601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [UNO] Unobtanium Info & Discussion - Update to 0.10 Wallet - Merge Mine w/BTC! on: January 13, 2016, 02:49:54 PM
@learminer, @siameze, @cryptapus

Thanks for the compile info.  I will reach out to Yobit again in a little while to see if we can get something going.

I'll also forward the install link that you provided.

Thanks again!


Cryptapus does raise a good point, if they are having issues compiling the wallet then one should really think about whether it is an actual secure exchange.

I have not had any withdraw issues or noticed any weird behavior there, seems to work quite well. Perhaps they have added new members to their tech team, who knows.

All exchanges work well until they don't.

I would play along with listing Uno on Yobit, but they give me the creeps. They are so focused on listing a stream of pnd coins and then dumping them from the exchange. Who are those guys anyway. Even the people we seemingly know who are running exchanges in countries with real court systems like Gox (Japan) Mintpal (UK) and Cryptsy (US) -- doesn't seem to make much difference.  The regulation theatre of bitcoin exchanges seems to be more for the benefit of the government ban hammer than it is for the protection of investors.

I like thinning out the herd and relieving scammers of their Bitcoin, so that's why I am on the YoBit wagon. A nice platform to take shitcoins acquired on the wider internet and dump. There are a couple of handy little bots on github that will happily eat a steady stream of garbage and shit BTC quite reliably with a bit of massaging.

I use a piece of free software called Keyscrambler (I'm using IE 9), this encrypts all login details/passwords as I am entering them. Obviously I use a security suite (Microsoft Security Essentials) plus Threatfire free version for backup but I like this add-on for a little additional security ;o)


As noted in the article and in my replies on other comments there is no tool that will protect you from sufficiently sophisticated keyloggers or malware. I'm concerned that people are getting a false sense of security and as a result dropping their guard.

I'll update this post if I stop laughing from reading `IE 9` and `Microsoft Security` in the same statement.

No coincidence, he even admitted it himself:

Gavin had just received the alert keys to the Bitcoin network. Right afterwards, he tells Satoshi that he is visiting the CIA. Satoshi leaves for good coincidentally.

This is quoted from the defunct Bruce Wagner Bitcoin podcast:

Bruce Wagner : When was the last time you chatted to satoshi <laugh>
Gavin Andresen: Um... I haven't had email from satoshi in a couple months actually. The last email I sent him I actually told him I was going to talk at the CIA. So it's possible , that.... that may have um had something to with his deciding


Based on this, do you think Gavin fully meets Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113609.0


Ah! thanks for the link to that. I still cannot fathom how Gavin expected a meeting with the fucking CIA would help advance the cause at all?

Was Satoshi filled with regret, saying to himself "Why the fuck did I ever trust this nitwit?" Grin

We tried to get UNO on YoBit awhile back, but their tech support said that they could not get the wallet compiled.

I'm not technical, is that legit? Or, did they just not want the coin there?

I'd love to have it on YoBit as well!
Hard to say from a distance. When I last compiled UNO on Ubuntu Linux a few months ago it was no problem. I followed the guide by siameze (thanks for that) and it just worked.

BUT I had just set up a clean VM for that purpose and fetched all the specific stuff required for UNO. If they're using an existing system I guess they might run into a similar problem I did when trying to build UNO on Windows: that turned out to be a lot more complicated, mostly because it was difficult getting just the right versions of all the dependencies. If you get a wrong version of some library (too old/too new) then the build will fail. Altcoins based on bitcoin core 0.9 will require different libs than those based on 0.10 (like UNO) or 0.11 and other coin-specific changes might also come into play - that could be a problem they ran into.

tl;dr: on a fresh Linux VM building the UNO client can be done in a few easy steps, but on existing setups or other OSes a lot can go wrong...

Clear instructions can be found here:

https://github.com/unobtanium-official/Unobtanium/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

If these instructions don't work it would be helpful for them to drop by for assistance.

My opinion: Any exchange that can't seem to get it compiled should not be trusted with your money. They don't know what they're doing.

Any exchange that is hosting wallets on a non *nix OS should be completely ignored for incompetence.

And of course I'll remind you that if your coins are on an exchange they aren't your coins anymore... Smiley


This is the correct answer. Grin

Yes it is. People must know not to trade with this guy. Also, I have filled a police report in Singapore and soon I will file a fraud report with Hong Kong police.

