5501  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: gpu with two different psu on: June 20, 2018, 09:31:40 AM
From an IT point of view it should not be a problem as long as you have connected in series the 2 Psu-s. Connecting in series mean to unite both psus with the green cable.
Please do not describe the tool that simultaneously starts 2 PSUs as "series" because it may cause some misunderstanding and might cause an accident.
I appreciate all your comments, the truth is that it remains unclear, but now it is not as simple as I thought.
Here's a conclusion:
It's unclear to you because the consensus here seemed to be divided to yes or no, but most of those who said yes are those who aren't sure themselves or just google searched the term for you.
I just found 3 persons who are using unrelated terms which strongly suggest that those must have been wrong.

These are the most valid answers so far:
-snip-
So can you? Yes.

Should you? I would rather not but I like to keep everything a bit organized. It would likely be fine for the short term but if it can be remedied in the long term best to get them on the same PSU.
Can you.... Yes

Should you.... NO!!

5502  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why is it more profitable for a node with more than 51% computation power? on: June 20, 2018, 06:58:04 AM
Thanks in advance for the clarification.
You're welcome in advance.

That incentive is the block reward and it's too easy to think of if you're a miner with a city-large mining farm.
Simply Solo mine using that hashrate and you'll definitely get most of the block rewards which is 12.5BTC approximately every 10minutes.

Is there any more profitable choice? 51% attack isn't easy and cheap.

Actually, I have store my all the data on my GoDaddy server
Does your VPS (hosting) plan comes with an unlimited bandwidth and storage space?
I don't know how big the current <Bitcored?>'s node is, so the problem might be the current size of your node on GoDaddy's server.
Or it may be non-compliant to their terms and conditions and they set a cap on your storage space.

Simply use the "report to moderator"  button on the lower right of the post/thread and request to lock it alongside with a valid reason or description.
That is more noticeable than posting a thread in the Meta board.

Example: "Please. lock this thread because the author is currently inactive and a new active thread was already opened as as a replacement."

However, if the reason is too vague, moderators will ignore it.
5505  Other / Meta / Re: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ on: June 19, 2018, 11:16:03 AM
Hello, I have my announcement post on Altcoin, I would like to inquire if adding extra information to my posted thread such as "our coin has been listed on XX exchanges" and " our coin has officially listed on XX ranking sites", this kind of additional information are allowed?
I hope my question is that silly to ask and looking forward to your response on this matter.
There shouldn't be any problem with follow-up information or updates in your own thread as long as you're the Author.
Post like those can count as a bump or an update and even "bump" word alone isn't counted as spam; however, one-word bumps should be deleted afterwards.

The problem is, if those were posted by questionable newbies and brand new accounts, it will fall into spam and the ANN thread will be flagged red by cautious members.

Take note: "our coin has been listed on XX exchanges" is good enough, but a well formatted and constructive update can be a good eye-candy to your potential investors.
5506  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there an only reason for the current market? on: June 19, 2018, 10:24:28 AM
Let's say, the 4th Quarter of 2017 bear market didn't take place, the reason would be the Regulations that the governments established to control exchanges and ICOs.
But the Governments established the regulation because of the "insane" response from the masses to the "new investment" which was the current hype at that time.
Manipulation? That thing happens all the time and like the others, it's just a small portion of the whole history.

So the most accurate answer to the OP is:
There is no definite reason to the current market, all things that happened had its own share to the current market.

TL;DR: No single (only) reason, same history guys.
5507  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: I have something curious about POW on: June 19, 2018, 09:38:13 AM
In my understanding, what OP's talking about "mining" is the Block Reward against the Max 21m Bitcoin cap that's nearly catching up.

Based on that, what they said was true
but as an addition, mining won't reach the point where transaction fees are the only reward during our generation or the next.
The block reward is designed to reduce by half in every 210,000 blocks, you do the math.

Even so, based on useability, transaction fees and satoshi as a reward can still motivate the hardcore or loyal miners of the network if Bitcoin still exist 120 years from now.

How much is the devfee?

SSE4, so this can potentially make (E7+) Core2Duo's hashrate competent enough to earn a profit?
I'd love to try this with my scrap machines.

Waiting for a legit test response or a code review.
5509  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How Many Forks Of Electrum Wallets Are There? BTC, LTC, BTG, BCH, DASH on: June 18, 2018, 10:14:54 AM
Can you provide the link to Github of the list in the OP and include the quoted parts of the shared list of forks by others?
Because this could be a good reference for users who're looking for 3rd-party wallets that support Bitcoin Forks and Altcoins.

