As I predicted, psychological resistance at 1000 $ worked. Daytraders were sunny because it was quite wavy, but I do not think it will take too long. In a few days,it will sit in a narrower space and consolidate his place.

Yes. It looks like $1000 is a good resistance for bitcoin and I don't think it will be taken out today. But by January 2017, we should
see bitcoin crossing $1000 mark in style. Until then, enjoy the new year celebration!

China shuts down for New Year. All its banks are closed and no money can get sent to exchanges from them. Bitcoin trading will be lame until those banks open again.

Things are looking rosy now, but bear markets can get triggered just like that... #neverforget

Agree, but from the things you mentioned only Coinbase-hack and (a real) China-ban would mean trouble. Nobody expects Segwit to get activated at the moment, Polo is not important for BTC-Fiat markets and ETF would only mean upside potential as there is so far not much hype around a potential ETF approval.

On the flip side bull markets can get triggered just as fast too. Banks and countries going bankrupt could trigger a hyper bull market.

India and Venezuela removing notes from circulation probably helped this bull run. Bigger events like country bankruptcies could turn it hyper bull. Bitcoin pumped when Greece was facing bankruptcy.

The dreams:
I contacted Sasha Ivanov, founder of Waves, about the linked address 1NGfrU4YNp8dox1gLeUDyjD5@!$#@9no5j that has 4800 BTC from Waves ICO.  His response was that if the project is successful, he is going to distribute our coin as dividend to Waves holders.

and the reality:
Quote from: Sasha link=https://wavesplatform.slack.com/archives/general/p1482999414008654
We managed to make 35 BTC with byteballs, will be distributed as BTC token to WCT holders, it'll happen after the holidays

Thanks for sharing this! I do not know this "Sasha" personally, but everything shows he is a cheater in all aspects. Tony was warned multiple times about those cheaters (by many people, including me), but chose to stick to original rules... No comments, maybe he is right, maybe not. Time will show.

They managed to make 35 BTC ?  Grin It funny how they did end up with such small amount Smiley
With their linked 6.9k BTC, they should have got at least 100-150 BTC! So this means one of two things: either they are going to dump more soon, or Sasha tricked his own investors, and kept 60-70% of coins for himself  Grin
Waithing for Lisk now Smiley

Sasha linked 4800 BTC.


The waves ICO made 29636 Bitcoins. If all sasha had left to link was 4800 BTC then he will probably have very little left to link for the next byteball round. He's burning through those 29636 Bitcoins very fast.
3187  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: HELP- Malware warning about my electrum !!! on: December 30, 2016, 06:11:26 PM
It's almost certainly a false positive.

A few virus scanners have given malware warnings for electrum over the last year. This is a thread about the problem

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1639722.0

One of the posts in it gives this virustotal scan result link for electrum-2.7.2-portable.exe

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5e7ecfb66f3fec010ff9ffdebb745550b6a550a87de4e0239d357f447ed19dee/analysis/1476074020/

On 10 October virustotal scanned the file with 56 different virus scanners and the only positive result was from a scanner called Invincea.

I re-scanned the same file today through virustotal and the Invincea scanner said the file is now clean.

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5e7ecfb66f3fec010ff9ffdebb745550b6a550a87de4e0239d357f447ed19dee/analysis/1483120578/

However now a scanner called Baidu is the only one of 56 different virus scanners to give a positive result. Ironically Baidu said the file was clean on 10 October.

The two urls prove both virustotal scans were of the same file because both of them contain the file's hash (shown below).

5e7ecfb66f3fec010ff9ffdebb745550b6a550a87de4e0239d357f447ed19dee

If there is only one positive result from 56 different virus scanners it's probably a false positive. If a scanner that gave a positive result two months ago (like Invincea) now says the file is clean it's almost certainly a false positive result.
3188  Other / MultiBit / Re: Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet" on: December 30, 2016, 04:34:32 PM

Do you have any idea why MultiBit can't open my wallet?


Sorry I don't know why, it sounds like a bug.



With password you mean the 12 wallet words?


Yes




How can I use my extended private key and a list of receiving addresses for my wallet to open my locked wallet? Can you explain this step-by-step?


Use the webpage I linked to in my earlier post. After you have entered your 12 wallet words into it and put m/0'/0  in the BIP32 Derivation Path box the page should automatically display the addresses in your multibit HD wallet together with their private keys.

You should be able to see them about half way down the page below the big heading that says "Derived Addresses".

If you know which address contains your Bitcoins you need to copy the private key shown next to that address.

If you don't know which address contains your Bitcoins then open the blockchain.info link below and starting at the top of the list search blockchain.info for each Bitcoin address in your list until you find the one containing your coins.

