When is myceleum and Samourai Wallet going to get in the game for LN? Right now there is ONLY 1 wallet that is mainnet now and that is 'bitcoin lightning wallet'. eclair i don't think you can even receive funds on.

Ever since crypto gave me financial freedom I'm more and more astounded by how different people's lives are because of money. If I place a lucky trade I can profit enough to sustain my living for the next several months. I'm free to travel, experience and develop myself as I wish. But what I see on my third world travels is taxi drivers who spend all day every day in the car, haggling with me over an extra 2 euros, waiters at restaurants grateful for my "generous" 1 euro tips, and basically people enslaved everywhere to their day jobs. How is it that people still need to work just to ensure their basic survival, with all the technology we have? And what do the enormous corporations spend millions on developing? VR headsets? It's just insane to see how hugely different people's lives are. Submitted September 29, 2018 at 01:10PM by eff-snarf https://ift.tt/2zFe62X

I have created a crypto currency monitor for BTC and the largest alts and I wanted to share it with the Bitcoin community. The monitor keeps track of all transactions made in real time and gives a warning when unusually large transactions are found. Using the information that is gathered and information from other sources the monitor is able to identify many transaction to exchanges and their deposit wallets. It also gives a warning when USD or EUR tethers are created. The bot has been online for a few weeks now and the follower count is growing steadily. While we do not have enough data yet, there might be a correlation between large transfers to/from exchanges and price drops/rises. The reason why I have made this into a public Twitter bot is because it is hard to identify every source and destination of a transaction. If enough people contribute, the bot should be able to find and identify most of the whale transactions. The largest transaction we have been able to track so far w...

Error processing transaction. Please contact support by clicking here I tried once more but the error was still there. I created a ticket describing my problem. After two days of waiting they gave me a short reply that my account was banned as suspicious. What the …?!? I was new to LBC and made only one deal there, and got positive feedback from the seller (I replied that they can contact the seller to ensure everything was OK). I described this to the support but… silence was the answer. My coins are still locked there, despite the fact that I even got verified with my ID. Can anybody suggest what to do?

Hello BTC Redditors, Just wanted to share a little announcement rather dear to me. August of last year I left Portland, Oregon with a mission: see what BTC communities are like around the world...and make it happen with just 1 Bitcoin. Finally made it :) 18 countries. 12 months. 1 BTC. Bought it for $4,724 hard earned dollars. A month later in September I felt like a chump who bought a new car off the dealer's lot --- because BTC kept loosing value and sunk to $3,350. But I kept riding that rollercoaster. In December the price hit $19k. Just a few days before Christmas too. I felt tempted to cash it all out right then and there, let me tell ya. But a few OG's I met in Hong Kong told me to keep saddled on that bucking Bronco -- feel the adrenaline of the ups and the heartbreak of the downs. So I stuck it through. Man, what a ride. I put a little video together. Not super good at the editing, sorry. But here it is anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjacVPEaCW8 A ...

Dear Binance u/Jager_Binance , 3 weeks ago you blocked my account and after a long conversation because of my “security issue”, still nothing. My account is 3rd level verified, allowing me to take out more than 100 Bitcoins per day, the account isn’t inactive or suspicious. As soon as I noticed my account was frozen, I applied to have it unfrozen, but then you cancelled that and responded me with documents request and I gave you at least five documents you asked for in order to verify it was really me and even had a more than hour-long video call with you. I’ve done everything you’ve asked by the strong deadlines you’ve given, and then you just ignore me and don’t answer me at all. I can’t get any information from you about the process of unblocking my account and you still have all of my money; I can’t get any of it back. Could you please answer me and give me a reason for all of this? Everything you’ve said to this point hasn’t been true or according to your rules. I’d really ap...

This was December 2017. I had around 30 btc plus 20 ETH and was managing funds from three other friends which were around 30,000€ at that time. I had most funds in a ledger nano, and a few erc20 tokens and eth in metamask and mew. I had caught the huge wave of Tron and had held btc since 600€, put myself in debt for it. I remember importing my ledger to electrum and entering the seed. Few days later, everything was gone. Someone was probably monitoring me for long and my antivirus software never found any keylogger. I looked to the other accounts, also gone. This was around 18 December I think. I entered a spiral of depression and shame. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to die. Fast forward to today, after painfully telling my friends their funds were stolen and getting back on track financially, even barely, I feel like I can do this again and have picked one currency to invest and safely store.

I’m currently a senior in high school, have been in the cryptocurrency community since freshmen year. Also apart of a university’s Blockchain program. I started Bitcoin when PayPal closed my account because I was a minor. I was always interested in entrepreneurship and without a bank, I thought I would be severely limited. I got mad at the power PayPal had over my money. When exploring ways to control my money, I found Bitcoin with the help of a prominent figure in the field. In the last year, I have had classmates ask me about Bitcoin at least once a week. Many are beginners, others have empty Bitcoin wallets, and some even have some coins they’re interested in. But the overall theme is that they’re interested. I even had the chance to give Bitcoin to beginners and when they loved watching the dollar value change but the Bitcoin value being static.

