Agree, it's gonna be some days before eth finds it's floor. Lisk is going to shake out again, when longer term investors reposition to sit for the long hodl, or the next hype wave.

It will get a bit cheaper, trust me. I don't think it has found a floor yet. When it crashes, I will be there to pick it up.

Join me.

My head exploded.

Lol, you would do better to write the plaintext key on the outside of the floppy. It's probably more durable than the magnetic film.

They also make great coasters.

Good attitude bro, that's the winning perspective that will have your value back in a jiffy. Always remember you can report to the police. They are ineffective at stuff like this, but sometimes, especially with enough value or if they feel some kind of way about cyber crime in your area, they go the extra mile.

Hang in there, it's just money. It doesn't feel like that when you keep replaying it (why the FUCk didn't I use 2FA!) but that's old hat now. Focus on your future

You have covered a lot, I'll address the double spend in this post.

Double spending isn't so effective on services, because they require multiple confirmations to credit value to your account. If you made a peer to peer trade, and somehow were able to double spend AND get away before the network caught you, you would have the coin and the cash. And an angry buyer to deal with, but that's a separate issue.

You could trigger the secondary, double spend transaction remotely after you make the first "show" transaction. You might want to make a deal with a node, so you know the second transaction reaches the network before the first.  Or put a nice fee on it, if the fee isn't the same size as the send, you should profit regardless.

With how weak the mining is on some of these coins, you could try a majority attack if you have more than 51 percent of the network. That way, your nodes decide which transactions make it into blocks; you can simply pend the honest tx until you get home, and double spend with the bad tx, or simply deny the honest tx period.

Again, you just pissed off a real live human being that has seen your face, not an internet gangster. You will have to deal with a buyer that may be inconsolable


Pai Mei was inconsolable, if you are a fan of Kill Bill 

Back in 1003 ("one-double [n]aught-three") in China, as Pai Mei was traveling down a road, a Shaolin monk crossed paths with him. Pai Mei gave a slight nod to the monk, who did not return it. Although the motives of the monk remain unknown, whether it was an insult or a misunderstanding, Pai Mei tracked him down at the Shaolin Temple. He demanded that the head Abbot kill himself as a means of retribution, but the Abbot refused. Consequently, Pai Mei single-handedly massacred all sixty of the monks residing in the temple.

Dont get killed by Pai Mei.

Try a multipool. They switch to the most profitable coin in real time, and some convert to you for btc, but they charge you for the luxury.

Notice how the ethereum enthusiast haven't been as vocal the last few days

If you are using the sportsbook, the outcomes are third party verifiable, you can check the internet after the event to see if you picked right. In that scenario, the only trust required is that they will release your funds when you request them.

If you are playing the games of chance however, you have to trust that the rolls aren't rigged. There are the "provable" sites, but they aren't as polished as the sites with the more traditional front ends.

I'd stick with the sportsbook. Known rate of return on a positive outcome.

Who actually enjoys spending money?

That's a serious question. It hurts my heart a bit.

Remember Phinnaeus Gage? He was cool as fuck, then he started walking a dark path.

There may be some truth to that statement.

Inversely, check out this article about some of the issues with implementation of smart contracts vs reality (the necessity of a trusted Oracle to report events to the blockchain, which brings up centralization issues).

I love the concept of smart contracts, but I must agree, this is a glaring hole in the usability of said feature.

You missed a fire sale on YoLisk yesterday, you may be a bit late to the party  

Good luck, it's entering hype bubble again, prices may trickle up.

Honestly, any exchange that allows participants to place orders in "not good" faith is in violation. All orders must be placed with the intention for fulfillment, but I regularly see massive walls placed simply to scare other traders into dumping/pumping. That vanish once someone starts to buy/sell into them.

Cookie for the day, good sir.

I love it here.


Never mind, you have to share with roach.

Right? A drink and a cigar, and I'm good for at least 30 posts. This forum is freaking hilarious, more so than Nick Cannon. The English will come in time, try your best and we won't bother you too much. There are some guys on here with horrible English, and they are native speakers  With that being said, keep it concise. If you are going to stumble through a language, native speakers appreciate it when you keep it short. It just keeps snowballing if you keep going. It's like me trying to write a white paper in Mandarin (I don't know Mandarin). You would get about a paragraph in, and wonder why in the hell I wasted your time

Enjoy the boards!

I'm interested in this. Not calling you out, doubting the veracity of that statement I mean, but did you see something somewhere saying that employees weren't getting paid? If so, this is indeed concerning, this seems to be the omnipresent straw that lands right before the camel's back break. This happened at both Gox and Neobee right before they kicked the bucket.

Link me please, if you can? Appreciate you in advance bro.

Notice how the most senior members tend to suggest gold as a safer value store for long term storage (self included)?

At this point, all these years after it has started, this is still a technology under development. Bitcoin is more of an investment than a value store, imo. As with all investments, please people, never invest more than you can afford to lose. Despite how improbable, we cannot predict the future. Protect your value.


Does a brownie with a paper wallet wrapped around it count? 

And use Gmail this go round. Logs ips for every session associated with the account, and you can premake a set number of otps ahead of time to save on paper, should you temporarily lose access to Authenticator.

I'm sorry man , this happened to me a few years ago on the bitmining exchange. It's pretty much gone now, I'll advise you to let this go, and focus the energy on rebuilding your savings and securing your gear a bit better in the future. You will go insane watching your hard earn value zip around cyberspace from address to address. Trust me on this, I've been there. 8 btc.

Strong passwords, unique to every service (try lastpass)
2fa on email, and on each account with significant value, and,
Treat your entire machine, and all keys/pass pairs as compromised. Move all value to new wallets, wipe your machine,  and start over.

This was an expensive lesson, but one that you hopefully won't have to repeat.

Also, never rule out the people that live around you and have access to your devices.

You are in my prayers.
