I think they've been winding down for a while...

I don't know how Asia are going to do for them either, brics don't look like the best investment for stability but at least we're getting rid of them from our soil...

All most companies seem to do these days (especially banks) are to either have an inner circle of people they give good rates to and charge the rest a really high interest rate that's unreasonable for them to charge in these times... There was a stated rise in decentralised finance and there's no wonder when banks can set personal loans at 20+% and even payday loans are capped at 8 and defi is less than 7 (but can be close to zero)...

I think the euro has lost some trust and stability by sending its interest rates down into the negative so it'll be interesting to see how that recovers but another bank will replace HSBC I don't think anyone was particularly attached to them or cared how well they did...

Prevention is better than cure.

Remember with bitfinex lost 33% of its cryptocurrency reserves? It's only done that once, are they still secure?


I see both of those ideologies as being equal, a company shouldn't have the opportunity to lose your funds especially in this space and if they do that's your problem most of the time as per their terms and conditions.

It's advisable just to not clock links and remember the official site is ChipMixer.com I think it's hard to get that I on android with the tail but it might be harder to avoid on apple depending on how they do it.

I'm surprised they're even allowed as domain characters, surely someone would've thought that's a problem...?

What do you mean?

You'd create an account, read the terms, log in and deposit and then start trading?

It'll depend on what platform you use as to whether those funds will be immediately converted into usd or whether they'll be held in btc until you open a trade and then have to convert it first.

Have no idea how ethereum works but I had to use dai and I just use 1 gwei every time I want to send something... Seems to confirm within an hour and I don't care about fast transactions so...

Yeah I'm not saying now, just at some point..
Banks often give uncolaterakised and unbacked ones too.

But, say I put up 1BTC and borrowed £8000 to buy a second then I should easily be able to pay off the loan as long there isn't a huge crash. I saw a daily candle spike upwards by 40%, I don't think downtrend are generally as volatile afaik.

What country are you in? Therell be a divide between the US and everywhere else.

Etoro are one in Europe for example, they allow conversion and then usage I'm not sure if they allow direct usage and they're one of those companies that'll keep trying to call you until you block their number (or answer them) ...

No the miners and pools are conti uously in contact. Probanly at least every minute if not faster contact to receive "work" and the current block height and transactions.

The pools are generally the ones to publish transactions (in every case other than solomining).

Pools servers are generally hard to break into and normally have a backup. I think they've become intelligent enough to host the stratum protocol and the full nodes on the same server and leave everything else to another server as the Web servers seem to get compromised much more easily. They also probably get backed up by dynamic cloud services like aws or azure.

There is a fixed suppply of both on earth - supply with gold is generally based on the rate it is mined but doesn't dramaticlaly change. With bitcoin, we know there will only be 21 million coins under current protocol and the inflation rate will reduce by half every 4 years so it has more predictible inflation rates than gold but both inflation rates are faily slow to change.

Both are valued by people and can be considered as money since both can be broken down into smaller increments of themselves. I think bitcoin goes as low as thimpto btc on the lightning network (or it might be pico it was still pretty small) and if you want your 100g gold bar to be 2 50 g you can exchange it for like in the smaller quantity or melt it down yourself.

I recently came across this idea as it looks like sites like bybit and bitmex charge about $18 a day in "interest" on leveraged positions and if you're able to check the charts every 8 hours or so then could it make more sense to take out a loan in order to leverage your position higher. If you split funds between bitcoin and traditional investments (such as stocks) or made it so your term was long enough to onlly be ~$50-$100 a month, would it be reasonable to use that raather than leverage trading platforms or does it remove the isolation factor too much and mean you might risk more than you could afford to lose?

How far can a 16 hour candle move? I don't know what the biggest move we've seen is but if we assume that's the longest you'd have to stay away from your funds then we can also assume your funds shouldn't see too much of a crash in this time (i.e time between you sleep or even checking your messages once in the morning and once in the evening - since you can easily set alerts on cointracking apps)...

You can also use multiple apps and most phones retain data connectivity pretty well so if you have coinbase and binance for example then you should get a good idea as to where a coin is at.

It'd be better to just say they can't move it back rather than they can't' move it at all.

Sometimes if I make a topic in development and technical and it gets moved to off-topic or altcoin discussion, I'd rather change that and move it to serious.

Equally, what if I wanted to move a topic to archival? Would I have to request a mods attention in all of these circumstances?

That's still not possible to do with a strong enough password, perhaps this video from computerphile may be helpful: https://youtu.be/3NjQ9b3pgIg

Also, I thought they did something to fix the voltage a while ago or was that with ledgers same vulnerability?

Wow that's good for namesilo's image, how long did it take them to get back to you?

Yeah, that'll be bitcoin core.

You can pick up a copy of it here: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/

I thought you'd ddos the router and not the machine? Unless you can find a port on the same machine thst is more vulnerable to attacks...

Not sure if we've moses on from accelerated denial of service (using timeservera) as that flaw may have been patched or there might have been something more efficient.

I think the reason people aren't using DoS attacks more is because they're not very worthwhile. Especially since most people can get a new ip pretty quickly too or can push their node through a different network.

I think I just need to assure you that this gang doesn't exist...

hm: me, timelord, daveF and jet cash didn't make the cut for any of them... interesting. I think Jetty not being part of one is my doing .

We had knowledge socialism but a few of those members left us...

Last time I checked the ratio was 4.9:1
Edit: now 4.6:1
Based on what concerns most of the girls round here, I'm guessing they're all living in asia, don't think I'd even find 1 in 5 girls interested (without suggestion).

Tell 'em genders are the inverse of a normal distribution.
A 'V' shape if you will on a graph.


We survived a bubble burst and a load of spam that was going on around then with a load of newbies... A refined community is a closer one: roll on 2021 .

I think they go after the nodes used for more.. The last DDoS afaik was electrum, so that was specific to nodes hosting their servers.

If you run a node, you're only one in eleven thousand so there's a chance you might not ever be DDoSed (especially if the network keeps growing and you don't stand out much).

I found this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/7e7lph/coinminercom_is_a_scam_or_not/

Norton claim there's a virus called coin miner which could just be an unlucky coincidence although since there's a company that makes miners called coinmine it might be likely coinminer is a scam.

Quite interesting, so you think we're going to plateau (for a while) from here or see a pump upwards before any sort of sells start to happen? A possibility probably all to likely, it's like being back at 6k again or when we hit 10k last time and shot up to 14 before recorrecting.

There's a lot of hype already in the space in a lot of places, so it's best to forewarn people before they go making the same mistakes that have been made by many in the past. Even experience traders can fall back into a trap of going after profits and risking it all rather than reevaluating where they are...
