He's talking about https://wcex.com
https://who.is/whois/wcex.com (registered in the caymans, Tongue)

The site looks pretty interesting, and i'm contemplating about trying them out for a change. It becomes a gamechanger for me the moment they add dividend && non marginal orders..

I think you are right and my Journey to find a Payment Platform that Accepts Bitcoins Continues.

I put there 10 Guides and some codes, just as a test, I bought them from myself and apparently they will keep the BTCs.

https://i.imgur.com/XKZA7Dl.png
I'm pretty sure that's because the threshold of 0.01BTC is not reached. (Or not?)

I haven't heard of the site, and whether or not they are legit but it's explicitely stated that it will be withdrawn to your external wallet once it reaches 0.01BTC..
Is there a possibility of lowering it? (Or do they also process payments lower than 0.01 manually?)

Not saying you're lying here, just playing the devils advocate, as their site sure does look pretty sketchy.

I'm not sure about the credibility of this site because I never heard of it. However, by simply typing gourl scam on google, you'll see lots of posts stating that this site is scam. Sharing the URL below:

https://www.google.com/m?q=gourl+scam&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&espv=1#sbfbu=1&pi=gourl scam

It's up to you if you want to check each and every post in the results. Personally, I suggest that you stay away from this site especially because you have not been able to withdraw your current balance.
Yep. Most likely a scam now that i look through those accusations, (or just really, really bad customer support, in which case you're better off using any other payment processor anyway).

Can anyone post a link to Uranix website, or White Paper for Uranix ?
I've tried, but nothing, and then i mean absolutely nothing shows up when you google any of these terms.

I highly doubt there's a whitepaper, and if so, they've done a fabulous job of hiding it.

Even better, there's not even any discussion about them/it. It's amazing and shocking at the same time how little is known about all these tokens, and yet people are still buying them like crazy..

Good for yobit i guess.

There's no one either who knows how many of these tokens really are in circulation, and whether or not they actually exist on protocol level, or if yobit is just editing their own database to generate more whenever it suits them.

Dear
If you looking for bitcoin and cryptocurrency supported Debit or Credit card, you can order card from us, BITVISA: https://bitvisa.cc/
Our topic in bitcointalk here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113581


your site doesn't strike me as looking particularly trustworthy...?
And to order your basic level card, which can load up to 250$ MAX, i have to pay 69EUR for the card alone, with no VCC available? Doesn't sound like a very good deal to me, compared to the site linked above. *(Although that site sounds a bit too good to be true*)


Anyways, how does this all work, since the providers of these cards most likely get them from VISA, what will happen if they go out of business? Will my money in those cards vanish into thin air or?
825  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Lack of Bitcoin debit card providers on: April 26, 2019, 12:29:35 PM
What's up with Bitpay? - https://bitpay.com/card/

I was actually not looking for a physical card, but rather a virtual one to complete some purchases on sites that only accept VISA/Mastercard.
Didn't expect it to be this hard.

The closest that i was able to find was https://www.mycard2go.com/en/faq#card but they limit purchases up to 100 EUR and don't accept BTC..

Are there any options available for cards without KYC that accept BTC at all?

I know that Wirex is most used recenty, is someone using this card maybe? https://paycent.com/
Paycent doesn't list Bitcoin, and i'm not sure, but i think they only accept Visa/Mastercard payments, which is quite ironic? (+ They require KYC)..?


Looking to add new debit cards to review to our site, which ones should we be reviewing first? Thanks

Site is this one btw, no one have to visit it Smiley https://gocryptowise.com/debit-cards/

Now this looks promising... https://cryptopay.me/bitcoin-debit-card/ 1000 EUR for unverified accounts, and the fees don't seem to bad..

Has anyone tried these guys?

Wow you where able to post four lines now, bravo! Still completely about nothing, for the sake of posting and attaching me with your false premise. Zero arguments, zero consistency, with factual error and slander. You are nothing more than a pay2post abuser, with nothing interesting to say.     
I guess that makes two of us, considering all your logical fallacies, tu quoque, and strawmanning.

