Been going through some personal stuff.
I will repay back the amount+interest+compensation for the delay in full by Jan 2023
Sorry!
I expect no understanding.
I am really sorry for the delay.

Still a step in the right direction.
When the repayment happens, please @edgycorner, @shasan say my name in here so I can see and remove the support for the flag.
Good luck @edgycorner in finding those funds and next time learn to be more communicative with the lender.
1622  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is it possible to force miners to include a transaction in a block? on: December 16, 2022, 02:11:54 PM

Since every node (hence each pool) has its own mempool, you cannot ensure a node has received or not a transaction.
This being said, the government nodes wanting to censor a transaction can simply not tell / sign that they've received it.
Nobody stops them from doing that and eluding your system, yet still working in the same way they do now.

So I see your system only something that gives more to do to honest (ie playing by the common rules) polls while the dishonest (in this case censoring) ones are favored.
Am I missing something?
1623  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Notes on: December 16, 2022, 02:00:25 PM
Could you reveal part of the private key (so that you have some authenticity) then have some kind of gadget that sends a message on chain to keep a record that the card has been opened, or something like that?

The card or coin usually has somewhere visible the address and you can look it up to see whether it was spent. The private key should remain private until the point the coins are redeemed/spent.
The only problem is that a skilled used may retrieve the private key and put everything back to look sealed. And at a much later point after selling that collectible/physical coin/card he can spend the coins on it. And you won't know what has happened and who, of the many hands the coin/card changed is the thief.
The chances are small, but the risk is there.

In the case of these funded physical items you have to trust the issuer and the other people who had their hands on the item. And the point of Bitcoin is to not trust anybody but you and math.



And yes, there's the OpenDime, which I agree, it's not too friendly. Still, somewhat better option for the job.
1624  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: what is the best crypto wallet for mobile? on: December 16, 2022, 01:31:15 PM
is there a better wallet for holding my crypto temporarily?? i am asking about mobile wallets guyz, not about cold wallets.

Since I consider mobile phones even less safe as desktop computers (especially as I use mostly Windows), I use mobile wallets only together with a hardware wallet.
This being said, although Green Wallet is open source and Mycelium is not, I do prefer the way Mycelium works and that's what I use on mobile. Again, this together with a hardware wallet.

If you want to risk and go without a hardware wallet, Electrum and Blue Wallet are very solid options.


PS. I have Android. I don't know which of these work on iPhone; if that's the case, look up those wallets' websites and see if they work for iOS. The wallets' websites should have links to the play store, don't just search on the store since there you may find malicious clones too.

Bummer, I see he's no longer active on the forum, so you probably won't get your money back. I mean, he logs in but he doesn't write and he isn't in signature campaigns any more.

I find more worrying that he didn't contact the lender to find a proper solution to pay back his loan, especially as the negative feedback will deny him access to the signature campaigns.
Unless the reason is war/problems with access and free time or some bad personal issues... I don't know... sorry shasan. I've supported the flag.

I've found the problem and it is, as in many similar cases, between the keyboard and the chair.
Yep, you were right and I am stupid. I managed to be careless with the config key.
I had, by mistake

Code:
log-filters = "INFO"

instead of the correct

Code:
log_filters = "INFO"

All fixed now. Thanks.

Our working prototype for fusion energy is the sun.

It uses its immense gravity and powerful magnetic field to keep the fusion process contained and prevent energy loss. The result is a fusion reaction which is extremely efficient, which can be sustained over long periods of time.

Scientists have tried to recreate this process in a way which can be miniaturized and contained as an energy source. I think their biggest obstacle is containment and insulation to prevent energy creep. Their goal is to recreate the containment properties the sun exhibits.

Currently, their containment is based on generating powerful magnetic fields. Which is the reason behind their process not being as efficient as they would like it to be. It is possible that unless more efficient methods of containment are devised, fusion energy might never be feasible. The sun can solve this problem by simply having a massive amount of mass and rotating metal core which produce powerful magnetic containment. We need something similar that can be scaled down in size, and not consume a ton of energy. To sustain the process long term. Its definitely not an easy obstacle to solve.

