Obviously, the graphics aren't amazing since it is on Paint, however it plays as though the characters are moving since I have scenes.
Ei, did you just insult MS Paint for producing crappy images? Peace Cheesy

-snip- Also if you guys have any suggestions make sure to let me know.
I would suggest you to at least purchase "Clip Studio Paint" for making the raw images or the complete animation (not an Ad, I use it personally).
It supports animation, draw frame by frame & almost all of Photoshop's features like layers; also, it's a bit stable even drawing using the mouse.

Or if you're into ease of use, you can export the files to "Adobe Illustrator" and make use of its "Puppet warp" feature to simulate movement of limbs, head, etc in each frames.
All you have to do is to make one quality image per scene and the tools will help you do the rest, there are tons of tutorials on Youtube too.

Why does it have to be crypto-related?  Huh

If your talking about wireless display being "too complex", yes it is complex, the transmitted image isn't analog unlike VGA; nor (wired) Digital that is being transferred through optimized connectors like DVI/HDMI/DP.
With wireless displays, your phone must continuously send data equals to a sixty (60) 720p-4k image every second (if 60fps) and higher for high framerate monitors and phones.

If bluetooth will be used, the data rate will be minimized to the maximum data rate of Bluetooth.
Unless you can tolerate displaying 480p images to your HD TV.

But then again, why crypto?
5383  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Trying to restore Electrum balance on: March 14, 2019, 02:45:07 AM
Theoretically, that should work... -snip-
I will work  Smiley
Even if his seed was generated by electrum and displayed as "checksum:failed" when BIP39 was selected,
the next button will still be clickable and the wallet type dialogue will be displayed.

It happens when the OP where you've posted a reply was deleted by the mod.
You didn't receive the notification because it wasn't your post that got deleted.

What was my mistake that it got deleted? Let me know, I'll try to sort it out, thanks.
Stop posting to spam threads.
5385  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: HELP EMERGENCY: ELECTRUM on: March 13, 2019, 03:55:30 AM
And you should definitely let us know if you really found a way out of these or not to recover your BTC, else we are all wasting our time here.
AlexBuckland already asked the same question in the Electrum board two-weeks ago and received enough valid suggestions and answers already.
He posted a questionable .rar archieve and deleted it as instructed by mocacinno.
So by repeating the same thread and posting it here in Beginners and Help (where there are lots of newbies),
it raised a red flag.

Here's the previous thread and the replies.
If he tries to post or PM you with the alleged "wallet.dat" and the passphrase, do not download it!

@AlexBuckland If you're legit, try installing the old versions of Electrum back when it generates electrum.dat (or any name.dat) file instead of default_wallet.
Download the old version here: download.electrum.org, switch-off your network adapter and open your copied wallet.dat (make a backup because electrum sometimes modifies the file after opening).
If successful, extract the SEED and restore it to the latest version of Electrum.

Off-topic but newbies! take note: Keep away from Velkro's links in his Signature, it's a scam!
5386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Palit GTX 1070 dual exceeds the limit that I see from MSIafterburner? on: March 13, 2019, 02:28:23 AM
Software-wise, any temperature controller doesn't actually control the temperature.
It tweaks the processes to match the max temperature setting, like slow-down the GPU-core when the temp gets too hot and normalize it if it's far from the set value.

Hardware-wise, it may have been reaching above the maximum value because of the fan, hardware issues and external temperature (or location in the room).
For example: after reaching the maximum temp it's already beyond 61%+, MSI Afterburner reduced the processes to minimum to reduce the temp but the room is too hot, core have temp issues and the fan can't efficiently cool the GPU; making it reach up to 70%.

I assume that the other rigs aren't 1070s.
5387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Help!] How to receive bitcoins (I am a beginner!) on: March 13, 2019, 02:01:06 AM
This whole donation thing smells fishy.
But anyways, try pamodlar's suggestion but install android version of electrum instead if your PC doesn't have a webcam.

