Did anyone ever receive an email from them before?
Had multiple problems,emailed them a lot but they never do reply...
I'm trying to email them I'm not receiving a confirmation link in email to withdraw...it worked before now I'm not getting it


There support suck,never do answer any emails


Isn't coinpot partly owned by MellowAds? If i remember correctly i've read that they were involved in the project aswell.

Their support usually answers pretty quickly, might be an idea to shoot them a PM/Ticket on their http://mellowads.com site?

If they're actually involved, they might be able to fix your issues rather quickly, or atleast give you an explanation.

Just imagine how pathetic you have to be to use this software on your site, literally 0 effort, and only made to scam other people.

Why are you even posting this? Did you install some backdoors into it? The core audience that is interested in these scripts are money hungry retards. They're not going to tip you a single penny.

Instead you will get red trust for helping scammers.
Hope it was worth it.
2523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are "Stakes" in Bounty Campaigns? on: October 16, 2017, 08:22:41 PM
Can you please guide me what is the term "stake"?

Bounty campaigns are using this word/term and reward the bounty participants with stakes.

I would really appreciate if anybody here could guide me. Why don't they reward the participants in crypto currency or their own token? Why use this term and not simple points?

Thanks
Stakes are some kind of coin, if their project runs POS, instead of calling a coin a "coin", you call them "stakes" see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof-of-stake

because they are self-rewarding,
Quote
"a share or interest in a business, situation, or system.
"GM acquired a 50 per cent stake in Saab""

If you own a stake, you own a part of the mining process.

A stake behaves exactly like the way a normal coin would do, but you get interested on it, because of the mining your "stake" does.

Oh, so that is same as in "Proof of Stake". If participants have more stakes, they would definitely be able to do more data mining. But now another follow-up question is, does the specific coin, say WaqarCoin running bounty campaign, provide stake for the mining of WaqarCoin only? Or does it provide those stakes for mining some other cryptocurrency?
Secondly, is the stake usually equal to the amount of coins which can be mined by node?
Thirdly, it seems like that bounty campaigns are not directly rewarding the participants by giving them coins, rather they are providing them stakes which can be used to do more mining and thus earning more. Is that correct?
Lastly, if the above third point is correct, how do ICOs pay for allocating the stakes to the participants? Usually ICOs reserve 2% or something for the bounties, but how do the ICOs pay for the cost of stakes? If they simply pay in their tokens/coins, it would make complete sense to me. But how does that work with stakes?

It's for the "WaqarCoin" only yes. Unless the developer rewards their participants in some other POS currency..

Quote

"By node" you mean something like a masternode? I think that depends on what the thought process of the developer is, i don't think that has to be the case.

https://pivxmasternode.org/what-is-a-masternode/ < Here for example, they just made up the % relations.


Quote
Thirdly, it seems like that bounty campaigns are not directly rewarding the participants by giving them coins, rather they are providing them stakes which can be used to do more mining and thus earning more. Is that correct?
Yes, but these "Stakes" are also coins. You don't need to necessarily stake with them, you can also spend them. - Ofcourse long-term, it would be smarter to stake them, but they really behave the same as coins do in POW, in terms of sending, as far as i know.

But how does that work with stakes?
Exactly the same as you'd do with a POW coin as a developer. You simply premine a part of the coins, aka stakes, and give them out. People then can decide for themselves if they want to stake them, or not.

2524  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: mining: which cryptos to mine with which gadget and calculate on: October 16, 2017, 08:06:51 PM
Hi,

im very new to cryptocurrencies... i think i understand  more or less how they work and im interessted in owning some and collect more knowledge.
it seems that mining is only a good idea if you have efficient hardware and cheap power. so it will be hard to try some things without burning money, or is there an easy way without purchasing extra hardware when having a low performance notebook?

thats why i am looking for a way to get some cryptocurrencies and "play" with them and i found a possibility to buy a "Antminer D3" at a mining farm for EUR 3.300
The guy who is offering that machine wrote that it is able to mine 17 GH/s at a power consumption of 1000W, and 1KWh will cost 13 Euro cent, in addition 50 Euro for the place per month. He also gave me a link to a calculator (cryptocompare) for Ethereum (ETH).

So, does that mean that only Ethereum can be mined with the Antminer D3? Or can it be configured anyhow else to mine other crytocurrencies? Can it be split to earn for example 4 different cryptocurriencies simultanously?
I am not sure if this calculation is correct:
Power: 1 kWh * 24 hours * 365 days * 0,13 cent/kWh = 1.138,80 Euro/year
ETH 17 GH/s mines
If i fill in these data into the calculator it tells me that it would create a profit of 285k USD per year. Whats my mistake?  Huh

Thanks for any help!
dariesi




If you're willing to split your power(k) between those 4 crypto's, i guess it could theoretically be possible, but it really isn't something you want to do.

About the Antminer X11:

Quote
it can only mine X11 coins, of which there are not too many around these days. The number of profitable X11 coins in high demand is effectively limited to Dash right now, although that situation may change over time.

http://cryptomining-blog.com/8913-new-bitmain-antminer-d3-asic-offering-15-ghs-x11-hashrate/

Which means it can only mine DASH, if you're looking for popular altcoins.