Hello, You can check the "Coffee with milk index made by Bloomberg" https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-venezuela-cafe-con-leche-index/ Government "set" the prices of some goods and what happens is that they set the price is under the production cost. One example is meat, there is not meat anywhere, price is set at 90 BsS. per kilo (which is around 90 usd cents) none wants to sell at that price. Another problem (which I "think" could help to "fix" economy) is that some prices (in USD) are the same of more expensive than the international price. For example one soda can (Coke) is around 1 USD. One Mcflurry ice cream is 4-5 USD and so on. (I use these examples, so you can compare easily). But remember minimum wage is 19 USD per MONTH. So it's really had for people to live here, even if you have family abroad and they used to send 50$ per month and people used that to live here now more USD are needed....

After watching I am more than convinced that big financial instituions do not care about us. They neither cared about the people who shorted, and only 1 went to jail. Immigrants were blamed for the financial crisis. I can understand what led Satoshi to create Bitcoin. We need bitcoins. period. We need a way to store our money in a decentralized value, without worrying whether it will fall or no. I think Bitcoin ETFs will be a bad idea.

I finally set up a Raspberry Pi Lightning Node to support the lightning network. Followed the guide by https://github.com/Stadicus which can be found here: https://github.com/Stadicus/guides/tree/master/raspibolt The guide is noob friendly, the only time I faced hiccups is because of some screw ups by myself or misreading of information given in the guide. Plus the author is also quick to respond to you if you raise issues on his github. Total cost would be around $150 for the hardware (the only reason it is so high is because I bought a new 4TB hard drive for the node, which is unnecessary. For the current size of the blockchain - 250GB, a 500 GB hard drive would do.) Edit: Lightning Explorer pages haven't yet been updated with my node, I am not sure why.

Cold wallet made out of a chain
- Get link

- Other Apps
I used a stainless steel chain to encode my 24 words master seed. Since a 24 word seed requires 24*11 = 264 bits, the chain must have 264 links. My chain is approximately 12 feet long (3.7 meters). Each link is either pinched/twisted (binary 1) or normal (binary 0). The decoding requires going through all the links, every 11 links (11 bits) you get a word. It's a PITA to decode but it's a cold wallet, so I don't expect to do it very often. I don't even bother to remember the start link nor which type of link is a binary 1 or 0 since there are at most 4 ways to decode the chain (two directions and for each direction two different interpretation of the link). A test recovery on a HW is mandatory before declaring the chain a proper cold wallet :-) The chain can be buried or hidden somewhere, it's not that big. It is waterproof, fireproof and do not oxidize. What do you think? does it make any sense? How would you mark the links? (pinching, denting, twisting, weldin...

Source: https://coin.dance/nodes#nodeVersions Especially nodes running versions between 0.15 and 16.2 need to upgrade as soon as possible. A bug could be exploited to create an invalid block that gets nonetheless validated by these older versions. This makes a chainsplit a theoretical possibility. A full resync with the latest software (0.16.3) showed that the bug has not yet been exploited. It probably won't happen as it isn't in the interest of the ecosystem, nor is it easy to excecute.

New info escalates importance: upgrading to 0.16.3 is REQUIRED
- Get link

0.16.3 was announced a few days ago, but if you're running a node and haven't already updated, then you really must do so as soon as possible. The bug fixed in 0.16.3 is more severe than was previously made public. You can download 0.16.3 from bitcoin.org or bitcoincore.org or via BitTorrent , and as always, make sure that you verify the download . If you only occasionally run Bitcoin Core, then it's not necessary to run out and upgrade it right this second. However, you should upgrade it before you next run it. Stored funds are not at risk, and never were at risk. Even if the bug had been exploited to its full extent, the theoretical damage to stored funds would have been rolled back, exactly as it was in the value overflow incident . However, there is currently a small risk of a chainsplit. In a chainsplit, transactions could be reversed long after they are fully confirmed. Therefore, for the next week or so you should consider there to be a small possibility of an...

...and holy cow, does it work beautifully. I just made my first trade without any problems whatsoever. The setup was very fast due to the fact that there is no KYC bullshit or anything like that. I just created an account with my banking information and bam, made my first decentralized BTC exchange. It runs stable and the UI seems to be bug free, which stands in stark contrast to the piece of cabbage that is the kraken.com website (their support is amazing though I must say). And even though there are not so many active offers there at a time (today was great actually, since it was Bisq September Market Kick-Start Day ), I'm not worried at all that this is in fact the future of trading crypto.

- Other Apps
Hi all, I have just updated the free POS app ‘Pay me with Bitcoin’ to support Lightning Network, with the help of OpenNode.co . You can use USD, EUR, VEF and ARD as fiats currencies along Bitcoin (more currencies coming). No private keys are required, so is ideal for business and places where employees bring their own devices. The app is focused on Venezuelans because it uses market prices for Bolivar-Bitcoin conversions (powered by BitcoinVenezuela.com , and its sibling ONG). Availabe in Android and Windows 10 (desktop and mobile). We have put a lot of effort into making this app. We hope to help people improve their lives with Bitcoin! Please help us by sharing the app with people who might find it useful! You can read a bit more about the app in this post: I made an app to charge with bitcoin aimed to merchants (specially Venezuelans) : Thank you!

