If you're trying to advertise your site and actually want people to click your link, you'd be better off giving headings and subheadings to explicitly state what the site offers.

You can't have everything included and it's more likely to get picked up by search engines afaik (but I'm no expert).

Corona virus appeared in December, it appeared internationally at the end of Jan but even before then there were probably carriers in sj and jn.

I don't know why bitcoin would be correlated with the markets. Wise investors probably set and forget and they probably have the highest stake at this time...
4563  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is it possible to send transaction to few addresses? on: March 07, 2020, 12:23:55 PM
Yes.

Just put in the address followed by a comma followed by the amount and hit enter and do this until addresses are submitted.
If you have a spreadsheet you could also turn it into a csv and import that.

Should be in the form:
address1, amount
address2, amount2

You'll have to do as nc50lc suggests.

If that doesn't work and there's another file corruption, you'll be better off reindexing to a new folder if you have enough space an dpotentiallu move your current data dir off the drive (you can keep the main parent and just move the blocks and chainstate if you do that).
4565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Want to play with bitcoin cli, no harddrive space on: March 06, 2020, 04:03:30 PM
You can add -prune=4000 to your config file and it'll only store 4000 megabytes worth of data on your sad as apposed to the traditional ~300gb as the chain stands now... Make sure you backup the drive and are happy to lose it just in case as it's quite an intensive operation.
4566  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin ready for world wide 1 currency? on: March 06, 2020, 12:40:00 AM
Think about it this way, currency is valued from other assers.
The kilo of bananas you want to buy costs $1 and that's the only reason the dollar has value, because you can use it to buy stuff.... That same kilo of bananas in the UK is 90p... The comparison between fiat currencies to other fiat currencies isn't a new thing by any means.

The idea bitcoin isn't the same is because the banks and rich people thst haven't bought in want you to think that's why it isn't a real currency or could never be one because it keeps being compared to other currencies.

If this didn't happen with other currencies, forex will be in trouble. The issue with bitcoin atm is that it can't scale to the size of fiat yet... But it might be a matter of time until it can.

The start of #2 on your highlighted text shows that doesn't it?

How would using someone's photo and unmasking their identity not come across as being used just as a weapon?
4568  Other / Meta / Re: Sponsored threads on: March 06, 2020, 12:14:40 AM
I personally like the idea of keeping stuff in signature and avatar space and they're probably. More appropriate there.

Thread sponsorship is quite difficult to find a sponsor for afaik and Mitchell's signature ad overview often seems to go without an ad for example. The benefit of them over signatures is that they can be images and banners rather than the bbcode used in signature ads and sometimes that could get annoying... But I'm guessing animated ads can be quickly removed.

Yeah, I'm not a massive fan of advertisements within posts, but I can see why others would be against that. After all if its Bitcoin related it can be somewhat beneficial to offer exposure, and promote Bitcoin services. Although, having said that I'd agree with your outlook on things. I'd prefer advertisements to stay in signatures. However, if I were to offer a prime example of posts that would be eligible in my eyes it would likely be Mitchell's, and another users which went through the installation of mining equipment, but I can't quite remember that user right now.

Was that the guy who used to have a list in his signature of every miner that had been released that he made a guide for? It was back in 2015 or 2016 and he had a guide for all the antminer S and U series, avalon, bitfury and a many others?
4569  Other / Meta / Re: Sponsored threads on: March 05, 2020, 11:47:36 PM

Maybe others could post links to more characteristic threads. I just found less than a handful that were obvious to me.

I was talking about this one of Mitchell's: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0

If that's what you meant?
4570  Other / Meta / Re: Sponsored threads on: March 05, 2020, 11:43:45 PM
In accordance to theymos' post quoted above I probably wouldn't consider most of these threads substantial enough for sponsorship. However, I'd be interested in hearing the general communities opinions. I'm also assuming some of those thread owners have contacted theymos prior to sponsoring the thread. I likely have a different perception to many, and think that sponsored posts or advertisements should only be included on threads which are in depth, and have a minimum read time above 10 minutes. Although, that is the gambling section, so expectations could be less over in that section.

What sort of stuff are we talking?

I'd say:
1. If it's in the public domain, you're probably fine to post it
2. If it's taken of someone and is an informal photo (one they didn't want to be taken) or one that was previously on the deep Web or well hidden (so wasn't easily accessible), there's a case for getting it removed.

Also if they're from Europe and Theymos wants to comply with gdpr then mods will also have to remove it but im not sure on the forums stance with gdpr.

Hi, when you say " Address" do you mean wallet address ? If so then yes i do.

4573  Other / Politics & Society / Don't buy facemasks for the coronavirus! on: March 05, 2020, 06:46:09 PM
Edit: I bought a mask, I'm fairly neutral on the topic now but it became law and I'm not of an age where coronavirus should have little affect so it makes sense for others' protection.

if you're going to wear a mask, make sure it has a ridge on it and that you can breathe in and out normally without the mask moving. IF YOU BREATHE IN OR OUT HARD IT SHOULD MOVE SLIGHTLY BUT SHOULD MOULD BACK AND NOT ENTER YOUR MOUTH - IF IT ENTERS YOUR MOUTH AND GETS WET THEN IT'S POINTLESS. I used mjnd continuously for 5 hours and it seemed to have little effect on me.




They won't protect you and you're just adding more waste to the land and water... They also don't cover your eyes which is probably how most infection gets in.

