What once was a good thread is now of limited use with people taking it over to advertise HYIPs. Puppet has not even posted since May.

MA200 is god damn fat elephant  Grin Survives for so much hits since Jan 2015. Besides - it is reversal candlestick picture.



If you use the MTGOX price data that is missing from Bitstamps "all time" chart to add to that average price picture you get is a price closer to $160-$170 range.


If you remove the giant peak data points as just noise you get a bit lower average price.

Good point but since the market is bouncing off the SMA 200 you can make the case that extra data or smoothing would actually not be as meaningful.

MyTrezor is not working well. I have transactions with more than 50 confirmations and they are not showing on MyTrezor and I can see them in electrum.

Do you know how to fix this or if trezor team will fix it?

Thanks

MyTrezor.com was having issues last night due to the spam test but a restart of the back end was supposed to have cleared the problem, it did for me. You can always use Electrum with your current Trezor: http://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-apps/electrum.html#resources

Until Coinwallet.eu is done with their spam attack delays in MyTrezor.com may happen again but your bitcoin are safe in Trezor.

Hash: SHA512
 
Recently research had come that shed some light on vulnerabilities in Tor Hidden Services protocol which could help to deanonymize server locations. Most of the new and previously known methods do require substantial resources to be executed, but the new research shows that the amount of resources could be much lower than expected, and in our case we do believe we have interested parties who possess such resources.
 
We have a solution in the works which will require big changes into our software stack which we believe will mitigate such problems, but unfortunately it will take time to implement. Additionally, we have recently been discovering suspicious activity around our servers which led us to believe that some of the attacks described in the research could be going on and we decided to move servers once again, however this is only a temporary solution.
 
At this point, while we don't have a solution ready it would be unsafe to keep our users using the service, since they would be in jeopardy. Thus, and to our great sadness we have to take the market offline for a while, until we can develop a better solution. This is the best course of action for everyone involved.
 
In the mean time we shall do our best to clear all outstanding orders and we ask all of you users who have money on their accounts, withdraw them as soon as possible, because we don't want to be responsible for it during the time when the market will be offline.
 
During this time, there might be some delays in payouts, since many people are expected to withdraw money at the same time, but we intend to resolve any such issues in the end. But we advice you to use only destination bitcoin addresses that do not expire when you send money out from Agora, as the payments to them might get delayed.
 
While the market is offline, do not send any bitcoin to any of your deposit addresses on Agora. We do not gurantee the safety of any funds sent there.
 
Vendors, we strongly advice you to abort any orders that haven't been sent out or processed yet, as we cannot gurantee what will happen with the orders in resolution. We shall try to resolve it on a case-by-case basis, but there might not be time to wait for orders that require long shipping times.
 
We are going to handle the situation with the vendor bonds soon, we need some time to make sure that noone uses this as an opportunity to start scamming wildly.
 
All of the market data will be kept intact and be available upon return, including all of the user history and profile data.
 
 
Since our PGP key is nearing expiration date, here is a new PGP key which could be used to check authenticity of our messages in the future.

XT nodes falling down. Looks like people started prefer bip 100 blocksize solution.

not the people.. the big miners.

Only miners count in the end. However, it is good to see that number of users running XT nodes is down under 900 and falling, now only 810 on BitNodes. Novelty wearing off perhaps. Do not discount Mike Hearn ambition though probably has a few tricks left to pull. Considering how negatively bitcoin market reacted to Bitcoin XT introduction he should pull it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but only big miners or solo miners get a say in this vote. If you mine in a pool like many people do, you are not running a full node so you don't get a vote.

Pool operators are really miners, along with solo miners and p2pool miners. The people who sell their hashing to pool operators are just providing hashing. Correct if you are not running a node and are not receiving coin base rewards, you are just providing hashing.

3050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why has Gavin left core and attempted to make a fork? on: August 27, 2015, 08:48:38 PM
I've been reading through the debates on these forums and other places.

I'm not sure what I'm missing but I'm confused why one of the original dev's have done this and did not simply stay with core and try and make the changes there? Was he forced out or couldn't make the changes he wanted or something else?

It seems that forking the coin in such a way is a dangerous move. The fact that it has a different name to me makes it FEEL like it is an alt-coin that's trying to take over by introducing the coin as a fork. The only difference is it has one of the original devs of bitcoin involved?

Thanks in advance to whoever can clear things up for me. Smiley

Developers of Bitcoin Core were unable to reach consensus about increasing the blocksize limit during some 3 years of discussion. This led Gavin to make his own implementation with Mike Hearn (Bitcoin XT), which includes his improvement proposal for a hard fork (BIP 101.) Seems like the plan has worked to some extent and the blocksize debate is moving somewhere.

No one knows which BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) will be chosen by the network. Or which implementations will end up being most popular (Bitcoin XT, Jeff Garzik's still unnamed and unreleased BIP 100 implementation or something else.) However I think the ball is rolling and we'll find out. Maybe it's even possible that Bitcoin Core developers can agree to something and we get some hardfork release from them also. (raising the blocksize cap requires a hard fork.)

