Nice information sir, but i didn't know how to use this app. Apps or website? I searched and finding website, so i registered. Please tell me how do i work with this. Thanks you
I use Authenticator Plus... it's an android app available for download from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mufri.authenticatorplus

It works just like the Google Authenticator app, when you setup 2FA on a website, it will give you the QR Code (and the "backup key"), you use Authenticator Plus to scan the QR Code (just like you would with Google Authenticator) and it creates the same 2FA codes... the advantage of apps like Authenticator Plus, is that it gives you the option to create secure encrypted backups on local device or cloud storage which can then be restored if your device is broken/lost/wiped.

Authy has an android app as well: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy
and is also on Apple Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/authy/id494168017

I don't know about the others.

I don't think it is relevant where are they from, how much money they earn and what they abused
It isn't relevant... I was venting more than anything Tongue

It's not something new on this board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206112.0 anyway.
On the contrary, I believe it is a relatively new development.

As far as I can see, the original purpose of that thread was simply to highlight alt accounts of users... not necessarily because they were doing anything "Bad"™ or to try and get them all tagged/banned... However, the mk.2 and mk.3 versions of this initiative have now basically degenerated into a witch hunt where every post is of the form:
Quote
List of usernames
<Insert screenshot of etherscan showing transactions from "linked" address to one ETH Address>
"abusing bounties with alts"


Which brings us to:
Quote
if they are caught abusing something with alt accounts it should be pointed in reputation.
I agree... If they have actually been "caught".

Personally, I still don't believe that a bunch of ETH addresses sending tokens to one ETH address over several transactions really proves anything other than a bunch of tokens were transferred... it isn't like a Bitcoin transaction where a bunch of addresses all included as inputs in one transaction "prove" that the addresses were all controlled by the same wallet/person etc... unless my understanding of ETH is incorrect and you can actually include tokens from multiple addresses in one transaction like you can with BTC? Huh

Anyway, at some point, it seems like someone applied this (incorrect) logic to multiple ETH transactions depositing to one ETH address... and now it seems like it's considered "beyond a reasonable doubt"-type proof??!? Undecided Look at the countless posts from these supposed alt accounts claiming "we're a group of friends/family/coworkers working together"... personally, I feel that their arguments (and accompanying "proof") are just as solid as the "all these ETH addresses transferred tokens to 0xSomeEthAddress, so they're all owned by the same person" argument. As far as I can tell, no one can really say for sure one way or the other.


Does this mean that ALL of these accounts are "groups of people working together"? No... I'm sure there are people using alts.
Does that mean they should ALL be tagged, just in case? I don't think so... at least, not without some "proper" evidence.

I would like to do that,but im pretty sure that im not able to do that.Would you or someone else help me?
Why are you not able to do that? Huh You just need to type the code into the script you are using... it isn't that difficult. Just don't include the "..." which I put to show where to put the code in relation to the function dobet().

put these two lines BEFORE function dobet()
Code:
myCounter = 0
maxCount = 1000

put these lines immediately AFTER the line that says function dobet()
Code:
  myCounter = myCounter + 1
  if myCounter >= maxCount then
    resetseed()
    myCounter = 0
  end
easy! Wink

Also one silly question,one guy said that its better to have more scrips and bots than one.He says that if run same script over and over,its gonna get bust.What s..t its that,for me it sounds like BS,but gotta ask,never know Wink
If they were trying to imply that sites will figure out your script and then cheat and make you go bust... they're a conspiracy theorist idiot. There is no way that a legit, provably fair dice site can do that.

The reason you will go bust if you just play over and over... is the maths of probabilities, "expected value" and "house edge". Basically... the "house always wins".

Just FYI, another option is to use a Google Authenticator compatible app that allows backups... apps like Authy, Authenticator Plus, Duo etc...

That way, if you lose, wipe or break your device, you will be able to recover all your Google Authenticator codes easily.
4967  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: 12 word vs 24 word seeds on: December 01, 2018, 08:07:02 PM
Does anyone have the exact numbers of how much protection you get using a 24 word seed vs using the conventional default standard that shows up automatically when you create a wallet in Electrum?

