5881  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHY DO YOU THINK NOT ALL ICO's PUSH THROUGH? on: March 01, 2018, 03:11:22 AM
First, the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) maybe similar to IPO but the whole platform is unregulated and the system that gives coins according to holder's stakes makes a perfect breeding ground for low/no budget scammers.

With that, real companies and entrepreneur groups struggle to be successful with their ICOs.
But if you think about it, they didn't even need ICO to start their business, if they were an established company they must have the budget to start.

People, especially today doesn't trust ICOs.
Most of those can't push through simply because they need better advertisement.
Not just ICO, anything can succeed with advertising. Whether if it was a scam or not, as long as they are reaching the market with eyecandies, there will be a high chance to succeed.

5883  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you believe John McAfee is right about Bitcoin hitting $500,000 in 3 years? on: February 28, 2018, 06:12:31 AM
He runs several ICO projects as an advisor and all the projects he runs are very successful.
His company is a well-known company so trust becomes capital for the success of his project. I think it's very realistic.
No, he is influential and shamelessly using social media to advertise those ICO to success.
For him to say that "Bitcoin will hit $500k" spells a possible new Pump attempt to Bitcoin, this is too unrealistic but, a price surge might be possible after a month.
As soon as we see another $13,000+ BTC price, expect the small fishes to follow that buy signal. And boom, a Pump.

Seriously, a $500,000 BTC even after 5 years is theoretically impossible.

5885  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: What do you think of this new website? on: February 28, 2018, 05:20:12 AM
Your correct on some part. BTW, I am just a supporter hoping to publish their ICO here on BTT since there's no official ANN post for them. They will act just like paypal or stripe, but in cryptocurrency.
I looked at the site. So this thread isn't about feedback and suggestions but an ANN thread in disguise?

The project's goal will be phenomenal if it can reach the mainstream.
Although this isn't the first, as long as they can stick to their roadmap and with the right advertising, success will follow.

#3, for me, online payments must be done offchain (via services like coins or exchanges) to avoid delays especially at high network load.
This can make zero transaction fees too because there will be no coins going out and in their system, or they're just doing this in the background but only claiming that we need fees.

Otherwise, cryptocurrencies alone can be used without these type of services as long as the online stores are accepting them.
So what's the point of being the broker if it just process the payments on-chain?
5886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why are people so negative about mining? Stop it... on: February 27, 2018, 07:21:33 AM
-snip-
Uh, maybe it just have been happening on its own based on how mining was designed by Crytocurrencies like Litecoin.
A specialized mining equipment like ASICs will always makes the true nature of mining based on how digital currencies are designed out of track.
Same as Pools (Pools are evil too)

ASICs are made to step-up one's game.
Pools are made for standard miners to battle ASICs.
Both makes the cryptocurrency mining a fukcd-up game.

This needs to stop, No  Roll Eyes.
5887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Patience is a virtue... and the key to mining on: February 27, 2018, 06:53:02 AM
That patience sometimes is bad especially if the person is a total newbie or a no-brainer.
There are times when you are patiently waiting for the payout, something will came into your mind like "I could have getting more than this". And it could be true if we know the right configurations to maximize the profit, which makes patience not the key to mining.

All a miner things need is a complete plan backed up by patient and extensive research right before the plan.

It has been more than 12 months since my friend which is a miner bought a gpu and the last price he paid was $210 for a rx 580. So yes, patience is a virtue, when we talk, he tells me, he always laughs when he sees people paying $1000 for a rx 580 hehe
That's not the "patience" he's talking about, but still agreeable Cheesy
5888  Economy / Economics / Re: Philadelphia's soda tax is crushing the city’s beverage business on: February 26, 2018, 06:32:13 AM
Those said taxes was for the benefits of their own citizens.
Sometimes we have to see the bigger picture to notice the positives than the immediate negatives we see.

Here in my Country, the Govt just proclaimed higher tax rate to sweets and sodas. Consumers and Retailers are complaining as expected.

We, Digital Currency owners will complain if ever a regulation was declared.
Depending on what is regulated, it could take some time for others to accept what's left of their "freedom".
(T/N: If you want real freedom, expect a lawless society)
5889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Georgia Lawmakers Propose Tax Amendment That Allows Bitcoin Payments on: February 26, 2018, 06:03:21 AM
"news.bitcoin.com" isn't that a subdomain of bitcoin.com where Bitcoin Cash was proclaimed the real bitcoin?
Is that "Bitcoin" they are talking about in the news BTC?