In the wallet creation process (import prv keys/addresses).
When prompted to input private keys, use the "camera icon" just below the input box and scan the QR code.
After a successful scamscan, if the output starts with "1, 3 or bc1" it's an address and the donator is a scammer;
if it starts with "5, K or L" that's a private key, create a new wallet and sweep it instead so others wont be able to spend it (fingers crossed that it's a private key).
5388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed transactions on: March 12, 2019, 08:58:47 AM
So what exactly the problem with OP?
Eh, you just rephrased the first sentence of the third paragraph of my previous post Huh
Read the OP?: It is being displayed as "0/3 confirmation" in blockchain(dot)com's wallet and based on his replies, he has no idea that it was spent years ago.

As the quoted part says, he should contact the CS why is his old and spent tx are being displayed like "that". (for clarification).
Who knows, they might have spent it since they still have the control of the SEEDs and private keys, but that's quite unrealistic.

Additional questions were asked because he might be a a victim of a scam where the scammer offers a loaded fake/tempered/watch-only wallet backups or he's using a fake website URL (just some possibilities);
there could be other things that might have happened, but the problem isn't Bitcoin.
5389  Economy / Exchanges / Re: 2 more exchanges down on: March 12, 2019, 04:01:58 AM
Just one "key member" got arrested and the whole exchange got a serious issue, and based from the article, not even totally crypto-related;
if it is an exchange from my country, chances that one or two members have a questionable background is high.
Guess it's time to move some of my coins out of the local exchange where it is sitting...

Hey OP, are those suspended exchanges "famous" in their local population?
Because I haven't heard of any suspended exchange (international-media/news), guess, it's just another scammy exchange that you can find right here in this board.
5390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed transactions on: March 12, 2019, 03:19:03 AM
Weird, those transactions were "mined" a long time ago.

For example (the 1st and second txs):
Also, the address 15NgSxPvHToDCUYPrAbK3tiWhyE5czQ9Lf was last used in April 2018.

If based from the Bitcoin's network, there's no problem with the transactions (as a matter of fact, the inputs were already spent).
It's either a problem with blockchain.info (now ".com") or the wallet account/backup itself (assuming that it's an old backup).

You should contact blockchain.com's CS since they are the one who are partially in control of your funds there.
For the latter, are you the one who've created this wallet or was it sold/given to you by someone?
5391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unconfirmed transactions on: March 12, 2019, 01:31:45 AM
Which "Blockchain wallet"?
Can you tell us the full name because it looks like it's an issue with that particular service to me because transaction will not be stuck in a limbo for months.

There's no security issue with sharing TxID or Addresses, just privacy.
If you do not want to share it, at least provide more accurate info.

By the way, if it is Blockchain.info, the push Tx is only for broadcasting signed raw transactions, not an accelerator.

-snip-
Not sure if you really understood your linked source or not because there was no "1. Higher energy consumption to the mining" mentioned there.
But you got me, I've clicked the link and read the whole article just to find "more details"... Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
5393  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitpay Card ATM Withdrawals Suspended - Possibly Permanently on: March 11, 2019, 04:14:58 AM
Banks started push back big time. We noticed this too. The only way is to move as much as we can to crypto. They understand it's over for them. Especially because government is supporting blockchain use. -snip-
You're that guy/company who sells Mining equipment to Ebay, right?

Maybe a problem with Visa? Old news but if that's the case, you're not wrong.
In my country, some Exchange cash-out options for fiat have been withdrawn and one particular bank cash-out option has more downtime than usual since this issue started.

So I guess that this isn't limited to Bitpay or Paypal (in TeslaWatt's case, anything crypto related was marked as "high-risk" by PP).
5394  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Wicotiz Mastercard- To good to be true??? on: March 11, 2019, 03:44:32 AM
A MasterCard "without ID required"....
Too good to be true, if it is legit, it will be forced to subject to KYC/AML requirement anytime soon.
And you mentioned about reviews from freenom domain sites which can be mass-produced by the same team, it's already telling that this is a fraudulent marketing strategy by an unknown team.

Additionally, I've check the website's code, it's filled with "comments" and "enclosed in comment elements" which could mean that the site might be purchased from an easy to use "template" for "multiple quick-to-make" purposes.
Plus, hiding the domain's Registrant Contact info, really?

