🔥ETC Labs Launches Incubator Pilot Program to Support Ethereum Classic Based Startups

🔥 bitseven - In a recent interview, the Program Director at ETC Labs talks about the intent behind the incubator program and the future growth plans.

An Incubator Based in San Francisco

ETC (Ethereum Classic) Labs earlier this week published an interview with Elizabeth Kukka, Program Director at ETC Labs, on its official Medium blog. Kukka talks about her contribution to ETC Labs, the pilot program, future growth plans, and her thoughts on the ETC blockchain.
ETC labs is a start-up incubator established by a group of entrepreneurs and technologists to help accelerate innovative projects on the Ethereum Classic blockchain. The program aims to provide budding entrepreneurs with office space, advice, support, and access to a community of peers with a mission to grow the ETC eco-system.
Ethereum Classic is the original version of the Ethereum blockchain. The blockchain was forked in 2016 to recover the $50 million worth of coins that were siphoned off from the funds collected during the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organisation) ICO. A part of the community that did not favor the hard fork continued to support the original protocol now called ETC.

Great Opportunity for ETC Based Projects

In response to a question about details of the pilot program, Kukka explained that the goal is to put the incubator model to work and gather feedback from the initial projects before going live in the first quarter of 2019.
She shared:
Our pilot program started on October 1st; we invited six companies to join us. Currently, these pilot projects get free working space, great coffee ;), and the opportunity to work alongside some of the best minds in the business. They will also have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a roomful of investors at our launch event on October 25th.
The program has received 120 applications so far and projects that leverage the ETC blockchain would be considered.
Answering why the program is focused on Ethereum Classic, Kukka responded:
Ethereum Classic because there is a lot of security on the main layer, and it doesn’t really matter what sidechains are used in conjunction to this. Also, the Ethereum Classic space is very competitive, with a lot of good ideas and startups with immense potential for growth.

Future Plans of the Program

ETC Labs plans to support 20-24 projects every year out of which half would be engaged with, at a time. Elaborating on the criteria that the program would evaluate the applicants on, Kukka said,” We look at the technical capabilities of the team and their ability to build on the ETC blockchain. Of course, great ideas and a motivated team are important too.”
Kukka encourages start-ups with great ideas to get in touch with ETC Labs. Projects will gain access to not only some great coffee and free working space but also to the opportunity for one-on-one guidance from industry leaders and technical mentors.
She adds:
We’ll have regular boot camp sessions with general blockchain training and how to build on ETC specifically. We also plan to host weekly meetups and monthly dinners. The weekly meetups will mostly be structured workshops with speeches by industry leaders from all sorts of different backgrounds.
ETC Labs appears to be an attempt by the believers in the original version of the Ethereum blockchain to push for growth of the community. For bootstrapped start-ups, the program provides an excellent opportunity to build upon their ideas and get access to the required support system.

CRYPTO AUTOTRADING PLATFORM & SIGNALS WITH LUCRE TOKEN (LCR)

https://i.redd.it/h9rruy68b6s11.png

LUCRE is an automated algorithmic trading system based on statistical analysis of data from last 5 years (for BTCUSD). Automated trading, allow to establish specific rules for both trade entries and exits that, once programmed, can be automatically executed via a computer. Once the rules have been established, the algorithm monitors the markets to find buy or sell opportunities based on the trading strategy specifications. Depending on the specific rules, as soon as a trade is entered, any orders for protective stop losses, trailing stops and profit targets will automatically be generated. In fast moving markets, this instantaneous order entry can mean the difference between a small loss and a catastrophic loss in the event the trade moves against the trader. There is a long list of advantages to having a computer monitor the markets for trading opportunities and execute the trades. Some of the advantages are listed below:

