141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC Segwit is over 70% on: April 15, 2017, 08:06:47 PM
Too late to buy, too early to sell. I did not trust Ltc very much.

Too late to buy? The pump has not even started yet...


I just bought 57 LTC coins.
142  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Did Craig Wright turn out to be Satoshi Nakamoto on: April 15, 2017, 07:50:06 PM


Or just a real good liar??


It looks like he presented some very convincing evidence, but it seems some still had doubts. Below are some excerpts from a CNBC article that came about a year ago, when Craig went public and made his claims.


"To prove his claim, Wright digitally signed a message using the cryptographic keys that were associated with the creator and was backed up by experts."


"These are the blocks used to send 10 bitcoins to Hal Finney in January [2009] as the first bitcoin transaction," Wright told the BBC."


"Jon Matonis, co-founder of the nonprofit Bitcoin Foundation, said he believed Wright's claims after seeing the same demonstration."


"During the London proof sessions, I had the opportunity to review the relevant data along three distinct lines: cryptographic, social and technical. Based on what I witnessed, it is my firm belief that Craig Steven Wright satisfies all three categories," Matonis wrote in a blog post on Monday."

"The social evidence, including his unique personality, early emails that I received, and early drafts of the Bitcoin white paper, points to Craig as the creator. I also received satisfactory explanations to my questions about registering the bitcoin.org domain and the various time-of-day postings to the BitcoinTalk forum. Additionally, Craig's technical working knowledge of public key cryptography, Bitcoin's addressing system, and proof-of-work consensus in a distributed peer-to-peer environment is very strong."



What do you guys think???

I'm glad you figured it out. Smiley


Thanks! Now I just wait for SegWit to activate  Wink

I am using the ltc electrum wallet for linux. You need to execute ./electrum-ltc script to run, anyhow, I was able to get it working and my balance shows in my wallet now. Not sure exactly what the problem was, but initially when I set up the wallet, I did nothing with it, then a few days ago, i recreated another wallet, with a wallet file called wallet_1. Anyhow I deleted the default wallet file and restarted the wallet and now the balance is showing. That scared me. I had $700 worth of LTC.


Thanks for the help guys.
145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Help with Electrum Lite Coin Wallet on: April 15, 2017, 02:35:29 AM

I don't get it the litecoin blockchain shows the proper balance for the address I sent to, however, my wallet, shows 0 balance. How could that be? I am starting to get really worried.
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Help with Electrum Lite Coin Wallet on: April 15, 2017, 02:01:46 AM
Electrum Litecoin works the same way as Electrum Bitcoin. It does not download the blockchain. If the light is green, then Electrum is probably working.

Click on deposits/withdrawals in Poloniex, and scroll the bottom, then click on Deposit/withdrawal history. Sometimes Polo puts a hold on certain withdrawals for security reasons. If that's the case, then the hold is usually released at 12am.

If it shows they already sent it, then you can look the transaction up on a block explorer to see what is happening with it.

just checked the litecoin blockchain. it's been well over an hour, and my coins have not arrived to my wallet. Below is the what the blockchain shows. Can anyone please help?

I have sent some LTC from Poloniex to my Electrum Lite Coin Wallet, but it's been over an hour, and nothing. showing 0 balance. Could this be because I just set up the wallet and it's downloading the entire blockchain before it will show my balance??

I thought it was a lite wallet and worked the same as the Bitcoin Electrum Wallet, but maybe not. Can someone please chime in.


When I click on the green dot, it shows connected to the network, and there is a message that says:


Blockchain: 118391 blocks

Getting Block headers from 8 nodes

server: electrum.ltx.xurious.com


Please advise.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 60,000 Unconfirmed transaction and counting on: April 14, 2017, 10:28:08 PM
This is why bitcoin won't ever handle as many transactions as VISA...Eth is way faster

This is not a big problem it is just false spam attack created  by the coders so that bitcoin network and miners get pressure to implement segwit or other solution. which is not needed

Yes, it is needed. obviously you know nothing about the blockchain.
149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ASICs and cellphone encryption on: April 14, 2017, 10:06:03 PM
Why do you need encryption on the calls, if you can use WhatsApp Voice calls with encryption --> http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/27/what-is-whatsapp-encryption-6535899/

