I am thinking about setting up some masternodes. Does it still need only 112 8Bits to set it up?
The last time i checked (not in the forum) it was around 5k to 10k, i don't really remember, but there was a lot of syncing problems, was slow, and you could end-up syncing the wrong chain ! Now it is fixed, and syncing should be quicker. OP when do you expect to release some updates ? Thanks for the info, so I need to buy more 8bits!  Buy and hold, this coin was on top 10, and can seriously get back to it (especially because of PIVX and DASH) |

Currently supporting a lot of altcoins, i have some criterias for the selection :
LISK (i like the idea)
WAVE (sounds good)
NXS (i eally like the idea)
8BIT (reviving)
Aquarius Coin (legit, active dev)
LTC (nothing more to say)
DASH (because i hope it is not a scam)
NEM (good efforts)
Coins i don't support :
ETH/ETC (Very bad support, lack of integration, lack of nodes)
BTU (poor code, poor support, poor responces)
ARD (poor code, a scam at my eyes)
STEEM (pure scam)
PIVX (bubbling at release is a bad sign)
RIPPLE (too centralized)
XMR (poor integration efforts)
This is just a small list, not the full one, i could take hours to write it, but you can say that i am supporting half of altcoins (no shitcoin/Clone coin).

Well, supposing it is javascript, i suggest you to try https://www.blockcypher.comThey have a complete set of API calls who lets you do what you are looking for, i hope it is not for annother scam or HYIP program. By the way, what is this language ? or just a pseudo code ? |

Computer A: wallet.dat is corrupted, you should :
(found for windows)
1) create a folder named protoalt and keep it's path in mind
2)Copy all the files except your wallet.dat into the new folder
3) Create a .bat .sh to start the alternate you have created
3)start your client with -salvagewallet, this does exactly that.
4) once your wallet is recovered, start the alternate client, it will create a new wallet for you.
5) send coins to new wallet and use it as main one now.
Computer B: Database corruption, relaunch core with reindex=1 in bitcoin.conf and try it.
These are brand new wallets, I'm trying to get the app to sync from scratch, totally clean and fresh. I do have my old wallet files but this is before I even get to the point of trying to get at those coins. no problem, you can go with it even if new wallet.dat, sometimes it happens on fresh install, either on mac windows, linux or any other. |

Beware guys, the bubbles are bubbling, and soon they will explode, mayne experienced traders will tell you exactly like me, if the bubble is forming, then it is too late to jump in, you better wait for the bubble to explode.
Remember that DASH and ETH are manipulated cryptos, the dumps are normal because of scheme renewal, PIVX is new, so it is building the scheme for now, do not buy now, or play at your own risk.

Well, i love to play with these APIs, i could help you if you find any problem, just PM me. I suggest to add LISK, WAVE, LITECOIN, DASH, because they are promissing coins, with great concepts, except for litecoin, but it is interesting to watch this coin because since some weeks, things are mooving. You can use this API : https://www.cryptocompare.com/apiThanks again for the api - its now used on the page Nice, but you still need to work on the hashrate, maybe adding diff also is a good thing, to do this, as you are using wordpress, you can query the results in a separate .php file, and then call it using ajax request to your website, this way you will cover most of the important informations about a cryptocurrency. Great job, some typos should of the english website. |

i don't advise you to go for a website template, especially when it comes to handle people's money, or to get a buggy exchange on github unless you are experienced enough to solve these bugs yourself.
What ever you decide to do, you will have to code, it is mandatory for coins integration, and it is simple, just get the courage to jump in the rest will come by itself.

Comparing Poloniex and Bittrex, i found that PIVX is the source of bittrex's volume raising, so i don't think whales are back there, but some traders/evil investors are playing with some altcoin's price to pump it, it seems like a new bubble formed, and it will for sure crash hardly.
Whales are not idiots, they know this, so they won't follow bubbles, they are more creating them to cashout a maximum amount of cash.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin the best crypto? Why?
|
on: March 22, 2017, 03:48:53 PM

