Re: [ANN] INTENSE COIN - Blockchain backed decentralized VPN - Hybrid PoW
First Bobby do you know that listing on exchanges cost money and it ain't damn cheap? Stocks may be the only exchange but it works so far. Everything in life takes time, so does listing on new exchanges. Devs submitted to kucoin we can only wait nothing more. Let devs do their work, we have to build good community around the coin. They know you guys want new exchange and we don't have to simply spam them.
Re: is there a blockchain explorer with graphical representation of coin movements?
I wasn't aware that blockchain.info have support for this. Thank you!
is there a blockchain explorer with graphical representation of coin movements?
Okay so guys I've been reading some studies that were done on bitcoin transactions and represented them like graphs so by simply doing this you can see any relation between some addresses in a simple graphic way. Which brings me to conclusion that there might be some online Explorer who already implemented this, if so I would like to know about it.
Hello guys,
What decentralized exchanges do you know exist? So far I know about idex.market, etherdelta , bisq.network? , altcoin.io ( not sure if this one is functional even)
Do you know any other? Will be good to know more about these as I don't trust centralized exchanges. Thanks in advance!

@amishmanish thanks for clearing some things, I have more questions 
Okay I get it I have to open a payment chanel to transact. But what if I don't open a chanell? How are others going to send me via segwit? Will others need to open a chanell with them puting their money and me putting 0btc?
One thing, by using these addresses that begins with "3" am I automatically using SegWit? And If I am automatically using SegWit how is channel even being opened when I can simply generate paper wallets with these "3" and receive lots of coins without even going online and contacting any node to open a channel for me or to open one myself. Or I should look at them as ordinary btc addresses that start with "1"?

I think you are getting confusied between SegWit and LN. SegWit was a soft fork that was needed for further improvements. Lightning Network being one of them.
You open a channel once with another node and as the network becomes connected enough you can use the funds in the channel to make microtransactions and other people can find you on that network.
There is a cool visualization of the LN on mainnet. (its down right now for some reason). Keep in mind that its in testing mode now and only the experts are involved in it. Though, its a golden opportunity to learn for anybody with enough time, computer hardware and a desire to get their hands dirty.
For your answers to the new address forma, you can check this reply from Carlton Banks.
Thank you fro taking your time to explain things! This graph doesn't look like network being centralized.
Anyway so I can't send more money from which I have currently in a channel via LN? Is it limited to that amount that I have put aside in a multisig?
I guess I will have to try to read a bit more what is SegWit and what is Lighting Network if they are separated, thought they are similar things like SegWit is just some sort of tweak of Lighting.
That is possible but you still have to pay the tx fee. So what you are trying to achieve is pointless IMO.
Well maybe not pointless if I know for instance that I would not use my coins for longer period of time so I put lower fee now when mempool is relatively low, in future if it raises I'd had bigger chance to transfer my coins faster? Or I am missing something?
Thank you for your answer!
Okay so is it possible that I "merge" my inputs and create one input out of them by simply broadcasting the transaction with my inputs which are related to one address and try to use that same address as recipient and thus creating only one input from few of inputs on one address or for this I will have to use a second address?

Hi Forum
Hoping you can educate me a bit here. I wasn't heavily into crypto at the time this all took place.
When the whole scaling debates began basically two solutions were proposed, which as we know lead to the creation of BCH.
Why did we not move BTC to 2MB blocks while work on the layer 2 scaling was being finalized? As I understand LN right now when a channel is closed the transactions in it get processed by the main chain, thus a bit of extra blocksize would help scale LN even more.
To me, I personally like the idea of layer 2 scaling more because of all the features it would add to BTC and new things it would make possible. I see some merit in both solutions though.
Is there a good reason apart from politics that we couldn't have just done both? It would have carried us for now until new scaling solutions are done and fully tested.
The BTC vs BCH has really split the community, yea there's some funny memes around this and all, but its not good that we are all fighting each other and getting super opinionated around this. I hope we don't see more separation in the community in the future.
P.S. lets not turn this into a BTC vs BCH argument here, make love not war

