So bitblender.io is safe to use and not .org?
Because i'm not transferring much BTC I'm worried when chip mixer breaks them into smaller parts that it won't meet the market places minimum deposit amount.
The one with the .org domain is a phising version. If you send any BTC to the fake one, they will be lost forever.

According to the ChipMixer announcement thread, there are chips with 0.001 BTC, 0.002 BTC, 0.004 BTC and so on till 4.096 BTC. You just need to check how much you want to mix before sending any amount.

copy private key and send it to your facebook messages
Copy paste on computer from facebook private keys.

Are you kidding me? I have no control over the data sent through facebook or messenger. Sending private keys through services you don't control is not a great idea.

I'm looking for a secure and open source qr-code reader for android, one that don't collect data, hopefully one that can send the information through a USB cable, don't really know how yet. Maybe I need to order a webcam...
You could avoid doing it through a third party service by saving your private keys in a txt fale and then, transfer it to your computer with your USB.

If you want a app that does read your QR code and sends to your PC, there is this app called Barcode to PC for Android and IOS that does the trick[1].

Friends, I really dont want to use these wallets. But I dont have a choice.  Actually one year back I was using multibit wallet . But suddenly I encountered a problem with that wallet. The problem was my transactions which was earlier confirmed showed receiving and all my balance was showing unconfirmed. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software,  posted this issue in this forum, did all I could to get back my coins. Then I ignored that because last year bitcoin's price was not that high. But now I cannot ignore it because its a good amount now. So I contacted multibit support and the support asked to retrive the coins using these two wallets ie breadwallet or simple bitcoin wallet. Thats why I enquired about these wallets.
Still, there are tons of wallets better than this shady one that no one ever heard of.

As I said before, if you want a wallet for PC, use Electrum or Copay.

If you want a wallet for android/IOS, use Breadwallet, Mycelium or Copay.

I have never experienced any kind of issues like the one described by you while using any of the wallets above. And even if you had the same issue with them, you can just export your private-key and use a different wallet.
14164  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Trading BTC with USD on: September 05, 2017, 06:18:54 PM
You can actually trade your coins for USDT at Bittrex. It is a token supposed backed by 1 USD.

1 Tether (USDT) is worth 1 dollar, so you can for example, sell 1 BTC for 4350 USDT and rebuy when the price goes down without needing to transfer money between your bank account and the exchange.

But I would be careful, they seem to be shady at the moment. Check the links:

14165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can't uninstall Bitcoin core on: September 05, 2017, 05:11:25 PM
Any specific reason why do you want to uninstall Core?

Can you check if the "uninstall.exe" file can be found in the "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin" folder?

You could also try to install it again - if there is no uninstall.exe - to overwrite the program files and then, see if you can manage to run the uninstall setup.

If you are more like a trader that like to look at the graphs, I use this website[1] sometimes to check other traders notes and analysis about a specific coin at a specific period of time. E.g: If there is a correction comming.

14167  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Simple bitcoin wallet app on: September 05, 2017, 01:58:04 PM
When you compare this with bread wallet app, which one is good? I mean for faster transactions which one is good ? I am asking this because when I went to through the reviews in playstore, I couldn't find any positive feedback about these apps.
It doesn't really matter which app you are using. All of them are just clients for the Bitcoin network and there is no such app that provides "faster transactions". If I was you, I would use only apps that are well-known and proven to be a trusted option - such as Electrum, Mycelium, Breadwallet and Copay. Don't play with your money by testing shady random apps with a big amount of Bitcoins.
14168  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Have just used bit blender on: September 05, 2017, 09:25:36 AM
ah that sucks.
I'm going to try grams by helix,ive read they are a little slow but i guess that's better then not receiving coins at all.
Anyone used helix?
Your could try ChipMixer  Roll Eyes (that's not an ad btw)

Have you checked their ANN thread already? They have a pretty original method of mixing by using "chips" made before your actual transaction. So, there is 0 connection between your input and outputs.

Plus, you choose if you want to donate them or not use any fee at all.

14169  Economy / Speculation / Re: I always feel relieved when you have a good fall....how about you? on: September 05, 2017, 02:43:43 AM
It also makes me feel good. When the price is too high, I'm always tempted on selling my coins because of the fall that may come anytime, and it's normal for most people to think more about profit than the technology itself.

