5441  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Where is the bios chip on a Sapphire RX550 Pulse 2GB? on: August 21, 2018, 10:26:30 AM
Already tried before to make posts, I make multiple research before to make it. And that's not work. Please do not judge before and read each lines of my post Smiley
adaseb didn't judge you, he simply said that "He forgot the link and he didn't have the time to look for it again, just search it yourself using the keyword in his reply".
Anyways, here, I've done what he instructed which brought me to this link: bricked-your-rx-480-due-to-bad-flash
Different models, same brands but both have the same Bios chip.

The Bios chip that you're asking where was included in the instruction as well.

It has the same label as smilodon said:
It's the one on the bottom right screw with the 8 pins.

If re-flashing didn't help, the problem might be something else.

Creating a "blockchain" for the sake of having it called a "blockchain" is moronic.
Yes Proof of Work is the major security feature and must be the basis of the technology's name but in terms of digital currency, the process of "creating blockchain" and the nodes where the "blockchain" was being stored are working together to provide the "advertised" security.
POW creates blockchain, nodes are hodling/verifying blockchain; blockchain is still a logical choice of term. (one more time: blockchain)

That's just terminology, it still depends on how people define "blockchain".
In applications other than crypto, IMO, they can call it whatever they want.

I mean, you could make a distributed secure database that doesn't need blockchain right?
There's only one way I can answer this: It's an option, not really necessary to all things that require security.

Lock this up please.
You can lock this thread yourself using the "lock" button (Lower-left hand of the screen). You can also unlock this using the same button if you need to.

So that’s Bitcoin mining in a nutshell. It’s called mining because of the fact that this process helps “mine” new Bitcoins from the system.

LoL, where did this came from? That's not even the topic here.
5444  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin ETF Won’t Get Approved on: August 21, 2018, 06:01:04 AM
what is etf i dont know about that
I don't know about what the hell is ETF. Can anyone tell me what is ETF and why did most of the people sells btc once it got approved?
Too lazy to do a google search?: Google.com:ETF

if SEC not approving ETF was a sure thing then there could not be a drop by the time they reject it. a drop or a sell off happens when people didn't expect something bad to happen, but if they start expecting it to happen then they would sell sooner than the actual incident and by the time the "incident" happens there is nothing left to sell and there will be only buys rising the price.
The latter usually happens during a bearish market. During a Bull run, we can only expect a correction.
But the real sell-off driver here are the trader's fear of Authorities' intervention fueled by FUDs throughout the internet.
We can't really tell what will be the majority's reaction once it happen but, history can tell.

@nicktalman93 Does this (Article intro with a link) significantly increases that blogsite's traffic? 'Cause I'm seeing a lot of this type of thread here in the Speculation Board.
5445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Baikal giant is down on: August 20, 2018, 10:51:36 AM
I have no idea with Baikal ASICs, but the "miner down" should came with another info like "error connecting" or others.
There are tons of issues that could be the cause of the problem, have you tried contacting their customer support?

For Example: "Miner down" - Miner: 111 Connection refused means that the mining pool is closed or did not exist.

Anyhow, if you already have this model, you could potentially switch to mining other CryptoNight coins. I'm sure there are coins that are still running the old algo, like Electroneum for example.
Electroneum (ETN) already had a hardfork which changed its POW algorithm a few months ago.
All that's left are typical shitcoins which didn't really care of Cryptonight Algo's real goal, mostly scam coins.

Since the txs can hang in the mempool for quite some time, it's not really an option to wait till it's included in a block for real
If you pay a higher fee, it would be confirmed soon. You can't exactly check them manually I guess. Also why don't  you wait for confirmations?
His team might be aiming for instant payment system that doesn't require a 3rd-party API or exchange-like system.

Depending on your business model and preferences, it's quite possible using Bob's interesting and promising concept.
You must also consider mandatory requirements to the invoice page like transaction fee that was suggested by something like a bot/program that can accurately compute the current recommended tx fee. If the buyer didn't sent the tx with that fee, notify him that he will have to wait for confirmation(s).

Another, if he's in the actual location (in coffee and pizza cases), quite simple, you can safely accept unconfirmed transactions on the counter.
The person's there, so why not?

Note that this requires the miner to be honest and NOT to cooperate with the malicious customer.

5447  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin Solo Mining without mining Hardware! (how to) on: August 20, 2018, 05:04:06 AM
Is this more profitable because you get to skip paying the "pool fee" which is only 1-2% depending on the commerically available big pools (like Nanopool for example)?
This makes sense since solo mining is only available when you have a full node (non existing~ Bitch-coin node for example) and have the hardware to solo mine. Hashrate Renting services can only point to pools, not to a specific node.
This is kinda silly but old, I would like to mention that there are couple of newer threads here in the forum that "teaches" the same method.

I guess that the reason you're bringing this up is to say: "I did it first"  Wink

P.S: I would like to see a new Altcoin: Bitch-coin, name sounds promising.
5448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help me Install Bitcoind for a fee on: August 19, 2018, 01:52:13 PM
Even if its a trusted member, i don't think OP should give full access to his server.
Installing core and setting up the daemon can be accomplished without giving direct access to anyone. The risks would be too high.
Well, as I mentioned, it's up to him.
But Trust Rating is something that can strongly label a member "trustworthy", why do we even let escrow services hodl thousands or hundred of Dollars in their wallets in the first place?

There might be a reason why Mr.tome needed to hire someone, if that's the case, my suggestion is valid.
If he chose someone without integrity, it's plainly his fault and clearly not what I've suggested.

Again, it's up to him.

