parabens pelo topico.

Certamente irá ajudar muitos usuários novatos que estão procurando uma campanha para se encaixarem.

A GOLD realmente eu acho bastante interessante, até pq ela já está em exchanges. Eu consegui pegar 5 usd nela numa campanha do youtube rsrs se um dia ela for pra binance, vou trocar por btc.

Mas eu queria mesmo era uma campanha no Reddit, onde tenho uma boa conta :/

Although they state that gift cards only work in some areas, in fact, if you try it still works in other areas.

I can try with no guarantees and I will probably just lose money, buying a useless gift card which cannot be redeemed in my country.


Quote
I can take Steam and Google Play for example. You can use it anywhere  Cheesy

Those gift cards are not even region locked LOL. They are not even stated to be region locked.

Google Pay for example use this region lock functionality in the google accounts themselves. I see different apps in my Play Store than you, with different prices.

Quote
For a few others, you can change the region to use.

You can change the region of a google account a lose much more than what you would possible  save. I wouldn't be to install local apps, such as bike rentals, local stores that gives discounts, and so on. I have tried it already.

I don't want to delete my spotify account and create a new one to pay 3usd per month. Not worth the effort.
A netflix account from another region would change its language. I would have to watch movies without subtitles , permanently use a VPN...

You think that's is a smart solution, but the solution would cause bigger problems than the original problem.



Quote
I don't see much difficulty in the problem you are describing.

You don't see difficult in the problem because you don't have it, probably because you live in a rich country which is much more free than Brazil.

The reason why region locks exists is that those gift cards are usually much more expensive here, due to taxes and fees.


But I would like to hear what @bitrefill have to say about 15-40% extra price in bitcoin in Brazil. Probably it is due to taxes and fees also, but maybe they are just ignoring Brazil?

Imagine that in some years only ~50 bitcoins will be bornt every day. Miners will not afford mining cost EXCEPT if bitcoin price will rise above 50.000$

So in a few words only if miners can afford from their rewarded BTC, the mining cost. Only then bitcoin will survive. Due to halving, price will rise because if a miner finds pricy his equipment now, then he will retire 4 years later.

Will miners that will mine blocks in the year 2136, be happy with their tiny reward + fees? If they can mine, it means that they will afford the electricity meaning: 1 satoshi will be much more expensive than now.

No.

Mining difficult adjusts itself to the hasrate.

If miners leave, it will be cheaper to mine so it will always be profitable. If miners leave it will become cheaper to mine a block, if miners join again, it will become expensive again.

Perfect system Wink
8284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some questions on BTC on: May 18, 2020, 04:30:25 AM
1. I read that never store all your coins in one wallet. So wts the solution? should I install two electrum standalone wallets and store my coins in both of them?

You should have 2 wallets because if you lose a device or it gets burned you can still recover your coins. Having two wallets which are exactly the same in the same device defeats the whole purpose of having 2 wallets.

You should have at least one for big amounts which you will never touch (like a hardware wallet) and one other for small transactions (a mobile for example)


Quote
2. I have written seed on a paper to recover my BTC in case my computer got corrupt. What thing apart from seed should I backup to recover my wallet in case my system is corrupted.
Nothing else.If you made a passphrase, you have to note it down as well, but it is almost part of the seed.

Quote
3. Strong password is good enough to secure a wallet or I have to do something else also.

No, a password in your wallet doens't give you any additional security, only additional privacy (as nobody could look in your funds without it). but your funds can be retrieved without the passwrod, if the hacker gets the seed.
8285  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: bc1 Native Segwit with Electrum on: May 18, 2020, 03:55:46 AM
you have to select the script type. modifying the derivation path will not do it. in fact you need not touch the derivation path at all.
I got confused with this text, and I think the same as HCP.

whereas the derivation path is just that, the path to use to get to the keys you want to use.



The script is simple specifying a derivation path. To generate a segwit address from the seed you have to specify the proper derivation path, i.e. how to derive your keys to generate a proper segwit
 
It was defined in BIP 49, which defined a common derivation scheme for Segwit wallets.

Or, if you have a friend/relative with a U.S credit card/PayPal account, you could ask them to make an account for you, and it's possible to remove the linked payment method so there should be no trust issues.

The problem is that the gift cards only work in the region they are redeemed. As my spotify account is from Brazil, I cant use a US gift card.

