With such legacy client (older than Bitcoin-Qt 0.8), you can't even perform full blockchain sync. But answering your question, any HTTP application or library which support sending user-definited JSON data should work. cURL might work, but i doubt about  HTTP/GET since cURL example on Bitcoin Core always use POST.

The good news is that Starlink service would soon be available to some developing nations.

Price of Starlink service could be expensive though for people who live on developing nations. Starlink pricing on Brazil roughly about $50, while on US it could be around $100.

Should have one special device for cryptocurrency related things: wallets, exchanges, 2FA, etc. I would prefer to not log in my exchange account on a mobile device because I would like to allocate it for 2FA only. As a 2FA installed device, I don't want to login email, exchange accounts on that device.
Probably you are in a country with constant electricity.

You can easily afford cheap mobile phone power bank, but not so for computer. If someone is an active trader, he may prefer to use phone Instead.

IMO if power outage frequently happen on your area, you better get a laptop/notebook rather than computer. And while power generator for computer or all electronic device isn't cheap, you could spend less money on long run since you have less worry about broken electronic device due to power outage.

No offense, but i find what you're doing is very unusual. You bother use mixer (even though you couldn't send it to exchange without risking your account got locked and get asked lots of personal imitation), but still use Windows 10 which is known for poor privacy and data collection[1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10#Privacy_and_data_collection
yes I know I have wrong, but there is no other way, I must use windows, that OS only I know.

You learned how to use Bitcoin, Tor Browser and mixing Bitcoin, so you definitely capable to learn Linux if you're willing to spare some time. Aside from @pooya87 suggestion to use live mode, you also could try Linux OS using virtual machine software (such as VirtualBox).

Would people be supportive of creating a sub-forum for investigating/exposing Craig Wright and his BSV scam for the protection of Bitcoin and Bitcoiners?

I don't mind such board/subforum, since it also could tidy "Bitcoin Discussion" board a bit. But the question is, who'll be moderator of this board?

I don't use it to store my wallet, because I know the risk. I have another PC windows 10 which I used for an activity my crypto. when you look the previous post I used electrum on windows 10 to store a private key from a mixer

Saya memiliki kekhawatiran dengan produk ini karena mereka menggunakan istilah "Encryption Support" untuk menjelasakan dukungan terhadap address generation (BIP 32/44) dan metode untuk backup/restore wallet (BIP 39, 12/18/24 recoevry words).
Maksudnya apakah encryption support tersebut aman/benar-benar tidak ada campur tangan dari developernya terkait address generation dan backup/restore wallet diatas, demikian kah?

Maksud saya, standar BIP 32[1], 39[2] (yg digunakan untuk membuat 12/18/24 recovery words) dan 44[3] tidak menggunakan enkripsi. Sehingga penggunaan istilah "Encryption Support" tidak tepat.

It would be better to, let’s say, subject signature bearing on the whole to earning at least x Merits in the last y days, leaving the ranks be, although there are still plenty of drawbacks, especially for those that are not active or roam boards that are not often merited.
Yep, that is a much better approach and basically what I suggested a few posts up. Tongue

Other modification of this suggestion already mentioned some times. Few similar discussion in past,
Reducing (removing) airdropped merits for those who didn't earn 1 single merit
[Proposal] Tackling the spam

Except, instead of X merit in Y days, I would make it X merit in Y posts. That way, you're not penalized for low activity and you can't spam the forum hoping that some small fraction of your posts will get merit.

It's interesting idea, although member who only post at board with low merit circulation is at disadvantage.

No vouch or idea whether legit or not, but there is one result on GitHub:

https://github.com/Yanmailde/Phrutis_MiniKeys2

No source code either, just binaries; so proceed with extreme caution. Maybe it's possible to contact the repo's owner to clarify.

After reading one of the FAQ and knowing the owner delete original repository, you could wasting your time.

If I find the private key can I take all the coins for myself?

No, you will find the encrypted key.
Only the organizers can decrypt this key and pay you a 50%.

I'd recommend people to use different tool such as https://github.com/Coding-Enthusiast/FinderOuter to brute force mini private key.

We're trying to find 'Beta testers', and I was wondering if anyone might be willing to have a play? Failing that, I was wondering if any of you had any advice / tips on how to go about finding testers?

I checked generated LN invoice and found out it's for Bticoin mainnet. Consider use Bitcoin testnet instead if you want to see tester.
1550  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-09-15] In the US conservationists want BTC to switch to PoS too on: September 17, 2022, 12:45:45 PM
I spend few minutes to check their campaign website and found some biased/incorrect statement. For example,

Quote from: cleanupbitcoin.com
We know Bitcoin stakeholders are incentivized not to change. Changing Bitcoin would render a whole lot of expensive infrastructure worthless, meaning Bitcoin stakeholders will need to walk away from sunk costs — or find other creative solutions.

