Hi,

I want to run my own dedicated ElectrumX server for everyone, but can't find a decent howto that is recent.

Anyone here that can help me?

Vraagje mensen,

Ik zoek het volgende: een debitkaart die op pinautomaten/in de winkel werkt, en die ik kan aanvullen met BTC. Er zijn een aantal oplossingen hiervoor zoals Revolut, maar dat is niet wat ik zoek. Ik wil letterlijk van mijn BTC wallet een transactie maken naar mijn wallet bij dit bedrijf om mijn debit kaart aan te vullen. Ik wil dus niet afhankelijk zijn van mijn bank.

Enige opties of ben ik op zoek naar een unicorn?

Hi,

As the topic states:

1. I have a Raspberry 3+
2. I downloaded the binaries from bitcoincore.org
3. I have a simple bitcoin.conf which only states it should run as a daemon.
4. Everything fully updated.

And this happens:

Anyone any clue?

Hier komen mijn voorspellingen  

• Beartrend van de afgelopen maanden slaat om in een bulltrend, ik denk al in Januari
• Halving blijkt een non-event (maar heeft wel effect)
• Lightning ontwikkeling gaat in sneltrein door, o.a. enorme verbeteringen aan channel routing
• nu.nl reaguurders vinden bitcoin nog steeds fraude, oplichting, een piramidespel en zijn nog altijd zeer zeker van zichzelf
• RTLZ commentators vinden bitcoin nog steeds onzin en gebakken lucht waar niemand op zit te wachten, maar behandelen het onderwerp wel voorzichtjes
• Strengere KYCAML regels in het westen
• Geen Altseason, shitcoins decimeren verder en verder tegen Bitcoin
• Uw familie gaat niet in bitcoin stappen, die vinden het maar gevaarlijk
• Uw vrienden gaan niet in bitcoin stappen, die vinden het oplichting, een piramidespel en gebakken lucht
• Ikzelf blijf bijkopen
• Er komt vanuit de community meer aandacht voor multisig, en minder aandacht voor hardware wallets
• We blijven een kleine selecte groep die niemand begrijpt
• Mainstream media blijft negatief over Bitcoin
• Effect van futuremarkten VS (bakkt/CME) blijkt niet van grote invloed op de spotmarkten

Zomaar wat puntjes

Nu jullie!

Ik weet het, geen bitcoin onderwerp maar naar mijn mening heeft goud toch een paar raakvlakken met Bitcoin. Bitcoin heb ik, goud niet.

De reden van mijn vraag: het mooie van Bitcoin is dat wat je koopt / opgestuurd krijgt gevalideerd word door je node, je kan achterover leunen want de validatie gebeurd door cryptografie uitgevoerd door nodes, bij goud is dat een hele andere zaak.

Zijn er hier mensen die goud bezitten, en zo ja, waar kopen jullie dat? Wat zijn jullie ervaringen?

Alvast bedankt!

Hi,

- I created a 2 of 3 multisig wallet
- installed two wallets on different machines
- Sent some satoshi to the multisig wallet
- Sathi appears on both wallets
- On both wallets enabled "Cosigner Pool" plugin
- Restarted both wallets

I try to send 5$ from my wallet to a test wallet. When I press send and enter my password, I see the 'Send to Cosigner' plugin.

I press this button, but nothing happens on wallet 2. I restart wallet 2 but still nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? Whelp!

Hi,

Situation: I have a 2of3 multisig setup using Electrum, I printed every seed on a piece of paper and put every paper in a different location. I remove all Electrum installations/wallets so all I have left is 3 papers with each of them one seed.

What happens: Location 3 burns down, only two seeds left in different locations. I now want to move my BTC to a new wallet.


To recover, I need to move my BTC using two signatures, so the idea is to set up two wallets 1 and 2 which information I still have, and move my BTC to a new wallet.

Wallet 1:
- I start Electrum
- I enter my 1st seed which I have, continue...
- I enter the 2nd cosigner xpub key which I have, continue....
- It asks my for the 3rd cosigner key.... the one that went up in flames.......

