Hmm. With the current price of bitcoin and transaction fees, you’d expect the opposite, for more people to start up faucets again. But i’m pretty sure most ad networks are getting pretty nauseous and fed up with all that PTC-3rd world traffic..?

Although i agree, for users, doing faucets is absolutely a waste of time.

It’s funny though, Faucethub and the likes seem to continue receiving steady traffic... - https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/faucethub.io

1) Basically the amount of adresses that can be generated are infinite (Well, not exactly infinite, 2^160(i think it was??)). Any wallet such as Bitcoin core/Electrum can simply generate a new private key -> public key -> adress.

Yes. If you make an output to adress X with 1 BTC and to adress Z with 0.5 BTC, from adress Y holding 1.5 BTC,they will indeed be different UTXO’s.

2) I’m not an expert on this. The only thing i do know is that, once you broadcast a transaction,the public keys of the adresses belonging to the UTXO’s that are being spend become known. How and when in this process quantum computing will make use of this to bruteforce your privatekey, i have no clue.

1) You can't? You'll need to use a wallet that'll generate a new adress every time you want to receive coins. I don't think that's possible with any paper wallet as the entire idea of a paper wallet is having 1 adress...?

2) The theory is, (correct me if i'm wrong) that it'll need your public key to do so, (cracking the privkey) which is always made public after you signed/broadcasted a transaction from said adress.
Afterall, your adress is simply a one-way hash..

There's some other threads about this, too. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4266048.0

Sure. A single private key would be sufficient to recover one adress you have money on. You'll be able to import that key into any wallet just fine at any given date.

But here too, you should take note of the following: that when you at a later time want to spend from that private key, that you make sure the change adress is correct/set to an adress you control the private key from.

Bitcoin Core will use the Master private key to derive all "normal" private keys, so, yes? It should be sufficient to just back up the xpriv key..?

But take note of the following:

So be wary that when you change passwords, you might want to check for new xpriv keys to back up.

Yup. As jackg said, if it’s encrypted with a password, you’ll have to bruteforce it. This is very much possible if you have any idea as to what the password might be.

If you do, you can use a tool such as https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover

It’s definitely worth a try, especially if you reckon there’s a decent amount of coins there.

One would think that the 500 sat/b would automatically get added into the next block, since it has the highest fees, I'm not entirely sure however that you're also including the weight of those 3BTC from the 4sat/b in the complete picture correctly.

---

If Alice's transaction fee is worth 10x less than Bob's, it seems pretty obvious that most miners will include Bobs CPFP, even if that means also confirming the 4sat/b tx, and not Alices' RBF transaction of 50sat/b. (Which is also a double-spend. I'm not entirely sure how most miners react to them, but i wouldn't be surprised if some were reluctant of accepting those.)


I'm fairly certain someone can show the math behind accepting the CPFP tx vs the RBF, and the profitability of them weighed against each other.

Damn. You really are king in giving bad advice to people. Not only in your signature (where you are promoting a scam), but also in your regular posts.

You're telling this guy, without any idea of the OS he is using, what settings he has for opening files etc, that he can just freely download a (potential) virus without it causing any issues to his PC whatsoever?

Come on man. https://security.stackexchange.com/a/94362 There are countless ways a file could get executed after simply being downloaded.

Best would be to not touch that file with a 10 feet pole.

I have a feeling that most people/opensource developers moved on to the better "version" of Ethereum.

The only people that were willing to work on ETC were probably those that got paid for it/had a significant share left
(although since it was forked, everyone who had ETH also has ETC.., so that argument is kind of flawed.). Those that were interested in the tech will just use the more "developed" version. -- Ethereum.

It's funny how all these forks, -- ETC/BCH/BCHSV have such high marketcaps, but almost nothing to show for it..

ETC is still worth 400 million$, but for what? They're technologically inferior to ETH in every aspect?
^^(EDIT: I haven't really looked into the technical aspect of ETC compared to ETH, so i might be wrong here, as i am looking at the comment below.)
The only thing that they really have going for them is the coinbase listing? But is that really worth that much?

Exactly this. I'm currently looking at the CryptoCurrency section, and the quality of most questions is awful, and it really looks to me like these are only asked to generate some potential upvotes = money, instead of them being asked out of sheer interest..

For real technical discussion/questions, this site simply isn't going to be used when alternatives such as SE/the BTT subboard are available. (Or unless Musing has a really good moderation team that removes all the gibberish comments made.)


Also, the site's layout/design looks awful to me when compared to stackexchange (Or even Steemit), it looks like they really focused on mobile users or something.. I guess that might just be me though.

Yup.

I'm not exactly sure where the thread went that i scanned through a couple of months ago, but i think it was this one that is worth a read;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025283.0

Which concluded that out of the 2.3 million accounts at the time, 1.6 million had never posted. That's quite insane. I'd love to see this stat comparing to other forums such as HF/LF/nulled

And yet you can't pay your dev-team in a token/coin that is actually worth something.

