You can use insert your privatekey or seed in any wallet that supports Bitcoin cash

Electrum cash or coinomi (mobile) are my recommendations.

Calm down, you didn't lose anything. You just sent your Bitcoin cash to an address which you have the keys but no interface to see the funds.

How come I never see chipmixer signatures on the gambling section? I've run mixing gigs in the past, most of the traffic came from gambling related activity. I wonder what sort of asset you see on super niche local boards above that. Waste of money IMO.

There's also some people that could be replaced by some of the new applicants which are better posters.

Gambling board is a spam board, imo. Nobody reads anything there (but Google), just post. Like altcoin board.

You won't find high quality posts there. Just megathreads with 40 pages.

I believe that the members that are promoting chipmixer are doing a very good job. So many knowledged and trusted members of the community promoting a service makes that service looks reliable.

I would really like to join this campaign and I think I am as good posters as most members here, I don't  think it is fair to replace old members because someone looks a better poster (I would not like if that happened to me). This idea of "better" depends on the time a person has available, the boards hgoes, and it is very difficult to measure. Some boards lack merits, while others you can easily farm them, so merit is not a good metric.

Bumping again after some time.

I still think Portuguese board lacks merit sources.
There are many locals such as Indonesian, Russian, Germany, etc where users are able to obtain enough merits just by posting in local boards.

That's not the case of the Portuguese board, where only like 5-10 individuals were able to rank up after the introduction of the merit system

About taking profits Early.

One should never regret taking profits.
You can have a strategy, like 10% profit every 50% gains, or 100% gains, whatever.

I only took profits from altcoins, to buy bitcoins with them
But you can take some profits on Bitcoin, and if the price goes down you can buy back more, or just keep your cash. You will feel better in bear market times.
9725  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Safe way to send a bitcoin address on: July 31, 2019, 10:45:51 AM
Even though your wallet address is public, you don't want people to know your addresses, so that they wouldn't know how much money you have received on it. Afterall, you don't publish your bank statement on your Twitter page.

What you need is a way to send the address that can't be linked to you.  I have a way you can do this so that

- the recipient of your address (someone who is supposed to pay you) will get exactly your address, rather than an impostor's address
- there will be no trace on the internet of the address, so that an adversary can't figure out that it's yours.


You can just create a new address, which you never used before.

It will have zero balance and no past transactions.


Why can't you  just mail him your public address newly generated? What is the advantage that your service offer over this solution?

If you are very paranoid you can just encrypt a file with your address inside and give him the password. No need for investors
9726  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I recover my fund wity seeds, if I encrypted and backup my wallet previously on: July 31, 2019, 03:03:14 AM
Which wallet are you using?

 seed is everything you need to recover your funds on most wallets.

Just note it down on a piece of paper and recover itusign the same wallet software or another one if they both use bip39 seed..

If you are using some other wallet that generate a wallet file and you encrypt that file, you need to know the password to decrypt it.

I strongly suggest that you use Electrum.org wallet or some other wallet that supports bip39 seed, because it is much simpler to back up and recover it than dealing with files and encryption (in my opinion)
9727  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Blockchain.com launches their own exchange - 'The Pit' on: July 31, 2019, 12:41:08 AM

What are the odds they never implement Segwit and never batch on Roger's orders

This is the biggest problem supporting bch , not supporting segwit... This ridiculous drama between BTC and bch should be over already.

However, I believe this will be more positive than negative for the ecosystem.
Blockchain.info wallet was a great deal when I bought my first 0.1 BTC (when it wasn't worth much). It was easy to use, allowed me to have my private keys(so I learned a little very fast).. nice UI.

We still lack good exchanges. Kyc is not that big deal if the exchange is reliable. Who can't buy stocks without ky, for example.

I agree we shouldn't give our documents to any website, and I don't know if this one can be trusted or not. But
, investors need to do kyc to use fiat , we can't run away from that. And that's not a problem if they are not selling our docs to shitful icos or shady websites.
9728  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Useless altcoins must remove from the whole crypto market on: July 31, 2019, 12:06:12 AM
And who will decide which coin is a shitcoin and which one is not?

