661  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for $1k No interest Loan, Collateral Available! on: February 01, 2023, 03:55:59 PM
Loan Amount > 1k USDT

Interest > No

Collateral > 25k BLT (Worth $1350) (will be able to top up more in case the rate decreases)

You can check the rate on Matcha > https://www.matcha.xyz/markets/1/0x107c4504cd79c5d2696ea0030a8dd4e92601b82e/0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

PayBack > 1 March 2023

If anyone can help out, I will pm my USDT address.

alterra57 is correct, that token has only about $1k of daily volume which makes it nearly worthless as collateral.  In the unlikely case you were to default on the loan, the lender might crash the market attempting to trade $1350 worth of the token.

Not that it matters much in your case; your rank and trust level might be enough for someone to give you a loan without collateral but your unwillingness to pay interest makes it unlikely.

But I don't want to digress from the topic now..

You're not digressing from the topic, this thread is about American Football regardless of where the game is played or watched.  The popularity of the game or the NFL, in the US or other countries is well within the scope.

I like Tom Brady also, even though he's never played for a team that I root for.  I hope he gets his life on track actually sticks with it this time.  I imagine the 49ers would love for him to join as a backup to Brock Purdy, which would be very helpful to the youngster's career, but honestly I don't see that happening.  I doubt Brady would settle for a backup roll, and I expect him to focus on his family for now.  There will be a time when we see him regularly in a broadcasting roll, of that I have no doubt.
663  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Request address balance from any Electrum server on: February 01, 2023, 03:11:26 AM
Importing watch only is a manual process. I am looking for a programmable solution. In which we can send requests to electrum servers. Like simple http or json requests

You'll have to forgive me, I'm trying to guess what you're trying to do, you haven't given us many details.  It sounds like you want to take the addresses from your website sales, and automatically check their balances.  You can do that with the Electrum client.  You can copy the entire list of public addresses and paste them into a new or existing watch-only wallet.  It's manual, but doesn't take very much time.  You don't have to do one address at a time.

I imagine you (or someone) can write a script that exports your web sales, extracts the addresses, and creates a new wallet with those addresses.  It's beyond my skills, but I reckon it's possible.  As for something that already exists that will do what you want, I don't know about anything.
664  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Connecting to a node? on: January 31, 2023, 10:52:39 PM
Okay, that doesn't help much. How can she optain the server IP?

The IP address of her local machine will only allow you to connect to her server if you are on the same local network, in other words plugged into her router or using her wifi.  If you want to connect from outside her local network she'll need the internet IP address from her router, and she needs to enable port forwarding to tell her router where to send queries to the Electrs port (usually 50001.)  Take note, if her internet service provider uses CGNAT, you won't be able to connect to her server from outside her local network unless she has a virtual private network set up, or uses TOR.  TOR is by far the easiest way to get around CGNAT for personal use.

To find the server's local network IP address use the following commands:

Linux:
Code:
ip add

Windows:
Code:
ip config

To find the internet IP address the easiest way is to log into the router's configuration page, you'll find it listed there.  Once in the router's configuration page you should be able to set up port forwarding there.

She needs to setup a reverse proxy

No, she doesn't.  Not unless she has a VPN running on a cloud server or some complex set up of that sort, but given the questions being asked here I gather that's not the case.  The only reason she would even need such a set up is if she didn't want to use TOR and has a service provider that issues IPs through Carrier Grade Network Access Translation (CGNAT,) such as satellite internet, cable internet, or 5G internet services.

If her ISP uses telephone-based land-line connections like ADSL or Fiber, her router will be issued an IP address that's reachable from outside the local network.
665  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Request address balance from any Electrum server on: January 31, 2023, 10:29:53 PM
Hello
Can we request an Electrum server to tell us balance of an address? As electrum software does this by querying these servers to get balances of addresses so can we do this manually in browser or through some short code? What will be the process?
Can Electrum servers be used to confirm payments for website invoices?
Thanks

Yes, there is.  Install and run your own blockchain explorer.  Mempool.space is easy enough to install.  Blocstream can also be installed locally and used as a private blockchain explorer.  The easiest thing to do is follow Charles-Tim's suggestion; i.e. import all the public addresses into an Electrum watch-only wallet.
666  Economy / Lending / Re: I need a 220 usd loan, please (filled) on: January 30, 2023, 06:21:44 PM
So i'm not allowed to post here ?   i just see what i see and that is that this guy got a 220 dollar loan  WITHOUT collateral   so i'm wondering if this guy can do this without much of a story  why  can't i get this in a 10 month period  you gotta wonder about this

I also have many bonusses  i'm level chest 4 at pokerstars   last  of the max level   of chests  can proof this does that mean i have a credible story here for a loan?   if so  then sure go ahead and will show you what i have 

Also what argument is this   If you had worked 1-2 weeks in that time you would have earned that money yourself 
so that would mean that any guy that asks for a loan   better think twice and maybe  should have worked a few weeks for the money he asked to loan from somebody

That's just bs  i'm sorry

If i wouldn't need it anymore i wouldn't have asked for it for 10 months straight   do i ? 

