This is a reminder to all members who were looking forward to using the new beta version of BitcoinTalk (like me).

The "Abuse Detected" bug that appeared whenever someone tried to reset their password to use the new forum seems to have been fixed, since I was able to reset my password and login in the new Beta version.

Now you can login and see the forum for yourself. Just remember that the migration is still going on and some boards (most of them) still have 0 threads and some are outdated. But at least we made some progress.

I'm really looking forward to the full launch of the new forum and the new tools that will be available. E.g: Mentions notification

First, you need to understand that your tx fees don't increase depending on the value you are sending. You will pay the same amount to send $10 as you would with $10000. What makes the tx more expensive is the amount of inputs and outputs on the transaction, which will increase the size of the tx.

Exodus will calculate the fee depending on the load on the network and the amount of inputs and outputs your transaction have.

Always check https://bitcoinfees.21.co to see how much is the avarage price for the cheapest transaction fee in bytes. If you want to understand everything and how to calculate the fee, you will probably need to read a little from the technical side to understand how fees works.

This is just speculation from a public poll. Do not write as if Alibaba had confirmed to accept the use of Bitcoins in its services. As far as we know, none of the companies mentioned in the poll are guaranteed to accept Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment in their products.

Barry didn't said anything. He just asked for people's opinion on his twitter on which company will embrace Bitcoin first.

It really depends on too many factors to decide something like that. Which coins do you have? Do you really believe they have a future and promising project, or your only holding them for a quick profit? Remember that the same way Bitcoin price can go up a lot, altcoins can do the same in the long term just like Ethereum and Dash did, for example.

Don't trade away your coins just because someone told you to do so. Do you own research and decide for yourself which ones are really going to be the next big thing. It is entirely up to you to decide what your cryptocurrency portfolio will look like. If you really believe IOTA market will grow, hold it.

Taking advantage of the subject in the thread, does that mean that if someone could manage to generate the private keys of that address, could they spend those Bitcoins? Or does a Bitcoin burn address have any special technology to prevent this kind of problem?

I know it's near impossible to even generate this custom address but it won't be impossible right?

What would happen to Counterparty if this happened? Could anyone withdraw the funds and re-send them to generate other tokens infinitely?

To keep this kind of history I use websites like CoinTracking and KryptoTax (awesome website to include cryptocurrency in your tax statements) to keep a record on when and how much I profited from Bitcoin investments and trading. This way you have something to prove the source of my earnings if at some point I have to clarify where I'm getting money for the government.

I not only do this to secure my earnings from the government but also to keep a record of my history in the blockchain world. That way I can show my sons how I was a early bird and bought coins for a few dollars when they are now worth thousands.

The only way I can think of doing this without having to pay anything is by using ViaBTC Transaction Accelerator. But keep in mind that they only accept a fews transactions per hour, so you will probably need to keep trying until they accept your Tx.

There is this guy in the Services board who says he will submit your Tx into ViaBTC's accelerator for free, you could try requesting the acceleration in his thread here.

Option B: Pay for a service to accelerate your tx. Can be pretty expensive and not worth depending on the urgency of your transaction and the amount you are sending. Here is the url.

Yeah. I sent them a email explaining the situation. Now let's see if they answer me...
I have doubts on if they would accept to pay me because 344 waves is now worth ~0.68 BTC.

But I have nothing to lose so why not try?  

C+P from my Reddit thread on /r/Wavesplatform

So, one year ago I joined the Waves Signature Campaign in exchange for stakes on the Waves ICO.

Today I was talking with a friend and I told him about the cryptocurrency world and how you could make money just by following a project and following them on FB/Twitter for coins, etc.

Them I remembered about Waves and started searching my old stuff to see how much Waves I got from their ICO last year, so I could give me friend an example on how much you could get.

I found this article on how to claim your bounties and saw a link to the "Signature Campaign Payment Status" spreadsheet.

I remembered how I participated on the campaign and when I saw my name on the "Haven't yet claimed" page I remembered how I forgot to claim my rewards.

Does anyone know If would still be possible to claims those Waves somehow? I should receive 344 Waves.

In theory brain wallets should be safe to use.

