Re: Portfolio tracker

Good day to all,

I am looking for a paid API web-based portfolio tracking tool that will allow me to track my current assets profit/loss in real time. I tried cointrackin.info, but I did not really like it to be honest, I am only looking my portfolio and nothing else. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean by API web-based portfolio tracking tool?

The ones that I've trialled and found working are the following: Blockfolio, altpocket, cryptocompare. Blockfolio is limited to being a mobile application while altpocket and cryptocompare all are website-based.

Also I've got a spreadsheet that I've hired someone from freelancer to make that tracks your holdings. It's somewhat more flexible compared to what you would normally get, but there will be disadvantages such as frequency of updates being lower, etc. Let me know if you're interested in that.

by api based, i mean that if for example, i make a buy on bittrex, it will add it to my portfolio automatically, without me having to manually enter it.

Re: How is the price exactly being manipulated downwards

at first when we were not on a downtrend (above $10k price) nobody was expecting a drop and it was full on manipulation. price kept crawling upwards but large amounts of bitcoin was being dumped on the market and kept pushing it down.

when the downtrend officially started, everyone changed their strategies because it was obviously a downtrend so it got bigger and will continue getting bigger until we reach a satisfying bottom where the accumulation begins. it is no longer much of a manipulation but the market wanting to go down as everyone is on board!


In your opinion where do you think the bottom could be before there is a reversal??

thanks...

Hi to all,


I have been taking a look at orderbooks, especialy at bitfinex, and it shows an overwhelming majority of buy orders, against sell orders. How the hell is the price being manipulated downwards??? Come someone please explain this?

Can anyone vouch for this guy? He seems legit. He is on youtube. I want to join his paid telegram channel, but I can't find any bad or good information on the internet.


Does anyone know who he is? He is Korean from what I gathered, and he looks legit, I just want to hear it from someone.

Re: Trezor vs Ledger Nano S?
by
kcsunshine
on 10/12/2017, 02:19:05 UTC
Hello,

Looking to buy a HW wallet, which one is best by all means, which also support alts.

Trezor or Ledger Nano S?

I have ledgerwallet and I am very content with it. There was a recent hardware exploit that took advantage of a design flaw in a chip used by trezor. Trezor has patched this with a firmware update, but keep in mind that it was a hardware problem patched with firmware. I am not sure if a similiar exploit can resurface.


There is no known attack for the ledgerwallet, and they use a different chip than trezor.

I would like to think anyone knowledgeable with bitcoin would spot a scam like this easily.

Sadly people still fall for these things.

now that i look at the site, I can see it's a total scam.

I just inputed about 20 different seeds I generated using electrum wallet. haha he deserves it. I suggest a bunch of us do the same.

The website below claims to redeem your bitcoin diamon if you paste your 12 word seed. Not sure if this is legit or not.

Re: Accidentally sent BTC to BCH

I purchased some Bitcoin on Coinbase with the intent of sending it to Poloniex. I accidentally sent my Bitcoin to my Bitcoin Cash address on Poloniex. Is it possible to retrieve the Bitcoin or is it gone?


It is going to be very difficult for you to get those bitcoins back, especially since you don't own the private keys to the wallet that you sent to. My guess is that you are out of luck. i hope it was not a great quantity.

Each wallet on poloniex has a warning on it stating to only send that currency (e.g only send bitcoin cash to this wallet) or you risk losing your coins.

To provide insite to this thread, I will add that the transaction was sent from a coinomi wallet, and if I am correct, they use shapeshift.
How did this happen exactly? Was it someone at your house, showing you his wallet? I've heard about fake banking apps (in the Netherlands), used to pretend to pay someone when buying goods. A fake Bitcoin app would be new to me.

Quote
This transaction looked perfectly normal  especially right after it was transmitted, because the negative balance did not show up until the next day!!!
The negative balance on blockchain.info only happened when they made the second payment (the real payment).

Quote
One would have assumed that this would have eventually confirmed, but it was never going to!!!
With the current high fees I wouldn't assume it confirms before it's dropped from mempool. I have an outgoing unconfirmed transaction for 3 days now, I'm curious to see if it gets dropped (in which case I'll rebroadcast it) or that it just stays unconfirmed until it confirms.