Having a central authority to decide that is against all cryptocurrency fundamentals.
Let the market decide. They will die in time, as some newbies...
9729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Multiple addresses on multiple coins on: July 31, 2019, 12:02:56 AM
To complement Heretik answer.

I think you can play by yourself in this website, and you will see how  HD wallets works. It is a very illustrative exercise.
https://www.iancoleman.io/bip39

Insert a seed there. Then you choose the coin you want. You will see that many public address and privatekeys were generated from that seed.

Now go and choose another coin.
You can also play with derivation path (segwit/legacy for example)s and account numbers (for different users )

You will soon realize that the same sed can generate almost unlimited addresses for each coin  (unlimited to our limited perspective as humans, but there are only a few billions per seed).

It can be a good idea to turn your sig payments into investments instead of withdrawing them each week, you'll save on withdrawing fees and will very likely make some profit in the long run. I think it's well worth the risk.

Thanks again. I am already on the risk, as I accumulate each month before withdrawals. I am only losing the profit. It is small, but everything counts.
9731  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔶 YOLOdice.com 🔶 - fast and fair dice game - BTC LTC ETH DOGE on: July 30, 2019, 10:31:01 PM
I started investing shortly after I joined the signature campaign, so it's been around 2.5 years, I guess. I usually kept 0.1 BTC invested with x10 leverage, sometimes a bit more, sometimes less, but most of the time it was 0.1 BTC. My total profit from investing is 0.0333 BTC right now, so, it's around 13.2% yearly ROI. If you want more precise data, you can look at the investor stats and do some math.

I've been investing in other casinos, and return from YOLOdice are much higher compared to them.

Thanks for the fast response. That's a good return.
One more question.

Can I withdrawal anytime I want? Can I click invest now, and remove in one week ?


One issue with investing to consider is this...

How long do you plan on leaving your coins on the investment account.

Because due to bad luck, right after you invest the site could be operating at a loss where the gamblers are winning. However since its a casino with a house edge, eventually they will be in profit. However this could take time.

You are right. But as I receive money there everyweek, and I don't withdrawal every week, I have an interesting opportunity to invest.
I could invest my earnings of 3-4 weeks , withdrawal and start again the next month .

Looks like the wagering is really picking up again even though BTC price is not so healthy right now (short term of course I mean).

Us investors also took in quite a good amount on the weekend, I had one recent one in the red which is now back to profits. 0.007% ROI at 10x leverage,,, small but any profit is good profit!

Hello.

I was thinking about investing in yolodice. But the FAQ is too complex , and I would like to hear from investors.
Did you receive 0.007% in a good weekend?

Tell me, if I let in yolodice something like 0.01 BTC, 10% leverage, how much will I have in a month? Considering past performance, ofc.

I know it's not precise,but 1%, 10%, 0.0001%? I just want to have an idea of how much it is profitable. Thanks.
9733  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me to understand bitcoin mixing on: July 30, 2019, 09:47:50 PM
The video you're talking was about Coinjoin, he was talking about tainted coins and explained how people can avoid the problem by adding "hops". To make it short, you need to make 12 new transactions (less can be enough (3-4) to fool newbie/medium blockchain analysts) similar to what "Ricochet" from Samourai wallet does.

Thanks. It was really that video. I thought it was, but I wasn't sure. That's a nice video. in this case the 12 transactions and tainted coins could fool some exchange or whatever.

He suggested in the videor that you could do 12 internal transactions inside your own wallet to fool those exchanges that say your coins are tainted because they were mixed.

But a deeper investigation on someone tracking you wouldn't work. Someone from government looking for someone avoiding taxes for example... They could look at the mixing and try to find your original addresses leading to an exchange with kyc for example.
9734  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Criticisms of the Lightning Network on: July 30, 2019, 09:43:10 PM

I believe every wallet, lightning or not, should let you decide which fee to use.i would use 1 sat byte to close the channel, and waiting 5 days would be ok to me.