People fancy a nicely formatted thread  Wink
5510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core questions on: June 18, 2018, 08:30:11 AM
You can keep the current copy including the blocks up to current height, the question is syncing it after 10 years.
1TB is fine, here's the elementary math that may clear things up.

Given this:
The Bitcoin blockchain grows approximately 1 GB per week, maybe more if you store full SegWit blocks.
Say 1GB(/week) * 52.14(weeks/year)= 52.14GB per year
200GB (current size) + 52.14GB * 10 (years) = 721.4GB Required to fully sync after 10 years.

I second the motion, even a 1TB disk is still future proof up to 15 years given that the Disk survives the Apocalypse and the future systems still supports sATA.
5511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 12 GPU Mining Rig Help. on: June 18, 2018, 07:57:55 AM
actually TDP on my 1070Ti's and P104-100's is 180W, bro. loading your PSUs to the limit isn't good thing either, better to have some power reserve remaining.
I second this.

@FaourZ From the net,
specs

Some powersupplies have "shared" +12v Rail to the regular +12v for other components making the max power label inaccurate for computing the power consumption of the videocards alone.
Most major producers however, separate the rails and using only the max power of the +12v for PCI-e power as the Rating Label.

What are the brand(s) and model(s) of your PSUs?

Unless you can't underclock like the post above me stated, plug out one of the GTX1070ti to test the miner for stability.
5512  Other / MultiBit / Re: Confirmed Transaction Showing Unconfirmed in Multibit Wallet on: June 17, 2018, 09:53:20 AM
From the looks of it, the transaction was carried out and the date was 2017-02-03, which is roughly 16months ago, so this must be the right transaction and regarding the funds:
Yes 1.3985 BTC was sent to 1BwLSXGWxow8hBYmYPLhN2FnvWudQ2MuKK and still unspent which is a good sign.

The reason must be on your client's side unless, that bitcoin address isn't yours.

If you are able to synchronize your wallet to the network, that "unconfirmed transaction" will be updated to "confirmed" and your balance will show.
You can also do this spend it (but make a backup of your wallet.dat/wallet file): Sweep or Import the private key of the address 1BwLSXGWxow8hBYmYPLhN2FnvWudQ2MuKK to other wallet that has a import feature like Electrum.

However, refer to other threads here on how to extract private keys from MultibitHD wallet.
<edit>
I saw that you've already moved your funds, congrats.
5513  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Do you own a shitcoin? lol Find out. on: June 17, 2018, 07:17:40 AM
I noticed that you can press Enter multiple times to change the site's "opinion" to the coin, some coins have one.
There seems to be a list where known coins got its individual description and some shitcoins have non-generic multiple response,
total shitcoins have multiple responses.
Perhaps, it's the developers' personal picks or a sarcastic trading signal.

Conclusion: doiownashitcoin is a fun~er version of our Speculation Board (minus the Memes).
5514  Other / MultiBit / Re: Confirmed Transaction Showing Unconfirmed in Multibit Wallet on: June 17, 2018, 06:55:19 AM
First, you should move this to Development & Technical Discussion > Alternative clients > MultiBit to be noticed by the wallet's users and developers.

Now, are you sure that the output address from blockhain.info is the correct address from your Multibit Wallet?
Because an unconfirmed transaction can't stay in a mempool for that long, could it be that your wallet isn't synchronized to the server or the tx/history is just a "receive request" that you've saved before.
Without further information, I can't help you with this.

Can you provide us the link to blockchain.info of the transaction id?

There's a move button below (bottom-left hand) this thread.
5515  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: If wallet.dat shared or stolen, then encrypt it? on: June 17, 2018, 04:08:36 AM
[1] All coins received via address generated before encryption, B can use them also?
[2] And all coins received via address generated after encryption, only B can use them?
[3] And all coins received via address generated after encryption at A's computer (A2), A and B can use them?
Depends, if the wallet isn't HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) (Ex. Bitcoin Core Wallet), the answers are:
[1] Yes
[2] Yes
[3] No
Encryption won't affect the new address (private key) generation of the wallet, any new generated addresses after the separation are randomized which will produce different new addresses for wallet A & B.