Minimize Emotions - Automated trading systems minimize emotions throughout the trading process. Since trade orders are executed automatically once the trade rules have been met, traders will not be able to hesitate or question the trade. In addition to helping traders who are afraid to "pull the trigger", automated trading can curb those who are apt to overtrade – buying and selling at every perceived opportunity.
Ability to Backtest - Backtesting applies trading rules to historical market data to determine the viability of the idea. Careful backtesting allows to evaluate and fine-tune a trading idea, and to determine the system's expectancy – the average amount that a trader can expect to win (or lose) per unit of risk.
Preserve Discipline - Because the trade rules are established and trade execution is performed automatically, discipline is preserved even in volatile markets.
Achieve Consistency - One of the biggest challenges in trading is to plan the trade and trade the plan. Even if a trading plan has the potential to be profitable, traders who ignore the rules are altering any expectancy the system would have had.
Improved Order Entry Speed - Since computers respond immediately to changing market conditions, automated systems are able to generate orders as soon as trade criteria are met. Getting in or out of a trade a few seconds earlier can make a big difference in the trade's outcome. As soon as a position is entered, all other orders are automatically generated, including protective stop losses and profit targets.
24X7 Market - as Crypto market is open 24X7 it is almost humanly impossible to trade every entry signal round the clock manually.

Lucre Algorithmic Trading Platform for Cryptocurrencies

LUCRE is an exclusive automated trading system for Cryptocurrencies, created to outperform the strategy of just holding Cryptocurrencies. It is developed by a team with 8 years of algorithmic trading experience. Holding a Cryptocurrency hasn’t been the best way to increase your wealth lately. LUCRE algorithm was build on a philosophy - Don’t HODL; Trade! allowing trading both ways long and short. The great appeal of this project is the ability to generate revenues in all market conditions, buying and selling at every perceived opportunity. Even when the market is going south the algorithm attempts to make profit by shorting it. Lucre Trading Algo will be running on a Metatrader trading platform. Token sale participants will get an LCR token which will track the performance of the Algo. The price will be updated regularly to accurately reflect the value of the underlying Crypto assets being traded by the Algo. A participant can trade on the exchanges which will list the LCR token. LCR token will only be sold during the pre sale and Token sale main event. No further tokens will be minted post Token

Getting Started with BTCPay Server - Free and Open Source Bitcoin and Lightning Network payment processor

This post is a sequel to my earlier Merchant's Guide and the Ultimate Guide to BTCPay. Since then, the software has matured, it's more feature-rich, light-weight and easier to install with plenty of documentation and video tutorials available.

What is BTCPay Server?

BTCPay Server is a free and open-source cryptocurrency payment processor which allows you to receive payments in Bitcoin (on-chain and via the Lightning Network) and supported altcoins, directly to your wallet without fees, transaction cost or a middleman via your own full node.

Think of it as a non-custodial invoicing system which eliminates the third-party. The private keys are never uploaded to the server. There is no address re-use since each invoice generates a new address deriving from your xpubkey. That means increased privacy, security, and censorship-resistance. It's a tool for self-sovereign businesses, organizations or even individuals.

Who can use BTCPay?

Merchants with an online or a physical store (connect your store to your BTCPay with one of many integrations or use a Point of Sale app)
Charities, organizations or content creators (receive donations via POS app or payment button)
Users who want to deploy Lightning Network node easily
Users who want to become payment processors for their friends or local community
Exchanges which want to integrate with BTCPay and allow merchants to receive fiat payments
Hosting providers which want to offer 1-click deployment to customers
Developers who want to help and learn

Why a business should run a full node?

Read this article

BTCPay vs other payment processors

The most significant advantage of BTCPay over other processors is that it is entirely free and open-source, non-custodial software, created by the community. While most of the other processors hold your Bitcoins, BTCPay allows you to receive payments P2P, directly to your software or hardware wallet.

BTCPay is a self-hosted software. This means that you are your own payment processor. There are no subscriptions, no transaction fees. There's no third-party involvement which significantly increases the censorship-resistance, privacy, and security for you and your customers. Furthermore, BTCPay enables you to become a processor, which means you can charge for registration of your local merchants, or provide a free service to help spread the adoption.