This can be a problem. I know for a fact about one gal that custom set the fees on her greenaddress wallet and waited like a week to see her transaction get the first confirmation. Something like that can happen on the LN too.

I think there should be a noob friend, fire and forget kinda solution for LN.

It's not a matter of being noob friendly or not. There was no option to set fees for closing channels. There was only one option to close friendly or unfriendly (something like that, dispute or not dispute, don't remember). I choose the one with lower fees , but even so fees were not customizable.

O believe every wallet should let users customize their fees, on sat/byte.
Because this would really lead to lower fees in general, everyone would look for lower fees unless absolutely necessary.
Free market would really work better.

For now most users just use "priority" or "standard" or whatever navme the wallet choose, but that really doesn't let you control the fees.
9735  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Criticisms of the Lightning Network on: July 30, 2019, 03:30:58 PM
.
I am not sure about c-lightning, but LND allows users to set the closing transaction fee through --sat_per_byte parameter. Even if the implementation supports a certain feature, clients also have to implement it. What was the recommended transaction fee at the time? @LoyceV pointed out that Eclair Mobile overcharges for the closing transaction depending on the mempool state.

The fees were high at the time (like 40 sat).
But I opened the channel with very low fee. I didn't thought that eclair would just use a "recommended fee" (I hate this idea) to close it. It costed me about 0.0004 BTC to close it.

I believe every wallet, lightning or not, should let you decide which fee to use.i would use 1 sat byte to close the channel, and waiting 5 days would be ok to me.
9736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Signature Campaign and Bounties - BELIEVE COIN on: July 30, 2019, 03:03:56 PM
Just because the OP was already listed on exchange site doesn't make better than most bounties we have in the altcoin session for the coin utility, trade volume and concept will determine it was indeed better. However, I will advice the OP to use two payment option i.e their coin and BTC.

How can a coin not even listed in exchanges have a trade volume? It may never been listed in an exchange, ever.
Coin utility isn't a warranty also, because a project may be amazing but never accomplished.

If the coin is already listed,  you can analyze the project more clearly.
You also know how much it is worth.

However I agree with you, 0.02 BTC volume is ridiculous.

- Minimum fees, BTC: 0.00025, DOGE: 1, LTC:0.001, ETH: 0.001;

Hello

Just a question. You said you have no commission. But , why do you charge a minimum fee?

Why don't you let users define the fee they want to pay? It is better for everyone, to let the free market define the fees.

Also, if the necessary fee is lower than 0.00025 BTC, you are enforcing users to pay a higher fee, or is it an invisible commission?


And 0.00025 is a very high fee if you ask me.

Do you let users have their privatekeys, or is this a custodial service?
9738  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Criticisms of the Lightning Network on: July 30, 2019, 11:18:39 AM
I used lightning network once, and I have some critics about it.

The fees to topen/close channels were higher than I expected, and they were also not transparent.
I set a low fee (like 3 sat byte) but later on when closing the channel I was charged high fees, and I don't know where they came from. I couldn't set them also.
I was using Éclair wallet and had no problems with the software (ui seed etc, all fine)

Hello.
First of all, this should be moved to beginners and help session.


About your question.
It depends on the  kind of wallet you are using.

A  hardware wallet cannot be hacked, theoretically, because your keys is stored offline (in a piece of paper, how can someone hack a paper?)

But if if you have a web/online wallet, then your funds can be accessed and hacked just like an email (for example, blockchain.info). Those are the most insecure wallets, and if you are hacked that's over. No way to recover.

There are also desktop/mobile wallets , such as electrum.org , which are app and programs that runs in your device. They are more secure, but if hacked (if your computer or phone is compromised) it's over also.
9740  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Updating from Electrum 3.3.6 to 3.3.8 on: July 30, 2019, 11:04:50 AM
Additionally to what others have said.
It doesn't matter which one you download (I prefer standalone because it is cleaner).
And you don't have to enter your seed again. Be careful and always double check everything because entering your seed (most of phishing asks your seed)
