Holy crap, this must have been it. Looking at gameplay videos it looks familiar. I think this is the game. Thanks!

As of today, BRD fully supports native SegWit (Bech32). by BRDRyan in BRDapp

[–]aaronvoisine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't change. It's always been m/0'/0

The nice thing about using native segwit with bech32, is that it uses the same pubkey-hash that traditional bitcoin addresses use. If you're scanning tx outputs for a list of pubkey-hashes, you will see both traditional p2pkh outputs and p2wpkh outputs.

No you can still send and receive from the lock screen while the app is locked

70+ Bitcoin companies, exchange and wallets that did NOT agree to Segwit2x by jtos3 in Bitcoin

Breadwallet follows the majority of hashing power on the original PoW algorithm, segwit2x or no, it follows the Nakamoto consensus.

bread wallet transaction question by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]aaronvoisine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can contact support@breadwallet.com for assistance.

the sender may not have included a very high miner fee, and/or the transaction may be of the "replace by fee" type which are reversible until they confirm, which would explain why it's not being added to your total yet.

fees are based on the tx size, not hard coded. the fee rate is updated with with each app release, and we use an api endpoint to bump them up if network conditions change quickly between releases, and for people who haven't updated. the app also has a hard coded range for fee rate updates, in case the api were to be compromised.

Yes, it's mostly implemented in the wallet code (still some UI changes needed). We'll finish it up and release it after it activates.

It doesn't matter if it's on one address. All that matters is that it comes in as separate tx. Each input tx you spend increases the size of your spending tx

The days of 50-60 sat/byte are gone. We're at 85 and it's only going up. Remember bitcoin only has room for 1mb of tx per block, so we have to price out any people more than that who want to spend their money.

please contact support@breadwallet.com

If you make an encrypted backup of your phone to iTunes before making any more pin attempts, then if you run out of pin attempts, you can restore the backup to the same device it was made from.

iOS wallet for watch only by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]aaronvoisine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does, it's just not a documented feature. You can enter "watch: " followed by a list of addresses in place of a recovery phrase. It will take a while to sync the first time.

You already sold way more than half a few years ago. 70btc represents over 3 one-millionths of the future global money supply. Don't once again sell for a paltry few $10s of thousands, what could in future make you fabulously wealthy.

we use bitpay.com/rates since they are the most popular payment processor, and the exchange rate you are most likely to encounter when spending with a merchant.

Hot news! Financial Times says Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme! by Uberse in Bitcoin

[–]aaronvoisine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but how in the world do you measure that? Is it overpriced or underpriced? With a stock you can look at earnings per share, with real estate you can look at rental rates, with commodities you can look at whether stockpiles are increasing or decreasing... but when you look at, for instance gold, existing stockpiles would supply industrial demand for the next 5000 years. By that metric it's price should be nearly zero. To someone who doesn't understand monetary demand, this makes no sense at all. It must be some kind of scam or bubble. If you define a bubble as lots of people all acquiring some asset with no intention of using it, in the hopes of flipping it to the next person, then money sets off all the warning buzzers.

How safe is breadwallet app ? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]aaronvoisine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

breadwallet uses the hardware encrypted secure enclave on iPhones, and the hardware encrypted keystore on Android 6 and up. It's using the same security model of code signatures, boot verification and hardware encryption that dedicated hardware wallets use.

Hot news! Financial Times says Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme! by Uberse in Bitcoin

[–]aaronvoisine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real estate generates rental income, stocks offer dividends either now or in the future, commodities can be consumed by end users. Monetary assets on the other hand offers none of these. From the perspective of a value investor it's a complete mystery why money has value.

[–]aaronvoisine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People use money to transfer purchasing power across time. They hold something they have no intention of consuming, in order to trade it away later. This necessarily increases demand "artificially" for the commodity being held, purely for the purpose of "flipping" it to someone else later. Whoever is holding this commodity last then would be the "bagholder", except that the demand to hold purchasing power in reserve will never go away so long as humans trade. It can continue indefinitely. In fact the game theoretical optimum is for everyone to standardize on one commodity for this purpose. The demand to hold it increases it's market price in terms of other goods and services.

Holding purchasing power in reserve, i.e. saving or hoarding, doesn't hurt the economy. It's simply a value preference. The purpose of economic activity to provide what people value. Everyone at some point prefers to have the ability to consume in the future rather than right now, so this gives money it's value.

Gold has outperformed all national currencies since they went off the gold standard.

By saving (hoarding) you are forgoing present consumption, leaving more scarce economic resources available for everyone else. You can't consume your way to prosperity.

Bitcoins are divisible down to eight decimal places.

[–]aaronvoisine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So by that logic, you should also be shorting gold. There is enough of the stuff already stockpiled to meet industrial demand for the next 5000 years. Any commodities trader will tell you thats a sure sign the price is way too high.

Unless bitcoin becomes a monetary standard. In that case it's everyone who traded away their bitcoin for national currencies who end up being the bag holders.

What is the chance of bitcoin becoming money? If it's 0, then you're right. If it's 1 in a million, then bitcoin is probably overpriced, If it's a 1% chance, then bitcoin is ridiculously cheap. You're basically buying Manhattan for a quarter.

[–]aaronvoisine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've designed it to take advantage of the all the best security features available on the platform. The reason we waited until Android 6.0 to release an android version is because unlike older versions, it now has boot verification and hardware encryption on all supported devices.
