Hey, these are my two *ehhm "rushed" entries, I gave them a "real" feel, not totally flat;

  • Logo on a transparent Background:
    nc50lc_logo1
  • There's a vacant space (add more width if necessary) on this one for a "catch phrase" or any txt:
    nc50lc_logo2
I've already sent them using the google doc form.
If I have the time, I might add another entry(ies).

There's too much unnecessary forks included (mostly those joke, cashgrabs or both like Bitcoin God & Pizza shouldn't be here), while the old forks like Litecoin aren't.
Can you add the forks from the older blocks prior to Bitcoin Cash? There are a lot of forks behind that.

This looks like a "Phylogenetic tree", the Evolution of Cryptocurrency  Smiley
In this case, Bitcoin is an Aligator, still surviving without any major changes to its design.
I hope someone can make a "graphical version" of this.
5563  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum wallets on: June 06, 2018, 04:48:49 AM
Depending on where your last browsed page in Electrum's wallet selection window, it may display no wallet files at all if you've closed the window while on a different location.
To be sure, browse to the default (Installer/Stand-alone version) location: C(your Windows disk):\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets and look for a wallet file.

If there's a wallet, either copy it to your desired place and browse to that location using Electrum's "Choose..." menu, or
Manually go to the default location directly.

And yes, 3.0.3 isn't safe.

Right 51 characters that starts with 5, that must be a private key (uncompressed).
Almost all cases, private keys composed of lower case and upper case aside from numbers but there's a very very slim chance to have a full capital character in a private key.

If all of your private keys have all Caps, there must be something wrong with the file dump or the txt editor you've used.
5565  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Manually Finding Private Keys in Wallet.dat on: June 05, 2018, 08:53:49 AM
I have a whole list of private keys, i only tried one with a small balance, it tells me the private key is invalid. yes I used the same browser.
Do not paste your private keys in any online wallet that you didn't trust, in other words, all of them.
To try if those Private Keys are valid, use offline Electrum instead, you can paste them all in one go using the "restore/new wallet" using private key(s) option.

Answer Bob's question, it's pretty important:
How much characters does your private key have? And what does it start with? 5.., L.., K.. ?
5566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I found my old wallet from 2011 - wrong address showing up on: June 05, 2018, 06:16:38 AM
What was shown (your address) is just one of your wallet's unused address, blockchain.info should also display that there's no record of transaction in that address.

Go to the "receive tab"/"erhalten".
If the previous transactions are in the history, there should be a balance displayed; if there's no balance but there's history of transfers, either you've already moved it to another wallet or it was moved by someone else.

But as the image displays, there's no record of any transaction in the "all transactions" tab, that must be an outdated wallet backup.
Disclaimer: Do not delete it, I could be wrong.

ETN forked i did not give a f**k becasue that guy Richards Ellys or whatever his name is, turned out to be assh**e (sorry about the stars, i did not read forum rules so i donīt want to get banned).
Lol, right.
As I have mentioned before (in a "cryptonight ASIC" thread), Those newly released ASICs will determine if a cryptonight coin has good developers.
Monero did a good job with its recent POW Algorithm change, and the timing.
And actually, I'd expected Electroneum to follow right after before the hashrate skyrocket, but they didn't.
A little bit late but "they have money" to patch things up, but still... late.

P.S.: It's not against the rules to swear, as long as there's a constructive opinion alongside with it.
Directly swearing like an insult can be reported though.
1. Such posts like "SELL SELL SELL", "I agree", "+1", "Support", "Watching", "Interesting", "LOL", "SCAM", "LEGIT", "FAKE", other one word posts, posts consisting mostly of swearing, quote pyramids,useless introduction threads, threads about a topic already recently discussed in several other threads.
5568  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Electroneum (ETN) Mobile Miner on: June 04, 2018, 08:17:59 AM
What happens when a guy uses a simulator to mining Electroneum?
A super computer with a powerful CPU will be extremely effective.
There's no point on doing that in the first place.
Everyone can mine Electroneum using Powerful PCs, from Standard Desktop to Super Computers as long as the OS supports the new miner or the full node.

If you're thinking of powerful CPUs overshadowing the mobile miners, it's kinda happened roughtly a week ago.
Cryptonight ASICs was released to the public and ETN's total hashrate had rose to a phenomenal level in which made the regular PC and Mobile miners obsolete.
But that's resolved for now after the (too late) change in POW Algorithm.
5569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Advice for a semi-new miner please :) on: June 04, 2018, 06:38:04 AM
If you're into ASICs, do not buy anything other than SHA-256 like Antminer S9 for Bitcoin Mining.
Any other coins that could be mined using ASICs can change their Algorithm "in a snap of his finger", especially those one entitled as ASIC-proof like Monero.
Bitcoin however, (looks like) doesn't have a plan to change its POW algo.

