7101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ⚛️ [ANN] Bitcoin Atom - Fork 1:1 of Bitcoin - Atomic Swap Powered ⚛️ on: March 23, 2018, 02:29:35 AM

It's now giving me a error -27
already in block chain.

But it's not.
 
I just did an importprivkey for that one address on a new clean pc with just BCA installed and the coins are sitting there.

At this point I am going to wait for the block explorer to be released so I can do some tracing of it. Without seeing what is being seen on the network makes it that much harder to fight this issue. I think (and I really don't know if it's possible) that something made it into the mempool, and it's bouncing around a few nodes but not getting mined.

Thanks for all your time so far.

-Dave


So the official block explorer shows the transactions if I look at the TXIDs.
The sending wallet still shows them in it. But I can't do anything with them.
The receiving wallet does not show any incoming transactions.
Very odd.
Going to have to play with this a lot over the weekend.

It seems to be random. A friend was verified in about a month. His wife who did the verification at the same time took over 3 months and several messages to support.
As others have said before, I hope circle will improve their support. (They can't make it worse)

7103  Economy / Exchanges / Re: OKex and many more faking trading volumes / wash trading on: March 23, 2018, 01:34:46 AM
The question that is not answered is it is "fake" as in they are not really there as in they are making up numbers.
OR is it "fake" as in a pair of bots trading the same coins between themselves for free (if they are doing it the fees are never really charged)

The other question is if exchange "X" spends $5000 on advertising (sig campaign, twitter campaign, etc) and the other spends $5k in lost trade fees looking to make themselves look bigger is it bad. (I think it is) but it is a form of advertising.

7104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Launching the Antminer L3+, World's Most Powerful and Efficient Litecoin Miner on: March 22, 2018, 05:46:44 PM
My first L3+ arrived today.  Fedex got it to me on time despite a 18 inch snow storm .

So I hook it up to an  antminer apw psu I down clock set fans to 40%

and I get a nice 450mh using 725 watts at the meter

impressed with power use.

I have 5 more on order.
going to solo mine  so the 450mh with lower sound and lower power works for me

Still doing some speed tweaks to mine. Trying to find the Frequency / Power sweat spot.
I just found out that 3 that came together off the same power supply can vary a lot.
As in 4% less power at the same frequency.
Going to leave each one on the test bench for a few days to see if it maintains that. 30 Watts is not a lot but it all counts.

7105  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: It is NOT secure to use hardware wallets (and it never was) on: March 22, 2018, 02:32:30 PM
Well, this evil maid attack is even less risky. How would a hacker access my hardwallet, inside my house?
If he can get inside your house , well, he can force you to give your btc to him even on an airgapped PC using Bitcoin core, he doesn't even need to be a hacker, he just needs a weapon.

When you buy a ledger nano they come securely closed, and if the seal was violated you should discard it, as ledger recommendation. You don't need to trust anyone who handles the package..

But this discussion is pretty worthless.. it's a selected Paranoia. Hardwallets are safe enough.

If the user is the problem (like using infected pendrives, using violated hardwallets), any method is unsafe

That's why it's called the evil maid, we can call it dishonest butler, sneaky plumber, corrupt cable tech.
Whatever. WE are human, we make mistakes, you left it siting next to your PC for whatever reason instead of putting it away. Under 3 minutes and a netbook. That's all they need.

When you buy a ledger nano they come securely closed, and if the seal was violated you should discard it, as ledger recommendation. You don't need to trust anyone who handles the package..
They actually did not



And I think that set me off more then anything. They badmouthed other places for saying that their taper tape was worthless, while putting out a product that a 15 year old (yes a very smart one) cracked by himself.

Beyond this, I am dropping out of this thread. I doubt either one of us is going to change the others mind.

This is a problem, and was already fixed by a firmware update.

I think it's also worth mentioning that this vulnerability, although scary, occurs only if the the attacker has physical access before setup of the seed.
Not 100% true, from what he said it was vulnerable to the "Evil Maid attack"
https://saleemrashid.com/2018/03/20/breaking-ledger-security-model/


This is a problem, and was already fixed by a firmware update.
Which took them close to 4 months to put out and still is not properly alerting & forcing users to update.

And if you care at least a minimum about security, you would never buy a Ledger Wallet from third party re-sellers.
Assuming you can trust everyone who handled the package from when it left their shipping dock till when it wound up in your mailbox.

TLDR: ledger hardwallet is still pretty safe, much safer than any hot wallet. Unless you have an airgapped PC, hardwallet is still a good choice.

THAT I agree with. And pretty safe is good for most people. But it's still not REALLY REALLY REALLY safe.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean that there are not people out to get you.....

7107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Restoring Bitmain Firmware (L3+,D3,A3, others) on: March 22, 2018, 01:35:10 AM
There have been some posts about loosing the ability to get to their miners.

If you take a look here:

https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=007201604120945219855QObfk20066C

You can get the downloads to burn a SD card to restore your firmware for the L3+, D3 and A3
***The L3+ is not the same as the L3***
If you put the wrong firmware on you will probably own a paperweight.

Just posting this because several people have had issues and it's not on an obvious spot on the Bitmain page

IT WORKS!! Managed to flash Firmware by loading the files onto SD card.  Once loaded, found IP throught
the IP report button.  Set to static again, this time no problems.

Mine on!
Glad it worked. Grin

7110  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: QR Code issue on: March 22, 2018, 12:13:16 AM
It's only you for now I guess.

Maybe it's a bug issue with your phone firmware since you tested the lower version better to stay with that version until they release a new firmware for your phone.

