3301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / ETH/BTC price as percent on: January 23, 2021, 12:29:44 PM
Congratulations Ethereum enthusiasts and investors with the new all time high for Ethereum about $1400.

I have the chart for Ethereum price as percent of Bitcoin price. The photo is taken from skew.com's Tweet
As percent of bitcoin price, Etherum has min at 0.2%, max at 15% and today it is 3.85%. If bitcoin won't rise more but Ethereum increases more and claims it 15% again, its price can be $4785. The price will blow my mind away.

Forum has ban for ban evasion so how about this case as MCW was banned by theymos as continuously troll

[CENSORSHIP] Matthew N. Wright. If the Bitcoin SV is under the ownership of MCW, it can be considered as ban evasion.

Yes, he is banned. Recently I partially removed his ban so he could PM people, but clearly this was a mistake.

He was trolling continuously. He hasn't changed: He edited that poll after people had already voted to create misleading results.

First possibility:
The double spend did not happen indeed. Read the actual news,

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-double-spend-that-never-happened

So, that was a FUD by the media. I don't know if such kind of news has a power to bring down the market to this level. I don't think so!

Second possibility:
A record $3.7 billion worth of Bitcoin options are set to expire on January 29, 2021. Quote from the source:

https://www.businessinsider.co.za/bitcoin-price-options-record-expiry-speculation-derivatives-2021-1
It's a FUD. Double spend on bitcoin network. No as there is no financial returns for attackers if they have and readily to spend expensive cost to do attack.

Why the double spend attack happened this year, not years ago when mining pools under control of Bitman have almost or more than 51% total hashrates on the network. The attack can only be done by very big pools when they combine their hashrates. It is impossible for a single guy, group outside those pools to steal hashrates and run attacks.

Question for Coinswap

Which chain the Nakitcoins.com and its coinswap feature supports for Tether USD (USDT)?
- Do you support TRC20 chain as the fee on this chain is very cheap if compares to OMNI layer on Bitcoin network or ERC20 on Ethereum network?
- If it does not support TRC20 chain, I hope the team will consider to support it.
- No one knows how cheap the fee on ERC20 chain will be after Ethereum 2.0 goes live.

Question for Crypto Calculator
- The site and calculator supports only 4 currencies now: Bitcoin, Ethereum, US dollar and Euro.
- Do you plan to support other fiat currency?
- That site gives support for many fiat.
- Include the milibitcoin unit can be good too (mBTC unit). For other bitcoin units, I don't think they are necessary.

Thanks and have an awesome weekend.

Hey guys thanks for your support and replies. I sent to the same btc address earlier that same day about 30mins apart and the btc came through instantly. (bc1qdyxc2hx23ncp4jc4z0wgv98dvvsrs6f8h9n4jk) is the recipients address. The transaction ID: d4c23f9abc4b9a5485d1b8957f601644269e5990effab9205e6f49f99e348f09
This transaction was successful.

I did another transaction roughly 30mins after which is transaction ID: cb6b3866e1de1f393a434a469a1029a752f71690f172fb9d30e780903324403a which hasn't been received.
So now have you see the amount of bitcoin in your wallet or account? The amount you sent with this hash: cb6b3866e1de1f393a434a469a1029a752f71690f172fb9d30e780903324403a

I asked this question because I found another transaction to the same address, and it is the newest one that was sent around 2 hours after that transaction you got trouble.
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/127e6d9ae9d2fa8fd76207fca1ddd14b6152c2243a6de395435adc1c7ab7ee21
That one was confirmed too.

I doubt that if you are the sender, why did you take risk to send another amount if the problem is not solved yet?

If you got that trouble with account on third party platform, you need to contact their support as sometimes system will fail to credit balance to your account. It can be from the platform you are using or from a third party provider for that platform. Anyway, only solution: contact support.

I could go on and on for hours here. Bitcoin isn't the only asset that can easily be moved by negative/positive press.
News we are hearing, reading or watching are only tips of iceberg. Many things were prepared and done before the news/ press releases. They are triggers but not real reasons.

Trading or investing with the total dependence on news are terrible.
3307  Other / Meta / Re: Get Donator status by donating 10 BTC on: January 21, 2021, 01:25:20 PM
Probably not but that all depends on the specific campaign. Most won't accept a Copper member merely based on that rank as it's the signature size they're interested in which comes with higher ranks. You can check out a list of the campaigns at the following link but I can't see any that offer payments based on Copper Membership so I'd concentrate on achieving rank first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0;topicseen
As I know, there were few bounties, signature campaigns that accept Copper members with the same rates for Members. Newbies with Copper membership can join and enjoy the same rate. You are right that it is not too popular and also campaigns that accept Member ranks are very little.

Achieve ranks also help to increase knowledge then quality of posts that are helpful to be competitive when apply in good campaigns.

