At least my bet wasn't the last one on the timestamp contest. Some guy placed a bet for October 17, 2473. I guess he got the timestamp counting a little wrong somehow.  Cheesy

Cool MEMES btw, happy Halving everyone!  Smiley
My prediction was off by about 7 minutes  Cheesy

I am happy to have witnessed my first bitcoin halving. By the time the previous one happened I was just getting to know about bitcoin from a couple of friends who were using it for transaction to and from ponzi scheme websites. Luckily i didn't end up joining them.

Short PSA, there are two running contests right now, there's still a bit of time to participate.
Wait, they are two? I only saw one, that the timestamp contest  Cheesy

You can also view more victims with similar issues with the platform. A lot of shady and unprofessional work going on with the platform including a ponzi scheme model and plagiarism.
3864  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Risks of the Exodus Exchange function ("CoinSwitch Scam") on: May 09, 2020, 10:49:14 PM
My question here: did you use Exodus for exchanging coins after 2018 and it was fine?
I have never used any wallet to exchange my coins. I regularly use exodus but only for keeping my coins and sending them out. I don't understand why someone would exchange coins through the wallet instead of sending them to an exchange like binance, kucoin or instant exchange like coinplaza.it or Exolix.com where the rates are so friendly compared to the wallet exchange services.
3865  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can anyone block coins or transaction in blockchain ?! on: May 07, 2020, 03:53:50 PM
I wanted to make a masternode, truth is that I'm quite new at this kind of stuff. It was ESK coin. I accepted the idea that the coins are probably lost, it was just strange that someone can do this without any other additional information from my part. I have never given away any data, just the public address. This is why it was so strange
It's probably due to  security vulnerability on the coin you were working on. I would advise you to have a couple of experts in blockchain field help you set up a masternode and also do some security audits to avoid such attacks. Just because yours got attacked doesn't mean all the blockchain techs and the coins run by them are flawed

Based on your description, I am guessing it was 51% attack. That one attack I know where someone can block transactions by invalidating them and it's easy to carry out on small networks without using many resources unlike Bitcoin. There are ways of avoiding such attacks.

What if this is a genuine bitcoin lover who possibly knows wrong thing about bitcoin, possibly learned those from wrong source but now here with us. We should allow him and be with us, take him as one of us and let him to learn in his own way instead of judging him in advance (saying bad stuffs which I have seen on the other thread).

It's a great lesson to those who very easily classify newbie users as scmers or just don't believe them.
This is what i was thinking too. We shouldn't be too quick to judge newbie profiles. Just because the profile is a newbie rank doesn't mean someone doesn't know anything about bitcoin or how forums operate. I checked his posting history and the person seems to be knowledgeable and a bitcoin lover unlike most newbie accounts that just register to make bounty reports or promote scam links.

I don't see anything Odd about the profile.
3867  Other / Meta / Re: Is this a ban deserved offense? on: May 07, 2020, 03:20:07 PM
I don't think he deserves any ban and besides he wanted only the first person who posted which doesn't promote spam in any way.
He was giving way the bitcoins with no strings attached of which the process ended up to donating to the good cause according to the developments in the thread.
3868  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the minimum fee for a transaction? on: May 07, 2020, 03:03:47 PM
There is a bitcoin explorer i got to know about a few of days ago thanks to this guy's Post
It is https://btc.bitaps.com/

If you don't want to stress about figuring out what fee you can use at that very moment then it can be quite helpful to you. It displays fees in three different categories
Their lowest being Minimal (confirmation within 3-6 blocks), then Optimal (confirmation within 1-2 blocks) and lastly Express (confirmation within the Next block)

The transaction fee is analyzed from the last 36 blocks.

What i loved about the explorers is that the best fee is displayed in real time and it keeps changing every second but it's very helpful if you don't want to pay excess fees while at the same time avoiding your transaction getting stuck for hours or even days.

For example this afternoon Electrum showed that you need to use a fee of at least 97.7 sats/byte for your transaction to be confirmed on the next block but this website was showing 30.57 sats/byte at that time from an express transaction.

Hi guys, sorry for writing here, but I do not know where else to post this question.
I believe I was hacked somehow, but I don't know how. This is not about bitcoin, it's about an another coin. Someone has blocked my coins in the blockchain or stole them, I really don't know, the interesting thing is that in the blockchain explorer, the transaction is there, it is confirmed, the receiving address is correct, but the coins never reached the destination wallet
Your problem is not clear, are you trying to say someone stopped your transaction? To me it seems your transaction has not yet been confirmed can you share the Transaction ID
Nobody can block your coins.

I was threatened with this process of blocking my coins, because I didn't wanted to give access to my computer. The other person knew only my wallet public address. How can someone do this? How is this possible?
Who threatened you, can you shared details?
Anybody can have anyone's public addresses and won't be able to access the funds in your account. However, if you give them your private key, then they can be able to steal your coins. 

A public address is like a bank account number, anybody can see it but can't access the funds of the account unless if they have the credentials(private Key, seed phrases etc)

If this can be done, than it might be a real concern to everyone. This means that not even the public addresses are safe? I don't understand. I thought that someone can steal your coins only if they hack the wallet, have the private key, the wallet backup and the password. I never thought that someone can just block coins in the blockchain or sniff a transaction somehow to end up with the coins you send. Is there any possibility to see how the coins, if they still exist, can be unblocked? Is there something that can be done?  
Someone if probably lying to you so that they can make you give them your Private Keys

Want help from the BitcoinTalk form. How to join Bounty and what to do. And please share me 1 link of Bounty. Thanks for that
If it was 2017, i would say you have some chance of earning a few hundreds of dollars from bounties due to the ICO hype back then but right now i would advise you not to waste time with bounties. Most of them are scams and don't live up to their promises let alone the tokens having any good value once they hit the market.

