Why do people use this TELEGRAM trash? I'm not registering my phone.
Grow up and use an adult platform to communicate. And get this crap on an exchange. What a joke!
Noone forced you to invest into SRC. But by doing so you decided to SUPPORT the project, it was NEVER MADE TO MAKE YOU RICH. Take it as kickstarting, you do not expect to become rich just because you kickstarted something. I couldnt give 2 shits about any exchanges until we see the final product. As for using an adult platform, what do you think they should use then ? I really would like to hear your suggestions. You are not registering your phone because mom doesn't allow you to ? Or is collecting faucets all day not enough to buy a burnable sim card ? |

1) We have generated a chain of 10 million sha256 hashes, starting with a server secret that has been repeatedly fed the output of sha256 back into itself 10 million times. The sha256 of the final hash in the chain is: c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75, by publicising it here we are preventing any ability to pick an alternate sha256 chain. 2) Parabolic will play through that chain of hashes, in reverse order, and use the hashes to determine the crash point in a probably fair manner. 3) To avoid criticism that the Bitcoin address used in step 1 was carefully chosen to generate lots of "bad" crash points, each hash in the chain will be salted with a client seed, which we have no control of. The client seed will be the block hash of a Bitcoin block that hasn't yet been mined: block 465525. The reference code (javascript) is as follows: The method to create the hash chain is simply sha256: function genGameHash(serverSeed) {
return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(serverSeed).digest('hex');
}
The method to convert a game hash, mix it with the picked client seed to a game multiplier: function crashPointFromHash(serverSeed, clientSeed) {
function divisible(hash, mod) {
// We will read in 4 hex at a time, but the first chunk might be a bit smaller
// So ABCDEFGHIJ should be chunked like AB CDEF GHIJ
var val = 0;
var o = hash.length % 4;
for (var i = o > 0 ? o - 4 : 0; i < hash.length; i += 4) {
val = ((val << 16) + parseInt(hash.substring(i, i+4), 16)) % mod;
}
return val === 0;
}
var hash = crypto.createHmac('sha256', serverSeed).update(clientSeed).digest('hex');
/* In 1 of 101 games the game crashes instantly. */
if (divisible(hash, 101))
return 0;
/* Use the most significant 52-bit from the hash
to calculate the crash point */
var h = parseInt(hash.slice(0,52/4),16);
var e = Math.pow(2,52);
return Math.floor((100 * e - h) / (e - h));
}
The chain could be generated with code such as: var serverSecret = 'If you knew this, you could steal all my money';
var clientSeed = '0000examplehash';
var gamesToGenerate = 1e7;
var serverSeed = serverSecret;
for (var game = gamesToGenerate; game > 0; --game) {
serverSeed = genGameHash(serverSeed);
console.log('Game ' + game + ' has a crash point of ' + (crashPointFromHash(serverSeed, clientSeed) / 100).toFixed(2) +'x', '\t\tHash: ' + serverSeed);
}
var terminatingHash = genGameHash(serverSeed);
console.log('The terminating hash is: ', terminatingHash);
Using our chosen starting serverSeed, the hash terminating the chain is c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75. That is to say, the first game's hash played under the new provably fair scheme, when hashed will be c56c9fe892bd23ff6d20da0b505c86db9acecb6a257a2b79b23dfface1d4ea75. Saved. Also looking forward to the launch! |

I hope to start working on the C++ code tree again in the coming months, ... i have the following on my wish list: - Separating core (lib), CLI and Qt wallet source code into different projects
- Implementing reverse blockchain download using checkpoints to speed up initial wallet sync for new users
- Re-evaluate possible diff options as i am convinced that there must be a better algorithm than the current one
- Looking at adding some Insight server items straight into the CSC daemon and rebuild the Insight API on top off the C++ daemon instead of its own NodeJS implementation
Are there any other items the community would like to see added? I think it would be a really good idea to consider moving to POS after updating the codebase to as close to litecoin as possible. Then breaking up the things you wish to put into other projects. Logically, overall, i believe this to be less of a headache then what you propose. I'm more then willing to be incorrect though. Yes, changing the diff algorithm is a real headache, ... thats why we haven't touched it yet. It might even not be necessary if hashrate increases but currently its soo hard to determine if the diff is good enough to create a stable blocktime. Anyway, .... PoS is not going to happen, ... we discussed that before and the consensus was that it would dilute too much the current market capital. A stable blockreward of 1 CSC for the next 30 years was preferred ..... While i do agree that staying on POW might be better. But, wouldnt it also be possible to make the coin POS and still keep the block reward 1 ? |

