141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BlackRock for the first time after the launch of bitcoin ETF had $0 inflow. on: April 25, 2024, 03:20:01 PM
Fidelity's FBTC has two days of $0 inflows, ARKB had $0 inflows for 3 consecutive days, BTCO, it is normal after we were talking about large flows.
If it continues for more than 3 days, then we may say that something is abnormal.

If the goods and services you sell in this market are legal, then what is the reason for making it decentralized? I can understand decentralization in mixers and services that may need to enhance privacy, but purchasing goods and products may be linked to knowing the buyer’s address, which makes it difficult to provide a service of a privacy nature. The market can be implemented for digital products not physical goods.

They are promising a lot of profits, 13% Instant Starter CashBack, 10% on all Referrals, Simple KYC, 1000x Gateway! to buy $BCCoin, but I did not find any legal data about the company. They claim that it is a company registered in the United Kingdom with this data:


Code:
CRYPTO MARKETING LTD
128, City Road, London, ECIV 2NX. UK.
Company Number: 15571337

I searched for them and did not find registration data https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09094616/filing-history
It is best not to complete KYC with this service as it may be a scam.

There is already an active thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5263722.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492293.0
It is best to lock this topic unless you want to talk about something specific.
The electricity factor is crucial because if its cost is high, you may fail to recover your capital.

What was seized? domain name and centralized Whirlpool coordinator? They already had plans to shut it down and if more continue to update to Samourai Wallet 0.99.98i_dexwp or any fork of that wallet, they will be able to use Soroban without any problem.

What happened is that Founders And CEO Of Cryptocurrency Mixing Service Arrested And Charged. The authorities may have found the data of the centralized Whirlpool coordinator, but this should not affect Samourai wallet.

It may be necessary to start thinking about using Bitcoin only as a means of conducting transactions and preserving wealth instead of  trade out to fiat.
It is true that the procedures have become more stringent, but you can still do P2P trading, buying and selling products with Bitcoin.

As fees rise there will be more demand for the Lightning Network, providing a bitcoin LN option will help a lot.

Searches for Lightning Network apps will increase and they will inevitably look for any exchange that accepts Lightning Network, providing it on Bestchange means more views.
148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much did it cost to mine 1 Bitcoin back in 2009? on: April 23, 2024, 02:15:59 PM
In 2009, the difficulty was 1 and the hash rate of a CPU was around 3 MH/s.

The average time in seconds takes to mine a block is estimated by: time = difficulty * 232  / hash rate

So, the time to mine a block of 50 BTC was about 1 * 232  / 3000000, or 1430 seconds. That means, 1430 seconds / 60 /60 / 50 BTC, or 0.008 hours per BTC.
1430 seconds is approximately equal to 23.83333 min, but the average time between each block in 2009 was ~ 13 minutes to ~ 18 minutes, which means the hash rate of a CPU used was higher than 3 MH/s. I searched for some old topics and found that types such as Intel(R) The Xeon(R) CPU and AMD Phenom(tm) were giving more than 6 MH/s which is what was mostly used for mining, giving us an average of less than 23 minutes.

149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: With fees no longer compensating are some miners shuting down? on: April 23, 2024, 01:14:48 PM
It happened when mining was banned in China. It took several months for the hashrate to recover, but since the difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks, mining pools during the 2016 block will be able to mine more blocks compared to what they did in the past.

150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do Miners still continue? on: April 23, 2024, 12:26:02 PM
Halving is a recurring event with predictable results, so all mining farms make their plans and have a vision of what will happen. Therefore, halving does not affect miners as much as prices affect them, as very low Bitcoin prices are harmful to miners and the unexpected legal legislation, as 30% tax that is being discussed.

These blocks were mined before Inscriptions and you will not find any useful data in them, extract the OP_RETURN data from hexadecimal to ASIC or UTF8.
There was a project for a site that helped you for full text search engine for Bitcoin, but it no longer works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450316.msg62154972#msg62154972
152  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Any of you sent a message @ Block #840000 through OP_RETURN? on: April 22, 2024, 04:44:08 PM
Mining pools were competing to broadcast the block first, and with the fees being worth much more than 3.125 BTC, the mining pool would not have time to broadcast a private message. It is not an important event as much as the profit that can be made.
about OP_RETURN, You can find the data here https://ordiscan.com/block/840000
153  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: E-devices suitable for backup storage of seed phrases. on: April 22, 2024, 04:32:17 PM

That's right, the device is not protected from shock, fire, acids, floods, hurricanes and volcanoes, as well as any other influences. This device is intended for temporary, non-primary storage.

