A few bits from Telegram DLX today: On the value of maintaining good wallet and account security discipline: https://www.wired.com/story/enigma-ico-ethereum-heist/ Though honest mistakes can happen at any growing organization, the Enigma community grappled with the implications of the incident on Monday, wondering how a specialized cryptography company could only now be realizing the need for stringent account hygiene.And lastly, |

Latest from DLX on Telegram: I'm preparing to move my small business into deeper crypto territory. Incoming funds converted to cryptocurrency, bills paid via https://www.livingroomofsatoshi.com, books updated to reflect income stream as rising market in coming months will mean greater value for my dollar overall, dips notwithstanding. Dash Jumps to New All Time High on News of Arizona State University Partnership, Reaches Fifth Place in Market Cap https://cointelegraph.com/news/dash-jumps-to-new-all-time-high-on-news-of-arizona-state-university-partnership-reaches-fifth-place-in-market-capNot directly the point of the article but this Q&A was expressed with clarity: CT: Many are saying that crypto is in a bubble that's due to pop, and others believe that this is actually the beginning of a multi-year bull market. Still others think that this is the very beginning of mass adoption. Where do you stand?
JV: With all three, as unhelpful as that answer may be. Much cryptocurrency valuation is based on projects which have yet to (and may never) deliver a viable product to end users, and that can certainly be called a bubble. As far as investments are concerned, we are very likely in the beginning of a multi-year bull market as investors around the world are waking up to viability of digital assets. As far as mass adoption is concerned, I would say we are not even at the beginning, not even close. Bitcoin's network congestion hit the pause button on adoption, possibly setting it back years. Dash is taking a good stab at mass market adoption with the upcoming Evolution update...Dash-centric answer but still, interesting. |

A few links and points of interest from yesterday and today on the DLX Telegram discussion: Just How Anonymous are Bitcoin Transactions? https://cointelegraph.com/news/just-how-anonymous-are-bitcoin-transactionsNot useful to anyone reading this here probably, but a good 'bit sec 101' for new users, perhaps. "Some of the recommended strategies are using Bitcoin services that ensure the Bitcoin users will remain anonymous during and after the transactions, utilizing a virtual private network (free or paid), and using a new address for every transaction." |

I know there's a lot of people that want to buy IOTA but just don't trust Bitfinex because of the exchange hack last year..
There's nothing stopping them, you, me or anyone else here from trading right here in the forums, or on a Google Sheets shared-access spreadsheet, or wherever else. If an exchange is a problem, you can always thread one yourself with 10 or 20 interested others. For example, we've done it with UNO in 2014 with 30-ish users and it worked perfectly, at a small scale. Obvs, this is for the exchange of bulk packets of coins and clearly is not for day trading type transactions, but the point is, no coin needs to be limited by whichever exchanges support it (notwithstanding the obvious factor of market depth and trading volume being necessary for any coin's longterm health). If there are a lot of people you know who want to buy IOTA, surely some sellers could be found even by offering x BTC for y mIOTA right here in the forums. Just a thought  |

Big thanks to Learminer for his help here and in Telegram! For anyone else in future, he put me onto this git repository: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bs58check (and suggested I download the github repo, make a new file (e.g. app.js) and then simply include the demo code from the github page). ...it appears my private key is stored in unencrypted Base58 format (58 character private key, starts with '6') and I need to convert it to Bitcoin-qt format.
Hi, Please try to import the private key in Electrum_uno. It seems to usually do a good job picking the correct format... Also, what is the first character of the string of the private key? Don't post more than the first character obviously.And my sincere thanks for checking in with this gem, cryptapus, I really appreciate it! I'd forgotten about Electrum_uno. It's been awhile since I've been in a crypto mindset. I'll absolutely give this a go if Learminer's method falls through (I've already made headway on that one, though won't get to finishing the process until I'm back at a computer later today. Big work weekend here! Thanks again EDIT: cryptapus, THANK YOU!! I just did it by Sweeping the wallet and pasting its public key in the Address box and putting the private key in hexadecimal format in the Private Key box (after simply pasting it in base58 format didn't work) and FINALLY, I'm staring at the balance in the wallet! YES!!  Thanks again guys. EDIT 2: cryptapus, I can see the two transactions but the wallet is in 'watching mode': ... How would I get this to an active mode so I can send the UNO to another address? I tried finding my way with the console but I'm struggling a bit, here. Thanks for any advice you can offer here. -C. Ah, I think you probably imported your public key.... Try to create a new wallet and import the string of digits that begins with "6", I think that's your private key in base64 format. If that fails, go to the paperwallet generator and click on the "Wallet Details" tab. Then enter the "6" string in the box and "View Details". You can there get the private key in base58 WIF format (either compressed or not will work) that can be imported in either Qt or electrum. Edit: you can tell if it's base64 format if it has any of these characters: "/+=O0I" Base58 is missing them and is used for WIF since these can be mistaken when writing them by hand. Heh, thank you I feel silly! Will give that a spin soon as I can this afternoon. Ta! |

