Call to Cast: Cast. Gets Cheers. Get Paid.

The first Closed Qualifier for the Artifact Bitcoin League $2K BTC Main Event is coming up this weekend. I will cast it if I have to, but you will all regret it. To prevent mass riot, I am opening the casting up to the community!

Anyone with casting experience is welcome to cast. To sign up, say hi in the call-to-cast channel in Discord and post a link where people can find your work. If you don’t have casting experience, make a demo from one of our YouTube videos or your own video and post it in the call-to-cast channel.

From now until the end of the Main Event on Feb 3rd. All cheers on the Artifact Bitcoin League Twitch channel will be split 50/50 between casters and the prize pool. The more you cast and promote, the more bitties you can earn.

I hope this gives an opportunity for small time casters to make a few bucks while also giving T1 casters a chance to participate in a community event while preserving their fee structure for larger events. Also, if viwers cheer 2 bits then the grand prize winner will be a solid 8th place on Liquipedia for all time Artifact earners. Heh.

Big thanks to @ImpeduousPanda for discussing this idea with me a bit and offering to cast a few of the Main Event games! That is, of course, if he isn’t too busy winning the tournament or skiing. What a life.

Terms:

To get paid for casting a game, you must successfully cast that game. I will determine success. My bar is low, very low.

Payout will be distributed evenly to all casters according to number of games cast, regardless of fame, following, or importance of the match.

If you do something against Twitch TOS or generally considered dumb on air, you forfeit your earnings.

Caster payouts issued with cheer payout from Twitch (45-75 daysish? I don’t know, Twitch hasn't given me no money). If the caster payout is not that much, then I will just pay it out immediately.

I will cover the prize pool portion to pay out immediately upon end of tournament.

All payouts in BTC

[FS] [CONUS] ARF DateJust 36mm SH3135 blue

Reptime,

Another beautiful watch from ARF. Was my favorite to wear to weddings and special events. It was running well enough with I got it so I never opened this one up. Carefully sized to my wrist. Includes all links to the bracelet. Fit and finish is great. Date is fat but is easy enough to fix for a watchmaker if you can find a DW. I've had this for only a couple of months and it found its way into rotation sparingly - it's in great condition.

PRICE: $380

Payment paypal F+F (no notes) or bitcoin. I choose the buyer. CONUS only. If you're on RWI and you want to do the transaction under their umbrella that's fine by me - I can set up a sales thread for you. Any questions let me know.

The Best Bitcoin Hardware Wallets (2019 Edition)

This is a comprehensive guide on what we believe are currently the best wallets to store your Bitcoins safely and securely. There are both online (hot) and offline (cold) wallets but we advise users to choose offline wallets as they offer better protection overall to your private key. Offline cryptocurrency wallets include hardware wallets such as Ledger series wallets, Trezor, KeepKey and paper wallets too. Despite the safety that hardware wallets offer, users are tasked with keeping their private keys offline themselves which limits trading the BTC held in the wallet.

This article is for investors that wish to HODL their bitcoins and we’ll explore some of the best hardware wallets in the cryptocurrency market today. We dwell deeper into the features of these cryptocurrency hardware wallets, focusing on their advantages and disadvantages.

What to know before buying a bitcoin hardware wallet

Security – Hardware wallets are known as the best and most secure cryptocurrency wallets in the world. However, some hardware wallets offer better security properties than others.
Credibility – Before putting your coins in any wallet you should check the credibility of the wallet if it is a scam or not. Investors have lost money due to fake hardware cryptocurrency wallets and you don’t want to be one of them.
Price – Hardware wallets come at different prices, some far more expensive than others. These however have better features than the cheaper ones.
Reputation – It is important for one to go through several reviews to ascertain where it stands amongst other users in the community, just to be sure about what they’re committing themselves to.
Coin support – Hardware wallets allow storage of a number of coins but not all of them, make sure your selected cryptocurrency wallet supports Bitcoin.

The 5 best Bitcoin hardware wallets

1. Ledger Nano S

The Ledger Nano S hardware wallet

The Ledger Nano S is one of the most popular cryptocurrency hardware wallets today. The small USB-shaped like device comes with a screen to allow selection of coins. The Ledger, as it is popularly known as, offers a safe and secure option to key in your passphrase through the screen avoiding any online contact. The wallet supports Bitcoin, ETH, DASH, and other ERC20 tokens.

Key features of Ledger Nano S

Multiple cryptocurrencies support
A 24-word recovery phrase in case you lose your PIN.
Has a screen

Disadvantages of Ledger Nano S

Lacks custom passphrases.
No refunds to customers providing wrong addresses

2. Trezor cryptocurrency wallet

Trezor hardware wallet (Image: Trezor)

Trezor cryptocurrency wallet is widely regarded as one of the safest hardware wallets in the world. The wallet authenticates the transaction and sends an online note which is signed by the device solving a unique algorithm. This can only be done using the private key stored on the hardware wallet. The wallet is backed by a 24 word passphrase that can be added a 25th custom word to strengthen the security.

