I think this is one of the main reasons people are scared to invest in bitcoin, There is a very real possibility of over 1 million btc being dumped by satoshi and crashing the price.
Why would he kill his own creation? Also, how would he withdrawal almost $7 billions to his bank account? Or $20 billions if he sold at the ATH of $20k? (lol)

I understand and I agree, I did copy information from earlier posts, but isnt that done like by 1000s of people. I mean, I never copied them entirely, I used some info, added more to it and posted.
It is still plagiarism. I understand my mistake here and I really want to assure the admins/mods thats this is never gonna happen ever again. Would really appreciate If I can get a chance of unban.
Or if there is anything I can do to assure that I genuinely want to correct my mistakes and continue.
I don't think so. You should have read and followed the rules Yesterday, somebody I reported some time ago got banned for the same reason as you and made an appeal post. That's how SaltySpitoon - a Global Moderator - answered: No there is not. People are occasionally unbanned after making a genuine mistake. Intentionally breaking the core rules of the forum will not be forgiven. If your "friend" got your account banned, both you and them are not welcome to post here anymore.

You probably got banned for plagiarism. If that was the case, your ban is permanent and irreversible. Your post: There are a lot of ways of earning from crypto and to switch to a full-time crypto will require you to utilize all these ways so you can earn your maximum best. Also, you might not be able to hold for a long term this also helps to increase your gains because you might need some money at some point in time. But for me quitting your job when you are new to cryptos is kinda risky because this cannot provide you an accurate income because they are volatile and sometimes there are campaigns that are a scam and failed. But if you are doing this for a long time then yes quit your job.
Copied from: Well, that depends on how successful you will or can be as a day trader. The fact is that many activities go on in this cryptoworld we are. I mean, there are a lot of ways of earning from crypto and to switch to a full time crypto will require you to utilize all these ways so you can earn your maximum best. Also, one factor is that you might not be able to hold for a long term( this also helps to increase your gains) because you might need some money at some point in time. You should also check your country and their stands with cryptocurrency since that might influence your decisions on which type of activity you would participate. For instance if your country has banned ICOs you should be careful about how you would invest in crypto so that you don't get stranded. So you can switch to full time crypto but that would need a lot of caution or better still you can combine partial crypto, and then you also continue with your designated job.
Edit: stompix came here first (which means that you did that more than once)

AFAIK there was no pre-mine. Everyone could mine Bitcoins back in 2009. Satoshi had a lot of coins because he was mining his own creation from day 1, and with those coins he made his first transaction.
As to how many coins he has, no one can know for sure. But some people estimate that he has around 1 million BTC.

Wow. Glad to see that there is a mod checking those report threads and banning the spammers from time to time. If it wasn't for @DarkStar's post, I wouldn't have recognized the OP. Edit: the typical "my friend did that" excuse

The devs have been MIA for some time. The last wallet update was February 24 and they still don't have any plans on supporting Segwit (or even working on the wallet). Why keep using Mycelium? Move to Samourai or some other wallet which devs actually CARE about Bitcoin.
|

Yes, the fork that will happen next month is the one I was referring to....
I wish the developers of the Electron wallet would tell us their plans soon so we know if we should keep our Bitcoin Cash on the Electron wallet or move it somewhere else.
Thanks
Well, Electron Cash lets you have full control over your private-keys. So even if they didn't support the fork, that's all you need to import your address in a different wallet that does.

But is it not possible, although rare these days, to receive and use a coin, after the transaction has no confirmations? It is insecure. But I remember some discussions where zero confirmation transactions were still possible.
There is some currency, such as nano, which is based on something similar to that. There is even some exchange that operates BCH like that. Leaving transactions virtually instantaneous. It is very unsafe and risky. Maybe stupid. But it's a possibility.
Yes. You can spend unconfirmed coins (i.e Electrum has this option). But the transaction will only get confirmed once the previous ones does aswell.

Do you mean the fork that will happen next month[1]? I don't think you will need to do anything as the fork will be more of an "upgrade" than a chain split. Just hold your coins in your Electron Cash wallet and I'm sure the devs will update it to support the upgrade.

