If you haven’t been reading the stories about Bitfinex and the allegations of BTC price manipulation I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe everything is on the up-and-up. But if Tether explodes it may became glaringly obvious how they are connected. [This article]1 is a pretty good overview of the situation today.

If those guys are printing coins for free, and then using them as if they are worth $1 each to buy BTC then that’s a lot of demand pushing price up. If tether collapse and that demand goes away (and also a lot of BTC moves to cover losses) that could be a near apocalyptic event for BTC.

CypherPoker.JS Guide: Setting Up A Private Home Game

Hi everyone,

I've finally put together the first CypherPoker.JS guide that describes how to set up the Services Server (i.e. how to run your own private / home game).

I know that it looks long but most of the content consists of screencaps and much of those simply describe what to look for (as opposed to illustrating how to do something).

I've tried to make it as non-technical and simple as possible but that's from my own skewed perspective so I would greatly appreciate your feedback to help me improve this and future guides:

  • Is something not clear or not fully explained?
  • Did you encounter a problem or gotten stuck?
  • Was something too complex or convoluted (i.e. could it have been explained more succinctly)?
  • Were you expecting something based on a header/title that turned out to be something different?

Here's the guide, as found on the CypherPoker.JS wiki: https://github.com/monicanagent/cypherpoker.js/wiki/Setting-up-a-private-home-game

This document will guide you through the process of setting up the CypherPoker.JS Services Server to host private home games.

1. Download and unzip the CypherPoker.JS Windows binary

https://i.redd.it/g5b7eqacbkc31.png

  • Scroll down to the latest / newest release and download the .zip file ...

https://i.redd.it/98s0b24gbkc31.png

... to your desktop.

https://i.redd.it/oujs2etjbkc31.png

  • Find the downloaded file on your desktop and unzip it.

https://i.redd.it/1vyam2upbkc31.png

2. Make sure that blockchain functionality is enabled

  • Find the server folder inside the unzipped files. The full path is: ...\Desktop\CypherPokerJS_win64_0.5.1\CypherPokerJS\resources\app\server

https://i.redd.it/ek2piibtbkc31.png

  • Using your favourite text editor (e.g. Notepad, Atom, etc.), open the config.json file in the server folder.

https://i.redd.it/q65fn89wbkc31.png

  • Scroll down to the handlers section and make sure that the "Blockstream API Bitcoin Handler" and "Bitcoin.com API Bitcoin Cash Handler" are enabled ("enabled": true).
    • The "CryptoAPIs Bitcoin Cash Handler". "BlockCypher API Cryptocurrency Handler", "Native Bitcoin Core (bitcoind) Handler", and "Native Bitcoin Cash (bitcoind) Handler" handlers should be disabled ("enabled": false).

https://i.redd.it/cxxehz5zbkc31.png

3. Configure the HD wallets

  • Now scroll down to the wallets section. Note the bitcoin, test3, bitcoincash, and bchtest sections; these contain HD wallet information for Bitcoin, Bitcoin testnet (test3), Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin Cash testnet respectively. We will update these in the next step.

https://i.redd.it/wxyzz513ckc31.png

https://i.redd.it/n544bib6ckc31.png

  • For extra security it's recommended that you disconnect from any network you're connected to and generate new wallets by clicking the GENERATE NEW WALLETS button at the bottom of the page. MAKE SURE TO SAVE THIS INFORMATION TO A SECURE LOCATION! With these keys CypherPoker.JS can re-create all deposit addresses and associated accounts; without it, any deposits may be lost (inaccessible) forever. Seriously ... back it up now!

https://i.redd.it/vky333dbckc31.png

  • Now replace each "xprv" and "tprv" values in the config.json file's wallets section with ones generated using the HD Wallet generator.
    • Make sure that you're updating both the correct cryptocurrency as well as its associated network (mainnet or testnet). Recall that "bitcoin" is the Bitcoin mainnet, "test3" is the Bitcoin testnet, "bitcoincash" is the Bitcoin Cash mainnet, and "bchtest" is the Bitcoin Cash testnet.
    • Also make sure that the "xprv..." and "tprv..." values are surrounded by quotes.

https://i.redd.it/ba9os00eckc31.png

4. Configure the Services fees

  • Scroll farther down the config.json file to the bitcoin and bitcoincash sections. Each contains a sub-section named defaults where you'll find a main (mainnet) and test3 or test section (testnet). Here you can specify both the minerFee and the depositfee for each cryptocurrency and their sub-types (networks).
    • Note that each fee is in satoshis and must be enclosed in quotes.

https://i.redd.it/67jroiuickc31.png

https://i.redd.it/k7ymzaqyckc31.png

  • Save and close the config.json file.

