They made a new campaign and they are paying 0.0007 BTC to 50 people. I was paid.

Ofc this is not enough to prove anything... they  are accused of a very dishonest behavior, using other people' pictures in their team without authorization. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104319.0

It is very hard to clean up a reputation once you tainted it...
9682  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: REWARD €100: Funds not visible after using XPub native segwitt Ledger on: April 16, 2020, 06:26:48 PM
If you are not using a passphrase on the Ledger, you could simply import the seed into electrum and sweep it into a new Ledger account (new seed and all, because you've exposed the previous one when importing).

Don't do that. This is against all security procedures recommended by the manufacturer of the hardware wallet.. It will expose your funds, your seed and defeats the whole purpose of using a hardware wallet.

Ledger company made a guide on how to properly use your ledger nano with electrum wallet, without exposing your seed.

Have you received many payments?
It is possible that some of your funds are in addresses which Ledger Live app is not scanning.

I would try to use Electrum with your hardware wallet (don't make a watch-only wallet).
Download Electrum from Electrum.org

Then go here to learn how to connect electrum to your ledger wallet:
https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005161925-Set-up-and-use-Electrum



In Electrum, you should scan for more addresses:

Go show menu > view console, switch to console tab and type:

Code:
wallet.change_gap_limit( 150 )

This will make your wallet scan for the next 150 addresses. Your funds might be there. You can try a bigger number if you wish. It is possible that your funds are in another derivation path as well.

What was your payment processor? Maybe we can get more info from their website?

People can get details of how you spend your money. Using a public address as a public person let's everyone see what you are doing with your money.

That's not exactly true.
You can see that bitcoin went to another address, but addresses are mostly unknown and anonymous.

If you are paranoid, you can have a public through out address where you can receive money and them just "clean" those bitcoins in a bitcoin mixer, for example.

I miss the days when there used to be the announcements and every one of us used to flood the topic with applications :-P

I agree... I always come here to see if there is an announcement for open slots or something like that. But the news applications are still flooding the topic and bumping it many times a day lol

I have 2 questions for you mate.

1) Where does it download the blockchain file? Bitcoin.org?
Image: https://i.imgur.com/NyyNdOp.png
You can download it at https://bitcoin.org/en/download
But I recommend that you try electrum first, which is easier to use. Download only from https://www.Electrum.org

Quote
2) While sending the bitcoins, does it sum all of my transactions in the blockchain to see if my BTCs I'm telling it to send exist?

Yes, of course it does.
You can check any transaction that every happen in the blockchain network here:

https://blockchair.com/

For example, this is a blockchain address with some transactions:

9689  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: STABLECOINS CAN STOP HYPERINFLATION? on: April 15, 2020, 05:59:08 PM
1. Can this new digital solution address volatility and stop economies from having hyperinflation?

1. Of course not. As mk4 said, stable coins are like printing fiat money. They will just speed up inflation.


Stablecoin exists to address volatility associated with bitcoin and altcoins.
...
4. What's bitcoin effort in trying to solve volatility problem?

They do not exist for that reason. Volatility is not a problem to be addressed and solved. It is just a consequence of the uncertainty of the future of cryptocurrency assets. As long as this future remains unknown, as being completely forgotten or mass adopted, the price will be very volatile.

You are thinking everythhing the wrong way Wink
9690  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm a bitcoin beginner, should I buy this book? on: April 15, 2020, 05:49:50 PM
Thank you for your answers. About that. Did satoshi created a software so we can mine? From pc.

That is exactly what satoshi did. This software is called bitcoin core, which there is a link here in the upper part of the forum's website:
Quote
News: Latest Bitcoin Core release: 0.19.1 (https://bitcoin.org/en/download) [Torrent (https://bitcointalk.org/bitcoin-0.19.1.torrent)]

That software is a full node wallet. It will download the entire blockchain, which is about 250Gb.

But you can use lightweight wallets, such as Electrum.
9691  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm a bitcoin beginner, should I buy this book? on: April 15, 2020, 05:19:44 PM
mastering bitcoin is all about the technical aspect of bitcoin (keys, addresses, network, cryptography, security,...). OP seems to be looking for the economical aspect of bitcoin though according to the book he linked.

I think Internet of Money have some more information about those economical aspects of bitcoin. He could give a try.



Well I have some questions like "Why does bitcoin value?",
All those queestions are answered in Mastering Bitcoin book that I told you earlier.

Bitcoin has value for many reasons, one of them is scarcity and the adoption. There are millions of people using the network.

"How does mining gives you bitcoins? I mean, why these hard math solutions worth something?",
It is called proof of work. Miners make a service, which is: secure the network, choose which transactions should be confirmed, create new blocks, etc.

I made a brief summary about proof of work here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3317586.msg34646752#msg34646752

"Why is there a fee when I want to send a bitcoin? Does miners get that?",
THere is a fee for transferring because nothing is free in this world. Miners are working to confirm your transactions, so it is fair that they receive a fee for that service.


