There are not many software wallets that this applies to, but I have run into at least too that either through some forked code or a software update that was intense, the passphrase were no longer working with the new versions.  It may have also been that the wallet had written installation data to the appdata folder that, when not present, preventing the acceptance of a passphrase that is unknown to the software.

There is more info than could ever be covered here, but here is one piece of advice to watch for the dev dump.  When looking at the buy/sell page on a coin that is new to you.  Look at the sell tickets that are waiting to be filled.  If you see a long line of even amounts, then the dev may be dumping coins now or in the future, or someone that is trying to unload them.  Big amounts lined up are obvious, but most slick operators will plant trip wires sell tickets.  Once they see the tickets start filling, then they dump the big amounts.

Current Bounties
Bounty 1 - Teamviewer into my machine and get Jminer setup.  This should use my graphics card which is currently a 280x, which should be able to check over 200 Mb/s with this working properly.

Pays - .02 btc

_______________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________


I have recently gotten into Burstcoin mining, for various reasons that won't be discussed in this thread.  But am having some issues with a couple of aspects of it.  Here is my current setup and questions...

I bought three Seagate 8 TB hard drives from amazon, link below...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HAPGEIE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which I am working on getting set up to mine.

First, I have a rig that I am using for plotting, so far it has gotten faster plot times than my mining rig, so I have been using it.
I was able to get GPUplotter up and running on it, but am only able to get about 5200 nonces/minute.  I have 4 cards in this machine, a 1080 TI, 1080, 1080, and 1070 and am currently using the 1080Ti to plot.  Here is my device file...
0 0 1792 256 8192
and here is my start file
gpuPlotGenerator generate buffer d:\Burst\plots\6122256529182459080_50000000_30498624_2496
The machine only has 4 GB of RAM, but if I understand it correctly that shouldn't matter since it uses the 1080Ti only.

So question one is, shouldn't I be able to get faster plot time than about 5200?  I have been reading that some people are in the 20k range and figured a 1080Ti should be up there pretty high?

Second, I have a rig that I have the hard drives plugged into once they are done plotting.  I have gotten through 1 of the 8 TB HD's, and have a few smaller external HD's that I had laying around that I have been testing with.
This rig has 16 GB of RAM and an i5-4670K CPU at 3.40GHz (4 CPU's) and 2x 280x 4 GB GPU's.
The hard drives are plugged into a powered USB hub, which is then plugged into the computer.
When I run the CPU miner that comes with the Burst wallet, I get about 35 Mb/s when scanning the extra external hard drives, but it drops to only about 20 Mb/s when scanning the 8 TB ones.

Question two is, should I be getting faster scan times with these computer specs?  It just seems painfully slow to go through almost 12 TB in nearly a minute and a half to two minutes and I don't think I would be able to expand anymore, which is against my plan.

Question three is, I have been trying to get the Jminer to run, which uses the GPU, but all that has happened is a black screen shows up and then disappears after a quarter of second and that is it.  I tried it on both the mining and plotting rig and both the same issue.  I downloaded Java 8 from here...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/java8-2100321.html
and I am pretty sure my OpenCL is fine since both machines are able to mine with no issues.  So I am not sure what the problem is.

The first problem I need to solve is how to scan through the hard drives faster.  It takes about 3 days to plot a 8 TB drive currently, but I can at least grow the operation with that, not so much with the current mining speeds.  Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be willing to pay a bounty to anyone who can get these things working.

Thanks,

DebitMe



Jminer needs to be the same architecture as your Java.  Personally, I always install Java directly to a folder on C, not to program files.  C:\Java is where I put mine.  Now, if you install 64 bit Java then you need to make sure that you are telling jminer that in the command that starts it, I believe that it is something like a parameter of "--d64", it is there in the example batch file.  Personally I found that jminer had issues with my 64 install, so I installed 32 bit Java and used that with jminer.

Couple questions for those that might want to use the service.  First, where do the numbers come from?  Most good companies these days that need a phone verification will check for whether the phone is a mobile VOIP, like Google Voice or countless othes and will not allow verification through them.  Also, do you keep control of the numbers in case the same client using the same site or service needs another verification. 
5465  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use Social Media for Bitcoin on: June 06, 2017, 07:33:34 AM
I always post bitcoin related topics on my facebook.

What I noticed is that there are a lot more groups, posts and things on social media than I knew of and the second point is that they were pretty much invisible unless you searched for them.  I think it was last year that I was tracking down one of those scammers and followed the trail to Facebook and I was amazed how huge the Facebook Bitcoin and/or Crypto community was. The issue for us is that virtually no one does not seek that info out is going to find it. 
5466  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: btcclicks.com gone scam? (deleted my acc with 2000 ref) on: June 05, 2017, 05:42:06 PM
There is a difference between being a scam simply being money hungry jerks.  A scam would simply steal from you and bolt.  This site might be a bunch of jerks.  These jerk sites do their normal business, making money off the fees or whatever is the revenue base, but at the same time they watch very closely for anything close to a TOS violation.

