I'm holding USDC (ARB1) on Exodus. I chose the ARB1 network for sending USDC thinking it would be easy and cheap to swap plus I wouldn't need to deal with ETH at all. I didn't realize I would need to deal with ETH again. I want to swap it for HBAR or any other coin to dump this USDC, but Exodus says I first need 0.0001 "ETHARBO" for gas.

Anyway, I already have ETH in my Trust Wallet so first do I swap some ETH (Ethereum network) for some ETH (Arbitrum network) then send that ETH (Arbitrum network) from Trust Wallet to ETH on the ARB1 network in the Exodus wallet? Would that be correct?

Problem is I only need 0.000105 ETH for that tx, but the network fee is $127 (0.3476 ETH).

How can this be?

p.s. I also noticed that on some exchanges they don't even list what network the USDC/USDT is on. It only says USDC or USDT. In those cases, how do I know what network I should use to transact?

Thanks in advance

Looks like the method involves selecting a random number within a specified range defined by the number of bits of entropy. E.g. each output (or Bitcoin address) corresponds to a private key that was generated by selecting a random number within the range of (2^n-1) to (2^n)-1 , where n is the number of bits of entropy designated for that particular key. So that range ensures that the selected number has exactly n bits when represented in binary form matching the pattern of increasing entropy with each subsequent address.

Each subsequent address uses a private key with one additional bit of entropy than the previous one. The selection of the specific private key within that range is random. To generate or guess the next unclaimed output's private key (e.g., for the address with a 51-bit key), one would theoretically need to try all possible values within the range from (2^50) to (2^51)-1. By using a sufficiently high number of entropy bits, a quantum machine might be needed to brute-force through all possible keys in this range.

From what I've read they are both Smart NFT eco-systems.

Some articles said that Phantasma had the first Smart NFT, but I'm not sure.

Both are young/small-cap. Altura has twice as many Twitter followers. Both seem just as active on Reddit. Not that it really matters.

Both seem to be progressing on their roadmaps. Both white-papers look decent.

Both do not have any outstanding founders/members.

Phantasma has a decent GiHub, but Altura's GitHub is barely active which is disconcerting.
https://github.com/Phantasma-io
https://github.com/Plutus-Gaming-NFTs-Reimagined

Phantasma's Co-founder Miguel Ferreira left Phantasma's team due to conflict of interest some time ago.

The isthisascam ranking website lists Altura as below average and Phantasma as above average lol. Not sure if that says anything, but again, Altura has no GitHub.

It seems a lot of the usual pump & dump Youtubers really push these two as well.

Can someone tell me anything more about these two i.e. major partnerships etc?

Thanks

I got a laugh at how Zuck is avoiding using "cryptocurrency" and purposefully using "stable coin" every chance he gets.  Zucker the fucker is a hypocrite.

I digress... what blockchain do you think they're using?  Or are they building their own 100%? I highly doubt it. 

This is a myth. You certainly can start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction (and/or etc).

Most of the community is mining and creating private networks on Windows/Linux but I'm using macOS for my tutorial and learning so I would like conformation that I am doing it correctly. So fat it seems I have success but any tips would be welcome.

I am not mining. I have simply created a private network so I can interact with Mist and build Dapps/contacts.

genesis.json



Initialization:
geth --datadir=./chaindata/ init ./genesis.json
geth --datadir=./chaindata/

Connecting Mist to private network / start the local test network
geth --dev

Get Mist to connect
open -a /Applications/Mist.app --args --rpc /var/folders/y1/jynwfrwj411bxck8whqgcbr00000gq/T/geth.ipc


Correct?

As an experiment to save space for learning purposes I put the Geth binary on an external drive thinking that the node would automatically download to that same exerted disk. I ran that binary (not the Homebrew installed binary) via Bash but the Ethereum node still got installed in the default /Users/Satoshi/Library/Ethereum/

Do I have to create a specific bash? There are already paths in my bash file.

Or should I just download the entire Ethereum node currently 80GB, then move that Ethereum folder over to the external drive? If this is possible;
1.how do I tell Mist/ETHWallet to connect to that node on the external drive?
2. Every time I run Geth from Bash how do I get Bash i.e. Terminal app to recognize by default the Geth binary that is not in the usual default home directory but the Geth binary that is on my external disk?

From what I've read I might be able to create a symlink? Copy the original Ethereum folder to my external hd then create a symlink like so?

ln -s /external-disk-path /Users/Satoshi/Library/Ethereum

I have set up a private ETH network for learning purposes. Everything good so far.

The usual initialization
geth --datadir=./chaindata/ init ./genesis.json
geth --datadir=./chaindata/

On Windows you install Geth and run geth --datadir=./chaindata/ then open Mist and click Launch.

On macOS we run a dev console then open Mist via bash like this.
geth --dev
open -a /Applications/Mist.app --args --rpc /var/folders/y1/jynwfrwj411bxck8whqgcbr00000gq/T/geth.ipc


Everything opens fine and I'm ready to go. But Mist is displaying a very long ether value for the etherbase instead of a nice simple coin value. Is this normal?