If the wallet is an HD wallet with a SEED (Ex. Electrum), it's:
[1] Yes
[2] No
[3] Yes
Any new Private keys are based on the wallet's seed so, if you generate more addresses, both A & B wallet will produce the same.
5516  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: How safe is my wallet at blockchain.info on: June 16, 2018, 11:05:36 AM
Did you receive the backup seed? AFAIK, the backup seed is compliant with BIP39. If you want to extract it, go to https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and key in your seed. You can find the account number (ie derivation path) from settings>addresses.
Last time I checked, you can request in the UI of blockchain(dot)info for the private key of any of your addresses.
Doing this will remove that address to the list, but it's still best to send all the funds to a new address to be safe.
Given that, the logical solution when shifting to a different wallet is to just send all of your funds to the new wallet (ex. Electrum) via transaction.

<I'll verify this later> Edit
Nah, Export private key is only available for their Ethereum Addresses.

Also, this should be moved to Service Discussion > Web Wallets.
As for the thread question:
For newbies, it is safe in the sense that you don't have to take care of the backups and private key managements and the fees to use bitcoin, all you need is the backup seed or your key+passphrase and your email address.
But not safe in sense of security, on that website, your bitcoins aren't totally under your control.
5517  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: how many possible private keys can electrum generate? on: June 16, 2018, 06:18:48 AM
I chose "I ALREADY HAVE A SEED" then "PLEASE ENTER YOUR SEED PHRASE TO RESTORE YOUR WALLET" then i guess the 12 words.
So its not electrum giving me my seed, i am trying to guess the correct string of words until they fit and the seed is valid and can open the wallet.
No the wallets were never funded and not active on the blockchain, but obviously they could be if someone creates the same seed i guess
There isn't much difference between brutforcing private keys and the mnemonic seed in terms of the total number of combination.
But yes, an HD wallet's seed has lower security but still, collision is impossible.
Here's an old thread to clear things up: How HD wallet works for back ups? Reply by achrow101

Here's a short answer: There are total of 5,444,517,870,735,015,415,413,993,718,908,291,383,296 possible combinations which makes any random combination unique.
Using that, it's easy to compute the chance to get a collision using a calculator that can enter 40+ characters.
5518  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How can I get Bitcoin to start my ad network? on: June 16, 2018, 05:52:47 AM
This. Listen to him. You are going to lose all of your investments if you start a business in a field you are not familiar with, not only with Bitcoin but especially with Bitcoin!!
Actually, he didn't have any investments, he's looking (seemingly begging) for investors.

I've been working on my own Ad Network script and finally, finished it, but, the problem is, I don't know from where to get Bitcoin so I can launch it to the world.

Could anyone help me so I can start?
Investors aren't helping developers, teams, corporations or businesses, they are investing.

This could help you at least:
If you're confident that your script is working and useful, make a demonstration or a whitepaper to encourage potential investors to "help" your project, this thread wont do.
Or sell the script alongside with the demonstration or documentation on how it works.

Hope this helps.

P.S: Yep overthinking does hurt heads, pulsating physically.
5519  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Imported bitcoin address on: June 16, 2018, 04:26:19 AM
so i have a copy of my electrum btc address and imported it,  it was succesful that i imported the address but i am doubtful that i can spend some of my btc left on that wallet, and now its impossible. The amount is not that big.
You can't spend using that "watch only" imported wallet.
If that's possible, anybody else can just steal someone else's funds just by importing addresses with huge balance.

The only options you have to restore a spendable wallet are:
  • The Seed that you've instructed to write down during the first wallet creation process.
  • Each of the Addresses' private keys.

The addresses are always visible to the public, example: blockexplorers.
By the way, if you're not sure: Addresses starts with 1, 3 or bc1 ; Private Keys Starts with 5, K or L ; and the SEED consist of words like dog sheep life science geek maid...etc.
5520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Every wallet address has just one private key which can be generated again? on: June 15, 2018, 09:14:50 AM
Can someone post the article to this image? I would like to have it with a better resolution, it's hard to read the text.

Back to the topic, I think the only way is to bruteforce the private key, which is according to the description above nearly impossible.
Drag and drop it to a new tab or window to view full screen, (after checking) that image has 1920x1200 dimensions which is pretty big to blur.
Here's a link of the full screen version: Right Click->Open Link New Tab

You can try using Vanitygen or Oclavanitygen to waste your electricity, time and dignity; but the chance to bruteforce a loaded address is almost impossible.

You can't forbid someone to pick a random number, can you ?
Yes, of course. Anyone can pick a random number manually even without a computer.
