Hi!
XMR-stak-JK 2.10.5 came out a few days ago. Can we expect your recompiled version to be released soon?

yeah, I should be able to have it done by the end of my weekend.

Compiled and uploaded.   Enjoy.

100% support this format to be 100% a scam.


Just look at the initial link in a incogneto window:  check the background image:  Cryptual

I need not say more.

It may work with airdroppers that only want to make a quick buck dumping their shitcoins, but to atract any "important"/sensible user, they should start resolving their support tickets once in a while (I have an unanswered one since March 2018 as an example)
They clearly aren't hurting for users.

If you think about it, they certainly do garner a lot of money from shitcoins. But it's not even the airdroppers -- you have to understand, there are plenty of ignorant users that YoBit capitalizes upon. They even have their outrageous dice game with a crazy house edge and their "IEO" pump & dumps. All these can interest newbies or even perhaps older users that think they have a chance of earning money with low-volume/mcap coins.

just about anything on IB is crooked and not trustable on their site... and anything worthwhile; carries a hefty minimum risk every day...  you are scamming yourself.

some time ago, you could easily spot the traps because bots were trading in sub-minimum allowed amounts...

The constant forks/re-consolidations/denomination changes, and other such nonsense.... I just don't get how people fall for it.  Its soo obvious....  

The thing I never understood is: their ETC free .01/day.... where did it come from?   It originally was enabled somewhere just after the recent big ETC blunder.  I acquired quite a bit before the section went offline; and it sits in my coinbase account now....

I have some very interesting unanswered support tickets as well;  such as asking why they keep a sidechain of VSX/XVS (VSync) up when clearly every other exchange is on a completely different chain....   Or why they refuse to update certain wallets by deleting the blockchain and rebuilding it as is needed in their case....  their attempt at fixing it is just turning the wallet back on for a few days so the status changes slightly....

I never liked having to send a micro TX for fear of not receiving my actual full TX....

They deserve what has happened;  I just wished I had been warned before the sig ban instead of thinking my account was hacked due to a changed sig....


*edit*
imagine this "IB strategy":
Take mass funds (most IB require .1-1BTC worth of investment)
Dump mass funds dropping price after enough of a bankroll is gathered.
Watch price drop and buyback at lower rate.

Everyone screwed who used IB.


This is probably whats happening.

I was on their sig campaign, but i was one of the actual good posters and never changed my habbits when I joined the program...
but...


They did not care about the forum campaign rules as I figured out as time went on;   they only topped off the payment wallet once or twice a year last year...   and my guess is the spammers were in bounty and other sub-forums I didnt visit, because I never really saw many yobit ads in the altcoin or hardware sections.  They never had any active campaign managers, and they have extremely poor tech support.   Their concept of trying to get a wallet online is re-launching the wallet and hoping their blockchain doesnt need rebuilt, or they will just offline the wallet again....  Theres a huge list of issues I have had with yobit personally, and to be fair;  I have tried to help out many many people on this forum whom have been scammed with something in relation to yobit; weather it was them falling for a telegram scam, having a hacked browser extension, visiting a fake yobit site, depositing incorrect funds to incorrect wallets.... the list goes on as well.....


I will admit;  the only thing that kept me on their sig campaign was the fact they paid .0003BTC flat per post to legendary.    Nobody came close to paying that.    On the days/weeks where things were busy for me on this forum (like when I was updating my batches a year or two ago, or when XMR is going through upgrades)  I could easily get an extra $40-150 in crypto just by doing what i was gonna do anyways.  During the height of 15K+ BTC...  I was legitimately making a ridiculous amount of coin.... and it paid 80% of my living expenses since I have been on disability and sick for several years.

Rock and a hard place... y'know?

No, you are just not allowed to use the high-power scam flags -- intended mainly for punishing people, not really for preemptively warning about scams -- without first being scammed. You can still use the newbie-warning flags and negative ratings, which have plenty of warning power.
I suppose we did want differing degrees of severity in regards to negative feedback. I'll have to give this some more thought and form a more substantiated opinion as discussion develops.
Is there any message indicator for when a user PMs a flagged user? I know that some users have tried to sneak their way into scamming others in sections that hide trust ratings (and now flag markers).

I agree with this;   having a scaled impact value vs.  a simple yes/no;  needs to be considered IMHO.  I have seen people with negative trust;  just because they were duped into advertising for a scam unknowingly.....

In the same regard; my Yobit banner could potentially have harmed me if yobit truly went south for the winter and started ripping everyone off blatantly (which i personally am surprised they haven't yet); because for me;  the sig was just a way to put a little coin in my pocket for doing the same thing I have always done;  help in the areas I can help in;  when I am physically/mentally able to do so.....  Never once did I advocate anyone use them or go out of my way to shill for them;  I would only suggest people go in and hit up the free coins when there was something worth nabbing (like the free .01 ETC every 24 hours), or when I was gung-ho on a [still in progress] "coin" that I believe the project has merit (as a DEX)....
Shit; I already have a negative distrust from some asshat on the old system for my yobit banner;  with literally no real reasoning for it other than I would rebut or continue the discussion with logical processes and analysis in my process of trying to help them through the issue they were having.    I think it might even be the guy whom sent an ETH smartcontract token set to his ETH wallet on yobit;  which they have never supported..... he was quite butthurt at my honest curt replies.

