So gmail is centralized so doesn't that mean google can get into your gmail account if they want to?

Well, you use their services ( likely without paying for them)), so it would make sense that they would do so in order to make money some way. (usually through personalized ads)

A quick google search on what they do with your data/if they can read it gives returns like this, https://www.wired.co.uk/article/google-reading-personal-emails-privacy

Quote
Google will no longer scan through the content of personal emails, the company has said in a blog post. The move is designed to restore confidence among business users, to ensure the confidentiality of their operations.

Since the creation of Gmail 13 years ago, Google has analysed content on personal accounts in order to target account holders with tailored adverts. In 2014, these email scanning practices were clarified in a terms of service update, stating that incoming and outgoing emails were analysed by automated software. This system would only target customers using the free version of Gmail for personal use.


So, yes, Google can definitely get into your gmail account if they would want to, and they have done so in the past to make massive amounts of money...

Perfect, after some hours of waiting, it worked !
Thanks guys  Wink
Next time if you don't know what you are doing with the network fees you must let your Bitcoin wallet choose the network fee for you. Just like what Electrum has done with its wallet where there is a dynamic fee, Electrum is the one who automatically choose what network fee is optimal for your transaction during that time. Do not be afraid on enabling the dynamic fees turned on that it will give you high transaction fee it will always just set you with the most adequate cost for that transaction.

This is only smart if you want to get your transaction confirmed very quickly.

I find that Electrum usually overestimates the amount of fees that are necessary to get confirmed quickly, so if you're not in a hurry, you're better off looking at the mempool
(Something like https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h) and decide it from there manually.

Currently the mempool is like 6 MB, so i wouldn't be surprised if a 1 sat/b would get confirmed rather quickly.

Hello everyone. I am just a beginner here and i'm interested in joining campaigns.
Unfortunately almost all campaigns are for Jr. Members only.

Are there any other campaign who allows beginners?

All opinions and answers are highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!!

I doubt you're going to get very far with these campaigns if you can't even find/use the search function...

There are some threads which list campaigns for newbies, right here in this section.
See for example:

There are no forum rules on this. You can accept whatever you want as collateral and is entirely up to you to secure.
I understand that part however my question was about the afterwards, precisely if they default... This become an alt of mine? Let's say I will not sale it since selling accounts are unofficially (I guess) prohibited.



Well, yes. If someone defaults on their loan and has no interest in paying it back it becomes yours for taking.

I'm not too sure how frowned upon it is to sell accounts that you've received through lending as collateral. I've seen quite a few high-trusted members in the past that sold accounts that they received through lending w/out any repercussions.

bump

I'm confused by multiple things regarding your service.

The last post in this topic was from January? What happend between todays bump and the last post? (Did you not receive any orders in the meantime?)

Another Exchange Done.

$46 PayPal to Burst.


What i'm getting from this is that someone deposited Paypal to your site, and then withdrew "Burst"/(any crypto), right?

But, your exchange doesn't abide KYC laws/require verification, correct? (You stated this in the OP yourself..?) How do you prevent people from charging back their paypal funds?
~~( I also don't see any option to do anything with paypal on the site itself?)

1506  Other / Meta / Re: Seeking reporter badge images on: July 25, 2018, 01:52:04 PM
Just a question,
What is this report badges for? Does it affect the ranking system? If yes, Iam sure that lots of user will do reporting excessively even if the reported replies is useful for everyone.

What are the consequences if you do not maintain the report counts?

I think it's just to display how many reports someone has done, and i don't think you really get any other benefits from it..

So no, it shouldn't affect the ranking system, and i don't think that there are any "consequences" for not reporting any posts.

There might be some campaigns that'll pay more if you have made more reports, but i kind of doubt that though.

I am sorry!
Please help me contact the forum administration?
The fact is that because of the lack of experience in writing posts and so I made mistake.

Please help me!
Thank you




I think you got banned for making extremely low quality posts, although it could also be copy-pasting, in which case the chances of getting unbanned are almost 0...


It's quite funny though how you went from this:

So far the cryptocurrency s quite not stable
Do not know how  falls or rises.
i am disappointment!


I think that lending is a risky undertaking
The Internet does not guarantee the return of your money.
so be careful!


while the project is fixing itself!
If it goes on like this and it's going to be fine!

while I'm studying!
I try to understand the principle of trade!

To this:

Bitcoin dropped sharply by 63 %  from its peak at the end of 2017. This was the expected decline, and it is generally believed that it is a recovery in the market that has rid itself of various speculators and was a step towards stability.

However, the fall of the bitcoin caused the collapse of the other cryptocurrency  that are more or less bound to market.

