My friends don't have much experience in crypto, and I often hear the word blockchain, so I want to ask all of my friends? namely, what is blockchain, its function and how does it work? please help to explain?
Blockchain is a special format of storing data. A special type of database, very good for decentralized and trustless use because, especially if built in the way Bitcoin's blockchain is done, they will not allow modifying data from the past. The rest of info, especially details on what does Bitcoin's blockchain store and how, will be there in the links already provided by others. |

But the problem is that when you try to explore an address with many trasctions with mempool explorer, it takes forever...
It has happened only once to me in ~14 months of using it. I would be more than happy to see somebody installing Fulcrum, tell how it's working and maybe also make a short tutorial. If nobody does it, I may try that myself in the not-too-far future. |

Eu unul nu sunt eligibil pentru niciuna dintre aceste oportunitati: la prima nu am experienta cu Metamask, iar la a doua nu ma incadrez deoarece nu am jucat niciodata la vreun cazinou (fie el online sau fizic) si, probabil, nici nu o voi face vreodata. Dar, daca se inscrie cineva, mult succes! Criteriile nu sunt deloc dificile, pentru cei eligibili.
Multumesc. Metamask nici eu nu sunt grabit sa incerc. In general imi cam displace universul Ethereum si chestiile dezvoltate in jurul acestuia - de la puzderia de shit tokens si platforme cu erori grave pana la preturi aberante pe tranzactii (nu stiu daca mai e cazul, ca nu am urmarit). Deci nu am experienta cu Metamask si nici tragere sa dezvolt asemenea experienta. Iar la celalalt concurs... nu sunt chiar atat de mare jucator de caziou incat sa fac review-uri mai bune decat ar putea face altii "mai umblati". Asadar ii dau pass si la acela.
Nu stiu daca ai vazut, ai castigat chiar doua din premiile lui MJ, felicitari! Eu am castigat unul, iar alti romani nu stiu, nu am vazut. |

Need your guys opinions
It always depends what are you using for that electrum server, personal use or public internet. I've played a little with EPS and I didn't like it, then I went for Electrs (on WSL). For my personal use it's just perfect and I was able to also install on top of it a block explorer too. Fulcrum .. I had the same dilemma too (it sounds more a BCH software supporting BTC too than something built for BTC) plus when I've done my setup (and had the time for it) I didn't really see reviews from people using Fulcrum, especially on a Windows PC (with WSL, remember?). Meanwhile I've also read (but I am not 100% sure) that Fulcrum may be using a couple of hundreds of GB of disk space for its data (I would be happy to be corrected if it's the case), compared to the 36 GB Electrs data is taking me now. Electrum X I didn't manage to install. Because of some settings of mine and things I've read I was avoiding Docker. Plus this is more an enterprise solution, for publishing "in the wild", which Electrs doesn't offer (hence keeping Electrs lighter). You may also want to discuss also about Blockstream's fork of Electrs. It's advertised on Electrs Git as a solution for having something like Electrs for the public/internet. It's advertised to be resource hungry, but also very efficient. Plus it'll work with mempool.space, if you want a block explorer too. |

Edit: deja initiativa ta a si dat roade (!!), MJ a raspuns pozitiv solicitarii tale. Hehe, ma bucur ca am avut o idee buna! Eram aproape sigur ca MJ va raspunde (pozitiv) sugestiei. Pana la urma, orice om cu capul pe umeri ar fi facut la fel. Ca sa nu mai zic si faptul ca, oricum, el incasase banii de la cei care cumparasera locurile cu plata. Era culmea sa se fi facut ca ploua si sa fi pastrat si banii oamenilor, dar el e serios, nu se preteaza la asa ceva. Una peste alta, ce sa zic... noroc sa avem  Cred ca ai scapat un amanunt important. Banii pentru locurile cu plata nu au intrat in buzunarul lui MJ, nu, nici pe departe. Acei bani au ajuns ca donatii directe la diferite ONG-uri si agentii caritabile. MJ ceruse doar dovada acelor plati. Dar te iert, inca e inceputul anului  |

to ask about me, who is old, is it worth investing in bitcoin or not?
Just think like this: 14 years (and a few days) ago there was no bitcoin. Now it worth a lot. And think farther: do you expect to live more 5-10 years at least? I really think so. This being said I see no good reason you would not invest in Bitcoin. Of course, make sure you invest only money you afford to lose or at least to keep locked in bitcoin for long. And please invest if you think so, not because of strangers' advises over internet. Plus, if you can leave it to your children, even better. Make sure you set up correctly your wallet, hacks, scams and phishing are real. Easiest is to buy a hardware wallet and keep your coins there (and make sure the backup seed is always stored offline in multiple copies). |

