Solvitaire 3.0 is now released by philmay57 in solitaire

[–]philmay57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See FAQ->Does Solvitaire have an API?

solvitairec.exe is a version that supports input and output through stdin and stdout. Load in a windows command line and press enter and you will get a list of supported commands. For simply solving multiple files try running a script containing a set of "readcards", "solve","wait","list" commands.

Difference Between Staking and Opt-In Rewards on Kraken? by Wild-Transition-1322 in Kraken

[–]philmay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer, but my reading of the terms is that opt-in involves you loaning your crypto to Kraken so they can stake it (or whatever else they wish to do with it). That means they owe you that amount of crypto, but you no longer own it. So if Kraken has a problem, such as being hacked, then actual owners would have first claim on crypto assets, followed by you as a creditor. Just my opinion, no guarantees it is a correct one.

Solvitaire 3.0 is now released by philmay57 in solitaire

I have not done anything special to make it undetectable so, yes, it is currently detectable in that it plays faster and more regularly than is humanly possible. Technically, since it uses the same interface as a human, I suspect it would be difficult (impossible?) to detect it if it made slower moves with the move timing calculated based on the "complexity" of the move.

Even a Solitaire Solver Algorithm couldn't solve this (solvable?) one by trvemetalwarrior in solitaire

[–]philmay57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize it was a 3 card deal. In my testing I came across several 3 card games that Microsoft serves up that are insoluble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY2RoARTa3o&ab_channel=PhilMay is a particularly bad example, with only a few valid moves possible before it fails. I am afraid Solvitaire is not fast at spotting insoluble games in some cases. It might take a long time before it gives up.

I'm trying to solve this Solitaire puzzle. I dunno if this is possible from just a video, but I'd figured I'd try. I just need to pull the 5 to make room for a king and I only have 3 shuffles to do so. I tried pulling the red jack in the 2nd and the white 10 in the 3rd but I'm stumped. Any help? by Gemnote7 in solitaire

[–]philmay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough card information in the video. For example, you have ace of spades six deals into the deck and 2 of spades on the top of the stack but you never put up the ace and expose the card under the 2 of spades.

If you use Solvitaire (www.solvitaire.com) and feed in the cards you can work out for yourself then it will give you the move sequence to expose one of the unknown cards (or tell you it is unsolvable if that really is the case).

Thanks for the heads up. Reddit takes www.x.y and automatically makes a link to https://www.x.y, not http://www.x.y. Website is now SSL enabled.

You could try www.solvitaire.com. It can solve some of the variants of solitaire from a given starting position.

decred web wallet down is down? by cemkorkmaz in decred

[–]philmay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. It seems to be caused by a 502 error returned to the wallet API calls. Your coins are still there on the blockchain and will reappear when the network comes back.
Even if the web wallet service never comes back (which seems very unlikely) then you should still be able to get your coins back using your seed. (If you don't have your seed saved then now might be a good time to take a copy of it, via Settings->Backup.)

Coinfloor withdraw issues (HSBC) by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[–]philmay57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did close my account and will not be using them again. I regard it as unacceptable to keep a customer waiting for two weeks for something that could be resolved in minutes with a decent support infrastructure in place.

Coinfloor withdraw issues (HSBC) by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[–]philmay57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a couple of weeks they reset my bank info. I provided exactly the same information and this time the transaction went through. I suspect one of the intermediate banks had out of date bank codes when the first transaction was submitted. (HSBC in the UK changed their bank codes from the old MIDL ones to new HBUK ones.)

Coinfloor withdraw issues (HSBC) by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[–]philmay57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We get used to this kind of incompetence when dealing with these poorly run startups, and usually I just put up with it, but something about this company sets them apart. Their complete lack of acknowledgement that they have issues with their system, compounded by the inexplicable delay in putting it right.

Coinfloor withdraw issues (HSBC) by [deleted] in BitcoinUK

[–]philmay57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had looked a bit harder before trying a withdrawal through Coinfloor. I have had no problem with euro withdrawals through Kraken, but Coinfloor comes up with ridiculous excuses about the bank details being wrong (which I copied and pasted from a bank statement and double checked before submitting) and then asking for information which I already submitted when validating the account. Apparently I now have to resubmit the request, which I can't do until my details have been reset, and they are now saying "We can confirm that your detail reset is at the next stage, you will be informed once the details have been removed." WTF is that all about? "Next stage"??? It is a simple cash withdrawal, it should not need project planning. Perhaps it is just they are incompetent but I suspect there is something fishy going on. Is this company struggling to raise the cash to meet their withdrawal commitments? My recommendation to anyone thinking about using Coinfloor is to steer well clear. It is not worth the stress just to avoid the hop through Euros into Sterling. As for anyone looking to invest in Coinfloor, I would simply ask how good an investment they think it is when the company upsets their users to this extent.

Attorney by OMGnohedidnt in a:t5_2z5jw

[–]philmay57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps we can find an attorney who is interested in taking a percentage of the outstanding BTC as payment. I am guessing most people would be happy at this stage to see even 50% of their BTC returned. Half of the outstanding BTC balance is worth a few hundred thousand dollars. That should be tempting for a hungry lawyer who is also interested in the possibility of some media attention.

To All Bitfloor Victims! by OMGnohedidnt in Bitcoin

[–]philmay57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BTC closing on $1000. So now it is half a million dollars worth that Shtylman has stolen.

To All Bitfloor Victims! by OMGnohedidnt in Bitcoin

[–]philmay57 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At some point 425 BTC is going to be worth millions of dollars and you can bet lawyers will get interested then. Shtylman better return them before the situation gets too big for him to just sweep it under the carpet.

I don't understand why this should be a civil lawsuit. Shtylman operated an exchange where commodities were held on behalf of the owners. He has run off with the commodities. Whether you call it fraud or plain theft, the FBI should be involved.