I once thought that the real problem was that people are making up brainwallets with really poor choices of words. Electrum on the other hand selects 12 words randomly from a large word list, which is generally much, much safer.

There is this interesting article about the safety of those wallets: http://coin.furuknap.net/brainwallets-and-why-you-shouldnt/

But somehow they are not as safe as you think thery are, and people already have been robbed when using those wallets. https://arstechnica.com/security/2016/02/password-cracking-attacks-on-bitcoin-wallets-net-103000/

There is a list from this year (missing some cards ofc) about some of the debit cards available in the market.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410577.0

Some of them allow you to buy a limited card without needing to verify your account with your personal data.

UQUID also doesn't require a ID to have a card and isn't on the list: https://uquid.com and you can supposedly can get unlimited cards without having to create multiple accounts.

Yes. Basically that's how they work.

You only pay the fees when you successfully execute an order. So you can create and remove as much orders as you want when you want.

Why would you use them as a wallet? Can't you search properly before sending money to a random website and giving your money to strangers?

Look what I found after a quick search on google:

Next time do yourself a favour and use a safe wallet like Electrum.

This thread is already 1 year old and OP hans't been online for ~4 months. That's why the website isn't available anymore.

Since the project is gone and there is no source code, I suggest you to use balances.io since it has basically the same idea and it's working well. However, they unfortunally do not support all altcoins in the market.

I don't think so. I actualy did not express myself correctly.

I'm not sure if there is support for Trezor in Parity. But both hardware wallets can be used in MyEtherWallet or Geth. And they are not necessarily limited to those wallets.

https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-integration-with-myetherwallet-3e217a652e08

I also edited my previous post to answer your question about exporting your private key to Mist.

You can use both TREZOR and Ledger Nano S to store your ERC-20 tokens. In the case of Ledger, you will need to use it connected with MyEtherWallet, Geth or Parity.

https://trezor.io
https://www.ledgerwallet.com

You could probably export your private key from MyEtherWallet (https://www.myetherwallet.com/#view-wallet-info) and import them on another Ethereum wallet. For Mist try this: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/2552/is-there-a-way-to-manually-import-a-private-key-into-mist

I liked the simple and compact design.

But it also looks like you start with a amount of several coins already pre added. Maybe just remove all the coins already added by default when someone try to insert their first real coins?

It would also be good if there was a option to change the theme/colors from the website. I don't know if it's just me but the contrast from the clear green and red on the "Your assets" section with the background is hurting my eyes, so I would make them darker.

That's not necessary and overly paranoid. Using more mixers and online wallets won't make your transactions more anonymous. As I said before, all you need is to use a mixer.

Those mixers will only receive your coins and send other coins without any connection to the first ones to your wallet.

In case of ChipMixer, they are fully different from those regular mixers. The way they work, you are as safe as if you sent me 10 BTC and I gave you a paper wallet with another 10 BTC from 2 years ago. How could someone trace that Bitcoins back to you? It's not possible. And that's what you should be using.

If you really want to make your Bitcoins untraceable, you shouldn't be using this method because your coins can still be traced back to you.

Do you really want to anonymize your coins? Use chipmixer.io (TOR link);

- They don't require you to pay any fees when mixing (but you can donate something if you really like their service and want to support them)
- Your coins will become 100% ANONYMOUS. Not a single chance to trace the coins back to you from the blockchain.
- They are really legit. Don't even worry about losing any of your coins.

How simple is it? You send the coins, then you can split those coins in several (or just one) "chips" and withdraw them directly by importing in your wallet it's private keys loaded with that amount of BTC. You don't even need to wait the mixed coins to arrive a new wallet.

I legit recommend them. Not just because I am in their signature campaign but also because I really like the way they work and support them.

Check out their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1935098.0

Every address already exists in the network. When you create a new wallet, you are choosing a random private key which controls your new address. Because of that, you will be able to spend all the coins received and owned by that address. Something like that.

That's true.

Your wallet just designated that random address to you. Therefore, there is always a chance that someone generate an address you already controls, but this simple won't happen because there are near 2^160 addresses (~1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976) in the Bitcoin ecosystem, which means that it's near to impossible to generate the same address two times in a row.

I can't really comment on your question about the BIP38 encryption because I don't really know about the subject.