It's still not clear to me that you can trust this type of wallet, that could be bruteforced and then all of your keys are compromised forever as long as you keep creating them on that wallet. It still seems safer to use a wallet.dat file. I want to see the math.
You realise that the wallet.dat system used by Bitcoin Core works pretty much the same way as an Electrum wallet when creating the wallet right? Huh Both types of wallet start by doing the exact same thing... that is, they generate a very large random number ("entropy")... this is used as the "seed". The seed is then used to create a "master private key" (aka "xprv"), from which all the child keys are then derived.

The only difference is that with the Bitcoin Core wallet.dat system, you don't get to see the seed in any form, it is hidden within the wallet file... all your backups are done by making backup copies of the wallet.dat file itself.

The BIP39 "seed mnemonic" (aka 12/24 words) is really just a "backup mechanism"... you don't pick 12 words, and generate the wallet seed from that... you generate the wallet seed (the "entropy"), then convert that to 12 words to make it easier and less error prone for users to write it down safely.

As for the difference between 12 and 24 words... for a BIP39 wallet (not Electrum)... a 12 word seed has 128 bits of Entropy (+4 bit checksum)... a 24 word seed has 256 bits of Entropy (+8 bit checksum):
The following table describes the relation between the initial entropy length (ENT), the checksum length (CS) and the length of the generated mnemonic sentence (MS) in words.

CS = ENT / 32
MS = (ENT + CS) / 11

|  ENT  | CS | ENT+CS |  MS  |
+-------+----+--------+------+
|  128  |  4 |   132  |  12  |
|  160  |  5 |   165  |  15  |
|  192  |  6 |   198  |  18  |
|  224  |  7 |   231  |  21  |
|  256  |  8 |   264  |  24  |

There have been MULTIPLE threads on the math involved in bruteforcing BIP39 seeds... start here: https://www.google.com/search?q=bip39+brute+force


As for the Electrum math... you can read it in the Electrum docs here: http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/seedphrase.html#security-implications

Apparently a 12 word Electrum seed has ~135 bits of entropy. So, theoretically, it is slightly stronger than a standard 12 word BIP39 seed.
4968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Seuntjie' Dice bot programmers mode discussion. on: December 01, 2018, 07:43:43 PM
noo,not training bot,training myself Grin
safebet 21sats in this script means it goes up and up and up...
turbo means that i stop bot and chance 21sats to 1000sats and hit start...
like i use it both automatic and manually.automatic(21sat) i watch and wait when is time to attack and then chance it to turbo(1000sat).
yeah,only i wanted to know is there any program where i can train myself...you know like samurais do Wink
Right... you seem to have missed the point of the programmer mode then... you should be able to code that sort of behaviour into your script.

It should be possible to get it to check for the conditions that you are looking for... ie. X losses in a row... and then set the bet/chance to whatever value you like... and then reset on a win etc without you needing to intervene.



what is the function for reseting seed after like 1000 bets. and where should i put it before the function dobet()? or after??
Firstly, resetseed() only works on a limited number of sites... they don't all support that functionality.

If you want it to be every 1000 bets, you would need to put it inside function dobet()... if it is before, it will only ever be run once, before the bot starts betting... The dobet() function is executed after every bet is placed and the result is returned from the betting site. You can see the "flow" here: https://steemit.com/dicebot/@seuntjie/dicebot-programmer-mode-tutorial-02-process

So, you need to create a "counter", check it after every bet... once it hits 1000 (or whatever number), you call resetseed() function (assuming your site supports it) and then set the counter back to zero... like this:
Code:
-- script setup stuff goes here --
...
myCounter = 0
maxCount = 1000
...
function dobet()
...
  myCounter = myCounter + 1
  if myCounter >= maxCount then
    resetseed()
    myCounter = 0
  end
...
  --rest of your script goes here--
...
end

It shouldn't be different with twitter or any other social media.
But that's the thing... Twitter appears to encourage exactly this sort of activity... IMO, that seems to be the entire purpose of the "retweet" button... it is builtin copy/paste functionality allowing people to mindlessly "spam" other peoples posts! Roll Eyes  Same with FB and the "share"... it encourages this sort of thing.

Do I agree with it? No... but I've been against most of this campaign activity (I also really hate the whole "Bounty" term, but that's another argument) since the "ICO per hour" days. Also, this hardcore policing of campaign rules is a bit strange... isn't that the campaign managers job? Huh Seriously, the whole board doesn't need to know that some group of Indonesians earning $2/day is "abusing campaigns with alts" or spamming retweets all over twitter... just go report them to the campaign manager.

