If you just want to look at Bitcoin addresses, why not use a Tor window in the Brave browser.
I dont want to install tor on my phone for security reasons.
I didn't find a tor program for android that I believe so much to install it on my phone (open source with deep history).

using VPN will be the best option, to make it safe, paid VPN like ExpressVPN are better,
This is a little bit overkill for me. I only want to watch (not mine) bitcoin addresses on a public wifi (when bored) and I do not want the guy behind the wifi router to see what addressess I am looking at.

But your link lead to a link and that lead to a link and that lead to this source code
Code:
   private static final ArrayList<BlockExplorer> prodnetExplorerClearEndpoints = new ArrayList<BlockExplorer>() {{
      add(new BlockExplorer("BCI", "blockchain.info", "https://blockchain.info/address/", "https://blockchain.info/tx/", "https://blockchainbdgpzk.onion/address/", "https://blockchainbdgpzk.onion/tx/"));
      add(new BlockExplorer("SBT", "smartbit", "https://www.smartbit.com.au/address/", "https://www.smartbit.com.au/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BTL", "blockTrail", "https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/", "https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BPY", "BitPay", "https://insight.bitpay.com/address/", "https://insight.bitpay.com/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BEX", "blockExplorer", "http://blockexplorer.com/address/", "http://blockexplorer.com/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BAC", "bitAccess", "https://search.bitaccess.ca/address/", "https://search.bitaccess.ca/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BCY", "blockCypher", "https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/address/", "https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BES", "bitEasy", "https://www.biteasy.com/blockchain/addresses/", "https://www.biteasy.com/blockchain/transactions/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("CPM", "coinprism", "https://www.coinprism.info/address/", "https://www.coinprism.info/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("TBC", "TradeBlock", "https://tradeblock.com/blockchain/address/", "https://tradeblock.com/blockchain/tx/", null, null));
      add(new BlockExplorer("BLC", "blockonomics.co", "https://www.blockonomics.co/#/search?q=", "https://www.blockonomics.co/api/tx?txid=", null, null));
   }};
It seems that blockexplorer uses HTTP only, other block explorers use HTTPS. This is probably that "some encrypted some unencrypted" thing about the Electrum wallet and I suppose that this would be the case for all the programs unless they avoid blockeplorer what they definitely should.


using free VPN can create more risks than you can possibly think.
But a free VPN and a pain VPN from the same company is about the same risk, is not it?

Hi, which light bitcoin wallets use encrypted connection to the network? I am on a public network and do not want the ISP to see what bitcoin addresses I look at. I do not have the space required to run a full nod so I need a light wallet (windows or android).

So far I have found this (please confirm if true):

- Android Mycelium NOT encrypted connection to their servers
- Android Electrum has encrypted connection to their servers but some connections are unencrypted (not sure what that means)

The crypto market is profit driven. The loyalty is directly proportional to the potential profit a coin can generate. So bitcoin is no exception here. I am a long time holder of bitcoin. I didn't sell off my holdings when the price was at 21k. I am not ready to sell of my holdings today as well. Because I belive there is potential.

The moment I stop believing that the potential is not anymore present in bitcoin. I will loose my interest in holding and sell of my reserve. So when someone says they are loyal to bitcoin not because of the potential profit but for the technology, I laugh silently. Till the time potential for profit is there, people will love even the technology. The moment all potential is gone, people will not think twice before dumping it. That's how the world crypto economy works.
I very disagree. Most people have notes in their purses. The notes lose their value every second. Why do not they sell their notes till it hase some value? Because they like the technology (instant fee less payment).

Those loving economy - bitcoin price (without speculation) would = T / (M * V).
That is index of real expenditures / (total nominal amount of money supply in circulation * velocity of money).

If your walllet doesnt use SSL then your ISP knows it's yours and thus can inform your government.

He/she is a naysayer but what am worried is that people on this very forum will see what he has written and will then proceed to sell their Bitcoins and cause the currency to plunge.
What causes bitcoin to plunge are analyses openly based on fear of falling price of bitcoin. Half the opinions are openly written for the purpose of people convincing to invest in bitcoin and as such are worthless.

You fool some-one everytime but you can fool everyone only once. Stop playing the pump scheme and start analyzing the real value of bitcoin - then you can really decide wheather to sell of buy right now. Because no matter what the price the discussions are full of "buy hold" and that cant be true. Sometimes its time to sell shares sometimes its time to buy and when some people only buy no matter what then its too obvious the advice is totally worthless.

9  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Bitcoin Price Going Down? on: May 18, 2018, 02:24:51 AM
I think there are some big investors who do not want people to make money from bitcoin. They manipulate the market and make such decisions that only favor them and not the public. This is the main reason for falling of price. it is not only in bitcoin but in all sectors of life. Big pigs will never let you earn money while they are there in the market.
Well it's the other way. Lately a big investor from china announced he had just finished investing in bitcoin big chunk. The announcent was in a way that he had nothing at the beginning of the year but started buying as the price falled and now he is done. So he caused big demand support for the bitcoin. And there were probably other big money that noticed bitcoin last year and didn't want to buy it overpriced (no matter what is real price of bitcoin it is not over 10 000 ATM).

So the price was hyped, then falled when old money cashed profit, then big money moved in, and now it depends. Get out the tinfoil hat.
