1  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 26, 2021, 05:47:37 PM
Bitcoin spent trolling bulls 3 years by constantly creating fakeouts. Im not convinced the bull phase is over until ATH. It could trick people into buying again the 200 MA breakout only to crash again. The fundamentals aren't also fantastic to say the least. We have the China ban which I think is underrated (this time it's not the same as previous bans, this is total prosecution of any crypto activity) and we have the Evergrande situation. I just don't see it. We'll see what the FED does with the rates. If the SP500 fails to break to the upside that's even more bearish pressure because like it or not, BTC continues to be quite correlated with the market.
2  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinbase wallet, missing 3 recovery word on: September 26, 2021, 05:36:08 PM
There are 2048 possibilities for each word.
The first word can go into one of any 12 position in your wallet seed, therefore 2048*12. The next in any of 11, and the last one is 10.

so you will have total of 2048 * 12 * 2048 * 11 * 2048 * 10, or 2048^3 * 10 * 11* 12 which eq= 1.1338714e+13


a normal computer, with 500,000 attempts per second need less than 10 Years. (worse case)

Thus, a normal computer may need a few years, but adding more physical devices may reduce that time for several months, and perhaps days. The matter depends on the economics of cost, which is calculating costs for the physical devices and the money that exists in that seed.

If you know any letter, a place for the word, the shape of the word or part of it, you will reduce the time, perhaps a few days on a regular computer, so try to remember anything because it will reduce the time a lot.

The top of the line RTX graphic cards are amazing for bruteforcing. If OP had any relevant amount of money in there, I would buy a RTX 3090 and run whatever software allows the latest RTX cards.

3  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Allowing Inbound Connections on: September 26, 2021, 04:54:15 PM
please note that in Bitcoin, connections with peers, either inbound or outbound, are full duplex, i.e. it is not strictly needed to have inbound connections for participating in the network though it yields a much better topology, having more nodes advertised as being ready for incoming connection requests.

A lot of people disable on the GUI the option of "allow incoming connections" because they are paranoid that this means people are able to connect to your node, gaining personal information, perhaps even performing RPC. I have seen this numerous times:

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/98555/what-exactly-does-the-scary-option-allow-incoming-connections-do-in-bitcoin-co

I think it should be clearly explained what it does otherwise we lose potential connectivity from all these people being scared to keep that option checked.
4  Other / Off-topic / Never-ending crypto scam insanity on Youtube on: September 26, 2021, 03:54:12 PM
I have been watching this phenomena happen for almost 2 years now. What they do is that they hack someone's channel with a decent amount of subscribers, ideally channels with a verified badge to make it more legit. Then they change the name, the avatar, and delete all previous videos, then they start running a loop of videos of interviews, usually assorted scammers such as Vitalik Butterin, Charles whatever (the guy from Cardano), the guy from LINK... all these shitcoins. They also use notorious Bitcoin bulls like the guy from Microstrategy. They run live streams with addresses where you send money and double your money, a giveaway, or the classic scam routine. These guys are making a ton of money given the amount of views and channels they manage to hack. They even use Elon Musk:






Has Youtube given up on trying to fix this madness? I know that Youtube is going to force 2fa on all creators starting November so that's the only hope to see these scams go down in numbers, but im afraid 2fa will not be enough.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin.org hacked. on: September 26, 2021, 03:48:49 PM
Everyone should SHA-256 checkcums and PGP signatures against anything they have downloaded since the hack happened, otherwise you may have installed compromised wallets which generate addresses that belong to the attacker. Anything is possible if you are able to successfully make a man-in-the-middle attack giving you access to the servers to upload any malware you want.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 【I am in China】About China 2021/09/24 FUD on: September 26, 2021, 03:46:03 PM
I remember the PBOC FUD from back in the day. While these were non-events other than short temp crashes, this one has a bigger impact since it smokes the entire Chinese trading scene, unless you want to risk getting the chinese KGB knocking on your door trying to circumvent it. So im assuming anyone with enough resouces is going to flee borders into somewhere where they are free to trade. Otherwise forget about it. This may be what makes the price crash below the 200MA and you have to add in the Evergrande clusterfuck which will have global contagion. A good time to buy a massive dip at any rate.
7  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What happens when you unlock the wallet? on: September 26, 2021, 03:36:22 PM
This has everything you need to know about wallet encryption: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/6b8a5ab622e5c9386c872036646bf94da983b190/doc/README

Unfortunately it doesn't answer about what GUI do when you unlock the wallet.

I use the walletpassphrase to see if I still can remember my password and I don't want to transact, so im curious about what goes on when the GUI unlocks it when making a transaction.
If you need to do that, you can set a timeout of '1' second so your passphrase wont stay in your RAM for too long.

You also could use command walletlock if you accidentally use default unlock duration and being extremely careful.

