FWIW this is all false.
Yes it's true the preimage for us only "exists" is known once the invoice is settled, because YOU have to reveal it in order to claim the payment that was made to the payment_hash (a hash of the PREIMAGE)

It's generated by your lightning software, but various implementations will allow you to set a custom preimage, and even if they didn't there'd be a way to do so.

Since a preimage is really just the equivalent of a random sha hash, you could start with a good secret and then make a hash of a hash n times, and replay that. Once the new bet is placed you can reveal the old hash to everyone in order to prove you're not alternating between hash chains.
Now that I think about it, this might be less than ideal since the kth+1 hash will be the payment_hash of the kth hash, though I don't see how this could be exploited really, just a funny gimmick.

I think you genuinely seem to misunderstand how payments are done through the lightning network, so I don't really get all the negative vibes in this thread here.

If you want multiple currencies you should probably look into a payment processor such as coinpayments or btcpayserver.
If you just want BTC, use bitcoin core. Assign an address to a user and enable walletnotify. On deposit you will get notified and you can process the deposit however you like. Should be scalable.

Mysql and NodeJS should work perfectly fine?
OP you should do this yourself unless you want to shell out a couple thousand dollars. Run a full node, choose a language (JS) and enable walletnotify.
Assign address to user and let walletnotify hit a certain internal route (/make-deposit) where you credit the deposit and store the new balance in your DB.

Bad idea. the work will be half-assed and you will have no idea whether or not it functions correctly.
If I were you I would look into btcpayserver for certain deposit logic and then just keep track of balances using mysql.

This is not simple. You're asking someone to write a front-end that has sound registration logic, so a backend and mail server? and crypto payment logic. If you want this done well it's gonna cost you.

Pretty sure this guy was arrested earlier. I think there's actually two people of age 29 that got arrested, one of whom being the developer of TC.

You can use google ?
I'm pretty sure at least some people have audited the contract code since then. Tornado cash was fully decentralized, non-custodial, unlike most of these garbage mixers. perhaps there is a way to backdoor the cryptography they use (zk-snark), no idea.

Does this thread answer your questions?

Hmm. It's not foulproof but I guess you could publish all of the received individual donations in terms of invoices (and sum the amounts)? If you exclude a certain invoice then that would be proveable by the individual who paid the invoice as he could reveal the invoice (which is routed to your node's pubkey) + secret?

Not sure what this would prove as it does not at all imply that you used the donated funds as intended, something that could much easier be tracked if you were to be using an on-chain address.
though here you could also most definitely probably publish the invoice of it going to charity xyz's node (along with the secret to prove it was infact paid)

I mean it would be a cool feature notwithstanding that I personally have never seen a case where this could have prevented anything. Critical reading skills should prevent people from getting away with misquoting people, and lying about the contents of dms (or denying the existence thereof) would just cause a standoff where one party would look silly after theymos or any moderator? checks their PMs.

I'm guessing this might not happen in low-profile cases which I imagine would be the only reason something like this might be useful, but really in 99% of the cases it is immediately obvious who's the scammer and who's the actual affected party. And again, if it turns out to not be that simple I imagine it would not be that hard for a mod to check the pms manually.

I think the threat alone of an admin checking the actual contents of a pm would already make manipulation with on-site communication (pms) fairly unattractive, especially for more senior users. And really, wouldn't such a feature just cause a shift to other messaging apps like Telegram? Hard to see what exactly would be solved.

Perhaps development efforts would be better spent on finally making it look like this forum didn't come straight out of 2007, and more like their modern counterparts.

seconds since epoch?

I have always been curious: do you have some sort of custom software with proxies that creates social media accounts and then have workers fill in the recaptcha and then you use those accounts to complete orders, or are you a reseller from another panel?

Or is it some sort of botnet where you use other people's legitimate social media?


Anyway the only thing that matters for these panels is price. Market is completely saturated with a lot of big players with bigger pockets than you. It seems to me that you're reselling? Gonna have a hard time.

There's some discussion here

If it's any help i'm pretty sure that blockchain.com uses https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn nowadays for their password strength guesstimation. Not sure if they also did so back in 2014 though and how it is implemented.

I don't fully understand the issue, from the looks of your debug.log your RPC can't bind to the port specified in your bitcoin.conf (which is also the default port, so the command is redundant?), though it seems that this has not interfered with the syncing of your wallet and thus does not relate to your networking issues?



It's been a while since i prodded around and I currently don't have my node synced to try and replicate this getnetworkinfo output

The only thing I can think of is that the is not correctly cancelling out the
Or that your conf file is indeed not loaded at all.

Reduce the number of parameters to just and see if that resolves the issue.

Parse the json? (.json())

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Response/json

So you're saying that you are the one who initiated these transactions with 1 Input -> 1 Output and are just wondering why the fees are so high, basically?



Uhh, the miner that mined your transaction?


http://de.schildbach.wallet/ ? Never heard of it and it won't load either. If this wallet does not allow you to set custom fees I would suggest switching.

edit: seems to be a pretty respected Android wallet.

you need to define rows (const rows = client.query) before iterating

or maybe you can do what you're doing right now but use for r in result ?

But, errrm, what does this have to do with bitcoin? Don't think this is a general technical discussion board. Use Stackoverflow in the future.


I seriously hope you're not paying him per hour

Something like Arakne bot is the closest that comes to mind but you probably want to avoid these kinds of trading with your funds unless you know who the operator is.

And more traditional "stockmarket-trading" using crypto obviously don't make much sense on a large scale given the regulations one as an operator of these hedge funds would have to deal with.

Personally I would also love to see real BTC/Stock pairs (I think there was an exchange in the past kinda offering this, but required kyc, forgot their name) but I highly doubt we will ever see this in a decentralized/kyc-free fashion (probably when hell freezes over )

Should probably give a bit more info, I assume you're using the GUI?

If you don't open the wallet for a couple weeks it seems logical to me that it might show that it is out of sync, because it is.

I assume you didn't change the paths inbetween now and when you succesfully used the wallet for a couple months?

A command-line approach (what I would do) would be to first check if your bitcoin core instance is synced. then load the wallet.dat and check the balance.

So start bitcoind from command line using whatever bitcoin.conf or startup options concerning your paths to your external drive,


...


Hm. This is probably not ideal for a beginner.

What you should do is back up your wallet.dat to a secure location before you do anything. If nothing works out you can always load the wallet.dat in a fresh core download and export your private keys to your inputs manually to another wallet such as electrum.

Load your wallet into unsynced bitcoin core > console > start generating receive addresses / raw change addresses > export private keys int electrum?
I assume this process is deterministic and at some point you should've exhausted all used addresses? Someone should comment on this. There's probably an easier solution to your problem though, so maybe just ignore this post.

It sure does. You made a token you can earn by playing a non-existing game because you lost money in a HYIP? Hahaha

I think you are still on drug!!!?




Wrong. You lost "everything" because you speculated on a HYIP.

So basically you're "giving away" a template site and your unique idea which is what exactly?

Well I guess that is more or less what this section is intended for.

Seriously did you even read my suggestion? this sythe thing seems like some complicated P2P trading forum, which is dead anyway (only a couple active threads in the csgo section)

I posted two very active market places as an alternative to the steam market. Highly recommend you use those if you have no idea what you're doing instead of getting scammed on some esoteric forum.
