Copy:
Deutsche Bank has issued a market briefing for 2018. The document, created by Chief International Economist Torsten Slok, lists 30 possible threats that could disrupt global markets next year. Alongside entries like “North Korea” and “Brexit”, is bitcoin. Its inclusion shows the extent to which the banking sector is eyeing the revitalized digital currency. While some institutional investors see bitcoin as an opportunity, many more consider it a threat.

Posting a link would have been nice: Deutsche Bank: Bitcoin is One of theGreatest Market Threats in 2018:
Deutsche Bank fears in 2018 (#13 on their list):
Quote
"Bitcoin crash, confidence impact on retail investors"
From the same article:
Quote
What Deutsche Bank’s risk list fails to consider is the other threat faced by bitcoin: that the digital currency sucks air out of the rest of the banking sector. Bitcoin isn’t about to render every other global asset class obsolete. Nevertheless, if it were to continue its stellar ascent, investment banks face a quandary.
I wouldn't expect bankers to admit they fear something they can't control, and bankers fearing Bitcoin is nothing new.
Banks make up a huge part of the economy, and take a huge share of money without producing anything tangible. Banks are like the goose with the golden eggs to bankers, of course they fear anything that threatens their goose.
24444  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 200,000 Unconfirmed Transactions Pile Up in Another Crazy Day for Bitcoin on: December 08, 2017, 10:01:14 PM
Exchanges are doing great business, with over $21 billion in Volume (24h). At just 0.25% fee that's over $50 million revenue.
I still blame the miners for the small blocks: they used the NY Agreement to stop the UASF, activated SegWit, promised bigger blocks, but then didn't do it. The reason: miners love earning 5BTC in fees per block, that's $100,000 extra, on top of the block reward, every 10 minutes!
Miners don't care that Bitcoin's practical use is being killed. A $10 fee isn't even enough anymore to make a fast 200 byte transaction.
With just 2 MB blocks, these 200,000 waiting transactions could be processed within a day, and the backlog would be gone for another year. That would give Bitcoin some breathing space, until Lighting Network or whatever other scaling solution they come up with is ready.

I don't really care how Bitcoin is going to scale, I just know it's taking way too long to do so.
Higher fees are for sure not going to make transactions faster, it just means we all pay more, and we all wait anyway.

It's not just "some amount", Cloudflare would know everything, including the private keys ChipMixer gives you.

Theymos' theory is that Cloudflare is a honey pot made by authorities, we can't know that for sure, but we also can't rule it out.
24446  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What command under linux to generate wallets with value on: December 08, 2017, 04:59:57 PM
So it must be sorted by date, I know that this data is in the blockchain just a question- how to get it out.
If I have all 50BTC wallets, can I write a script that checks the last move date on that wallet and load it a list of these 50 BTC wallets.
There are several threads about parsing the blockchain, for example:    
How to read/parse blockchain and get bitcoin addresses having balance.


Can you explain what exactly you're looking for in those addresses?
24447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Blocks with no transactions - 498218 on: December 08, 2017, 04:33:41 PM
How could this be possible?
Miners can do whatever they want, it's entirely up to them. They decide.

There are usually two reasons for this to happen:
1. Fees are low, and miners are trying to force people to pay more by skipping all transactions with low fees (with current high fees this is very unlikely).
2. The previous block was found shortly before this one, and miners don't want to risk orphaning their block, so they quickly complete it without transactions. Block 498218 was mined 10 seconds after block 498217, so I think this is the reason.

This makes me curious though: how long does it take the mining pool to select transactions to put into a new block? I would expect this to take only a few seconds, which makes "12.5BTC now" an odd choice if they can get "12.5BTC + 4BTC" a few seconds later.

24449  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO][BKB] BetKing Bankroll Token - Tokens distributed to your account on: December 08, 2017, 08:29:53 AM
What I thought was investing in the casino bankroll, means bankroll profits get distributed among investors and not that your investment gets locked in FIAT
It was explained like this:
Token Price

The total funds raised will determine the price per BetKing Bankroll token.We will take the total value of all funds at the current exchange rate at the end of the crowdsale to determine the total raised funds.E.g. If we raised $1,000,000 then the price per token would be $0.014 (1,000,000 / 70,000,000).

This must be the worst "about" information ever typed on any website!

Under that, they show this:

After sending in data for "enhanced" verification, the system said it would be processed within 10 minutes. After maybe 6 hours it was actually processed, and I can withdraw again.
I especially dislike how Bittrex demands a selfie, you're not my girlfriend! What's next, asking me to send nudes?

No other company has ever demanded that, all banks and exchanges need at most a copy of my passport.

Looks like after two months only two of the altcoins have outpaced BTC, I'll be curious to see how this thread looks in the end of 12 months, I suspect a similar trend will remain.
It's 10 months, not 12.

Quote
Do you have any suspicion why PPC and ARDR were able to succeed where the others failed?
Luck? I don't think there's much logic behind cryptocurrency prices.
Both coins already lost their profit. Alts are getting slaughtered with Bitcoin up more than 30% in just one day, and many alts going down 30%.

If it was a long time ago and you are sure that you have mended your ways then approach Lauda and ask him to review your inclusion in the blacklist.
It's not only Lauda, yahoo62278 has him blaclisted too.

I was rejected by ~ Bitlogic. I really don't know why.
That was me Shocked
Obviously I don't remember all details of all accounts, but let me check again and tell you why.
It has been mentioned already in this thread, but indeed, the reason is posting only on Altcoin boards. I see you've recently switched to Gambling, Services and Economics (after creating this topic), but in my opinion you shouldn't adjust your posts for a signature campaign. It should be the other way around.
My own signature doesn't pay for posts on Altcoin boards, I'm totally fine with that, but that doesn't mean I can't post there.