Mi s-a raspuns (surprinzator) in privat de catre cineva (cu care ma inteleg bine si) care are oarecum legatura cu treaba aia. Iar tie ti-a raspuns 1miau: concursul este doar un pic de reclama si un mod de a aduce votanti la "problema" lor de design, ca, hai sa fim seriosi, nu e diferenta atat de mare intre cele 4 propuneri  Da-mi si mie un link... cine stie, poate imi vine vreo idee buna...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432536In ceea ce priveste concursul cu placuta aurita, sunt de acord (cu tristete spun asta, dar e un capitol incheiat). Referitor insa la concursul organizat de MJ, hai sa mai stam oleaca. I-am adresat acum o intrebare, daca poate rula concursul fara a mai acoperi restul locurilor, motivand cu 3 argumente foarte bune, zic eu. Hai sa vedem ce zice... OK, multumesc de initiativa, asa ramane momentan, unul il sterg, iar celalalt il mai pastrez pana la sfrasitul lui martie (adica Q1). Edit: deja initiativa ta a si dat roade (!!), MJ a raspuns pozitiv solicitarii tale. |

It may worth mentioning that cyberterrorist is now shown as banned by the BPIP extension.
Plus, this already got more and better answers than deserved.

M-am interesat ieri şi am aflat ceva, dar din sursă la mâna a doua. Înţeleg că bancomatele Shitcoins şi totodată camerele sunt în permanenţă monitorizate de cineva. Prin asta înţeleg că procesul KYC e declanşat manual, nu automat. Pai scrie si la ei pe pagina: Daca clientul nu este vizibil, fata ii este acoperita, se afla in lateralul ATM-ului , ne rezervam dreptul de a verifica identitatea clientului chiar daca suma este sub limita de 1000 euro.In acest moment singura metoda acceptata este pentru acoperirea fetei este o masca medicala. Daca clientul poarta un hanorac cu gluga pe cap, şapcă sau ochelari de soare, va fi intrebat sa le inlature. Daca nu raspunde la mesajele afisate de ATM va fi obligat sa faca verificarea identitatii. ...deci nu ma mira deloc operatiunea sa aiba loc (cel putin partial) cu operator uman. Este interesant totusi ca masca de COVID este acceptata momentan. Dar doar masca, deci ce s-a discutat - ochii, urechile samd - pot ramane indicii destul de bune pentru verificare. Sunt curios insa sa aflu cum functioneaza cele oferite de Pro Hash, BitMahavi si AtmBytes. Si, uite, luna asta o sa merg pe la toate sa aflu si am sa revin cu informatii. Sunt, dupa multi ani, in sfarsit, mai liber, asa ca o sa profit de aceasta libertate pentru a face mai multe lucruri pe care le aman de mult timp. Si acesta este unul dintre ele.
Ma bucur sa aud ca ai mai mult timp (sper ca e de bine, adica legat de terminarea lucrarilor de amenajare si nu de pierderea vreunui job). De-abia astept sa vad mai multe recenzii! |

Vazusem demult concursul. L-am considerat mult prea de nisa - este clar pentru cei cu talent si pricepere in a face BBCode pentru semnaturi. Si necesita si mult timp. E mai mult munca platita decat concurs. Dar da, acum ca ma gandesc, poate ca ar fi trebuit adaugat, nu ma gandisem indeajuns de bine... Si inca ceva, legat de "romani reactivati", daca iti aduci aminte de recenta noastra discutie legata de merite pentru postari vechi: mi-au dat recent niste romani merite:
Da, observasem, mi-a vibrat bratara inteligenta (vai ce rau suna), dar nu am dat chiar asa mare atentie. Unul din romanii reactivati chiar are probleme si a cerut ajutor in sectiunea internationala - nu reuseste sa primeasca la timp e-mail de la blockchain.com si deci nu poate face ceva opratii cu portmoneul de acolo. Din pacate nu stiu cum l-as putea ajuta... P.S.: hai ca acum am observat, chiar inaintre sa postez. bluedeep v-a "incaltat" si pe tine si pe IntimitateaG cu merite, in timp ce speeder i-a dat si lui theymos. Asta e, o sa zica lumea ca suntem toti conturi alternative ale lui theymos  
Si daca suntem la capitolul "munci simple, dar platite", voi adauga: Campanie: [OPEN] SatoshiAuction Review Campaign | Get paid upfront for your review !Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433082Manager: EdwardardSe castiga: 0.002023 BTC / persoana (recenzie) Ca prim pas ne inregistram in topicul respectiv cu nume, rang, adresa de bitcoin. Cine este acceptat va primi niste bani in avans si va trebui sa scrie in maxim o saptamana in topicul de Anunt o recenzie la jocul SatoshiAuction. Nu se accepta conturi multiple, nu se platesc recenzii multiple. Se accpta doar de la Sr. Member in sus.
A mai fost inca o campanie asemanatoare, dar s-a umplut... scuze...
Ca informatie, la urmatoarea editare voi sterge din lista de la inceput cele doua concursuri mai degraba inactive... |

