So obvious that whatsapp is only coming up with encryption because other really encrypted app provide better security.

I would not trust them. Knowing that all the pictures sent are stored on their servers. Surely that won't change.

Miete ist ja momentan so ziemlich der größte Brocken in den Ausgaben der Menschen.

Das ist noch der kleinste Posten.

Der größte Posten sind Unterhaltszahlungen. Der Mensch will sich vermehren! Würde mein Überschwang nicht durch die Unterhaltspflicht gebremst, hätte ich schon 5000 Kinder und es gäbe keinen Fachkräftemangel! Grin


*lach* Ja ich kann mir vorstellen dass das heftig zuschlägt. Allerdings vermute ich dass Unterhaltszahlungen doch bei den meisten Menschen eher selten der größte Posten ist. Zeugt aber immerhin von einem guten Einkommen bei dir. Tongue

The issuer wanted to send on friday and today we have a small div again. 150% of the last one. I will see what the issuer says about the height of the div, I mean regarding the last months that went by and future monthly divs.

Via XCP?

Please STOP unsing Cryptostocks. The BTC on there is LOST since you cannot withdraw them. The withdrawal E-Mails are deactivated.

Yes of course via XCP. The issuer is pleased to have this solution now where he can send the bitcoins to the shareholders. And it means less stress to us pushing him.

I'm not sure if there is a way to take out the bitcoins from cryptostock from accounts that have email confirmation enabled.

Hey, anyone knows if Purse.io also can give lower fees/price for shipping price?
Save 10-25% on Amazon wishlist is looks great, but i found place where i can get amazon gift card with 20% discount.

If they can offer lower shipping price to Asia, i'll think to use this service.
Also, Is "Order Total" really what should i pay? No shipping fee to my address or other fees and should i add shipping cost by myself?

It's not that purse can offer that. You have to put the shipping costs and fees in the wishlist you add in purse. You can try to include smaller shipping costs but at the end it all depends on the user that buys your order. Purse doesn't decide anything there.

886  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcointalk Escrows - Trade Safely! on: April 05, 2016, 10:38:51 PM
There aren't many trusted escrows left. I think only 3 or 4 that I can remember last time that I checked when I was looking for one to do a free escrow of funds for me.
Are the paid ones any better to trust with your deals and funds? After the last big one that was witnessed a month ago, I know many are questioning who can be really trusted with a very large escrow amount.

Which is why I'm suggesting people at least consider my suggested method using Part Public Key of the recipient - the Escrow doesn't have any control over the coins (by way of withdrawal) only the intended.

Wouldn't that somewhat kill the purpose of the escrow or how can he negotiate in case of a dispute.

Besides that... creating vanity addresses and building addresse with part keys might be some level of experience that not many traders can follow.

Ich denke in Ostdeutschland ist die Wohnsituation an vielen Orten immer noch so dass die Mieten sehr niedrig sind weil junge Leute einfach nach Westdeutschland ziehen wegen der Arbeitssituation. Manche Wohnungen werden auch kostenlos vergeben wenn die Mieter dafür sorgen dass die Wohnungen erhalten bleiben. Muss nicht wirklich spassig sein dort Vermieter zu sein. Smiley

Allerdings könnte jemand der sein Geld online verdient, also nicht an einen Ort gebunden ist, schon darüber nachdenken. Miete ist ja momentan so ziemlich der größte Brocken in den Ausgaben der Menschen.
888  Local / Off-Topic (Deutsch) / Re: Spiegel:Bundesjustizminister will zwingende lebenslange Haft für Mord abschaffen on: April 05, 2016, 10:12:41 PM
Ich sehe schon dass es Sinn macht dass ein Mörder zahlt. Allerdings stellt man sich da vor dass es jemand ist der reumütig ist und dann auch 100k von seinem Lohn abdrücken will weil er sich schuldig fühlt. Sicher, bei manchen könnte man sich fragen ob das funktionieren würde.

Nur... wie viel muss er abgeben? So viel dass der Druck unerträglich wird? Mehr als Alg2 Niveau für ihn am Ende? Das würde sich wie permanente Unterdrückung anfühlen. Also was tun? Fußfesseln damit er nicht abhaut? Wer will ihn beschäftigen? Soweit ich weiß arbeiten die Leute im Knast eher auf dem Preisniveau von Behindertenwerkstätten. Also wenig Geld... sehr wenig.

