In other words, you can't actually say that hardware random number generators are not "natural" (pardon the double negative) as they are what can be found in nature and as random as nature itself goes and does

That's correct. But I expect that all online casinos use software random number generators. Of course, whether the majority uses one or another, may need to be asked/verified.

I couldn't find the other thread, so I assume he edited the post with the voting results: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5206366.0

It's there. It's actually the last paragraph from the topic you linked.
I've already seen at least 2 other threads on this same subject. I wish people would use more the search feature...

It may worth adding that usually in computer science pseudo-random numbers are generated. Truly random (?) values are only to be found in nature. And pseudo-randomness may, strangely(?), be closer to what you expect in statistics.

9824  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Unable to send BTC in electrum from imported wallet era 2011 on: December 03, 2019, 10:35:39 AM
I am almost sure that you've imported addresses into Electrum. Doesn't Electrum show by chance [imported, watching only]?
If you don't import private keys or seed you cannot sign, hence you cannot spend.

The only way to prove your ownership so you can spend is by private keys.
Please try to find and import private keys or seed. Make sure you don't post those here (!)

I am not sure why you need so many keys, but you should know that Windows 10 works just fine without any key, forever.
So unless you really need cosmetic features like changing your background color, you don't need keys at all.

Its a cloud mining and

You should have read before investing. The huge majority of so-called cloud mining sites are simply scam. Most of them are Ponzi schemes.
From what I read they try to lure you "invest" more and more, for various reasons.
The initial offering was already way too good to be true.
You've got scammed. Sorry.

You should have at least googled for scam "set-mining.com". You would have seen that others were already scammed too, or asked and were told that it's definitely a scam.
9827  Other / Meta / Re: It's about time bitcointalk addresses the worst kind of spam on: December 02, 2019, 02:13:09 PM
Simply outright disallowing links on a user's first post could be an easy fix.

It could be an easy fix, well, depends on theymos' time, but how useful would it be like this? As you said, not much.

As others proposed: ask him to disallow links for "brand new" and "newbie" too. So they'll need to gain 1 Merit before they can post links.
Of course he can also link this to Copper Membership too.
This is the best possible option imho.

Disconnect from the net by removing LAN/WiFi Cards, zero-fill/wipe drive and reinstall the OS; and boom, it's cold storage.

And also make sure it never ever goes online again, or, if you plan to ever go online, you should wipe first to leave no traces of that wallet.


PS. Live OS-es seem to be pretty well suited for this "cold wallet" task

but in my LTC wallet on Cryptonator.com is still 0.00 LTC I open a ticket to support
but there is no answer yet... Sad
do you have any soulutions??

Since they don't provide the private keys it's solely them who own those wallets and it's only them who can fix / give you access to the money from that account.
So the only option you have it's to get them to the fix. You'll have to wait more, or maybe find other ways of communicating with them and ask them about the status of your ticket (you can post ticket number, but don't post other, more sensitive info). Twitter can be an option, and although they don't post often, they did post 12h ago there.



Edit: and please don't post the same topic in multiple areas
9830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bakkt Futures Set New Record, 3151 Bitcoin Worth $23M Traded on: December 02, 2019, 08:37:59 AM
I'm not sure that 3151BTC was actually purchased, either.

From what I know Bakkt futures are backed with actual Bitcoin, so they should actually buy those.... am I wrong?


Bakkt uses physically settled futures rather than cash settled futures (like CME and CBOE)

Lol, network hashrate tripled in just 2 days

Since it's easier to mine it, I fear the Monero price will fall even more  Sad
Oh well, happy mining everybody.

9833  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest Shopping Mall in USA Goes All in BTC ATMs for Holiday on: December 02, 2019, 08:12:32 AM
During the holidays, the banks and also local bitcoin exchangers are usually closed and hence having a bitcoin ATM is a blessing for those who want to cash out bitcoins during the holidays. I will someone may publish the list and location of all the bitcoins atm's in my city.

...And this will work until the cash from those machines gets depleted, which I expect to happen quicker than for the old style ATMs.
And for a list of ATMs you can always try https://coinatmradar.com/ ; I don't know how much up-to-date it is around you, but .. it's more than nothing.
9834  Economy / Speculation / Re: MasterLuc new long term prediction on: December 02, 2019, 08:01:40 AM
The progression went like this:

1. Bottom at $3,000- in December 2018.
2. Test of log trend at $10K-$20K. This already happened with the December-June run to $13,800s.
3. Fall back to $6,000 area by 2020. The tag of $6,500s the other day may have been close enough, but we may still go lower.

Thanks for this.

When we were trading in the $3,000s last December, the idea of reaching $10K-$20K in 2019 seemed equally out of reach. During bear season, we always tend to underestimate the honey badger.

I don't say 20k is untouchable. My fears were that we may need a bit longer time frame.
But I missed the June part (I was thinking that he means a new price rise in the next months, a rise much closer to the ATH), so... I guess I have to read more.
You guys shattered my bubble.

So, according to this traingle picture we will see something around 4K till next year.

I guess that instead of complaining that the price is falling, I'll have to learn to enjoy it  Shocked , since the faster we get over it the better.
9835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: XMR RandomX on: December 01, 2019, 06:07:17 PM
Let me try again, with my guesses.

1.There wasn't drop in nethash or difficulty because of missing assics.

Maybe there are no asics, only fpgas, which probably need less hassle with the algorithm change.

2.There is increase with at least 1/3 of the nethash and difficulty.

Probably the same devices can provide better hash rate (on same or less power) hence the rise.

I am not sure it's a problem or not, but I guess I better tell.
There's one guy proposing a shady business (withdraw 7$ from gambling site) and (I guess it's for legitimacy) he wears Bitsler signature and avatar.

9837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: XMR RandomX on: December 01, 2019, 04:47:56 PM
The reason you don't get the best answers is that you ask in the wrong place. Keep in mind that there's a Monero thread where's preferred you'd discuss this.
Your answer is... from there:

Hashrate per unit of energy expended is significantly higher for RandomX. That's why the hashrate and difficulty are increasing.
9838  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I Buy Bitcoin Now? on: December 01, 2019, 04:31:20 PM
As far as I know right now bitcoin price is little bit low and in near future price will rise again. So I think it is best time to buy Bitcoin.

Nobody can know what the future holds and nobody should tell you what to do with your money. It's up to you to decide.
The price is down.. compared to this year's max and the all-times-high from 2017. But it's twice the price from the start of this year.
So.. do as you think. If it jumps fast, you'll feel like you've missed the train; if it falls more, you'll wait until... it jumps and .. you know the drill  Cheesy
Or you can buy fixed amount every X days no matter what, and by doing this you will somewhat "equalize" the gains/loses.

User: Wysi

I see newbish question about price fluctuations asked here http://archive.is/iT7R7
And I see the account is from January 2014 and here (this year) (!!!) and here (in the past) he is discussing on the same subject easily.
I was close to tag him, then I thought I better ask around. Now (after seeing that other post from last month) I am less certain.
9840  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's going on? on: December 01, 2019, 04:01:01 PM
What's going on with the market as everyday you can see a quick pump or dump which was not the case until last one month? I thought it's done by whales but I don't think they will do it so often. Who is creating these fluctuations and where will this lead us? Bull run or bear market?

Bitcoin and actually all crypto prices are highly volatile. As said, 5% variation is not a big deal. Even 7-9% are not unusual. But you should know this.


Quite odd for a Sr. member of this forum that do ask these basic things when it comes to Btc price.

Yup. Account from January 2014?!
