9641  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which altcoin are you mining? on: January 07, 2020, 10:20:25 AM
1. Find out what's your electricity price.
2. You have to tell us if you want to invest in hardware or you are expecting to just mine with your current computer.
2a. If you want to use current computer, the config is important.
2b. If you want to invest, a budget may be important.
3. Ask more precisely what you want to know.

From what I know ETH, GRIN or XMR are good choices. XMR for CPU, especially if you have Ryzen.
Keep in mind that you may have to have a bit of knowledge in computer hardware if you want to build your mining rigs.
9642  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: An uncertain future of Libra! Is it good for the crypto traders? on: January 07, 2020, 09:24:38 AM
A report by QZ says that, Libra will not launch in 2020, the US election year. https://qz.com/1778527/2020-predictions-for-bitcoin-libra-and-the-digital-yuan/amp/

So, is it good for the crypto traders? What is the future of it?

Libra did something interesting: increased even more the awareness about crypto, increased people's trust in crypto and made the regulators/governments start thinking more seriously about crypto.
The fact it's delayed may be good too: it gives the opportunity to others to also rise. And competition uses to be good. Libra would have had no competition if launched early, giving too much power to FB over people's money and data.
There's obviously a bad side of the delay too: the regulators may slow down again. And the truth is that crypto businesses do need proper regulation, else crypto will always be a pariah.

Does anybody even care what this junkie has to say?
He's even bragging now that it was all a lie and brought new users to the space. He's laughing at our faces saying he was lying in every interview for the last year.

A coke addict, a liar, a shitcoin pumper, basically a scum. It's sad that such people are the faces of cryptocurrencies.

The world is bigger than this forum. I think that, although his pockets quite big funds from various crypto projects, he also did a good advertising for Bitcoin and crypto.
Of course, he's a big mouth and he's bragging about everything he can (and more). Of course, we could use better people to advertise Bitcoin, but think that we are not Facebook to have advertising budget.


I don't try to defend him. I just try to be fair. I have passed over the angry-against-him part (for his shitcoins business) and now I simply find him entertaining.
9644  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Connecting a hardware wallet to an exchange & transacting on: January 07, 2020, 08:28:27 AM
Coinbase / Coinbase Pro, like most exchanges, use custodian wallets for you. That means that you have an account and a deposit address in their system.

Hardware wallets usually initialize to a seed (which you should keep super safe!) and based on that seed will generate for you as many addressees you'll need.
Indeed, you'll use the hardware wallet with either their wallet (like Ledger Live), either with a wallet that supports hardware wallets (like Electrum).
The exchange doesn't care about your local hardware wallet. The deposit address they give you it's not yours, it's theirs.


So yes, you'll have to withdraw the funds from exchange to your wallet, paying their withdraw fees or transfer back to exchange, paying the tx fee.
Normally you should keep on the exchange only the money you trade. Of course, you'll have to think in advance and optimize so you don't pay unnecessary fees.
You will also see that in the days there are bigger price fluctuations the network tends to be busier and the tx fees may rise.

He does this unbelievably early. He should have kept the suspense until next winter.
Of course, the actual move is not so much unexpected.

OP, please write that it's a wallet for a coin that was not launched yet and it only has testnet.
If you don't do that you may arise confusion and suspicion.

Also making the Git link more visible is imho a must. I guess that's https://github.com/multilibra
9649  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase V Wirex on: January 06, 2020, 09:04:20 AM
Crypto debit cards are certainly not the cheapest solution to buy crypto.

The only problem I see on proper exchanges (like Coinbase Pro) is that they have certain withdrawal fees which may be too big if one works with small amounts.
But be warned, crypto debit cards (not only Wirex) use to have various "techniques" to disguise a lot of other fees here and there, making their services more expensive than a simple math would show.
9650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Need CC payment solution for website. on: January 06, 2020, 08:59:11 AM
The only anonymous cards I know of are prepaid debit cards, not credit cards.
Since they are usually VISA/Mastercard, any payment processor should accept them.

OP, I think that you should recheck the topic to make sure it is still up-to-date and then change the year in the title to 2020. 2019 is old now and may make people avoid your topic.
9653  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Overview of trusted/recommended Translators on: January 05, 2020, 12:05:37 PM
Although indeed Tszunami98 has done many Romanian translations lately, I've done Romanian translations too in the past and my services are still available (just I didn't spend so much time hunting for them lately).
So I feel that my name could also be on your list.

PS. Great initiative!
9654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Survey: if you have $50k fiat ,will you invest in btc or put it in bank? on: January 05, 2020, 11:51:48 AM
Just what the title says if you have $50k fiat ,will you put on btc or in bank ,which of them will give you bigger profit after 10 years?

The first problem is that if I'd have 50k I'd start with paying my debts to the banks  Grin Grin Grin
But let's ignore that and focus on your question as what you meant.

My answer will be: neither.
I'd buy a flat and rent it out. That would be a pretty stable income over years no matter what.
If any money remains from that then I'd consider Bitcoin.

Why? Because although Bitcoin should give much bigger overall profit, it doesn't go linear. And if I need money I may have to sell at a loss.
9655  Economy / Lending / Re: Requesting a loan of 0.2BTC loan until 1/10/2020 on: January 05, 2020, 11:33:40 AM
If anyone is willing to loan me 0.2BTC, I can pay you back 0.3BTC on 1/10/2020 when I get paid on Friday.

You need to offer proper collateral. If you don't do that, you just spend your and our time. Nice stories are not a valid collateral, hence your fresh red trust feedback.
Since I believe you don't have collateral that can be accepted here (usually digital), your best chance is a pawn shop.
9656  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: what derivation path coinbase is using? on: January 05, 2020, 11:09:09 AM
nobody knows nothing about the way they operate

I'd guess that it's the same with most/all custodian services. I see no reason they would share info about their internals. Every bit of info they share may be exploited by somebody sooner or later.
And that's why you should use a proper wallet instead of a custodian. Install a wallet, backup your seed or private keys safely and you are the master of your money.
Of course, you should install a wallet with public source code, so you can see how it operates  Wink
9657  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 0.0.1 > on: January 04, 2020, 07:46:13 PM
Where can I obtain a copy of the ORIGINAL source code of bitcoin?

From what I know the first few original ones are at Satoshi Nakamoto Institute: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/code/ , among other interesting things  Wink
9658  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do traders spend crypto when they can? on: January 03, 2020, 02:51:13 PM
It's something people seem not to realize fully: some of the people that earn crypto will also spend.
It's the same with the traders. Some will hold more or less of their earnings, some will spend as much as they can. Crypto is money, not only investment.
9659  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving, who's closest with actual Nrs TAKE A CHANCE on the LIST !!! on: January 03, 2020, 10:28:00 AM
I'll try to not be way too optimistic, but I still seem to be on the "high" area of the current list: 12401 - 12450

And I second @Cryptotourist TA




Thanks Mic

Happy New Year!

Bitcointalk on mobile looks like usual. The font is very small, but it's like that for years. If you use firefox and install certain scripts it'll look different, somewhat better.