And with Bitcoin, make sure you store it in a non-custodial wallet. Start small with Bitamp and Electrum to learn the ropes, before upgrading to a hardware wallet.
I agree. Non custodial wallets are the best for control of wallet and fund. The recent upgrades from Bitstamp makes it more sucks for users. It only reminds us that how important non-custodial wallets are in crypto.

You use their service, make deposits to their companies and if you don't want to prove, disclose your withdrawal address, your fund will be stucked. No privacy, no anonymity.

    Bitstamp will now require Dutch users to link their identity to off-exchange withdrawal addresses.
    It is one of the first major exchanges to introduce this rule.
    Though the rule was introduced in response to Dutch regulations, similar regulations are under consideration in the U.S.

I don't care about fantasy tweets from big names in tech community. Why do I have to care about them while they for years, for so long don't care about bitcoin or crypto currency. Some of them had negative thoughts on bitcoin, crypto and now when they suddenly make a few fantasy tweets about bitcoin or altcoins, people are mad with their tweets.

Please stop feeding those fantasy tweets. You maybe have better knowledge and have more experience with crypto market than those big names

McAfee, JP Morgan, Elon Musk, hm, none of them are real bitcoiners.
3310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest Bitcoin fork is our destiny on: January 20, 2021, 07:24:09 AM
And finally just because some coins are burnt (provably lost) that doesn't mean we have to create a fork to "un-burn" them and enter them into circulation. Satoshi discussed this once if I'm not mistaken, unless a ridiculous number of coins are provably burnt (something like 18 million BTC send to OP_RETURN for example) and the lack of circulating supply is felt, there is no reason for any kind of action.
Altcoins with their premined, minted coins or tokens have many burn events and they love to compromise their premined/ minted amount. They get rich from beginning (with premined, minted amount) and get richer with burn events. Events to burn are for altcoins, not for bitcoin. The event only causes unreal feelings on scarcity of those altcoins but it is feasible to use and make altcoin investors mad with their decisions.
3311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: January 20, 2021, 06:51:21 AM
This really shows that Leicester is a good team despite selling some of their best players to Chelsea e.g Kante, Chilwell and Drinkwater they filled their positions with Ndidi, Castagne and Barnes they still went ahead and defeat Chelsea, Brenden Rodgers is going a great job
Many season passed since the one they won the trophy with Claudio Ranieri, Kante, Drinkwater and Vardy. Only Vardy stays at the club and manages to show his best ability for the Fox. He began his career too late, became famous too late but it is impressive to see Vardy is keeping up his good forms in Premier League.

The table is looking like the beginning of the season where smaller teams are seen as title contenders. All attention on Leicester as they recently beat Chelsea and topped the table but also keep an eye to Everton.

Man U and Man City should retake the the 1-2 position when they play later today. Who else is wishing a Man City-Aston Villa draw?  Grin
Leceister City is far better than Aston Villa or Everton as in the last season, they fighted for the fourth position with Manchester United till the last match and also their direct clash. Leicestery lost that match and lost the 4th postion to Man Utd. This season, what they are performing is amazing and it is a continuity for the good they had in the last season.

While Aston Villa or Everton only play well in this season. I don't say they are weaker than Leicester City but Leicester City have more experience for the top 4 races or Premier League trophy race.
3312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Etherum overtake bitcoin marketcap? on: January 20, 2021, 06:26:49 AM
As of now, Bitcoin's Market cap is around $674,011,136,456 at $36K which means Ether would have to be worth $5,895 each in order to achieve that market cap at the current circulating supply of 114,321,183 ETH.

Ask yourself this, do you think Ether's price can rise by almost 500% while Bitcoin's price just remains stagnant at $36K?
Agree with you. The marketcap of bitcoin is very bigger than marketcap of Ethereum.

The question could be: "Will Ethereum can flip bitcoin in the future to be the King in cryptocurrency?" It is a question, not marketcap (as Ethereum has huge supply). In 2018, when marketcap of Ethereum came closer to marketcap of bitcoin, people talked about flippening that did not happen.

Now the marketcap difference is big and Ethereum already rises a lot from its bottom and get its new all time high. 5 more times from the current all time high. Is it too much? I think it is but I will not surprise when Ethereum get a price x5 from now. Some DeFi tokens in 2020 have price more than $10k, $40k, so why not Ethereum.

But in fact I don't bet on it.


Off-topic question: Do you guys remember the flippening of Ripple on Ethereum?

It's possible for you as an entrepreneur, I know very well that everyone taught I'm looking up to government work to be earn $500 within six hours, no, it's obvious that money comes due to the way we strategies our business, and the money is too small compare to money some entrepreneur's generate before six hours but we are seeing it in another perspective, looking as eve is difficult to generate it, the final destination to generate $500 with six hours is plans only.
It is what scammers try to advertise their services. Believe me, those guys are mainly scammers or from PONZI groups.

