No need to check. Its a scam. Systems dont work. Nobody gives away 1BTC.

I agree, this is impossible. Always-win and get-rich-quick are always scams. There's no free lunch anywhere. With Dice games, you may win some, but more likely you will lose. It's like any Casino.

I contacted Sasha Ivanov, founder of Waves, about the linked address 1NGfrU4YNp8dox1gLeUDyjD5Vpfck9no5j that has 4800 BTC from Waves ICO.  His response was that if the project is successful, he is going to distribute our coin as dividend to Waves holders.
So, even the largest (so far) whale in our distribution is a kind of collective investment entity.

Could it become a potential threat for the Byteball system if the parties like Waves and Lisk and others will hold 10% of byteball for a fairly long time and won't distribute the coins to their investors, especially when they are in competition with Byteball? It may be not a bad idea to block their BTC addresses for the next distribution round if they don't distribute their coins from this round to their investors before the next round.

This is not a bad idea to block all ICO funds from getting Byteballs, as they are in the competition and it's not going to help us in anyway, unless they agree some sort of collaboration.

a lot of pools but not much people mining actually!

What is the current network hash? maybe it's a good coin to mine. Dev commitment is good, if they can make it a platform with smart contract, it may have a great future.

If I linked my BTC address for the first distribution, do I have to link the same address again for the second distribution?

BTW: Interesting crypto, and thanks for the bytes!

I think if you donīt move your funds, there is nothing to do to receive more in the further rounds

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for the info!

I think it's not a problem you move the fund around, just need to make sure you put the fund back to the address linked before the snapshot of the second distribution. Your linked address always linked, the fund counted only at snapshots.
265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 26, 2016, 09:45:36 AM
i got nothing.
address linked properly.

i can see it on http://transition.byteball.org/

Which version you use? you need to upgrade to the latest 1.0 in order to receive byteballs and blackbyteballs. Using version 0.7 not working.

Still no exchanges? this is a hot coin... possibly because the architecture of this one is so different from other coins that exchanges will need some time to implement  Smiley

Yeah very simple math but you calculated it all  wrong.   Try to correct your calculation first before putting an argument over something that deals with math.  I am not that good in math either but your calculation is obviously wrong, and this as I said is a bonus in an ICO , basically they will get their token (amount of investment) and the bonus from the next investor who also get their token equivalent to the amount they invested.  And it seems you reply in a wrong account Smiley

I don't see where I calculated wrong? you don't have any calculation and likely you don't get (or pretend not to get) the simple math. No I am not greenclover, I just try to explain as I see someone does not seem to understand it  Grin
268  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does a President Trump mean for Bitcoin? on: December 26, 2016, 12:21:55 AM
Trump didn't like bitcoin because majority of abuse in the black market using bitcoin. Trump promised to investigate any US businesses were involved with bitcoin, this is very confusing for me.

Trump only concerned with dollar. But precisely because of this, bitcoin exchange rate will rise.


Not sure I understand you... if the dollar is strong then bitcoin will be weaker, as bitcoin is denominated in US dollar. This is like the gold, when dollar increases, gold usually fall.
269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin address generation completely random? on: December 26, 2016, 12:05:57 AM
I am always wondering this question. Of course from the computer science point of view, nothing is really random. You have a random function which may use system timestamp as a seed, or combination of mac address, computer architecture etc. So if I try to generate the bitcoin address using the similar conditions that Satoshi once had, maybe I can generate his address with a larger probability and may succeed one day, and get his lost treasure, lol. Though sounds not easy, but it is still possible, right?


You will never successfully generate Satoshi's addresses besides you need the wallet private key not the public address. It's not possible. A Bitcoin address is effectively (not truly) random although it's derived using a 160-bit hash of the public portion of a public/private ECDSA keypair. Using public-key cryptography, you can "sign" data with your private key and anyone who knows your public key can verify that the signature is valid.

How to create Bitcoin Address
Take a private ECDSA key

Take the corresponding public key generated with the ECDSA key (65 bytes, 1 byte 0x04, 32 bytes corresponding to X coordinate, 32 bytes corresponding to Y coordinate)

Perform SHA-256 hashing on the public key

Perform RIPEMD-160 hashing on the result of SHA-256

Add version byte in front of RIPEMD-160 hash (0x00 for Main Network)

Perform SHA-256 hash on the extended RIPEMD-160 result

Perform SHA-256 hash on the result of the previous SHA-256 hash

Take the first 4 bytes of the second SHA-256 hash. This is the address checksum.

Add the 4 checksum bytes from the end of extended RIPEMD-160 hash. This is the 25-byte binary Bitcoin Address.

Convert the result from a byte string into a base58 string using Base58Check encoding. This is the most commonly used Bitcoin Address format.

Bitcoin addresses are the pubkeyhash (not pubkey) plus version and checksum information, encoded in base 58.
Bitcoin address = version + RIPEMD-160(SHA-256( Public Key )) + checksum

This is not the point and the question is not about it.

If you try to randomly generate a key, then it is impossible (or virtually impossible). But the key pair is not generated completely random. It uses a random number generator which depends on the seeds. So with these clues it will not be completely random any more.

There's no such thing as a computer generated truly random number but the difficulty of using brute force to find a computer generated Bitcoin private key would take : pow(2,128) / (15 * pow(2,40)) / 3600 / 24 / 365.25 / 1e9 / 1e9 or 0.65 billion years.