I can't think of a single case where it would be urgent for a newbie to install bitcoind on a hosted server without having the time to read and follow a guide for 15-20 minutes.
A busy teamleader who got his hands full of workload because he didn't have a team to begin with, looking for a cheap way to have his own node without troubling himself on getting funds to buy the costly hardware.
Where am I? Uh, also, the teamleader is actually just a front-end developer.

I'm not saying that this is the case in the OP, just for reference.
5449  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Why after all this time is 'crypto journalism' so shit? on: August 19, 2018, 06:58:31 AM
But the crypto specific ones are even more worthless and shit than the mainstream. Most articles they put out can be debunked from the ground up if you spent ten seconds going one level deeper.
Lol, Like this one for Example: bitcoin-banknotes-ready-to-replace-traditional-currency
That's so wrong in so many... The bad thing is, most of them have originated from this forum's spam boards and topics.
In the end, it will all comes down to bitcointalk's integrity on Bitcoin~talk which is shrinking exponentially every year.

Yeah, it's all about traffic generated, more traffic = more revenues. It's like what kind of journalists writes a 2000 words article to say Lady Gaga has colored his dog in pink.
Nope, "Lady Gaga colored her doggo pink" needs more than 2000 words to express IMO.
5450  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help me Install Bitcoind for a fee on: August 19, 2018, 04:36:47 AM
If you're thinking of giving someone access to your server to help you with that - don't. Massive security risk.
Not if the one who's doing the job is a trusted member, that's why we have the trust system.
It could be a pain for a newbie to set it up if its really urgent.

Can somebody help me install and set up bitcoind for a fee on a hosting server?
Try to post a formal "hiring" thread in the Services board, better use an escrow service for the payment if you're not paying in advance.
You can easily find the trusted members using their trust rating, there are a lot of concerned people there who can warn you of possible scam attempts, of course, it's up to you.
5451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: is Dogecoin Blockchain or cryptocurrency on: August 19, 2018, 02:43:22 AM
The misunderstanding came from your categorization, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency belong to two different categories.
  • Crytocurrency(ies) are generally all digital currencies that function like a currency or even an asset like stocks.
  • Blockchain is the underlying technology of some digital currencies like Bitcoins.

So the answer would be: Yes Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that uses Blockchain technology.

And also, if the topic isn't Bitcoin-related, you must post them to Altcoin Discussion.

5452  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATM Malware Found For Sale In The Dark Web! on: August 17, 2018, 03:55:30 AM
I wouldn't call that "news".
Even regular ATMs got a bunch of "for sale" malwares and hacks available on the dark web, but most of them are fakes.
Are there any ATM hacking incidents lately in the news? Yes?

I'd say, this is just news-makers are just doing their jobs. Exaggerating little things.
5453  Other / Meta / Re: New type of off-topic Off Topic bots on: August 13, 2018, 12:12:40 PM
Why do we need an Off-topic section at the first place?
Off-topic is a good place to dump threads with constructive but not crypto-related topics, archival isn't the place for them IMO.

@hilariousetc I second the latter as I mentioned in my previous reply.
Implementing it on Politics Board as well will increase the efficiency of reports/moderation once (it)they start on posting on heavily-moderated boards.
5454  Other / Meta / Re: New type of off-topic Off Topic bots on: August 12, 2018, 02:46:54 PM
...
We need a mod for off-topic. That should be considered majorly right now.

Poor guy who will get this job...
Being a mod in the off-topic section... kinda mission impossible...
-snip-
Moderating an out-of-forum discussion board can be nonsensical, and yes it's a hell of a work for moderator(s).
Why don't we just disable Post count from off-topic board (just like posts from Serious Discussion) and possibly, on other bot-infested boards to discourage those lazytards.
5455  Other / Meta / Re: Sorting System on: August 11, 2018, 02:26:51 PM

Just learn how to efficiently use the search function
or ask for Jet Cash's Ignore List and apply it to your own profile Tongue That could minimize the spam.

How can get private keys without sync?
You can always get the private key of an address using the right-click menu from the address tab.

First, update the old version electrum to check if it's really funded or check the addresses' balance from any blockexplorer.
Do Abdussamad's suggestion to update your Electrum.

5459  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: My bitcoins disappeared after reopening Electrum (3.0.6) on: July 27, 2018, 03:13:23 AM
I can not use the seed option, no password wallet and that option disabled, it's watching only wallet.

 Huh Huh Huh
Wait, what? It's a watch-only wallet?
then, you've possibly made it using (imported) bitcoin addresses and not private keys.
The most possible reason why your bitcoins suddenly disappeared is the person who owns the private keys of those address must have sent them to another wallet.

The third one, shows all transaction history, but no bitcoins.
Can you tell us the Transaction IDs of the third wallet? And tell us which addresses belong to you and the ones that you're not familiar.

This is just to confirm my suspicion (you're a victim of a scam), not a way to recover your funds.
5460  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Cold storage signing - Error: Server did not answer on: July 26, 2018, 10:25:36 AM
Edit, I am using multisig when I received the error.
I created a test single signature wallet, and offline signing worked just fine....hmmm.
Any advice how to do multisig in an offline, cold storage environment?
Ok, a couple of pointers for you in order to know why is it impossible to make cold storage Multisig electrum wallet.

First, a transactions from a multisig wallet requires signatures from three different private keys, from your wallet and (two?) from "Trusted Coin" services which provides the 2FA security.
It will require your client to connect to the server in order for TrustedCoin to sign the transaction.

Second, when you created the Watch only wallet using your cold-storage's xpub key (master prublic key), it only created a new wallet based on one of the private keys of your wallet, thus, the addresses would be in the legacy format. (confirm this by showing the address tab)

Lastly, if the watch-only wallet is funded and you want to spend it, you can make an Air-Gap Cold Storage or a spendable Electrum wallet using the paired xprv key (master private key) of the xpub key that you have used to make the watch-only wallet.
