7881  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Litecoin stay as "Blockchain silver" an important coin? on: January 15, 2021, 09:53:17 AM
Litecoin has never impressed me.
I guess that I may offend some here and there, but I think that for some years the silver goes to Ethereum instead of Litecoin, in terms of acceptance and also usability.
And I am saying this although I am not into Ethereum either and I had my share of struggle with its fees and gas logic too because of some tokens...

You don't have to care of that combobox about signatures.
You have to click Sign. Then click Broadcast.

If this doesn't work, try to make a new wallet from the seed and try to send the transaction again. There's a chance that something is incorrect in the wallet file (I am not convinced, but it should not crash...)
7883  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Visa Cards Are Now Available in Europe on: January 14, 2021, 02:49:15 PM
OK, I had my first issues too.
In a shop it said "contact bank", although I had enough EUR+BTC for the payment.
Now I wanted to check the card transactions and the website gives me "System busy"...
7884  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: One more Ledger leak? on: January 14, 2021, 01:31:44 PM
New day and new email from ledger.

I think that all the e-mails from Ledger, legit or not, are going to my spam folder.
This approach allows me have less concerns about that issue.
Since I use that mail address for many other things I cannot discontinue it, but marking all this crap as spam was the least I can do.

I wouldn't care to read their legit mails either, so it's not a big loss...


And what exactly does it mean when they say they will remove 24 words with some 'technical solution'?

It's "remove the 24 words as the single pillar of the security". But I don't know what they really mean, maybe add custom words, maybe encrypt, ... my guess that they'll all more "pillars"  Grin
However, was this mail actually legit or not?!
7885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Serious question, what cause the altseason? Human greed or bitcoin whales? on: January 14, 2021, 01:20:00 PM
I know that could seems stupid, but the "serious" question after all of this is: "is this time different?" The answer in my opinion is not so obvious Smiley

Not necessarily stupid, but clearly funny, at least for me.

About "is this time different?"... it may be different because Bitcoin's bull run may be different.
It may be more a bull run than FOMO bubble (longer and possibly with not such a huge drop at the end), and this will affect "investors"' habits.

As long as Bitcoin is safe bet and with higher growth than the altcoins could do on the paper, there won't be any good reason for altcoin season to start.
DeFi could have had a chance to drive that if it wouldn't have looked that scammy and maybe with a different timing, I don't know...
7886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Serious question, what cause the altseason? Human greed or bitcoin whales? on: January 14, 2021, 01:06:43 PM
I just love the title "serious question" in a speculation subforum  Grin

Alt season is driven by investment. Greed? Possibly, but not necessarily. People investing into projects they think they'll make them money.
Bitcoin is the safest bet, but after an initial investment and Bitcoin reaching high enough levels, some may feel confident enough with their earnings and diversify into altcoins.
This is what I think.

Unfortunately with every scam and hack we can hear of, these people may think that it's not worth the risk, say "pass" and diversify into something else.
7887  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks hope to issue their own "bitcoins" to fight BTC on: January 14, 2021, 12:00:39 PM
Honestly who would care about their digital money since they are the same thing as their currencies?

I think that you are misled. They will be launching their own USDT, not Bitcoin. And they have quite a good chance for success. People would trust easier a government than a problematic company. And the central banks can easily charge some fees that used to go into VISA/Mastercard pockets. And obviously they'll also gain the control they are longing for.

Their smiling faces always remind me of the video for Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.
7889  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The higher BTC goes, the bigger the risk/reward ratio and the less buyers enter on: January 14, 2021, 11:10:29 AM
but where will btc find new buyers when it has reached 100k and needs to go up another 100k in order to double again in price?

I guess that there is a misunderstanding on how human psychology works.

The faster the price grows, the more the news advertising this attracting more new buyers, many of them ignoring the risks.
Of course, many of them will sell lower than they've bought when the FOMO bubble bursts, but the ones with patience and who have invested money they did afford to lose will be happy and wise when the next cycle will go on.

Anyone with a tiny bit of understanding for the charts could conclude that it was going up too fast and a correction was bound to happen.
If it was something specific that made the correction happen last Sunday is hard to tell.
Al the rest, especially from the media, is simply noise.
7893  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core error - "The transaction amount is too small to pay the fee" on: January 13, 2021, 11:57:44 AM
I realize the miner fee isn't as low as it was back in 2017, but is the miner fee really 100s of euros these days, or am I doing something wrong?

Miner fee is quite high these days, but it's not fixed. It depends on what you want to send, and not as total. It depends on how you got those coins.
I mean that if your money comes from faucets, for example, and it's a lot of small amounts, the fee will be indeed high. (As an analogy, if you want to send a couple tons of pennies, you'll have to pay for the truck rental too. It doesn't matter if the total is a few hundreds of $.)
I don't know if that's the case, it's you who has to tell us. If it's the case, you may read this thread [Jan 2021] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! and with some patience find a good moment to use the small fees in in your advantage.

