to an unknown video that only has about 700 views).

I'm not saying this hardware wallet isn't good, i'm just saying that i personally wouldn't use it because i don't like the advertisement method, the website and i don't see an advantage over other, wellknown, trusted hardware wallets.

This video only has ~700 views, how did you stumble upon this one? My gut feeling tells me you're somebody who is payed to promote this wallet instead of a "regular" user who is asking questions here (but that's just my gut feeling).

This being said: i had to turn off the video, all text is in korean??? and the voiceover isn't that good either (IMHO).

Upon visiting the website, i got a bad vibe... Why would anybody reputable try to start an ICO... People that start an ICO for funding give me the shivvers (personal opinion).
The page selling the HW wallet is only partly translated, the amounts are only in some currency i don't know (no idear how many USD or EUR such a HW wallet would cost).

I'd stick to a ledger or a trezor... They are cheap, made by somebody from the community and they're trusted.

That's correct, i was talking about the hardware wallet. I own a ledger nano S for my altcoins and a trezor for my BTC. Since your private keys never leave your hardware wallet, it should be perfectly safe to use.
Ledger has it's own wallet GUI (at least, they used to have their own wallet, i still have it installed on my home pc), but you can also use it with myetherwallet. If you use it together with myetherwallet, it doesn't really matter if they use cloudflare since your private keys never leave your physical wallet anyways (the only thing that can happen is that cloudflare can link you as a person to an ETH address)

I use my ledger for ETH... I don't know if this is an option for you, but since it only costs like hundred bucks, i personally think it's well worth not having to use a web wallet.

bookmarked!
I've missed bech32 support on the explorer i usually use (blockchain.info), this one looks nice.
A couple questions/remarks:
- It might be nice to be able to export the tx hex.
- Is there a need for a "search result" page when looking up addresses, transactions,... IMHO it would be "nicer" if you'd immediately show the page with the transactions funding the address i was searching for, or the overview page for a certain transaction.
- It might be a good idear to show the address's public key once unspent outputs have been spent (since you don't know the public key beforehand)
- since you're running a node anyways, it might be a good addition if you added a page where people could broadcast or decode signed transactions
- is there an api available (to lazy to look around on your site)
- if you try to sign up, there is a russian placeholder instead of an english one: "AДPEC ЭЛ. ПOЧTЫ"

Let me repeat the same link i posted in the very first reply, it should answer any and all questions you have about merits can be earned:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+how+to+earn+merits

You can actually change the parameters of this url if you want to... For example, if you want to have information about the merit system, you could visit:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+information+about+merit+system

If you want to know more about the ranks and requirements since the merit system was introduced:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+merit+new+rank+requirements

An other option would be to use google search directly from bitcointalk's search console (click the magnifying glass at the top right corner, enter your search phrase in the box marked "google search")

One (rather obvious) thing that hasn't been mentioned by previous posters: if you're sure you mined some BTC, and either the wallet file or at least the pool's url + username are stored somewhere on your harddrive, please CLONE your drive before you start working on it.

Buy a drive of equal size (or bigger) as the one storing the crucial information, plug the "important" drive + the empty drive in a PC, boot from a different medium and clone the important drive to the empty drive.
An alternative can be to plug the "important" disk into a pc or laptop, use an external usb disk of equal size or more and boot from a bootable linux usb stick.

If you use a linux bootable usbstick, you can use dd to clone drives...

Some information:
create a bootable linux usbstick: https://unetbootin.github.io/
a guide on cloning with dd (the first one that popped up in google): https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/centos/171/linux-disk-clone.html

By cloning your "important" disk first, you make sure that even if things go wrong, and you mess everything up, you still have all the data you had in the fist place, so you can at least start over from the same point as you are in right now...

The problem itself isn't hard to understand, however i have some trouble with understanding the correct timeframe...

How long ago did you request a withdrawal, when did you start sending emails, which replys did you get at which point in time?
I don't think it's completely unreasonable if a company doesn't want to keep >10BCH in their hot wallet because they're afraid of hacking, however if they decide to pay out big wins manually, they should have a procedure to handle these withdraws swiftly. I'd personally consider next business day and/or 24 hours as a very reasonable timeframe... But like i said: i have troubles understanding when these things happened

Also, some screenshots wouldn't hurt, at this point it's just your word against theirs. In the scam accusation subforum, you'll find a stickied thread detailing how a scam accusation should be formatted so the community can read about your story in a standardised way.

