the scammer should be tagged. Then tag him! Anyone can leave feedback, and it's the only way to further decentralize the Trust system. |

Personally, I welcome intelligence in any form. This forum need all that it can get.  AI isn't "intelligent", that's just the marketing talking. It is at best a language model, spitting out things that seem impressive at first sight, but are utterly disappointing when you look a bit better. |

It would have been better if different addresses are used for each people. This can help us to know if the person paid or not. It even makes keeping track for OP easier, if all addresses have a label, say "DoublerHunter's loan repayment". The moment a transaction appears, it's obvious what it's for. What if it is altcoins? They always have just one address. I know they can have many addresses but the altcoins wallet developers makes it to be only one address. Are there USDT wallets that has many addresses? That's irrelevant, this is a Bitcoin loan. Don't use (shitcoin) wallets that force address reuse. And it sounds very much to me like an "exit scam" even though I didn't think that the word can be used in this context but it actually fits it. I think the word I was looking for is "retirement plan". |

I (like most programmers) have way more energy for coding than I do for manual labor Relatable. That's how my projects usually start  I keep hitting your Merit limit of 50 per month. Maybe it's time to patch that |

Either that or they've somehow became worse at communicating with the outside world over the last few weeks/months. Bitcointalk gives me a Captcha more often when I click view "All", which means Cloudflare is doing it's thing. This may be the reason: By a lucky occasion Cloudflare isn't blocking me from accessing Bitcointalk today and I can finally reply. It doesn't explain the silence on any other communication channels though. |

Additional Notes: I have waited about a year for the repayment but failed to receive anything. Considering how often you post scam accusations from your loan thread, it makes me think some users use your service as an "exit plan": get a loan, disappear. Loan Amount: BTC0.0045
Loan Purpose: personal
Loan Repay Amount: BTC0.005
Loan Repay Date: 45 days
Type of Collateral: None
Bitcoin Address: bc1qlsu5nqnyjem6wm3zgsual9jsufdhwd5jcg85jm I have accepted your loan request and sent BTC to your wallet. Please check your account balance. Please repay on or before the due date to 31o4FAgLfkBaRReeZLqZZtbrzUtFdaT3jb I haven't supported the Flag, because I can't verify for myself if it was paid back. Your repayment address has 176 transactions. It would be much better for keeping track if you don't reuse the same address. |

.sv is the TLD for El Salvador. That makes a lot more sense indeed. |

hypothetically speaking, its gonna be a while before people start training models for the sake of imitating Bitcointalk accounts A decent AI doesn't need special training, you'll just set it loose and tell it to make you money. If it's a good AI, it'll keep the money for itself. AI is a hype, it's added to anything now, from browsers to phones. The fact that people sell the idea of an AI to make money instead of having the AI make money directly tells me all I need to know about that "AI". Let's say I don't fear the AI that's being sold (although the spam is annoying), but I'm pretty sure we should fear the (future) AI that's being kept private. |

not very much RAM was being used according to Xubuntu's built-in task manager Did you miss this part? The other memory is not empty, it's probably in use as file cache. and when I put in 16 GB instead of 8 GB of RAM, I noticed absolutely no difference. No difference in memory usage, or no difference in disk writes? I guess it depends on what your Electrum server is doing: Bitcoin Core would benefit from larger dbcache, I don't know anything about Electrum server. I highly doubt the processor would impact the amount of disk writes. Agreed. |

I don't know is it the right topic to discuss this issue. But I think the users of this topic may be familiar with this extension, so I am asking here. Does anyone here use the AI Content Detector - Copyleaks ? And if you have used it, how safe do you think it is? I haven't used it, and I'm not going to risk my privacy by doing so. Chances are it sends everything you see in your browser to their server. That includes PMs, email and banking. |

It's not a good sight to have a reputable member leave the forum with bunch of red tags on their account I wouldn't like this either if I ever leave Bitcointalk. Lauda has several tags too, it doesn't make her "legacy" look any better. |

any comments welcome I don't see the problem: if I leave this place, nobody else has access to my account, and nobody else can use it to post. Besides, I've been called an AI for years, so I'm pretty sure someone's going to notice the firmware change. |

And most of the titles are gone again, so it didn't work from a cronjob. Satoshi's Merit history looks fine, those most be amongst the first titles I scraped. I hate it when a script behaves differently from within a cronjob than when I run it. I've manually restarted it, let's see if that fixes it again. Update: manually running the script fixed it again. I guess I'm back to manually starting things, which means I'll forget it once in a while.... |

@OP I just checked all the addresses you mentioned above if these are the addresses you want to dump private keys you're just wasting your time if you check them directly to any block explorer all of them have 0 balances except to the first address but still it's not worth recovering because it only has 10k sats. Those addresses were used to mine 50 BTC each, and received "send to pubkey" transactions. Mempool.space doesn't show them, but Blockchair.com does. It's debatable which block explorer is technically correct, but in my opinion showing the transactions is the most useful option. |

It should be something like this (not tested): I would wget the .gz file, pipe it through gunzip, and go from there. That way you only need to download a fraction of the file if you kill it once you reach amounts lower than the desired minimum. |

I just consolidated many inputs at 7.2 sat/vbyte. I tried 3 months ago at 5.3 sat/vbyte, but it was still unconfirmed.
I manually edited (a copy of) my Electrum wallet, to remove the unconfirmed transaction (search for the txid). After that, I opened the same wallet again without going online, and Electrum let me create a new transaction.

can we have a list of only addresses with more than 1 BTC - the so called Rich List.
I need one because the full list is more than 2GB now and that tends to slow some programs down. So you want to steal millions by brute-forcing Bitcoin addresses, but you can't figure out how to download blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance_LATEST.tsv.gz (which is sorted by highest balance first) and use only the top of this file? |

As a temporary solution for now I'm thinking I might use an extra 2.5 inch HDD from one of my old laptops and dedicate it to just the electrumx db folder (this is where all the writes are happening) so I can keep it separate from the SSD the OS and Bitcoin Core are installed on. Obviously performance will be worse but I'm not sure it will be bad enough to really matter for me. Either that or I will use a much cheaper extra 256 GB SSD instead. I wouldn't move the writes to a HDD. That's terrible for performance. Note that cheap SSDs are usually lower quality, both in endurance as well as performance. I'd just let it be, keep backups of the data, and by the time your SSD is "worn" in a few years, replace it with a bigger one. |
