There are details about this here: https://bitcointalk.org/privacy.php

IPs are held for 6 months unless you enable limited retention (available in profile settings).

You probably won't get very far with this.

Most IPOs make more money from the initial listing than they are generally worth - even by market's standards. Coinbase recently had an IPO and they may be a good one to look into to learn this.

I don't think there are share plans in place for people who work for crypto exchanges either.
1623  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Non-KYC Methods for converting fiat -> Bitcoin? on: February 07, 2022, 05:54:35 PM
I think there might be some cexes that have p2p options that don't require kyc (potentially sites like best change but I haven't used them so don't know how trustworthy they are - they've advertised here though and I've looked at their site).

There are other sites similar to local bitcoins that don't require kyc too.
1624  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Purpose on: February 07, 2022, 03:40:26 PM
Regulations will come to bitcoin if it sees mass adoption but they probably can't be added on chain and would have to be done in a centralised manner (so might be ignorable).

If bitcoin doesn't take over from fiat then we'll likely see conversions happening quite a bit of selling pressure may be added to the crypto market. Conversions themselves are inherintlu how the current currency systems work, many international businesses require the ability to convert money and a lot of governments and banks make it easy and cheap (or free) to do.
1625  Economy / Economics / Re: Caentral banks rate rise could be biggest bluff on: February 07, 2022, 03:12:14 PM
The price of tech firms probably tells something of why the rate rises have come in anyway.

There's been a lot of divergence in tech shares after seeing just a rise for a few years...

Most countries will also be trying to match each other on rates before the rise occurs, the central bank in the UK have been threatening it for the past 6 months at least, perhaps they've determined the economy won't react to it much.
1626  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Have I lost my funds at Electrum? on: February 06, 2022, 03:52:39 PM
Can you send a screenshot of the channel and the initial transaction if that isn't private?

If it's listed as funded, the channel is probably still open.

Likely not the case here but just in case it's helpful: I think there's a CHANCE funds are claimable by the cosigner if you don't bring electrum back online once a fortnight but it'd have to be initiated by the other node.
1627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is NFT real store of value on: February 05, 2022, 05:40:06 PM
I kinda have the same feelingd about art as I do towards nfts though. It's how much the buyer values the individual product and actually a more focussed version of supply and demand (I've not done much with ntfs and nothing with art based ones).
1628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor says crypto regulations would speed adoption on: February 05, 2022, 02:22:19 AM
Most regulations have been targeted at exchanges and exchangers imo and I don't think that'll changr with more regulations coming in.

If people aren't happy with regulations, there will probably be ways to get around them without too much hassle or they might be able to just go ignored for those too with smaller amounts of crypto and go fairly unnoticed.
1629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Distribution on: February 04, 2022, 04:10:06 PM
What does the M mean on the charts?

It can't be million but I don't know what it could be 0.87 of otherwise...

A lot of whales will probably lose their funds, get bored, sell their coins or have something else happen to dethrone them as whales I think retail and institutions will become among the largest holders (there are probably a lot of whales that just sit watching their funds in their wallet or who actively participate in crypto - either via development or discussions in the community and those are probably well invested to see bitcoin prosper).
1630  Economy / Exchanges / Re: UK ATM Fee question on: February 04, 2022, 03:58:38 PM
You might want to search up the atm provider you used or contact their support about this as you've not given us much info.

Did you only convert a smaller amount (eg £5)? It's possible the atm charges a % fee and a fixed fee for conversions (they have to pay a transaction fee anyway to send you the funds).

It is cheaper to use online exchanges such as coinbase though, it just depends on what you want it for though (if it was just to test out buying with a bitcoin atm for example).
1631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I see NFTs sent to my TRUST wallet inside Solflare wallet? on: February 04, 2022, 12:53:55 AM

Hi, I did it and the NFTs are there. I was relieved. Should I always uninstall the chrome extension when not in use? Thank you!


Noooo I'd leave it installed (that'll reduce the risk of you hurriedly installing a scam wallet), if you're skeptical of it though you could use it on a different browser than your main one or just limit its permissions (if that's possible - eg metamask wanting the ability to read the websites you load or access the clipboard).
1632  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I see NFTs sent to my TRUST wallet inside Solflare wallet? on: February 03, 2022, 08:02:05 PM
PLEASE work out if something is legit BEFORE installing it!

Assuming you downloaded it from the official website then yes you should be able to just put your mnemonic in and see your nft - potentially provided you did indeed send it to your Solana address.

