Thanks for this. What of situation where an asset which doesn't have personal wallet is stored in an exchange say Binance. How do we ensure the safety of our assets on this exchange?

Safety of our assets on an exchange is on the mercy of Jesus because when you don't have your private key in your hands, you don't own them yourself but owe them to that exchange. The safety of those assets depend on the exchange's security itself and if a hacker decides to DOX a specific altcoin and steal it from the system, it will surely affect you and others because the exchange will not be able to bear with huge losses that go out of their limits. So it's better to save our coins in our personal wallets if you are going to hold them for long time.

10 minutes is not the exact time it takes to find a block every time. While you are calculating that you are presently watching this number to be higher, let me tell you that it takes an average of 10 minutes but sometimes, it takes more than 20-50 minutes and even an hour or more to find just one block taking into account many different factors that affect the difficulty and block finding times. But these are adjusted accordingly with time and the final number reaches near or more than 144 blocks a day so seeing the number quite higher than what you have calculated is not so surprising.

OP when you are clearly mentioning the name of your CEO and address on your website, why did you hide it in the Whois? I searched for it and it is showing nothing except the country of registration is Korea. Can you provide more information about the team behind? Or if the CEO can come out of the shadow and show his real face publicly? I asked this getting inspired by Binance's CEO.
1664  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: 0 sat/byte fee ? on: August 29, 2019, 12:12:44 PM
Sorry to butt in but does this mean that it is not possible at all anymore to get 0 fee transactions confirmed?

Because as user above puts it, you can possibly sign and broadcast the transaction, but since nobody will confirm it, it's just not worth to do it anymore? Why do people still try?

I am aware  that there are a few 'good' miners who still mine BTC as a hobby and not for their financial profits, if they decide to go for charity mining for some time where they go below ground level of 1 sat/byte and choose to take 0 sat/byte transactions in their block, there are 100% chances of getting your 0 sat 'fully free' transactions confirmed. But I thought about a question that comes in the way, how much time will it take from them to confirm those transactions? Because not every other miner there will do this, so those who are doing it need to have enough hash power to get a block in their hands.
1665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why haven't governments illegalized bitcoin transactions? on: August 29, 2019, 08:50:23 AM
They cannot do that because Bitcoins can be used for illegal things but that doesn't make Bitcoins illegal as the same is with cash. They cannot illegalize the transactions as whether they are anonymous or pseudonymous but they have an existence online and that's blockchain. One big reason is that it has the Globe involved in it and when your citizens are supporting something, you need to have a leader sort of personality to drive them away off Bitcoins but I don't think many countries have that influential person who has the accent to stop others from using it and the fear of losing your citizens and your superiority over them will not let you stop them.

....

I don´t fully understand what you mean if you say "tokens" that you could not sell, obviously not speaking about Waves ($WVS) but some shitcoins, or?

You can call them shitcoins yeah because since the volume went from being at least 1 BTC a day worth traded daily to almost 0, I lost the opportunity to gain through the projects I was involved in, which worked under the Waves platform conditions. It didn't play out well and I lost almost BTC1.54 due to that 'as I am having tokens which were worth that amount during 2017'.

Quote
If so, I doubt you (we) will be lucky here, since Waves DEX will not add everything, but start with BNB and ETH, and possibly adding further (bigger) tokens.

I'm also unsure about the possibilities of getting these tokens sold because the audience that will enter this DEX will mainly go for ETH 'and I don't think they will add BNB as it is Binance's native coin and I have not seen any exchange doing that ever'.

Owning your private keys actually means that you own your crypto and it costs not more than a few more $$ to buy a safe device where you can store your coins and be rest assured that you are safe completely. Paper wallets are a great choice if you can properly save them at the right place and can get your hands on them whenever in future you want to. Ledger is still my first choice over anything because I personally have one and I had no issues while keeping my crypto 'safe and secure' on it.
1668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fake satoshi :) on: August 28, 2019, 02:21:25 PM
i am wondering after this "official" embarrassment that Craig Wright ended up with and the fact that everyone now knows he is a criminal, will there be more fake Satoshis or not?

Why not? Didn't you see the new Faketoshi named Bilal Khalid who got the attention of a lot of users thinking that release or self leak or whatever he claimed is going to be real. I wonder how Ivy McLemore's association too got involved in this.

Quote
because so far when CW was scamming, the number of fake Satoshis grew a lot. now maybe that scares them off and we see a drop in their numbers.

Drop in the number but still jumping off jack. The difference is that the style of their show-outs has changed during these years.
1669  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dan Pena - Bitcoin will go down to zero !!! on: August 28, 2019, 02:04:14 PM
I have a question for your so-called Dan Pena -

Please, can you please reveal who is behind Bitcoins and how can he/ she be a threat to it?

OP please stop believing bullshit because these comments come and go but what remains is the truth that prevails between all this shit and that is time, so wait for it to show the truth to you. Predictions are totally useless (even mine) but we all speculate for the peace of our mind.
1670  Economy / Speculation / Re: Huge drop happening within 48 hours! on: August 28, 2019, 01:32:21 PM
You cannot really read charts if you are not a trader. I mean, how can you predict about something you don't have knowledge about? Seeing it and being in it are 2 different things and I can say that there are chances of a drop but not so steep. I think it should stop near $9500 area where it used to be strong for few days before from where it rebounded.
1671  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Crypto exchanges comparison [trade fee + listing fee + age + mobile app + more!] on: August 28, 2019, 12:54:12 PM
OP thanks for the list you have taken down here.

I have a request, can you do a bit extra work by categorizing it between KYC only and non-KYC exchanges for more knowledge to gain extra understanding on where we can trade without fear of withdrawals after KYC only?

