Hi Bittraffic,
Thank you for your opinion. But we can ensure you that we have earned the trust of a large of cryptocurrency users.
This month alone we have already payed-out around 1.2M EURO. And we are continuing to prove our self to be the safest and easiest place to sell digital currencies.
You can start an exchange with less then 5 USD/EURO. Give it a try!
Best regards,
Bitsettle.com SocialTeam
I'm interesting in those statistics, and where those users are coming from. Alexa's traffic ranking indicates that you barely(non) received any traffic yet. - https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitsettle.comI'm also really interested in this part. -- Bitsettle is a crypto currency broker. The business activities of Bitsettle consist of the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency against traditional currencies. These activities are currently not supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets. We are not required to ask for any personal information and we will not do so. This means you operate in/from Europe? If this is actually the case, what's stopping people from laundering massive amounts of money et al..? Why are you the first company to do this? (Anonymous buying/selling of CC). I'd imagine that if the law was as lenient as you portray it to be, a lot of other services would've already popped up. It seems that you're at the very least skirting against some AML. How long before you're going to be indicted?
If you can actually offer this service, and be trustworthy in doing so, you'll be able to make a lot of money. I for one would be interested in using you guys if only you had a little bit more trust here on the forum and in general.. (Google the domain etc turns up nothing.) Maybe consider escrowing a considerable amount (~5-10k)? |

This forum has proven to be the biggest and the most respected forum in the world of cryptocurrencies. Almost everyday new members from different parts of the world continue to join this amazing platform. Despite the interesting topics and discussions that we have around, there are still ways to make the forum much more interactive than it is at the moment. Hence, am suggesting if it would be possible to add features such as a "Like" button aside the "quote" button so people can react to a post by liking it or disliking it and not necessary commenting on a particular topic. I believe this can also help reduce the rate at which people spam the forum through unnecessary comments.
This has been discussed quite a bit already; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1866078.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=622992.0
I don't think "Like" will be used much different than merit currently is, thus it seems pretty redundant to implement. |

Someone should correct me if i'm wrong, but i am fairly certain that it is NOT possible to put a password on a mnemonic seed. That'd be a first for me.
It would appear you aren't entirely familiar with BIP39 and how seed mnemonics work then... For reference: From mnemonic to seed
A user may decide to protect their mnemonic with a passphrase. If a passphrase is not present, an empty string "" is used instead.
To create a binary seed from the mnemonic, we use the PBKDF2 function with a mnemonic sentence (in UTF-8 NFKD) used as the password and the string "mnemonic" + passphrase (again in UTF-8 NFKD) used as the salt. The iteration count is set to 2048 and HMAC-SHA512 is used as the pseudo-random function. The length of the derived key is 512 bits (= 64 bytes).
The ability to add passphrases to BIP39 seed mnemonics is the basis for the "Plausible Deniability": The described method also provides plausible deniability, because every passphrase generates a valid seed (and thus a deterministic wallet) but only the correct one will make the desired wallet available. Which, as pointed out by bob123 and BitCryptex, is a possible reason why the OP has a "valid" seed with no history... without the correct seed passphrase, they'll be unable to recover their wallet. Thanks. Not sure how i haven't seen this earlier.
You reckon that this guide is more or less what you're describing in the above quote? https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-explorer/wiki/How-to-Encrypt-a-Wallet-Seed#using-key-encryption Is there a list of wallets that support encrypted mnemonics? I don't think for instance Electrum does? |