Are you suggesting that I Make a new spotify account to use gift card from US? Not worth the effort... it is a cheap service and I can just  pay with fiat... or use bitpay..
8287  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Unconfirmed Transaction for almost 16 hours! on: May 17, 2020, 05:22:58 PM
you might as well estimate with all the data available rather than just doing what some algorithm tells you to.


Algorithms are our friends , not enemies.  Pow calculations are algorithms.
 you can simple make an algorithm that does the same analysis you made   or even better using past filing mempool data to estimate the value much more precisely .

It is just a matter of finding a good website who uses a good algorithm or to make one.

And this sort of thing, such as estimating fees is one example of something that a good algorithm can make better than any person.

No...  For all the reasons outlined by o_e_l_e_o, it is simply impossible to create a "foolproof, 100% accurate, fee estimation model".

Who said about 100% accurate?
I just suggest that the newbie use some estimation instead of none...

Additionally,  as i said earlier, a more precise method would be simple to use all the data available to determinate a fee to pay to get in the next X blocks.

I think it is not that complicated to get a working algorithm that could do that.. using past mempool filling data for example

Why don't you run this awareness campaign as social media bounty - Facebook, Twitter, Reddit or even Instagram? I believe that should give you a better mileage and exposure.
Because they are just waste of resources. Social media bounty will bring nothing of benefit for promoting a gambling sites.

I don't think Reddit is a waste of resources. It is a forum and a social media. And lots of cryptocurrency users use Reddit a lot. It has some of the largests cryptocurrency communities.
8289  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor announces Tropic Square on: May 17, 2020, 02:02:41 PM
You should read the rest of the text on your own, especially if you are disappointed with the recently found vulnerabilities in Trezor.

Are you talking about the vulnerability discovered by Ledger about an year ago?
https://news.bitcoin.com/ledger-reveals-physical-exploits-against-trezor-hardware-wallets/

Or is there any other?

This is not a huge vulnerability imo, as the attacker would need pyshical access and you can use a passphrase which would make it much harder to exploit. Isn't it?
8290  Economy / Exchanges / Re: CMC updates exchange metrics, Binance now ranks first on: May 17, 2020, 02:00:00 PM
Well, this was to be expected. Though I think the updated metrics are not really good either. Maybe unique visitors would count but hey that's still easy to fake out. Setting up a botnet to visit the website multiple times in a day is one of the ways you can get around it.


This is one way to create a fake volume, but counting visitors is not that important.

One big client can make a huge difference in volume and he will still count as only one access.

It is very difficult to prevent data manipulation in all those exchanges around the world..

As it tops $.01.....what made ETN hover around 5x GAINS!

That's exactly the ico price from 2017.

Thise coins are good for pump and dump, but aren't usually good for long term investment
8292  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Unconfirmed Transaction for almost 16 hours! on: May 16, 2020, 04:31:21 PM
Scroll to the bottom graph (entitled "Mempool size in MB"), mouse over the far right of the graph, and choose how close to the tip of the mempool you want to be. Within 0.1 MB will almost always put you in the next block. Within 1 MB will get you confirmed within the next block or two, provided the mempool isn't rapidly filling. Right now 60 sats/vbyte would put you within 0.1 MB and confirm you within 10 minutes. 14 sats/vbyte would put you within 1 MB and confirm you within the hour. bitcoinfees.earn on the other hand is recommending a whopping 192 sats/vbyte. That fee would put you in the top 30 transactions in a mempool of over 31,000, approximately 0.004 MB from the tip. Completely unnecessary and a gross overpayment.

You made a nice estimation but it is not that simple, as new transactions are coming at every moment. You are not considering this, so a 14 sat fee may stay much longer within 1mb...

There must be more accurate methods

There is still so much tools to be build in our ecosystem
8293  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: WTF on: May 16, 2020, 02:57:26 PM
I'm just mad at chipmixer team because it's the second time they gave me unconfirmed chips. Why the hell on earth did you do this?

The network is very congested now. I think you can give them some time. Which fee did they use for the chips?

Relax, chipmixer has  a good reputation and I believe you will have access to your coins in no time.
8294  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Unconfirmed Transaction for almost 16 hours! on: May 16, 2020, 02:53:46 PM
Although you recommend jochen-hoenicke as the only relevant and reliable site when it comes to fees, maybe one of you should make a tutorial for beginners to know how to use this site.