Trezor is widely preferred by Bitcoin holders for its small size and multi-currency support feature.

Key features of Trezor

Multi-currency support including BTC, ETH, LTC, ZRX and DASH.
Enhanced security using the 25-word passphrase with a custom word.

Disadvantages of Trezor

It is expensive.
Takes a relatively longer time to ship i.e. 5-7 business days.

3. KeepKey wallet

KeepKey official cryptocurrency wallet (Screenshot: KeepKey)

KeepKey is a cryptocurrency hardware wallet that was developed using Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) technology to safely store users’ private keys. The wallet has a 256 X 64 pixels OLED screen with an anodized aluminum case and a poly-carbonate front. Despite its high price, Keepkey offers better security measures and more cryptocurrency support including DASH, ETH and all ERC 20 compatible tokens.

Key features of KeepKey

The wallet has a 12-word passphrase to recover your account in case you lose the PIN.
Multi-currency support.
Compatible with Linux, Mac and Windows.

Disadvantages of Keepkey

The wallet is expensive.
Only available on Amazon and the official KeepKey website.

4. Ledger Blue

As a member of the Ledger series, Ledger Blue offers a high standard of security despite having a costly tag on it. The iPad shaped device starts at $300 USD per device. Due to the inflated price, most users prefer Ledger Nano S to it as they offer storage to the same number of coins.

Key features of the Ledger Blue

Applies unique modular architecture that allows for mate applications to function in seclusion on top of the original firmware.
Multi-currency support
Ledger Blue also allow the users to reset their passwords at any time.

Disadvantages of Ledger Blue

The device is bulky and heavy to carry around.
The expensive price tag does not match the features offered by the wallet.

5. Paper Wallets

Bitcoin paper wallet

This section has been dedicated to cryptocurrency hardware wallets hence the inclusion of paper wallets as a secure option to store your Bitcoins. Paper wallets refer to a paper that contains a private and public key to your BTC coins. The paper is printed from Bitcoin ATM’s as the only available copy and also contains the passphrase. Users should store the passphrase carefully in a different location in case you misplace the paper wallet.

There are websites that convert online wallets to paper wallets by copying keys and pasting them to a document that is then printed through one’s browser. Always delete the history of your browser afterwards or use incognito mode.

Advantages of Paper Wallets

Private keys are held by the user hence total control of your coins.
Paper wallets cannot be hacked.

Disadvantages of Paper Wallets

The paper wallet is easily misplaced.
Difficult to exchange, use or trade the paper cryptocurrency wallets.

Conclusion

The wallets mentioned above offer the user the best options to hold your coins in a safe manner. Always store significant amounts in a hardware wallet as online wallets can be hacked and your funds stolen. Passphrase words should be stored safely in case the hardware wallet is lost or misplaced.

[For Hire] Professional senior developer for blockchain, mobile/desktop/web application, using C++, Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL

I have been professionally programmed for more than 18 years and have worked in several large global gaming companies for more than 12 years (I can give you my Linkedin if we can cooperate). And I created several open source projects.

Looking for professional high quality development with moderated cost? Contact me.

I can do

Cryptocurrency and blockchain related technologies.
Develop applications, utility tools, games for desktop (Windows, Linux) and mobile.
Develop web front and back end using PHP, Laravel, MySQL, HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap.

My portfolio

I created eventpp library. It's a C++ library for event dispatcher and callback list.
I created cpgf library. It's a very complicated open source cross platform C++ library that adds reflection, serialization and script binding to standard C++.
I created Gincu library. It's an open source 2D cross platform game engine written in C++ and cpgf.
I created Jincu library. It's an open source 2D game engine and framework written in JavaScript ES6.

My technology stack

Cross platform C++ (very experienced), Boost, Qt5, wxWidget, etc.
Python 2/3
PHP (Laravel, Slim, RESTful), MySQL, JavaScript (jQuery, ES6, ReactJs, Bootstrap, Semantic UI)
Java, C#
Perl

My advantages

I am very experienced and professional. I have been developing software and games since 2000 and have been learning C + + since 1995.
I only do professional work and pursuit of very high quality products and code. You can check my open source projects to see the quality.
I am honest and responsible. I keep my promise.

Communication methods I prefer to

I prefer communicating via Skype, Discord, or other IM tools, or email, preferably texting. I can speak English but it‘s less effective than writing.

Payment methods

TransferWise is preferred.
I accept Paypal, you need to pay 4.5% transaction fee.
Bitcoin is acceptable but not preferred, and I require 10% premium to avoid any market crash.
For fixed price project, I prefer 50% upfront, 50% after I finish the project and before I send you the final product/code. Negotiable.