Thank you for confirmation. Since I have responded to your post here I will leave feedback on this profile and urge you to do the same.

Leaving a trust rating won't help much anymore, 30k is an enormously high amount. He probably disappeared with that money and won't appear again on this forum.


Nice dox OP

Leaving a trust rating might have no effect on recovery of funds, but is done for documentational and historical purposes.

If anyone gets in touch with them, YoBit is welcome to contact me regarding compilation issues. Dependencies on existing systems can be a little frustrating but if they don't mind sharing what system they are compiling for, it is trivial to barf out a custom makefile so it builds with no hassle.

608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gavineries on: January 13, 2016, 12:39:37 PM
Keeping track and discussing the Chief Scientist "Gavineries".


Some referenced list would have included:

- Meeting with CIA

- Association with bankrupted "Bitcoin Foundation" and renown scammers a la Mark Karpelese
- MIT eg. US Gov payroll
- Hearnia wingman in contentious social engineered fork attempt branded as "Bitcoin XT"


I always found it quite interesting that Satoshi vanished right after Gavin announced his meeting with the CIA. Coincidence?
609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Analysis and list of top big blocks shills (XT #REKT ignorers) on: January 13, 2016, 12:31:47 PM


I hope that they get 75% miner support right away so that I can watch their miners saying, "Oh shit, we just mined a ton of worthless altcoins!".


I can't wait either. As iCEBREAKER pointed out a few posts back this is mearly a wedge attempt, but at least this time with "Bitcoin Classic" they don't mince words and admit they want to fork Bitcoin.

Let 'em I say. I'll just grab some popcorn and watch it play out like all reddit-fueled drama does: "Yay, we did it!" euphoria followed by "Oh shit!" when holders of the Bitcoin Classic altcoin realize they were socially engineered.
610  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transaction Disappeared and no longer exists. on: January 13, 2016, 12:26:31 AM

Interesting...   So will this work itself out? I check the transaction I made shortly after this one and it doesn't share any of the same inputs.

Edit:

I did find the double spend... I have another transaction from just a few minutes ago that is sharing 4 of the same inputs, it has yet to be confirmed.

How the hell did this happen?  Do I just wait?

What client are you using? I have seen some interesting tx's like this recently and am curious. Nodes such as those run by blockchain.info reject such tx's for having high-S values but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

I am using Electrum 2.5.4




I haven't got to test this wallet yet unfortunately, it crashed on my new computer just last night when I tried installing Undecided

Keep an eye on it and eventually it will clear the mempool I suppose. I am going to do more research but perhaps someone else with latest Electrum experience can chime in. They also have a very helpful irc channel on freenode, #electrum

EDIT: One of the tx's may eventually be confirmed if it gets broadcast around the network. If the coins show back up in your wallet, you still may want to move the coins to another address you control, as someone could see the raw tx and rebroadcast it.
612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Transaction Disappeared and no longer exists. on: January 12, 2016, 11:59:30 PM
It appears to be a double spend or malleated tx, see here:

Is UNO still mineable in solo mode via my Antminer S3? Cry

You need to add UNO on Yobit.net as well. Currently they are having a better traction than Bittrex and Cryptopia.

Hope UNO overtakes Litecoin in the long run. Wink

I have actually stopped to do some trading on YoBit since signing up there. I have already made 3 withdraws of around 1 BTC and they processed within minutes all 3 times. I like cryptopia too, don't get me wrong. ( Haven't really used it since the HAM takeover though, no real need.)

Yeah those things are just to appeal to newbies and people who don't know any better, IMO.I'd rather just save $365 by doing it this way instead.

Ha! I remember that post, I kek'd pretty hard at it. 21co wasn't too amused, I imagine they don't want the people that funded that horseshit to find out how horribly misspent their funds were.

It's the North American Bitcoin Conference, Miami, usually one of the larger events of the year.

Let's stop prancing around the issue (which is not to say we gay aardvarks don't like prancing around, we do, we're gay). Even back in Bitcoin's salad days, the events were pretty cringy -- basically poorly-attended, dull bronnycons, but with shit-tier cosplay and even fewer human females.
Now? Judging by this, not worth the candle* Sad

Bitcoin demographic being what it is, this forum is the best, most convenient and public place to have our debate. Frankly, to me it just seems you're trying to make this, our big debate, as private as possible, to sweep it under the rug.