It should be somewhere on the code. Im trying to find things related to transactions on the qt folder source where it it's related to the passphrase being used:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/askpassphrasedialog.h
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/askpassphrasedialog.cpp

I think this only relates to the actual window but not what happens with the passphrase. There's also this:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/interfaces/wallet.h

Code:
    //! Encrypt wallet.
    virtual bool encryptWallet(const SecureString& wallet_passphrase) = 0;

    //! Return whether wallet is encrypted.
    virtual bool isCrypted() = 0;

    //! Lock wallet.
    virtual bool lock() = 0;

    //! Unlock wallet.
    virtual bool unlock(const SecureString& wallet_passphrase) = 0;

    //! Return whether wallet is locked.
    virtual bool isLocked() = 0;

    //! Change wallet passphrase.
    virtual bool changeWalletPassphrase(const SecureString& old_wallet_passphrase,
        const SecureString& new_wallet_passphrase) = 0;

I can't find what the "default timeout" would be.

Specifically, what goes on when you get prompted by the GUI to enter your password in order to make a transaction?

Does the code run the default walletpassphrase <your password> <timeout (seconds)> command line with the default 60 seconds or something else happens?

I use the walletpassphrase to see if I still can remember my password and I don't want to transact, so im curious about what goes on when the GUI unlocks it when making a transaction.

lol, are you retarded? you take that neg seriously?

Please don't try to be rude.

I'm very fair with all of you and I respect others. You should do the same.



Best regards.


how are you very fair? you are rejecting an hero member because a known troll left untrusted neg, that is why people is calling you out, because people is pissed off at trolls like him, and you are helping him get away with it by doing that, then you say something about posting quality when his posting quality is the same as a lot of people already accepted.

The only way to make a killing with mining these days is living somewhere where the electricity is cheap as hell or you are in some sort of privileged position.

danielpbarron is an autistic troll that sends untrusted neg trust randomly, I cant believe he hasn't been banned yet.
13  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Time to raise rates again on: November 11, 2015, 10:20:51 PM
Campaign rates go down quickly and up slowly. Participants have to accept that. I do not like the idea of pegging rates to usd because this undermines bitcoin as a separate "currency".

This is bullshit. With this attitude you will always be someone's else bitch. What you do is push them to raise rates, and they will forced to do it or else they will not get any advertisement. With your attitude the guys in Coinut would have never gotten paid in the former rate (the manager tried to change the rate in the middle of the term) people started complaining and they pushed them to pay at the original rate.

With this is the same, you push, if they don't raise, you leave the campaign. The current cut is totally unreasonable. At this rate they will pay less and less everytime there is a crash.
14  Economy / Service Discussion / Time to raise rates again on: November 11, 2015, 03:26:21 AM
300.. with the current rates of 0.0007 for Sr Member and 0.0008 for Hero it makes no sense, we almost back to the hold price.. They were quick to cut, lets see how much time the take to raise.
15  Economy / Services / Re: [OPEN] COINUT.COM ★ Signature Campaign ★ Pay per post ★ Weekly ★ on: November 11, 2015, 03:23:02 AM
Time to raise rates again. We are going back to -300, the rates in here were put with the 500 peak in mind... 0.0007 for Sr doesn't make sense anymore.
16  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Campaings already cutting rates on: November 04, 2015, 03:43:23 PM
thats just business, minimize your advertising costs wherever possible.besides, a sig campaign, sure, its an incentive to post more actively, but its not something to really see as a job or constant, reliable source of income. theyre here to give people a little something extra while posting on the forum.


Wherever possible = wherever you cucks will do nothing about it. Look at what happened in the Coinut thread when these fuckers tried to get away with not paying them at the original rate but at lot of people told them to pay them at the accorded rate or their shit would get wrecked with negative trust:

OK, you guys will still be paid with the old rate for the posts done in the past before I announced the new rate.

This is how it's done, none of this "oh it's just business" bullshit. If whoever pays you starts fucking around you fix it with popular pressure until they pay what they accorded, and as you can see it works.
17  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Campaings already cutting rates on: November 04, 2015, 03:33:49 PM
posters' rights? me no see nothing about that nowhere.

Rights don't exist, you have to create them by not being a submissive cuck to the guy that pays you.
18  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Campaings already cutting rates on: November 04, 2015, 03:30:56 PM
Rights: The right to be paid at the rate that the guy said, changing a rate in the middle of an ongoing term is a fraud.
But I guess you fucking cucks like to be buttfucked.
19  Economy / Service Discussion / Campaings already cutting rates on: November 04, 2015, 03:21:36 PM
Sad, sad to see. Some even attempted to get away with cutting rates during an ongoing term (Coinut). Pathetic behavior. That's just a direct fraud. When the price goes up, your Bitcoins go up as well, so you can pay people what you said you would paid. No excuses.

Also notice that when the price was lower, they took a ton of days before (sightly) raising the rates. Hell, I saw raises of like 0.0012 to 0.0014 when the price was crashing from 400 to 200, now Coinut and others have gone from 0.0015 to 0.0008.

Don't let these fuckers fuck around with your time and money. Fight for your rights, posters.
20  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Its time for the campaign runners to raise your pathetic rates on: November 04, 2015, 03:17:05 PM
Look how quick campaigns now are lowering rates, but back in the day they wouldn't have the decency to raise the rates higher when the rate was really low.

Don't be the nice-guy-im-ok-with-it and fight for your rights, posters.
