But now things has changed. Some of these altcoin giveaway are not that overwhelming. We need a new direction I guess.
The reason things have changed is because of the rule, not despite it.
You have a point here.

Looking at the past, seeing the number of users got banned even the experience ones, the rule seems not much clear for many. Or perhaps people do not pay much attention in it because it does not look like something breaking a common thing we do.

My point was to ease it. Comparing the old time and now, we have users who are very active reporting spammers so once anything goes out of control and spam is clearly there, I think the community will take care of it.
4063  Other / Meta / Re: Is this giveaway allowed? on: October 06, 2020, 01:21:24 AM
- It is not an altcoin giveaway.
- it is also not a Bitcoin giveaway.
- It is an on-forum giveaway that requires incentivized posting of usernames (might be considered spam, low quality post, etc).
The giveaway is free spin. What I understand is that the board only allows bitcoin giveaway. They are asking to post username only in the forum in exchange for x number of free spins.

If you would like to try our site register an account and post your user name here.

I have seen the cases where users were banned to participate in the giveaways which were not bitcoin giveaways so considering the experience I will not risk myself joining that kind of giveaways unless any mod gives a green signal here.

PS: I think the original no altcoin giveaway was meant to stop all those ICO spammers in the early days when every single day there were dozens of new ICOs were popping up. But now things has changed. Some of these altcoin giveaway are not that overwhelming. We need a new direction I guess.
4064  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Eletrum Wallet , Need help , is this a bug or real !! on: October 06, 2020, 01:10:16 AM
0.008879 mBTC = 0.00000888 BTC
0.22646 mBTC = 0.00022646 BTC

The sending amount 0.00000888 BTC was too small to broadcast, this could even consider dust amount and having 0.00022646 BTC as transaction fees for a tx was just a regular amount.

There were no problem at all except the OP had wrong understanding. I am glad that Bitcoin_Arena was able to close it.

By the way, anyone did not mention so thought to add this that the topic should be in the Electrum section.

Well, the merit cycling club is almost all here (o_e_l_e_o clearly looks down upon Meta lately) so you know everything above is 100% factual Grin
Wait a minute!
Was this post only for the Cycling Club members? Please don't say "yes" or I will feel embarrassed :-P
4067  Other / Meta / Re: If you received a merit... on: October 05, 2020, 06:11:45 PM
I guess the original thought was about receiving a merit from Suchmoon but inspired by LoyceV's post here what I do and don't mean.

If I give you merit(s) then this possibly do means:
- It's a post worth reading for me
- I learnt something new from your post
- You engaged in a discussion
- You did some research and the post is informative
- You helped someone with the information they have asked
- You solved a problem
- You did something good for the community
- I wanted to encourage you to create more posts
- I went through your post history and found out that you deserve ranking up

Possibly do not mean:
- It might not worth reading for anyone else.
- I agree with your view or thoughts
- I am endorsing your suggestion or statement
- A good relation between you and me
- I am emptying my sMerits
- Clicked in the wrong button, I am very careful when I send out merit.

PS: You might find some take and cut from the idea with the users above my post since I read their responses and my post could reflect some idea from them.

PPS: This is not a complete list.

Meh.  Can't fly to Auckland right now anyway.  Must be some Kiwi working at the Holiday Inn who can take a walk up the street and check it out.  If nothing else, the 2 km walk there and back will be good for his health.
How about finding a local?
With some specific instruction the local guy can be paid to do the job. Is there any worldwide site which allows hiring users for a contract job. Maybe those freelancing sites can help.

PS: This could be a total waste of time too.

Use the search function. It's at the top manu.



If you have doubt about a topic then use ab keyword/word and search with it. Selecting time range is handy. You can also the option of ordering your search. My preference is "Most recent topic first"

I was with hostgator for long time but later left them. Problem with them is that they do not allow your domain to visit from a TOR connection. If you ask them to remove the restriction for your domain only still they do not do it. And this is something only they can enable. In their words it is a security risk for them. Now when you are dealing with anonymity in your website, users will use tor and if they can browse from TOR connection then you are losing visitors.

Not a bad day for me. I was able to collect 1 point from two matches. In the DC match I did not think that KKR will lower their defeat even under 39 runs but they were able to lower it to 18 runs! I missed the margin point.

Tomorrow we have MI vs SRH and KXIP vs CSK. Who is going for SRH and CSK? CSK are not in good shape SRH seems a different team since Kane is in the XI.
4072  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 08:11:35 PM
your responds is very clear.
my little confusion. this is possible only if i have more money in the wallet correct ? lets say if i had $120 and i sent $100 with low fee and my wallet balance turns $20. will i still be able to do this double spend , i guess No ?
With the logic we are applying here, yes - you should be as long as you have $20 left in the same address that had $120 to send $100 to another address.

I think 3 confirmation is the safest to be sure that the transactions are going to be confirmed. I have some transactions that get a lot of issues depending on the wallet that I'm using.
If my the amount of a tx is not large then I would not mind with a 1 confirmation. It still takes a lot of resources to reverse a 1 confirmation tx. I think leo had a post about it that how much it could cost to reverse a 1 confirmation tx.
4073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 07:50:07 PM
Because until the transaction is confirmed, the money has not left your wallet yet. By broadcasting a transaction, all you've done is essentially send out a message saying "I want to move money from here to there". Until the transaction is confirmed, no money has actually moved.