Where am I

I work remotely. I live in Beijing, China, GMT+8.

My fee and rate

The fee varies depending on the project type and the technology, and negotiable.

You get more than what you pay for

If you are looking for high quality development and don't want to waste your time and money, contact me, you will get very good results for your money.

Have you ever wondering what will happen when bitcoin hits 21M cap? Well, you are not alone. There have been a lot of speculations and rumors that flow around bitcoin including when it reaches its limit. When Bitcoin first came into the limelight, it was defined as a cryptocurrency that would not require any centralized party to work. That’s still true hold. It also came with a limited supply, i.e., 21 million coins.

If you go to coinmarketcap.com, you will be able to verify the information. The website lists max supply as 21 million. Right now, the circulating supply of bitcoin is 17.4 million. Just like how precious metals on earth are finite, so is the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Limiting the max supply was necessary as, without it, the value of bitcoin would never shore to new heights.

So, what will happen when bitcoin reaches 21 million caps? Before we try to tackle the question, let’s try to learn how bitcoin and miners work.

How Bitcoin Works

Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that has its blockchain. It is a shared public ledger where bitcoin act as the fuel. When a user sends any amount of bitcoin to a receiver, a transaction is created. This transaction will then be broadcasted to the network, where each peer stores a copy of it in the database. For the transaction to be successful, it needs to be mined into a block.

Blockchain uses a distributed consensus system which relies on Proof-of-Work(PoW). It also means that transactions are added chronologically. Once the block is mined, the transactions are successfully confirmed on the network. However, miners need to spend computation power to confirm a transaction. This leads us to our next question, what is bitcoin mining?

Bitcoin Mining

Bitcoin mining is the process of confirming or adding the transactions to the bitcoin ledger. The ledger is composed of blocks, and each block consists of multiple transactions. The whole process of adding transactions to blockchain is known as bitcoin mining. However, it does have its own computation power requirement. Each miner needs to have computers that can process the computation difficulty associated with the block. The consensus algorithm that oversees the whole process is known as Proof-of-Work(PoW). It is effective in ensuring the proper working of the blockchain but is not energy efficient. If you want to know more about bitcoin mining, we recommend reading bitcoinmining.com

What happens when bitcoin reaches 21 million coins?

Now that we have a basic understanding of bitcoin and bitcoin mining, we are now ready to answer the question.

Effect On Bitcoin Miners

With time, the blockchain block size and mining difficulty will increase. This will directly affect the miners. It also means that once the 21 million coins limit is reached, bitcoin miners will not be able to mine any more bitcoin. When this happens, they need to rely heavily on the transaction fees only. These fees will be their only source for maintaining operations. This leads us to an interesting question. Will their operations be unprofitable? After all, they will not be getting any block mining award. We can always argue that the bitcoin mining will decrease as miners will not mine bitcoin, and move to other cryptocurrencies. This can lead to a centralized network and other adverse effects. However, they can make a profit considering that the price of bitcoin is extremely high.

Bitcoin Price

Bitcoin price could see a substantial increase if all the 21 million coins are mined. This is an obvious result of limited supply, and when there is no more bitcoin to mine, people will value it more compared to now. However, that’s just a possibility.

According to Cointelegraph, we will not be able to witness the event of the last bitcoin being mined. According to their calculations, it will take until 2140 before the cap hits. Its 121 years from now. There is no way we can predict or learn how bitcoin will be treated. Will it stay the king or other cryptocurrencies will take its place? That’s a compelling question as it puts an interesting take on the relevance of bitcoin. There is no way, anyone can know. But, if it fails to live that long, we can safely say that the prices won’t reach that high as speculated.

The market demand and sentiment can only determine the bitcoin price at that moment. However, if you ask us, we would bet that bitcoin price will increase substantially.

What happens until we reach there?

There is still more than 100 years before the bitcoin cap hits. That’s a lot of time and it is hard to speculate how bitcoin will go forward from here. We have already seen a rollercoaster ride for bitcoin and there is no doubt that it is becoming hard to mine bitcoin as time goes. Without miners, it would not be possible to run the bitcoin blockchain.

The transactions fees have also not been kind to the miners as the change to the protocol reduced the transaction fees to normal. This happened just after the Segwit which solved two significant issues with bitcoin, it’s scalability and transaction cost. The solution was the removal of the non-signature data, resulting in the reduced block size. Not only that, but Segwit also opened the path to lightning network integration.

The lightning network aims to offload the load from the main blockchain and further reduce lightning network. Overall, the future of bitcoin miners doesn’t look bright when the cap hits. Just like any other systems, there should be a proper incentive for bitcoin miners to continue. If there is no proper incentive, we will surely see a drop in bitcoin miners. However, it is too early to worry as the bitcoin 21M cap is still 100 years away. By then, we hope that the bitcoin core developers fix the problem and create a stabilized incentive for bitcoin miners to continue.

