4641  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet? on: May 04, 2016, 10:01:22 AM
I don't have any idea to buy a hardware wallet and it's not available in my place. And I had give it a try if I found more merchants in my area.

Could you share your country/continent and payment options? A couple of those vendors deliver worldwide, some accept BTC, others also accept different payment options like PP.
4642  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: leonArdo Bitcoin Paper Trading Terminal - Try it, it's free :) on: May 04, 2016, 08:49:40 AM
I'm going to try the free version at home tonight... Is the linux version 32 bit? (i'm asking because i'd like to try it on my old 32 bit laptop running opensuse 13.1, if it's 64 bit it's no use searching for the power adaptor of my old laptop Wink )
Also, are there dependancies?
4643  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet? on: May 04, 2016, 07:53:13 AM
I don't think i would buy a hardware wallet because it isn't secured enough.
That's why i don't want a hardware wallet every hacker can steal your coins and you are
not able to get them back because you don't have any warranty on your coins.

I'm sorry, but are you talking about a hardware wallet? Why wouldn't they be secure?
With a hardware wallet, your private keys are not accessible from the web, nor from a pc. They are stored on the hardware wallet itself, i think that's pretty secure. Worst thing that can happen is one of those virusses that replaces the address you want to send coins to when you copy/paste it from a mail or a website. But this risk is equally big with any kind of transaction you want to generate, so you always have to double-check.
4644  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Truncating the Blockchain on: May 03, 2016, 08:02:39 AM
Is it possible that in the future that the blockchain could be truncated and archived off? For example, are the miners still interested in transactions < block 100,000. If not why keep it on the blockchain indefinitely if it no longer computationally relevant? To cut down the size of the blockchain could it not be truncated at say block 100,000.

For personal use, you can use the prune option... when using this option, i think the blockchain is somewhere around 6-10Gb (untested by me)
4645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wallet hacked on: May 03, 2016, 08:01:26 AM
I recommend the mycelium wallet on your smartphone to keep your coins safe. Keeping coins on a computer is inherently unsafe, even if it scans clean.

I love mycelium, i have it on my android phone, but i do not completely believe it would be safer to keep your coins on your mobile compared to holding them on your PC...
IMHO, the safest place to store your coins is on a hardware wallet or correctly generated paper wallet.
4646  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet? on: May 03, 2016, 06:56:18 AM
I would not buy it till using bitcoin in our country will be same legal as cash.
I needn't evidence that I use Bitcoin or other e-currencies, while this can be used against me.
HW wallet hard to hide or destroy quickly  Roll Eyes

Which country are you from? Most countries i know off don't seem to care about bitcoin, as long as you pay taxes on your deals Smiley
4647  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Would you buy a hardware wallet? on: May 02, 2016, 12:09:08 PM
I finally gave in and bought a HW.1 just last week... I wonder how i lived without it Smiley
It keeps my private keys as safe as using a paper wallet, while i can still use it without completely sweeping it and making a new one.  Grin

I know, aren't they great!?  I couldn't believe it took me so long to finally buy one.  They are so cheap too.  It was the best bitcoin investment I have made for sure.

They're the best... I used to use an android wallet to keep pocket change, electrum to keep a couple hundred dollars worth of BTC and paper wallets to store my main funds... Paper wallets are great, but you have to keep on making them, sweeping them, trashing them,... In the end, it's a big hassle. Now, i've invested a lousy 18 bucks, and i'll never have to reboot with a live cd, unpack bitaddress, generate wallets, put them on a usb, print them, erase the usb,... Just pop in the stick, open the client and transfer  Grin
4648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Private Key lost one character on: May 02, 2016, 09:45:42 AM
The possibilities to find the missing character seems simple. It is very hard to find it correct. If you're not sure the place of the character in your private key, it may be impossible to generate the correct address.

If you read the code kn_b_y has produced, you'll see that it's not only possible, but even not that hard to do... If you're not familiar with python, i already gave a basic start on how to solve the problem with perl (altough kn_b_y's version is a lot better, it only produces valid private keys)

4650  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best bitcoin payment gateway? on: May 02, 2016, 06:52:07 AM
I found coinpayments.net very easy to work with... Their API was really clear, and they had plugins for wordpress and shopping carts.
Mind you: this was over a year ago, so other payment networks might have risen since then.
4651  Economy / Collectibles / Re: interest check: aluminum, steel, titanium cold storage cards (BIP38) on: April 29, 2016, 05:30:16 AM
Ti sounds interesting... Would like to see some sketches...
Im hoping to get some sample cards next week to demonstrate what is possible. Tere's no reason why i could not have custom engraving based on desins you provide, oterwise format will be similar to other cryptocards like the bitkee

Im quasi-fresh to BIP38 though. common sense says that this is the weak point in the chain and must be protected against bruteforce attacks, while also being able to be remembered. many services offer to destroy all records, but it is naive to think that's reason for a weak password IMO.

