We have now released our newest PWR QT wallet version 3.1.0. This is NOT a mandatory update but contains some very nice improvements and updates! https://github.com/PWRcoin/PWRcoin/releases
Will the new wallet have the same addresses and transaction history as the one existing?

Hi guys;

I have an issue, I bought 26018188.40515002PWR. Due to the reality that I was going to be busy and not be able to access my accounts, in addition to, PWR Swap was announced, hence, I transferred the said account to Cryptohub exchange. I have just tried to check Cryptohub and the site is no longer or being rebranded.

 

I have yet to upgrade my wallet too. [PWR v2.0.3.0]



Any recommendations on how to approach to get my coins back?

Regards;

Re: Drawbacks of Cryptocurrency from becoming MainStream

1. I can't think of many good reasons for memorizing an address. Anyway, sometimes transferring an address between devices can be cumbersome, but usually it is not a problem and there are ways other than writing it down. Some sort of address registration service might be helpful, but if it were really necessary, it would have already been created.

I do believe the long address is difficult (for moms and pops) for people whom are not knowledgeable in technology. I know for a fact that aloth of peoplke around me if they were to get into crypto-currency they would loose a part or all their budget on trivial reasons.

2. The problem with being able to get your money back when you make a mistake is that you can also get your money back when you don't. It enables the kind of serious fraud that banks and credit card companies have to deal with. If you need a third-party to validate transactions, then you have eliminated the main advantage of a cryptocurrency.

It seems like what you are asking for is a banking system and debit cards. That has all the features you want and it already exists.

Not talking about pulling your money regardless, but certain conditions have to be met. With a number of feature to be added to reduce the chances of mistaken transactions.
As mentioned before, limited quantity transfer to be received until certain conditions are met to verify that the use of this wallet is for actual use (human verification). Not exposing the users identity but to ensure the address has not just been initialized and left or produced by bot.

The long address isn't a problem - use QR codes, or a link shortening service.

Link shortening service?

Not a third party, but the wallet itself, something similar to checksum which shows that is valid by have a check on the transaction history.

Check address 321

Owner address                                  |    321 Address
Transaction History                            |    Transaction History
Check Function sent 0.001                  |    Received 0.001 from xxxx (check function)
to address 321                                  |    Sending 0.001 to xxxx
Received from 321 Check                     |

Drawbacks of Cryptocurrency from becoming MainStream
by
sub-80
on 30/03/2018, 20:29:42 UTC
    Hey;

    The negatives/drawbacks of Crypto-currency that prevent it from becoming mainstream in my opinion:

  • 1-Long address
The 30 so character address that are difficult to be memorized and can be difficult to write down from phone to pc. And has a high chance of being written down incorrectly.

  • 2-Cancel Incorrect Transfers
If you incorrectly transfer coins to a wrong address, that is it you cannot retrieve it back.
[/list]

For the first issue: I believe maybe grouping or paid secondary address would work.
     Grouping:
     a word or two to cover the 20 characters and keep the 10 characters.
     Rain-Wantan-05ba15fd82f

     Secondary Address:
     You would pay a fee to associate your 30 so character wallet address to a preferred address.
     e.g. my-ether-wallet-addres-123,  crypto-gaint-6000-wallet etc.

For Second Issue:
     a-Limit quantity to be transferred (receiving and sending) until the address goes through  human verification process to verify not a bot.
     b-Transfer occurs only after the
     c-A subcategory in the transfer part stating the type of transfer (similar to banks)
        ex. Personal Transfer (Transfer to one of the owners wallets will only occur if the address is in an address book)
             Donation (
             Purchase (Used for sales, only completed once an invoice is received)
             Other (Parameters to be Set)
             etc.
    d-An automated check function: where a small amount is transferred to the placed address and sent back to the orginator. In which the transfer check will appear in the history. If the wrong           address is placed no harm is done as the amount is sent back.
    e-Address Type: Fee to be spent to assign update the address from personal to charity, retail, in which these address would be available in a address book.
    
        
Please state your opinion of drawbacks and solution to any mentioned.



Thanks;

It is going to die soon. Had similar experience. I didn't buy a new one, but I put a fan for compute case instead, and the temperatures were even better Tongue
I tried placing a case fan on 280x and the temp did not improve at all.

Hi;

I have 2  Gpus with one fan that is wobbling and hitting the gpu fan case. The temp levels are in the 60s-70s which are ok. but should I replace them and if there is a fix method please share.

Thanks
Does it still occur in higher speeds? Mine does the same thing in low RPMs but it's fine in higher. You can remove it, clean it and try to apply some sort of lubrication (Silicone oil) to the bearings to see if that helps at all. If not, just buy a new one from eBay, it won't cost more than $10 ea.

At high speed some times it hits the frame and sometimes for days it will run with out a scratch

Which has best debit/credit card?
by

on 03/03/2018, 10:51:14 UTC
Good Day;

Between the well known company that allow bitcoin deposit and offer debit/credit card which is the best? 

Xapo upon fast survey of the forum has a weaker reputation.

I know American Express is different but it is a company than a Bank. As Crypto is banned or undecided in some countries so wanted a credit card that will work everywhere without concern.

I used Wirex, 1year ago quite the nightmare. Documents were not verified and customer support was almost none existent.

Since I have personal info and also make purchases on them. Am concerned of increased vulnerability to hacking/malware if I mine on them. As Mining Software are flagged by antivirus software.

Hello;

Currently my wallets are on my desktop but when outside I wish I could check the wallet balance from my phone. Is there a method?
Will never have the wallet only on my phone, as I once set my phone to factory setting and forgot to transfer my credit.

Hey Guys;

I have 2 rigs one 6 280x with only five operating and the other 6 7950 only five operating (the sixth is defective)
I am currently mining vtc and according to calculator it will take me more than 4 years to break even which is ridiculous.
I wanted to make some pocket money on the side but this looks like a failure.

Any ideas to which coin to switch to or is mining died?