A kindful and wise person who are able to earn with that rate would be very happy to enjoy own works and earn money. It is not necessary for the person to run a service and get pressures, pains from customers.

Even you know the right person, a method is good for one person might not work for you or other else. The market is not built and bring profits for all.

As for passwords ... I would recommend thinking about a password manager like LastPass or KeePass.
Good topics on security and privacy

3314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I predict stricter regulations for bitcoin and the cryptospace for 2021-2024 on: January 19, 2021, 05:10:27 AM
Trump, Biden or any future presidency will have stricter regulations on bitcoin and cryptocurrency. They have to do so as they don't want to let cryptocurrencies easily beat their systems. It is what they must do to prevent their system collapse or simply to prolong the time it will happen. Their systems have big flaws and are failures but they have to protect theirs.

How many years since the Genesis block? More than 10 years.
How many times the bitcoin has witnessed stricter regulations? I don't know, but it is a lot. The price is on rise despite of regulations.

Prepare for stricter regulations but please be positive.
3315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest Bitcoin fork is our destiny on: January 19, 2021, 03:51:24 AM
More or less all of us aware that there are dead bitcoins (wrong transfers, forgotten private keys, etc), i read that there are almost 3m bitcoins dead and every year bitcoins are dying, so i think there will be a critic number of dead bitcoins, if we reach it, there must be a correction for the dead bitcoins, maybe the new fork will allow re-mining the lost bitcoins. But the problem is how can we say an acount is dead? We have to find an answer for this question.
Dead. They are not dead bitcoins and bitcoin is not dead. You are using the inaccurate phrase. The correct phrase is lost bitcoin. They are lost bitcoin from people who create those wallets and sent bitcoins in those addresses. They lost private keys, then lost those bitcoins or they get health issues, accidents, no one knows what happened with them.

Why do we need to remine those lost bitcoin? It help bitcoin becomes more scarcity and the fact is life is oneway process and bitcoin network is irreversible, the same.

There are hundreds of forks from bitcoin but they are forked to steal your bitcoin. How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!

2/ the person who have btc don't move it because there is a risk for is identity.
Those Bitcoin don't need to be moved. If I was satoshi, I would have mined bitcoin in another anonymous wallet that no one knows about it. I would have planned that I will never touch the bitcoin in Genesis block and the wallet that I disclosed to the community.

I read a topic on nonce of bitcoin transactions from satoshi. I did not save that topic so can not give you a link now.
3318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin price had not crashed in 2018 on: January 18, 2021, 05:17:07 AM
Crash is bad as it causes bubble burst and fear for new investors. I would like to see healthy corrections or pull backs, not crashes but it is the market that does not owe any of us, and it operates with its laws.

If you see parabolic rises of bitcoin in 2017, the crash is not a surprise but bitcoin is redefine the overbought definition. The overbought of bitcoin is far from any other market that last longer and can even trigger Overbought expansion before crash happens. If you look at crash in a few months, one year, it is terrible but with 4 years, it is fine.

I see the crash of bitcoin is good for the market in 4 year run and it is better than altcoin crashes. Altcoin rose a lot in 2017 and very early of 2018 and many of them killed their investors in 2018 and 2019.
3319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin price had not crashed in 2018 on: January 18, 2021, 03:44:07 AM
It can’t go straight up forever. Corrections are healthy for the market and Bitcoin has also shown to have a pretty reliable 4 year cycle as a result of the scheduled block reward halvings.
The scheduled block halving years are more interesting as they overlap with Presidential Election years. Political and social economic status affects financial and crypto markets.

I don't know that satoshi did thought of the things when he decided to mine the Genesis block in 2009 and coded the 4 year halving scheduleds for bitcoin. If satoshi did planned all the things, he is a genius and very well planned for all his bitcoin works. Satoshi is a game changer.

Do you have to leave Bisq software open and running if you have posted an offer there?
There is notification for mobile as I know. Mobile notifications. It is available for iOS and Android: https://bisq.network/downloads/

When you have an opened trade, you need leave your computer running online to get payment details from the trade partner and do the necessary payment from your side to finish that trade. You need to pay attention on the timer before it runs out of time. To be a good trader, you should finish your trade (if the trade partner completes the payment) with your trade partner.

Bisq only gives you notification and details if a bitcoin transaction has its first confirmation on the network.

Quote
4. Send payment

Now that you’ve taken an offer, it’s almost time to pay the seller.

First, before showing you the seller’s payment details, Bisq will wait for the Bitcoin network to confirm the trade’s transactions. On average, this takes 10 minutes.

Then, you’ll see a pop-up with the seller’s details. Go ahead and pay the seller through the agreed payment method.
