101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 100% of Bitcoin Pre-mimed In the first block- 21m in circulation. on: October 10, 2023, 10:52:17 AM
As far as I know, Bitcoin wasn't premined and since there are no facts to backup the claims, I'd say it just conspiracy theories and most conspiracy theories are not profitable to explore.
If you can not remember, you can easily check fact with Bitcoin public ledger. If you don't run your Bitcoin full node, you can check it with Bitcoin block explorers.

Bitcoin has a public ledger and all information about past blocks, transactions, new bitcoins added into circulating supply can all be checked with Block explorers.
List of useful Bitcoin block explorers.

If there is premined bitcoins, Satoshi Nakamoto can not hide it in Bitcoin source code and surely can not hide it from full nodes or Bitcoin block explorers.

I always follow their giveaway events on Twitter, including guessing this, but we haven't found the winner yet and it will close on October 1. Today, I have guessed that the market will be green this October until the end of the year, but we are not asked to guess the price of Bitcoin, maybe that will make it easier Looking for winners and this giveaway can really be fair with correct guesses, not random luck from the team.
Besides giveaways, promotion events that surely are enjoyable for Rollbit users as they will get free spins, free money to play, I recommend all Rollbit users to follow Rollbit's X (Twitter) account because they will get updates on Rollbit's report on the casino revenue as well as their buy back and burn program.

They will get figures on how many tokens bought back and burned. How many percent it is in the $RLB token total supply.

Like this latest round that burned 40,326,428 coins (~1.265% of the circulating supply)!

Dealing with copying of multiple links could be frustrating sometimes as you have to go to the url to highlight,then copy, to me the is still stressful  besides not all users know about Extensions.
Copying links and pasting them to note-taking applications.

Use note-taking apps on mobile if you don't want to lose your contents

So how about me copying  an old user post as a reply without  using quotes. I get adding this feature might bring some reset which might affect in some cases that I will want to avoid . It's just a proposal mates!
No source link, no quote, it is plagiarism and you will be banned.

Composing a post content on mobile devices is painful. When you need to copy & paste url links, edit contents, it needs a lot more time than on PC. After finishing content, you can get error notification when click on Posting because some other users made their posts when you are composing. If you are not careful, click on back on the browser will cause you to lose your content if you don't save it somewhere else.

It's time to consider Note-taking applications to avoid content loss.

105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to keep safe the mnemonic phrase - Whats Your method? on: September 28, 2023, 11:17:57 AM
If you write the seed phrase in a special book and are afraid other people can access it, you can use tricks like changing 1 or 2 positions of the words. That way, even if someone steals your phrase, they can't access your wallet. (You just need to change the position of the two words, no need to change too much to confuse yourself).
Backup your wallet seed as most simplest as possible but make sure you store your backup safely and avoid eyes of other people.

Don't try to trick others and consequently trap yourself with a risky backup method. Changing positions of 1, 2 or 3 words in your wallet seed is a terrible idea. You will need to remember it, need to have a note for these positions but if you lose those position order by a memory loss, note loss, you will need luckiness to recover your wallet seed.

106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Several developers, miners, and researchers reported that Bitcoin mining develop on: September 28, 2023, 11:14:17 AM
Anonymous Bitcoin developer 0xB10C said in his post on Twitter that MaraPool was warned about a "transaction order problem".
You can find him in https://bitcoindevlist.com/ (Bitcoin Donation Portal) for Bitcoin developers.

This developer has some amazing projects like Mining pool observer (Conflicting transactions).

This situation is not new, blocks get orphan constantly
This is not what happened. Orphaned blocks are valid blocks, they just belong on a less-worked chain and are therefore ignored.
Orphan blocks also called as Stale blocks.

What is Orphan blocks

Quote
Usually when people say "orphan block", they mean a Stale Block, which is a well-formed block which is no longer part of the difficultywise-longest and well-formed blockchain. The Block Reward in a stale block is no longer spendable on the difficultywise-longest and well-formed blockchain; therefore whoever mined that block does not actually get the reward (or the transaction fees). This phenomenon must be taken into account by mining pools that use any payout strategy other than "proportional".

