901  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I’m thinking about Bitcoin Mining on: July 06, 2017, 12:28:58 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm Interested in mining with my hardware at night,  but I was wondering how would it influence the lifespan of my hardware I'm using a i5 4690
galax gtx 1060
and 16gb ram




I'm not botherd about the temps in my room since my room is always cooled anyways i'm just worried about my hardware itself

Well, unless you are going to hash by hand with a pencil and paper, this won't go far Cheesy Wink

But seriously dude, you are like a few years behind on this. If you feel like you missed out on this, there are plenty of low difficulty, ASIC resistant coins you can still mine. If you speculate on which coins might be valuable in the future,  and mine them yourself, you can make a decent profit still. It's going to be hit or miss though, it's hard to predict which low cap alts are going to perform.

And while you can still mine it, there is always ETH Wink

What is taking Bittrex so long to list this asset? They listed SNT within 24 hours of the ICO, and I know for a fact that the devs have contacted Bittrex at least twice. They may have even paid the spotlight fee; why do you think they are waiting to list the book?
It uses an ETH wallet, and Liqui.io has working wallets for ADX, so why doesn't Bittrex, after all this time?

I think they are buying it at liquio for under ICO, so they can stock the books with it when they open the market. They want the profits from the spike Wink

I think BT is positioning as well. It never takes this long to list a new coin, it's what they are known for. I'm not mad either, the longer this takes, at least while ETH is going up, the more this token will pop when it hits the exchange. Demand us going to be crazy once we get more liquidity. Don't fret, don't sell yet people.

How people are trading ADX on hiBTC ? Since you can t withdrawals or deposits ADX.

edit : the price is going crazy on that plateform
It's always like this on HBtc. People go full retard every time, and it takes HBtc forever to activate wallets on ICO coins.
903  Other / Off-topic / Re: Would you give bitcoin as a wedding gift? on: July 04, 2017, 09:39:52 PM
No sorry for that but my bitcoin is precious to me.  I will give a good amount of money or maybe getting them a trip for honeymoon.  And when they asked where I got my money there I would say about the bitcoin.  Maybe I could encourage them to try it.  If I would give bitcoin as a gift and they do not know anything about bitcoin, perhaps they will not much appreciate it.

Right? To Hell with all that sharing bullshit, I bled for these coins. Angry

They are getting a toaster like everyone else, LOL. Cheesy

But seriously, let's face it people: bitcoin is money. If you give someone money at a wedding, like many people do everyday, the newlywed couple will most likely spend it on important stuff like good, bills, and drugs. If this was gold bars, it would get sold. If it was a stack of fiat, it would be spent. What I'm trying to say is, if you give people value, since most of us are behind a bit it gets spent. The fact that it's bitcoin is just an inconvenience at this point; now they have to find an ATM or register on an exchange. And take a loss. Sad

Give toasters, not bitcoin.
904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin Pump and Dump illegal/legal? on: July 04, 2017, 09:20:00 PM
I hope they are or become illegal very soon. The owners of these groups are taking easy money off of new people that are coming into crypto and don't know how these groups work.

This is illegal as hell already. A decent prosecutor could make a good case for financial fraud. In normal markets regulated by the SEC, it's pretty much illegal to do anything but speculate. Cornering the market, IE buying up everything on a market so you can manipulate the price. And using FUD or manipulating the price of an asset to alter confidence is just as illegal. Most people get in trouble for insider trading, which leads me too..

About bittrex they can't really ban because they have no proof you are part of the pump group you can just say you simply wanted to buy the coin. About the groups i don't really know how it can illegal as bitcoin isn't regulated so there are no rules how you should use it but i do see some groups posting that they have a backup and a legal team. God knows but if you are making profit why do you care just enjoy.

This is so easy to prove. They would simply audit Polo for trades, accounts and IPs. After they match everything up, they would contact you, and interview you. Unless everyone has their story really, really straight (like why everyone decided to trade at the same time), someone is catching a charge.

Do not fuck with the IRS/SEC. You will catch your issue Smiley
905  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Yes, she was charged with assaulting a police officer on: July 04, 2017, 02:23:10 PM
I doubt whether the black lives matter and the other radical and fringe organizations will be interested in this incident, as the girl is white. Had it been a minority person, then they would have gone ballistic over it.
The Black Lives Matter don't always promote what's good even for the black community,  why don't they protest when black gangs killed so many innocent people with their senseless gun fights, if we anticipate to prevent the cops from killing us then we have to stop killing ourselves first.

