$6,700 Bitcoin Price Charts Bullish Reversal as Altcoins Surge
gaming rig for the wife
so I used to be smart with hardware.... but that was windows XP era. I'll call myself above stupid now. My wife wants to get back into gaming so I need to build her a rig. We don't need the best of the best, something "good enough". When digging through PCPartpicker, I kept going this is better and ended up with a 4k build. I'd like to stay in the sub $1500 range. I'm hoping to get suggestions on parts that will allow her to play at decent settings but not looking to set any benchmark records.
Cooling: This area I have little knowledge of. I put a water cooler on an old PC that was overheating and was in love with how quiet it was. Are the systems with big illuminated reservoirs necessary on these builds or is that all show? ... They are pretty though.
OS drive: I'm assuming the OS should go on the M.2 drive. If the OS and boot applications are the only thing on the M.2, should I get like a 128GB and save money for other components.
Storage: I picked up a 1TB SSD on Amazon for $100 so I think I'm good there. I also have a 8TB File server so I think I don't need to spend any money on this. The way I'm thinking is a 128-300GB M.2 for boot apps and the 1TB SSD for local file storage.
CPU: I go down a rabbit hole when looking at these but truth is I still look at modern CPU's with old people eyes. Do I need an I7 to play games decently or should I save and get an I5. Should I get the I7 but with less cores? I feel like this component can make or break budget and I don't know enough to make an informed decision.
GPU: This is where I planned on putting the big chunk of cash. I was thinking a 1070Ti or 1080Ti. Both do VR, both should play games at very good resolution/frame rate. The Bitcoin crash is really helping with GPU prices so better is becoming more of an option. I'm not sure how much RAM is good in a graphics card, probably the more the better. What would be a good card for good game play but not a serious gamer.
MOBO: I was thinking about throwing the other info into PCPartpicker and letting it tell me what is compatible and then reading stats. Anything I should be looking for?
Ram: probably just going to read reviews on compatible parts
Power supply: should I be picky here or just get something compatible with power requirements?
OS: most likely sticking Windows 10 on this.
That's all I can think of right now. Am I missing anything? Thanks for any input you give, it's good to learn new stuff.

Bitcoin Price Volatility Hits Lowest Level In Nearly 2 Years
Experience with vendors that accept bitcoin?
From what I can find there are two vendors that accept bitcoin: puro express and my-cuban-cigars.com. Does anybody have any recent experience with these vendors?
It sounds like puro express had a good reputation up until it changed ownership a few years ago. It seems that they have surly customer support, and that white mold spots are common especially on tubos. Some recent reviews on other sites question the authenticity. One thing to note is that they also make accurate declaration as far as the identifying the content as cigars and value is not underdeclared. Can anyone speak to authenticity of recent shipments from this vendor, and whether their declaration on packages would be guaranteed to cause problems for shipping to certain countries?
I only found out about my-cuban-cigars.com this morning, all I know is that their prices are slightly higher, that they claim they package things discreetly, that they guarantee delivery, and that they accept bitcoin. There are much fewer reviews that I can find online, does anybody have any experience with this vendor?

Blockchain: What Is It, How It Works, And What It Means For Big Data
In this new digital transformation era, blockchain comes hand-in-hand as one of the fastest growing technologies to help secure and protect data through cryptography. Learn more about blockchain, and what it means for big data.
What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a secure, shared, decentralized, distributed, immutable database that maintains a continuously growing list of records called blocks. Seebacher & Schüritz further describes the distributed database as a “shared among and agreed upon a peer-to-peer network. It consists of a linked sequence of blocks (a storage unit of transaction), holding timestamped transactions that are secured by public-key cryptography (i.e., “hash”) and verified by the network community. Once an element is appended to the blockchain, it cannot be altered, turning a blockchain into an immutable record of past activity.”
How Does Blockchain Work?
At the core of the blockchain technology is a distributed ledger with groups of transactions collected into a block. The block is validated by a third party (miner) and is locked. Each participant in the global network keeps a copy of the ledger and every time a new block is created, it is broadcasted to all the participants that add it to their local copy of the ledger. The process of “hashing” transforms assets which are encoded “tokens” and can be registered, tracked, and traded with a private key on a given blockchain. Transactions are validated in real-time, and contracts are created when the value is transferred and certain pre-configured business rules or algorithms are met. These are called Smart Contracts, and believed to one day replace the need for lawyers in the future.