Ich schätze einfach dass die Folgen einfach absolut unabsehbar sind. Der Vorstandschef bringt jemand um... kein Problem, in ein paar Jahren hat er seine paar 100T abgedrückt. Stört ihn nicht mal bei seinem Verdienst. Praktisch legalisierter Mord. Oder maximal ein paar Jahre?

Oh ich weiß nicht. Den Mordparagraphen sollte man sicher bearbeiten. Aber das Einsperren ist für mich weniger Strafe als Schutz der Gesellschaft und das sollte natürlich mit Beobachtung passieren. Ich vermute einfach mal dass die Wenigsten sich dafür interessieren würde sich quasi zum Profimörder im Knast weiterbilden zu lassen.

Killed muslims in christian countries are more than killed christians in islam countries if we don't count war. If we count war, then comes a new question that "what they had there?"
Islam also has corrupted sects like Vahabi, Selefi. They don't accept others as real muslims and they are more near to terror and therefore easy to use them for imperial purposes. Christianity also has those kind sects like Evangelists, isn't it? They have an idea to help Jesus Arrival. When Jesus will come? When world falls in chaos and blood. So we need to put the world in war, chaos and blood for helping Jesus Arrival
Christians and muslims have one difference; Muslim terrorists are ignorant but mostly christians are wise.
Actually both of religion's members are used by materialist power. You may call them Illuminati, You may call them Global financial monsters.... Whatever if you call them they are managing everything on world. They aren't atheists but worse of being atheist. They are satanist

I think if the reason behind killing is religion then there is something really faulty. That goes for all religions, suicide sects and other things like that.

I know christians were quite murderous in the religious wars in the middle age, muslim countries were developed farther then christian ones. Now we have some kind of opposite direction.

I don't think that the US fights as christians. George Bush only used this "God told me to attack the iraq" as a stupid reason, maybe he could draw in some radical christions.

And yes, there are powers, mostly out for money and power, that try to use local groups and such to reach their targets.

I doubt though that ISIS is somehow guided by another power. I think they are independent.

Pets aren't just about the responsibilities. They are your friends(but they are like my family TBH). Treat them well, and they will treat you back as a family. I have two cats and a dog, and they treat me much better than my human friends IMHO. Well, IMO, that is because they were treated by me like a hooman. LOL.

That is true for you gladly. But you should know quite well what fills up the animal shelters. It is because people are different than you. Many dogs are left alone on the speed track or other places shortly after christmas. People simply have no image of what it means to have a dog. They lose interest, they did not think things through and would like to abandon it like a toy.

Since you are a friend of animals I would have awaited you see the signs or risk the OP is spreading in his post. You surely want that the dog gets a good home. And OP does not sound really suited yet.

Well I might be wrong and she only wrote things the wrong way.

Was meinst du mit  Mnemonic Code?
Man kann immer den gleichen master-public-key benutzen. Somit muss man sich auch nur einen seed "merken".
Soweit ich das verstanden habe

Der Mnemonic Code ist die Folge von Wörtern die Electrum als Seed benutzt. Mit dem Seed sind normale Electrumwallets dann deterministisch und wenn das beim Public Key eines Electrum Multisig wallets auch wirkt dann ist das gut. Ich dachte bisher es wäre mit Electrum nicht möglich den gleichen pubkey noch mal zu benutzen da man den bei der Erstellung ja nicht verändern kann. Hätte auch gleich an den Seed denken können. Cheesy



mezzomix


Das ist bei Electrum kein Problem da alle drei Beteiligten alle drei Pubkeys haben und bekommen. Die daraus erzeugten Adressen sind in allen drei Wallets dann gleich. Damit ist klar dass die Adresse stimmt.

Ok, and didn't some core dev lately switch to work for a bank?
Even if they did, it doesn't matter. Core consists out of a lot of contributors, employed by various companies.

Well, you really are onesided. The thing you claim an error on the classic side is... of course, fully normal on the core side.

