Thanks for the update the last .gz you had I think was from September.
Correct (August 6 and September 2).

As a FYI, you generally will not want to host files on a server. You will probably want to host files in a storage bucket that can be accessed by a server.
Amazon charges $0.09 per GB outgoing data, that's ridiculous for this purpose (my current 5 TB bandwidth limit would cost $450 per month when maxed out). And Amazon wants my creditcard instead of Bitcoin.

Quote
If you want to update a file that takes a lot of resources, you can create a VM, execute a script that updates the file, and uploads it to a S3 (on AWS) bucket. You would then be able to access that file using another VM that takes fewer resources.
Still, that's quite excessive for just 2 files that are barely used.

Quote
Separately, sorting lists are not scalable, period.
Actually, sort performs quite well. I've tested:
10M lines: 10 seconds (fits in RAM)
50M lines: 63 seconds (starts using temporary files)
250M lines: 381 seconds (using 2 GB RAM and temporary files)
So a 5 times larger file takes 6 times longer to sort. I'd say scalability is quite good.

It just takes a while because it uses temporare disk storage. Given enough RAM, it can utilize multiple cores.

Quote
There are some things you can do to increase the speed, such as keep the list in RAM, or cutting the number of instances the entire list is reviewed, but you ultimately cannot sort an unordered very large list.
The 256 GB RAM server idea would cost a few dollars per hour, so I'll do with less.

I would consider this a very poor feature.
Well, it's under Advanced for a reason.

Quote
Do they have a warning message before executing this deletion?
Right after creating it, there's a warning:
Backup missing

When entering the wallet, the warning gets bigger:
No backup - no bitcoins! In
order not to lose your bitcoins
when your smartphone is lost
or broken please make a
backup of this address NOW
and keep it in a safe place!

It also gives the option to BACKUP NOW or BACKUP LATER.

When deleting the account, it asks:
Quote
Do you want to delete account "X" holding n mBTC?
There's an option to:
Quote
Only delete the private key and keep as a read-only account
After clicking YES, it gives a big popup with "Are You Sure? This cannot be undone!" and the addresses you're deleting.

Quote
However, even if there is a warning, I always do not read them in full unless it's very short and very precise.
That's on you Tongue

I've never used this feature, but after checking, it looks foolproof.
In short: I don't think it's a poor feature at all!

what if I use a link shortener to simplify the url/text before it's generated into a QR code?
maybe, there is a secure decentralized text/link shortener  Grin Grin Grin
QR-codes are tricky enough already (malicious QR code readers steal Bitcoin), adding a third party only makes it worse.
13044  Other / Meta / More useless/useful* Bitcointalk user data on: November 28, 2020, 09:55:11 PM
Background
I was asked to collect some data on users above Newbie.

The data
A few days ago, I took a snapshot of "my" 53M unedited/deleted posts. This includes 2 categories:
  • All older posts scraped recently
  • All unedited posts scraped since the end of July 2019
From this, I checked how many unique users had at least 30 posts (including all posts that can be deleted by now), so I for sure exclude all users lower than Jr. Member (but include some false positives). Result: 153,116 users.

I've scraped the profile of those 153,116 users. This took a few days, so very recent changes aren't included.
I checked the actual forum Rank, so no "Founder", "Administrator", "Staff", "Global Moderator", "VIP", "Donator" or "Copper Member".
It turns out 76,250 users are still Newbies and 802 users are "Brand new", those aren't what I was looking for.

That leaves:
Jr. Member: 12,973 users
Member: 29,259 users
Full member: 18,215 users
Sr. Member: 9,038 users
Hero Member: 4,138 users
Legendary: 2,441 users
Total: 76,064 users above Newbie.

