7041  Economy / Speculation / Re: How to differenciate a dead cat bounce from the end of the correction? on: February 05, 2018, 11:00:40 PM
(This topic should be in the "trading section or "speculation")

It's not easy to explain but to make it short, in trading you can identify the end of a correction with the methods below:

Quote
- price breaks of a corrective highs in an uptrend or corrective lows in a downtrend
- corrective price channel breaks,
- an RSI-break back in the direction of the prior trend.

Read this page for the full explanation

and this one as well

Hope it helps otherwise another method to look for

We have been doing our research on where to Incorporate?
checking whether our token meet the howey test elements.

Can the veterans please guide us navigate this by pointing out to good information which we can use to educate ourself and then use an attorney?

Thanks
Merritos
Are you looking for the USA only? As you mention the howey test. It depends if it's an "Investment Tokens" or "Product-Use Tokens".  

Otherwise, I suppose you can do it in Estonia if you're looking for a country in Europe. The country itself created its own ICO (Estcoin or something like that) The country is friendly when it's about a legal corporation and it's easy as everything can be done in English there.
A resident doesn't even need to speak  Estonian.When you have a question or problem, you can send an email in English and they reply back in 24 hours lol.
You don't need to visit the country, you can apply online for the e-residency and do everything you want online
7043  Economy / Economics / Re: Centralisation vs. decentralisation in society and the role of the blockchain on: February 05, 2018, 07:23:25 PM
That is the society in which we currently live: Power is in the hands of a few and where the social structure is based on depositing trust in guarantor and centralized organisms, outside of them, is unthinkable. Politics, laws, FREEDOM, communications, TRUST, INTEGRITY, HONESTY, BUSINESS, production and distribution, at the speed of electrons, in the hands of the people, and not only of authorities. Centralization is inefficient, bureaucratic, and concentrates power in a minority elite. However, an analogous society was required for our evolution, but it is no longer necessary in the digital world where cleverly used technology returns power to people, and generates trust and cohesion in a more agile and effective way.

Society 3.0 does not need oppressive entities that limit its action, by itself it regulates itself and discards what does not allow its development. This is blockchain.
In Switzerland, there is a government of course, but when they want to introduce a new law, regulation, etc, do you know what they do? A referendum and every citizen is welcome to give their vote on a particular proposal to say yes or no. They have a referendum on almost anything.
So a society without a "Power is in the hands of a few" is possible, but if the citizens don't really care then there is not much to do

BTW, I just finished to read the article on futurism.com posted in the OP, it's a very good article to read.
7044  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ledger Receive Wallet Attack on: February 05, 2018, 04:31:33 PM
Has anyone been affected by this and would it now be a good time to buy another hardware wallet?

Also it I've been reading where it says to press the monitor before sending and receiving to verify your address is correct is that true as well?

What the hell is going on?

Ledger didn't receive a "wallet attack". A vector has been discovered last month with the Google Chrome application. Nobody has been affected currently (or at least it has not been found on the web). People using the hardware just need to validate the integrity of the address. (Checking if the address is correct, like you are always supposed to do, no matter the support used).

7046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lets fight the FUD toguether on: February 04, 2018, 10:17:16 PM

The fees are lower because the  number of transactions on the BTC network decreased by nearly 50% compared to 1 month ago
https://blockchain.info/charts/transactions-per-second?daysAverageString=7&timespan=60days

1 block per 10 minutes = 144 blocks mined per day However in January we got over 160 blocks mined daily, for an unknown reason to me

And recently, more and more people have now started to use payments in batch, native segwit, dynamic fee estimation as described here some days ago https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Techniques_to_reduce_transaction_fees&action=history

As for Cash App and Robinhood, I have nothing to say other than LOL

I think the community is used now with the fake news, and people outside the crypto community are also used with fake news. The problem is media that don't understand what news they got (high-quality standard in journalism in 2018)

Regarde cette liste https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/ tu peux en trouver pas mal
ceux marqués en "wip" c"est qu'ils sont en cours ("work in progress")

Ben une adresse Bitcoin c'est juste un identificateur qui utilise des characteres alphanumeriques. Elle peut avoir plusieurs formats et different préfixes:

1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
bc1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(et même m-n-2-K-L-9-c... mais bon un peu inutile ici)

