What are /r/bitcoin_uncensored's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I run a few high traffic sites that get DDOS's regularly.

I've since ended up with the following winning combination.

Set up a NEW server with a new IP address. Then set up Nginx so it's serving your website through an IPv6 address not IPv4. Most Botnets aren't IPv6 capable. Cloudflare doesn't care and it'll proxy it for you. Then firewall off that IPv6 address so only cloudflare can access it using the list at https://www.cloudflare.com/ips

Then set up a Amazon S3 bucket for all your static assets (css, js, png's, jpg's, etc). Set up cloudflare so s3bucket-xtnodes.s3.amazon.com or whatever is CNAME aliased to static.xtnodes.com and then set a cloudflare rule so everything is heavily cached and it'll rarely, if ever, hit your S3 bucket. Then edit the HTML to point to your static asset host for all of that stuff.

For the dynamic PHP, consider making a quick Laravel PHP site and use an in-memory cache like Redis for all the dynamic stuff rather than a backend MySQL instance. MySQL uses disk too much, but Redis will help a lot.

If you skip the redis stuff, but want an infrastructure that can handle the DDOS, try nearlyfreespeech.net

I'm about to go to the park with my kids for a few hours, but if you want help setting it all up just get a VPS and update it and I can help you out in a few hours. I also have a ton of Amazon credits to burn that I'm happy to throw at the cause and some unused VPS's for redundant backends.

You should be able to handle this with a VPS with 1 or 2 gigs of memory as long as you have that front-end and back-end infrastructure in place and the DDOS asshats don't know your real IP address.

WTF. You should read this paper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf Bitcoin doesn't claim to be a payment platform for the world's commerce let alone anytime soon.

Bitcoin solves another problem LN claiming to solve a problem in Bitcoin that' Bitcoin does not claim to solve let alone have.

This intercept is over 4 years old. If the financial system (the subject was not the banking system in particular as the title indicates) was in such jeopardy in 2011, it would have been in crisis already. The government did work to clean up the financial system, and while it is far from healthy, it is not going to "pop like a cork" any time soon.

Scanning the markets 24/7 with multiple tickers from multiple sites. Here to thelp provide some updates to the cryptocurrency community considering so much is happening - very passionate about growing the community and making sure we are all as informed as possible.

Typing 80 WPM helps quite a bit too. Feel free to follow along on Medium for updates - I'm on Steemit too! - https://medium.com/@CrowdConscious - https://steemit.com/@crowdedmind

Hope I was able to help keep you informed a bit! Thanks for the comment RealZenfar :)

Clearing transactions will indeed have very large fees, but that doesn't mean it's beneficial. Simply because hubs will take their own fees. If these transaction were made on-chain (not compounded into one transaction by a hub), miners would get more in fees.

I agree however, that Lightning may benefit miners if it will process series of frequent enough (time between each is less than time between blocks) microtransactions, because the blockchain simply cannot be used for such transactions (e.g. "pay for every second" in streaming videos, "pay for each downloaded byte", etc.)

That being said, I'm not against Lightning in general, I'm against Blockstream pushing Lightning as a solution to replace ALL ordinary P2P on-chain transactions. I think people should be able to make on-chain transactions with reasonable fees. In the end, Bitcoin is "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Small blocks + Lightning will turn Bitcoin into a clearing system, which won't "allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution" (see https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)

This image is on the homepage of exodus.io which is a wallet, not a mining tool. There's clearly a few accounts working together here to try and promote a scam.

Comon guys, "FREE BITCOIN" is a scam. It's always a scam. There's not some secret that these guys have figured out, it's not an "amazing deal". It's a scam. Move on.

Edit: I'm unsubscribing to this sub. Unfortunately "uncensored" means "unmoderated" and all I ever see here are scams.

XT 0.11A has the following upgrades over Core:

• Bigger blocks

• Double spend relaying

• Better DoS attack defences

• BIP 65 / getutxos support

• DNS seed list refresh

I would be careful about using /u/StinkiePhish's service (no offense) unless you know exactly what you are doing and why you are doing it.

A lightweight wallet like Electrum would probably work better for OP. See https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet for pros and cons for different wallets.

> ajajaja that is why I used the ? sing at the end of the tittle

You used a question mark to make it seem (in what I assume you thought was a subtle way) like you were asking an innocent question, rather than, as you actually are, pumping a shitcoin that you've already invested in.

I, on the other hand, was purposefully very unsubtle about using sarcasm to express my opinion that your question was a very thinly veiled pump attempt.

