So if you open your wallet now, is mine still returns true?



electrum listaddresses --funded

Try the above command in your console and see what you get (found on readthedocs.io)

Some of us paid a whopping $10 for a Bluetooth keyboard... Maybe you should look into getting one, you could probably wire one up to your device for even cheaper.

I completely get where you're coming from. I personally use bluetooth keyboards too if I go out specifically to write stuff on my phone. But I assume you don't bring your bluetooth keyboard everywhere you go? I was referring more of when leaving home to do some stuff. Tongue Reddit's UI/UX is great for those "let me read and talk on r/bitcoin for a bit while waiting for my order" moments.


Oooh I've been outsmarted 🤣.
Yeah, you can't use it stood up either... Although they are really thin so you could get away with taking it everywhere and just putting it with a portable charger in a backpack..

Typing on mobile is always slower and less convenient than on computers.
I mean, it's definitely faster to type on a PC for sure, but convenience is another thing. You can type on a phone wherever you are. Take note that not every single one of us here sits in front of a computer 12 to 16 hours a day. Tongue

But yea, an app is unnecessary, but we at least need a responsive UI; which is being achieved by Epochtalk.

I, personally, wouldn't use an app unless it was a lot different. Most apps come without things like an ability to zoom into stuff and set character size preferences that I like to use.



If one is added a peer to peer messaging system would be quite nice.

I think the amount has finally arrived, you can check back now. here's what I see https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1GeZ8Vg5UZKeAVPAekbCxzKGk67QUXLHQv

It's been like that since the start, check. My post above.



@heat, try increasing the limit to 200. I think you need the wallet.store command too for it to be applied to the rest of the wallet.
4685  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: i sent bitcoin to my wallet, and the funds have never shown! on: February 13, 2020, 03:11:02 AM
Wahoo!

If it returns true that is I just found this on stack exchange:
wallet.change_gap_limit(1100)
 wallet.storage.write()

Just needs a dot write, I'm really hoping!!! (might need to reopen electrum afterwards).

Double posting isn't normally a problem. It's a fairly flexible rule if there's a legitimate purpose for it.

I'm not sure why it would be deleted but I don't think we can do anything about it here, maybe you could try contacting the owner of that thread to ask why it was deleted if you haven't already. What language was it in and what thread?
4687  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Importing addresses to wallet on: February 12, 2020, 10:06:43 PM
There aren't many for what you want. If you could program you could find a "blockchain data parser" and if you had a copy of the blockchain, that'd probably be faster.

Imo, for an actual wallet, you're better off using bitcoin core to generate your keys since you only need to backup one key... Not sure why you'd ever want millions lol. Although coming from the person who made an 8gb csv table for conversions a while ago I'll probably have to let it slide 🤣.

If I were you I wouldn't peg a sell price to the currency. You could inflate the currency in game or have a "bank" that does so but if you had the exact thing as a token that you offered people to cash out directly for dollars then you'd have to keep making sure your balance sheet will never become unbalanced...

Rather as a token (either on a smart contract or not) the players would be able to speculate on it still and sell it on an exchange either attached to the game or elsewhere... There should prjabnly be a way to allow them to pull their funds too imo and store them elsewhere such as on a nmemonic phrase they wrote down.
4689  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: multibit hd on: February 12, 2020, 09:05:06 PM
Do you get a checksum failed error I or is it fine with it?

I've been sure I've written a seed down right before when I just copied down a word that looked like one of the ones I had, it's easy to recover from though (well for me it was), is there a chance you've done that? Or have you recovered from there before.

m/0'/0 and m/0'/1 are the derivation paths you need according to stack overflow: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/40507/how-can-you-extract-private-keys-from-multibit-hd
4690  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: i sent bitcoin to my wallet, and the funds have never shown! on: February 12, 2020, 08:55:03 PM
The funds are definitely in there: https://m.btc.com/42a2ca1ff65195696929610f541f67c81520283ff76927f8a35d95c025909209
 
Go to your laptop and create a new wallet on Electrum by restoring your Mycelium seed (when inserting it, you will also need to click on Options and tick "BIP39 seed"), then selecting p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh). See if your funds show up.

