@overboost. Exchanges normally respond slow. You can only wait until they have read your request and have analyzed your situation well enough.

Also, taking this long should put you at ease that exchanges are not impulsive or easily tricked by scammers.

I reckon the market had a delayed reaction about this news hehehe. It might also imply that there is progress on the CFTC's information gathering on Ethereum and they might proceed to the next stage. Approve the creation of an Ethereum futures market.

This might be the cause of the next cryptospace rally.

@NavI_027. Can I join you in your time machine? The main event is not starting for another 24 hours in normal time, I reckon. I would like to know the results ahead of time and make my bets hehehe.

@kenzawak. We heard you. However, why was Jon the only fighter caught by USADA in this event?

To those with a lot of question about this "glorified sparring match", here's a nice article written a few hours ago
https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/8050614/mayweather-vs-nasukawa-time-tv-channel-rules-undercard/

I thought this fight is called off according to Floyds Instagram account, but I guess the power of money is so irresistible to Floyd to let this one pass. If there's a media black out on this sparring fight and it's not going to be counted on each fighters record then this simply is nothing but for the money and not for the sport.



This is my predicted outcome. The fight's result or the fight itself will be made very controversial so that Floyd will get a good round of publicity for months in preparation for his next $100 million fight.

This is a scam to gain publicity.

If will definitely end in a draw and Floyd walking a happy bunny with all the money he got from the Japanese crowd who is willing to be scam. lol. And then he will go on the media saying that he is still the richest man in boxing and not even Canelo's supposedly $300++ Million contract with DAZN can touch him.

The result of this fight is already known by Floyd, the Japanese fighter and the people who organized this show. This is nothing but an exhibition similar to the WWE.

The winner is, FLOYD MAYWEATHER!
7245  Economy / Speculation / Re: Holders should get out if bitcoin falls under $3200 says bear trader on: December 29, 2018, 03:48:09 AM
I am not a technical analysis expert, however, bitcoin would be oversold under $3200 and it would be the right time to buy than to sell, wouldn't it?

"overbought" and "oversold" aren't as intuitive as they sound. in a downtrend, an oversold condition mostly just indicates that bearish momentum is really strong. on higher time frames, i've seen momentum and stochastic indicators oversold for weeks and months at a time. so taken alone, they're not buy signals.

i disagree with the trader though. we can stab below $3200 or $3k. the important thing is that buyers step in strongly and reject it. like we saw in january 2015. if i see a move like that again, i'll be confident the bear market is over.

If it is not a buy signal and you also disagree with the trader's opinion, therefore what is it? A signal for everyone to start looking for a buy signal? hehehe

@pooya87. I know. However I do not feel safe connecting to a random Electrum server while there are malicious servers around that might log my IP address.
7247  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Warning 200 bitcoins stolen from electrum users via malicious update on: December 29, 2018, 01:08:53 AM
Would it be an acceptable temporary solution to connect only to the servers run by the Electrum development team until the malicious servers are identified and blocked? Does Electrum have official servers online?

Phew buddy. That's a pretty awful Christmas story and I'm sad to hear it.

Just FYI, $50 isn't a "small bet." 100 satoshis is a small bet.

I would definitely place you in the "high roller" category, though I know not everybody feels the same.

Sounds like you're addicted to the thrill, may want to lay off it for a while. By your descriptions of things I'd say its probably not the end of the road for you. So keep your chin up.

And consider taking up drinking, its far less expensive!

It might also would have been better to put all his $2000 on an altcoin hehehe. Most of them are on a very low discount and might easily give him a 10x return if he is patient enough hehehe.

@susila_bai. Read the title well. It has says bear trader.

Also, similar to what I do when I post a thread about an article, I like questioning them and start a conversation. We should not automatically trust what the news tell us, I reckon. Some of them might be paid for by people with self interests or written by corrupt journalists.

Also, I did not say it will not go below $3200 level. I said that it might be the right time to buy below that level. Improve your reading skills.

What is the basic rule of trading again? Buy low, sell high.



Recently, Mark Dow, a preeminent hedge fund manager and skilled chartist, took to Twitter on Tuesday to make an unexpected declaration. In a tweet seemingly poking fun at crypto’s zealous bulls, Dow wrote that he would be saying goodbye to his Bitcoin (BTC) short, which he purportedly opened during the asset’s peak in late-2017.

In a phone interview with Bloomberg, the ostensible Bitcoin bear made it clear that his tweet wasn’t made in jest, adding that he was “done” with the position. Speaking to the outlet, Dow explained that he doesn’t “want to try and ride this thing to zero,” potentially indicating that he sees some semblance of value in BTC. Equating his anti-BTC forecast to a lemon, he stated:

“I don’t want to try to squeeze more out of the lemon. I don’t want to think about it. It seemed like the right time.”
The current head of a Southern California family office then explained that he already took profits twice this year, making the covering of his controversial short more than logical, especially from a risk management standpoint.

Just a few weeks later, Dow has taken to Twitter again, this time to paint a bearish picture for BTC’s prospects, specifically from a technical analysis outlook. The American economist recently wrote that BTC’s chart remains “beautiful,” but noted that if the asset cannot breach the $5,000 or $6,000 prices levels in a bounce, “cyberbulls” will be in for a tough time.

