I'd suggest you take a look at and maybe try to test the lightning network of bitcoin to see how it works as it means you can send a transaction that confirms in a second...

We also have omni which afaik is the smart contract solution for bitcoins blockchain.
5382  Economy / Economics / Re: On Bitcoin and old-timers on: August 01, 2019, 05:56:11 PM
The issue with old timers as you call them is it's like them with the Internet in general. I've had elderly relatives ask me to repeatedly return their tvs because they keep deleting channels for example.

Really, bitcoin isn't for those who are easy to scam, but a way to stop being easy to scam is to educate yourself a bit more (and not in bitcoin but in general)...

I came to bitcoin from a purely achidemic point, I wanted to know how it ticked but the first couple of transactions I remember making was just having fun back in the start of 2015... I had no care for what it'd one day be worth and was rather happy just fiddling with it (as most should do when they make an investment here, set aside 0.001 or something just to flip on stuff and test the system).



There are 3 main types of investors

1. Savers - the bank is where I keep my money, it earns me enough a year without really doing anything.
2. Dividend investors - while I like the idea that my entire portfolio increases in value, I always like that I can earn it back at the same time over the course of 20-30 years.
3. The storage investor - I get no dividends from my investment, but I'm happy to speculate on it (these are the people who are in bitcoin, precious metals...) They don't care to see that they don't get dividend because these assets don't do too badly on their own...

I think it's a very good idea for setting buy and sell orders.  Buy at the lowest point and set some sell orders for 15%, 30% or whatever and leave some out in case it goes 2x, 3x or more.

If a coin has risen well before then I wouldn't use a straight sell at a low percent.

You could put in a sell as a high percent in a low value coin you expect to go higher and then a stop loss at a low percent once its started to go higher.

These scams aren't limited to PMs. Sometimes channels and group chats on telegram can have phishing links on them too.

Do you have any idea where these people got yoru telegram username from (that might be more interesting to warn people with)?
5385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Best Symbol For The Satoshi on: July 31, 2019, 08:21:23 PM
mBTC, μBTC? Alternative for the latter is just uBTC Smiley

The key part of why there's no prefix for satoshi is that the closest one would be nano (10-9) whereas you would need to do 10nBTC, kind of ugly. Maybe a better answer is XnBTC (using roman numeral)?

My point is, we had btc and then used the BTC symbol? Even something for a nano bitcoin symbol would be good. Or a ubtc symbol.

The lightning network seems to use 10^-10 btc also as its base unit...
5386  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Help needed to spend from paper wallet on: July 31, 2019, 08:06:51 PM
Which wallet are you using?
I'd recommend making a new paper wallet and sending the remainder of your funds to that.

Can you not buy 0.0007 btc instead so you don't have to risk your 0.7?
5387  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: 18.0 stops working after Windows 10 update on: July 31, 2019, 07:58:40 PM
You could try downgrading or waiting for another update. You might be better off booting Linux and Windows as previously said.

Can you share the end of your debug log, does anything happen in it?

Is there also a code in the error like 0x06abf247?
5388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Best Symbol For The Satoshi on: July 31, 2019, 07:38:02 PM
The instant we create another symbol we will begin to constantly change the symbol like Fiat where each president and his political party change when they don't like the symbol that the old political party that was in government created. This current symbol is very good and doesn't need to change, it represents bitcoin very well

I was quite young when I started with this but do you not remember putting things in terms of 0.00000001 got extremely confusing.

Maybe a symbol for mbtc or microbtc would be interesting since a few microbtc are worth cents now...

Surely this idea justeans people will be buying cars in parts rather than the full car or doing something different but like that...

Today, I'll buy the bonnet of the car, tomorrow tgw wheels and the frame and then the furnishings. Each $9999.99.

Also this probably means that you can g wet a great discount on something being sold for $11000 😂.



It is a nice win for crypto. Maybe they should make drugs seem more expensive too. A lot of common illegal drugs can be bought for half a daily food budget in this country... I think a weed joint costs about £5 here (not that I've ever actually taken it but I seem to be one of the few who haven't).
5390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is diversifying into the biggest winners a good idea? on: July 31, 2019, 01:32:24 PM
How long do you plan to execute this strategy?

The first one will end shortly at the bottom. I'll pull 0.1 off one of my exchange accounts and see if I can replicate the profits so far.

I'll wait for that 0.1 to become 0.11 or maybe 0.12 and then pull it off. These coins aren't greatly volatile but they van change by that much and have done twice with the 0.01..

Sure it can work out to take small profits but what can gain quick heights can plumb even harder so monitoring will be key. Curious what kind of volumes those coins have you picked on the daily chart.

Since we're not in altseason, the 10 gainers included a few loss coins too however one of those coins was augur. Fantom was also one of the coins I picked up with tnt and ren (and a couple of others).

@gentlemand, that $500 million spike looks really weird (around 1/1/18)... Must have been when a lot of people pulled out as their money hasn't returned to this market yet (since we aren't at $20k).

I've had 20 sats per byte confirm quickly so it's quite nice at the moment (we probably won't see one of those spikes again for a while).
5392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is diversifying into the biggest winners a good idea? on: July 30, 2019, 05:14:36 PM
@fiulpro, I'm not after 3x or 4, a 1% profit is still a profit. 1% of 1btc isn't bad for a few hours fiddling... If I did more research and put something on some coins that were going to do well it might make 20%... I don't see why people are after doing anything other than making things interesting. Fiat currencies don't follow bitcoin as well as alts do and putting money in the bank just devalues it (since the interest is lower than inflation).