I do not know how secure the encryption is on WhatsApp, but it gives you a option for more private calls. I have to say, privacy through any

cellphone provider is nearly impossible.  Angry and there are companies out there that can "spy" on everything you do on a cellphone :

https://www.flexispy.com/




WhatsApp, Signal, and iMessage from Apple are extremely secure because they use end to end encryption.
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ASICs and cellphone encryption on: April 14, 2017, 05:51:06 PM
Please note the encryption started with simple classic ciphers and then moved to DES, triple DES and after 2000, we got AES (Advance Encryption standard). AES is very strong but it is block cipher. Cellphone needs voice encryption. So, cell phones operate on stream cipher (bit by bit encryption technique). Currently, in Europe and USA, cellphones use A5 encryption standard for encryption over the air... The problem is it is no more secure. Many attacks have been reported and published. So, we can't say there will be a  quick solution.

You are spreading bad information. What you say may be true, in regards to direct phone calls, that is using your phone in the traditional form. Whatsapp, Signal, and Imessage from Apple, use a whole different way of encrypting, and they are  immune to the attacks you describe above. Please don't scare and confuse people.
151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ASICs and cellphone encryption on: April 14, 2017, 04:56:31 PM

What you are asking for is already done in different ways. There are many ways to communicate using encryption, either through your computer, or your Smartphone.

WhatsApp and Signal both use 256 bit AES encryption to secure text and voice communications, as long, both parties are using a version of the apps that support it.

As far as using encryption to communicate on your computer, look up Public Key Cryptography, and you should get a lot of hits.


On a note about using Asic chips for encryption, that is, using Chinese chips for encryption that are not owned by an American or European company is a big NO NO, at least at this point in time. This could change in the future.

153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 60,000 Unconfirmed transaction and counting on: April 14, 2017, 02:33:06 PM


you have little to no understanding of how bitcoin works and for the past month you have been constantly spamming useless topics and comments all over the forum about bitcoin
no matter what people are talking about, you just connect it to your chain of FUD trying so hard to create panic.
anyways thanks for making me laugh out loud, and also thanks for spreading the FUD for the past month about split so I can buy cheap coins.



I am glad that at least I made you laugh, however, I research everything before I post, so to attack me in that way, saying I don't know anything, or have very little understanding is unfair. Just because you and others don't agree, does not mean it's not true.

FUD? Not exactly sure what that is, however, I am not trying to create a panic, And I am totally against a split.
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 60,000 Unconfirmed transaction and counting on: April 14, 2017, 02:24:21 PM
What exactly is going on here?: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions Is it possible that It's some kind of attack from miners to make people think that we need Bitcoin unlimited? Hash rate is no longer being displayed on the first page for some reasons so I can't tell exactly.

Team WU&Ver is on again. Yesterday Ver declared war against core devs on his domain bitcoin.com and now another spam attack begins. Blocks were fine for a time and transactions were also fast.

These fucking parasites trying to take over bitcoin. Ain't somebody gonna do something about this?


Jihan Wu is running Bitmain (e.g antpool, and hashnest) in the same way that a communist government runs a nation. The only thing we can hope to do is band together and boycott the antpool, hashnet, his other products, and expose him for who he really is. Hopefully the miners will understand, in the long run, Bitcoin is better off without Jihan Wu and Bitmain.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC Segwit is over 70% on: April 14, 2017, 02:06:58 PM
BEWARE: FOUND WHAT'S BELOW ON ANOTHER BLOG.



currently Jihan Wu, or Jihad Wu as I like to call him, through his mines controls 27% percent of the hash power of Litecoin. He is currently voting for segwit, then when it gets close to all time high support, he is changing his signal, to pump and dump the price. He is also at the same time accused of secretly using ASICBOOST to cheat us all in the bitcoin sphere. He will fight to the end against segwit as it blocks his abilty to cheat us, and it renders alot of his hardware useless, which could bankrupt him.

Unless we can get 3% of the miners in pools for Lite coin to switch from pools in the control of Satan, and then hol for two weeks (bear in mind Jihad makes the machines and may have more standing by) the only possible way to get segwit is to use UASF, which is highly risky and never attempted.

