Whether or not the report is true doesn't matter; no one should be keeping that amount of money in a wallet owned and controlled by a third party.
- Not your keys; not your coins.

Centralized exchanges are means through which the government can regulate amd control a decentralized technology like Bitcoin. You do not own the funds, if you don't own the private keys.

Welcome to Bitcointalk forum.

For the image to be rendered, you would need to convert it to a BBcode first, otherwise it would not be displayed.
Even as a newbie, if you did it correctly, the image would show up in your profile and when someone who can post images quotes your post.

Disappointing result from Barcelona, and I dare say; lots of work to be done in order to compete in Europe, despite the great form in the league.

Tonight's result swings the pendulum in favour of inter heading into the reverse fixture, but it's still very much in Barcelona's hands to decide their fate.

The phrase 'bitcoin generator's makes it seem a bit complex, in the basic sense, you want to create a wallet which holds your private and public keys.
Electrum is a great option for this, so is Bitcoin core. Ensure you follow the process securely, to really keep the process safe, and back up your seedphrase properly.

If you're looking for an address that would cut on fees, you should go for SegWit addresses (starting with a 'b'). It reduces the fee rate paid on transactions, as it (basically) reduces the size of the transaction.

I'm certain that bisq does not control fiat transactions which happens off their platform, so it's certain the buyer of your Bitcoin would see your bank account details necessary to make the payment. This would be the same with other means of exchange.
In this scenario, your data would not be fully exposed, but only enough for the other party to be able to make a transaction, and you confirm on receipt of the funds.

It's advisable to use a privacy-centered means of accepting fiat payment, to avoid disclosing personal details

I have indeed hitting some errors when accessing the search option over the past few days, did not note the particular error, and also did nottthink too much of it, as it was not in an amount to be bothered about.

I'm guessing your case is of a much higher duration than 2-4 errors over that span of about 3 days and over two different browsers (Firefox and duckduckgo).

By Bitcoin arena, do you mean exchange? If yes, then the above suggestion bisq and LocalCryptos are good options but the medium of paying also has to be private.

There are other centralized and P2P platforms which promise to not disclose your information. But, whatever personal details you've shared with a 2nd party should be considered compromised, as they can be hacked and stolen, or the government through a court order forces them to reveal it.
Even if they promise not to keep logs, you should still not trust them entirely.

Here's the link the the activity calendar. It tells the date and time of the start of the next activity period, which is 8:53 (forum time) tomorrow.

You can use the sheet in subsequent times to know when to expect an activity push, after making more posts than activities.

The culture of hitting on newbies, for the sake of it is quite unhealthy to me. Members ask questions based on ignorance of the fact, and sometimes can, and should, be given the benefit of the doubt even if it looks obvious to older members.
Op could be asking if there's an unwritten rule about it, and even though the can post there (other boards), is it something the should be doing, or it could be a simple oversight.

Newbies are encourage to ask questions, B&H could very well be the kindergarten of the forum, and it's a complex forum enough for anyone to get confused on one thing or the other.

His thinking might have be somewhat similar to the Bitcoin idea, but the intention was way different.

Having a singular power plant fueling the system already presents a sort of centralization, one which can be controlled, particularly by the state it is located in; considering that control of money (to sponsor wars) was the idea behind the whole thought, that would have made it no different

Any particular reason you only wish to use payoneer?
Bisq is a great, secure and private way to buy cryptocurrencies, and you can check out the list of accepted payment methods here.

There was a time Newbie jail existed, when newbies where restricted to Beginners & Help board, but that has been stopped and would not be coming back.

You are free to post in other boards on the forum (edit; except serious discussion and Ivory tower, as a newbie), and I would encourage you check around the various boards and find topics that interests you, from politics to economics. You can also check if you have a local board to interact with people from your region.

Do well to check the pinned message on the different boards and child boards, before making a thread there.

If your seedphrase gets lost, it cannot be recovered, but if you suspect it has been compromised; for example, you just imputed it into a suspected phishing link, or it was exposed one way or the other, you can try to very quickly sweep the finds linked to the keys into a new address which is not compromised.

There is of course no guarantee that you would be faster, and wouldn't lose funds before you can successfully send out the funds.

To avoid situations when it is lost (but not compromised) keep multiple backups.

Putting them in two different locations would prevent this. Disaster proof is not so reliable as there are many variables to consider.

A safe way of being relatively secured is having more than one safe locations. A disaster would not likely hit both (or more) of the locations at the exact same time.

Op, you should note that you can only bump the fee if you enabled RBF when making the transaction. The only other option left is to wait till it gets confirmed, or in the off chance that it doesn't, till it's dropped from the mempool (~2 weeks).

CPFP - Child Pays For Parent is an option if you are desperate to have it sent now, and you're in control of the receiving address.

Except the inputs involved where unconfirmed when they were used in a new transaction.

You should have started from the basics when you first began your journey. Knowledge is the first thing you gain when planning an investment, before you consider putting in your money.

With the current situation, you're not starting from the scratch, you're restarting now, with a bit of experience.
Many of the high ranked members here, might have made one or two mistakes during the start of their Bitcoin journey, and have learnt valuable lessons along the way.

How can you learn more about Bitcoin and benefit from the plethora of information available on this forum?
This should be your question and not how to move up ranks.

The primary goal of this forum is to be a hub of sharing information and engaging in constructive discussions. You can benefit from those discussions by reading more and doing your research. There's a search option on the forum, to dig into whatever information you need and you can always ask questions if you get confused on anything.

Protip; the search option would also answer your initial question.

Cryptocurrencies has not led to many scams, scams have been very common long before the first Bitcoin transaction was made, scammers just had one more option to perpetrate their scams through.
People have also been calling victims to phishing apps and links and losing money, even through their bank accounts.

Always download from the official website of the wallet and not from Google play store. You can also verify the signature for extra confirmation.

I do not tend to get a lot of merit or consider myself to be very knowledgeable, especially about the technicalities of Bitcoin, but I would say that users do not get merits for any particular type of knowledge. There's no blue print on what you should know or how you should write; we have members here who focus on the gambling board, or economics, or mining, or trading and get merits there, while sharing useful information on topics they are interested in.

My point is, do not post a certain way inorder to fit in, particular when that topic does not interest you. Find your niche and grow your knowledge in that particular area. Wish you best of luck on your learning journey.

This is terrible advice. Hot wallets are absolutely not ideal to be used as a means of storage, and the ones you recommended are not the most ideal ones to use.

Keeping a backup, when you wallet can be easily hacked from your wallet which is connected to the internet all the time?
