Interesting how some get deleted and some not.
This is still open and bot-bumed even that I report it a few times.
3522  Other / Meta / Re: My original account was hacked, I signed a message, DTs please tag it on: October 27, 2018, 06:43:04 PM
For any scam accusation you can post in the scam accusation board.
Regarding the red trust maybe it's a good idea to open a thread in the Reputation board about your case. There you get a better exposure and probably will be easier to get tagged the account.


Edit: @OP you need to bump the thread often to get attention.
3523  Other / Meta / Re: Is it legal to have public alt accounts? on: October 27, 2018, 06:29:58 PM

Yet everywhere I look, almost everyone who ever declares publicly that he owns an alt account, gets red-trusted.

Not everyone, only those who are using their alts to break the rules /forum or bounty/. For example Jet Cash have a few, LoyceV have also few alts, I don't have a need for alt but maybe one day I'll register one too.

You will find plenty of examples there, you can post your investigation in the thread above and report the plagiarism post with a link to the investigation post as reference.
The case us talking about is a pure plagiarism, even the typos are the same, so no doubt at all

Would that also be possible with just an xprv? I don't think OP has any "normal" private keys. (Forgive my ignorance here, just wondering.  Undecided)

Unfortunately I have no idea as I'm not so advanced. I hope someone can give a bit more info about the case.
It's also interesting for me.

That will say that those account have been active for the last 30 days.
Of course many people log in not so frequently, so those numbers are approximate

I'm wondering how that user is not banned yet. I could swear I saw someone found them copy-pasting.

Haha. (Almost) every time I find a interesting profile it gets banned eventually... The sad truth for the forum.
Now I'm waiting for the user Vodlike to pop up Wink

Try to move this to Trading discussions, it's more suitable section for this question.


That seems rather useless. There's already dozens of threads about this topic, or about any notable exchange really.

Anyhow, if you want to trade BTC -> Altcoins, i don't see why you would use anything other than Binance for popular altcoins.

USD -> BTC i'd use Coinbase/Bitstamp, considering all the issues bitfinex and kraken have.

I cannot agree more with AdolfinWolf, there are enough threads like this already. Let's keep the B&H section spam-free and such threads with possibility to grow to mega-threads to be avoided here /and in the whole forum in general/.
3530  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How recover my hacked account? on: October 26, 2018, 01:51:52 PM
This should be moved to Meta, there you have more exposure and it's the proper section for those requests/questions.
You will find the move button in the lower left corner.
Good luck.

How the hell you came up with this username?? Just wondering.

Everything can be compressed in just 5 easy steps, as I wrote earlier today, you need to chose your priorities correctly :

Congrats!
Everyone can rank up, but if you wrongly prioritize your goals, it may never happen.
People putting their priorities in the following order fail.
1. Get Merit
2. Rank up
3. Get more money.
4. Go to 1.

The right priorities are :

1. Be curious
2. Start reading
3. Learn
4. Be part of the community
5. Do something to help the others

The result will be exactly what the the guys from the first list are aiming for.

I support the statement that this thread should be moved to B&H section.

One of my colleagues got one and he was really scared. He said that there in the email was his real password.
He never visit any pornsites, but the fact that his password was there got him.
I guess many fall for this because till now the sum in the bitcoin wallet is 0.65696989 BTC
This is insane.
3534  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Lost my "12 Word Phrase / Seed" for coinbase commerce - Need help on: October 25, 2018, 01:53:22 PM
That would be easy...

in my case the field "seed" is greyed out Sad

Doesn't sound good, I was thinking that if you have your private keys and you have the password should be possible to generate the seed from the private key (the private key is generated from the seed).

See here :

i don't see anyone mentioning this but it doesn't work the other way around! meaning you can not create a seed from a private key. instead you create a seed then get different private keys from that seed. it is an Hierarchy after all.
It was actually mentioned in the very first reply (2nd post) Wink
It is not possible to generate seed out of private key, because private keys are generate from the seed.

However, theoretically, you CAN actually generate a seed from a private key as, in their simplistic form, both are simply large numbers... so there is no reason you couldn't use a private key to make a seed. It just probably isn't advised Wink



Long geeky example of converting a 32 byte hex to a mnemonic string:

Private Key (WIF): Kx45GeUBSMPReYQwgXiKhG9FzNXrnCeutJp4yjTd5kKxCitadm3C
Private Key (HEX): 18E14A7B6A307F426A94F8114701E7C8E774E7F9A47E2C2035DB29A206321725

The HEX = 32 bytes = 256 bits (max allowed ENT for BIP39 as per the spec), so we can just use the HEX as as our ENT.

We also need to calculate the checksum as the first ENT/32 bits of the SHA-256 of the ENT.