If you haven't been able to get the money you need in the past 10 months how were you planning on repaying the loan?  Oh yeah, you weren't.  You're just bitter because this newbie was able to scam someone but you were known to be a scammer from the start.  I mean, trying to sell fake KYC documents and offering the same KYC documents as collateral isn't a red-flag or anything.

FWIW, no one should have given the OP a loan, but unfortunately Edwardard will learn that lesson the hard way.  And no one will give you a loan because you're obviously a shady scumbag selling stolen KYC documents, and you're a bitter whiney troll on top of that.

what happened to purdy??

He got hit in his throwing elbow, and is out for now.  He's currently standing on the sideline with his helmet on, I'm sure he wants to come back in.  The Eagles just scored again...   We're giving this game away with penalties and stupid officiating.  The Eagles already stole one touchdown.  That 4th down pass on the opening drive should have been revied in the booth, and should have been a turn-over-on-downs.
669  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Running Electrum server: what can I do now? on: January 28, 2023, 04:33:39 PM
Do you see anything interesting there? Any line related to connected peers?

That's very similar to what I see because my config file includes the setting log_filters="INFO".  That's relatively basic logging including system errors, problems connecting to bitcoin, transaction processing, or errors from connected clients.  If no connected wallets are experiencing errors you won't see any client connection details.

To escalate logging see here: https://github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/upgrading.md

670  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Running Electrum server: what can I do now? on: January 28, 2023, 01:53:44 AM

Code:
tail -f /path/to/data_dir/electrs.log

If anyone connects to your server the log file will provide the queries requested.
Do you mean "db/bitcoin" path for data dir? Can't find "electrs.log" file...
There I have "LOG" file (without extension) and some LOG.old.<XXXXXX> files.

Yeah, the log file is indeed named "LOG" all caps, no extension.  Sorry about that.  I was at work when I posted before and I couldn't remember the exact file name.

In my case:

Code:
tail -f /var/lib/electrs/bitcoin/LOG

Edit: Ctrl+c to stop tailing.

672  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Running Electrum server: what can I do now? on: January 27, 2023, 06:54:21 PM
I'm running an Electrum server (under Tor) using electrs and I successfully connected an Electrum wallet to it.

Good job, electrs has been good to me for personal use.

Now, is it discoverable by others than me?

It is, but without advertising your onion address it's not likely anyone else will connect to it.  At least that's what I've noticed.

How can I see if any client connect to my server?

As others have mentioned you can use Prometheus, but personally I've never done so.  You can follow the log file with the utilities that are included with Linux such as the journalctl (assuming your starting electrs with systemd,) or the tail commands.  For example:
Code:
journalctl -f -u electrs.service

Or
Code:
tail -f /path/to/data_dir/electrs.log

If anyone connects to your server the log file will provide the queries requested.

jollygood and scamvirus have done nothing wrong

I don't mean to pick on JollyGood or scamvirus, but whether they have done something wrong or not is subjective.  Personally, if I came here and claimed I made a million dollars in tulip bulb futures, and one of them asked for proof I'd tell them to pound sand.  Who the hell are they to demand proof of any claim I make here?  And I certainly wouldn't expose an address to a bunch of busybodies where I received 10BTC.  

Was the claim damaging to anyone on this forum?  Did anyone with half a brain believe that the claim was anything but an exaggeration?  If the claim wasn't made in thread regarding 1xbit would have the OP been tagged?  Let's not forget that the OP made the outlandish claim in a post which was intended to complain about not receiving a withdrawal.  So instead of helping him resolve a potential scam we harass him for an exaggerated claim?

I also don't mean to defend the OP because this thread is nothing but a temper tantrum, and the OP is engaging in the same misuse of the trust system that he claims JollyGood and scamvirus are engaging in.


@MrBrightside1
Grow a thicker skin, read LoyceV's guide on how to use the trust system, and then exclude those who's use of the trust system you find objectionable.

675  Economy / Reputation / Re: SBF-Ross Ulbricht on: January 26, 2023, 09:30:00 PM
DPR was a patsy and a victim of entrapment.  SBF bilked billions from average people, walked into court carrying a stuffed backpack, and walks out (without the backpack) and has his trial postponed for 10 months.  There's nothing right about any of this.  The US government is the most corrupt it's ever been.  The CIA being involved in Kennedy's assassination is small potatoes in comparison to the outlandish subterfuge the swamp gets away with these days.  This corruption dates back to the 90's and every president since (with the exception of Trump) is culpable.  And to make matters worse, there's little to no scrutiny, skepticism, or critical thinking from the general public.  Most of us are drinking the Cool Aid.  

