2601  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: bitcoinemail.org decentralized temporary emails on: September 10, 2017, 09:33:16 AM
you have got really nice name and your site looks like clone of temp-mail.org but thats fine. I have used temp-mail before and it was really good service, what you have to do next is add few more domain names to use as email address. In no time many services might ban use of @bitcoinemail.org emails so adding new low cost domains on each week will be good step ahead.
Still doesn't make his service ""Decentralized"", It is actually quite the opposite. His site is not even open source, let alone "decentralized".

How does your service works? is it base on users session? if different users visits your site at the same time they will get different different emails or not?

And do you have logs all of this emails user's receive and the email of course? I bet this site will be useful to those people who doesn't want to give their personal emails to some unknown websites they're trying.

I do not keep a log of what everyone receives it auto-deletes every log every 25 min.

For your protection and mine Ive set a cron job to delete all log files every 25 minutes via " find /var/log/* -exec cp /dev/null {} \; " It does use a simple cookie for user sessions, so the emails are always unique.

It would be useful for places you wanted to try out. The TOS has more information.


  

Is there any way we as a ""customer"" / User can check that? That would be very nice.
I can't see any difference between your service and others like yopmail, apart from the fact that you are able to delete the email after a set period of time sort of like Wickr. However i don't think that should be called "decentralized".

You are still the one in charge of the site, therefore it is centralized. Users have to trust you to delete their emails.

If it was truly decentralized then we don't need to worry about you intercepting emails or not deleting it.

Theres plans in the works to integrate into blockchain, and I can understand your concerns. This is beta v0.1, and frankly no one says anyone has to use it. Just trying to help others not get spam on basic sites like forums etc. I know I will use it for sure glad I took the time to make it work to my privacy standard.

So if your worried/paranoid don't use it for any serious sh**, keep it basic.  ....Nuff said....
 

How would you integrate something like sending emails in a blockchain? That sounds overly complicated, but i'm very curious to see how you'd do that.

online wallet=not safe
offline/paper/client=50% safe
I donīt think there is a method to secure 100%
Your post was totally useless, and also, totally wrong.

An online wallet can still be 99.99 ( 100)% safe, aslong as you can verify you're the only one with the private keys.

Paper / Client are i'd say 99.999% safe in terms of overall security of the software. Unless you get ratted there is no way you'd lose your bitcoins. Brute force is something that really doesn't exist.

Paper is paper. how can anyone get to something you wrote down? How is that "just" 50% safe?
2603  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are my bitcoins safe in blockchain.info? on: September 09, 2017, 04:07:06 PM
My only problem with blockchain.info is its association with the well known scammer Roger Ver. Other than that, I don't have any issues with them and I am using their wallets for more than a year now.

Can you elaborate on this? Have you any proof?
That's pretty mean tbh.

If you were really that curious, it would've been better to open a new thread, you currently are bumping a thread that has been dead for over a week.

Either way, Roger Ver was i'd say co-owner / Majority investor of blockchain.info, https://www.coindesk.com/roger-ver-blockchain-past-present-future/ One of the first investors.

This was back in 2014. I am not sure if he still owns it / sold it.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ver#Bitcoin aswell.

Too much FUD on china. This will be resolve soon and the price will go back to normal or back to going to the moon. Everything drops when there is bad news coming from china, but it always bounce back.

You can keep saying this until it doesn't, which, with how fast things are changing now, ( new laws, bills, regulations), won't be that long.

%% That China is going to ban all forms of cryptocurrency / cryptocurrency trading is becoming bigger and bigger everyday, They're a somewhat "communist" country afterall.

The Chinese government wants complete control over it. Once they find out they don't, & they also won't, surely something big will happen.

This whole ICO banning is just the start, or did you think that this would seriously be it? Because they haven't accomplished anything really with that ban.


I'm very afraid of the future of crypto in China.
This is going to slow down crypto , no doubt, but for those that really want to invest they are going to find a way even if that means violating their laws, this is no different than when the US banned gold and many did not obeyed the law and kept holding their gold.