Innocent until proven guilty, sure. But with this one it is unflagged until victim proves scammer guilty. If no victim acts on the flag, then nothing is done. You are not allowed to flag without first being scammed.

No, you are just not allowed to use the high-power scam flags -- intended mainly for punishing people, not really for preemptively warning about scams -- without first being scammed. You can still use the newbie-warning flags and negative ratings, which have plenty of warning power.

 Yeah;  but here's the rub;  If you dont have evidence of a scam;  it's a blind accusation from you in the eyes of everyone else with an objective mind.....  so that's a double edged sword of a concept to try and modify that way.  Even if the people who trust you see it;  they have nothing on it past your say so;  that doesn't fly in the online world unless you are truly respected by even the people who havent conversed with you.   Very few people reach that status in any regard. (at the same time, I am baffled why people put so much stock into actors' opinions these days)

Theymos seems to be getting bullied around by some very ANGRY dt scammers and their gang right now. Let's hope theymos has some REAL supporters who want to see fair and transparent rules applied equally to all members.
I have two problems with the reputation + flag system.

One: we have to go back and find our flaggable tags. Although you'll have the negative reputation points, one thing that is missing is the newbie flag. They are still likely to fall prey to a scammer.

Two: flags can only be created by victims. This means that when a flag is created, the scammer will have most likely already gotten what they wanted.

I think this is why one option is for heavy scam potential;  vs. an actual accusation of a scam that happened....

Innocent until proven guilty must still hold; or everything falls apart quickly...

After reading this, and the other SM/QS/TEC/Lauda threads for good entertainment and some drama;

you sir; are definitely blocked from hereon out.

Such disgusting vocabulary and sentence structure.... I just can't anymore...  

Ill have to make due with the quotes of your illogical and emotional mutterings as i'm forced to see them while scrolling through threads.



To all the affected parties who have been discussing this:  I feel your pain;  from both sides of the spectrum.

I hope you guys can find a way to sort this out and be more productive towards/with each other soon.


My only random comment:  People with power don't always know they are abusing it; but many do.  Please try and curb the idiocracy be amicable....   I have had good dealings with most of you in the past... and hate seeing people needlessly flogging dead horses.

FYI: one one-above-all-god-complex-dude:  I can't see your reply.

And out of 21 "articles" on their front page
6 are 100% not crypto related.
4 are only very slightly crypto related.

Think that might have something to do with it?

-Dave

true.... but still regardless of that minor detail... the google search numbers speak louder than anything;  they have been getting very good at censoring people for the wrong reasons:  I.E. look at youtube.

Sorry, but no.
Going to CCN right now on my laptop the 1st thing on the page is about Tesla stock, below that something about the dow.

Google has been getting much stricter about "relevant content".
I can have the worlds best site the Honda VFR800 motorcycles. If my top 2 things are about cat videos and a chocolate cake baking company I am going to take a hit.

Going down the page, oh look, a 2nd article about Tesla, something else there about the Boeing 737.

Sorry, it's not finance news, it's not business news, it's supposed to be about crypto.

If everything on the 1st page was about crypto I would wonder if google is censoring....but it's not. Google is just doing their job of....wait for it...displaying relevant search results.

If I want to read about Tesla stock I will go to the WSJ or Bloomberg.

-Dave


you must not understand the link tesla has had with in the crypto space; along with how companies like his effect the crypto world.   All good.  I don't fault others for thinking with a set of blinders on; I will point it out though.  There are a myriad of societal issues that directly impact the crypto space if you take the blinders off and at least attempt look at the whole picture.... I am willing to bet you didn't even read the articles, so you have no clue what the actual content and message of the articles were.


Its not that their links weren't showing up for purely crypto searches;  they were almost literally smeared off the board....   and I personally have serious doubts you read the article originally linked at this point.

Just read the article: https://www.ccn.com/ccn-is-shutting-down-after-googles-june-2019-core-update

Interesting.


I have a suspicion that a big part of their content being filtered is the larger number of right-leaning posts/articles that have peen posted in the past few months;  just check their article title history.


What are your thoughts on the matter?  Did you browse their articles regularly along with the other news sites?

