Like any device, there will come a time when you stop using it, either because the device needs frequent repair, or the return from its operation is less than the operating cost (maintenance, electricity, cooling, the price of bitcoin)
If this happens, you can operate the device for experimentation and enjoyment, but you will definitely not continue to operate it because it is a failed project.

People join mining pools because they can't afford to create a mining farm that produces a good hashrate to solo mine Bitcoint, so they prefer the possible profit rather than the near impossible profit.

You can start with this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5316005.0 It explains well the concept of the private key and the entropy behind it, there are some videos in YouTube but they go into the details without giving a background.

at some time https://openbazaar.org and Cody Wilson & @genjix DarkWallet (no longer working now) was using it.

I don't know if there is any new wallet uses this library, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the closed source wallets used it.

I cant remember the exchange name but there was that offer zero withdrawal fees, this was the reason why some people used them, so he thought of it as a marketing trick.

Some other reasons could be

• There may be some hidden fees here.
• A high withdrawal fees
• A temporary offer, and sometimes may give up part of their profits to ensure that more users make purchases and deposits.

bad reasons can be

• misuses customers' money: instead of charging fees, it takes advantage of customers' money and invests it in high-risk investments, from which it obtains financing.
• Low exchange rates: The exchange rates are much lower than the prices in other platforms and they make profits from this difference.
• They want to steal customers' money after gaining their trust.

I think the reason for MEXC is a temporary promotion.

I found an old thread talking about Factoid Spots
Some of them have been removed and these are general conditions for new factoid slots.


Here is another topic by theymos Ideas for new factoids?

This looks very interesting, restricts the entropy from 128/256 bits to 32 bits.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the reason for hacking some closed source wallets like Atomic Wallet, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were using deterministic random number generators.

I think we have enough reasons to stop using closed source wallets because we don't know exactly what updates they make and whether they check entropy is really random or they rely on outdated libraries for PRNG.

We can say that P2P payments mean that you do not need a third party such as a bank to ensure that the money will reach the buyer, and here we will say that all bitcoin transactions are P2P payments, even if they are sent to exchange, as the transaction from your wallet to the platform is P2P payments, but what happens inside exchange is not yours to do so Not your keys not your coins rule.

After the first confirmation, trust is transferred from you to the second party and here you can enhance privacy using mixing services and full node management, with TOR, you can enhance trust by paying to a party you trust or use collateral, enhance liquidity by not burning your coins or giving them for free to scammers.

I don't know what you mean by outdated miners, since it is bitcoin mining that does not depend on how modern the mining tools are. In the end, it is Th/s accounts for the cost of electricity, so there are no outdated miners, but they are not profitable.
You can mine Bitcoin by guessing it on a piece of paper, but the probability of finding a block is almost zero, so ASICs are used.

When you buy mining tools, you take into account the return on investment, the cost of electricity, cooling, and the depreciation rate, which we can describe as five years. If you cannot at least recover your capital and sell miners during 5-Years, then you are mining wrongly.

You missed the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) case with Paxos that stopped printing more BUSD.
users have the option to convert it into any currency before a certain date, or it will be converted directly into USDP on the Binas platform. I think the conversion will be into USDT. https://www.binance.com/en-IN/feed/post/216379



Changpeng Zhao (CZ) – CEO of Binance – said about BUSD holders


The foreseeable future came after about 6 months.

If there was a deal like returning 10% and closing the case, which hacker would want it? After all, laundering millions of dollars will not be easy, and you will always be afraid of being caught.
10% is a good amount and he may not have to pay taxes if he does not sell it, all he needs is to wait for several years and he will have an amount equal to approximately 30% to 50% of the stolen amount legally instead of getting 100% with the fear of being arrested.

most systems tend to give rewards for finding bugs instead of entering into negotiations with hackers that may lead to a loss of 10% of the hot wallet.

This will not work because the transaction when it was created was created by blockchain.com and that means the RBF flag will not work.

I want to ask what is the point of rebroadcasting it, if he waits for several days and it is dropped, he can create a new transaction with a higher balance or extract the seed move it to any wallet that supports RBF like electrum? Or am I wrong?

