Is unstoppabledomains a scam?
by

on 28/11/2021, 11:16:28 UTC
Unstoppabledomains.com is selling NFT domains. Once you purchase a domain from them, you have to mint it. If you don’t mint it, they say that the domain name is still yours but you haven’t proven the ownership by minting it on the blockchain. What’s stopping someone else from just minting domain names that are purchased by someone else on unstoppabledomains? And what exactly are they doing that prevents someone else from selling NFT domains with their own extensions? And what prevents me from minting random domain names on Ethereum blockchain? After all unstoppabledomains is not a central authority.

I don't think a token is a solution... and if you really want to think AVa is the solution then you are wrong because AVA runs under ETH blockchain. So, if you see it that way then you mean ETH is the solution and not one of its multiple tokens.

If you want faster confirm coins, then you should look at dogecoin, which's a real coin and it has blocks each minute. And the transactions are really cheap too (1doge).

I think you are incorrect. AVA is not under ETH blockchain. ETH is only pegged on binance chain. They are completely different networks. AVA is only on BEP2. Binance got themselves in a mess. Binance smart chain is manipulating ETH holders to transfer ETH to BSC (Binance smart chain). It is a mess.

It is literal Chinese copy of Ethereum.

What is the reason that it is going up high since the start of this year? Seems to me that it is not stopping anytime soon. The graph is somewhat steep if you are viewing at the overall chart of AVA. Travel industry is just opening but still some countries are having their second wave of lockdown. Is the platform itself gaining traffic in the past months?

Don’t know why AVA keeps pumping. It has decoupled from BTC. Check their rewards for using Travala. It seems to me that they are getting no coiners into crypto. They must hold huge amount of AVA. AVA is backed by binance. Something is not right here.

I’m not going to describe Bitcoin’s issue of scalability, because you guys probably know it. What I’m going to do instead is ask your opinion about a new cryptocurrency. Yes I’m a holder of this coin, so my opinion is very biased. This is a token. The token’s name is AVA. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/travala/
Is this a shill masked as a genuine question?

BEP20 token on the Binance Smart chain have low fees and fast transaction because of the centralized architecture. The settlements are basically just what a centralized database would do but in the form of a blockchain data structure.

There is no point in calling such a topic SOLUTION to bitcoin because then there are almost 4000 SOLUTIONS (and growing) that get touted on CMC and others. Most of these "tokens" are really just applications whose success depends on the quality of developers and the pace of development. There is no point in talking about decentralization in those cases. Many of these projects end up swallowing your money while it'll seem completely innocent to you as a buyer. There is inherent risk in these and identifying the short term devs from the actual product is the challenge which will get you money.

I’m no shill. I’m just genuinely curious about this project. Imagine a scenario where you lost your private key. In PoW consensus, there’s absolutely nothing you could do. In PoS consensus, there’s absolutely nothing you could do. In PoSA, validators can theoretically help right? If you could prove to one of the centralized validators that you were the owner of the private key by giving undeniable evidence that you were the owner of that private key. They can omit the transaction from the network and ask the sender to send the transaction again to a new address. But then you need to rely on the validators and the sender. Seems like a better consensus system than PoW and PoS.

Can someone please explain how they are doing this?
Travala is a token and not a coin, this means that it operates on the algorithm of the platform on which it is built upon, in this case; that platform is binance chain and the algorithm is PoSA (Proof Of Staked Authority)

Bitcoin on the other hand uses a PoW (Proof of Work) algorithm. This ensures all blocks are valid and provides hightened security as it is very expensive and non profitable to attempt an attack on the network. The solution to bitcoins scalability issue is not to switch to another coin simply because they offer faster transactions, there are existing methods to make it much easier to transact in Bitcoin like LN, segwit, consolidating inputs etc, and there should be more in the future.

I think the solution is to switch to an alternative coin or a token, because the average person doesn’t know about lightning network, sending transactions with 0 fees and other ways to reduce network fees or increase speed. What is the point in hoping Bitcoin will be able to scale one day when you already got coins and tokens that have already solved the problem of scalability? And how could you possibly say PoW is secure than PoS? Because I don’t know any known way of PoS getting hacked?

PoSA is somewhat a hybrid of centralization and decentralization. You could say it is centralized decentralization. Who do you think the validators of AVA Token?