Conceptually, calling the above type of block an orphan block doesn't make any sense, since it does have a parent. Indeed, in the Bitcoin source code and in more technical discussions, orphan blocks and stale blocks are two separate things: both are not part of the longest valid chain, but in an orphan block it is because the parent is unknown, whereas in a stale block it is because that part of the chain is known to no longer be longest. However, in general discussions people almost always mean "stale block" but say "orphan block".

In Mastering Bitcoin book, Andreas Antonopoulos explained more about orphan transactions and how pools handle those transactions.
Transaction pools
Quote
Almost every node on the Bitcoin network maintains a temporary list of unconfirmed transactions called the memory pool, mempool, or transaction pool. Nodes use this pool to keep track of transactions that are known to the network but are not yet included in the blockchain. For example, a wallet node will use the transaction pool to track incoming payments to the user’s wallet that have been received on the network but are not yet confirmed.

As transactions are received and verified, they are added to the transaction pool and relayed to the neighboring nodes to propagate on the network.

Some node implementations also maintain a separate pool of orphaned transactions. If a transaction’s inputs refer to a transaction that is not yet known, such as a missing parent, the orphan transaction will be stored temporarily in the orphan pool until the parent transaction arrives.

When a transaction is added to the transaction pool, the orphan pool is checked for any orphans that reference this transaction’s outputs (its children). Any matching orphans are then validated. If valid, they are removed from the orphan pool and added to the transaction pool, completing the chain that started with the parent transaction. In light of the newly added transaction, which is no longer an orphan, the process is repeated recursively looking for any further descendants, until no more descendants are found. Through this process, the arrival of a parent transaction triggers a cascade reconstruction of an entire chain of interdependent transactions by re-uniting the orphans with their parents all the way down the chain.

Both the transaction pool and orphan pool (where implemented) are stored in local memory and are not saved on persistent storage; rather, they are dynamically populated from incoming network messages. When a node starts, both pools are empty and are gradually populated with new transactions received on the network.

Some implementations of the Bitcoin client also maintain an UTXO database or pool, which is the set of all unspent outputs on the blockchain. Bitcoin Core users will find it in the chainstate/ folder of their client’s data directory. Although the name "UTXO pool" sounds similar to the transaction pool, it represents a different set of data. Unlike the transaction and orphan pools, the UTXO pool is not initialized empty but instead contains millions of entries of unspent transaction outputs, everything that is unspent from all the way back to the genesis block. The UTXO pool may be housed in local memory or as an indexed database table on persistent storage.

Whereas the transaction and orphan pools represent a single node’s local perspective and might vary significantly from node to node depending upon when the node was started or restarted, the UTXO pool represents the emergent consensus of the network and therefore will vary little between nodes. Furthermore, the transaction and orphan pools only contain unconfirmed transactions, while the UTXO pool only contains confirmed outputs.

Because 99% of the people saying that the "whales are manipulating the markets" has no basis at all and are just saying that so they have someone to blame for their bad trades.
They know whales are manipulating the market, scammers are creating new games to steal money from unwise investors like them but they ignore all risks and easily spend money in altcoin projects. They do it easily but unwisely because they are greedy and always want to find opportunities anywhere they can.

They are not experienced enough to know great chances they see are actually big risks that will cause them very big losses. Whales manipulate market is not important and wise investors will not lose money by whale manipulation because they buy and hold, no leverage use, futures trading, hence they are safe.
108  Other / Archival / Re: 🐱 [banned mixer] - The Cutest Bitcoin Mixer! on: September 27, 2023, 02:40:20 AM
It's funny, but I don't see a single phishing site similar to Mixy. I guess this is not very good news (in the sense that it just means that Mixy does not seem to be very popular among mixers, so it is probably not profitable for scammers to engage in phishing).  Although maybe I'm wrong. Smiley
Bad people who want to run phishing sites don't make considerable inputs for their phishing efforts. Copying a website UI, making a domain or even creating a customized Onion domain are not big inputs from them.

It is not true to say they will get profit or no profit. Very limited inputs for phishing and some victims are enough to make they are profitable. I guess they don't spend more than a few hundred of dollar for phishing inputs.

