Only terrorism? Usually to make something very unpopular the news stories include other horrible things like human trafficking, underage porn, and all the other things to turn your nose at. This will of course lead to further reasons to have strong KYC laws like the ones currently being encouraged for every exchange. If governments are regulating and not banning that's overall a good thing.

That thread is archived so you can't post on it. That is even more suspicious, why lock a thread almost instantly? I was notified of winning some BTC, I'm not going to fall for any deposit to withdraw scam. You know what, I'll glady pay from my winnings.

Far too many coins have limited application outside of exchanges. I have 2 things that may be of interest to give the coin community something usable. 1) A simple solve a puzzle faucet, hosted. example : https://www.bumbacoin.com/tiles/I'm offering hosting of the puzzle for any coin, with your web layout and graphics and customizable winning criteria (Top 10, per week, day, hour). Services also include offering to handle the faucet payments or provide an API to allow you to poll the winners. Setup fee, and multi month hosting, 0.1 BTC fee. Possibly more depending on customization required 2) A gamified coin auction service example: https://www.touchmycoin.com/toptwo/Promote your own coin by using it as the main bidding coin in coin auctions. Currently it is in a top two format, it could be changed to other formats as requested. A demo form exists at https://www.touchmycoin.com/toptwo/This would be providing a license to the software for you to host and run yourself. Will customize to your coin and layout. 2 BTC fee, additional fees possible depending on customization requests.

Anyone know of a service that gives a vague estimate to web site valuations that is actually worthwhile?
In my experience all the automated ones are lacking. According to them the various domain names alone I have are worth 50-100K, yet sit unsold even priced far less than estimated value.
I have a smattering of domain names, and some gamified crypto services that I have no idea how to value.
For specifics on my project please PM, but I'm sure many would appreciate any information people would want to share on the boards on informational resources.

You do not mention your machine specs. Do you have a lot of memory? As noted better equipment has better performance and I have seen too little memory cause a lot of high CPU usage with crypto. Also memory is usually the easiest thing to add to a system to improve performance.

Are you sure your RPC connector works? There are multiple bitcoin RPC libraries for connecting, you could always try another just to make sure it's not the client having an issue.

Exchanges work as a large database, they don't truly move funds around with each transaction. Users send funds, the funds stay in the exchange account until they withdraw. The wallets themselves can give you new addresses, you as the developer are the one responsible for how the wallets talk to your database and vice versa. As in any project the number of users will change how to do things best.
Relying on notifywallet is risky as if there is ever a problem with your notify script you could miss a transaction. Also there are scaling issues. Best to use the calls of the various wallets to get recent transactions, or if you are running a full node you could even poll every address you are watching and see if there is something new.
Normally you'd want to know which transactions aren't completed, or are in enough blocks. Make a pending transactions list and check on a regular basis if those have reached the required block count. Most exchanges have a different number of completed blocks per coin so this could be quite variable.
Exchanges will need to be running the actual coin daemon, there is indeed a real cost to adding new coins.
The best way to do this depends on the the user base, transaction volume, number of machines, database, and even design. Your devs should all be able to help you design a system that matches your needs.. good luck.
I can't think of many examples of an exchange but plenty of examples of how to do a notifywallet in many many ways which is really what you're after.

It's a shame that Cryptopia has brought in liquidators. They were more than a simple exchange with their boards and marketplace and one of my most commonly used exchanges. I do wish more exchanges and crypto companies as a whole gave postmortems of how a hack was successful. While perhaps embarrassing it could help the crypto community as a whole to know what took some site down and potential pitfalls others should avoid.

AWS TOS don't let you outright sell your credits. The best option would be to put AWS to use.
Develop a new website or service, or find an interesting new crypto project and offer to host their website for a bit of coin, hope the coin goes somewhere

In the near future when the blockchain achieves skynet level sentience we can hope that someone, somewhere, can pull out enough old miners to save us all. Until that happens they probably have more value as scrap. Although the bare board USB miners were at least neat looking.

