I think it's virtually impossible to do. Unless you buy gift cards from stores and try selling them online then you might not have much luck with this. You can use a bitcoin atm at stores in major cities in the UK if you take out the cash from a regular atm.

Following back anyone who follows me 🤣 this week only! (they do this on all other social media).

Nice bot, any plans to link it to telegram or something?

Caught me just as I got back home. Sounds like a nice day, anywhere accept lightning Grin? I've been on the hunt for a Christmas tree but am out of luck so far...


Anyway here's the invoice: valid for 6 hours.

Thanks for the bump loyce. Computers might not get much better unless they perfect quantum.

Funds sent, @timelord, I'll sort out the return in around 40 hours unless you're here before about 1800 utc.
5005  Other / Politics & Society / Re: a society question about vegans on: November 23, 2019, 01:13:28 AM
I was looking at an article recently on ferral pigs in panema and I'm not sure if anyone knows about them and if they've caused any nuisence (though I imagine they have) - there are also more cows than humans and probably more chickens and pigs.

A lot of things vegans say are just stupid anyway, they don't eat honey because it (supposedly) harms bees but somehow eat flour (because combine harvisters have anti-rodent protection now - they don't)...

Most of the time it's good to at least eat animal byproducts as you're keeping up the diversity, if you can try to go with organic options then they'll be much healthier (if they are actually organic as those animals are better at digesting some vitamins from the gound and producing vitamin D from the sun - where land is cheap you're more likely to find organic well grown animals).

And don't even get me started on fake meat... I don't want to eat a burger because I don't want to kill a cow, but here's my enthused alternative made from soil mould (the thing that means I have to throw out potatoes every month)...
5006  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: SegWit, NOMP (2nd try) on: November 23, 2019, 12:35:06 AM
As Carlton recommended, you could try mining on testnet to check your setup and wait for a block and see if it gets acceptance (e.g you get testnet balance).

On the link you posted the top comment and only reply says the following:

Quote

No, in the past year, there were only 15 non-empty-non-segwit blocks mined which account for less than 0.03% of all blocks.
Non-empty blocks without segwit transactions

So non segwit blocks and non coinbase blocks are still accepted by the network. I don't think signalling against the network does ajythingn (since afaik viabtc signal for bitcoin unlimited).

https://lightning-roulette.com/ let you withdraw for free over 0.007 but you might actually have to gamble for them to do that (not just placing 0.0035 on odd and 0.0035 on even)...

I've got about 0.001 inbound space if you want to use it (and I can send 0.001 on chain) but that's not much.

The decade figure could probably be encoded but I haven't looked into payment request format (I'll do it now).
5008  Economy / Lending / Re: Free lightning tests on: November 22, 2019, 11:44:16 PM
Shame there's no decade option, I could send you 0.0001 on the next anniversary of the forum!

A week and a month options make a lot of sense though (and a day option).. Is that on desktop (i remember it was zap from your other thread)?

(I have notify on - was scrolling through other social media lol).
5009  Economy / Lending / Re: Free lightning tests on: November 22, 2019, 11:33:16 PM
Yeah bump, am around for the next 20 hours.

Can I fill it in 12 hours time to test that it goes past 6?
5010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [NOV 2019] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: November 22, 2019, 10:09:54 PM
I'd like to know who supplies the estimates for the wallets with fee control.
I would guess it's just based on the last blocks, similar to what Bitcoin Core Recommends.

The site says:

Quote
How is the delay predicted?

The predictions are based on blockchain data of the last 3 hours, as well as the current pool of unconfirmed transactions (mempool).
First, a likely future mempool and miner behavior is predicted using Monte Carlo simulation. From the simulations, it can be seen how fast transactions with different fees are likely to be included in the upcoming blocks.
The predicted delay shown here is chosen to represent a 90% confidence interval.

I haven't tried this but if you use electrum, try setting it to be 0.5mb from tip as the fees will be lower and it should confirm within 4 blocks if you're really unlucky (if you're not in a rush use 1 sat per byte as long as its less than about 16mb from the tip it should confirm within a day).
5011  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTC sent to an unknown address. shows "unspent" on: November 22, 2019, 09:53:26 PM
Who owns the payment gateway? Can you contact them if its a third party and send them the deposit address, if it was shown they should be able to trace it. If not he might be scamming you if that was the payment address on the gateway page.

