Thanks for link.

This seems kinda different from what I had in mind. Not sure if understood it correct.

based on this

I assume you can mine with all algos simultaneously. I was thinking about complete change of algo ( like making fork each few blocks ) ...like: Mining only with sha256 for 2 weeks ... then only with x11 .. etc.

Nothing bad on being paranoid (in some reasonable boundaries).  The problem is the virus is always first and tools to stop and cure it comes later. I just hope you was not unlucky enough to be among first infected.

I didn't calm you much, huh? 

There is quite lot of complains about huge mining farms with ASICs ruining the promising coin communities (recent bitmain A3 vs SIA can be example).

So I'm wondering if it's technicaly feasible to create POW coin which would be switching to random algo (in the way nobody could predict which one will be next) after some time ... let's say few weeks or months.

Thoughts?

Do you use any antivir, antimalware, web shield? To be safe you'd better scan you PC.
Based on my experience most sites use some sort of web miner ( using your CPU to mine coins for admin as long as you keep the site open).

Will you share the url? (do not post is as clickable link)  

I'll add bitdice, fortunejack and onehash

as of bad feedback I guess you won't find any. Almost every casino has a bad feedback from faucet abusers (guys who spent lot of time abusing faucets, later realizing they can't withdraw their "hard earned" BTCs)

I'm not as well.  

How about some googling? https://themerkle.com/what-is-a-masternode/
and when I mentioned DASH see also https://www.dash.org/masternodes2/


I guess such high price is to prevent everybody run it and because it can be really profitable. Also it's quite essential for the network. Had it been cheap people would run them for a while, then quit if not satisfied with income ... once you invest this much you are bound to keep it running ( as you have lot of money in it).
Only really interested people (or those with lot of spare funds) will invest into.

I'm not expert. Just wanted to warn you there is also large investment required (e.g. to run DASH masternode you need to have 1000 DASH  ... 1 million USD ).

Looking for multicoin walllet?

I'm using coinomi (android). There is also exodus or jaxx.
 

Yeah, this will most probably never confirm.

Problem is your transaction has to many inputs which makes it more complex. Total sum fee is not relevant. You have to pay attention to "Fee per byte" (your tx has 5.184 sat/B  but should be at least 200 or more sat/B   )


Options what you can do depends on which wallet you have used.

- replace by fee (if your wallet supports it and have it enabled when tx was sent)  ... this will allow you to raise the fee
- child pays for parent (search for more)
- create doublespend transaction ( this is bit complicated and require some knowledge ... I think this option is not for you)
- stop broadcasting the transaction (do not open the wallet for few days. Tx should drop and BTCs will return to sending wallet).

I would say work restart is usual ( everytime a new block is found ). What are you mining with such "huge" hashrate?

EDIT: you'd better move topic to mining section ( if mining BTC ) or altcoin mining section  ... move topic using link at bottom left

OK. Now you have been specific enough.

Let's start from very beginning. This forum is about BTC so I'll focus on this coin (but most altcoins are more or less similar)

About wallets:
- best (but not most convenient) is always use the original client for each coin. Problem is you have to download entire blockchain ( which e.g. in case of BTC is 180 GB at the moment).
- most secure are so called hardware wallets (search for ledger wallet that one supports quite lot of altcoins)
- more convenient are so called spv clients ( for BTC e.g. electrum, mycelium, ....) ... these i suggest you to start with
- most convenient are multicoin walltets (e.g.  coinomi, exodus ...) which supports vast amount of coins but at some security costs.

check this wallet overview https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet


About purchasing:
This is a bit tricky. You have to use exchange and there are two basic types.
- exchages that supports fiat (e.g. coinbase)  ... with these you mostly have to verify your identity and are not supporting much coins.
- exchages that does not support fiat (e.g. binance)  ... these supports lot of coins but you cant directly deposit fiat

some major fiat exchanges are bitstamp, kraken, coinbase, cex ...
major non fiat exchanges are bitfinex, bittrex, poloniex, cryptopia ...
(check each for it's fees and minimal deposit/withdrawal amounts)

I suggest you to visit https://coinmarketcap.com/ (search your coin and check market tab for supported exchanges)

To your questions:
Yes, exchanges will hold your coins (no need to have own wallet) ... but be aware exchange could get hacked in which case you most probably lose the coins ... so it's up to you.

Yes, each coin has it's own fee for transfering between wallets. e.g. BTC fee is currently very high and definitely not worth transferring smaller amounts ... better to use e.g. LTC ... it's much quicker and cheaper)

To sum up: I recommend you to purchase LTC (via any fiat exchange) move them to non-fiat exchange and purchase your desired coins.
Alternatively you can visit this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0 and try to buy coins from other members.

Hope i did not overwhelmed you again.

Must be something wrong on your side. My visit to freebitco usually takes 3 to 5 seconds (haven't been solving anything for ages ... just click the captcha and click the roll button)

Well. I dind't actually understand what exactly you're asking for. Said you know what you are interested in so If you share it with us we might point you directly.

For start here's a good topic about terminology https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=126798.0

Coinbase is good start for beginners. Easy way to purchase BTC (and some other coins) but not so much for trading (if that's what you want). Might also try localbitcoins where you don't need to go through verification process.

Binance was also good choice if you want to start trading or purchase various other coins.


For me most helpful was just lurking around forum and reading other members opinions, questions and answers to them. Learned a lot and still learning.

Yeah, at current blockchain situation would be probably faster and cheaper to print the private key, put into envelope and send via post office.

All you can do is use function replace-by-fee (if you have it enabled in your wallet) and raise the fee.

As long as the penalty is stated in ToS theres nothing to discuss. Nobody forced you to deposit.

I'm not saying it's reasonbale. But who knows what they have to do to get those coins back (maybe they have to breach or circumvent some internal regulations, investigate whether you are not lying ... etc.)
Some exanges even seize entire deposit if it's smaller than some given amount.

Again. If you were informed (and accepted ToS) you should not complain.

Be careful.. oil can mix with dust making some sort of paste and block the bearigns completely. Some bearings are designed to run dry (don't know if these are the case).

Yes, it's absolutely safe to sign a message and publish it (this just proves you have control over the address)

When you lose access to your account you have to provide moderators with proof you are the address owner and you will be asked to sign a message again. (there is no other way how to recover hacked accounts)

So do it now as practice.

Can you sign a message with it? If not then there is no reason to stake it.

Check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0 how to sign a message.

What? That sounds fishy. Seems like they want you to be their scapegoat. I would be careful.

EDIT: oh, I read the last paragraph. Good decision you made IMO.

Problem is if you are going to moderate the topic it's obvious you are paid for it (doubt you're doing it for free) aka you can be considered as accomplice.
Might be good idea to put in some disclaimer note saying you are not invoved in this project  .... but nobody can say if it saves you from being redtagged.