Just off the top of my head, here's a brief list of swamp rats attacking their political enemies, shielding their super donors, and other evidence of mass corruption enriching and empowering the swamp:

  • Trump's alleged Russian collusion
  • Senior FBI officials actually colluding with Russia
  • Trump's alleged Ukrainian collusion
  • The Military Industrial Complex telling us it's immoral not to collude with Ukraine
  • The Climate Industrial Complex enriching China wile they strip mine lithium which contributes to carbon emissions
  • China's decimation of the Amazonian rain forest (remember when that was evil?  Now it's not even talked about)
  • Gretchen Whitmer's alleged kidnapping attempt which turned out to be an FBI entrapment attempt
  • Jan-6 rioters rotting in prison (some without trial) for two years
  • Black Lives Matter getting rich off of tragedies that are politically convenient
  • Edward Snowden ostracized for exposing the government for spying on it's own citizens
  • Julian Assange ostracized for reporting on government corruption and unauthorized military actions
  • Bradley Manning honored for getting US solders killed (or "changing" his gender, I don't know)
  • Jeffery Epstein beating child-sex trafficking charges
  • Jeffery Epstein's "suicide" before he can face child-sex trafficking charges again and expose who-knows-what about we know who
  • The Mainstream Media's lies, obfuscation, lies, omissions, lies, distractions, and more lies

If the US Federal government announced that the sky is blue, I would be suspicious that it is anything but blue.
676  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Unstoppable wallet {User experiences} on: January 26, 2023, 07:34:06 PM
Despite the wallet's open-source nature, this is not something you can check. I don't think you can. Their servers may or may not be logging everything you do. I wonder how they could prove that isn't the case Huh

I see that the wallet is open source, but why isn't the server software available for review, regardless of it's licensing?  Again, I may have missed it while I perusing their GitHub, but I dug fairly deep and didn't see anything relating the SPV server they use to connect wallets to nodes.  Claims of "genuine privacy" and "decentralized" that are not only unsubstantiated, but also used in ways that come off as deceptive makes me nervous.  This is the kind of stuff that breeds distrust in the cryptosphere.

I want to apologies to Husires for not following his local rule; i.e. I did not download, install, or use the wallet app, and I will not until my concerns about these claims are addressed.  Honestly, I'm growing more suspicious of this service, and the pretty website and polished-looking app isn't helping.
677  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Unstoppable wallet {User experiences} on: January 26, 2023, 03:05:43 PM
Thank you for bringing this up, I hadn't heard of this wallet before.  After doing a bit of reading I came up with a few questions, but the most critical pertains to this claim:

~Features:
  • Genuinely Private: There are no servers keeping user accounts or any kind of identifiers.

The claim makes it sound like you don't need to connect to a server, but how could that be possible?  How do you transact with a blockchain without connecting to a server or a full node?  My admittedly limited knowledge gives me the impression that, technically speaking that is not possible.  Certainly no one is running full nodes for each coin on their mobile device.  That would be impractical.

Then I got to thinking about the semantics of the claim, and that made me a bit suspicious: "There are no servers keeping user accounts or any kind of identifiers."  So a server does exist, but it doesn't log sensitive information?  If so, who's running the server, Horizontal Systems?  Doesn't that make it centralized?

If Horizontal Systems is running the server software, is it available for peer review?  Can I run a server myself?  I don't see a server package listed in Horizontal Systems' GitHub, maybe I just didn't look hard enough.
678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: January 25, 2023, 09:38:58 PM
Yeah it should be a pretty good game.  Both games this weekend are pretty damn exciting and all four teams in the games really deserve being there.  As much as I believe in the 49r's, it's not going to be easy for a rookie QB to be able to take down a team as complete as Philly is.  If I had to put money on the game, I think I'm siding with Philly.  Just because of the rookie QB situation and coming in just 7 games or so ago.  

Regardless, can't wait to watch the games.

If 49ers win I guarantee it will be because Kittle has a huge day.

Kittle and McCaffrey both will need to have a good day for the 9ers to proceed.  The Eagles' run-defense is ranked 16th, right in the middle of the league, so the 9ers' run game will likely be the deciding factor.  That's one of the reasons I'm not so worried about the fact that we're going into the NFC Championship with a rookie QB.  Don't get me wrong, the 9ers have had issues playing on the east coast, so it'll have to be error-free football for them to get the win.

But we all know that defense wins championships, so the our D needs to keep our offense working within the capabilities of a good run game.  If the Eagles rack up the score as they've been doing so far this year it'll be difficult for our offense to keep up.

Regardless of who wins, this is turning out to be a pretty good season of playoff football.  Last year's playoffs were full of amazing matches, and this year has been pretty exciting as well.
