According to what I can find, Canada treat cryptocurrency as if it's a commodity (for some reason) so it's probably best to take it up with those lawyers or ask them for (probably paid) advice on whether you need to file for a license or not (I was under the assumption a lot of places don't thoggh so it'll be interesting to find out if you do)...

According to this thread on stackoverflow, it disables line wrapping: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46463027/base64-doesnt-have-w-option-in-mac

Afaik wrapping is the number of characters that can fit on a line, but it's been a while...
4083  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Unbelievable undervalued gem - RNDR on: June 18, 2020, 08:03:46 PM
Has it moved nowhere in 3 years? There might not be space for it in the space/it might have functions covered elsewhere...

I'm yet to see from your post what it actually does and whether the celebrity endorsement you list is actually a valid one, how easy is it ti make an account with medium and shove someone else's face on it...
4084  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs. Cash Inflation — A discussion on which is better on: June 18, 2020, 04:37:41 AM
Your article is quite nice, I'm not sure how much of this has been covered before though - probably most of it but it is pretty concise.

I was thinking, before reading your thread. When looking at inflation, the US and most of Europe is targeting 1.7% currency inflation and other countries wnd up with inflation at 8-20% so there's potential that bitcoin would act as an additional store of value for those people - especially since so many people outside the US hold the dollar (for some reason/world reserve currency) and some ciuntries trade with it too, bitcoin might be welcome to them.

I think even in a deflationary space, people will always chase the dragon. No one in a financial rat run who actively participates will want to give up their opportunity to do better than the status quo.
4085  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Decade of investment on: June 18, 2020, 04:13:38 AM
I'm coming across the idea that an investment $<1m if well managed can return up to around 1000% over a decade (kinda a helpful benchmark here imo).

Caution is also necessary with every investment, you can't allot a certain amount of cash on something you don't have faith in and that COULD reach zero unless you can teach yourself to hodl no matter what with some amount that you have at least and are willing to lose for the potential gains. But you can only lose 100% and can gain a lot more tjough... If you cash out when you double or set a stop loss with an amount you can't afford to lose then you might be more comfortable investing.
4086  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies Try Showing Appreciative Replies. on: June 18, 2020, 04:07:56 AM
Yeah this is always something that seems fairly annoying, once someone gets a solution they ignore their thread and don't bother to say how they fixed it. This is a problem if multiple answers are given as often, for technical issues especially, the main fix you found also works for the majority of others who get the same error for some time so it saves new threads from being opened unnecessarily.



Also is it possible for you to not capitalise the first letter of every word, it gives me an odd feeling.
4087  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Clipper on: June 18, 2020, 04:03:58 AM
As a user do you want a suspicious file is inside on your computer that can access a lot of your personal information and cryptocurrency wallet? If yes, better to lock this thread and don't give any problem to the other members and back to the forum, you told you to enjoy. We are having a lot of care for every member of the forum that's why they made the main board so the newbies and other members may aware of the things which are not safe to the members.

If you don't want to use this, good. Don't just carry away because of the information you get that you can use the term "hacker" it is not cool if you are stealing of information by others and using the software came from unknown sources that give trouble to the other members.

Another simply way is just double/triple check your bitcoin address before sending.

Have a great day  Smiley and stay safe

As this information only gives a lot of doubt to the users because just a simple investment of 1 BTC you will get back an earning of 2 BTC it is impossible its a huge loss to them so stay away on this kind of method earnings.

Did you read the start post? I see nothing about any suggestion of actually running anything on your machine? He was saying don't install malware on your computer and look out for it by doing things such as running AV.
4088  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin Clipper on: June 18, 2020, 02:23:31 AM
Also don't run stuff from people you can't trust. An anonymous source on the Internet can't be detected and shouldn't be trusted. If you check signature legitimacy on other software this also can't happen (and cheap AV is a good idea too).
4089  Economy / Economics / Re: Very strange most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few on: June 17, 2020, 07:09:53 PM
Btc is probably one of the most secure and has had the longest track record for security. It also has a fairly large development pool as well as a lot of people thinking the good parts of other coins will come to bitcoin... Its pretty stable in price too compared with alts and a bit more trusted to remain at the same price over long periods of time (it'll still be worth more than alts for at least a few months which we can be pretty confident about).

I think the trade off in fees is worth it for the security, availability and speed if things are bought for delivery or bought over the ln.
4090  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Fake BTC giveaway from hacked youtube accounts! on: June 17, 2020, 06:07:11 PM
Yeah this has become a common thing now, I got a notification from someone's backup channel to say their main had been hacked and has an obviously fake crypto giveaway on it...

