Sounds interesting. Was just wondering where do you get the conversion rate from ? API ? You change it manually every few hours ?

On this great day I would like to inform everyone that hss coin as well as the whole hashshare project is a scam.

Oh really?! When we told you so, you keep insisting that we have something against you and your project...

As you have already understood, I am not a representative of the project, but a kind person who got access to the database and servers of the project.

Then why your name is the project's name? When you create this thread it was your project but now you are the admin...? Roll Eyes Grin

You can download the database

Why? TBH the most impressive thing is that you don't have a neg... yet. Cool


Some kind person apparently hacked their db and bitcointalk account.
This seems to be the hacker posting. Did you even read?
Someone hacked the db of a potential scam, I feel so conflicted right now!
If the *.sql files do contain names and IPs it should be deleted I guess or at least edited to remove the link

Not sure what you guys are talking about. Privacy is not hiding your identity, it's choosing who you want/need to show it to.
Tbh OP I didn't really look at things from that perspective, but you have a point.
We would need some conjoined atomic swaps so no one can even corelate 2 tx (btc - xmr) with the same fiat value moments between. But things like this are ugly. There is no frontend, no UI/UX factor and can get be very hard to do for the majority. The UI/UX devs want to be paid. Mostly coding devs are doing 99% of the open source stuff and the finished product is mostly not that user friendly.
There is a prototype of a working atomic swap zcash - btc using HTLC, but it is done in terminal and you would need to run a ZEC full node and a BTC full node. Pretty much over the capability of most people I guess.

If you really want privacy you can get pretty far but since it is hard and requires skills and knowledge in several fields it seems a bit out of reech.

Another issue is privacy coin adoption. Maybe Elon will help a bit if he would accept XMR as payment method for buying a Tesla but the general legislative opinion is not that good. Not that many businesses accept XMR & Co.
Let's just hope it's the same thing as with cars, but faster: the electric motor was invented before the combustion one. It wasn't used at the time because fuel was a bigger market. Decades later we realize it does more harm than good and slowly migrate to electric. I see privacy as having a similar course.

Educate me, please.

Found out a few things myself about the subject from this:

A block chain can be useful for maintaining provenance, but there are issues.

If you don't want to go below Bitcoin's security standard, you can also use the counterparty protocol in order to implement NFT on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Last I heard about them (~2 years ago) most of the devs left and many projects migrated away from counterparty. Looks like they are still alive and also were in the works for some major updates. Might be worth a shot I guess.

So you want to use the blockchain to store a certificate of authenticity. Might wanna look at NFT (non fungible tokens)
And the seller would also send the buyer the corresponding token to the sold artwork.
Each token needs to be public and easily verifiable.
Might want to have a look : https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/36394/how-to-create-your-own-erc-721-nft-token

You can use other methods of course but I find it very suitable for your needs.
Good luck and curious what you come up with

50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: December 16, 2020, 02:07:30 AM
I have not heard any DEFI lending for a mortgage because their business is based on digital collateral not physical.
Maybe tokenize your house and use those as collateral. You might need some lawyers to also draft something for it and bang: DeFi mortgage
Issue some ERC20 security token for that and you should be golden, as the grand majority of DeFi are on the ETH network.

Might just work...

What's wrong with you ?
52  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of the top 10 btc wallets hacked? on: November 04, 2020, 09:01:34 PM
in those days, miners used to include 0 fee transactions too in their mined blocks but this does not seem to have anything to do with this move at the moment.

I am aware of bitcoin's price.
And no, my question was not regarding the current movement, but regarding that old transaction from 2013 of ~69500 BTC  with 0 fee which came from an address conected with the one in the OP.
Was just curious in general... because the concept is the same: mine blocks with higher fee first. Unless he was also mining back then and manually added that txo in the block he found or mempool not that full. Not sure if mempool size was an issue in 2013. Not sure and just wanted to know 😁

I have studied information on this movement of bitcoins. If this was a wallet hack, then the coins would be sent to multiple wallets.

Indeed, usually  coins are sent to multiple wallets after a hack. From my own experience such weird movement could be one of two things: someone moving funds in a more secure wallet or just to show he has access so can call CSW a fraud
53  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One of the top 10 btc wallets hacked? on: November 04, 2020, 11:46:38 AM
Too much FUD about this address.

Quote
On June 29 of last year, someone nicknamed humerh3 tried to sell the wallet on Bitcointalk, one of the most popular forums dedicated to the cryptocurrency. Another forum member noticed a listing on All Private Keys for the $690 million wallet earlier this year as well. That listing is now gone, but another site has it on sale.
https://www.vice.com/en/article/bv8k4v/hackers-are-trying-to-break-into-this-bitcoin-wallet-holding-dollar690-million

It seems the wallet.dat has been "allegedly" on sale in many forums and sites. If it's the real one and not a fake that's a different discussion.