Harvard Business Review compares Blockchain as one of the foundational technologies, akin to the computer networking technology (TCP/IP) of the 1970’s that laid the groundwork for the development of the internet. The most widely recognized use case, cryptocurrencies, was led by Bitcoin as the first application which used Blockchain for digital currency. Today, Blockchain as a distributed ledger technology, along with existing technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), etc. is set to revolutionize industries across the board, including financial institutions, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, oil and gas, and hospitality to name just a few. Any market, sector, or application that needs to securely exchange data in a decentralized format has a great argument for adopting Blockchain for their big data initiatives.
What Blockchain Means for Big Data
Blockchain’s storage of secure, trustless, authenticated, replicated, non-erasable sets of data (blocks) is a call-out to the world of Big Data. The ever-increasing store of transactional mining data in these distributed ledgers will overwhelm the current world capacity of data lakes. While Blockchain applications and use cases are still in its nascent stages, the potential for digital transformation is immense. As more real-world Blockchain applications are rolled out, Big Data is just going to get bigger.
According to IDC, worldwide revenues for big data and business analytics will grow from $130.1 billion in 2016 to more than $203 billion in 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. IDC further expects blockchain spending to grow rapidly throughout the 2017-2022 forecast period, with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 73.2 percent. Moreover, worldwide blockchain spending will reach $1.5 billion in 2018 – that’s double the amount spent on the emerging technology during 2017. Welcome to the next gold rush, the wild west of Big Data.

Finished traveling around the world ... on 1 Bitcoin
Hello BTC Redditors,
Just wanted to share a little announcement rather dear to me.
August of last year I left Portland, Oregon with a mission: see what BTC communities are like around the world...and make it happen with just 1 Bitcoin.
Finally made it :)
18 countries.
12 months.
1 BTC.
Bought it for $4,724 hard earned dollars. A month later in September I felt like a chump who bought a new car off the dealer's lot --- because BTC kept loosing value and sunk to $3,350. But I kept riding that rollercoaster.
In December the price hit $19k. Just a few days before Christmas too. I felt tempted to cash it all out right then and there, let me tell ya. But a few OG's I met in Hong Kong told me to keep saddled on that bucking Bronco -- feel the adrenaline of the ups and the heartbreak of the downs. So I stuck it through. Man, what a ride.
I put a little video together. Not super good at the editing, sorry. But here it is anyway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjacVPEaCW8
A few highlights:
+ Met Vitalik Buterin in Shenzhen, China. Wow. Closest I've ever come to meeting an extraterrestrial. I don't mean that in a bad way, either. The guy towered above me (I'm not that tall); he was lanky and gaunt; I could see him thinking about 12 different things while talking to me -- each of them far more important than the small-talk-chitchat he was having with me.
+ Met John McAfee in Singapore. What a character! Listen to this: I ask him what he thinks about the environmental impact of BTC mining (the hot topic at the time). He tells me "I'll keep MGT mining BTC until the last polar bear drowns."
+ Volunteered at a diving school in Palawan, Philippians. It was a workaway type of place. The guy running it, Thad, was doing great things -- teaching local kids how to become dive masters so they could earn a good living diving with tourists. Great dude. A little paranoid when talking about him and crypto, but wow, in it from the early days.
+ Myanmar (Burma). Holy damn. What a country. Incredible ancient ruins. Delicious food. And the friendliest people going through some of the toughest governmental financial bullshit. Corruption, wild inflation, demonetization. And people there would love to use BTC more often to free themselves financially (being part of the unbanked, after all) but they have some of the most fundamental difficulties: (1) shitty cellphone coverage and (2) rampant power outages.
+ Colmar, France. I met one of my hero's .... Anthony Bourdain. Talked to him about food, travel, Bitcoin. A week later. One week after shaking my hand....he took his life. I keep wishing I would have said something. The right thing. Maybe I could have made a difference.
+ Amsterdam. Used a bit of my almost-running-out-BTC to taste true wormwood Absinthe. I saw visions of Bitcoin absolutely crushing governmental fiat and putting Jamie Dimon and Charlie Munger on the streets! Haha no, I wish.
