1  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bitkit - self-custodial Wallet powering lightning & on-chain Bitcoin payments on: June 17, 2024, 10:00:24 PM
It has some good features like COIN CONTROL, Add a secret passphrase, boost transactions, but looking at the code, during the past days, many bugs were discovered, some of which were addressed in the current versions, but it is still a beta verison.
The features it contains are available to most wallets, and it is better not to use that wallet to manage your assets. Use it for experimental purposes only.

The payload sends part of the data, as the wallet file is encrypted and the Binance data requires two-factor authentication, but since you downloaded an unknown application, it will most likely open some side doors that enable it to know the password or record the two-factor matching code when you enter it in the browser.



Using closed source Chromium browsers comes with similar risks and requires complete trust in the developers, so it is better to use open source browsers or Tor.

What do you think about latest sharp rise of Short positions from Hedge Funds?
price tried to break the top of $73,100 several times, but each time a strong barrier was generated below $73,100, which means that the price will remain inside this triangle for a short period, as soon as we see a correction to $62,000 or we break $73,100.



It hits highest level since 2021 but will it affect Bitcoin price in coming months?

We will get an answer in the coming days, but inevitably before the end of June we will be either above 73 or below 62.

I am not a fan of politicians talking about Bitcoin. The more they know about what Bitcoin can offer, the more they will reject it. The coming period will witness economic wars between the United States, China, Russia, and Bitcoin, and Bitcoin’s entry into the political battle between these countries will not be beneficial. Bitcoin seems less sensitive to political variables, which is a positive thing because it can be a candidate for a safe haven, but if it is affected by political variables, it will be closer to stocks than gold.

Television presenter advertising a service related to recovering cryptocurrencies? It would make sense if you said that you are a developer or a university professor.
I didn't find any data about Kai Mill and to recover cryptocurrencies you need to know part of the private key, wallet seed, or an easy-to-guess password.

10  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How secured are Trezor Safe 3 ? on: May 30, 2024, 05:32:46 PM
I have always felt interested on using a hardware wallet by Trezor in a completely airgapped environment, but I have not had the opportunity to do so.
when you connect your wallet to a device connected to the Internet, your Trezor private key does not touch the Internet, and there is Secure Elements. Therefore, in theory, your private key is safe even if there is a virus on the device to which you connect Trezor with, but if you want the air-gapped option, you can connect it with air-gapped electrum wallet.

There are good open source options for true air-gapped wallets.

Where I stay for example, people find it difficult to pay for electricity because they don't have,what we do is to go to our neighborhood to charge in order to enable us do work or make use of our phone.
electricity bill for mining exceeds $100 and sometimes $XX,XXX . you need a rich neighbor not to notice this increase.
Many have been arrested and imprisoned for trying to mine with illegal electricity.

I get a blank screen. I don't know if the problem is on my side or server side.

To:@Z-tight
Question is about free txn acceleration, concern about our hashrate. No point paying then wait for long time to get block mined.
There are cases of using a bad wallet, broadcasting a transaction with very low fees and no RBF flag. In such cases, a paid service and confirmation within a day will be better than waiting for weeks.

Do you have any policy regarding transactions, such as blacklists, or if I broadcasts a transaction from a blacklist address, will it be accepted?
13  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Hi From Spiderpool! on: May 14, 2024, 12:05:49 PM
We're also doing free Txn Accelerations soon!
This looks great, your pool is good https://mempool.space/mining/pool/spiderpool, but with a 1% chance of finding a block every day, this service may not be fast, so it is better to be a paid service to add transactions with small sat/vB and will be a good solution instead of free Txn Accelerations.

15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Metaplanet Makes Bitcoin a Reserve Asset As Japan’s Debt Mountain Grows on: May 13, 2024, 11:49:06 AM
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has adopted bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic reserve asset as a hedge against Japan's debt burden and the resulting volatility in the yen.

