No, it isn't hidden, blockchain.info's indexing simply hasn't been updated/doesn't support it yet. Almost every other block explorer will index bc1... adresses just fine. Blockchair for example, https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/4ef47f6eb681d5d9fa2f7e16336cd629303c635e8da51e425b76088be9c8744cIs this possible for Each wallet to use a different address format to be a feature to hide the contents of the addresses "different human-readable part "bc" for each wallet"? You mean that an adress would generate an adress starting with gc1.... instead of bc1... (Or anything/any combination for that matter)? I'm pretty sure these would be rejected by nodes/are simply invalid adresses, and will never be added in a block ( if you would sent from 1.. to gc1...) I also doubt you would even be able to broadcast the transaction with any of the current wallets. |

What are the benefits I get, if benefiting others? maybe friends in this forum can explain
Nothing. By benefiting others in the form of sending merit you are essentially helping them with ranking up, and the forum ( by weeding out/making the difference between good and bad posts). Unless ofcourse you make a deal with someone that you trade your merit for their merit, however not only is that against the rules, it also won't work in the longterm, due to you not being a merit source and only receiving back 0.5 sMerit/1m... |

Is there a possibility to add THANKS BUTTON ?
Instead of replying with Thank you, all we need to do is to click that button and we can maximize the essence of our post/activity.
In merit system only member upto higher rank are able to give it but in thanks system all ranks are allowed to give it and the counter for this doesn't matter for our ranking unlike merit.
-1. I think merit is mostly already used this way -- as an expression of gratitude when solving a technical issue for example. Adding another button for essentially the same function but with no real purpose would just clutter up the forum and confuse people. |

ok! nice! Now I see my oldies addresses (contains coins)
Could I'lll try a txindex=1 et reindex=1 in conf file?To be sure to have transaction listed in new wallet, cause I've so much coins!!!  Thank's!! nice! A last question!
How can I get back an orphan transaction?Txindex=1 would indeed list ALL the transactions that have ever happend on the blockchain, however if you already added your private key/adress/watch only adress in a new wallet, it shouldn't make a difference. As txindex=0 already indexes from these things. How can I get back an orphan transaction? If your transaction got orphaned it means that it never got spend"confirmed" succesfully, or became invalid later on, and thus it should still be in your wallet. I believe that even the HEX transaction code will be still valid, and you should be able to push the tx back to the mempool using something like this, https://coinb.in |

Another question. When we try to post an image on bitcointalk.org, the image doesn't show but error message say "bitcointalk.org" "image proxy: invalid image" in red color.
What picture file format is best use here, is there anything we can do to help presenting the imagine we want?
Thank you for your help!
You are probably linking the URL to the image, not the actual image itself. So like this, https://i.redd.it/z8kvlyeu7esy.jpg instead of https://www.reddit.com/r/Ice_Poseidon/comments/666epr/the_richest_man_in_la/Also, can newbies post images and pictures? or only jr. members can post pictures and images... ? Thanks for letting me know.
No, due to abuse ( people trolling with sockpuppets) i believe it is Jr member + only. |

Hi,
I was looking around on coinmarketrecap and noticed the differ in prices on a coin on different exchanges. In one case I found the difference to be +/-30%. Obviously I'm a newbie but the possibility of making such easy profit seem to good to be true..
Can someone explain this as it cannot be this easy to profit by simply transferring coins between exchanges to sell at a higher price...
Thanks,
Newbie
Indeed. The coins you are referring to probably have a really low liquidity ( volume ), which is the reason why they're priced so differently on different markets. As a result of that you may or may not be able to sell the coins, or move them fast enough to make a profit. What you are trying to do is called "Arbitrage". See https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/arbitrage.asp |

There are some ico that is extremely hyped many of crypto experts recommend to invest this hyped ico.soo i want to know what is the benifits of buying this hyped icos
Hello It very depends, some hyped ICOs can go under ICO price, and actually lot of coins are being trader under ICO price. You never know what price will be and it can change dramatically. So, it is better to invest in a good ICO what you trust and believe Which makes sense. Uncapped ICO's that are hyped will cause everyone that is remotely interested in the project to invest in the ICO, which means that there will be little to no market/buyers for the coin after the ICO, usually causing it to drop beneath the ICO price. A good example is bancor. https://www.bancor.network/discover They raised over 150 million$, and currently are worth just a little bit more then that. https://qz.com/1004892/the-bancor-ico-just-raised-153-million-on-ethereum-in-three-hours/However, if you would've simply held bitcoin, or eth, you would've made a much bigger profit.  |