This is what you'd get yearly, https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/dash?HashingPower=15&HashingUnit=GH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1200&CostPerkWh=0.12



That still seems pretty high to me, so i'm wondering if that actually is right...

2526  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Buy bitcoin for 10USD, transaction fees is 6USD on: October 16, 2017, 01:59:33 PM
Hi,

Lets say I want to buy bitcoin for 10USD. Do I have to pay 6USD as transaction fees? How do you trade really small values of bitcoins?(Withdraw from one bitcoin wallet to another?)
No. It surely isn't 6$. There might be some services that charge that much, but it really isn't needed. To check how much fees you need to add, use https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

to get the right sat/byte. Also if your tx has no priority, you really don't need to add a 180/b fee.
2527  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Import Exodus private keys to Electrum? on: October 16, 2017, 11:07:36 AM
I use Exodus to store my coins but it has high fees which cant be changed.

If I want to send my coins from Exodus to Electrum I have to pay a $4 fee.

But I thought if I import the private keys to Electrum, then I have more control over the fees.

Does this work?

Yes, you would be able to toggle the fees yourself, but depending on how the fees are calculated, it may not be cheaper at all.

I don't know how much bitcoin you are sending, but you should check out this site, https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

To see if you are sending the right amount, or if you are being overcharged.

I have heard that you can store photos but its limited and it will cost you to pay a huge transaction fee.

You can make a contract in ethereum, deploy it, and then you will be indeed able to store text strings / links to pictures.

There have been some guys that indeed stored pictures on the ETH Chain, see here, https://boobies.surge.sh/#after - / NSFW-ish, Pretty funny, that this is so easily possible, and can be stored indefinitely.
2529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: a few questions about alt coins and the market on: October 15, 2017, 03:47:26 PM
so i am confused by some things and i know the best way to know the answers to these questions are by investing but at this moment i cant.

so the questions are as followed

1: if you buy altcoins from for example bittrex does that affect the market? like does the price go up from that altc? (just to be sure)

2: is bittrex instant or more like a marketplace, because you can see bids and asks from other people. so do the investors sell it to each other?


1. Yes. By buying a certain coin, you make more demand for it, thus the orderbook shrinks, thus the price will ultimately go up.

2. Depending on what you are selling / buying for. If you buy the current lowest price on the orderbook, it is indeed going to be instant, there is no verification or something like that if you place a buy / sell order.

2530  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Where did my btc go on: October 14, 2017, 09:10:52 PM
I had btc on my ledger nano s for a while never had a problem until I checked it today the amount of btc I had is now bcc what happened please help

After the fork  you would receive 1 BCH for every BTC you owned.

https://ledger.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/bitcoin-cash

Read the article, did you sync everything? did you switched chains while updating? Either way follow the instructions and see if that resolves it.

Are you sure your Bitcoin is gone? That seems highly unlikely to me. Restore your seed on a hardware wallet like electrum, and let us know what your balance is.


Or simply check your bitcoin adress, to see if there has been any outgoing transactions.. If not, your bitcoin should still be there.
2531  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Download stuck on: October 14, 2017, 07:56:55 PM
I can't I started a new download |o|

The strange thing is, I'm at 40% and the download has slowed down to 0.7% an hour?

It will take another 3 days to download this, this can't be normal?

Maybe the same this will happen again, it just stops at 90%.

I don't know. 

What is your internet speed?

I'm not entirely sure how bitcoin core calculates percentages, but if it is calculated time wise, and not MB wise, it could indeed be that it slows down, since the first 1/2/3/4 years of blocks were probably all half-empty / not filled up, which means they are less MB to download.

Which would explain why it would be slower further down the road, as more and mre transactions went through = more MB to download.

If the same thing happens be sure to get the log, and post it, as that indeed shouldn't be happening.

See this post about what's wrong with it, it covers it pretty well, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2267996.msg23006054#new

2533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH and ICO's on: October 14, 2017, 02:06:48 PM
Correct. Currently, ICO is the main reason people buy Ethereum and keep the price flying. What happens when people are getting enough of ICO? ETH price would go significantly lower, I would say. Remember what happen to ETH price when China banning ICOs? Yeah, that's proving that ICO has much influence on ETH price. I think the same would happen when ICOs bubble is over unless there is a new trend hype involving ETH, just like what ICO is right now.

This is speculative and no one can give you a definite answer.

For now ETH's only usecase is indeed hosting ICO's, but as the project further develops, they might add new things which keep them valuable.

Better mining systems, better scalability, and even if all those ICO's are over, the projects are still hosted in ETH's environment ( ERC20 Tokens ).

So unless all these projects die out, ETH is still going to have value, since it keeps these projects running. ( Their tokens, not the product necessarily).

And if these projects succeed on their platform,  the ETH "platform" will get more usecases, say for example golem succeeds into making this decentralized megacomputer, you'd still need eth -> golem to use it.