As we know, the king Bitcoin, mother of all crypto, is on a very stead bull rise. This time is not like 2013, the uptrend is slower, more controlled, and sustained over time. Ever massive selloffs like the few ones we have seen due the shady chinese government PBoC press releases, cannot stop bitcoin from going up. It always recovers stronger than before. All you have to do is keep buying all those dips.
The question arises: What's the point of holding alts? Not a single altcoin seems worth holding when BTC performs this good. Not a single altcoin is revolutionary enough to be a serious #1 contender. So what's the point in any case? might as well go all in on BTC.
1. BTC transaction capacity is already maxed out. Lightning will do the trick2. BTC is Wasting enormous amount of electricity and real estate storing ASICS. Energy efficiency wasn't a priority back in 20093. BTC Proof of Work is a Technical Dead End Well, true, but do you have annother offer ?4. BTC is already priced out of the micropayments industry , with the now ever increasing fees, it will price itself out of many Foreign markets. Lightning can takeover the micropayment system, or other projects also5. BTC is Centralized and Manipulated by China (Never know when they will have to sell to prop up the Yuan.) Centralized ? maybe, Manipulated i don't think at all6. BTC Miners are the only ones that can receive Transaction fees for processing blocks It is the same for all the coins, fees goes to workersI Hold ZEIT for the following reasons 1. ZEIT has 20X the Transactions Capacity as BTC 2. ZEIT is Energy Efficient. 3. ZEIT has enough coins to be affordable across the world. 4. ZEIT will own the micropayments industry. 5. ZEIT is economical to be maintained for a very small sum of fiat, unlike the millions required to keep BTC running. 6. ZEIT is changing to an Ultra Low Inflation coin , meaning the Price will rise 7. ZEIT is PoST (Proof of Stake Transactions) , Anyone that runs a wallets will be able to process a transaction fee when they stake.  8. And the Final Reason to Hold ZEIT's Upside Profit Potential is in the X1000000 range, with BTC even if it hits $10,000 per BTC, you limited to X10.  Aspects of some alt's may be better.. it's debatable of course but reasonable. You all need to envision the effects of BTC popularity applied to another coin. You all seem utterly blinded by it's price and popularity etc. And no BTC's greater adoption level does not prove it's "better". That just proves it was chosen over others.. and the fact it was the first pretty much means it had a hefty advantage getting to be no. 1. I am surprised all the guys here have not hammered this topic with the technical reasons why BTC is 2nd rate. The noobs are piling in saying it's better because ..they like it  The people you need to listen to are the experts on the technical side of things. I am not saying that is me either I added some bold notices to your post, in the overall, i agree with you about the reasons why someone should answer here, and that experts have the best answers, you can't judge a project because is famous, or adopted, or because the price is "skyrocketing". Only fools invests because in a coin because it is "cool" or "funy". |

I know it is part of the campaign to post atleast once a week here but the amount of shit posting going on from the members of the campaign itself is quite hilarious.I mean come on ,if you have nothing nice to say just post that instead of derailing the official casinos thread with off topic gambling discussions.Its silly to see the last few pages of the thread are just posts from signature campaignesrs from this campaign.
Because people doesn't know what to say, sometimes i give them so ideas about security, and many users just jumps in and says how the platform is secure (untill now it is true). Joel, feel free to share some of your experiences on bitdice. I will share some wishes : Alex, could you please consider my help for the platform (i am sure that other campaign members are devs). It would be nice to have a better login form. Chatbox is nice, but can be upgraded. A tutorial for the other games would be greatly appreciated, i tested them, but don't really understands how does it works. Thank you. |

sometimes i read comments that i can't even understand where you even got the idea of saying those things! What I observe is the price of these coins, how fast dash and ethereum growing
so are you trying to say that since the price of these coins rise fast that makes them good. that logic is broken my friend. and besides if you take a quick look at the history of these coins and other 1000 coins like them you can see the same patterns repeat over and over again. while we know bitcoin stuck somewhere and can't move any further
again, you are expecting an ever-rising-market and let me break your illusion and tell you that this kind of market doesn't exist anywhere in the world. price goes up with more adoption and when it is fast there is a correction. and in small bitcoin market there are manipulations that causes a bigger correction. since the problem still unsolved.
what problem? the only problems that bitcoin has are FUD, weak hands, and spam attack which can not go on forever and the only result of it is a little bit higher fees. the rest of the things you "hear" are bullshit and political to take the power and none of them will ever happen. Another thing I notice : ethereum has been around for years and proven as good coin, it is reliable coin which offers good idea of course.
you are using words without meaning how is Ethereum reliable? it is centralized and it has bugs and exploitable features. you said good ideas. ok, which one of them you are even aware of? which one of them have you even used? i have lots of good ideas too, but unless they become reality and put to use, they remain just that, "ideas". Dash coin still unclear for me due to so many people said it is a scam project, but the price seems pretty high right now, so tempting.
price being high, in other words going high so fast is not tempting it is a big ass warning. a warning to stay away because there is a bubble forming. and it doesn't matter what market it is. Dash, ETH, BTC, Gold, Silver,... fast rise means you lost your chances to get in, now stay alert because a dump is coming when bubble bursts. of course you can always still get in but the risks are much higher and you will most probably lose lots of money. You are a wise men, and you really know bitcoin, yes, for now there is only FUD around him, with people like Roger Ver attacking the network because he is failing with ethereum. As someone said in the forum (i suppose it is iamnotback) dash's scheme is like steem's scheme, even if the price is going up right now, it means that an equal or superior dump is comming, slow but steady price rising means the coin is stable and adopted, which means that it is time to get in. Do not forget that coins like Dash, ETH, are easy to manipulate, even bitcoin's price be faked, pick an exchange, any one with low volume and dump it here, you will cause the price calculators to show fake values, thus people who invested in bitcoin will sell, and it will create a mini dump. As i always said, price isn't a reference at all for a coin, price is just what people agrees to pay to get the coin, nothing more, nothing less. |