Best reply with you can be not a best reply with me. Because you have your knowledge that is different than me. What you need, what can help you can be different than what can help me. A post is helpful with you can not be helpful with me because I already know about that knowledge.

If a best reply is only based on its received merit, it is not correct too. Received merits can be emotionally distributed by merit sources and how thin or deep their sourced merits is at a time they click on Merit. Received merit can be from farm accounts too so it does not good to use for choosing a best reply.
110  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just a friendly advice/reminder on: September 26, 2023, 11:43:19 AM
This was because I noticed most legendary,Hero and some senior members on this forum don't make replies to threads based on something they read from a random article most times but based on their experience in that particular field of Bitcoin.
To have experience, they had to read a lot articles, guides, analysis, on chain metrics and spent years for experience. They don't make posts without knowledge, experience and reading.

Their posts can have links to articles, figures or onoy have text but it contains some facts about Bitcoin.

If you leave a link to an article with low quality, it does not help your post to have better quality. Quality is from what you write.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2023/24 | Qualifiers on: September 22, 2023, 11:05:40 AM
I understood Klopp's choices. Liverpool currently have a ton of talents available for celebration and a lot of them have featured for little to no time in the premier league this season.
With many talented players, Klopp has to choose players and allow them to play as they all deserve chances to play. If they don't have opportunities for playing, some players feel disappointed will find other ways, leaving the club. It is not what Klopp want to see and if it happens, Liverpool will have weaker and less deep squad.

Quote
Nunez for example have been coming on for Liverpool from the bench - Gakpo is selected ahead of him in a premier league match day. The Europa league is a superb option to field a B-team in order to give others the opportunity to shine. That was why Kelleher was selected ahead of  Allison and Bajcetic was selected ahead of Gomez for the right back position.
Nunez improves a lot with his second season for Liverpool and he is important for them in Premier League that is higher prioritized than Europa League. Klopp has to reserve and protect feet of star players for most important target.

Quote
Europa is an opportunity for Klopp to field players that get little to no playing time in the premier league.
It is a smaller competition than Champions League but winning it is cool. Kloppa and Liverpool will make choice when time comes but will they win Europa League but not Premier League? It is still a successful season for them so they don't under value importance of Europa League.

Don't use your PC to mine cryptocurrency, it will be burnt very quickly and mining with PC is not profitable.

It costs you more money to buy a new PC or replace some hardware equipment for that PC and one more risk, by using some mining softwares, your PC can be infected with trojan, malware, virus and hackers can steal your cryptocurrency stored on that PC.

Just don't try to find small profit and lose bigger capital.

In many cases, we keep the Auto Renewal system on at various places so that when the subscription period of this item expires, the time is instantly renewed.  This is possible because the bank is a centralized platform and has an authority team to manage it.  But if Bitcoin is accepted for payment like Debit/Credit Card everywhere around the world.  In that case how Bitcoin can provide auto renewal system where we use non-custodial wallet to hold Bitcoin.  Which has full access to us, no one can control it if they want. what to you think about it. How Bitcoin can provide Subscription Auto Renewal solution?
You must use script to auto broadcast your bitcoin transactions if you want to do Subscription Auto Renewal process.

If you are an individual user, you don't have to do this but if you are a business, it's a good solution. You can code your script or use some payment processor account.

You can use NLockTime for your raw transaction.

2. Network: This is not the networking that others think of here. This is not inviting acquaintances or friends to scam you. What I'm saying is "building a network." When you build a connection, for example, by simply helping your neighbor, it can give you or us a network because we meet different people every day. Who knows, one day or not, we know that our neighbor will help us one day so that you can have a good opportunity or job or have a good client. Even on the internet, connecting with like-minded people like us can go a long way toward your advancement.
A network includes many people will be perfect for Ponzi and scam altcoins. I am sure when you are a member in a cryptocurrency community like a group of people, you will be exposed with many lectures, invitation, introduction on potential projects.

I don't think many people are able to do their own research well enough to avoid scam projects. So the more exposure you get, assumes you get it from your community, network, the more risky chance you will invest in scam projects.

