Wow, I would love to earn 5 BTC in 25 days, but I suspect this more likely to result losing 35 BTC in the time it takes to get one confirmation.  So, I'm just quoting this for posterity...  And archiving.

They do.  I'm not in the IT department, so I don't know how frequently (by design I'm sure.)  I'm a mechanical engineer, but since I have a fair amount of experience as a user I'm often asked to help trouble-shoot.  We only have one IT guy on site so he comes to me when he needs an extra hand, or if he's not here the guys from the corporate side will call me to flip a physical switch or something.

Some of our facilities have already started migrating to Win10, I believe our migration is scheduled for November. 

1) The perception of being a trusted individual gives them a slight advantage, ie. in a currency exchange or buying/selling physical goods they could convince the other party to send first.

2) That depends on the situation, a would be scammer can be selective about who and when he scams, waiting for that one big score.

3) Again, situational.  With the appearance of "trust" a member could lure many into his scam scheme.

4) Another situational answer.  The user could target only newbies, and nobody listens to the complaints of newbies.  If that's the case, a user could abuse his position for months before being called out.

5) If the user in question has been careful to remain anonymous, he'll lose the trust of the community, or at most the account.  But that's about it.  If the account has exposed his true identity, then more is at stake and that could largely depend on the amount scammed.

6) I see this as "so far so good."  I think (or would like to believe) that there are plenty of good people here looking out for one another.  I think we have a pretty good group on DT1 for the most part, and as the system gets more exposure and we all gain experience I think it'll get better.

7) I think it will all balance its self out, as long as nobody fears retaliation.  If you think someone with a high rank is being shitbird, call him out on it.  If you're right any retaliation will be mitigated in due time.

You've been here longer than me.  You created your account 19 months ago, that seems like plenty of time to acquaint yourself with the lending board's rules.  


They don't lend crypto, they lend fiat with crypto as collateral.  They require 190% collateralization.  Their rates seem quite low, almost too good to be true.

Good luck.  

I have $59.28 in my PayPal, if you're interested.  PM me with your preferred PayPal address and I'll send it over.

I love it, it's like we have three new board with really valuable information that I can peruse.  I even found some threads worth reading at the top of the Altcoin Ann board.

The only trouble is I'm tempted to reply to threads that haven't seen daylight since 2015... 

I agree, but that discussion should be held in a topic of it's own.



I don't know that this would prove anything.  Regardless of the encryption method you suggest, we must still trust that ChipMixer's code running on their server is the same code made available for public audit.  Without being granted access rights to their server (which I can't imagine happening) we're left taking their word for it.  Like we're taking them at their word that they are not logging.

Windows 7 is still supported currently, but it's "End of Life" is scheduled for this coming January.  I'm still using Win7 at work, (company computer) and it's pretty darn secure.  We have a robust anti-malware and anti-virus suite with hard-drive boot encryption that helps keeps the systems secure.  

Just like any os, it's only as secure as the user is careful.  If you go around clicking on every link that pops up to great you, and download every game your friends post on facebook, it's just a matter of time before get smacked with a virus or malware.

I use Win10 on my home PCs, and I agree it's inherently more secure than Win7.  I also think it's more streamlined, and less resource intensive, and actually works better on older hardware than Win7.  Given that a Win7 key will upgrade to Win10 for free, there's really no reason not to upgrade.  

I really like the idea here, but I have some questions:

Does one card represent one private key?  How are the keys generated?  Is it a hierarchy deterministic wallet, and if so do you initiate the wallet with a seed created by the Electrum client?

You'll have to excuse my ignorance and skepticism, but I'm not a technical guy so I wouldn't be able to scrutinize the code for anything malicious.  Have you had a trusted third party audit the code?

I didn't have time to thoroughly read the whole article but the information seems flawed right from the get-go.  The author is comparing the number of cents per hour that citizens of the US, Canada, and Mexico are able to save, but what's not taken into account is the difference in wages and costs of living in those various countries.

Also, I'm not sure what the author is considering as "savings."  Is her scope only including traditional savings accounts?  Because I don't put shit in my traditional savings account.  My employer matches what I deposit into my 401K, and if I have a little left after my monthly budget it goes into an IRA account (or crypto.)

No.  Like BitCryptex said, you can have multiple accounts without a passphrase, Trezor allows you up to 10 accounts per wallet, each account can generate a nearly limitless number of addresses.  If you use Electrum you can set the derivation paths which allows up to a million accounts.


