Does SSL encryption works because someone pays licensing fee? Sorry for being ignorant, but is this really how web security works?
Short version:
No. But SSL certificates have valid from and to dates. They do have to be renewed / updated

Longer version, probably wrong on some things, and missing *a lot* of detail but generally covering the situation.

What happened here is Firefox will verify that the addons you have are legitimate and safe.
It talks back to the servers that know this over SSL.
In order to avoid certain compromises it knows certain things about the SSLs, (call it a serial number, not 100% the same but close enough) and does not just assume they are good. Unlike what happens when you just use https: which will take just about any SSL cert as good unless it has been specifically revoked.

One of those expired this AM at 00:00 UTC

Unlike getting an SSL for a website for free or $10.00 there are more checks that have to go into these certs.
Also since certain things are coded into the browser for safety that has to be updated also.

A possible issue. I don't know if it's just my setup (probably is)
Offline PC so I don't have exact time of crash BUT it feels to be every 10 days or so.
I came into the office and VS just *stopped* no crash no error just sitting at the command prompt.

8 core CPU that I am running 4 threads on + gpu
Liquid cooled cpu never even gets warm
1200 watt EVGA power supply so I know that's not the issue.

It happened on 1.12 and now on 1.13. I never had the older ones running long enough to see this

What I am running (just restarted it):

is BITPAY working? if you transfer to the card, can u still use card for regular purchases?

And this does kind of prove my point Smiley
To find opinions of graders you have to go to page 2 of a discussion about definitions.
To then find out more specific information on things that ANACS has graded you have to click on one of the links that krogoth put in his reply.
There is no place that really says new people click here.
Anybody want to buy an original Ravenbit sticker. It's graded DF68

  b) Do not trust the grading that much after I saw them grade a killyou, satori chips and fake coins.

This just came up in a different forum about regular silver coins.

Short version:
Do we need a "graded reliable" and "graded unreliable"

Long version:
Do we need / should we have a discussion out here in public, probably on a separate thread about the "quality" or "accuracy" of coin grading houses in regard to cryptos?
If we know "A" will grade something that has been driven over by a UPS truck with a MS65 but "B" will kick it back to you with a comment of *hell no* scribbled on the receipt should this information be more accessible?

As krogothmanhattan said about checking the load of a coin. Caveat Emptor!  BUT, if without digging through 100s of posts it becomes almost impossible. Even with a bit of digging I still don't know who graded the killyou coin.

Dave's logic behind making this more public --> Anything we can do to help remove scammers is good. Anything we can do to make scammers lives more difficult is good. If a new person does not know and does not look to find out that's on them.  If they don't know and we do but don't tell them and make it difficult to find out, that's on us.

Counter argument --> We are not your mom. It's not our job. 

Sorry for the rambling, but someone on the silver forum just did a test with PCGS grading and it ended...poorly...lets leave it at that.

No tools that I can think of. Everything I have is for x86.
Just seemed that with the crashes & external drive issue it might be hardware.
If it's working now I would not worry about it.

-Dave
6729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bitcoin core full node keeps crashing after power failure on: May 03, 2019, 01:12:16 AM
1) Just to confirm it's a RPi 2 with 1GB of RAM. Not one of the older ones with only 512MB
2) Were you able to restart bigcoind?

Just bouncing some other ideas, since you had an issue running with an external drive, have you run something to really stress the RPi to see if it's a hardware issue?
A lot of people run external drives, so between that problem and this one it's not unreasonable to consider that it might be hardware. (Possible wall power adapter issue?)

Anybody else?
As of now it looks like ChiBitCTy and OgNasty and I were the only ones who even cared.
If nobody else is interested I'll let it go. Mostly because I don't have the time to put into it, so someone else would have to do most of the work which would probably be a lot.