Hi all, it's been a while but I'm still around. Today I come to you in need of a little help! I have 149kg in a Cryptapus paper wallet from Dec 2014 that I'd like to import. I'm having a problem importing the private key to my updated and current UNO Bluechist wallet, which itself holds more UNO correctly and without error. Someone else had this problem in 2015: When trying to import a private key in Bitcoin core v0.10.0rc1 I'm getting: Invalid private key encoding (code -5)Address was generated at Blockchain.info. I'm trying to import the address with: importprivkey yourPrivateKeyInWalletImportFormat "TheLabelThatIWant" As described here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_v7%2BBlazr came to the rescue... I have two keys to import, one starts with 'D' the other with 'C', same error with both.
Your private keys aren't in Wallet Import Format, they are base58 which doesn't work with Bitcoin Core. On blockchain.info, go to import/export > export unencrypted and on the dropdown "select private key format" select "Bitcoin-Qt Format". They should begin with 5, K or L. I have no idea why blockchain.info uses base58 as the default format, they really should change that to WIF. Almost no clients use base58. Like the OP there, it appears my private key is stored in unencrypted Base58 format (58 character private key, starts with '6') and I need to convert it to Bitcoin-qt format. Blazr's advice to the other poster seems to be just what I need to do - however, it appears Blockchain.info has now removed the Export tool from their wallet. Is there anywhere else I can get my paper wallet address into the right format? Sincere thanks for anything you can suggest! -Craig ps. cryptocointalk looks great! easy on the eyes |

Happy 2nd birthday to Uno. Congrats.
I have the following domain names for sale
ALT.MARKET - $750 or best offer
UNO.MARKET - $500 or best offer
or $1000 for both Shameful behaviour, mate. GoDaddy charges $57.99 for one yearly .market domain name and a second for +$18/yr. You're squatting opportunistically. Go do something useful that contributes to the community rather than trying to rip it off. @Runtime ... I'd rather look at this in a positive light. They are good names. There is some potential there. Join the UNO community. Build up some street credit. Then maybe something can happen that benefits us all. Jets cooled. Welcome mode on. You're wise and correct in this approach, BN. However, I note that various other very relevant *.market domain names are still available for prices as named ($58/yr) and that domain name squatting is a practice that rustles my jimmies, but this isn't a complete loss of a situation. There's always room for a change of heart and the resetting of goals from short term profit to longer-term community mindedness. We're stronger and better together! |

Who were we talking about getting invited to Consensus? 'Blazr2' has not posted in this thread for 11 months...Where is that quote from IMZ? I can't find it anywhere else.
Edit: The quote appeared with Google, just not Bing. I use Bing for those rewards points but it does seem inferior when you're looking for obscure stuff.
His post is here, followed by several of us discussing/supporting it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=527500.msg11975846#msg11975846 |

@IMZ: I'd also be pretty interested in buying a little bit of silver from you from an Australian mint in UNO. It doesn't have to be sealed or anything, in fact, it'd be cooler to buy Australian silver from you and it'd be something I keep and can say I bought from Australia with the power of Unobtanium! I'm willing to escrow with anyone trusted, I just want to start getting some kind of trade rep around here with the crew.
Edited to say: I wasn't a member here during the guild startup, I loosely would read some of the things said, but if anyone would be so kind as to give me a run down and whether you guys are still doing anything with the guild. I know there are threads about it, but i find myself looking through tons of pages and gleaning very little...
Gday RDDRocket, you can find several Aussies on intergalacticplatypus, click through to forums. I've traded silver for UNO with IMZ several times, along with UNO for business services and products. It'd be great to chat with you anytime Cheers. |

As I read it, it sounds like HC is already on the way, either as an invitee (ie. $0) or as a Super Early Bird (USD$499 or other discounted amount) thanks to his speaking there. Travel and lodging is what our help will go toward, so every bit will help but it sounds like he's going anyway. A good thing! |

I have been invited to attend Consensus 2015 in September in New York City and speak about Un and its relationship with Merged Mining--it could do Un some good to get some more main-stream exposure. I've already sold a bit of Un to pay for the registration fees but the price of lodging and travel is fairly high from my side of the US to New York and I am looking to raise a bit more to book a flight and hotel.
Humbly asking for small donations for travel and lodging:
BTC: 1A6x5iD4TzhpgMKZax1HoPMFaiYN3CRz1x
Un: ua34uXkgbJA4iYRBTwyuQ39DUDdykLvnCK
Please note these are fresh addresses for the purposes of keeping things clean in my wallets--any proceeds gathered will be used solely for this trip! If anyone is interested in meeting up in NYC, attending Consensus 2015, and championing the Un train with me, maybe we can do something like that!
+5 coming your way (I also have sent as many as I can afford, holding a shade over 200kg personally). That's exciting! Hope you have an excellent trip |
