I don't know how it works, but it seems impossible to get some Satoshi with a limited battery supply.  Grin , but so far is cool, maybe next in the metaverse world it could be happening in our dreams.
It seems that this is a little off topic or it is better to discuss it in mining board, but I do not think that it is a battery because the S9 mining tool works on AC, so you need a battery and a converter. If we ignore the noise and the cooling mechanism, all these things make that mining bag movable NOT portable.
As for the return, it will definitely not be a solo mining, but within mining pool. it will have a return more than some Satoshis.
I remember seeing it before, it's nothing new in EXPO 2023.
1384  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How to add message in Bitcoin tx on: June 13, 2023, 05:06:31 PM
Let us say I am transacting someone so its probably after discussion with them over a chat box or phone call and let us say some business I did with them. That would be my first line of communication. So why go through such complicated message addition if that can also screw up with the accidental money spending with this feature as discussed above?


OP_RETURN is a proof of burning because its output is not spendable and therefore it is a POB because the resulting transactions are invalid.
It is something that exists in the Bitcoin network, meaning that it is not a feature associated with a specific wallet, although some wallets may not support it.

OP_RETURN has applications such as proof-of-ownership or the transfer of additional information over an insecure channel, just as it happens when we want to initiate an encrypted communication network between two parties and we want to send the private key in both directions, or what is known as the Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol.

Using it to save data is wrong because recording data is expensive, it cannot be erased, and everyone can see it, as the cost of data is almost equivalent to the cost of a Bitcoin transaction and the number of words is limited.
There are cheaper and more efficient alternatives.

OUCH! o_e_l_e_o writes faster than me. I had to delete some parts.

I just realized OP_RETURN has a similarity with the Bitcoin Ordinal though they both are different.
Bitcoin Ordinal is an injection of extra data which is a SPAM while OP_RETURN has some advantages.
1385  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: IS ATOMIC WALLET HACK OR SCAM? 🔴 Immediately Withdraw your Funds on: June 13, 2023, 04:42:33 PM
It's better to lock your topic, there are two topics created with similar discussion:
1. Atomic Wallet compromised and not safe!
2. A Non-Custodial wallet, Atomic Wallet, being compromised

I do not think that he will do that, it is clear that this topic created only for merits, as the user is looking for such news in order to rank-up quickly.
This account (nlovric) is hacked/sold, so you should treat his posts as trolls rather than useful discussion.

The 35 million dollars received as a result of the Atomic Wallet hack were withdrawn to the Garantex exchange known for its connections with criminals. Perhaps this will be the last point of tracking these funds.
It is easy to track such hacks, whether it is from an individual or an organization, but I think that the hackers will not move coins quickly due to the ease of their detection. If the wallet owners do not despair, they may be able to recover their money.
1386  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Lightining Network Green Wallet on: June 13, 2023, 11:10:59 AM
with 2FA Protected Accounts and wallet recovery using email, Green Wallet is not a best bitcoin wallet or at least a good option, even if I used the 2 out of 3 multi-signature option, I think the fees would be a little higher.

I searched here https://blockstream.com/green/, and did not can find details about the Lightning Network, will it be affiliated with the Liquid Network, or in the same way that the Lightning Network works on the Electrum wallet.

The lesson is of course: address reuse is terrible for privacy.
Not only is the address reused, but to break the link between the sending and receiving address, you need to trust the mixer to keep your coins for a longer time, and the withdrawal is random, no matter how good the mixer is. If you withdraw directly from the deposit address, you reduce your privacy.

I wonder how long the mining campaign will last, because in the future users will be forced to leave their money at the mixer for a longer time, and the mixer will not be able to pay them. without reward payment or high deposit volumes, I do not know if this goal will be achieved.
1388  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: offline air-gapped electrum on: June 13, 2023, 08:16:29 AM
That's exactly my point - double check everything. Assuming QR codes are zero risk is a bad idea. They are only as good as the software/device which generates them, and if that device is compromised, then so too is your QR code.

I do not know, but the chances of this succeeding seem slim, because either by changing the receiving address, which I liken to a clipboard virus, or that the software that you downloaded is not official, otherwise I do not think that there is a way to QR phishing here.

Can hackers modify signed message? Or tamper with the content of master public key without downloading an unofficial version?


I know with certain software like Metamask it’s more risky because the extension uses a small portion of desktop space and only shows the first few characters and last few characters. So it’s harder to verify the address you are sending it too is one of your own wallets.

