Hi,

I'd like to know what most people here do in real life if you're willing to share  Smiley

Hello synaw.

I work for a casino as community assistant, i give live support on that site and 2 years ago i join to the devs team in a project called clambling, it was another casino based in clamcoin.

Now i like to give support for newbies in this forum and still thinking what will be my next project, but for sure will be crypto related.

6163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose a good casino among the many others? on: September 10, 2018, 04:05:06 PM
To choose a good casino you will search for the next 3 factors.

1.-BankRoll
2.-Provably Fair
3.-House Edge


While the casino have a biggest bankroll you can win more at end of the game, while more you can win, then gambling is more attractive, and a good provably fair system is important other ways users will feel like their bets was rigged, and while lower is the house edge will be better for users the users, if you can play games with 1% house edge that would be the ideal. with that % you only need luck on your side.

Las criptomonedas en frío, y nos ahorramos todos estos sustos y más que estén por llegar, además de bajarles los humos a ciertas exchanges que ya se creen más poderosas que incluso los bancos de los que queremos librarnos, no engordemos más a nuestro talón de aquiles, las exchanges.

Totalmente de acuerdo, bitcoin y sus servicios nacieron descentralizados y asi deberian mantenerse. Una lástima que se les suban los humos de esta manera, pero ya se dará cuenta la gente que ellos no son el unico exchanger.

En lo personal la verdad no me gusta enviar datos personales a nadie. Es una pena que se pusieran a requerir todo ese tipo de cosas, si un dia tienen problemas de seguridad, quien sabe a donde iran a parar todos esos datos.

Así es esto Thecopp, si los hackean queda expuesta la informacion de todos los usuarios que mandaron sus fotos y sus identificadores. La mejor forma de protegerse contra eso es no enviar nuestra información ya que al final en internet todos somos vulnerables.

Hi,

And thanks for the answer!

Actually my problem is that with that token file, it shouldn't reach millions of tries (and therefore > 2 days) but only about 20,000 combinations... so there's obviously something wrong in the way I wrote the token file.

use this command to verify the tokens file:

Code:
cat tokens.txt | wc -l

if the number is 20k, then the file is fine, other way you will need to find other way to build that list again. If you need some help making that brute force list send me a PM, and i will help you.

What are some of the mysteries you are curious about?

For example,
Who are the whales
How is the market manipulated
And so on

Can be any story about your experience related to crypto markets
From the over all sentiment to the big idealist/realist goals we are headed from and to

My curiosity is how the whales are playing between each other and how analysts see these behaviour and how they find it
I'm curious about the first whale, the biggest one, that whale who can destroy any market in 1 day, and haven't moved his coins yet. Yes... i'm talking about Satoshi Nakamoto. That man still holding his 980,000 Bitcoins, most of people think he will not move them, but if he do it, will be crazy for the markets. And that's one of the biggest mysteries with whales and markets.

1485000 sat to show the private key while the prize is only 500000 sat. House edge 200%

Once you have enough of the QR code shown, it would become possible to start bruteforcing the other unrevealed pixels and find the actual private key. If you're smart/technically capable, you could play +EV.

To play +EV you need some awesome skills, because a blurry code will not work.

6168  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A fun infographic explaining blockchain and Bitcoin. on: September 07, 2018, 11:03:11 PM
I created a blockchain infographic for everyone new to cryptocurrencies.

I've noticed that nearly 95% of people buying Bitcoin or other altcoins don't actually know how the blockchain works!

This will give you a basic understanding.

I can't post photos yet (working on rank), so check it out here.

Great job with that Infographic design, is really clear and the comments it have are right. There are lot of ways to explain the blockchain, i like to explain it as a data base, but your explanation about the chain made with blocks is a clean way to explain it, would be nice to have that image indifferent languages, for sure would be great help for those ones who are starting with bitcoin.
6169  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: We'd love to get some feedback for our new Start-up! on: September 07, 2018, 05:12:05 PM
Hello everyone,

My name is Liviu, I am a developer and have been working on various blockchain projects in the last year. I have just launched my own start-up called Dapptitude, our initiative is to gather and connect blockchain projects and start-ups with developers and teams worldwide. Here is the link of our website, I would love to get some feedback from you guys, thoughts and impressions, also if anyone is interested in working with us, I am more than open to hear from you.
http://dapptitude.io/

Kind Regards!

Great project and love the site design, clear rules and a great opportunity for developers to find a chance, and for big companies to find the right hands to land their big project. I will save the link, is a good job opportunity but i'm still newbie, i have already code some nice blockchain applications, but still lot to learn about it. With blockchain there is no limit, from coins to vote systems, from vote systems to nations. I will keep learning and getting better skills, then maybe i will give it a try to your site Wink 
6170  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Private sale, pre sale, public sale on: September 07, 2018, 08:36:33 AM
Maybe you can add another stage of an ICO, but not every ICO has it, even if the number is increasing these days...
In addition it's often not visible at the beginning if an ICO has this last step.


