Nice kabayan!!! Smiley How time flies, it's already your 10th week of cool but creative "What If".

Anyways, I will gladly help others who are struck by disaster, that's typical of us Filipinos to help each other in times of need, and specially that Christmas is coming, definitely I will extend help to the best of my ability. As the Golden Rule says, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

In terms of online security, Tokyo 2020 Staff Warns of Phishing Disguised As Official Emails.

So it looks like criminals are targeting agencies related to Tokyo 2020 or maybe the athletes themselves. Perhaps they wanted to steal credentials here or maybe exposed most of them and ask for a ransom.

Naisipan kong gawin ang top 10 altcoins at sllipin ang presyo relative sa kanilang all-time-high. Mapapansin na sila ay halos nasa 65%-95% na bagsak. Nakakapag taka na ang BSV ni CSW ay nasa 65% lang ang bagsak kumpara sa BCH na 95%. Lima sa mga to ay > 90% parin below their all-time-high. Litecoin na nag block halving this year at malayo parin. Samantalang ang Tezos na kapapasok pa lang sa top 10 nitong nakaraang linggo at ganun din.

Baka iba sa inyo ay may mga hawak pa nito, so naway bumalik sa dati ang sigla ng altcoin market sa papasok na 2020.  Grin

7967  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong granted patent for sending BTC thru email on: December 20, 2019, 12:05:37 PM

Send cryptographic currency to email address

Abstract

A system and method for transaction bitcoin is described. Bitcoin can be sent to an email address. No miner's fee is paid by a host computer system. Hot wallet functionality is provided that transfers values of some Bitcoin addresses to a vault for purposes of security. A private key of a Bitcoin address of the vault is split and distributed to keep the vault secure. Instant exchange allows for merchants and customers to lock in a local currency price. A vault has multiple email addresses to authorize a transfer of bitcoin out of the vault. User can opt to have private keys stored in locations that are under their control. A tip button rewards content creators for their efforts. A bitcoin exchange allows for users to set prices that they are willing to sell or buy bitcoin and execute such trades.

I'm sure that Brian will take advantage of his ivtention with his Coinbase here. And it's going to be interesting if other exchanges will use his patent on their side as well, so let's see how it goes.

7971  Local / Pilipinas / [Gabay]: Paano gumawa ng extended seed sa Electrum on: December 20, 2019, 02:12:42 AM
Alam natin natin na ang Electrum ay isa sa pinaka magandang wallet sa ngayon dahil ito at light weight. Pero alam nyo ba na pwede kayong gumawa ng extended o custom seed nito para mas lalong ma protektahan ang wallet nyo? Well sapat na ang 12 seed na binibigay nito, pero pag na hack na ang seed nyo siguradong limas ang BTC. So sa pamamagitan ng extended seed, kahit manakaw ang seed nyo hindi basta basta makukuha ng hacker ang BTC kasi kailangan nya ang extended seed na kayo lang ang nakakaalam.

So narito ang mga steps:

1. The usual process na mag create ng bagong wallet sa Electrum pero pag dating sa step binigyan na kayo ng seed, mapapansin nyo na may "Options" button doon, i click nyo to at pagkatapos ay i check ang
"extend the seed with custom word" then click OK.



2. Click ang "Next" at mapupunta kayo sa screen na katulad nito, pwede nyo na ngayon ilagay kung anong seed extension ang gusto nyo. Syempre mas mainam eh ung kayo lang talaga ang makakaalam nito.



At ituloy ang processo ng pag gawa ng wallet.

Heto ang na generate na address na ang seed at extended seed:

Seed:
Code:
 winner position live vote keep gown leave focus position turtle quote guard
Extended seed:
Code:
 Test 1 Test2 Test 3 [space] 



Gumawa ako ng wallet na "I have a seed already" option.  At ginamit ang parehong seed sa itaas.



Pansinin nyo na magkaibang magkaiba ang bitcoin address. Yung nasa kaliwa ay seed lang at yung sa kanan ay seed with extended seed option.