"Who confirms that I transfered bitcoins so it can be written in the blockchain? Are they just 6 random guys?".
No, they are the miners. Thousands of them out there. Anyone with a computer and internet connection can be a miner
9692  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crptocurrency traders please help out on the legitimacy on this much appreciated on: April 15, 2020, 01:53:17 PM
Was willing to help me by giving me inside information on investments via cryptocurrency and is willing to walk me through it.
Ofc this is dangerous.
Inside information for trading is a crime. Nothing good will come from this. I would stay away and I advise you to do so.

You think you are smart and will make easy money, but there is always someone smarter and you will probably lose it.
9693  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Cryptotalk Future on: April 15, 2020, 01:28:01 PM
It is possible that they even made some money out of that.

There must have been companies interested in advertising in their forum, as that forum still have a high number os visitors every day... It is possible that they are paying only a a few % of that money to spammers.
9694  Local / Português (Portuguese) / Re: CAMPANHAS DE ASSINATURAS ATUALIZADAS on: April 15, 2020, 12:55:04 PM

Engraçado. Na hora de anunciar piramides, fraudes, scams, ICOs fraudulentas, dentre outras maracutaias, a aba local do bitcointalk serve. Quando são coisas rentáveis e honestas ai não pode. Continuo com minha opinião. É preconceito sim.

Acho que aqui é mais fácil de pegar trouxas também.
O pessoal aqui se acha mais esperto, quer ganhar dinheiro fácil... muita gente que tem até cultura e informação entra em piramide sabendo que é piramide, querendo sair antes do negócio explodir.

Teve uns anos atrás que deu uma febre com essas piramides aqui no país. Era negócio de GPS, bebom, monavi, seil a mais o que... tinha um conhecido que vivia querendo me empurrar isso.

9696  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Useful thread wayback in year 2011 on: April 14, 2020, 12:06:35 AM
Well, this looks a good thread, but it is certainly out of date.

There were many advances in bitcoin security and good practices since 2011, for example, deterministic wallets, new softwares, new hardware (wallets, asics, etc) and so on.

It's a good thread but There are many other guides updated here in this forum.
9697  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Want to Know on: April 13, 2020, 11:41:56 PM
Is this an opportunity for investors to buy and accumulate before the halving cycle occurs?"

This is a good opportunity to accumulate not only bitcoin, but also stocks, precious metal, bonds, etc.

It is also very risky. The best time to buy is when blood is on the streets...

Waiting for credit

Credit received!!

The first thing I noticed is the sound... the sound is too loud and agitated, I didn't like it. Just turned off in the first few seconds.


It is a very interesting game.
I never player this game before, or any other like it.

It took me a few bets to clearly understand it. My first bet I made about 20x and it kept going up for some time...

The game concept is very interesting and it looks like "easy money" at first glance. Just cash out with small gains, and it is possible to keep your money and make a little more.
However, after playing it for a while, the system really surprised me. Sometimes it goes like 60x and other times like 1.1x.

I liked the game, very original.

Suggestion:
I just couldn't find how to get back to the game after clicking in my account page. I was stuck there and couldn't go back. I had to manually type https://www.betnomi.com/ to get back to the game. Please, just make a giant button: BACK TO THE GAME

Bug report: In the Account page there is a page called My Bets (https://www.betnomi.com/#/account/my-bets/history). There are none bets there, although i have played more than 20 bets.
I could my bets history in my balance history (https://www.betnomi.com/#/account/my-wallet/balance-history).
Please fix, so people could track better their bets.

Withdrawal: After playing 29 bets I decided to withdrawal my 5.13 USD. I wasn't requested to KYC, only my name and birthday and country. It was fine.
Received my 5 USD after a few hours. No problems.
9699  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What will happen if all miners stop mining? on: April 11, 2020, 12:46:53 PM
Actually it will be not dead and also not alive, more like a virus.
If all miners quit there will be no more blocks, no more confirmed transactions, so no activity on the chain but at the same time, even if 100 years pass and suddenly a single miner decides to mine it will come back..alive.



I don't think what you described can happen.

Even if hash rate suddenly drop very hard  blocks would still be confirmed  at a very slow rate (let's say 1 per hour  , as more people with GPU would start mining.

Additionally , if one block per hour is a pain in the ass and community cant wait until a difficult adjustment, a fork would solve this.

The network could be forked and the difficult adjusted, or mining could be changed to be more GPU friendly.

Obrigado pelas respostas pessoal,

Vou pesquisar mais sobre os períodos mencionados, infelizmente é difícil achar material de qualidade na internet.

Eu vejo que a preocupação com a deflação faz certo sentido. Se o seu dinheiro vale mais amanhã, melhor você gastar amanhã, e isso geraria uma falta de liquidez enorme na economia.

Por exemplo, eu quero um carro, mas não preciso agora. Se o carro hoje custa 50.000, mas daqui a 3 meses irá custar 48.000, é melhor eu esperar uns meses e comprar com desconto.
Contudo, com alguns bens isso já acontece e mesmo assim as pessoas continuam comprando. Por exemplo, bens de tecnologia: computadores, tvs, jogos de video game, etc, esses bens sempre ficam mais baratos alguns anos depois. Mas mesmo assim as pessoas compram pq elas querem aqueles bens imediatamente. É melhor ter uma TV hoje do que amanhã.

Enfim, é um tema que é do meu interesse.
