When I was using a browser that can open many tabs that I have opened before and not close, opening the browser and opening multiple threads automatically on this forum at once will cause that. Now that I use browser that only the tab I clicked on will open, I do not get the error anymore. This is not new too. There are different threads about this question in the past.

With the hash rate of Bitcoin hitting 1,000 Th/s in 2013 can miners use mining hardwares other than ASIC miners?
Just computer CPU was used before. As the mining difficulty increased, CPU could no longer mine bitcoin profitable as more people started to mine bitcoin. GPU produces more hash rates and miners turned to GPU. Mining difficulty increases and the start of ASICs to mine bitcoin. Now are well built ASICs that produces more hash rates.
1423  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin (DOGE) on: July 31, 2023, 07:27:49 AM
Is DOGE Coin's Rise a Sign of the Future of Cryptocurrencies, or a Fleeting Internet Meme Phenomenon?
Because of what Elon Musk is doing with it and you think it is the coin to first be considered? Bitcoin is the coin to be considered. Doge is just a meme coin (coin of no reason than to speculate its prices), although while many other coins have no utilities even as they are not meme coins.

DOGE is a memecoin. Not a bad one but still. Do you really think it can be the cause for the bright crypto future?
Doge has nothing to do with crypto bright future. Let us expect more manipulation from Elon Musk though.

I am wondering what you are using if it's the easy one like igolder when it was active or the one that mdayonliner translated to English. Well, I would prefer to use the easy one for a certain reason (quite sick a few days and just recovered) and I haven't looked for one that I can use easily just by pasting the public key of OP and encrypt whatever message I'd like to encrypt. If you know any feel free to share but if it is not allowed by BGC then it's fine by me.
The recommended one on this forum is Kleopatra which is a desktop app.

You can use this guide to know more about it: [Eng: Tutorial] PGP Signature - Encrypt/Decrypt message - Fingerprint
1425  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Post your PGP key, add an encrypted message, open for anyone. on: July 30, 2023, 09:47:06 PM
You can not encrypt a message using bitcoin signed message. You need PGP key. So the game is only for PGP key. You must add current date in the secret message you have for me and no one else should be able to read it except me [that's why it is encrypted]. I will post the decrypted message however If you feel uncomfortable then add it in your encrypted message, I will not post it to honour your request.
Check your public key, probably missing a or some characters. In the link that you provided, I was able to use people's public key to encrypt message, but I was unable to use yours. Or try and encrypt a message with it to know if the public key is valid or not. If I am not right, let me know.

You need a merit or need to have just fun?
Let us have fun.

You want both? We should sign a message with bitcoin address and you want us to also send an encrypted message by using your PGP public key? Or only the second one which is PGP?

People are careless with their Twitter account, my guess is correct that another one will happen soon as usual

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5461008.msg62600310#msg62600310

From the look of this with fake giveaway, I will know easily that it is a scam.

I am expecting another one soon.

People may later be faking it by compromising their own account.
1428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What should P2P on centralized exchanges should be called? on: July 30, 2023, 08:01:48 AM
As much as like the idea that there's no intermediary when it comes to P2P, I don't want to be a victim of a scam or anything malicious like that because when it's a raw P2P trade, the possibility that the other party won't commit to their agreed trade gets much higher and they don't have to crafty about it unlike having a middle-man/intermediary where they need to fake some confirmation to even pull off shit like that. Also, I don't get how it's confusing, you're just using the exchange as a platform to conduct a P2P trade, it's not like they actively meddle in the trades itself.
Bitcoin is decentralized. Having your coins on centralized exchanges is the opposite of what bitcoin is. The centralized exchanges have more control and they are the middle man because you have your coins with them and they have the complete control to your coins. That is not P2P. No intermediary in P2P.

The main problem in certain local p2p transactions is the fear of being cheated by anyone claiming to be an intermediary because the possibilities of being defrauded are quite high. I've had a similar experience, even though it was in a Telegram group or channel where they claimed to be actual p2p and I was duped by them. That is why I prefer utilizing CEX p2p to avoid such scams, even though they are not completely reliable due to centralization, but they have a reputation.
I agree, but we are not talking about how trading are on centralized exchanges, we are talking about the name we should called them.

Let's rename all the abbreviations we don't like. Since this topic is in the newbies section, if we use our own invented language on the forum, the newbies will get even more confused.
P2P will remain what it is, but you always have the right to use it on which exchange. It's good to be skeptical, but it's always better to use simple things that have been invented for a long time without racking your brains over names.
Everything is simple, newbies are here to learn just like I was here to learn when I came. People that do not learn will not move forward. I will start using some words in addition to differentiate them from P2P.
1429  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: A Feature in electrum wallet on: July 30, 2023, 07:46:47 AM
I appreciate community feedback about it. Is there any way we can request such a feature from Electrum, as it's the most reliable software wallet at this moment?
Feature request are welcome in the official GitHub repository, you can post them as new issue with "Feature Request" in the title.
Link: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues

But before you do so, please consider the replies in this thread.
The developers are quite piled with work, closing and replying to unnecessary issues will add up to their workload.
There is not point in doing so because bitcoin is not stored on a wallet, it is stored on Blockchain. Also because the wallets are locally created. If I am a hacker, I can prefer not to use Electrum at all. He should just not bother himself to report what is not because it is what that can not be done.
1430  Other / Beginners & Help / What should P2P on centralized exchanges should be called? on: July 30, 2023, 04:56:16 AM
I do not like to see people using P2P for centralized exchanges. The centralized exchanges has been confusing people about it. P2P means the exchange should be without any intermediary but the exchanges are the intermediary which make them not to have P2P but another thing entirely.