Besides that, one could see a conspiracy theory behind lightning network and the negation of a raise of the blocksize too. Since what will happen when a minimum transaction will cost $1, $10 or more at one time? I mean LN plans to make bitcon the settlement layer for LN. Which makes companies will decide the fees to be paid in the bitcoin network. The more transactions can be put into one single bitcoin transaction the higher the value of the bitcoin transaction and the higher the fees on the bitcoin network can rise.
This is just hyperbolic, fear-inducing, speculation. The thinking behind this is flawed. Why would anyone even consider using Bitcoin if a transaction costs $10 (i.e. when there are much cheaper options)? The Lightning Network is a amazing 'feat' when it comes to scaling Bitcoin. There is no mainstream adoption without it (or some other, yet to be discovered, features), regardless of whether you want to believe this or not. Bitcoin is not efficient and can not process a lot of transactions on the main chain unless you harm its decentralization.

And you spoke about the importance of having to refer to worst case scenarious. It amazes me more and more how onesided you can watch at things. Cheesy

You even seem to advertise LN again only after pushing away potential future risks as hyperbolic and so on. Well, it seems I will stop answering you in this thread too. It simply leads to nothing.

Which means it won't take long until we see offers like offers from a bank offering to buy bitcoins directly in the lightning network. Only pushing bitcoins around on there, using a service connected to lightning network.
Baseless propaganda. May I ask who slipped this nonsense into your mind?

Cheesy What did I say? I'm amazed.

Anyway... you are a true believer and being that it is as hard as with discussing with islamists, hardcore christians or antigermans.

Good luck again...

Coinbase probably can't make money with the frozen accounts. That would be outright theft and they would face lawsuits. Or is the problem that US customers can't sue them because they would have to admit that they gambled on illegal websites?
To most people, especially foreign customers, the cost of a lawsuit will be far higher than the amount which Coinbase confiscated.

So they really keep it? They don't hold it as escrow? Well, that is a unique business model when the money is not given to authorities or something. I did not know that company is on such a low level.

Well, coinbase is creating two transactions per withdraw. I don't really see the need for the second one yet but to assume that they do this to raise the blocksize sounds a bit far fetched. They would have no advantage.
You are getting there!  Raising the block size limit has no real value for Coinbase.  Coinbase can easily make a lot more room in the blocks by e.g. batching withdrawals in one transaction a minute or so, like almost everyone else.  What Coinbase want is control over Bitcoin.  If they are able to force through a hard fork, they have succeeded in both taking control over Bitcoin.  They will have the power to stop improvements they don't like, e.g. confidential transactions which depend on segwit.

But how high is the amount of transactions per block in average that belongs to coinbase? Is it a really big chunk at all? Well, sure they could change it and it might be true that classic developers would do what they want when they pay them. Though corruption like that could easily happen on the core side too, I think. The community would stand against though, I guess.

I'm not sure but I think the usefullness of segwit is accepted more and more. I mean segwit will have a positive effect all the time, even when blocks are higher. Segwit is able to raise the blocksize space on an prozentual level. Which is worth much and way far in the future. Well, of course segwit has to show that the predictions of it's usefullness is true. There are opinions that the target levels are way overexxagerated. At least segwit will come too slow to prevent the blocks being full. Adoption will probably happen too slow.

You mention that segwit makes blockchain analysis way harder. How can that be? All the details about every transaction still would be available to everyone wanting to do a blockchain analysis. Or what do you refer to?
With segwit the malleability problem is solved.  This means people can move their transactions to side-chains, payment channels, lightning, etc.  Many individual transactions will then be hidden for people doing blockchain analysis.  They can see a coin was taken out by me at an ATM, then returned to the chain by a merchant six months later, but they have no idea where the coin has been in the meantime.  Same as cash.  Segwit makes confidential on-chain transactions possible as well, after a soft fork.  You can see that Alice moved a coin to Bob and Charlie, but you can't see how much went to Bob and how much went to Charlie, or how much Alice kept as change.

Hm, that certainly is an advantage though I thought that is already possible now. I did not realize till now that no sidechains exist yet. I thought it should be no problem since there are altcoins that are bound to the bitcoins blockchain security so holding bitcoins in escrow and releasing them to another user after the altcoins were moved did not sound impossible to me. Guess I was wrong then.

