They force users to pay using bcash
They don't force it: their default is BCH, but they also accept BTC and LTC.

I would advise against relying on any free service to confirm below market fee transactions. There isn't a guarantee their service will continue being offered, and it will likely stop being if doing so stops being economically viable.
ViaBTC's transaction accelerator has been around for years, and although it gets harder to use when fees get higher, I can usually get it to work.
You could of course just keep RBF as a backup.

I've noticed that Google no longer indexes (or at least no longer displays in search results) pages that haven't been updated in over 5 years
I can imagine this will be an improvement in some cases: I often get completely outdated information when I search something*. But if Google can't distinguish between what is and what isn't actually outdated, I'd rather get all relevant search results instead of only the most recent ones.

*Example: Covid travel restrictions. Any search results older than a few weeks are outdated, but a 5 year limit isn't going to improve that.

I had previously increased the dbcache value to 160000 MB (with 16 GB of ram).
That's 10 times more than your total RAM, that's not good. I don't expect it to use that much though, but just in case: have you checked how much memory Bitcoin Core is using? If it's filling up your swap that could cause a dramatic drop in performance.
I usually set dbcache to 4096 MB when I'm downloading the full blockchain, and reduce it to 1024 for normal continuous usage (when I have a complete blockchain already, and only need to download a few new blocks per hour).

They are also advertising the shitcoin called BCash and attack bitcoin a little bit if you read the text on the acceleration page.
I can't really blame them to poke at Bitcoin a bit:
a pending transaction caused by crowded BTC network or low miner fees
It is correct, the Bitcoin network is crowded. If it wouldn't be, we wouldn't be reading the ViaBTC Accelerator page.

Then they continue with "the key to solving jam problem is to increase or even remove block size limit" (which is debatable, especially if you want to grow more than just a couple times more transactions) and "BCH ~ much lower fees". I've always hated full Bitcoin blocks and the high fees it causes, as I think it restricts Bitcoin's growth and adoption.
I've always said that, as a user, I don't really care how Bitcoin scales, as long as it actually does it.
I also hate having to use altcoins or Forkcoins for certain payments because I'm not willing to spend more on fees than my transaction is worth. Every time I do that, it feels like a missed opportunity for Bitcoin.

I do love using LN whenever possible though, and that's something BCH can never do!

Update on posts missed by my scraper

To troubleshoot, I'm now saving every downloaded version of recent. I'll check again for missing posts in a few days.
Let's see the results Cheesy

Since this last post, I've scraped 7 full sets of 10,000 post: 5681xxxx-5687xxxx.
For each directory, I managed to archive this many posts:

5684: 9998
5685: 9995

Only 2 posts are consecutive: 56864014 and 56864015, which could indicate a scraper-problem. Ninjastic Space doesn't have them either, so I guess it's a coincidence.

I've checked all of them. The following posts exist on Ninjastic Space:
https://ninjastic.space/post/56815785 spam
https://ninjastic.space/post/56820249 spam

https://ninjastic.space/post/56867655 > Wall Observer
https://ninjastic.space/post/56874327 spam
https://ninjastic.space/post/56877337 spam
The spam gets removed within seconds by MindlessElectron, so missing those posts is acceptable.
That leaves 5 posts (0.007%) that I shouldn't have missed (assuming the other missing posts were either spam or posted on hidden boards).
I've noticed before that I sometimes miss posts made in the Wall Observer thread. I'm guessing it might have to do with the size of the thread.

I found the cause when checking the first missing Wall Observer post (56826406): It's missing from all versions of Recent Posts that I downloaded.
See: https://loyce.club/other/recent/recent.Tue%20Apr%2020%2013:35:13%20CEST%202021.html
This version has posts 56826404, 56826407 and 56826408. The posts in between are missing.
Now compare: https://loyce.club/other/recent/recent.Tue%20Apr%2020%2013:35:55%20CEST%202021.html
This version has posts 56826404 and 56826408. The posts in between are missing, which is why I couldn't scrape post 56826406.

I'm guessing SMF can't really handle the volume of new posts being created (and deleted).

I'm also guessing TryNinja catches missing posts by downloading the next recent page. My plan is to implement that from another VPS for missing posts, but I need some time to do this.
11492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help to recover BTC on: April 28, 2021, 11:20:30 AM
The text has 76 signs. Starts with AAQ and has + sign. Also has upper and lower case and numbers and 12 charecters pass.
The "+" sounds like a signed message, but that would be 88 characters. Does it end on "="?

