I tried visiting the website but it looks like is still not finished yet. The website says that the "DICE games are verifiable" but I couldn't see in the F.A.Q section what is the process and tools that is available for use in order to verify the bets.

what about those direct link on logo? Like if i want to post a discord then when readers clink that discord how theyll directly catch that discord? How can i set that?what is the size for that icon? could you say that?
Here:

Pick a transparent image of discord logo with a size that you preferred as long as it is not too small nor big. Though the recommended dimension is at least 150 X 150 pixels or something larger than that size.


The image is clickable because I attached the hyperlink on the bbcode. See the code below.

Code:

Edit: People above your reply mentioned that use of hyperlink. LOL

2764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Question to Crypto users about its security on: July 23, 2020, 01:53:42 PM
Crypto is praised as currency of future, 100% secured way of transaction. my question is how?
Hmm nope, there is no such thing as 100% secured. Living in this world where people can transact digitally and physically has no assurance that it is 100% safe. Either of them already has existing flaws in which it might get reduced when people educates themselves to achieve optimum security.

-If you have money in bank or invested in stock or somewhere else regulated by government and you dies, bank/stock exchange will contact the nominee when the account goes inactive. but if a person who hold crypto dies, nobody will know about this so the money is lost forever. if the person decides to share the crypto details with someone then its not really a "secured" currency.

-If someone stole money from your bank/stock/credit card account, it can be tracked where the money went and can be recovered by filing complaint with your bank or authorities. but if somone steal your crypto there is no way to get the crypto back.
The goal is to stay away from intermediaries and I think factors such as financial sovereignty and privacy are enough in order to consider that bitcoin has a lot of power it can give to people. Giving you the authority to control your finances comes with great posibility. In fact, not being a couch potato when it comes to educating oneself about their financial responsibility while achieving freedom is a win win situation.

Those adversaries you have mentioned is your sole responsibility for self education.

Bump!
Thanks for bumping! I am having trouble finding your thread.

You did this program using Java right? Do you have any resources that offers specific function that is used to generate bitcoin addresses using C++ library? Though I quite understand what is the process of address generation under the hood, I think it would be a good experience for me to create similar program that is written using C++.

Thank you so much.

This logic and Boolean gate theory had been a tough class for me back in those day in high school, seeing those diagrams and charts makes me have a feeling that what you gave learnt before still comes to future in different dimension, I would have joined the challenge but have no idea about it. Success for those that hit it right.
This is so far the most easy and basic topic that needs to be mastered in order to understand the underlying logic behind these logic circuit. Try to study the "Truth Table", it'll give you the basic idea why the output is changing when the operator differs at some point.

I've also found a good research what is the connection of Logic Gates in terms of blockchain.

2767  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoins stuck in wallet? on: July 23, 2020, 01:03:53 PM
But there is an "Unspent" tab in the app and I have 0 confirmations. What is this? Is this the reason I can't send coins anywhere from both of my addresses? Or any idea what can the problem be?
Confirmation is an indication to determine whether your bitcoin transaction is included in the "block" and later on added to the "blockchain". When your transaction is still at 0 confirmation, it just means that your transaction is still not verified and added into the blockchain. You need to wait at least 1 confirmation before you can spend your coins.

When I want to send any amount it says insufficient funds and no input. I'm completely puzzled and have no idea what's going on. Is it possible the input transaction is not confirmed yet? It was yesterday when I made these 2 transactions.. I never had to wait this much when sending from Coinbase to my wallet.
Have you seen thetraffic of the current bitcoin transactions here? [1] https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h. There is a total of approximate 40k transaction that is currently int the mempool waiting to be confirmed. Maybe the reason why it says insufficient funds is because the total amount of bitcoin in your wallet is not enough to cover the current transaction fees.

Let me help you with waiting. There is even a countdown page created for this event http://dickening.com/
But this challenge and topic is a bit misleading, because in November McAffee changes his price prediction to $1,000,000.

Anyway, McAffee is not a man of his words, because in December 2018, he wrote that he plans to "subcontract the task".
HAHA Cheesy. Didn't expect to see that coming. That's a hell of a lot concept when it comes to giving a name about a person who just spreads false information about crypto.

As far as I know, the options for changing the current theme will be available when the new bitcointalk forum has been published. There is also no existing design other than the current theme we're using.

