For additional on cryptographic forms of money and tokens see a delicate prologue to computerized tokens. How is

Download Offline Ethereum distinctive to Bitcoin? This is the place it gets increasingly specialized and from various perspectives progressively unpredictable. Ethereum’s square time is shorter In

Download Offline Ethereum the time between squares is around 14 seconds, contrasted and Bitcoin’s ~10 minutes.

Mirror trading international

Mirror trading international : It is currently the eve of 2018 and bitcoin is at the highest point of the mountain. The awful days is by all accounts gone, and albeit a bitcoin air pocket could happen whenever, there is no contending the cryptographic money is setting down deep roots. The sooner you get included into bringing in cash from bitcoin, the better ground you will have in 5 years when it turns into a built up money around the world.

Mirror trading international : Also, if the Bubble alarms you, putting resources into bitcoin is only one of the alternatives, yet not alone. Air pocket or not you can at present make huge amounts of cash from bitcoin. Also, bubble or not, the worth will ascend later on in light of the fact that individuals are simply engaging in it.

Make you claim Bitcoin Faucet : Mirror trading international

Winning Potential: $50 to $800 per month.

Mirror trading international – A bitcoin spigot is an undertaking wherein you make a site or application for clients to visit. You adapt the site with advertisements that pay in bitcoin. The promotions pay a limited quantity of bitcoins per site hit, snap or transformation.

Mirror trading international : To empower a lot of guests to continue exploring the site on a day by day and hourly premise, you offer to part the income from the promotions with them, paying in Satoshi which are fundamentally bitcoin pennies. To guarantee their rewards the client needs to procure a specific measure of Satoshi and installments are led on a week after week premise.

Mirror trading international : Fixtures are paying between 100,000 to 400,000 satoshi’s every hour. Some offer premium installments for position or undertakings accomplishments.

Mirror trading international : Fixtures started to work with the tackling of captchas, and that’s it. An exhausting automated revenue task. New fixtures are working in games were clients murder outsiders, feed critters or execute robots to acquire satoshi, the more they advance in the game the more they gain. So this is an extraordinary thought for your own fixture.

The day were each computer game player gets paid for playing is practically around the bend.

Mull over that bitcoin spigots will in general default due to underfunding or liquidity. The proprietors of the spigot don’t get their installments sufficiently quick to pay a quickly developing client base. They likewise will in general be hot focuses for programmers.

Produce Passive Income from Your Bitcoin Blog : Mirror trading international

Since bitcoin is so new contrasted with other focused on content there’s loads of space for new bloggers and locales. New organizations identified with bitcoin spring up each day; anything from bitcoin trades, exchanging, play cash destinations, spigots, online shops and digging are devoted for your advertorial space.

Making a bitcoin blog and adapting can be delayed toward the start, yet steady distributing of rich substance will get a few promoters keen on no under 9 months.

You can join some associate projects or set up your own bitcoin shop. Bitcoin spigots, wallets and trades pay huge commissions per referral.

Little Earnings from Bitcoin Faucets : Mirror trading international

My first guidance included making your own special spigot. In the event that that is a piece excessively hard, at that point take a stab at going along with one and receiving off its rewards. Rather than making around $800 every month it would be progressively similar to $30 to $100 per month from a dreary errand, yet it’s still cash and an initial step to start developing your bank.

Observe that bitcoin fixtures will in general be flawed and vanish extremely quick. So make a point to join some respectable ones like Robotcoin.com and BitcoinAlien.com. These are additionally fun since you find a good pace while gaining, my top most proposal would be robotcoin.

Make a Bitcoin Product or Service Online Shop : Mirror trading international

Bitcoin is still difficult to adapt into USD and other hard monetary forms. Not excessively it is very hard, yet promotions a few expenses and assessments to the procedure. Despite the fact that it is as yet perhaps the least expensive approaches to send cash to anyplace on the planet.

Mirror trading international – Purchasing stuff with bitcoins is an extraordinary method for making something valuable out of them and helps avoid the charges and assessment of trades. Particularly on the off chance that you can, at that point exchange those merchandise and transform into hard money.

Mirror trading international – There is an extraordinary business opportunity in selling merchandise addressed in bitcoin at low costs or discount. All you need is a bitcoin dealer for your Shopify or WooCommerce shop like BitPay.com. Shopify accompanies BitPay as of now.

[uncensored-r/Bitcoin] Halving Party? PR opportunity for Bitcoin space.

The following post by Mangizz is being replicated because some comments within the post(but not the post itself) have been silently removed.

