Problem with an inappropriate attitude that is an attack on a person with black skin on Bitcointalk You're the one who brings up his skin color, Cryptotourist only mentioned his face. Why do you think (verbal) attacks on Bitcointalk are only allowed to people who don't have a black skin? That seems quite racist  If I had to guess his profession from his looks, I'd say car seller, not doctor. And if you say you don't judge people by the way they look, I simply don't believe you. Nor is that post racist to begin with. People reading that post and thinking "it's because he's black" probably are. People are so sensitive and overly trying to protect others, that they don't even realize their own actions are racist. Not that it matters, the word "racism" is overused anyway.
Did someone on the internet offend you? Oh my, you're in for a ride! Maybe you should read some poetry! Allow me to quote myself: It's okay to offended people! Offensive jokes are often funny. Don't let SJW decide what you're allowed to say or even think!
Trying to be nice doesn't hurt you, but don't let someone's made up feelings stop you from speaking your mind. I don't even know how people get offended by such remarks. If someone or a troll makes such remarks, just ignore them and see if it will break a single bone in your body.
This is the internet and worse still. It is a forum full of anonymous individuals. Why would you feel bad or affected just because some random individual who doesn't even know you just made what you felt like was an insult? People choose to feel offended because they think it gives them special rights. Or snowflake point of some sort.  (Source: pinimg.com) |

How could this be done with a dice? I guess by representing every dice result to binary. I don't know if this is a solution, mainly because 128 isn't divisible with 3. (128/3 = 42.66) Dice results in binary:(code in quote edited) I can think of different ways, the easiest is probably to just omit the 5 and 6, and interpret 1-4 as binary. That's still a bit faster than coin flips. I'd want to check this for 2 reasons I understand that anyone who would try a newly written software would be afraid of these reasons. Yes, I said newly written. You would never do that on electrum. Instead, you'd use electrum to confirm that my software works properly. I've also checked addresses generated by a hardware wallet using Ian Coleman's site (running from RAM offline of course). For Electrum (or Mycelium, or Coinomi) I don't bother indeed, but I only use those for daily spending amounts. |

Please Nuke Newbie Banko.cc Banned! for plagiarism. If possible, it would be nice to remove the (back)link from the profile too. Copy: The whole process looks a bit complicated for Bitcoin Core. It's more common for its users to keep the wallet online in order to have all the (latest) blocks downloaded. Consider choosing Electrum instead, it will be much easier for you. No commands involved.

I would not overly pay a fee for a feel good feeling.
If I believe a service is overcharging me for a transaction fee, I use another service. That's why I stopped using Bitpay  My favourite nowadays is Coinpayments.net, which gives a bunch of options including LN and doesn't add an additional fee. But most services use something else. If, however, a service offers LN payment, I prefer that service over anything else  |

I've often thought about creating my own seed from dice or coins, but never done it. I tried to find a list with 2048 seed words with binary numbers, but found Learnmeabitcoin.com instead. If I'd really use this, I would like to use more than one piece of software to check if it gives the same results. The seed words I can check manually, but not the address derivation. I'd want to check this for 2 reasons: - Can a different piece of software recover the same private keys?
- Am I sure this software doesn't just give me pre-created compromised private keys that aren't derived from my seed?
So far, all my tests with recovering private keys worked as expected. It's comforting to know my thorough checks weren't needed (but I'll keep doing it anyway). The usual disclaimer: don't use any online site to create private keys for storing real coins! |