Learn, do your own research and don't join any network.
116  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: No matter the pressure don't release on: September 21, 2023, 10:27:55 AM
It is very common sometimes when we trade on exchange p2p payment delays,  these delay can be from the buyer's bank or seller bank's.  Many people have lose their money due to this delay of bank network thinking that the problem of the delay is from the network of bank which they will later get their money when the network of their bank becomes good and they go ahead to release the payment because of  evidence of payment that the other trader have sent to show as proof.
They were scammed not because of bank transfer delay but because scammers told lies to scam naive traders. That scam trade partner actually does not proceed a bank transfer for the victim. Borrowing a reason like bank delays the transfer to complete a trade between two trade partners is easiest way to lie.

The key rule to avoid scam in peer to peer trading is DON'T release your coins if you have yet received payment from your trade partner. Ignore all things your trade partner chat with you, if you don't receive payment, don't release. You won't be marked as a bad trader because you refuse to release coin in such situation.

Release coin first, before receiving your payment, means you will lose your coin forever. Scammers are very quickly to withdraw coins from successful scam trades and it's not enough time for you to get support from exchanges.

Take a look at Where to spend Bitcoin? by Ratimov to know where you can use crypto for getting services and many other stuff.
If you can pay directly through bitcoin, it is good and convenient but even you can not, it's not the end of the world. You can sell your bitcoin and use fiat currency to pay those services. I don't think it is too much different from on chain transaction fee, trading fee. It will require some additional fee but not too much.

The thread by Ratimov is a big one but after some years, it needs to have update as I believe some websites are no longer working in 2023.
118  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The excitement of the bull run news on: September 21, 2023, 01:59:22 AM
However, there is something needed to keep oneself in shape, it is best to study past bull run history, how the bull run began after halving, how it lasted and how the bear market kicked in.
A bull run begins from a bear market, like today this year. It does not start after a halving because halving is only a tip of iceberg but without a bear market that lasts long to wash the market out, a bull run will never come.

To have a bull run, the market must get rid of weak hands from the past bull run, last market cycle and reduce selling pressure in a new bull run. Halving helps to get more new investors and their capital, to increase buying demand but at the same time, bull run will be more easily and hotter when weak hands already washed out or liquidated.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 20, 2023, 01:25:59 AM
Roma have a busy schedule this week and I think they must be able to manage as well as possible to maintain fitness in each game. Roma will face Sheriff in tomorrow's match with the capital of a big win which will be a big motivation for Roma players to steal points in tomorrow's match.
Roma squad was improved with summer transfer as they got some good players like Lukaku, Azmoun, Paredes, Renato, Christensen, Auoar to have a deeper squad. Unfortunately they still have some injured players like their captain Pellegrini or Abraham. Roma will need those players to come back if they go far in Europa League.

Quote
The big win over Empoli did not show Roma's full strength because the opponents they faced were indeed a weak team. Well, when they were beaten by AC Milan in front of their supporters, it gave a big meaning that they haven't been very strong this season but they can do that if they can maintain their best form. Even Roma has strong competition this season such as Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli. So Roma must be able to maintain their chances by getting 3 points in the upcoming match
The emphatic win is important for Roma. It helps them to stop the crisis and it boosts Roma confidence up a lot. The coming match in Europa League will be a home-away match but with an opponent like Sheriff, Roma are able to take three points even at a home-away stadium. Mourinho and many Roma players will want to repeat their success in the past season, have another Europa League final match and complete it better, take another cup from Europe to the club.

Mourinho will finish his current contract with Roma after this season and I don't know he will sign a new contract with them or leave but it will be a happy ending for this contract if they can win Europa League.
120  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: To Deal with Resistance and Support on: September 20, 2023, 01:19:58 AM
At the same price or in a same price range, resistance and support will change its role with time. At some point of time, a price is a strong resistance but at another point of time, it will become a strong support.

To deal with resistances and supports, you must know it and in action you must not bind yourself with an idea like that resistance is strong and can not be broken out, that support is strong and price will not be dumped under it. If you have such controversial thinking and belief, you will make bad trading positions and if you use leverage, Futures trading, you will be liquidated.
