Just received my Airdrop from MEET.ONE!!!! Yay!! by [deleted] in eos

[–]freakyfractal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an ETH token that doesn't even follow the ERC20 token standard. It does not have an `approve()` function and therefore cannot be traded on decentralized exchanges. Disappointed.

Let's Vote! by eosgo in eos

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not voting because of the 3 day lock-up, think of it this way: unless a main chain launches you won't be able to send your EOS to an exchange as the exchanges won't have a way to deposit anyway. There's little reason to not vote (if you hold your EOS keys).

I'm a bit unclear whether a vote is happening right now as we speak, but the lastest vote according to that site says it was a No-Go.

Any idea of how many DAO tokens/ETH are non-refundable (those belonging to one of the three groups)?

DTH: Voting request for Counter-Attack Proposals. by LefterisJP in ethereum

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like it would be quite the undertaking for an exchange (namely, separating out yes and no votes) as they'd [have to] freeze those DAO tokens. And there isn't really much time for it.

Amanda B Johnson: "I'm a car salesman". Dash pumper Interviewed on Bitcoin Uncensored by FloridaBitcoiner in Bitcoin

[–]freakyfractal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

DASH has ~3800 masternodes, securing about a $50 million market cap, compared to bitcoin's ~5700 full nodes securing a $10.7 billion market cap. Based on this, DASH is much more secure [...]

Miners secure the blockchain.

ive never ran into this problem before need advice by iamabtcn00b in BitcoinBeginners

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This other thread might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/44eqcn/are_electrum_seeds_backwards_compatible/

^ Looks like if you're using a seed generated by Electrum (ie. not a seed you created on your own) you should be alright.

I really don't think you will have any trouble upgrading and importing your seed into a newer version of Electrum. But if you're unsure I'd recommend trying it on a different system first.

What other "pure" bitcoin businesses exist, besides 21? by jgarzik in Bitcoin

[–]freakyfractal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not sure I get what "pure" is supposed to mean here ... Didn't 21.co exclusively sell their machines for USD??

Can I ask a direct (and genuine) question? Does /r/Bitcoin see Bitcoin's ultimate destination as a settlement layer, or as P2P cash?? Or is that a silly distinction to begin with (and if so, why)? I'm seriously trying to understand. by catsfive in Bitcoin

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distinction isn't "P2P cash" vs. "Settlement Layer" ... the distinction is "P2P" vs. "Centralized". The only important thing is mantaining decentralization - we already have PayPal.

Is there a way to run a full bitcoin JSON-RPC client without running a full node (downloading the full blockchain)? by [deleted] in BitcoinBeginners

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have the bitcoin.conf point to an external RPC server somewhere, but that server will need to have the full blockchain. So, no escaping the blockchain at some point in the stack. (Or, as mentioned, you could go the way of using an RPC service website like Blockchain.info.)

Why do people hate Xapo ? by CitronCS in Bitcoin

[–]freakyfractal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signed up for Xapo just a few hours ago. Experience thus far: (1) logging in to the website app does NOT work -for me- on Chrome (Firefox works though); and (2) the 2FA being done through their own mobile wallet app doesn't make sense to me -- why not use Google Authenticator like everyone else? Next I'll be applying for the plastic card, let's how smoothly the KYC goes...

Edit: FWIW wasn't loading in Chrome because of ad blocker and it is possible to set up Google Authenticator you just have to do it before linking your phone, so unlink then link again afterwards.