+ Finally made it! 1 BTC! Tonder, Denmark. Just across the border from Germany. I thought I'd make it to Copenhagen. I didn't -- but that's okay. It was a wild ride that opened my eyes in all sorts of ways. Sure I spent months and months sleeping on Couchsurfer's cots, eating the cheapest grocery store mark-down foods, and generally wishing I had cashed out in December --- but I would do it all over again, without cashing out either. Because being on such a strict budget forced me to meet people.
Often times we feel tempted to use money to avoid pains. If I traveled on a big budget I could have stayed in hotels. Instead I couchsurfed, met amazing hosts, and told them all about BTC -- which sharpened my own knowledge. If I was on a bigger budget I could have stuck around certain cities and gone to BTC meetup's only on their set dates. But being on a budget I had to reach out to meetup hosts and hope they'd make time to meet me, trade BTC for fiat, and perhaps even introduce me to their crypto friends -- and they did, every time, because the crypto community is awesome. Around the world I met absolute badass crypto OG's, movers-and-shakers, and newbies too. Learned something from everyone :)
I suppose my mission resulted in a resounding answer: crypto will set us free.
So cheers to a few specific cool cats out there as well as the community at large: Thank you.

Ranking the Privacy coins by anon-set - ZeroCoin protocol takes the cake!
EDIT Be aware, the moderators of r/cryptocurrency have SHADOW DELETED without cause the original thread. This is most likely at the request of the XMR community
This causes the post to appear to me, but to everyone else its been deleted. Now, why would they undertake such an underhanded tactic?
End EDIT
There's a lot of talk about anonymity and privacy as it relates to blockchains. And legacy coins like BTC and BCH that do not have privacy are more effected than those with it. Recently a report surfaced mentioning that cryptos are basically bad news for criminals: https://dailyhodl.com/2018/09/16/bitcoin-is-actually-a-money-laundering-tracking-device-that-catches-criminals-report/
TL;DR is at the bottom
Why? Because they're easy to track. Once they've got a single piece of identifying info that's linked to an address (say that coinbase transfer to an exchange) then all transactions are linkable to that id. But, privacy coins are different because they obscure this history (or in some cases 'delete' it all together). However, it can be a little difficult to decide which privacy coin offers the best privacy, along with the best combination of fees, security and usability.
So with no further ado, here is your simple guide to evaluating privacy coins! Like daily tx throughput is a key metric of btc/blockchain adoption and usage, privacy coins have their own 'key metric' to determine their ability to hide your tx history: the size of their anonymity set. This is basically the number of other people with which your transaction is plausibly 'mixed' so at to sever the link between your address and that coin. The greater this number is, the more difficult it is to associate a coin with your address, thus making it more private.
To make this easier to understand, it helps to know the following: All privacy coins do the same thing, just in vastly different ways. What is that thing? Obscuring/removing your linkage to a coin by mixing it with a similar coin denomination from another wallet. Monero is a slight exception to this, since transaction amounts are hidden in the blockchain as well, so there's no need for denominations. Also, your coin is mixed with fake coins that aren't real, instead of coins from other wallets, but no one can tell that from the blockchain so it works.
PIVX
In PIVX, for example, ~10-20% of all pivx held in wallets is 'gathered' by the accumulator (note it never leaves your control) in a central pool of zpiv using standard denominations like 10 zpiv, 1zpiv, .1zpiv etc. This is a configurable setting in the wallet so some may wish to turn it on/off at their discretion, but recent research has shown that 24% of all PIVX held in wallets is private/zpiv, see u/turtleflax's comment below.
After all of that, by using a zero-knowledge proof which cryptographically proves you owned whatever zpiv was minted from your wallet without any linking information to you, zpiv is 'sent' to your wallet and shows up with no transaction history. So the anonymity set is 10%, ~24% nowadays, of all PIVX held in wallets, which is obviously huge.
ZCoin
ZCoin and PIVX uses the same strategy as both implement the ZeroCoin protocol, which itself is just a specification, PIVX and ZCoin are implementations of that spec. Same idea with the denominations. PIVX's implementation is much more advanced however. ZCoin doesn't have an accumulator or anything and its privacy is optional.
However, its not possible to break a Zerocoin/ZCoin/PIVX transaction because there is nothing to break. It would be like trying to guess someone's password just by them logging in and proving they know their password and it works. That doesn't give you any information that would help. Furthermore, the total anonymity set is around 6.5% of the total supply which puts it comfortably in the same region as PIVX.