My two cents is stay away from ASICs if you're not planning to scale to industrial level.
5570  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: the transfer i made from my electrum wallet to my bitpay card got lost. on: June 04, 2018, 05:02:46 AM
Yes, I made sure to wait until my initial BTC transfer from my Blockchain wallet hit my Electrum wallet. I tried tracking all the activity but it seems that there is record of Electrum sending my money somewhere but not to Bitpay. You seem very knowledgeable on this topic, where as I am not. I'd be happy to pay you to track and retrieve my money. Please let me know if you're interested. Thank you.
It is not possible to track the bitcoins if it was sent unknowingly, I only said that it could be recoverable if the fault was on given scenarios on my reply above.

The bolded text in the quoted message suggests that you could have been a victim of a malware.
The two possibilities are:
  • 1. Clipboard hijacking malware; if the transaction's date is the same date that you made the transaction stated in the OP, that malware must have changed the pasted address in your "send" transaction.
  • 2. Fake Electrum Wallet; if the tx's date didn't ring a bell, this could be the reason.
    The official Electrum site is electrum.org, if you've downloaded your Electrum somewhere else, it's a fake.
    If you're positive that you are using a genuine version, your system must be compromised (hacked).

I can't further help you with this, but displaying the Transaction ID in public doesn't pose an issue as Steamtyme said.
The Tx ID is always available online in any blockexplorer site, except if you didn't want to link the addresses to user "lastusername".
5571  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Gambling system on: June 03, 2018, 11:45:04 AM
I'm not questioning your integrity but asking a response to probable user issues, specially for a gambling site which receives as lot of criticism and complaints from the potential customers.

About the bot, as there is no "bot system" in place so I'm not really sure what to answer and even if there is a "bot" I'm not sure what would be the problem as the odds wouldn't change.

[1] Imagine if there's an irritated gambler, and he's totally convinced that there's something wrong with his losing streak.
Now, the first thing that comes in his mind is that the site is using bots that's bypasses the probably-fair system. Then he, rants.

The response "There is no bot system" wouldn't help in most cases and "even if there is a bot I'm not sure what would be the problem as the odds wouldn't change" can potentially drive away the players because you've just admitted that bots aren't an issue.

The problem is: If it was the owner's bot (which they[1] are thinking) their loses will drop straight to the owner's (your) pocket, and it really isn't fair for gamblers at all.
That's why player vs player game in gambling sites are rare.
With that, you need to research a wining response to those kind of customers,

TL;DR: Forget it, it's too early to think of that.  Undecided

Seriously, you really need a front-end developer in your team.
Or at least pick a less-stressful color, gamblers will stare at their monitor for hours and the visuals are pretty important in that case.

My question is:
If ever a gambler questions the coinflip's match making for being suspicious about his previous opponents, claiming that those must be bots, what would be your answer?
And how can you explain to us that it is a "real" player, not a bot? Because it's technically possible.
5573  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: the transfer i made from my electrum wallet to my bitpay card got lost. on: June 03, 2018, 06:13:54 AM
Are you sure that you've used the correct address from your Electrum wallet?
If the transaction from your "Blockchain Wallet" does went fine, there should be a received transaction in the history tab on Electrum.

It could be:
  • The first transaction is still unconfirmed; if it is, just wait a little bit more before sending from Electrum to Bitpay.
  • Your Electrum wallet isn't synced and still haven't "notified" of an incoming balance.
    Look at the lower-right circle on Electrum, if it is Green it's synced; if Red, you're offline or disconnected.
  • Is that "blockchain wallet" an online wallet? Because most newbies mistakenly identifies Bitcoin from Bitcoin Cash and most online wallets supports both currencies.
  • Your Bitpay card obviously didn't received anything since Electrum must've not received Bitcoins at all.
  • Lastly, can you show us the Tx ID of the first transaction (any link from a blockexplorer is fine) so we can tell the possible problems and solutions.

Assuming that you copied the correct address, the money isn't lost.
5574  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Starting a project and need your thoughts on: June 03, 2018, 04:49:02 AM
Honestly, it will be tough to startup something like a learning portal through ICO.

First, and obviously because most of the competitors offer free basic services.
Secondly, ICOs are best used as an asset or share-based unit, not as the currency for transactions and payments.
Lastly, People online aren't interested on being taught to learn at all (yes, that's the truth), mostly looking for information for a couple of things like hobby, curiosity, get rich quick, etc.

