First and foremost, we have to understand that scams, frauds and deceptions can be happening to any industry and definitely this is not an exclusive issue with the world of cryptocurrency. There had been so many financial frauds in the modern human history and there were even involving banks and financial institutions to the detriment of their many victims. Now, scams and frauds became easier and even went global with the coming of the internet and then now with cryptocurrency.
I agree with you. Scammers are everywhere, in every industry. The problem we have in cryptocurrencies is that the lack of regulations turned out to be a good situation for scammers, incentiving them. Especially during bull runs and ico crazy. Ethereum is becoming the platform for them. On the othed hand, Bitcoin is somehow safer , except for the forks, which is a good place for them to scam people.

Plagiarism is not a simple mistake in most cases, it's a conscious decision that people make in order to increase their post count and make money off of that. Frankly, anyone who engages in copying other people's work without giving proper credit for it, should get banned immediately without any exceptions.
This is utter bullshit. I almost made this mistake today, and the only thing that reminded me to review my post was all this plagiarism paranoia that has been going on the past few days. I did not even know where the thing that I posted was from, i.e. had absolutely no idea it was plagiarism without a source until I looked it up. I really don't know how someone could make a mistake like that. I mean the chances of you accidentally writing the same content as someone else, word-for-word, are just so small. I agree with this. If you read a funny Tweet or something like that and you wanna say it again and you don't k ow the source , just write"I read this on Twitter, but I don't know where" or something like that. This may be a problem for content writers, people who write articles.. they may be plagiarising their own articles by mistake. But this ban could be reversed (I think) Maybe there could be some different punishment for old plagiarism (like 3-4 years, which is cellard case I believe). Maybe he should just receive a warning or a sig ban

Se existir uma impressão/anotação contendo private keys, existe o risco de alguém encontrar e roubar tudo.
O problema dessa sua forma que você definiu como paranóica é que ela é uma hot wallet. Pois seu computador está em um ambiente online, que pode ser hackeado (por mais que você acha improvável). Mas um pedaço de papel offline não é hackeavel, pois ele está em um ambiente offline, e as privatekeys foram também geradas em um ambiente offline. 100% a prova de hackers. Na verdade o bitcoin é genial por isso, pois apenas as assinaturas são transmitidas na rede, e não as chaves privadas. Quando você coloca Suas chaves em um ambiente online, como na sua sugestão, você expõe seus fundos e não usa a totalidade da segurança que o sistema permite (e que foi desenvolvido para isso)

Esse método todo não é tão seguro ainda pq é uma desktop wallet normal, ainda ligada a rede.
A melhor forma de fazer é formatar a máquina e desabilitar a placa de rede na BIOS.
Daí você terá uma máquina offline. Instale Electrum. Não coloque mais nenhum pen drive nela.
Faça sua carteira e imprima a privatekey e public address (pra vc receber)

O jeito mais legal seria mesmo a gente ter um cartão que pudesse ser carregado com Bitcoins e que a paridade fosse com o Real, você poderia gastar os BTCs em 90% dos estabelecimentos do país
Tem um tal de UZZO que lançou um dia desses e funciona desse jeito. Acho que o único “problema” é a taxa que eles cobram por depósito, mas você deposita BTC e ele é recarregado com BRL. https://www.advcash.com/en/Antigamente o advcash permitia que você carregasse um cartão de crédito pré pago com bitcoin. Parece que recentemente mudaram e não aceitam mais, mas achei algumas informações no site falando de e-currencies e na chamada do Google fala cryptocurrencies.

Their Fee system is crap! About 5 days ago when I got the payment I transferred to localbitcoins.
I really didn't look for the fees during the transaction. As usual, I sent the payment with the regular fee and it took 3 days to confirm the transaction. They used 45sats/byte fee when the fee was needed over 60sats/byte... I think 60sats was the minimum fee required at that moment.
It is a very uncommon situation when the fees are too high. Their fee system really sucks, because I was paying very high fees there a few years ago. They used to overestimate fees. Now it's the opposite. Crap

Desculpa não ter explicado direito os pacotes seriam pacote de dados em uma rede, se tipo um usuário A pode enviar um pacote para um usuário B e todos na rede conseguir verificar está ação que realmente o usuário B está com o pacote intacto
Mas blockchain é exatamente isso. Se você me transferir 0.0001 BTC, essa informação é repassada para a totalidade da rede. Todos os bodes terão o registro dessa transação. Existem até algumas outras informações que são inseridas em blocos do btc, nas ele não foi feito pra registrar outras informações. O ethereum por exemplo já foi desenvolvido com esse intuito, e é até possível fazer contratos inteligentes onde podem ser executadas ações se o pacote chegar ou não chegar por exemplo.