Quote
"Metaplanet has adopted bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset. The move is a direct response to sustained economic pressures in Japan, notably high government debt levels, prolonged periods of negative real interest rates, and the consequently weak yen," the company said in the press release on Monday.
Since April, Metaplanet has acquired 117.7 BTC ($7.19 million), following the strategy pursued by U.S.-listed MicroStrategy (MSTR), which has acquired several billion dollars worth of bitcoin, per Bitcointreasuries.net. Metaplanet, an early-stage investment firm, has moved away from any involvement in Web3 and is now only focused on bitcoin alongside exposure to commercial real estate.

https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/05/13/metaplanet-makes-bitcoin-a-reserve-asset-as-japans-debt-mountain-grows/

117 bitcoin is small investment, but compared to the value of the company, taking Bitcoin as a reserve is a serious step, the high debts prevented the Bank of Japan (BOJ) from raising interest rates in conjunction with the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed), and interest rates are low and yen value decreases has made Bitcoin a good reserve.
16  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: High Fees on Electrum? Normal? on: May 13, 2024, 10:05:02 AM
Is the number of coin control inputs going to matter? is it going to affect the transaction speed or its just a matter of privacy?
If you are in a hurry now, use coincortol to reduce your transaction fees, but in the future you can reduce the fees  by collecting all your outputs in one input by sending all to address you control but you need to wait until the transaction fees are less than 8 sat/vB.

8* 2045= ~$10.32
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding dormant wallets for beginners on: May 12, 2024, 02:12:15 PM
In addition to what was mentioned, we cannot describe wallets as a hibernated wallet or a dormant wallet. wallet is a software that controls and manages the private key. This description applies to addresses, and an address that has been dormant for more than 8 years is the only one that deserves to be described as dormant, as we do not use Bitcoin daily.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools is ineffective: it may even help criminals on: May 12, 2024, 01:58:47 PM

Well funded criminal organizations will probably just set up some sort of phony anonymous exchange that they run. Get other peoples coins and send out theirs.
These organizations have the ability to mix money and hide its source, even without using mixers, but hiding the source of millions of dollars is not an easy matter, and I do not think they will trust a single mixer that may sell them data.
Criminals always leave their traces, and after more than 5 years, using chain hopping to move between several blockchains, and using fake identities to create online accounts, the authorities were able to arrest them.


The criminal complaint alleges that Lichtenstein and Morgan employed numerous sophisticated laundering techniques, including using fictitious identities to set up online accounts; utilizing computer programs to automate transactions, a laundering technique that allows for many transactions to take place in a short period of time; depositing the stolen funds into accounts at a variety of virtual currency exchanges and darknet markets and then withdrawing the funds, which obfuscates the trail of the transaction history by breaking up the fund flow; converting bitcoin to other forms of virtual currency, including anonymity-enhanced virtual currency (AEC), in a practice known as “chain hopping”; and using U.S.-based business accounts to legitimize their banking activity.
Two Arrested for Alleged Conspiracy to Launder $4.5 Billion in Stolen Cryptocurrency

The only harmed by the closing of the mixers are those who want to enjoy privacy, as their alternatives will be limited and more complicated than using the mixers.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: can't mixed cons be deposited into a centralized exchange on: May 12, 2024, 12:22:20 PM
It is not possible to know that the coins come from the mixers, but it is possible to trace the distinctive fingerprint, which either
  • Fixed withdrawals, as happens in coinJoin or was happening in chipmixer.
  • Large transactions where the transaction contains several inputs and outputs.

Some blenders do not have this fingerprint, so it is difficult to determine if the deposits come from mixers, so all they do is trace the two fingerprints above.

If you want to deposit to CEX, send it to a new address that you have not used before, and they will not be able to know that you used a mixer.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I was holding on to Ledger and I got robbed on: May 11, 2024, 12:53:52 PM

The timeline of the transactions is unusual. Your dogecoin was transferred out on 4 Jan. Then, the thief took a break until the next morning when the Litecoin was moved. They then took another break of 6 hours before moving some more coins. It's very weird. Normally, a thief would look to take everything at once. But here, more than 24 hours passed between the first and last transaction that is visible on the screenshot.
Not only that, but the same Ethereum address was used to withdrawal ETH and Livepeer token. The same thing happened to Dogecoin, so I do not think that hacker has a deep knowledge about cryptocurrencies and I am sure that will use his personal data to create a Binance account.
