Holy ... That's incredible!

Thanks man. I will PM you later today

Hi cygan. That's good because now we both know what happened. If you wish to re-send it I could provide you with another address, where they will definitely find someone to receive the package.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If you don't wish to re-send it, because of the issue that happened, then it's totally fine by me too.

I like the idea and the implementation. I haven't checked the technical aspect of the code, but the structure and the outcome look good.

I have a similar BASH script in my signature. You can check it out in case you find it interesting too.

I would eat them all.

Feel free to check for yourself if you wish! I have no problem with that.

It says:

"No information about your package. We've checked all relevant couriers for..."

Hi cygan.

I am certain that the card will be returned to you from the mailing company.

I have no indication whatsoever about what happened. I have used a locker to receive it, but I haven't received anything yet.

Thus, I believe it must be on the way back to you.

It sucks, I know! But unfortunately, I haven't received the card...

One could argue that it's not a bug, but rather a feature to check whether the topic is still active (if any fox notices the intentional malfunction).
But as always, GazetaBitcoin is always there, noticing everything.

Hello my good friends.

Allow me to share my point of view on this topic.

You may (or may not) have noticed that I am writing a lot less than I used to.

This forum felt like a home to me, when I was struggling with understanding Bitcoin and how it works. Of course, I only consider myself to be a little more educated than I was when I joined the forum, but there is still lot to learn.

I have been a member in signature campaingns, I have developed some tools - just for extra knowledge - and I have always been interested in Bitcoin and almost nothing else.

I think that unfortunately this forum is occupied by:

1. people submiting poor answers just to earn some sats from signature campaigns.
2. people who try to scam, or promote fishing websites.
3. people who insult, swear and post death threats.
4. people who should moderate but they don't moderate at all!
5. people who are only interested in posting "will bitcoin reach 1 billion dollars per coin?" or even worse "will this shitcoin reach 1 quantillion dollars per token?".

Of course, there are some exceptions. There are some people who I have really been proud of exchanging ideas with. I will not name anyone, but of course, you all know who the valuable members are in this jungle.

I am not leaving the forum, I love it. But, I think it's simply because I am accustomed to loving it...

Don't forget: keep fighting the good fight! I will be here, for anyone who is genuinely interested in Bitcoin.

Haha well if you put it this way...
I mean, for some reason, I am reluctant with posts like this, but I am not necessarily suspicious. By that I mean, I am careful, but I have a more romantic approach, thinking that the interest in creating something unique is genuine.
I admit I am wrong...

Any info about it? Sounds like an intriguing case-study.

Well I understand everyone who is suspicious, I have come to a conclusion that there must be something shady here... But I have nothing to prove it, so I will just ignore the website and this thread.

I could help proving this statement 
Now, seriously, were you doing an experiment (for fun) ?
Personally, if I used something like that, I would definitely keep the phrases in paper backups, without ever mentioning or stating they had anything to do with Bitcoin.


Or use my tool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5488789 (Only kidding of course!)

apogio 70 71 please

One could argue that Bitcoin is a better implementation of cash. I totally agree with you, and it's good that you mention it for newer members to see it.

Correct, I think we must have made clear, since we have been a lot vocal about it, that in general, Bitcoin works better with coin control. Not only for privacy reasons, but also for better fee management.

Warning fo people who still haven't realised how important coin control is:

Your Bitcoin wallet -although digital- works exactly like your physical wallet not like your bank account.
If your Bitcoin wallet says: 0.15BTC, it means that all the UTXOs that you have in your wallet sum up to 0.15BTC, but you can spend each UTXO separately. Just like you could have $1000 in your physical wallet, but you could spend each dollar individually. In the bank account, there is only a digital balance and each time you spend money, it reduces the available amount respectively.
Imagine paying for a TV that costs $1000, using 200 x $5 bills. Wouldn't you try to find a more convenient way to pay? Like using 10 x $100 or 5 x $200?
Each actual dollar bill that you have in your physical wallet, corresponds to a UTXO that you hold in your Bitcoin wallet.

You must use UTXOs wisely because if you don't, you will end up either ruining your privacy, or -even worse- overpaying transaction fees.

I haven't received any notification from any courier company regarding my package, which makes me kind of sceptical about its whereabouts. I will let you know if I have any news. At the moment, I have no indication where it could be... As I said, I am using a public locker and I expect them to contact me as soon as the package has arrived, but I have not received any notification from the courier, nor from the locker service company... Anyway... I hope I will receive it soon.

@cygan, if the package is returned to you (for any reason), please contact me via PM.

There is a feature that I really like with BW and this feature is in the "Advanced" mode.
It's the ability to add your own entropy (which exists in other wallets too, but I haven't noticed it in a mobile wallet).

So the way I used it (for experiment - for the time being) is:
1. I downloaded and verified the BW APK from github.
2. I put it in a SD card.
3. I moved the SD card on a mobile device in which I run LineageOS. The device has never touched the internet. It was a cheap one that I bought, did a factory-reset, rooted it and added the custom OS.
4. I grabbed my dice and started playing around.
5. I used the dice to produce entropy and then fed that entropy into BW.

Pretty fun experiment (and I repeat, I know it's not very uncommon, but I liked it!)

1. Since I see Binance being mentioned here, I must say I was never - ever - ever able to understand the UI / UX of the platform.  Yeah, I know, I may be lazy, but I feel like the exchange is so full of information, that I can't always find what I need.

Note:  I don't use it currently - it may have changed

2. If you want to use a CEX, give a try to some exchanges that are Bitcoin only. I am only aware of a few that work in Europe, but I am sure you can find some of these anywhere in the world.

Does anybody know where MSTR store their coins? Is it in Coinbase, like the majority of the ETFs?
