A very cool guy here on reddit sent me ~$3 worth of BCH via the chaintip bot. He recommended the bitcoin.com wallet so I downloaded it for iOS and received the transaction no problem. I was actually really impressed at how well it worked and decided to start using it when the need arises. It's been sitting idle ever since.
Fast forward to now, I'm getting back into coding and thought about whipping up a random BCH online wallet thing - just to practice, nothing serious. I'm at the point where I want to test it and send some BCH to it. Problem is, my Bitcoin.com iOS wallet does not work at all.
It lets me see my balance, but I can't send anything. When I click on send, the window comes up asking me how much I want to send, problem is whatever I put in there just gives me an "insufficient funds" error. I do have funds, I even checked it on the blockchain explorer. Okay I thought, let's try an even smaller amount...like 0,001 BCH. Also doesn't work, because the decimal sign disappears as soon as I hit a number and turns to 0001BCH instead of 0.001BCH.
Alright...maybe it's buggy but I don't want to deal with it, lets export my private key and import it on a trusty dekstop wallet. THERE IS NO OPTION TO EXPORT MY PRIVATE KEY! The guide on their website is outdated and it's telling me to click buttons that don't exist in the current version. There is no way to get my private key out of there, I have looked everywhere.
Kinda furious, I saw that they have a chat built-in...great, let's try that. If they would answer...I've been waiting for an answer for a straight hour and nothing.
Looking for another solution, I downloaded another wallet called "Guarda" that let's me import from recovery mnemonic. I type in my mnemonic that the bitcoin.com wallet gave me and it restores a perfectly brand new wallet that is not mine and has 0 balance.
At this point, I thought about reinstalling the app but I don't want to lose even that small amont that's in there because I want to experiment with it. I am honestly very curious about BCH but there is not a single wallet for iOS that I found works well. All of them focus on having a bazillion currencies supported and none of them actually offer a great experience, including the UI. Exodus is built with Electron or some other shitty non-native platform, Guarda looks like s**t just like BRD and unresponsive.
Why is this like this? Why can't there be a wallet that actually works and is reliable with a seamless UI/UX? All this non-native electron or react bullshit...and no, I don't want to use blockchain[.]info or coinbase mobile wallet because I want to have control of my keys, even if that means losing whatever's in there if I lose my phone. I want to have my crypto "offline" and not registered under an email with anybody...that's the whole point of it.
Edit: yes, I selected the BCH wallet that has a balance and not the BTC wallet...
Edit2: iPhone XR with the latest iOS
hey so, end up re writing my programs multiple times because if i am the one making it and at any point i find my self being confused trying to figure out whats going on, i assume it must be crap and needs to be redone / cleaned up...
so i am looking for some helpful feedback on this program. Specifically the [single] class cpp file and the approach i took to solve the problem while trying to follow the guide lines of the problem.
[this is fun work i am not in any programming class so its not home work]
I'll even buy you a coffee and send you $3 usd in bitcoin r your time...i know its not alot but i figure better than nothing?
here is the github where iv uploaded the main.ccp and class cpp/h files...The word problem is also written in the "readme" along with a few more comments..
https://github.com/cplusplusisgod/review
also, iv added a bunch of comments in the code but ..jeez to be honest i hear comments are super important but i find them to make the code look way harder to follow/understand...
..thank you for your time!

I'm from the UK, I've just seen on the Daily Corona Virus Update that they'll be removing the debt to our social health care system.
And while I should be happy about this since it's all for saving people's lives. I know that this is a cheque the economy can't cash.
I see that in the states the Federal Reserve says they have unlimited cash and that all loan collectors will be able to use the debt of the people who haven't paid them as leverage for their debts. And so on and so on.
I'm seeing a complete failure of the western banking system. And while I know there is that magical cryptocurrency. I know next to nothing about it. Where to start, how to begin.
I don't want to risk losing any more money than what could already be lost in the quarantine. I still want to work for my money. I know that mining using graphics cards and there is only a chance it can happen, is a thing but I don't know where to go.
Do I need a new browser? How strong a graphics card do I need?
If there was an easy guide to bitcoin everyone would be rich or its value would be massive.
This is not an ask for a hard out.
I want to be taught how to fish so I can keep my family from growing hungry.