All the different stages can sometimes be confusing to investors, or anyone connected to the ICO, so let's walk through the stages of an ICO.
An ICO is usually divided into three parts;

1) Private sale
2) Pre sale
3) Public sale


4) Exit scam

- Exit scam: the last step of some ICOs is indeed the exit scam. This means the ICO owners are taking the raised money and vanish forever. The project will not be completed because this was never planned. The investors have lost all their money and the ICO owners are now rich. But on the onther side they have to hide now because they are criminals and being searched for stealing money.

To avoid investing in SCAM ICOs it's important to review every ICO in a very detailed way - or to stay away from ICOs. The money you haven't spent, you can't lose.  Wink Wink


Exit scam is one of the more important stages, fun to see how devs run with the money from the first 3 stages, is important because 90% from icos have that 4th stage, and yeah, they end like criminals and hide from law is the only way to enjoy that money because stealing still a crime in any country.

To know the coin/token sale stages isn't a reason to avoid getting scammed, doesn't matter at what stage you buy if at end all will gone.
6171  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I need to double 4,000 USD in 2 weeks on: September 07, 2018, 08:22:48 AM
I think gambling is the way to do it.

If you try to double with trading we know how this business rolls, while more risk more profit, but while more risk then more chance to lose all fast. At end there is no difference between trading and gambling. So i would recommend you to use a dice strategy or some poker luck to double that money, is the same like trading, if you have luck you will double up, if not, then say bye to the money.
6172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Clamcoin the PoS coin with better minning rate? on: September 07, 2018, 08:16:36 AM
I collected the following from this link https://coinsutra.com/proof-of-stake-cryptocurrencies/

OkCash --- Annual Return ~ 10.0%
DASH --- Annual Return ~ 7.5%
NEO  --- Annual Return ~ 5.5%
Reddcoin --- Annual Return ~ 5 %
NAV --- Annual Return ~ 5.0%
PIVX --- Annual Return ~ 4.8%
STRAT --- Annual Return ~ 1%

All of these will give you less than 0.1% daily.  The question is if you want to go with a more established coin and have less return but more security, or you want to go with a less established one and risk the coin to be dumped in the future.

Thanks for the list, i didn't know Dash was a PoS coin *_*

And yeah, 10% annually isn't a good offer at all, if we compare it with the 36% we get annually with clam, but you have a great point there... more established coin = less return, and clam with that high return doesn't stop the price dropping, so, i will take a look to the list you give me and search the most stable. Thanks for the info.   
6173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in business industry on: September 07, 2018, 08:09:15 AM
i'm not agree with you, investing is just another bitcoin application but isn't all you can do with Bitcoin. There is a big business called Mining behind the coin, is a business part of bitcoin and has nothing to do with trading. An with bitcoin you can buy assets or services, this is a kind of trade but is more like spending money than a trade. When you go to the shop with money you don't trade it for products on the store, you use it to buy those products, and that's bitcoin soul, is better if we see it like money.
6174  Other / Archival / Re: Mine a profitable coin that is under the radar? on: September 06, 2018, 01:46:43 PM
If you're into mining and looking for new coins to mine, I would like to suggest Merit (merit.me) to you. It aims to be the world's friendliest cryptocurrency. In order to be able to unlock your account and to mine MRT -- either via mining hardware or via growth rewards -- you need an invite. Enjoy checking it out. As invite code feel free to use nice and make a post in this thread (or send me a PM), in which you include your username as well as explain in one sentence why you would like to join. Then simply wait for your account to get unlocked. Happy mining!

What kind of Joke is this coin?

Let's talk about some points it have in the description:

Quote
Invite-Only - Promotes a healthy community by requiring each new user be invited and screened by an existing user.

If the coin is not for all, then please don't spread the word about it and play with your friends monopoly Wink

Quote
Cancellable Transactions - The ability for the sender of a transaction to cancel it after it has been sent, but before it has been accepted.

This is worst than the double spend, and this feature shouldn't exist because will be used to scam. Just stop to think why bitcoin doesn't allow it.

Quote
Decentralized Vaults - A blockchain-based vault that enables users to protect their assets through whitlelists, rate-limits, and additional forms of authentication.

This is the most centralized coin i have seen in my life, so, don't use the 'Decentralized' word to confuse users please.

Quote
Proof-of-Growth - Mining nodes achieve consensus in each block by agreeing on a fixed number of ambassadors that have grown the network with active users.