Our sun uses a huge number of Hydrogen atoms, it uses immense gravity and heat, plus it has a good number of millions of km of space as distance. OK.
But we, humans, have creativity. We may find out ways to do that in a way not 100% identical our sun does it.
Even the current (test, small scale) ways are already a gain. The energy used is all re-created and can be used for another ignition. And the extra (since more than the initial energy is re-created) can be harvested/used for humanity's use.


See the airplanes. They are no longer that much close to the "initial project" ie bird's flight. Still, they do the job.
Back to fusion: I do think that it can be done in 20-30 years. I do think the presented timeframe is okay.
1628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next generations on bitcoin on: December 16, 2022, 12:24:14 PM
What if 50-100 years from now new generations just fork bitcoin from the beginning to start again because they were not part of the early wealth accumulation? 🤔

In 50-100 years the gap is going to be so massive. Someone born 50 years from now have almost zero chance to own 1 bitcoin while there will be people holding thousands.

Does that mean new generations will have the motive to start bitcoin over again and start spreading the same way Facebook did? Starting from college students and get mass adopted later on?

You know, the simple fact a coin is called Bitcoin doesn't make it worth a lot. See all the Bitcoin forks.
Also a newly made coin may or may not become valuable, see the altcoins, in huge numbers being disappointing for the investors.
And, as a bottom line, the fact a coin (like bitcoin) worth a lot doesn't mean the world/the people get rich. No. Only few of the investors.

This being said, creating a new bitcoin may not make sense, especially if it'll be just a clone. I'd expect people will work in Satoshis in 50-100 years to overcome the price rise, but not much else.
So creating a new coin can (only) make sense if it brings something really new and useful to the ecosystem. And that's not related to the price of the competitor coins. Also that can be done now too, no need to wait 50 years. Again, see the altcoins, some did bring new useful features and some of those are going pretty much OK.
1629  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Nuclear Fusion be a reality in the next decade? on: December 15, 2022, 03:46:47 PM

I will start by telling that you're a bit late and this topic is already discussed for 2 days on bitcointalk, see A breakthrough in thermonuclear fusion technology! End of the era of hydrocarbon

However, I'll answer your question: the specialists said that we will have this somewhere in 15-30 years. 10 years timeframe would be kinda rushed, there are still big problems to overcome.
1630  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Short Adresses , how to check it? on: December 15, 2022, 01:50:01 PM
Is there any good reason to be looking for complete character of an incomplete addresses? If you have your seed phrase or private key, they can generate your complete address anytime that you want it.

In these cases the private key tends to stay hidden under a seal. That's because short addresses/firstbits are useful for collectible items, usually coins, where the space is very limited.
And people still want to check whether the collectible they've bought is indeed funded.

Happy Birthday!
I've seen a flaw in what you've done and I'd like to point it out here: you've put your bitcoins to storage into somebody else's wallet. Yes, that somebody else is Binance in your case.
You've missed all the "not your keys, not your coins" messages on this forum??
Yes, if nothing bad happens, Binance will keep granting you access to your money. And if something bad happens... bad luck.

I advise you learn how to keep your coins safe in your own custody (generate a wallet or seed safely offline, or buy a hardware wallet, for example). It not be easy (or it can mean another investment), but if you master that, your money will be indeed yours, not like now.
1632  Local / Bine ai venit! / Re: Salut on: December 15, 2022, 01:26:11 PM
Oricum am reusit sa fac cam toate monedele sa mi le transfer in ETH si acuma caut cum sa le fac bitcoin.