I might have to call a forum police after receiving a call that you are having a party at LoyceV place, not wearing protection and not keeping social distancing  Again: "No comment"! |

imagine the average product bought via LN was $2.
if someone has 4 channels with say $1650 per channel ($6600 total(average node/channel cap:1ml)
thats only 825 transactions possible per session per channel
with closing/reopening channels being ~$2x2. thats a $4 cost to run a channel.
to break even LN payment fees need to be $0.0049 Now imagine you buy the same $2 product using on-chain Bitcoin. You'll pay $12 in fees, and the payment service will charge you 0.0002 BTC (or more) because of their own consolidation costs. That's $24 in fees for a $2 product, and the transaction takes much longer. I'll gladly pay whatever fees LN charges me. It's negligible compared to on-chain transactions. Why do you hate LN so much? The existence of LN doesn't stop you from using on-chain Bitcoin at high fees. but for emphasis. the reality is the hop ideal of utopian freedom wont flourish. the hub/spoke banker model will I don't mind |

I am a US resident and have some Venus (XVS) trapped on Binance that I can't convert,
~
if you withdraw to Binance you can just convert back to ETH and profit. I'm curious: why can't you convert it by yourself? Are US residents not allowed to trade it? I also have about $700 in TRON, FLM, and CTK I would like to do the same thing with There are many instant exchanges that accept TRON (TRX). For small amounts I would use FixedFloat, but DYOR of course. |

When loading this morning it asked me to create a new wallet... which I did You don't need the new wallet (if this wasn't obvious already). I backed up the wallet.dat file yesterday but my old coins are not popping up in the new wallet created... What have I missed? Did you load the old wallet.dat into your new Bitcoin Core installation? Feeling like I have done something unrecoverable here As long as you have an untouched backup of your wallet.dat, you should be fine. |

Please provide wallet address It's posted here. That doesn't show the original BTC address where the 13BTC originated from does it, it just shows the mixed BTC and where it was sent to. So, you have no idea what you're talking about. You seem to be quite angry though. Need a hug? they have every right to hold the funds under AML regulations Who is "they" in your narrative? a letter of such takes minutes If you think you can send a letter to an unknown Bitcoin address, how about you send a letter to this guy? I'd love to read their response! the slander is cute but irrelevant here. You can click Report to moderator on off-topic posts. |

Please provide wallet address It's posted here. if you are clean I will happily write you a letter that WILL get you your BTC back. Who are you again, and why do you think your letter can undo a Bitcoin transaction? |

Thanks again for your flawless timing! It's still a great honor to be the first and oldest member of Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club! At the very least, consider wearing your name tag on an article of clothing you don't intend to immediately discard I've considered it, but decided to choose anonymity over name tags. After all, unless someone uses your time machine to get the exact details again, I can always just quote Bill Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman". This image was decent enough to show the kids. Allow me to quote MehMeh: " wat een lief vosje"! |

Well, this ended  Dot.tk marked (only) this domain as FRAUD. It doesn't make sense, but since I only made this for fun, I won't bother asking them why. |

what about transactions with lower fees? I have a transaction with 5sat/byte stuck since February 11. It is not dropped from mempool, it is not being resend. Is there a chance it will be confirmed during next "low fees Sunday" ? Only if fees drop low enough, miners include transactions that earn them most money first. It was made in online wallet, that dont allow CPFP and RBF. As long as they keep broadcasting the transaction, it won't drop from mempool. But if fees keep rising, and given a maximum 300 MB mempool size, the transactions with lowest fees will be dropped eventually, and in that case won't be accepted again as as long as mempool stays full. If that happens, it's up to the service that sent the transaction to re-send it with a higher fee. If it's a "wallet" (by my definition), it should give you access to private keys. If you have private keys, you can try CPFP. If it's an exchange or other website that doesn't give you private keys, and you sent it to a similar service that doesn't allow you to do RBF, then indeed all you can do is wait. |

In a dispute, I planned to act just like any other resolution process would and review evidence.
Buyer claims a bricks were shipped - What is the weight of box of bricks and does that match the courier/shipping records? How does the seller respond when asked to prove bricks were not shipped? A smart "brick shipper" would of course make the weight of the bricks match the weight of the item they sold. My point is: you can't really only escrow the financial side of a deal, you need to check both ends. |