Your computation is fraud. again this is NOT about randomly generate bitcoin address and then match. If you look at how the address is generated, the GetNewAdress() function, eventually call certain random function, the random seeding is generated using a utility function:

inline int64_t GetPerformanceCounter()
{
    int64_t nCounter = 0;
#ifdef WIN32
    QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER*)&nCounter);
#else
    timeval t;
    gettimeofday(&t, NULL);
    nCounter = (int64_t) t.tv_sec * 1000000 + t.tv_usec;
#endif
    return nCounter;
}

which gets its seed from the system time. If I set system time back to 2009/2010, and repetitively generating bitcoin address using these seeds, my chances hitting one of the addresses used that time is definitely much higher than your computation, which assumes I pick up a random seed.

Got it now??

Here is the GetNewAddress function:

CPubKey CWallet::GenerateNewKey()
{
    bool fCompressed = CanSupportFeature(FEATURE_COMPRPUBKEY);

    RandAddSeedPerfmon(); <== which will eventually call the GetPerformanceCounter
    CKey key;
    key.MakeNewKey(fCompressed);
     ... ... ...
    return key.GetPubKey();
}

lol, this is just a trick from dev to trick you guys "the investor", it is so simple: for level 1 members, the dev team will get about 90% proceeds, level 2, dev got 70%, level 3 dev got 40%. Now if you are level 3, you pay more, sounds like you will get more, but no. Although you get equivalent 60% from others (4x2.5 + 4x5 + 4x7.5), but most of these are small potatoes, you get only possibly 1% of what you paid. Dev will likely get 90% of your contribution. If you invest 0.02BTC, you may get more if next 4 has a big fish.

Given the ICOBID itself has nothing, this ICO is like a gambling game, with small amount (0.02) may worth it, with bit ones (>1) is a definite loser. I will avoid it, better go to Casino for a much fair game Smiley

Hmm.. where did you get your analysis?  Your math calculation is broken.  Anyway, this is no trick nor like any gambling game.  This is simply a bonus to people who are interested to BUY ICOBID Token during ICO period.  


Good analysis. Can be a small gamble with 0.02-0.05 BTCs, is certainly not worth anything more than that. It is a dev's get-rich-quick scheme.

I have to praise the "dev" with those deceiving and very original ideas, they may cheat a few people but certainly they don't cheat intelligent people  Smiley

How could a broken math calculation a good analysis?  So being generous is now cheating?  Tell me more about it.  I wanted you to details your idea.

This is simple math, and it's not a math class here. I think it is very simple, you get 2.5% from the next 4 buyers, so one buyer next to you will give away his 2.5% 4 times to others as bonus. In this case dev will get the rest 90%. For level 2 you get additional 5%, for the 4, etc. So dev will get a percentage between 40-90%, most likely on the higher side. For those who get "bonus", if you paid 10BTC, your next 4 each paid 0.02 BTC, you will get 4x0.02x2.5% for your level 1 bonus, similar for level 2 and 3, you end of getting maximum something like 0.048 BTC << 1% of what you paid.

This is simple math. dev used a convoluted way to give a wrong impression, fortunately not everyone stupid here, lmao.

So the conclusion as other people said, using 0.02BTC to get max out of it, it's probably like a gamble, anything beyond it is not worth it. Don't be stupid.

There's nothing here that will get people to be interested here,this is another crapcoin,newbie account, large premine ready to dump when it entered exchanges,I hope nobody support this coin,this is another shitcoin in the making.

How many coins to be created by newbie? Do you think only use the buzz world like "future", "world", "great", "innovation" etc etc are enough to get your copy-paste coin going anywhere? Too many jokes here.

I was read here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zcoin/#social.

Zcoin forkv1 coming block 14000, make sure to replace/clone the new repo here asap: http://github.com/zcoinproject/zcoin … @BittrexExchange @nova_exchange


This is new version XZC wallet?
https://github.com/zcoinproject/zcoin
This is Poramin's version?

No. That is Gary Le version.

Rule of thumb:
 zcoinofficial = Poramin version
 zcoinproject = Gary Le version

There are two versions now?? I thought they are from the same team? Is it mean the dead for Zcoin? what happened to MTP or some new protocol/algorithm?

After his one post OP is not coming to his project to respond the members and to support his project. He is either gone forever or maybe he will be busy in Christmas. By the way no one here invest in ICO which do not have any escrow.

Newbie launched ICO, do you really expect anything? It is a joke for me that so many newbies are doing ICOs. Back to old days, the team who did ICO at least get their names verified and publish some pig head pictures. Now it is pure scam (and hope from dev's part).

lol when I read this, I thought it is a new coin called "Jingle bells" and seeking for a big and successful ICO!

Why not a high school kid to this:

JUNGLE BELL: the best cybercoin payment platform in the world, it will conquer the universe.
ICO Plan:
12/25-26: 100% discount: only 1 BTC per JUNGLE BELL
12/27-30: 50% discount: only 1.5 BTC per JUNGLE BELL
...

ONLY 10,000 JUNGLE BELLs sold, will become 10,000 BTC per JUNGLE BELL in 5 years!

Bitcoin and more broadly the blockchain technology is absolutely the future of financial system. Many banks are preparing the revolution of this. In future years the banking system will undergo a revolution with blockchain.

Certainly financial and banking industry will change big due to blockchain technology, but it will not be the only industry, insurance, contract, stock trading, even document keeping etc can all use blockchain technologies.