To take your second question seriously:

> i bought 100$ of that Cloudcoins, but men at the begining almost no one belive in the bitcoin and now it worth most of 2k$ so why it can happen with this currency?

Why? Here's a few guesses:

• Bitcoin was alone in the world when it was created. CloudCoin is not.
• Bitcoin had first mover advantage. CloudCoin does not.
• Bitcoin wasn't being pumped by short-termist shills from its inception. It was adopted by people who wanted to overhaul the finance system before there was any way to convert it to fiat or before it even had a quantifiable value.
• Bitcoin's extended life span means that it has a vastly increased network effect compared to every other cryptocurrency, let alone compared to CloudCoin. The network effect is what gives all currencies (crypto or otherwise) value. That makes Bitcoin a very hard target. Not an impossible one of course, but you'll forgive me if I think that one of the hundreds of other cryptocurrencies with larger market capitalisation than CloudCoin are more likely to be the ones to usurp that position before CloudCoin does.
• Interesting that you already bought your $100 worth and are now asking the question about whether it can beat Bitcoin -- that's an odd way around for someone who isn't pumping, and is just querying for information, don't you think?

This article leaves out the scathing conclusion Peter Todd gave at the end of those statements.

>He added that this is good evidence that Lightning implementations are maturing to the point where they are at least a very good hub-and-spoke system.

Here is an article that included the statement, probably because the author didn't realize what it meant.

https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/04/23/bitcoin-lightning-network-network-capacity

He's very much against a hub-and-spoke model as it means LN will be centralized, giving too much control to the hub providers and will make it vulnerable to DOS attacks.

Access to the full blockchain is needed in order to create a transaction to spend/transfer those bitcoins out of the wallet. Fortunately, you do not need the full blockchain. You can generate and email us a watch-only wallet, we can generate the transaction for you to sign, you can sign the transaction and return it to us, and we can broadcast it. Your private keys are never provided to anyone, and your only privacy exposure is that the watch only wallet allows us to see all the addresses affiliated with that specific wallet. Since you are trying to move out of Armory and won't continue using the wallet, this is not a privacy concern.

This is a tutorial on creating a watch only wallet: https://bitcoinarmory.com/tutorials/armory-advanced-features/offline-wallets/watching-wallet/

Bitcism needs safer spaces and times, to share problem solving issues of error, research, expression, and developmwent at scope and scale to care. #bitwism(?

We need repeat www.getaether.net and https://matrix.org/beta/#/room/#bitcoin:matrix.org as evolving alternatives too.

At least /r/bitcoin_unmoderated (edit: aend /r/bitcoin_uncensored*) has begun serious #EmpathicDetermination. (<e3)

> borrow it first?

Yeah, most platforms that provides you with liquidity will allow you to short any coin. https://bitfinex.com is a well-known one.

Strictly speaking, no currency should be considered an investment. Perhaps if you were lending BTC on a platform, then it could be seen as a money market acct. or something.

It's revealing that BTC is something you're not allowed to talk about in public.

Already well past it as of a few hour ago—$7,350 on Bitfinex. It's crazy to think that with the all-time high (ATH), and every subsequent one that leaps onto the price charts, by definition everyone who's gone long bitcoin has profited. The same can't be said for those who've gone short or sunk cash into miners.

SFYL—BTC hit an ATH of 6,400 USD on Bitfinex a few hours ago and is already over 7,000 USD on U.S. p2p markets. BTC-e has always been shady, everyone knew that, and everyone else knew that everyone knew that.

Who has actually to agree to reach the now famous "consensus"? I thought it was just the developers with commit access, listed here: https://bitcoin.org/en/development

It seems to me(?) that the ones who oposes XT and/or large block are working for Blockstream or Viacoin. Do these companies have anything to win/loose based on large blocks that can handle a lot of transactions?!?! I think I read somewhere that blockstream was working on just such an addon, but I'm not sure....

Actually the latest torrent is pretty far behind, that combined with the new methods of downloading headers first and such, makes the difference in downloading + verifying vs download and verifying at same time about the same.

Link: https://bitcoin.org/bin/block-chain/README.txt

"As of Bitcoin Core version 0.10.0 and later, the block chain bootstrap torrent hosted here takes more time to download and import than it would to simply start Bitcoin Core and let it sync itself.

Just don't reveal your public address ever. It isn't difficult to do that if you are using a load balancer or cloud flare. Make sure you don't have any phpinfo files etc that leak this info and you are fine leaving it on IPv4.