You can send out two different messages sending the same money to different places. Whichever one is confirmed first is where the money will go, and the other one will be made invalid.
Correct 100%
In other words, do not complete a deal until the tx has minimum 1 confirmation @HelpMePleaseIbegofYou.
Again sorry for the loss, we all learn from our own experience or someone else's experience.
4074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 07:46:22 PM
this looks soo like magic LOL..

what i do not understand is this. lets say i have $200 in my wallet on blockchain.info, then i send $100 to someone, even if its unconfirmed or low fee i am sure
the money $100 will be deducted from my account. How is it possible i could spend a money that already deduct from my account and move it to another wallet..

i wish to see a video demonstration of this.  This is very very interesting. very smart trick.
I am still trying to get this in my head. Very tricky for me to understand although o_e_l_e_o tried to explain in the post above you. I did make a test tx but I messed up with something and now stuck with some error, nothing wrong and it will be confirmed though. I will let this tx to confirm and then try with a fresh one then will share the flow.

So the first transaction dropped because the second transaction spent the same input as the first transaction. Once it was spent by the second transaction, it was no longer available to be spent in the first, and so the first became invalid.

Even although the 1CKnh... address still had enough funds on it for the first transaction, they were now part of a different output, and so the first transaction was still invalid. Transactions spend specific outputs. If I have an address with 5 outputs each of 1 BTC, and I make two different transactions using the same output, only 1 will confirm and 1 will become invalid, even though there are 4 other outputs of 1 BTC at that address.
That error suck me, it is saying not sufficient fund for fees. Not sure if this is connected with the goal I am trying to achieve. But as I said I will try again once the tx confirms.
4075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 07:03:56 PM
The sender had 0.10494256 BTC in one output on address 1CKnhZmHzj45xdvvsAf3DbLWfYSX53NVMs. This output already had 100+ confirmations.
He made an initial transaction to OP with TXID 2f362caac5d3fa3a1cc586f5bdbb36bcfe6446cfc112eb1cb097d9669688204a, which spent that output with a fee of 1 sat/vbyte.
He then made a second transaction with TXID 31c444900939113ad1c57277fc2904b20f77e57f76f95eee45ec119e72a6342c, which spen the same output to a different address (presumably his own) with a fee of 20.2 sats/vbyte.
When I responded I did not check the tx but explained the possibility now I see the tx history of that address (output address of the sender).

Tx in question is this: 2f362caac5d3fa3a1cc586f5bdbb36bcfe6446cfc112eb1cb097d9669688204a
and this tx has OPs address 34Y9ZwTsT3H9zcnffirc2NM4XMkNmaLws6

Then the sender somehow removed the OPs address and replaced it with this address 1HrtBS3eM1wG7UKuP39fqnRQVX6FJvc8An
And used higher fees. The tx is 31c444900939113ad1c57277fc2904b20f77e57f76f95eee45ec119e72a6342c

In both cases the change address was the same address as the output which is 1CKnhZmHzj45xdvvsAf3DbLWfYSX53NVMs

First tx (2f362caac5d3fa3a1cc586f5bdbb36bcfe6446cfc112eb1cb097d9669688204a) had less fees and had this address (1CKnhZmHzj45xdvvsAf3DbLWfYSX53NVMs) as changed.
Address 1CKnhZmHzj45xdvvsAf3DbLWfYSX53NVMs has unconfirmed coin, and he went to spend that unconfirmed coin. Once he made the 2nd tx then the first tx was effected because it had its input and output same address. And as a reason the first Tx dropped?

I never experienced that but the dry run takes me to this path for the drop of the first tx. Please correct me where I am wrong.

PS: I might do a test tx to see it myself. This is interesting for me.
4076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 02:55:04 PM
Thanks so much guys. really do not know Double Spend can do this. but really such feature does not make good to me.
replace by fee feature is Ok and helps when you want to accelerate confirmation. this double spend..whats the benefit ? only good for cheating or ?

It was a replace by fee and he has done it with the first transaction which was to the address A in my example. But since the other transaction which gone from address A and the input of A which is the output of first transaction was changed hence the tx that was to you was dropped.

The idea is a miner needs to pick up the transaction.
4077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 02:25:46 PM
What is the exact principle behind this technique? Isn’t the transaction once broadcasted is captured with the nodes and it permanently sits there?
It does but it needs at least 1 confirmation. But here again one can also reverse the coin after a confirmation but it will cost you so much power and resources that if this is not huge amount of money then it is not worth it. Once a transaction gets 6 confirmation then you are looking at million dollar expense to reverse the transaction which is does not simply make sense to spend.

For small amount it is advisable to wait for at least one confirmation and for big amount waiting for 6 confirmation is safe.
4078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How is this possible ? A Recent transaction suddenly becomes invalid on: October 03, 2020, 01:53:06 PM
You should have wait for at least 1 confirmation unless you trust the guy. This is what happened in my guess:

- The guy sent coins to an address A which he owns and the fees were less of course
- He then sent the coins from the address A, and the coins of the address A (input)were not confirmed yet.
- He then gone back to the first transaction and rebroadcast the first transaction with a higher fee. And in rebroadcasting process, the tx you had with address A gone dropped.

I had RCB but after the toss I thought to go with RR and that was a mistake LOL. Lost easy 1 point I guess :-D

Kohli seemed very relaxed and happy in the ground.

I am betting frequently, roller coaster ride so losing some and winning some.
Did you have any stake in this match?
4080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏏🏏 sportbet.one 🏏🏏 [IPL 2020] Prediction pool and discussion 🏏🏏 on: October 03, 2020, 10:46:11 AM
We request none pool participants not to make any post here. Please the main topic where local rules written in red font. Thanks for your co-operation.

PS : stop worrying about points Tongue
Who worries about it. When I make a pick I leave it to my luck and enjoy the match. So far I have made my all picks blindly except todays one. But it seems when I put my heart and soul in a pick then the team starts falling :-P

PS: The matches are to unpredictable that I have not gambled in this IPL yet LOL

PPS: Wait I think I did once and lost that :-D
