261  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: is een tweedehands bitcoin hardware wallet veilig? on: January 28, 2018, 09:12:03 PM
Als je toevallig nog een desktop of laptop hebt die je niet meer gebruikt dan kan je deze ook gebruiken als wallet. Ontkoppel netwerk kaarten en zorg dat deze op geen enkele manier met het internet kan verbinden. Vervolgens download je een wallet met offline signing functionaliteit bijvoorbeeld Armory, dan controleer je de digitale handtekening en de bestanden kopieer je naar een USB of SD kaart. Dan run je de installer op je offline machine, het liefst een schone installatie. Maak een wallet aan, en noteer de mnemonic op een papiertje. Nu heb je ook een veilige wallet, misschien nog wel veiliger dan een hardware wallet aangezien hardware wallets hun broncode niet volledig openbaar stellen. Desktop wallets doen dit wel, het is zelfs mogelijk om deze vanaf de broncode te bouwen.

This is sad and I really wish I can help you. Its painful loosing money online. Maybe you can write to support or something and you should be more careful next time with your coins
I do not know that either it can be recover or not, but i do not think  that there is any mechanism to recover your money that you lost by mistakes, onece the transaction is done it cannot be reverse, therefore it is too much important to be much more carefore while sending bitcoin or any other altcoin through exchange as we cannot recover the fund that you will lose even by mistakes.
The funds would've been recoverable from this mistake if he had sent it to a real wallet, meaning no centralized exchange that keeps your private keys. Also Tether shouldn't be using the same address prefix as Bitcoin, that makes it very confusing. If they just used a 'T' as prefix then this mistake couldn't have happened.

You don't need a hardware wallet to store you Bitcoins safely, an air gapped machine will do the job too.
But it takes a bit more time to set-up as you have to verify the authenticity of the executable/installer and make sure your machine is not infected nor connected to the internet. I also think it's a better practice to do it your own way however I understand that non-technical people rather just buy a hardware wallet.
264  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies to crypto cut that negative shit out about Bitcoin. on: January 26, 2018, 10:59:55 PM
You're right, I've been experiencing the same thing and not only here.
Yesterday, I was watching a replay of a news broadcast that included a interview regarding Bitcoin. The comments on the video where all about Ripple being the best crypto currency because it had the biggest price increase or people claiming that VeChain is a much better crypto-currency than Bitcoin (Without any arguments). For me these two were the most remarkable, as the first one doesn't have to-do anything with the currency itself and second one is just so wrong because VeChain isn't really a crypto currency but rather a platform.
265  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tax question on: January 26, 2018, 06:33:07 PM
They can't actually know if you didn't give any personal information to exchanges.
But in my country you won't pay any tax if your coins are valued under 25.000 euro, so 2 Bitcoins wouldn't be a problem here.
It might be worth to check your countries' tax regulations.

I sent USDT to BCH bitcoin cash address, is there any way to recover this?
It is more than 10 days and nothing in both sides  Cry

Give us more info,from where you send USDT and what service/wallet you use for BCH?If you have private key for that BCH address the problem should be solved relatively easily by creating account here : https://www.omniwallet.org/ and then import BCH private key to get access to USDT.

If you send USDT to some exchange then you need to contact their support and hope they can help you.
i sent it from one exchange to another, i submit support ticket but no replay
Most exchanges are very strict with this, may I ask you what the value of the transaction was?
I've seen posts here that there are exchanges willing to recover your funds only if the transaction had a value of at least 5k USD.

You don't have to use it, see it like an extra feature.
As for scaling, it is a solution to reduce scaling problem because even if only 100 people would use then they still used less space than that they would do with a normal transaction. A blocksize increase to 8Mb isn't a infinite solution either.
268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What price does a coin get listed on an exchange? on: January 26, 2018, 12:46:47 PM
The price is based on the demand and supply, users can decide how much they want to pay/get for a coin.
Exchanges don't sell coins themselves nor do they decide what the price will be.
269  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is bitcoin core wallet safe? on: January 26, 2018, 12:19:39 PM
The Bitcoin Core wallet is very safe, you can download it from bitcoin.org.
Make sure that you verify the signatures before running the installer/executable as you don't want to coins be stolen because of faulty software.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dont invest all your Bitcoin in 1 source on: January 26, 2018, 12:09:09 PM

if we distribute bitcoin to another altcoin is good at top 20 rank in coinmarket for sure we are less risk. Especially the newbie what they are buying does not know the value of the coin they just make them hyper groups. So Controversial Remember that your bitcoin is very dangerous if you invest in a different coin. Investigate before invest.

Diversification is good, but buying other alts is not diversification!

A diversified portfolio is one that doesn't move in syncronisation (the idea is that you don't lose everything because everything moved down at the same time). Alts tend to move with bitcoin, so they arn't ideal for diversification.

If you want to diversify, sell some coins and put money in land, or gold or bonds.

Well, I can't say that I completely disagree to what you said. The trend shows that altcoins are also following the same trend as bitcoin. When bitcoin goes down, majority of the alts go down as well. But only the majority of alts, not all. In real investment world, we have concept of "contra fund" which literally means "Contradictory fund". This particular fund is created to make profit in the falling market by buying those stocks/assets who usually goes up when the market is red. If you have tracked the stock market closely, you will see that when a stock market enters red zone, Gold and Silver prices goes up because investors then try to hedge their position by buying these precious metals. This is the same technique used by the contra funds.

I have been tracking the crypto market since a long time now and I have seen few such coins do exist in the market. When the crypto market enters red zone, these coins goes up. However, I am not getting a very clear picture because of the number of altcoins we have but I am trying to get to a definite point.