What I mean is: it's not too professional as you think (for a "Banking" company).
They should at least start an [ANN] or support thread here for clarification.
5395  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum long term viability on: March 11, 2019, 03:09:51 AM
[1] Pardon my lack of technical knowledge, but wouldn't bitcoin core be able to import any HD wallet seed generated by Electrum?  

[2] Seems like as long as bitcoin is around there will be some way of accessing your wallet.  [3] Worst case scenario you'll have to archive the last version of Electrum if the dev team gives up on it.
  • [1] No, Electrum does use BIP39 word list but it doesn't generate the SEED the same way as standard BIP39 wallets; thus, it's not compatible.
  • [2] Yes, there are tools that can be used to extract the Mater Private key or List of Private keys of Electrum's SEED like HCP's simple "hacked" version of iancoleman.io.
    Or if he picked the Paper Wallet as cold storage, it doesn't matter which wallet he's planning to use in the future as long long as it supports Sweep or Import Private key.
  • [3] If ever, I will be useful for natively exporting the keys but can't be used to send out since if the development and support had ended, "good" servers might vanish as well (but that's a far-fetched scenario).
5396  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum long term viability on: March 10, 2019, 04:45:07 AM
-snip-
Uh, mostly correct but as pooya said, public key isn't the same as the address.
I've only added "+(optional Public key)" because most paper wallets have a public key included but in reality, you only need the address' private key to spend it.
It's up to you to include it.

Next, you don't need to connect the "freshly installed xubuntu PC" to the internet to confirm the bitcoin balance.
If you really need to see it "received" to electrum, just create a new "watch-only wallet" to an online machine by either importing the whole wallet's Master Public key or your picked address.

By connecting the source wallet to the net, it can't be called a "cold storage" anymore.
Just really-really make sure that the private key and the address are the correct pair.
5397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there an app that allows you to create checksum adherent vanity addresses? on: March 10, 2019, 03:38:33 AM
Guys, I think he needs a valid address generator (even without the private key) that's why he mentioned "burner address" and "with checksum" since you can't simply create a random address.

By using Vanitygen or any optimized address generator to create "1StackBitcoinEater" (17 words, excluding "1") prefix,
it will take billions of years even with the latest GPU.

-I'll edit this if I happen to find one-
5398  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum long term viability on: March 10, 2019, 02:53:59 AM
-snip-

So what is the answer if you want to invest in bitcoins and forget about them for a couple of years without having to worry about security and updating wallets?
Paper wallets? Huh
@tezza123 Paper wallet: All you have to do is to pick one Private key and address pair from any offline-generated wallet or generate it yourself using tools/math, then discard the SEED if you picked the wallet method.
Stamp the PrvKey+Address+(optional Public key) to a durable material and keep it safe.

All you have to do to fund it is to send the Bitcoins to that address (you can monitor the balance by typing the address to any online blockexplorer).

Quote from: tezza123
When I want to buy more bitcoin would i be best to send to the same public key provided by electrum or use one of the others it provided?
Sending more than one BTC transaction to your offline storage won't pose a risk to your privacy since it wont be used for a long time or displayed online. Unless you're planning to use it frequently.
Reusing address will be an issue for a "Hot wallet" with a few "public" addresses.
5399  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Localbitcoins - this is the end? on: March 10, 2019, 02:33:58 AM
Edit: now you have the response, and now it's clear, "your friend" is the one who's caused you the problem. It is highly abnormal that both you and he became active again at the same time and he marked you as fraudulent. Definitely can't blame LBC for the freeze now with this info come to light. Good luck recovering.
That's what I said yesterday, even before OP's reply about the response.
@agagam don't your have any other method of communication to that friend of yours?
He himself forfeiting the flag is more easier than rummaging through old documents.

-snip-
bytom was surpose to be an asic only coin but gpus attacked bytom and made those early asics obsolete.  
I think I found out why is was advertised as an ASIC-only coin: Google search-> Bytom partnered with Bitmain.

Uh, in that case, GPU miners are the "bad guys" in Bytom and Bitmain's eyes.
GPU miners totally wrecked the partner in crime's scamplan Cheesy

Disclaimer: there are no strong evidence that Bitmain is secretly mining coin using their unreleased powerful ASICs.