However, the webpage seems positively focused on cryptocurrency news. Good job for them.

Now, I would like to see my Country dictating the same proposal.
It's nice to be able to use Bitcoin for paying tax than just for online payments and remittance.
5890  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Can a bad graphics card crash windows? new to mining problem on: February 26, 2018, 05:34:38 AM
In my own experience, a typical bad card will end up crashing the system or freeze the OS.
Either of the two, the problem will always results in a crash. No BSOD.
If you can connect a monitor to the GPU, sometimes a bad GPU displays weird color patters or lines, some has fast heating problems.
You found one gtx 1060 take bluescreen.
No, Bluescreen of Death is mostly caused by a software error or incompatible driver. Some from a short.
5891  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Backup Electrum account on: February 25, 2018, 11:54:03 AM
You can copy the wallet file (wallet_default/wallet_1/*name of your wallet)to restore your wallet to the new PC, but the settings wont be restored.
Usually it's in "C:\Users\*PC_Username\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets" for Windows desktop version if you didn't change the location.
Make sure that you know the seed and kept a written copy in case of data accidents.
5892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin cash on: February 25, 2018, 07:53:44 AM
Lol, Next we'll be seeing Litecoin Gold then Litecoin Segwit 2x.
Litecoin Cash = Digital Dollar Printer

Seriously, the world of crypto had turned into a scamfest. This reminds me of the internet back in Late 2000's, scam add banners everywhere.
Then, it came up to what we have now, thanks to regulations.
Perhaps, Digital currencies need a different type of regulation.
5893  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: New site, need feedback please... on: February 25, 2018, 06:25:18 AM
I tried and it actually worked, simple as that.
The site is clean and neat, but I expect that you will add advertisement banners after getting enough visitors. Choose the best least annoying place for them.
It's ready for mobile too, the menu changes into a tab when viewed in a small screen, quite nice.
Loads fast even when searching for fork's blockchains, it took less than a sec (is this actually searches multiple blockchain?).

If you can at least add CSS styling for better visual, users might pay a visit..... for eye-candy.

5896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: To Move Wallets one device to the other on: February 24, 2018, 07:14:26 AM
Just send the funds to the other devices' wallets. 1 satoshi / byte won't hurt that much.

The most easy way would be to export all private keys and import them again to the new devic(es).

This only works if all the private keys are in the same format, example WIF.
That's the more complicated way than restoring the seed phrase or reinstalling the app (import wallet.dat/wallet file).
Imagine if he got more than 30 addresses with funds in that wallet.
5897  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Coins that have already hit their max supply on: February 24, 2018, 05:50:31 AM
It's nice to know what is happening in their mining economy due to the transactions-based rewards per block.
Ethereum and Bitcoin will reach that level somewhere in the future, good thing that we can analyze those for reference.

thanks

another to the list

Weird, ECC's Roadmap in their site is still at 2017.
5898  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: LOST MY PIN : need help recovering on: February 24, 2018, 05:19:33 AM
Actually, rooting wont delete your phone's data. Installing a custom ROM does.

And I highly doubt that moving your Electrum to an SD Card which you will insert in a phone with root access can find you solutions in recovering the PIN.
The option "move to SD" doesn't move the entire application's data, only the resources and other settings are moved. Notice that if you move any application to an SD card then remove the card, when you reinstalled that app (apk file, offline), your personal data like game levels are still intact.
This depends on the application and Electrum must be like that too.

You can make a backup though, *Find someone to root your device (do not attempt it yourself / do not replace the ROM and RecoveryMode). Install a backup app like Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox Pro or anything that saves the entire app data including the root data.
From that backup (zip), you can ask  anyone to "find your PIN" but it seems impossible.
At least you have a backup.

Who will use this? Coinhive has been receiving a lot of negative reviews and criticism to their API, this does it two-folds worse than them.
Thanks for the code  ;)
But still, this board is only for Altcoin mining hardware (parts and GPUs) and softwares.

You can pay cheap freelancers from freelancing sites in USD, it's not that hard to accomplish, just saying.