But, honestly, I doubt you'll find many, if any, social media campaign managers who will care... I doubt the project owners will care either... they're just trying to spam their shitcoin far and wide to get as much coverage in the hope of attracting all the latecomers to whatever is left of the ICO market so they can scam as much money as possible.

4972  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how to choose a high secured wallet ?? on: December 01, 2018, 09:59:36 AM
About the only benefit that blockchain.com wallet has... is that it is "easy" and requires very little thought or responsibility. Roll Eyes Personally, I would not recommend it. They've had a history of being very buggy. They have an "in wallet" coin exchange... albeit at very poor rates.

Electrum is a lightweight, "SPV" (Simple Payment Verification) wallet... as such, it is quick... doesn't require downloading the entire blockchain, so on disk storage requirements are very low. It offers a 12 word seed mnemonic based backup system (NOT BIP39 compatiable, but similar... it can restore a BIP39 compatible seed)... it has an active dev team that are always seeking to improve the app... it supports some of the more popular hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor... it offers MultiSig functionality... it can be used in an offline/online (aka "airgapped") cold storage setup... it's multi platform (Windows, Linux, OSX and Android)... it supports pretty much every wallet address type... Legacy, P2SH SegWit and Native SegWit (bech32)... it offers a lot of flexibility and customisation of transaction fees, "coin control" features etc.

On the downside, you potentially give up some privacy as you have to connect to Electrum servers to request transaction info... also, the non BIP39 compatible backup could be problematic if you decide you want to use another app... AFAIK, no other wallets are compatible with Electrum seeds.

If you want my recommendation... Electrum.

To be honest... I have no idea what you're talking about with "safebet is 21 and turbo 1000"??!? Huh

Also... you can't "train" the bot... it isn't a learning AI. You can only program it. Or are you attempting to change settings as the bot is running? Huh
4974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoin-cli: createrawtransaction using data files as input on: December 01, 2018, 03:44:07 AM
Is it happening because the shell is interpreting all the " and ' characters in an unexpected way?... whereas with the sendrawtransaction, you are just dealing with hex chars.
4975  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Help Needed - Money Lost on: November 30, 2018, 10:32:53 PM
What colour is the dot in the bottom right corner? Is it green or red?

It seems like your Electrum is not fully synced for whatever reason. Possibly the server you are connected to is lagging. You may need to click on that coloured dot and try connecting to a different server. Blockchain value on the "overview" tab should be at least 552072.


In any case, if the transaction is showing on the block explorer as confirmed... and that the address has the funds, then your bitcoin are NOT "Lost"... it's really just your wallet is out of sync.
4976  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Where Can I Get the Cheapest Cobo Vault? on: November 30, 2018, 10:29:57 PM
I am also still unclear as to how they can promise such security since apparently you have to use an app on your smartphone to send transactions.
Because the transaction is created and signed on the completely "offline" (airgapped) cobo wallet device itself... and you only use your smartphone to scan the QR code off the cobo's screen and then broadcast the transaction. Basically the same theory as an airgapped PC generating a QR Code that you scan with a digital camera and then use online PC to broadcast.

Given that the transaction is already signed, there is no way to actually modify it on the smartphone.

Supposedly, the Cobo has no "interfaces" (ie. no usb connections, wifi, bluetooth etc) to be able to hack it... However, it does have an sdcard slot for uploading firmware... sooooooo yeah. Undecided
4977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Seuntjie' Dice bot programmers mode discussion. on: November 30, 2018, 10:15:23 PM
You can use the "simulation" mode within the bot itself... other than that, I only know of Crypto-Games.net which has "PLAY" money...

You can get PLAY money from the faucet... Although, technically it does have some value (50 PLAY = 0.00000001 BTC Tongue)

I posted the standard recovery procedure for the kind of corruption described here.  It seems to be being ignored.
I think the issue seems to be that the OP doesn't have a corrupted wallet to try to salvage... in fact, they don't seem to have any wallet due to the fact that, as shown in the youtube clip, Bitcoin Core seems to delete the "corrupted" wallet.dat. That is to say, the renamed "wallet.TIMESTAMP.bak" is just removed and a completely new wallet.dat is created in it's place.

Reading through the associated Reddit thread, it would appear that whatever "recovered" wallet files that the OP has managed to find using recovery software are not the correct wallet files.
