1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has disappeared on: March 07, 2021, 01:00:30 PM
1. Lightning network is not a Bitcoin transaction way
2. Segwit is not a Bitcoin transaction way
3. Blocks larger than 1M are not Bitcoin blocks
4. The rapidly increasing price is a sharp knife to Bitcoin

I was shocked that during the hard fork of bitcoin cash, there was no bitcoin that rejected segwit and refused to expand the block. At this time, bitcoin became not bitcoin.

Transaction volume and fees are not the flaws of the original Bitcoin.

I can understand that the user pays transaction fees to buy the bytes of the block, so the byte of the block is a commodity, and the quantity of this commodity is fixed. The demand comes from the fact that the trader needs this byte to confirm the transaction.

Therefore, expanding the block is like increasing the Bitcoin limit of 21 million, and segwit removing the signature data is like buying half of the goods. This is cheating, deceiving, not innovating. As for the lightning network, I can’t understand everyone looking forward to the lightning network

lightning network

This is to fundamentally change Bitcoin and reconsolidate the decentralized rights into the hands of a few people. Segwit is increasing the rights of miners, and expanding blocks is to issue more commodities to miners, just like the right to print money for miners.

These are not the way of Bitcoin. The transaction volume is a pseudo-demand. This is not a real problem. The real function of money is not to pay the bills. The function of money is to store value.
It is naive to imagine Bitcoin to buy coffee, but people can use Bitcoin to buy coffee consumption cards or coffee points. This is okay, and there is no problem of privacy leakage.

The centralization of small consumption is not a problem, because small consumption itself is decentralized. When gold and silver are currency, no one has ever come out and say, let us change gold, change silver, let us change gold and silver When copper coins are used, they can’t be used as copper coins to buy coffee. Is that still money?

So, the original Bitcoin has disappeared forever on #478559 / 1 August 2017 (3 years ago)

Now that there are bitcoin core and bitcoin cash, they can’t be said to be the original bitcoin, they are modified versions of bitcoin.


As for how Bitcoin disappeared, the reason is the price. The huge price increase created the illusion of success of Bitcoin. But, when Bitcoin and price are closely linked, Bitcoin cannot be used. This price increase is traditional currency issuer attack, no one noticed

The currency issuer has successfully controlled the development of Bitcoin. A few people decide the way forward and change the way Bitcoin is traded. Everyone thinks it is technological advancement?

Bitcoin is just the same ledger shared by many people. Now everyone is discussing, let's change the accounting method. Unfortunately, this proposal has been successful.

I don’t know if someone rejected segwit at the fork and refused to expand the block of Bitcoin. If so, please let me know. I can say loudly that Bitcoin has not disappeared.

How much Bitcoin is worth, the focus has become traditional money, not Bitcoin. The abnormal price growth has attracted a large number of investors, not users.

Investors continue to change Bitcoin, making Bitcoin a perfect story, but it is only a story. Investors say that they want to replace Visa, but they don’t say why they want to replace Visa. It’s just a valuation of Bitcoin based on Visa.

The user looks at the rapidly increasing price and can no longer buy  bitcoin in a short time. The investor said that you can buy 0.00001 bitcoin and it will be very valuable in the future, trying to convince the user to become an investor.

It is the high price that makes Bitcoin unavailable for daily use, not the transaction volume and Bitcoin transaction fees.

It can be said that Bitcoin must have a high price, because as the number of users increases, the demand will rise. This is true, but what is needed is as the number of users increases, not as the price increases. The number of investor will increase.

Traditional currency issuers, using money as a sharp sword, successfully allowed Bitcoin to be used only for large speculation, and then manipulated the market, making Bitcoin a sword that stabs people and harvests people money.

This is not Bitcoin. This is a dog of a traditional currency issuer. The wolf is attracted by the printed food and surrenders the rope to control itself.

This is a sad story. Maybe the price of Bitcoin will get higher and higher in the future, but this is not the success of Bitcoin, it is the success of traditional currency issuers. No matter how much it increases, the only purpose of Bitcoin is to convert it into traditional currency that can be used.

So, Bitcoin will not become money, so how can you buy coffee? In order to allow Bitcoin to buy coffee and change Bitcoin into an investment product, is this a huge joke?

What is the reason why the usage rate of segwit has not been high? It can reduce transaction costs and change the address format.

There is also an HD wallet problem. This thing is also very bad, but it is completely accepted. Use seeds to generate an unlimited number of addresses. You only need to remember a dozen words to use these bitcoins. It looks good, but it will Bring great insecurity.

The developer completely isolates the technology from the user, and the user does not know what address, private key, public key, and signature are. These things should be extremely simple, so that all users understand what is protecting Bitcoin, not a dozen words Protecting the funds they have worked so hard to get.

