But.... I can't figure out through which wallet I bought them.
You dont buy ethereum with a wallet. You buy through an exchange. Unless you are talking about a wallet which has a third party integration with an exchange like the one that MEW now allows you to do.

I do have the adress and something that looks like a password... Is there any way I can acces without remebering where I made the account?
You dont need to remember where you made your account. If you go to myetherwallet.com you might be able to recover your wallet access. Have you tried reading their help documentation and FAQs?

But if it was an online wallet service then chances are pretty slim for recovery.

Forcing a merit source to merit only specific ranks is counter-productive and which is why I think such a idea would not be followed up.

A merit source's job is to go through posts and merit those that are worth their time and having something substantial to talk about. If you force them to only merit certain ranks then they would have a hard time completing their merit quota or end up diving the distribution of merit in a wrong way if the ranks being talked about start spamming meta with their "Give me merit but I dont ask for it" threads - which I am sure almost every other older member here has seen and become sick of reading.
5183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin moves like Gold? on: February 14, 2020, 07:34:34 AM
... and lack of control by the central banks or government.
Gold ETFs and all are controlled by governments to some extent. There are limitations on how much you can buy from exchanges for ETFs, I guess physical gold does not have such limitations and you meant that.

Quote
But you really can't compare a digital asset which doesn't exist in physical form with gold or any other precious metal.
Bitcoin can exist in physical form for the sake of having one. Did you know we have a "Collectibles" section in this forum where people trade minted coins which are loaded with bitcoin of certain denominations? They have a private key along with the piece so you can redeem it when you like but it is asset worth keeping for yourself and using as a mode of transaction.

However this does not differ with your argument that gold and bitcoin are not comparable - which I completely agree with.
5184  Economy / Economics / Re: Stance on bitcoin's effect towards the Global Economy on: February 14, 2020, 07:31:01 AM
People who control the economics are trying to hide the truth of recession with band-aid/short term and not actually the solution so people wouldn't notice it.
Problem is that you cannot do any such thing to prevent it from having a bad toll on the people you care about. You can save up money in the form of different assets but does that mean that those assets are not going to fall in value if there is another recession?

Quote
Indeed, Bitcoin has nothing to do with the GDP. Bitcoin is like the 0.000000000000001 x the power of 10 part of the economy. Depression will soon be there so the only choice we have to get ready with the possibility and do not save but hedge instead.
How is hedging going to help you combat recession?

I am more of the opinion that recession is a necessary evil. One cannot stop it from happening but will also have a bad effect on the people. Bitcoin though is a very small fraction like you said so having it would not really matter because during a recession even bitcoin become almost un-useable, provided you are living in a country where bitcoin usage is allowed and have used it previously in pre-recession times.
5185  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Creators of Dicing 🎲 | 40 Billion Bets | 112+ BTC Jackpot! on: February 14, 2020, 07:07:29 AM
Do you know how short of the 50 billionth bet you are? This would give people an idea of when to enter  Tongue
You can make a zero amount wager bet to see the current roll that you make still the best way is to watch the live bets rolling. They are not complete but a highlight of the highest bet numbers. That could give you a rough estimate. However hunting behind a roll means competing against the cumulative bets of the other players too which is again a huge number considering the presence of Primedice. Grin

So it comes down to luck in this case if you are looking to hit it. Still there is a forum giveaway for the people who are loyal to PD and their forum and can fill those eligibility criteria properly.
5186  Economy / Economics / Re: Countries with banks to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on: February 13, 2020, 08:50:19 AM
If banks hold crypto of their users,
You understand what we are talking about here, right? It is no different than Fiat and not sure if that is what Satoshi wanted to happen but probably thought that was inevitable in the end.

Quote
it will be similar to the online crypto exchanges we know already nothing different,
Specially the CEXs which store people's data and give it to the governments to evaluate. Banks of course do that and it will make it even more easier.