Gavin Andresen works for Coinbase.
Ok, and didn't some core dev lately switch to work for a bank?
Mike Hearn?  He hardly contributed anything.  Even less than Gavin did the past couple of years.

Hearn was someone who should have gone since a long time. His intentions did not look pure when one saw what he wanted to implement. I already got the idea he might work for an agency because of his stupid suggestions. Disabling tor, I think tainting coins was from him too.

Anyway, he was not the best example and when Andresen works for coinbase then I see the conflict of interest you refer to.

Well, we might see. If classic agrees to segwit then the theory could break. There should be no real reason against it except maybe gavin's ego. At the moment both sides look not fully convincing for me.

Besides that, one could see a conspiracy theory behind lightning network and the negation of a raise of the blocksize too. Since what will happen when a minimum transaction will cost $1, $10 or more at one time? I mean LN plans to make bitcon the settlement layer for LN. Which makes companies will decide the fees to be paid in the bitcoin network. The more transactions can be put into one single bitcoin transaction the higher the value of the bitcoin transaction and the higher the fees on the bitcoin network can rise.
People will use LN to get instant confirmation, not due to fees.  LN will benefit from larger blocks as well.  LN is free software, btw.  There is no company monopoly.  You have to explain how companies can decide the fees to be paid.  You mean miners are organizing in some way, and plan to decide a minimum fee?

I think if LN gets reality and really would be used a lot while 1mb blocks are still held then it would be obvious that the transactions on LN, merged into one big bitcoin transaction, could have a higher value. Paying $1 on the bitcoin network for one transaction would be expensive. Paying $2 on the bitcoin network for 10 transactions on LN would be cheap. But still those transactions will get the priority, they are more value for the miners and could, if the amount of those transactions rise, push out normal bitcoin users because their fees would be too low and the higher fees would be too expensive.

This only under the premise that the fees on the bitcoin blockchain will rise that high that business models come up that say "bitcoin fee too high? Buy and hold your bitcoins on LN only. Never deal with the bitcoin blockchain. And safe a lot of money." Which would mean we have a somewhat centralized service. Which might be used because it is cheap and could be safer than nowadays exchanges. This company could offer to send the bitcoins anywhere you want. Through payment channels to known services and sites or to other users using the same or a similar service. Transactions into the bitcoin network would still be expensive.

At the end this scenario would mean that the free and anonymous money would not be for the average or poor man. It would be too expensive. Instead we would have companies on LN that could not offer any anonymity. Which would be no problem for most users since they do not do anything wrong. Which sounds like a bank. And the free internet money was taken away from the average people. Free the people from the banks power would have been a failed attempt.

So what will happen once the fees rise very high with bitcoin? Nearly no normal user will be able to afford it. Which means it won't take long until we see offers like offers from a bank offering to buy bitcoins directly in the lightning network. Only pushing bitcoins around on there, using a service connected to lightning network.

I mean how does this sound? Like bitcoin being practically in the hand of corporations and bank like businesses? At least it sounds like the very opposite of the initial plan for bitcoin.
If you scale by increasing the block size to accommodate all spam, only corporations will be able to run full nodes.  It is putting Bitcoin in the hands of corporations and bank like businesses.  If you read Satoshi's paper and old postings, this was in fact the initial plan for bitcoin.  He thought that most people would be satisfied by a less secure SPV wallet.

But blocks were never as full as now. We did already raise the size of the blocks, not by changing the limit but because the amount of transactions grew. Iam not aware that we lost half of the nodes from the time where the blocks were only half as full until now.

There was a drop in full nodes. I think that might be normal after implementing the ability to host a normal node that does not store the full blockchain. People decided to safe on that point. If this development stops, then the blocksize is raised then another drop might happen. Though that would be only ideological since the blocks wouldn't be suddenly double that full. After that happened, when the average block size is double from now, then someone could say something about the effect on nodes.

Besides that. I think in the last years alot of bitcoiners left bitcoin. Disappointed about the price development. That might have lead to the node development too.

So there should be many things to consider.