Two words: centralized & monopoly... Since you have the biggest amount of coins mining will be easy for the dev team and hard for the simple humans... i see it coming.

This coin is an abuse, smart guys behind it, too bad they only think in themselves  Undecided
6175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Quantum computer could kill bitcoin on: September 06, 2018, 01:25:06 PM

So, the new technology in some point will become a vulnerability for the old  technology, and developers should be one step forward to avoid this happen.


I sincerely believe that technology is not created to squash another, nor destroy it. Yes, i am not discounting the fact that quantum computing might break bitcoin's security but i doubt it will be intended to do so. Besides, there's a lot of intelligence poured unto the security dynamics of bitcoin that it was able to convince tech experts that it is nearly hack proof. The cryptographic keys it utilizes are not really of a simple matter otherwise, it would have not survived this much time. People are crazy smart and greedy, there were certainly a lot of attempts to decrypt bitcoin wallets and even attack on the blockchain was surely tried but none succeeded. I'm sure even a quantum computer could not help as the bitcoin core continues to develop and address vulnerabilities such as what you have noted.

Maybe squash other other technology is not the goal, the goal was just to make a super powerful computer to solve Genetics problems or Artificial Neuronal Networks, but lets remember bitcoin has been target of brute force attacks in the past, and if those hackers don't brute force the full network was because the hardware doesn't allow them to do it, but once we have the hardware to do it, then will be a big vulnerability.

Let's imagine one day we wake up and we see all the bitcoins moving to the same addy, in that scenario we can be sure some one already import all the privatekeys, and not even a fork can save us from that because all the addys would be already compromised.
6176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Is Clamcoin the PoS coin with better minning rate? on: September 06, 2018, 01:13:09 PM
Staking is the way with mine PoS coin, and i have seen those coins have different mining rates. Clam gives close to 0.1% daily, and other coins like Reddcoin gives 0.014% daily, so, i want to know which is the altcoin with better staking rate.

If you can share a comparative list or some info about other coins who have similar or better staking rate would be nice.
6177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I Convert My All Coins into Bitcoin or USD? on: September 06, 2018, 12:33:12 PM
What's going on the crypto market? The crypto market keeps bleeding. When will come the good time? My investment, bounty coin hold, everything has become a general amount, where it was big! I can't think what should I do? Because every plan of mine is failed. My hopes, my thoughts are zero now, because this year crypto is giving only panic, not success! I got nothing by hodling my coins! I really hate them who suggested me to hold, hodl!!

What do you think guys? Should I convert my coins into USD to prevent the price falling?

Well, hold is an option when you have a backup, if you have all your money on cryptos and the crash is a big pain for you, then you should divide, sell the half that way you will be able to avoid some of the crash. Other way if you think it will keep crashing, then you can sell all and wait for the crash, the buy and get more btc on the move.

Is a hard decision, i know, is hard to hold the coins and see how it crash, and is hard to sell them and see how it bump, just don't panic and move the money wise and with a reason. 
6178  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to find early investors ? on: September 06, 2018, 01:56:12 AM
Hello
I'm working on an application idea for this industry and prototype and documents will complete soon. I'm looking to find an investor for start ( developing, server, marketing, ...).
I'm not looking for big money or do an ICO.

what is your suggestion or idea?

thanks for your helping


You should launch that APP then talk to people about it, that way if some one get interested in your project you will get the investors. The secret is the way you present the APP, it should be something really attractive to make people follow the idea and feel it like a secure investment.

Get the investors is almost harder like develop the application, but if you believe in the idea show to the world whi it deserve a try.
6179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What's going on with this transaction-id? on: September 05, 2018, 11:48:27 PM
Ok, i found some one with the same problem and the explanation:

Quote
That transaction is a witness transaction, but 0.14.2 is interpreting it as non-witness, which is why the hash is the same as the txid and there are no inputs. 0.15.0 interprets it fine.

Please take a look to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11157 'Fail to decode transaction correctly.'
6180  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Should I teach myself Python on: September 05, 2018, 08:59:31 PM
I've been collecting eBooks from PackT publishing, and the latest free book is Scientific Computing with Python 3. They have a daily free book, and several of them are Python related, that's what stimulated my interest. If you want today's free book you've only got 7 hours to grab it, but they do cycle through the list, so it will turn up again. If you download it, don't forget to get the code file as well.

https://www.packtpub.com/packt/offers/free-learning



Great free books list, i take some about JS and node.

Python is a powerful tool, but i think JavaScript is better because is focused to online projects. At end it depends on the application that software will have, if you want to make an android app you'll need to learn other language than python or JS. and if you want to build a game maybe you will go with C based engines.
