7661  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Trustless Leveraged Trading via Atomic Swaps on: June 26, 2021, 07:27:17 PM
There is no leverage on AtomicDex, and each trade is actually executed as an Atomic Swap. It is a nice project for the average Joe looking to buy some Altcoin, but it’s not practical for power traders.
Yeah, there is no leverage trading on AtomicDex, but you are saying that you want to use some new blockchain, so there is no way for this to work as fully atomic swaps, and we probably need to trust some third party for this swaps, and that is not trustless.

The $TRADE chain would be an actual standalone blockchain or DAG structure or what have you. But it’s a Smart Contract in the sense that it is aware of things "outside of it" and has specialized logic to interact with these.
It’s also a Smart Contract in the sense that competing instances could co-exist rather peacefully.
DAG is not even a blockchain but more like a spreadsheet, and smart contracts have shown to experimental and buggy, and doing leverage with other altcoins is a stupid idea in my opinion.
7662  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is legal tender in your country, would you really spend it instead of on: June 26, 2021, 07:10:08 PM
Given that most of us believe that Bitcoin will increase in value over time, you will want to spend it instead of Hoddle and let it appreciate.
Example: Suppose I bought a car with 1 Bitcoin today, but the value of Bitcoin doubled next week, which means I'd better use fiat currency.
Do you think so?

What if you purchased a car with Bitcoin today and value drops next week like it happened recently, that means you would be better using Bitcoin for payment.

Long term Bitcoin may proved to be much better than fiat currencies, and I doubt I would use it everyday for purchases if it was legal tender in other countries,
but I would use it there was some special discounts for purchasing with BTC.
You can even buy a pizza or beer with Bitcoin, but don't regret later if price jumps to 100,000 or million usd.

I am not counting so much on western part of the world that already has developed Bitcoin mining, but I am looking more on the countries that don't have any miners at all or not as much.
Much better option would be to distribute mining to all countries of South America and other countries around China, that would make mining pools much more decentralized.
There is a big opportunity in everything that happens including miners departing China, that may to be blessing in disguise for Bitcoin.
7664  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Trustless Leveraged Trading via Atomic Swaps on: June 26, 2021, 03:39:39 PM
There is no need for creating separate token and blockchain for Atomic Swaps and there are projects you can use now for swapping like AtomicDex.io, that you can download and use like non-custodial wallet/dex-exchange.
Smart contracts you are proposing can often times be exploited, resulting in losing money, like we see every day on other chains like bsc with fake dex trading.

Zaboravio si da je oženio prostitutku koju je prije toga unajmio i platio za seks. Pa je onda utajio desetine miliona dolara i savjetovao svojim Twitter pratiocima koje ICO shitare da kupuje gdje je onda od tog sranja jos nekih $10ak miliona zaradio. Tvrdio je i da je bio otrovan jednom od strane američkih službi a htio je i da bude predsjednički kandidat Amerike. Kakav lik Grin
Wow oženio je prostitutku Roll Eyes a Elon Musk kao radi nešto drugo (pogledajte malo koje gluposti njegova cura priča), pumpa razna sranja na twitteru i njemu ništa jer je on u nečijoj guzici.
Elon je jedan od ljudi koji je najmanje platio porez u Americi, a on i njemu slični kao Bill Gates i Warren Buffett samo naprave neke lažne humanitarne gluposti koje su izuzete od plaćanja poreza.
Svakako je jasno da se on nije ubio a Edward Snowden je već rekao da bi sad mogao biti red na Julian Assanga, a sav taj koncept poreza je loš i nemojte mi reći da ga itko od vas voli plaćati Smiley

7666  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Secure Element in Hardware Wallets on: June 26, 2021, 03:08:20 PM
List is updated with KeyStone Hardware wallet that have EAL5+ certification and 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 secure element, like they announced on their github page with datasheet document.
KeyStone wallet is almost identical with Cobo Vault that stopped with production of their hardware wallet, and main developer with his team created new company with same components and few improvements.
I am not sure this is the best choice for secure elements, as similar cheap Cortex-M0 STM chips are often used as regular processors and not as secure elements, and Keystone is still hiding exact model they are using.
Ledger for example is using non-secure STM32 Cortex-M processor is combination with secure element ST31H320, and other hardware wallets are doing something similar.

Quote
Keystone's Secure Element is a 32-bit security microcontroller, which is specifically targeted at low-cost and low-power fields. The Secure Element is an ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller integrated with a variety of secure cryptographic modules, including the SM1, SM2, SM3, SM4 algorithm, as well as RSA/ECC, DES/3DES, AES128, AES192/256, SHA1/256, SHA384/512 and other internationally recognized security algorithms. It supports true random number generation (TNRG). The Secure Element provides a variety of peripheral interfaces: USB2.0 full speed, SPI, UART, ISO7816, I2C, etc. built-in ROSC, and also supports crystal-free applications.

Keystone's Secure Element has a 256K byte on-chip eFlash, 16K bytes of ROM, 16K bytes of on-chip SRAM, and 4K bytes of dedicated SRAM algorithm, of which on-chip ROM provides various algorithm interface programs for developers. It improves the development efficiency and optimizes system performance.

If you still need the default derivation path for Tron, let me know?! I will be on my other computer where LL is installed later today and I can check it out for you.

I don't need it myself but you can post tron derivation path in ledger to help people like @miningsetup in recovering coins on other wallets.
The only reason I tried to install it was to help people like him but ledger live crashed every time I tried to go to settings for tron app and find derivation path, and that is what I call junk app.

Can you explain how that mistake is possible after he ordered it directly from ledger?
7670  Economy / Exchanges / Re: I am concenred about Binance reliability on: June 25, 2021, 11:58:24 AM
I read about Changpeng Zhao in Wikipedia that has worked in Mcdonalds before.