Sorry for that post above.
As you know the bitcoin code has been constantly updated with several improvements over the years as an open source project. There was a general agreement that scaling had to be achieved somehow. One side wanted a simple solution by increasing the block size. The other side was in opposition because the block size increase has a direct effect on the requirements to run a full-node. A full-node can validate the block-chain and accept or reject transactions depending on their validity. THIS "VALIDITY" is determined by the set of rules that transactions are following.
When you do a fork (Soft or Hard), you are making changes to these rules. The difference is subtle but very important.
In a soft-fork, Its not mandatory for EVERYONE to upgrade immediately. Because blocks produced under new rules will still be valid on old systems.
In a Hard-fork, It is mandatory for all systems to upgrade, otherwise the blocks produced under new rules will be invalid on old systems. This essentially creates two chains and opens up several possibilities discussed here.
That I think is reason enough for the core developers to not want a block size and a hard fork.
You are right, in a perfect world, everybody would have agreed that a hard-fork is risky and that solutions like SegWit and LN should be implemented first. The block size increase could wait until the ecosystem was mature enough to form consensus. (On what is the safe limit for block size to keep the network decentralised enough and whether everyone is ready for a hard fork). When such a consensus would be available, a size increase could've been incorporated.
What has happened now instead is that a few powerful individuals (2 i think) have colluded to co-opt the bitcoin and scream to the whole world that they are the original. What Roger Ver is as a person is quite clear from his "Ï am a self made millionaire", "Whats your gross annual revenue" outbursts.. He is a egoist with a lot of money and one talented but disgruntled developer to support him.
He just decided to benefit from the disgruntlement amongst the bitcoin developers and launch his own coin. That was really sad.
I get it that Rodger is just a bussiness man and he likes to make money and that is what he is trying to do the best here.
If SegWit and LN in general is more to "like a bank system" why do we have it even? These new addresses that starts with "3" and "bc1" what about them?? Are they not "on chain" and everything with them is done off chain?? Raising blocksize or making blocks faster+decreasing reward should be okay solution I guess. Look at ethereum it holds much harder load in terms of speed of blockchain growth and faster blcoks etc. and I don't particulary see that theres not any problem, of course ether has some problems regarding transactions here and there.
Could you explain why is LN like urgently needed? To my understanding people saw that scaling debate was going nowhere , you had litecoin activating SegWit??? which may pushed people towards LN even more, and said enough and they opted for SegWit while other rich dudes went for BCH. But why is LN that much advanced.
Hi everyone im a crypto fan. Lately i was wondering what is the best coin to hold for the crypto debit card
in this market the competiion is strong
-Monaco
-Tenxpay
-Centra
-Tokencard
-Cryptopay
-Uquid
Wich one in this list should be number 1 and why
thank you and have a nice day

I haven't tried those except https://cryptopay.me , it was okay since they offer virtual cards and haven't really had any problem, even I haven't talk to support everything was smooth. I could say and advise you to go with them, but look at other options maybe they are convenient for you and maybe they have less fees/costs related to them.
I have been holding both Monaco and TenX so far. I have researched Centra but it does not appeal to me. So far I am good with just Monaco and TenX, but I think the whole crypto market is big enough for six crypto cards. Only time will tell if all will survive. Crypto debit cards are something that will not exist for a very long period, because why use a card if you can have a crypto wallet on your phone. It will help a lot of countries transition from paper money to crypto.
Well yeep crypto is money and I think more companies will start to accept it now when it is gaining more exposure day by day. It will and should cut off some costs.
Can we really earn bitcoin here for free? I'm just wondering.
Nothing in life comes as free, even faucets are not free. You trade time and effort to earn money whatever you are doing and because of your actions you get something in return. Nothing is free you have to work for everything. If you spam you will be red tagged.
You can earn new ICOs or existing tokens and coins here on forum by offering a service and this ain't free.
I know there's transaction fees etc, but I read about 'Change' as well, is this something different? See below for what it was defined as:
Change
Lets say you are spending $1.90 in your local super market, and you give the cashier $2.00. You will get back .10 cents in change. The same logic applies to bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin transactions are made up of inputs and outputs. When you send bitcoins, you can only send them in a whole output. The change is then sent back to the sender.
Thanks