I've used to look for a bitcoin book here in BitMarket before, even though I haven't found one, it's still one of the most known bitcoin market that exist other than bitcointalk Marketplace.
2771  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Watertight Nano S and X case on: July 22, 2020, 03:21:17 AM
Cool but too expensive. My homemade case has the similar design but cost me  as low as $0. I have used the original aluminum case (took it from  wife) designed to hold small  brushes for face makeup, Put a silicone ring between lid and main case to make it waterproof  and voila.
Care to share the photograph of your DIY Ledger Case? It's a shame that I still use the box of the Ledger Nano S that I bought on their website. The only thing that protects my Ledger is the foam inside the box.

Suggestion though. Aside from lowering the manufacturing cost, it would be much better to put a foam inside the case to fill the gap of the whole container to make sure that the product is still intact inside the container whenever that Ledger is detached on the lock function at the bottom of the container (based on the clipart on your site).

Using Antistatic Packing Peanuts is the best filler that I see in the market when dealing with electronic devices.

Good to see that your 7 segment are still there, still that working?. To the people does not know the 7 segment it display a 7 LED.
~snip~
It's actually a "seven segment double digit logic circuit" but it happens that the other seven segment digit has malfunctioned. I've used IC 192, IC 47 and 555 timer.

This is one of the projects i made with the use of tinkercad.

Nice! Thanks for sharing this virtual tool. Our professor did not told us that there is an existing tool to create a virtual circuit that can be used as a diagram to follow when doing the actual circuit.  Grin

This lecture reminds me of our lecture in basic logic circuit last year when I was still a freshman college student in computer engineering. Those "1" and "0" are basically equivalent to "TRUE" and "FALSE" in terms of truth table in discreet mathematics.

Here are some of the application using breadboard.

2775  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PoW is not what makes Bitcoin secure on: July 21, 2020, 07:39:29 AM
Bitcoin promised to be a decentralized Peer-to-Peer digital cash and a privacy coin
Hmm..I can't remember bitcoin promised that he is a "privacy coin". bitcoin is still in its infancy where the optimum privacy can't still be achieved because of its existing structure where the 3 main cryptographic technique that monero is using such as "stealth address", "ring transaction" and "ring signature" is not fit for bitcoin.

The only thing that bitcoin could achieve at least an increase of privacy is the implementation of schnorr and taproot signature, educating ourselves on how to achieve optimum privacy using different wallet and as much as possible, avoiding KYC.

Well, the adoption of bitcoin and any other cryptocurrencies differ in every countries. Some of which consider bitcoin either legal or illegal. And if you are planning to create such brick and mortar business that accepts bitcoin, it would be better to consult with a financial or legal advisor in the process.

Anyhow, I'll just leave a link that contains countries where bitcoin is legal.

I've also read some few articles that Switzerland is one of the most cryptocurrency friendly country in which they encourage the use of blockchain to their start up businesses.

Thanks for checking out my Traditional Drawings. However, I am currently not accepting traditional commissioned drawing right now because of the pandemic.

But I am open for commissioned drawings and graphic/ logo designs. Check out this link.

I tried opening again their website and it seems that they have fixed their connection. Should I report their website here? [1] https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en even though it's not a phishing website?

Chances are, more people would still be using this fraudulent website.
2779  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Questions about node, digital sig and HD wallet on: July 19, 2020, 09:36:35 AM
I was surprised about this total lack of privacy options when I first installed my Ledger. Even worse: you can't even get a new address without funding the first one in Ledger Live! So if you want to give 5 different people a payment address, it's not even possible. That's pathetic Shocked
So I use Electrum with my Ledger now. Electrum allows coin control provides loads of receiving addresses. Verifying addresses and signing transactions still takes place on the Ledger, so it still provides the same level of security.
That is why many people are complaining about the lack of basic functionalities in Ledger Live. It is kinda disappointing that they rather focus on adding altcoin application and exchange instead of providing basic coin control, pay-to-many, RBF features on their updates.

save and do not  use that email for airdrops collection etc.
Or just refrain from claiming random airdrop that you can see in this community or any other social media and messaging platforms. Airdrop participation may lead to not just exposing your privacy on the internet but can also compromise the device you're using only to receive little to no value token.

As per using email, it would be better to switch to another alternative open source email like [1] https://protonmail.com/ or [2] https://tutanota.com/.

Lastly, even though I still don't have any experience setting up an air-gapped device that will exponentially protect your crypto in the long run considering with proper setup and usage, this thread is a must read that will fasten your learning curve in terms of security and privacy.