Yes I’m a holder of this coin, so my opinion is very biased. This is a token. The token’s name is AVA. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/travala/

This Token is on the Binance chain (BEP2). What these guys have essentially done is, they have created a token with negligible fees, fastest transaction speed (almost instant) and therefore it is scalable. They have applications on both playstore and AppStore. Their wallet is their application. They literally charge 0 fees to send someone AVA tokens from their wallet.

This Token is on BEP2 network. Transaction cost is negligible. Can someone please explain how they are doing this? My guess is these guys are holding huge amount of AVA.

on 28/01/2021, 04:00:55 UTC
I booked a room in a “5 star” hotel on 23rd January 2021. It was around 1:00 a.m. So technically, it is 23rd of January 2021. When I tried to check in, they said I have to wait till 2:00p.m.

I understand that hotels have their own terms and conditions. I asked for their terms and conditions. They refused to give their terms and conditions. It seems like they don’t even have terms and conditions. When I did some research, I found out that they don’t even have a privacy policy. So, I went home without checking in. Before 2:00p.m, I got a call from the hotel and the person that spoke said “don’t come to our establishment”.

They ignore my phone calls and emails. I emailed them and said I’m going to sue them if they don’t have terms and conditions. They refunded my money. I emailed them and said, I will help you guys prepare terms and conditions if you don’t have one. They ignored me. If they don’t have terms and conditions, I can literally go their and do ANYTHING I want. Anyone who is reading this can even sue for billion dollars or put this place up for rent. Call them and ask for terms and conditions if you guys want. Maybe they have prepared one now.

I don’t want to spread any FUD. But, it seems like a double spend has already occurred. https://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-double-spend-flaw-critical-report-suggests-2021-1

I don’t know the validity of this article, but the threat is imminent. And I personally believe team Satoshi is active in this forum. Now, I don’t want to start any arguments. I have laid the foundation for that. Won’t be commenting in a while.

Watched it. I have a counter argument. He said “ we kick those bastards off the network, rework the protocol around them”

Then the attacker will simply join the forked blockchain again and continue to double spend again. The amount of power needed will also be a lot less this time. How are you going to rework the protocol around them? You can’t.

What is the incentive for a 51% attack? I don't want to go into techincal details because you don't seem to be well aware of the basics, at least judging by this part you mentioned.

Quote
If you have unlimited free energy, you don’t have to have 1 million ASICs to launch a 51% attack. You would only need one giant ASIC.

But I'll tell you how wrong you are economically

Quote
It will be expensive. But, the return on investment is much higher. ~

The return on investment won't be great - it's the opposite, it will be the best way to burn your money, 51% on BTC is technically a possibility there is no doubt about it, but you will need at least a (rough estimate )1 billion $ to attempt an attack of such kind, so if you don't double-spend that same amount of money then you gain nothing, I am not sure how would someone spend 1 billion in a short period of time, you deposit 10% of that amount in any exchange and it will be stuck there for a very long time until they are done with all the KYC stuff, let alone liquidity issues.

The next thing you need to solve is doing this silently without brining any attention, because the moment you do, everyone will start asking for a dozen confirmation, and by the end of the day you will end up with worthless mining gears because an attack on bitcoin will bring it's value down.

The attack is doable but surely not for the purpose of profit, you will do it just to hurt bitcoin.


Alright. I’m going to stop commenting on this thread. I keep saying how it is profitable to launch a 51% attack and everyone else is saying how it is not. I can explain how wrong you are but I’m not going to do that. If I do that, someone else will try to explain how wrong I am again. I see no point in having this discussion.

But let me clear your doubt about ASICs before I stop commenting. ASIC is a microchip designed for a special application. These chips/chip can be as small or as large as necessary. The size doesn’t matter especially when you have unlimited electricity for free.

Apart from taking into consideration what stompix said about "one giant ASIC", I think you should still watch that 2 minutes video, Andreas Antonopoulos - 51% Bitcoin Attack , I was talking about earlier in this thread.

There will be no return! The attackers will just lose huge money, that's all.

I think it is safe to assume that you are some kid who has just come across a bunch of spoofy bullshit on youtube and has also found interest in crypto. Internet can be crazy that way now that you don't have to go to a library or a laboratory to test what people are telling you. All you need is a video, some more videos about Tesla and other geniuses. Bet you love the Ted Talks, right?

First things first, Welcome to the forum.