I think you're right on this point, BIP38 encryption is pretty strong (AFAIK), it's not  that fast to brute-force with current technology. However, i would never give my encrypted private key to somebody i didn't know... No offense, but i just wouldn't do that.
4652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Please, I need help on: April 28, 2016, 07:24:51 PM
It'll probably take a while, but since you added 12,5 satoshi's per byte, you'll still have a decent chance it'll be added to a block

At the moment, the estimation is within , on average, 25 blocks for this fee: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Offcourse, there's alway a possibility that the mempool will drop the transaction before it's included, but there's nothing you can do about it i'm afraid (unless you can convince the exchange to double spend the inputs to create a new transaction to you, but with a higher fee)
4653  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: We split profit 50/50%! ▶▶ [banned mixer] Affiliate Program ★★★★★ on: April 28, 2016, 04:23:19 PM
Some questions about your affiliate program:
I have decided to answer your question based on what is written in their website and in OP, If you visited their site and read it then you should know it already.
Quote
Can you offer some statistics to your affiliates? right now, and affiliate has no way of knowing how much traffic he sends, where the traffic comes from, if it converst, what his/her current saldo is,...

I’m your partner. How can I ensure that all referral transactions are included in a payout?

We do not store or provide the detailed information about the invited referrals and their exchanges. Our approach is based on our reputation and clients’ trust that we value a lot.

Quote
I think some promo tools are necessary, banners, standard texts,...
I agree aswell . Specially for those who will use the referral in their website.

Quote
you have a tor version of your site, will the affiliate code also work for visitors sent over tor?
I think not because the referral link you will get is not an onion, unless you can also generate a ref link in the tor version which I haven't tried yet.

Quote
what is the minimal withdrawal ammount?
0.01 BTC. The more clients you invite, the more profit you get.

Quote
will withdrawals be automatic?
Get your profit automatically – once a week, onto your bitcoin address stated at the registration

Thanks for your answers, i would still like to OP to answer the 3 out of 5 questions that were answered by jacee but not completely clear, even after his/her answer:
- the fact you will not give detailed information is clear, it does not mean, however, general statistics wouldn't come in handy. I don't care about the address that sent money, nor do i care about the country that sent the refferal... I do care about how much traffic i have sent from which url, and how much profit was generated for me
- since we both agree, i think the OP should either confirm or deny that he'll make promo materials
- can the OP confirm onion traffic won't be counted?

The other questions (minimum withdrawal and automatic withdrawal were sufficiently answered by jacee...
4654  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Multiple private keys from one wallet and CoinJoin on: April 28, 2016, 01:44:34 PM
I've been thinking about using CoinJoin, with some of the addresses that I have in one blockchain.info wallet.

If I started a CoinJoin using all the UTXO of all the addresses, would they connect to each other before reaching the rest of the UTXO? Basically, I am trying to understand if someone could link all those addresses back to me (I am not talking about what info blockchain.info holds about me).

Would it look like those keys were held by the same person? If let's say I had 5 addresses and send funds to 8 addresses, would it be easy for someone to determine where those coins came from?


Last time i used the shared coin-option in blockchain.info i did have to wait a long time because apparently, they're not adding a lot of fees to the transactions... Which is rather odd to me.
I ended up sharing inputs and outputs with about 20-30 other adressess, it was pretty good, the taint analysis didn't find anything substantial, neither did walletexplorer... I did read however that the process isn't perfect, but for me it's good enough.

4656  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone with experience on: April 28, 2016, 12:20:59 PM
Thanks can you help me with the list of coin coders or developers?

I don't think there is a pre-made list of available dev's, just open a topic [WTB] new altcoin development or  [SEEKING] altcoin dev (paying job)... Something like that might be good enough to attract some devs for your project.
4657  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone with experience on: April 28, 2016, 11:13:10 AM
Is there anyone with better experience with https://www.walletbuilders.com is the service real? what happens when i send my funds to them?
Please i need a guide, pm or post here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=983296.0

That being said: if you want to be sure you won't get ripped off (or at least, 98% sure), hire somebody from this forum and use an escrow.
Make a topic, write down every aspect of the coin you want to be created and ask for quotes.

Pick somebody that has had some positive feedback with this kind of work, and send enough funds to cover the creation process to a trusted escrow. Once the dev sends you the sourcecode, compiled wallets,... the escrow can release your funds to the dev

Hello guys dont click anything in that sites because its collecting cookies data. the site after i click using secured proxy the resul 400 collecting headers and data cookies so beware guys about this its collecting cookies data if you click they can crawl your cookies and convert it into username and password..

Seems really hard to do, usually a site cannot read cookies from a different origin (other sites cookies)

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17663749/is-it-possible-to-read-3rd-party-cookies

I'm not the owner of this particular site, nor do i know the owner or the OP. I have been on bitcointalk for a while tough, and i've seen this site in a couple discussions, but i haven't seen anybody that found malicious code on it. I don't particularly like the rules nor the gameplay of this site, so i would never send a satoshi it's way, but that doesn't mean i think it's malware.
That being said: it's not impossible for a site to be malicious, caution is always advisable when browsing the web.
4659  Economy / Gambling / Re: I Find Gambling Script on: April 28, 2016, 10:07:21 AM
It's just the (very old) fishbitfish gambling site... It has been around for a long time, and isn't infected (AFAIK).
@OP: it wouldn't be to hard to write such a script, i'm pretty sure you could find a dev to write if for you (for a nominal fee). I can even make you a quote for the scripting if you want (without design, i'm not a designer).

You should get them when clicking on Settings / Tools / Export Logs, but since it appeared, it might just have been a temporary mempool glitch, as we're still tweaking servers a bit.

I'll let you know if it ever happens again  Smiley