Most of the companies check frequently, the people use the multiple promotion under same account. I have noticed these kind of activities as being in customer care. Please write a email to site support. They will check with the supervisor and assist you better. If this never recovered check the location of the site owner and write complaints about in the Government board.

If you step over the line at all, even not knowing it, they close the account and keep the money, or profits or whatever matches that account type.  To positively know that you have not violated, you would have to have an attorney read the full TOS.  That was not a literal statement, just a way of saying that terms can be hidden in there, bot make since or whatever and everyone agrees to them just to get started.  
5467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you using low fees? on: June 05, 2017, 04:34:15 PM
never used low fees , its risky i used this once and received my payment on 7 hours , ijm always use standard-high fees due its fast confirmation , i dont recommend if you use high fees for low amount transaction since its worthless..  Embarrassed

These days I think it would be crazy to use a fee lower than the standard, if not higher.  Almost all TX's that I have incoming or outgoing I watch on blockcypher.  It is an interesting approach the site has by giving the normal info and adding in the miner preference and a few more nice little points of data that are very cool.  The more and more that people learn about Bitcoin, the more that I distrust a low fee too.  
5468  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: June 05, 2017, 04:02:14 PM
I imagine there is some power either controlling the money or in the government that is hanging on to paper to not make a change, not sure why.  Counterfeiting is still all over and although there are better methods to catch bad money, there are also five new paper currency designs every couple years and you can see why a 16 kid working at the grocery store register would have trouble visually spotting a bad bill, there are ten versions of each one!  It is just a matter of time.
 
5469  Economy / Economics / Re: Why have Bitcoin instead of cash? on: June 05, 2017, 02:47:27 PM
Why have Bitcoin instead of cash?  In the government conspiracy department, being a little crazy..you can believe that every purchase you make on credit or debit card is tracked and traced and you are slowly profiled using all the data and the government watches every thing you do, Bitcoin prevents that.  A little less crazy, the government and the banks do record all those transactions and do use software to analysis the data.  On the less crazy side of the street, the government cares very little about you until you buy something like an explosive, a baby or whatever evil thing you have in mind. But, without precautions, you buy a bomb with Bitcoin and you will likely still get that knock on the door.
5470  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me understand the ownership and provenance of the technology behind Bitcoin on: June 05, 2017, 02:28:45 PM
It may be that coinbase uses a finite lot of addresses and recycles them.  One day an address is assigned to you for a specific TX and once the TX has confirmed and the outputs consumed, the address goes back in the pot for the next client.  That would be a major pain to handle on the server side, but who knows.  They very likely use an hierarchical wallet structure with many address generated under a smaller set of addresses.
5471  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Opened Bitcoin Core for the first time in years - balance is 0 (still syncing) on: June 05, 2017, 02:03:16 PM
I would try getting the newest Bitcoin core and during the install put it in a new strange file directory.  If you can do this on another PC great.  Then copy, not move, the wallet data files to the new install directory and see if it will grab them and sync.  Make sure that the install files and directory for the original core is not disturbed at all, as you may have to return to that if unsuccessful.
 
5472  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: WARNING: ICOcountdown.com SCAM extortion scheme on: June 05, 2017, 01:25:53 PM
is that any different than a website charging advertising fees?

And if your project can't afford 4.5 Bitcoin then maybe people shouldn't be trusting you with their hard earned coins cause you're broke

shitcoin exchanges do the same thing, charge to get coins listed...cost of doing business. Is this like the only site people use to find shitty underfunded ICO projects to dump coins into?

Maybe you should do an ICO to create a WEBSITE to compete with icocountdown considering it's nothing more than a website and they are charging high fees..

The exchanges are the place in the Bitcoin world where the controls are the tightest.  When FIAT is involved, there is a point where the government will worm its way in and they found that point at the exchange of FIAT and crypto, so launching an exchange is expensive and difficult.  Mining coins, running a farm and anything that involves mining needs constant upgrading, is very fragile in a revenue sense and is a full time job if it is done correctly.
5473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beth ICO ( Beth.jp ) Another Scam in cryptoland on: June 05, 2017, 01:03:08 PM
It may not be a scam, but there are a lot of questions which their representative is not answering. 

Not every one can come to the meeting in Japan, how about making some effort to answer some of the concerns raised in this thread.

I tried searching for the Beth team online, and so far I've had no luck. It doesn't bode well,

You make it to the other side of the ICO, into the launch and on to the exchange and your coin peaks pretty quickly from the little support that you have gotten.  It hits a high enough price that the coins that you have personally are worth a moderate bank.  As soon as the price highs begin, the drop hits.  Those that had some coins of their own take advantage of the decent Satoshi price and dump, bringing the price back down, perhaps forever.

If you look at a coin like, say Burstcoin, that is based off the NXT backbone, you will see that with some effort it can be messed with.  The facts are that most standard hacking does not pay off for Cryptos as the resources that are hacking into the network of the coin could be doing just as much good generating coins the old fashioned way....or whatever.