I know that it sounds weird, but when the price goes down, I'm glad that I still have my coins and there is no more reasons to sell them. Do you think that makes sense?
14170  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: CoinCheckUp.com - Cryptocoin Analysis & Investment Stats on: September 04, 2017, 09:48:34 PM
Can you share how is made the "Score" calculation of each coin? Is the "Analysis" section the one resulting in those scores?

Regardless, the website looks very well made and full of technical details of each cryptocurrency. So far is the best website that I have seen to do a quick research on each altcoin market and technical information. I will be pleased to bookmark and check it everytime I need to look at some altcoin.
14171  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: cryptopay refund to vcc - need help on: September 04, 2017, 06:53:06 PM
I would say that they take 14 days to proccess your refund.

I had the same issue with two different cards (Shakepay and Coinizy), and in both of them, my balance was automatically updated with the value refunded after exactly 14 days. It has something to do it the way their banks operate, so you will probably need to wait.
14172  Other / Meta / Re: [PROPOSAL]Black Theme ( bitcointalk ) on: September 04, 2017, 05:16:46 PM
The new forum software will support themes, including a dark one, as you can see in the beta version - beta.bitcointalk.org; At the moment, I believe that is extremely unlikely that they will do any kind of themes implementations in the current situation.
14173  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: NEW - CONFUSED ABOUT LINKING BITCOIN TO MY BANK on: September 04, 2017, 05:06:45 PM
Can I link Bitcoin account directly to my bank account?  Or do I need some third party -- such as Coinbase?
You can't. Bitcoin isn't linked anyway with any bank or third party. You will ways need to deposit your coins into a third party to sell them to USD/EUR and then, transfer the money to your bank account.

Edit: The forum is so laggy right now that it took me 5 tries to post this lol
14174  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How does freeze option works in electrum ? on: September 04, 2017, 03:07:38 AM
Locked address? It looks to be a P2SH address so it will work but it will also require the participation of a third party if you want to prevent yourself from using it. If its 2 of 2, a third party will have to hold one of the key and you can hold one of the key. Theres no risk in this except the fact that a third party has to sign it and your coins will be lost if they hold your coins hostage.

There's no nLocktime address, only nLockTime transactions where a transaction will only be valid after the specified time in the transaction. What I described was a way to prevent yourself from using the coins, not highlighting any risk in using nLockTime. For you to effectively lock yourself out of your own Bitcoins, you will have to:
1. Send Bitcoins to a specified address.
2. Create a raw transaction to another address that you control.
3. Delete the private key.
4. Keep the raw transaction and the address that you are sending the coins to safe.

3 and 4 is extremely risky to do and nLocktime can't help.
The best bet then is probably to just store the coins in a cold/paper wallet and store it away somewhere safe such as a safety deposit box or similar where it is not easily accessible which would help control impulse spending if that is what you are worried about.
Yup, thats the best way.

With "locked address" I mean the address that is generated by Coinbin, which coins can only be spent with the redeem script they give you, and after the time you choose while creating it. https://coinb.in/#newTimeLocked

While using the method you described above, won't you be able to receive the coins by broadcasting the raw transaction anytime after deleting the private key? Or is the transaction not signed? If this is the case, then what is this for?

The same can be applied to the deposit box method. You can go there anytime and just spend the coins. I guess that OP is looking for a way to prevent him from spending the coins until a specific date even if he is tempted to do so.

The main poinnt is i want to hold my bitcoins for a long period and want to freeze then for 1 year so that i myself cannot do anything with them
14175  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Question about Hashocean on: September 03, 2017, 11:20:54 PM
Please don't fall for this. Have common sense once in your life. Knowing that you are tempted to try this "refund", I would say that you have already fallen for HashOcean back when they were up, and now you want to get scammed again?

First, just like you said, HashOcean is a ponzi scam. They were made as an attempt to steal users. I don't see why would they return their users funds. This page is either one of the options bellow:

a. A page made by someone trying to scam even more from the users that lost money at HashOcean.
b. The same team behind HashOcean already spent their users funds and now they want to rip off a little bit more.

"And we have to send them 0.02 btc in order to verify our address" - then, they would ask you to sign a message with your address, and not ask you 0.02; Even if they are sending the same amount back (they are not), why not just ask for something like 0.0005 BTC?

Their website is not even working anymore.
14176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what's up with the bitcoin transactions on: September 03, 2017, 09:14:36 PM
Bitcoin blocks are almost always full. Since there is a capped size of 1mb per block, and each transaction is worth some bytes, there is a limited number of transactions that may be included in each block. Because of that, you need to "fight" with other users to get your transaction confirmed in the next blocks, this is done by using transaction fees.

