Here's a rundown on the wallet. Still no mention of BTC so it seems like it's no part of the wallet at all, just ETH and a few of its children. It looks more fully featured than I was expecting.

I didn't realise the people running this were still alive.

What the fuck is it with EOS? The Chinese love it dearly too. As far as I can tell it's a piece of shit database that's broken and getting more broken by the day. I really thought cryptoland would be much further ahead in terms of the alternatives it's thrown up.

If bulls are being put out of work because their offspring is being cloned in a lab, does that not constitute harm?
Cows need to unionize.

It gives them time to work on their art. I expect an explosion of culture from farm animals once the pressure is off.

Pater was a farmer. He was always having to tear his pigs away from their concertos, librettos and etchings to be slaughtered.

The cows lived here -

@gentlemand. Would you also reckon that it is also possible that many of those exchanges with fake volumes are a part of a global money laundering ring?

I don't reckon that myself. There are a million and one less obvious and lower profile ways to go about it than dicking around with crypto, let alone run an exchange. Memories are long and blockchains remember forever.
5045  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2013-03-23] 95% of Reported Bitcoin Trading Volume Is 'Fake' on: March 27, 2019, 02:11:24 AM
How do cryptocoin exchanges with fake volume earn money if they are only wash trading with themselves? Also, why are they doing this?

By faking it till you make it?

I've seen quite a few threads on here from newcomers who can't understand why that super amazing exchange that has trillions of users is literally unusable and every single order they attempt never goes through.

They can also point to their 'volume' and charge new projects a large listing fee because of that amazing userbase. The shitcoiners who pay it probably know they're paying for nothing other than bilge but again that 'volume' is going to draw in pinhead investors. It's nothingness built on nothingness but enough real dollars are milked from saps.
5046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCap faking volume on: March 27, 2019, 02:06:29 AM
But... How? If I'm not mistaken cmc does pull data from exchanges API thus these are the numbers provided and well the blame is certainly not on cmc. Big exchanges fake volume to stay relevant and attractive for arbitage, small one doesn't. Still it would surprising to see the real by any chance

They have a choice as to what they list and don't. A brain damaged rock could figure out that many of the places they list are liars posting worthless shit. Some places may bolster figures built largely by real users, but plenty of others are nothing but made up numbers on a screen.
5047  Economy / Exchanges / Re: What crypto exchange are you using? on: March 27, 2019, 12:45:03 AM
BFX has basically been a no go area for fiat for years now. You'd have to be one of their mates to have a chance of moving it in a realistic time frame and painless manner. Even then you might be dealing with one of their countless creepy offshore accounts. They've said they bank like criminals. Ducking, diving and lying.

As for me my go to exchange has become Kraken which I'm finding just fine to use. I don't dick with fiat though.
5048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCap faking volume on: March 26, 2019, 08:57:10 PM
This is the latest non Coinmarketcap site - https://openmarketcap.com

I'm not sure how it's calculated but it certainly checks out with the alts I'm familiar with. No one's going to give a shit of course.
5049  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How to test 24 words on: March 26, 2019, 05:55:07 PM
i m stucked,

One seed creates all of the private keys. You can reach all of the BTC through any HD wallet that has the seed inputted. They manage all the various addresses. You don't need to worry about them. The seed is one unique piece of information that creates a tree-like structure of addresses and private keys. Any address you see will be derived from the seed.

The only time I've needed to access an individual private key is to claim forks that weren't catered to by the wallet manufacturer. You can access all of the private keys relating to each address with the bip39 tool. It might take some time finding the key you want.

Why cut and paste the entire article from Finextra? I'd prefer a link and your own thoughts below it. A straightforward cut and paste isn't the greatest of looks for anyone.

I find it amazing that after all these years tech and finance, let alone crypto, still hasn't bothered to award valuations that have any approximation to real life.

If you were a tractor factory you'd have to be churning out hundreds of thousands of multiple ton lumps of pig iron and be making a significant profit on each one to get anywhere near that valuation. In unicorn land all you have to do is drop a few buzzy words and sod all else and the money runs into your pocket.

They don't really have a product, they're not approved yet, no one knows how ready they are, who's working for them or how much custom they'll get. Weirdorama.

21.co took $100 million and delivered a tinkered Raspberry Pi that probably cost the backers $500,000 each.
5052  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin In 2030 on: March 26, 2019, 04:47:56 PM
2030 trips to get there are unpredictable, I don't know whether I can step on that year or not. as long a bitcoin still exists we make the best use of it by adopting and continuing introduce more widely to the public

Absolutely sublime gibberish there.

How much did this account cost you?
5053  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How to test 24 words on: March 26, 2019, 04:37:09 PM
hah, this is what i want. i will try.

but how i can sure that the unique pvt key will work with my adress?

If you want to test the private key on another program then you can download this page www.bitaddress.org, put it on your offline computer, hit the 'wallet details' section and input the private keys you've extracted. It'll show you the addresses it creates.

I've never had an issue with the bip39 thing but if that puts your mind at rest go for it.
5054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CoinMarketCap faking volume on: March 26, 2019, 04:26:26 PM
Surely they're accepting faked information, not propagating it themselves. I presume they didn't care enough to bother checking how credible the places they list are until enough noise was made.

It's unfortunate how much power they've ended up with. You can tell people to shop elsewhere all you like, most can't be arsed.
5055  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin In 2030 on: March 26, 2019, 04:16:31 PM
As Satoshi himself predicted by then it'll either be ginormous or a sour memory. There's a lot of time for it to become more wonderful. There's the same amount of time for it be undermined or top itself from within.

People here often act like future dominance is already in the bag. I don't buy into that myself at all. Regardless, it's going to be one hell of a show.
5056  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-26] Bitcoin is Nothing More Than ‘Bovine Excrement’ on: March 26, 2019, 01:39:02 PM
People like this are often silly, but in the context of your regular person plenty of their points are perfectly valid. As it stands BTC is ludicrously volatile, most of the services are shit and security is a challenge most people aren't up to.

What I don't get is why they never acknowledge a future where these growing pains are dealt with.
5057  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Okex plans on launching a DEX on: March 26, 2019, 12:10:21 PM
"Its own blockchain" does not sound like the essence of what a dex should actually be. Presumably you stick with your own private keys which is definitely the main step needed. Beyond that true permissionlessness is the next one and I'll bet this isn't it.
5058  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How to test 24 words on: March 26, 2019, 12:00:57 PM
I use this on a totally offline computer - https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

It's also useful for fork season because you can extract a private key immediately from your seed rather than wait for Ledger to come up with something for the new shitfork. Obviously I only do that once BTC is gone from the private key.
5059  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Freewallet and Stellar? on: March 25, 2019, 06:03:45 PM
Hi gentlemand,

We'd summarize it like that:

- A wide choice
- Advanced security
- Convenience

We offer the most popular coins with the in-built exchange function. Several hundred tokens - and more of them are coming.
Our users enjoy multiple security features (2FA on login and transaction, PIN code, email confirmation of transactions) and convenient interface.
(And our support is indeed fast.Smiley

Um, but you can get all of that elsewhere and more and never have to trust anyone.

I'm sure you're all lovely people. Your service still does not make one shred of sense to me in the slightest in this day and age, nor should it to anyone else.

Isn't this a bit like saying 30% of the world's wealth is stored on bits of paper? Either in the form of bank notes, contracts, documents or certificates. It's an abstraction and a largely irrelevant one.

I think most will gradually realise 'blockchain' offers them nothing radical or new, and a fair bit of new grind on top. I'll believe it when I see it.
