Yeah the hourly chart looks to have formed some sort of triangle (symmetric probably) over the month. We might see a breakout in either direction soon but a break below 18000 or 19600 is the confirmation of the direction we're going in that we're looking for. Although waiting for a cross of 20-21k could be a safer bet...

(but the market can always be volatile and randomely pick the opposite direction once it's broken out so)...

fix with cloudflare
You should read theymos' post on how Cloudflare is basically a man-in-the-middle and can see everything.

I thought it was a man in the middle. Although I think chipmixer provide their own certificate on their server and point cloudflare to that so stuff MAY be encrypted. I access most things via tor when possible (and neccary - when not necessary I use a vpn instead) as cloudflare also have an office in London afaik...
2923  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: December 06, 2020, 01:57:31 PM
I'm randomly getting an error on my mixing session. It displays the Chipmixer logo and says "Service did not respond - Please try again" it shows up randomly when the page refresh by itself.

What is going on?


Is your browser up to date ? The website might be under heavy load or maybe under DDOS attack. I've had this happen but it still worked in the end. Yesterday I had problems with cloudflare and they were resolved after updating my browser.

Yeah this could just be something for chipmixer to fix with cloudflare or to reduce the number of refreshes that occur from their Javascript... If it works in the end - as cna be assumed - it's just a minor issue especially if it doesn't take long for the site to reappear after the error.

Is it meant to be all loyce at the moment? Were you waiting for them to approve your usage of the data, I assumed it was public access... Especially if it was raw text from Theymos that you want to import/scan.

That's a lot of reserved space too...
2925  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Its time to stop calling the left progressive, because they are the opposite on: December 06, 2020, 01:11:00 PM

Imo progressive should be anything you see as a positive change (from the norm) to occur. The far sides of either discussion are normally the most outspoken and you're only listening to them...

Progression in Europe for a Conservative minority nowadays could be to outlaw divorce or abortion - it is extremely unlikely such thing would pass but possible...




I feel it's safe to assume that the far left of the blm movement that's being shown to you are actually trying to stop any progression in that front as they've clearly been able to alienate a lot of people from the side of antiracist progression.
2926  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Biggest risks? on: December 06, 2020, 11:02:20 AM
Could someone please provide an explanation on the steps for this?


It's been a while since I've used the sweep function but it's likely in file (or wallet) and it just brings up a window to paste a private key in and then you set fees and other info and it sends the transaction.

Also, what is the opinion about potential attack vectors on wallet softwares like Electrum even though these are open source. For example, there was a malware attack which had led to users funds being compromised in an earlier version of electrum. The forum had warning about it.

Previous versions of the software were released which allowed servers to send custom messages. An attacker managed to run their own server and send a message (the message only occured when sending a transaction but if you click the link you apparently got sent to a phishing site (I didn't get the message myself so...)

Considering that Bitcoin core is the safest, how should one go about using Bitcoin Core for a wallet.


One shouldn't blindly trust a wallet for its safety purely because they *think* it's safe.

Open source software itself is able to undergo stegonographic attacks to try to change its source code without a maintainer spotting. Electrum has their original dev coding it, bitcoin core doesn't that's got to be a good vector of attack of someone misses something and pushes a commit just labelled as "primitive update with library" or something.


One final question, signing offline and broadcasting later so as not to expose your private key to the memory of internet, what wallets support this apart from Bitcoin core?



All the good ones... Grin (don't think I know one that doesn't).
2927  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Balance on trezor on: December 06, 2020, 12:55:14 AM
Do you have any unconfirmed transactions? Have you only just sent or received something? It might be that...

Other than that, is there no link on the trezor wallet to show transactions in a block explorer (should be in the history/transactions tab).
2928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: OTC Over The Counter BTC Trading? on: December 06, 2020, 12:35:02 AM

Who are the whales that have 1000s of BTC dumping selling it on the OTC desk? Why these whales don't have faith that BTC will go higher than 20k?


To get liquidity you need to trade. Sell and buy.

Maybe you want to cash out at a certain preset price or maybe you just want more cash... 19k is 19k if you have a few thousand btc. Dropping it now might be easier than trying to get someone to buy your coins at 200k or 1mil in a few years (assuming we go higher)...  A bird on the ground is worth 3 in the bush and 9 in the sky..
2929  Other / Meta / Re: Is the evil score system working as expected? on: December 05, 2020, 08:50:23 PM
If you've got enough determination and a few VPN's at your disposal then you could circumvent the evil fee as has been done here...