Second thing; when Sci-Fi talks about an unlimited source of energy to power a super advanced civilization, it only means that the civilization has found a way to harness nearly unlimited energy. Say, from cold fusion, a Dyson sphere or in your case, unlimited energy with a throughput of multiple Gigawatts derived from a stone. (I'll not go into the details of how much continuous throughput you will actually need for a power source to match Bitcoin's hashing power). The point is that even an "unlimited source" of energy is not free. So your hypothetical 51% attacker will still have to buy all those resources.

You see, no blockchain is infallible. Its only the "cost" of an attack that determines its security. Why do you think all of those 1000 chains did not see people putting in billions of dollars? Because people with wealth are not stupid. The steps to attack a PoW chain will include raising capital, buying insane amount of miners, connecting to the network without anyone noticing (a 50% surge), paying for all that energy and then finding a time to attack.

And then, Attack what?? Crack open the 1 Million Satoshi vault?? Not possible. All you can do is a re-org and a double spend. You need to find yourself a "buyer" stupid enough to buy billions of worth of BTC and not look into the state of chain at that time.

For PoS, all you need is to buy enough of the crypto so that you are the biggest staker. That is ALL you need to attack a PoS chain. Happens all the time with smaller chains.

Now stop watching silly Youtube videos or you will end up thinking that Earth is flat. We have those loonies in our forum too. Even they don't believe that PoS is better than PoW for the foundational money of crypto.


I think it is safe to assume that you are a 40 year old, Indian dude, worried about losing the value of bitcoin by some kid you haven’t even met. You have the mentality of a typical sheep. I assume that in a country where there are billions of people, there isn’t much choice right? If you want bitcoin to be successful, you must look at all possible ways it could fail. Do you really think, 100 or 200 years from now, no one is going to find a way to harness unlimited energy with very little cost? I guess you don’t have to worry because you are not going to live that long right?

If you have unlimited free energy, you don’t have to have 1 million ASICs to launch a 51% attack. You would only need one giant ASIC. Yes. It will be expensive. But, the return on investment is much higher. Energy taken from a rock is not like other sources of energy. For example, to harness energy from the sun, you would need many solar panels. And the funniest thing is when someone launches the attack, you can’t do anything about it. You can only watch.

You are correct. PoS has a high risk of some party achieving monopoly of the currency. However, there are several methods to prevent that. For example, by allocating random stakeholders to agree on a new block, and others.

Thank you for welcoming me to the forum.

Magnetic fields can create electric fields. In fact, every time you change a magnetic field, you create an electric field. This is called Faraday's Law of Induction.

If I were you I would quit right now and either rush to grab a 6th grade book on Physics or change that whole topic to visit Sri Lanka and witness a rock like a thousand others in the world. Oh wait, even better, why not build a Pyramid like the one in Giza at the North Magnetic Pole and fit it with mining gear, free electricity, and free cooling!
Now, why are paying 8cents per kWh in Sri Lanka if you have this magical rock? I would have expected it to be full of drilled sockets by now.

EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux.

Whatever you do next, don't put a Geiger counter next to a banana, or you're going to bring forth the fall of the Banana Industry just as you're destroying bitcoin now with your revelations.

PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system.

Sorry for your coins not reaching ATH like bitcoin but the energy problem in Pow pales in comparison to the monopolies that can rise with PoS

Which fairytale did you just jump out of? A magical glowing rock that gives unlimited energy?

I don't think it even glows or they would have already smashed it to pieces and used it as lamps.


I don’t want to argue with you. I only want to discuss ideas, so that everyone can learn from our conversation. That is why it is called “Bitcoin Discussion”.

It may sound like a fairly tale for you and all the readers. But, all the brilliant ideas were once ridiculed. Few years back, if I told you, I can send sound through a wire or through the air, you would have laughed at me. But today, it is a reality.

If you only learn what is taught to you on a 6th grade physics book, you will never think outside the box. If a rock emits free, unlimited energy, harnessing that energy to mine bitcoin is a very practical idea. My idea could be complete b.s. After all, it is just a rock that has a carving on it that looks similar to modern day induction coils. If a rock emits energy, the first thing people think about doing is worshiping that rock. That is a fool’s mentality. No one thinks about harnessing energy from a rock to mine bitcoin.

If there is only one known flaw in the bitcoin code, that will be THE flaw that will be exploited one day. It will always be prone to exploitation.

Pyramids, this rock, and all the man built ancient structures are very advance structures that look so primitive. If I want to build something highly advance, I want it to be simple as possible.