Există diferite tipuri de "case de schimb", unele cer "datele din buletin", altele nu.
Ce vreau în schimb să îți spun este să fii atent la ce fel de Bitcoin îți oferă la schimb. În sensul că pe lângă Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV și alte măgării, mai există și câte un fel de "wrapped Bitcoin" sub formă de token pe fiecare blockchain mai important (inclusiv pe ETH și BSC). Niciunele dintre ce am enumerat nu sunt de fapt Bitcoin, ci monede alternative care nu funcționează pe blockchain-ul de bitcoin și care nu vor putea ajunge în portmoneul tău Bitcoin Core sau Electrum, de exemplu.

Dar nu vreau să spun chestii pe care poate deja le știi, așa că mă opresc aici.
1633  Economy / Exchanges / Re: STOP THE EXCHANGE FUD; Everyone will suffer the effect. on: December 15, 2022, 09:10:35 AM

1. While your advertising for https://BitcoinCleanup.com is a nice gesture, keeping that fake extra signature can easily get your post removed for being against forum rules.
2. Exchange FUD is good and bad. It's bad because it creates panic amongst those not thinking too far. I see it not a big issue, sorry. And it's good because it can become the most correct proof of reserves. All in all, we keep preaching "not your keys, not your coins" and nobody cares, right?

So all in all, you should not care about the FUD. If Binance is solid enough, will survive and even get stronger. If it's not, something else will take its place and soon enough it won't be missed.
1634  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is storing sensitive data on blockchain a wise idea? on: December 15, 2022, 09:04:38 AM
Keep your sensitive data the same way you keep your wallet recovery seed.

While your wallet seed is best to stay offline, medical data can easily get lost if kept on paper. Archives get burned down, archives get flooded, earthquakes can damage them too. Even more, medical data (see original post!) needs to be shared between various institutions. This makes it important to be kept in a digital format (easy to share, easy to search) in multiple copies. Of course, old school databases replicated in cloud and shared only between the relevant institutions would be the first option, but a blockchain can be OK too in some cases.

Now, as a second thought, if I'd use blockchain (read up a few posts and see my point on malpraxis), I'd probably use a private blockchain for the job, to somewhat reduce the risks of unauthorized access, no matter how good the data is encrypted.

And then even the QC issue OP was mentioning is not an issue.

Salut. Bogdan aici.
Sunt pe aici de putina vreme.
Nu sunt chiar nou in lumea crypto, dar nu sunt cel mai bine informat despre toate, poate reusesc sa mai invat cate ceva.

Salut și bine ai venit!
Orice problemă ai, întreabă. Cu puțină răbdare, probabil că vei primi răspunsurile corecte.
Bănuiesc că nu e greu să înțelegi că și aici, ca peste tot în lume, vei găsi și oameni faini, și prostovani, și țepari, iar tu va trebui să îți folosești mintea...


Am văzut că ai cerut un împrumut în secțiunea internațională. Nu îl vei primi fiindcă ești nou (iar un cont nou nu valorează nimic și deci nu prezintă încredere), iar ceea ce oferi tu ca siguranță nu valorează iar nimic, că poți să extragi tu banii și să lași împrumutătorul cu buzele umflate. Dar am văzut că ai primit în schimb ajutor să îți extragi bănuții din portofel, foarte bine!

Ca regulă generală, pe tehnic lumea este mai mult decât bucuroasă să te ajute (cât timp nu încerci să răspândești executabile cu viruși). În schimb, dacă ceri bani în vreun mod care poate să ascundă o țeapă, lumea este mai mult decât fericită să îți ruineze reputația.


Cred că am acoperit principalul. Bine ai venit, baftă, și.. să scrii cât mai mult pe aici, inclusiv în secțiunea în limba română! Smiley

Edit: tot am uitat ceva: orice afacere faci, să o faci prin intermediar/escrow cu reputație foarte bună și să fii atent la furtul de identitate/impersonalizare, prin nume asemănătoare sau pe Telegram.
1636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin full node question (accessible to everyone) on: December 15, 2022, 08:32:22 AM
If you want a server other people can use, you would need to run something like ElectrumX or Electrs, but these require much more resources.

