One must have access to your BTT profile to be able to teleport it. That's how it works  Cheesy
Any "admin" can make up anything they want.

explain why you teleported your account
Allow me to announce right now that if you ever see my account "teleported", it's not me. I can't help what an untrusted third party website does, but rest assured I have nothing to do with it.

We have a big blocker here, bring the pitchforks!!!!!!!!  Roll Eyes
I already store many gigabytes of Ordinal spam in my copy of the blockchain Sad
I think I said it in 2017 already: I don't care how Bitcoin scales, as long as it scales. Bitcoin is almost twice as old now, and we're still looking at the same problem: the blockchain can't handle more data.
Makes you wonder what would have happened if blocks were a lot bigger: at very low fees, the Ordinal spammers could have filled hundreds of megabytes per blocks for the price they paid in some months. As a rough estimate, given big enough blocks they could have doubled the current blockchain size just by spamming in the past year. So big blocks aren't really a solution either, although at least it would keep transaction fees low for the rest of us.

Anyhow, if there is no other hype starting, the weekend is going to make mincemeat out of this, I'm always looking at the 10sat/vb and this is now down to 329vMB from almost 400 a week ago.
So that's -71 vMB in a week? That's the problem indeed: even without new Ordinal spam, the backlog takes forever to clear. Based on your date it'll be a month to start confirming 10 sat/vbyte. We'd need a monthly 1 GB block to clear mempool.

zkSNACKs already successfully convinced their remaining user base that the current collaboration with blockchain analysis is not a privacy issue, so I think they'll market it successfully, again.
One thing still isn't clear to me: does the coinjoin coordinator see which input belongs to which output? If so, they know everything. If not, I'm curious how it works on a technical level (but don't really want to spend time on it since I'll never use them anyway).

Kraken supports LN withdrawals. But you'll need either a custodial wallet (not recommended for larger amounts), or your own LN wallet with enough incoming capacity.

As an alternative, you could use an instant exchange to convert a low-fee altcoin to Bitcoin LN when needed.

Well, in this case I think you are the exception that proves the rule. And in any case, I think that those who like you did not know that you could earn money here when you register, once they are monetizing the account, yes they would change forum if what they earn writing makes a difference in their life (gives them to live in poor countries or is a significant extra income in countries not so poor).
Let me put it this way: if there's a forum that I like and where I can earn money, I may actually join. But I may join a forum I like without the money anyway (and I've done that many times).

We really need some features of the Windows and some of the applications are mainly created for Windows OS
Really? Like what? I'm thinking of games, but that won't work well in a VM anyway.

It is still possible for malware to infect your host system, if you transfer infected files directly between the guest and host operating systems or use shared folders.
Copying a file doesn't mean you're going to execute it.

Quote
An increasing number of malwares can identify whether they are running inside a VM or sandbox and keep their malicious payloads from executing and  this implies you may run compromised software in a VM and without even knowing, but when you run it on your main system, it could unleash its full potential.
Obviously, you shouldn't run untrusted software outside the VM. If you do that, you could just as well not have used the VM.
1629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Jan 2024] Fees are high, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: January 26, 2024, 07:41:37 AM
currently some transactions of 23 sats/vbyte have a chance of getting confirmed into the next block.
That's tricky: there are hundreds of MBs of Ordinal spam waiting at 23 sat/vbyte. They used this amount to be able to abuse ViaBTC's transaction accelerator. So if you use 23 sat/vbyte, chances are it won't get confirmed any time soon.
Pay a tad more, mempool.space recommends 25 sat/vbyte for medium priority.

I've never seen mempool so "united": anything under 22.1 sat/vbyte gets purned, and a few percent more is enough for a quick confirmation. I hate spammers Sad

How about Jr. Member goodbed? He's trying to get Merit and his posts contain a lot of generic blabla:
Predicting which cryptocurrency, Ethereum or Bitcoin, will dominate in the future is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the market. Both have distinct purposes, with Bitcoin primarily seen as a store of value, and Ethereum serving as a platform for decentralized applications and smart contracts. While Bitcoin remains a pioneer and a prominent choice for investors seeking a digital gold narrative, Ethereum's versatility and ongoing developments, including Ethereum 2.0, position it as a strong contender for broader use cases. The outcome will depend on factors like technological advancements, regulatory developments, and evolving market preferences, making it uncertain which will dominate in the long run.

I noticed him when he "answered" my post on the tech board with generic blabla:
May I ask why "they" donated that many dust transactions? Were those different people or was it one person?
It's unclear why multiple small donations as dust transactions, were made. It could be from different people or one person, the intent behind such transactions is often uncertain.