True, this is closed source, but I wanted to ask you. Let's say there are backdoors (on a 20-year-old device), then how will the data stolen by them leave this device without a wireless connection?
The lack of encryption means that if a friend next door or at the airport notices it, will try to read it. Humans love to snoop and read other people's diaries, and the old design may attract attention.

Some of these devices contain a USB port, which is sufficient to transfer data, especially since the programming of these devices is old and we are talking about unencrypted text content.

I think that some old multifunctional calculator is capable of storing 12 words without USB port and burned code, with the ability to hide them easily. it will be Best option
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not even a penny on: April 21, 2024, 03:01:49 PM

So if its empty why all of these adresses can someone explain to me ?
Your wallet.dat file which contains your private keys, public keys, labels, transactions related to your wallet,....
If you do a lot of transactions or not reuse old address, then many addresses will be recorded in the wallet.dat file.

You do not need to full sync bitcoincore and download hundreds of gigabytes to know whether wallet.dat contains a balance or not, and the size of the file or the number of addresses does not mean that you will find a lot of bitcoin in it.
155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin transaction fee $917 on: April 21, 2024, 02:44:51 PM
The average block time is ~9.8 minutes, which means that we may need a longer time to return to normal fees.
Perhaps I misunderstood your comment but I wouldn't say that the average block time directly impacts the fees that are being broadcasted. Perhaps you were saying that there should be more discussing in increasing the mining time? I don't see how that would impact the fees in any meaningful way.
The difficulty will be adjusted in ~3 days, which always tries to be an average of 10 minutes. If the average is less than 10 minutes, this means that the difficulty will increase to maintain 10 minutes, and since the difficulty will increase, a longer time to find blocks and if the number of unconfirmed transactions continues to increase, it means that we will not see lower fees soon.

Like bitcoin is decentralized, same concept. but on exchange of btc / usdt, usd, eur ....
with spot trading, order-book, makers and takers .. and  API , WS .. 

You will not find a decentralized platform that converts Bitcoin to altcoin except through P2P or using wBTC tokens on the same blockchain.
If you are looking for a centralized platform that does not require KYC, you can look at this list https://kycnot.me then you can search for API, SW,...
158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Finney Freedom Prize on: April 20, 2024, 03:55:38 PM
Quote
In 2024, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) created the Finney Freedom Prize with the blessing and approval of Fran Finney, wife and partner of the civil liberties advocate, software developer, and Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney.

The Finney Freedom Prize will be awarded to the person who does the most for Bitcoin and human rights in each halving era. Hal thought that the computer could be a tool to liberate people, not to repress them. He was a pioneer of digital privacy and electronic cash systems, and eventually stood alongside Satoshi Nakamoto to help develop Bitcoin in its earliest days. The Prize was created to honor Hal for his lifelong dedication to digital liberty, and to recognize those who, like him, strive to help make Bitcoin a better tool for freedom.

The Prize will come in two parts: first, a physical award, and second, a monetary prize of 1 BTC / 100,000,000 satoshis.

https://hrf.org/finney-prize/about-the-prize/

It is nice to see Hal Finney memorial awards. You can see the nominees chosen for these four years, so I hope that someone from the forum will be on the list of nominees for the award next time.

159  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: 0.33 BTC Locked in Muhus Wallet or Has Been Hacked. on: April 20, 2024, 03:23:50 PM
If the app was not in Google Play Store then how would he downloaded it and send Bitcoins to it? He has been using the wallet to make transfers and the issue happened suddenly and recently. As of November last year, he told me that he had bitcoin of $3+k and he had sold $1k, and as of that time I wanted to buy some from him but there was no funds with me because he wanted to sell about $1+k worth of bitcoin. When something pains me and see this kind of comment, it pains me the more.

Maybe it's because from first replies I was trying to help you? If you back, I asked you here.

And he came to me to help him out and I tried my best but no avail. And when I checked the app in Google Play Store,
Are you sure it's an app? I changed the browser settings to show it like the phone screen and see what I got


I am trying to help, so I tell you that there is no Google Play app, and if there is a wallet app, it may be a different from what was mentioned because many comments on Reddit indicate that the service is a scam from the beginning.

I wish it was a different wallet and he didn't really lose 0.33 BTC

i know this is good to miners reward
but not to users Cry
i want to know what cause this skyrocket in fee after halving 840000
It is halving 840000, Spam began as many people tried to have their transactions included in block number 840000, and since the size of the block was limited, there was competition over fees reaching more than 5k sat/vB.
The average block time is ~9.8 minutes, which means that we may need a longer time to return to normal fees.