Assuming Metamask shows the first 6 characters and the last 6 characters, 12 characters total, I think that's enough.
1389  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: After Bitcoin: Investor's Exodus to Virtual Money on: June 10, 2023, 03:34:48 AM
P.S. Mining's a section of Bitcoin literature I feel is the least covered. Bet there's a treasure trove of stories there would add to this project's uniqueness, if you could convince them mining discussion users.
Mining is like a math class, it's boring and traditional, but the magic is all in it. If you can convince them to tell their stories and present them in an attractive way, it might be the first book specialized in that.
I see that most of the members are still active in the mining board, although many of them are from 2013 or even a little older.
1390  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Off line cold wallet on: June 10, 2023, 03:24:15 AM
It is best to remove all parts that may be network or connected to the Internet physically from your device, and this includes the network card and wireless modules.

To send data between the connected device, you can add a camera and scan the data using the QR code.
I prefer Install Tails OS on USB flash drive, and this is an explanation of the steps https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228801.0 , or this Tutorial How to make a cold storage Bitcoin wallet with TailsOS and USB Flash or https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

AFAIK, here's my suggestion.
  • Wasabi Wallet
  • MyEtherWallet (MEW)
I thought Wasabi Wallet was only for hot storage, since it was originally designed as an alternative to traditional mixing services, is there an option for cold storage?
MEW is an Ethereum wallet. I think the user's question here is about Bitcoin wallets.

The angle of the video filming does not indicate whether there is an individual standing in the corner, but with the negligence that I see from many people in using their bank accounts or trusting a third party to manage their passwords, I expect an increasing demand from Average Joe to buy Ledger wallets.

They won't get attention at conferences or technical forums, but for the public, the idea of having encryption data and able to access it from anywhere without fear is still attractive.
1392  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Need tips/help with transfering BTC from old Ledger to new HW wallet on: June 10, 2023, 01:59:33 AM
Thank you all for your answers.
I've read up on mixing and while it does seem great to have non traceable BTC, I think I'm not going to do it.
It seems like you have to put a lot of trust into the organisation that runs the mixer and I'm not ready to give that much trust.
In the future however, I'll only buy BTC from non-KYC exchanges and store them on a different wallet. That way I have a stash of non traceable BTC as well, just in case.

Since you want to manage your full node it is best to connect to Tor with an extra layer of VPN, all of these things will enhance your privacy.
The problem of privacy comes in that one mistake means the end of everything you are trying to build, so without knowing you will not be able to hide your identity completely, and if you are an expert in encryption, the ability of governments to track you is still possible, Monero here is a better option.
If you want privacy from your friends or family, using mixing services may be beneficial.

I prefer to slow down a bit before moving to a new hardware wallet and do your own research for the best alternative. You will find this list with many alternatives that you can search and compare among them: https://wallets.thebitcoinhole.com/

After choosing the wallet and comparing its features, you can prepare a mini-list of alternatives and ask here.


You can use non KYC exchanges https://kycnot.me/

Be careful, DYOR and do not use exchanges that are unknown or with low trading volumes.
1393  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam targeting Metamask wallet user's on: June 10, 2023, 12:59:28 AM
I just got a message from some scammer claiming to be Metamask with the statement that my Metamask wallet needs an upgrade.
Some questions just bomb into my head.

How ??
How can Metamask need an upgrade that requires them to send me a message?

They are not MetaMask but scammers who make it and all they need is your email address and make sure that you have posted your Ethereum address publicly, then the possibility that you have used MetaMask is high, they can collect this information via a social attack while sending this e-mail does not cost them effort or time.

I moved the mail to my Apple device, which I don't use for anything relating to financial transactions. I clicked on the link provided by the scammers for the upgrade process.

This is a big mistake. If you think that is a scam link, clicking on it will not change anything. They can now open your camera, take pictures of you or collect more data such as cookies, including knowing more information about you to use in next social attack.
If you are suspicious of a link, stop with the mouse on it, and the link extension will appear to you, and if that extension is hidden or a redirect link, do not click on it.


But what I saw was an open form for me to use my hand and type in my 12-word phrase, which is handing my wallet access over to the scammer or using the private key option.
If you enter any random words they accept.

This is not solid proof it is the same user and there is a huge post gap in their history, but that quote does not suggest it is a different person behind the screen.
Go to his trust page and you will find a lot of transactions. it was not the first transaction he bought in 2019. The above quote shows the first time Bitcoin was requested on this forum (it was a loan, not from faucets.)
If you want more evidence, I can create a separate topic, but I think that if you search quickly, you will find that the account has been hacked/sold.

