WHO DO YOU SUE WHEN LN/SEGWIT FUCKS UP?

ever notice that the lightning network has a 0.042 btc limit precisely because they don't want people to bet the farm on something relatively new? that's diligence in action.

i'm kind of disappointed at how obvious it all is really. my total net worth has been pretty steady for months because a chunk of it is in alts. it's kind of irritating seeing all time highs and not actually getting any richer.

when I'm playing around with the online paper wallet generator
on the left corner bottom, I found a link to download source from github but it's for bitcoin
it seems bitcore is using exactly same address generator as bitcoin
any address created on either generator works/confirms on the other (both) network
am I right on this? furthermore, if they're identical...
would signature produce by bitcoin wallet also be verified by bitcore wallet?
I probably could answer this myself but my bitcore wallet keeps crashing when I run it
so... is the signing algorithm and result also the same for bitcoin and bitcore?


I tried this with the bitcore wallet and electrum, and the bitcoin wallet did not verify signed bitcore messages and vice-versa.  

i tried signing with something bitcoin brainwallet thing that i expected to work but it didn't. i was pretty surprised as paper wallet generators work fine.

i signed ok with the bitcore wallet offline. now coinomi has added it, which is great, then that should work too.

I will update again if anything else occurs.

the 50k thing is a well known requirement. are you anywhere near that? if not then there's no action for you.

i'd love to know of anyone who isn't one of their 'institutional investors' who did manage to withdraw 50k. i've never heard of one yet.
1325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Gold will be another Bitcoin Cash? on: October 22, 2017, 02:04:55 PM
BCH (even if most would hate to admit it) has actually more legitimacy to exist rather than than BTG. BCH is way closer to Satoshi vision as a currency coin thus in that sense still holding onto the Bitcoin name.

Both forks are illegitimate, but gold at least aims to return to non corporate mining. I don't think satoshi would be anything other than sickened at how insulting bch's abandonment of decentralisation has been.
1326  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could Peercoin be the next Vertcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 01:56:37 PM
There's a nominal 2 billion coin limit that'll probably never be reached.

I think they're aiming for 1% annual inflation which is more sensiblethan a hard cap for something that aims to be used.
1327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Could Peercoin be the next Vertcoin? on: October 22, 2017, 01:51:36 PM
Considering how innovative it's been I've never understood how it dwindled.

It's on all the right exchange, lots of pedigree and a clever developer.

But that don't seem to count for much right now. I guess someone needs to ico its ass.

Even though litecoin was dead for years it still had alot of visibility.

Ppc feels like a long shot but shouldn't be.
1328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Gold, Price Speculation on: October 22, 2017, 01:47:36 PM
Has the pre mine been confirmed? There seem to be conflicting ideas about when it forked.

Some are saying something happened at the start of this month which must be the pre mine phase if there is one.

Their fork is the right thing to do. It can't carry on like this.

As jihan wu is the only ongoing miner then i can't see the old chain surviving.

Asfor this calvin guy, hope he's looking forward to the lawsuits when people demand actual bitcoin as was billed and not their lies.
1330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: do the miners actually support the btc1 team on: October 22, 2017, 12:14:53 PM
most miners support who'll make them the most money.

jihan wu and his cronies believe getting rid of core will make him more money in the long run. right now btc1 is the best chance of doing that, though it's gonna fail horribly once again, so that's who he's supporting.
1331  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bittrex Official statement on Bitcoin Gold on: October 22, 2017, 12:07:39 PM
of course they're gonna trade it because of course there's gonna be replay protection. there'll be no fork without it.

it would be fun if it was another bcash and went to the moon because no one could move it, but i don't think lightning strikes twice and my trust in bittrex has taken a hit.
1332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: coins to invest in after the altcoin blooodbath on: October 21, 2017, 11:15:55 PM
i would assume nothing. there's no guarantee money will flow back to alts, even though it's likely.

bitcoin is taking a decisive step towards the big time right now. it's possible it's gonna permanently grab alot of alt thunder.

uh, where is the smart contract that 'invalidates' stuff like this? i thought legal battles were the past and ecr20 the future or whatever.

well, guess not.
1334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC is dead. The plan is a shift to Bitcoin Cash. on: October 21, 2017, 08:03:53 PM
let's wait for bitcoin fork season to be over before declaring this dead. every alt is getting creamed right now. it could come roaring back or be fatally holed. maybe that's what coinbase are waiting for. it's way less hassle to hand out a coin that's dead.
1335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: John Mcafee to release his own token - McafeeCoin on: October 21, 2017, 07:51:48 PM
i've been following his company's products. i can't see anything that's generating any profit so i don't see how his ico is gonna make any return either. i guess if you can offload it for more then cool but it would be nice to see something deliver properly.
1336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin Gold, Price Speculation on: October 19, 2017, 05:54:06 PM
They still have not added replay protection to my understanding?

So no exchange will touch it.

= useless scam worth 0

it's right there on their site clear as day. the site's been upgraded.

i would've been tempted to leave some btc on bittrex to catch this just in case they list it for another super pump, but considering the amount of their users having problems i'll play it safe.
1337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [NEW XBY ANN] XTRABYTES - OFFICIAL WEBSITE and WHITEPAPER RELEASED on: October 19, 2017, 05:48:05 PM
Yeah a Telegram group would be nice.

i would join a telegram group to learn more about this. i would not join a slack. i hate the ui and it seems to attract much scammier behavior for some reason.
1338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: October 19, 2017, 12:57:14 AM
Nice idea but far too much work for a temporary thing. There's no upside for wallet developers.

They can point to wallet signing and that'll be enough
1339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Ethereum so special? on: October 18, 2017, 02:36:13 PM
Ethereum is a decentralized platform for applications that run exactly as programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference, that's why many ICOs trust ethereum network make smart contract on this network, the price also is affordable this time and it can make us good profit for the future.


This is a good and clear explanation to answer the why is ETH so special. we can write here a few pages about ETH's features but this summary is pretty enough to understand.


Except they've already rolled back their blockchain and no doubt would again if put under enough pressure either from their own users or authorities.
1340  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin can go to $100 next year? on: October 18, 2017, 02:20:56 PM
Ethereum? Despite all the noise i haven't seen anything to justify the price it's at.

All it's become is a rickety slot machine for icos.