How to deploy BTCPay Server?

The easiest way is to use a web-wizard deployment and launch your BTCPay, Full Bitcoin and LND node in under a minute. Please visit this page for more deployment methods.

How much does it cost to run BTCPay Server?

BTCPay is a 100% free software. You can run it as a self-hosted solution on your local server, or use a hosting provider, which is what a majority of users do. Additionally, you can use a third-party BTCPay host and attach your store to it.

If you choose to host it externally, the price depends on the hosting provider. Be sure to choose a VPS which meets the minimal requirements.

The low-priced VPS servers tested by the community start at around 8.8$/month.

E-commerce Integrations

Is there a list of merchants using BTCPay?

BTCPay is decentralized, non-custodial service, so we don't really have a way of keeping a track on the number of users. However, some community members try to keep a list of BTCPay stores.

I don't have a store, how can I create one?

Follow this step by step guide and build your first online store from scratch.

BTCPay Demo?

How can I contribute to BTCPay?

The easiest way is to use the software for your business, provide feedback and report any bugs or issues you or your customers encounter.

Translating BTCPay, helping us with documentation are also ways in which you can help, even if you're not a developer or tech-savvy.

We need more VPS hosting providers to implement 1-Click BTCPay deployment and make BTCPay widely-available.

We are actively looking for developers who can take on and resolve GitHub issues and help with development.

We appreciate each and every contributor to the project and support we get from the community here.

Have a question about BTCPay Server? Feel free to ask in the comments.

How best to proceed from here and keep up with the project??

I wished my best friend had been more careful... [Part 1]

Daniel has been missing for 2 weeks now, the people who have him want £23,000 in bitcoin if we want to see him again...

I'm posting here through one of my old botnets in an attempt to avoid being found by this group of people. They call themselves 'The Winning Cause'. I'm quite lost as to what to do now; the police wont help, so i'm writing to you reddit as i know people have found their solutions on here before.

Let me explain the events that have taken place over these two weeks:

Daniel and I are both the tech-savvy geeks at our school, whether it was programming or seeing if your partner is cheating by hacking their snapchat, we were the people to call. Often our head-mistress would ask for help when she'd forgotten her password!

But enough patting myself and Dan on the back, the main point is we got bored of doing the same mundane things everday, so we turned to the deep web...

Now before you dismiss this as one of the ordinary deep web stories where someone/group of people go on it and get doxxed. We knew what we were doing and had been given several warnings from people on other forums we went on. It wasn't our skill that let us down. It was Dan's tendency to gloat.

Contrary to what I described earlier about Daniel and I hacking for other people, we are usually ethical about what we do, heck we even helped companies on bugcrowd! That's why we decided we would go looking for red-rooms and other places which would make the average Joe lose faith in humanity.

And no we didn't go there to watch these things. We went around either: attempting to take the website down, tracking the people who ran them, or feeding info back to the police. Despite popular belief, the people behind these websites may be dangerous, but do not put the effort into making their websites secure. They just care about the revenue.

However Daniel made it a routine of posting about dark-net sites we'd taken down every week after we had managed to remove one, despite my warnings to him, he did however agree to keep my name out of it, which is why now he's the one who's been kidnapped and not me...

We had found a seemingly boring looking forum called 'The Winning Cause' and I quickly realised that this forum page was a front for the real thing, I let Daniel do his thing and he found a login page.

As soon as he did a messagebox showed up in the bottom right corner of the page, it asked "Are you sure you're in the right place", we both glanced at each other as we had never encountered something like this before. There were only two options. Yes. and No.

Curiosity getting the better of us we clicked and it was a directory of links to streams where people were being slaughtered, some had videos dismembered limbs with blood seeping out of various cuts whilst some had people being shocked with a jumper cable. It was sickening, we quickly realized that people were paying bitcoin to see these streams.

I had setup a crawler to find links between different bitcoin addresses and would also see if the private key was listed anywhere on the dark-net, a lot of the groups we'd come across would list them somewhere in an admin section.