Anyways, good luck with your accusation, i hope you'll get the BCH in the end.

here you go: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+how+to+earn+merits

The ONE thing you defenately shouldn't do, is open a thread asking a question that has been asked at least 100 times the last month and post it in the wrong subforum. If you do this, you'll end up on ignore lists from people that have smerit to spare...

Veel geluk met je website...

Heb wel een klein vraagje:
Heb je aan de intellectuele eigendom van de images die je in je design gebruikt hebt gedacht? Ik had namelijk het gevoel dat ik een aantal van die images in het verleden tegengekomen ben op de website van een bank, het voelde allemaal wat te bekend aan voor me. Dus heb ik eens 3 random images uitgekozen en onder de loep genomen:

Image: https://www.getbittr.com/images/index/image-1.png
(mogelijk) Origineel (gedeeltelijk) te vinden op: https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/economie/artikel/4294886/bitcoin-maakt-grote-sprong-weer-bijna-7500-dollar-waard

Image: https://www.getbittr.com/images/backgrounds/bg-1.jpg
(mogelijk) Origineel te vinden op: https://www.valuejagers.com/blog/de-drie-elementen-voor-succes-op-de-beurs/

Image: https://www.getbittr.com/images/index/image-2.jpg
Origineel gevonden op een royalty free stock photo site, dus OK

Pas wel op: dit is zeker geen beschuldiging, het kan mijns inziens perfect zijn dat alle gebruikte images allemaal royalty free zijn, of dat er betaald werd voor het gebruik. Ik wil je echter behoeden voor een vette rekening van één of ander advocatenkantoor voor het onrechtmatig gebruik van foto's

 Zoals ik al zei: de reden dat ik me hierin verdiept heb is omdat ik dacht dat één van de beelden van de website van een bekende bank kwamen, en dat ik niet kon geloven dat die bank gebruik gemaakt zou hebben van stock photos (maar ik bleek het verkeerd te hebben).

Well, that's more or less what i meanth by my post (i might have worded it wrong, was a bit tired and english is not my native language)... That doesn't mean i'm comfortable installing the .net SDK on any non-sandbox machine. AFAIK, it's closed source, released by microsoft and it clearly states they can actually collect data and send it back to microsoft when you read the TOS...
I don't think it'll ever be included in popular linux distros because of these parameters (closed source, propriatary, data collection).

I know electrum needs python3, but i'm far more comfortable installing an open source python binary on my machines compared to some closed source microsoft framework that clearly tells you they'll probably be sending data back to microsoft.

But that's just my personal gut feeling... Everybody has to decide this for their own, and it has little to do with this wallet

I'm just a unix sysadmin who develops as a hobby so i'm not really proficient in all these testing standards, but these steps you posted in your previous post sound about right

no problem
I was still editing my respons while you were already quoting it (a bad habit of me).
I guess the answer was given in my previous post:

- regtest mode is a local environment, you start a bitcoin (or altcoin) daemon in regtest mode and immediately generate one or more blocks. These coins are 100% local, and can be used to test out application. You need to connect to the daemon that was started in regtest mode in order to run your tests.

- the testnet is a real network. Most existing coins have several people running a testnet node, there are a couple of miners that mine testnet blocks. The testnet usually behaves exactly like the main net, except it's usually a bit less predicatable due to fluctuating hashrate and other people using it for their own tests. Testnet coins are worthless to

I prefer testing on the testnet, since it mimics the main net much closer than running a daemon in regtest mode.

When you're talking about "testing the blockchain". Do you mean you've created your own blockchain from scratch, or do you mean testing an application that used one of the existing crypto currencies  to accept payments, store smart contracts in a blockchain or store data in a blockchain?

If it's the first case (built your own blockchain): If you developed your own blockchain from scratch, this question should be very easy for you...

If it's the second case (using an existing blockchain): Most establised crypto currencies have a main net, a testnet and regtest mode. The testnet and regtest are usually used for testing new software applications.

Since i like testing out open source wallets, i cloned your github repo and i've built this wallet on a sandbox system.

I haven't vetted the code, so don't take this post as a vouch for this wallet! I just wanted to give you an opinion of the wallet running on my sandbox system. There are many positive points, but i decided to give some feedback on the things i'd personally change if it were my project. That way you might get some feedback that can help you in improving your project.