I am using mycelium for almost 2 years and never encounter any problem with scanning QR code or anything.

Do you have a backup of your coinomi wallet?

Try to hard reset your phone after you flash your phone into the latest firmware and install the coinomi and mycelium wallet and try again if the issue persists it is not a phone problem its a firmware bug.

How about the other firmware which is 5.0.2 just found from XDA-developers.
Check the source here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/firmware-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3565535
If the 5.0.2 didn't work better to stay at the 5.0 version just to keep your qr code scanner work.
I am 99% certain it's a firmware bug.
I think the problem is, and for it to happen to you 3 things have to be in place:
1) You own a OnePlus 3T
2) You use Mycelium wallet
3) You run the latest and greatest beta firmware as soon as OnePlus releases it.

I am guessing that it's a very small group of people.
However, I did think that it would be more then just me talking about it here.

Through the OnePlus forums I found someone close to where I work with a 3T, who is running the beta. He does not use bitcoin but did agree to let me install mycelium to check on his phone sometime next week. Just to eliminate some odd hardware issue on my phone.

I'll also check out the XDA firmware you posted.

7112  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Signature Campaigns taxes on: March 21, 2018, 11:29:50 AM
''But until your money is in BTC, Then no need to pay taxes for it.'' I'm not entirely sure about this part just like with stocks, even if you never sold your apple or facebook stocks, you would still have to declare them, wouldn't you?

This really depends on where you live. In the US, you don't declare when you buy you declare when you sell. You then take what you paid for it subtract what it cost you and pay taxes on that. If you got paid dividends along the way you should have paid taxes on those.

Every country is different, but most of them do operate that way for stocks.

As for signature campaigns, once again US based, above a certain amount you should report them (I do, giving the government it's cut now is not worth the hassle later if they find out about it). In theory you should report it all, but that just not practical. However, I actually report it under "hobby expense and income" Bitcoin is not my main job, it's not even my side job. So *I* can do it that way. Same thing with my eBay stuff. Since what I sell tends to be high profit items I don't like giving money away to the govt, but it's not worth the hassle later.

Now the official:
YMMV, this is not tax advice. Consult your local accountant or tax advisor. I am not a tax advisor so do not use anything I say as tax advice.

7113  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer V9 4TH on: March 21, 2018, 03:08:59 AM
Great news.

Is there anyway in updating the firmware when there is no access into the miner interface??
Could there be a way via using an SD card?

Yes, it's on the Bitmain website:

7114  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: QR Code issue on: March 21, 2018, 02:26:07 AM
And 3T OxygenOS Open beta 23 (came out last week) kills the QR code reading again.

As I said in the 1st post this only happens in Mycelium.

The bitcoin.com wallet still reads QR codes.
The Coinomi wallet still reads codes.
I removed the bither wallet so I can't check that.

I can't be the only person with this issue, can I?

I updated my sig as well.

DaveF, your avatar looks to be tripping on mescaline. 
So it's not just me. Sad

Hhampuz I am going to be playing with some other avatars for the next little while. I want to see if it's just this one or if it's something in my profile that's off.

Odd thing does my avatar look a bit off to anyone else?
All the other ones look smooth, mine seems to be a bit jagged.
I don't know if it's my PC doing something odd or something else.

7118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers on: March 20, 2018, 10:14:50 PM
So, from the “This thread is 2200 pages long and I just can’t find the answer” pile I have a quick question. So if it has been asked and answered before sorry but there really needs to be a simple FAQ someplace. And a big honking blinking arrow to where it is, because if there is one I missed that too.

According to https://lisk.support/knowledge-base/#kb-voting-explained if I vote for a delegate and then add more LISK to the address that voted the extra LISK that I added are automatically counted.

Is this accurate? I had 1 big LISK address and a few smaller ones. I finally got around to combining them in a few weeks ago but the rewards have stayed about the same. Since adding the smaller ones effectively doubled the amount of LISK in that address I would think the rewards would be about doubled.

Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Dave


Some delegates pay monthly so you may not notice the increase for a bit.
I was looking at liskpool.top and some others that pay every few hours. But beyond that I was just looking at their stats page as to how much I was getting. It just does not seem to be growing faster. I will have to actually start taking notes to see how much is coming in and how fast.

There is an old saying that one of my lawyer friends likes to use "99% of the lawyers out there give the rest of us a bad name"
The problem that Google / Yahoo / FB and the others have is that there *are* so many scams out there that it's not worth trying to figure out what is legit and what is not.
If you ban them all nobody can come back and say that one of the ones you let through was a scam or that you blocked a legitimate one. They all go away.

Is it the best answer?  Not sure.
Is it the simplest answer? Yes.

Now, will it hurt legitimate ICOs and other projects?
That is tough to tell. If you are building a better project and can get better returns and legitimate gains, people will find you.

I have found many good coins here. No Google, No FB, No Telegram. Just here. And there are other places too.

7120  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Antminer V9 4TH on: March 20, 2018, 09:51:10 PM
Had mine arrive today, only tested one so far but Nicehash only works for a few mins then doesn't pick up anything and Slushpool gets around 45% rejected shares rate :S

Will test the others tomorrow

BTW yes I have updated the firmware to the latest version

I don't know if you have any other miners or have set up any other ones but:

1) Check your power supply. These things need a lot of good power, a cheap 1200 Watt unit will not hack it.
2) Check you network connection. Could be something there.

If both of them are OK start checking the other miners as you said. If the others are good then it's just this one then it's a Bitmain issue. If the others are acting the same way, post again. There are enough of us here that we can probably figure it out.