Human beings are very fragile individuals. They will forget and leak. Even words written on paper are sometimes lost. When HD wallet leaks or is lost, all bitcoins will disappear.

HD wallet does not increase security, but it can reduce the number of wallets. HD wallet can only increase the convenience of multi-account use of transactions.

Multiple accounts and identity isolation

These should be done by users themselves, not by developers instead of users. Users can generate multiple Bitcoin addresses, completely independent, and will not lose all Bitcoin due to the leakage or loss of a dozen words.

Bitcoin does not need frequent upgrades, it is just a shared ledger, but now it is hiding the ledger, changing the ledger, and allowing users to use it without knowing it.

Only when people can understand the private key and public key, and after signing, will they be able to use Bitcoin with confidence, instead of trusting a wallet program and not even knowing what they are backing up.

Anyone can understand Bitcoin. This is not advanced technology. It is just a method of bookkeeping. It does not need to become more and more complicated. Anyone who says that ordinary people cannot understand Bitcoin is wrong.

This is what I said, Bitcoin has disappeared.

I think Bitcoin Gold is what you seek, they wanted the true bitcoin, mining with GFX cards only, no ASIC wars, everything else is the same as pre 2017 Bitcoin.  Have fun. And good luck staying poor.

John McAfee chose DOGE for his "Coin of the Week". He tweeted it earlier. That's going to give it a pump over the coming days.

Right now though the entire market is down.

Cheers J for my 14 Doge.  0.004 LTC on there way to your address.  Transaction ID: 338643cfff371d5e5b861384fd1c315187fe0e740e0988a637ce320256176a97

1000 Doge now Sold. Now only hold Doge Dust after 4 years of Doge HODLING 100k.  Bought 5.4 LTC with it.

Good Luck Doge HODLers.

Bump. come on Dudes someone has to be able to tip me 14 Doge for a 5 x value LTC reward!  No one? Seriously? I'm gonna have 986 Doge stuck on HitBTC forever!!!
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin - v1.10.0 on: January 07, 2018, 08:56:20 PM
What happened to this coin? I see a powerful bullish trend but I can not understand the reasons for this. I thought that there was some news on this project, but found nothing.
King of tokens!!

Doge was a big thing back in 2013/14. I mined millions of them and traded them for BTC or LTC. I kept 100k Doge for old times sake, until yesterday.  Cry

Need help for anyone holding spare Doge, will give back Litecoin to 5 x the Doge value in LTC.  I transfered my last 100k Doge to HitBTC to sell today but because of current network fees I paid 14 Doge to make the payment, so only 99986 Doge arrived @ my HitBTC account. Then I discover HitBTC will only trade Doge for BTC in units of 1000 Doge!!! So I traded 99000 , and now have 986 Doge stuck in my HitBTC trading account.   

If someone could PM me to give me a 14 Doge tip + fees (should be under 20 DOGE) , I will pay them back with $1 of LTC as a Thankyou.  If you do PM me give me your LTC address you want $1 LTC sent to and I will give you my HitBTC Doge wallet address to send the 14 Doge.


Thanks in advance from a 2013/14 ex-Dogeminer (now ZEC miner) cashing out!

It took me a while to figure this out last night.

Download bluestacks emulator for android apps on Windows.

Download bither + bitpie.

Sweep all your bitcoin into another trezor or similar wallet before this step:

1) import your (now empty) seed into bither unnder hdm account recovery https://imgur.com/a/YH1Cq
it then syncs and shows you balance of BCD and SBTC and also BTW (wtf is that?)
2) Simply click get BCD (it then asks you for a bitpie bcd address, I tried sending direct to an exchange but it didn't work
3) send to bitpie, then exchange

cash out.

Same can be done for SBTC.

I cashed mine out last night and made an extra few bitcoins, pretty easily. I came across a dozen scam websites/fake wallets asking for mnemonics and so on before this so figured people could do with an easy solution.

Hope this helps

Thanks

8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / 4000 Ripple XRP stuck on HitBTC for a week now. Advice please. on: January 05, 2018, 12:33:55 PM
So I made a good move a week ago and sold 20 LTC and bought 4000 XRP for and equivalent of $1.20 each. Great trebled my money. But ever since 29/12/17 if have being trying to withdraw my XRP to my Ledger Nano S wallet and every time I try, 4-5 times a day, I hit the withdraw button on the "Account" (not trading acc, holding acc) and get this same message "Please note that XRP withdrawals are temporarily unavailable due to technical maintenance. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience".

I'm getting worried now even though HitBTC is a top 10 exchange, that they might go "poof".  Now Hit BTC has only 3 direct trading pairs for XRP , BTC, ETH and USDT.