P2P are:

  • exchanging bitcoin directly with another person like on this forum
  • the use of decentralized exchanges

If we want to call centralized exchange P2P, what should it be called? We need a name on this forum to be calling them. The centralized exchanges have stolen what P2P is. Even many people on this forum are calling them P2P.

What about CEP2P? It means centralized exchange P2P.
1431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TRON is bad coin, here is why on: July 30, 2023, 04:45:56 AM
What makes Ethereum to be better? It moves from PoW to PoS, it is centralized and becoming more centralized and influenced by its developers like Vitalik Buterin.

Everyone should know, how fraudulent TRON really is.
Avoid bad coin like TRON.
You actually did not say anything good about the reason why Tron is bad.

You can try reporting the website to "Google safe browsing": https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
I haven't seen a result from those reports in years. Google doesn't care, and I gave up.

Quote
Maybe they will remove it from their search results if many people report it.
Reporting bad sites shouldn't be a petition that needs to be signed many times.
But this is not only about Google, the site needs to be taken down. I use other search engines just now and I even try it on tor but the same scam site is what I am seeing as first on the search engines including duckduckgo. The government were able to take down mixers but unable to taken down these scam paper wallet generator websites.

Not that I am supporting google too, google services are the places where scammers and hackers are living and successfully doing their work.
1434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Suggest Some Underrated potential altcoins for next bull run on: July 29, 2023, 09:07:49 AM
You have selected good already but you can add Dot to it.

There are other ones but which are more volatile. The one I know are Aptos, Sand, Gala, Quantum, Ethereum classic, Dash, Solana. There are many but which I will not continue to mention.

If bitcoin fall in price, these altcoins fall many times more. Know that.
1435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 29, 2023, 06:59:00 AM
What I feel is that - I can't focus on gambling because what is in my mind is worried about where I can get money to pay my loan if I lose them all. 
It is because you are not an addict. If you are a gambling addict, all you will be thinking about is that if you borrow, that you will look for more always to earn from gambling and you will be able to pay back the money. But at the end, you will feel sorry for yourself if you borrow the money and after losing it. Anyone that borrow to gamble is a sign of addiction.

Why would I borrow to gamble? I can not do that, it is not possible. I can gamble but not to the extent that I should borrow money. I hardly spend 2% of my salary on gambling, not to talk of borrowing money for gambling.
1436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Capitalizing a smart trading strategy on: July 29, 2023, 06:50:46 AM
However, an hour prior to its Binance listing, Arkham was already available on Bitget. Rather than selling, many chose to purchase in hopes of a price surge following the Binance listing. But when it finally occurred, they were unable to fully capitalise on the price increase. A selling frenzy ensued, and unlike on Bitget, the price never reached $1 on Binance.
As a result, those who had sold earlier on Bitget reaped greater profits
A coin that has just been listed and continued to be listed on different exchanges can be risky. This is not the first time I have seen this, especially after a coin has been listed on several exchanges and then later got listed on Binance, you will see price drop.

But I am surprised that I saw Arkram on Binance launchpad (which means it is an IEO on Binance) but it was first listed on Bitget.
1437  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: walletgeneratordotnet scam Paper wallet generation scam on: July 28, 2023, 08:32:33 AM
It'd be awesome if this thread showed up somewhere near walletgeneratordotnet in search results....any chance that could happen?
Among the search engines, especially Google, it cares more about money not protection or privacy. Google do not care about the people that are using their services. But what can most likely make this occur is if this thread is getting replies from time to time. This would be good for people that make searches like 'is walletgeneratordotnet a scam site or not', but if the person search for something like paper wallet genetor, this is what I found which is the scam site.

1438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Online Casino on: July 28, 2023, 08:08:54 AM
Honestly, RNG and other related stuff are not being considered as a factor when choosing online casinos at most.
If someone makes a research about the gambling site to be used, what he would be looking for is reputation, how fast and good  their customer care is, their deposit and withdrawal. Some people can also check for deposit bonus and other promotional offers. So I will say that you are saying the right thing.

About security, can we really tell that our information is secured at these sites? Simply, it's just a matter that we do trust them regardless if it's a fiat casino or crypto casino, that's it. We are complying at these sites based on our own judgment.
No sites can be trusted, I only get verified if I have to, but if not necessary, I will prefer not to get verified. Once your documents is submitted on those sites, there is probability that they will give it to third parties or another organization. It can even be hacked, which some hackers may demand ransom payment for.

Bitcoin lightning node is not the same as bitcoin node.

If you run bitcoin node, you are contributing to how decentralized bitcoin network is and it is validating mined blocks and blockchain transactions.

With lightning node, it is about the off-chain layer.  Lightning node runners are connected in channels to route off-chain transactions and they can open and close channels.

You can learn about the the differences: https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/differences-between-bitcoin-nodes-and-lightning-nodes/

Blackrock is looking forward to provide spot ETF for its customers, not providing bitcoin mining service for its customers. If Blackrock later want to go for mining bitcoin, that is not related to bitcoin spot ETF and it will be good as it will make the bitcoin blockchain to be more secure. It is secure as it is now too.

For example
Today Binance exchange is having billions of dollars of customers money, but Binance mining pool is different entirely from Binance exchange.