Hello, I've been keeping a spreadsheet of my contributions to the syndicate event. I hope you find this useful.
| Item | Value | USD Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| My CRO Stake | 100k | |
| My CRO Contribution | 101402.40986335 | $4,927.83 (X) |
| My CRO Refund | 97133.51023967 | $4,720.37 |
| Total CRO Used | 4268.899624 | $207.45 (Y2) |
| BCH Received | 1.86609993 | $422.08 (Y1) |
| Profit (Y2 - Y1) | $214.81 (Y) | |
| Lock (X) to Make (Y) Ratio | %4.36 |
The way I am thinking about this, is you get %4.36 of whatever amount you lock up.
The BitcoinCash syndicate was actually less profitable than others. For example, the Lock (X) to make (Y) ratio was %5.28.
On the sale that is 50% off, I would expect that the total ROI at the end of the day, for the CRO that you used to be over 200%, which it was. I had a 203% ROI on the spent CRO for this syndicate.
Let me know what kind of stats you want to see in this report. I have all sorts of stats available.
QUESTION FOR MODERATOR: Could I include a CRO donation address for those who wish to reward me for this content?
On Apr.1, 2020, PlatON hosted an online event of partnership with QB.com, the world’s leading digital asset exchange that offers a secure and reliable BTC and ETH service to users. PlatON CTO James Qu and the Head of QB.com Financial Product Thomas Ho shared the business features and collaboration visions. Research Director of Chain News Mr. Pan and the editor-in-chief of Cointelegraph China Amey hosted this event. PlatON announced that QB.com has joined in PlatON ecosystem as a validator to help enhance the network stability and community building.
Introduction of QB.com
Thomas: QB group, whose predecessor is Bitbays founded in 2013, is made up with investment institutes. Recent years, QB group has invested and incubated many notable public blockchains, quantitative investment companies, exchanges, mining institutes, medias and blockchain-based security firms, such as yunaq.com that provides security assurance for QB, ChainNews, the madia partner of QB, FBG Capital, the blockchain investment fund, etc. Currently, QB group mainly consists of:
Tokenview: a generated block explorer that has provided browse and search services for many mainstream public blockchains, and the trace and comprehensive analysis of on-chain data for many institutes;
Bitcapital: a financial institute located in England that has managed more than $1B assets in total;
3. Mining sites
Next, we will carry forward our strengthens on data finance and deeply dive into the blockchain industry to provide better data support of Tokenview, continue the asset management service of Bitcapital and improve the financial product design of QB.
How Do You Think about the Follow-up Development of Blockchain Industry?
Thomas: Blockchain is a distributed storage technology that has been commonly used, thus whether if the technology fundamental of blockchain can support the real uses cases is of great importance to the development of the whole blockchain industry. Recently, we see many management and commercial application issues of public blockchains of which the main nets have been officially released, resulted in the development resistance of the uses cases. These public blockchains definitely can’t satisfy the investors, and many people doubt the development of the blockchain industry.
In my opinion, all these problems are just a part of the development and iteration of a new technology.
How Do You Think about the Application of Privacy-Preserving Computation in the Finance Industry, whether if QB will collaborate with PlatON?
Thomas: Finance data is the core asset in the Fin-tech field, the whole life circle of data including collection, integration, analysis and computing are all valuable, and once gets attacked and stolen, the companies will suffer a great loss.
Throughout the world, data leakage is just a common occurrence, such as the Equifax event in 2017, HSBC event in 2018, and the recent Sina Weibo and Zoom issues. The data disclosure issues have drew worldwide attention to the data security, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in EU, Privacy Act and Cybersecurity Act in America, and Personal Data Protection Act (GDPA) in Singapore, etc. China also issued the People’s Republic of China Cyber Security Law, and Personal Information Protection Law in revision.
The data collection of Fin-tech should obey the laws and regulations to protect users’ right-to-know, and enable users to be clear about how the data are collected and used to.
Currently, Fin-tech and other same business are facing the challenges when forming the collaboration based on private data;
1: centralization: when collaborating with institutes or firms built by the first-tier banks or enterprises, other parties in the collaboration programs will worry about the customer loss once the data is controlled by the first-tier banks or enterprises;
security: there will be data disclosure risk when sharing the private data and sensitive data with other firms;
right affirmation: data can be easily copied in the exchange, transmission, processing and access so that can’t be affirmed. Without affirmation, data asset can’t be authorized. Thus, there won’t be clear right & interest relationship and productive relationship to definite the value and reallocate the profit reasonably.
We believe blokchain technologies can solve the long-term issues in the traditional businesses to the great extent. Hence, QB will collaborate with PlatON on Privacy AI including security and data businesses.