The original post can be found(in censored form) at this link:

np.reddit.com/r/ Bitcoin/comments/f3sjs5

The original post's content was as follows:

Hello guys,
I'm wondering if there is any Halving party coming.
I know most Bitcoiners will do a party for this event, I'm just surprised to not see big holders, companies or fund, trying to organize something huge, to have some sort of PR from it.

Is it something coming? I think it could be a superb PR opportunity. Of course Media will come because it's "weird", but the background message will remain... The inflation is reducing, Bitcoin is rare.

Any opinion on that? I'm posting because I think it's a good idea, and I'm asking upvote for visibility.
If someone want to organize something huge and do a PR event... I'm available. :-D

Top crypto events over the last decade

https://preview.redd.it/5ct38iefxwg41.png?width=3600&format=png&auto=webp&s=36bbfa32ede0eaed258881791acaf42cba5a39d7

2020 marks a decade since cryptocurrency became a part of a daily routine. Mass adoption of crypto started with Bitcoin’s appearance in 2009. A lot has happened in the Crypto World since then. Now let’s take a look at the most significant events over the last crypto decade.

In 2009 the first block of Bitcoins was mined for a 50 Bitcoins reward. The same year there was the first Bitcoin hard fork which gave us Namecoin.
The first exchange appeared in 2010. It was bitcoinmarket.com which doesn’t exist anymore. The same year it was hacked for the first time. This unpleasant event showed the most obvious flaws in the system though. It was rather important to understand all the possible drawbacks, and right up to this moment a lot of efforts are taken to prevent accidents like these.

https://preview.redd.it/2bei49bgxwg41.jpg?width=992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c17047ee3bfbe43102fb786469fe53abd45e70df

2010 was also a year when investors appeared. A lot of people are looking for an opportunity to invest in crypto now, but it has taken some time to learn that crypto can actually be an investment.
2011 was a year of cryptocurrencies’ debuts. Swiftcoin appeared, and as a result of the second Bitcoin hard fork Litecoin came to the Crypto World.
In 2011, a physicist by training, 29-year-old Ross William Ulbricht, registered the Internet community called Silk Road on the anonymous Tor network. It has become one of the largest drug trafficking sites in the world. While the site was working, it managed to serve about a million customers, and the turnover of illicit substances exceeded $200 million. Almost all the payments were made in Bitcoins. In October 2013, the FBI closed the Silk Road and arrested 144,000 bitcoins, which at that time was about $100 million.
In 2012 people started talking about Bitcoin. It was even mentioned in some TV shows.
2012 was marked by the birth of XRP.
By 2013 there were around 10 cryptocurrency assets.
In 2013 arguments about cryptocurrency regulation started. Countries had to find a way to deal with new technologies. Germany, Thailand, and China prohibited the use of cryptocurrencies. At the same time Canada launched the very first Bitcoin ATM.

https://preview.redd.it/ifqduu7hxwg41.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9139c1dd510c504aea5ee0508e692be72b07f999

2014 is famous for the biggest cryptocurrency exchange hack. 850 000 BTC was stolen when the Mt.Gox exchange was hacked.
In 2015 several new cryptocurrencies appeared. The Ethereum ecosystem was introduced. Thanks to Ethereum we use smart contracts now.
In 2015 the number of Bitcoin ATMs increased, and Argentina started to accept crypto as a payment for taxi rides.
In 2015 all the ICOs started. Augur was the first to do this.
Starting from 2015 more and more cryptocurrencies appeared. As a result we have 200 000 tokens running on smart contracts now.
In 2017 Japan decided to legalize Bitcoin as a payment method. In Norway Bitcoin became an authorized investment and payment.
2017 is famous for the appearance of the most adorable blockchain project, CryptoKitties. It is not a currency, but an asset. The main thing that distinguishes CryptoKitties from all the other tokens is the uniqueness. Usually tokens are interchangeable. The value of your assets is expressed primarily in the number of tokens you have. The value of each CryptoKitty is different. What kinds of CryptoKitties you have is important. So, your only CryptoKitty may cost more than three CryptoKitties of another user. Nonetheless, CryptoKitties are in fact ERC-721 tokens built on the Ethereum blockchain. Everything is administered by smart contracts, and ETH is used for all transactions. CryptoKitties became very famous. Since December 2, new kitties appeared every 15 minutes. They became a powerful tool in showing people how to use blockchain technologies in a fun way. CryptoKitties were so attractive that at a certain moment in 2017 they congested the Ethereum network.

https://preview.redd.it/0tfc13zhxwg41.jpg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdd8291103d4d943d9de8390e130b9da3eb7eae8