But its probably an error with the gateway engine.
5012  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: HASHNEST Discussion and Support Thread on: November 22, 2019, 08:46:59 PM
Seem to be getting the same issue here on Firefox.
The app still has me logged in though.
5013  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: BTC sent to an unknown address. shows "unspent" on: November 21, 2019, 10:20:47 PM
Does it show a negative on the transaction and is it negative the amount you meant to sent?

It could be that you've accidentally sent the funds to yourself and then it'd show - 0.00001 to account for fees (or close to that).

Can you take a screenshot of the wallet?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034070.msg45966212#msg45966212

It was this one.

Stored funds are not at risk, and never were at risk. Even if the bug had been exploited to its full extent, the theoretical damage to stored funds would have been rolled back, exactly as it was in the value overflow incident.

That makes me feel like it was a hard fork but I haven't read the thread since September 2018 so... One things certain: I've been here too long 🤣.

5015  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Soft forks on: November 21, 2019, 08:04:11 PM
This was actually done recently from a vulnerability found on the bitcoin network (wasn't social engineering though) the core devs asked a load of miners to update their software but I think bitmain still held a majority share at the time (40-55%) but if the 95% compliance is necessary this won't be enough and I assume a lot of miners reviewed the code before updating it (or we can at least hope they did). You'd probably also have to make it look like you knew what you were talking about too and probably reference the code adjustments and how they can add and compile them from source.



I reported this thread from your second post in the hope it could be split into a new topic as it'll be an interesting standalone thread.
5016  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just a little something about secure passwords. (Wallets & Online services) on: November 21, 2019, 07:55:26 PM
@GSpgh that sounds about right!

I remember my bank saying you have to pick a secure password for them to refund you if you get hacked and then limited you to 14 characters (so it wouldn't be secure or memorable because the only passwords I can remember that are like this are WiFi passwords and even then they aren't secure)...



https://youtu.be/3NjQ9b3pgIg - is a good watch, computerphile (a professor from Nottingham University) tells you how to do this with dice rolls. Or you could just use electrum to get a 12 word seed.
5017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [NOV 2019] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: November 21, 2019, 07:45:16 PM
3 sats per byte is looking like it could confirm within 2-4 blocks so I'd say 1 sat per byte would probably take about 4 hours if sent now (but it might take more).
5018  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does the future of money lie with prepayments on: November 21, 2019, 06:01:51 PM


Where I come from you pay stuff with money you have.
In the US people are too used to paying with debt. That's why it sounds new to you.
Yep on both counts.  Well, not exactly the first sentence since where I come from everyone has credit cards and tons of personal debt, but personally I don't believe in buying anything that I can't pay for with cash.  Credit cards are way too expensive to use, and the temptation is too great to do just that.  But yeah, this scheme jackg described doesn't sound unfamiliar to me at all.  And even if it's ongoing, there's nothing to stop Amazon from ending it at any time, which they'll probably do once they suck in all the new customers.

Yeah Americans definitely seem to have too much of an encouragement to spend what they don't have. There are definitely people like that here but they're much fewer.

Some of my relatives have a habit of living in interest free debt, which is nice until they start adding interest... They only have to give you a month's notice as it is. I've considered getting a credit card and spending what I have for the cashback but I'm not sure it's really worth the hassle and most intelligent people here don't care for racking up debt if they have money already (and there are popular you tubers in the US that have huge amounts of debt and seem to fantasise about it - normally with enough cash to pay of the debts too and I think most of them don't know what they're doing - since they quote the stock market making 10% returns).
5019  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Just an Idea - Buy/Sell Contract on: November 21, 2019, 05:47:13 AM
I completely forgot about checklocktime. I think coinb.in tried implementing it at some point but be careful with it if you try to use it as it's probably quite easy to get the address wrong and cause irreversible problems (especially if you set the time too high) and it'll use block time and it's a good idea to assume 9 or 8 minute blocks to protect yourself even more.