And here i'm stuck.........

This is not a real situation i'm having here, just drawing one because I'm interrested in using multisig, but want to know 100% sure i'm able to recover in case of emergency.

Can anyone here tell me what to do in this situation?


 

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a way to be more secure, but i'm unsure if this plan is working, I need more technical advice.

What i've done: I've set up a 2-3 multisig wallet using Electrum on my computer and sent some satoshi to it. I've sent some satoshi from that multisig wallet by creating a signed transaction with wallet 1, and signed that transaction with wallet 2 and the transaction was approved, all satoshi's moved to a different wallet successfully.

I'm thinking about the following plan:


The idea: In case one site burns down, I always have the information of all three keys spread over two sites and I will always be able to access my BTC.


Here's what confuses me and why I need technical help

1) When looking at the picture above, you see every site contains the seed and xpub of 2 wallets. Imagine burglary at site 1 and the thief steals the information (seed + xpub) of key's 1 and 3. Will he be able to access/send tx with that information?
Reason I'm asking: Electrum asks me to provide the information of all 3 wallets.

2) I could successfully send tx using 3 Electrum Windows clients. I wasn't able to spend satoshi's using 1 wallet, HOWEVER: when I moved one of the seeds to the Android Electrum wallet, I was able to spend everything without any other signature at all! TX already got confirmed 8 times! How is this possible?

Ha luitjes,

In de kringen om mij heen boeit het weinig mensen, ik denk dat ik hier meer mensen kan vinden die hier wel eens over nadenken, gezien het hier bomvol met Bitcoiners zit.

Ik sommeer even wat mijn ogen de afgelopen jaar hebben gezien:

- Stockmarkets een flinke beuk gekregen
- Rente overal erg laag, lager kan bijna niet.
- Verwaarlozing van FIAT (QE)
- Zeer lage dekkingsgraad banken.
- Een derivatenmarkt van 1.2 biljoen USD
- Rechtse politieke wind (Trump, Le Pen, 5 Sterren beweging, AFD)
- Brexit
- Handelsoorlog
- Een torenhoge en niet aflosbare schuld sinds loslaten goudstandaard
- De FED die de rente niet verder durft te verhogen omdat de stockmarkets dan direct onderuit gaan
- De ECB die de rente wel wil verhogen maar niet kan verhogen omdat Italie dan default
- Gele vestjes in Frankrijk (die inmiddels al oproepen tot een bankrun)
- De dollar die langzaam wegzakt als reserve currency
- De westerese samenhorigheid die afbrokkelt (brexit, VS en EU tegen over elkaar) en de opkomende economische macht van China
- Robotisering van de samenleving, meer mensen werkeloos.

Ben ik de enige die zich wel eens afvraagt hoe de babyboom generatie afscheid van ons gaat nemen? Hoe zien jullie de aankomende, pak beet 5 jaar?

Hi people,

Hoping to see a healthy discussion here about this. Caitlin Long mentioned a two edged sword a few days ago: NYSE:ICE derivatives where investors buy 'paper bitcoins'. NYSE:ICE buys 100.000 and holds BTC (which directly influences the price up), but then sells this to their customers and leverage everything. Example: they let 100 of their customers buy 50.000 BTC from them, not onchain and in a true bitcoin wallet but on their BAKKT app.

What limits are on leveraging? What are your thoughts on this? How will it affect the price? Why would any investor be interested in this?

Ha luitjes,

Via twitter kwam ik dit tegen:
https://twitter.com/Bitfinexed/status/924704580931289088

Deze twitteraar wil naar mijn bescheiden mening nog wel eens onzin uitkramen, maar ik denk dat hij hier toch echt een punt heeft:

• Het was mij totaal niet opgevallen maar het aantal USDT in omloop stijgt inderdaad
• Nadat er 25M USDT was 'bijgeprint', een dag later een megapump
• Op tether.to totaal geen transparantie te vinden hoe het gedekt is, en of het gedekt is
• Tether is niet uit te betalen, tether is geen bank

Ik zet hier hele grote vraagtekens bij, ben ik de enige?