For BitLogic's Signature Campaign, posts on altcoin boards were not excluded (although I was considering to change that), but I wasn't looking for participants who only post there.
If I look at the second page of your post history, I see:
6x Speculation (Altcoins)
1x Announcements (Altcoins)
8x Altcoin Discussion
3x Speculation
1x Bitcoin Discussion
1x Trading Discussion

But also, you start many posts like this:
I think ...
I agree ...
I thought ...
I suppose ...
Yeah ...
Sure!

Have you read hilariousandco's https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0? Especially this part:
Quote
a typical spammer's posts will often follow some sort of pattern which will be immediately obvious upon inspection and will usually consist of one or two sentences of rehashed opinion posted as fast as possible with the minimal amount of effort being put in. A quality/constructive poster will generally have no pattern to their posting history and will have posts ranging from one word to one sentence to several paragraphs and everything in between and this is what you should be aiming for.
Almost all your posts have the same pattern of 3 to 5 lines text. That can't be a coincidence, and seems to me you're "trying to be constructive" by typing posts long that are enough.

Most of the people who applied to BitLogic's campaign ended up on my blacklist, you didn't. But you weren't what I was looking for in this campaign.

This makes me think your harddrive is "cluster f*cked".

A file can be corrupt in two ways:

1 - The software (in your case bitcoin core) had a failure when writing the file
2 - Your harddrive failed and corrupted the file

In case 1 you can ask for extern help -> copy the file, hand it over and let somebody try to recover it
In case 2 you can NOT ask for extern help by handing out a copy of the file since you can not hand over the harddrive index and cluster build.

24456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Strange Transaction while Tranferring BCH after the August Fork on: December 07, 2017, 12:14:56 PM
I expected the transaction appear in the ledger identical to the former ledger in Bitcoin core, but some strange things happened:

Some entries emerged with a different date/time than in the original ledger

There was an extra transaction spending some bitcoin (about 0.05) to an obviously valid address (confirmed more tha a thousend times, the client tells me). The amount spent was exactly the amount needed to bring the balance to zero after that suspicious transaction.
That means someone already claimed your Bitcoin Cash.

Quote
Now I am very reluctant to import the very last private key, which should receive about 2 Bitcoin just before the fork.
Can you check the address (NOT the private key!) in Bitcoin Cash Explorer?
And while you're at it, also check it at Bitcoin Gold Explorer.

Quote
Does anyone have an Idea, what could have happened with this additional transaction?
It sounds like someone got to your private key.

Quote
Should I add, that after the fork and before the just mentioned procedure I transferred the original BTC to a new address to a different wallet on yet a third machine, where they emerged just fine in the expected amount.
At least you secured your Bitcoins, that's something Smiley

After copying this into Electrum, I get this transaction.

Note:
1. Sending payments to multiple addresses is always scary and I check everything 3 times.
2. My wallet is set to mBTC, I find this unit to be most convenient.
3. I've set Electrum to not use change addresses, that's why the remaining funds are send back to my own address.

This campaign is on hold now, effective immediately.

Rules:
12.  We reserve the right to change this campaign at any moment
Unfortunately, I have to use this now:
We need to put the campaign on hold for now. We're working on a more complex promotion strategy now. We will re-start the campaign once we've got more mentions and ongoing PR-activities
You can now remove/change your signatures if you want.
If the campaign continues later on, I'll send all current applicants a PM to ask if they want to join again.

Thank you all for joining, I'm sorry the campaign has to end early. I do hope the new promotion strategy will be more effective for BitLogic, so we can continue this campaign at a later time.

I still have some posts to count. All qualifying posts up to now will of course be paid:
Payment for a very short week 3: 2d1b444fe63159032cc03bbb01e623bfc08d08bfa387d028fc6310a0bb96ccbd sent!

4 days later: finally confirmed! Sorry for the low fee, I didn't expect fees to rise that much for so long.

I'll also PM this to "Parodium", "J. Cooper", "elegion", "949miner", "treather", "orions.belt19", "Beerwizzard", "Baofeng", "MakeMoneyBtc", "chiggz", "User365", "phreakk", "kuroman", "teddy5145", "MissionPhailed", "dillpicklechips", "bitcoin revo"

Microsoft Bitcoin Miner for solo mining.
~
I am up to around 1000 Sitoshi's now
There's two things wrong here: First, I doubt Microsoft has ever created a Bitcoin Miner, so I'm pretty sure it's fake software you're running. Second, with solo mining you either find a block (and earn just under $200,000), or you get nothing. Solo mining won't earn you 1000 Satoshi.


What you should do, is remove that software, make sure your computer is absolutely clean, and forget about Bitcoin mining. You're 8 years too late for that, it's a specialist job now.
24460  Other / Meta / Re: What are we going to do about the Shitposters? on: December 06, 2017, 01:14:54 PM
I've noticed almost everyone who has an ETH-address as Location: in their profile is just posting spam.

Most new accounts don't make a single post, and have random nicknames. Could it be they're trying to find a proxy that doesn't require a payment to get rid of units of evil?

and delete mega spam-threds.
Since many spam megathreads have been deleted, many Newbies open random BS threads on their own. I've seen Newbies with more topics opened than replies made.
I've reported much more posts and topic lately, but there are much more spammers than "good guys".

Would it be an option to charge a fee to create an account? Not just based on units of evil, but every new account has to pay a small amount. Start with $2, adjust if necessary.
This is small enough to not discourage honest people, but becomes expensive if an account farmer gets 100 accounts banned.

BTW: When reporting posts, the 4 seconds between my reports often make my reports fail.
