I'm curious: HOW? I always thought those "accelerator" threads were this BS, but this low-fee transaction was actually confirmed by ViaBTC without using CPFP. If that's you, that means you have some "tricks" us mortals don't have, and if that's the case, you don't get nearly enough credit for it. So tell me: how do you do it?

I switched from wallet because I wanted to collect my forks and I did collect those. It's possible some malware Fork wallet already stole your Bitcoin. Why would you "switch wallet" instead of create a new wallet and keep the old one? I just need remember where to search for I probably hidden the seed phrase on the computer. This doesn't make much sense. If you stored a seed phrase on your computer, you'll have to look at all files containing text. Or maybe even images. You can have given it any name you wanted, so there's no point asking us. You need to organize your files ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) And take a look at [overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format.

I can confirm. You are not the only one re-reading this thread. I spotted other time travelling easter eggs as well. Now you got me curious ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) But I'm not taking the bait, I don't have time to re-read 80 pages. I am drinking right now, but is there really a surprise? I went through all the pages (kinda rapidly - because of the alcohol) and didn't spot it! Look harder ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Unfortunately though, I saw Leo's posts and felt sad... Anyway! Sorry for mentioning that... I also see his posts everywhere. It's his legacy on Bitcointalk.

Derailing it like there is no tomorrow? It's not that bad ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Are you proud of what you created alongside our queen? Oh yeah ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Btw. I am on round 7, I just forgot to mention it I'm not buying it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I left you a little surprise somewhere, which you failed to mention ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
And with that, couch time ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'm still ill. Every time I feel better, it comes back. Or a different virus strain, there's a lot of those going around. I want spring ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Maybe the 5-year celebration can be a 1 week party, to start on week 260 and last until May 27 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
I have read all the posts 3 times already lol) I was really hoping you'd continue this by adding a fourth round ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

i Agbamoni has nothing to do with the account Richbased. We've seen it all so many times. It's the same story over and over again. Maybe you're not alts, but I think it's much more likely you are. You both have a neutral tag now, I don't expect dkbit98 to remove it.

How about shitposter and bountyspammer sr32703? He woke up after 3 years, tried to join a signature campaign and wants to earn Merit without reading the topic. He also sounds a lot like a plagiarizing chatbot: Yes, Bitcoin can be stolen through various means. Here are some common methods:
Hacking and Cyber Attacks: Malicious actors may target cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, or individuals through hacking attempts. If they gain unauthorized access, they can transfer Bitcoin from one account to another. Phishing: Phishing scams involve tricking individuals into revealing their private keys or login credentials. Fraudsters often use fake websites or emails that appear legitimate to deceive users. Fraudulent Wallets:Some malicious wallet applications or online platforms claim to offer secure storage but are designed to steal users' cryptocurrency. It's essential to use reputable and well-established wallets.
To protect your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it's crucial to follow best security practices:Use hardware wallets for long-term storage.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts. Keep private keys secure and never share them. Use reputable and secure wallets and exchanges. Be cautious of phishing attempts and verify website URLs. Regularly update software and firmware for wallets.
But always remember that the decentralized nature of blockchain and the security measures in place make it challenging but not impossible for theft to occur. Being vigilant and adopting secure practices can significantly reduce the risk of Bitcoin theft.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

There is nothing wrong in using alt accounts The self-Meriting on the other hand is not done.

Thanks LoyceV and Ms_Mining for keeping your eyes open I've added "Binarium" to Finding spam and scams by keyword. I'll leave it up to you guys, finding malware isn't my area of expertise.

So, let me get this straight: both users registered a month apart, both use the same local board, both are in a gambling signature campaign, both have the same posting style, both send each other Merit, both take a loan from the same user with the same centralized currency.... I see a pattern here. It looks like you mistakingly used the wrong wallet address.

Account buyers/hackers might buy/hack accounts but it's not usual for them to buy/hack bitcoin private keys... Account sellers can easily sell a package deal: account + private key to a staked address.

If someone joins the campaign, isn't it to be expected that he will first be interested in the service he is going to promote? at least to know what they are promoting I only promote things I like, but I get that most people don't care. And you can't even blame them: any advertising company doesn't care, and is totally fine taking offers from competitors. Holders of paid signatures seem to me to rarely think about whether their participation is worth the campaign owner. That's not their job, it's up to the campaign manager to get the best candidates. So contrary to the topic of this discussion, if we don't allow shilling (I'm definitely against this), is ignoring service from the campaign OK? Where is the line? I'd say it depends. I'll argue from my own perspective: I've been in a casino campaign in the past. I'm not much into gambling, and the posts ( 1, 2) I made in their ANN thread weren't really "participating". And yet: Similar to Loyce, he didn't do anything special, he was just being himself and took care of his eco-system of threads and helped out people when needed - which is exactly what you want from a forum member. This is how I like it: the campaign chooses candidates based on how they're already posting, and all that's expected from them is to continue that way. Signature campaigns used to be boss-less but it now has a boss and you can not ignore his order or you are out. From my perspective, it's not a "boss" relationship, but more like being self-employed. That means both parties can end the relationship at any moment. Are there any specific rules for operators? See: Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign). Can they threaten campaign positions for content that is not actually dangerous to anyone, just like the OP? Yes, of course ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) "If you post about Kitchenaid mixers again, I'll stop paying you" is a perfectly fine deal. Take it or leave it.

What I would like to know is a way to test your utxo before you send it into a KYC exchange, to know if they are tainted or not. You should read [Blacklist] of unreliable, 'taint proclaiming' Bitcoin services / exchanges. "Taint" is a business model of chain analysis companies selling the notion of taint based on arbitrary conditions that can change at any moment. It's an attack on Bitcoin's fungibility and should be avoided. What happened to your money before you legally earned it is not your fault. To quote myself on the subject: I've seen several posts lately from people willing to treat Bitcoin as non-fungible because they believe some coins are "tainted". I'd say this is a severe threat to Bitcoin, and I wouldn't be surprised if governments use this because they can't stop Bitcoin in any other way. If people believe Bitcoin is "tainted", they won't accept it anymore. "We" should really inform people not to fall for this. Nobody would reject a dollar bill because it has previously been used in a crime, despite the fact that 85 to 90% contains traces of cocaine. Claiming Bitcoin isn't fungible is just plain stupid.
This site explains very well what it's all about: Coin validation proposed to offer as a service to trace coins and try to give you a rating about how the history of the coin from your point of view and to offer that as a service to businesses. I think this could be quite dangerous because it goes back to that 17th century court case where now you could receive a coin that is perfectly valid at the time that you receive it, but a few weeks later a crime is uncovered and now your coin is tainted. So if this coin validation service is advicing many of the merchants where you would want to spend your coin at, it's tainted and now the merchant would refuse to accept your coin. That's a strange experience for you; you're holding a coin that you might have to sell at a discount to get rid of it. The aggregate effect of this might create a run on the bitcoin price. So it reopens this long-set legal principle that currency or currency units are all equal. I can't stress enough how important this is!

I've had a few emails with withlisting requests, in which people don't even know they're talking about Bitcointalk. Just now I received one saying he wants whitelisting on a different forum. If not for that, I would have whitelisted him, but I can't believe he's sincere this way.

I tried FinderOuter but it’s taking more than a month and gives more than 100 private keys. This is weird. With 11 missing characters, I'd expect millions of valid private keys. If you know the address, you should know which one you need. But if you don't know the address, you should have many more private keys. Anyway, with just 100 private keys, you could even import them into a new Electrum wallet to see if any of them have transactions. See this post to restore Segwit addresses.
