Congratulations senior on your one year anniversary, I took my time to study your profile (posts/activity) and I am overwhelmed with how you have achieved so much and passed knowledge within the space of one year, you are an inspiration to me as I also wish to celebrate my one year anniversary with a full evidence of my achievements here in the forum (knowledge shared)

Congratulations once again, BRAVO.

Practice, patience and eagerness to learn will be your weapons in this process!

I am sure you will manage to achieve your goals too.

Thanks for the kind words mate.

Apogio might just be the little o_e_l_e_o    Grin Grin Cool
Keep it up man.

I admire your decision to learn how to code, Mia Chloe. Keep it up too!

You have made me blush, simply because Leo IS one of the most technically savvy people I have ever engaged with.
Leo sent me a DM once. I will not post it here, because I value his privacy very much. The only thing I will say, is that he seemed to trust me and my eagerness to learn about Bitcoin. This was one of the biggest satisfaction moments I could have ever wished for.

You are a humble person, I hope you can become a nine-tailed fox. It's a great character in the Naruto manga series, I don't know if you've read it or not, but it's one of the best manga after One Piece.

Sadness and sorrow is one of my favourite melodies of all time. Haha let's not derail the conversation any longer, but yeah I have seen both.

It seems like this thread has gone quite far, from meta ~ off topic ~ to Development & Technical Discussion. Lol  Cheesy

This place is better because my tutorials are bitcoin specific.

You remind me myself when my account was just one year old. I suppose that you're now addicted to this forum, just like I was!

You've grown at a rapid rate, and I hope you continue sharing your insights. I admire your humbleness and eagerness for learning. I can see that you've studied computers and have learned to produce knowledge (and pass it on to others). You're a valuable member for this place, no doubt.

I hope you have an even more constructive year ahead. I believe you can recognize that Bitcoin is a rabbit hole. Buckle up, and enjoy the deep plunge.  Smiley

Man I have nothing to say. It means a lot, coming from you.
I have learnt a lot from you as well.
Thanks for the kind words.

Maybe Miss Foxpup chose you because she saw something special in you.

Well I can almost guarrantee you that there is nothing special about me. I am an ordinary fox pup. Trying to become a proper fox.

Thanks for your kind words as well!

It's inscribe.app, basically they connect to evm wallet and generate a btc wallet and assign that wallet to my evm. i made a withdraw from that wallet and this happen to me.

Unfortunately I am not able to understand this. It's out of my area. I hope someone will help you, but...
Just a friendly note from my side: ethereum is a shitcoin and it causes toooooo much trouble. It's not a coincidence that the majority of scams happen on ethereum. It's the scammers paradise.
Anyway... Good luck again!
166  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My tx is stuck on mempool for a week on: March 09, 2024, 03:34:21 PM
I use a dapp that control the btc wallet, so all txs were handle by that dapp. It has been 2 weeks til now and btc has not come back to wallet yet. I guess my best bet is wait few more days for tx being discarded by mempool.


What dapp? Are there dapps for bitcoin? I am surprised... I usually hear this term for ethereum. It feels strange that you have 88 dust outputs and if you combine this fact with the fact that you use a dapp... I mean, it sounds suspicious. Not from your side, but from the dapp's side.
167  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: apogio's Bitcoin Tools & Tutorials on: March 09, 2024, 12:12:08 PM
The tutorials that you have created are quite helpful ones for the users of the forum, and I'm very sure that many members have learnt something new after reading those tutorials. I'm the first one to advance congratulate you for your 1st anniversary on this forum. I wish you best of luck, I hope you'll continue making such great tutorials which may help users of the forum.

I seriously, deeply appreciate your kind words  Smiley

Hi all.

Tomorrow, I am celebrating my 1 year anniversary in the forum. I have big plans for tonight, so I will probably not manage to post this tomorrow.

So here I am today, to express my gratitude to each and everyone of you! All of you have been my guiding light towards my final destination, which is no other than to fully understand Bitcoin as a tool and to use it daily to improve my financial life.

I will use this post, to gather a set of tools and tutorials that I have been able to implement during my first year in the forum. Of course, the knowledge that I have gathered for the following list wouldn't have been possible without you.

This list, will be constantly updated. I can promise that as long as I am around in the forum, I won't stop learning and coding.

