Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1mb per block and scalability
|
on: August 27, 2017, 11:44:36 AM

Hi,
currently there are on average 300 000 BTC transaction per day.
My question is : is it possible to keep 1 mb block (with technical solutions) while the transaction numbers per day increases to 1 million, 10 millions, 100 millions...?
thanks
It depends on where the transactions will take place. The plan is to move majority of transactions to offchain solutions such as lightning and sidechains. Even if then the bitcoin blockchain is not able to support the transactions, there will be a hard fork by developers to increase the block size. |

Apologies if that was mentioned somewhere already, I haven't spotted it yet however:
What will happen with the remaining coins offered in the presale if not all coins get sold?
Cheers
No answer to this? As currently it doesn't look like all coins on offer will find a buyer during the presale. They are more active on their telegram channel if you want answers. They are saying that they have got partners and a vc firm which will buy around 100 million coins in the upcoming days which will put them over the minimum threshold for the ICO. |

how much total supply of this coin?? how much the premine? no info about it and spesification of this coin.. you must explain the specs of this coin to forum..
There are total 1 billion coins. 500 million coins are up for ICO on orderbook.io It is mentioned in the whitepaper on their website. The link to whitepaper here is incorrect. I have notified them. They offer products but not seriously, Include only wrong links, should this project be supported? They have fixed it already. |

I stopped using it a long time ago. It is good for those who like to stay online on the website seeing the price without getting bored but may also get people scammed, show fake trust in coins and make noobies invest in shitcoins. With the amount of growth polo has had, I think it is nice to have trollbox disabled now. Also might help with the load and hangs their website has.

Escrow.ms is also from 2012. He was the biggest escrow on this forum and was one of the people with highest trust. He then was arrested for credit card fraud, spent a year in jail and returned to the forum a few days ago. He lost all his trust when the news came out.
Yes. Escrow.ms aka Pankaj Bharadwaj was associated with Coinsecure thereafter came news of him engaged in illicit activities. I wonder, who else is active from this forum because lot people approached me for trades in hard cash. Is he out? What is he doing these days? P.S: I'm not so early adaptor. I got engaged 3-4 years after Satoshi mined genesis block. Every year is a decade in Bitcoin world.  He is out on bail now. His trial starts next year. According to him, he was used as a scapegoat by the police. Just checked one of his old addresses. He got around 0.13 btc in payment which means he is still active in bitcoin world. I found out about bitcoin in november 2013 and joined in 2014. If 3 years is old enough, I am also an old member  |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BREAKING: Bitcoin Miners Reach Scaling Agreement for SegWit Upgrade + 2MB Blocks

I am strictly against hard forks. A hard fork must only be done if it is really really necessary like a bug in the code or something. Also they keep pulling back the release time and are trying to release the hard fork as soon as possible which means the code wont be thoroughly tested which is absolutely necessary in case of hard fork. I dont want an early segwit with bugs. A delayed segwit would be better so that more people can go through the code and verify it.
Bitcoin has been stalled for years...now you want it stalled more? Those corrupt Core developers really fooled you guys good. Can't wait for miners to take back bitcoin for good. Bitcoin development was never stalled. New features are released on a regular basis. This problem however does not have a good solution. What the core developers want is a good solution. Increasing the blocksize is a horrible solution. Also there were a lot of bugs in BU's code which were fixed later on which destroys their credibility. Handing over bitcoin to miners lead to centralization which is horrible. If core devs were corrupt, they would have already forced segwit on everyone which they didnt do. Miners however want to force BU on everyone and are asking for hard fork. |

Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Sentiment analysis using bitcointalk thread
|
on: May 25, 2017, 03:51:57 AM

I am working on a project that processes bitcointalk's thread, collects data such as posts, members who posted them, their activity, trust etc and then assigns a score to everything, then does sentiment analysis on the post content and tells if the thread is in positive condition or in a bad condition.
The primary objective is to measure the future of altcoins depending on their threads as their threads are the place where the real stuff appears. Currently, I am in the data collection phase.
Has anyone does this before? What do you think about it? How were the results? Looking for productive feedback.
For the majority of the first part (bold texts), yes (achow101 has done it), although it's more in general: https://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142314.0
For the second part, that's something new but there's one issue. In altcoin threads (most of them), there's a huge number of shill accounts that try to make a coin look better and more valuable than they actually are. What process you'll be using to eliminate such conditions for the analysis part? That project looks really nice. Currently, I havent given much thought to it. The major classification for giving out scores to posters is somewhat similar to what achow101 has done. What I am going for is to check if the project is in a healthy state rather than how valuable it is. Regarding the shill accounts, I will try to figure out a way to clear them out during the data cleaning stage but I havent thought about it yet. |

Hi everyone, I used to be the social media manager of old hyper. I am still a moderator at https://www.reddit.com/r/hypercrypto. If someone from the new team wants the moderator access to it, let me know. I had already handed over the facebook page's access to djnocide. Really great to see hyper being relaunched again. I will probably stick around and see how it goes. Good luck to you all. Hi, browsing that reddit page you provided is like looking back in the past, seeing where we had been and how nice promotions we had back then. With Jon Fitch and jtnichol, etc. still around back than. Anyway, many links should be updated, some of them to be deleted, that is for sure, but have you consider maybe getting back in a saddle? Maybe with stating your conditions first? It surely was a great time. Everyday we would see new highs. New games, new players. Sadly it couldnt continue. But its nice to see someone took initiative and took over the coin. I am not much active on bitcointalk due the full time job I have. I will update those links but I dont think I will be able manage everything once Hyper starts getting traction again. |

Local / India / Re: Why Coinsecure delaying BTC/INR withdrawal ?
|
on: May 22, 2017, 04:40:28 AM

Our user load seems to double every week.
No matter what we do to compensate for the load, it just keeps going up.
Our best option at this stage is to reboot what we have done and do a rewrite to ensure much bigger loads.
Looking for a more experienced team to clean up UI bugs, etc as well.
None are quick fixes at all.
We have done some more updates to limit data flow from API, etc. Hopefully, we can see some results this week, but am confident that user load will grow to fill the limits we have changed.
We have been held up with withdraws and deposits for fiat as well thanks to these rising numbers.
I need time to fix these tech issues as we never expected such a big bump up in users across such a short time.
Rest assured, we will be better than before in no time.
In which section are you experiencing high load issues? Wallet side or website side? In what language is your website? If it is in PHP, I can help. Website mainly. Coinsecure is written in Scala, so PHP wont help much here. We know how to scale this up, not enough hands though. Ah scala. I cant imagine how difficult it would be to find good scala developers in India. I learnt a bit of scala while i was in college, left it as there were much scala opportunities in India but it was pretty new then. |