I found someone's screen shot on Windows and it shows the simple coin value. Is that because it's an older client or because it's Windows?

The ERC-20 Token Transfer might have Failed (ErrCode: unable to locate corresponding Transfer event log), check with sender.


Hi guys... I think I have a special case here because no solutions have worked for me.

I am trying to send 120K OCN from MEW to the gate.io exchange.

I sent 50K successfully.  But then when I tried to send the 70K balance it fails every time.

I have tried 40 gwei, 200000 gas limit, smaller amounts, different nodes etc. But still failing. I still have 0.173051236 ETH in MEW.

https://etherscan.io/tx/0x834b37cd7b13941c2551ae37b7810400ea4155fd89a4db1ca77528fdb73e9f9b

What could possibly be the reason that 50K would go through but not the remaining balance? If there was a frozen limit even 50K wouldn't work right?

I have sent a Twitter DM and email to Odyssey but still no reply. These companies are like ghosts after their token sales close.


----

EDIT: Update. Even stranger. So this time I tried sending OCN on MEW via MetaMask. MM presented more explicit error messages. Something wrong with the contract?

When MM opens up from the MEW UI at first I got these messages. Of course I adjusted the gas limits

But then I still got this error message. And of course the tx failed. So it is failing with MEW and MetaMask.

EDIT: found out 50% are locked until April. Hope this helps someone else.

I'm holding over 10 different coins and all of them have performed well. They have good proposition value, developers, marketing, some notable backers etc. I had more but have slowly gotten rid of shit coins. Even shit coins that made me a lot of money. I figured I might as well get out of the shit coins while I'm ahead.

So now I'm holding only coins that have a substantial value proposition and hard working team. But even though I've gotten great gains I'm thinking that there will most likely never be that home run unless a considerable amount i.e. $5k/10k is put into say 5 different coins = $25k. Instead of $1k here and $3k there etc.

Should I wait to see which guys seem to be getting closer to delivering on their plans and see which coins can survive some BTC gains or should I decide now which ones to cut loose?

It's hard to do because you're always thinking what if this one or that one ends up on top. I mean if you had 1000 BTC back in 2013 you'd be laughing now but the game has changed.

My Tradingview charts say QTUM $48 but coinmarketcap and everywhere else it's $61. Am I missing something? Same with Monero $365 on Tradingview charts vs $394 on coinmarketcap and other sites. LTC seems to be ok on the charts though.

Is it simply because of different exchanges? I know Korean exchanges are thousands higher than other exchanges for BTC for example but I'm just comparing TradingView and average exchanges.

Coinmarketcap is getting an average I guess but how does that affect your trading when the charts you use are not the same charts as the exchange?

I mean 99.99999% of the exchanges have crappy charts.

Well guys, good news for me at least. I was able to withdraw my ETH. It wasn't working for a couple of hours. I guess I was lucky.

"Withdraw request has been successfully submitted!" Maybe it was because I sent them an email and complained. Who knows.

I hope you guys can withdraw as well.

I hope 2018 is a stabilizing year for us and we can get rid of all shitcoins and shitexchanges.

Peace

UnF'ing believable. I get the feeling that some new alt coins are created so that scamming exchanges can advertise that they have those alt coins and then keep everyone's funds. I think after this I will never touch an "indie" exchange even if it means I miss out on early profits. I'll wait until the alt coin is on a proven exchange.

No point in worrying about missing out on being early on the action in a coin if you can't get your money out in the first place.

Luckily I spread myself around.

 

I've read Reddit threads where tons of people are complaining about the same thing. A big red "Currency operations not available" message when trying to withdraw from the exchange. I have even tried exchange my coins to ETH and still cannot withdraw.

After the EtherDelta hack and other reports of HitBTC problems I'm eager to get my assets off of HitBTC and onto a long-standing reputable exchange.

Unfortunately in order to sometimes own an altcoin early we need to temporarily trade on not so well-established exchanges.

Anyone having success withdrawing today?

So 3 years later you think still that about LTC?  lol You missed out.

I LOL'd. I've done this at a few different establishments. Just call me Larry David.

So I've looked and read everywhere on their platform.

e.g.
https://support.bitfinex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003291305-How-do-I-transfer-funds-between-my-wallets-

But it only lets me transfer between exchange, funding and margin accounts not coins.

I simply want to transfer BTC into another wallet like LTC.

EDIT: If this is not possible how could I transfer my BTC to IOTA using another service? Shapeshift doesn't have IOTA.

Could I withdraw my BTC into CAD/USD then buy IOTA?

Coinsquare is second largest exchange in Canada. Has good reviews. Not sure what's going on.

I emailed their support and sent them SNS messages too. Still no reply.


That withdraw section is where you can normally send to a third party wallet.