If you enable sidechains and lightning instead, anyone can opt out of high fees and corporations by transacting on a sidechain.  It will still be bitcoin.  100% convertible between bitcoin and sidechains.  You can even have different rules for the sidechain, to enable e.g. free microtransactions.  You can even add decimals on the sidechain, as long as the transactions back to the Bitcoin blockchain are compliant.  Which means the extra decimals will only exist on the sidechain.

Yeah, I think when segwit enables sidechains then that would be a great thing. Besides having to run another wallet. But it still would mean freedom.

Besides, wouldn't there be explorers about the connection from bitcoin to sidechain address as well as explorer about the sidechain transactions? Those infos should all be public, isn't it?

And normal people can still have the security and privacy benefits of running a full node at home.
The fee will not increase more than people are willing to pay, of course.  When demand goes down, and the supply stays the same, price will go down as well.  The most fundamental of all economic theory.  If you agree with Satoshi's initial plan, you are free to transact on a sidechain controlled by a bank or corporation, but Bitcoin itself will be as uncontrollable as it is now.

The hope of satoshi was to complement block halving with rising fees and that should only be achieved by rising the amount of transactions, as far as I know. So something in the plan already went wrong then.

I agree with the sidechain, that's a good thing. But demand going down for bitcoin sound sad. Bitcoin becoming too expensive to use so that demand even drops is not a nice vision.

Lightning isn't one network.  You can have as many lightning networks as you want.  I assume most of them will be among people and businesses who transact often with each other.

Didn't know till now. I thought it will be a network that practically will eat bitcoin to use it as their backend database.

Well, let's see how usefull it will become.

Of course.  It is supported by the fact that the "Classic" nodes on Amazon seem to use a disproportional amount of my outgoing bandwidth, but that is not proof.  I have worked around the problem by throttling my outgoing bandwidth to "Classic" nodes to make my ADSL line usable again.
Hm, that sounds like a hint at least. Did you check if the traffic is something like "loading blocks to build a blockchain" or does it only look like the behaviour you described for fake nodes? Otherwise it might be that they only were sat up lately and tried to get up to date. Though I guess you already checked.
When you deploy a full node on Amazon, you will of course deploy it with the blockchain pre-loaded on disk to get it up quickly.  Still those nodes seem to ask for blocks quite often.  It makes sense if the nodes are downloading the blockchain, or if it is a request forwarded by a pseudonode.  I haven't done any deeper analysis.

Ok. Well, might be that uploading via disk would be the same for the vps's bandwith usage than downloading the blocks from the network. For the person installing it it would mean less work because the node would handle it on his own. Not using the installers home internet bandwith too.

The only other "fix" I know of is to impose a hard limit transaction size, which would take a hard fork to lift.  Considering the amount of noise the current hard fork attempt is making, why do you want to create reasons for more?  Segwit is a much better solution.  It allows for faster validation overall, and it doesn't add extra hard limits on transaction sizes.
Wasn't there a hard fork needed in the near future for classic too? Besides the soft fork for segwit?
Do you mean Core?  Yes, there is talk about a hard fork to fix a few things.  There is an old wishlist here.  I doubt it will be successful unless it is entirely non-controversial or adds really useful stuff like Schnorr signatures.  Schnorr signatures are a way of combining many signatures into one, taking up much less block space for transactions using multiple inputs.  Why doesn't "Classic" do that instead in their hard fork?  It would be a real benefit, like cheap dust swiping, cheaper coinjoin transactions, and is less controversial.  Ah, of course..  Coinbase doesn't like Coinjoin.  It makes their chain analysis harder.

You already got me doubting gavin. Cheesy I think bigger blocks surely is not every nice thing that could get implemented. If I would create an alternative then I would try to add as many usefull features as possible. Well, he might not want it because supporters fear segwit partly and such.

Besides that... a fork only on core would surely not bring such uproar like having to go against core. The uproar only comes from people disagreeing with the way the things are handled. A fork for a fix that is not needed yet would be useless of course now. But when other important things would have to be implemented anyway then implementing that fix would be nothing that would bring up trouble.
Since a hard fork will have to be deployed by 100% of users to be successful, I think it is obvious it won't happen as long as people disagree.