Here's my suggestion: You will find it hard to find the potential investors if you just offer the said service as it is, you need to find a unique additional service along with the learning portal if you want this to succeed. And that's the million-dollar assignment for you and your team.

Regards.
5575  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Can I manage BitCoin Cash with Electrum too? on: June 03, 2018, 03:27:29 AM
If yes: How do I distingish between these two cryptocurrencies?
You can't use the official Electrum to Bitcoin Cash. Use TryNinja's link.
Either no or Yes, they are easily distinguishable: Bitcoin is BTC, BitcoinCash is BCH;

Bitcoin isn't classic, it is still the official chain (perhaps, Roger Ver has used the term "fork" in his scam)
selection of the official chain is "voted" by the nodes and BCash's chain has just been "kept alive" by their supporters,
I don't want to turn this into a debate so, there you go.
5576  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: One-destination-units blockchain (without PoW) with probabillistic usage on: June 02, 2018, 08:25:30 AM
Is this based from your reply from the thread: Public permissioned blockchain?
Because I still haven't found a post of yours that stated something like:
Hi, because I talked about that idea that is probably a bit flawed
Because the OP of that thread didn't presented a Public permissioned blockchain but asked the technicalities about it.

I don't want to be a bummer but, the title itself (without PoW) spells a lot of potential vulnerabilities and I won't make a long list 'coz it's a pain in the ass.
Here's a shortcut:
  • [1] Is this supposed to be in the list?
  • [2] Why would any coin developer do that?
  • [7] Transactions aren't Board/Chat rooms.

And the list... seems like you didn't understand the term "Blockchain" at all.
No worries, it's pretty normal for a newbie.

Here's a refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain

There's no clear user interface or guidelines, so it's quite not user-friendly. Not for me, at least.

These might help the visitors:
  • If the box is light blue (which is a link as default in HTML pages), it is clickable and expandable.
  • To Zoom out, click the top row (current position/location) which highlights in orange when properly hovered by the mouse pointer.
    Because sometimes, it seems like not responding to clicks.
  • I works with a javascript and some users set their browser's javascript disabled, some may report issues.
Overall, it's useful for merit source/huge merit trading search.

Can you add a space where the small merit senders are listed?
5578  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Noob question about Electrum on: June 02, 2018, 05:33:10 AM
that is not a risk because there are ways of solving the problem if you paid a lower fee than you should have and had your transaction stuck. and Electrum and Bitcoin core are already marking the transactions as RBF by default which makes that easy to solve.
I mean, when you buy bitcoins (from an exchange in this case) in some cases you don't have an option to choose the tx fee of the withdrawal request.
If this was from December, when you directly use the invoice deposit address from the mixer (Buy Bitcoins -> Send to Mixer -> Your Wallet) and it didn't make it in time, that's the risk (for a newbie like OP).
But as I said It may never happen again after the recent updates, so, it's not much of a subject for discussion.
5579  Economy / Speculation / Re: Someone pumped the price of BTC Today: approx 250 USD on: June 02, 2018, 03:36:33 AM
Bitcoin community should consider this as a major issue.
Oh my god, we should panic!

The price just got pumped up by 3%! expect it to drop by 5% after the dump.
This is one hell of a price manipulation by the Whales, there's no way that this is normal. [/sarcasm]

After the first few replies, I can't seem to understand why someone still take the time to type with that kind of reply, you just simply whispered out "Nuke my posts please".

By the way, I didn't see where OP stated the $2b approximate for the lame "pump report".

Saw it:
I was wrong about the 20 Billion and deleted it!
5580  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Noob question about Electrum on: June 01, 2018, 10:25:58 AM
Or just skip the whole Wallet1 and Wallet2 setup altogether... and simply go: Buy Bitcoins -> Send to Mixer -> Your Wallet
Good shortcut, except the risky part during times when unconfirmed transactions are clogging the network and normal transaction could take more than a week.
Today, it's risk free even for a newbie.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but just now I can't imagine what the point is.
There is really no point here unless you're strictly conscious about your transaction and asset's privacy not against the regular users but the "Big Guys".
Otherwise, someone like me won't be able to tell if those bitcoins from an address belongs to you (unless if motivated/payed to do so).

Bitcoin was designed not to be anonymous,
But not re-using an address can help you keep your privacy safe, do not disable "Use Change Address" either.

If you wanted to be "slightly" anonymous, do the mini-mixing yourself by utilizing all of the addresses in another Electrum wallet.
Or just use a mixer service to skip the hassle.
