3201  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Segwit Adoption. I looked at some data, and we are not there yet. on: October 19, 2020, 05:38:20 PM
Can you do one with only addresses that have been received over the past year?

Some people probably haven't bothered updating and a few might not even know about it... For both bitcoin core and electrum you have to make a new wallet and it took me about a year to do that myself so.... I think Hardware wallets have also taken a longer amount of time to update them to use segwit (although trezor's Web client does suggest you update from legacy).
3202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Verify Multiple Signature on: October 19, 2020, 01:37:01 PM
I don't know if you'll find a gui that will accept multiple signatures all at once.

You could probably make something in the console like:
addresses = list of addresses
Signatures = list of signatures
messages = list of messages
For loop in range(len(addresses))
                Print(verifysignature(messages[loop],addresses[loop],signature[loop]))

But I don't know the exact commands from memory and you'll have to know a little python...
3203  Other / Meta / Re: Embedding youtube videos on the forum. - why not? on: October 19, 2020, 01:29:27 PM
Yeah like the others have said it'll be for tracking and security.

Images are proxies via the forum for this reason and may be stripped ofalicious parts or trackers thst can identify the person who accessed the forum page. The same should theoretically happen with videos and then there'd be the question as to who to whitelist? Would you just include YouTube and look preferential or would you go further to unbanning other sites and allowing them to track user activity?
3204  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I Can't Login To My Blockchain Account. on: October 19, 2020, 01:23:54 PM
Try it in incognito/a different browser.

You could try removing cache on that browser you're using along with any add ons or plugins you might not be using. If it's happened multiple times with that site then it's probably something to do with your instance of it that's been cached or something.
3205  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will 2017/2018 Bullrun repeat in 2021? on: October 19, 2020, 11:07:21 AM
Could be either of those two...

We've got a year plus until bitcoin could see another peak if we're basing stuff off the past. We could be on a mini run due to institutions investing now too which could top out anywhere above here (I feel 12.5k at least should be reached before we drop but I'm very unsure on that... We could just stop at 11.8 or whatever we managed to reach before)..
3206  Other / Meta / Re: Full transparency on the forum? Why not? on: October 18, 2020, 11:17:36 PM
Reporting posts successfully is what's stopping them...

Even on the report screen it shows a message saying it doesn't want you to reflect on your reporting accuracy...

Transparent polls sounds like a problem in general. Sure you could have an option for it here or you could just ask people to write what they voted for (the solids and some of the swingers would write it, the rest could be assumed to be swing voters or just not want to say)... Why force it?
3207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Compiling error (chainparams.cpp: Permission denied) on: October 18, 2020, 07:10:48 PM
Can you run sudo chmod 640 Filename?
Putting the name of the chainparams thing where filename is...

Not sure why it isn't like that but essentially:
6 is read and write permission of the file (and zeroth order means it applies to the super user)
4 is read and applies to your account.
And 0 is for anyone else with access so they can't do anything with the file unless they can invoke the same superuser.

I'd also recommend searching the code before inputting it to not trust a "random".
3208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Compiling error (chainparams.cpp: Permission denied) on: October 18, 2020, 06:53:09 PM
Are you able to find the file? It might be in src (or it'll be in its children if it's not in the root)...

If you locate it, ls -l on the folder and see what permissions it has. (this is just a general Linux punt though).
3209  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How and where invest 500€ on: October 18, 2020, 05:08:32 PM
Do you know what you want to invest in? I think bitcoin is the most populært option, followed by ethereum.

I'd suggest looking at a site like coin market cap and only investing in the top few (5-10) coins by market cap if you wanted to diversify.

The safest way to profit from any investment you think will go up in value is to hold the coins until it does and you're happy with the new value.
3210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Database corrupt question on: October 18, 2020, 04:57:27 PM
If you've got enough space on the drive. Try placing core and the backup (potentially in a new partition of the drive if you're used to tja) and see if it will be able to use that.. Make sure you run it with the -datadir extension from a command line linking to where you've placed the backup (don't work directly from the backup).

If not you'll have to reindex the whole chain at least once as it'll work through the full 300 GB.
3211  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Too high fees warning on: October 18, 2020, 01:30:51 PM
Electrum gives a warning when you're trying to spend a fee that's more than a few % of the transaction (I think it's around 5%).

As pointed out above it could be that there's more inputs to the transaction (even with the same wallet), it's a different wallet, or there's a variation in the fee rate.
3212  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: October 16, 2020, 06:02:58 AM
Who should the people responsible be for Lightning's business development?