See the full list in CSV-format.
Sample (userID,Activity,Merit,Rank,username):
Code:
3,364,2598,Full Member,satoshi
4,429,268,Sr. Member,sirius
10,132,101,Full Member,Xunie
12,662,251,Sr. Member,nanaimogold
13,875,1014,Legendary,SmokeTooMuch
14,490,504,Hero Member,The Madhatter
23,237,100,Full Member,1 currency now
24,202,106,Full Member,dwdollar

Some users have a comma in their name. I put the username on the last column, so pay extra attention to those usernames:
Code:
epi 1:10,000
Brunt, FCA
batman, not crabman
3a6aukaJIeU,

He does not recall getting a private key when he created the account😭
Suggestion: create a new account in the same way (ideally on a different device), and see if any of the steps rings a bell.

Quote
Does this mean he cannot do anything but to watch it sit there?
Correct. The point of a watch-only wallet is that it can't be taken without extra information.
13046  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: List of all Bitcoin addresses ever used (OP rewritten, updates work again) on: November 28, 2020, 07:47:21 PM
Just yesterday, I got a good deal on a new VPS (more memory, more disk, more CPU and more bandwidth). It's dedicated to only this project (and I have no idea how reliable it's going to be). I've updated the OP.

There's a problem though. There are:
756,494,121 addresses according to addresses_in_order_of_first_appearance.txt.gz
756,524,407 addresses according to addresses_sorted.txt.gz
Obviously, these numbers should be the same. I haven't scheduled automated updates yet, I first want to recreate this data from scratch to see which number is correct.

Epic #FAIL:  Start a topic titled, “Do you want more or less freedom?”—and then enforce the
Not Safe For Wife
You're still missing the point, that's an existing rule. If you want to fight it, feel free to open a topic but I don't think the Bitcointalk Administration is going to allow you to posts hairy cunts on the forum without warning.

Ordinarily, as a gentleman, I would not speak ill of a man’s wife in an Internet argument.  But if you want to hide behind her, and she is a classless harridan who disrespects fine art, then she is fair game.
Lol, good luck with that Tongue

I thought I could change the watch only to a standard type wallet by importing private keys?
You said you don't have the private keys. If you have them: import them!
13049  Other / Meta / Re: Any Forum rules against racism or racist terms ? (official or unofficial) on: November 28, 2020, 05:08:29 PM
Now that is trying to push the freedom of expression. I do not think that it is part, maybe a banter or two but a blatant comment pointed at a race is not freedom of expression.
Freedom of expression isn't only meant to say bunnies are cute, you need it for controversial statements. You can't have freedom of expression when pre-selecting the subjects you're allowed to discuss.
13050  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Please critique my paper-wallet creation steps on: November 28, 2020, 12:17:49 PM
5. Don't rely on software to create a random seed, use coin tosses.
Is it more secure than CSPRNG library or /dev/urandom?
I don't know, but a coin toss is a lot easier to ensure nobody has tampered with it.
13051  Other / Meta / Re: LoyceV's Weekly Trust list overview in Human Readable Format on: November 28, 2020, 11:56:36 AM
Update:
Trust list of the week to avoid loading the large index page: Trust list for: Timelord2067 (Trust: +8 / =7 / -0) (DT1 (-11) 540 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP)
Or use BPIP for navigation. Or https://loyce.club/profile.html?id=131361

Links updated! I just realized I ran the Trust update before the Merit update, so all Merit values are from last week. I'm currently fixing it, so the new links don't work yet.

Update: it's still wrong, there was a bigger delay than I thought. I'll fix it tomorrow, which means this week's URL will change again.

I messed up more: I accidentally deleted my most recent Trust scores, so I had to download them again. That took a while, and now the Trust scores will be from today (Sunday) instead of last Thursday (which is my usual).
I'm done messing around, I finally got it right.

The top-navigation-bar will take a couple more hours day to finish updating (due to CPU limitations).

so you never get mad when people say you are a dirty bot
I think you have a serious problem if you get mad because of what someone on the internet calls you.

