Do you guys have experience of these blockchain courses?

MIT and Oxford (cost tons) offered one but I am not sure which one is better. Or the ones on edX are much cheaper.


In fact there are already several threads that focus on this precise topic, I leave you the links below.

Sounds good, but if it' s using Coinbase as an intermediary it' s not that impressive, literally any company could implement it.

While I don't know how convenient a non-custodial implementation would be if the owners of the email are the ones protecting their private keys, literally anything can go wrong.

Sin embargo una de las soluciones puede ser mover los Bitcoins a direcciones seguras y habiendo realizado todo este procedimiento las direcciones inseguras quedarían inutilizables.

Hola.

¿Cómo se sabe cuáles direcciones son seguras y cuáles no?

Un saludo.

EDITO: ¿Las direcciones generadas en https://www.bitaddress.org son seguras?

Creo que se refiere a direcciones antiguas tipo Bob pays Alice, generadas hace mucho que no han movido sus Bitcoins, en caso de un posible vector de ataque cuántico lo que se tiene previsto es mudar esos Bitcoins nuevas direcciones que tengan una encriptación diferente robusta ante la computación cuántica. Pero al ser direcciones dormidas durante tantos años no hay certeza de si los dueños moverán sus Bitcoins y por lo tanto se toman como vulnerables.

145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who holds the most bitcoins? on: December 21, 2019, 03:59:43 AM
I've always been interested in this question, but I found a lot of confusing information.
I recently came across this article in Quora, and I wonder how accurate and verified this information is: https://www.quora.com/Who-holds-the-most-bitcoins
According to this article, it seems that Satoshi holds the most bitcoins, between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC.
The following are the Winklevoss brothers, with 91,666 bitcoin.
Next is Barry Silbert with 48,000 BTC.
Next in order are Tim Draper with $250,000 worth of BTC and Michael Novogratz with his crypto net worth to be around $700 million – $1 billion.
Do you agree with this assessment from the article or do you have more credible and accurate information?

This list may not be exact, but it gives you an idea of the 100 richest Bitcoin addresses. You don't need to know who has the most Bitcoins, all you need to know is which addresses have the biggest amount of Bitcoins and how long they've been inactive.

Assuming you want to use it as an indicator of a trend reversal in the market or other analysis related to large movements of bitcoins.

149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Venezuela & The Bitcoin on: December 20, 2019, 08:36:39 AM
PDVSA still gets EUR and USD via proxy countries. Most of the export to the US stopped when Trump seized Citgo anyway.

One slight correction, Citgo was never seized by the US state or anything else.
Furthermore, the Office of Foreign Assets Control has declined Conoco's claims of shares in Citgo because it might go against the sanctions imposed by the Government.  So at this point, Citgo is quite safe and is making millions in profit.

This is the same data that is represented in the article referenced in the OP, but in BTC (despite what the chart’s title says – it doesn’t seem to adjust properly when switching between VES and BTC):

As always s story about nothing.
If you make a graph of how many bolivars people of Venezuela have spent for bread it will look like they are eating x1000 more bread that three years ago.
I really wish coindance would have the option of showing not only VES and BTC but also the volume in USD, so we could have a better view.

They could have implemented something as simple as that but they haven't and therefore encourage yellow journalists, if you genuinely wish to follow the evolution of the Bitcoin market in Venezuela use yadio.io is a site run by Venezuelans who truly understand what's going on.

https://yadio.io/
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Venezuela & The Bitcoin on: December 20, 2019, 02:11:00 AM
Then again, since exchanges report fake volume sometimes, perhaps this data is inaccurate as well. As far as I know, the majority of the population is leaving below the poverty line and unemployment is at 30%.Unfortunately, in such a terrible situation, I don't think Bitcoin can help Venezuela or vice versa.

Sometimes it is really a little funny to me when Bitcoin connects with Venezuela in every way possible, either as the savior of the entire monetary system of the country or as some straw of the salvation of ordinary people. Although the percentage of unemployed is very large, the minimum wage in August was only $2 which is really not enough for any kind of life. It should also be noted that more than one million people have left the country in recent years.

Bitcoin can't help Venezuela, they need a lot more than that, above all, they need a miracle - and we all know that miracles happen very rarely, especially if you have bad relations with the masters of the world.

miracles doesn't happen when a country's situation is like Venezuela against the masters of the world who just want to milk the country. UK and US are against their current leader. their government doesn't have much option since Chavez death but even so they can still be the top oil exporter.  the country can produce more oil for China but these UK and US doesn't like that. and they will bring Marudo down. but BTC will serve their economy to be stable. they do have the resources, they can ignore all if they are just unified.


Hey all of you who talk crap, do any of you live in Venezuela? Of course you not!

I live in Venezuela and I can talk properly about what's going on in my country, more importantly, I belong to an organization that is putting the skin in the game trying to promote Bitcoin in my country.

Bitcoin is undoubtedly a method of payment that is becoming increasingly popular in Venezuela, all thanks to the legal framework that the government is trying to create, and you know what's best we don't give a damn.

The truth is that Venezuela has not broken any records in a long time.

The problem is that journalists use bolivars to measure Bitcoin purchase transactions but do not take into account the country's inflation. A more adequate measure of the volume is to use the dollar, with its value indexed after the open market (generally known as the black market) BSF/USD conversion.

Using the data provided by Yadio.io, a website that tracks the actual price of the dollar-based on Bitcoin's buy/sell transactions through LocalBitcoins gives us a better perspective.


According to their data, 294,682,299 million dollars were exchanged in a year, this gives us a figure of at least 24.56 million dollars exchanged each month, 5.66 million dollars a week and about 800,000 dollars on average per day.

That's at least $33,640 every hour, that's a tiny amount of money compared to big exchanges in other countries.