I keep all my backup information in one place; I keep paper backups in a fire-resistant envelope, which is stored in a fire-resistant steel safe.  My family will have access to the safe upon my demise.  I store the seed extensions (passphrases) along with the seeds, on the same piece of paper.  I'm not concerned about the security of the seeds, the only people who will ever have access to them are my kids, and I trust them.  

If I didn't want my kids to have access to the safe until I die, I could set up two or more trusts with a part of the safe's combination in each trust.  That way no one entity will have access to all information needed, but the kids will get it all once I kick the bucket.


You can still be a "hodler" and own both.  A paper wallet is less practical for spending, so it's often considered the most affordable and practical way to hodl.  A hardware wallet is a very practical way to safely store coins, but still have easy access to spend them.

I have no paper wallets per se, but I do have a "cold wallet" backed-up by an extended seed I generated using Electrum on an air-gapped machine.  The seed is backed-up but doesn't exist on any electronic device, not even the air-gapped machine I used to create it.  I have the master public key (xpub) in a watch-only wallet, so I can easily check the wallet and pick out addresses to which I can send more coins.

Okay, this thread started out bad, but it just got Fucik'd.

I'm assuming your users are capable of coming up with a ETH address, would it be so much trouble to ask them to generate a BTC address which they add to the smart contract?  Might be a simpler way of getting from A to B.

Denied.  You would only qualify to borrow 0.0004 BTC.  At that amount the interest prospects are likely less than the tx fees. 

Why don't you just forget about Ethereum and use GPG?  Encrypting files with GPG (PGP) is easy and secure.  Add all the files you want to a zip file for compression and convenience, and just encrypt the zip file.  You can still add a password to the zip file for an added layer of security.

@Abdussamad, good find.  It sound's like that fixed the OP's issue.

@Dragonizer, you should be able to download and install Windows 10 for free.  Just use the Win7 product key when prompted.  I have a couple of older machines running Win10, and all run better than they did with Win7.  An affordable and easy upgrade that'll help speed up your system is a SSD hard drive.

You can get the installation tool here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/
It'll walk you though upgrading your system, or you can use it to create a bootable USB or an ISO file.  Super easy.

Very impressive.  I think I just found a winter project and a use for my raspberry pi.

And I'm sure that's a huge factor.  I'm not faulting anyone for their use of trust settings.  Notice theymos isn't weighing-in on any of these debates?  He set up a system that's decentralized.  It's up to us to make sure it works for everybody, not just a select a select few.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: I set up my trust list for my own personal needs.  I never asked anyone to be on DT1 or 2, and I'll keep setting up my trust list for my personal needs if I get kicked off both.  It's of no fault of mine that my actions have a resounding effect on the forum as a whole.

However, there is a method to my madness, as I've tried to illustrate in my original post.  And that's exactly the point, maybe the method of madness I employ is the reason I'm on DT1 (still.)  And those who stack their trust-list with every single trade partner they've ever had, or their friends, or their countrymen?  Probably not.

But you know what the best part is?  Those people can still use their trust list the way they want.  It still works for them to go on as if nothing happened, because really nothing particularly important happened.  They just got kicked off DT1, no big deal, life goes on.  Or is it such a big deal?  If it is, one needs to question why.

If there is one flaw in my actions to which I will admit it's not taking the time to PM you and discuss my actions with you privately.  I do like you so perhaps I should have given you that courtesy.  In fact, I should probably start giving everyone I choose to exclude that courtesy.  But your repeated insistence that this fable I've constructed was purely about you is quite narcissistic.  It's not a good look, man.

To be specific, a homophobic bully who condones violence against those who's sexual orientation he finds distasteful was the final straw.  There are and were others, which is what caused me to remove you from my inclusions six months ago.  By not including you the issue was solved.  The issue remained solved until a few days ago when you convinced a disenfranchised ethnic group that you were on their side.  Ironically that ethnic group became disenfranchised for the very same reasons I excluded you.

I use the words that come to mind, substantial or otherwise.  

For clarity I'll try to answer with less pedanticism:  I excluded you because I don't agree with your inclusions.  I don't care to have those whom you've included affect my trust network's ratings and reviews.  That's it, as simply as I can articulate it.

 

Well, okay then.  I'll take you for your word, I hope you can take me for mine.  I'm not trying to be accepted by any club, least of which one that will have me as a member.  I'm not trying to punish you, and the fact that you see my exclusion as a form of punishment speaks volumes about your desire to be on DT1, and that makes me question your motives.

No, I don't think you're a scammer.  Yes, I do believe you are a trustworthy individual, and I find you a valuable contributor to the forum.  I also think you'd be a pleasant dude to share a beer with.  But I don't like how you build your trust-list.