Personally, I don't see too much problems verifying your account in bittrex. It's not a random scam exchange. It has thousands of verified accounts and years running...
I am verified in a few good exchanges (not in bittrex) and I think it is worth being able to deposit/withdrawal some Fiat in good exchanges. I would definitely verify my account for a few hundred bucks in bittrex.

Thanks for your reply. I will try but we are looking not for a bounty manager. So hopefully we can find another interested user. I will contact the manager. Thanks for your hint.
It's usually better to work with professional. You probably won't have problems with a manager that is trusted by the community.

Acho que o que você diz, sobre alto padrão de vida de seus parentes, seria mais por causa dos Países que eles vivem do que a questão de estudo. Não tem como comparar. Até lixeiro em País desenvolvido tem um bom padrão de vida. Mas eles fizeram negócios no interior do estado e somente após isso foram pra Miami, pelo que entendi. Nesse caso ser empreendedor que os permitiu ir para um país com maior qualidade de vida e oportunidades. caradomiojosaborgalinha, o caminho que você está planejando pode ser muito compensador. Espero que tenha sucesso. Eu não abriria mão do curso superior tão facilmente, de repente um curso curto de 4 anos numa federal (gratuito) vale a pena aproveitar. Eu li os artigos que você indicou, e eles tem pontos interessantes. Porém a realidade do país é que ainda temos algumas portas que somente estão abertas para quem tem curso superior. Portas que podem te ajudar em um momento de necessidade no futuro, e que podem ser atalhos para uma vida melhor. Você irá precisar de $ pra abrir um negócio, e será mais fácil levantar esse dimdim como nível superior do q como nível médio , por exemplo. Abraço.

It would take something close to centuries to brute Force a Bitcoin address. As the image below states, our money is secured by the laws of the universe.

No big deal. I'm just wondering out of curiosity - under what circumstances does a user's post count decrease? I didn't delete anything myself that I am aware of. Was there maybe something removed by a moderator, or maybe an entire thread that I had posted in was deleted and I was docked as a result?
As I said, it's not a big deal. This post should bump me back up in status either way.
When a moderator deletes your post. Usually he does that when you post in megathreads, or post something useless. Everyone has his own posts deleted sometime.

bitmover, are you sure that Windows 10 is still free for upgrade from Windows 7? Maybe there is some trick to do that, or Microsoft is limited that offer to certain countries, but I only see option to purchase W10.
I recently upgraded my father's computer for free. Just Googled it and download an installer, all went fine and smooth https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3159635/windows-10-update-assistantTake a look here at this article, saying that it's still free. from April 2019 https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-how-you-can-still-get-a-free-windows-10-upgrade/Here's how you can still get a free Windows 10 upgrade
Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended in 2016, right? Not exactly. The GWX tool may be gone, but all the other upgrade tools still work. The end result is an apparently valid digital license, and there's no evidence that the free upgrades will end any time soon.

It is too complex to understand. How works blockchain technology?
In simple terms, Blockchain is just a decentralized database. A slow and heavy database. It works for bitcoin because it must be decentralized and you don't need to trust anyone to use it. Many people want to put everything in blockchain, but that's really not necessary, nor useful.

I can't believe I am forced to change my OS I really don't think that will be an option for me, I don't want dual boot either. I will give my personal opinion on this. Your decision to keep windows 7 is not rational. Windows 10 is faster, lighter, better support, safer and they are updating it more frequently. Also, it is a free upgrade. There is no reason to keep windows 7. The interface is very similar, as you can also keep start menu in windows 7 style. It is much better than windows 8. The programs you are struggling to use were made for windows 10. Their support is for windows 10. You may even lose money using that os. You are already losing time. Just put on Google "windows 10 upgrade" and download the upgrade file from Microsoft website for free. You won't regret. You won't even lose any file, no need to format. In less than 2hours your problem will probably be solved and your computer faster.

Yes, it's a total pain that there is no single standard for verifying SegWit addresses, but Electrum having their own protocol isn't useless.
I don't k ow much about this subject, but maybe there is a reason for this lack of standard about segwit verification? Is what Electrum doing really reliable? Those users signing messages with segwit addresses are not doing the best practices, they should be signing with legacy addresses, just to be safe, imo