So why are you utilizing it? You think you are somehow different, better because you have a shitmixer signature and thus allowed to post one liners of zero value? Let me news flash you: you're not. You post is the display of hypocrisy and lack of interest in the future of this space. Sooner you realise how logos-less you are being here, the better for the sake of bitcointalk and bitcoin.

If you think I'm somewhat defending yobit here, you are mistaken. I'm just standing straight against the flow of false justice!  
How can you promote something but not stand behind it?

As far as i know, I've never promoted a HYIP or pump & dump scheme knowing what they'd do to unknowing investors. (You clearly do, as you don't even bother defending them?)

829  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: exchange paypal <---> bitcoin on: April 25, 2019, 05:31:40 PM

To buy bitcoin with paypal you use skrill and connect it to exchange for use of rapid transfer, yes all accounts need verification skrill, paypal and exchange account.

Then the entire thing that you're selling is a bit misleading.

I can connect my bank account to coinbase, sell my bitcoins -> bank account -> paypal.

Which is essentially what you're selling me.  I don't think anyone's looking for that...
If you were able to sell a direct tradelink/route instead.. well.. Contact me when you have.

Or the other way around paypal -> bank -> coinbase.. Hmmm..?
830  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Convert Google Play card on: April 25, 2019, 02:22:13 PM
Yes you can. Most exchanges won't accept Giftcards, but P2P sellers do. (Although you're bound to pay some fees.)

Paxful for example has tons of of buyers for Google Play giftcards. https://paxful.com/buy-bitcoin/google-play-gift-card#content

Roughly 6
Why not use an exchange to cash them out? Seems much easier if you just want to be done with it?

I. What's the markup rate,
II. what's the payment processor you want to use? (Bank transfer/SEPA/paypal?),
III. will you use escrow?
IV. and, can you sign a message proving you have 6 BTC, or not? (If you can't, you're just wasting your own time here.)
834  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Warning: Unknown block versions being mined? just seen this warning on: April 24, 2019, 07:49:09 PM
I don't think so. It seems to be something that occurs regularly..

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/46318/bitcond-v0-12-1-updatetip-6-of-last-100-blocks-have-unexpected-version

Yes. You can ignore this.

This means that some miners have mined (still compatible) blocks with a version number unknown to Bitcoin Core.

Generally this indicates that some miners have mined blocks that signal non Bitcoin Core compatible soft- or hard-forks. Very likely a 2MB hardfork after BIP109 implemented by Bitcoin Classic.
And it generally means that nothing special is happening really..
835  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Problem with my private key on: April 24, 2019, 03:26:02 PM
I would guess there is an error somewhere in private key generation in your script... most likely because it doesn't include this patch from the botg.sh shell script:
0.0.3 -remake key if it's not exactly 64

I was already thinking that there probably was something off about the code used for generation. I still find it quite weird that they're invalid and valid at the same time though..  Huh

How exactly does KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REf1wxAQb == KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REGDgzcJ1 ? Does the checksum not matter with wif keys?

Or i guess they share the same private key, from which the adress is derived, and this WIF encoded from again, correct?
836  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: April 24, 2019, 02:35:35 PM
Hi All,

Just wanted to understand what kind of returns the investors in this casino are making. A ballpark figure would help me make an informed decision to invest a small amount of bitcoin. Thank you in advance!

There's an interesting graph here. https://dicesites.com/bustabit
Not sure what % of profit is given back to the investors though, and whether that is monthly, daily, or whenever your funds got rolled over.

I'm pretty sure someone posted a thread in the securities or gambling section showcasing his returns in a number of casino's. I'm pretty sure bustabit was one of them, unfortunately i can't find the thread anymore.
837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Problem with my private key on: April 24, 2019, 10:47:24 AM
The script you linked only generates adresses.

You can't recover any private keys with any script, since it is a one way function.