Also have a question:

Seems 1BADznNF3W1gi47R65MQs754KB7zTaGuYZ was one of the first addresses to fund the address in the OP.
That transaction happened in 2013 https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/5d9ef693d41cb3bb4c6d98e70ea8b2cc91be29a804245a06ec8761d9cddc103c and had 0 fee for 69471.08220100 BTC

Made me wonder how come 0 fee. All I found was a reddit post and could not understand the logic.
Unless the mempool is pretty empty why would miners "want" to add 0 fee transactions and is there really a correlation between how old the transaction input is and associated fee ?
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: We as a community must boycott Coinmarketcap.com on: August 27, 2020, 09:15:37 AM
It's business so expect to have this issues if you think yhis is an issue, maybe we should see first if the coin or token really worth to be listed since if it will be added on first exchange and doing a good job for sure the CMC and other big exchange will find them a good asset to be listed on their platforms. We should also know that there are so many scams out there and you can't blame the platform to became more stricter and asking for payments since they deserve that CMC is big site and they have there own rules so for those who want to get listed they should follow it.

I don't expect everyone to understand what I mean.
You go on CMC just to check the coin/token for your next sig campaign.
Once you have a project or you talk directly with the owners and devs of a certain coin you will find out how far the rabbit hole goes. All the good, the bad and the ugly things.

If saying it's free and asking for bribe or exchanges delisting coins that paid to get listed and were not told of any volume requirements at first "just business" I wouldn't want to do business with people like you.

For the end user these are not visible or not important. However these things need to change, that's for sure!
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: We as a community must boycott Coinmarketcap.com on: August 21, 2020, 01:07:54 PM
I also know of coins that wanted to get listed on exchanges. The exchange said you need to be on CMC first. Then CMC said you need to be listed on exchanges first

After over half an year back and forth they found a rusian guy they paid some BTC and got then in CMC within days (and you thought it's free... lol )
Also exchanges that de-list coins due to low volume and then propose their in-house market maker for $3k per month.

It really is a jungle out there. Sorry to hear about your experience with them but does not surprise me at all.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: August 16, 2020, 12:45:58 AM
But you should understand that the fees for arbitrage transactions are very expensive now. It can cost thousands of dollars in commission and more.
This will depend on the number of operations in 1 transaction, and we must understand that with an increase in the number of operations, the time for an arbitration opportunity decreases proportionally
(projects recalculate the value of assets according to internal algorithms). Therefore, the cost of a mistake can be large.

You mean because of the high mining fees in ETH blocks recently?
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: August 15, 2020, 11:04:58 PM
...

I read about the bzx "hack" but could not understand much.

In the meantime finally found an article that kind of made sense (to me at least) : https://cryptos.com/flash-loans-ethereum-can-make-you-rich-under-15-seconds/

So you need to code a script that takes the borrowed loan, uses it somehow (trade, arbitrage etc) and return the loan within the same block (so around 13 sec with the current ETH hashrate and difficulty).
And if you make some profit, you keep it. If not the transaction is "reverted" and you lose the gas fees.

Does this sound about right?
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is what I don’t understand about DEFI? on: August 15, 2020, 07:41:16 PM
How about flash loans then?
From what I managed to understand is you take a no-collateral loan and you pay it back instantly.
Did not understand what "instantly" means tbh.
I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Would anyone be so kind to dumb it down for me please?
59  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: August 08, 2020, 07:04:21 PM
Afaik the lightning network currently supports the 15th decimal place...

Cute, but unless BTC is worth $10 million what does that realistically achieve? Where are you going to spend $0.0000000002?
Does that have a practical use case besides being a proof of concept?
60  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: August 08, 2020, 09:23:40 AM
I did not, that was the point I had to use *BitPay* not btcpay to do it.
Sorry if I did not make that clear.
But, the issue you are having kind of makes the point. It's easy to integrate a lot of payment methods but so many things in the bitcoin world are just more difficult then needed.

Must have read the first sentence, got excited and did not read carefully the rest. Thanks for the clarification

That's not always true. I believe Apple did a good job on hardware, and software, by starting from the UX, then engineer everything around it.

There should be real easy-to-use-software for ordinary users to help for a faster adoption rate. Everyone can't be problem-solvers, searching for solutions from community-forums like Linux users.

Are you really comparing a billion dollar money making giant with an open source monetary revolution?

The idea to work on UX first is nice, but Apple did not invent the wheel in the industry or anything like that. Just developed a good looking device. Makes little sense to generalise that this would be the right way.