These forums have been full of misinformation, misunderstandings, trolling and FUD last few weeks so do your own research and take everything you read with a grain of salt.

PS. I'm unaware that Gavin would have left Bitcoin Core development (or I've missed such info if he did). He's also working with BTCD (a bitcoin implementation made in golang).


Very well thought out reply, thanks. I find it compelling that the largest mining pools are publicly supporting BIP 100 and making it crystal clear they do not approve of Bitcoin XT. After all the mining pools will ultimately make the choice and they appear to be conservative but pressing for a solution within Bitcoin Core.
3051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beware of Increasingly Sophisticated Malware Infection Attempts on: August 27, 2015, 08:38:14 PM
How to keep your home computer malware free.
 
How could it happen?
Clicking a link or attachment in email.
Visiting a website that has malware installed. Depending on your browser settings and what plug-ins you have installed (Flash, Java, Acrobat Reader) malicious software could be installed on your computer without out you knowledge.
 
What could happen?
You could loose all the data on your computer.
All the data on your computer could be held for ransom.
Your computer could be used to commit crimes.
Your personal information could be stolen.
Someone could access all of your accounts.
Someone could log everything you type.
Someone could access all the files on your computer.
 
Prevention
Update your operating system and third party applications.
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/
 
Disable auto run for Plug-Ins
In Google Chrome navigate to chrome://settings/content.
Under Plug-ins select Click to play.
You can add exceptions by going to chrome://settings/content, Plug-ins, and clicking "Manage exceptions..."
 
Use a DNS server that blocks known malicious sites
Symantec https://dns.norton.com/
Comodo https://www.comodo.com/secure-dns/
 
Use Windows Defender on Windows 8 or Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7
They are free and affective.
 
Buy and install MalwareBytes Premium and Malware Bytes Anti-Exploit Premium ($25 Each)
 
Be suspicious about links and attachments in emails. Don't click them.
 
Backup your data
Use BitTorrent Sync to sync your data with another computer.
Use and application like Acronis TruImage to make a scheduled backup to an external drive. Get two external drives and rotate them regularly. Keep one copy at a different location.
Use a cloud based backup service like Carbonite, Crashplan or Backblaze.
 
Consider replacing your current router with with a UTM (Unified Threat Management) firewall that has security software built in. Note that most of these are relatively expensive and require ongoing subscriptions.
Example http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1008719/

Be careful with remote access to your PC
Don't use VNC to remotely access your PC. Passwords are easily brute forced via automated scanning scripts. For best security consider two-factor authentication.

Good advice to take to heart, thanks for taking the time to post.

I'll pitch in too.

I want my fucking money Scamtos piece of f@#$@#$ @#$@# you scammign @#$@#$ @#$. I hope you get cancer and die from Hemorrhoids.  Angry
Are there any cloudmining sites out there with decent roi that are NOT scams? Can anybody name any?

Hashnest S5 is the safer choice because you can sell your hash at any time with no penalty. Stakeminers is interesting but there are significant withdrawal penalties if you want out. Genesis Mining has never been a good choice, overpriced and there is no way to sell your hashing power.

Because ROI on S5 is almost two years now if you buy you are betting on bitcoin price increase so you can sell your hash at a profit. Rather than investing in any hosted mining I would just hold bitcoin now. Check the charts in Hashnest and look for a turnaround and wait until hash prices are in an uptrend before buying. When the market is trending up there is a good spread and volume on UMISOO and money to be made day trading.

Hello!

I am new here as you can guess Smiley. I want a cold storage that has "reasonable good" security.

There are several sites that has javascript paperwallet generators, which of these are safe? Most of them are open source, hosted at GIT.

Is a paper wallet encrypted with Bip38 safe enough to store on off site backups?

My plan is to start a clean Linux and download a generator and generate a few wallets and print them out.

I'm planning to use my phone as a hot storage device for small amounts, what's your strategy? You are the experts.

Best regards

Edit 1:

According to the "Stay Safe thread" - Don't use bitcoins on rooted phones. So I will avoid that.

Instead consider using Mycelium on your phone. Mycelium has Trezor support so you have security and convenience, just have to carry your Trezor with your phone to send bitcoin.

Hello!!  I need a little help with a new project that I'm starting. I recently opened a clothing store, Name: LUXURY and would create a facebook page to promote all products I'm selling, what happens is that I do not have a logo for the photos and the cover on facebook if anyone would help me I will pay with Bitcoins and escrow . If you have green trust i will pay first for sure .

I have also doubt if anyone here knows of pages or sites to buy clothes or merchandise wholesale with low to resell and earn money honestly priced.

In short I need someone to help me create logos for my facebook page and its respective cover the Original logo with the name LUXURY

Thanks!
