81  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you believe that forking will give you 2 coins worth more than 1 coin on: July 28, 2017, 07:01:13 PM
I think everyone already know that your bitcoin value won't be doubled because BCC price is already low and many people are ready to dump BCC for quick profit before the price is crashed.
In fact, i think BCC couldn't alive because there's no support like what ETC community did.

I believe the best to do is to sell these BCC coins faster as possible, at least that is what I'm thinking to do... I can be wrong, but seems it will be just like trash AltCoins. If we are able to sell it for $300 at least, it's already a good profit. If we wait too much there is a high risk to take only $50 profit on it.  Cheesy

I would not pay even a 1 sat for this.

I see no merit in BCC, but I am fairly confident that there are enough potential buyers who will take a chance on having an Ethereum Classic level of success.

I'll stick to BTC myself, and sell off my BCC for whatever they are going for.

I wouldn't buy now if it required loading funds to an exchange.  It all seems a bit fuzzy how they are going to handle things, and your funds could still be in flight in the early August time frame.

If I already had fiat on an exchange, I wouldn't hesitate to buy some BTC (before Aug 1) and move them to safety in a hardware or paper wallet.

@crypto-rainbow
                                   
When will you run checking scrypt? So we can check if we are good for round two...

We improved lately our check status results

https://deeponion.org/check_status.php

now we return more data. just use your userid and wallet and see more about current and past status.

 if there nothing writes such as 'blacklisted' banned etc then you are safe Smiley

Not sure what you mean about you return more data. When I imput my user ident number and my wallet
addrese I can see same as before that my status is accepted.
Did i miss something or what?
And how we can check how many posts with 100 characters we have?
Thanks in advance and best regards

Just adding to this feedback, i'm not seeing the enhanced check_status results either - still just showing 'accepted', nothing about current and past status.

Why haven't my Onion been sent to my online Onion adress? It's been 15 hours.
I had no time to do a backup of my Onion wallet on the computer (and I didn't know how, had no time to learn), thought it's better to just send it all to Onion web wallet and then transfer back, but they never arrived!
Here's the proof I've sent them:






That web wallet has nothing to do with the project I don't think.

I'd be VERY hesitant to transfer some Onion to them at this stage, that would be like moving your bitcoins to some brand new exchange - www.itakeyourbitcoins.com - and expecting them to be safe.

Let some other folks establish they are credible and trustworthy. For now keep the onion in your wallet.

I think they did the snapshot again, because I received the airdrop on an address which didn't have a balance till this morning.

Well that sucks big time. When you say something you must mean it.
Now I missed the airdrop and my coins are stuck waiting to get credited on cryptopia for more than a day

Yeah that's just fantastic.

I initiated the BTX move to cryptopia after the snapshot was announced as complete.

Now my BTX are not in my personal wallet, and still not in cryptopia (I hope they show up somewhere at some time), and I missed out on Airdrop because the snapshot was redone.

Please don't do snapshots twice, or please work with your exchanges so they work properly.  Two issue like that outstanding at once isn't doing your reputation for competence much good.
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] DeepOnion TOR Integrated, No ICO/Crowdfund, Free Airdrop 2nd Round Jul 28 on: July 25, 2017, 03:01:47 PM
People deleting their directories and stuff to update the wallet, need to pay attention! You can back up your wallet file, but to be 100% safe, you should get your private key(s). With your private key you can access you account from anywhere at anytime, and its easy to write it down on paper in case of hardware failure. 

You are right, if something went wrong and i cant restore the backup.
How can i export my PrivateKey? I can only Backup my Wallet as i see. Or over the RPC console?

Within your wallet client console, to get your private key just type in dumpprivkey WALLET_ID_HERE, if you have multiple accounts within your wallet do that for all of them. Then when you want to import your key(s) to a wallet you just type in importprivkey WALLET_ID_HERE into console. I would recommend doing all this when wallets are fully sync'd.