It makes me doubt about all this platform if it's realiable or not? Why would I put my money on ex Mcdonalds worker. What If I lose all money?

Nobody is telling you invest or send CZ any money, exchanges like Binance are used for exchanging coins, fiat and trading, not for holding your coins on them long term.
There is always a risk of exchanges getting hacked and losing coins, but I don't understand what it has to do with CZ ex job at McDonald's that was back in 1980’s...
You are evaluating people by their ex jobs now?  Roll Eyes You could be a car washer in 2011 that mines Bitcoin, and few years later a billionaire.
7671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Test for free our new futures exchange, and get paid bitcoin! on: June 25, 2021, 11:25:48 AM
My (test) withdrawal is still pending (after 5 days). Not sure if that's just not implemented yet.
What's weird though: it shows Amount: 0.00000.

I can confirm this also, after I clicked to withdraw my tBTC I received an email to confirm that action and status on my account is now confirmed , however I didn't receive anything in my wallet and balance on my account is still the same.
Maybe withdrawals are not working yet, but it would be weird that only deposits work and not withdrawals.

Maybe you should add some demo video so people can see how your ad network platform would work in real life.

Fraud is not possible in Bitfari, I repeat, it's not possible.
I saw that it is possible for people to earn Bitcoin by reviewing Bitfari ads, so my question is can anyone participate in this and how are you going to fight with fake reviews and abusing with multiple accounts?
In theory someone could create hundreds of accounts and write multiple ads feedback to earn more Bitcoin.
7673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you worry about not being able to convert BTC to fiat in future on: June 24, 2021, 03:46:03 PM
This tends to be the way. China, Iran, and Russia are usually the countries which outright control, and aren't afraid of it to be known that they do this. While, the USA, UK, and much of Europe tend to control its population via restrictions, regulations, while still providing the illusion of freedom.
Maybe this was the case in the past, but look at situation now especially in Canada, UK and some parts of US... there is no more illusion of freedom, with excuse of health, as if they ever cared about people's health and well being.
Puppet politicians are blindly following orders from same center and we can see that ALL countries are rushing towards more control and centralization, and Bitcoin is going in totally opposite direction.
I wonder is Bitcon + fake Cyber Attacks are going to be new invisible enemy blamed for everything that is wrong in the world.  Tongue
7674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paraguay to propose Bill that would make Bitcoin Legal Tender on: June 24, 2021, 03:38:44 PM
Paraguay currently have national currency called Paraguayan Guaraní (PYG) and we can see that today 1 USD is worth around 6780 PYG, and 1 Bitcoin is worth over 232 Million PYG!
They are hit hard by inflation like many other countries and it's only normal they would try to follow example of El Salvador in attempt to attract new capital from people owning Bitcoin.
You can easily get their citizenship will small investment and you don't have to pay taxes, that sounds much better than Chinese dictatorship or US hegemony and tax extortion.
I don't think this bill in Paraguay will pass so easy and paid opposition will complain in similar way like in El Salvador.


7675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you worry about not being able to convert BTC to fiat in future on: June 24, 2021, 03:22:17 PM
There is good chance of something like this happening in future if governments implement more draconian measures and restrictions for converting Bitcoin into fiat and this could happen sooner than we think.
I read some document few days ago saying that in next month of July we can expect to see start of global regulation of Bitcoin and crypto that would make much crypto of activity illegal,
it would only be possible to send transaction with some appointed central regulator and we can also expect to see digital currencies that will make trading with bitcoin even harder.
This may sound crazy, but there are forces who are willing to do something like this, and big players who entered in Bitcoin market don't really care about this.
I don't think everything is lost, but we all need to fight hard if we want to keep our freedom and resist this crazy regulations.

7676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future is looking bright for BITCOIN on: June 24, 2021, 11:56:44 AM
You can think positive about news that China banned Bitcoin mining but what happens if more countries start to follow what they did?
It is enough that one western country do something like this and others will soon follow, we can soon be living in divided world, one part supporting Bitcoin and other part banning it.
I would rather say that Bitcoin future is uncertain more than bright, but I still think that Bitcoin is our only hope against current centralization of power in the world.

Oh no... Jerry is back with his 1001 new questions and now he wants to see exact percentage of people who ''forgot'' their passphrase  Roll Eyes

Instead of remembering 25th word and depending on such fragile thing as human memory, it is much easier and better to write passphrase and make backup SEPARATLY from your seed words.
Than again, you can always forget where you stored your seed words and passphrase, your wallet, car keys and everything else.
7678  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Decentralised social media on: June 24, 2021, 11:00:19 AM
Telegram is the only social channel that is close to be decentralized, no back to any government or security agency. It is hoping to open the app to a lot of use that will allow exchange of fund among users, it will start with the facility to hold fund securely then how to protect the exchange among 2 or more people.
Telegram is NOT decentralized at all, everything is totally centralized on their servers and creator of Telegram, Pavel Durov often called as Russia’s Mark Zuckerberg, also created Russian speaking version of facebook called VKontakte.

There are some alternatives for Telegram who are trying to be decentralized like Session, but I didn't notice any of them getting real traction and growing user base.
I would be very careful with any new app or social media that claims decentralization and privacy, after story was published about Anom phones operated by FBI.

User's passphrases and passwords were not stored in our databases, however, at the moment they are considered compromised, please do not use the addresses generated from these phrases and do not send anything to them.

My question is how can passphrases be compromised if they are not stored in Blender's database?

I think that alleged hackers address should be posted in public with more explanation and clarification, but nobody should use Blender service and wallet for now.