I meant past hard forks were no problem though maybe people now learnt to doubt everything what the core devs do. Cheesy

I have read your post a couple of times and looked in the thread it's from but I don't really see what it's for. What's the advantage I would want to ask but in fact I only see that the address would contain TL, so it might be coming from you.

I'm not certain what it is you're asking.

The 12067TL would take about 15 mins at 10MKeys/sec to reach 50% to generate a wallet with someone's Part Public Key where as 1TL2067 would take 8 hours at 10MKeys/sec to generate to the 50% benchmark.  As I also said in the post, it could as easily been

which have varying degrees of timing.  generating a distinct wallet was only a suggestion, possibly for cross checking later.

But what do you think of the concept for Escrow?

I feel dumb to say that but I really don't have a clue what it's purpose can be. Cheesy Or what can be reached with it. What the advantage against multisig would be, for example. The things to do sound similar time intensive like multisig. Three parties involved, all three parties have to do something. And would it cost something to mine for such vanity keys or is it practically free now?

Sorry Lauda but it doesn't work to discuss on that level. I come up with arguments and you answer with nothing more than "No, I'm right". No need to go into details since... you are right by default.

Good luck with that attitude.

Again you try to twist words.
Nope.

No, surely the fees that are paid now are NOT the result of a free market. It is the result of an artificial market shortage.
Isn't. There is adequate transaction capacity in the blocks right now.

Sure... the ominous skills that you gave in, don't own yourself too.
I need not show anything. You don't understand how algorithms work nor why the worst-case scenario is important. Nothing more needs to be said.

Even though they are only coder. And even many coders of that original team though differently. You simply chose a side and "believe" that they are right. Well, this is not a religion.
The fact that you are putting 'coders' into the same basket as engineers makes you look very uneducated. Please refrain from doing so.

Care to explain what you mean with that? As far as I know SPV mining is done on core chain too.
"SPV Mining is a bad idea." - Gavin. Now it is being implemented in Classic. Wink

You realize that bitcoin core has the past lead developer of bitcoin core on his side? Gavin Andresen.
He used to be good, as in past tense.

He still has the second most commits on core.
He doesn't.

Wenn der BIP32 Master Public Key die einzige Möglichkeit ist, in Electrum Multisig zu nutzen, dann halte ich Electrum als Lösung für Multisig-Escrow für ungeeignet. Man kann zwar für jeden Escrow Vorgang eine neue Wallet aufmachen, aber erstens ist das unnötig viel Aufwand und zweitens funktioniert dieser Mechanismus ausschliesslich in Electrum. Wenn es in Electrum keine anderen Möglichkeiten gibt, als in dieser Anleitung skizziert, dann wurde diese für einen anderen Anwendungszweck als Multisig-Escrow gebaut.


Also soweit wir geschaut hatten scheint Electrum wirklich trotzdem noch die Einfachste Möglichkeit zu sein weil da immer noch das Meiste automatisiert wird. Mehr als bei anderen Möglichkeiten die noch weniger für Noobs geeignet sind.

Aber hat jetzt schon mal jemand getestet ob man den Mnemonic Code dafür benutzen kann um den gleichen Pubkey wieder zu benutzen? Das wäre zumindest wichtig wenn man in Betracht ziehen würde Escrow auf automatisierten Seiten anzubieten. Die benutzen immer den selben Pubkey des Escrow.

Obwohl das natürlich immer wie ein Risiko klingt da man nie wirklich voll ausschließen kann dass der Webseitencode nicht irgendwann vom Besitzer oder einem Hacker geändert wird. Weshalb es Sinn machen würde jeden Deal manuell einzuleiten oder zumindest eine Warnung vor jedem Deal anzubieten.

breakouts are one of the most common techniques used in the market for trading. This technique is quite simply like identifying a key price level and then buying or selling as the price breaks that pre determined level.

How do you determine when a breakout is broken and not only tested? Which timeframe candle do you look at. And what resistance and support level types?

On the other hand... if someone doesn't know about that rule or this thread then he would feel treated very bad... or made to shut up. So it only might put on to sentiments about the moderation.
Not really. All that usually happens is that someone reports the thread and it gets moved.

Though that can't be done when someone is asking inside an otherwise legit thread. The post would be reported and deleted probably. Though maybe the moderator added a notice about why it was moved.