JS is turning to a Machine Language, this is why there are so much concurring packages, but maybe it is not that bad, at least we have a large pannel of solutions.
Destroys maintainability. Btw, I am also vying for using JavaScript for apps, but with some changes. Experimentation is great, as long at it is contained into a sandbox environment, it is one of the points i don't agree on with ethereum, they released and experiment and attributed a value to its token, basically people invest on experiment. It can radically change at any moment, and the usage of javascript in the console is just irrelevant because of the JSON interface. Experimentation in a sandbox is not real experimentation. You have to build things in the wild to know if they really work and what they do. It is analogous to in vitro versus in vivo experimentation with medicines. Perhaps you are the type of person who prefers the anal orderly ordiness of the German or some northern European perfectionist? It is good for closed-source design (e.g. German engineered industrial products), but not very good for open source. Lisk is a great project, and i really believe they are a serious competitor to Bitcoin, have a look at this list goregeous API : https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-wiki/wiki/Lisk-API-ReferenceEverything you need is here, their support is awesome, i talked with them on slack and asked for some support, who answered ? the CEO, this is a great approach to users. I follow them closely because i know they will realise great things if they keep moving the way they are doing. Quick glance it appears to be well done. But it doesn't look like a very complex thing to design. Basically I could readily find 100s of devs who could create that. But there are not 100s of Vitaliks readily available. I agree specifically on the last point, Lisk, Waves, Rise are comming from the same guys, i am sure about that even if i don't really have proofs.
I don't think Waves have real chances, but lisk yes, again, look at the API documentation, they will go far.
I am not the kind of user who judges a project because it can be integrated, many aspects have to be taken in count, and "multi-platform" isn't an argument at all, it is made with JS.
Well Lisk is apparently getting at least advice from Charles Hoskinson's IOHK. But they have another problem which is Ethereum has more eyeballs and thus more apps are built, thus more eyeballs, thus more apps, ... Copycoins have nearly 0 chance to succeed. Perhaps Lisk will find a unique niche or opportunity. You are right, i support in vitro experiments befor in vivo, and i know that open source projects usually releases the code in Alpha (generally) and then with the help of contributors walks to a production release. but doesn't it sounds more logical ? well, i am perfectionist it is true. I like clean codes, organised, easy to read and explore. Totally agree on the fact that, Lisk haven't yet released anything exeptional, as i said, i have a Lisk node, it is just nodeJS runing with a database environment, really nothing exceptional, but maybe in the futur releases they will bring some cunning functions to their code. They offer exactly the same as ethereum for now, in a different environment, with user oriented methods. A steady update stream, and scaling capacities. Basically, you can create a lisk node in any nodeJS application easily, because it is made with NodeJS, this is why i think comparaison with ethereum stops here. Lisk is raiding a popular language, ethereum is still fetching (because i don't understand why they made eth-cpp eth-go ...). Yesterday i discovered a great website/application, gitbook, they use electron for their software packaging because it is made in javascript (and some go), lisk can do the same to integrate with nodejs. Can ethereum do it ? (without any API) I doubt, bitcoin can do it (aleready doing it) |

but why you dont use a cms for building your site? the most populars have modules of allmost everything
cms couldn't been edit freely IMO.Anyway,do you have a powful cms else?thanks for your suggestion. i havent tried wordpress that is the most used, but with drupal you can make a lot of things just by click and adding the needed modules, but if none suit you , you can modify it by coding your specifics needs Do you mean modify it on the base of the source of wordpress or something else? No need for a source to start, just be imaginative, let me give you some clues : 1- Coin daemon 2- Backend management 3- Easy frontend 4- Hand made 5- Payment processors 6- Do not use an API You should also consider the legal stuff if you want to use FIAT to trade cryptos depending on the country you live in (if you want to use your local currency), and especially check each countries policy regarding trading/exchange from foreign countries (USA have regulations for that, i suppose EUR also). The basic function is, a user login to your exchange, requests an address, sends coins, then issues either an ASK or BID request, you store the request and hold the funds, then it is processed with a price match engine. Or the user commes in, and asks to deposit FIAT using bank wire (i don't advise you to use this mode) or credit card (can create troubles) or payment processors (good idea and easy to implement like payeer, payza, skrill, nettler ...) Then again, the engines must process the demands for orders that can be matched. You have several options regarding the language, just pick the one you feel the most comftable with. |

It also depends on what kelly multiplier you are investing at.
Yeah, very true. If you are investing at the max 5x kelly multiplier you will see much more movement than you would with lower kelly multipliers. It goes both ways though and can make investing a bit more risky as you can also lose faster when players are winning. Yes and higher multiplier means that we will take more risks and actually quite a unique feature which I have never seen before. I have seen like many sites that accept investments but this is the first one where we have the remote control in our hand. I think rather than gambling we should just invest at a high kelly multiplier, isn't it much better than actually gambling ? It depends on your luck, if you are good enough at gambling, it can prove to be better then investing. Remeber that it is a risk taken by investors because Bitdice sometimes wins, and some times, looses. As an investor you share both profits and looses. I aleready sasw some guys betting 200 bitcoins, it sounds crazy, but maybe they got them a while ago. |
