How would network transition from sha256 and remain its stability in the process? And very likely we would not be able to develop strong replacement without tools that would first allow us to break that very same sha256 (likely quantum tools ahah). Price stability right now is very heavy dependent on lost coins - but this would change dramatically during off-sha256 transition, or I am missing something?

I got a few USDC when it was introduced on the platform, just to see how that token thing gonna work. Recently I noticed that APY reward kinda off on the last tx so contacted coinbase:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Coinbase Support.

The APY rate is set by Coinbase and can change at anytime and you will be notified. Unless otherwise stated, any updates made will not be effective until the first day of the calendar month.

coinbase website making it even more confusing since july and aug rewards' % is off:

As of June 3rd, 2020, the APY for USDC Rewards is 0.15%.

Following the closing ceremony of this years' DC28, the first Defcoin p2pool has been deployed 🥳

Could anyone explain this statement I got?) I asked the mod to expand or better ban me permanently cause i will not stop asking - no explanation ever followed  



the kicker was a speculation that one could bruteforce lets say some legacy blocks with lbc concept and make some mess on it https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/hoez11/why_is_bitcoin_still_more_popular_and_more/fxhe805?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

idk where to put this, just found this CEX and it looks like a bitconnect brochure )) 🚨  https://knolix.com/ big flashback with altcoinmarket or what was the name ahah, sad

Looks like we are going to $9k next week

Some time ago this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=860708 started talking shit to me on twitter when somebody pointed him to the project i was working on - I glanced on his work and replied with some critics as well. For some time it was fun watching him dodging questions and replying in ad pushing style and shit https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5196899.msg53219317#msg53219317 but then he started posting negatives on my profile. I am using the forum for a quet some time, but can not say that im as same jedi as other members, but really curious how to deal with such situation) don't want to create more unnecessary flags/threads/etc

its my first post on this board, please correct me if anyth  

can't wait ahaha https://blog.coinmarketcap.com/2019/08/30/updated-ranking-methodology-new-liquidity-metric-soon/

Regarding recent 66k BTC tx - https://www.securityweek.com/authorities-take-down-cryptocurrency-mixing-service-bestmixerio coincidence?

[What happened::]

What happened::
Somebody mentioned their inactive github but very active CEX listings. website confirms https://sierracoin.net
Scammers Profile Link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2446298
Reference Link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5055663
Additional Notes:

their code base would not pass the audit with errors like https://github.com/sierracoin-foundation/sierra/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L149 (1977 is xumacoin) so this is clearly unqualified team working for PnD?

dev team clearly not capable to keep the core updated and compile-able so there is no binary distribution - this a common scam releases page https://github.com/sierracoin-foundation/sierra/releases

i am working on this vagrant box for deterministic builds https://github.com/AXErunners/axe-gitian and in need of a few testers to tweak resource distribution and packaging. DM for bounty details

На данный момент Lightning сеть еще совсем свежая, но уже чувствуется через пару месяцев апп стор взорвется клиентами, reckless уже не такой уж reckless как месяц назад (объем каналом подтверждает). RaspiBlitz - простой способ поднять независимый full node с lightning надстройкой (LND клиент). Разберем по шагам:

Весь хардвар (на помнет написания) доступен через Яндекс.маркет.

Скачиваем образ http://wiki.fulmo.org/downloads/raspiblitz-2018-08-09.img.gz
Жжем образ на карту https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/README.md
Собираем Pi и подклбчаем к рабочей системе по средствам lan кабеля (расшариваем интернет подключение в macOS https://mycyberuniverse.com/mac-os/connect-to-raspberry-pi-from-a-mac-using-ethernet.html).

По успешному завершению загрузки мы увидим:


подключаемся к ноду через ssh: ssh admin@ТВОЙАЙПИ. при первом подключении пароль raspiblitz

далее выбираем сеть



Задаем имя/alias нода (на уровне системы - alias=hostname):



Далее задаем пароли для ssh доступа и rpc пароль:



На этом этапе нод загрузит текущие обновления:



После успешный апдейтов появится меню загрузки для текущей цепи. Выбираем Torrent



После загрузки выбранной цепи нод продолжит установку Lightning модуля:



Далее команда lncli create заканчивает процесс:



Оставляем нод сканировать контент:



Уходим в ребут



После каждой загрузки кошелек должен быть разблокирован:



Как только кошелек разблокирован - готово! Появится главное меню посредством которого можно отправить койны для спонсирования и открытия каналов, подключиться к другим нодам, etc

Если хочется сбросить провода и подключаться через вайфай - sudo raspi-config

WIP

If you want to start with lightning network - there's a great solution from rootzoll https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz. currently testing new setup and will post updates in a few.

i noticed that its getting easier and easier for scammers to push their product by deleting posts with sensitive information. i suggest to take this power away from scammers. (also https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3241214.msg33880217#msg33880217)

just finished reading fresh writeup from https://www.coindesk.com/owe-irs-crypto-crypto-trades/?utm_content=buffer7d164&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

somewhere in the middle i caught myself on complete dead end, trying to understand current classifications. but it feels like basic approach for the btc classification is failing at its foundation. cryptocurrency from the look of the backend code - is not what common user thinks. first you generate electricity. then you convert it into hash power. then you using hash power to move blocks on the chain, being rewarded for resources you spent for the task. just like petroleum (from the perspective of human species, its unlikely we will give this planet a chance to generate some of it again - so this is very close to btc supply limit) - coins are fossil fuel for the blockchain. am i getting it right?

would like to share this article regarding PnD groups. a lot of users still thinking that somebody really giving away valuable signals for free "to support the community". there is some decent business in the market, but this kind of approach is just a textbook scam. stay safe!

in some countries you need to register with the gov to be able to mine legally. but in ny state you also need to pay extra just because "you not contributing to the community". ok, besides that i just might don't like people - any kind of mining is a huuge contribution to the community (on the scale mentioned in the article). thats exactly why mining is profitable. so how its this really happening?

[Mastering Bitcoin]

не увидел упоминания ни в одном факе для новичков, очень странно

если ты только включился, то после запуска первого майнера стоит придержать лошадей и ознакомиться с минимальной информацией. а уже после построения примерного понятия о том как работает блокчейн и освоения гитхаба - можно приступать к инвестициям.

на мой взгляд - нет ничего лучше чем Mastering Bitcoin что бы с нейтральным взглядом и без пристрастий погрузиться в эту вечеринку. самый правильный подход будет https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook погуглив можно найти другие источники если гитхаб дается не с первого раза

так же обрати внимание на версию, свежее второе издание датируется в печати за июль 2017

незаконченный перевод https://bitcoinbook.info/wp-content/translations/ru/book.pdf

кто еще какие издания посоветует?