Instead of wasting that time on bounties, try to learn about bitcoin and some other skills like trading. You will make a lot more money than from those bounties.

Hi everyone...where can i find info and roadmap about eth 2.0?

Thanks in advance!
The information is readily available if you searched a little online. Maybe lemme share a few links that can be helpful here;
- https://cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-buterin-reveals-ethereum-20-roadmap-to-cointelegraph
- https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/ethereum-2.0/eth-2.0-phases/

3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 05, 2020, 10:30:39 PM
If the Bundesliga will really starts at 15 May, I would say Money rules. Otherwise, it is not at all possible to explain how the state can take such a risk. It's not only the players who are at risk, but also their families.
It's all about money mate otherwise i see no other reason they would be in a hurry to resume the leagues. It's a matter of life and death we are talking about here if one gets infected from the pitch.  The players maybe Athletes and have no much risk factors, but they got families and all other vulnerable people around them who can easily succumb to the virus.
3874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2019/20 on: May 05, 2020, 09:22:58 PM
So ok...  What would happen if one of these players catch the bug while in training or during a match?  Shut the league down again? 
I mean...  It could happen.
All the players who will return to training I think are those who have been declared healthy and free from viruses during the test session. But the virus can still infect them if this player does not perform an independent quarantine after the game is finished. Limiting the space for players and staff during the pandemic is still important if the season continues.
Lots of things that have not yet been looked into in detail.
Imagine if half a dozen first team players catch the virus. Does the team list them as unfit to play like they have usually been doing with injured players and then continue the matches with other reserve players or do all the players in the team get quarantined and the league gets paused once again?  Grin

We all know players catching this virus is inevitable
3875  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fake volume? on: May 05, 2020, 09:06:33 PM
Are there alot of fake volume? How to identify this?
Rule Number 1: Do not believe or follow exchange ranking data by trading volume reported by coinmarketcap. It's all inaccurate and fake!! Infact never use coinmarketcap at all and instead find alternatives like coingecko. Coinmarketcap are the root cause of all this by ranking exchanges based on their 24-hour trade volume.

3876  Economy / Reputation / Re: Pnxbet --> Kawbet --> 1xbet/1xbit (known scammers) - Plz support flag! on: May 05, 2020, 07:50:26 PM
And now when Kawbet.com went offline, when you try to visit Kawbet website, it simply redirects to Pnxbet.com which prooves that this accusation was 100% right.
Lol, finally the sheep's skin that was covering the wold has fallen  Grin

I tried to find some more information about Pnxbet and noticed their good ratings on Trustpilot, what was surprising for me. But I looked at these reviews and seems all these positive feedbacks were left by their paid shills. They posted their usernames or ID's in order to get bonus from Pnxbet for positive review:
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/pnxbet.com
I never trust reviews from Trustpilot. Getting so may email addresses and then creating accounts to make fake positive reviews isn't hard on Trustpilot. They should do more to curb such practices and warn people who might read the reviews in advance

Wouldn't be surprised if they will come back with new website soon...
Sure, they are planning a comeback


The person who created a scam accusation against them deleted the topic instead of editing it probably because he shared too much sensitive information.

Here is the screenshot from Loyce.club minus the sensitive information.

You can buy and join for any amount you think can have a chance to win a prize.

You need to buy NWC on Exchange and than hold your NWC on solar wallet.

More info is in the doc form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3hKgVyHNj6HPnIEJapyhnIf_cmjxujC085IMb0ppn5wHN0g/viewform

Same link as in the article: https://www.uptrennd.com/post-detail/nwc-buying-champions-trading-competition-starts-april-27-2020~MzEyNzM0
There is no clear information about the criteria that will be used to pick or determine the winners. Is it going to be a random selection or based on the amount of NWC tokens one holds?
If its random selection, are we going to have a chance of seeing the process of selecting the winners for the sake of transparency?
3878  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: TradingPanel.pro - Free trading terminal for Binance 2020 on: May 05, 2020, 06:33:02 PM
That is tricky part for me.

Means I only get to sign up for free if I use your referral link.

Most of the users are having their Binance accounts here, so why would they register again just to register on your panel. 
I was also about to ask the same thing. What happens to users who already have binance accounts?

If registering through the referral link is the only way one can get free subscription then shouldn't it be fair enough to say "Free subscription for trader who open up a new Binance account"?

Viabtc also has a tool that can help you estimate your profits depending on the kind of miner you are using.
Visit https://www.viabtc.com/ and then scroll down to a section of Mining Profit Ranking. All you have to do is type in your electricity cost and you will be able to see an overview of mining profitability of each coin.

You the figures that i have marked in red...right?


Those 3 values represent 3 transaction options of minimal, optimal and Express according to https://btc.bitaps.com/privacy
Quote
Transaction fee is calculated by statistic analysis from the last 36 blocks. Transaction fee can be changed and it depends on blockchain network transaction competitions. Bitaps.com provides three transaction fee options: minimal (transaction is confirmed by approximately 3-6 blocks), optimal (transaction is confirmed by approximately 1-2 blocks) and express (estimated confirmation in next block)
