Quantum computers are not going to be cheap that average people are going to have one for each. I doubt even millionaires [at-least for the first few decades] will have one for each.
Who's talking about owning one? Quantum computing in the cloud will be the future! Perfect for researchers, and perfect for anyone else. Scalable, just select how many qubits you need, and pay per hour Smiley

Do you have a list of DT voting to know who has highest number of DT voting to the lowest?
The forum has the current list: dtview.

For more data, see DT1-strength.

The feedback system is highly abused even theymos couldn't escape it. Got the taste of what he created. Who's next? Cyrus? Scrape it off for good.
It's becoming more like any other feedback system on the planet. I always consider 99% positive quite good on eBay, and at 94% I start having my doubts. It's just not possible to please everyone.
1164  Economy / Exchanges / Re: eXch - instant exchange BTC / LN / XMR / LTC / ETH / ERC20 on: March 12, 2024, 10:02:01 AM
This is mainly why we have the message "You can start exchange without calculating and send any amount (calculation will be performed on receipt)" right to the "Exchange" button.
Since the Reserves are shown on the same page, I didn't expect this functionality when there are no reserves left.

I checked your FAQ section, but it doesn't mention any of this regarding backorders you just discussed. Perhaps you should add it, so your clients know such an option exists.
I was going to suggest the same thing Smiley

@Heisenberg63 would you mind explaining why the scammer using your address to scam people? and if the OP sent the LTC to your address, would you mind sending it back?
Heisenberg63's story doesn't add up. I'll follow this topic to see his response to this question. I'm very close to leaving a red warning tag.
1166  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Jacks Club / Jacksclub.io SCAM on: March 12, 2024, 09:20:59 AM
08:48:50 AM ~ still count as 8 AM. Unless they said Before 8AM or final is 8.00 AM.
I've seen a lot of weird things on the internet, but it's the first time I see someone argue 8:48 is on time if the deadline is at 8!

8 AM is when the clock shows 8:00:00. That means, at the start of the contest, 8:00:01 (and probably even 8:00:00) qualifies. But at the end of the contest, 7:59:59 (or maybe 8:00:00) is the limit. If they wanted it to run an hour later, they would have said 9 instead of 8.



I know it's a cultural thing, and in some countries it's totally acceptable to be late for a meeting. But where I'm from, if the meeting starts at 8 AM, you're terribly late if you arrive at 8:48.

1168  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: List of VPN Service Providers - 2024 on: March 12, 2024, 08:06:18 AM
I've chosen Proton VPN over others due to BTC payment option. Now. Let's see the midterm results. I've paid 120 Euros (in BTC!) say one year back. And that amount turned to be like 430 Euros by 2024. But amount in BTC did fall back to same sum in Euros! Did I overspend my assets?
I remember the days I would spend 0.001BTC to use Mullvad VPN for a day. Nowadays, that buys you more than a year. Since Bitcoin is at a new All Time High, every piece of Bitcoin I ever spent or sold can be thought of as a bad decision. But that's in hindsight.
On the other hand, it also helped support the Bitcoin economy. Bitcoin can't be a currency if nobody uses it. So as long as you don't spend everything, you're still on the winning end.

Let me tell quote you a story:
In 2017 I bought my wife and I a trip to Hawaii using Bitcoin... cheapair.com.  I wonder if they kept any of their profits in BTC.  I hope so...  My wife was surprised I had done it.  But it was one of the only ways to buy it without her knowing.  "Why would you spend the REAL money on this trip instead of the worthless money we have in the bank?", she asked.  She's a good one.  "Well, I look at it this way... If bitcoin fails for some reason we got a trip to Hawaii from it... and if it doesn't?  Well that's exactly the problem we WANT to have

Trip worth like $30k today.  Lol.  But I replaced nearly all that bitcoin in March of 2020 for about the same USD cost as the trip.
~
I knew in the midst of that beauty and happiness that someday it would be the "million dollar trip"...".

I'm close to agreeing with Igebotz, although I wouldn't say that the flag system has never been abused. There have been attempts, but mostly every unjustified flag ends up as inactive.
I'm pretty sure we all agree Smiley See the Flag on my account: someone tried to abuse it, but it didn't work. Or look at the Flag on your account. The Flag system works quite well Smiley

How did NVIDIA go up 1961.91% in the past 5 years? In 10 years, they went from $4.49 to $875. That's 10 times more than their revenue increased. I don't get it.
1172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hypothetical ETF disaster hardfork on: March 11, 2024, 11:01:46 AM
Looks like Blackrock is determined to become one of the biggest holders in Bitcoin.
I'm starting to wonder how secure this is. Many exchanges have been hacked in the past. Given enough ETFs with enough people with inside access and enough money to be stolen, at some point an ETF could be drained on-chain.
1173  Economy / Reputation / Re: DT1 and DT2 members who have negative feedback (or are banned) on: March 11, 2024, 08:44:43 AM
The only useful system left on the forum is the flag system. Never seen it abused.
The Flag system gets abused a lot, but it doesn't stick. I guess it was designed to avoid the flaws in the feedback system.
1174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Mar 2024] Fees are lower, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: March 11, 2024, 06:36:02 AM
Once consolidations are over, and all this inscription speculation is over, fees must go down. (and 12 is already a good price)
Once fees drop more, I expect many more consolidations.