Theymos might be better off finding a copy of this data like LoyceV created and mining it for similarities in order to run a heuristic on posts but that might cause a problem for authentic users.
2930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Biggest risks? on: December 05, 2020, 08:03:09 PM
The problem with the clipboatd hijacker malware is that it runs offline and doesn't require any Internet connection to be executed (at least the one my pc is infected with doesn't).
Also, signing the transaction offline won't help if you copy paste the receiving address to create the transaction on an infected device.


Sweeping in electrum opens a "preview"(/"advanced") transaction window, it's interally coded? So a clipboard virus could only be used to steal the private key and not tamper with the address the funds are sent to afaik?

I didni't think there was an option to pick which address it was swept to.
2931  Economy / Economics / Re: World are like bees house economic honey house on: December 05, 2020, 07:09:20 PM
Why do you think we have "Queens" /governments? They're meant to be managing the honey.

I think a lot of people's wealth has been eroded over the last year and people living paycheque to paycheque will have probably had serious problems in some industries...
2932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Biggest risks? on: December 05, 2020, 03:51:08 PM
Yeah there's a possibility malware could check your clipboard or what they're doing to extract the key in core.

If you're worried about security and. have more than one device you can sign the transaction offline and voradcast it once back online. Or if you only have one machine you could do the same thing in safe mode without networking as it may disable some applications that previously may have been able to run.
2933  Other / Meta / Re: Notification when a thread with your post is deleted? on: December 05, 2020, 03:42:30 PM
It has happened to me now and then, I think that sometimes newbies seem to be removing their thread after it gets answered, for example.
Users cannot delete their topics. Only moderators and admins can delete topics.
If a thread in which you had posted doesn't exist now, it has definitely been deleted by moderators. 

Yeah you can't delete a thread after someone else has viewed it. And some boards require a 24 hour cool down as well as this.
2934  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoins in 2030 on: December 04, 2020, 06:05:38 PM
I was here when the block reward was 25. Proportionally a drop to 6.25 from 25 is the same as a drop from 6.25 to 1.5625.

If we're still going after the next two halving, the block reward will be able to stay at that price and the value of the coin will just increase with it - like it has done.

Alternatively, a country with cheap electricity supplies can assist with the mining if they wish as it would still be profitible for them (for example i think some nordic countries are paying 0.05 cents per wkh and Canada is similar). A lot of countries moving to renewable energy also means there may be points when electricity is more redundant than necessary (with things like wind) which can also be channelled into mining.

Hobbyistic miners will also remain a thing and keep growing too...
2935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: /ur/local/bin/bitcoind not found Ubuntu Desktop for Raspberry Pi4 on: December 03, 2020, 05:20:40 PM
Have you tried to CD into the directory and running it directly from there with ./Bitcoind? If it worked then then you'll just have to search up on how to make the bitcoin command link to the exectible.
2936  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to work....? on: December 03, 2020, 01:53:50 PM
Rules can be found hete: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

The main one is don't plagiarise without providing sources atm.

Other than that just find a board you might like the look of and click on threads to see if they're interesting. Active participation in discussion and asking questions is probabky the best way to go.

2937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can you use the same address to send AND recieve Bitcoin? on: December 02, 2020, 08:49:57 PM
Yeah they've just sent the funds back to the address the person paid to. You can reuse an address as many times as you want..

If it's owned by an exchange, you'll have to get in touch with their support.
2938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Does it make sense i migrate to an HD wallet? on: December 02, 2020, 08:40:34 PM
If you backup often then no, you're fine to keep using a non HD wallet.

If you have an HD one you only need one backup to recover everything but there's normally a key pool of a thousand new generated addresses beyond the ones currently in use afaik (but it might be up to 1000 and then produces more i can't exactly remember)...
2939  Other / Meta / Re: Forum advertising DeFi totally-not-scams on: December 02, 2020, 06:40:45 PM
The site is pretty empty, they don't look to have Sourcecode and their legal link took me to medium...
2940  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: usdc leader of the stable coins future are stable coins on: December 02, 2020, 06:20:54 PM
OK?

But what if they "restructure" and set your funds to 0? Or if they *think* you've done something illegal and the government wherever they're based asks them to reduce or restrict your funds?

What if the US decide that because Switzerland or Germany wouldn't pass a law to make them only use usdc or banks and no cash and they declined so all the usdc stored there got 0'd from those countries? What if China starts a war with the US and the US liquidate everything in retaliation...