Dream Market Guide for New Users

Introduction

Dream Market is a feature rich escrow marketplace supporting the Bitcoin currency and the Tor network. The market has been operating for 5 years now and has been proven to be reliable and secure.

You might find products which are not available legally in your country. This is because the idea of this market place is to support the free market and does not follow local regulation restrictions. If you find a product which is not legal in your country you have to make up your mind for yourself if you should order the product and use it with caution, as sometimes this regulation restrictions do not come from nothing.

How do I make a new Dream Market account?

Please open the following invite link in Tor Browser to register a new account -- http://lchudifyeqm4ldjj.onion/?ai=200915

And then click the "Register" button on the upper right.

What are Dream Market's official links?

Main Market Link: lchudifyeqm4ldjj.onion

Mirror Links:

Forum Link: tmskhzavkycdupbr.onion

The mirror links are to be used if the main site is unreachable or slow from DDOS attacks or unforeseen circumstances.

Buyers guideline

First of all all members are kindly asked to be honest regarding package delivery, product quality and shipping conditions. This helps maintaining a trusted network, which is a major basis in hidden web marketplaces. Scammers are not tolerated and are quickly identified as such. As a buyer you can look out for a "trusted vendor" label. Vendors with this label have an advanced trusted status, which means they have proven to be trustworthy and they have a long history of successful transactions and positive buyer relations. Vendors without the trusted vendor status are most likely trustworthy too, but they are either new on this market or they did not apply for a trusted vendor status on this site.

Secure your account
Do not use the same password on other sites, especially not other markets
Change your password regularly
Use a strong password
Verify you are not on a phishing site and you have never been on a phishing site. Elsewise change your password after you created your account or after you logged in.

Bitcoin usage

In order to be able to do purchases you have to use tor and bitcoins to use this site. You will see your bitcoin deposit immediately after you have send bitcoins to your Dream Market wallet address. For safety reasons the final bitcoin deposit confirmation will take about 30 minutes in average (3 confirmations), this is due to the bitcoin internal workings.

Here is a good tutorial about how to use Bitcoins: Getting started with Bitcoin

Protect yourself with PGP

To protect yourself you should prefer secure encrypted messaging with PGP. Especially when you leave your postal address you are encouraged to encrypt those information. Dream Market supports automatic encryption of your messages. All vendors support PGP and have specified a public PGP key on their profile. If you encrypt messages using their public key you can be sure that only the vendor can read you message and your postal address is safe from leakage to any organization, including Dream Market.

There are guides and tutorials about how to use PGP which you can find online.

Linux is the most secure operating system of these 3 listed operating systems from above, because Microsoft and Apple cannot be fully trusted and whose source code is not open source.

Escrow protection

Escrow is a safe method to order online and is used almost everywhere. When you order a product with the escrow method then the money is not directly transfered to the vendor after the checkout process, but it is locked. When you receive the package you finalize the order from you shopping cart page. With this step the vendor is paid.

Order process

After your bitcoin deposit has been confirmed you can order the desired product if your balance is not too low. The vendor will receive the order information instantly, no further action is required. However the vendor needs to be online to view the new order.

While you have open orders which have not yet been finalized you are required to check your messagebox regularly in case the vendor has open questions.

After you have received the package you have to finalize the order. With this step the escrow is released and the vendor is paid. Please leave adequate feedback and rating stars when finalizing the order. You can update the feedback and rating stars after you have finalized. When leaving feedback for an order you should only give negative feedback after you have contacted the vendor to give him a chance of resolving the issues.

In case of problems

If you do not receive the order after an adequate time you have the possibility to open a dispute. Please contact the vendor first before you open a dispute. Please be honest when you open a dispute, do not open a dispute if you have received the package. You will find the dispute link from your order detail page, which is linked in your cart view.

Vendors guideline

Vendor application

Registration as vendor requires a deposit of vendor bond, which is paid back when the vendor revokes his vendor status. Application for vendor status can be done with this link.

Forbidden products and services:

Assassinations or any other services which constitute doing harm to another.
Weapons of mass destruction: chemical, biological, explosives, etc.
Weapons.
Poisons.
Child pornography.
Live action snuff/hurt/murder audio/video/images.
Listing products

You can list products after you have applied for vendor status. Products are listed in the market after your vendor application has been approved. To add a product go to the "Manage Offers" page and click "Add offer". Product images should have the correct vendor name and date in it. One product can have multiple images.

Requesting FE (Finalize Early)

Asking customers for finalizing early is only allowed for verified vendors. Asking for finalize early should not be done without permission from support. Doing otherwise may result in suspended vendor account.

General vendor rules to comply with
No self-rating
Do not ask for FE for escrow offers
Do not have order too long in status accepted
No direct deals