Quote
the only difference will be that these commercial FIAT banks will help to spread crypto faster to the non-crypto average person, meaning more value for bitcoin and cryptos.
That is a good thing. We will see a lot of new blood entering crypto and that means more market movements and rising stock prices of these banks. Soon enough other countries will be forced to follow suit.

If this trend continues the good effect is that bitcoin will become more popular than those country-represented shitcoins.
5187  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Uber or Airbnb running on bitcoin on: February 13, 2020, 08:44:44 AM
Now i can pay for a ride in Uber using bitcoin? If so, in which country?
No you cant. This topic is a discussion about what if they would start accepting bitcoin. Wink

I think the charges need to cut down but not freed completely, because the driver spends time and energy as well as the cost for picking you up from your place to dropping you to your desired location and so, they deserve something in return. The reason why charges have spiked is because of the mind game these companies play where they'd first build up their customer base and once they see there are enough people on the table to be looted, they move out their "expense" gun on our pockets.
Well come on now, you think the yellow taxi services did not do anything like that previously? They run a racket and now they are unhappy that someone else came up with a better idea and are now the dying breed. Still I prefer to have the AC cab for a medium to longer haul than getting burnt in a metal box with a driver who smells like a pack of low cost cigarettes.

Correct this companies knows how to play a good mind games against the public. Once there are lots of people who entertained the service surely they will adjust and bring the business to go on. They've understand how to market their business and they are good studying to bring manifestation to their benefits.
Still you have to know that this is the future. Although whether they would move to bitcoin is still a big question. Back on topic I dont think they will due to the possible dislike from other companies.
5188  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Quiet Bounty Time on: February 13, 2020, 08:38:19 AM
Few days ago few bounty projects have shown up in bounty section on this forum but not all if them are good, few ones aren't well organized, guess that's bounty manager's fault, just take your time to do research on them and pick the good ones
It is true for any day not just a few days ago. It has been ongoing since a long time now. If bounty hunters are going to depend on bounties then they are mistaken as it is very clear now. The problem lies with the hunters because they were the ones who abused the bounties at one time to get paid in bigger amounts by cheating with multiple accounts and this lead to the forced KYC thing.

It was good at one time when they would do bounties as a method of showing appreciation and support for the project. It went down from there to literally scraping away for tokens. But not all of the hunters are bad, still the ones who were honest have to suffer.
5189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: February 12, 2020, 10:48:05 AM
In a way every addiction kills that addict. Thats why they are all a type of poison and that is why people like it. However a responsible gambler, like I have previously knows his bankroll and his gambling habit. They would know how to manage their work life, personal life and the gambling habit. If they cannot do this properly then they need to seek professional help. I think every gambler should spend some time taking care of their bad habits and promise to themselves not to waste too much time and money on playing.

After all we all should help others seek the proper path in life and not shame the addicts. They can change their ways with time and they need support.
5190  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Minimizing the risk- How much possible it is? on: February 12, 2020, 10:44:39 AM
Exactly, this what everyone should focus on diverting our investment into different other potential coins and it will surely help us to make decent profits when those coin prices start increasing. We don't know when the coin prices are increasing or decreasing and everything based on the market situations.
Too much diversion is again bad. There needs to be a balance between keeping your money in the form of cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds commodities, precious metals and liquid cash. You have that and you have the opportunity to ride a wave in every market. You dont have to watch while another popular market goes up with a fist on your chin and a lopsided grin Grin

But diverting too much within the crypto sector like putting in money in too many altcoins is risky. What you need to focus on is bitcoin and keep the altcoins to a bare minimum for the long term.
5191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Exrates exchange is ascam exchange on: February 12, 2020, 10:40:23 AM
Exrates exchange took my money and didn’t let me ti withdraw because of ( suspicious activity )they said and I didn’t do any thing and banned me from telegram as well and have screenshots of everything
Please post these screenshots along with deposit transaction logs in the proper format in "Scam Accusations" section of this forum. Making a thread would not really draw any attention in case they have a representative account here, which I am not sure of.

