I thought you just said you weren't able to do that because the minimum trade is $5 (or do you not need a usd derivative to trade futures).

$4 isn't much to trade with either, have though thought about paper trading before this? (it probably won't take many trades before your account gets too low).

Litecoin is probably the simplist and easiest option (it might be the most secure for lower fees too).

I've transferred coins like usdt which have been cheap over the tron network and usdc has been cheap over the binance chain too (but I didn't notice the actual fees paid - and this was between two lesser known exchanges).

Historically, this hasn't happened since about 2013 (except the attack on bitfinex in 2017 afaik). Most reputable exchanges will keep operating and know the risks of overleveraging their assets (so don't do it). Exchanges know hoe to recoup money better now too with a higher amount of trades being executed at a higher price than before.

If you are comfortable and happy to move them there, your funds are probably safer on your machine than on an exchange (but if you're really bad with security and often access a lot of random sites without knowledge of how to do things like segregating different parts of your machine via VMs then your funds might be safer on an exchange).

I don't think I've heard of them before and they've not been mentioned on the forum much?

How long have they taken so far to investigate your win/withdrawal? When was the win and withdrawal put in?

I could imagine it taking a week to a month for something like this to go through but not longer... There's a chance they don't have the money to payout but that's not exactly you're problem because they should have managed/expected that (and means they might be able to pay back smaller amounts over a longer timeframe if so).

You could just give up and come back to it if it's not fun or you can't be bothered doing it. Once you've got a disk image, your files are safe and can be recovered later on anyway if you get motivation to come back to it/get bored.

I don't know how useful this is but you might want to look at installing software like autopsy which should be able to sort things in a time wise format (from a disk image) - presumably your wallet.dat file could then be found by looking at things of a similar timeframe (but I'm not sure on how the filesystem in XP worked).

Also I don't think bitcoin core had encryption back in 2009 so you could attempt to search to your disk for strings of data the wallet file would have saved (but I've not seen an example of one from that long ago so I'm not sure how they would have been).

To spend bitcoin your wallet builds up a template on its own that lists:
The input utxos, the output addresses and how much is sent to each (remainders are paid to miners as a fee) - there's other info too but these are the main bits.

The wallet then signs this transaction using each utxo's address's private keys and makes the transaction valid to be spent/accepted by other nodes.

Historically, China, India, Europe and North America have been large extractors of raw materials from mines (North America has also had an extent of control on South America to gain materials from them too). In a lot of circumstances, African countries are the ones that have been left behind in the funding of these material extraction - until a few years ago when a lot of countries seem to have started to do their own explorations on account of cheaper extraction facilities and a rising price of minerals (because the availability everywhere else is slowly running out - potentially).

There has been mining for a long time in Africa but it seems to have been for specific materials and less of a focus on things like gold (or coal afaik).

Most things can have inflation now anyway too (even materials like diamond can be artificially generated) it'll be interesting to see if gold gets devalued by more discoveries in the future too (in science and technology as well as naturally occurring discoveries).

You can file the tax by registering for an account in the year that you realise the gain (sell the crypto for profits) you don't have to rush into this though or worry about it much until you have to pay it. You can search us "self assessment tax registration" to find out what you'll have to do.

You'll be taxed about 10-20% on the profits you make and those should be easy to calculate if you can download your history from coinbase, ftx and crypto.com easy enough.

I think most of the time it'll be down to the potential documents can be misused or could be stolen if not secured well - if you can do kyc in some places by just confirming your address why can't online casinos do the same.

Do you know how nbminer actually works and have you just installed it on your machine as before and set up. The proxy (vpn) for it to mine through or set up the proxy (vpn) to catch all your computer's communications and forward them through it.

Can you look at how to get the logs from Nbminer and copy them here (removing any personal Information that might be stored there).

Finally it looks like they mine on your machine for themselves for some time and you mine on it for the rest (not sure how this works but maybe 1 minute is spent mining for them and 99 are spent mining for you - you might have to allow access to one or two of their servers too in order to be able to mine).

I think merits are meant to be subtle so they don't encourage people to look at them.

Ranking posts by numbers of merits might miss out the context of the post you're reading and pressure other users (like merit sources) into spending their merit quota too quickly or wasting merits on posts that were good responses but may not be deserving of merits.

I think we'll see movements inversely proportional to bitcoin's inflation but I don't think any model is going to be very accurate on predicting bitcoin's price for a while.

Waiting for one to be invalidated is going to be a bit problematic too - but the pattern of when inflation reduces, price increases has always held and has more reason to be held.

The rainbow chart looks a lot more flexible too with bitcoin's price though (like how it's fallen out of the bottom of the rainbow before so an event like that would be noteworthy but not the end of the model).

Most of the time the market settles between the two extremes too. At $3-6k in 2019, a low of $1.3k was still being touted as the bottom (even though we never went there).


CNBC used to seem anti bitcoin from the news reports i saw (unless those were just the ones that stirred up a reaction from people) they're probably just back to doing that again to get more of an audience.

You'll probably need more images too just as a suggestion as 500 sounds like it'll give a low accuracy (most machine learning algorithms detect and save patterns so they'll likely not need the images once they've been passed through and described).

They always tweet it and they have done this time: https://twitter.com/saylor/status/1542117682207678465?s=20

There was speculation on here before that a dump normally happens after microstrategy buys (though they might've bought a dump themselves this time).

If you're trying gto find funds you've misplaced, I remember bitvisitor used to pay to addresses (I used them back in 2015, you'd put in your address -> hit go and it'd take you to a website thst was being advertised, you had to stay on the page for half a minute to get paid but some of them were quite interesting to scroll through (considering most were crypto related and I was new at the time - this was back in 2015).

It might be too soon for an etf to be approved by the sec, but I think doing it during a lull is probably the best time to do it for both crypto and the investors that might find it - there was a lot of people back when these things were first being discussed saying futures are normally offered at the bottom and etfs at the top (which may desuade investors).

Anyone selling now is just guessing at what they expect to happen.

They bought a small position back in 2019 for cheap and then have continued to buy since then.

They still hold a stake in cryptocurrency companies (I presume) which might be paying out crypto on their profits but I'm not sure holding $8+m usdc is that smart of a decision they could've made.

Perhaps this is what forced the price of the ruble higher too, if a bunch of companies had to liqudiate most of their contract sales to rubles (and potentially foreign stock holdings) then it likely caused that spike.

I wonder if any of this has something to do with the 122% short of gme stock or whether that's just gone ignored as not a problem...

I have accounts open both with exchanges and with places like Robinhood and exchanges have fees (and they can seem quite high too of you're wanting to diversify and not buy a fund).

The market makers were a part of RH's business model and this might've been why it was IPO'd when it was too...

There are/were communities that did this sort of thing (pump) on "word of mouth" bases too - I say pump because a lot of them were stocks generally picked to be undervalued or that the people in these communities actually expected to do well (if you're in a small community, you'd do better telling someone legitimate information and having them share a cut with you or just not telling them again if they don't).