15 November 2018 was the time when BCH hard fork happened. It was a result of the inner conflict between two camps: Roger Ver and Jihan Wu on the one side, and Craig Steven Wright and Calvin Ayre on the other side. This discord was caused by different versions of software. The whole thing culminated in creating BCH with 32 MB block size limit and BSV (Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision) with 128 MB block size limit.
2018 was time for European countries to come together and discuss cryptocurrency regulation.
2019 was not a good year for XRP. In June wallets that were hosted on Gatehub were hacked and 23 200 000 XRP was stolen. Upbit exchange did not have a great year either. It was hacked and lost 10 000 ETH.

https://preview.redd.it/r28fh1lixwg41.jpg?width=997&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0647df98dca5d5ad973649787415a0f56c27f360

There were a lot of attempts to create a digital currency. Not all of them were successful. Finally, Bitcoin appeared and changed the world’s perception of the concept. It came a long way and became a whole industry. It is developing constantly involving more and more people on the way. The list of new cryptocurrencies is expanding rapidly. For the next decade there are still some problems to solve, but nonetheless the future of cryptocurrency seems to be extremely exciting.

35 years old. 3.5MM net-worth (mostly from crypto). Feel like I don't deserve to FIRE.

TL;DR: Guy has a great job for many years. Gets big crypto windfall at the height of his career. Now feels like his job is pointless and trying to figure out life. Boo hoo feel bad for him. I'm such an idiot.

I'll keep this quick(ish) for all of us short attention span havers. I'm 35 years old, I have a career in a field where I get to be a creator (sort of a YouTuber, sort of an artist, sort of a "travel guide", sort of a filmmaker, sort of an on-camera personality, BUT I have bosses telling me the kind of stuff to make). I was obsessed with this job/industry for the better part of a decade. For many years I got lots of travel, nice hotels shooting in foreign locations, eating nice dinners and lots of admiration and respect from peers and colleagues. I watched my income grow from mid $30k to literally 10x that over the span of 7 years. And, fortunately, I never acquired a taste for expensive things (save for some industry gear). So that meant I was saving a LOT of my income yearly. Well on my way to FI/FatFI before I even knew about this philosophy of investing.

In 2014, I discovered bitcoin. Please, please. I know that many here think bitcoin in a huge speculative gamble and after riding through a major UP and DOWN, you are preaching to the choir. Regardless, I love the idea of it and fell deep down the rabbit hole– reading and watching every bit of content I could find. Over the span of a year and a half I put ALMOST everything I saved into it– figuring my earnings would set me back ahead even if it tanks. (Again, I crazy/foolish I know). Long story short, the bull run hits in 2017, and I can't fucking believe it. Over the course of 6 months, hands shaking, I cashed out (after tax) about 2.8 million. I didn't even sell at the top.

Around this time, I was trying to learn how to "live off the interest", get off that crazy rollercoaster, invest RESPONSIBLY– I discovered FIRE, and was like "holy shit" this is it! I jammed everything into a simple three fund index-based portfolio of US Equity/Foreign Equity/Bonds.

I kept working (way less) for almost 2 years after that, but everything mentally changed. Suddenly, once the monetary excitement was stripped from doing work, all the other pluses felt...dull. Like, I can get "nice hotels", "lots of travel", "good dinners" etc... without a job now.

I hit 3.5 million this year and have been taking a break completely from work for 9 months now. Traveling, contemplating, philosophizing, visiting friends, leaning into hobbies/pastimes and honestly trying to figure out what my life means to myself and others now that at a 3.8% SWR, after tax, I can SPEND/DONATE $10,000/month forever. That's my needs, wants and then some. Why would I do anything that a boss/client/manager wants me to do when...I don't have to?

I'm at the same mental place a LOT of people get to when they hit their number. The problem is two-fold, One, I used to looove my job and it was a source of lots of excitement in my life. Hard to recreate that with just money, but I also don't feel like doing the work it takes just to get the high status stuff. Two, I don't feel like I deserve this at all because I got here earlier with a lucky bet on crypto. I would have definitely gotten here, but maybe in my 40s and I would have felt I actually earned it.

Basically, it feels like I used a cheat code on my life and now I'm not sure how to make it fun again. And don't feel like I "deserve" to FIRE. This is such an unrelatable problem, but I thought this nonjudgemental community might have some insights or nuggets of wisdom.

The Cashaddr spec claims it can always detect six errored characters. This is incorrect, it cannot. Be careful with anything that claims to correct errors, this mistake makes such tools more dangerous.