A third case could be his health condition. If so i hope it is something serious like alien abduction, zombie attack, accused as witch and burned alive ...

Not just some worthless plane crash, heart attack,  car accident ...

i hope he still survived all of them  Grin

Morantis has followed a few of your projects over the past year and he has spotted the good ones.  He said something about this and I am jumping on board.  It seems that the wallet comes and goes with syncing, but that never lasts for long and it is up to date quick once it is back online, so that is not that big of an issue, but is nova the only exchange out there that has the coin right now?
5476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: THE BEST BITCOIN WALLET on: June 05, 2017, 08:53:44 AM
Can't say there are any best bitcoin wallet since they're optimized for different usage or devices, but here's wallet that i think it's great :
1. Mobile wallet : Mycelium
2. SPV Desktop wallet : Electrum
3. Desktop wallet : Bitcoin Core

I don't have any hardware wallet, so i don't know what's the best hardware wallet and i can't say any online bitcoin wallet is the best bitcoin wallet, especially centralized ones.

If you use a software wallet, make sure that you make a back up of the wallet.dat, record your 12 word phrase and keep both of those safe.  Anything that ever happens to the computer and especially the hard drive could mean the permanent loss of your coins and that is forever, no one, not even Satoshi himself could get them back. Care  should be taken with desktop wallets keys and then you are good to go.
5477  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will we ever see bitcoin lower than 1000$? on: May 30, 2017, 11:13:54 PM
Even some months ago bitcoin'a price was 600$ but it started to rise and everyone sees how it become 1300$, than 1-2 month ago we had a little fall and lowest price was 890$ but than it returned to it's 1200-1300 and continued to rise and rise and we see what we get in result, bitcoin's price is 2750$ currently. This is very high rise and what do you think guys, will we see fall from 2700 to 1000 or even to 600$ ? Can we to forget worries of price fall?
Bitcoin so far was 2250$, so I think it will not gonna drop below  1000$ , the demand was continously rising up
And however, majority of the investors/ capitalist are joining the concepts of what
Bitcoin has in terms of business advertisement.

Bitcoin is now above 200$ for quite a sometime and i feel now it will not fall below that figure. Since when the bitcoin is 200$, it has been more on the people mind and media and now many believe it is something valuable and will rise more, so i think we shall see 300$ in a matter of few months from now. Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular as its price is increasing as it is attracting the world with all the benefits of digital currency.

Hello,   
wondering which site to use live sports betting? cloudbet seems fishy lately, directbet closed, any better choice than cloudbet ?
thank you

I used Directbet for sports betting and sadly it is closed. I have tried cloudbet and few other sites but i could not find a match for directbet.eu
It was a masterpiece when it comes to sports betting and no other site is so simple and yet so productive than directbet.

I am searching for a good sport betting site for myself now. Lets see if someone can come up with  a better site.
5479  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fees!!! on: May 30, 2017, 10:51:16 PM
If you cash out by bitcoins at a casino and the casino doesn't add enough fees for fast confirmation. If the price of bitcoin drops a lot. Should the casino be held responsible for the price differences in which you cashed out at and the current loss in btc prices?
I think yes but no any casino will be willing to take this responsibility. They only update their system when someone report this issue to them and what best users can do is to either wait for confirmation or use tx accelerator services like viabtc tx accelerator to get faster confirmation.

I think the tx fee are very minimal as compare to the earning of the casino. So no casino will put a less tx fee, just to delay the transcation and ruin their reputation. If a casino does this, no one will come back again to the casino to play, so it will be a blunder for a casino to put low tx fee. A good casino should put a high tx fee and no deduction of fee to give their customer a better playing experience and therefore a boost in their own business.
5480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: May 30, 2017, 10:36:47 PM
Gambling does not help my life better. Even gambling changed my lifestyle into irregularity. But that was before, because I was already aware, there was just little luck for me in gamble.
Yes. Gambling is just a luck based games, somehow you will be lucky on that day and someday you're not. The worst scenario you would be poor and lose all of your money if you aren't aware with gambling mechanism and lose your mind while playing it.

Yes, during gambling it's almost impossible to control yourself and it's better not to mess with them not to lose your money.
Yes, controlling yourselves is highly impossible and that is the reason you are unable to stop yourself after getting good profit, is a major factor which does not allow many people to end up in profit in gambling. If you want to win in gamble, then you need to set rules and that can help you. When you will be following your own rules, you may make profits in gambling which may result in gaining self control in real life too.

Gambling imitates many real life situations hence some practices we are learning for gambling purposes may help us in real life too. Emotion control must be a very good example here.

Gambling can only help you in life if you are not greedy. As you mentioned most people after getting the profit,risk all the principle amount and the profit again in gambling and making them lose means that they earned nothing in he end, although they won in the last bet but now its no use. So if one is sensible  and not greedy, gambling can give good amounts.