Surely there will always be some people which will just continue trading, but the general public won't risk being thrown in prison for speculating a couple G's on crypto, which means that crypto is never going to become ""Mainstream ""Mainstream"" As VISA or PayPal is right now, which is, in my opinion, a shame.

We are selling "pump coins" (signals before the pre pump), if you want to buy before everyone just contact @Cryptomaniac007 on Telegram and negotiate a price.


How do you "obtain" these signals. Do you guys make the pump yourself?

I mean if these signals were 100% correct, why would you bother selling them?
You can make endless amounts of money yourself.

This seems like a scam to me.
Anyone who thinks about buying this should heavily investigate the legitimacy of this product.

Hi,

I am starting a business in canada and I would like to know the best way to accept bitcoins ?

I need to think about the receipt and taxes declaration etc etc ..

so I want all my process to be legit and I need some info about that

I am also looking for a good lawer and accounting person specialized in crypto regulations


Please let me know

Honestly, you really shouldn't take any legal advise from this forum.
If you're offering goods or you need  automatic payments for your business, i would recommend Bitpay.com , https://bitpay.com/

Bitpay is the best way to receive bitcoin from customers online in my opinion. I use it all the time myself aswell, without any issues.

As to how legal all of this is in Canada, I have no idea.

That's not really how it works. I'm sorry. To get your account back, you will need to sign a message from a bitcoin adress that has been staked on the account, If you don't have an adress added to it, well. Best of luck getting it back.

I spoke to them and they charge about 700€ for advertising on their site

with a-ads i paid only about 100$ for 100k clicks

has anyone  tried coinmarketcap for advertising

Coinmarketcap also uses cointraffic.io, if i recall correctly, or they used too, to display advertisements on their site, you can start a campaign >100$ on http://cointraffic.io directly. If i recall correctly, you can also choose which sites you want to advertise on.

Might want to check that out. You may not get as much traffic, but it is good to see the conversion%% rates and stuff like that.


Edit: yes coinmarketcap also uses cointraffic.io,

2611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Key generation on: September 04, 2017, 01:29:48 PM
Hey everybody!

I started reading about Bitcoin this weekend and I've got 2 open questions before daring the step to invest money into it.

I've read about the different kind of wallets and since I only want to invest I'd be interested in an offline created paper wallet for cold storage. Now I've followed the steps on Bitcoins page with saving the key generator to my pc, going offline and well generating the key but I wondered: in theory isn't it possible that somehow somebody randomly generates the exact same private key I just did and thus gets access to my Bitcoins that are already linked to my private key? I know the chance is extremely low with 1 to 10^77 but still. Is it possible?

Another question I've got is, when I'm ready to spend my Bitcoins I'll link my private key to an online wallet right? A file will be created on my pc which I should always keep on an external device, encrypted and secured by a password. If I lose said external device or it breaks down shouldn't I still be able to acces my savings if I still have my private key? The one thing i definetly learned is, that I should never tell anyone my private key because if I do they can access my Bitcoins. But when they can shouldnt I be able to do so too even if I lose my wallet file?

Perhabs I've got some really heavy misconceptions with the whole concept of cryptocurrency and I just wanted to clarify them. I hope someone can help me with this Smiley

Thanks and cheers!

First thing is you misunderstand what private keys, public keys and addresses are. So let's clear that up first.

Private keys are 256bit random numbers. Private keys are never made public. They remain secret.

Public keys are derived from private keys and are mathematically related to them. You can't derive a private key from a public key. Each private key has just one public key. They are called a key pair. The public key is revealed to the world and the world uses it to verify transaction signatures generated by your secret private key without you having to expose said private key to the world. Bitcoin public keys are also 256bits.

Hash functions - Hash functions take arbitrary sized data and output numbers of a fixed size. They are one way functions. You can't take the output of a hash function and determine the input. Hash functions are used to create "fingerprints" of data. If even a single bit in the data changes the output of the hash function will change.

Bitcoin addresses are public keys run through hash functions. The hash functions used result in 160bit addresses.

Because 256bits is greater than 160bits all addresses can be unlocked by more than one public/private key pair. That's where the 296 comes from. But this refers to key pairs behind bitcoin addresses not private keys behind public keys. An address is not the same as a public key. It is the public key run through hash functions.