Don't let blockchain.info or anyone else know any of your private keys

https://blockchain.info/

After you find which of your Bitcoin addresses contains your Bitcoins copy its private key, then follow these steps.

Download electrum 2.6.4 portable from here (because the latest 2.7 versions are buggy).

https://download.electrum.org/2.6.4/electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe

Create a new folder and copy electrum-2.6.4-portable.exe into it, then double click it to start the wallet.

An install wizard window should open. At the top of it select the "Restore a wallet or import keys" option, then click the "next" button.

Another window will open with a box in it that you can type your private key into.

After that click the "next" button and another series of windows should open. Leave each window's settings as they are and click the "next" button in each one until the wallet opens.

You can leave the password boxes blank, the electrum wallet can work without a password, and its password is not the same as your multibit wallet's password.

When the wallet opens it should sync within minutes and show your Bitcoins. You can use it to send them wherever you like.

Hi guys,

A question about the remaining distribution of 90%.

If I understood well until now only 10% of all Byteballs are distributed.
Additionally I have read that on the receiving address for every Byte received 0.1 Byte will be added.

How long exactly shall take the distribution of all Byteballs. There must be monthly distributions rounds for years if on every round only 1/10 of the initial distribution takes place.

How is taken into account the Byteball amount on one Byteball address for futur distribution rounds.

I think I have missed some key information.

Tks


This is the key information you missed from the OP.




If you missed the 1st round of distribution, you can still participate in the further rounds.  If you were in the 1st round, you can multiply your holdings.  In the second round, which is expected in mid-February, you receive:
- 62.5 MB for every 1 BTC of proven balance
- 0.1 new bytes for every 1 byte (received in the 1st round)

.<snip>

The linking phase will end in mid February (exact date to be announced later), after which we'll do the distribution in proportion to BTC and bytes balances on the distribution date.

In the second round, we'll distribute as much as is linked and calculated by the above rules, the exact % is not known in advance.  

The 3rd and subsequent rounds (yet to be announced) will follow similar rules, but the relative weight of bytes vs. BTC in the 3rd and further rounds will change and will gradually increase to 1 BTC=62.5 MB.  It will be selected to maximize the value of bytes and keep the speed of distribution in sync with the growth of user base and the actual use of the network.  The ratio 62.5 MB per 1 BTC is chosen so that the total money supply of bytes (1015) and the total number of BTC in circulation (16,000,000) are equivalent.

We'll have as many rounds as is necessary until all bytes are distributed, the rounds will be spaced 1 to 2 months.

Thanks for your reply, but what do you mean with "seed"?

Did you try importing your seed into electrum? I think multibit and electrum use the same type of seed. Good thing you stored the seed safely, do not panic your coins are not lost. Do not share the seed with anyone. Download electrum and try importing your seed in there.

Jacob

He means the the wallet words you used when you created your multibit HD wallet. The wallet words are the seed.

I tried importing my multibit HD seed into electrum, but it wouldn't let me import them until I clicked the options button, then checked "BIP39 seed". Although electrum create a wallet using my multibit HD words it didn't show the same addresses as in my multibit HD wallet. Either I did something wrong, or that technique doesn't work.

<edit>

This might be why the technique didn't work

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/20174/export-wallet-from-multibit-to-electrum

Quote
Multibit creates addresses using compressed private key, while Electrum uses uncompressed private keys. You can't decompress key - it will change public address, not allowing you to use your coins.
3191  Other / MultiBit / Re: Please Help: 2BTC locked because "The password did not unlock the wallet" on: December 29, 2016, 11:24:48 PM
I successfully tried generating a wallet in multibit HD and retrieving its extended private key using an offline copy of the webpage linked below.

https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/

Once you have the extended private key you can use it to get your Bitcoins back by importing it into a blockchain.info wallet. The page also shows a list of private keys for each address in an HD wallet,  and you can import them into electrum or some other wallet to access your Bitcoins.

To use the webpage right click the link and choose save as , then press enter.

Open it offline in your browser, then click the BIP32 tab below the big Derivation Path heading.

Put the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box.

m/0'/0

Type your password seed into the BIP39 Mnemonic box.

The page should automatically generate your extended private key and a list of receiving addresses  for your wallet.

If your Bitcoins are in a change address then repeat the steps above, but type the text below in the BIP32 Derivation Path box.

m/0'/1  

The page should show you all your change addresses with their private keys.

If aren't sure if that webpage is trustworthy it was recommended by a respected member of bitcointalk called dooglus who's a clamcoin dev, and runs a well known dice site. This is the post which he recommended it in.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.msg12270560#msg12270560

You can also scan it at the virus scanner link below to check if it's safe.

https://virustotal.com

The only reason I said to run it offline was to be extra safe. It's possible to use it online. but less secure.

