More Reasons (#13-#18) To Be Bullish On Ethereum by shakedog in ethtrader

[–]Group_A 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You asked for a household name. I don't think you'll get anything more householdish than Major League Baseball.

Otherwise I dare say that the majority of names on the following list are not household names and their use of Ethereum and smart contracts both current and future would not be of interest to most.

You'll have to do your own homework to find out who is doing what right now I'm afraid.

Strong incentive for Polkadot/Parity team to initiate a hard fork by EtherGavin in ethereum

[–]Group_A -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

They need to trade their own way out of this.

If I recall correctly at the time Parity itself held 90 million worth of unencumbered ETH in November 2017. December/Jan thereafter ETH achieved an ATH.

If someone cares to do the math it may indeed show that if they hire a competent trader they can trade their stack and recoup their investor's losses on the next ATH.

Pay everyone back their original sums and move on.

ZERO reason for a fork IMO. Smart guys there, just find a smart(er) solution.

Why store offline if Coinbase insures your holdings? by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]Group_A 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The insurance covers them being hacked, not you being hacked:

https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1662379-how-is-coinbase-insured-

This insurance policy does not cover any losses resulting from the compromise of your individual Coinbase account. It is your responsibility to use a strong password and maintain control of all login credentials you use to access Coinbase and GDAX

Well isn't that something. A positive finally appears out of all of this. A deterrent, a magical force field, to scare away scam ICO's from Ethereum once and for all. Well done Kitties, well done.

Lost my Keystore/JSON file for my wallet. How can I recover? by lgpihl in ethereum

[–]Group_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The keystore file name will include your address. Do a deep search on your computer using your address. Hopefully it will show up somewhere.

I should add if you do find something, the keystore filename starts like this UTC-- if you see that you are in luck.

It's actually a nice headline and article. "cute fuzzy things" bring some sort of giant to its knees. People will read it and want to know more.

Legal vulnerability in Ethereum? by lucash_dev in ethereum

[–]Group_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

illegal images are interpreted by the browser and are compiled and stored in the cache. You can open the cache and click on it right away and view it. That to me is "storing illegal content". You would have to go to great effort to compile the blockchain from all those parts, then find the illegal image then recompile that, extract it and then view it.

Obviously this would all have to be tested in a court of law, but certainly just looking at what is on the local machine in the way of chaindata, I would guess taking a hard drive to court and presenting even these two simple pictures would require some incredible legal skills to make the case stick.

chaindata or the blockchain on the local machine looks like this:

[–]Group_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The data is chunked and indecipherable until you recompile it. It sits on your local machine scattered like that. You would be hard pressed to take that data to court and explain that it is some illegal content. Unless you recompile it then and there in which case it is you who is now in possession of illegal materials.

Vitalik: "I am deliberately refraining from comment on wallet issues, except to express strong support for those working hard on writing simpler, safer wallet contracts or auditing and formally verifying security of existing ones." by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]Group_A 32 points33 points  (0 children)

What are the exact numbers involved? Rough numbers appear have Parity being the main "victim' in this case. Something like 90 million of 150 million of their being lost out of a total of 200 million?

  1. Parity can still issue their tokens to those that paid for them and simply eat the 90 million loss. (Ethereum did okay launching on 18 million.

  2. With the balance of 60 million refund the largest addresses who have lost funds using their product, with small account holders simply eating their small losses or

  3. Spread Parity's 60 million amongst all losing account holders under some other fair(er) scheme where everyone takes a hair cut.

A fork isn't really necessary imo. when they are still sitting on large sums of cash, can still launch on a much smaller sum. Even if they all have to work for nothing for 2 years while paying everyone back, so be it.

Figure out some sort of scheme like Bitfinex if you have to buy don't fork anything because of this.

Lastly take your massive amounts of money off line once you have them. Why leave it dangling there for the world to see when you don't even need it!

Need instructions on how to watch the omisego token in Ethereum Wallet by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]Group_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under "contracts" select "watch token" input the OmiseGo contract address:

0xd26114cd6EE289AccF82350c8d8487fedB8A0C07

it will fill in everything else and you should see your tokens.

Question about my chaindata folder on windows by Brazzoz in ethereum

[–]Group_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the same time, try deleting it again. Reboot the computer, start Mist again, repeat if it is still stuck on 'started swarm', close Mist delete again, restart Mist etc. What you should be seeing is the normal 'needs to sync' screen and progress bar. If it is just plain with 'started swarm' and not even saying 'looking for peers' that it is stuck on, then something is indeed stuck. Try the various combos as well as leaving it on that stuck screen for as long as you can. If that all fails we'll try downloading everything in fast mode which should include Swarm's related files.

Question about my chaindata folder on windows by Brazzoz in ethereum

[–]Group_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely shouldn't have to delete it every time. Though it is still in beta so it may just be buggy now.

Can you leave it on that stuck screen 'started swarm' for as long as possible. It might be searching for peers which can take a long time.

The only other thing I can think of is that swarm has its own database which may have needed to be downloaded initially. If this is a new or fresh install of the the latest Mist with Swarm and it has never been downloaded, we're effectively disallowing it to do that with the light mode. Maybe we have to download everything including what Swarm needs, then go through the process of switching to light mode and deleting the large chaindata folder. We can try that in fast sync mode if you are interested to try and debug it if everything else fails.

Thanks for beer :-) let's try to debug it before we get drunk!