There is such a thing as a deterministic wallet and that uses a single random number to generate a whole tree of addresses. We don't call that random number a private key though. We call it a seed. Each address there has its own private key and they are indistinguishable from randomly generated keys to anyone who doesn't have the seed.


Quote
Addresses are derived from the 160-bit hash of the public key. Public key, used by network participants for verifying your signed transactions, is a 256-bit number.

Thus, there are many public keys (and corresponding private keys) that would match any given address.

This is called "hash collision" - a well studied, mostly theoretical concept.

The probability of this happening is astronomically small. The smallness of it is hard to express in words and to grasp intuitively.

Also see https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1w1ipk/odds_the_same_private_key_will_be_generated_twice/

This is from a reddit post. Yes, it is possible, but the chances are so small, you are more likely to be hit be an airplane.

And yes. As long as you have your private key, even if your system somewhere fails, you will be able to import the private key in a wallet like electrum, and thus access your keys.

See http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-sweep-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients

More detailed, http://www.thecleverest.com/importing-bitcoin-from-a-paper-wallet-into-electrum/

But, with the private key, you can only recover the bitcoins on that adress, therefore it is better to also write down and remember the seed of your wallet.

Quote
Even though the private keys are generated from the same seed, you cannot derive the other private keys from it. It is however possible if you do have the master public key of wallet.

2612  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: USER MUST DEMAND TO EXCHANGES - Smart Dynamic Withdrawal Fees on: September 04, 2017, 01:11:09 PM
I think this is not even ONE Exchange uses: Smart Dynamic Withdrawal Fees.

I hope some of the people from Exchanges read this and understand that Dynamic Fee for BTC withdrawals is something that would help them differentiate from other exchanges and get more customers (apart from another bunch of features that a good, respectable exchange must have)

What are your thoughts on this matter?

I think you are right. The reason i am still partly using poloniex is because they only charge 0.0001 per TX for fee. For small amounts / dust i almost pay no fee on poloniex.

But whenever i use bittrex, and i want to withdraw 10$, i am paying them 4.6$ in transaction fees. This is x10 the amount poloniex is charging, and way overpriced.
It would indeed be great to see some exchanges changing this, but i reckon it is too much of a hassle for them.

it should not be a hassle for them. there are API whose you can consult to calculate the fee amount LIVE. You can use https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to calculate them. and theres an API no use it in code.

If exchanges wanted they could even give the user a choice of the priority for the withdrawal.

I guess they are too busy counting fiat and BTC...  Tongue

Yeah, even if they could, i bet they really aren't interested, since this is probably where they are making the most money from. Bittrex gets an average of ~0.1 per TX they sent out, since there's usually like 100 adresses in one TX.

Q. If I purchase BTC through Visa Card in my Cex.io account, will they allow me to transfer my BTC amount in my Blockchain.info wallet?


Also let me know if thr is any-other safe place to purchase BTC from Visa Card.

Thank you for your replies.

Cex.io looks like a regular exchange to me, so yes that should be possible. Although i wouldn't recommend using Cex.io nor would  i recommend blockchain.info

I've never heard about Cex.io, but i'm sure you know they're legit. Blockchain.info had some issues with their wallets in the past, and with them you don't really control your private keys. ( neither do they. ).

Try to use Coinbase.com to buy BTC from, and use a hardware wallet like electrum to store it on.

2620  Economy / Exchanges / Re: share yours good and bad experience in coinbase and coins.ph on: September 03, 2017, 10:57:50 AM
I'm not from the Philippines, so they might have different restrictions in place. After using coinbase for around 3 years, they have been very reliable and never had any problems with using them. I have heard they were blocking accounts that used gambling services, which seems a bit weird, but I'm not sure they are still doing that.

Probably has something to do with US laws which they need to follow. Coinbase is extremely regulated in this position.

Something i found from another thread,

" the federal government has a law - intended to ban online gambling - by making it a crime for any financial intermediary to service gambling companies and proceeds. "

Also, http://www.bitcoinbettingreview.com/coinbase-shutting-accounts-transferring-gambling-sites/ , It seems that this is only for US accounts?

I'm not entirely sure about that though.