Why Did QB Joined PlatON as a Validator in the Early Stage and How’s It?
Thomas: We keep paying close attention to the development of blockchain industry, and wish to collaborate with promising and sustainable projects. We can see the development of the whole blockchain industry just follows the insights from founder of Wanxiang Blockchain and PlatON Dr.Xiao, including the Cosmos’ asset cross-chain and the upgrade of Ethereum towards the Internet of Value, Bitcoin Lightning Network supporting payment, etc, showing the availability of blockchain,
We’re very excited about PlatON’s solutions on data privacy, and wish to see the efficient application of data value. Thus, we immediately joined PlatON ecosystem as a validator at the early stage when PlatON launched its Galaxy Rally. So far, QB works well in PlatON’s new Baleyworld test net, and we set 100% delegation reward ratio for all delegators who support us. Welcome to delegate QB.
Technical Architecture of PlatON on Privacy-Preserving Computation
James: We started and then focus on privacy-preserving computation from the standpoint of digital asset era. We keep pace with the top firms in the basic researches of privacy-preserving algorithms and international collaboration plans, and each of us has the unique advantages. PlatON mainly focus on the core privacy-preserving computation architecture as the infrastructure for privacy-preserving computation network and distributed economies.
Regarding the technical architecture, PlatON consists of the research and verification of basic cryptography algorithms, hardware acceleration, built-in algorithms, and the further technology framework based on the above technologies.
For privacy-preserving computation, we have Rosetta, a complete Privacy AI framework, while for as the infrastructure for distributed economies, we are the combination of blockchain and privacy-preserving computation, providing solutions including digital identity, KMS and on/off-chain privacy. Furthermore, we have data bank and applications in IoT, including Finance, healthcare, logistic, etc.
What are the Points for PlatON after QB Joined PlatON as a Validator?
James: As an open and transparent community, PlatON sincerely welcome all partners with different businesses and layouts to join the network building and ecosystem development of PlatON. QB has profound accumulations and operation experience in both traditional and emerging markets, I believe QB will bring us widen insights and deep analysis on the economic activities. We look forward to more sparks of ideas and a robust PlatON ecosystem with QB.
What’s the Further Commercial Layout of PlatON, Will You Consider the Payment for Financial Institutes?
James: As what we mentioned, blockchain is born to be the financial infrastructure, and PlatON is dedicated to being the infrastructure for privacy-preserving computation and distributed economies. Thus, most use cases of PlatON are in financial field. PlatON, empowered by privacy-preserving computation, and enhanced with blockchain, will renovate the traditional financial system and help upgrade it to be the next-generation clearing system, settlement system and payment settlement. With the joint effort of community, we can be a payment infrastructure for financial infrastructure.
What Possibilities will Be Bought in with the Collaboration between QB and PlatON?
Thomas: PlatON offered us a very good chance to join in the node building for the promising project, and witness the development of an emerging technology. We appreciate that. We will provide stable technical support and feedbacks for nodes. Later on, we will have a data collaboration based on Tokenview, and have a deep talk on data authorization, data exchange and data collaboration, to help facilitate PlatON’s commercial application at home and abroad using the strengthens of QB.
PlatON is Cautious and Serious when Choosing Partners, So, what are the Strengthens of QB?
James: QB team has years of experience in traditional private banking, and trading management on currency and derivatives. Meanwhile, QB recognizes the data privacy, and are familiar with the advantages of blockchain technologies and security. From the above, QB is a productive power in PlatON ecosystem, and we feel so lucky to reach a consensus with QB team.
Thomas: We’ve introduced the strengthens of QB before. In a word, QB is the combination of finance and security. Currently, both PlatON and QB mainly focus on the node verification and data collaboration. We appreciate the help from PlatON CEO Mr. Sun, CTO James and other friends in PlatON ecosystem. Btw, QB’s financial products is supported by BitCapital’s fund, which follows the regulation of England strictly. Financial risk control comes first for us.
Menson'
In ongeveer 41 dagen is The Bitcoin Halving Event dan uiteindelijk daar. Na 4 jaar wachten is het dan daadwerkelijk hier. Ik heb 'n portfolio opgebouwd over de afgelopen maanden en gebruik gemaakt van fluctuaties tijdens deze COVID-19 crisis.
