i didn't follow this, is this minable, i assume no right?

Yes it is mineable

FTS.. anyone wants to buy Steemit  account with 140.3 Steem power ? 0.5 btc

You could easily sell that in Bittrex...

No you can't. Steem power can't be transferred to the exchange to sell.

Price is way to low for the new hashrate...

No it isn't. Price was stuck at 50c USD for a long time. It is up 4x from that now. Hash rate is not up more than that, and probably less.

What is meant by "Blogging is the new mining"?

So new coins are being issued on the blockchain when a new blog post is being created? This is what it sounds like..

Created and gets upvotes. Spamming blog posts that no one votes for is not effective.

Running sweep_all required a larger fee (26.254993623+0.08), compared to just doing the transfer (26.30+0.02, which would've left 0.01493623 at the old address).

Based on this, it makes me wonder what circumstances a person might decide to do a sweep_all in the first place. I guess a person might argue for giving back a little extra to the miners rather than leaving the MyMonero address with any dust? Wink

There isn't really a reason. Some people didn't like the idea of leaving some dust in the wallet, so a sweep_all function was implemented. That doesn't mean you should use it. I think archiving the wallet is better.

Is there any way to do this through paypal?

No. You can maybe find someone to trade bitcoin or another crypto for paypal.

Hi
Dear smooth,
Feeling nonsence to asking this! But failed to explore any alternative. Was tried my best. After seeing this thread got strong believe you can solve my problem. Want to know_ how to recover steemit.com password, if anyone ( it's me) failed to remember initial input ?

Looking forword to hearing from you. Have a great Sunday as well!

There is no way to recover a password. You have to remember it, guess it, or create a new account.

I'm interested, please send me a PM with additional information.

PM sent.

I still don`t quite understand why you need STEEM, so I "powered up".

Steem (not powered up) exists only for short term liquidity and trading purposes. If you want to invest longer term then you definitely want to power up, since earns "interest" (literally anti-dilution payments) in more Steem and regular powered-down Steem does not. Over time Steem Power will outperform Steem by an increasingly wide margin.

Is it correct that holding STEEM Dollar pays you 10% p.a. interest? Where does that money come from and is there no cap, i.e. no maximal amount that can be invested?

Yes it is correct.

It comes from the same place all steem dollars come from, the blockchain creates it according to programmed rules. There is no cap, although the supply of steem dollars in existence is limited (they are only created to pay posting rewards at a rate that depends on the market value of steem, and from interest).

The 10% rate is not guaranteed to remain the same in the future. It may be adjusted as needed to help maintain price stability of steem dollars.

Once you get it restored, you can enter the command sweep_unmixable.

Actually, now that I think about it this really won't solve your issue. You may need to compile your own simplewallet to use the sweep_all . And all this will do is get your outputs into one output, which should then make figuring out the fee to empty your wallet really easy.


Yeah, I've been trying to get my head wrapped around how Monero handles transfers.

For example, say I have 26.33493623 in my wallet. If I run sweep_unmixable, it tells me "Error: No unmixable outputs found."

So, one might figure, that means I can transfer, with a mixin of 2, the full amount of the wallet, sans a fee. In other words:
26.314936230000 + 0.02 fee.

However, If I try to transfer that, the 26.314936230000, it says,
"Error: not enough money to transfer, available only 26.320000000000, transaction amount 26.334936230000 = 26.314936230000 + 0.020000000000 (fee)"

So, by way of trial and error, I determine that the most that simplewallet will actually let me transfer is 26.30 + 0.02 fee, but that only adds up to the "available" 26.32. (I have no pending transactions or anything, so, "available" might be slightly misleading in the circumstance). So, transferring 26.30+0.02 would leave me with 0.01493623 XMR remaining in my wallet, right? By this logic, it would seem to mean that there is 0.01493623 XMR in this wallet that is unspendable.

Can anyone explain how this works?

The fee is 0.01 XMR per KB of transaction data. If you have outputs in your wallet that are extremely low value, it can take more than 1 KB to create a transaction spending 0.01 XMR worth of them. In that case the best thing to do is archive the wallet with the tiny amount of coins left in it and hope that in the future transaction fees will be lower (which will certainly be the case if XMR is worth more).

In fact this is true even when it isn't impossible to spend. Let's say you have 0.04 left in your wallet and it would cost 0.03 in tx fee to spend it. Is that 75% cost worth it? Probably not. Better to archive the wallet and wait for possible lower fees.

Another question....I`ve bought a BTC worth of STEEM on Bittrex, sent it to Steemit, converted it to STEEM Power and now the USD amount shown is roughly 400 USD.
So how did I manage to loose roughly 250 USD in the process?  Cheesy

Haha... you haven't lost anything. The $figure on Steemit is an estimate (it's based on an average price over 7 days I think - the White Paper goes into detail about this). Your Steem dollars would be based on whether you sell it for on the open market when you power down.

