5601  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How can we reuse 'Not chosen Blocks' in forking on: May 15, 2018, 03:18:04 AM
so how about this ?
I think that transactions that comeback to mempool should have a priority for network efficiency.
It will just be added as any other transactions not as a returned tx, the ones that will be prioritized are always the tx with higher transaction fee.

The network as of now maybe not "that efficient" since the scaling solutions aren't exactly being used by the majority but,
using that method of prioritization can easily get abused by network spammers which can even lead to more stuck transactions.
5602  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Transaction confirmation on: May 15, 2018, 02:44:38 AM
For the live update of the total number of unconfirmed transactions, you can check it here: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions.

Currently (time of my post), we have 3,000 Pending tx which suggest a 30sat/byte tx fee for fast transactions.
You've sent yours at the worst timing when it almost reached sub 20k value making the recommended fee skyrocket to 1k sat/b,
still something temporary like that will guarantee the low fee tx to be verified after the  spike.
But not during heavy times like last December's "issue".

If you can't speculate the tx fee base on the rate of growth of the number of unconfirmed transactions. Just visit:And use the green recommended sat/byte transaction fee.

Are you going to give me your Bitcoin Cash address? Hahaha.
Did you just mistook me for a Bitcoin Trash supporter?  Shocked
The the main point of my post is: It's getting off-topic. (look at your title and OP)

Read this again:
Is there any way to patent the name "Bitcoin" because V and his lads wont stop these kind of propaganda unless there's something regulating the "names".

Anyways, no hard feelings and I think it's time to lock this thread.

Thank you. (+1 politeness)
5604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rig keeps shutting off on: May 14, 2018, 06:43:46 AM
Shutting down usually suggests a driver or hardware issue.
Nope, definitely not the driver.
Windows-based PC will display BSOD if it was the driver's fault for worst case scenarios, incompatible drivers may work but the performance will be too obvious to the user or wont install at all.
It's the Hardware as the first page post suggests.

Lastly, BTC22 haven't bumped this for a while but he's active and minin' and probably solved this issue himself.
It's just this Jr member: honestinvestor selfishly bumped this thread after a month of slumber which brings the "topic title" alive again.

Hey! since it's a long post, make use of "iURL" links on your Table of Contents to jump to the specific listed part.
Example: Click this to skip my post.

Use this as the table of contents:
Code:
       1. [iurl=#point1]Creating a multi-signature wallet[/iurl]
      2. [iurl=#point2]Sending a transaction from a multi-signature wallet[/iurl]

      5. [iurl=#point5]Coin control[/iurl]
      6. [iurl=#point6]Using a hardware wallet[/iurl]
      7. [iurl=#point7]Extra information[/iurl]
then, enclose the target headers or just parts of it with [anchor=01(to 07)][/anchor] like:
Code:
[anchor=point1][size=14pt][b]1. Creating a multi-signature wallet[/b][/size][/anchor]
<!-------------- contents...  ------------------>

5606  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: POW vs. POS on: May 14, 2018, 05:14:49 AM
Yes, that's correct and simple.

in addition:
Proof of Work (POW) is "Mining" using hardwares like Processors, GPUs, ASICs or even HDD/RAM.
Proof of Stake (POS) selection can be randomized depending on the "stake" which is directly or indirectly based on the holder's total number of coins in possession.

Every POS coins differ a lot in picking/distributing the reward.
Some are using "MasterNodes" that pose as a full node and a non-hashing miner that holds the owner's coins at stake.
Some are simple higher share higher chance which can easily leads to centralization.
5607  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Using Lightning Network microtransactions to help website/network security? on: May 13, 2018, 11:43:51 AM
That would unnecessarily require every visitors of the site to open a channel just to visit the page.
The similar PPA (Pay Per Article) might work using LN, but it still not a convenient option for visitors even the traditional fiat method, look at its popularity.

Even if it's as cheap as 1 satoshi, the mainstream will think twice before considering the hassle.
I've realized that this is for (online/remote accessible) server security, leave the mainstream out of it.
It will require an always online Lightning Hub in order to accept access attempts 24/7.
For a single person or a team, that's going to be crucial.
but for a large-companies like a Hosting Service Provider who's willing to add a new type of security, it's quite possible.
5608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Cooling in Setup on: May 12, 2018, 10:55:21 AM
Oh no! Could you give an example or maybe a link to a video of one running, please?
Here's a youtube link (short video, not mine): Antminer s9 Sound Level Test- How loud is an S9? Tested Take note: Non-skipable Ads may play before the actual video.