Example of a signature:
GyW/J8h97Y4/8z9HbJEjT7ZYcq5OhrBc73m5MNle0iYPZT5yGXaSBHM+4lt/DGWrGs+swM6fHA4FaOWBTRyJVtg=
76+12=88! Coincidence?

Also what I remembered is with this text I somehow create wallet.dat file and then replace it in folder of Bitcoin core wallet.
As far as I know you can't create a wallet.dat file from text. It could be your password works on that wallet.dat, but in that case you definitely need to find the file.



Please edit your posts instead of making multiple posts in a row (see forum rules).
11493  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help to recover BTC on: April 28, 2021, 09:00:46 AM
some text and password
This is quite vague Tongue
Does it match any of the descriptions on [overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format?

If you're lucky, it's just BIP38 encrypted:
BIP38 password encrypted private key (58 characters base58, starting with "6P", see bitaddress.org, click Wallet Details).
Example: 6PRNqE9p5hTUgNy5cxXnrfVKZPX5Qz8sqB7oNfDT9N3YdCM7rqRxruxkN1

11494  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance on: April 28, 2021, 07:11:51 AM
It's possible to add a column with the date of last spending tx?
Would be nice to identify the dormant addresses.
Someone asked a similar question by PM a couple weeks ago. This was my response:
I like the idea, and I could probably get it from this data:
But it's a bit more work than I currently want to do for this, especially because "inputs" doesn't show input addresses, so it takes some additional steps.
If you do get the data out of this, please post it on Bitcointalk Smiley
I could offer this as a (paid) service if you really want it, in that case make me an offer.



Out of curiosity: why do you need dormant addressess? If you're trying to brute-force private keys, does it really matter if they're long-term hodlers (or forgotten)?
11495  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ViaBTC accelerator minimum fee on: April 28, 2021, 05:14:23 AM
I only see this as a means to help making the mempool a little not congested as it ought to be.
Mempool is just as full if they include a 10 sat/byte transaction instead of a 200 sat/byte transaction.

ViaBtc would include transactions with 10-20satb/b and ignoring some worth 100sat/b, how much is pretty hard to approximate as those 100 transactions could mean anything, simple 1inputs 2 output tx or huge ones but even with a 10-15$ per tx lost they would lose 1000$, 24 hours, that's around $25k minimum, could be far more, depending on if they have a  limit in the size of the tx they accept.
So they're either using it to advertise their paid accelerator, or just to advertise their mining pool. Either way, it must be worth it in some way for them.

hex comes out as 64 chars starting with f5: (listed in pairs, though only 64 chars without trailing zeros - e.g. counting 5 instead of 05)
I have no experience personal recovering old wallets from blockchain.info, but if you ended up with a 64 character HEX, you might be on to something:
Private Key Hexadecimal (64 characters [0-9A-F]) (less common).
Example: CA9A061710B8BC582E1B8BB60D0F3F2751791888AB5C18737620087ABDF74A05
I'd try to enter this on the Wallet Details tab on an offline and air-gapped downloaded version of Bitaddress.org.

From the FAQ:
Quote
6. What are the buttons in bottom left?

These 3 are Lifelines. No one else has them

1. Show dealer card.
After 10 bets you can use this lifeline. It is an option to see dealers other card before showdown.

2.Show next card.
After 20 bets you can use this lifeline. It is an option to see next card what is coming to the table.

3.Swap one card.
This is the best and hardest to get lifeline. It activates after 30 bets. With this lifeline you can change any card what is on the table to a new random card. You can choose when do you want to use these lifelines.
How accurate is this? By my count, the first Lifeline gets activated after 50 bets. I tested 20 small bets and it reached 40%. During this test, Lifelines 2 and 3 didn't change at all.

we will contact affected users and offer them an option to compensate the lost funds.
Have you considered the possibility the attacker can claim to be a victim too? All they need is to sign a transaction from their own fake 1CrypMix address.

if these guys can magically re route traffic for IP address, why they did it to some site like [banned mixer] instead of coinbase, blockchain.com, binance.....
This possibility worries me a lot more!
