It has been very parabolic lately though.
62  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: how to recover litecoin sent to bitcoin address on: December 13, 2017, 03:00:42 AM
I don't think you will be able to recover it. Even though you have the private keys, it is for a slightly different wallet format (LTC vs BTC format).
No, you will be able to get recover those fund once you get the private key of the address where you send the LTC to a bitcoin address. As what I mentioned on my last post with the same priblem as this. You can use the electrum wallet for litecoin and import the private keys of the BTC there.

Okay, good to know. I was under the impression it wasn't possible.

All I can say is, HODL!
64  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How are crypto exchanges able to send Bitcoin with such low fees ? on: December 13, 2017, 02:47:31 AM
Exchanges don't write every single trade to the blockchains, they optimize it.

You will need Ubuntu 14.04 x64 to compile the latest stable version of Bitcoin Core: 0.15.1

Code:
//Cross Compile Windows Binaries For SoniCoin
//Ubuntu 14.04 x64
//CPU: 8 vCore
//RAM: 32768 MB

// Update and upgrade
sudo apt-get -y update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
//reboot the server

// Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake autotools-dev build-essential curl g++-mingw-w64-i686 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 git libboost-all-dev libevent-dev libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-java libssl-dev libtool libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 libqrencode-dev libqt5gui5 mingw-w64-i686-dev mingw-w64-x86-64-dev pkg-config protobuf-compiler qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools
//reboot the server

// Create working directory
mkdir github; cd github

//Download and install Berkeley DB 4.8
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
../dist/configure --enable-cxx
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8 /usr/include/db4.8
sudo ln -s /usr/include/db4.8/include/* /usr/include
sudo ln -s /usr/include/db4.8/lib/* /usr/lib

cd ~/github
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
cd bitcoin
git checkout master

// Read the code and make your changes to the name, supply, mining reward etc.
// Change the name of the coin - SoniCoin and rename all bitcoin and Bitcoin entries to sonicoin and SoniCoin
// as well as, for example BTC - BTS, Btc - Bts, btc - bts, bitcoin-cli - sonicoin-cli, bitcoin-tx => sonicoin-tx
// bitcoin-qt => sonicoin-qt, and all references to Bitcoin, except for the copyright notices.

That's it SoniCoin Core: 0.15.1 is born.

You should rather not proceed with the creation of this coin if you do not understand the information above and I would suggest that you read about the difference between cloning a coin and making it your own and creating a fork.

May the odds be in your favor!

H.

You can compile it using linux in virtualbox on any OS, however.

I think it's a good term but it can be a scary term for non technical outsiders.

Litecoin price against Bitcoin looking great!

How does this technology help innovate the energy used to make this coin for the climate?

70  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Faster blocks as an alternative to big blocks? on: December 13, 2017, 01:57:29 AM
Side-chain style approaches like lightning network are probably the way to go. Ethereum 2.0 is moving that direction.
71  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Does wallet.dat ever expose private keys? on: December 13, 2017, 01:46:20 AM
If a wallet is not encrypted, then the private keys are visible. If it is encrypted, the attacker would need the password or powerful means to break the encryption.
72  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Quantum Computer vs Bitcoin on: December 13, 2017, 01:39:47 AM
All cryptography will be threatened by this, not just bitcoin.

This is a fantastic book called Mastering Bitcoin that is fully available online for free:

It's good to start with some hashing power or a pool to get things off to a stable start.
76  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: New PoW method using factorization of large numbers. on: December 13, 2017, 01:13:29 AM
Here is a whitepaper about how to define a new proof of work system that gives preference to CPU's forever theoretically and is immune to velnerabilities like encryption algorithms are prone to.
(link is to wayback machine so you can trust visiting it)

https://web.archive.org/web/20171212224738/http://www.naturehackerproducts.com/2017/12/new-proof-of-work-pow-method-based-on.html?m=1

The take home message is to find a single factor (of a length defined by the difficulty) of a very large number (over 100 digits).

Sunce it is such a large number GPU's become very slow at attempting it.

Are you the author?
77  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: why bitcoin mining difficulty is increased? on: December 13, 2017, 01:03:02 AM
The cost of electricity versus the reward of mining has game theory behind it and is self-balancing.

Are you mining on a pool?
79  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How are bitcoin clients built? on: December 13, 2017, 12:49:49 AM
You can either try to embed the code from a reference node implementation and work on top of it. Your other option is to re-implement the parts of the node that you need for your client.

Is NXT near end of life? 

It may still have some steam left.