It's a friend. He claims that he initiated the transaction from his coinomi wallet and that all of a sudden the funds appeared back in his wallet for some reason, and then he tried to send them out to a different address. to be clear, i did not get ripped off, and the only reason that I am wondering about this, is because I have never seen this before. I buy a lot of btc from strangers, and once i see the transaction coming, i check the fee, make sure it's unspent, and then i pay them without the tx getting confirmed. In this case I would have been burnt.


The second payment registers a day later. It is still unexplained why the funds came back, and as someone stated here as well, the first tx only shows up on blockchain.info. It no longer shows on any other block explorer and may never have, not sure.

So the transaction to your address 13Y46QiUbbqEZhHWgHdHUJpt8PrEfz8qTk will soon disappear or be marked as "double-spend".
It's not even a double spend, it was never spend to TS.
If it's a double spend, blockchain.info shows a big warning. Now it shows this:
https://s18.postimg.org/daus8sk21/gif.gif
Note the negative Final Balance.

Blockchain.info has bugs: it is possible to create "transactions" that only show up on blockchain.info. I've seen it before. I don't know how they do it, it seems they only broadcast it to blockchain.info and not to other nodes. This typically shows a negative balance on the address, which obviously shouldn't be possible.
If you try to find the transaction in any other block explorer, it doesn't exist.
I don't know why blockchain.info doesn't fix this, it's abused by scammers a lot.

So I do I detect from the beggining that a user is trying to rip me off??? How do I know he didn't send those funds to two wallets at the same time or something??? I need to know this because Ido a lot of bitcoin transactions.
This scam could have been seen by checking another block explorer, or probably your own wallet too. I'm pretty sure this one didn't show up in your own wallet yet.
Satoshi recommends to wait for 6 confirmations before trusting a transaction. Unless you're dealing with very high amounts, I'd take 1 confirmation as enough.


Very interesting.

To provide insite to this thread, I will add that the transaction was sent from a coinomi wallet, and if I am correct, they use shapeshift. Scary. Lesson learned here. Use more than one block explorer to check tx.

This transaction looked perfectly normal  especially right after it was transmitted, because the negative balance did not show up until the next day!!! One would have assumed that this would have eventually confirmed, but it was never going to!!!

If you have anymore comments as to what i added it would be appreciated, and thanks for your valuable input.

When someone is sending me bitcoin then, how do I detect a double spend before the transaction to me is confirmed??
by NOT acknowledging the transaction UNLESS it has received certain number of confirmations
some exchanges or services only credit user deposit after 3 or 6 confirmations for safety
in another words... you should never proceed your business before you are sure the tx is confirmed
even with 1 confirmation it could turn unconfirmed if it was rejected by the rest nodes on the main chain

Quote
Wait a minute. The transaction you show there that is confirmed, happened a day later. So I ask again (please no offense), How is it that the first transaction I show was sent back please. Look at the dates.
exactly... it is confirmed a day later while the earlier tx never got confirmation at all
so the latter tx is consider valid after a few confirmations and the earlier will be dropped and treated as invalid
its not about which one was sent out first but which one is confirmed first and accepted by majority nodes

WOW!!

Can someone please explain what happened here exactly please? The below transaction was initiated with a fee per of 143 satoshis per byte, and it is showing unspent on the blockchain, but apparently the sender said that it came back to him. How could this possibly be???

address
https://blockchain.info/address/13Y46QiUbbqEZhHWgHdHUJpt8PrEfz8qTk


As seen here https://blockchain.info/address/1GRGJdVCv3nFoUHgducFwiVsUWzmfz864E , he double-spend to another address(3Q1FLQFfbsXsF4VfPjwYkbHhfxLSaqxjRA) with a higher fee.

So the transaction to your address 13Y46QiUbbqEZhHWgHdHUJpt8PrEfz8qTk will soon disappear or be marked as "double-spend".

I took a look at the first transaction listed, and you are not even at 50 satoshis per byte. As I write this, network congestion is at 221,700 unconfirmed transactions.

Transactions fees are going up everyday. Take a look at the chart in the link below to see how fees are skyrocketing everyday. The current required fee to get confirmed in the next block is 433 satoshis per byte. I suggest you try an accelerator such as viabtc or confirmtx. I am not sure if they will accept your transaction. I just went through this myself, with success, thanks to help from this forum.

I don't even see your second transaction on the blockchain. I am sure someone with more experience than me will chime in. Good luck, because that is over 2 btc you have in limbo there.

Hi,

you can try viabtc and confirmtx. I used both of them last night, not sure which one took it, once I accelerated, it was confirmed within 4-5 hours.