KwFAa6AumokBD2dVqQLPou42jHiVsvThY1n25HJ8Ji8REf1wxAQb seems to correlate with 1Ga6WqY53kc14BRqmR4wbwi9zwbtmtiptC (or uncompressed 1LKqSeEt7z1YkeZuTP85cg1B4AdyoNhpdj)

Both of which hold 0 balance and have no transactions?


Note that you shouldn't post your private keys in public, as you're bound to get robbed big time.

My question is how can I recover my private key with this script . Is there any way to check the algorithm and create correct private key from wrong private key that generated?


If you've lost a number of characters from your private key, it's possible to bruteforce, yes, but i don't think that's what you're asking for here, is it?


Thank you for your reply.

This was a sample output from the script . My private key also start with K . Is there any mistake in this script generating pair of keys?
I tested this script 3 times and I was sure that keys are correct , but the tested private keys started with 5 . My key now started with K .

I haven't extensively looked into it, but the script seems to be from 2011,12.
Hence why they're not using compressed public keys, but uncompressed ones. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, it's just that compressed ones are smaller, and faster to generate (?)

Looks like the script does generate K.. keys. their method of doing so is probably considered a bit unorthodox by now? https://github.com/RobKohr/PHP-Bitcoin-Address-Creator/blob/master/README

Also, about the 5 vs K, if your private key starts with a K their public key is compressed.

If they start with a 5, they're not. (hence why the script gives you 5..., i'm pretty sure there was no compression of keys back then..)
Read more about it here; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80861.0

But why exactly are you using a script from 2011 to generate keys in the first place..? I don't understand?

839  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what is extra nonce ELI5 on: April 23, 2019, 07:26:15 PM
Can you tell me whether or not the answers in this thread explain your question sufficiently;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1040859.0 (And more specifically Danny's post, but it's really too big to quote in good faith here.)
I've got one more question. When I first thought of the nonce and the hashing algo I was under the assumption that once all the hashing is done there is then a calculation made with the nonce and then we get our block hash result.

This to me doesn't know look right. If it isn't please could someone tell me at what stage does the nonce come in when the calculations are being made?

The nonce is part of the data that is hashed for the blockhash. Thus it influences the result of the hashing function. Once you have the hash it is compared to the target. If your hash is below the traget value we have a new block, if not you change the data (e.g. nonce = nonce +1), hash and compare again. Once you have tried all possible nonces you have to change something different in order to get hash values for the block you did not try yet. There are several options, e.g. the transactions to include, the timestamp of the block or what is called the extranonce.

As i understand it, the extranonce is the amount of times a nonce had to "reset"/"increment" itself because no valid hash was found, but since i also just ever heard about this term, this is probably not the correct understanding of it.

<...

The solution to this is to add a field to the coinbase (the transaction contents of a block, stored as the merkle tree) called the extraNonce. The size of this extraNonce is only limited by the size of block itself, and so it can be as large as miners wish as long as the block size is within protocol limits.

If all 4 billion possible values of the nonce are exhausted, the extraNonce is added and incremented to the coinbase. A new merkle root and subsequently new block header are calculated, and the nonce is iterated over once again. This process is repeated until a sufficient hash is found.

It’s best to avoid adding the extraNonce until the nonce is exhausted, because any change to the extraNonce changes the merkle tree. This requires extra computation in order to propagate the change upwards until a new root of the merkle tree is calculated.

I dont appreciate you telling people not to trust me or not to use my "service" without basis.  
Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't you stating in the OP that you're sending over the "private key", and that you won't keep it because you delete the session?
You can access any of these keys/adresses whenever you want. We'd need to have blind trust in you not stealing your funds, and i don't see what would warrant that kind of trust. imo mindrust definitely has an argument here.

Just looking to mess around will send you your pkey via privnote over 2 or 3 messages . Manually entering from for offline system.
These are intended for novelty , I'm doing for fun wont be keeping keys(closing terminal after each generation) so if your pkey doesnt work I can retry.
Use these for a tip jar or faucet cash out, parking ect.

Even though you might be legit, It's still kind of awkward to store your funds on an adress you know someone has the private keys to. (And as rust stated, anyone can generate a vanity adress for themselves if they really want to do so.)
