Errrr do you understand what you're asking for.

Please don't reply with "yes" but it looks as if you want a coin that doesn't get affected by crypto or fiat currency? Have you entertained the idea of using gold or stocks (you might not be able to hold them yourself though dependent on the exchange/thing you use).
2642  Economy / Economics / Re: Everybody talking about economy reopen but problem on: January 27, 2021, 11:07:51 PM
But there is inflation? Where are they getting this money from?

Governments aren't going to entertain any investments in crypto unless they're tiny enough to not make much of an impact and then it won't do anything for them. And thisd cause inflation still, what if everyone's holding? There are going to be a lot of holders and a lot of preassigned otc sales already.
2643  Economy / Economics / Re: Would another war in the middle east affect crypto on: January 27, 2021, 04:40:11 PM
This is a lesser of two evils problem again. Europe's stance (and most democratic nations) might be determined by Israel's stance on Palestine.

The Syrian and Iraq wars increased Iran's territory and population too so I can see why other countries would be against them as well (even more than before.

A lot of the US's decisions on things normally seem to be "anything Russia doesn't want".

I don't think crypto would explode quite as much so you'd suggest though, it might do but there may be strengthening in the pound and the dollar as well.
2644  Other / Archival / Re: NFTs and why they are so bloody expensive? on: January 27, 2021, 02:35:38 PM
The main flaw you found is that it can entirely replace the old system?

You're not going to get rid of money laundering as people are just going to keep using gold and diamonds...

It is quite an interesting idea though. I'd say you'd still need to have someone trustworthy in custody of the item though and you'd probably still want physical access to it if you owned a part of it. This might open access to a lot of arteorks that are privately owned too as they could be presented in gallaries and increase their upkeep (I'm not certain if government art gallaries own their pieces or not).
2645  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can centralized parties used blockchain to store data on: January 27, 2021, 02:29:41 PM

Why are third parties are not using bitcoin biockchian or blockchain to store customers data?  
If they use it to store customers data, information will not be leaked? Like bitcoin I assumed YES.
Or are the third parties affraid because they want to be always centralized?
What is the remedy to customer data leakage?



1. It's expensive and frowned upon. There are actual data storage networks anyway and blockchains like storj.
Internal blockchains may be useful but you only really need a mirror system (RAiD0).
2. Data is publicly accessible on the blockchain, therefore theyd have to encrypt this information before it is stored and what encryption do you use to publicly broadcast secret information so it's not decryptable (the short answer is you don't broadcast it because you can't gaurentee this)?
3. This has nothing to do with companies wanting to be centralised, because they don't. Facebook store information for most worldwide customers in at least 3 different places - although there are areas like Europe where data has to be stored locally so local backups will occur in the same place). 
4. Get better security. Properly encrypt stuff and don't store unnecessary data online (even if it's not pii).
2646  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can anybody recommend any Ethereum tokens to invest in? on: January 26, 2021, 03:05:37 PM
Why are you looking at tokens? Are you trying to do short term predictions? You might be better off looking at investing in ethereum instead, it could bring a greater return?

If you're technically versed enough to understand whitepapers and run code then you might do well looking at icos.
2647  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Does Electrum record the date a transaction was sent to the mempool? on: January 24, 2021, 06:55:05 PM
If information provided by the transaction is trustworthy, then it should be listed in the blockheight or blocktime on the transaction when it was sent. If you can get something similar to the advanced tab option in electrum (it might be right clicking the transaction and selecting an option like "view transaction") then you should be able to see the time associated with it or the block height when it was signed.
2648  Other / Meta / Re: Pining useful thread on: January 24, 2021, 05:34:14 PM
You could make your own page for this realistically or just have a text editor with some saved links in it.

I could see a "favourites" section becoming useful at some point although your browser should also have bookmarks that you should be able to use.
2649  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Upgrade Unsuccessful on: January 23, 2021, 12:40:41 AM
Does the link take you to electrum..org?

There is a malicious phishing message attached to old versions from a server which you may have been a victim to.
2650  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: January 21, 2021, 01:07:41 AM
What do you think about giving the user a signed letter with the deposit address so they can confirm nothing went wrong?

I know this has been mentioned before but it requires putting a private key on an online server that could compromise everything.

There's then the other prospect of how many letters will people check? A 1Chip or even 1Chipmix address would be crackable without much computation power afaik. So you'd need to find an address with another word in it imo which would probably be hard to find.

Also, if you keep a copy of your receipt, you keep a copy of what you've just tried to destroy. Deleting information you've downloaded or saved is fairly difficult to do (and make it irrecoverable) even in memory there's no guarantee that your data will delete once the session clears or after a certain amount of time on a lot of devices.