Wat zijn jullie bevindingen omtrent The Halving Event van Bitcoin? Gaat de Bitcoin exploderen met all-time-highs of zal COVID-19 de Bitcoin met de grond gelijk maken? Hoe groot achten jullie de kans dat COVID-19 de prijs van Bitcoin alleen maar zal versterken in combinatie met FOMO vlak voor dit event?
Ik ben benieuwd naar jullie mening!
Bedankt.

The issues facing us today are incomparable to any other time. Humanity has never faced a moment quite like this in world history.
Let’s run down the series of events we are currently facing:
Almost all of these events happened within two weeks! Some occurred overnight. The virus has spread to (as of the writing this) 177 countries and by the reaction of the major countries, restrictions on smaller countries are likely to follow, if they haven’t already.
Timelines can be radically shifted and turn people’s lives upside down. The wave that follows these kinds of events isn’t a slow panic. It ratchets up in terms of magnitude, if you weren’t prepared before this event, it is extremely difficult to get your life in order during the events.
It can’t be anymore obvious that self-reliance and self-sovereignty are the correct choice moving forward. Individuals should not only utilize these human conditions but should champion these ideals.
Preparation
The current situation has been developing since the end of 2019 but only began to affect the western world in January 2020. How quickly things have shifted from a normal day in a city, to having a complete lock-down and cases popping up all around. Cases of people falling ill and passing on in a few days is a gut-check to our mortality, one many of us are scared of facing. Not many are prepared to deal with these kinds of issues.
Younger people are less likely to consider these types of situations. People die abruptly all the time, and in the short life cycle of decentralized cryptocurrencies, there hasn’t been enough of a demand for people to consider the after-life for solutions to be fleshed out. Most cryptocurrency users are below the age of 60. The worst time to plan for something that could affect your livelihood is during an emergency situation. Having a passive solution in place will set you up in the case that something terrible does happen to you or a loved one.
We are seeing companies offering wealth contingency solutions. Many of these solutions still utilize the old financial guard or some off-chain solution. Lawyers holding private keys or wills that contain information in regards to private key recovery are just two examples that prove these strategies still have great pitfalls. Bitcoin’s ability to offer a censorship resistant peer-to-peer transfer of value is the gold standard of what solutions like this should strive for.
People that are holding any portion of their wealth in crypto should consider the value of a decentralized contingency plans for wealth maintenance. The value proposition that people realize from using bitcoin should be applied to some other specific use cases.
Blockchain has a small niche use-case, however, it shouldn’t be forced to fit into every aspect of our lives, but if there is a use-case people will utilize it. Taking the middle-men out of managing your financial sovereignty was the first step. The next step is that YOU maintain that wealth after you pass on.
When preparing for pass-down of ownership of private keys, you should consider:
There are many privacy preserving tools that you can use to further enhance your financial sovereignty. In the coming months, we will have open discussion on how open money and open software is the way forward in a time of constant unknowns.

Traditional Futures Contracts VS Perpetual Contracts
To clarify this concept, it is best to begin by highlighting the differences between these two financial instruments. Traditional futures contracts always have an exact expiration or settlement date. Although its price deviates from the underlying asset’s price (basis) during its lifetime, they will always converge at expiration.
Perpetual contracts on the other hand, never expire and never settle in the traditional sense. As such, their prices could end up becoming wildly different than the underlying assets that they derive their value from. To prevent this from happening, a Funding Rate mechanism attempts to tether a contract’s price to its asset’s price.
How does a Funding Rate help tether prices?
The concept becomes more intuitive as you being to understand the process. The funding rate is calculated by considering the interest rates for both trading pair currencies and the Premium Index. The calculation either yields a positive (longs pay shorts) or a negative (shorts pay longs) funding rate. Every 8 hours payments are exchanged with the funding rate deciding who pays who. This exchange of payments causes the Last Traded Price to move closer to the Mark Price.
Let’s imagine that the current Last Traded price for a product on our exchange is significantly higher than the Mark Price. Logically, this means that there are more traders with long positions. As such, they will probably end up paying short position holders at the time of funding. Because traders are aware of when funding will occur, they then become less likely to want to hold these positions and more likely to sell. Hence, the Last Traded price will continually drop and approximate the Mark Price.
Key Points
Funding Rate fees are only paid between traders and not collected by the exchange at all.
It is intended to help tether a perpetual contract’s price to the mark price.
The rate can vary depending on the market.
It is a mechanism that only applies to perpetual contracts and is used by all exchanges that deal with these type of derivatives.