This. The value displayed (indeed all the dollar values) displayed on the site are using a historical average. Assuming the price remains at least at its current levels, the dollar values displayed will climb over the next several days.

how do you send STEEM from Bittrex to your steemit-wallet?
When I click deposit I only see the Bitcoin conversion option.

same way you send bitcoin from bittrex...

Maybe I am somehow confused, but I don`t see my STEEM address in my steemit.com wallet.
I only see the option "send Bitcoin", I guess to auto-convert to STEEM.

Your Steemit username is your Steem address.

E.g. if your Steemit user name is macno, put macno as the Registered Acct in Bittrex. It should go to you. As always it's worth testing with small amounts first.

Oh, really? That`s cool. Is the "Memo" field in Bittrex important or can I leave that blank? Thank you!
BTW: Steemit looks cool, but boy is it hard to grasp for beginners...

The memo field is needed when sending TO an address that is a shared wallet, such as sending to an exchange. (Otherwise it can be used to include any note with the payment, such as "Thanks for lunch!")

When sending TO your own wallet, you do not need the memo field.

I would really like to know why fluffy has not responded to my question in the main thread when I see him posting drivel on reddit. Has the team given up on BCT? Even smooth has been conspicuously absent recently. I figured it was the holiday weekend (US anyway) but now I wonder.

I have been busy and reduced time on forums. Not absent though. No idea about fluffypony, but I know he has not spent a lot of time on bitcointalk for quite a while and has been more active on reddit and twitter (and maybe others).

As Lauda said, it's no good to set a precedent for creating a section per altcoin. Then we'd need thousands of altcoin sections.
Thousands? No.

Very few coins rise to the level of having a significant community or have any lasting significance (most are effectively dead within a few months at most). How many have their own stackexchange? How many have the level of traffic and subscribers on their subreddits? How many are still in active development after 2.5 years?
If the coin has a significant community then they can surely move to a dedicated forum for that coin. I disagree with the expansion towards this direction in general.

I wasn't actually arguing it was a good idea or not, just responding to the idea (incorrect IMO) that creating a section for a very small number of significant coins would require "a section per altcoin" (i.e., thousands). Just as there are only a limited number of Bitcoin-related sections (mining, economics, etc.) and not a section for every conceivable Bitcoin-related topic, the forum admins could use their judgement as to which coins have a sufficient critical mass of interest and sustained relevance.

I most emphatically would not support a section for each and every altcoin of no significance but the ones that rise to a level where such a a section would actually be useful are few and far between (maybe 5-10 at the most).

Just a question for whenever I can make an account but does STEEM work with other social media like if I post it to facebook can other people read the post without making an account and can they vote on it or do they have to make an account how does that all work and is there a referral system or anything like that jw

Anyone can read. To post or vote you need an account.

1457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why Etherium price is decreasing day by day ? on: July 06, 2016, 01:05:55 AM
I didn't realize there was a actual hack.  I thought it was just poor coding in the dao. 

by the sounds of it that's exactly what it is. and i don't think it was even poor coding. the dao worked correctly, they didn't foresee the angle the 'hacker' used.

How can anyone prove it wasn't foreseen?
1458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why Etherium price is decreasing day by day ? on: July 05, 2016, 11:14:42 PM
I'll clear all the FUD : Ethereum wasn't hacked at all. That was just The DAO. There is not consequence on Ethereum at all.

It was socially engineered to hack itself.
1459  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Steemit.com: Blogging is the new Mining on: July 05, 2016, 08:05:48 PM
I check my history wallet on account steemit, and i have 12.876 VEST.
What is the VEST?

It is the older unit for Steem Power. 1 million VESTS is currently worth about about 200 SP.

1460  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Why Etherium price is decreasing day by day ? on: July 05, 2016, 07:30:41 AM
     Due to the nature of the DAO attack, which demonstrated a recursive call vulnerability in the Solidarity language for the EVM, is why the price is tumbling. They tried to blacklist the Child Dao that drained the DAO of over 3 million Ether with the soft fork. They quickly discovered that the soft fork was vulnerable to an attack, where the DAO attacker could basically flood the network with calls that would have the miners producing empty blocks for days or weeks. So they had to give up on the soft fork. This has caused an additional fall in price as investors lose confidence in the Ethereum Foundation's ability to solve the DAO attack problem. Right now, the only option appears to be a hard fork. The hard fork option is somewhat unpopular. This also has contributed to Ethereum's downfall in the markets.
     The only hope that Ethereum will ever have is if it can be demonstrated that a secure smart contract, that is complex, can actually be programmed and run on the EVM. Some think that that the Solidarity language running on the EVM is too flawed to ever function as an economical and secure way to run DAPPS and smart contracts on a distributed, decentralized network.

So bottom line is that after two years they are, at best, more or less at square one. No surprise the price is dropping.