Simple reason: we expect black gangs, or criminals for that matter to commit crimes. However, when peace officers are more afraid of average Black citizens that criminals are, then, it may turn into an issue. Will you pay me to be afraid of you and possibly shoot you? No taxation without representation, yes?

Why when the specific issue of police brutality against minorities is brought up, there is an attempt to conflate it with minority criminality? Or abortion rates? Yeah, people die, it's fucked up. But in this, we are talking about the folks that wear blue, that seem to be absolutely terrified of normal people who wear black skin. Who taught you to be so afraid?

Why should the rate of Black on Black crime, have any effect on the rate of police on Black crime? It's a good talking point, to try to deflate the brevity of the issue, but can anyone point out a mathematical relationship, or even a causal relationship, on why this should effect how cops treat Blacks?

And If this is the case, and a known thing, then why doesn't this make the police more empathetic?

For the life of me, what is ya'lls issue with Black Lives Matter? It's a protest group. Just like the pro Trump groups. What is so hard to comprehend about feeling unsafe with police? They just shot a motherfucker for carrying legally, and complying. He didn't do shit wrong, except make the officer so fucking nervous in a standard police interaction that he blew his fucking brains out, in front of a kid and a woman. That's what I should expect from the cops? And when my kid goes out of the house, thats what may happen to him?

I can play the same rhetorical games Wink ( note: this is a false argument. If you can't see the fallacies in this, educate yourself)

1) More White Male Americans commit pedophilia than any other racial group in America.

2) White males have the highest incidence of sexual violence against women in America.

3) So no White males should have an opinion about pedophilia or sexual violence, as it is normalized amongst them and should not be a point of concern.


So why is PizzaGate and pedo Podesta a talking point again? Cheesy

Edit: and any sensible human would condemn this, if you are related to a female. I was one of the first, but im not affiliated with BLM. Opinions like yours are the reason it's a waste of time. BLM is a call for understanding to folks that don't care, let alone understand. Police brutality against minorities is the symptom; conservative policymaking is the cause (militarization of civilian police/ non reactive policing strategies). If you aren't rich, you aren't that many steps up the totem pole from a minority when it comes to poor police interactions. Police fear one thing: litigation. And litigation is expensive.

All lives matter man. No one is arguing that. But to black people, in the case of police brutality, Black Lives Matter. That what we are talking about. Police killing black people at a higher rate proportionately than other races. Nothing else. They claim no additional platform, just that simple point of contention.

What's wrong with not wanting to get killed?

Mark Zuckerberg announces "Free money for every one".Everybody looses their minds.Oh a pity it's just for Harvard students.At least they could get the money and finally make their dreams come true,(with one condition).You should pay a kind of tax  for your free money students.
Thank you Mark  Cheesy

Well, Silicon Valley has been hollering for a universal basic income for a while now. It's not just Marky Mark; Elon Musk (such a unique fucking name, I marvel every time) is all for UBI; Bill Gates proposed it as a 'robot tax'.

Don't trust this shit, folks.

It's very interesting that big high-tech companies in Silicon Valley are such gung ho supporters of universal basic income. They don't wish to be the greatest asshole when automation starts to seriously replace low level American workers, the optics will be bad and the public will need an albatross to hang everything on. What better way to head off the worst PR in the history of the world, than to try to correct the problem yourself? And once you start paying the government, it becomes much, much easier to lobby.

Do you want Google paying social welfare? Because Google is a company, with shareholders that must be prioritized. I'd rather a non partisan, tax payer funded source. Something that can't be lobbied. Something that can't be bought off. Something that cannot be subverted.

TLDR: tech companies would be happy to contribute some of their monolithic wealth to fund UBI; this will allow them to have much greater leverage on government decisions. You don't want companies with this much clout in modern government, but, this will happen eventually. The way both sides of the aisle are set up right now with the corporate sponsorship, we will eventually slide into a 'corporatocracy'. Notice how Zuckerburh went from 'I'm eyeing politics' to 'UBI!'. Different means, same end Wink

907  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is violence really the key to a drug-free country? on: July 04, 2017, 12:09:49 PM
Aside from resorting to violence, what are your suggestions or answers to solve and deal with drug addicts and users in your country?