Wow, buy side has collapsed on finex. This will be interesting!

The walls are frequently put up in the opposite direction to the way the price will move. Stepped sell walls on finex could be a signal the price is going up.
3193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 29, 2016, 04:58:47 PM
The OP doesn't have a link to the exchange byteball is traded on yet. If there was a link to https://cryptox.pl/ near the top of the OP more people might buy it. Newbies will assume it's not on an exchange unless there's a link to one in the OP.

We are taking suggestions if there are any coins you would like to see on alcurEX.

Please add byteball.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.0

It's a coin with a new code base, not a Bitcoin clone. The launch of the main net was only a few days ago and you could capitalize on it by listing it before the other exchanges.
3195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 29, 2016, 11:19:50 AM
Its crazy, they are listing some shitcoins daily, but miss the opportunity to list something so promicing.
Livecoin asks for 2.5 btc to list Byteball !!??  Grin. In fact they should be standing in the queue now, asking for people to come on their exchange and trade Byteball...
Maybe thats why they are small, after all Wink. And will stay small, with such stupid behaviour...
They list coins for easy money, Cryptox did it because project is very promising, tonych great job, was not for money too.
Lots shitty ICO's go easily to the biggest markets, because they got your money (ICO investors) to pay for it, then they can show you huge volumes, and finally you ... . You know.

Exchanges don't like free coins to list.
Specially when they got the news that biggest holder of byteball are waves and lisk owner.
Byteball failed. distribution wasn't decentralized. who own more money, received more byteball.



Exchanges find it more difficult to list coins with new code bases as opposed to Bitcoin code based altcoins. Cryptsy took a long time to list Nxt and ripple because it had to write new back end code to integrate with those coins instead of making a few changes to its existing back end code to integrate a run of the mill coin. The bigger exchanges will integrate byteball eventually.

I bought 10 coins in November at approx 700. Is that a small amount compare to other ppl here? Maybe I should buy more?? This is my first post!

1,000,000 = Satoshi
100,000 = Sea Monster
10,000 = Whale
1,000 = Shark
100 = Sturgeon
10 = Mackerel
1 = Sardine
0.1 = Plankton

Btw, did you say you were new here?
* yefi whips out his hazing stick

If 0.1 = Plankton what are the people with 0.01 or less? Newbies often start by using faucets that pay peanuts. It takes them weeks or months to get 0.01 from them. Are they plankton poo until they get 0.1?
3197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 28, 2016, 04:43:06 AM
finex doesn't trade coins, only promises for coins.

Has it not paid everyone back yet?

OMFG that buying, can't keep up the scrolling, 200 btc buys on stamp!!
Wow, did you just see that last buy on Stamp? 773 BTC  Shocked

It's weird that Stamp's price is almost the same as Finex's when BearStamp is usually lagging by $10. And it's even weirder that itbit is now the biggest exchange in USD volume. There are unusual giant buys on both Stamp and itbit. Maybe Finex is running low on coins for sale.
3199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: December 27, 2016, 09:56:33 PM
Agreed. Encrypted messaging and transfer of value anonymously as byteball's best chance of success. It does those two very well

I wondered about this too Smiley To make a private transaction you need to first pair your device with your counterparty. Doesn't it reveal your ip?


Tonych links to a workaround of running Byteball through TOR.



Description for whoever is interested in how to run byteball throw TOR:
.......


Thank you for very detailed description, it'll be helpful for anybody who wants to run Byteball through TOR too!





He also gives this information.


Today I builded byteball from source on an ubuntu 64 bit virtualbox guest (clear internet) using node.js 64 bit and NW.js 64 bit.  The host was the same (a good desktop with good internet).
It synchronized to completion in 1 h 45 min and byteball.sqlite ended with 522 Mb.

Yesterday on the same host and whonix 32 bit virtualbox guest (presumably throw TOR) it was 2 h to completion and and byteball.sqlite ended with 518 Mb.


Looks great work. So byteball can communicate with TOR network I guess. Do you still need to create some .onion hosts so that it can distribute things and have all default witness etc, so it can completely run inside TOR?

Yes, it's great news.
Running .onion hosts is not required.  If you are a merchant (such as a pizza bot https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1608859.msg16330266#msg16330266) and want to hide your IP, you just connect to the hub through TOR.  Your clients don't have to mess with TOR at all, they connect to the hub via clear internet (all chats are end-to-end encrypted).

my only qualm is that the late 2013 bubble is the one i have the least faith in. people were buying coins because they couldn't get cash out of MtGox any other way.



If they were all buying coins to get cash out of MtGox they would have immediately dumped them on another exchange and banked the money. More of them must have continued holding than were selling otherwise the price wouldn't have bubbled.