TOOLS
BASH21 - A simple BASH paper wallet generator
BRAIN21 - A simple Brain Wallet generator in BASH
PY21 - A simple BIP39 mnemonic generator in PYTHON

TUTORIALS
[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #1] Running Bitcoin Core on Raspbian Lite (GUI-less)
[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #2] Installing Electrs from source
[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #3] Sparrow terminal / infinite Whirlpool mixes
[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #4] Connecting BISQ to our node
[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #5] Hosting a Monero node on the same machine

In fact, I do consider it probable that Satoshi and the rest of the early miners will transfer them to quantum safe addresses when the time comes.

I have never thought about it, but it sounds very reasonable. That's of course possible, if we take for granted that satoshi is still out there, or that their keys are safe in someone else's hands.

What's the source for this conversion system? Seems a bit too technical for me to do without a proper guide to explain the ins and outs. I am guessing it would require an airgapped wallet to do the work offline in a safe manner.

To be honest, I have seen it somewhere, but I will disappoint you because I can't remember where.

The conversion could be even easier though.
Like this:
1 = 0
2 = 0
3 = 0
4 = 1
5 = 1
6 = 1
171  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Setting up Blockstream Jade on: March 09, 2024, 08:30:27 AM
There is an advanced feature in Jade that allows you to generate your seed using dice. It's a bit complicated and isn't your average dice rolling method. It requires three die: two 16-sided and one 8-sided. There is a table that corresponds to words depending on the results of the three rolls. You can take a look at it here: https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/21328564164505

After you have done that, you can import the words into Jade and let it calculate the final word. It works both in the stateless and the standard Jade signing mode.
Create a recovery phrase using dice

Ok I think I have undrestood.
So, basically, you need to:
1. throw the dice
2. manually convert the results into BIP39 words using their helper table.
3. press calculate in order to calculate the last word (it will internally use SHA256 etc).
Sounds good.

Let me add another way, with 1 classic 6-sided die.

1. Get 1 classic 6-sided die.
2. Convert the throw into bits like this: 1 = 00, 2 = 01, 3 = 10, 4 = 11, 5 = 0, 6 = 1
3. Generate 11 sequences of 11 bits each.
4. Convert each sequence into decimal.
5. Find the corresponding word in bip39 wordlist table.
6. Import the words in Jade, as mentioned in your list.
7. Jade will calculate the checksum for you.
8. Write the final seed phrase down and back it up at twice.

I have 0.1 BTC.  Yes, one tenth.  I bought it at $40,000 .......

Are you sure that you are confident sharing how much bitcoin you own?
It's entirely your decision to do it, but, I mean, isn't it a little strange to share this sensitive information in a public forum?
It's not that something bad can happen to you for saying it, but it's against your own privacy.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you are up to.

But... seriously... what the hell is shiba inu?  Tongue What does it have to offer? Is it solely for trading purposes?
173  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Setting up Blockstream Jade on: March 08, 2024, 09:48:05 PM
Getting the entropy from dice rolls in combination with a passphrase for added security is also a good option.

You mean in general, right?
Because you can't do that in Jade. There isn't a feature to import custom entropy, like there is for example in BlueWallet, where you can import dice rolls or coin flips etc.
174  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: My tx is stuck on mempool for a week on: March 08, 2024, 09:32:06 PM
There is no "gas" in Bitcoin. Gas only exists in ethereum.

The first transaction you posted is curious.
You have 89 UTXOs. 88 out of the 89 are dust outputs (546 sats each).
You have used 2.62 sat/vB and the total fee was ~$13 (20,000 sats), simply because you have tried to consolidate 89 UTXOs.
If you try to speed it up either by CPFP or RBF, you will end up paying huge amounts in fees.

I suggest you wait, approximately 2 weeks. After these 2 weeks, the transaction will be discarded from the mempools of the nodes.
Then you will have to create another transaction.
I suggest you select only the large UTXO and ignore the 89 dust outputs.
89 x 546 ~= 90,000 satoshis.
If you include those, with the current fee rates, you will end up paying much more in fees.
So, I suggest you forget them.
175  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: why was bitcoin written in C++ instead of pure C? on: March 08, 2024, 09:24:03 PM
Never used java maybe because while I was starting my learning the horror I heard about it made me ran away from it Cheesy(poor me!) but I could say 70% out of known people  migrated  due to its implementation just like a mini C language

What do you mean "migrated"? And more importantly what do you mean "mini C"?

