If you sent about $32 then yes I think so?

The input to that transaction had around $5000 so they could be hoping you send it again and don't care...

It looks to have confirmed 2-3 weeks ago also?
3302  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoins sent, but no receipt at destination on: October 02, 2020, 05:57:30 PM
1. Yes
2. Not really (he's either scamming you or he has some sort of virus that changed the address he copied, both of which would be his problem).
3. No the ID should be all that is needed.

Can you post the transaction ID here so we can check it's definitely confirmed?. If you're not comfortable doing that, click the transaction ID in blockchain.com and send us something about the block (either the hash or the height) that it was included in.

I know that DeFi is more than what I have shared. Can't we get Banking services through DeFi? I guess we can.

Enjoy the rabbit hole there Grin (research).

And yes we can definitely get Banking services through defi. If its possible to show a qr code on a trezor screen (which it is) it's also possible to show it on a PoS system (chip and pin device).

In crypto £5000 isn't much... That's kinda more interesting that not many people have many crypto assets going through coinbase in the UK.

Dunno if it makes much sense to contact coinbase though and not just contact a bank? Are banks no longer compliant with tax regulations or do they use both?
3305  Economy / Economics / Re: Can DeFi be called Decentralized Bank? on: October 02, 2020, 05:10:52 PM
In short: no.

Defi is more than just put down funds and get a return or you take out a margin.

In the financial sector, the banking part is probably only a few percent of the pie. The other financial sectors such as cfds and shares make up huge amounts of the sector with leverage taking up other amounts. I think we have leverage platforms on defi either fully functioning or in testnet now and those will be more attractive than just borrowing and paying back...
3306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Using snap to install core on: October 02, 2020, 03:05:21 PM
I think snap is considered as safe as the repositories you can also install from for Ubuntu? I thought it was run by the same people tbh. You're probably fine using it, it doesn't take much more to install core from source - especially if you have the dependencies - if you are paranoid. You can also just download the binaries too afaik from the official site and those seem to work when I've tried them on Linux.

With number 1 at the very least you've lost both of your anonymity.
If you weren't willing to share that you have the account here with them, why are you trusting their computer to be secure? Also why aren't you using incognito to log in on foreign machines if you do trust them enough...

2. Potentially. If its still enough like the article then yes, if its completely reframed and put into their own words with stuff they've put in added into it then potentially not. I think there's a point where work turns from plagiarism of to inspired by.
3308  Economy / Economics / Re: Stocks fall down due to trump catching the virus on: October 02, 2020, 12:52:40 PM
Has he confirmed catching the virus or is it just speculation?

I think bitcoins price movement was a standard move also and not influenced greatly by external factors....
3309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CFTC, Department of Justice file charges against BitMEX on: October 02, 2020, 04:24:30 AM
Wait isn't this the same things that the big banks just got caught doing for foreign nationals coming into the united states?

Just taking a stab in the dark here but I could probably guess the number of HSBC bankers knowingly ignoring where funds came from being arrested still stands at 0?
3310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CFTC, Department of Justice file charges against BITMEX on: October 01, 2020, 10:41:23 PM
I just woke up and I’m seeing the market in red and I forgot to put a stop - loss and when I want to know what the hell is going on I know about it:

A statement by the Department of Justice reveals that Reed, BitMEX's CTO, was arrested on Thursday morning in Massachusetts. Hayes, Delo and Dwyer "remain at large.

 Shocked


Yeah fwiw set an sl a little above the liquidation price ($10) otherwise you're just unnecessarily losing a bit of the maintenance margin each time....




Wow, wait they're running the thing from the US? Now thst is a surprise, how did they not think they were breaking regulations with that one - they could've at least moved to Canada...

3311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Historical prices of bitcoin on: October 01, 2020, 09:25:32 PM

Seeing the prices of bitcoin through years makes me think of Moore's law,  you can check it out in google though it was not really doubling the price every year. Is a new law possible for the price of bitcoin like Moore's law?

It could be some sort of hodl law.

I remember getting here in 2015 (when we were at $150/coin and not knowing where we were going.

At that time I certainly wouldn't have expected it to reach $20k... That'd have been $1.5k to $200k in a rapid amount of time... Who knows, maybe it cna happen again...
3312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Recovery failure Coldcard legacy adress. Lost coins? on: October 01, 2020, 02:50:11 PM
Is it an xpub that begins with xpub? It's not hexadecimal or anything? Ie it isn't (0x)56FF842AD3...

If it begins Xpub only one wallet should be produced imo i don't think there's a way to fiddle with the derivation path or anything.

Are the xpubs really dissimilar? It might be worth getting in touch with cold card, the only other idea id have is is the qr code scanner likely to have been vulnerable to attacks or the machine where the xpub was copied?

If doing this again in the future. Please check 12 random characters in the xpub to check they're the same - and if necessary all of them.
3313  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: [H] ETH [W] BTC. 1:1 on: October 01, 2020, 03:59:25 AM
I can do this at 1:1 I'll try and remember to send an address when I wake up for you to transfer the eth to.