He sent it to a legacy address? So hell be wanting to select that one surely?

Mycelium by default allows you to use all three derivation paths at once. Although I've seen quite a few issues with apple and mycelium recently.
4691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Importing addresses to wallet on: February 12, 2020, 07:01:14 PM
Why would you want to do this, what are you trying to achieve and are these addresses yours?

I wouldn't want to suggest using something like electrum for that as it'll clog their servers and if you acutally need the data, just leave core running. The chain sync gets slower the closer it gets to the end too so you may as well just hold off until it does as long as it was still making progress (the number was going down on the blocks remaining tally).
4692  Other / Meta / Re: Is it possible to re-create threads without permission on: February 12, 2020, 06:20:57 PM
I'd say it's fine...

Doesn't even seem like much of a question. You want to reopen a locked thread? As long as you're not plagiarising the old OP then you'll be able to open a thread.

In the OP or the first reply post just state why you made the thread, and link the reference to the old thread if you want to (it also allows for people to see if a question has already been asked in the other thread that they had without having to write a reply especially if the question/answer is trivial).

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).

My question is, what if you've made the thread but in no meantime, the OP gets back and opens it again? I think it's probably for best if you pm first the OP  then ask permission if he will allow it or even open it and you'll be the one to update it on a daily basis.
I'd say that rule is actually a little ambiguous, if the OP left, locked their thread and just left then a new thread could be created on the same board then.
I think this is to stop people from making an announcement and then a discussion thread on a load of other boards. Like a bitcoin/altcoin service posting 2 announcement, 2 discussion and just littering boards...
4693  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Your ideal crypto derrivatives exchange: name 5 most important features. on: February 12, 2020, 06:11:21 PM
I don't ever use high leverage, and mathematically it just doesn't make sense to use insanely high leverage like 100x or 200x, so the availability of very high leverage is just clickbait to reel in newbie traders IMO.

There are people who want to risk it from time to time and try with the max leverage. In the end, it all comes down to how people handle the instruments. I see many people list Reputation, but what if the exchange is new? Reputation is built with time.

I use high leverage on medium and long term positions, it just makes sense sometimes...

For example, at 9500 i bought 1BTC@10x lev (with a sl around 9400), we then went up to 9800 where I releveraged up to 25x and put the same funds back in buying 2.5BTC - making my average buy in price 9680 (think my sl was around 9700 or something)... and I followed the chart up to 10300 and my sl triggered at 10120 afauj,,, Was decent profit since I'd started. Sometimes it's nice to use 10x until you get your profits after an increase in actual price of 10-30% and then 100x some of your profits (keeping the original entry price) without risk of losing any of your original capital - especially if we're in a parabolic move and you can look back at it every 5 or 10 minutes...



Someone mentioned an app above too which is pretty good to have if the exchange offers it, I just noticed bybit do.

Also, not sure if I mentioned but I prefer perpetual contracts to the time limiting ones...
4694  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries and their own cryptocurrency! on: February 12, 2020, 05:35:19 PM
I don't know if this is a good idea or not...

A lot of the times if a country is in war with another country, they'll try to attack its currency system to make it weaker, there may be more of a way to do this if the funds are controlled by a central bank/government.



Have these currencies yet seen acceptance in shops? Other than Venezuela who were accepting dash or dollars at some point, have any other countries actually taken on board the idea of giving shops ways to accept the currency.



I'm also not sure if just inflation alone keeps the currency stable or whether counterfeit money also allows for the country's monetary system to run a little smoother (that being said inflation is actually measured by how much essential goods increase in value over time - milk, meat, bread, flour)...