This is apparently blindingly obvious to everyone else...but what wallet client console?  I don't see anything in the options that looks like it will open a console where I can enter that command.

Yes, but you understand that if I'd like to have 200 onions because I'm convinced of their future rise I'd rather spend 4$ to buy them on market than to work for 2 days for a 200 onions bounty....

Logically it's true what you said, but please be reminded that mining cost is some where around 10 cents per onion, so the bottom line is drawn already. (miners will buy at price below their cost instead of mining)

if mining cost is some where around 10 cents as you said,then the actual price will definitely more lower than that because you forgot to counting the  pos staking's coins with zero cost,i feel a big face palm to those miners...haha

Not sure I follow. Mined coins also stake, so yes, mining costs 10 cents per coin right now, but is actually lower if you hold the coins for staking.

Same for a coin that you would buy for 10 cents at an exchange, it costs 10 cents at the moment of purchase, but the price is lower if you take future staking into account.

Still means anyone wanting to sell would get 10 cents for their coins (in this hypothetical example)

10 cents is on the lowend for mining based on what I'm seeing.  I'd certainly be buying at 10c right now, instead of going thru the hassle of dealing with nicehash.

I suspect some of the other airdrop recipients (who have no interest or knowledge of mining) might like to make some purchases once we get on an exchange - so barring bad news I'd consider 10c a reasonable floor.

We have to remember a lot of Bitcointalk members have huge BTC holdings.  If they think Deeponion has a future they might threw a few hundred dollars just to get a good sized amount of it early on (that 90% hold rule on airdrops is a great motivation to buy unrestricted onions I think)

Cryptopia's BTX wallet maintenance "Pending wallet update after protocol change"
WTF???

I did a big BTX send 30 minutes ago to Cryptopia and it's not showing up yet.  Not even in pending!  Has some confirmations showing on the wallet size though.

Hope it gets there before this rounds post AIRDROP dump!

OK let me briefly reply to some concerns that people raised. All concerns are valid concerns, but please express them in a positive way. Any questions can be asked, but please do so in a positive and constructive way that will help the community. I had to delete some very negative-tone posts, as some people said, the intention of these posts are sometimes doubtful.

We want positive energy to the community. We are on the same boat, the coin's success is your success, is our success. That's the main reason we chose to distribute freely instead of an ICO. Therefore, we urge people to help and to construct, and not to destruct. If someone constantly post negatives, we'll have to remove him from the airdrop, as we don't want to distribute coins to those who don't support our community, this is in the best interests of all of us as a team.

Now on the staking: all the coins we hold are staking as possible. Often, when we distribute or send bounties (as we constantly do, because we get so many people to help from the community, to create tutorials, to create videos, to find bugs etc - we send all of them bounties), the staking gets interrupted. The staking we get from the 70% to be distributed stays with that account, and in the end any leftovers we may decide to increase the last few airdrops, and/or to compensate some over-pay than planned in the airdrops. For example, the first airdrop we planned to distribute 150K, the actual amount distributed is more, this is because we had to compensate some people whose ranking increased, and also we had to distribute to some people initially declined because of our software bug that did not count some posts correctly (especially those with a lot quotes). As these staking are pretty irregular, we'll keep them in the same accounts, and we'll report the left overs when the airdrops come to the last few where we probably will adjust the details.  

The dev team puts enormous effort to help the community and develop the coin. I hope we all be on the same page and look forward to grow the coin. We are not going to publish details of each account. The experiences we have is that the more we publish, the more people will post negatives. There are always some people just never be happy. For them, we'll probably just need to ignore. I'll be happy to answer more questions if you have, but please be positive and help the community. And let's stop this topic here.

I think the devs have stated what they are doing quite clearly.  If you feel them staking makes it not worthwhile for you to stake, then simply don't leave your wallet running.

It may not be the optimal outcome for the network, but I don't think it's fair to imply the devs are doing anything shady!  They aren't hiding what they are doing.