Also, is that a definite that it won't overheat, or just if I'm lucky? Huh What are the chances the in my home in Phoenix, Arizona during the peak of summer it might overheat?
Worst case scenario isn't failing to disperse the heat (those have really fast RPM), but Bitmain's shipping service.
They may send you a completely worn-out unit [yes, most of them were already used (for testing?)] or a Defective one which will take forever to RMA.

The noise of S9's fans are quite higher pitched than the old S7 Antminers, but both are really annoying.
If that's the case, you will be forced to pick one Antminer S9 or your wife?  Grin

-Edit-
I realized that you've said: V9. But those have pretty same fans and noise, ehm.
5609  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Tips for newbies, who want to avoid over-quoting on: May 12, 2018, 07:33:19 AM
I will not go against this but, the OP's format is giving me headaches.

Here're some of my points:
  • The images blend well to the text (width=1280 screen), to the point that the whole thing looks like pure text with broken paragraphs.
  • There's an add or signature add in the first image.

To help you with this:
Notes:
The topic has been under-constructions
  • I suggest you to resize the images to mismatch the default size of the forum's font by addding "width=size"
    ex: [img width=800 alt=image]picture.jpg[/img] .
  • Make use of bold, italic and underlines for headers and for emphasis. [hr] for breaklines with actual lines.
  • And crop the image that contains a signature add, I think that one might have broken a forum rule.

Lastly, this must be placed to Beginners and Help if this is really a "tip for newbies".
Otherwise, you can change the title with "Members", "Forum Members" or others; most of those "scroll-wasters" aren't newbies anyways.
5610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which Coin I Mine With Mobile phone? How Mobile Mining Works? on: May 12, 2018, 06:48:30 AM
It because OP hasn't ASICs nor GPUs. Even while post, OP uses the phone that will use for mining. Relax, am just kidding  Tongue
I didn't get this, where's the joke? The grammar?

In addition to my post above, knowing how Mobile mining works is relatively the same as knowing how mining works.

In simple (newbie) terms: Your Processor and/or Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) will try to solve the Proof of Work (POW) Algorithm of the coin to make a new block that contains the reward.
In pool-mining, the mining operator does most of this, the miners will just have to share their processing power to the pool.
You'll get the picture if you stick to researching cryptocurrency mining.

You might wanna need these info too:
Electroneum Mobile miner works like this: it simply get the online active time of the miner and their server computes it based on that factor alone, it wont even use your GPU/CPU to mine ETN (try it).

Faucet Mining will use your CPU to add to the total hashrate of their coinhive (or simmilar API) account.
The amount (you'll receive) will be based on your Phone/PC's hashrate and the coin's current price at a "lose-lose" basis.

See, those are pointless mining schemes.
It wont even help you for the sake of experience, those could bring some misguidance to newbie mining enthusiasts, IMO.

An advice to Newbies: Lock Thread(s) After Getting Enough Replies.
5611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which Coin I Mine With Mobile phone? How Mobile Mining Works? on: May 12, 2018, 04:45:01 AM
The term "mobile mining" was just Electroneum's gimmick and totally pointless,
unless we have a time machine to bring these android phones back to the days when bitcoins are mined using a PentiumIV PC.

At least, you can "micro-earn" small fraction of a coin through faucet websites that offers "mining" service.
Or Electroneum's (ETN) mobile miner.
But as i said, that's unprofitable and pointless.

You can do that JFF using a disposable android phone.

Examples of the sites with mining gimmick: coinpot.co, freebit.co.in and others.
5612  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Btc transaction still unconfirmed after hours *TIME RUNNING OUT :( * on: May 12, 2018, 03:14:00 AM
Currently, it's already 25 confirmations.
Did it made it through the invoice time limit? I guess no.

I never seen an exchange withrawal transaction that used one input (not batching txs).
And the address starts with "1", Coinbase.com?
5613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PSU x2 on: May 11, 2018, 09:40:41 AM
PSU1 AX1500i Corsair (MB connected to this one)
PSU2 x miner 1600
GPU : 1080ti Gigabyte 11g gaming (all the 8 GPus are the same)
OC the same for all ( Core 125 Memory 100 Power 225 )
Ok, the PSUs are different, this is pretty normal for two different Power Supplies. Read the bottom part of my previous reply.