• build process: i must say i wasn't a fan of an open source wallet for which i needed to download .net's SDK on my linux box... I would have preferred a different language. However, i must say the build process ran smoothly. For my main system, i don't think i'll be downloading .net in order to run this wallet tough
• initialisation of the wallet: I'd personally prefer it if you forced the users to repeat the mnemonic words and their pass after the initialisation... That way you're more or less sure they did take some kind of backup (clear the clipboard between these steps so the user can't copy/paste the mnemonic)
• Overall look: a bit to dark for me, but that's my personal preference
• Coinjoin feature: i found it strange to see the minimum amount to register for a coinjoin session is 0.05007 BTC... I for one am not going to risk >$300 (in fiat) to take a testrun of this wallet
• Ease of use: i think anybody who has used a wallet in the past will be able to use this one...
• Wallet features: i'm missing coin controll features, multisig, signing of messages, export features (like the xpub or unsigned tx's), address controll, signing of unsigned transactions,...
• I also browsed your documentation, and did find how to setup a backend node on the testnet, however i could not find the configuration parameter i need to run the wallet itself on the testnet... I must admit i didn't read everything thoroughly... => ~/.walletwasabi/client/Config.json

All in all, without reviewing the codebase for backdoors or flaws in any other part of the code, i must say that it's a nice looking wallet with most of the basic features one would need... However, i think you'll have to work on adding additional features and lowering the minimum amount to enter a coinjoin sesssion. It might also be a good idear to let the user pick a different color scheme to make things a bit less dark.

I disagree..

What if the exchange locks your account?
What if the exchange gets hacked?
What if the exchange turns scam?
What about a mitm attack?
What if you fall for a phising link?
What if your pc gets infected with a password stealing virus?

If you are not the only one in controll of your private keys, you are not in controll of your funds.

Do not store your funds on an exchange longer than you need to complete a trade... 2fa authentication or unique passords will not save you from these attack vectors (except the last one)

I had never heared about this one, did some research... It turns out aml bitcoin is just some altcoin. This has nothing to do with the discussion about bitcoin wallets.
Edit: but then i went trough your posthistory, and found out 100% of your post are promoting this altcoin, leading me to believe you are just a payed shill so you are not really in here for bitcoin discussion, but merely to spam for your employer

That's an urban legend: https://www.linux.com/learn/myth-busting-linux-immune-viruses
Linux is not immune to virusses, however it's security model is built in a different way than window's security model, next to this the amount of desktops running linux is smaller than the amount of desktops running windows (so a virus writer will be tempted to write a windows virus instead of a linux one because a windows virus can do more damage due to the amount of potential victims)

Also, AFAIK, both sandboxie and malwarebytes only have windows binaries available, it's no use to tell somebody to switch to linux AND use sandboxie or malwarebytes

I'm a longtime member, and even i have 3 or 4 electrum wallets on my PC (i seldomly use them tough, i've switched to hardware wallets a long time ago)... I guess it all depends on you:

• Do you run a recent version of your OS
• Do you download unknown programs from unknown sources
• Do you open email attachments
• Do you have a recent firewall installed
• Do you have an up-to-data virusscanner
• Do you install OS updates/patches on a regular basis
• Do you tell other people you hold BTC?

In general, if you keep a small amount of BTC on a pc with an up-to-date OS, virusscanner and well configured firewall, and you don't install unknown programs or open unkown emails, you should be relatively* fine... Even if you have multiple wallets on your pc.
There is a bit of a discussion about which OS is the safest. Personally, i think that *nix OS's are safer out-of-the box AND are safer if they're hardened by a seasoned user. But in case you don't know anything about *nix and you do have some experience managing windoze boxes, you might be better off sticking to microsoft products instead of trying to configure an OS you're unfamiliar with...

If you hold a bigger value in crypto currencies and/or you don't think you have the experience/will to run a tight system, you might be better off with one of the following methods:

• A hardware wallet
• A properly generated (bip38 encrypted) paper wallet
• An (encrypted) offline/cold wallet on an airgapped PC

*relatively fine: in the past, security flaws have been found in popular, opensource wallets... So as long as you run your wallet on a pc that is connected to the internet, you're never 99.9% safe.