Also the fee the wallet wants to pay is an estimation. And I don't know how good that estimation is. More advanced users set custom fee.
But I didn't use Bitcoin core as main wallet for quite a while, so others may give you better ideas.
7894  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: downloading Bitcoin-Qt version 0.8.6 on: January 13, 2021, 09:35:32 AM
Does anyone know where to find this, or any other old bitcoin-qt clients?

If the wallet is indeed corrupted, I am not certain that different exe will help, however, here you are:
Take a look at https://bitcoin.org/bin/insecure/bitcoin-core-0.8.6/ but keep in mind that the fact that path contains the word "insecure" should be a big warning.
Also maybe you find old versions that are not insecure and still work for you: https://bitcoin.org/bin/
Good luck!
7895  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone know an app with a widget that displays btc in different currencies? on: January 13, 2021, 09:30:17 AM
Let's say I want to monitor the price of 0.5 btc in Japanese yen in coinbase as well as the midmarket (XE) price. So it would display live update of the exchange rate of 0.5 btc in yen in coinbase.

If you drop the "0.5 BTC" requirement and it's fine for you to see the price for one entire coin, you can use the widget I am using.
It's far from perfect, but it does the job.
You can choose the coin (not only BTC), the exchange (coinbase, bitstamp, ...) and pair (BTC-USD, BTC-EUR, ...) and another currency you want it converted to (JPY). I am not sure it uses XE for conversion, since it's not my widget, still you can give it a try and see if it's good enough for you. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.phauna.litecoinwidget

I'll add that unfortunately sometimes it has entire hours when it's not updating at all. But that happens rarely enough so I didn't give up on this widget yet  Smiley
7896  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach 100K! OK and then? on: January 13, 2021, 09:19:43 AM
Very interesting.
But it seems to me that bitcoin is now too popular and inaccessible to purchase. We need to look for something else
I am now looking for a new currency that is not yet very popular and not very expensive. Just came across one project

1. You can always buy mBTC or satoshis, you don't have to buy full bitcoin
2. You actually don't want to buy bitcoin, you are just busy shilling whatever altcoin. Please do that in the altcoin related boards, not here.
7897  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach 100K! OK and then? on: January 13, 2021, 09:01:29 AM
Many predicts bitcoin will reach 100K, 160K even 200K and more. but no one say what happen then? what happen when reach for example 100K? will be stable, fall to zero, continue with correction or raise more? what is your suggestion  Huh

I am by no means expert, still, I'll tell you what I expect. I expect it to go much higher than 100k. And at some point it will crash again big.
Where to? Maybe even as low as 20-50k. You may be laughing now when you see these numbers as low. But if it falls there from 100k-500k, many will feel almost like it fell to 0.

Again, I am no expert and this is clearly not a buying advise. Please dyor if you want to invest.
7898  Other / Meta / Re: Meriting a user who just merited you on: January 13, 2021, 08:08:00 AM
Did you ever find yourself thinking: that user just sent me x merits, I will go through his/her post history and find something to merit?

No. But I was thinking "I hope that he won't mind that I don't reciprocate".
However, it did happen to merit the same person's posts after getting merit, but that usually happens because I spend merit ... only if I have what to spend.

Do you feel like it looks like an agreed exchange, even if it isn't?

Sometimes it does, if the merited post is not great.
But I think that most of the time it's not. At least not in the areas I'm reading.

High activity leads to good amount of knowledge, hence to good posts. Also high activity is a requirement for merit source...
You guys are making a lot of good quality posts. Sometimes good posts of yours you see as great get under-merited and maybe that's why you are overthinking it when you receive merit? I don't know.
But I agree to this:

You're overthinking merit.

No matter the reason. If you feel they deserve a merit then merit them. Doesn't need to be anything more or less than that.
7899  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Debit Card (internationally available) on: January 13, 2021, 07:49:30 AM
Looks like your company does offer virtual credit cards. Why not use them? Or are you just trying to find out what other services are out there. In that case, use google lol.

Nice find, LOL!
However, OP was asking about cards that can be used in ATM; if you know how to do that with virtual cards, please teach us  Wink

Didn't know they started offering plastic/virtual cards again. The last time I checked they had some problems with their providers and was offering to only EU regions.

I don't know what you mean by "again". After the Wavecrest problem almost all cards had, AdvCash was among the first few to recover. They've started indeed with EU and iirc Russia too, but that was more than one year ago, so they had time to expand. I don't know if they did expand or just didn't update their FAQ, but it's OP problem to find out.


Edit: I just remembered, OP, you may want to also take a look at [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
7900  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Debit Card (internationally available) on: January 13, 2021, 06:46:10 AM
AdvCash may be working for you, but you'll have to do some research yourself (including the fees, which are not all of them listed and visible). I didn't find UAE in the prohibited countries list from the FAQ.
Also they use to be quite active on this forum too, hence you can ask them about UAE.