Sure enough these guys were the same, we took $23,0000 from these guys in total and gave links to their websites to the police. Daniel sure enough bragged about it the next week in his blog but I wasn't even bothered, I was just glad we took these guys down.

However some time after that, Daniel called me asking whether I had changed his social media password's (we had each other's passwords as we would routinely use our accounts to practice hacking), I told him I hadn't, he then told me that he was going to get a reset email for it and I told him that I'd check my account just in case.

I put the phone down and went through all of my accounts when I heard Daniel scream down the phone "THEY FOUND US, THEY FUCKING FOUND US, OH SHIT, OH SHIT...", at this point I'd almost forgotten about 'The Winning Cause' until he told me just then.

I was right, I was fucking right, he never should've bragged about it, the reset email he'd requested never showed up in his inbox, when he went to check his email, his inbox was filled with emails saying "You shouldn't have taken our money! We will win, We will prevail!".

I told him not to stress about it too much even though I myself was panicking as well, he told me that they were going to give him one chance to pay back all the money we took within the next hour, there was only one problem...

We kept all the bitcoin private key's that we had on an encrypted flash drive and Daniel keeps that usb at his dad's house. He wasn't due to see his Dad until tomorrow. I told him that he could just get it tomorrow and send the payment straight away and that with luck they'll accept the money and fuck off. I couldn't have been more wrong...

I went to his house the next day to see whether he'd send the payment. I knocked on his door and his dad answered. He had tears sreaming down his face, "Richard... have you seen Daniel", my heart dropped, no way did they kidnap him.

"No, I thought he'd be here", "He isn't, but there's some weird writing on the wall of his room written in red. I've already called the police but you need to see this.", I went up to his room with his dad expecting the worst...

In his room, it said "Never make us wait! The Winning Cause will prevail!" and beneath it was a piece of paper with writing, it was a bitcoin address and the words "It seems your friend spent the money, you have a month to earn it and send it to us, or else!"

The police didn't find any DNA in the room apart from Daniel's family's and mine, they said they were going to open a search but I knew that this was beyond the police. Reddit, I need your help...

/r/Monero Daily Discussion – October 14, 2018 - Use this thread for basic questions and if you're new to Monero

Index

General questions
Wallet: CLI & GUI
Wallet: Ledger
Nodes

1. General questions

Where can I download the Monero wallet?

There are multiple Monero wallets for a wide range of devices at your disposal. Check the table below for details and download links. All wallets listed below are open source. Attention: for extra security make sure to calculate and compare the checksum of your downloaded files.

Desktop wallets

Wallet	Device	Description	Download link
"Official" GUI / CLI	Windows, Mac OS X, Linux	The default implementation that is maintained by the core team. Use this one to run a full node and obtain maximum privacy.Has Ledger (hardware wallet) integration. Current version: 0.12.3.0.	GetMonero.org
MyMonero	Windows, Mac OS X, Linux	MyMonero is a lightweight wallet, which means you don't need to download the blockchain and run a node. MyMonero was developed with the assistance of the core team. They also have web-based and iOS versions.	GitHub

Mobile wallets

Wallet	Device	Description	Download link
Monerujo	Android	Popular Android lightweight wallet that has very cool features, like integration with xmr.to which lets you send payments in BTC using your XMR. It also has Ledger (hardware wallet) integration. Website: https://www.monerujo.io/.	Google Play / F-Droid / GitHub
MyMonero	iOS	iOS version of the MyMonero wallet. All versions have interoperability.	App Store
Cake Wallet	iOS	Popular iOS lightweight wallet that has integration with MorphToken, which means you can instantly exchange your XMR to other coins and tokens. Website: https://cakewallet.io/	App Store
X Wallet	iOS	Another iOS lightweight wallet. Website: https://xwallet.tech/	App Store
Edge Wallet	Android / iOS	This is a multi-assets wallet, meaning you can store Monero, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other tokens in one single app. https://edge.app/ ⚠️ Relatively new - use with caution! ⚠️	Google Play / App Store

Web-based wallets

Wallet	Description	Link
MyMonero	Web version of the MyMonero wallet. All versions have interoperability.	Web
XMRWallet	Web wallet with TOR support. ⚠️ Relatively new - use with caution! ⚠️	Web / Onion URL

How long does it take for my balance to unlock?