BTC is currently dominating the market at about 45 % and  it is expected to increase this figure. However, it will pay for it again, which is no longer so interested.

At the coinmarketcap, a total of 1656 cryptocurrency are currently scrolled, and it can be assumed that part of them will disappear over time. It's actually a logical development. Investors are cautious and not stupid.

Here you use better vocabulary, but for some reason your word order/grammar seems to be of the same level of all your other posts..
1508  Economy / Services / Re: Yet, another website for check prices on: July 24, 2018, 11:49:10 AM
The site loads fairly decent, but i'm not too sure if i would ever use the site in it's current form in my daily life.

I think that's mostly due to the design of your site, which i think is a bit old-fashioned compared to CMC for example ( It might just be my phone & personal preference though),

and the fact that the information i get is rather limited (only 5 coins, where as if i load in CMC, i instantly see the prices & % changes of a hundred coins..

I think NLNico made a topic about this a while ago, where he listed a number of airlines which accepted bitcoin.

This is probably it, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3078815.0, not sure how accurate it still is, but a good read nonetheless.

Instead of day manual trading looking at a screen all day how can I earn interest on bitcoin? Preferably automated. Like a passive income you know what I mean.

Why do peeps buy bitcoins off localbitcoins.com when they can buy it cheaper at exchanges scam free?



I think poloniex had such a thing, where you could lend money to margin traders for a daily fee.

Although i'm not sure how popular poloniex is anymore due to their KYC policies and lies, you could maybe try that..

(I personally can't really recommend poloniex though, and i would try to look for another more trusted exchange, although i'm not too sure if there is any other exchange out there which offers this..)

Why do peeps buy bitcoins off localbitcoins.com when they can buy it cheaper at exchanges scam free?
Because they might not want to give up their identities and instead keep their privacy, since almost every exchange that involves BTC -> USD & vice versa nowadays requires KYC...
1511  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Converting my ETH to BTC on: July 23, 2018, 06:02:05 PM
Maybe shapeshift.io?

 I don't know how much you are trying to transfer, but you can convert decent amounts there without any KYC verification...

It's without a doubt faster than coinbase, and i think they also have better rates, although i'm not entirely sure about that..
1512  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New ICO - help in creating on: July 23, 2018, 02:27:27 PM

Hello, I wanted to know if any of you dear forumees could help in the creation of ICO and placing it on the stock market?

I will be grateful for help Smiley

I guess the easiest way to make an ico is to utilize the ethereum platform..

See https://www.ethereum.org/crowdsale, although i am not too sure how inclusive this "guide" is.

Also, some advice;

don't ask other people how to host an ico just to host an ICO, this only shows that you are a money-hungry fool.. (Also, i don't see any reason/incentive for anyone to invest in such an "ICO", especially if the creator doesn't even know two cents about it..)
1513  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CoinPot Website on: July 21, 2018, 06:53:33 PM
Haha patatas, are you for real?
I'm as real as your micro wallet.

It is a micro-wallet meant as a way to collect faucet earnings in a single site, rather than having 2-5 different faucet balances that all have a min. withdraw which is usually hard to reach.
Oh so basically, you can store money from all the faucets into a single wallet? Well, nice! Do you have access to your wallet's private keys on coinpot?


Microwallets are actually more common with faucets than you might think, see https://faucethub.io for example which receives over 30k unique users every day.

Also, your part about not having access to your private keys when using micro-wallets actually makes sense, if everyone would control their own keys, what would the purpose of the wallet be over a normal one?

(Edit: AFAIK, there really isn't such a thing as an individual adress on the microwallet service itself, thus it would even be impossible to give users access to their private keys, since they don't exist in the first place..)

 The specific advantage of these micro wallets is that you don't gather dust like you would with a normal wallet while claiming from faucets (since payments are sent in batches to your "real" wallet by the service/microwallet provider)...

1514  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is a Market Cap? on: July 20, 2018, 06:31:26 PM
Market Capitalization is one way to rank the relative size of a cryptocurrency. It's calculated by multiplying the Price by the Circulating Supply.

Market Cap = Price X Circulating Supply.

The maths is confusing but in layman terms it is
Market Cap is the amount of Fiat money (USD, GBP etc) currently invested into a Cryptocurrency.


Did you forget the []? The first part of your post is completely copy-pasted from https://coinmarketcap.com/faq/

Market Capitalization is one way to rank the relative size of a cryptocurrency. It's calculated by multiplying the Price by the Circulating Supply.

Market Cap = Price X Circulating Supply.