And can you add a column with minimum deposit/ withdrawal in BTC only?
1672  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: I don't believe Quantum Computing will ever threaten Bitcoin on: August 28, 2019, 12:38:08 PM
Due to the imaginary nature of quantum physics, people easily get confused.
And using that imagination, computers were invented. Imagine living in the 1800's; they probably imagined how they are going to talk to other people from another side Of the world? How is mathematics going to be easy? I wish there were some machine or equipment for that

Don't be so negative with things that are not yet adequately realized. It all starts with a theory and a what-if.

It's hard yet to realize since there are only two ways to do quantum computing and you need an expensive device to experiment. It needs to be in a vacuum chamber etc. The human race would get there, for sure. (unless we have destroyed our home, Earth) Lol

When devs are getting their hands on these devices, can't a counter-defence (or attack) be introduced by them even at their understanding of 2 qubits to help figure out what type of actual attacks can destruct the memorandum code for Bitcoin? Can it be just attacking the value of Bitcoin or it will also destroy the whole economy? Considering that over 84% of BTC has already been mined, I see it to be least affecting the niche but the thing is, Bitcoin is still 'not fully, but to some extent' vulnerable to this type of *imagination* and we should prepare ourselves for a situation if occurs in near future. Why not find out a technology that can prevent us from the attacks of QC? If QC and other things were imagined and have become truth now, there must be something that can abolish their twitches and burst the bubble before it becomes too big to stop you from breathing.
1673  Economy / Speculation / Re: When bitcoin will hit $1 million ! on: August 27, 2019, 02:51:06 PM
Seeing that Bitcoin is more a game of highs and lows under the influence of high institutional margin traders, I think they will keep BTC at a stable rate more than fluctuate it. It has been distributed too much in the hands of a lot of people that the type of adoption we wanted is somewhat achieved and I think it will not be that easy for BTC to reach even the old ATH.
1674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fake satoshi :) on: August 27, 2019, 02:16:03 PM
Didn't people see this coming from a mile away? Just ignore him and let him die in terms of publicity. I think we're just fanning the flames by giving him all the attention he wants from the cryptocurrency community.

Absolutely right because people are those who are giving him the unnecessary publicity still by getting him in the talks, talking about his news and him being fake. Let him go, let us just ignore him and leave him alone as it will be our best revenge to him.
1675  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I've lost on: August 27, 2019, 01:43:00 PM
I'm sorry for your loss bro and yes, you can share your feelings and emotions here because we are a community and we must help out each other get away from such situations and start living back a normal life. Sometimes, our decisions don't go well as we choose to, destiny has chosen something different then from what we decide to go for and it turns out to be our nightmare.
1676  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Would you buy a house? on: August 27, 2019, 01:16:30 PM
This reminds me of some Australian who was the first to sell his house for BTC.

OP your choice of selling it for BTC is good and converting it to cash is still possible if you can find someone for an OTC trade nearby you. You can hodl your coins if you really settle this trade for BTC and sell it later at a good price as speculations are pointing towards a new ATH soon.
1677  Economy / Exchanges / Re: WAVES Dex + Ethereum Tokens on: August 27, 2019, 10:24:34 AM
I was once a fan of Waves DEX but later, I realized that there is not enough volume to get even my tokens sold and if I wish to buy, I couldn't buy because the price margins were set really high 'like if price of an apple is $1, you are not selling it for less than $200'. I was amazed of the type of security they gave and wanted ETH based tokens traded over there so it's definitely like a dream come true because it will also grab us some extra chance of selling our old tokens again.
1678  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Lending on: August 27, 2019, 10:16:49 AM
Use Bitfinex to lend your coins they have proven their worth.

Bitfinex forced a 36% haircut on their users, even if they got a little token as compensation. And let's not forget their happiness to hand over hundreds of millions of dollars to con artists. I wouldn't trust them any further than I could defecate them.

I don't trust Binance either. I presume they are more competent than Poloniex but no one knows what goes on behind the scenes of these joints and lending is an area where they all seem happy to rape their customers.

Is it taking place in lieu of margin trading that they are offering? What percentages are they going to give while lending and how much time will they provide to get the amount balanced off?
1679  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't put your full trust on exchanges regarding scam projects. on: August 26, 2019, 02:06:56 PM
I don't get it how blindly users of this forum trust IEOs.
Whenever one shows up and there is a bounty campaign or something, they go to it like a honeybee and then when that exchange-listed token does not give them a penny, they come to know that they lost all their time and words behind a project that was not trustworthy and come up with complains of unpaid bounties. This thread must serve to them as a lesson and they should understand that not all projects here are trustworthy but very, very few ones can turn out to be good. Don't fall in the money mud that is attracting you, it may look like chocolate but there's a saying:  'Everything that shines is not Gold'.
1680  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HitBTC lowers its fees on: August 26, 2019, 01:47:35 PM
They send transactions in a batch so definitely there's not much that they pay and I have seen them paying BTC0.00007 for transactions while taking BTC0.002 from each member who withdrew which is garbage in my eyes.

If you follow your coins after each deposit, you'll notice that the exchange starts to move these coins from address to address. It almost looks like they're mixing the inputs. Each one of these transactions requires a fee, and the steep withdrawal fees that people pay are meant to cover these fees. In other words, you're paying the exchange for something it shouldn't charge you for.

People should stop using this exchange. Usding them equals rewarding them for their misbehavior.

I noticed it sometimes that they are mixing the coins to save themselves from something? Maybe an exit scam some time later was planned but they didn't go because of those foolish people who are still using their expensive exchange and paying them the still-very-high fees even after a cut. They are just being used because of the type of denomination they give in each pair listed there as well as the fake volume that gives them the opportunity to show a lollipop to people with some small gains and then crashes. I don't know how they are still working under the hood as a centralized exchange with such fake volumes that is not even licensed.