@asajapheth, can binance list the highest volumes too? You'd have to cross rqference the volume with the chart and the rsi to check its not likely that the volume is because its dropping but that is something I've heard before. The 10 altcoins is generally because I was without the choice of what I wanted to test to try to make something on...

@dothebeats, yeah it is risky to pick those coins randomly and I did put more into a coin I'd previously heard of (but not much more) so that may have swung it. I was also interested in if any of the coins got delisted, I was expecting one or two might but that doesn't seem to have happened. The highest coin I put into was 19.8% daily increase which was quite huge but it was only $10 so I thought I'd try it and see how it came out and I don't think that one has fallen so much...
5393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Is diversifying into the biggest winners a good idea? on: July 30, 2019, 04:05:59 PM
I threw ~$100 into the 10 highest gainer coins on binance (not sure what the time pera mete was).

Anyway after doing this, the value has fluctuated between ~8-12mbtc, is this a good way to get a feel for the market and use as a fairly stable investment or did I just get lucky. This would obviously be done for a short term and you'd only ever put in when it reached the 8mbtc mark again (or at least sub 9).

I'm wondering if I ended up getting lucky on this or whether it will actually function as an investment idea, these coins seem pretty stable short term and don't seem to move by much? I knowforex sites list the biggest gainers and losers but I'm not sure if that's just a plot to say you can earn 3% in a day...
5394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Operating Online Casino -- Need License? on: July 29, 2019, 11:58:48 PM
Whether you need a licence depends on the country you are in and who you want to serve. Most countries internationally accept remote gambling while others don't but I'm not sure they can do much about it.

You might also have to check with the person who hosts your server to check if they are happy with your running a casino through their services...
5395  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin To $55,000 By May 2020, CNBC’s Joe Kernen Hints on: July 29, 2019, 11:53:11 PM
When someone gives a statement related to the growth of bitcoin it is a must to understand whether his previous predictions have at least come closer.

A lot of these "predictions" are coming from people that need/want the coin to go up and have a lot of holdings, they're not so often from random spaces anymore...

As they mention the block halving, that does nomrally have an impact, however, if everyone expects the impact, it might have already happened or might take longer to happen.
5396  Other / Meta / Re: On BitcoinTalk it's okay create Scam Accusations without any proofs? on: July 28, 2019, 12:23:43 AM
So you're just going to spam the same thing over and over until someone listens to you?

If you don't want to be here, no one's forcing you. Anyone can produce an accusation without truth. Trust flags should have some truth from them though. No one hnds out a negative without enough of a belief you're scamming. The admin are the only ones able to remove trust but they'll rarely intervene unless you cna prove the trust is inaccurate.



The flag is for over moderation and making a self moderated Ann thread clearly:
I supported the flag because you left me with no choice.
You just did what 99.9% of the scammers do here... Hide behind a self-moderated thread and delete a reply when asked about the legitimacy of their project/site.
If your gambling site is something genuine, then you would have been transparent and answered what i asked you. It's quite simple.
5397  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to import 2-of-3 multi-sig keys to Electrum wallet? on: July 27, 2019, 12:29:09 AM
What is the exact problem?

Have you gone to make a new wallet, multisig wallet.

Then set the 2 of 3 on the sliders and import the xprivs? Have you tried this, what happens after that. (you only need to import two xpriv and one xpub)...

If not, try importing the private keys individually.
5398  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: HASHNEST Discussion and Support Thread on: July 26, 2019, 07:09:04 AM

We are on our own this time!  Sad Fixing this is quite complex as we do not just fix the data transmission and remove that’s given extra. We will to roll back everything to the past week and run the correct data again. Hashnest is a small but very functional team now, so we thank everyone for being patient with us.

Yeah it's always been a pretty small team... Bit of a shame you can't get more people from antpool though I guess it shouldn't be too much of a problem to be solvable within a week and allow withdrawals again.

Let us know when the rewind is over and successful?
5399  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Can my account get too big for a trezor to store or will it just slow down? on: July 25, 2019, 10:46:07 PM
Ahh thanks. I'm hoping the device will have enough ram for signing. I often use mycelium so it loads itself, the Web wallet is slower but I'm used to procrastinating while thinks are loading by now...

The current unsigned transaction is at about 19kb and will cost 42p to send at 1 sat per byte (and should confirm within 1 day, 4 hours and 42 minutes) so as long as the transaction can be signed then great...
5400  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Can my account get too big for a trezor to store or will it just slow down? on: July 25, 2019, 08:11:01 PM
I've been having mining payments paid into my Trezor for convenience, I normally plug it into my phone but decided to plug it into my laptop and it says:
Quote
Your account is too big.
Your Trezor might take longer to load or sign transactions.

I may plan on getting funds sent to another wallet if this is a problem and send funds in packets of a certain amount of BTC across but I'm wondering if it's just signing speed that gets changed? There are 15 private keys for account 1 and 3 for account two, I think I've received about 80-90 transactions though to the first account which might be the issue.



The transactions are huge because they come from a big mining pool but I don't think that should affect anything?
