Guys, would need your help.
I don't know how, but I sent some BCH to my BTC cyptobridge adress..
I'm using windows version.

Is there a way to get back my BTC private key to upload it in a BCH client so I can get back my BCH ?

They need to make that very clear on the ann (which is not). The end user does NOT holds the private keys of each coin, tne end user will never have access to the individual coin's private keys of what he holds on the CryptoBridge exchange. It may still be a DEX and have very positive aspects, but not in that sense. If something goes wrong, your funds may be lost forever.
They should be more clear/transparent about that aspect.

So, my question is:
How can I see the private key of a single coin address where I have funds in CryptoBridge?
I think i read from somewhere that u hold the private keys only on the desktop version? Im not sure, havent download myself yet.


Id be interested to read more about the token dividends if somebody has more stats and insight on that?

I do have the desktop version, not found there neither ...

Anyone?

Your password is your private key that is assigned to your public key on the Bitshares blockchain. The individual addresses assigned to your account are part of the Bitshares gateway that you are using. By having your password, you also have the private key to all of the addresses assigned to you by the gateway.

That is not the case. I understand that (in theory) the individual coins private keys are encoded (or created from) with my password, but I, as end user, have no way to decode them.
If something goes wrong with CryptoBridge for whatever reason, my coins are lost because I don't have the private keys, nor a way to re create them.

Can anyone show me how to re create an individual coin private key from my CryptoBridge keys/password?

If you had that control of the individual private keys for each coin, exchange wouldn't work, you could dump some particular coin and then just transfer the coins from the address to some other address under your control.

Tha's a satisfactory answer. Thank you very much for that.

So, in the hypothetical case of "something goes wrong with the exchange", there is no difference from a centralized exchange, coins are gone/lost for the end user.
The advantages of CryptoBridge would be in no limits and no user identification (that's still a good thing), but not in the coins ownership because the user has no access to the individual private keys.
Is that right?

Hi,

I have a question, and I see that many people have already asked similar questions and the subject was never cleared out or explained.

In the ann, it literaly says "Each client holds the private keys to their coins.", but I haven't found a way to see the private keys of the individual coin addresses.

So, my question is:
How can I see the private key of a single coin address where I have funds in CryptoBridge?

Can anyone help me to clear that?

Thank you.

It had it's problems, but it's still around and it may do a strong comeback this year  Grin

what graham is trying to do with our emulation of pivX.
Not looking too favourable for bee-as-pivx (work-in-progress has been committed as beep). Going down the PIVX route without a strong technical team could be terminally disastrous.

Max Guevara did call it correctly when he observed:
Quote
Porting over a bunch of complicated features at once is a sure fire way to break lots of things. Trying to implement two big projects like Masternodes and PoS at once is not very prudent. A phased approach where each feature is added and thoroughly reviewed and tested is the way to go. PivX is on a different code base from Quark, this complicates matters. PivX also has an old modified PoS implementation that's different from Peercoin.

In a different context (Slimcoin, a PPclone), I was recently informed: “Blocknet (a Pivx/Dash/PPcoin clone) was hacked in early Oct by someone who discovered a way to exploit the staking mechanism for personal gain. Apparently PIVX had discovered and quietly repaired its code some time before.” and directed to a reddit post:
Quote
“On 27 Sept, we became aware of a critical staking protocol bug inherited from the PPC/Dash/PivX codebase. Furthermore, we noticed a malicious actor appeared to have exploited this bug the very day before. (which, however improbably, was that the code lacked a check on the number of coins in a stake reward).”
(The PPcoin code that implemented the check on stake reward value had apparently been lost during the extensive refactoring to PIVX.)

The other route that I'm investigating involves removing the proprietary anon functionality from Navcoin, a Core 0.13 clone adapted to use PoW-then-PoS (work-in-progress has been committed as been). One important feature of Core 0.13 is the introduction of OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, gateway to the existing decentralised exchanges.

Cheers

Graham


Thank you very much Graham.

I see on this level of detailed communication between the development and the user/big-community side as a very healthy thing.
As for implementing complicated features, I guess we will all agree on choosing the safest path.

Thank you for the update!

Hi,

My bitcointalk account "yacare" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=106549) got hacked. In that regard I see 2 possibilities:
1- It was brute-forced (it had an easy password)
2- The forum itself was hacked (I know it was around 2015) (I never-ever changed the password).

Anyway, I don't care much about the account, this is just to let you know that "yacare" is no longer me, so you should not trust it.

Also, it may be a good idea for you all to change your passwords, or at least make sure you have a strong one (specially non-newbie accounts).

And if you know a way to claim/recover a hacked account, please let me know.

In the meantime, I'll use this new account.
Let's keep BEE going  Smiley