Miners will always include transactions with higher fees in their blocks. Example: if there is only space for 200 transactions in the next block, and there are 500 unconfirmed transactions, the miner will prefer to include the 200 transactions with higher fee in his mined block.

If there is more unconfirmed transactions = people tend to increase their fees to get priority in the next block = you will also need to pay higher fees to compete with the other transactions.

If there is less unconfirmed transactions = plenty of room for all transactions = you don't need to pay high fees to compete with the other transactions.
14177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paper wallets and airdrops on: September 03, 2017, 09:07:24 PM
I have a few questions about paper wallets. Firstly why do you have to transfer all your Bitcoin out of a paper wallet or risk losing the *change" I don't understand that.
When you generate a well secure paper wallet, your private keys haven't toucher anything connected to the internet. This means that your coins are 100% isolated from anywhere that may be infected with malwares. That's why a paper wallet is a good option for long term storages.

When you want to "cash out" the coins from your paper wallet, you will normally import your private key in a device with internet access. Now the private key isn't isolated anymore, so there is always a risk of having your paper wallet data stolen by someone. That's why people always tend to generate a one-use paper wallet, that is disposable after its use.

Next is the real reason for posting this and that is do I get airdrops such as BCC if my coins are in a paper wallet ?
BCC wasn't an airdrop. It was a fork from the Bitcoin network.

Imagine that you send 1 BTC to your paper wallet. The blockchain has this transaction recorded as X sent 1 BTC to Y wallet. This means that for every one in the network, this specific address Y contains 1 BTC.

When the Bitcoin Cash chain was created, it took the same blockchain from Bitcoin and continued as a different coin in a different path. Since your 1 BTC where registered in this specific address, and Bitcoin Cash started using the same Blockchain as the legacy Bitcoin, you have the same amount on both sides of the chain.
14178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Uber/Lyft/Paypal would accept bitcoin, game changer? on: September 03, 2017, 08:59:43 PM
From the company side, it is not a big problem as it seems. There are solutions for merchants to have their payment in Bitcoin converted automatically in fiat this to avoid the volatility. Bitpay, Paymium and surely some others offer this solution. So as merchants you don't lose any money. The same could be implemented for the customers side.

It can be done, but I don't think this is particularly useful to adoption, especially if it's done through payment processors that just dump directly to fiat. We saw a lot of merchants adding Bitcoin payment options throughout the 2014-2015 bear market, and I don't think it drove adoption.

Seeing it as a merchant payment option might help overall BTC recognition, but as a consumer, it wouldn't make me think, "I better go out and buy some BTC so I can spend it on Uber." Especially if I knew anything about it and took into account the costs of acquiring BTC. And the fees to spend it on low-cost consumer payments. It doesn't make much sense.

It would be interesting if these companies accepted BTC and then also began including it in their investment portfolios. That would definitely have an effect on supply. But I don't know how likely that is.
The problem is that to start accepting Bitcoin itself, and using it to pay other expenses, a company would need to start taking a loss as a way of spreading Bitcoin's adoption.

Imagine if a restaurant start accepting Bitcoin. The owner receives 0.05 of Bitcoin from a dinner and has to pay the ingredients he spent to make the food. How would he pay his bills if the company he owes doesn't accept Bitcoin? He will always have the need to sell Bitcoin for fiat, to then, pay the market that sold him his ingredients.

Bitcoin is still very dependent from the fiat. Maybe in the future we may start seeing some Bitcoin to Bitcoin ecosystem.
14179  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: claimbitcoin.bid how it works, scam or legit? on: September 03, 2017, 07:10:56 PM
Ok, let's take a look at the website.

Quote
ClaimBitcoin is the Bitcoin generator that everyone has been waiting for. Currently it is the only working Bitcoin generator out there, and at the moment it can generate anywhere from 0.001 to 0.5 Bitcoins per day.!

So, the website is a "Bitcoin generator" that can generate from 0.001 ($5) to 0.5 ($2250) per day for free... Now, if you are a smart person, would know that this already seems like bullshit from the start.

If you want those free coins, you will need to submit the form at the top of the page, and they will ask you to do a survey to complete your "mining". Which may cost you money.

TL;RD: It's a fake website that asks you to do surveys for them, so they can earn money fooling newbies that think you can generate money from nowhere.
I have seen websites like this before. I remember people spamming "invite 5 friends and win a $50 steam card" websites that need you to do surveys in my social medias in the past.
