Re: [ANN]Bitcore- BTX - SEGWIT - BLOOM - ONLINE - new virtual fork 1:0.5 of Bitcoin
by

on 14/11/2017, 11:49:39 UTC

In this post I list 22 steps on how to SAFELY receive your BTX from a Trezor. The steps for a Ledger would be mostly the same, except for step 6 (erase your Trezor). To erase your Ledger, simply enter a wrong PIN number 3 times.

Besides that, simply replace the word "Trezor" with "Ledger".

This is too careless IMO, asking people to compromise their Trezor seed and erase their Trezor.
Trezor is also used as a password manager and for U2F logins, not just for storing coins.

It is also not practical for people who have part of their seed or their entire seed words stored with lawyers or relatives or as part of their will, possibly with a lot of care to bury or otherwise hide it, maybe even in different physical locations throughout the world that might require travelling.
You don't just change a seed like that, especially people with significant holdings or who do hold all other kinds of coins in multiple accounts, have set up multisig accounts etc ...



Totally agree.

@devs: You guys thinking on other ways to claim Bitcores?

You can claim it with import privkey also... It's not complicated if you have used the console before

If you use Trezor or Ledger then you will know how they works. Yes there is a lot of tools and ways to extract private key and import in BTX wallet BUT i'm and for sure many other people whit Trezor and Ledger wallets  don't do it and do not claim BTX

I'm also Totally agree.

@devs: You guys thinking on other ways to claim Bitcores?   Trezor and Ledger wallet support for BTX will be great



I think the only way to fix this is a Ledger or other hardware wallet support for Bitcore. Currently it's not worth the risk and very annoying to delete your my trezor/ledger. Would also be a great PR stunt if hardware wallet is supported.

Sold a bunch in the previous hype. Now bought some more after reading v2 of the Whitepaper. There's no big marketing team on this coin. If that was the case I believe this coin would have been $50,000,000 marketcap already. Really keeping these coins for the long run. Good luck dev!

an i2p mixer is better, which is in the works. the main reason i say mixing doesn't work is because forensics can trace transactions. that's the point of what Sandia is doing right now, they're building a blockchain forensics tool, that will ultimately find origins of mixed coins, as well as locate users that werent on tor/i2p.

How is an i2p mixer better? What does it do and how does it work? Could you explain it to us?

Btw: Here a link to Sandia, beating Bitcoin bad guys: http://www.sandia.gov/news/publications/labnews/articles/2016/19-08/bitcoin.html.

Re: [ANN] [RNS] Renos - A community Based Cryptocurrency

Masternodes

Just to confirm that the rumours of masternodes are true HOWEVER there is a slight catch currently. We have the technology developed and working but have issues syncing it with the current chain due to outdated code on the current codebase (an error on my part) We have people looking to fix it but if there has been no progress in the next week then we will most likely have to initiate a swap. Its something I really wanted to avoid but necessary in the long term as not only will it implement masternodes but a cleaner update friendly codebase. The initial specifications we have for masternodes are:

100K RNS per masternode
70/30 split in POS rewards.

I have been keeping it quiet partly because i wanted to surprise everyone with a shiny new update but i realised that the community has a right to know what is going on with the coin and now thats the implentation is delayed its not fair to keep everyone in the dark as it looks like we've been doing nothing for the last 2 weeks (which we haven't)

No one seems to care here... but what will the masternodes actually do? Nothing is written about that. Do you care to share some code that is written?

Masternodes give you higher rewards. That means that you will earn more  than the normal POS rate and you help the network even more by being a masternode. Also more who hold masternodes, means less coins getting dumped, hence helping the value to rise also.

That would only increase centralization. I don't think it's a good idea to "just" create master nodes to let the coins sit in there, doing nothing. What's the use of such a masternode, except for people hoping the price will increase due to more amount of coins are locked in?

Masternode was made at the start to incentive coin holder to run a node to secure the network with increased reward (better than POS) versus letting coin sitting on exchange

I understand what it does, but creating a bigger reward for the rich isn't something that will be better for decentralization. On the contrary. It will only centralize more and more. It's like a normal guy getting 1% interest on his bank account, but Warren Buffet get's 10% interest on his account. How can that help in the world of crypto? I think it's a big no-no.

O M G
if warren buffett gets more money than the normal user, I would say, he was more dilligent than the normal user...

Steve

You don't get the point. You guys are happy that there will be masternodes, but all that the masternodes do is make this coin more centralized. Masternodes are (compromizes) to help the network with certain jobs. If the job is only getting a higher share of the Proof of stake (POS) it's of no use at all. In fact, it's even bad thing.

Could anyone try to explain, in a nutshell, what this coin has to offer? What is Blackhole What is different with other anon coinse like Dash/XMR/PIVX etc?

well one thing that seperates us from dash/pivx is that we havent centralized our network..

And how do you think this can be accomplished? I tried to read about this, but couldn't find anything.

Would love to get an answer on my question above. How will XVG be very decentralized and also do anonymous transactions? Just curious. Smiley

you read this thread from the start? its all in htere somewhere.  how everything works, what the ideas were, etc..

I've enjoyed reading it all Smiley  (and u can see how the votes went for different things.  even the name Smiley


You mean reading all 232 pages of this thread? No I didn't. Can someone help me out here? Smiley

 How will XVG be very decentralized and also do anonymous transactions?

Verge doesn't have a centralized function to be anonymous.  So No Mixers, or masternodes.  It uses the TOR and I2P networks to function.  I believe it was the first to do this.   

mixers dont really provide anonymity. anonymity is derived from total ip obfuscation from the network.

So VERGE connects through TOR and I2P and for the rest it works like most other coins. So you are not planning to add some sort of mixers? That would be very interesting combined with TOR I think.

Done.  Cool

Would you mind letting me know how I can access the account?
Also please send me your pascal account name?



I'm not sure how it really works. This was the first time I transferred an account. It was account 61549-76. Probably it needs some block confirmation and I expect you will see it pop up in your wallet.