Une adresse avec comme péfixe 1 = Pubkey hash (P2PKH address) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction#Pay-to-PubkeyHash
Une adresse avec comme péfixe 3 = Script hash (P2SH address) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pay_to_script_hash
Une adresse avec comme péfixe bc1 = P2WPKH https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32

Les adresses natives P2WPKH (Pay-To-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) sont codées en Bech32 d'ou le “bc” ( et “tb” pour le testnet)

Une adresse avec comme préfixe bc1 est une adresse segwit native. (A noter qu'une adresse avec comme préfixe 3 peut l'être aussi mais ne sera pas "native" c'est une adresse Segwit mais imbriquées dans une adresse P2SH classique "segwit-in-p2sh/P2SH-P2WPKH")

Je n'utilise pas Electrum car bc1 only et je prefere pour l instant les adresses avec 3 ce que j'ai avec un Ledger Nano S
Vous devez créer un nouveau portefeuille et accepter l'option de générer un portefeuille segWit. C'est pas une option que vous allez voir soudainement dans le wallet Grin

(A noter que les bc1 ne sont pas encore compatible partout, d ou la raison d'utiliser une 3)

I don't get it why people constantly talk about Tether being a problem now, while it has been a potential problem for more than a year now. In other words, Tether right now isn't more of a potential threat than it was a good year ago

Even one year ago I have not really understood how Tether could be a threat,  because I don't think so. But I agree with the rest of your comment.

- On Friday, many virtual coins saw a violent sell-off with billions of dollars wiped off of the entire cryptocurrency market.[1]

Isn't Friday the day when Bitcoin jumped from ~$8,000 to ~$9,500? If so then it's quite the opposite of what is mentionned.

Quote
-- Experts have cited worries over tighter regulation and concern that a digital coin called tether could destabilize the cryptocurrency market.[2]
 

Experts from CNBC.com? I didn't read the article fully but CNBC.com is one of the last media to listen to. I mean seriously.
As I said yesterday you can become homeless if you listen to them.


7050  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Advice for Existing Ledger Users on: February 04, 2018, 12:20:06 PM
It's not just Ledger users. This MITM vulnerability affects all hardware wallets.

I'm gonna keep saying it: Stop storing anything you aren't willing to lose on hardware wallets. Use them for limited funds only. They have huge attack surfaces and they are not well-tested. And frankly, it should be common sense not to plug all your keys into a live computer.

But for example, Trezor wallet users are enforced to use 2FA for the address used to receive. You can have your own opinion of course but hardware wallets are still one of the best methods to use and a lot better than storing on a web-based wallet lol, (which the majority does).
7051  Economy / Economics / Re: If the world uses a single currency on: February 04, 2018, 10:23:50 AM
The reunification of the currency is certainly good, but this is hard to come by because it means that all countries on earth have an alliance or just one country left, just like the EU. The former approach is basically impossible because countries have different views Different habits, and then one, for the time being, every nation has such abilities.

Then, ask to European citizens what do they think about the EUR currency and how it has badly affected their purchase power. Or how the Europeans laws are killing the countries economy and why most European citizens now regret their own currency and would like to go back..
7052  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Advice for Existing Ledger Users on: February 04, 2018, 09:37:48 AM
An attack vector has been found last month. Nothing really critical. Users can easily be safe if they double check: Users need to validate the integrity of the address before, as a precaution. (if using ethereum app better to use  Live CD O.S.)

More details can be found in this PDF here

Quote
The Attack
Ledger wallets generates the displayed receive address using JavaScript code running on the host machine.

This means that a malware can simply replace the code responsible for generating the receive address with its own address, causing all future deposits to be sent to the attacker.

Because receive addresses are consistently changing as part of the usual activity of the wallet, the user has no trivial way (like recognizing his address) to verify the integrity of the receive address.

As far as he knows, the displayed receive address is his actual receive address




What Makes This Even Worse

Quote
- All the ledger wallet software is located in the AppData folder, meaning that even an unprivileged malware can modify them (no need to gain administrative rights).

- The ledger wallet doesn’t implement any integrity-check/anti-tampering to its source files, meaning they can be modified by anyone.

- All the malware needs to do is replace one line of code in the ledger software, this can be achieved with less than 10 lines of python code.

