I remain unconvinced that segwit payment channels are necessary for an incremental improvement. You're welcome to believe in the God of Gaps, but code is written by people and unless you lock them in a hotel room and pay both the cleaning and writing bills (not to mention plumbing, electricity, faraday cage maintenance, etc), people write code slowly and generally pick the lowest-hanging fruit off the least-forbidding tree.

Why not just mine to a multisig of the smallest N miners, and leave them to coordinate between them how the payouts are distributed? This can start out as manual config mediated by a trusted Mth party, and evolve into all your payment channel voodoo wowee.

As the old saying goes:

"It's never to late to learn to play the pianooperate JoinMarket"

tl;dr: Bitmixer might have been the largest centralized mixer, but JM is the largest decentralized mixer, and all you hot wallet operators should have been investing your spare coin in it, yesterday.

It's not possible to "invest" in DarkWallet.

JoinMarket lets you invest your held coins in a wallet which performs coinjoins with those who are willing to compensate you for the risk of using a hot wallet.

ELI5: You read the fine wiki and follow the instructions step by step. You may find the TailsJoin Installation Guide clearer for the first steps, although it doesn't cover the yield generator.

As far as earnings go, the current situation suggests that you'll earn roughly the same amount as you'll spend on transaction fees. If you provide liquidity perpetually without ever initiating transactions yourself, you'll be lucky to net a single percent gain after a year.

Disclaimer: this back-of-the-envelope calculation was performed on a virtual envelope using invisible ink. I suggest you run a yield generator for a couple weeks and extrapolate from your own experience.

Please aim your rhetoric at ideas rather than personalities.

Why do you think we should encourage people to use the hidden service?

It's always been the case that yield generators using Tor should connect to CGAN directly, rather than using the hidden service. Tor hidden services provide privacy for the server, which is irrelevant in our case: yield generators are still IRC clients, connecting to a server with known identity. Using the hidden service also incurs higher latency, as it requires a larger number of Tor circuits.

There's a PR open which will ignore multiple liquidity offers from the same hostmask. Roughly speaking, the probability weighing for the hidden service will be shared between all liquidity connecting to it. Please do the profitable thing and move your liquidity to direct connections.

tl;dr: Yield generators can use Tor, but should not use the hidden service.

To use git terminology, the plumbing exists, but you've either got to get out a pipe wrench or wait for porcelain to arrive.

Judging by your previous snippet, you'll want to put wallet.json as the "seed". The name is a leftover from the testnet days when you could directly give a wallet seed on the command line, which doesn't work on mainnet anymore.

Bear in mind that the advertised rates are per transaction. If you average one transaction per day at 0.03%, that's a monthly return closer to 1%. It's not yet clear what frequency individual investors can expect, but we've started working on a tool for detecting likely Joinmarket activity in the blockchain, and guessing the earned fees.

Anybody else seeing such corruption?

Also, my BTCe key gets forgotten after a short while.

During the high volume in the past few minutes, all the exchange indicators have been red for me, despite the changes being in both directions.

Please add the ability to replace API keys.

For comparison, BitcoinWisdom offers both "CandleStick" and "CandleStickHLC". The former counts the first trade in the period as the open, and the latter uses the previous period's close.

Garbage in, garbage out!

Any update on this?

Although your github account got deleted, there's a fork which is still accessible:

True, but why limit your horizons?

Great site, starting to replace BitcoinWisdom for me for when I want to watch my bot's real-time interaction with the market.

Any chance on adding the TH1BTC derivative on Bitfinex? This should be as simple as adding another string to a symbols array, it's modular in their API.