Isn't Paxos Trust Co the same company that issued Binance USD (BUSD) and which issued a decision from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Follow the rest of the news from here https://www.binance.com/en-IN/feed/post /216379

What makes the authorities now allow PayPal what was forbidden to Binance despite the great similarity between both assets.
Also, after Moody's lowered the credit rating of the United States, he was surprised at the type of assets that would be taken to liquidate assets, would it be US Treasury bonds.

I see it as an attempt by them to collect some liquidity, especially since many will sell their bitcoins in exchange for stable currencies when the price of bitcoin rises and it will not be a future policy.

Domain and project details for about two years. However, there is no active product for you, not on social media pages, not even articles or analyzes. What was the project doing during the past two years?

I see that you offer interest rate products along with derivatives, however, the service is decentralized and interacts with the oracle network with centralized products, so how can this be done without identity verification?

electrumcore dooot org is phishing site and have been discussion here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455924.0



This scammer may tell you that he will send first, but he will use a reversible payment method, and once you send bitcoins in which the transactions are irreversible, he run out with your money and scam you.

They always have stories like I have frozen money in an area or I will pay you a higher amount and a guaranteed profit to be greedy and stop thinking.

When you connect a hardware wallet, you will get a small icon indicating that the seed is for the hardware wallet and not on your device.




This figure indicates that the seeds are on your device. If you look at the image in the product, you will realize that the hardware wallet is not connected.
this scammer does not know anything about hardware wallets.

Did you make this transaction or does this address belong to you https://www.blockchain.com/es/explorer/transactions/btc/a782f2df7a94bb1f48886117c8661d8a78a274c510df5e36f6bdf007e55d6078 What is the amount withdrawn compared to the amount you have?

Do you have more than one wallet on the same device, and are you sure that you verify signature when you updated the wallet? Because the legacy addresses is not a default option in new versions.

You have to assume the worst case which mean you need to save your wallet seed offline, reinstall the operating system, install a new wallet, transfer coins to it and make sure that no one knows new seed password or accesses your computer.

There are only a few CEXs that provide a legacy deposit address so it is easy to find out which CEX provides this address https://www.blockchain.com/es/explorer/addresses/btc/1NNGETjxDw7U2aTd5E5MYeBhBUKMyBUW9A (there is a good possibility that this is the address of a CEX) and from there You can specify whether it is a hacker or a person from your country.

How did you manage to collect all these personal texts? It is difficult to notice them, and I did not know that many people use them to write thoughts expressing themselves instead of renting them. I will try to find a useful quote.

In my country and the place where I live now, the situation is much better. There are various options for rent, which start from $ 300 per room and reach an average of $ 700. You can find suitable housing for a small family for $ 2,000, while the average salary is about $ 6,000 per month.
Therefore, a young man and a newly married man can rent a suitable space for his family, but finding a large space is the problem, as most of the dwellings are one or two rooms and are not suitable for forming a family.
You can find larger areas in the countryside for the same price, but this means losing 4 hours of your day due to traffic and distance.

It appears to have been working for a while, as it was removed from Bitcoin Core v0.8.0 Bitcointalk pull request Github https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1904


After a little research, they even tried to add the IP address next to the Bitcoin address, or domain name and SSL cert. I don't know if these ideas were applied, but their idea is more like routers between IPV4 and IPV6.

Based on some comments, it seems that this feature was used, but I don't know if it was with the domain name and bitcoin address or just for the IP address.

Zero Transfer Scam is one of the most common fraud cases on the Ethereum blockchain and I am surprised why explorers/wallets did not try to update their codes to give alerts to users or at least not to show these addresses as it is easy to hide any transaction with a balance of less than $0.1 and thus make the success rate like this Zero fraud.


Either this user is too rich and too careless to avoid verifying the address or at least sending a small amount for testing or this is a case of tax evasion.

This is what makes me question the story. Rich can't make beginner mistakes in this way. Not to mention being a "very experienced crypto operator."

You like to search for hardware wallets from third sources, the last time was Amazon and now eBay, no matter how low the price of these devices is, buying HW from a third party who may tampering the components which considered dangerous, and mostly whoever buys the hardware wallet stores large amounts, so ~$ 100 on average It is cheap.


This user is scammer, when you connect the hardware wallet to electrum wallet, a small icon appears next to the green button, it does not exist in this screen shot, which means that the hardware wallet is not connected and that this user does not know anything about bitcoin.
He needs to improve his Photoshop skills.