You could look up your Solana address in a block explorer beforehand anyway to know if the nft is there or not.
1633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Matic and BSC chain are now too popular not to include a crypto wallet on: February 03, 2022, 04:05:50 PM
I'd imagine trust wallet (if that's still a thing binance have) should accept their own coin.

BSC is just an ethereum fork anyway so you should be able to use ethereum wallets like metamask with a bit of simple network configuration.
1634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hacker Kingpin bypasses a hardware crypto wallet security to recover $2 million on: February 03, 2022, 03:59:50 PM
I think I remember this exploit being demonstrated quite a bit in 2018 (there was one that relied on determining a pin by the resonant frequencies the device emitted through the cable and I think one that bypassed the clock on the secure chip - every time you out in a wrong pin, the delay for it being checked and passed from the clock is meant to exponentially increase).
1635  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The market is confusing on: February 02, 2022, 04:09:35 PM
Those analysts are giving their opinion on what they think will happen. No one is more than about 75-85% accurate.

Logically, based on what I've seen before. I expect us to range between $30k-$40k for a while (maybe a few months), break the $30 at some point potentially to spread a bit of panic and then go back to continue the previous trend upwards (at least past $60k).

If a lot of people seem bullish and bearish at the same time, it might be because something similar to this has been seen by them and a few will know of the potential to keep staying low (and bouncing between $30k to $40k for a while would actually make any up move quite a bit healthier).

(obviously this post is given for educational purposes only, there's a good chance the market does something completely different - and the numbers aren't accurate due to summarising slanted resistance lines).
1636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Am I the only one who loves BTC but hates the Metaverse idea and the NFTs? on: February 02, 2022, 03:57:55 PM
I don't have a good grasp on it but I feel the metaverse could just be the Minecraft of the past - both will probably keep growing.

In game and art nfts are fine and useful. Paying $180+ to play a game is probably not what anyone would consider too reasonable though or buying some land for a few $k.

I think people are searching for a modern day version of netflix/amazon/bitcoin/ethereum and falling at it.
1637  Economy / Economics / Re: India's 30% tax on income from digital asset on: February 02, 2022, 04:46:13 AM

  • 30% tax on all income/profit from sale/transfer of Digital Assets
  • Losses are also non-deductible or cannot be used as an offset against other income

This seems like quite a harsh rule to expect to implement. It means speculators there won't be able to take as much of an advantage of the market in case something goes wrong - might make things like scalping and swing trading seem more risky.



I'm sure therell be many fancy ways the cost of acquisition thing can have exploitable loopholes too unless it's very specific in the legislation.


What governments like this one do is kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

High taxes on innovators is a very good way to destroy innovation. Many countries have an "entrepreneurs' relief" for such a reason which normally reduces tax or spreads it out.
1638  Other / Meta / Re: Sorry if I hurt some mods but care to explain? on: February 01, 2022, 09:51:06 PM
At a guess it's either:
1. A mod/patroller quickly handling reports/new posts.
2. Considered low value or something you've already said? I'm not sure if this would be enforced much though since the post was made in the reputation side of the forum.
1639  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why the reduced publicity? on: January 31, 2022, 08:46:26 PM
Bitcointalk has been sliding down search engines for a few years too too when searching for crypto related subjects. I'm not too sure why this is, maybe some sites started favouring news articles or more modern social media and reduced where this forum stood. Perhaps the other media was considered more reliable, moderated or something too (eg Wikipedia having several editors for most pages or warnings when there are only a few).
1640  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is it possible to recover overwritten wallet files? on: January 31, 2022, 08:38:04 PM
Is the wallet worth attempting to recover?

If your drive is not full and you've got an extra computer you should be able to produce a disk image of your drive and attempt to find the wallet file that way - you should also stop using the computer with the deleted wallet file on it as much as possible (and shut it down using the power button or plug). You'll probably have to run ubuntu or something to be able to easily take a disk image and have a separate drive so it's not a simple task but also not too hard to do.

Edit: got distracted and forgot this was to do with electrum, autopsy can scan for electrum wallet files directly though apparently.

Apparently there's a fingerprint from the db you can search for, referenced here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41447/filesystem-is-corrupt-how-to-find-wallet-dat or it might be possible to import the disk image into forensics software like autopsy to get the info you need.

(after doing all this, there's a chance you still won't be able to get your wallet back though).