Most of those statements are just patently false. Do you believe everything you read?

For example "renders alot of his hardware useless." Is just totally incorrect. He could still mine with that hardware, he would just lose his ASICBOOST 'advantage'. You should be more thoughtful before posting such drivel.

The one who lacks information, apparently is you.

Jihan Wu is probably using AsicBoost, besides on the antpool, his cloudmining operations. What if AsicBoost was taken away? That would be a major disaster for his cloud mining???

Why is the Antpool NOTORIOUS for producing empty blocks, a result of AsicBoost?

156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: F2Pool: "Segwit will be a disaster." on: April 14, 2017, 02:00:57 PM
Jihan Wu is the only problem Bitcoin is facing. Lets get together, and get off of the antpool and his cloudming at hashnet. He has imbedded so much garbage on his chips, how do we know that he has not inbedded worms, trojans, viruses, and other malicious bugs?

What is it going to do? Infect the stratum server, then the blockchain?  Roll Eyes

His equipment works on a network. What if, in very small amounts, he was able to divert your payments to his pockets, covertly, just like he is using a similar technology to AsicBoost?
157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John Nash created bitcoin on: April 14, 2017, 01:56:47 PM



How can they find out I own bitcoin? I have never bought it. Anyway, what's the point then? Might as well dump it all before the so called bitcoin confiscation begins.



It's harder to trap the small guy that only owns a couple 5-21 BTC, it's not public, uses Tor etc.

If by 2030 I have several million dollars that I cannot enjoy because I can't even cash them out because the fee is higher than the million dollars I have im going to be pissed.


If you own bitcoin, and you don't want anyone to access it, it would be very hard for anyone to take it away, especially if it's in cold storage.

What Bitcoin confiscation exactly are you talking about?

What makes you guys think that there is going to be a worldwide dragnet on bitcoin? This sounds absolutely ridiculous.

Why would the transactions fees ever come anywhere remotely close to the value of bitcoin, if Bitcoin continues to grow as an asset?? That's just plain retarded.

I heard complaints about transaction fees. I have moved BTC from one place to another, and the transactions fees are not bad, and it's still by far the cheapest way to send money around the world today. I was charged $0.55 for transferring $200.00, and the transaction occurred in 10-15 minutes, which is normal nowadays. You guys really aren't that cheap are you???



158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 60,000 Unconfirmed transaction and counting on: April 14, 2017, 08:04:52 AM
by now I think everyone knows perfectly well that this is a clear spam attack against bitcoin network and there is no hiding the facts.
the question about who is responsible has been around for a long time and I am afraid we can only come up with speculations and I nave not yet seen any valid evidence on who is/are doing this and why are they doing it.

we know it started with the block size debate, so it can be related to that.
we also know that the fees are rising a lot because of this and fees go to the miners. in other words they are making profit from this spam attack and a big amount of profit not just a simple couple of percentages rise. the total fee they have been earning has gone up a lot.

p.s. here is the link to the hash rate but it is not showing anything about this: https://blockchain.info/pools
p.p.s. another problem is that you can't really call this a spam! these are transactions that bitcoin protocol allows making. and no rule is being broken while making them.


This has the hallmarks of Jihan Wu written all over it.
159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: LTC Segwit is over 70% on: April 14, 2017, 07:57:19 AM


Will that break up?

It's certainly looking very bullish so I'd say yes. A lot of eyes are currently on LTC and there's a palpable sense of upward inertia.

Historically, when Litecoin rises a lot it tends to do so with a very relaxed attitude which can sometimes throw people off guard.

160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John Nash created bitcoin on: April 14, 2017, 03:57:31 AM
john nash was a maths guy not a code guy... keep trying though
you obviously didn't read the article where i cited the programming he was doing in regard to searching for the next prime number.  Or the part where cederic villiani explained how nash was known for solving problems far outside his own expertise, by arranging different experts in different fields to solve certain problems he formulated for them to solve, which came together to solve a problem of an unbelievable order.  

You wholly just judged something in which you have no idea what you are talking about didn't you?


Yes he did. He's a friggin idiot and is a hired gun of Jihan Wu, along with Alex, and some others....