I dont know what or if there were passwords on the mnemonics.
So question # 1 - If I enter a mnemonic and it verifies by saying it is a correct mnemonic I click next and dont enter a password or if the wallet requires it I enter a new one. If there is no tx history can I assume the wallet was not restored? As in IF I did put a password on the mnemonic when I made it , then dont use that password and / or use a new one will that make the wallet not show any tx?
Someone should correct me if i'm wrong, but i am fairly certain that it is NOT possible to put a password on a mnemonic seed. That'd be a first for me.EDIT: See the answers below. It may very well be that you encrypted your mnemonic. Apologies. Question 2 - I have a 85 character string or characters. I have no idea what I did but it looks to me as the first part is an address and the second a key. The first character is a 1 ( unless its a lower case L , Im open to any possibility now). I know I cant post the whole thing but Im stuck here so this is what I have without compromising it.
85 characters - this is how it looks
1NeGXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX x VKudme ( I put a space on the lower case x as its written it looks like it could be part of the sting or a seperator )
( s or 5 ) KRovXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
2q880XXXXXXX
If there is a better way to securly put this that would be easier on you guys let me know. Just didnt want to put too much info.
1NeGXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxVKudme This could be a legacy adress, as it is 34 chars, starting with a 1. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/List_of_address_prefixes(5)KRovXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2q880XXXXXXX Could be an (un)compressed private key? (It's missing 1 character though?) Although, you mentioned you had 85 characters. 85-34= 51, which means that this is probably indeed an uncompressed privkey. I don't get where the K is coming from though, if that's the case. (EDIT: I now just saw the "(S or 5)" part.. This is an uncompressed private key, for sure.) The K confused me for a bit longer than i am willing to admit.  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_key For private keys associated with uncompressed public keys, they are 51 characters and always start with the number 5 on mainnet (9 on testnet). Private keys associated with compressed public keys are 52 characters and start with a capital L or K on mainnet (c on testnet). This is the same private key in (mainnet) wallet import format: |

Hi all,
Can someone help me hiding my name of a domain i bought?
Saw lot of different ways, but may be someone here knows the best way.
I pay BTC ETH DASH. Please PM me.
Thanks!
BR
G
You want to transfer the domain to an individual who then holds it in your name? Seems like there is a lot of room for things to go wrong, especially if said individual has a reason to run off with the domain, (highly valued, et al), or even blackmail you? Do you want something like WHOIS privacy protection, that keeps the domain name registrant's phone/name/address hidden?
Would you mind telling us that from which registrar you've purchased the domain name?
WHO.IS is indeed a good option. If that's not fitting for OP, another option would be to let a company such as https://njal.la/ hold your domain. I haven't used Njalla myself, so use them with due dilligence.
As per their #FAQ, you can also transfer already existing domains. Again, i have no clue how trustworthy they really are. Transfering an existing domain
It's possible to transfer your current domain to us. Search for your domain and choose 'transfer'. (You need to have credits in your wallet for the option to show up)

thanks etf ...
ive already contacted blockchain's support about this, but havent heard back in about 4 days
re the private key/seed, is that the 12 word phrase or the 17 word phrase?
i think i know enough about electrum to try that
As far as i know, there is no BIP that generates 17 word seeds. It's probably the one with 12 words. i think i know enough about electrum to try that I'm not entire sure if Electrum supports the way Blockchain.info's seeds are derived by default. (BIP44?) According to this SE, you'll need to tick >BIP39 seeds, and it should work. I'm fairly sure that that's indeed correct, although i haven't tried it myself. These steps are for new Blockchain.info wallets based of BIP39 seeds.
If you have previously imported private keys to blockchain.info they have to be exported separately, as they are not part of the keys derived from the seed.
1. Get your blockchain.info seed. Login to your blockchain.info account, click on 'Security Center' then click on 'Backup Phrase'. Be aware that onced the phrase is backed up, you won't be able to access it again on blockchain.info. So note it down carefully.
2. Start Electrum, choose to restore a standard wallet, then restore from seed, enter your seed, then click options and check the 'BIP39 seed' box. -> Click Ok/Next.
3. Blockchain.info follows the BIP 44 standard for derivation paths, so the default account has a derivation path m/44'/0'/0'/0
4. You should now have migrated to Electrum.

