The people are also losing the coins but in reality the actual coins lost are those send to OP_Return command which burns the coin and those who have lost access to wallets can get it back if they remember the seeds or passwords.
They are not the only lost coins.
Lost coins are those who have been burned using OP_RETURN and those who have not been claimed by the miners as the block reward.
Those coins that have been sent to the burn addresses have been probably lost, but we can't be 100% sure of that. In theory, it's possible that someone has the private key of burn addresses.

Casinos should have a profitable business in the long run (if everything goes well) and after they make some profit, they will be able to pay the winners with losers money.
This doesn't mean they can launch their business without any bankroll. They must have some money for paying the winners unless they want to scam the players.

please users on here, confirm if Coinomi wallet is open source or not because I am so sure it's closed source.
You are right. Coinomi is close-source.


users have lost their coins because of a back door in the wallet software years back, they first denied it and later blame those that failed to upgrade their wallet to latest version.
You are probably talking about the vulnerability sending users seed phrase to google servers.

Tell me if you see any more bugs !
Now, it's possible that a participant wins more than once. It wasn't like this before the changes.

Edit:
I found another bug.
When I save the link, it doesn't save the target block. It's set to the current block again when I open the saved link.
1565  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Arguments on make_seed command on: January 25, 2023, 09:21:39 PM
The second argument in the make_seed command on the Electrum console is the custom entropy.
It's not.
pooya87 already answered my question correctly. The second argument is used for having a seed phrase from a different wordlist.
I was able to generate a seed phrase with spanish words using make_seed(128,"es","standard").



Thank you pooya87.
1566  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Help with P2PKH (starts with "1") address is supported for BTC on: January 25, 2023, 08:50:39 PM
And I also think there's also a bitcoin blockchain explorer that has that feature which can show the user other types of bitcoin address that is associated or shares the same private keys with the address they are at its transaction log at that time,
I haven't ever heard of a blockchain explorer doing that and I doubt there is any. Even if there's a blockchain explorer doing so, it can't do that for all addresses.
There is no way to know what addresses have been derived from the same private key unless you have the private key or there's a transaction made from one of those addresses.
1567  Other / Meta / Re: [ASK] Does this forum really have its own wallet platform? on: January 25, 2023, 01:26:42 PM
There was another user promoting the same wallet malware today. (See the report made by Lafu.)
Both swami84 and bvalis should be banned, because they shared a malware. Both of them woke up on January 18 and are now probably controlled by the same person.
1568  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Bitcointalk Giveaway Manager on: January 25, 2023, 12:32:58 PM
Now you can add up to 50 winners (i put those limits to avoid unnecessary  loops with big numbers).
I just tested the tool with some random inputs and it seems that everything is working well.
There's only a small bug. If you set the number of winners to 50, only 1 winner will be selected.
1569  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum legacy wallet in new version on: January 24, 2023, 09:19:04 PM
Thanks it worked and I got a new seed. But I would like to ask what does 128 mean?
That's the number of bits of entropy.
With 128 bits of entropy, you will have a 12 word seed phrase. For example, you can change the 128 to 256 to have a 24 word seed phrase.

Code:
make_seed(256,"","standard")
1570  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum legacy wallet in new version on: January 24, 2023, 09:11:35 PM
For generating a legacy wallet, you need to go to "console" tab and use the following command.

Code:
make_seed(128,"","standard")

If you don't see "Console" tab, click on "View" at top of the window and select "Show Console".
1571  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Bitcointalk Giveaway Manager on: January 24, 2023, 08:35:09 PM
LoyceV is right about different chances of winning.

Assume that there are 10 participants.

The participant number 1 wins the game if the outcome is 0, 10, 20, 30, ... 4090.
The participant number 2 wins the game if the outcome is 1, 11, 21, 31, ... 4091.
The participant number 3 wins the game if the outcome is 2, 12, 22, 32, ... 4092.
........
........
The participant number 10 wins the game if the outcome is 9, 19, 29, 39, ...., 4089

The participants 1-6 will have slightly bigger chance than participants  7-10.
The chance of winning for participants 1-6 will be  410/4096 and the chance of winning for participants 7-10 will be 409/4096

Just because a wallet is open-source doesn't mean it's trustworthy and you should use it. You should use the open-source wallet only if the code has been reviewed by enough qualified people and you are sure that there is no vulnerability.
Even if a wallet is open-source and is secure enough, it will take some time to be trusted by the community.

They are impersonating www(dot)basefex(dot)com and they are definitely scammers.
As already said, don't deposit any fund or you will lose your money.

If this is the most accepted and verifiable way to claim ownership of account, how is it done? A link or thread will help as a guide. Thank you.
Stake your Bitcoin address here, so that you can use that for recovering your account in the case your account is hacked or you lose access to that for any reason.

Below is the guide on how you can sign a message.
How to sign a message?!


@Piesel Alt
I can't verify your message. What software do you use for signing message?
1576  Other / Meta / Re: Moderator help my bitcointalk account have been hacked on: January 23, 2023, 10:56:31 PM
Do you mean an account can be hacked using the secret questions and the process gets terminated on the way, due to some inaccuracies?
Due to the database leakage in the 2015 hack, theymos doesn't allow people to reset their password via answering the secret question.
For more information about this, you could visit the topic I already shared.

how's the OP gonna get 'em back after every claims that he's rightfully the owner of the account ??-- (remember, that's after when the hacker had changed the passcode already?)? This is only possible if the forum has access to people's personal data, Which is curruptible in my opinion...or is there an alternative?
One way to prove your ownership of your account is to sign a message from an address which you have posted before in the forum and is obviously yours.
The recovery team surely has some other criteria to verify the claims. For example, they can check IP logs.
1577  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Basefex fraud, cannot take fund out on: January 23, 2023, 09:58:35 PM
I followed up on the chats by asking them whether they can verify my identity or paying a smaller amount of deposit. And they did not respond anything
Any service asking you to make a deposit to be able to make a withdrawal is a scam.
With asking them to allow you to deposit smaller amount, you are actually trying to decrease the amount of the money they will steal from you. Whatever amount you deposit, you will lose all that.
1578  Other / Meta / Re: Moderator help my bitcointalk account have been hacked on: January 23, 2023, 09:40:59 PM
How is that possible for a hacker to have full control over your btt account as same time with your mail.
It's possible that the hacker gain access to the email and then used the email address to access the bitcointalk account.
If you check the seclog, you will see that Piesel's password has been reset via email.

1579  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A crypto fixed-deposit wallet. on: January 23, 2023, 09:14:07 PM
Thank you o_e_l_e_o for your great explanation.

But there is no address at all. Am I right? Because the fund is sent to public key, not public key hash.
The funds are sent to a P2SH output, which in this case contains a P2PK locking script with the additional time lock as I explained above.
My point was that the term "Time Locked Address" is a bit misleading. Isn't it?
For example, if you make such a transaction and I import the address derived from the public key into electrum, I won't see any transaction.

But the table is reporting a different thing altogether, table is reporting that the buyer can only start earning 4 wheel of fortune spins per day after holding FUN token for 360 days which is 1 year..
You are right. Advertisements are usually exaggerated.
If you buy 2500 FUN tokens, you will get only 1 free spin in the day 1. For getting 4 free spins, you have to hold your tokens for 360 days.
The statement should be "Hold 2500 FUN tokens for 360 days to get 4 FREE WOF" or "Buy 2500 FUN tokens to get up to 4 FREE WOF", to be more accurate.
