6602  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Thinking about a raffle for a loaded 1BTC 1 oz Silver Gold-plated Lealana on: June 23, 2019, 01:58:07 PM
Is the coin graded?

Maybe....  I have a similar coin up for sale at just about the same price
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5152586.0

Wonder if it would be easier to do something like this than a straight sale?  Cheesy

Not graded.

Since it does not look like yours is moving at the 1.65 price I think the raffle might work better.

BTC.1 as a 1 in 16 chance to win BTC1 is not that bad a gamble.

And if you are going to peel & convert to fiat it's BTC.1 to win BTC1.1 give or take with all the forks.

6603  Economy / Collectibles / Thinking about a raffle for a loaded 1BTC 1 oz Silver Gold-plated Lealana on: June 23, 2019, 01:41:06 PM
I was going to ask BTC.1 per spot.

So before I go and get it out of the safety deposit box are there enough of you here willing to bid that much?

Not that it mattes much but:
1) It was funded back in Nov 2014 so outside of clams it has all the forks.
2) Since it was funded before it shipped there is no "buyer funded" laser mark on the holo
3) Never been out of the airtite that is was shipped to me in.

If that's actually true, it's incredible to me--are we still in the world of creating a garbage project, drawing in suckers, and cashing in for that much money?  Sounds easier than a gold rush, IMO.  

Yeah, the altcoin section has been a mess for years.  I've always thought there should be subsections for at least the major altcoins, and I think I voiced that some time ago.  Just not sure how enthusiastic Theymos is about doing anything to or for the altcoin section.  I've long thought that it only exists to appease those bitcoiners who wanted a section for non-bitcoin cryptos.  

Also from what I posted over a year ago:

Quote
If you think back 20+ years it was the same during the .com boom.

Q: What is the name of your company?
A: Plastic Cup Inc.
Value = $1.00

Q: What is the name of your company?
A: plasticcup.com
Value= $1,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 Quick sell stock.
But we just opened and don't do anything yet.
JUST SELL SOME SHARES!!!!!


With BTC going over $10K again, it's going to be a shit storm of epic proportions as everyone tries to cash in again.

Anybody want to get in on the ground floor of BitcoinDave?

6605  Other / Meta / Re: Altcoin paywall on: June 22, 2019, 08:50:03 PM
We should only allow a maximum of 5 sub forums at a time and have these on a monthly rent basis. I have no idea how much this should cost however I believe it should be within the thousands per month
I commend you enthusiasm to clean up the altcoin section, which it desperately needs, but I don't think this is the way to do it.

Sure, a paywall of several thousand dollars a month would weed out many (but not all) of the shitcoins. The issue is for the real coins, who is going to pay that fee? Take a coin like Monero for example, which like bitcoin, has many people developing different aspects of it, no centralized authority and certainly no centralized pool of coins or money to draw from. Who is going to pay the fee for their own board? The developers? Crowdfunding donations?

I would worry that the only coins which would pay this fee are the biggest and "best" of the scam coins, which have enough of a pre-mine or ICO to afford it.

What he said.
A quote from me about this from a over a year ago:

So, according to the time / date in the upper right of the Announcements (Altcoins) page it's 9:48:02

On the 1st page the top of the page post has a last post time of  9:48:00
The oldest on the bottom is 09:43:31
So posts are scrolling off the page in less then 5 minutes. Even if you have the best project out there. Getting past all the "noise" is going to be almost impossible.

6606  Other / Meta / Re: Yobit spam on the forum on: June 22, 2019, 08:36:56 PM
Yup, looks like the yobit signature ban is over. Interestingly though, jerald25 and Quickseller are the only two people i've seen posting with a yobit signature yet. Are they actually getting paid?

I'm not so sure, but this seems like it hasn't been updated at all, https://yobit.net/en/signature/details/ so whether yobit actually changed anything/will change anything is also doubtful.

So who wants to test to see what happens?  Grin

Seriously, w/o any guidance from above it's going to be interesting to see what happens.

6607  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: New Bitmain S9 Firmware Preliminary Testing With Data on: June 22, 2019, 08:29:36 PM
The T9+ also has the new firmware.

Original info from my other post about it that is now locked:
So far (3 hours) running with the "hash rate unchanged- lower voltage option"
I have seen a SMALL rate drop from 10.3T or 10.4T down to 10.1T or 10.2T
I have seen the input power drop from close to 1500 to 1230

As of now 19 hours in.
Power is still down BUT hashrate has never gotten about 10.125 to 10.14

Also there is no low power enhanced mode that the S9 has.

6608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers on: June 22, 2019, 03:00:00 PM
Has anyone had any difficulty connecting tonight? I opened lisk hub and signed in and it just sits there doing nothing.
Tried the create new account and same.
Reboot PC and try again, same.