If you are currently running Bitcoin Core, then you should upgrade to 0.16.3 as soon as possible. You can download it from bitcoin.org or bitcoincore.org or via BitTorrent , and as always, make sure that you verify the download . If you only occasionally run Bitcoin Core, then it is less urgent, though it would be best to upgrade as soon as convenient. A bug was found which allows anyone capable of mining a sufficient-PoW block to crash Bitcoin Core nodes running versions 0.14.0 to 0.16.2. Stored funds are not at risk . Bitcoin Core derivatives such as Knots are also affected and have their own updates.

Censorship resistance Privacy User control of funds These are the 3 key reasons why decentralized exchanges are fundamental for Bitcoin to succeed.

And we have an ever increasing number of exchanges being forced or choosing to invade user privacy through KYC, AML and other intrusive (and exclusive) requirements... and then leaking or selling that information. Bisq is currently the best available option to exchange Bitcoin without sacrificing privacy, ceding control of your bitcoins to a third party or allowing censorship of any kind. Bisq is censorship-resistant : it runs over TOR and cannot be shut down or regulated. It is not a company or website, but rather a P2P network similar to BitTorrent or Bitcoin.

Improving Finland's crypto taxation

In early July 2018, Finland introduced one of the most punitive crypto taxation schemes in the world. All Bitcoin/crypto transactions are taxable events, and taxed against euro value. All wins are taxed as capital gains. Losses are not deductible. Mining income is considered salary for taxation purposes. The new tax rules single-handedly killed the industry in Finland. Nobody in their right mind would daytrade with this taxation, and even buying coffee with BTC would be a taxable event. I wrote multiple popular blogs about the topic, saying that this move will cause a lot of harm down the road, as Bitcoin and blockchain-based business grows and Finland will be left out completely. The lobbying worked and the tax administration took notice. On Monday the 17th of September, we have 4 of the country's leading blockchain activists gathered together with the tax administration to discuss changes. The crypto-community is still small, so we have to keep talking publicly about the...

For example, our "coins" are not stored in our "wallets". lol You can't just copy your physical wallet (the one in your pocket or handbag). You can go to a hardware store and copy a key (or ring full of keys), and both keys will open the same locks.

I have a few concerns about the Ledger hardware wallets and am hoping to generate some discussion about these, being that a huge percentage of the Bitcoin community relies on these devices to store their coins. I think this is extremely important and should be addressed and fleshed out thoroughly, once and for all. 1) The Ledger company admits that part of their device is not open source and that the code of the closed-sourced tech cannot be published due to non-disclosure agreements with the manufacturing company protecting the proprietary and secret technology. Huge security flaw. Seems like they could publish the code if they wanted and simply scramble the proprietary info. But even if they did, the hardware itself would still need to be audited. 2) To my knowledge, there has never been an independent audit performed on the Ledger's code or hardware by a third party. Is anyone aware of such an audit? 3) The Ledger CTO has said that using their device inherently requires the ...

With a recent surge in so-called decentralized cryptocurrency exchange platforms, peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange platform Bisq appears to be one of the very few to attempt serious decentralization.

Felix Moreno is one of just a few individuals who work on the decentralized P2P exchange platform Bisq openly. Most people working on it volunteer their services anonymously and for free. Why? Because, as Moreno told Bitcoin News, it is the ”holy grail” of decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges. Bitcoin News caught up with Moreno to discuss the logistics of running a nearly entirely decentralized exchange, why they will have to fight tooth and nail to keep it that way, and why know-your-customer (KYC) regulations are really just a way for the government to ge...

I am not in this for a quick buck. I didn’t sell when the price was over $10,000 and I’m not selling now. Or ever. Bitcoin is the only self sovereign money in the world and for me it is to be acquired and spent, but never ever sold for fiat. Why? Bitcoin has fundamental value and fiat does not. Bitcoin has scarcity which fiat does not. Bitcoin is permission-less and, unfortunately, fiat no longer is. Bitcoin is still new and the world is still discovering its value. The world is also rapidly discovering the lack of value in fiat. As bitcoin matures, as it survives every attack thrown at it, as more people discover it, bitcoin slowly causes a revolution towards sound money that is transmitable over the internet. It is one of a kind. (Note that all other altcoins are not sound money.) Although I could cash out and have enough fiat to last me for several years, my purchase of bitcoin was never to do that and I will not change the hypothesis behind why I originally bought bitcoin.

You guys need to realize how lucky we are right now to catch a break like this. This will be literally our last chance to own a single Bitcoin for a 4 digit price. During the bull run, did we all not wish we had bought/had more Bitcoin? I have started my DCA (dollar cost average) buys last month. I do two buys a month on dips, and I intend to DCA for 1-2 years until this bear market turns around. Goodluck out there and see you on the moon, it takes some time to get up there.