I think there's no solution to drug abuse, violence is just a temporary solution, even if the government was able to determine or catch some of the drug lords here in our country, this kind of business is well coordinated.

AMEN. I don't think we understand how hard it is to run a drug empire without government notice. You can't. Besides the foot traffic, the laundering of funds, the communications that can be recorded, I honestly don't think governments aren't aware of the drug merchants in their territories.

It takes one of your customers, one single time, to be caught and rat on you. People Rollin on their dealers may be more common than fish breathing water. There is little honor at the depths of addiction.

The government only goes after those that have enough assets to seize. The government doesn't really give a fuck about drugs. Drugs, or the arrests they provide, simply fill prisons that get paid to be full, and fine those who can least afford to pay.

Any serious government strategy to curb drug use should have a few key parts:

Education:
Because knowing the real dangers of a Substance is the best preventative.

Rehabilitation:
For those that slip through the cracks, incarcerate them WHILE rehabilitating them. That say you can ensure that the rehabilitation is good faith.

Prevention:
Let me be real. Certain drugs only come from certain places, some examples:

If you are an American and have had cocaine, it came from Mexico. Likewise, low quality marijuana. Inversely, your high quality pot was homegrown, or came from California or Colorado.If you have had real LSD in the last decade (you most likely didn't), it was produced by a Greatful Dead fan with a penchant for science Wink if you had what you thought was LSD in the last 10 years, you most likely had a Chinese manufactured synthetic. Hash is Canadian. Opium is South American. Meth, well, that's Made in The USA™ Wink

I say all that to say this: punishing addicts is like cutting the tops off of a weed, but never pulling it up. As long as the sources remain intact, the weed will regrow, waiting to be chopped down again.  If we don't go after the sources; for example, the Chinese labs where my Greatful friend gets his precursors to manufacture LSD, the shipping routes where coke comes across our southern border. The pharmacies that provide enough OTC cough medicine to convert to meth. The nurses that subvert opiods from institutions for Street sale. The pharmaceutical companies that aggressively market said opiods.

Addicts are low hanging fruit.
908  Economy / Economics / Re: Who supplies us bitcoin? on: July 04, 2017, 12:05:15 AM
Bitcoin, in my opinons has had it up and downs, but who supplies us bitcoin? Faucets can only supply so much before it gets closed down. So that's not a big supplier. Working for bitcoin has declined. I used to make videos and earn bitcoins. But that site has closed down like every other sites or faucets. So who supplies us bitcoins nowadays? Tell us please!

The easiest way to earn bitcoin is to simply earn money Wink

You  are absolutely right. As the price has gone up, the availability of free coins, or click work coins, has gone down.  Get a RL job and buy bitcoin, most crypto income streams will simply not earn you as much per hour as you could working around town. There is the perennial signature campaign, but it might be a while before your account is mature enough to earn a decent income stream Sad

If you were digging the old 'no work free money' concept of bitcoin, try some of the altcoins, specifically the newer ones. There are plenty of faucets still available for coins other than bitcoin, if you can  guess which one will be worth something in the future Wink
909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Viewing And Sending ADX in MyEtherWallet (MEW) on: July 02, 2017, 05:27:58 PM
Hey guys, lot of folks on the ADX Telegram chat asking about how to view and send ADX tokens in ImToken and MyEtherWallet. This should get you sorted Wink

Adding The ADX Custom token to MEW:

Load your wallet containing the ADX into MEW (this should be the address you sent the ETH to the contract with)


Find the 'Add Custom Token' button on the right side of the screen, Under Token Balances



Enter the following details:

Quote
Address: 0x4470BB87d77b963A013DB939BE332f927f2b992e
Decimals: 4
Name: ADX

Submit the forms, and you should be set Smiley

To send ADX ( If you have ImToken for IOS, this will be one of the ways to view/move your ADX balance)

In ImToken:

For Android:
Make sure you have the latest version of ImToken.

Find the hexagon with the plus sign in it, on the main/balance screen of the app. Click it.