They are not even people. They are email addresses, fingerprints and VPN IP addresses used by a bot. The information is in no way personal and might be useful to other services doing free giveaways to help them prevent theft and fraud by the same person. I don't think this will hold up in court. As an aside, I do believe that anyone abusing the service forfeits the right to privacy. We plan to update our ToS soon and the draft our lawyers have written includes that provision. When it is introduced everyone using the service will have to explicitly accept that if they are caught cheating they can be publically identified by us. I'm pretty sure this is illegal in at least all EU member states, and I'm pretty sure that's valid for websites that offer their services in EU countries. Your ToS is not above the law (and even criminals have rights). I'm not going to say exactly what we fingerprint but the chances of 2 accounts generating the same one are roughly 400000:1 so the chances of 36 accounts with the same referrer are next to zero. I just checked FreeBitco.in: REGISTERED USERS
41,670,054 Given a 400000:1 chance, that leaves an average of 104 users for each "unique" fingerprint. Chances are some of them will use the same referrer too (although 36 indeed seems unlikely). I disagree about the email addresses. If someone signs up a load of email accounts for the purpose of pretending to be multiple people that don't exist that can't be personal information. Interesting ( cognitivelaw.co.uk: If you are able to identify an individual either directly or indirectly (even in a professional capacity), then GDPR will apply. You might be able to link an email address to another account or person online, so chances are some of them fit the category "personal data". Not to mention, almost all of TheQuin's reviews since October 2019 are for the abuse of of his service (real or perceived, I won't judge.) There seems to be a conflict of interest for someone on DT2. Talking about conflicts of interest, I'm still curious why TheQuin didn't respond in Freebitco.in provably cheating: Interesting. It would be interesting to hear statement from wetsuit or TheQuin. I find it interesting that for years they haven't responded here. I still believe the accusations are plausible. Let me quote my post from years ago: I've often wondered if they're legit, based on the average cost per faucet claim: 1 number pays $200 2 numbers pay $20 4 numbers pay $2 8 numbers pay $0.20 100 numbers pay $0.02 9886 numbers pay $0.002 I've always wanted to know if they really pay $271.37 on average for 10000 rolls. And if so, why don't they just pay $0.027 for each roll? They'd have the highest paying faucet, while it would cost them the same amount in total. Because they choose not to pay the average amount for each roll, but made it a jackpot system, cheating would be possible and largely go unnoticed. Especially if they only cheat once every few thousand rolls. Based on the odds, I would expect one $200 winner for every 2 $20 winners. I did a (manual) count on pages 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 on Big wins at FreeBitco.in: I just won $20 at FreeBitco.in! 116 times I just won $200 at FreeBitco.in! 2 times I probably miscounted a bit, but let's round it down: winning $200 is 50 times less likely than winning $20, and that makes the difference 25 12.5 times larger than it should be. There's no hard evidence, and I don't want to do 30,000+ faucet rolls myself to create circumstantial empirical evidence, but I sure as hell don't trust the site! The fact that this plausible accusation gets ignored makes me believe it even more. |

so other people have now locked him out of D->B
and if he wanted to pay B he has to go back through A and hope A has another path around to reach B Or it could be the other way around, and routing other transaction created liquidity right where the node owner needed it. If a node doesn't want to route transactions in a certain direction, they can simply raise routing fees up to the point that makes it worth their while again. but thats the hope method. not the guarantee method. you hope A has a back way round to B I'm not running a node, but I gladly pay a small fee to nodes who provide me the routing I need to make a payment. I also hope LN improves in the future. I've had transactions that couldn't instantly be sent, but it always worked a bit later again. I consider this LN growing pains, and I hope it will go away eventually. many fangirls You're not helping your credibility by talking about "fangirls". |

If you've entered the seed in your wallet, all it shows is an empty wallet. It means that your seed is incorrect, has been incorrectly supplied, or you have stored it incorrectly. Or it is the seed of an empty wallet  Not necessarily: the derivation path could be the problem, a different path gives different addresses. It's not unlikely that "Ninki" used a different path than Electrum. |