Thanks,
Dave

i actually have a 500GB sdcard in the pi not a HDD.  tried an HDD but kept having problems.  paid a ton for that sd card so i hope its not trashed.

i did run fsck on all the partitions after the power failure and no errors were found.

and if it is some storage corruption i would expect the OS to crash all the time, but i have no other issues other than running bitcoin. when bitcoin core stops the OS does not.  so i am going on the assumption the sdcard is still good. for now anyway, at least until this reindex is done.  8 hours running and up to blk803.dat.....


Any luck yet or still re-indexing?
What issues were you having with the HDD? I was never happy with the performance with spinning drives and the RPi. In theory it should not matter as the USB is the limiting factor but it just "felt" slow to me. An SSD with a good adapter worked for me for a few years.

6733  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) on: May 01, 2019, 06:55:58 PM
Wildcard search is between 4 and 5 times slower than classic search for known prefixes. I reach ~40MK/s with my 1050 Ti and ~4MK/s with my i7-4770.
It is due to the fact that I have to compute full address each time and it requires 2 SHA for the checksum and a base58 encoding. For the CPU release, I implemented SSE checksum and I will try to implement SSE Base58 encoding using Barret's reduction (for computing div and mod 58).
Thank you very very much! I am really looking forward to a new commit.

Has anyone put together (or started to put together) a list of CPUs / Video Cards & the speed you can get out of them.

2019-05-01T00:48:02Z Error reading from database: Fatal LevelDB error: Corruption: not an sstable (bad magic number)

Since it runs for hours then it fails at reading the DB, an idea that came into my mind is that maybe your HDD got into trouble - from a cross link to a bad sector.
I would also check thoroughly the HDD. I mean some *nix equivalent for chkdsk /r

*nix command is fcsk
It might not run till the next reboot for repair.

i'll give reindex a try.
Reading here that could take up days/weeks.

Was the transaction index switched on (txindex=1) where you took the blockchain backup from ?
IIRC it should not matter, the error he gave in the 1st post points to the main DB index.
It's been a while since I saw it.

If you had a power failure, you could have created a transient and knocked out a component. Do you get any failures when you run anything else?
It's an RPi, they *tend*to be tough. (The SD card is another matter)

Did you try a reindex?
On a RPi it's going to take a while, but that should fix it.

When will the deposit be opened on the exchange yobit?

Probably never, but did you ask yobit? https://yobit.net/en/support/create
If enough people ask there is a small possibility that they might actually do something.
It's been offline for at least 5 months so I doubt it's coming back.

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.

I could see this as being pretty helpful. Below is my "master list" I keep updated with all collectible websites (Live & No Longer In Use).  I could add a "Current Btalk [ANN] Sales" section at the top perhaps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124662.msg50317188#msg50317188
What you have put together is amazing, I don't even want to think of how much time you have put into that list.

In my mind I was thinking of something a lot smaller.
Just 1 thread (pinned I hope) that just has this.

Coin                         Maker         Thread
BYOB The M.O.A.B      Hhampuz       https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102720.0
.1 BTC Copper Wallet   frankbitcoin   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5135673.0
etc.

Perhaps also the release date or announce date. But this way you could look at 1 thread and know (somewhat) what has come out since the last time you looked.
No mintage / no other detail. Just look this was announced, click here to find out more. Some people might care about Nastyfans coins others might care more about CryptoImperator. Others care about all of them but like me might not have time to look. Or might be off the forum for a few days or a week and then have to slog through 2 or 3 pages. Between people selling their stuff, people discussing stuff it's easy to miss the announce threads.

-Dave

6740  Economy / Collectibles / Do we need / does anybody want a single moderated announcement thread? on: April 29, 2019, 08:08:33 PM
Title kind of says it all. Sometimes we can spend a ton of time here on the forum. Other times we can't. Because of this you can no see postings about or sales threads of new coins.
Due to life getting in the way I missed the M.O.A.B. thread and it's sale. I am reasonably sure others have had the same issue with other coins / collectibles.

So do you think a sticky thread at the top moderated by somebody (or more then 1 person) that just has a running list of new coins / collectibles and a link to the thread.
This way you can check in 1 spot and be done.

Good idea? Bad idea?