In addition, Corsair is a reputable brand which strongly suggest that your first PSU has a good power efficiency.
The second one is a Chinese Brand? (I never heard of it, honestly-edit-Taiwan), it could be less efficient that makes it more power-hungry than the 1st one.
5614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PSU x2 on: May 11, 2018, 09:27:11 AM
Can't tell, unless you tell us your full specs or the Power Supplies and Video Card Brands at least.

Reply with these information:
  • PSU1 and PSU2 Brand and Model
  • GPU Brands and Model, which of them are connected to PSU1/PSU2
  • Each GPU's overclocking settings
Then, others/I may try find out the reason why.

Here's a hard guess: Some GPUs of the same model can be more efficient (hardware quality) than the others,
the chance is higher if their Brands are assorted (different manufacturers).

Why here? I  mean, in this thread.

Is there any way to patent the name "Bitcoin" because V and his lads wont stop these kind of propaganda unless there's something regulating the "names".
Like a specialized world-wide patent regulatory body for open-source projects to protect the brand.
Potentially, it can minimize scam coins and ICOs too. The system will be too complicated, I guess.

Anyways, here's to be on-topic again: Yes, SegWit is Backward Compatible Smiley
5616  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What address type should I choose? Segwit? on: May 11, 2018, 06:00:03 AM
For the benefit of "lighter" transactions, overall cheaper fees and old-wallets/services compatibility,
Choose SegWit that starts with "3" (nested Segwit in a P2SH).

Regardless of what I chosen, are there no compatibility issue between them now and future?
For now, native SegWit "bc1" (bech32 P2WPKH) SegWit addresses aren't supported by some exchanges and online wallet services.
Some of those are not accepting bc1 addresses for withdrawals.
5617  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Sacrificing Decentralization for Scalability on: May 11, 2018, 05:33:56 AM
What are the examples of those "Centralized Algorithms"?
AFAIK, mining algorithms are designed to decentralize the transaction processing and production of coins in the first place.

What do you mean by "Algorithms that sacrifice decentralization for scalability"?
Easier algos which are more scalable than others can be centralized? I believe, no.
Whenever those powerful adversaries come up with an ASIC that can outperform the masses, the battle of the hashes will still continue, the coin will still be decentralized.
5618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: May 10, 2018, 07:51:27 AM
Last week, I saw recommended fees rise up to 40 sat/byte again when blocks were full. Fees are low again, but it won't last forever.
I can confirm this, I just recently tried to consolidate 3 inputs (SegWit) with 0.5sat/byte tx fee (Electrum approx it as "within the next 25 blocks")
and it got included in a block right after <10minutes, literally the next block after I broadcast the transaction.

I'm seeing blocks with 51 transactions right now (#522030)
With that, even 0sat/byte can be confirmed within hours (but I'm not recommending it).
5619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Question on: May 10, 2018, 07:31:47 AM
Why not ask here?
Members will probably tell you "not to mine using a laptop". I tell you that, as well.

Surely it can mine CPUmining-optimized algorithm (old CryptoNight is not the best choise for now) but laptops aren't designed to run 24/7 @ 80-100% usage,
that will probably strain the compactly assembled peripherals inside by the temperature.
Laptops with integrated high-end GPUs are not cheaper than Rigs with GPUs, in fact some are worth 10 times the price of the GPU itself.
Using those for mining is a no-go.

If the laptop is at disposal, go on. Earn few decimals of XMR(s) before throwing it in the trash.
5620  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can I slowdown someone's transaction? on: May 10, 2018, 04:08:46 AM
Are you trying to find any possible explanations to those "stuck transactions" last December? Or a conspiracy theory?

Theoretically, someone can if he's a miner or a pool operator that has the majority of the total hashrate (more than 51%) which could continuously mine about 6-10 blocks successively (100minutes approx) by not including that tx.
Any blocks mined by others has the chance to not include that transaction, thus, another set of blocks that excluded it (from that "someone") might follow up ~another hours of delay/waiting.

This is statistically impossible unless the total number of competing miners (not pool miners, but the pools and solo miners) fell to one-digit.
And apparently, if someone have that power, he wouldn't use it just for that.

TL;DR, it's a no.
