The market is currently in a deep downtrend, in my opinion, btc may be down to 5k5 then turn up strong! What do you think?

Im waiting it to drop hard to reenter with a large position and never look again at any chart.

For day trading you have to be 100% in front of the computer. If you can't spend that time, go for hodl or trading on longer timeframes.
3  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Best Lightning Apps? on: June 20, 2018, 07:47:09 AM
Which is the best lightning network app to control your LN node remotely with the phone? I couldn't find any worth a try.
I am currently using the lnd daemon.

Checked. All my fee sums are zero.

Do you suppose routing fees might increase as larger hubs come into existence? My reasoning is that those who have larger funded channels will be able to service more users, which will lead to them being able to dictate higher routing fees for the sake of convenience (so users don't have to create new channels for larger sums, for instance).

Of course fees will increase but not yet. People is trying to get the most number of nodes connected so when someone new joins the Lightning Network the see oh thats a big node I'll connect to it, and so they will keep growing.

For successfully routing payments, having channels with large amounts will be better but for now the "most" expensive thing you can buy with lightning is blockstream t-shirts so 200k satoshis is already a big channel for now.

No one can predict the price, they just gamble. The best way to optimise your buys is to split your investment amount and try to buy a little every day/week instead of buying all at once (unless we reach 4000k or something like that hehehe FUD).

I've been reading up on the Lightning Network, and I read that you can earn routing fees by having users relay LN transactions through your node. What I'd like to know is this:

  • How can I determine if someone decided to relay through my node? Through incoming connections?
  • Are open channels imperative to earning routing fees? If so, how many are optimal?

I'm aware that I might earn only a handful of satoshi, but I'm interested in new experiences and technologies.


Just run lncli feereport

If your are not moving the amounts in your channels that should indicate how much you have earned.
But at this time people have channels with subsatoshis or zero fees. I have had my nodes running for 3 months and no one has routed through me (or not that I know of).

If there is a better solution like a line on the logs, please tell me
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My new trading strategy, what's yours? on: June 14, 2018, 10:22:34 AM
Buying and holding coins is not as profitable as it was used to be.
Thus, I decided to be working and investing in promising ICOs.
Once the ICO is over I normally sell all the coins/tokens.

I recently discovered, few weeks after the ICO the value of coins/tokens normally drop by a minimum of 30% - so that is my entry level again.
Meaning once I noticed that, I'll just go ahead and rebuy the same coins/tokens at cheaper rates. By doing that, I can make lots of profits.
Share with us what you think about my latest strategy, thanks Smiley





Investing in ICOs is highly risky. Without taking into account if they are illegal, scams or whatever, you MUST be sure there hasn't been any preICO, private sale or better promo than yours. You might think you are buy that coin cheap, but someone else could have bought it at 1/4, 1/10... your price and dump it much harder than you. Don't risk in ICO, just buy them when they are out and the have survived the initial dump.

I just received the bounty tokens but their erc20 hash is different from those I bought at ICO. What is going on? shouldn't they be the same token?
9  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it chance to jump in? on: June 11, 2018, 07:57:32 AM
Yes I just set a prince range to buy, think is going a little bit lower. So I will start accumulating bitcoin and other alt coins I like. No matter what blockchain is here to stay Smiley

Even if the path structure doesn't match, you can make a symlink. It can be done on Windoze, I'm sure other OSes also have that.

About taking that long - it gets data from various nodes so the download is not continuous, also it has to "crunch" that data (check validity and probably other operations too). And I think that's over 150GB of data.


symlink in *nix is called a softlink..
ln -s

as for the sync speed: OP is talking about btcd. In my experience, btcd is a lot slower than bitcoin core when it comes to syncing (i'm currently close to giving up syncing my own btcd node and switching back to bitcoind, since my node has been syncing for 2+ weeks now).
IIRC correctly, it has something to do with the fact that btcd doesn't multithread it's sync process... When i noticed the slow sync speed, i remember i found the rationale behind the slow sync speed somewhere on a github ticket, i'm just to lazy to try to search the ticket again Smiley


Yeah I was referring to btcd, it is much slower, two months ago, when I installed my node it took almost one month to sync the whole blockchain, that just doesn't make any sense. Mighty Roasbeef told me it is because btcd has less caching. But still, it takes ages...
11  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Transfer a btc full node to another server on: June 07, 2018, 12:05:16 PM
Its possible. The data structure for every OS is the same, AFAIK.

Just install the client as how you would usually do. You can either copy the entire data directory to the default data directory or to a different directory. For OS with UI, the client will prompt you to select a data directory if it doesn't detect it in the default directory. You can always point your client to the directory in the conf file or at startup.

I specified a different --datadir to save the blockchain so it is not saved on ~./btcd but on another path. What I meant by data structure was PATHs, sorry for confusion.

Ok thanks for the answer.

BTW do you know why btcd takes that much in syncing from the beginning? Last time it took more than a week
12  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Transfer a btc full node to another server on: June 07, 2018, 11:05:23 AM
I want to transfer my btcd full node to a different server.
Since btcd takes ages to sync, I want to copy the blockchain I already have and start syncing again once its transferred.
Is this possible? Do I have to keep the same directories structure?
13  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: LN question about refunding channels on: June 07, 2018, 10:24:45 AM
I think refunding channels is not available. One thing that is going to be available in LND, or at least I think someone asked for it, if Alice endpoint channel to pay Bob is empty, you can pay through all your other channels using a "mean" amount for each one.