Most of the posts you made in the Bitcoin Discussion board are not merit worthy. And even if they are, the whole section is a spamfest. I took a look at a few of them and some of them were made after ~15 pages of spam and shitposts. It's not like a merit source or regular user will go through this amount of spam to try finding good posts to help.
Your post (being HQ or not) will also get buried pretty quick by the other shitposters. That's why I avoid posting at the Bitcoin Discussion board.
BTW, the amount of "bounty posts" you make aren't helping either.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I have seen multiple articles and people saying that Brain wallets are not safe and that you shouldn't use them. It's not to do with length, but entropy. Humans are terrible at creating randomness, even what you think is hard to guess could in all probability be guessed with enough iteration.
Family names for example are easy to guess, there's a finite number of them and a vast portion of names are from a set of only a few hundred.
What's the chance of you remembering what names are, the spelling, punctuation and ordering? Fairly low I suspect, humans are also terrible at remembering explicit data like that.
As soon as people start trying to be clever, the probably shifts from theft to irrecoverable loss. Just use the cryptographic keys the way they are supposed to be used, 256 bits of entropy created with a CSRNG https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/41619And: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet#Low_Entropy_from_Human-Generated_Passphrases

So, you basically just copied this whole article[1] and pasted it here without giving the proper credits? FYI this is against the rules, and will result in a permaban from the forum; ( archive) [1] https://authy.com/guides/binance/

Just wondering... Cobra turned into a Bitcoin Cash fan. Don't think I am trolling, but.... Wasn't the "Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin" tweet an April Fools prank? That's his last tweet (from today): Very strange, but it seems the @Bitcoin account was suspended, and then deleted by Twitter, and somebody registered it just now completely fresh. I hope the new owner supports the true Bitcoin, and recognises that Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin! https://twitter.com/CobraBitcoin/status/982980460526690305

Usually I just google "Bitcoin", "cryptocurrency" or anything else I want to read about and go to the News tab. It's easier than having to go through multiple websites and keep reading repeated news.
The sad part is that it's pretty hard to find an article that is worth my time. Most of those websites tend to either shill shit-ICO's for money or FUD Bitcoin.

Considering their good reputation with hardware wallet which have good security and good community/customer service, i'm sure this wallet will be favorite among user who needs cryptocurrency wallet or/and don't want run full nodes. Jaxx and Exodus popularity could be beaten by Ledger if the application at least as good as their hardware wallet.
The app still requires you to have a Ledger. You don't need to buy a hardware device to use Jaxx and Exodus, so you can't compare both of them with the new Ledger app. But there's no info whether the wallet give user full access to their cryptocurrency private key or seed.
It should be pretty obvious that you will have access to your seed, which you can use to import your wallet into a different wallet (like Electrum).

Do merits regenerate through time?
Only if you are a merit source. Or only merit sources can make them?
Every merit source has a quote of free sMerits that are refilled every 30 days. The smerits we have at the beginning won't regenerate after it is over?
That's true. Only we will get 1/2 from merits we received right?
Yes. You get 0.5 sMerits for every merit you receive. That's the only way to get more sMerits if you are not a merit source.

It takes some time to get your transaction confirmed in the blockchain. When it gets at least 1 confirmation, the user B will be able to spend the coins. If the transaction never gets confirmed, the transaction will be dropped from the mempool after a few days and the coins will "come back" to user's A wallet, where he will be able to spend them again.

Yeah, of course. I had accelerated my transaction to unban my "evil" IP. I had set very low fee, but it(websites) done their job well.
No. You submited your transaction, the website did absolutely nothing and your transaction got included in the next block because there was space for it. Like Loyce said above, many blocks are barely half full You are too sure. Maybe it is not important now, when the BTC blockchain is unloaded with transactions. But in future, it is demanded very much. I did transaction to unban "evil" IP that was 2 satoshis per byte weight.
Nah... Again, I can say for 100% sure that from the links above, only ViaBTC's accelerator works. Either you paid because you are naive, or you are the scammer owner of the websites and want some users to scam (I hope it's the first option). P.S: I see that all those services are claiming to have some kind of agreement with many Bitcoin pools but none of them will show any evidence. I remember that the last time a "transaction accelerator" claimed that and got famous, bitkilo - who works for the Bitcoin.com mining pool - came to their post to explain they were lying.