Ha luitjes,

Velen van ons staan denk ik te popelen op 22 augustus, SEGWIT activatie. Ik ga er gemakshalve even van uit dat het gebeurd.

Mijn prognose, en ik hoor graag jullie commentaar:

- Ik vermoed dat er euforie gaat heersen en BTC richting de 4K gaat, en dat de euforie nog dagen, misschien wel weken duurt en ook richting de 5K stoomt.
- Een aantal Alts ontploffen

Nu komt het:

- Velen vergelijken de enorme rally van BTC met wat er in November 2013 gebeurde. In 1 maand 500%, daarna een enorme correctie.
- In November hebben we de 2X fork. (nog maar zien, maar laten we het even aannemen)
- De November 2013 rally/hyperbool komt nu overheen met een prijs rond de 5,5K

Mocht die HF er komen, dan zijn er denk ik een aantal die zoveel mogelijk BTC willen inslaan. Daar ik denk dat we in September alle records al verbreken, vermoed ik ergens dat een paar whales hard dumpen om zo paniek te veroorzaken, zodat nog meer mensen dumpen, onder het motto: 2X komt eraan en we zitten en we zitten op hetzelfde rally-niveau als 2013 (500%). BTC dropt hard, gaat zelfs richting de 1,8K. Whales kopen weer goedkoop hun BTC in om een sterke positie te bemachtigen zodra 2X geboren word.

Kortom: een paar whales gaan exit zodra de prijs zeer hoog is, met als doel de prijs zo laag mogelijk te krijgen pal voor de 2X release.

Ik vraag me af wat jullie hiervan denken, en waar jullie denken dat de prijs kan worden tot aan eind September?

[edit]

Ik houd even dit plaatje aan:

Hi Community!

Still a few blocks for the 'technical lock-in' and we will 'probably' have Segwit in roughly 2 weeks. Does that finally end the scaling-debate? Personally I don't think so, as scaling will always remain an issue. In a couple of weeks we can celebrate the power of UASFs and Bitcoins technical progression for a short period. After that, reality will kick back in and all of us will face another big question: 2X or BTC?

The 2X part of the New York agreement states:
- A large part of mining power will be taken from BTC and moved to 2X
- A lot of Exchanges have agreed on exchanging 2X
- A lot of wallets have agreed on supporting 2X

An important note: Bitcoin Core does NOT support 2X

My personal view and choice: I think 2X will fail, and thus many people see it as another airdrop and sell when they think the price is right for it.

I know i cannot speak for the entire community, but to me it feels like some people (miners) are trying to force the community towards 2X and making choices for us, while none of us wants 2X, just a few miners. We are being forced by a group of people who have their economic incentives. Imho, the ultimate reason Bitcoin is a success, is because it gives you ultimate freedom. No one is forced, everything is free, it has a truly magnificent development team who put security, continuation, efficiency and Satoshi's white paper first. Core does not have economic incentives, miners do.

I truly believe that the community follows Core, and not a group of miners that force us in their hands by using hashrate power. I support Bitcoin Core, and the more support in the community i see for it, the faster i will dump the 2X coin.

** Note: 2X is planned for November. I personally doubt they will make it as it i feel development needs more time, and miners/exchanges can pull out of NYA.

I like the idea of being able to move my holdings out quickly.

I tried it, it works fine, except I'm missing complete transparency on Audits. They claim to have 320M USD in store and say "Our reserve holdings are published daily and subject to frequent professional audits". Where can i find these audit results? Who is auditing exactly what?

So far I'm not really impressed about their so called '100% transparency'.

Anyone using it or have more information about their audits?

Hi folks!

"One Tether (USDT) is always backed by one 1USD."

The token is premined, according to Coinmarketcap there are 127,493,815 USDT circulating, which means Tether needs to hold 127,493,815$ in stock correct? According to a couple of sites, their balances can be verified right here: https://wallet.tether.to/transparency

What i don't understand: how does that tell you they actually have that amount of money in store and have all the USDTs backed? They can put whatever they want up there? "Yeah no worries dude we got the dollars here in a safe, you just get your USDT bro, no worries. Just take a look at our site, see? It says we got it."