Not if Linux is using one of it's proprietary file systems, like ext4.
Ext4 can be mounted on Windows. I was more thinking about encrypting the entire filesystem to avoid accessing it.

I've never seen the word "proprietary" used for an open source filesystem.
1633  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: ViaBTC free slots available [1 Jan 2024] on: January 25, 2024, 02:18:41 PM
I assume that's probably because the fee has dropped to 24 and for ViaBTC to work you still need ~20sat/vb so it makes little sense
Even worse, according to mempoo.space 23.2 sat/vbyte is the purging limit. Take a look at Johoe's graph: it looks like the 300 MB mempool is almost completely filled with 23 sat/vbyte transactions, and if you zoom out a bit, you'll see most of them are most likely all created by Ordinal spammers. So you can choose: pay a bit above 23.2 sat/vbyte, or wait weeks.

The direction in which this thread went, shows that not everyone knows that it is not a good idea to use the same passwords on different forums. It is obvious that this mantra should be repeated everywhere and always, like the one "Not your keys, not your coins". No matter how many times it is repeated, there will be those who make such a mistake again.
Of course they know, they just don't care. And even if they use different passwords, chances are they're very alike anyway. Password1234 and Password4321 for instance. It would be more useful to promote a password manager, because most people have more accounts than they can remember.
And even if they use different passwords, chances are they forget which one belongs to which site. To enter, they "try" all passwords they know, thereby compromising all of them Cheesy

This lets you benefit from the software options of Windows and the security of Linux in the same machine.
With this setup, malware installed on Windows can still access your Linux partition. I have no idea how likely this is (but I wouldn't want Windows to ever touch my partitions).
1636  Economy / Reputation / Re: What is going on??? on: January 25, 2024, 09:19:01 AM
you have trust issues bro
you admit also distrusting ethereum, bnb, xrp ...
It's funny how you mention 3 centrally controlled shitcoins and then say I'm the one with issues. Is that the best argument you have?
1637  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Scammer lead developer resigns from honeypot Wasabi Wallet on: January 25, 2024, 09:17:39 AM
Another reason why it would be a great acquisition for them is that it would give them a huge competitive advantage over other blockchain analysis firms. They'd be the only ones able to provide data on Wasabi CoinJoin'ed transactions.
Wouldn't it be more likely for all privacy minded users to abandon Wasabi entirely? Even if the current bad reputation isn't enough, that will end the moment it's bought by a blockchain analysis company.

the software is exactly the same as this forum, even newer version
None of that is relevant. When it comes to handling passwords, it comes to trusting the forum owner does what he says he does. Your "evidence" is a link to your own site, that doesn't prove anything. And it's impossible to prove.

Quote
can the software be modified to store unencrypted passwords, probably possible, but then again everything is possible, statoshi being trump is also possible.
You're turning a serious thing into something ridiculous. Is that to distract the reader?

Quote
I am not going to even entertain stupid insinuations.
I've seen it many times: wannabe scammers respond to serious concerns with name calling. Honest people would do all they can to convince readers with facts.

Quote
just because you dislike altcoinstalks, it does not make it suspicious.
Of course it's suspicious! Just like altcoins, ICOs, NFTs, DeFi and Ordinals, your forum is also created to make money for the creator. And like many others, you need Bitcointalk to promote your little scheme.
Let's try the other way: the fact that I don't like your forum doesn't mean it should be trusted.

Quote
Either way, a message is being displayed to all teleported members now on altt to have a different password.
Why? Are you assuming your users are that dumb? Everyone knows by now not to reuse passwords, and reading it again won't make the people who do it change their ways.

Quote
And as i mentioned previously, altt admin does not need the money, altt admin distributes few hundred dollars monthly, every week there is at least a giveaway or raffle or revenue share ...
Revenue without needing the money. Right.

Being probably the highest paid on this forum and having a lot of threads that you update once a week I think you are so invested in this forum that you have a blind spot on this subject (as a psychological term). With all due respect I say this to you.
I know I'm not the average forum user Wink But I also know I wouldn't join a forum just to earn money. When I joined Bitcointalk I didn't even know signature campaigns exist.

Quote
"a total restriction on paid clickable signatures on this forum is announced."
In this scenario there's a bigger problem: Bitcointalk's mission is "to be as free as possible". If the forum loses more and more of it's freedom, it may be time to move on to a place that's closer to this mission again.
