I don't know if it's bad or good idea, but it's certainly interesting idea even though IMO it's not strongly related with Computer Engineering.

If i were to give recommendation, how about focusing security aspect of exchange or using trading bot?

Most browser, extension, anti-virus & google search would block/blacklist your website if you dare to implement CoinHive to your website.
Besides, XMR mining isn't really profitable or worth your time unless you have million of visitors.

4.  Most users now have blockers which stop this type.

IIRC Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome detect and block cryptominer by default.
2523  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Advice on Raspberry pi hardware for running full BTC node on: January 19, 2020, 05:58:00 PM
Branded power supply works. Like from a "real" phone company, the ones Samsung and Apple provide with their phones seem to be decent ones. Could also try branded powered USB hubs like Anker. However, you might need a little bit more power for the RPi, so just check to make sure it gives more than 1 amp or something.

Some stores sell them with a 0.1 added voltage ... so it puts out 5.1 volts or something.

Most of them won't able to run RPi 4 since RPi 4 require 3A, 5.1V, while most USB product have range between 1A - 2.5A, 5V.


There are many version of Eee PC, so i hope it's not 1GB version where Raspberry Pi would win Tongue

And if we're talking about cheap laptop/notebook, Pinebook is better option with more RAM.
The only downside it uses eMMC and can't run windows.

I'm a bit curious,
1. What is average RAM usage after install all of these tools?
2. Does Bitcoin Core use most of the RAM in your case (since you use value 2048 for you dbcahce) ?

2526  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can I/Miners spend an output with anyone-can-spend public script? on: January 12, 2020, 08:11:52 PM
Does this mean that by default anyone-can-spend scripts are disabled and cannot be used?

AFAIK it's the opposite.

Since segwit is a soft fork, what would happen if a miner treats some of the segwit outputs as anyone-can-spend scripts (as pre-seg scripts) and spend them in a new block?

Most Bitcoin full nodes (whether it's run by miner, exchange or regular user) would reject such block because there's no valid redeem script or the UTXO is invalid.
2527  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Energy requirements to brute force SHA-256 on: January 12, 2020, 07:34:06 PM
What if some tries to create an AI that would try to reverse SHA 256 hashes? That is not impossible. Although no one never succeeded , a highly advanced and dedicated AI could try.

I believe that with AI advances a lot of things will change.

I can't imagine AI to reverse hash of Bitcoin's blockchain, i'd save my storage space Grin

The risk to those using SHA-256 to encrypt their sensitive information is that a more efficient formula will be discovered that can calculate a private key with a given public key. Will this happen in the future? I don't know, that is above my pay grade.

You can't use SHA-256 to encrypt something because it's hash function.

If a software claim using SHA-256 to encrypt information, it's very likely they use other encryption algorithm where it's private key (with length 256 bit) came from hashed password/passphrase.

Even if you ban him why do you want to delete all his posts? (nuke)
Don't you want their to be a record left of how stupid the account was?
Some members quotes and scrape/archive his posts, so there will be record if user "Bitcoin SV" (or any user) got nuked.
Still, there stupidity would not be that public and accessible as it is now. And what about freedom of speech ?

P.S. which country regulation should we use regarding freedom of speech in this forum?

2530  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Run Bitcoind without full sync on: January 10, 2020, 08:58:07 AM
Bitcoin Core don't support such feature, you must download and verify all block at least once. But if you don't mind download all blocks, but only store recent blocks, then pruned mode is what you're looking.

Using 3rd party API or SPV wallet (e.g. Electrum) are other choice you might be interested.
2531  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Own Bitcoin-API on: January 09, 2020, 11:05:04 AM
You could try looking for open-source Bitcoin blockexplorer project, example https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer

I never try it, so i've no idea if it has all features you're looking for.
2532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: The Next Big Upgrade & Update Features on: January 08, 2020, 07:22:56 PM
Bitcoin Magazine made good article about it, 2020 and Beyond: Bitcoin’s Potential Protocol Upgrades
But there aren't any ETA of when the upgrade/update will be deployed to Bitcoin mainnet, in fact most upgrade/update don't have ETA until the development process (including testing/find bugs) is 100% done or a consensus is archived.

There are few suggestion to lower defauly minimum transaction fee  (e.g. #14012, #13922 and #13990) which allowed to be broadcasted by a node, but i doubt it'll happen anytime soon.

Schnorr/Taproot/Tapscript probably is what user wanted since it lower transaction size, which means users will pay less fess and allow more transaction in a block.

You need to configure your Bitcoin Core to use less resource. Try this answer https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/50743

I see you're switching to .NET Core and user don't need to deal with dependency at all. I can even run it on niche Linux distro Smiley

As for finding missing Base58, IMO you should consider scenario when user missing few character but don't know location of the missing character.
2535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Alternative ideas for mixing? on: January 01, 2020, 05:38:00 PM
What you're looking for is Atomic Swaps

Keep in mind that to improve your privacy using atomic swaps you'd still need to do the swap with a privacy focused cryptocurrency (similar to what fravia suggested, except without the need for a centralized exchange).

True, but there are proposal/idea to improve privacy when using atomic swap (even though atomic swap itself is still in development) such as Anonymous Atomic Swaps Using Homomorphic Hashing

2537  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Does Electrum wallet has a special advantage than other wallet? on: December 27, 2019, 07:05:56 PM
Electrum is a light wallet, indeed that model is more insecure since you are trusting a third party server, rather than the blockchain directly. BUT, you can ALSO run your own private Electrum server on your own node and tell your wallet to connect locally over your (hopefully) secure LAN... So the light client part is optional.

I think it's more privacy rather than security problem.

Thanks to SPV mechanism, all malicious server could do are refusing some service (e.g. return transaction information and broadcast signed transaction) and giving malicious message (if you use older version of Electrum).
2538  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Bitcoin Oldest Node Still Operating after 7 years! on: December 26, 2019, 09:35:20 AM
>> If the oldest node is still running and in sync then why do we require the new node?

* Bug or security fix
* Performance improvement
* Network update
* Proper support for new features (e.g. Bech32 address after SegWit activation)

What is the difference between the old and the new latest nodes?

You need to read changelog of each version of full node client to find out the difference

'Don't use Google search' — I just can't find the fluidity that Google search has to other search engines.

Try Duckduckgo. I'm not sure what kind of fluidity you're seeking here but it's clear that thing is built from collecting hundreds of petabytes of users data.

Searx and Qwant also good alternative since DDF result is terrible for non-english keyword

If you keep experience "Deserialize or I/O error", then most likely the problem is your storage drive.

Check your HDD for bad storage sector or check your SSD health