Change is refereed to inputs and outputs of a single transaction. So the more inputs and outputs you have the bigger the transaction is in size which could result in a higher fee. But for this particular case you don't have to worry much about it.
Hi guys,
I'm new to the BTC scene and have just started buying some of the coins available on coinbase in the UK.. I have left BTC and ETH on the wallets on Coinbase for now but I've transferred some LTC to my Electrum wallet, I used the receive function to generate a key and then put that in Coinbase to send to it. I believe I didn't have my wallet 'open' or online at the time so I'm not sure if this means I did not 'receive' it or it will show up later, I've tried restarting the wallet but no luck. Have I made a newbie mistake and lost the transaction? Thanks in advance.

You can be off line and will be able to receive your coins. Every address is public and every single one of them exist in the network.
Have you used litecoin electrum?
As everything is public you can try to enter your litecoin address on this website: https://chain.so/ and tell us what happens at end. This chain.so is a simple blockchain explorer that runs a node and by doing that it has access to all records of transaction that happen on the blockchain. If it shows you have your coin then you are good as it is most likely problem with litecoin electrum. But if it doesn't show any coins try to go to coinbase and see in case you miss typed the address.
Cheers, tell us what happened at end so I and others can tell you what could be done if it can be done.
"got numbers of tokens from it" : What is the average of tokens you can get from an airdrop campaign ?
Do they always and only revert ETH ?
Is it mandatory to get MEW to collect these tokens or blockchain.info is also usable ?