Cashaddr is BCH's clone of BIP173.

It is modified to handle detecting additional errors at the expense of making addresses longer. Unfortunately, less care was apparently taken in the selection and validation of the parameters than BIP173. Particularly, the specification claims that "It ensures the detection of up to 6 errors in the address" but this property is not actually achieved for any supported address size.

I hadn't bothered to comment on this previously because handling 5 errors is plenty-- and any sequence of events likely to produce 6 would probably also be fairly likely to produce more in any case. As it was, this mistake wasn't of practical consequence and is just sort of the thing you'd expect from hasty changes "turn it up to 11", but otherwise harmless.

I also think it's unlikely that parameters exist which achieve the claimed behaviour without making the addresses even longer yet-- which I really doubt would be a good trade-off.

However, recently people have posted software to automatically correct errors made in typed addresses. Correction interacts poorly with mistaken beliefs about the error detection ability of the format.

BIP173 specifically recommends against correcting errors because doing so destroys the error detection safety: "An unfortunate side effect of error correction is that it erodes error detection: correction changes invalid inputs into valid inputs, but if more than a few errors were made then the valid input may not be the correct input. Use of an incorrect but valid input can cause funds to be lost irrecoverably. Because of this, implementations SHOULD NOT implement correction beyond potentially suggesting to the user where in the string an error might be found, without suggesting the correction to make."

The cashaddr spec dutifully gives a confusing paraphrase of this warning: "BCH codes allows for error correction. However, it is strongly advised that error correction is not done in an automatic manner as it may cause funds to be lost irrecoverably if done incorrectly. It may however be used to hint a user at a possible error." This text eliminates the justification and instead is easily read as expressing the concern that the correcting software might be written incorrectly rather than the concern being a fundamental trade-off between correction and detection strength.

Essentially every corrected error removes two characters from the detection ability. So if the code actually guaranteed the detection of 6 errors it could correct three errors unambiguously (though if there were more errors it would be undetected and your funds would be destroyed), but cashaddr does not actually have that property though the spec claims it does. Similarly, if some software corrected only two errors it would still have two errors worth of detection remaining-- but it doesn't because the code cannot guarantee the detection of 6 errors.

I'm unsure how this mistake was made. Validating the error handling capacity of these codes is tricky and computationally expensive. If the search were implemented completely naively it would have to evaluate more than 2⁵² candidate error patterns to check for up to 6 errors in length 42 for each candidate set of parameters that were evaluated. To create BIP173 we had to invent a multitude of novel algebraic optimizations to make the search tractable. Deadalnix claims, however, that our published software wasn't used to create cashaddr. I asked deadalnix for the software used to derive cashaddr, but I guess he lost interest in the discussion.

In any case, this flaw isn't a big deal unless you start correcting errors. I recommend taking BIP173's advice and limit any error 'correction' to just hinting to users characters they should double check.

Cheers,

Subreddit Improvement Proposal (SIP) for r/HongKong: pinned posts, flairs, brainstorming megathreads, request AMAs, surveys, more cultural exchanges, events calendar.

Hey everybody, I’ve been researching decentralized movements for the last few years from cryptos to HK pro-democracy movement, and wrote a bunch of articles about the global digital resistance. The latest article is focused on best Reddit’s practices, because Reddit is essential for decentralized governance, since exposure of the information here depends on the quality and relevance of the content, rather than how many followers an author has.

During major protests and police brutality this sub had lots of newcomers and many online members, but now it’s kind of quiet, so it requires more work to keep members interested in the sub. I’ve decided to list some specific practices from other subreddits that can be implemented at r/HongKong in order to increase engagement, retention, and potentially attract more new users.

Here is a list of some of the suggestions:

(all examples with images and links can be found in the latest article)

