and here is a challenge:
this is the sha1 hash of my bitcointalk password, have fun hacking my Hero Member account:
*snip*
Not quoting, coz if this checksum is not salted it might have been a very bad idea to post it. first of all its just an account  secondly the point is you can NOT reverse it to find my real password which is long and hard AF! this is the crappy old SHA1 we are talking about. a password hash is not as easily broken as you may think. it is called an irreversible hash function for a reason!
this means if btc-e used a proper way to save the password and hashed them properly using salt,... then it is impossible to crack them.
In reality decrypting a large SHA-1 hash is nearly impossible. But since SHA-1 maps several byte sequences to one, you can't "decrypt" a hash, but in theory you can find collisions: strings that have the same hash. IMHO. collision is no longer "in theory" google already successfully produces a collision with SHA1 and it took them about 2^63.1 SHA1 evaluations and it is about 110 years of single GPU calculation. but it has nothing to do with "reversing and finding the password" someone with that much computation power can only reproduce the same hash as my original password have fun holding the same hash for another string for no reason  |

The salt is also on the database. And it's trivial to crack such passwords, because they are hashed with a weak hash function (because it is not practical to waste the CPU power of the server).
ok, i am no expert here but there is no way you can reverse a hash result, and hash of the passwords are saved on the server, when you log in the system hashes your input and checks the two hashes against each other if it is the same you can log in if not it says "wrong password". that is why in recovery they reset your password they can never tell you what it was. and here is a challenge: this is the sha1 hash of my bitcointalk password, have fun hacking my Hero Member account: 83c3f71b00dc91a9a4864ccdbbe54213eddf548f

bitcoin cash may die and disappear in a week but its cancer will continue to bite us in the ass for years to come.
it started a trend.
so far bitcoin has always been based on consensus. you change something or add a feature like P2SH for example. then you reach a high support and fork.
this cancer broke years of smooth forking and spat on the meaning of consensus. tomorrow anyone with a small hashrate is going to fork bitcoin and make bitcoin 2.0, 3.0, ....

I was running multisig but both on the same PC. First i ran the portable electrum.exe from electrum-wallet.com but when it did not load my wallets *NOTE : the ones that had BTC in them ,it loaded just fine any other wallet ) - I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity
who told you that "electrum-wallet.com" is the real website to download a bitcoin wallet from? i am sorry for your loss but you should have double checked where you are downloading your wallet. this is not even the first scam attempt and there have been a couple of more of these sites like this. the official electrum wallet website is electrum.org and there is no alternative to that. any other website is a scam. |

it depends on what you mean by small!
go to an exchange or visit coinmarketcap.com and see how much your "small amount" is worth. if it was a decent amount then start thinking about ways you can access it. and a full node is only one of them. you may be able to do it mush simple and faster.

So on the other hand, Node: Bitcoin ABC (Bitcoin Cash; Bcash) is stuck on Current height: 478558 from a couple of minutes after the block was mined. And there's been no blocks since.
It's going to take them 2000 blocks to get their mining difficulty adjusted? And while that's waiting, any transactions are stuck?
everything in bitcoin cash has been based on time instead of block numbers or number of blocks. the fork was on a fixed time (12:20 UTC) if i am not mistaken which is block #478558 i don't know if stuck is the right word but since the hash rate is low for BCC and the difficulty is high it takes a long time to find a block so the blockchain is staying there and BCC nodes are rejecting the new blocks mined on bitcoin chain. also their difficulty adjustment is based on time. it is after a fixed amount of time passed that they readjust the difficulty and lower it. i think it is after 6 hours with 0 blocks. and that first block MUST be over 1 MB or else it will be rejected so the BCC mempool MUST have a lot of transactions already to fill a > 1 MB block. and all this time all those transactions on BCC chain will remain in the mempool as unconfirmed and stuck or waiting. |

This is just the first of many attacks on bitcoin cash!
they have opened up the way for it too. and then asked for it themselves by going against everyone else who has ever used bitcoin!
i am waiting (with popcorn) to mostly see 2 attacks:
1. the 51% attack as soon as they reduced the difficulty and the hashrate was low enough.
2. the spam attack to fill the blocks to 8 MB and then fill the mempool and cripple the nodes

bitcoin price will continue staying in this channel, going up and down but increasing the bottom each time and testing the ATH each time it does before it breaks through and goes above the $3000.
this may take a while though, but when it breaks the $3000 resistance i'd expect the real rally to begin.