Does this site recommend any fee? I see only mempool data there. I see no estimative like "use 10 sat byte to get the next 6 blocks"


If I only got 1 satoshi every time I read a statement like this I would be a rich man Roll Eyes

All of the websites do really overestimate fees, but an overestimation is better than nothing, especially for newbies...
8295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: charges to transfer pounds into US-based exchanges on: May 16, 2020, 02:50:26 PM
If i want to have access to bitcoin on the second exchange should I send from one to exchange to the other? and should i be able to move bitcoin from one exchange to another free of charge?
You will pay withdrawal fees,which are usually quite high.
In binance for example the fee is 0.0004 BTC (https://www.binance.com/en/fee/deposit)

The best and most secure procedure is to hold your btc in your own wallet (such as Electrum.org) and move to exchanges only when you want to trade or convert back to fiat.

While your funds are in an exchange, the exchange is the one who holds your funds and if the exchange face any financial or legal problem your btc are at risk.
8296  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature campaigns and some discussion about seo on: May 16, 2020, 02:08:14 PM
I can't answer to those questions due to I never had an SEO monitoring related stuff on particular website/services before here in bitcointalk. But one thing for sure for #1 is a no.

I could almost guarantee that it does. Links on Bitcointalk are "dofollow" links(like what BitMaxz said) hence the links from the signature area do help a lot in terms of domain authority as it would count as a backlink. And knowing that Bitcointalk ranks really high in the Bitcoin niche, this does help quite significantly.

Source: not an expert per se, but I know a good amount of SEO from handling multiple blogs/websites.


I agree 100% with this. I can almost guarantee it does. Google reads all signatures and dofollow links. Those crawlers and scrapping tools will certainly identify the links from a lot of posts to your website from a domain with high authority (bitcointalk.org).

Additionally, if you are hiring reputable members, many users will get curious and click your links.
8297  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin address balance checker. on: May 16, 2020, 02:02:01 PM
Can anyone help me find a tool to serve my purpose.

Cheers,

I have created a tool in excel that does exactly that, unlimited number of addresses and pretty easy to use.
Look here:

Create an Address and Wallet Watcher for free with Excel+ Blockchair API

As I have many addresses with balance, I really need a tool like this,.

Additionally, you can check these websites, but both have cons:

http://www.homebitcoin.com/easybalance/ (only for 1 and 3 addresses, don't recognize native segwit)
www.blockonomics.co (need to create an account, bad for privacy)
8298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this what's preventing wide-spread adoption? on: May 16, 2020, 01:58:09 PM
I think your average joe does not really care about whether it is anonymous or not. The biggest impediment to widespread adoption is that it requires too much of a learning curve. Once sending crypto becomes as easy as sending a tweet then you will see the mass audience and not just the technologically savvy adopt it.

I partially agree with this. I think it is easy enough already, however we have too many scams around.

There are too many bitcoin cash, bitcoin sv, bitcoin gold etc... which is confusing for newcomers. There are also too many scam tokens around, w hich are really problematic to newcomer which may lose money and that taints bitcoin reputation.

Additionally, there aren't still many things we can buy with it, neither proper tools for traditional investors (such as an ETF).

Realmente isso e algo passível de julgamento(comprar ou vender contas ou merits) e abriria algumas ou muitas brechas para outros usuários burlarem o sistema, então seguiremos na luta. Só uma duvida, uma vez eu vi uma campanha onde um dos requisitos era meritas o autor da mesma, então no caso muito provavelmente ele tomou um red trust? Ou nesse caso seria algo valido?

Rapaz, comprar ou vender merits é contra as regras do forum e contra qualquer principio basico de convivencia no forum.

O sistema de merits existe justamente pra impedir pessoas que não contribuem pro forum de poderem evoluir a conta. Se voce compra, voce burla o sistema. É mais do que óbvio.

É um Red trust merecido... e nada impede que daqui a uns meses voce tome um red trust por conta desse comentário, infelizmente.

Ontem dei uma passada nas campanhas de altcoins também, ta feia a situação, nada que preste..
Eu acho a do GOLD boa, uma stable coin de gold e eles fazem uns pagamentos em ETH pelo q eu entendi, nunca participei.... mas seria uma opcao se eu estivesse "desempregado" rsrs

Depois acham que no fórum não se ganha dinheiro.

Não é bem "ganhar" dinheiro né... dá trabalho manter tantos posts de qualidade e uma reputação no forum. Eu gasto horas e horas do meu dia aqui todos os dias. Tento ler bastante coisas tb para ter conteúdo para adicionar e me manter em boas camapnhas.