7252  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Warning 200 bitcoins stolen from electrum users via malicious update on: December 28, 2018, 01:47:06 AM
Electrum users, we are all targets by hackers. I have never experienced Electrum asking for updates from the wallet itself. Updates should be downloaded from the official website and repositories and must be verified by their checksums and the developer's PGP keys.

I reckon this hack should be a lesson for us to start verifying all software we download.



Another attack has hit the cryptospace – this time, the target was the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet. The hacker, or hackers, got away with over 200 Bitcoin (around $718,000 as of press) by urging wallet users to download and install a malicious software update, according to business technology news outlet ZDNet. The hack began last Friday, December 21, and has been temporarily halted by GitHub administrators as of today.

To acquire users' bitcoin, the attacker added several malicious servers to Electrum's network. If an initiated bitcoin transaction reached one of these servers, it would respond with an error message prompting the user to follow a GitHub link to download an update. After download, the updated app would request a two-factor authentication code, which, if provided, would allow the malicious software to transfer the user's funds into the attacker's Bitcoin addresses.

Some users even manually copy-and-pasted the link provided in the error message and downloaded the malicious update via that route.

Although GitHub eventually removed the offending repository, the Electrum team silently responded to the hack beforehand by updating the app so that the fake messages would no longer appear as formatted text, which looks more legitimate than plain text. An Electrum developer, known as SomberNight, said the team did not publicly disclose the attack until today because the hacker had apparently stopped.

However, Electrum anticipates another attack to occur using either a different GitHub repository or another download location. The malicious servers also remain on the Electrum network – in fact, Electrum developers have identified at least 33 of them. The team has not disclosed what it intends to do about these servers.

7254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China's plan to sideline bitcoin on: December 27, 2018, 02:49:56 AM
it is starting to turn into a trend where every country starts creating their own coin. it is just so simple to do so that they all want in because there is a lot of money in doing something like that and not even the government is going to overlook such large amounts of money.
but i don't think it has anything to do with "sidelining bitcoin" though. they want the control over a cryptocurrency which is the hype of our age and as i mentioned there is a lot of profit.

However, it is their idea to sideline bitcoin, because why don't they support the use of bitcoin?

It goes back to the question, does China understand what bitcoin is, if their idea of a coin is to be centralized and closely overlooked and controlled by the government?

They all mostly used to take ped's.  But not anymore.  
Not sure this is the right place to debate about this but peds are present in every professional sport.
Tennis players, runners, boxers, fighters, soccer players... all pro athletes take enhancement drugs.
Why ? Money, fame, glory... and because all others do. The same reason reason Chris Hemsworth does it before every Thor movie.
Remember that day Tyson bit Holyfield's ear ? He took something before that fight that made him go crazy. Well, all mma fighters take that specific drug before getting in the cage.  
They need drugs to get fit, drugs to get strong, drugs to heal faster, drugs to have more stamina and drugs to be enraged.
It's easy to do and easy not to get caught.

I reckon it has not been as easy to do with USADA around.

Also, there will be athletes who will be caught up from their doping days similar to what occured to Lance Armstrong.

7259  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-12-23] Number of Reachable Bitcoin Nodes Fell 19% in 2018 on: December 26, 2018, 01:29:22 AM


I think it is only a direct result of the smaller miners leaving the Bitcoin scene. The profitability of the mining might have paid for the hosting of the node and now those miners are struggling and they might have temporarily shutdown these nodes. <Bandwidth cost and the cost to run a node 24/7 can be expensive for people living in 3rd world countries>

The situation will change as the profitability increase in the future. <We cannot stay at the bottom forever and the difficulty will drop as more miners leave.>  Tongue   

This isn't about miners, it's about users who run full nodes to support the network and verify the blockchain themselves. As blockchain grows, it becomes harder and harder to keep doing it for hobbyists with their home computers, especially if they don't upgrade their hardware frequently. Also, it might be caused by the bear market, as people tend to give Bitcoin less attention during these periods, even those  who are involved.

Agreed. But the more important question. Would a bull market increase the count and get back those nodes online that were shutdown?

I reckon it is hard to be charitable if that person is forced to pay for the cost hehehe.
7260  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China's plan to sideline bitcoin on: December 26, 2018, 01:12:32 AM
the People's Bank of China's does not appear to understand what the cryptospace is

Oh they understand very well, that's why they are implementing these measures. Dude this is not about economics or about protecting your citizens or about money laundering or about terrorist financing ... The Chinese government is headed by a group of people who want to keep in control of the entire population, bitcoin has a very ideology different from the ideology of the Chinese government.

I reckon China will be the no.1 in economy, technology and in military by 2050.

And on that day the forest of Africa will not exist, the sky will be black and without some bird because all birds will be dead, the oceans will be without octopus, squid, fish, seafood, scorpions and snakes will be in the extinction because of these Chinese and many Asians that fish and destroy nature aggressively. china is colonizing Africa indirectly, and this is because many African governments are run by  shit people and corrupt people



Yes they might understand, but it appears that they have underestimated it extensively, that is why I reckon that they might not have fully understood it yet hehehe.

In any case, read their plan to sideline bitcoin. Whoever proposed it does not understand bitcoin.