They claim they got their bankaccounts and papers checked by 'professionals' on regular basis, but where can i verify that? Shouldn't they at least not be listing who is auditing them so we can do some more investigation?

I mean come on.... are you kidding me?

Look at this chart:


Have we forgot about december 2013?  

I have people at my work talking about fucking Masarati's ffs, while a lot of pro's completely burn the 'agreement' that has been made yesterday by greedy shitheads like Roger Ver and Jihan Wu (no core devs involved). Alts are going crasy atm because news keeps flooding in from Consensus 2017. I wonder everybody is still with 2 feet on the ground?

Hi,

This 1,5 week the BTC had trouble breaking through the 588$ barrier, and after watching football last night, I check the BTC price and got surprised in a very positive way: $610$ and climbing. At the moment it is 630$+

We are getting closer and closer to halving, what pricerange do you guys expect at 1 July?

Hi everyone,

One month ago Bitcoin caught my eye again. After it dropped dramatically (from $1100 to $150?) i couldnt really be bothered to read any BTC related shit, but i got suprised when i read a new article about the BTC going 400+ again... What is this Bitcoin? How does it work? How is it possible this technology is not dead in a world controlled by what i call 'the eilite'? Is it possible 'the elite' can't get rid of it? Is it really true you can sell one BTC for 400$? How is this thing still alive? How the fuck does it work?

I wanted to find out what this bitcoin really is. For me, as a regular, it felt i had to leave the 'normal'  and 'safe'  internet and had to enter a unknown different area of the internet with some possible dark corners in it. I saw messages and news items everywhere, telling me it was unsafe, telling me it was marvelous, telling me it was next-gen, telling me you will get bankrupt and all kinds of other stuff. I didn't really trusted the whole business until i came across a very decent site which told me in a clear Youtube video what the bitcoin really was. Need information? Call us! Or visit us on our next meeting! It was a video dedicated to normal people like me, instead of financial guru's.

I went back to the internet and wanted to learn more about this system, and altough i'm technician, i was surprised i couldn't understand half of how it works, but the terms 'peer-to-peer' and decentralized really got me thinking. Wait, is it seriously true this 'more or less works like Napster' but 40x more sophisticated, that central banks cannot control? This can only work when people widely accept it? But the price just went up again, so people seem to accept it?

It took me just one day to figure out, that BTC IS revolutionary. I did bought a couple of BTCs and once they arrived in my wallet (and noticed cool stuff like other nodes acknowledge the transcation) it felt like i opened a door, with a new world behind it. A digital world where payments are 'as good as' anonymous, instant, and most important: not controlled by the elite.

I noticed a lot of speculations where BTC lovers are hoping it will eventually reach the 'normal citizen'. Although i'm IT Staff, for some reason the company i bought the BTCs took away the barrier for me to at least take a look at it, and convinced me that BTC is something very unique, very exciting. Altough its future is not yet totally clear, lots of the technique behind it is marvelous, amazing, and normal people like me realize that the more people invest in it, the bigger it gets, and the bigger WE as normal people get.

I think the BTC is revolutionary but is still in the 'dark and unknown area' of the internet for the simple reason i had to push myself though a emotional barrier to buy a couple. That's where  it got developed for good reasons but for it to move on, it needs to leave that area. People need to understand that Bitcoin isnt complex and revolutionary at all, they need to understand that it is 'just another currency'.

It will imho be the biggest problem of all: how do you spread this word in a world that is in control of the elite, that controls media, banks and currency. The fact that no matter all the negative news spread out, the price of one BTC stills keeps rising, gives me hope there is a chance my generation could see the very beginnings of humanity globally making their first steps in a decentralized world where value and interest is not beeing manipulated.

I think BTC is revolutionary, it's beautiful, so beautiful it can't be neglected.