Quote
Transactions are basically half the block?
I'm avoiding small transactions, and I'm probably not the only one. I don't like paying more than a dollar to buy a coffee. So if fees get low enough again, I expect the transaction volume to increase.
1175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can't make TXN'error: bad-txns-inputs-missingorspent'.Wrong balances on explorer on: March 11, 2024, 06:28:26 AM
but it seems so strange that on the block explorer it seems wrong too - its a brand new wallet and I added 5.8 tBTC and its reporting received: ‎40.39202354 and sent: ‎34.65246190
Go to the block explorer, and CTRL-F "tb1q0puk6v8sm8zhcteyfm707f740g99kwztn7n57k" so your browser highlights the address. That shows what happened: you've sent small amounts several times, and the change was sent back to the original address. That counts as "received" again, and 7 times (almost) 5.8 makes it just over 40 in total.

Well said.

I would have been highly disappointed if theymos were to smite Vod because of a tag.
How do you define smite?
Something like `mv Vod > /dev/null`.

Quote
He posted repeatedly how Theymos could verify the PM.
The easy way to verify a PM would be by asking reporting it to a Global Mods, and ask them to confirm authenticity. But that goes off-topic here.

How can I report a PM I didn't send?
That's what whoever makes the claim could do.
1179  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: VanitySearch (Yet another address prefix finder) on: March 10, 2024, 09:38:46 AM
Just noticed this today. I got 2 extremely similar private keys.  Does anyone know if this could be a sign of a security issue with the PRNG?
Probably not
Yes! This should not happen. Unless you altered the source to search from a specific starting point.

I've never used VanitySearch (because I hardly trust any new software), and I don't know how it works internally, but I would expect it to generate a new random private key after finding a match. I think it's okay to add "+1" from a random number to search the next one (which I expect to be much faster than generating new private keys all the time), but two similar private keys shouldn't happen.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Create a player list of rights on: March 10, 2024, 09:23:28 AM
but instead something like "The site lists every condition that would enable them to freeze or seize assets as part of the registration and/or deposit process."
I don't think sites will agree to that. There will always be border cases, or cases where there is doubt.

The last time I thoroughly read through a casino's terms, I noticed a lot of things I didn't like:
Quote
8.8 You acknowledge that the Casino shall be the final decision-maker of whether you have violated the Casino’s Terms and Conditions in a manner that results in your suspension or permanent barring from participation in the Website.
If this happens, what happens to the player's balance? I'm asking this because I've seen many topics in the past where casino Terms were very user-unfriendly.

Quote
10. If the Player is suspected of ~ the Company reserves the right to terminate such a Player Account and suspend and/or cancel all payouts to the player. ~ the Player will not be notified or informed about the reasons for such actions.
This seems like one of those rules that will destroy your reputation when applied. When someone is found guilty, sure. But it doesn't seem right to cancel payouts based on a suspicion without even telling the player why.

Quote
10.5 To prevent any fraudulent activities concerning cryptocurrency transactions, we lay down the following rule: in case the transaction is marked as replaceable - Opt-in Replace-by-Fee (RBF), the Casino reserves the right to close such accounts immediately and withhold any wins.
WHY?! RBF is a normal part of a Bitcoin transaction, and the default behaviour of many wallets. It's much, much better if you don't accept unconfirmed transactions, so the user can bump the fee when his deposit takes too long to confirm.
Ultimately, all Bitcoin transactions are replaceable as long as they're unconfirmed.

Quote
11.1 The Website offers Coinspaid as payment method only.
~
11.4 Kindly note that due to the nature of cryptocurrencies, deposit limits cannot be applied to the deposits made through CoinsPaid payment system. If you want to limit your gambling in the casino, please, use any other available option.
In 11.4 you're referring to other options that, according to 11.1, don't exist.

12.9.1 is the same as 12.1, and 12.9.2 is almost the same as 14.4.

I think there are 2 basic problems: companies all over the world create far too many conditions to agree with, which leads to the next problem: most users just click "Accept" without reading it. Cookie warnings alone would fill my day if I wanted to read them all. If users would read the existing Terms, they should not even signup if they don't like them.