While I clearly understand your point, I find it somehow making your live more difficult for not enough of good reasons (of course, you may see my point superficial). I clearly know that your security is better than mine. But I simply keep my coins on hardware wallet, so I avoid easily most of the possible bad surprises in one step. And the rest - if my passwords get stolen, while it would clearly be a bit unpleasant, it will (by far!) not be the end of the world. So I went for convenience, knowing hopefully most* of the risks and keep them at a rather low level. * I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to claim that I know all of them; doing that would be the first step towards great mistakes. |

Bitcoin Mixer Like sinbad maybe trow dozen for advertising because there new in this space, so they can gather more people to join
Clearly. There are (at least) two types of businesses usually paying big bucks for advertising: * The newcomers that want to be seen, checked out, attract customers, and your example is very good for that * The established businesses that want people to see how big and important they are, businesses that want to pretty much be part of every day life. This is what Coca-Cole does at TV, this is how I see ChipMixer here on bitcointalk. Of course, there are other cases too, like new products (see new phone releases on TV, see new games or coins in the casino or sportsbook portfolio) and others I am sure they exist, but don't really come to my mind now. However, this is not something specific to mixers and not something specific to bitcointalk. Just something normal for all businesses and for all places that allow advertising. |

Schiff is just like an old dog like Buffet who don't adopt. I think that all he's doing is in the name of the show. All his "bashing" of Bitcoin is actually a great advertising and can help adoption. For "an old dog [..] who don't adopt" he's paying waaay to much attention and spend too much time posting about Bitcoin. Even more, his son does have bitcoins, pretty convenient, huh? |

I sent a message to the admins (theymos & Cyrus) a few days ago requesting a username change for a few private reasons we discussed, and I'm glad I got a quick response from Cyrus to make this happen. Igehhh was more than just a username; it was a brand that needed to be safeguarded. I've officially changed the name on all of my Brand documents, both online and offline, and I'd like to use this medium to state that all outstanding bets, legal contracts, Pool and feedback remain valid. I am now officially Igebotz. Thank you theymos & Cyrus If you must deal with me, please click on the TG link in my bio or send me a PM because there are many fake TG accounts impersonating me. Happy New Year! Best regards Igebotz  Congrats for such a fast name change! Is it OK for you if I add you a neutral trust feedback stating the name change? I think it's better, in case some people miss this topic. |

My plan had been to wait until 10 minutes before the deadline to make my prediction so I had as much information as possible about the next difficulty adjustment, however... The deadline for participation is 07.01.2023 at 23.59.59 CEST (current Berlin Time). The internet tells me that current CEST (Central European Summer Time) is 11:30, but also it isn't summer in the northern hemisphere and so current Berlin time is 10:30. What is this foul play!? Maybe 1miau is in Jamaica, forgetting that in Berlin it's winter Or maybe with this unnaturally warm winter in Europe he has forgotten it's still winter ...Just read it as CET. Maybe 1miau will also correct that. |

the safest and most comfortable way to store seed phrases is offline with writing paper that is kept at home, I even wrote several papers Especially if you are active in Bitcoin circles, especially if you also tell how much bitcoins you have, ... keeping the backup seed at home is not great, since it's the first place a burglar would search for it. So if you keep it at home, find a way to make it not-really-obvious. Keeping multiple copies in multiple geographically separated locations becomes a must, especially if you get to amounts that really matter. |

I see that franky1 has given you good answers, so I won't get there too. All I can add is a recommendation to make a new (spin-off) topic about this if you want to continue this debate, since here it's off-topic. ledger USB device has its own keyboard?? .. show me
It has 2 buttons. A bit unnatural to call it keyboard, but it can be seen so without being awfully wrong, since the Nano S (plus) doesn't need more than that.  |