They had a guy pretending to be someone notable in the crypto space and the same sort of giveaway...
4091  Economy / Economics / Projected GDP figures look like an interesting find on: June 17, 2020, 05:39:19 PM
I found this European Government chart on projected GDP figures and it seemed quite interesting: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/historic-and-projected-gdp-in#tab-chart_1

I think this is what we all expected but if anyone wanted one to look at, here it is...
This chart is from 2015, it looks like they got the EEA right with a gdp of 15 trillion $, us is a bit higher than expected and china is lower.
The EEA is expected to grow constantly from here, chian and India were also expected to exponentially increase in gdp...

(I'm using figures on gdp from December quoted by Google because current figures will be impacted by the pandemic)..
4092  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Traditional Authentication, 2FA and 2SV on: June 17, 2020, 04:19:44 PM
Sending authentication keys as an oto either on Google auth and sms are something used widely across the whole financial industry from what I've seen.

The ubikey/cryptographic signature part though is a well welcomed part here at increasing security, I've sedn a lot of sites using it but quite a few don't and it'd be nice if they did so hopefully they can notice this topic (or new devs might at least)...
4093  Other / Meta / Re: A new board request: Blockchain gaming board. on: June 17, 2020, 05:02:10 AM
The three boards would fit depending on the type of game:
micro earnings would be less than around $10/week on average but if I could be played without paying in
Games and rounds if you have to pay into it or you're wanting to target that audience
And altcoins if it's for an alt that doesn't follow bitcoin

It's up to you as a marketer to decide where best fits your platform. Equally, if you make a new board whos going to visit it? I spend quite a bit of time lurking in global new topics and I suspect a lot of others do too and also pick random boards to look at. I don't think people start here with a specific board in mind each time...
4094  Other / Meta / Re: A new board request: Blockchain gaming board. on: June 17, 2020, 04:33:47 AM
I think it's a bit too niche to have its own board. You could put it in games and rounds or micro earnings, of its altcoin based it'll probably just fit in altcoin announcements since there isn't a gambling section there although if the site offers a stable coin - matched in price with a Satoshi for example - it could still belong in games and rounds or micro earnings.

Arcade games are still gambling at the end of the day for exple too...
4095  Economy / Economics / Re: India-China border tensions on: June 17, 2020, 04:23:49 AM
I think China now has a well developed standard for building up tensions between other countries like the others have said, it could be a negotiation tactic or something if India are showing similar tensions. I also don't think Indias army is anywhere close to the strength of China (but I might be wrong on this as I haven't studied the two). There may already be tensions due to china's cover-up of the virus and a lot of people seem to think they weren't badly affected by it which could be a stance a lot of governments take (even though a lot of sources have proven China took quite a hit to its economy and population).
4096  Economy / Goods / Re: I am looking to buy gold coin or bullion with BTC or ETH on: June 17, 2020, 01:03:15 AM
Do you plan on turning up with some sort of ultrasound tester too? This might be better done with a card payment as it'll offer you longer to test the gold is actually legit and isn't gilt or fake.
4097  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: be carriful about https://exchangeist.com / exchangeist.com (pls read) on: June 16, 2020, 08:27:56 PM
I can't seem to find much from them on search engines other than trifolium coin listing (I assume that's their exchanges own coin)?
4098  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [MERIT] NOOB PROBLEMS on: June 16, 2020, 07:35:11 PM
Og has given you your first merit, I looked through your post history and if you keep going the way you have gone and try to improve yourself as you go, you'll earn more merit to advance to Jr and further.

These begging threads won't work unless your history proves you've earnt it (just if other members think of doing the same).
4099  Economy / Economics / Re: The stock market prices are fake ..hyperinflation is coming soon on: June 16, 2020, 02:19:14 PM
Hyperinflation just wouldn't make sense imo. We could see a month where the current printing reflects on inflation but it should only be up for. A month or two (I think the UK has managed to hit 17% inflation before over the year) we're currently at 0.9%... The US are probably close to the 1% too as apposed to 1.7%.

When money comes out of a market it has to go somewhere, I doubt market movements of a few % are really any form of illegal manipulation. They're just a drop and a rise.
4100  Economy / Economics / Re: Soul shout on: June 15, 2020, 11:01:17 PM
In stable times our inflation was at 1.7%. Bank accounts pay 1.1% interest... Mortgage interest here is 3-8%.

There's no reason you can't keep up a job while continuing on with education, some high skill low demand jobs will pay similar to a full time job on part time if you're capable enough. You can obviously try to invest in things but you need to know what you're doing, you can't say you're doing well if you can't compete with an equity fund (unless you've put your money into one).

Also, if you're pretty young your credit score will be quite low and you might get bored or stressed about the idea of remaining in the same place for a long amount of time. You'll also be without a history of being able to repay a loan too (back to credit score) ...

And then there's a question of how to socialise and meet new people as a lot of people find out about events and other things through their colleagues afaict.
