They have a huge update coming out soon. I don't know what you are talking about.

They will announce the official discontinuation of the Firstblood project, this is already known since two days ago.

Their Twitter just pumps out general eSports tweets that have nothing to do with the coin itself to seem "active" and that things are happening, which they are obviously not. Perhaps the founders and devs are selling all the way down while keeping appearences up.

Good luck everyone...

As did I.

I'm very impressed by the community and ambition of 1337.

Added 2.12 BTC > 1337 to my portfolio and looking to add to it once we get robust updates from the devs.

Good night all!

Guys, I've held BLOCK since it was around 2 USD so naturally I am happy with the price trend.

However, I don't understand what has happened that fundamentally warrants a parabolic rise to 8.5 USD. "Good tech", yes, probably! But given that there are multiple projects and coins that are essentially all doing what Block is doing, I am a bit nervous this might just be a Fear-of-missing-out scenario.

Pundits chasing yield wherever you can find it.

What are your thoughts?

Can.eth overtake .com in the future?

Could somebody explain to me in an ELI5 manner, the relationship the new Ethereum name system and the traditional DNS system is going to have?

To my understanding, Ethereum's name system will enable the owner of a name to use it as a payment address as well as contain a website, smart contract, software, or identity. Can this essentially become a username/profile system to be used in the wider Ethereum space?

Is there a service where you can have encrypted text on the blockchain, which is accessed with a private key or something like this?

Re: Is the .dat file + password everything you need to save?
by
BlackstarCollective
on 08/05/2017, 21:16:54 UTC
If your wallet.dat file was created with a version of Bitcoin Core prior to Bitcoin Core 0.13.0, the wallet.dat will only be good for the 100 addresses that you use after the backup is made. That includes change addresses, so it typically means 100 transactions before you have to backup again.

With wallets created with Bitcoin Core 0.13.0 and later, the wallet.dat will have the necessary information to derive all of your future addresses since it is a deterministic wallet. However this is not enough as you won't know how many addresses it should generate and look transactions for when you restore. You still should make periodic backups.

Thank you for the descriptive reply.

So if I create a backup for a wallet file that will only store a 1-5 "deposits" I'm gonna be fine without doing new backups or anything else?

PS: and this might not be for this thread but related: Do all other ALT-wallets work the same like this when it comes to backups?

I was wondering whether a secure storage of a .DAT file along with the password it was encrypted with is enough to save in order to recover the control of a wallet/address at any given time in the future?

If you want to build such a big, worldwide financial network, you need to accept the fact of taking different kinds of costs.
The same thing is about decentralized network, it has to operate somehow. If nobody will earn anything on supporting it, then what is the point of doing such a thing?

Without mining rewards, bitcoin and blockchain are pretty much totally different thing. We need to have a bounty for people willing to confirm our transactions, or they will simply stop doing that activity.

I understand *why* the network needs fees.

What I am worried about is, how will someone like my mum use a decentralized Facebook that charges you when she can use a free one? I think people have gotten very used to not paying for anything on the internet, that's gonna be a hurdle to get over right?

Hi all,

I was wondering whether or not a decentralized environment such as Ethereum, and all projects built on top, will be very expensive to use? I see the point of decentralization, but since anything you do on the network costs fees, won't this be a huge barrier compared to what the mainstream is used to today? (Ie everything should be free or close to)

For instance, if I want to use StorJ or Golem or anything like that, won't I need to pay fees in both their native currencies as well as in Ether?

So if we were to have a decentralized social network, would all users have to "pay" to use it ?

I am using the Ethereum wallet from the main website. It worked before but only did like 2% syncing. Now it gives me error it isn't connecting to nodes. I have 1 ETH on this address and I need to get it out somehow... I am completely lost.

Re: Best way to hold many cryptocurrencies
by
BlackstarCollective
on 21/04/2017, 11:30:56 UTC
What I meant was if there's an easier way to do it.... For instance I own some Blocknet (BLOCK) tokens which I want to add from the exchange to my own wallet. But the synchronization is taking me DAYS to do, do I need to do this? I dont understand it.

Best way to hold many cryptocurrencies

I was wondering what your suggestion to holding multiple cryptos is?

Obviously I don't want to hold even medium amounts of the stuff on exchanges, but it's incredibly tedious to have to download seperate wallets for my computer, synchronize everything and.... well, yeah.

What's your strategy on this?

Noobish question, but what is the difference between SuperNet and Komodo?

Are they linked to eachother somehow, do I need to own both if I want to invest myself in the project?