This has been a good week so far for Touch. We have been added to an exchange https://start-ex.com/trade/TOUCH_BTCWe've added SHMN to the touchmycoin website https://www.touchmycoin.comLimited airdrops will be done in the discord channel, stop by and get some free coins. https://discord.gg/UDvK3juAlso work has progressed on a larger game-ified airdrop that should get the coin some attention. More on that once it's near ready to launch, it's still a little ways off.

Hello,
I've searched and haven't found an answer for this yet but apologies if it has been discussed and I missed it.
I'm interested in running the Bumba wallet on a Raspberry Pi 2, will that be sufficient to run it? I'm currently staking OK Coin on the RPi, hoping Bumba doesn't need much hardware either and I can run the wallet as well.
Cheers, Mike...
I don't have any RPI experience, I assume the largest hassle would be storage as the staking is nothing odd. Bumba's blockchain is about 2.6 gigs so nothing too bad. If you get it working I'd be interested in you writing up how you set it up. I'd be happy to reward you with some Bumba for that.

https://www.Touch.MoneyMany Crypto Projects have a Chicken and Egg problem; In order to have a userbase the coin must have a usable function and in order to have any actual use the coin must have a userbase. Many of the thousands of crypto projects have coins that have no reason to exist outside of exchanges. In the case of TOUCH Coin, we solve this problem by having the coin instantly have a real world utility use as the coin of choice of an existing auction and game service while allowing for continued growth. For the past 2 ˝ years, TouchMyCoin.com has been providing game-ified crypto auctions with a variety of crypto currency coins. Over 59,000 auctions have been conducted to date and have proven the concept with many recurring users participating in the auctions. The most common format for these auctions is the Top Two auction, an entertaining bidding process that encourages multiple users to participate. Recent site enhancements have worked with the concept of crypto skilled gaming, players pay to play a simple game of skill and the most skilled player wins the pool. This is not gambling; this is skilled gaming along the lines of other skilled gaming online services. The market to allow players to compete head to head with other players while playing for crypto winnings is relatively untapped. Also an API will be created to allow other devs to tap into the userbase for web based games. Initial ICO Pre-Mine Coins: 125,000,000 POS Rate: 7.5% Coins Required for a Master Node: 50,000 BlockTime : 1 Minute Total Block Reward : 18 Coins MN Percent : The see saw calculations aims to encourage a dynamic between both stakers and MasterNodes Payout events : 1440 a day Total Coin Rewards per day : 25920 The site will start transitioning to using the TOUCH coin as the primary utility coin for all activities. Listing on exchanges and services like masternodes.online Community outreach will also begin to attract more users. https://www.touch.moneyhttps://touch.money/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/TouchWhitepaper.pdfhttps://www.touchmycoin.comhttps://discord.gg/UDvK3juTOUCH is listed on its first exchange by the good folks over at Start-ex.com. https://start-ex.com/trade/TOUCH_BTChttps://discord.gg/UDvK3juWindows 32 : https://touch.money/down/touch-qt.exeSource : https://github.com/touchmycoin/TouchMac coming soon

Whats going on with this coin? I'm very interested but I've been hearing rumours of supply discrepancies...
I don't want to break out red text.
Edit: Getting to the bottom of this, may be FUD relating to a known FUDDER.
That would definitely be FUD. The supply is growing at the fixed POS rate and no more or less. You can safely go back a few years in the charts and you won't see supply issues.

The faucet is working again, get some daily bumba.
Don't forget to sign up to touchmycoin and bid on at least 1 auction a day. You get a daily dose of free Bumba that way, the longer your bid streak the more you get.

Do any of my fellow BUMBA users have some christmas gift ideas for crypto enthusiasts? Added bonus if things are listed under BUMBA, such as on cryptopia's marketplace.
That's 7 months away... that's some very serious early christmas shopping!