@franky1: http://www.nonprofithub.org/starting-a-nonprofit/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-start-a-nonprofit/
If you feel there's an urgent need for a Foundation, The Gay Aardvarks are here to help. We will incorporate and could start operations immediately, see our previous posts for details. We'll deal with the paperwork, just send us your money.
Ty.

*Unless, of course, you fly me out buisness or better, put me up in a nice hotel & throw in sum per diem foldin' money. Then no prob. You can just file it under "misc."

I support the GayAardvarkFoundation as a way forward.  Grin

In all seriousness, it was kinda sad to see the coindesk article. So much wasted money and no advancements to speak of in Bitcoin space. I still don't believe there is any hope of rescuing the "Bitcoin Foundation" as it's reputation is far too tarnished.
616  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Bitcoin Needs 21 Inc to Deliver in 2016? on: January 12, 2016, 07:39:39 PM
the 21 Bitcoin Computer , is perhaps best considered a prototype of what’s to come. A mining chip with a Raspberry Pi attached (and some other bells and whistles), it invites developers to build products and services that make use of its ability to provide a steady stream of bitcoin to owners, and demand bitcoin from others.
It’s easy to conceive how such a product could be powerful at scale should consumer devices come to be embedded with bitcoin, as common as other protocols like Bluetooth and near-field communication (NFC).

what do you think will be built with the 21 Bitcoin Computer?

Just don't set that expensive little toy that has no case on any metal surface, or bye-bye! It seems that getting millions in V.C. money doesn't buy you engineers smart enough to develop a case for the thing.

Amazon feedback for this thing reads like a reddit circlejerk thread too. I wouldn't buy one based on what I see there.

618  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Free trading scripts for BTC trading on: January 12, 2016, 03:04:02 PM
Can you recommend any free software or scripts to build BTC trading platform?  


I am using https://github.com/butor/blackbird it is a pretty nice trading bot. Thread with discussion, etc can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985660.0


EDIT: I may have misinterpeted your question, you are looking for exchange scripts or platforms for trading strategies ?


Correct Smiley

I`m looking for scripts to launch BTC buy/sell platform like for example Bitstamp.com

There are a couple of open-source exchange platforms you could possibly modify to suit your needs:

https://github.com/peatio/peatio

and

https://github.com/txbits/txbits

come to mind. I haven't really tried either but have only heard of the projects in passing. txbits is written in node.js it appears so I would wager it is the friendliest of the two.

Thank you!

No problem! I hope that was reasonably close to what you are looking for. The latter github link looks friendliest if you are just starting out, you could easily spin up a test server with a few crapcoin daemons to try it out.

If this is more than a learning experience then don't forget not to skimp on server security, having any kind of cryptocurrency on a server will make you a target by people who would like nothing better than to relieve you of your coins.

Good luck!  Cool
619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Analysis and list of top big blocks shills (XT #REKT ignorers) on: January 12, 2016, 02:33:44 PM

I'm afraid you noobs and authority cravers handle bitcoin to USG and corporations for the Big Brother Finale. (FASCIST! Angry)

Bitcoin is about freedom, but freedom is not about democracy.
It is about the individual (as in the individual must be able to mine, run a full node, access the blockchain and cryptographic signatures by himself).
Not the illusion of the greater number of stupid 'marketed' sheeple precipitating the rest into the abyss.

Bitcoin consensus mechanism fights exactly this by preventing social/populist coup over its protocol.

You are stupid if you think any fork attempt will be successful as the previous ones lamely failed and with not even as much people involved as of now.

Bitcoin's protocol is not some incorporated IOS that has to be upgraded every two weekstm.


This is the core of why I don't agree with a lot of the proposals out there. They seek to weaken Bitcoin's cryptography in some way or pass off complete signatures as not necessary. Without a fully verified node you may as well be using pebbles recorded in the rockchain,

You do realize that Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) was a major section in Satoshi's original white paper right?
It was part of the Bitcoin vision from day 1.  So where you do get this shit from?

SPV doesn't weaken the cryptography at all.  You're spouting nonsense.



I have no issues with SPV wallets in general. It is possible to use one that verifies off your own personal server.