A fiat cryptocurrency also might hurt banks as it means they may have less power to produce money when necessary if its stored on a public ledger.
4695  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC made a move above $10k today due to this? on: February 12, 2020, 04:33:01 PM
People waiting for dips aren't getting anywhere because the little dips are bought up so quick that all the moon boys can't do anything but see the price trend even higher. They need to buy and sit on their coins and not wait.

Yeah I'm looking for leveraged long opportunities so I wait on it, still holding the majority of my funds in different places in crypto.

My strategy on leveraging is to generally wait for a breakout, place a trade in that direction and eyeball it for a couple of hours to readjust stop losses appropriately. I get a notification of a breakout too as it happens so it seems to work.

@tp and figment: yeah but I wouldn't see it impossible for a $500 gain to be from an exchange being down. Like I mentioned before in a way there might be a possibility the bitmex average could be manipulated in favour of a certain trader. And, after reflection, what if someone saw the market was in maintenance, saw not much had happened for two hours (a decisive break) and thought they'd try to move some of the markets a bit in the time window they had... (I don't think it's completely unreasonable to use downtime as an excuse if you can see you can make a profit due to it).
4696  Economy / Speculation / Re: Scammers move 12k BTC - dump is comming? on: February 11, 2020, 09:38:56 PM
I doubt the decentralised networks are that liquid yet, they never used to be...

The hackers could send the funds somewhere and move them to an exchange that doesn't care about governments. Or they could just wait until btc starts to become more anonymous - using mimble wimble or something...
4697  Economy / Speculation / Re: Scammers move 12k BTC - dump is comming? on: February 11, 2020, 08:42:47 PM
If the coins are known to be tainted, will exchanges even accept them?

I've heard of them marking some in the past and if the exchange has been hacked and its based in Europe or the US, they'll want to keep a good relationship with the police if they've been hacked in the past (I assume)...

Not that law enforcement are ever very useful but it could be the exchanges only hope...
4698  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC made a move above $10k today due to this? on: February 11, 2020, 08:37:36 PM
I know there have been pumps that coincide within 5 minutes of coinbase going down in the padt.

But I don't know how much I'd trust that and how much people are after the excuse to keep a position more stable on bitmex. I'm not even sure it's worth it...
4699  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC made a move above $10k today due to this? on: February 11, 2020, 07:46:58 PM
Oooooo wow so it did...

Did the times coincide? I didn't think bitfinex has much of an effect on the market but maybe it did... Normally a move like that coincides with the first 5 minutes of a maintenance mode.


A lot of TA guys were suggesting we'd stay level around this point until the 21 emancaught up (I think weekly they meant).
4700  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Research paper about crypto trading on: February 11, 2020, 04:01:02 PM
Thank you for the feedback! You put liquidity on top and order control/execution. Most of the derivative platforms have time-based withdrawals 1 to 2 times per day in batches. I would like to see a derivative platform with available withdrawals on demand.

What about instruments and trading options? What would you like to see besides the six things that you pointed out?

I quite like binance margin, if they had higher margin more than 4x avaliable it'd be better though.

Yeah bybit and bitmex have time based withdrawals and they're a bit annoying. Bitmex is also hard to withdraw afaik because they send a confirmation email but don't mention it on their site anywhere once you withdraw.

Coindcx is an Indian startup one of my contacts suggested and if they had higher leverage and had been going longer (and weren't in India) they'd be pretty good... But they're alright now with small amounts.

I'd like a good choice of trading pairs per se but realistically as long as they have btc usd and a few well known alts then they're pretty good... Ltc and eth and btc are all pretty good pairs I'd expect on a lot of these exchanges.



A friendly, proactive and fast support would be pretty good too.

Also a system that is pretty robust and manipulation proof. I think coinbase has tried to adopt a system like this to make arbitrage less possible however I think things like liquidation price and some sells are better off following a market average. A second layer on a high volume market is better than a first layer on a low volume one imo...
