361  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Hex value of ip address why reversed? on: March 10, 2018, 11:47:20 AM
but over the wire, IP addresses are encoded in big-endian format.  

here is the code that works with DNS A-Record lookup for Ipv4
Code:
private static byte[] DnsBytesReverseLookup(string IP)
       {//Builds up a request for a Reverse DNS-Lookup
           byte[] Head = SeedTheHead(DateTime.Now.Minute);
           byte[] Footer = new byte[18] { 7, 105, 110, 45, 97, 100, 100, 114, 4, 97, 114, 112, 97, 0, 0, 12, 0, 1 };//in-addr.arpa
           string[] IPDigits = IP.Split('.');
           MemoryStream MS = new MemoryStream();
           MS.Write(Head, 0, Head.Length);
           byte[] IP0 = ByteString(IPDigits[0]); byte[] IP1 = ByteString(IPDigits[1]); byte[] IP2 = ByteString(IPDigits[2]); byte[] IP3 = ByteString(IPDigits[3]);
           MS.Write(IP3, 0, IP3.Length); MS.Write(IP2, 0, IP2.Length); MS.Write(IP1, 0, IP1.Length); MS.Write(IP0, 0, IP0.Length);
           MS.Write(Footer, 0, Footer.Length);
           return MS.ToArray();
       }

private static byte[] ByteString(string Value)
       {//Used to build up a DNS request
           byte[] B = new byte[Value.Length + 1];
           B[0] = (byte)Value.Length;
           B[1] = (byte)Value[0];
           if (Value.Length > 1)
               B[2] = (byte)Value[1];
           if (Value.Length > 2)
               B[3] = (byte)Value[2];
           return B;
       }

The order is backwards but it's not hex

I like the jaxx wallet but they encoded the seed and saved it in an encrypted file but the
private key to decrypt the file escaped into the wild from a Chrome extension they wrote.

Exodus has its faults too but the weak link is windows along with men bearing gifts

I tested 10.11.12.13 and got 0a.0b.0c.0d so it looks fine to me but why anyone
wants to store ip's hex seems strange to me but often ips are converted to longs so that you
can write code like

if (IP>=12334567 && IP<=89101112)
   do something with range.






364  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SegWit, Industry standard for the future? on: March 10, 2018, 01:50:24 AM
I think it's temporary and was probably implemented slightly quicker than the devs may have wanted due to the increased demand and work load over Xmas. Transaction congestion needed to be eased. Although long term a new solution will need to be found segwit is a needed aid even when operating in the way it does at the moment
Hi Newbie

Yes I agree and see you are being polite but it does not work around here and the bitcoin development team was facing open rebellion in
it rakes unless it got off it's bottom and did something about the miners charging $55 (donation fee) just to store 250 bytes of data
in the block-chain and giving excuses about why just didn't cut it.

Unfortunately you bumped into a member of the waiting committee but not all of us are like that around here and we don't mind debates that
are based on bits or bytes, we are developers after all, says it on the forum title.



 
365  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Like Rome, Segwit was not built in a day! on: March 10, 2018, 01:18:05 AM
This is what happens when you do what is politely called “making stuff up as you go along”, or more commonly referred to as pulling it out of your—nostrils.  You should not spread misinformation like this.

Stop being so rude all the time nullius and try picking on someone you own size like me or did you miss your invitation and don't have control
over this thread so that you can delete what you don't like ?

You keep going off like you are part of a bitcoin plunge protection team and you are on a hair trigger and like to dish it out but run for
mummy when confronted with a few technical truths.

A bit of file compression, chucking it (signatures) to a second files won't keep a 286 on the shelves for much longer no more than doubling the block size
so why are you getting your knickers in such a twist about it and need to resort to name calling.

I see lots of wasted potential with you but your are out to score cheap points and need to give it a rest because your scaring everyone off
and unlike segwit I like to call a byte a byte and not some fictional made up vByte, comes in eight bits it does you know.

Note:  Do NOT rely on this document for any technical information about Segwit.  It is an early draft, presented for historical purposes only.
 

So really white papers and documents are not worth bum paper in effect is what you are saying.

Quote
Segwit was designed thoughtfully, carefully, through the close cooperation of several of the best Bitcoin developers in the world

The same "best Bitcoin developers in the world" that did not know that Bitcoin "on-block" would never scale like eight years ago
and now they bring us "off-block" with lightning.

Tell me dear chap, have you ever come across the term "The Butters is too thick" and solutions to obvious problems here does not
impress me too much and your alto-ego can forget the off-topic button because I am not buying it.


366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to hack a bitcoin address? on: March 10, 2018, 12:48:46 AM
Based on what I have read about bitcoin security, it is almost impossible to hack any bitcoin addresses. Unless you put a third party software say keylogger, middleman, phising, and stuff. The best thing to avoid them, always check URL, and store your private key in encrypted harddisk.

Best answer I have come across today so a merit is on it's way but if you running windows or a chrome based browser then understand
that these so called back door are not there by mistake and are used to allow deniability, bastards have all doors covered.

Unless you have an IQ of 500 then like me you cut-en-paste your keys, fine just do it in two stages because any script kiddie can access the
windows clipper boards even from java-script  in web-pages

They are now free to login to your Bitcoin account and change the password, denying you access to your account and giving them the chance to transfer your funds into their own wallet.