I encourage the OP and you to track for the same and probably we will be able to point out some definite alts which is showing such kind of behavior. I am not able to devote much time to these because of my jobs and other commitments, but if we can find these, it can be proved as a very nice hedging for us.

But whatever you said about diversification, I too agree that one should not invest in coins only to safeguard their positions. Real world investment like Gold, Bonds, bank deposits are good tools to have as an investor which can support us in difficult times.

I remember that there were only three altcoins that had a positive growth last collapse.
For me these three coins were totally new, so I assume their growth was due to their coin being added on a popular exchange.
It could have a different reason but it's a reason why a lot of altcoins suddenly make big growths.
But to make my point, 3 out 100 coins is just a gamble.


271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If the BTC crash, will it take every other coin with it? on: January 26, 2018, 11:52:10 AM
Yes it does, look at the current charts.
But may I ask you why you don't believe in the future of Bitcoin?
In my opinion there isn't one coin better than Bitcoin, altcoins are just copies of Bitcoin with no history.
272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dont invest all your Bitcoin in 1 source on: January 26, 2018, 11:39:08 AM
I don't agree with you, Bitcoin has shown for years to be very reliable.
Also altcoins tend to follow the price of Bitcoin but on a decrease seem to be decreasing more than Bitcoin itself.
Besides that, what uses have other crypto currencies that Bitcoin hasn't?



273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A lot of newbies buying the wrong coin. Be carefull! on: January 25, 2018, 08:33:59 PM
That comparison is made in favor of Bcash, it's just propaganda.
Your comparison doesn't even mention SegWit, which is a big advantage of Bitcoin, it allows Lightning transactions on the mainnet.
A stable lighting implementation for Bitcoin Core will make all altcoins unnecessary, including your Bcash.
Lightning transactions offchain, not on the mainet. Watch the video and repply me again after doing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k14EDcB-DcE
Segwit makes 0 confirm transactions (faster than LN) unsecure, how is this an advantage?

LN will never work, is too difficult and expensive to open and close lightning channels.


PS: BCash is a fork of ZCash (https://medium.com/@freetrade68/announcing-bcash-8b938329eaeb), I was talking about Bitcoin (Cash) this kind of uninformed comments just make the enviroment more confusing to the newbies.
After you close the channel it will be broadcast on the mainnet, like the video also mentions.
There is a reason why I mentioned 'A stable lightning implementation', sure there are some problems that we don't have a solution for yet but does that mean we never will? Increasing the blocksize is too easy and just adds more centralization. If Bitcoin would be subjected to the same blocksize increase then I wouldn't be able to keep my node running, because it would cost my to much space.

275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still worth mining bitcoin in 2018 ? on: January 25, 2018, 10:58:28 AM
My question is if it's still worth buying Asic's and start mining BTC in 2018.

If not mine BTC what other coin is it worth to mine nowadays?
Of course it is still worth it to invest in bitcoin mining. actually mining bitcoin gives the fastest return of invest compared to other investment in just a year you will get your ROI but it is still depends on how much hashing power your mining hardware setup or how effective it is. if you are planning to do bitcoin mining but only want to invest couple of asic miners forget about it becaise i dont know if it will be profitable.
That differs from time to time, GPU mining seems to be more profitable than ASIC mining, looking at this website: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/#/equipment
Also hashing power doesn't really influence your ROI, hashes per price unit do. It doesn't matter whether you have a machine with 100 Mhash/s for $100 or a 200Mhash/s machine for $200, as you'll have the same ROI.
276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it still worth mining bitcoin in 2018 ? on: January 25, 2018, 10:40:05 AM
The profit depends on the rate on your electricity bill. But I think it's not a bad idea to mine with the Antminer S9 as I expect the price of Bitcoin to recover in the next coming weeks. I can encourage mining from different places in the world to keep the network decentralized.
277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any exchange with decent volume and no verification needs? on: January 24, 2018, 05:40:44 PM
Binance is the perfect exchange for what you're looking for, it offers both anonymity and a high volume. Besides Binance there is Cryptopia, which also has a lot of different coins listed and doesn't need verification, the only downside is it's volume.
278  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: Bitcoin Automaat on: January 24, 2018, 03:33:18 PM
Is inderdaad leuk om een keer te proberen.
De instructies voor het verkopen staan aangegeven op het apparaat zelf, deze kunnen nogal verschillen per apparaat omdat er meerdere fabrikanten zijn die deze apparaten produceren. Hier is een demo te zien van een Bitcoin ATM in Genève: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19tVcU4rZrU
Deze video is helaas niet heel recentelijk, in de tussentijd zal het proces al wel veranderd zijn.
279  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: (Beginner in daytraden crypto) Waar vind je snel het laatste nieuws? on: January 24, 2018, 03:26:17 PM
Ik heb eigenlijk altijd het gevoel dat dit forum de snelste bron voor nieuws is. Vaak als ik hier iets lees over iets wat staat te gebeuren dan is dat nog niet elders te vinden. Maar dit kan natuurlijk ook gevaarlijk zijn, omdat iedereen hier zomaar wat kan posten zonder geldige bron.
280  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why media against bitcoin ? on: January 24, 2018, 03:17:18 PM
Because the media is controlled by governments and they are controlled by banks.
The central bank doesn't like Bitcoin, because they can't control it, like they can with the Euro or other national currencies.
So, that's why they bring Bitcoin negative in the news, to destroy it and to keep in control over the money flow.