Quote
And don't even get me started about gender topic, and the fact that  we have two genders in forum profile settings
Good point. One is enough:
Code:
13. Miss Bitcointalk ............... There are no girls on the internet

maybe people will ask to add all other 6538 invented new age genders.
There you go: Is theymos a cis white male gender fascist?.
And the answer is very simple:
Quote from: theymos
Unfortunately, I think that you misunderstand the system. Given the trillions of different gender identities, we have adopted a coding system in which each gender identity is assigned a 64-bit number. For example, and only for illustration (I do not wish to presume your wingspan), Apache-attack-helicopter-gendered people would need to input the easy-to-remember code 0x9b68d151aeefa34f. In order to maintain compatibility with legacy systems, however, this is done by submitting the form multiple times with different genders. For example, in this case you would input Male Female Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Male Male Male Male. Simple! Now, it may seem discriminatory to assign Male 1 and Female 0, but not to worry! The coding is designed so that you can also input the inverse and get the same result. And to avoid left-handed bias, you can also enter it in opposite order. In fact, you can just put in whatever sequence of entries you want and the result will be the same.

So you see, bitcointalk.org is in fact the most progressive website ever, and I am ashamed to live in a world in which this system isn't yet codified into law.
13053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I Download The Blockchain Outside Of Bitcoin Core? on: November 28, 2020, 10:50:20 AM
There was another way to speed up the download of blockchains is to upgrade to SSD and increase ram.
If you put the chainstate-directory on SSD, it already gives a significant performance increase while you can keep the large blockdata on HDD.
More RAM helps a lot too.

If I can remember correctly, LoyceV had compiled a file including datas of this year even. You can download the file and use that
I shared a pruned blockchain, but stopped updating it. The last update was 14 months ago. See Bitcoin Core pruned blockchain: download it here! (DON'T DO THIS!).

Quote
as LoyceV is more than enough trusted
Thanks, but:
You have to trust not only me, but also my VPS and shared hosting too, and I can't make any guarantees about the last 2.

In short: having Bitcoin Core download it's own blocks is by far the recommended method. On a fast computer with fast internet it can be done well within a day.

Racism is allowed, it's part of freedom of expression.
Well, not really; otherwise hate crimes wouldn't be considered as such.
I guess you meant that it's allowed in the forum
That was implied, this topic is in Meta not Politics & Society.

When TF did Habibi become a racial slur?
That's another problem with racism or "being offended": it's subjective!



That being said: I love that it's allowed to say (almost) anything you want on Bitcointalk. It's up to each user how they handle that freedom.

it would be even better if the QR code can be simplified, so it can be smaller.
Code:
qrencode version 3.4.4
Copyright (C) 2006-2012 Kentaro Fukuchi
  -l {LMQH}    specify error correction level from L (lowest) to H (highest).
I tried all options, and even the lowest still has error correction: it still works if I cover a small corner of the QR. According to Wikipedia, error correction goes from 7% to 30%.
Instead of reducing error correction, you could try to add a Lego Bitcoin logo in the middle.
This seems like a good activity to do with the kids today Cheesy



I tried with 2 phones, and only one (the oldest) could scan the Lego.

Do you really have to ask? Forum rules don't care where the images come from.

I reported your post. You posted it in my topic. In work-from-home-year-2020 it's more of a Not Safe For Wife but worse than that, I have kids walking around here too. And even though we don't raise them to be snowflakes, they don't need to see all hairy details either.

But I admit, my feelings are hurt:  I am shocked, outraged, and indignant!
Great! All this helps you grow a thicker skin.

What happened this week with the Custom Trust list viewer?
This happened:
I f*cked up Sad I ran the update 3 hours too early (also for my Merit data), so theymos' data dump wasn't updated yet. For Merit data this means more than a day delay, my Trust list update should be ready about 3 hours from now.

Sometime in the next week (before Saturday one would imagine hope) the DT "lottery" will occurs yet again with all the power plays and wailing that brings.
See DT1-election: Rank up pipeline (also not updated yet) for the ever increasing list of potential candidates.
