No I don't deal with testnet. I'd rather risk my funds and learn from my mistakes...

LoyceV or potentially timelord may be able to help there (or daveF). Although it seems loyce might have closed his thread like timelord did - they may still have some testnet funds available though.

I'd expect

1. Good volume/liquidity - the page should be responsive too so orders trigger on time and can be cancelled quickly
2. A good reputation - reasonable care is put into how users funds are stored (I. E its not all in a hot wallet).
3. Fast and cheap withdrawals with just 2fa (password plus authenticator/sms)
4. Honest fee descriptions for leverage - how much you pay the market for your position every day and reasonable fees
5. If it has a good api and external charting software (like bybit and bitmex use trading view) its a lot faster and a lot more responsive that way. It makes it easier to cancel a trade if the site gets ddosed if they stillnallow trusted premium bots through... Or bots can keep pinging a request.
6. Compatibility with other platforms, can I access it on my mobile or do I have to be near a desktop pc?

Giving this another bump, should be around for at least 6 hours if anyone wants to test out the lightning network.

There's technically always a chance but it's much like signing a transaction and offers the same security.

If you have a modern computer the random nber it generates should be good enough to keep your private key secure...

Message digest, message and public key can all be released publicly and are when a transaction is signed and broadcast to the blockchain anyway.

5. It's probably better to assume it's more of a hint.

1. The peers.dat is designed to store up to a thousand peers and the other peers will be able to help the new client find the most up to date one. There's probably the initial major/trusted peers that take up the first 10 in thst spot (I assume) in order to limit such an event from occurring.

3. That data is stored into memory, the debug log doesn't include io writes because it'd probably be very similar every time and io writes to disk take a long time... (a few milliseconds afaik).

Yeah I still got them. The phone is 4.0.1, I'll have a look for it if you want them...

I was trying to look before I posted this but I've since split my tea in doing so .

Yeah. Modulo is the % maths symbol that takes the floor of the dividend based on the divisor.

So it just cuts off any of the remainder.

0.102 doesn't give you a 0.102 chip though, it gives you 0.064, 0.032, 0.004, 0.002 chips.

I don't see why we don't just appoint a panel of more high court judges.

Afaik, there are currently 13, if we increased that to 33 and got a random 20 to sit on bills (maybe with one chairman that heads the meeting) and allows the 20 justices (and whoever else wants to vote on it from the team) the opportunity to find any ammendments.. Although based on the intelligence of the people they're currently accepting into peerages, it could probably be done with 3...

Quick question, is there any data on how the sample size was tracked?

1,000 participants seems quite a small smaple size imo, they could've just got unlucky with who they picked...

You appear to have woken up after 4 months of absence from here? Why can't you send first anyway, could you not make a new account or one over tor and how will the potential contacted know the contacted got in contact with you?

Lol the capitalist agenda 🤣... They should start publishing stuff themselves and not relying on huge publishers to do it for them.


Acc the mathematicians don't make money on their books because people publish better resources for most things online...

Library's a good idea though, I'll have to check their catalog. And thanks for the link.

@Hydrogen, you light be right there.

There's a limit to how much people can pay for prescription drugs here which is generally a good thing imo as it means pharmaceuticals have to lower the cost of the medicine or provide an less effective but still productive product (charities seem to help if it's a life threatening condition afaik) .

I have a few questions on this topic, not sure if this is thread hijacking or not:

1. As someone from the UK we have free healthcare at the point of use, apparently we pay less tax than the US so I'm always curious what this money actually gets spent on?
2. How much is health insurance over there? I know private health insurance in Europe ranges from $200-$300 for a normal healthy person and on average the NHS in the UK is funded at a rate of £197 per person per month.

I'd suggest diversification at least among the major coins.

If for example in a few years, 5btc becomes worth 1 eth them you'll still have 1 eth from now...

A lot of this depends on how much risk you're willing to take and also how likely you think bitcoin is to come out on top over the years (not just in 2020).

I'm late but it's a sum of any chip value.

So it's more what you send module base chip (in this case 0.001).

Someone translated my script into java script and placed it somewhere, it'd be interesting if anyone finds it as it might be useful for other users here (I can bookmark the post then too).

It's funny, I was trying to look for if any trans people had written an autobiography and there's a load of books on them wanting equality and they all seem to be under copyright....

Like OK, but you're not getting anywhere of we all have to pay $20 to work out what's up.... Its clearly just a selling point for them...

The essentials on any node finding (clearnet or tor):
1. When you start your node for the first time, it comes with a list of trusted nodes that are expected to be run (there are also separate services to set this yourself if it doesn't happen).
2. You send this node your IP and tell it you are a node on the network
3. I think it generally starts trying to send you blocks but will also give you a tip of 'peers' which is a list of addresses you can use in order to access the network. It can send anywhere from 1 to 1000 peers for you to try to connect to (under normal rules).

For the tor stuff (Tor is The Onion Route, it's onion routing).

What occurs in onion routing is you get the same names as before but instead of IPs, you're getting the dot onion names.
With onion routing, you send encrypted packets. If you want to communicate with someone, you have the first node tell you it can get a connection through to the second node (and the rest of the nodes do the same after that) and you then send an encrypted packet with all of their keys.
If you're using TOR and tor hidden service as a website, your packet takes 6 hops (or it used to).

Your original data is encrypted ~6 times between you and the final destination, no one along the route can read what you're sending unless you own half of the hops and then you can work out who you're communicating with still.

If the forum still has patrollers then they can do this job.

Also posts that are off topic are meant to be reported by other members and can be dealt with by the moderators. If something is false and the mod doesn't know if it is false or not then it may be helpful to have someone who does but I don't know how this functions (it's likely if a member the mod knows for knowing stuff about a topic and being level headed reports it, that report will likely still get handled without the mod necessarily needing to understand it -especially if it's reported several times).

Let us know if you get stuck when it syncs back up again, it shouldn't but it might do.

In addition to what I said previously, if you have antivirus running make sure it ignores that folder otherwise it may become corrupted (some idiots decided to put harmless code in the chain that AV mistakes for something harmful).

I'd sugges if it just randomly stopped syncing:
Go to your %appdata%/local or %appdata%/roaming folder on Windows and look for bitcoin
or on Linux go to /.bitcoin.

Look in the blocks folder and rename the last block to anything (put dot bak at the end if you don't know what to call it).

And start up bitcoin core and it'll do another sync reindexing the rest of the blocks.


Otherwise, just rename the chaundtate and blocks folder and start core.