Of course if you have broken their terms and conditions and sent money from tainted sources and have done money laundering then you are guilty here. In most cases you would have shown the pictures and not opened a thread right away without data. Calling someone a thief without proof is also not a good thing to do here.

As far as I have seen these account posting such accusations have been doing something shady and the exchange blocked them for that. But lets see what the OP has to say, or not. Roll Eyes
5192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why bounty budget is becoming too much low? on: February 12, 2020, 10:37:31 AM
Nowadays good bounties are very rare but when a good bounty campaign comes, their bounty budget is very low. When we are used to with 200K,300k to 1M USD allocated bounty, now we are seeing only 10K, 15K USD worth bounty. Do you think this situation will be changed? Or good time of bounty has ended?
Where are you getting such metrics? Please show any bounty with a 1M USD bounty budget that has been successful in the past. There were big ones but that is too much.

A reduction is bounty reward allocation may not always be indication that the marketing of the project in the form of bounty has been poor from other projects. In a way it does indicate but it is not conclusive. However do no let these ideas cloud your mind. One should not depend on bounty earnings to be lasting forever. The analysts who do the marketing of these projects have seen that the forum generates very little conversion ratio due to the massive amount of bot accounts in social media.
5193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Halving: What is it? on: February 11, 2020, 07:48:58 AM
I am looking best answer could explain what is bitcoin halving, what feature of bitcoin halving and why many investor waiting for with bitcoin halving time, what happen usually when halving time of bitcoin, will touch on higher price or bitcoin increase with limited supply volume transaction on the exchange or market.
I hope you do not read the OP's post, because that is just to gain attention but does not explain the thing properly.

The miners get rewarded for the blocks they mine called the block subsidy. Every few years the block subsidy is "halved" and this is known as halving.

The idea behind this is that with every halving the amount that is dumped over by the miners on the open market is reduced thereby reducing the chances that they can generate huge dumps keeping the economy of bitcoin stable when compared to the demand or buying pressure.

Now everyone looks forward to the halving as a bullish event. Personally I have seen too much speculation about this and it can be both a bullish or a bearish event.

Main point is that if you are looking to sell, do so and the buy back at lower price. Forget about the halving but be cautious to not trade in the few weeks before and after the halving.
5194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What will be the Faith of Casino business owners? on: February 11, 2020, 07:42:07 AM
Casinos are already banned in several places, in particular in countries where people have limited freedom, such as communist and authoritarian government countries.
But some countries want the tax that these casinos generate and thus allow them to flourish. Censorship is not healthy thing to do here specially when humans tend to take risks with money. Still there needs to be a balance and allowing people to take responsibilities will only bring in backlash from other political parties, like it is in the US. Trump owns casinos in Vegas while others envy it.

Quote
Either way, Bitcoin and most other cryptos (or all?) are not considered money, hence there's nothing to gamble.
This is another topic of discussion. It is the local government's decision which is considered.

Quote
I believe that most casinos will have no problem staying in operation even if such a law passes, since they can simply cost elsewhere.
Casino businesses will just move to other countries and operate under a new name.
5195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins Bounty Hunters are almost alone! on: February 11, 2020, 07:38:19 AM
Altcoin bounty hunters aren't going to co-operate because I've raised such thought in the past, new bounty hunters most especially don't care what they get or how they are been treated by developers and bad bounty managers, some bounty hunters are even ready to work for weeks and get pennies like 10$ in return, seem big in their eye
Even 10$ is an exaggeration. Bounty tokens are nothing more than shitcoins. But when we have a bunch of users in this forum willing to get down to their knees and beg with open palms for these shitdrops then nothing can be done about them. They are not even in this section of the forum which is of discussion of services and probably most of them are not even literate enough to read these posts.

So it is of no use trying to make them stop. They have to stop by their free will.