I figure it's either my internet connection / DNS issue or it's elsewhere and everyone is having issues.

Thanks,
Dave

The system is working for me without an issue. Hopefully you'll get online soon!

Still not stable for me @ home.
Dragged the PC to the office and it's fine.
So since everything else at home is fine and it's the same DNS servers. (8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1) it's something with my Verizon connection at home. Sad
I'll worry about it if the price goes up and I want to move some.

-Dave


Having the same problem again. Came back the beginning of May, now no connection.
This time I did a bit more research. Seems to be a Verizon FiOS issue. Works from office, works from cable, works being run off my T-Mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
On my FiOS at my home and on the FiOS at my parents house no connection when running the Lisk Hub. Same laptop so I know that's not the issue.
All other wallets sync fine.

Anyone else in the downstate NY area on FiOS having an issue at this time (22-June-2019) connecting?

Thanks,
Dave

My bad, didn't see it. In truth, was not looking for it there either, figured it would be here since it's an original firmware not an "aftermarket" one

6610  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / New Bitmain Firmware for T9+ and S9 with some testing on T9+ (201905311102-auto) on: June 22, 2019, 01:52:22 AM
So, bitmain released new firmware the other day.
More overclocking & underclocking options.



So far (3 hours) running with the "hash rate unchanged- lower voltage option"
I have seen a SMALL rate drop from 10.3T or 10.4T down to 10.1T or 10.2T
i have seen the input power drop from close to 1500 to 1230

Will have more data over the next few days.

SSH is still disabled.

Could be good, depends on how they do it.
The more we can use BTC the better it is. Issue is going to be do they do it smoothly or is it going to be a horrible kludge to make it work.

6613  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: RPC performance problems on: June 21, 2019, 03:44:24 AM
Although many people will disagree with me on this. The speed / performance issue can be fixed by throwing hardware at the problem.
You just need a lot of it at the moment. Can you move the blocks to faster disks or a raid with better performance? Can you put in enough ram to carve out a 256gb ramdrive so you can move the blockchain there?

Yeah, we're talking $1000s, you just have to figure out if it's better to spend time optimizing or just spend some money and kick the problem down the road till you outgrow it again.

6614  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Another FireFox vulnerability that can hit WebWallets on: June 20, 2019, 08:33:01 PM
The bug was initially reported by the Coinbase Security Team, but they haven't yet said whether they were actually attacked via this method or not.

They were but attacked, but according to the article the attack was not successful.

They released 67.0.4 today. So even if you updated yesterday, you get to do it again today.

Taking this WAY OT.
BUT, yeah it was a print.
Go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156659 to discuss, do not want to derail viziques thread.

-Dave
6617  Economy / Collectibles / Cheap Collectibles (if you have time) on: June 20, 2019, 07:13:29 PM
So with some comments made in Viziques thread about some cheap collectibles.
There are a lot out there. IF:

1) You have the time to look
2) You don't care about occasionally taking a risk if you can't verify 100% what it is.

To anyone here a Ravenbit Series 2.2 Silver Node is worth a ton. Only 25 made. Really rare, could probably sell mine for well over $1000
To the guy at Coin Galleries Of OysterBay http://coingalleriesofoysterbay.com/ it's a nice 1oz silver coin thing $44.95
You just have to hit a lot of stores and sort through a lot of junk to find something like that.

Same thing with some art work. We know the Cryptograffiti print I got for $50 was a steal. To the guy I bought it from while on vacation in Vegas, it was neat but very slightly damaged print of which he had an undamaged one of. So $50 + getting totally screwed on the cost of him framing it and we're both happy. Don't know where he got it & I didn't really care.

Remember doing this long term violates the "McDonald's Theory"
For those of you who don't follow other collectibles.
If for less time then you put into looking for something, you could have gotten a part time job at McDonald's, making minimum wage, and earned enough money to buy it straight from a known source you have violated the "McDonald's Theory" of collecting.

You will always get lucky now and then, just don't think it's going to make you rich.

Ships from UK
Sensible offers invited

Viz


The issue is YOUR sensible offer is going to be different from MY sensible offer.
Unless you give some idea of what you are looking for it's kind of difficult.
Especially with the Cryptograffiti stuff being all over the place in price. I just picked up one of his pieces for under $50 and others have gone for over $1000 so....

6619  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Another FireFox vulnerability that can hit WebWallets (update 20-June) on: June 19, 2019, 01:19:15 PM
Yet again why are you using web wallets?
But, if you are using web wallets or an exchange that relies on JavaScript update your FireFox to 67.0.3 67.0.4

A bit more info here but you have to do another update.
