i think the market already anticipated the giveaway Wink

i think that on the giveaway we will see a nice spike up.

And there's always the chance that someday they may change their minds, and decide to burn large chunks of coins instead of continuing free distribution.  That'd be one way they could massively increase market cap anyway  Wink

Lol. What a ridiculous idea. Never going to happen and that's a good thing.

Funny how many "Never going to happen" end up happening in crypto. Such a ridiculous idea yet coins change their distribution plans all the time  Roll Eyes

I guess you don't really understand what stellar is all about.

Removal of unmoved coins will occur at block height 480000 (~March 1) and the estimated new supply is 3.5 million. 1 March.

Is that info correct?

The coin burn took place at block 480k on February 16th:

Is there a converter or a program to transform Bitcoin addresses to Bitcoin Private addresses?
I am just wondering how I can get to know if I receive coins from the fork.

The coinomi wallet mentioned supports BTCP.  However, I think it will be too late to sweep any BTC private keys at this point to claim BTCP.  This is because the coin burn was conducted last week at block 480k, and any private keys associated with unmoved BTCP were burnt.

For those that may be unaware, there was a 1:1 snapshot that occurred on Feb 28, 2018 at block height 272,991 for Zclassic (ZCL) and block height 511,346 for Bitcoin (BTC), where people who owned Bitcoin or ZClassic were entitled to the equivalent in BTCP (Bitcoin Private), accessed with the same private keys. However, simply importing your private key into a wallet isn’t really enough action to claim your coins, as nothing happens on the blockchain. Coins that have not moved (been included in a transaction) since the snapshot are considered unclaimed and will be burned.

Additionally, in order to avoid a chain split, the removal of unmoved coins will not be done slowly over 2 years but immediately and simultaneously at block height 480,000

Re: The first Bitcoin (BTC) transaction received to an IP address ?

Interesting discussion.

This reminded me of a tweet from Adam Back a few weeks ago, regarding the first BTC transaction to Hal Finney:

https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1087013943330172930

Quote
curious what old TCPIP connection payments look like? the 1st #bitcoin transaction (from Satoshi to Hal Finney) was a p2pk, uncompressed pub key, for which no address format exists https://blockstream.info/tx/a16f3ce4dd5deb92d98ef5cf8afeaf0775ebca408f708b2146c4fb42b41e14be#expand,output:0,input:0 … a deprecated method, direct p2p payment


Satoshi talking about disabling receive by IP feature:

Probably best to disable receiving by IP unless you specifically intend to use it.  This is a lot of surface area that nobody uses that doesn't need to be open by default.

In storefront cases, you would typically only want customers to send payments through your automated system that only hands out bitcoin addresses associated with particular orders and accounts.  Random unidentified payments volunteered to the server's IP address would be unhelpful.

In general, sending by IP has limited useful cases.  If connecting directly without a proxy, the man-in-the-middle risk may be tolerable, but no privacy.  If you use a privacy proxy, man-in-the-middle risk is unacceptably high.  If we went to all the work of implementing SSL, only large storefronts usually go to the trouble of getting a CA cert, but most of those cases would still be better off to use bitcoin addresses.

I uploaded this change to SVN rev 156.  The switch to enable is "-allowreceivebyip".

Senders with this version will get the error "Recipient is not accepting transactions sent by IP address".  Older version senders will get "Transfer was not accepted".

I used a different name for the switch because "-allowiptransactions" sounds like it includes sending.  If there's a better name for the switch, we can change it again.

Hi,

there was a swap but i didn't got my new tokens. I had the old tokens on the blockchain (not in a exchange) before the swap but received nothing. You can see that the tokens where on the blockchain at the airdrop date when i recieved the "old" tokens.

> Ibtc swap is moved to 27th of December so that we can create more awareness for the swap. The new contract is ready but some people still have about 3 million ibtc in exchange. The one week grace is final. Please move your ibtc out of etherdelta for swap. Pass it on

Don isn't answering in Telegram channel

What's left to do?

Yeah, I think that's the game being played here.

Old :0x90c88CCd74e57e016acaE8aD1EAA12ECf4C06F33
New: 0x0784dbabb6c6834bddfb7cfee116ba049e5dafab

So just for clarification, the old ibtc is useless, right?

I guess I can forget about this project now.

Hello i need some help, i just upgraded semux wallet but now wallet not sync, someone please give me solution.
Thanks for nice project.

This bug has been around for a long time, and there is currently no definitive solution. Although I am not sure what caused it, many people have encountered similar situations.
There are many solution ways, you can try.
1. Back up your wallet, then uninstall your semux wallet, delete all the data, and reinstall it.
2. Quit your VPN, if you don't use VPN, try changing IP.
3. Delete the data about the network connection in the Regedit and restart your computer.
4. Restart the router.
5. Reinstall Window.



One more thing you might try is updating/reinstalling Java runtime environment.

Re: Introducing the 310 BTC Bitcoin Challenge
by

on 12/10/2018, 04:31:14 UTC
How about this little theory:

A hacker has commited a grand bitcoin theft a while ago and is now trying to clear the trails to these Bitcoins through a puzzle. The one who will win the grand prize is the hacker himself, who can now hide behind the claim he has won the Bitcoins with his sheer knowledge.

Edit: Maybe the victims can ask for a subpoena to check a certain Binance account? Maybe there is another account at Polo, that might be interesting for LE.

A few addons to my theory:
(OP's wallet from 04-04-2018 until now)
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3KCEGC4GaATQCnzogrpSDRJLKAjWvgudmW (OP's wallet from 04-04-2018 until now)
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/13hLyfRHg7p9Zw7WHToRT67JR1HR92Mvxw (OP's wallet until 04-04-2018)


Just quoting myself. Well played, OP.

If your theory is right, making the 0.31 part unsolvable would be a nice touch  Cheesy

That was fast. I guess it wasn't necessary to find all 3 smaller prizes first to get the 310 BTC; the 0.31 BTC puzzle remains unsolved.

I really like the super clean look of the wallet. However it could use some basic features, like a backup/export wallet option. I can't find it anywhere (maybe it's just me), so a user will have to copy the json file from the appdata folder.

Re: 1 second block time - what will happen ? Pros/Cons
by

Much more orphans. If you're using POW, the delay in the block relays would be much more significant than the block interval.

If the number of required confirmations remains the same, the security of the merchant accepting the transactions would decreases significantly. As compared to before, less resources is required to attack the chain and double spend your own transaction. I can't think of any significant advantage to lowering the block time to that amount.

Instead of a strict targeted block time, would it be possible to adjust difficulty partly based on orphan rate? So that as orphan rate increases, difficulty would also adjust upward, increasing block time (and lowering orphan rate).

Re: Is waves mining(becoming a full node) a good idea?
by
monsanto
on 20/09/2018, 19:43:09 UTC
3K WAVES is around $6300 at the current price, so not that much comparing with some other big crypto masternodes. Also it is more of an investment, if you belive in the project and that price will go up, your node could be worth few times more than now.

@ivaf
Do you know how much coins you can earn running full node, or maybe have any link to such info?

Oh sure. You can see the profitability here: http://dev.pywaves.org/generators/
In the column "Average Gen. Balance" shows the amount on the balance of the Full node, and in the column "Waves fees" - the approximate number of Waves, which this Full node receives for the mining per day. To run the mining now the minimum necessary balance of 1000 Waves.

Interesting information. Looks like running a waves validator with minimum balance of 1000 waves (over $2k) currently would only make ~$10/year.