No one, after all Bitcoin community (and some open source) is powered by volunteer.

or "everyone" Smiley

those who refuse to provide incoming liquidity to others are not helping the network (including those who charge a fee to do so, but that's my opinion and their prerogative)

we can all help the situation by identifying nodes with low or no incoming liquidity, and providing it to them by opening a channel. I realize that there's potentially more fees to be earned opening channels to nodes with higher routing throughput, but ultimately, a better connected network is stronger (and more profitable in all aspects) than a centralized network. There will doubtless be a limit to how may channels it's useful for a single routing node to have, although I am unsure what that limit is (it's likely related to the amount of traffic on the network considered over a long timeframe, as well as how much BTC a node has to put into the network).


Altruism. But reality is, without incentives, Bitcoiner's can't be expected to take/accept the opportunity cost to lock their capital, Bitcoins, in Lightning channels.

Leading on from that topic, does electrum lightning allow capacity to be added (it'd not just lnd) I found a wire in the back of my router I was going to use to put a node on a pi, I could instead open 30 channels with 0.003 btc on each capacity wise to help fund the network a bit more and I think it's a pretty cheap way to do it as well... (this is all dependent on whether I remembered to bring a hdmi cable with me as lockdown will make it difficult for me to source one I think).
3213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is new occupation on: October 15, 2020, 06:53:51 PM
Since capitalism (~1700ad) it's been a job afaik.

Banks are traders too essentially and people like Warren buffet have claimed to make 50%+ interest a year when he had a small <1m fund and there's normally always something that grows well that's not been noticed yet if you were to keep a look out afaik.

It does look like an easier way to enter though than stocks (the lack of kyc is quite nice too).
3214  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Receiving bitcoins tp my electrum wallet on: October 15, 2020, 06:49:48 PM
No it's perfectly fine, addresses don't expire.

If you value privacy then it's recommended you use a new address each time you want to receive funds...
3215  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Coinbase sponsors two Bitcoin developers! on: October 15, 2020, 06:46:39 PM
I wonder what string they have attached with it. They are all about in business so obviously they have plans to pull out something out of it. It's just hard to believe Coinbase doing anything for nothing.

Good move from Coinbase and I expect other crypto related companies to follow their e xample, and we want to see more interesting development around Bitcoin.
Not sure if I will call it good.

Yeah I agree with that... If they don't want something now, they'll want it sooner than we will want them to be able to...

US companies look good for extortion and predatory business practices, that could be brought across into cryptocurrency and cause a lot of chain splits.
3216  Economy / Economics / Re: The cryptocurrency Exchangers are just dublicates of Old school stock Exchange on: October 15, 2020, 05:58:48 PM
Don't a lot of stock exchanges trade bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies already? The main one I can think of is AJ Bell but it won't be limited to just them afaik (of the regular long standing exchanges not like etoro, Robin Hood etc).

A lot of these exchanges have either split operation or want to try something new. If you've got a team and produce everything in house, it's probably not too expensive for them...
3217  Economy / Economics / Re: Can a new $2 trillion bill bring back the US economy to pre pandemic levels. on: October 15, 2020, 07:55:28 AM
It'd be interesting if this becomes the new way governments deal with economic crashes in the future (and a welcomed one).

If they follow that advice and only invest in the people rather than the markets/walls St then they'll do much better for everyone...
3218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia blocks localbitcoins on: October 15, 2020, 06:14:47 AM
More reasons for people to use other better P2P exchanges such as HodlHodl[1] and Bisq[2]. Like seriously, LocalBitcoins should be irrelevant know due to pretty much little to no difference between these exchanges(besides probably the thicker orderbooks on LocalBitcoins).


[1] https://hodlhodl.com/
[2] https://bisq.network/

Yeah I was kinda disappointed with the $250 limit on bisq... Hopefully those will increase sson - I think even good history accounts have a limit risk of $1k... And bisq likes tor, not sure if that's fully legal over there..

I imagine there's a game the east are playing as to who can make crypto illegal last while maintaining control over their citizens (but not making it look like there's too much control or something). And they're probably under pressure since people with enough knowhow to use bitcoin, probanly have enough to leave the country and get a job elsewhere....
3219  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie needs advice on sending USD to the US from Crypto Exchange on: October 14, 2020, 11:31:09 PM
Is it only USD you're after specifically or is it any currency that isn't correlated with arg/as inflationary?

It might be easier to look at the same sites tu pure using but withdrawing euros to a European bank account. In general European markets have a lot less regulations than the US do as they're slightly less lawless than the US is and keep their borders a little more open too...

Not sure how the stablecoins work but usdc or dai migtt be a good option for holding a US pegged value without having to deal with a US bank account.
3220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: c-lightning node issues on: October 14, 2020, 03:32:42 PM

But will it be listed even if it's behind Tor? Well, my friend told me his node is also behind Tor and it shows up in that site. I thought it wasn't supposed that nodes behind Tor to be publicly listed...Huh?

Tor hides YOU it doesn't hide the node from other peuole seeing it.

Your friends node advertised his onion to whoever he connects to afaik so they can build up potential routes through him.
I think another user here mentioned about not being listed though so it might just be random gør the site to load.

Did the channel open?