Not many of the facebook generation are going to give up the ability to pull a smell device out of their pocket wherever they maybe to check their friends status/update their location.

I don't see any smart phone alternatives to that coming anytime soon.
You underestimate technological processes. Smartphones are pretty much at their limits already and VR/AR are largely where smartphones were at during the first iPhone. By the time VR/AR will be ripe for the mainstream, brain interfaces should be roughly where VR/AR are now.
In 10-20 years you wouldn't recognize the world anymore if you fell into a coma today.

Plausible! I don't think most folks will revert to basic phones though, which was OPs contention.

I can foresee a brain interface device - though I suspect the average joe will still call them phones!
92  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: July 24, 2017, 07:50:31 AM
Directly from the Transition Bot, when I linked a new BTC change address just now:
Quote
For the bytes you hold on August 7 you receive 0.2 new byte for each 1 byte of your balance, even if your bytes are not on linked Byteball addresses.

You also receive 0.42222 blackbytes for each 1 byte of your balance on the linked Byteball address, which currently is:
So, you get 0.2 byte per 1 byte... even if that address isn't linked... however, the 0.42222 blackbytes are ONLY for linked ByteBall addresses.

Ok good deal.  Don't want to miss out on my GB, not so fussed about the GBB - doesn't seem like folks are putting much of a value on those judging by some of the price quotes I've seen.

Has anyone made a point of swapping some of their GB for more GBB? (essentially betting that GBB is the real future of this coin)

Have they announced what they plan to do with their $230ish million yet? I still haven't see any updates that include a plan for more than their 'moonshot' target of $20 million - that one leaves them with $200 million in the petty cash drawer...
94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any new airdrop coins? on: July 24, 2017, 12:09:22 AM
One more airdrop running, this one is valid until 31/07/2017.

Maximum 700 users limit. It's based on Waves, so you must have a waves address and send a PM, you can check it in here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2041499.0

This one a true airdrop, not a signature program/airdrop?  As you can see I've already signed up to one of those - only so much signature space to go around!!

Wish i had space for a whole signature page:)

I'm using Protonmail. Based in Switzerland and accept payments on Bitcoin for their Pro upgrades.

Thanks, what would you consider the main benefits protonmail has over countermail?  Does it have unlimited aliases if you setup your own domains there?
96  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Secure Email Recommendations? on: July 23, 2017, 11:51:49 PM
What's wrong with gmail? I believe they are the most trusted, secured and widely used email providers. You can go for Google's paid mail service if you are not happy with their free version which most people widely use. I bet you will like their paid service, where you can bind your  domain with gmail too.
Maybe because he wants privacy?

Yep, I don't really want google (and whomever it feels like reporting too) reading thru my emails figuring out how to monetize me. 

It doesn't mean I'm doing anything illegal either, it's just the idea of it bothers me.
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: July 23, 2017, 11:48:20 PM
After linking don't send any transactions, even to yourself, because it will move the remaining bytes to a new change address that won't be linked. Additionally if you are making a backup you need to do a new backup after every outgoing transaction. The reason is the same (bytes are moved to a change address that is not backed up). To sum up: after every outgoing transaction you need to make a new backup and a new linking.

Furthermore a new backup is necessary after receiving every blackbytes transaction because blackbytes are stored on a local device only. If you don't make a backup after receiving blackbytes you won't be able to recover them if you loose access to the device.

I thought all wallets (whether linked or not) were going to get the blackbytes 20% bonus, and that it was only folks  trying to claim for having BTC that needed to link.  Is that statement inaccurate?

Is anyone purchasing paid (obviously) email hosting with their BTC?

Any recommendations on providers - pros/cons?

I know countermail offers it.  Do folks generally consider them secure? do they have any competitors in the field?

Free money to signup is always good.

I have better things to do with my time than gamble, but if sites want to give me a chunk of money for spinning some colorful slot machine, or flipping card on screen - well they are paying me so I'll do it:)