Your idea of “build a Pyramid like the one in Giza at the North Magnetic Pole and fit it with mining gear, free electricity, and free cooling!”, could actually be a brilliant idea. You may say this as a joke, but if you consider the feasibility, the cost, it may actually work.

Nikola Tesla tried to do something similar. He almost gave free electricity to everyone. https://youtu.be/I1IDC8FEIBU

You’ve spent time writing a comment that ridiculed my idea. This only proves one thing to me. It proves that there’s a fragment in your mind that believes what I say makes sense. You know 51% attack will always be a threat and your natural reaction was to ridicule.

As Nikola Tesla once said
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

This sacred rock is just one way of tapping into unlimited energy... And this is the biggest threat to Bitcoin and other PoW coins.

There's some naïve humor in this. I mean, seriously? You do think that this sacred rock is a threat to Bitcoin? I've read that the people in Sri Lanka has good access to electricity but it has not yet reached 100%.[1] And how many households does this rock actually provide free electricity to? I guess none. So before we talk of this rock threatening PoW coins, let's first consider its better and more immediate use.

Well, other than this rock, we actually have unlimited energy sources. We'll never run out of the sun's heat, for example. Neither will our wind get exhausted. We also have unlimited atoms for fission and fusion. And so far, Bitcoin has never been threatened by all this.
 
[1] https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/sri-lanka?country=~LKA

Yes we have unlimited energy. We have the sun, the wind, the ocean, plants, atoms. These are all unlimited energy sources. However, harnessing energy from these sources is very expensive. The threat is not unlimited, free energy. The threat is if someone finds a way to utilize unlimited energy for very little cost. Look up Nikola Tesla - Limitless Energy

EMF detector will show even very small changes in energies. And if you take an EMF detector and measure the electromotive force produced by this rock, you can see that the EMF meter's needle immediately goes all the way to the other side, which means, there is very high energy emitted from this rock.
And just what was the sensitivity of that meter? Full scale =100v? 1v? 1micro-volt? Without reference to the measurement ranges used stating that "the needle goes all the way over" is absolutely meaningless. EMF stands for Electro-Magnetic Field and that is measured in volts/cm2. Ya know - the Electro part of the name...

This rock is guarded by a fence to protect people from the energy it emits. EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux.
5mG when measuring what? Ever hear of a loadstone? They are fairly strongly magnetic - way more than 5mG. For reference, a refrigerator magnet is 100 gauss - and that is a STRONG refrigerator magnet. The typical strength of the Earth's magnetic field at its surface is around a half a gauss. Gauss is a measurement of magnetic field strength with zero regard to a voltage field so wrong again...

If someone discovers a free, unlimited energy source, launching a 51% attack would be just a matter of seconds. And that is exactly what has happened.

There is a sacred rock located in Ranmasu Uyana, Sri Lanka. You can check here:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranmasu_Uyana

This rock is said to have the oldest carving in the world. Older than the pyramids. What is interesting about this rock is that it emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy. This place is referred to as a Stargate.

You can use an EMF detector and check the electromotive force emitted by this rock. An EMF detector is used to measure the electrical action produced by a non-electrical source.

EMF detector will show even very small changes in energies. And if you take an EMF detector and measure the electromotive force produced by this rock, you can see that the EMF meter's needle immediately goes all the way to the other side, which means, there is very high energy emitted from this rock. Potentially unlimited and free energy. You can check the video here: https://youtu.be/B-W-nQOQdq8

This rock is guarded by a fence to protect people from the energy it emits. EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux. Potentially unlimited. A Stargate in simplest terms is a gate to the stars. And there is an infinite number of stars in the ever expanding universe. This rock (star gate) emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy.

With the right resources, anyone can easily utilize this unlimited energy to launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network. The cost of launching such attack would be incredibly low. The energy emitted from this rock can be easily converted to electrical energy with the right resources.

Discovering an unlimited energy source is a breakthrough. A breakthrough like that would have a lot of ramifications; not only to Bitcoin network but also to every human being on planet earth. But, my focus is only on Bitcoin.

If anyone properly utilizes unlimited, free energy, he/she can easily launch a 51% attack on all PoW coins with very little cost.

This sacred rock is just one way of tapping into unlimited energy. There are so many other inventions and discoveries that can generate unlimited energy for very little cost and resources. All these discoveries are hidden from the public by the powers that be. And this is the biggest threat to Bitcoin and other PoW coins.

The Solution

PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.