Two sections “r/HongKong Rules” and “Before you post/ comment” in the sidebar take lots of space, but they basically duplicate each other, so it makes sense to keep only one of them, and use sidebar space for other resources.
Pinned posts. Currently there are two pinned posts for a very long time. One of them is a megathread with resources for anti-extradition protests, which is a good onboarding material, and another post is a reminder about 5 demands. Both of this posts are important. However, this limits mods’ ability to pin other posts, because only two posts can be pinned at the same time. A solution can be combining "5 demands" post into "onboarding resources" post, or moving onboarding materials into a dedicated Reddit wiki, which can be places in the top menu. Then mods will be able to pin other posts, which is necessary for many events. Feel free to suggest other solutions.
Flairs. Currently there are only 7 flairs available for filtering at the sidebar: Mod Post, Art, Image, Video, News, Offbeat, Add Flair. I’d suggest to add all existing filters to a “Filter by flair” sidebar, or add a button “show more”, which will show the whole list of available flairs. I’d also suggest to add some new flairs like Article, Tourism, Meme. Feel free to suggest other flairs.
Brainstorming megathreads can be a good experiment in order to build a better bridge between netizens and on-the-ground HKers. Best suggestions can be discussed, improved and translated to traditional Chinese and posted on LIHKG. Don’t get me wrong, HKers are very smart and creative, but international experience can be very valuable as well. HKers have already implemented many practices from activists in other countries. Brainstorming megathreads can be created and pinned during important events/challenges, or there might be some periodic brainstorming/suggestion threads like Sunday Suggest Anything thread. Periodic events can be listed in “Events Calendar” in a sidebar.
Ask Me Anything. AMAs are a great way to increase engagement and bring more people to a sub. Mods can approach activists, journalists, influencers of their choice or add a button to a sidebar like “request an AMA” using Google forms. AMAs are also a good way to inform a public about unfolding events. For example, activists and journalists sometimes approach me with questions about LIHKG, because I’ve written a few pieces about HK decentralized governance. It would be great if people can simply post their questions in this sub and get detailed answers. Periodic AMAs can be held weekly, e.g. Monday Ask Anything HK (MAAHK). Upcoming AMAs can be listed in “Events Calendar” in a sidebar. Feel free to suggest famous people for AMAs.
Surveys. Conducting anonymous surveys can increase engagement and attract some attention from news outlets. A survey can be conducted with Google Forms or other third party solutions like Survey Monkey and be presented in a Reddit post. Feel free to suggest questions, dates, and other tools for a survey.
Cultural exchange event with r/AskAnAmerican was a great event, so I’d suggest to continue this practice. You can look at the crypto community, which also survives in a highly hostile environment and relies on the decentralized governance with a very complex infrastructure. I’d suggest to negotiate with subs like r/CryptoCurrency (968K members), r/Bitcoin (1.3M members), r/btc (283K members), r/Monero (165K members). Another suggestion is to approach different privacy/security subs like r/privacytoolsIO (73K members) and r/privacy (673K members) because they also advocate for a high privacy. And, of course, subs of other protest movements across the world can be a good fit. Feel free to suggest more subs for the next cultural exchange event and please explain why they would be a good fit.
Event calendar. All upcoming events (AMAs, surveys, cultural exchanges, etc.) can be listed in the sidebar.

If you have any other suggestions, let everybody know in the comments.

If you’re interested in decentralized movements, you can also find some practical suggestions and tips in an open-source manual Decentralized Activism.

P.S. Similar Subreddit Improvement Proposals (SIPs) with a different content have been created in other crypto-related or activism-related subs.

As Treasury Signals New Rules For Crypto, Does Trump Seek A Ban?

Opinion: Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin testified that ‘We are about to roll out some significant new requirements,’ in response to a question on cryptocurrency. ‘We want to make sure that technology moves forward; on the other hand, we want to make sure cryptocurrencies aren’t used for the equivalent of old Swiss secret number banking.’

In 2019, the introduction of Facebook’s Libra Project, a cryptocurrency designed under the leadership of David Marcus, former CEO of PayPal, with the intention of providing the millions of unbanked populations around the world, sent shock waves to the leaders of nation states including the United States and China on the future of monetary policy and the balance of power in the 21st century.

The looming threat of cryptocurrency tokens run on blockchain networks with no influence or power that can be exerted by nation states - whether from bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency that operates off of a global decentralized network on computers, or from Facebook’s creation of a conglomerate of private corporations that stand to become a global digital central bank using blockchain technology to issue tokens that could become a new form of money as ubiquitous as the world wide web.

White House Policies do not typically happen in a vacuum. The Treasury has already warned cryptocurrency companies through the FinCen Director Kenneth A Blanco about needing to comply with Bank Secrecy Act rules. ‘Please remember what is at stake here.’ is how Director Blanco ended his speech at an event in November 2019 where he was discussing the importance of regulating cryptocurrencies to avoid its use by terrorist organizations or money launderers. He was following up on what The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international organization responsible for money laundering and antiterrorism policies, had already issued in terms of a regulation that is commonly known as the ‘Travel Rule’. This ‘Travel Rule’ makes it that when you are buying and selling bitcoin on a blockchain, the information of the sender and the receiver must be recorded on both ends of the transaction - something that ostensibly the Bitcoin blockchain network was never designed to consider.