I'm not entirely sure how the situation on Kraken is, but i've margin traded on Poloniex before, i can't imagine that they're very different. On kraken especially, how does someone "increase" his position on a leveraged position ? You basically transfer more funds to your margin trading account, so that you have a bit more "margin" % before you are liquidated. That's atleast how it worked on poloniex. And also, it could seem obvious to you but I'd like to know what does margin fees mean exactly, I'm talking about the running marging fees, in the case of Kraken, 0.01% every 4 hours, does it apply to only the amount you borrowed ? the amount you borrowed + your current gains ? just your gains ? It seems very illogical to me to ask for fees over money that hasn't been borrowed from them, but rather is money that you earned yourself,m however this DOES seem to be the case. Take a look over here where someone had more or less the same question as you. https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/70w7cw/marginleverage_fees_question_on_kraken/dn6dyqy/?st=jdyvnihj&sh=fe58411d |

Good day to all.
I just want to ask, Will I have a merit? How can I have a merit if no one wants to give it.
And can I have a sendable merit?
Every month does each account have merit?
Sorry I'm a newbie
You will only get merit by making constructive posts. There's no other magical way to get them, you're indeed fully dependant on other users for them to give you merit. And can I have a sendable merit? Each merit you receive will net you 0.5 sMerit. Every month does each account have merit? Only if you're a merit source, and you will not get merit, but rather x amount of sMerit to reward other users.. Otherwise no, you won't automatically get merits every month, that would destroy the entire purpose of the system. |

If you’re paranoid about your 24 word seed being compromised, would it be safe to put it on a pin protected iPhone/Android that you never take online?
Future thanks to all the replies!
Yes. If there is no data in or output, and you're certain of that, it should indeed be 100% safe to store your seed on. I do however would still recommend to keep another paper with your seed in a safe or something, incase your phone breaks down.. If you’re paranoid about your 24 word seed being compromised, would it be safe to put it on a pin protected iPhone/Android that you never take online?
Future thanks to all the replies!
For being a paraniod, why not? Even you take that online it will not be compromised. The only downside here is when you lose that phone, got wrecked or experienced a system and program failure. There's a chance, especially with android phones that you could get hacked by simply being online with an outdated operating system, and that your data will be compromised. |

I would add...
Never trade alts until you can explain the nounce. Don't know what that is? Exactly.
Never use an exchange without a business license.
I assume with nounce you actually mean the mining definition of a "nonce"? Or what are you actually referring to? I'm quite curious.
so u suggest that coinbase is not a good place to keep ur btc?
Nope. If you are not in controll of the private key, then it is not safe. If coinbase closes, your money is gone and there is nothing you can do about it. Keep what you need there, but have the rest in a wallet you have controll over. + The fact that you will need to pay hefty amounts of network fees, much higher then the standard ( they determine your broadcasting fees, not you..) |

Hey fellow Bitcointalk community i have came across this site
bitcointalk.to
Which looks exactly the same as Bitcointalk.org so i was wondering if it is a scam site to phish passwords from Bitcointalk.org users?
Kindly advise admin / mod
I have wondered this aswell. I believe it is just a mirror incase bitcointalk.org gets ddosed etc. Do note that it is in no way affiliated with bitcointalk.org itself, ( check who.is etc.). I doubt it is used for phishing since their login captcha doesn't even work. I'm not a 100% sure though so click on your own risk : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=login |

Remember that if you want an offline wallet, you will need to download the entire blockchain which I think is over 200gb.
No. You can simply generate a paper wallet from https://www.bitaddress.org/, then simply deposit on the adress given. I believe you can simply import the private keys into something like electrum, sign an offline transaction, and broadcast it with something like https://coinb.in/This might also be an interesting read. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/coldstorage.htmlRemember that if you want an offline wallet, you will need to download the entire blockchain which I think is over 200gb.
And update each time you connect, I assume? I mean, download the blocks found after the latest sync Then what's the point of having an offline wallet? This is just a regular core wallet you guys are talking about.. ? |

desktop wallet is not completely encrypted by default,its therefore upon you to protect yourself from exposure to ransomware violations. Your wallet activities can be tracked and stored at the provider level, this information then be used to by hackers.Every icon on your wallet will be broken and replaced by a generic that you will not be able to control, and just like that, all your money will be gone.
it takes skill and personal responsibility to secure your digital money its upto yo to keep them safe or else you wil be ripped and off they go.
Not sure what wallet you're using, but Electrum etc all recommend you to add a password on each individual wallet. Your wallet activities can be tracked and stored at the provider level Explain, how does this come in the hands of hackers/people who distribute ransomware? Also just using a VPN will prevent them from seeing what data you entered where. |

Please consider adding this information to the stickies for newbies OR (even better) cancel this Feature and ALWAYS show the untrusted feedback by default! This should really help keeping scammers out, since a lot of them only have untrusted feedback.
That really doesn't sound like a good idea with the amount of trolls and butthurt people this forum has. Take a look at my feedback for example. 9 untrusted negatives, and 1 positive one. This would make my feedback -99 or something ( not entirely sure how the trust system calculates that..?) While i've never scammed anyone. What i'm saying is that there's going to be a lot of false positive cases with the system change you are proposing. Inaccurate ratings or revenge ratings are extremely common. |