Your balance is unlocked after 10 confirmations (which means 10 mined blocks). A block is mined approximately every two minutes on the Monero network, so that would be around 20 minutes.

How can I prove that I sent a payment?

The fastest and most direct way is by using the ExploreMonero blockchain explorer. You will need to recover the transaction key from your wallet (complete guide for GUI / CLI).

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with Bitcoin (BTC)?

There are dozens of exchanges that trade Monero against Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Check out the list on CoinMarketCap and choose the option that suits you best.

How do I buy Monero (XMR) with fiat?

Kraken (USD and EUR): old-school, decent exchange. They might require your documents for verification and approval of your account.
LocalMonero: peer-to-peer exchange. They have pretty much everything as a payment method and they support hundreds of fiat options.

How do I mine Monero? And other mining questions.

The correct place to ask questions and discuss the Monero mining scene is in the dedicated subreddit r/MoneroMining. That being said, you can find a list of pools and available mining software in the GetMonero.org website.

2. Wallet: CLI & GUI

Why I can't see my balance? Where is my XMR?

Before any action there are two things to check:

Are you using the latest available version of the wallet? A new version is released roughly every 6 months, so make sure you're using the current release (compare the release on GetMonero.org with your wallet's version on Settings, under Debug info).
Is your wallet fully synchronized? If it isn't, wait the sync to complete.

Because Monero is different from Bitcoin, wallet synchronization is not instant. The software needs to synchronize the blockchain and use your private keys to identify your transactions. Check in the lower left corner (GUI) if the wallet is synchronized.

You can't send transactions and your balance might be wrong or unavailable if the wallet is not synced with the network. So please wait.

If this is not a sufficient answer for your case and you're looking for more information, please see this answer on StackExchange.

How do I upgrade my wallet to the newest version?

This answer is beautifully answered on StackExchange.

Why does it take so long to sync the wallet [for the first time]?

You have decided to use Monero's wallet and run a local node. Congratulations! You have chosen the safest and most secure option for your privacy, but unfortunately this has an initial cost. The first reason for the slowness is that you will need to download the entire blockchain, which is considerably heavy (+60 GB) and constantly growing. There are technologies being implemented in Monero to slow this growth, however it is inevitable to make this initial download to run a full node. Consider syncing to a device that has an SSD instead of an HDD, as this greatly impacts the speed of synchronization.

Now that the blockchain is on your computer, the next time you run the wallet you only need to download new blocks, which should take seconds or minutes (depending on how often you use the wallet).

I don't want to download the blockchain, how can I skip that?

The way to skip downloading the blockchain is connecting your wallet to a public remote node. You can follow this guide on how to set it up. You can find a list of public remote nodes on MoneroWorld.

Be advised that when using a public remote node you lose some of your privacy. A public remote node is able to identify your IP and opens up a range for certain attacks that further diminish your privacy. A remote node can't see your balance and it can't spend your XMR.

How do I restore my wallet from the mnemonic seed or from the keys?

To restore your wallet with the 25 word mnemonic seed, please see this guide.

To restore your wallet with your keys, please see this guide.

3. Wallet: Ledger

How do I generate a Ledger Monero Wallet with the GUI or CLI?

This answer is beautifully answered on StackExchange. Check this page for the GUI instructions, and this page for the CLI instructions.

4. Nodes

How can I my local node become a public remote node?

If you want to support other Monero users by making your node public, you can follow the instructions on MoneroWorld, under the section "How To Include Your Node On Moneroworld".

How can I connect my node via Tor?