I'm not saying that you should, i'm simply saying that there are not many people that will be interested in designing a site to then get paid in BARBEQUE-HOUSE-XXL Token.


Also, none of these "high-up" individuals offered a partnership of some sort? I also have trouble believing that someone who just has an idea wouldn't be interested in making a deal of sorts with such "high up individuals".




It seems that you can't comprehend how the market and bitcoin ecosystem works.
I'm pretty sure that 90% of the mainstream developers don't even want bitcoin as their payment method, let alone some token that was probably created 5 mins ago that is absolutely worthless. It's simply gambling at that point for work you(as a developer/designer) did.

Luckily i'm not asking to work for you.  

Damn. You make some baseless assumptions that really are just empty words, and i fail to grasp the actual meaning behind them.

You're projecting so hard here. Damn. Who exactly is the one launching another token with empty promises, nothing to show for it, and can't/won't pay their developers some sort of wage, but instead gives them the supply he just created out of thin air?

Again, good luck finding a developer/designer willing to do this with the information given.

You expect someone to design a website on-par with that of Fiverr, and IF YOU LIKE IT, in return you will give them 0.5% of your worthless token?

Give me a break, you don't realistically expect anyone to do this, right? Any newb can create a new token. Designing/creating a website such as Fiverr from scratch can cost thousands of $.


Your best bet might honestly be to buy a template from the internet, and use that as your basis. https://themeforest.net/tags/fiverr

What project?

Also, you're hitting irony levels that shouldn't be possible.

First you announce that you'll leave the forum, then all of a sudden you come back to make a shady trade.

Sorry but i don't buy this.

For those thinking about doing this, if he is getting his paypal funds from a bank account/credit card, it might very well be possible that he'll be able to chargeback after 180 days as well.

@Mdayonliner, why don't you just use an exchange? It's not like you haven't scattered your KYC info all over the place already. 

Sorry, but if you can't find your profile ID/link, you're either new to the internet - in which case i am really curious how you are ever able to say something meaningful in order to promote said bounty campaign, OR, you must be borderline retarded.


  Seriously?

He's kind of right though. he's carrying all the risks. Even if you send first, you can still chargeback. I'd advise OP to not deal with Paypal with anyone here of whoms account is red-tagged/not-trusted/low tier.

Ideally i'd only trade with DT2+ or people who've got a history of succesfully doing paypal trades.

1. Is this even an argument? It's not up to you either. If DarkStar has a problem with Jackg posting like that in this campaign thread, i'm pretty sure he would've noticed him about it/asked him to stop.

2. Because Litecoin has nothing to do with bitcoin/this campaign.

What was your point by mentioning this in the first place? It seems to me like you tried to assert some kind of dominance here by showing how much "you know". --  something that you're explicitely accusing jackg of doing?

Sounds quite hypocritical  .

Although i don't exactly agree with your proposal regarding the "confirm email" "problem", i do think that the forum can definitely improve on a number of things, and is HEAVILY lacking on certain features in comparison to other forums.

Blablabla, the matter of fact here is simply that the forum's methods are heavily outdated. Other services would either never allow this to happen in the first place, or quickly recover the stolen account. Bitcointalk does neither.

Sure it was his fault, but do you seriously expect everyone to browse bitcointalk from an air-tight pc in some nuclear bunker? It's a forum for christs sake. There'll always be people/accounts getting hacked for various reasons.

I think it's quite easy to recognize which funds come from mixers. Especially with Chipmixer, where transactions go from adress A -> B,C,D,E in denominations of 0.001, 0.004, 0.032 etc. and then get claimed.


If they're not acting on transactions from mixers, then their entire cooperation is basically a farce, and really nothing more than just a windows-dressing measure... Anyone who would have slightly "dirty" coins would just simply use a mixer?

Which will probably result in a lot of false positives. Anyone who knows that he received hacked funds/dirty coins will probably sweep them through a mixer, whereas people who think the coins are "Clean" won't...?

So i recently discovered that Binance partnered with https://www.chainalysis.com/ to detect transactions that could be coming from people whom launder money, fund terrorist organisations et al.

Does anyone know what the impact of this will be/has been (Has anyone been affected yet?)? Will coins send from a mixer to binance now require KYC (since they're untraceable = will probably get flagged??)?
Seems like the entire nature/reason of why crypto exists in the first place is silently being destroyed.  

I've never send coins from any mixer to binance, but i would be really reluctant to do so now, especially with unverified accounts...? The stuff that Polo/Bittrex pulled is still fresh in my mind.
This to me, seems like quite a big deal, but i have barely heard anything about this, or what it actually implies for the average user that's taking decent care of his privacy/trying to preserve anonimity...