5. Start the Services server

  • Go back up a few folders to the main CypherPokerJS folder. Find the cypherpokerjs.exe file and run it.

https://i.redd.it/2r6fb0l4dkc31.png

  • In CypherPoker.JS' main menu, select CONNECTIVITY.

https://i.redd.it/kamdk2s7dkc31.png

  • In the pulldown labeled "Enable external access to API / P2P services using", select the type of tunnel connection to open for players to connect to. Use "WSSTunnel" for universal connectivity (web and desktop), or select "SSHTunnel" if all players are using the desktop version.

https://i.redd.it/wuasdi8adkc31.png

  • Click the toggle button next to the pulldown to enable external access. The SDB connection string will appear in the text box below. Click on the COPY TO CLIPBOARD button to copy the SDB to your system clipboard.

https://i.redd.it/ddxvdinddkc31.png

  • Send the SDB (via email, IM, etc.), to players who want to connect to and use your services. To connect, they will need to open the CONNECTIVITY panel from the MAIN MENU, paste the provided SDB into the "Connect using Services Descriptor Bundle (SDB)" field, and click CONNECT.
    • Note that the web version of CypherPoker.JS doesn't include the Services control portion of the CONNECTIVITY interface, only the desktop version does.

https://i.redd.it/mrsfdi0hdkc31.png

  • Your CypherPoker.JS Services Server can now be used to create and manage accounts, play and settle games, etc. You don't have to play (although you can), just remember to keep the application running while there are players connected!

Floyx - social media for crypto world

https://i.redd.it/26szf8h8pjc31.png

Welcome,

The first contact with the blockchain network, and in fact its main tangible representative Bitcoin, we had contact almost 5 years ago, and already 3 years later for the first time the payment system helped us when other financial resources failed. In deepening this knowledge, we saw great potential in the blockchain network, as well as its reliability. Following social media, we noticed a certain regularity which says that there will never be a product under the hand of "big giants" oriented only for the environment of blockchain (and in general crypto reasoning). There are many reasons, even a real threat to the fundamental value of money (fiat), banks and political organizations. It is difficult to regulate and influence something that has been created for people and gives a lot of freedom in the flow of money (the speed and lack of fees that can be freely regulated in the case of banks).

That is why it is so important to give people the opportunity to unite at one particular point. A place where they will share their knowledge, information on the development of their company, as well as create a place where people will be able to find jobs with ever-growing technologies that will revolutionize the world over the next few years.

Floyx - the first vision of the project appeared in 2017, and after a few months the project went to a software company. In June 2018, we started financing the project. At the end of 2018, we found the country that is most friendly to new technology - Malta, and in April 2019 we received a certificate (REGISTRACTION NUMBER: C91454) confirming the registration of the company.

The whole project was financed from the beginning with private funds.

We wanted to surprise the world, not only connected with blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, but also all those around who are skeptical about it; first and foremost  show that knowledge is the most important thing. Before issuing an opinion, get acquainted with the environment, people, companies and technology (and its possible use).

We would like to point out that the registration and use of all possibilities on the site is completely FREE. As FLOYX is safe and free social media, we do not ask for private data of users, we do not ask the user for a phone number, etc.

https://i.redd.it/vd3mem1lpjc31.jpg

At the present moment we have already prepared:

  • Profile verification system - accounts of companies that are already prospering with their own currency or using blockchain and start-ups (eg ICO). The prepared system with support will check profiles to protect real business owners as well as secure the community against fraud (in the case of ICO). Additionally, a dedicated team will be responsible for blocking accounts that deliberately mislead other people (FAKE NEWS, SCAM).
  • Applications for Android and iOS operating systems - which have passed the tests and are ready for publication.
  • 2-step authentication - The user has the option of securing his account with an additional code.
  • Servers to which the product will be transferred after the beta version has been completed.
  • Messenger - an internal system that allows users to communicate with each other.
  • Extensive notification system - the user in addition to standard notifications such as "marking", "comment", "like", etc. It has the ability to set a reminder in the event that interests him.
  • Marketing - we have hired a company that manages profiles on available social media (in order to extend the range of reception among people not familiar with the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology so far).
  • Marketing materials - a company specializing  in the creation of advertisements for large brands has made promotional films for us, aimed at reaching more recipients.
  • Web - the website is very extensive, in addition to the tools and options that you know from existing websites, we have prepared a lot of innovative solutions and tools that are directly adapted to the cryptocurrency and blockchain environment.
  • On the website we have created additional premium options for users who want to promote their account directly in the environment. In addition to the standard acceptance of payments in FIAT, we have added the possibility of BTC payments. In the future, we will want to implement cryptocurrencies as payment methods.

Floyx, is currently in the BETA VERSION.

The market and the world are changing very dynamically, unimaginable things become standard. Starting work on Floyx in mid-2018, according to a project developed by us in 2017, we felt obligated  to chase the current trends and needs of recipients. We abandoned the search for what has already been done, deciding to do something that was not seen before.

https://i.redd.it/p116ev5lqjc31.png

Freedom is our main goal, and the first step is to make Floyx available to the world.

We invite you to our channels on social media, on which we will keep you updated on the implementation of the project.

LUX has successfully implemented a major fork at block 828100.

This fork brings changes to block rewards (which you can find more info about above) and implements various fixes and improvements which we will be talking more about soon. One major enhancement is Schnorr signature integration, which we may be only the 2nd coin to have implemented this (Bitcoin Cash and LUX - Bitcoin is expected to add this soon). Some next steps for our chain upgrades include a full upgrade to the Bitcoin 0.18 codebase. This will allow us to further integrate with partners and move forward with new advanced features.

Special thanks for all the hard work @TopoX & @giaki3003 and the entire Luxcore team. Also, we appreciate the community's support and we are excited about future developments!

FYI, if you did not upgrade your wallet, you can download the latest version at: github You may have to reset your local blocks (if you are on a bad chain), and you can find a guide for that process here: user guide

And if you have already updated, we pushed out a minor update this morning. Nothing major, but if you have the time to upgrade again that would be great.