Keep in mind that Electrs is also for "friends and family" only, even its git page tells that if it's exposed to the wild it opens the door to attacks, recommending Blockstream's fork for public use:

Note that this implementation of Electrum server is optimized for personal/small-scale (family/friends) usage. It's a bad idea to run it publicly as it'd expose you to DoS and maybe also other attacks. If you want to run a public server you may be interested in the Blockstream fork of electrs which is better optimized for public usage at the cost of consuming significantly more resources.
1637  Other / Meta / Re: Ignored user's post on QUOTE is visible on: December 15, 2022, 08:15:35 AM
But when someone else quote the ignored user, it gets visible which I guess doesn't make any sense.

Well, think it like this: you block person1 number in your phone. You talk with person2. And person2 tells you "you know, person1 said this and that".
We have the same situation here too.

Now, if person2 talks more about what person1 tells than anything else, then you can consider blocking/ignoring person2 too. Else, no biggie.
However, not a bug.

Asta pentru că dacă pe de o parte înţeleg de ce nu ai vrea şi utilizatori mai puţin cunoscuţi să participe, Kryptowerk pare să aducă nişte premii atractive de fiecare dată chiar şi pentru utilizatorii care niciodată nu au avut în gând să colecţioneze aşa ceva.  Poţi aşa să mai faci la fiecare tombolă câte 1-2 utilizatori să devină interesaţi de colecţionarea unor astfel de produse din istoria Bitcoin sau a diverselor Criptomonede.

Chiar Gazeta spunea când am apărut în secţiunea românească de pe Bitcoin Talk că sunt foarte puţini utilizatori care să atingă nivelul Erou sau Legendar.  Asta înseamnă că participanţii tombolei vor face parte dintr-un grup foarte restrâns.

Nu ştiu.  Părerea mea acum.  Eu cred că aş merge mai degrabă pe tombole care să atragă oameni noi decât să le organizez în comunitatea foarte restrânsă.  Voi ce ziceţi?

Este greu de spus. Fiecare persoană/firmă are diferite motive pentru tombolele pe care le fac. Unii vor să devină mai cunoscuți, alții poate că aleargă după merite sau chiar trust feedback, iar alții vor să dea ceva înapoi. Bănuiesc că acest utilizator cade în ultima categorie. Iar de dat, vrea să dea înapoi celor de la care poate că a învățat ceva și celor cu care a făcut afaceri.

Pe de o parte îl pot înțelege că nu vrea să "riște" ca premiul să ajungă la vreunul care poate că nu îl va aprecia, chiar mai mult, poate că la anul nici nu va mai fi pe forum, pe de altă parte îți dau și ție dreptate, concursul este cam prea restrictiv, iar organizatorul pierde din vedere că această comunitate nu ar fi cum trebuie fără persoane noi venind și rămânând interesate (iar premiul lui putând să ajute în această privință). Plus că s-a dovedit că rangul de multe ori nu înseamnă nimic.

Dar na, fiecare organizator cu regulile lui, nu pot să mă bag...
Îmi pare rău...
1640  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving one third what you earn monthly is not that hard, isn't it ? on: December 14, 2022, 02:29:37 PM
It also depends on lifestyle and choices made.

Clearly.

Loans like car, personal and mortgages will seriously eat into any monthly income

In my country the people, after starting to have a steady income, usually at late 20s and in the 30s, take a loan and buy a flat.
Usually one has to pay some 20-30 years for that, hence if one took a loan for his flat in the past 10 years, not much of a chance for bitcoin either Undecided


But my point in the other post was not about that. My point was about the country. In some countries the minimum wage is low. In mine the minimum legal wage will rise next year to some 600 EUR.
A 20 years old person is a newbie in his field and will not have a great starting salary.
Taking all this into account, neither the $3k/month logic, nor the "living frugally" to save some bitcoins don't help.
What can help is a second job. But I think that in the 20s that's not an easy step to make.
