Hi,

I can't find where in the bitcoin core code is the public key -> address conversion code.
My C++ being very rusty it might be just in front of me.

If any of you know, I'm all ears

Thanks.

PS : I know how it is done, but I'd like to see the actual cpp code

I know Icash.
I heard of neutron but I can't find how much coins you need

Thanks.

Hi,

LightDoge is very fast but not supported by a lot of exchange.
Bitcoin is awfull, usually takes 1h to 1h30 for my money to be transferred.
What other crypto out there is fast?

Hi,

I see more and more coins which are "built on the waves platform".
Why? What is this?

I know that there is a wave coin but I don't understand, you don't get coin "built on the bitcoin platform".

Thanks.

Hi,

TLDR : help me with the finance aspect (how do detect buy and sell opportunity) and I'll share the bot with you

I'm a java JEE/python engineer, I recently tried to make a trading bot, without success.
I can code allright, but I know nothing about finance, trading indicators, etc.

My idea was to detect a fall and sell when it happened and then detect a rise and buy at its start.

I took the burst coin data from poloniex and quickly smoothed the price chart and detected rise and fall by doing an average of the 5 last value.



And I thought, "DAMN I GOT IT, SO EASY, MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!"

but then I went in real time, and oups, the smoothing algorythym uses future value, so the end of the curve, the present, is false and always changing.
video of what I said :

So here I am.
Is my strategy even worth it (selling during fall, re-buyin when it rises)?
Do you know a better strategy?
Some financial indicator could be helpfull? (MACD and such)

Thanks.

Hi,

I know that you can get a loosing strike and hit your bankroll limit, but somehow I feel safe playing martingale.
I made this script 10 minutes ago, since in dice you don't always need to double after a loss, it depends of
what the payout is.

Code:

def martingale(current_bet, payout):
    lost = 0
    x = 1
    while True:
        lost = lost + current_bet
        print "draw %s" %(x)
        print "lost %s" %lost
        while(current_bet*payout<=lost):
            current_bet = current_bet+1
        print "next bet : %s in order to win %s for a profit of %s" %(current_bet, current_bet*payout, current_bet*payout-lost)
        x = x + 1
        user_choice = raw_input("continue (c) / reset (r) : ")
        print "\n"
        if user_choice == "r":
            return

while True:
    print "================================================================"
    print "==================- dice martingale calculator -================"
    print "================================================================"
    current_bet = raw_input("initial_bet : ")
    payout = raw_input("payout : ")
    martingale(int(current_bet), int(payout))
    print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"
    print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"

Do what you want with it.

How to use (for windows, if you use linux you'r probably a techie anyway) :
-install python 2.7 : https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2710/
-create a new environment variable called PYTHON_HOME pointing to C:\Python27 (or wherever you installed it)
-add this to the PATH environment variable ;%PYTHON_HOME%;%PYTHON_HOME%\Scripts
-create a script.py and open it with notepad, paste the script inside
-shift plus right clic in the folder where the script is and select open a cmd windows here
-type : nameOfScript.py and press enter

Explanation :
1/ you installed python in order to run the script
2/ creating this environment variable allow you to just type the name of the script in the command line instead of "C:\Python27\python.exe nameOfTheScript.py"

the script begin and it should be user friendly enought

Hi,

I was always told that regular casino games are rigged so that the casino never loses money.
If the bitcoin casinos are using real random number generation then it is possible for them to
actually go bankrupt no?

Thanks.

Hello,

Bien entendu il me serait illégal de réaliser ça en France.
J'ai la nationalité française et je vis en france.

Si j’héberge mon site sur un serveur dans un autre pays que je contrôlerais de la France, que j'achette un .XXX qui n'est pas
sous contrôle de la france ou des americain et que je bloque l'acces au site par ip au Français.

Est-ce que je risque quelque chose?

Dois-je monter une entreprise meme si je ne compte pas du tout reconvertir les bitcoin en FIAT?

Merci.

Hi,
this troubles me,

from what I understood :
Miners validate transactions betwenn bitcoin users and are rewarded bitcoins which are generated by the bitcoin network.

Then how could the first bitcoin be generated since there was no bitcoin to do any transaction?

Thanks.

Hi,

I see a lot of altcoin poping up every day.
But how are the first coin generated?

From what I understood mining is validating transaction,
but since at the beginning there is no coins, then there is no transaction to validate.

Thanks.