It should bring you to the 'Add Assets' screen, with a list of tokens. Scroll to the end, ADX should be there now (they had to add it back end). Should look like this:



IOS: Export your keystore to a secure place you can access (DO NOT DO THIS ON A PUBLIC/UNSECURE TERMINAL!!)

In MEW (If you already have your keystore/priv key, or after you export from ImToken

Load MEW. Select the "Send Ether and Tokens" Option

Load your keystore/phrase/priv key.



You should have the option to send the various tokens attached to your wallet address. To pick the token you want to send, use the dropdown menu that says ETH, located next to the 'Amount To Send' field. ADX must be present in the loaded wallet for the option to become available, you also need to have previously added the ADX token via above instructions.

Sorry I can be more descriptive, I'm on a phone. Feel free to ask questions, enjoy Smiley

It's  a really good news. Everything is going very well. and AdEx Applied to bittrex.
I am looking forward to see AdEx in other exchans and tnx for very fast achievement, I am very happy, I hope to soon enter the exchange market.
AdEx Applied to bittrex ?
 are you suree about that?

Etherdelta has huge pending sell orders below 0.00098. this is about 10% higher then issue price
I was discussing this late last night in the Telegram channel. All this selling pressure on ADX is due to two things; lack of liquidity and weak hands. As far as the liquidity, there are only two places to convert ADX to ETH or BTC; that's EtherDelta (which I can't get to worj,) and Liqui.io . There was only 10 or 15 eth on the buy side; thats not really a lot of ETH considering the total size of the crowdsale. This is why the prices are sub/near ICO; weak hands.

If you need some money back because you spent everything on ADX (don't do this!) , liquidate what you need, but it's a mistake to liquidate your whole position.  Bittrex opening will help this ALOT, but let's hope ETH stops going down Wink

Support email, redact your sensitive information. The heat won't be cute, someone will publically field your question Wink

912  Economy / Economics / Re: Long term argument for bitcoin on: June 30, 2017, 12:46:55 PM
If bitcoin overcomes current issues it has very good perspective for the future. It will stay the strongest cryptocurrency with highest value. Adoption will rise and so will the price, also some countries will regulate bitcoin or at least try to regulate it and to my opinion banks will be interested for Bitcoin too.

What you said, but not Bitcoin. Maybe Ripple or Ethereum Wink I agree it will most likely retain the highest price, but I think the crypto that corporate America adopts will be one of its own inception. Bitcoin is great, established, and trusted. But the very nature of bitcoin makes banks and government wary of it (pseudonymous, non reversible, non regulatable and deflationary). We will see our blockchain in everything, give it a decade. But bitcoin may not be the king at that point.

And I'm not mad at that. As long as it persists, and confidence in cryptos grow, our investments will be safe Wink
913  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paper Wallet - Have I got this right? on: June 30, 2017, 09:34:57 AM

Sorry new to bitcoin and was wondering if the following steps are correct to create a paper wallet.

1.) Create a Bitcoin Address and Private key at bitaddress.org and print it out.

2.) Go to localbitcoins.com and purchase 1 bitcoin from seller and have them send it to my bitcoin address.

Is it as simple as that?

Also is it wise with paper wallets to create a new bitcoin address and private key for each coin, or part of coin, that I purchase for added security?

Thanks



That's it in a nutshell. I just learned a trick with the wallet generation however:

Download the offline wallet generator from bitaddress.org or walletgenerator.net 's github page to your usb disk. The securest way is to create your private key on a freshly installed linux PC without any internet connection. Then use one of those offline paper wallet services and print your keys on a paper. You can't have a safer way than this.

That way, no risk of compromise unless someone is standing in the room.

Also, yes to the fractional coins, if you are going to spend them. If they are going to age and mellow, ID keep sending coins to the same wallet.

If you are looking at a really secure store, but you still want the flexibility of being able to conveniently spend your coins, try a hardware wallet. It's the best of both worlds; secure and relatively easy to access.
914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: New Bitcoin Address on: June 30, 2017, 09:18:44 AM
Hello,

In old days I see there is one address for which we used always now wallets refresh the bitcoin address. How this thing works? I mean how the balance is collected at one wallet of different addresses?

This is to keep you anonymous, the addresses are all linked. Makes it a little bit easier to separate your transactions, and you can give someone an address that isn't your primary, so they can't peek inside Wink

The balance will all end up in the same wallet Smiley and you can reuse the old addresses on clients, BUT BE CAREFUL if you do this on an exchange.