I wish they will stop forcing 2FA for registration soon because this is very stupid. One can't be a member just because he doesn't want to use 2FA and doesn't have any problem with securing his passwords.
lol indeed, i didn't register on there for the exactly same reason. The idiotism is they already implement two-factor with personal unique codes and after that they require one more two-factor with google and sms. fuck that
It do sucks but you cant do anything about it since its their protocol and if you do tend to make use of their service then you wont really have any choice but to comply with it. Security is always been important but i dont know why it would really be needed it on a fast swap platform. Because people from higher up the chain (goverments) probably asked ShapeShift to do so. Despite Shapeshift saying that this isn't the case, i wouldn't believe for a second that if they weren't pressured by US government/SEC/other legal entities, they still would've implemented these stupid 2FA mechanics/their membership levels. As i said before, it completely destroys their business model and the (only) advantage that they had over binance. And their traffic keeps dropping. https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/shapeshift.io(Although, this is more or less the case with ALL exchanges, so it's not exactly a fair metric, still though, it seems to be dropping faster than eg binance..) |

So Bitcoin has 21,000,000.00000000 in existence. How does someone determine how many zeros are placed behind it? Could someone make an asset that has 1 coin but 1.910980182309824791827981240912094109249129837 in total token supply ?
It has simply been "determined" that way. There is not really any technical reason other than 10^8 being a somewhat "convenient" number. See https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/31933/why-is-bitcoin-defined-as-having-8-decimal-placesWhich points to this answer: I remember this discussion, actually.
Finney, Satoshi, and I discussed how divisible a Bitcoin ought to be. Satoshi had already more or less decided on a 50-coin per block payout with halving every so often to add up to a 21M coin supply. Finney made the point that people should never need any currency division smaller than a US penny, and then somebody (I forget who) consulted some oracle somewhere like maybe Wikipedia and figured out what the entire world's M1 money supply at that time was.
We debated for a while about which measure of money Bitcoin most closely approximated; but M2, M3, and so on are all for debt-based currencies, so I agreed with Finney that M1 was probably the best measure.
21Million, times 10^8 subdivisions, meant that even if the whole word's money supply were replaced by the 21 million bitcoins the smallest unit (we weren't calling them Satoshis yet) would still be worth a bit less than a penny, so no matter what happened -- even if the entire economy of planet earth were measured in Bitcoin -- it would never inconvenience people by being too large a unit for convenience.
To quote Arturo's second part of his answer. I'm not entirely sure if this was known at the time of implementation though. So Bitcoin has 21,000,000.00000000 in existence. How does someone determine how many zeros are placed behind it? Could someone make an asset that has 1 coin but 1.910980182309824791827981240912094109249129837 in total token supply ?

Are they in any way affiliated with http://BitSevens.com ? Because that site is 100% a scam. See https://dirtyscam.com/reviews/bitsevens-com-rick-smith/(I don't understand why they would choose a name so close to the above.) Anyway, i can't find anything about Bitseven.com themselves. They seem extremely unknown/not used. Even though it's derivative trading, (and thus there's not really any liquidity required to operate) i still wouldn't trust them with my money. They have no track record/history, which makes exit scamming a whole lot easier. Apart from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4773096.0, they have no real ANN on their forum either where they can be held accountable for their service. I am going to short btc, so are you sure that in bitseven there is no short position funding like in bitmex? This is sound unreal..
on bitseven there is no funding, it's real  So how does it work? It's a bogus market? |

I've decided to dedicate my days on this forum to hunting down on such pajeets and scheminjg/unscrupulous members... Do these kinds of samaritans really exist? Call me pessimistic, but i think you have another reason for this ( thread)  . I think the most people here get busted because their level of english simply doesn't match the level of the plagiarized content, (especially in the case of text spinners.) or the content is really out of touch with the OP/context. And ofcourse you also just have people who simply copy-paste other people's posts, which usually is fairly obvious/visible when you go through their post history/threads. I just ran a search and came up with this; http://en.writecheck.comI haven't used their services, so I am not endorsing it. Note, that it comes with a fee. Google can provide you with any information you need, you just need to know how to look for it. I highly doubt that sites like these index all the forum posts made on BTT in their plagiarism filter. |

Ramirez Swap2Cash Support@Swap2Cash.comwww.swap2cash.comAre you also registered in the United States or? Could you give us some more details on that? The only 2 risks i see here, (and other people should really correct me if i'm wrong), is that you can chargeback the paypal funds within 180 days, or simply stop paying/don't pay your customers. How can we trust you? Do you have any funds in escrow? Let me get this straight though; I pay you 100$ in BTC, and in return i get 125$ worth of paypal funds? That seems sketchy, and definitely too good to be true. What's the catch?