ZCash
ZCash is an implementation of the ZeroCash protocol which is an improvement on the ZeroCoin protocol. The cool thing about ZCash is that it also hides the amount of the transaction. ZCash's privacy is optional and the blockchain is split between t-addresses and z-addresses. t-addrs are transparent and contain visible balances just like Bitcoin, which ZCash is a software fork of. z-addrs are shielded. ZCash appears to have two kinds of shielded transactions (shielded and fully shielded).
I'm not sure of the difference between them, but according to this handy block explorer: https://explorer.zcha.in/statistics/usage, shielded txs are far more prevalent than fully shielded ones. The difference between them may be that fully shielded txs are transactions between two z-addrs while a tx that is 'just shielded' may be one between a z-addr and a t-addr and possibly a t-addr and a z-addr, but again, I'm not sure.
The developers claim that the anonymity set is very large in comparison to coins like Dash, and since it is based on the ZeroCoin protocol like PIVX and ZCoin, it is reasonable to assume its anon set is similarly large and based on a proportion of the supply, though where among the three it stands is of course up for debate/verification. Perhaps as large as the shielded value colume for any time period, also note that is a lower bound, so for the past month: 394989 ZEC would be the total shielded ZEC, so this seems a reasonable lower-bound on the Anon-set. Its hard to Tell between this and PIVX which is larger.
Dash
In Dash, it depends on how many rounds you mix. Each coin is once again broken down into standard denominations like 10, 1, .1 .01 Dash. Each round involves a minimum of three different wallets. So take the number of participants and raise it to the rounds you mix-th power, and that is your minimum anonymity set. So mixing four rounds gives you a minimum anonymity set of (3 participants)4 rounds = 81. Eight rounds gives you a min set of 38 = 6,561.
Could be more if more than three wallets were involved in any single mix, which is possible. However, it could be less if the same participants are used per round, which is unlikely. This is still a HUGE anonymity set; however, its probably at least an order of magnitude less than PIVX and ZCoin unless you were to get 4-5 wallets mixing per round. Still, even 81 could be rightly considered overkill, especially since considering the nature of privateSend and the random separation between 'minting' and spending makes Dash immune to timing analysis attacks. The determination of which coin to use will come down to your anonymity needs. How private do you need to be?
Monero
In Monero, the anonymity set is the number of mixins used at the time of your transaction. Which is currently 7. Monero originally had optional privacy where the min mixin was 0 and those transactions were transparent like btc's. However, having these 0 mixin transactions together with the higher mixin transactions allowed for higher ones to be deanoned, that and 3 forms of timing analysis attacks forced the min mixin to be raised to 3, then 5 and now 7.
TL;DR
So in short, if you want to rank privacy coins by their anon-set size (which is the only thing that matters) the list is as follows:
1. ZeroCoin and ZeroCash implementations: PIVX, ZCoin, ZCash
2. Dash
3. Monero
Note: Each tier represents a range of at least >1 order of magnitude greater anonymity set. So ZCoin, ZCash and PIVX are all grouped together, even though PIVX may have an anon-set 10-50x greater than ZCash or ZCoin (just an example, not a real figure), all three of them are still going to have anon sets 1-4 orders of magnitude greater than Dash, and like 6-7 greater than Monero. Monero's default min mixin is 7 and the max definable in the gui wallet IIRC is 26. Be aware however that using higher, rarer ring sizes causes your transaction to stick out.
Due to the nature of how they are selected, there are wide ranges for the anon sets of these coins, except for monero. But especially so for that of Dash, which may on occasion cross into the grey zone between numbers 1 and 2 due to uncertainty around the number of wallets participating, and the fact that an attacker will never know how many rounds a tx is going through.
And because Dash doesn't rely on encryption for its privacy, if you don't catch/trace the transaction when its happening, i.e. by buying up 70% or more of the masternodes, you can never deanon it. If you use encryption, especially for the entire blockchain, you paint a large target on your blockchain. If your encryption is ever broken, then all past transactions will be deanoned at once, so not good. This is a benefit of steganography over some encryption based privacy schemes. Edit:
Don't worry, my comments and posts are always heavily downvoted, that's how you know they're good stuff!
