Cool idea! That gives me the power to turn you back into a Newbie 3-5 times  I hope you see where this is going to fail Can you imagine the complains to demerit sources? Let's make it more fun: 2 received deMerit gives you 1 sdeMerit (sendable deMerit)  No, I'm not serious. Let's not do this |

~ Your kind is actually one of the reasons why the demotion button should be implemented. What do you mean by "your kind"? Lucius has more than enough Merit to stand after removing all airdropped Merits. It brings me to another thought though: what if all users without airdropped Merit get a different username color? Let's say green instead of blue. That makes it a lot easier to differentiate between airdropped and earned Merit. If this gets implemented, users with airdropped Merit should get the option to remove those and turn green. |

Are you referring to digital blade? It is the one that I saw online that is a hardware wallet. OP should give more information. The one I found was this one on Amazon. According to my findings, this is the website of digital wallet: https://www.jubiter.com/. According to what I noticed, it would likely be a custodial wallet and not generating seed phrase for their customers. That's an exchange, it could be OP confused the exchange for a wallet. If that's the case, this topic belongs in Legal as there is no technical solution. |

I've never heard of it. Google tells me it's a hardware wallet, and it's still being sold. If it follows any standards, you should be okay if you have the mnemonic seed. If all else fails, you can use the seed with Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Converter to recover the private keys, and import them into a wallet of your choice. DO NOT enter your seed words on an online computer. Start an air-gapped system running from Linux Live DVD for this, so your keys can't get leaked online. |

- How many merits to earn 1 dmerit? That should be at least 100 Merit per 1 deMerit. And, to up the stakes, using 1 deMerit should reduce your own Merit count by 10. Let's make it a challenge. You're misreading this data. The "569" is the sum of all deMerits plus the Merits sent by " userID 0". |

I would support the idea if it worked somewhat in the way of adding 1 "dmerit" per 3-5 earned merits. Cool idea! That gives me the power to turn you back into a Newbie 3-5 times I hope you see where this is going to fail |

I suggested him to go for an air-gapped system after setting the wallet. It's as if you don't want to understand what it's about. That's okay, but stop telling others it's safe. Incorrect advice on the tech board can make people lose their money. |

QR-codes aren't supposed to be "pretty", they're supposed to be machine readable. There's a lot of error correction included, but my phone can't scan the first and last QR-code in the OP. That means it defeats the purpose. I remember some threads here or news way back related to malicious bitcoin QR code generators that changes the actual wallet address to the website owner's address. It's a risk, and totally unnecessary. At best, creating an account on a website to link your addresses to your account is bad for privacy. At worse, you don't check and your money gets sent to someone else. This has nothing to do with Meta. |

Is it possible that we can use the unstoppable wallet seed to import it into any other wallets? Worst case, you can probably recover all your private keys using Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Code Converter (with the usual security precautions, such as offline, airgapped, curtains closed, and burn the computer in holy fire afterwards). Usually I'd try that before funding, but I'm only keeping small amounts in this (or any other) mobile wallet, so I didn't bother. |