It seems from their Forums they are having issues moving BTC, ETH, XRP and many other coins.   I  checked the withdraw buttons of BTC, ETH they too post up "issue messages".  The only trading pair with no withdrawal issues is  Tether (USDT). I don't want to sell XRP I want to hold this 4000 in my Digital Assets portfolio. So what to do?

1) Sit and wait for the HitBTC Technical issue with XRP to be resolved? (I am guessing this might be manually activated by HitBTC on my account as I have 4000 XRP they don't want to leave the exchange for liquidity reasons, but they will allow me to transfer it to my trading account (funny that!)
2) Sell XRP for BTC , the Sell BTC for LTC, then move LTC off the exchange and Buy XRP elsewhere?
3) Sell XRP for Tether and move Tether off the exchange, send the Tether to another working XRP/USDT exchange and buy back my XRP and then withdraw off that wallet?

Am I being over panicky struggling to withdraw $10-$11k of XRP of HitBTC ? Anyone else with this experience of XRP issues on HitBTC and how long it takes to sort?

Also if I do sell XRP and withdraw (USDT or LTC) and good reccomendations of exchanges with low fees, tight spreads for USDT/XRP (ideally) or BTC/XRP (via LTC/BTC)

Cheers

BTW, paper gainz of Crypto HODL since 2014 made $100k increase in 2017!! Nice.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Back interesting in mining Alt's since 2014. What to mine in 2017? on: August 22, 2017, 10:33:38 AM
Not much has changed really from 2014 besides...

Back then the 7970/280X was the king mining GPU, now its the RX 470/480
Back then everybody used ribbon risers... now everybody uses USB risers
Back then everybody mined LTC and DOGE... now everybody mines ETH and ZEC
Back then the 280X consumed 300 Watts mining LTC... now the RX 470 consumes 125 Watts mining ETH
Back then NVIDIA was useless in mining... now not so much
Back then Bitcoin was in a bear market... now its in a bull market
Back then everybody used PIMP or BAMT ... now its either EthOS or Windows 7/10.



Back then my crypto mining stash (see above) was worth a few hundred quid more than the £2k net cost to mine it....... now it's worth enough to by a brand new hot hatch or nice family sized car!!

Hopefully in another three years we will talking enough to by a house oppp north or a small boat!!

Thanks Guys.

As I'm not a newbie I did some googling and by 9pm had my home PC setup and mining ETH by 9pm as a test. Couldn't get Genoils miner or QTminer to work under Windows 10 64, they started but kept crashing at the last stage. Finally tried Claymores Miner and that worked fine and stable and has been running constantly since 10pm last night UK time on Ethermine.org pool on the French server.

Standard nothing tweeked, my MSI GTX1070 is pulling 24-25mh. Will see my 24hr average on Ethermine tonight. The whole PC pulls about 250 watts with the GTX1070 mining @ 100% but amazingly the fans don't go above 68% and temp seems stable @ 67 deg c.

Will have a play over the next few weeks with overclocking and  / or undervolting to increase the hashrate. Again just reading a little on google it seems undervolting to save leccy use, and maxing out the GFX memory speed at standard core clockspeed is the game to play for ETH mining for best results on GTX1070 hashrate?

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Back interesting in mining Alt's since 2014. What to mine in 2017? on: August 20, 2017, 04:46:08 PM
So had to create a new login on here as I couldn't retrieve my old one from 2013, when I went under markyminer.  I mined BTC,LTC and Doge over 2013-2014, then packed it in when the price of my UK leccy exceded the crypto £££ I was mining and I just parked my wallets and got on with my life, sold my GPU's on ebay, boxed up my Butterfly Labs ASIC.

So got back interested in it in 2017, and totted up my holdings, today I traded 50% of my LTC for ETH to diversify, and sitting on over £23.5k worth from a net £2k investment in mining rigs ands ASIC in 2013. My personal holdings since the BTC fork on 1/8/17 are :

5.3 BTC
5.3 BCH
8.5 ETH
54.5 LTC
100k Doge.

Very happy with it all but got curious. Could I mine again small time for profit? Happy to mine if the altcoin earned costs more than my UK home leccy @ $0.15/kwh . I have 21gh SH256 ASIC (3 x BFL Jally's @ 7gh each) , and a Nvidia MSI Armor GTX 1070.  Is it still AMD GPU , current GTX480 / 580 dominating mining still or have Nvidia caught up?

Happy for any tips, especially the BTC asics as they are easy and low power use. Look at BCH mining with them but returns were 10x less than the cost of leccy so would be better just to buy more BTC directly. Had heard a rumour that ETH mining with GTX1070 was ok? Is this true?

Thanks in advance from an oldtimer, a nice LTC tip for anyone who gets me mining for profit again. Also did Litecoin scrypt ASIC ever make it to market same quality as BTC ones?