335  Other / Meta / Re: Your bitcointalk IP log for the past 30 days now available. on: June 06, 2019, 10:19:15 PM
Well, people should change their email and passwords from time to time if they want to follow the right secure practices. So I see one more positive thing in having access to your IP logs, then more people will be "scared" and change them.
I disagree with that. You can't go around changing your password if the IP-data isn't making sense to you. You'd just be wasting time otherwise. The different countries or zones could be the internet service provider assigning you dynamic IP addresses maybe? In my case, I have a static IP and the location is very accurate so any change in my location will be highly suspicious as seen in the bitcointalk logs. If I had a dynamic IP, I'll keep in mind the zones I'm assigned into. For instance, if living in UK I can expect to have zones from UK/Europe but a zone from India will be highly unlikely to be assigned and hence I can go ahead changing my password.

Exactly as I said before.
If you have dynamic IP this kind of tracking see your pc as a pc of on "lan owned by your ISP" and the location can be in a place near you.

If the location is shown is very far from your location or in another country that means that your account can be not safe.

Also something to note:

If you check your account from a cellphone; the location can be wildly different than your actual location;  for instance, I am in California, but when on my cellphone, the IP will show as Texas, or Washington... sometimes on the east coast....
336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: wich linux is best for mining? on: June 06, 2019, 08:19:13 PM
you can set up any flavor of linux you prefer;  I use Ubuntu 16.04 on my rigs/servers.

Stability may hint at an underlying issue with the machine (power supply ripple, failing capacitors, bad memory, etc)  FYI.

If you wish to set up a miner that runs off a USB boot drive, if your server has enough ram; you could always use a ramdisk for the OS.... but that's asking a LOT of ram, so I suggest using a SSD.
337  Other / Meta / Re: Your bitcointalk IP log for the past 30 days now available. on: June 06, 2019, 06:58:47 PM
my connection is always funneled through the same private IP... so its easy for me to see if something is fishy.   And what would you know;  only one IP on the list Wink 
338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BUBBLE || alpha software in testing demo up big news on: June 06, 2019, 06:56:05 PM
Before I ever do any large transfers, I typically will try sending one or 5 coins first.... eliminate any chance of major issue.... but lets see whats going on;  at least there's a change now.


I sort-of think being on CB could be a good thing as well;   even though the final bubble network will be basically the same type of service built in.

Yobit's wallet shows 358,284 blocks and "delayed" status (a bit less than my wallet is showing);  maybe their wallet is still rebuilding the blockchain?  I can see a withdraw pane, but no access to deposit.   This is the first time I have ever seen "delayed" on their wallet status.


Let's try and diagnose this:
What is the blockheight in your wallet? (help->debug console)
How many nodes are connected to your wallet when its online?
When is the last time you synced your blockchain?

I may have to install the wallet on one of my servers and open a port to the public;  right now my wallet is behind some rather intense firewalls.



FYI:  Im still on the right chain, and matching the explorer blockheight:

At this point:
I'm willing to bet some serious cash that YoBit let the wallet go offline in order to accomplish two tasks:

1:  Selloff all mined coins the exchange has received from staking with their whale wallet.
2:  Attempt a hostile chain takeover and continue from the last block that they signed after all other wallets gave up on the project.


I am 100% certain #1 is true and has happened (explaining how you got your bag, or possibly Mick sold some of his that were stuck on the exchange).
#2 is purely speculation; but I think something along those lines could be a possibility, but its doubted at this point.   YoBit has a history of letting wallets go offline/off chain, and continuing them off chain.  They have several wallets ( to name two of them: NKA and VSync [XVS/VSX] ) that are and have been off chain, forever.   Thousands of complaints on these, from people whom did not test a Tx on a small coin/network before diving into the pool.
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New to gpu mining help???? on: June 04, 2019, 07:52:13 AM
My understanding is the best share diff greater than/equal to network Diff=solved block.
I have only mined for bitcoin in the past, after the bitmain antminer rush.

I really dont understand much in the gpu world

Thanks for your info JaredKaragen

P.S. I'm solo mining

yeah, I could tell by the pool stratum, etc....

The whole idea of the pool using less than network diff shares, is so it can calculate your hashrate and averages to give you mining statistics;  if the share was at network diff, you would know nothing about the mining statistics till it reported a block.


Just gotta let it keep on goin, and see how long it takes.

you can also check for web mining calculators to see how much time [estimated] it would take your your hashrate to find a block at current diff....
340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New to gpu mining help???? on: June 04, 2019, 06:17:11 AM
it looks like your miners are hashing and reporting shares.


Look at your mining pool to see if you have been the finder of any blocks or what your credits are for.

for instance in the first photo, you see info for
A: accepted shares (total)
R: rejected shares (total)
HW: Hardware errors (total)
WU: Workunits processed

your shares accepted are going to be at the stratum issued difficulty or higher;  a block could be substantially greater than that.

I suggest looking into how the different pool systems work to get a feel for what you are doing when mining to a pool (PPS, PPNS, PPLNS, etc) and what shares are for; because they apply weather you are finding the block or not.

I am willing to bet you are working off a stratum assigned difficulty, and not the actual block/network difficulty for your submitted shares which is why you have submitted shares.  Doing research above like I mentioned, and it will make this clear.