All the coins are dipping right now pretty hard. Status is down to $0.047 on Bittrex, just grabbed some more.

It's absolutely killing me that ETH is sliding down with everything else. Every time I find a decent ICO I actually want to participate in, the price drops dramatically and the network grinds to a halt.

I'm thinking a short downtrend, and then someone is going to buy SNT into oblivion. Even if not immediately, we should see some action come beta release
917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [ADX] AdEx ICO Speculation on: June 30, 2017, 05:20:44 AM
Been lurking on the Getgemz group, someone's asked about the BAT token and possible market competition. I believe the approach he espoused is superior to  Brave's, IE cross platform ability (Chrome and Safari have already dominated this space. It's silly to not make the platform/protocol compatible with these browsers, it puts you at a huge disadvantage). If this technology makes it into a browser extension, like MetaMask, this will be insane.

Quote from: Ivo Georgiev
yes, there's a partnership with stremio, a media center with 4m+ downloads
AdEx is built for adoption
as a first priority
technically, BAT is cross-platform too, but it requires implementation on a browser/user level
AdEx does not, which makes it much easier for publishers (e.g. websites) to start using it w/o compromising their revenues (e.g. by only monetizing brave browser users)

This seems solid, my interest is piqued Wink

They also elaborated on concerns about the timing of the ICO. The team is concerned about the ICO craze, uncapped ICOs specifically) and thinks it could start to affect the market (I know its doing a number on the network, LOL)
918  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [SNT] Official Status Network Speculation on: June 30, 2017, 05:09:38 AM
I wouldn't sell this coin too early. They promised a great app so why wouldn't I wait and see what they come up with? It's a long term investment for me. I don't care about Bittrex price. It's pretty cheap btw. You can still buy and invest for long term.

This is where I'm at. I picked up a little bit more in the dips, this isn't a token that's going to pop immediately. The value lies in holding this for a while, like Adex tokens (ICO ia about to open up soon!) They at least have a prototype, which is a lot to be said (although it's a bit buggy ATM). These are protocol tokens, tokens that essentially add layers of functionality and can be developed third party, are the future of blockchains. This isn't a short term asset, none of these are. You want to hold something like this at least 6 months, and let the product develop value as they move through the roadmap.

Plan accordingly Wink

Your potential for growth is limited, it kind of makes you just want to give up. People assume they know your character because of how you look, it's frustrating to say 'Hello Ma'am' to an older white lady in Walmart, and have her glare at you.
I'm white, and it's hilarious to see some white people assume that they know whether black people experience racism.  The only group you can ask about if black people experience racism is black people, and if a large amount of them say yes then they do.  That's just basic logic.

I thought Greenbits was black. I believe I heard him mention somewhere that he's from Africa. Starts with M, I think it's Mozambique.
That was intended to be support for his views, because of all the people trying to discredit what he says about the existence of racism.  I can see how it might have been confusing now.

Hehe, thanks bruvs, and yes I'm Black, but I reside in North Carolina, by way of Louisiana. I think it's Slow Death (the guy with the ant in an army hat avatar) that lives in Africa, I might be mistaken though.

We haven't even talked about the Chinese and American Railroad construction. Or the Irish.

and Oburkabinladin, I apologize for dismissing you this morning. I had a rough start, took that out on you, and you responded poorly, but I initiated all of that. To actual respond to you, I think genocide is a retroactive destination, that is legislative policy, or cultural practice that physically harms and reduces the genetic viability of a specific population of people. For example. I don't think the monolithic intent of the Trail of Tears was genocide (we will ignore the smallpox blanket shaped elephant for the sake of this argument), but we can't argue that was the effect. An exercise in relocation turned into a decimation. Same with California's foray into eugenics:

Quote
As an early leading force in the field of eugenics, California became the third state in the United States to enact a sterilization law. By 1921, California had accounted for 80% of the sterilizations nationwide. This continued until World War II, after which the number of sterilizations began to decrease, largely due to the fallout of Hitler's eugenics movement.[1] There were about 20,000 forced sterilizations in California between 1909 and 1963.[2]

If that's not genocide, I have plenty of other colorful words for it. Eradication. Extermination. Genetic repression. Dire harm with malicious intent.