Migration from C to Java is almost impossible. Most of the time the apps that are written in C, will remain in C, or they will be re-writen in Java from scratch.
176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Quantum Computing and Bitcoin private key on: March 08, 2024, 09:17:23 PM
Quantum computing will not cripple Bitcoin, at least not in the immediate future. The whole fear about Quantum Computing is with the fact that Shor's algorithm can break Asymmetric Crypto algorithms, which is basically used by everything. Note that this doesn't provide enough speedup for symmetric ones, SHA256 and RIPEMD160 for example.

Just for the sake of accuracy, let me ask the following to clarify whether my thoughts are correct.
I thought that the classification in symmetric and asymmetric algorithms only applies to encoding/decoding and encryption algothims.
SHA256 and RIPEMD160 are not encoding/decoding algorithms, nor encryption algorithms. They are one-way functions that always produce the same result (digest) for a given input.
There isn't an encryption key, in SHA256, nor in RIPEMD160 so they can't be classified as symmetric or asymmetric.
Am I wrong?
177  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: why was bitcoin written in C++ instead of pure C? on: March 08, 2024, 02:02:01 PM
Does your statement apply to Java in general or just newer Java version? I often hear Java 8.0 or older is hated due to various reasons.

[1] https://openhub.net/p/linux/analyses/latest/languages_summary
[2] https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-prepares-to-move-the-linux-kernel-to-modern-c/

I have been a Java software engineer since 2017. When I first started we used Java 6. Now we mainly use Java 11.

Certainly Java has evolved. Before Java 8 it was a bit frustrating and not feature rich.

Java 8 was a huge development in my opinion. Then Java 11 is also a big step up.

Nowadays, Java 19 has some significant new features.

What I love about Java is the platform independence and the fact that it is maintained very well. People keep using it and keep supporting its development.
178  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: why was bitcoin written in C++ instead of pure C? on: March 08, 2024, 07:55:23 AM
Seriously though, try implementing a linked list or hash table in C. And then again for your second and third project. Then you will see why everyone uses STD for this kind of stuff.

There is only so much you can implement without using classes, if you don't want to fill up your program with messy structures and pointers like in the Linux kernel. It makes for an unmaintainable mess.

makes sense. thank god he didn't use java...

Java is a more advanced C++. It's great for general purpose applications and of course it's easy to use and maintain. Most of the libraries you need are available in Java, so actually customization is minimal, most of the time.
On the other hand, NotATether is right about C. In C you can literally do anything you want, because you have direct access to the RAM (memory), using pointers and memory allocation functions (malloc, calloc etc). However, this "freedom" most of the time comes with an "unmaintainabe mess" (this phrase was perfectly used here).

How long can you keep counting "threesome", "foursome", "pentasome"? And when does it become an orgy?
Looking at Wikipedia's list of Numerical prefixes, quattuorvigintisome sounds challenging Cheesy Sexagintisome becomes too obvious again, and millisome sounds a bit sad. That leaves us with infinisome or just plurisome.
I should probably start sleeping already to gain strength.

Hahah, the only thing that worries me is what we will do with the foxes that will decide to join after the infinisome has started.
In all seriousness ( Tongue ) to achieve infinisome you need to have an incoming flow, either constant or variable.
You are allowed to have an outgoing flow, but at all times incoming flow should be higher that outgoing flow.
That said, all the foxes need to be highly capable to endure during the infinisome.

I will name the infinisome as "the process". Now we can all talk about the process in any context.

Finally, when does the process start? Next Wednesday? I probably need to get some rest.
180  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto Alive ?! on: March 08, 2024, 07:28:34 AM
I think we would, my hunch is that he's definitely the kind of guy that would definitely show up and will show his presence

I am not sure how exactly you have come to this conclusion.
Satoshi has always tried to remain hidden. When Gavin went to the CIA, then Satoshi instantly stopped and sent this email (tldr: I've moved on to other things.".
Satoshi sent this email on Apr 23, 2011.
Since then, we have no clue about his whereabouts. So, does he really give you the impression of a guy that would show up?


I don't think so too but thing about it this way, he's the richest man in the world and he can decide to probably flood the bitcoin market with those old bitcoins to literally shake the market but the problem is that, he's never going to be able to sell it all at once, would be difficult I think.

Let's say he does. Let's say he moves his coins and tries to sell them.
Where would he do that? In a CEX?
You know that the authorities will contact the CEX instantly and they will freeze the coins, until they are done with inspecting Satoshi (the real person).