I suspect that if ETH fails, alot more crypto's are going to fail. Surely it's market price / cap will go down and up, but i don't see them being replaced anytime soon yet.
2534  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: where, how do you store 1169 different Cryptos offline? on: October 14, 2017, 12:59:35 PM
coinomi supports about 70, exodus seems to support a lot too http://support.exodus.io/article/96-exodus-wallet-roadmap
but its still only supporting just the top 20 or so coins.
So that must mean that unless all these people are using paper wallets (and i doubt it) these people buying all these alt coins are storing them on online exchanges?? There's no other way right?

There is. You just download the official daemon / core hardware wallet for the designated coin, and store them there.

For example Litecoin, https://litecoin.org/ Under downloads you can download their official wallet, which is only used for their cryptocurrency.

You can do this for most wallets, use coinmarketcap.com to visit their homepage, and download the wallet from there.

If you are going to download wallets for altcoins that aren't in the top 100 / lower volume / lower marketcap, you should always make sure that their wallet is safe and secure, developers sometimes hide malware in there.

Usually this isn't the case with most established coins, but you never know.
2535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Same bitcoin address for two different site on: October 14, 2017, 12:20:09 PM
And is this a safe way to accumulte my bitcoins or is it better to have different address in different wallets?

It is better to have a different address for every transaction.

A bitcoin address is NOT an account number.  It is more like an invoie number (it allows you to determine who paid you, when they paid you, and why they paid you).

You wouldn't re-use the same invoice number for multiple payments from different people (or even multiple payments from the same person), would you?
And do you know any safe wallet that will be useful to have different address for diferrent cryptocurriencies?

I personally used Jaxx.io, although some people deem this one unsafe due to vulnerabilities, however i have never had any issues. -> https://jaxx.io/support.html it supports ~12 coins,  BTC, LTC, ETH, DASH (not on iOS), ETC, REP, ZEC (not on iOS), DOGE, ICN, GNT, GNO, DGD

Edit: https://medium.com/@homakov/why-you-shouldnt-worry-about-the-jaxx-hack-6344a4c4a11

But i am also hearing alot of positive things about Coinomi, https://coinomi.com/ which supports over 64 coins currently.

As always use them at your own risk.
2536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Same bitcoin address for two different site on: October 14, 2017, 11:23:46 AM
What site? If you are talking about online wallets, don't even use them in the first place.

If you are talking about receiving coins or sending coins from and to the same address, it is absolutely safe and normal to do so. The only concern with using an address more than one is the privacy complication that it may have. Eg, if you send coins to two different sites from the same address, it would be clear that the two accounts are connected. Same goes for receiving.

I don't see it as a huge concern though.
Im talking about put the same bitcoin address in two different website to mining or make bitcoins or something like this

You can do that yes.

You can receive bitcoins from multiple places on one adress, there is absolutely no problem with that, unless you are doing alot of micro transactions, effectively creating "dust", see here for more information.

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10986/what-is-meant-by-bitcoin-dust/10987

Say you use Nicehash for your CPU mining and another site for your GPU mining, ( it isn't a good idea, but possible ), then there should be no issue to use the same adress of your hardware wallet for both of these sites / programs.

oh really so do you mean that a paper wallet can store basically any coin from conimarketcap?

I don't think there is such a wallet, but with a bit of improvising you can use an old laptop, download a multi altcoin wallet such as Jaxx.io, or https://coinomi.com/ put all your coins on there, turn off the wifi and voila, here is your "offline" wallet.

Even if the laptop breaks, aslong as your harddrive is still good, and you still memorize your codes/pw, i'm pretty sure you can recover them easily.
2539  Other / Meta / Re: Why are allowed Store's topics in Auctions sections on: October 14, 2017, 09:14:34 AM
In future if you think something is in the wrong section, just report it to the moderators. You'll then find out whether it's been moved or dealt with a little later on. If it hasn't and you believe it should be then it might be worth messaging a moderator for an explanation. I'm sure they wouldn't mind explaining why. But, yeah these don't look like they belong there, so go ahead and give them a report.

Yep. I reported both of the posts yesterday, the one made by the newbie account seems to be pruned, and the ""shop"" thread seems to be moved to Invites & Accounts.

Seems OP never reported them??
2540  Other / Meta / Re: Why are allowed Store's topics in Auctions sections on: October 13, 2017, 07:06:45 PM
Hello,

Why mods are allowing pure selling/store topics in Auctions section like those:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2263121.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2267317.0

OP is keeping the topic locked, then he's unlocking it just for bump and locking again. This is clearly not an Auction and must be only in

Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Goods > Digital goods > Invites & Accounts

Have you reported them? I'm pretty sure noone of the moderators have seen it yet, which is probably the reason it hasn't been moved yet..

Not really a matter of allowing, but more like seeing it between all the other ""normal"" account selling auctions.

I'm still wondering who would buy these accounts from a guy with 6 posts in total, 99% chance that these are hacked accounts, if he even delivers.

Still wondering sometimes why the forum allows these guys to sell them like this :/
