Litecoin Core RPC client version v0.16.0

----

So latest version of Litecoin Core Full Node is running, but it is not listening.

The problem is: My node is invisible from outside on TCP port 9333:

Basically TCP port 9333 isn't open... why ? (140.82.58.152 = host Bitcoin-1)

(+same problem exists with my other host 193.29.187.116 = host thc-1)

Another question: Should I install Electrum-LTC server, or Electrum-LTC users just connect to plain Litecoin Full Node at random ?

Okay, problem SOLVED !

It turns out that 'nmap' doesn't scan a port of 9333 by default. So I forced a full port scan.

Bugs in whitepaper:
Page 13 says 142% profit, but I think it's more like 42% profit.

There's no way to double for the winning side. Simply because losing side has less tokens.

Page 25: (FAQ)
"WHAT ARE THE TAXES" -- Taxes is a misnomer. Taxes are paid to the government. Ethearnal is a decentralized system, so let's call it a 'fee'.

Page 4:
Market evaluation is indeed at $1.5 trillion, BUT the components seem wrong:
Only $486 million for technology jobs? Come on. If there's only 1 (one!) million of U.S hi-tech workers in this space, they obviously earn more than $486 dollars a year, each.

My evaluation of total market:
3rd party Freelancer market overview:
https://advancedconsult.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/example-3.pdf
($1.5 T trillion dollars; 77 million people.)
This implies a salary of $20,000/year or ~$1600/month.
Okay for India. Much higher in the U.S
Those numbers make sense to me.

Hello,

A few hard anti-scam questions :
What is the connection between https://foodoutgroup.com/ and https://foodout.lt/ and https://foodout.lv/ ?

How can you prove that foodoutgroup.com is the main site?
Where are the links in the sub-sites that can prove the identity of the main site?

Is there such a thing as 'reverse SSS' ? (Shamir secret sharing)

I think about constructing a multisig address from multiple pubkeys (m-of-n) in a deterministic way.
That is, in 2-of-3 system, having 2 pubkeys (or 2 pubkey hashes) to construct a multisig hash.

Goals:
1. Invent as 'Pay to PubKey Hash' (P2PKH) address that works with MultiSig.  (rather than pay-2-script)
2. Sign message from MultiSig address. (currently undefined and doesn't work)

Original talk:
Q: Is it possible to sign a message from a multisig address?
A: No, and here is why:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1576803.0

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1usnNigTJw6cpone_xrcIMmzxF7U1MFrjb3y7aTsbDx0/edit?usp=sharing

What do you think of it?

What is this?
A copy cat of Nexus Social? Or we are a copy cat of them?

https://sphere.social/

Where from do they have the source code of the Nexus Social web app, Android App and iPhone App ?
(UPDATE: It seems that both their Android and iPhone app is totally different, written from scratch, and they don't have a web app yet... so no access from Windows PC)

Same reason why MP3 is the most popular audio codec for music. It's the first to actually provide good-enough compressed audio and gain market share. (hint: the best codec is Opus Audio, but few people know about it. And it will require special software to play-back.)

5 days ago I got two emails:

Can anyone help me restore my original account, "Technologov" ? Or contact forum administrator ?
I tried to reset my password, to no avail.

Thanks in advance.