So magandang pang decoy o dummy addresses. O katulad nga ng nabanggit ko in worst case scenario na na phished o na hacked ang seed natin hindi basta basta mananakaw ang BTC natin.

Pwede nyong subukan yan for educational purposes. Nandyan naman ang seed at extended seed na ginamit ko.

Just for the record though, this is the official product:

We can't really say that it is not popular, Bakkt started slow as well, but the last time I checked they've reach record volumes. Besides there's more hype on Bakkt than ErisX physical bitcoin future contracts offering. But we will have to see what will be the impact on the market.

7976  Economy / Speculation / Re: Two Years Ago, Bitcoin Was Over $19,000 — What Happened? on: December 18, 2019, 08:54:21 PM
2017 was just a bubble waiting to be burst. Lots of irrational buyers that time that really push the price to it's breaking point, so obviously it did go down, and go down hard. And this market is fairly new, we haven't seen that kind of meteoric rise before that's why many believed that the price will continue on its parabolic rise. But all signs are pointing that it had bubbled already, but investors chooses to ignore this signs. So let's wait for the next bubble to occur, 2021 (4 year cycle)?

Expensive lesson here mate. Mistakes do really happen even if you're an experience player, even if you notice it, I assumed it will be too late as the balls might be rolling already and you do hope that you're gonna win. I think in every games we play, there could be some fatal mistakes that can ended your day, like slots, when you can click max bet, etc. We just need to be careful or focus when playing specially on-line.

7979  Bitcoin / Legal / Kraken sued by ex-employee on: December 18, 2019, 12:12:08 PM
Official court documents:

https://www.docdroid.net/rbU65Yu/07071236.pdf

Allegations/Summary:

Quote
Runyon started work at Kraken as a financial analyst on 26 March 2018. Kaiser Ng, Kraken’s chief financial officer, was his immediate boss.

Runyon’s first assignment, starting 30 March, was to help with an audit. Ng told Runyon to “come up with anything for the audit list that would satisfy the questions without regard to how accurate the info was” — Ng wanted whatever would “check the box.”

In August 2018, Ng asked if he could use Runyon’s home address as his own — on legal, licensing and banking documents.

Ng claimed concern for his family’s safety, having heard of kidnappings related to crypto exchanges. Runyon wasn’t convinced, so Ng offered to pay Runyon $1,600 a month rent for a room in his apartment, so Ng could use that address on official forms. Runyon says Ng never paid the rent.

Runyon was concerned that several of the countries that Kraken dealt with were on the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals And Blocked Persons List. That is — they were sanctioned, and it was hugely illegal for Kraken to operate in those countries.

In March 2019, Runyon was asked by Ng to reconcile Kraken customer account balances with the company’s bank balances, in various currencies. Runyon discovered that Kraken’s bank accounts were millions of dollars short, compared to the total customer funds that Kraken should have had on hand.

Runyon called this to Ng’s attention — he was worried that someone had found their way into the system, and was bleeding the funds. Ng immediately removed Runyon from the project.

Around 7 May, Runyon noticed that two employees’ stock options grant vesting schedules were different in the program to what had been set in the 27 November 2017 Board minutes. He assumed it was an error, and corrected it. One of the two employees contacted him to learn how to exercise their options — and Runyon saw the numbers had changed back.

Runyon asked Ng about this. Ng told him the board was amending the terms — and that it wasn’t an issue because … the employee didn’t know about it.

Runyon asked to use some of his paid time off to deal with the stress of long hours at work, having taken none in over a year of employment. Ng approved the leave — then fired Runyon over Zoom chat on his first day of leave, nine days after the second time Runyon had brought the stock options issues to Ng’s attention.

https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2019/12/17/kraken-exchange-sued-by-whistleblowing-ex-employee-allegations/

What do you guys think? It looks like the whistle blower "exposed" what we knew about exchanges from behind, there are a lot of tricks being pulled to just fit their narratives, specially how Runyon found out that the exchanges are short of millions of dollars.