I extended the question.
Then BTC Segwit is an altcoin either? because it has few modifications too.
bitcoin is a defined cryptocurrency with a set of consensus rules that everyone using it has accepted them. any change that changes these rules will create a different version of bitcoin which is happening through a fork. if the majority accept that fork it becomes the new bitcoin if they don't it usually goes away or is worked on and improved and comes back to try again. if they go through with it, then the fork becomes an altcoin because the majority have rejected it. BCC has little support (minority) => altcoin SegWit has the majority support => bitcoin |

I think it will not fall, now it is carrying a very good value, I think it will have a stable step,...
you need to do some research before making statements like this. first thing you missed is that for the past 5 to 6 days that it was listed on an exchange the price has fallen about -30% and this is all happening while the fork has not yet happened, in other words people don't even have their free BCC tokens! |

Maybe YOU guys don't need it, because YOU are rich compared to the poor billions living mostly in Asia.
i am going to give the same answer i gave to that throwaway account: did you even read the topic! i doubt it. and just FYI, i live in a third world country and compared to those imaginary Asians in your head is much poorer  |

Good points u've made here. Thank God we don't have any problems right now in our happy bitcoin realm. That's not like without any Ddos attacks we losing half of normal users who use bitcoin for their everyday purchases, right? It's not like only people who use bitcoin network right now are speculators and miners who process money from wallet to wallet in endless circle jerk without any actual implementation of Satoshi's ideas in real life. Bitcoin is dying, people defecting, we need drastic change or blown up price will go down the pipe anyway.
let me give you an example so maybe you understand your idiotic ways: US presidential election was last year. Trump won based on majority support. many are not happy about it. what you do is like 100 Americans deciding they don't want Trump, they want Mr. X as their president. They go build a new building beside White House and put Mr. X in it and start telling 323.1 million - 100 people that fuck you for being the majority and accepting Trump, this guy that we few support is the "American Vision". |

What are u talking about at all? Who needs bitcoin if u need to wait hours on end for confirmation< there'll be no idiots to wait in coffeeshop till morning while your artificially congested like bloody toilet pipe network will spit off something. Bitcoin is dying and segwit is compared to sticking leeches to dying kranke, while he agonizing his last hours.
did you even bother to read what i said, or are you just too desperate that you felt the need to create a new throwaway account to spread bullshit here. let me rephrase it for you: you say bitcoin is shit and has a lot of problems. you are only 1 person. you are going against millions of people, aka the majority and you are forking off just because you can and have a small amount of hashrate. and that still doesn't explain why you don't make something from scratch like the rest of normal human beings. ps. love to see how your 8MB blocks are going to last under a severe spam attack for 3 years. although i doubt any spam attack happens there because of two things: not enough incentive + those who support BCC were the spammers themselves... |

My opposition is not because they are trying to hard fork
not because they are trying to increase the block size to 8 MB and open up many attack vectors.
not because they are effectively centralizing bitcoin.
not because they have the biggest scammer as their speaker.
not because they have been attacking bitcoin and trying to take over for more than 3 years.
...
these are all minor reasons.
the main reason that i am against bitcoinCash is because they are going against the majority. we voted, the nodes, the miners, the businesses, ... and got the majority on the current chain that you see and is called bitcoin.
but you could not accept and did not respect the majority's opinion and still insist on your minority hard fork.
and the worst part is you are going against "satoshi's vision", the very thing you pretend to support. which is a decentralized system that works based on consensus of the majority not what some small group of people want.
and here is a question for you:
you say your proposal is the best, you claim to be the satoshi's vision, and lots more. so why don't you make something from scratch? call it Satoshi's Vistion Coin or SVC for short.

it is actually a good time to "SELL" ETH. there was a little bit of recovery and that is a good time to sell what you have been holding or possibly bought in the dip (if you were good at trading) and wait for the real bottom to show up.

I'm not surprised, it's normal, where there's speculation there's always winners and losers so always pay attention what the risks are and what you could potentially lose.
The recent dump could be due to the factor that BCC is gaining some momentum, so some people are panic. It seems you are not reading what others are saying here. The reason you gave is what the whales wants you to believe or what you gave yourself because I can't see the relationship between the two just like saying because ETH is rising then BTC should fall?. Its purely marker manipulation and beyond that, nothing else the market will kick start itself all over again. nah, he has probably fallen for the hype and bought into BCC's fake price and has been losing money ever since he did so. just a desperate attempt, don't read too much into it |