No they are not without passwords unless they somehow got access to your device if using a wallet or they took a good guess at your coinbase login
368  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to hack a bitcoin address? on: March 09, 2018, 11:42:07 PM
I am a developer and no fan of bitcoin after the rip off fees two months ago or the lightning network deception
that's being played out on unsuspecting individuals (Lambs to the slaughter you are) but I must say that the
bitcoin encryption is second to none and you cannot reverse engineer private keys.

Microsoft Windows is more than likely steeling all your keys so even if like me your using Windows you are well
advised to run a wallet from a pen-drive using Linux.

Bitcoin has many faults but encryption is not one of them.
369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be fine on: March 09, 2018, 11:30:13 PM
How can we attract new investors?

I see hope for you, not too far gone your not.

Had the miners not got greedy and put fees up to $55 per transaction then I would had stayed in with a plan to
taking profit if/when bitcoin reached just under $50k but I had to bail out early and knew the jig was up and sold
at $18 as bandits here were all talking about "Buying on the dip"

Trouble is the public now knows about the rip off extortion fees and simply won't trust bitcoin with a $200 gamble
when they know it can be eaten up by miners in no time and this is they reason they didn't materialize just as we were
expecting them.

Still I made money by staying rational and having a plan from day one and not letting greed get the better of me
so think of a stop loss you can afford and stick with it is my advise for you.

bitcoin is a digital currency that has no central bank or regulatory authority backing it up.

oh dear another one who will swear he didn't know that the Bitcoin lightning network was a system of banking hubs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g

They told me that smoking was good for you, i didn't know and when they showed me the network map
https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/ I thought it was a map of the stars and didn't see what was coming.

Here is my doctors report for my bad chest after smoking fifty a day https://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf
and it's got the word "Fees" all over it but I didn't know.

I have started with a little of money ($100).

No two ways about it that most of the housing market has been in a bubble and it was all over the news (Property porn)
but things are turning bad again in London, property is not moving but that's not in the new is it now.

Sell the house but may I encourage you not to rent a top floor flat, go for a bottom floor one instead if "Investing"
in alt-coins/token/digits just in case the pipe dream takes a turn for the worse

375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is now banned in JAMAICA on: March 09, 2018, 10:23:57 PM
most of this population still use bitcoin as investment place ..

Yes investment place and it says in your advert "ADEPT Blossom Distribution" and I was wondering if you have
any tulips for sale because I want to get in and make an "investment" before everyone else rushes in.

Facts are that most of the population don't even have access to electricity let alone go gambling on
digital coins so stop taking FUD just to get page impressions on you comments.
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is now banned in JAMAICA on: March 09, 2018, 10:14:50 PM
That is very shocking! Please share your sources because I haven't heard any news on this ban If the ban is true we are in for an uphill battle friends.

Well yes we have got to blame someone, anyone instead of the development team for sitting on it's arse for eight years knowing that
Bitcoin would not scale and cashing in as miners and charging $55 per transaction eight weeks ago.

I mean no one told us that the new lightning network was off-block, you know off the marvelous block-chain that we all love or that
it was based on a system of banking hubs that charge both transaction fees and interest on BTC needed to keep the channels open or
that the protocol that won't be accessible from wallets give them bankers privileges.

No sir, we got to blame de rasta man, dem smash up de network, steel from I and I  Roll Eyes

rash discussion of selling bitcoins at loss

Wow you mean you actually brought in at over $10,000 because your the first one here to ever admit it.

I pulled out at $18,000 because the fees hit $55 per transaction so I made a killing myself but really i was helping
those that wanted to "Buy on the dip" because for every buyer you know, you have to have a seller but hopefully I can
help the miners out and buy up some of them 1080 GPU's graphic cards they might be forced to sell being such a nice
dude myself 

378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Common Q&A about Bitcoin: Non-Technical Edition (Earn Merits) on: March 09, 2018, 09:44:01 PM
Why did you start learning bitcoin?
Because I think bitcoin can help me earn extra money, with trading bitcoins and accepting jobs that pays bitcoins are the ways to earn it. Exchange it to our fiat money after to get use it.

So you must be a day trader, highly educated and understand hammers and candles to be earning money because I thought I was smart
too at playing the slot machines because my ears told me that they were always paying out and that i could never loose money.

Me, well i flip burgers for a living, pays about $14 per hour but i feel sorry for them suckers that spend the whole day having to
spam social media sites to make a living from pushing crypto and one of them told me that he's only making a few bucks a day
so i guess it could be worse for me.
379  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: While you are panicking.... on: March 09, 2018, 09:29:56 PM
No, panic at all. I am waiting patiently for the purge.....weak hand need to give up

My weak hand gave up when fees were at about $55 per transaction and I sold almost completely out at
$18,000 and for you to feel so confident then clearly you have not been reading the news about the
lightning network where they have tried to hide the banker by calling them hubs.

Anyway get all the sleep you can, restless nights ahead if your left holding the baby  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

380  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is in danger? on: March 09, 2018, 09:20:47 PM
Because we are here in this world of blockchain and we are dealing cryptocurrency

No friend we are heading to the world of "off-block" because they forgot to tell you that the block-chain as it has been
designed for bitcoin could never scale and they knew this eight years ago and they also know that the lightning network
is a system of banker hubs looking to lend you your own money.

Here is the white paper if you don't believe me https://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf so
just search for the word "fee" because it is in the document 45 times or look at a network map of the banking
nodes getting setting up https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/ or watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g

Choosing to ignore the obvious is likely to hit you in the pocket as will watching the girls big nice beautiful eyes as
she serves you cards and drinks in the casino