What happened:: They must launch 1 years ago , not launched and now ico portal is hide for all , they blocked every one if talk about why no launch and why no data of launch

- You have left no clear evidence here
There is enough to confirm the suspicions, it is true that they show pictures of the team, but guess what, all the pictures are in black and white, and when you search for them on the Internet, you find no trace of these people except links related to this project, and there is no additional information, personal life or anything else.

PARTNERS page does not contain any clickable links.
The date the site was registered in 2019-07-04 However, there are no results in the Google search.
Their plans are limited to the year 2023, although they existed before it.

There is nothing trustworthy about this service.
1396  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Fun & learning Bitcoin blockchain downloaded on 1TB Silicon Power 2.5 SSD on: June 09, 2023, 11:30:58 AM
None, you'd have to make several assumption and make quick calculation. For example, i'll make prediction with these details
1. Each block will have average size 1.86MB[1]
There is an additional challenge in this estimation, which is that all blocks have become full after ordinal inscriptions. Therefore, in estimating the average, the blocks must be during the last two months, taking into account the possibility of any future soft fork.
Personally, I prefer 2-3 megabytes per day, or about 300-432 MB a day as blockchain daily increase.

Even these estimation may not hold for more than 10 years. Grin

Hey Neven Lovrić  Can you sign a message from one of your old addresses?

This is the nearest address: https://www.blockchain.com/en/address/1BMWacvRR6HS1ZVbUZ7dwKseCsX4zduVor/

Why did you lie about this part? Huh Your posts from 2013 indicate an educated personality who participated in many auctions, the quality of your technical participation was high, so how did you know about Bitcoin in 2019?

2. When and why did you buy your first bitcoin?
Answer: I bought my first bitcoin in 2019 when bitcoin was around $8,000-$9,000. I bought $1500 to $2,000 worth of bitcoins. I do not remember which exchange I used but I sold it a few months later and I do not remember why  Huh

I am glad that there may be some nice people in the world after all. My secure station is down – see https://www.btcjam.com/listings/1964/ – so I don't want to compromise my 2012-04-11 OpenPGP secret key, bit I've inserted the 512-bit Secure Hash Algorithm version 2 (SHA-2-512)

Hello!


I need a loan of 10 BTC - or as many as you have if less than 10 - until no sooner than 2013-01-16 00:00:00 UTC and no later than 2013-04-16 00:00:00 UTC.


1398  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bkex Locked Users off Their Money For 9 days and Counting.. on: June 09, 2023, 09:50:06 AM
Why wouldn't they just lock withdrawals of accounts they suspect involved in the money laundering? Seems a bit overkill to lock everyone's account if they don't suspect everyone of doing the crime or lack proof. Hopefully they get it resolved and regular users can get their funds.
In my country, doing such a violation may lead to the suspension of the license from you in the worst case, but this does not prevent you from being able to withdraw from addresses that are not related to investigations, and judicial rulings give 6 months, provided that the user has put his identity verification data. I mean that the process will be, closing all new deposits, collecting all withdrawals except those whose identity has been verified in the worst case, and even this will happen with an automatic effect for some accounts and the effect of a part of withdrawals above a certain amount.

What is happening now is scam.
1399  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: After Bitcoin: Investor's Exodus to Virtual Money on: June 09, 2023, 09:35:34 AM

Hey, I appreciate the feedback and I usually look to do innovative things. It's a process and I'm willing to donate some crypto to whoever helps improve. I'd like to donate using something like Tomochain (TOMO) which went from .37 cents to over 1 dollar in 3 months or another cheap one that may go up some X's.  
This is generous of you, your idea is good, but the problem is in describing it, because the book means intellectual property rights and many problems, so many people do not like to contribute to it.

It is better if it is a site for quotations, an online diary, or any other description that is far from the author's intellectual property rights obligation, or that ideas can be reformulated so that they lead to profit from them without the author's permission.

Try to donate the amount to those who love to create animations or comics, which will be attractive to readers and may be an income source for you and him.

If he keeps using the Ledger Nano with Electrum software, he won't need to upgrade the firmware unless he chooses to do so. Firmware updates are exclusively carried out via Ledger Live.

Sometimes there are vulnerability here that must be updated, and if they are not obligatory, the user will panic as soon as he hears such vulnerability, and it is not wise not to update the firmware, especially with the popularity of Bitcoin, and it has become the target of hackers and even traditional thieves.

last one: ledger vulnerability: Invalid addresses for certain miniscript policies

Again losing trust is the last thing you need to think about if you are a paranoid so moving to a better wallet would be better, losing part of the money is more important than wasting your health on something not worth it.