SHA-256(ENT): 547E964D2262DFCF5C03DA93F54AC0FE66B2856240F8A70AB0C582DE5860D062 => first 8 bits = first byte => "54" => 0101 0100

ENT + CS = 0001 1000 1110 0001 0100 1010 0111 1011 0110 1010 0011 0000 0111 1111 0100 0010 0110 1010 1001 0100 1111 1000 0001 0001 0100 0111 0000 0001 1110 0111 1100 1000 1110 0111 0111 0100 1110 0111 1111 1001 1010 0100 0111 1110 0010 1100 0010 0000 0011 0101 1101 1011 0010 1001 1010 0010 0000 0110 0011 0010 0001 0111 0010 0101 0101 0100

As per the BIP39 spec, we slice it up into 11 bit chunks and convert to words from the BIP39 wordlist

Code:
word 1 : 00011000111 -> 199  -> body
word 2 : 00001010010 -> 82   -> apart
word 3 : 10011110110 -> 1270 -> paddle
word 4 : 11010100011 -> 1699 -> stamp
word 5 : 00000111111 -> 63   -> among
word 6 : 10100001001 -> 1289 -> patrol
word 7 : 10101010010 -> 1362 -> prevent
word 8 : 10011111000 -> 1272 -> pair
word 9 : 00010001010 -> 138  -> bacon
word 10: 00111000000 -> 448  -> day
word 11: 01111001111 -> 975  -> ketchup
word 12: 10010001110 -> 1166 -> mushroom
word 13: 01110111010 -> 954  -> jar
word 14: 01110011111 -> 927  -> initial
word 15: 11100110100 -> 1844 -> track
word 16: 10001111110 -> 1150 -> more
word 17: 00101100001 -> 353  -> club
word 18: 00000001101 -> 13   -> accuse
word 19: 01110110110 -> 950  -> item
word 20: 01010011010 -> 666  -> fashion

I'm not an expert but if you go into Electrum (it's not clear if you have access to it or only to your wallet trough coinbase)and choose from the menu Wallet>Seed, and you enter your password you should have access to the seed again.

I guess you have read trough this but still :

This is a normal practice, but I think the policy against the merit abuse has changed a bit the last few weeks.

I got this message deleted /my comment in green/ I know it was for off-topic but I just archived the request for merit.

I really hope that my efforts will be taken into account and you will give me merit.

 Roll Eyes

If it was a maybe one or two months ago, this request above could be considered as a merit begging, now things changed. People leave only neutral comments.
Reading theymos comment below leaves me with feelings that (small) abusers are no longer chased as before.

Well, it appears that your source merit either wasn't upped to 250 a month ago like me, or you are just letting it expire. Theymos gave me instructions to try and do my best to distribute all of it. I'm doing the best that I can; yet have already had complaints. I really despise this statistic. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendban Now I am on the list that appears to point out merit abuse suspects. I was originally very honored to become a merit source. But now I feel that my reputation is at stake with every single merit that I am obligated to distribute. I know that I only have black trust at the moment. However, I keep checking my trust rating to make sure some DT member doesn't decide to red tag me because they feel that I am being "abusive" or derelict in my duty.

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.

If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.

Aside from that, if people complain about whether things deserve merit at all, then that's something to perhaps think about, but if you conclude that they're wrong, then that's that. You don't need to stress about it or defend yourself constantly. It's conceivable that someday you and I will end up disagreeing too much about this stuff and I'll remove your source status, but it's really not a big deal.

The topsendban list is just a first indication of abuse, and many excellent people are on it. Your place on there acts as a sort of benchmark: eg. chandra12 has a similar score there, but whereas you are an extremely active merit-giver with a diverse selection of posts merited (most of which anyone would agree with), chandra12 only has two large merit sends. His behavior in comparison to yours while having a similar topsendban score is what creates a strong abuse impression.

I appreciate the work of you and other sources who take it seriously!

I've checked their recent (unedited) posts: they do what many bounty spammers with many accounts do: they post their copied spam first, then edit it and make some changes.
It's all business as usual in the billion dollar ICO spam industry.

Yeah, seems like they post something just to "reserve" the post for later editing.
I have reported them, I guess I'm gonna get a bad reports for those 3 as they are still unhandled.

I often make long lists of users, linking to their BPIP profile for quick review. Example:
The first link works, the second doesn't, because the profile is archived.
Request @Vod: Is it possible to create a link that always works, even if it's archived?

I notice that some time ago but..
Just to note here, it's funny but the bug with the link to the archived users is actually a nice feature.
If the newbie is banned (and archived) the link leads to the homepage, so I don't need to look more if the guy is banned Cheesy