According to healthline and many other sources, COVID-19/the novel coronavirus has a diameter of ~120nm while face masks only have a filter up to 300nm. I've been looking through information on facemasks have two main purposes:
1. Industrial: This is where someone is commonly working with small particles that need to be blocked going into their respiratory tract, such as wood workers and the like. Thre is also a use case for these in China for their pollution levels since carbon particulates above 100 micrometers in size are known for increasing the risk of asthma and 300 micrometers are known for producing carcinogens pretty quickly (I hope i got that the right way round).
2. Medical: Contrary to what a lot of people would thiink, the N95 model (I'm told is the most popular in medicine) actually just stops the surgeon/practitioner from projecting salivery deposits onto a patient and aren't actually for reducing the amount of infection spread between the two - probably the reason most doctors actually don't wear these. Quarrentine outfits probably give the doctor a certain amount of time in with a patient before they're changed, or have additional tuping to allow for them to receive air from outside the quarrentine unit (either that or they have more advanced filters, there's probably some fancy electrostatics devices for this sort of thing).

Anyway, your face masks just mean you're improving everyone else's air quality and may mean your immune system starts to become complacent (well if my nose is already covered, I clearly don't have to do anything)...

And the eyes link back with the same tubes as your nose and mouth, hence why when you have strong eye drops, you can taste them in the back of your mouth or when you throw up you feel your eyes burning a little.



IF you're under 35, it's highly unlikely it'll kill you.
If you're over 35 but are still pretty healthy, you shouldn't face much issue with it either. I've known 60&70 year olds to have caught pneumonia and barely noticed it (just got a temperature and shivers). If you worry about it too much or you're not healthy, that's when problems can start to arise and probably the hope with a lot of mainstream media that you will catch something and give a payout to big pharma (I'm looking at you USA)..
4574  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Update won't recognise seed on: March 05, 2020, 06:22:00 PM

Do you know your address or the first three letters? I can try to write up some script for woking out whether it's an accepted mnemonic or not but it might be difficult due to an (over)use of packages on electrum's side.
4575  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Update won't recognise seed on: March 05, 2020, 02:33:29 PM


@HCP it's probably out of scope but there could be a chance a clipbload virus changed the seed or a chance of something else happening (i.e an old version of the wallet with some vulnerabilities or something)...

Clipboard malware can only change the coin address, where did you get the idea that it could change seed and what would be the benefit of it for whoever would do it?

Yeah I forgot there was a confirmation screen so the clipboard virus would probably do nothing...

It's more likely the seed is somewhere in those words instead now. I'm not sure if there are any validation tools that can check the accuracy of a seed but it might be possible to edit electrums code to do it, have you got the words well spaced? Are they all line separated and all 12 words?

So, basically everybody on Bitcointalk? This is going to be a monumental effort to maintain  Wink

Yeah lol... Its going to be huge!

Be interesting if you actually manage to keep track of this, it sure is a lot of spaces...
4577  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [FEB 2020] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: March 05, 2020, 01:45:49 PM

the main developers discussed it, I think either on IRC or the bitcoin-dev mailing list. All agreed (or at least, noone present back then disagreed) that reducing the lower bound for minrelayfee was a good move, and 0.1 sats/byte was suggested as the new minimum. The code governing fee estimation needed changing to accommodate that extra order of magnitude in granularity, and although the work to do so was started, it was never finished (not sure why). There's a link to the pull request in the Bitcoin github repo... I think further back in this thread (in one of my posts)

It might have been a lot for them to try to edit, I'll have a look above as I've had to start with a bit of c/c++ so know a very limited amount of it... If they can't do it I probably can't but it might be worth looking at.

I remember the sat was the lowest unit Satoshi wrote and it was in a uint64 and care would have to be taken as I think that was near the max for the 21 million. 2^64 is around 8x10^14 so it's very close to the limit afaik (I might be out by a factor of 10).
4578  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Californian judge will let XRP lawsuit to proceed against Ripple on: March 04, 2020, 10:31:11 PM
As the others have alluded to, keeping a case going forward and sustaining a prosecution are two completely different things.

If you're not under time pressure to answer a question and can come back to it after with a group of people, it's much better to do it that way and you can come to an appropriate decision in time.

I don't know and guilty are two completely different things and the fact it's pushed to a lawsuit as squatter said means that they can get a concise answer for better referencing in future cases and projects... To know if something was legal or not.

I've used the wallet with out problem the whole time I've had it. The problem started last week when my iMac drive went sons and i did a fresh install . I backed up my drive beforehand and im currently in the process of restoring it. 
Im hoping i can restore the original app with the associated files and launch the app, and open the wallet with password. Wishful thinking huh?

I only ever downloaded the electrum app from the bonafide site and the app has updated once since with no problem. Downloaded file to computer and launched automatically , if that makes sense.

Te seed was a 12 word seed and im waiting for the deep scan to complete before i search for the recoverable files.

Depending on what happened to the drive you probably can restore it if it wasn't a crash and was an IO error or something, it might be helpful to send it to adisk repairer but they'll probably charge you a similar amount to recover it (~£160 afaik - unless they've dramatically reduced their pricing).

If you can do it yourself then it's probably the best way tot go, remember to copy stuff across don't try editing things on the backup drive itself as that can cause a lot more problems for files in case they need to be recovered later on and you overwrite something while it's plugged in.