Thanks to forum for such as opportunity to learn about crypto and thanks to member's for help me to learn and upgrade my rank. Just noticed now I became Sr. Member. Intention of this post isn't gain merit or signature campaign. This post for them who made complain about rank and merit system. So they could motivate.
Just noticed HabBear has got negative trust from OgNasty yesterday. According to rules perhaps he will remove from signature.
4. Getting negative trust from DT2+ or spamming will cause you to be removed without payment. Although I send PM to manager morning( after upgrade my rank) but I wasn't aware about red tag of old participant. I would like to try my luck. On addition all of merit by earn I joined forum after implemented merit system. Hope manager will consider me.
Username: Coolcryptovator Post Count: 1443 ( include this post ) BTC Address (must be SegWit): 1K7NeCvEu9TU1drBPgA6dby3NP8enyfBJt Edit: Apologies for SegWit address, I haven't used it. If this is must required then I will create if accepted and recommend by manager. I will update signature if accepted. Thanks PAHAHAHAHAHA. Yet you are scanning Chipmixer's campaign members argus-eyed. Sorry but it is obvious that you have a monetary incentive.
I also find it extremely funny how you all of a sudden last month decided to open loans with DarkStar to trade. First it was BCH, and now PAL. It's not like you could've liquidated those PAL assets and used those directly to trade. No, you needed to loan BTC from DarkStar. Huh... Anyway, congrats on getting 250 merits. Maybe i should join the "merit is holier than thou" circle-jerk as well. It seems to work pretty well so far... |

A point of concern however is that this was by far the biggest bull run we've ever had.
There was wide media coverage on bitcoin/other altcoins during it's peak. Almost everyone was talking about Bitcoin/Other altcoins back in 2017/2018. (Which wasn't the case with prior highs/dumps, or much less so.)
I don't see how we're going to have a bull run of that magnitude anytime soon. The sentiment for it is simply gone among the common folk..

|
on: November 16, 2018, 08:33:55 PM

So i purpose for example 100 years, its a big and round number, after that time the address needs to be cleanned and bitcoins enter again in circulation, how can a project like this dont have solution yet for that ? I don't see how you can defend this really. In the end, it's just stealing, blatantly. So, why Satoshi choose 21 millions and not just 1 as universe and 0.0000000000000000000000001 units?
Bitcoin should be adapted to be a normal integer, there is a lot of advantage in that, try to use floating point data type in a invoice program and you will see how much more memory it will take if that invoice have a lot of products and uses big floating points fields.
There's actually some reasoning behind that. Calculate the number of blocks per 4 year cycle: 6 blocks per hour
* 24 hours per day
* 365 days per year
* 4 years per cycle
= 210,240
~= 210,000
Sum all the block reward sizes: 50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + 3.125 + ... = 100
Multiply the two: 210,000 * 100 = 21 million.
Economically, because the currency is effectively infinitely divisible, then the precise amount doesn't matter, as long as the limit remains fixed. 0.0000000000000000000000001 units? That's something that's possible, for sure, if needed in the future. Maybe the same value as dolar or the media between the dolar/euro/rmb the 3 largest economical blocks, look the success of USDT for example and stable coins in this moment. You want to peg bitcoin to USD, and give USDT as a glorified example of how it should be? Sorry, but are we still talking about crypto? looks like you want to go back to the traditional banking system? (Something something trusting a central entity (Bitfinex in this case?)) Which is exactly what bitcoin is trying to avoid...? imo; USDT is a scam with no inherent value created by a bunch of wash trading operators, waiting to crash with no survivors. |