This is not always the case with bounties, sometimes the project that was never listed on exchange will be the one to pay good rewards to bounty hunters and some times listed bounty projects will only share a penny of rewards among bounty hunters, you gotta take the risks
Both those scenarios are ending up the same way. Selling the coins which are worth nothing yeilds zero coins for the hunter and not having anywhere to sell is also zero coins. There is no risk/reward talk here. It is a complete scam, so to speak.
5196  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: My Electrum wallet just got hacked for $35k+ on: February 11, 2020, 07:28:01 AM
Someone hacked into my computer went through my notes and found the seed?
It is unsafe to store your wallet private key in a note taking software that can be logged from other devices in case someone gets access to your login credentials there. Sorry to say that if you are looking to store money in crytpocurrencies you should not store the keys in such notebooks. It is important that you also keep your devices clean of malware which could also be the source of data leak to hackers.

There is no much legal approach that you can take here unless you are living in some place where cryptocurrency is understood by the authorities. Still you can approach your cybercrime department but I doubt it would go anywhere.
5197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Use of Altcoin. Do you know any altcoin that has so much potential as use case? on: February 10, 2020, 07:17:16 AM
If altcoins have no potential why are they on top ranked lists?
Top "ranks" are based on some metric. Look carefully and you will find it in the charts. It is going to be some price of every altcoin is you stack them all against another and they will get a rank there. That rank does not have any other subjective propagation. It is just a number in the list. No reason for that to have a potential use case.

Take for example BSV and other forked coins like ETC. They were made out of community demands. But are they of any use? Nope. But Why?

Because it is difficult and painful to make people accept and afford something that is difficult for them to understand. Crypto is not every person's cake. Most people cant understand how it works and it is a tough to make them understand.
5198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What p2p games will you play? on: February 10, 2020, 07:11:34 AM
If you have noticed recently there was promotion about the P2P betting site related to binary trading (-snip-) it was stopped already and I guess only few are playing against each other. I have not see other p2p gambling sites but what sort of games do you think will work for p2p that you think you will play?
Well if that was binary trading, taking your word for it because I dont visit these sites at all, then it is not a P2P game. It is a another Market Vs Player game where you bet on the movements of a certain asset like bitcoin and predict its movements. It is basically another type of EV- gambling and is not comparable to the EV+ games out there like Poker and sports betting.

Point is that there is enough suspicion regarding these binary trading and options things to point them to be borderline scams. I am yet to find any honest person claiming that they made money from them unless they are getting paid to promote them.

We all have suffered losses in 2018 and 2019! But, finally 2020 comes with a ray of hope for Bitcoin holders!
How do you generalize the fact that everyone has suffered losses when you yourself claim to have made profit?  Roll Eyes

Quote
I already made a cool 3x from Jan 2020 through Binance and Bitmex.
Sure leverage trading is a good way to make money so what is the point? You are risking money to do a leverage trade and gambling on what a position for bitcoin to touch within a certain time frame. It is no different from gambling like a addicted dice roller. If someone is willing to make money from trading then they would go for spot trading and not leverage unless they have been doing it for a long time.

Stop trying to do shady business here luring noobs into PMing you when you try to sell them bullshit trading signals.
5200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: StepChain on: February 10, 2020, 07:03:54 AM
Bounty campaign for StepChain has completed long ago. Buy why bounty hunters are still posting their posts now? Is it still continuing? Reply admin?
You should ask this to the admins directly on their telegram groups if you are looking to get an answer. The campaign might be going on behind the scenes or the bounty hunters are not reading, I will not go directly to the second option and make them look bad because that is what bounty hunters are good at : Not reading rules and topic updates. There is a possibility that the campaign is still giving out some incentives.

I dont think the bounty managers check other sections of the forum like this one so you probably would not get a straight answer except if a hunter themselves posts about it. Which is again rare because hunters also spam the forum instead of reading the topics in other sections.