Usually you get equivalent of your stakes. So basically every person who enters an airdrop gets his own stakes. People who organize an airdrop simply put some amount of tokens and that amount is fixed. At the end those people just sum all these stakes and devide the tokens/coins. WHich means less people to enter, more you will get.
There are many ICOs that have their own airdrops, but this doesn't have to be the case. Some ICOs have their tokens on other platforms such as waves and neo, although many are using ethereum for this. Above when some another crypto currency lunches or they want to gain exposure they organize an airdrop - not all of them are token related.
MEW is easierst solution but it is not the most secure one. Blockchain.info support ethereum but doesn't support ethereum smart contracts, at least till now, which emans you can receive your tokens on that address but will be unable to spend them and you won't see it in your blockchain.info wallet but you will have to use some tools such as http://etherscan.io/. Although you can spend the coins later on by extracting private key from blockchain.info wallet and importing them into another wallet/software such as MEW or any other that can do the job for you.
The price will stable in small range so its time to trade altcoin and hold bitcoin.I do not think it will be crucial year for bit coin, i just think its price will be more constant.I think this year will be a ground breaking year for bitcoin as well as other cryptocurrencies.
It's not near to be stable even at the beginning and it will be wild ride till we reach 2019 trust me. Price can't be stable when theres to much speculation going on, we need several years to pass and hope that price will be stable at end - it's not an easy game and an easy market this is on global scale and you don't even have many people who entered the crypto arena.
Bitcoin exceeded $ 10,000 in 2017. What's going to happen to Bitcoin in the coming year?
You can look at this in two ways:
- 2018 won't be crucial year of bitcoin if we are talking overall and taking into consideration time in future that is yet to come
- 2018 could potentially be crucial if we look only time till now
If 2018 don't bring good to bitcoin, it will surley bring good to altcoins as there are many people entering the scenes and we are seeing exchanges having tons and tons of new accounts that are being open.
IMHO right now I think its better to still hold and make an invesment on ethereum rather than ethereum classic. Incoming fork, stable price, support from the community, lot of great token, smart contract thats all my reason I pickup ethereum for now.
For your information, ETC is the original ETH, Smart contracts and essentially everything are the same, ETC didn't reverse transactions after the theft, ETH foundation is a rogue foundation, Now some one is accumulating ETC and when they have enough they will start pumping. Whatever ETH can do ETC can do.I think that when the price of ETH goes up, the price of ETC will also go up, so holding ETC is also a good choice. I just bought ETC.
You are wrong, ETC could only go up if people start using it for their smart contracts. When that happens $500 would be the 2018 ATH.You are wrong. ETC doesn't have that huge support like ETH so by default it can't do all of those things. It can run smart contracts that's true, but in todays world standard for smart contracts is being made and it is ETH, not many people will opt and go with ETC. Although it is an original coin but it doesn't have huge support as ETH has. It is not rouge foundation, they can do whatever hell they want if they gain support from the community, they did what most of the people felt right at a time, you can't judge what they did they are still upfront of ETC annd will be, call them rouge but look at what are they doing now.
Every single coin can be pumped from now on when we have many new investors chasing the crypto dream. I so ETC could raise as well, but for that they need to have good marketing and to make contracts, to make some people use them as a platform.
Hello everyone ! i am a total newbie to this site/group and here's my thought about cryptocurrency.. if you notice something is wrong or not suitable for my topic please let me know. it will be much appreciated. criticizing my work will help me grow faster
not so long ago I've heard a news about this thing called Bitcoin(most known cryptocurrency) that is getting viral in the online industry and tried to learn a few things about this. i discovered that Bitcoin is considered as an online money/currency where you can trade/convert real money. And as i continue reading stuff i was fascinated and curious to discover or learn on how can i ride the waves going on in this industry to the fact that this thing called Bitcoin is exceptionally volatile the fact that virtual currency trading happens on many different cryptocurrency exchanges rather than a central exchange.
Question: for you guys. what is the most convenient way to earn Bitcoin without investing money for a guy like me who also have a full time job ?
by far these are the options i've seen online and in this site. tho the fact that i've already read how these things work i still need some guidance or suggestions to those who already started working on it while having a fulltime job.

Don't fool yourself with faucets they are waste of time, specially now, not sure but maybe surveys and downloading apps is also low paid.
Signature campaigns seems okay but we need junior memeber at least for that (which is posting at least 1 post per 30days and our rank should be junior as I was told) posting by 1 day should get you 1activity sometimes you need to wait for it to be added to your profile it may not be added instant. After this you can join signature campaigns wether it be joinging some ICO bounty where you get ICO tokens or you can try to find available ones in service section and get btc/eth ... as a reward. When you are higher rank you get paid more, for instance legendary members are paid like 70$+ on weekly basis but for you to get there need to be like online everyday for 2years or something which is long way to go. This is by far easiest thing to do that won't cost you much time at end.
Above all there are twitter campaigns etc...
You can offer a service here on forum or simply search like freelance for bitcoin you will end up with something. Things like writing, marketing are some fields where you should find jobs.
Start a blog and try to gain people to read and add affiliates there. MIght want to check out steemit platform since there you can even get paid if your article is well written. There people can upvote like on reddit and you earn money out of it.
You can as well find some companies that will give you salary in bitcoin.
To many shady exchanges, good I haven't used them at all before. When I wanted to I found their website to be preforming slow on my computer which is why I haven't opted for them. 100$ is not some small amount of money, wish you luck in getting it back
I tink that bounty campaigns is how many people do and what they do here around the forum. My view is that you can earn a lot if there are not many participants and if company who host ICO really does good job so after the few months of ICO if it's a good one you will end up earning a lot of money compared to the amount of work you put in. This all depends but is a good way to get into cryptocurrency and to indirectly join ICO without buying and investing in them.