My suggestion was to publish their ssl public key whenever they update it and then someone could verify the key by looking at the site settings on their browser.
2651  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Right way to set stop orders so they always get executed on: January 21, 2021, 12:15:02 AM
What exchange are you using? This often varies for many different exchanges.

I can think mainky of "stop limit" and "stop market" orders being a thing. You're going to want to use a stop market normally do the sell gets executed as soon as the price crosses that zone. If you use a stop limit, for an executoble stop, you should attempt to place the limit away from the stop (I don't know if people actually do this but the stop market is the only one that makes sense to me).
2652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Exchanges Question: Drastically different values trading between coins. on: January 20, 2021, 11:31:29 PM
Have you checked the orders that are available? It could be that there is a large spread (difference between the highest bid/buy and lowest ask/sell price)?

Alternatively you could take a loknat the volume, also do you know what price per coin you bought them for and what the exchange is saying it is now?
2653  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Do funds sent to watch only wallet automatically transfer to cold wallet? on: January 20, 2021, 05:51:51 PM
Yes of you did it properly (you can check the xpubs match) then everything else is correct.
2654  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Percentage between limit price and stop price in stop loss on: January 19, 2021, 08:11:36 PM
Why are you using percents?

If you're going to do that, grab yourself a copy of some historical data and see how much the price can move for as long as you keep your trade active would be my recommendation...
2655  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Practical presentations to turn the abstract into concrete? on: January 19, 2021, 08:07:45 PM
It's hard to find people that are good at presenting without the technical knowledge, and then hard to jot have them go off on one on the technicals...

There was a video on here a while ago of a guy ordering pizza over the lightning network (although I'm not sure who it was) but that's one of the ways this could be done. A lot of payment systems at the moment require some interfacing with companies like visa also too or would just take too long to show to people how to do it as the host might not want to mention they waited half an hour to get their payment processed for example.
2656  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Practices for sending to exchange on: January 19, 2021, 06:13:11 PM
I normally send a small amount and then the full one to the same address's (of the address they give you changes then you could do 2 small transactions instead before a large one).

If it's a trusted exchange then it just mitigates a few errors that could be problematic with your machine eg a clipboard virus or something. To protect against other attacks you could also check the first 5, last 5 and 5 in the middle characters for the address you're sending to. Also I'd check the permissions the website has (near the padlock icon on most browsers) as it may be possible to see if an add on/script is running that could be malicious.
2657  Economy / Services / Re: [FULL] ChipMixer Signature Campaign | Sr Member+ on: January 19, 2021, 03:40:20 PM
@darkstar_, as someone who has watched the charts a bit I think Friday at 23:59 might be a good time to get the btc conversion rate. There's normally something stupid happening on the Sunday-Monday period price wise. (although it might not affect things too much in the bull run).

I can perfectly understand the reasons behind this change, volatility is very high and continuously adjusting BTC-based rates would consume time and work in such a situation, and it would also be riskier for the entities behind the campaigns. But it's a bit sad because it shows how far away Bitcoin is still from being a "real currency".

Yeah @lidl, stop converting euros to pounds because it makes pounds seem like they're not a real currency: is my problem with that statement.

You buy a decent house in the UK you can expect to pay £250k+, to buy a nice house in Sweden you can probably expect to pay 2.5M krona+ (you actually could buy both with €230k if you really wanted to, I'm sure there's someone out there within the next 6 weeks+ - typical minimum house sale period that would take you up on that conversion without fees).




It is a point that if you earn in a currency you can expect to be paying in that currency for simplicity but I can understand the reasons not to.

And I suppose this is decent compared to my £1/0.01btc a week i made when I was a (I think full) member here.
2658  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bank withholding funds? on: January 19, 2021, 01:15:47 PM
What country are you in?

I've done fine with using bank accounts in the UK, exchanges seem to be more temperamental/demanding though such as requesting kyc more than once. I'd assume the eea, uk, nz, aus, cad and Singapore are best for doing transfers.
2659  Other / Meta / Re: How can I download all posts from a topic? on: January 18, 2021, 07:32:20 PM
An admin may do this on special request or you could hire someone to make a script to do it.

Why do you want it downloading?
2660  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Safest way to upgrade from 2.6.4 wallet on old offline machine? on: January 18, 2021, 04:42:03 PM
Download the latest version of electrum on the aurgapped machine and restore it using your seed.

If you can get your master public key then you should be able to use something like a USB stick to transfer information between the devices in order to sweep the funds (or you can use qr codes for higher security).