Bounty spammer Bimbersot discovered he can earn Merit by spamming the tech boards with chatbot plagiarism. Please ban him: Yes, it is possible to scan multiple addresses simultaneously with your own node using the scantxoutset command in Bitcoin Core. Instead of querying each address independently, you can provide a list of addresses as an argument to the command. Here's an example of how you can scan multiple addresses simultaneously using the scantxoutset command: scantxoutset "start" "[\"addr1\", \"addr2\", \"addr3\"]" Replace addr1, addr2, and addr3 with the addresses you want to scan. You can add as many addresses as you need, separating each address with a comma. By providing multiple addresses in a single command, you can save time and speed up the scanning process. Yes, it is possible to link addresses together and determine if they come from the same wallet or seed. This can be achieved through various methods, including on-chain data analysis and transaction graph analysis.
Here are a few techniques that can be used to link addresses:
1. Common Input Ownership: When multiple addresses are used as inputs in the same transaction, it suggests that those addresses belong to the same entity or wallet. By analyzing transaction inputs and outputs, patterns can be identified to link addresses together.
2. Change Addresses: Many wallets use change addresses to improve privacy and security. When a transaction is made, the change is often sent back to a different address within the same wallet. Analyzing the change addresses and their relationships to other addresses can help identify common ownership.
3. Cluster Analysis: By analyzing transaction patterns, such as common spending habits or recurring transaction flows, it is possible to group addresses together into clusters that are likely controlled by the same entity or wallet.
4. Heuristics and Metadata: Some analysis techniques involve using heuristics and metadata associated with addresses, such as IP addresses, transaction timestamps, or known wallet behavior. These can provide additional clues to link addresses together.
It's important to note that while these techniques can be effective in certain cases, they are not foolproof. Privacy-enhancing techniques like CoinJoin, mixing services, or using separate wallets can help mitigate the ability to link addresses together.
Additionally, newer technologies like Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallets, which generate a new address for each transaction, can make it more challenging to link addresses together. No, you cannot directly obtain a wallet's seed phrases or private key just by having the wallet's seedQR. The seedQR is typically a QR code representation of the wallet's seed phrase, which is a mnemonic phrase used to generate the wallet's private keys.
To recover the seed phrases or private key from a seedQR, you would need to use a compatible wallet software or tool that can import or scan the seedQR and derive the seed phrases or private key from it. This process usually involves using a wallet application that supports the specific seedQR format and following the necessary steps for importing or scanning the seedQR Yes, there is a tool called "Electrum Recovery Tool" specifically designed for recovering the private keys from seeds generated by Electrum. This tool is similar to iancoleman's BIP39 tool but is specifically tailored to work with Electrum's seed format. You can find the Electrum Recovery Tool on GitHub at the following link: https://github.com/3rdIteration/electrum-recoveryPlease note that when using any tool for recovering private keys, it is important to exercise caution and ensure that you are using a trusted and secure environment. It is difficult to predict the future movement of Bitcoin prices with certainty. However, based on the historical patterns and the upcoming "halving" event, there may still be potential for significant returns for investors. The previous halving events have resulted in bull runs and increased prices for Bitcoin. Therefore, it is possible that the current price gains could lead to another surge in the value of Bitcoin. However, it is important for investors to carefully consider their own risk tolerance and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions. To move/update your wallet.dat file from an old desktop to a new computer, you can follow these steps: 1. Install the Bitcoin software (Bitcoin Core) on your new computer. You can download it from the official Bitcoin website.
2. Once the software is installed, run it and let it synchronize with the network. This process may take some time as it downloads and verifies the entire blockchain.
3. While the software is synchronizing, locate the wallet.dat file on your old desktop. This file contains your Bitcoin wallet data.
4. Copy the wallet.dat file from your old desktop to a USB drive or any other storage device.
5. On your new computer, navigate to the Bitcoin data directory. The default location for this directory depends on your operating system:
- Windows: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
- macOS: /Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin
- Linux: /home/YourUsername/.bitcoin
6. Replace the wallet.dat file in the Bitcoin data directory with the one you copied from your old desktop.
7. Once the Bitcoin software finishes synchronizing with the network, it should recognize your old wallet and display your funds.
It's important to note that if you had any transactions after the creation of the wallet.dat file, those transactions might not be visible until the software finishes synchronizing with the network. Remember to always keep a backup of your wallet.dat file in a secure location. It is also recommended to encrypt your wallet and use a strong password for added security. |

this is my first experience with anything Bitcoin. I used Changely to swap XRP for BitcoinSV For the record: you still have zero experience with anything Bitcoin. BSV is not Bitcoin. It's a Bitcoin Fork with the shittiest wallet. Get rid of it while you still can, and buy real Bitcoin instead. one of my electrum wallet addresses that I pulled from the application You're showing a Legacy address. Electrum creates Segwit addresses by default. That means you can't accidentally do what you did. |

I tried installing the Electrum wallet, but it never earned a profit. How have you been on Bitcointalk since 2017? |