And the second part of your post is completely wrong. Marketcap is really a bad indicator as to how much has been invested in a coin for all the reasons mentioned above in this thread which you clearly did not read... :/

IIRC, there was an article based on/from analytics of JP morgan/GM in which it was calculated that the actual cash put in bitcoin was less than 5 billion. Too bad i don't have a link to the article anymore...

1515  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why can Core not Scale at a 0.X% for blocksize in the S-Curve f(X) on: July 20, 2018, 02:25:14 PM
Yeah, I think Satoshi was smart enough to foresee this and he could've implemented the Core with 2MB or 4MB of blocksize himself but I think we knew back then that this would cause more harm than good so he stayed at 1MB and I think this is great as we dont need a cryptocurrency that is handled like fiat money where some big players controll the wealth of many many people. Bitcoin was created to give the people their wealth back because they work for it every day 9-5....

Foresee what exactly? I'm quite missing your point.. Looks to me like you put as many buzzwords in a paragraph as possible and didnt really read the thread...

Also about the BLS signatures, this is what the lead dev of the schnorr signatures BIP had to say about them;

I think they're awesome.

However, they're also slower to verify, and introduce additional security assumptions. That roughly means there are additional ways in which they could be broken, which don't apply to Schnorr or ECDSA. As a result, I expect it to be much easier to find widespread agreement to switch to Schnorr (which has no additional assumptions, and is slightly faster than ECDSA).

So i highly doubt that we will see these any time soon..

I also have yet to fully understand why these BLS signatures are so "Awesome", the only thing i've really heard about them is that they're generally slower to verify, (as stated above).. Does anyone know what the general advantages of them are in (for example) comparison to schnorr?

Take a look at their (unofficial) subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/Coinpot

The reviews/discussion are really, really mixed. It seems like a lot of users are getting suspended for unclear reasons/"cheating", which is usually a pretty bad sign...

I had a 100% loyalty bonus since last October and never once did anything shady. They are scammers man...taking your money. Sorry. This is in their TOS.

3.1 and 3.3 https://coinpot.co/terms.htm

They don't have to have a reason and doing this to many people over time adds up.

I'm a bit skeptical, especially since i suspect that this addon is pretty intrusive/needs to be pretty intrusive to work, (aka reading/scanning everything i do with the browser)..

Is it open source or anything?
1518  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Blockchain.info getting my BCH legacy wallet to new wallet sweep. on: July 19, 2018, 03:41:28 PM
Hello everyone I have a problem, can anyone help?

I used to have a legacy blockchain.info wallet which had BTC in there.

I used 17 word phrase to restore my password to this account after blockchain was updated to the new wallet.

Upon logging into my account blockchain moved my funds into a new wallet but this new wallet doesnt contain my BCH.

I have asked support any they say they cannot get access to the old account.  So tell me how they were able to transfer the BTC from one wallet to the other?

I can still see the BCH in the old legacy address for blockchain but when I log into the account and look at archived addresses this address is not here.

They swept the BTC funds from there into the new one, but did not transfer my BCH.

Any ideas?

Blockchain.info has, as far as i am aware, no access to your keys and thus it is impossible that they transferred your funds to a new adress.

Perhaps you or blockchain.info by default changed the layout of your wallet to only show BTC balances?

I know that there is a tool which lets you export your blockchain.info's private keys using the recovery seed, perhaps someone can point you to it.

(After which you have your privkey you can simply import that in electroncash or similar, if there is any BCH balance at all it should show up)

Since they are based in the US i guess you could take legal action against them, but even if you win, i really doubt you get your money back, (or more than you spent on the trial).

Maybe you could bluff them in the hope that they make a move (paying you back), although that could also go sideways very quickly..

(But i don't really see what you have left to lose in this case, since i highly doubt they'll finish your project if this is how they delivered it to you in the first place, ( copy pasted wallets & blockexplorer etc..))
1520  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is a Market Cap? on: July 19, 2018, 10:17:09 AM
Hello everyone, for those who don’t know this article defines what a market cap is:

https://cryptobriefing.com/market-cap-is-just-one-way-of-valuing-crypto/

In short, it refers to the total dollar market value of a company’s outstanding shares. Commonly referred to as “market cap,” it is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share.

The crypto community and finance sector commonly use this term so its better to understand this term.

Market cap is the total volume of USD which is being invested in cryto currency.

Did you even bother reading the posts above you? No, marketcap is not the total amount of USD invested in a coin.....

Usually only a small % of a coin's circulation is actually traded, which means it would cost way less than the total marketcap to increase a coin's marketcap. Lets say that 10% of a coins circulation is actually traded, buying 1% of that would affect the marketcap by 10%.

And also that basically means every coin is heavily inflated (their marketcap) ^ see the above posts from other users about selling off and how marketcap really is a bad indicator.
