Since you mentioned investors then probably they are sure about the fundamentals which means they don't have to play for every events which creates temporary price fluctuations and just stick to what they planned to, so I am going to say it's just the price no need of anything else.

Yeah you are right I mean off chain not offline.

I meant the funds required for the transactions on the channel should be loaded first as liquidation, however some people are not aware of that when it comes to lightning network and think that everything happens off-chain so the fees are absolutely zero.

First of all for people to keep sending their BTC back and forth the channel should be kept open also not all the transactions are offline since the liquidation required for the channel should be done on-chain and should keep it funded to make the transactions.

I guess it will be appropriate if you edit the title as Security concerns" instead of vulnerabilities since all those points are mentioning about keeping the bitcoin secure nothing about the bitcoin network itself which summons that the Bitcoin network is not vulnerable since

• Bitcoin's security model is built on decentralized consensus and cryptographic principles.
• network's resistance comes from the collective computational power of miners and the sophisticated cryptographic algorithms that secure transactions.

Let's assume if someone wants to execute 51% attack over bitcoin network then they approximately need 181 EH/s of hashing power it is equivalent to hash power produced by 1 Million powerful ASICs so imagine it will need around 10B dollars for the product cost alone and then the operating cost which will be like another 5B and they have to keep running the ASICs to keep their control over bitcoin network, once they stopped all the blocks reversed will be confirmed again so its like they just wasted billions to hold the network for a while so its like they need unlimited amount of money to take control of bitcoin forever.

If it is executed on the Ethereum network then the attacker needs 10M ETHs staked which is around 20B and if once the attacks start then a voting process needs to be taken to reverse those validated blocks (correct me if I am wrong guys).

Bitcoiner2023  so both are decentralized however you can differentiate which one is impossible to attack than the other.

It is because the proof of work concept is highly diversified, impossible to launch 51% attack so Bitcoin seems highly decentralized where as Ethereum is now running based on Proof of stake which involves the block validation process only by the validators.

Full node has nothing to do with the decentralization because it only verifies the data of blockchain so if one is trying to tamper the data it will eliminate from the network so higher the number of nodes will ensures the tamper proof netwotk.

Again the answer depends on the validation process since bitcoin runs based on Proof of Work concept in that miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles using computational power. This competition requires substantial computational resources, such as specialized hardware and electricity. As a result, PoW networks tend to attract a larger number of participants who contribute their resources to secure the network. This distributed participation helps in achieving a higher degree of decentralization.

Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake: understanding the key differences

This fee rise are enforced by the platform so it has nothing to do with the blockchain network so if you want lesser fee then change the platform you choose to trade as well as try changing the payment modes, usually bank transfers are cheaper with crypto<=>fiat so always prefer that if possible.

Also, prefer the platforms with Lightning Network deposits which enable you to transfer funds with the negligible fee to know where the lightning network is accepted please refer to this site lightningnetworkstores.com.

P.S. Don't bother trying any tokens on the Ethereum network since the network fee itself is highly insane compared to other blockchain.

But the platform may ask for Identity verification in case of a refund request initiated from the player as per their ToS

And also they strictly prohibit usage of VPN as well
With due respect, it may not be the best recommendation for those who don't want to comply with KYC.

Handling a report is not an easy task for the mod especially if its related to plagiarism cause they need to be sure that its actually plagiarized content with clear evidence it is going to be easy for them however due to the load they might miss it, imagine they need to review thousands of reports every day for various reasons.

AFAIK, once the mod confirms the content is completely plagiarized with intention not by mistake the post will be deleted along with permanent ban, no warning as far as I remember.

So the right thing is to ban all the offenders who violated the plagiarism rule and if the admin or Global mod thinks that the person may deserve a second chance due to the contribution towards the forum then they can give an excuse for them.

Probably mods missed those reports that is why bthose users are yet to be banned but if we report them then it is likely to receive their perma ban. Well, let's see what is the opinion of mod about this cases!

I was using LBC until the closure of their services completely and I did had some dust account never bothered to withdraw them cause the amount is actually lesser than the withdrawal fee but never received any email from LBC about that so I guess the email you received is not from official and someone is trying to impersonate with the intention of collecting your credentials.

Surprisingly lot of people fell for this scam in the past years but I am not hearing about this type in the recent days or atleast in the bitcointalk so people are more informative and start thinking about things instead of beleiving it completely.

Deceiving scams is also executed on many occasions especially targetted towards which is someone who will contact you on telegram, Facebook or in any other way and seek your help to withdraw their coins because they will claim that its stuck on the exchange or any platform and their country is not letting them to withdraw it and even they will show their profile and will give access to it but all of them were masked and it is under control of the one who is contacting you.

They will offer 50/50 to withdraw the amount so you will say okay and get the site credentials from the random person then you will try to withdraw but the support says you need to deposit $50 or $100 which is a red flag straight away but due to the amount, they can make most people will be deceived and fund the address provided in the screen, once you send it then there you are scammed!

I received such kind of offers lot of times and many were too so I think it can be added too in OP's list.

AFAIK trust Wallet is not completely open source whereas Mycelium is however this is not safe for storing cryptos for long period as I said earlier cause it is prone to attacks also user feedback of mycelium android is not great cause it is filled with a lot of glitches and even many people claimed that they can't see their balance even after enough confirmations.

I don't know how you gathered information about forum members don't have any balance in their wallet, did you tried the address which is in their profile or signed in message for authentication in case if they want to recover their account then you are wrong. I don't see any reason for anyone to disclose their primary address even the secondary addresses cause it will deanonymize them and voids the purpose of privacy m

^^Sorry for the wrong information, I haven't checked the wallet for years since not really a fan of using the multi crypto wallets so just only noticed the changes made in the source code which is no more public since 2021 if I am not wrong so as you guys said it's not the best alternative to another closed source.

So what are the existing multi crypto wallets?

Until now the app called thread is unusable like there is no search apart from user profiles and also most of the users are redirected from Instagram which is also owned by Meta/Mark so the numbers are too huge with no engagement at all. To keep the members alive they need to make changes as soon as possible or else the threads app will become just another Instagram.

Twitter is also struggling due to multiple factors and Mark took this as opportunity to launch a killer app.

Guarda wallet is also a noncustodial, open-sourced wallet that supports 50+ coins also with purchase features with multiple options so it is a good alternative for trust wallet but keep in mind it is not safe as other types of wallet since the device we install this wallet has to be connected with internet to access the assets which make them vulnerable to attacks.

I don't see anywhere in the tweet Binance claimed themselves as a wallet or they ask anyone to use their exchange for storing.

They just mentioned #Binance was created to achieve freedom of money for everyone. but the literal meaning can be anything for example with that statement they can portray that they allows users to purchase crypto assets with ease so they can experience the freedom of money.

I am not supporting Binance or saying anything against you but no one should take the tags as fact especially when it posted by themselves.

It is like we are accepting 1xbit is the most reputed crypto Gambling site.

The wallets will be safe forever until you keep the private keys secured but the problem with hardware wallet is we need to trust the manufacturer for the data we are giving while we buy and IP logs used to buy are stored in their online services so just like any hacks the data stored in the Trezor and any trusted manufacturer may be stolen and it will be a threat to our privacy. So you can keep the assets safe even with data leaks cause the private keys are stored in the device alone not anywhere in the online just like our data.