The worst part was this: After that disconnect that laptop from internet. That way you have an air-gapped system So many people still think they're "air-gapped" if they temporarily disconnect their internet. |

I suggest him to go for an air-gapped system. A cold wallet on air-gapped system is much safer than hot wallet, and if the OP follow my suggestion then surely he'll be safe from hackers and scammers. Stop spreading incorrect information on the tech boards. Apart from being too complicated to recommend to a novice Bitcoin user, your "explanation" of a cold wallet is fundamentally wrong. At best, it will give a false sense of security, and at worse, OP will lose all his funds. |

I was surprised by the amount of BS in SamReomo's post on the tech board. Context: a Newbie asked for help with long-term Bitcoin storage. I've included my comments in this quote: I suggest you to go with Electrum, it's one of the best wallets for storing your Bitcoin. Electrum is a good wallet. But a hot wallet is never a good solution for long-term storage. If you really want to have 100% security then I suggest you to buy a separate laptop and install an operating system in it and after installing a fresh copy of the operating system, then you should install electrum wallet. That's not "100% secure". It's insecure. Any new Windows laptop should be considered insecure the moment you connect it to the internet. If you want 100% security, you'll need a cold storage setup on an air-gapped system. None of that is recommended for novice Bitcoin users. Create your wallet on Electrum and save your seed phrase on a safe location. I suggest you to save one copy of your seed phrase on your device's hard drive or ssd

After that disconnect that laptop from internet. That way you have an air-gapped system and your Bitcoin are 100% safe. This is the dumbest thing I've read today. Do not store your seed phrase in clear text on your device! An air-gapped system is a system that has never touched the internet. Once it's been online, it should be considered compromised. That's the only way to be absolutely certain it's secure. |

I'm new here ~ I want to invest in bitcoin for the long term
~
tell me a wallet to use that is safe and easy to use This is a risky combination. I've seen people make all kinds of unnecessary mistakes, like entering their seed phrases on website and lose their money. I've seen people send Bitcoin to the wrong address because of malware. No wallet is safe if you make mistakes. I suggest you to go with Electrum, it's one of the best wallets for storing your Bitcoin. Electrum is a good wallet. But a hot wallet is never a good solution for long-term storage. If you really want to have 100% security then I suggest you to buy a separate laptop and install an operating system in it and after installing a fresh copy of the operating system, then you should install electrum wallet.

That's the only way to be absolutely certain it's secure. Keep in mind that withdrawal fees from exchanges are big and you may want to not withdraw too often. There's a huge difference between exchanges. OP should check Bitcoin withdrawal fees before using the exchange. And for long term, read how to consolidate your inputs to avoid high transaction fees in the future. TL;DR: get a hardware wallet. It's the best compromise between security and convenience. |

What impression does it make on new members, especially now that Bitcoin is massively being advertised by big names like Blackrock? Blackrock's interests are most likely the opposite of my own interests. That should not be a reason to do anything here. That doesn't make sense, decodx created his account after the introduction of the Merit system, and earned all his Merit by himself.
I created LoyceV's deMerit source application in 2018. TL;DR: Part of the reason I started this thread was to (re)start a discussion about deMerit. I see good points, both in favour and against it. OP should read that topic. |

I saw LoyceV bro post this from Merit earn from there. LoyceV bro?  It is not clear what you are saying in that sentence He's referring to The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days: This is Merit abuse, but it's also allowed. An old shitposter woke up to send his airdropped sMerit to a new shitposter with a shitcoin ANN. This topic already gives him more attention than his shitcoin is worth. |

OP can post his list of spam-keywords there (in the correct format). I'll see if it's worth whitelisting. For now, I've added "Magic Square". So far there are 82 keyword matches (use CTRL-F on that page). Some of them are banned already. OP, can I leave it to you to report the other spammers? There is another option but i dont know if Mitchell will be adding it to his Bot MindlessElectron that has the rights for what you looking for. Usually, mentioning @Mitchell is enough. But "Magic Square" is quite short and might lead to innocent users getting banned. |
