Hello all,

I was wondering if there would be interest from the community to crowd funding an apartment that can potentially generate rental income?

I live in a neighborhood in New York that hosts several professionals in the age group of 25-40. There are high rise buildings here with plenty of apartments. The apartments barely stay vacant and I myself have sub-let my apartment several times over last few years.

I have a vague idea wherein I can crowdsource an apartment purchase in the neighborhood and then manage it for rentals. Since there would be no mortgage involved, the monthly costs would be minimal(building management fee). Any rent generated can be redistributed, while the ownership still remains with us.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I am offering my services for those interested in shopping on Amazon US in exchange for BTC. I am happy to use an Escrow.

My fee: 5% of the product cost.

I have a prime account from Amazon and thus can help people with 2-day deliveries to entire US.

Any questions, post here.

Hi,

I am working on a project to develop an auto-execution system that can execute trades on multiple exchanges. I understand APIs from exchanges can be used for data fetches - but am looking for guidance on coding something to execute trades.

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,

I have a total of $400 worth of Target Gift Cards. They are 4 unscratched cards of $100 each. I am willing to sell them as it is or convert them to e-cards for smaller amounts. Minimum $25.

I will be willing to accept a reputed Escrow from the forum. Split the escrow fee.

I am willing to give upto 10% discount on these cards. So you pay $90 worth BTC for a $100 card if you buy all $400. Minimum discount is 5%. Here is my concession list:

Gift card Face Value       BTC Worth
$25                              $23.75 
$50                              $47.5
$100                            $95
$200                            $185
$400                            $360


Post for details!

Hi,

I am looking for someone to help me with converting Bitcoins to INR cash on regular basis. We are a business based in US, with some outsourcing work done in India.

I need a reliable associate who will convert Bitcoins to INR cash on regular basis. Ready to pay a premium over the market price for such exchange.

You will be responsible delivering cash and getting bitcoins instantly at our office in Delhi/NCR.

PM me if you are interested in this.

Cheers!

I am trying to find the answer to this:

How can I find the private and public keys associated with the addresses on my Bitcoin Core Wallet?

Localbitcoins provide a valuable support to the industry by matching buyers and sellers. However, there are plenty of cases of user frauds and mistrust. They don't monetize anything under 1 BTC in transaction. Neither do they have any KYC/user authentication methods.

Would you trade with them more often if they allow smaller transactions as escrow and have KYC in place to make users accountable for their trades?

I wonder if this is a gap in the current market? Or if there is a logical strong reason for them not to do this?

Why don't they move to next level? Is there a next level at all?

Is there a place to get timeseries data on Bitcoin,Litecoin, Dogecoin and other popular coins?

Hi,

I am a technical noob trying to understand the tech aspects of Bitcoin(wallets, transactions, security etc).

My questions are in RED below and it would be reallyhelpful if someone can direct me to relevant resoruces to learn more.

I learnt the technical mechanics behind generating a hot wallet recently from my readings.

The next step is to understand how does the ownership of bitcoins is transferred. I read up the white paper and came up with this:

Suppose A wants to send Bitcoins to B. pubA,pubB be the public keys of A and B. privA,privB be the private keys of A and B.
Bitcoin is the transaction that was received by A. Let it be m.
G is the base point

privA is a random number in [1,n-1] and pubA =privA X G , X is ECC multiplication

A does the following:

Signs the bitcoin transaction as follows

1. Calculate e=SHA256(m)
2. Let Z be the Ln leftmost bits of e, where Ln is the bit length of group order n.
Now I understand n as defined in the specifications and is a very large number, then are we picking the leftmost n bits of e here?
 I am kinda confused here...Any help  
3.Select a random integer k from [1,n-1]
4. Calculate (x1,y1)=k X G  
5. Calculate r1=x1 mod(n). If r1=0 go to step 3.
6. Calculate s1=k^(-1) * (z+r1(privA)) mod(n) . If s1=0 go to step 3.
7. The signature is pair (r1,s1)

A also signs the pubB using the same method above to produce (r2,s2).

A then transmits m appended with r1,s1,r2,s2 to the network. Let this transaction be represented as M1.

How are the signatures appended to the original transactions? Are these just bitwise appends? I am not sure at all

Now once B receives this message from the network, it should be able to use privB to verify the incoming transaction.


B does the following:

1. Verify r1,s1,r2,s2 are valid integers in [1,n-1].
2. Calculate e=SHA256(m)
3. Let Z be the Ln leftmost bits of e, where Ln is the bit length of group order n.
4. Calculate w1=s1^(-1)  mod n
5. Calculate u11=zw1 mod n and u12=r1w1 mod n.
6. Calculate curve point (x1,y1)= u11 X G + u12 X pubA
7. Signature is valid if r1=x1 mod(n)

Repeat steps 4-7 for r2,s2.

If both signatures match, then M1 is the new transaction and new bitcoin.


This is my understanding so far. Please help me understand this better by pointing mistakes.

Thanks a ton.

I know there is a bitcoin conference taking place in NY in the coming week. I plan to attend and was wondering if anyone else around would like to catch up too.

Moderators: Not sure if the thread is  under correct category. If it isn't, please move.

Cheers!

PM me if you are on east coast in USA and we may be able to exchange this offline.

I reserve the right to cancel the auction either due to an offline deal or not finding a suitable price of Bitcoin volatility.