Bitcoin is being used by average people in Venezuela, and this solid data shows that their buying interest has not ceased despite having gone through a brutal bear market, we are using Bitcoin as a tool to protect ourselves from this corrupt government, as intended by Satoshi Nakamoto.

The numbers in Bolivars are nothing more than a proof that bad money will always be exchanged for good money and that bad money will always lose value and more of it will be needed to obtain good money.

Es imposible no dedicar recursos a I+D en este terreno si ves que tu negocio está en peligro real de sufrir un revolcón en los próximos años. La máximo de si no puedes con tu enemigo únete a él se aplica, y todas las grandes corporaciones con dos dedos de frente están dedicando recursos a ello, en muchas ocasiones de la mano de sus partners tecnológicos (consultoras).

De la misma manera que dedicaron recursos al Big Data (no vaya a ser que tuviese algo que permitiese adelantar a un competidor), ahora con más razón deben ponerse las pilas, ante una amenaza de cambio del paradigma en su modelo de negocio.

Hace un tiempo leí una frase que decía cuando las finanzas tradicionales o los boomers se unan a Bitcoin/Blockchain van a arruinarlo, espero que eso no pase, pero la movida de los bancos tratando de usar DLT para hacer sus transacciones, Los países usando monedas estables basadas en blockchain o sus derivados y/o cualquier otro organismo que la industria financiera.

Lo que más me molesta es que todo indica que ellos van a usar las propiedades de transparencia de la tecnología para perseguir y censurar cuando en sus únicos los cypherpunks crearon toda esta movida precisamente para evitarlo.

Esto es un problema bastante grave esto significa que muchas de sus direcciones dejaran de funcionar y no podrán hacer transacciones en la red, si esto es a nivel de protocolo no sé qué es lo que intentan, ya que el P2H se utiliza para crear direcciones de manejo con opciones diferentes al típico pago de Alice-BoB.

Si no que permiten crear una serie de jerarquías de claves privadas para el manejo de una organización, exchange, o custodio en este caso.

No he leido como funciona y mira que lo explican en sus foros  Cheesy
Creo que es tipo coinjoin

Respecto a DeepSend veo que utilizan una dirección de 3 firmas y no utilizan ningún nuevo método de encriptacion la verdad no termine entendiendo bien, solo me pareció que hacían una relación entre los nodos y hacían el pago, una vez realizado el pago uno de los nodos recibía el dinero y "al parecer" no quedaban registros del pago en el sistema, pero si hay un nodo rouge ¿que quiera guardar los pagos? como se hace en ese caso, ¿es posible ese vector de ataque?

Ten en cuenta que los nodos funcionan a través de TOR

Bitcoin también utiliza TOR en sus nodos, esto no es realmente garantía de anonimato.

Me he echado un clavado en el white paper de deeponion (https://deeponion.org/downloads/whitepaper.pdf) y ahí nos comentan que su anonimato se debe a 2 tecnologías 'DeepSend' y 'Stealth  Addresses'. Así que alguien se voló algunas ideas de Monero :p

Me ha gustado aprender mas sobre esta moneda, se ve interesante.

DeepSend funciona a través de direcciones multifirmas, aquí "no entiendo" como hacen la transacción para mí un resumen rápido es que se crea un canal al estilo LN, a través de dos nodos en la red y esta queda saldada y no quedan rastros que ocurrió esta, aunque si funciona de manera muy parecida debería quedar rastros al cerrar el canal.

Respecto a las direcciones blindadas, cuando tú las das recibes las monedas en otras direcciones que son direcciones normales lo cual "creo" hace inutilizan el hecho de utilizar direcciones blindadas ya que de alguna manera queda rastro del movimiento solo que bajo otra "dirección"

I don't hablamos espagnol muy bien so not sure to have understood correctly

Apparently, we are not allowed to use their services, I suppose that is due to the OFAC sanctions, although it seems very strange to me since "it is supposed" that the sanctions are for members of the regime of MADURO  and his government.

Although large financial institutions in the United States are allowed to do some operations with major public institutions in Venezuela, until 2020. As specified in the following license.

A few days ago I was looking for a VCCs service and it seems Coinsbee fulfills all my requirements, but I have one question left.
Do you know if these VCCs works from Venezuela?  I mean can I give my Venezuela address?

I haven't noticed if Venezuela is listed there or not but I know that there is no kind of verification, only your email will be used later to send you a link to access your account.

You can ask Coinsbee just to be on the safe side: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182163.0

I didn't know they had a topic in the forum, I asked them already, I will wait for their answer, although that escapes their hands because it seems Prepaiddigitalsolutions is the one who has the final decision.

Hey, a few days ago OmegaStarScream created a thread where he recommended your VCC's service, and I asked him if a Venezuelan citizen could request them, do you know if it is possible to use them from Venezuela to make purchases over the internet?

I ask this because Venezuela is on the list of countries sanctioned by the *OFAC, however, these sanctions are for specific institutions of the Venezuelan government and some companies.

Aunque puede ser el fenómeno de Bakkt, también el hecho de estar cerca el halving pone presión sobre mineros que hicieron mal sus cálculos y utilizaron prestamos, financiación para sus operaciones.

Algo que también esta influyendo y casi nadie toma en cuenta es el hecho del aumento de opciones a nivel institucional, tradicionalmente las opciones son un instrumento que sirve para protegerse en eventos de caídas de precio para operaciones como la minería por ejemplo sean rentables. Esto tiene efectos sobre el precio empujándolo a la baja y/o bajando la volatilidad.

Supongo que el punto de infección sin duda es el halving donde realmente veremos como se comportara el mercado luego de dejar gran parte de las maquinas inútiles al reducir su rentabilidad al 50%, esto puede causar pánico.