Can do this on the forum also but would prefer if you went first.

Address to send eth to is here: 0x23CE5243D135977D5c0DD976B6756e0b293c9583

3314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin had a stale block this morning on: October 01, 2020, 12:40:51 AM
In a possible blackout in the communication between poles of the planet, we could still easily identify the longest chain and continue without major consequences.
Correction: It would be the chain with the most work involved in creating it, which is not necessarily the longest chain. In your hypothetical scenario of a chain split, both chains would end up with less total hashrate and so would adjust their difficulty downwards to compensate. A chain with less hashrate could generate more blocks, but the shorter chain with fewer but "harder" blocks may have done more total work, and so would be the favored chain.



Are you sure? I mean, in a scenario like what happened. Where everything is working in a normal way. Suddenly, there is an error in the structure of the internet and we have for a moment two separate poles. In less than 1 hour, would it be possible for a chain to have more blocks with a smaller hashrate?

I believe that the block exactly after this blackout would define it. Or not?

If it was only an hour then tbh it would be the longest chain.

The longest chain would be made up of the luck% x power so it might not be the one with the highest hash power if "luck" favoured the other chain (eg a block on one of the chains hashed in a few seconds to be below the target).

Even if it was at the difficulty change when it split, the split would be based on the mean average of the last 2016 blocks so would result in a very similar difficulty for both chains (potentially enough for the new hashes to be under the new target even on the longest chain with the slightly higher difficulty) besides that, I don't know the rest of the consensus rules on determining which nonce is actually favoured.

It is higher end then Rolex. I last saw one back 1996 for 26000 usd.

I am not up on the various models they make.

That's probably a house in most of Europe back then... And 75% of one in England (so close enough to one).



The poor people are still migrating...but West isn't like it was in the 90's -00's

I was in Italy for work  in my school vacation in 2005 ,you could find work etc ... In 2016  i visited Italy as tourist it was like a war zone ...and hard to find jobs i seen .

Western Europe changed a lot ,it isn't worth  anymore to work in Western Europe. Now we are trying to start businesses here in Ro ..

It's a fun place Mamaia and Vama (if your in to folk,rock etc) ,it's like 2 diff worlds.

Yeah it's a bit of a weird time for a lot of Europe. The UK looks to have started to stagnate economy wise since the last drop in 2016. Sweden has only recently started to grow and I'm not sure how sustainable that is. Germany is still moving though at a pace similar to the US - but both may slow.

But the east was, for a while at least, crashing really hard. That might have reversed by now if a lot of people have started up successful businesses over there.
3316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to DCA from Europe, Scandinavia on: September 30, 2020, 08:32:57 PM
Yeah coinbase should be a good bet, just check the rate for your króna to btc or eur and check its alright. I think they charge 2.5% fees though on the normal site. Binance might also allow you to buy with a debit card.

Make sure you use coinbase.com though and get redirected from there! I just checked coinbase dot dk and it isn't coinbase.
3317  Other / Off-topic / Re: is this Patek Philippe Expensive or Cheap ? on: September 30, 2020, 06:25:35 PM

10k eur minimum now they increased salaries ...but also food prices higher

We have our rich people here also ...

You should come visit Mamaia if you want to see them...



Raising it was probably a good move... Although I thought quite a few people from there made a decent amount of money moving to +4 phone regions (Germany, Belgium and Scandinavia) and pick up seasonal work there?

Anyway I'll be sure to add it to my list once the pandemic is over if I take a trip round Europe.



3318  Other / Off-topic / Re: is this Patek Philippe Expensive or Cheap ? on: September 30, 2020, 05:57:46 PM
Not sure I've heard of the brand but that sounds expensive for a second hand watch?

Also can you not retire of 51k in romanis? I thought minimum wage was like 4-8 k eur a year
3319  Economy / Economics / Re: Mathematics and economy on: September 30, 2020, 04:38:17 PM
The maths Olympics is international!?

It probably depends on what they're doing also because maths and analytics skills don't go hand in hand nowadays with software development and similar (I don't remember what the tests were on).

Also China is at the 20th century US kinda phase, they might be seeing less outputs in items (factories moving to neighbouring countries) but a similar amount of cash flow due to an increase in value of smaller numbers of items exported.

Does Jet Cash know that LoyceV is not in the DT1 network any more :-P
https://loyce.club/trust/2020-09-26_Sat_05.08h/459836.html
I made a site for that too: Is LoyceV still on DT? (ignore the glitch 3 days ago) Smiley
Look at this!
52 53 inclusion!!!



Consider making a stat to show the list of users of top 100 inclusions. I guess you and theymos will have the most number.

I see Jet Cash is still hustling in the topic. Did anyone redirect him to the Trust page changed topic created by theymos when he changed it a year ago?

I dunno I think I like this idea. Don't keep a static list and keep moving people round instead kinda makes more sense... Its a more stable form of meritocracy?