Thanks for letting us know. You could always be silent about this issue and avoid potential PR problems.
If SafeDice wasn't compromised by any form of attack, then do you have any suspicion or theory which other casino/dice service was breached?
Was there any reports from users who complained that their online balance was stolen recently or they noted other suspicious activity?
I don't store plain text password, and the encryption that I use is invulnerable to rainbow attack. My theory is that the breached service ( it doesn't have to be dice / casino site ) is not a new service, it has more than 10k active bitcoin users. One of the potentially breached account was from an old user of Safedice that I know, this is the reason of my concern. So far I don't think there was any report linked to this case. I think most of the breached account that does not use 2FA has very low balance. Any further information re the source of these failed login attempts? Perhaps an email confirmation before withdrawal will help? or maybe withdrawal only allowed for logins using ip addresses from the same country/region?
You can use ip to verify if those accounts were opened from the ip user most often use to sign in. Otherwise send a confirmation msg to the user's email so that they can open the account from the link sent to their email or lock that account and post a notification on your site that any user who's account locked can contact you or support to get them unlock with some details like email or btc address he oftenly withdraws to.
I considered this one, but I prefer our users to be anonymous. I have disabled withdrawal for suspicious account. I think the breach was from Bitsler.com . The admin doesn't want to reveal, but there are some account leaks happening from Bitsler website. Over 17k accounts plain text had been leaked here and another places.
I think this is very dangerous for the Bitcoin community, and bitsler admin should take some action! Many bitsler users are claiming they got their account hacked and I had my bitsler accounts stolen too.
I don't want to accuse anyone , I'll leave any judgement to the community Could very well be from the Bitcointalk leak |

In what way exactly is this one supposedly the "first" marketplace? I seem to remember perusing the NXT one long before this one existed. Or is it by sticking "decentralized' in front of it and that they feel they can then make that claim. BAY has a functioning decentralized marketplace. With decentralized being the important part, if not the most important part. The whole crypto started to bring more decentralization, to make bartering trustless for the users. I know that people really love to believe their favorite coin or whatever is decentralized, but in the case of this one, it's currently "centralized" in the developer himself. The moment he stops (is hit by a bus or something else happens), just like all others where the dev left, it will die. Him also having at least 10% (no one can be believed in this space and he could have far more than that), well that's a hell of a lot and cause for concern. It used to be that any coin that had a premine etc. of that sort of amount was immediately classified as a scam/garbage etc and avoided. Now of course people just accept it all as normal and make up all sorts of things to justify it. His stating that this coin cannot be stopped by any country etc is just laughable and the fact that he's put that out there just has to make someone start to question more. Tor traffic can be detected and blocked. Bittorrent traffic can be detected and blocked. Sure, it wouldn't be cost effective to try and stop absolutely everyone, but you stop the majority and anything relying on it is dead. Seriously. I mean all you have to do is read the freaking wikipedia page about Tor. Just because no one really gives a shit about all this stuff right now doesn't mean it can't/won't happen down the road. Another issue I have with this coin is that the marketplace is subject to the deal/licensing of Halo. Have all the specific details on that been made public? Would think that should be right in the OP of the coin as it's pretty important. Without it though, the marketplace no longer exists which makes it a risk. At the end of the day though, this coin is no different than 99% of the others out there. It hasn't solved any real fundamental problems, offers a bunch of "stuff" that makes it seem like it has some sort of value and it serves no other purpose than a way for people to make a bunch of money for as long as it lasts. So as long as that's all you're interested in, then by all means, this one is as good as any other. The first part of your argument applies to all walks of life, it is more about how decentralized it can go. If he does dissapear, things will continue to function. As long as people run their nodes, it will be up. As for your main point, sure, anythings possible i guess He MADE HALO. I would say it is different as it offers an actual working product. Each coin goes by its own path and we can only guess how it all ends up. But BAY has shown incredible resilience and is bringing in new stuff to teh table all the time. And what do you mean by offering people a way to make a lot of money ? I do not thin that is a part of BAY. But it does offer people to use a double deposit escrow when people wish to sell something on the marketplace and make money that way. If you dont like the coin, feel free to not invest in it. That is your choice. |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will ETH overtake BTC in market cap?
|
on: May 01, 2017, 07:47:04 PM

I think it will.
it's up to 25% of BTC marketcap and doesn't look like it's going to slow down. There are literally HUNDREDS of apps now being written for it. It wouldn't surprise me if it happens towards the end of the year.
I suppose the general question is "Are smart platforms more valuable than raw currencies?"
The likelyhood of that happening is slim to none. And no, it will not happen at the end of the year, you know why ? Go look at some charts of what happens to Alts at that time. There is value in ETH, but not enough to take over BTC's marketcap. |

I'm waiting for new actions about segwit or lightning Network.
I really like this system and this is a special thing to attract more investors to join this project.
The price is quite stable and this is good chance to buy more VIA coins to hold for long time.
Why does this coin keep going backwards? It goes no were..is drak still involved? Backwardds? It's stable at 14k stat, one month ago was 7k, what do you mean by backwards? This coin has become one of the best developed coins. The big R is doing amazing work and as he puts it, he is coding away those sell walls. |