- New ledger users would typically send all their funds to the wallet once initialized. If the machine was pre-infected, this first transaction may be compromised causing the user to lose all of his funds.

- The attack changes the receive address during its generation, causing even the automatically generated QR to be updated to the attacker’s address. Meaning that both the string and QR representations of the address are compromised.

Advice for Existing Ledger Customers
Quote
If you’re using the Bitcoin App – Before every receive transaction validate the integrity of the address using the monitor button.

If you’re using the Ethereum App – Treat the ledger hardware wallet the same as any other software based wallet, and use it only on a Live CD operating system that is guaranteed to be malware-free. At
least until this issue receives some kind of fix.

It's too early to get a clear picture, but my thoughts so far:

First, most people complaining about merit are constantly posting garbage, and should not rank-up. The forum is not a welfare system

I agree and I see no problem to apply this. (off topic: This says I would like to see the moderators more strict than they are currently.)

OP is surely a teenager so brave that he can't use his/her original account...

I think I 'm going to avoid the Meta section for a month or two, so tired with people crying and all the topics created about merit, merit this, merit that

Le Bitcoin c'est le Bitcoin,... Bitcoin cash n'est rien d'autre qu'un altcoin. Ou alors en suivant votre logique on pourrait dire que...
Ubuntu c'est la vraie Debian.... Opera c'est le vrai Gogole Chrome Non mais Allo quoi...
Après Bitcoin VS Bitcoin cash, chacun ses arguments.

Après dire les frais, les frais, les frais...
ben oui OK, mais si les gens commencaient par déjà utiliser une adresse segwit ? 15 minutes la transaction... Roll Eyes

"Sur internet on trouve beaucoup d opinion favorable en ce sens" Beaucoup c'est un peu exagéré, il n'y a qu'a voir sur Twitter comment le compte @Bitcoin se fait insulter dès qu'il parle de Bitcoin cash

Que vous soyez fan de Roger Ver, il n'y a aucun souci. Mais il ne pas faut dire que le Bitcoin cash est le réel Bitcoin, au moins pour éviter la confusion, surtout pour les personnes qui découvrent le Bitcoin
Dire "le vrai bitcoin est le bitcoin cash à l heure actuelle", c'est drole parce que c'est la phrase typique que les boys de Roger Ver aiment répéter comme des bots.
Ca sert à rien d'essayer de forcer les gens à utiliser bitcoin cash, et encore moins d essayer de leur laver le cerveau avec des trucs techniques du genre a clasher le LN que la majorité ne comprends pas de toute facon. Si les gens ne veulent pas il y a surement une raison.... Si ca les interessent, faut les laisser venir naturellement et non pas utiliser les methodes de Rael

Hi everybody,

Thank you very much LeGaulois who gave me the good Telegram tipp!

I chatted with the responsible woman of Huobi through Telegram in the Telegram channel of Huobi. It was not that easy to catch her attention. I chatted long with her. She proposed me again and gain to change my browser and to use different websites of Huobi (huobi.com, huobi.pro, huobi blablabla). And she asked me again and again the same questions. At the end she advised me to write to support@huobi.pro.
I sent to the support an email where I explained clearly my problem with a photo and a screenfilm of the impossible login.

The next day, the responsible woman oh Huobi wrote me through Telegram that it should now be OK. Indeed, I could endly login :-) (-:


Good to hear. You're welcome  Smiley
7059  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price manipulation patterns on: February 03, 2018, 02:10:03 PM
Don't you think it's possible to manipulate the price even if you own 0BTC Using mainstream media and to keep bashing Bitcoin to say how it's bad and help criminals and so on? And when you want to make the price wake up, you say "good news! Bitcoin is now accepted in this and that" or any positive news, you get my idea. A lot of media are controlled by the same holdings, of course, you need a lot of power but it's still not impossible when you have the resources.

If such a technique did exist, the creator would never make it public. They'd use it, become a multi-billionaire, and in a couple of extra years, a multi-trillionaire. Then they'd capture the global economy. If anyone shares this magical AI, they are scamming you.

It is exactly what HFT is supposed to do and used massively. With extremely complex algorithms that are worth thousands and thousands of dollars and with super fast internet speed (infrastructures often paid by citizens without knowing about it), you never got before. (called dark fiber in the USA) or using their own private data centers (like in the U.K.)