This statement imply Bitcoin is centralized and there are group which control Bitcoin.

Quote from: cleanupbitcoin.com
We know a basic software code change would reduce Bitcoin’s energy use by 99.9%. If only 30 people — the key miners, exchanges, and core developers who build and contribute to Bitcoin’s code — agreed to reinvent proof-of-work mining or move to a low-energy protocol, Bitcoin would stop polluting the planet. So why isn’t Bitcoin changing its code?

They don't know different between code and protocol. Additionally, they underestimate difficulty of software development.
1551  Other / Meta / Re: Reee: How would bitcointalk community react to bitcointalk nfts on: September 17, 2022, 09:51:28 AM
Other good, non-image uses involve NFTs that grants their holders rights, permissions, or special access. For example, there have been bots made for ETH, BTC and even DOGE NFTs that allow token-gated access to Discord channels, meaning you must own the token in your wallet in order to join the channel. Property rights have been conveyed via NFT, rights to music & video IP, and all sorts of media. Its quite possible that NFTs will be used to convey ownership of smart property, e.g. an apartment or car door that unlocks after proof of corresponding token ownership has been established. The most promising upcoming use case for NFTs in the future are related to identity.

That sounds like privacy disaster. Analytic company could download whole blockchain (which used by the NFT) and analyze the data to find out how much asset you have or your personal taste, then sold it to government or advertising company. It's totally different case if they zero-knowledge proof cryptography, but i never see any NFT which use such cryptography.

Not website, but you can use this script https://github.com/iceland2k14/rsz. I tested it for few minutes and it works without any problem.

Nice work OP. I don't remember there are analysis about miner pool due to to TX fee, so i find it's interesting analysis. I also appreciate you make your website open source. But aside from required parameter (txindex, zmqpubsequence, etc.), do you run Bitcoin Core with default parameter?

- Better Network connectivity among miners -> See https://www.dsn.kastel.kit.edu/bitcoin/ (Txs and Block propagation time are really small to have any impact)

Also worth to mention there are several protocol used by miner/pool for faster block propagation. IIRC there are FIBRE, Falcon and Fast Relay Network.

Start earning in your spare time with New York Express Delivery. Choose how much time you want to spend delivering packages and get paid up to 0,000054 BTC per day.

By any chance, did you write wrong amount of BTC people could earn? 0.000054BTC/5400 satoshi (about $1.12) seems very low on New York which have minimum wage $13.20/hour.

But OP, choosing one of the Linux systems might help you with speed.
Now, several systems have been created for older computers that allow users to work without loss of performance.

https://www.tecmint.com/lightweight-linux-distributions/

While there are many linux distro created/suitable for old computer, some of them probably not suitable for new user. Not all of them are actively developed, have decent amount of user base or good documentation/tutorial.

Besides, Linux OSs prevent files from being executed automatically.

That's true. But take note autostart/autorun file[1] is exist on linux, although it require user confirmation before it's started. Although IMO it shouldn't be problem as long as user doesn't click "Ok" or "Yes" without reading the message.

While i still prefer Style F, your effort bear fruit. Nice work @PowerGlove.

I probably never would've spent the ~hour figuring out how to add it because it strikes me as unnecessary, but I also don't see the harm in it. Since you wrote the code, I added it. Thanks!

Now i wonder whether we'll see more people give feature suggestion while including source code.

Typical statistics that HYIPs use to fool people by the way

What is "445.240 Users"? It's either 445 or 446 or there are half humans joining the site?
Or is it 445,240 users? Impossible, you launched the website 2 weeks ago

1. There's no lower/upper limit to swap.



2. It's new service. According to whois, the domain was registered on 2022-08-28[1].
3. I checked Twitter page[2] and found out the interaction/comment doesn't look natural[3], where the reply either say "Done" or tagging other people.

Coinbase has been very much hated by the cryptospace community because of their behavior that has been considered anti-bitcoin, however, this initiative by Brian Armstrong should be supported and should also be given respect, I reckon.

I pretty much agree with @o_e_l_e_o. While they did good thing this time, it's likely their reason isn't upholding privacy/decentralization. It's more believable it's part of PR campaign or don't want to be next government target. Their blog[1] good also mention good example of why people need privacy, although there are few hypocrisy.

First CVE require user download malicious torrent file while second CVE require user to enable remote access feature. I wouldn't worry too much when linux kernel has 194 new CVE this year[1]. Additionally, Transmission only can access config and download folder[2].


I don't use those software. Last time i checked, it's closed source and show annoying ads.

The problem is that as you add more and more things there are more and more issues to keep track of and the possibility that you, the umbrel developers, the repository maintainers that umbrel uses or whoever misses something, does not add the updated packages or whatever and users are sitting there with an unpatched vulnerability.

--snip--

I get your point and actually i agree with your point. But don't forget all application is run inside Docker container[3], which reduce some security risks.
