Note: if you own 1 btc in your private wallet at a bought price of $40,000 and now the price is $20,000 per Bitcoin, economically you are at $20,000/lost at the moment if you have sold your Bitcoin but if you still hold you 1 Bitcoin the value still remains the same is just the price that have changed. So as long as you have your private keys to the wllet that holds the Bitcoin with the 1 bitcoin balance you have not lost a dime.
Question: How many people could afford not to sell their Bitcoin? It's possible you can't help but to sell Bitcoin for daily necessity or large unexpected expenses. Even Andreas M. Antonopoulos had to sell his Bitcoin at low price. |

Dan apakah mungkin kalau diaplikasikan ke BTC?
Menurut saya, kemungkinan tersebut sangat kecil. Komunitas BTC sangat menghindari hard-fork dan menghargai beberapa hal yang diterapkan pada Bitcoin (seperti total 21 juta Bitcoin dan penggunaan PoW). Masalah block size limit saja terdapat kontrovesi hingga tahun 2017. |

Your statement can be rephrased as "nobody likes their share of the pie to be decreased". I can rephrase it further: Bitcoin users don't like their share of the pie to be decreased in some obscure way. They don't like any departure from the 21M bitcoin limit. Which makes perfect sense. --snip-- Exactly. Changing total Bitcoin supply would make Bitcoin immutability questionable. And if the community let such major change happen, IMO it's just matter of time before another major change happen. I will get to Monero's case. There, iirc, there's "no" block size/limit.
Wrong, what they have is dynamic block size. It also has minimum and maximum allowed block size limit. |

I am very curious, why are you testing tools and some bots on the live version of the forum? Here is nothing spectacular that you cannot test on a demo platform. SMF 1.1.19 script is still available for download on the Internet. find a free server or even install it on your computer and test whatever you want. shouldn't your posts contain some warning that it is testing and that it is not considered serious, because it will most likely be deleted? Although theymos perform some modification on SMF 1.1.19, i agree you could self-host SFM to test your script. At very least, you could use different account and choose Off-topic/Archival board for testing. I've seen some people test their bot, script or BBcode there. |

zzzz still down  Maybe someone should create a clone until the real thing comes back? I will try creating one next week(if it isn't back by then), at least for my own personal use. I really miss the live price indicator on a chrome tab  There's no need to reinvent the wheel, there are many alternatives which already mentioned. There are even open source one such as https://github.com/handsomelatino/btc2fiat. I'm curious, though, is there any way to contact the owner of the website?
Let's see, 1. From archived preev.com page[1], i couldn't find any contact info (such as email address). 2. Looking at it's whois information[2], it only show contact info of domain services. 3. His account on Bitcointalk[3] was last accessed on 2015. Looks like there's no way to contact the owner. How much would it cost to run such a simple page?
For simple page like preev, $5/month VPS should enough. But good domain name could be expensive. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20220621203650/preev.com[2] https://who.is/whois/preev.com[3] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=20586 |

I appreciate the contributions of alternative options, but the convenience of typing a short URL (preev.com) to reach a very effective service to convert BTC value to Fiat currencies...has been one of the advantages of using this site.  It also provided good source data from very large trading platforms to get a very accurate value for the Bitcoin price. Preev.com is a no nonsense service with all the basic features that you want. (No unnecessary bells and whistles and clutter)  How about https://btc2fiat.me/? It should meet most of your criteria. There's also discussion about that website at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5395520.0. Alternatively just bookmark one of website about bitcoin price on your browser. |

I'm talking about Easy2Boot (E2B). This is a software that can turn easily an USB stick into a bootable "swiss knife".
Interesting. Till now I have always used Rufus to create bootable USBs, but it only works on Windows and there is no Linux version (there is a severe issue when running with WINE where the USBs cannot be detected and thus makes the tool useless). And UNetBootin sometimes fails to make a USB that can actually boot an iso. It's not surprising since their FAQ mention Rufus rely on Windows API[1] which might not exist when you use WINE. Yes, this has ended my frustrations with Rufus, Unetbootin, Etcher or Universal USB installer. Depending on what I wanted to write, I had to use different tool, and even the recommended tool had plenty of times it didn't work as expected.
At least for Etcher, it might be because it require the ISO file already configured to be bootable[2]. I only use Etcher when official guide for certain OS said so. [1] https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/wiki/FAQ#do-you-plan-to-port-rufus-to-linuxmac-ossome-other-os[2] https://www.balena.io/etcher/ |

I found my lost seed and recovered my electrum wallet; only to find that wallet had been emptied. 10.78134 BTC gone, now 0.
What exactly do you mean by "now 0"? Does electrum show transaction where 10.78134 BTC is stolen/moved away? Does electrum show empty wallet? If it shows empty wallet, it's possible you entered wrong seed. How did someone successfully hack my account.
FYI, Bitcoin protocol and Electrum doesn't have "account" system. There's no authority which can reverse the transaction or have log who accessed your wallet. A lost wallet? How did you know that you successfully brute force the seed phrase? Likely the seed phrase may not be correct.
What makes you think OP brute force his seed phrase? All he said is "I found my lost seed and ...". |

Few thought and question,
1. I see few API has wallet_password parameter and i couldn't find anything about HTTPS/secure connection. Is it right to assume developer must setup HTTPS by themselves (e.g. by using reverse proxy)?
2. Does the software open/load all wallets all the time?
3. Mentioning exact/tested version of Python library used would be great. Who knows if the library suddenly change their API.

It feels weird to me that they are exploring about customers and looking at demand,,, when a company these days wants to go into mining, there are no customers right? There are just investors.
Who do you mean by customer? Would you classify owner of warehouse (which used to host ASIC, GPU, etc.) as customer or investor? Even though very few of the cloud mining platforms were legitimate, majority of them were scam and i believe this is one of the reasons why no body talks about cloud mining anymore.
And the legitimate one usually not very profitable or has some expensive fee (e.g. withdraw fee). |

how to remove the msg "skipping -wallet path that does not exist"? i created and removed the folder of the new wallet, i want to remove this message at the strat of bitcoin core
How do you run Bitcoin Core? If you use shortcut, command or script which include -wallet=<path> as Bitcoin Core parameter, you can just remove it. $ ./bitcoin-qt
$ ./bitcoin-qt -wallet=/home/user/wallet.dat
Warning: Skipping -wallet path that doesn't exist. Failed to load database path '/home/user/wallet.dat'. Path does not exist.

I wonder if this can be determined or at least estimated somehow.
I doubt it. Bitcoin node have very few behavior which could be fingerprinted. For example, pruned node on Bitcoin Core only serve latest 288 blocks to prevent fingerprint even if they store far more block. If there is no good way to accurately answer this question, what do people in the forum think?
I can't even make a guess when it's also possible to use both IPv4/IPv6 and Tor. |

That is if the miners don't start refusing the block rewards (some block rewards were lost like that in the past).
Rather than refuse, what actually happened they use bugged software which doesn't claim block reward, tx fee or both. |

Looks like @newalias is online today, so i expect he'll respond to this thread soon either because he check Meta board or found out he has 2 new feedback and check reference link. Duh. Why does theymos even allow this? It's part of SFM 1.x feature[1], so IMO it's either theymos don't bother remove it or it can't be removed without lots of work.

Answer to question 9 and 21 clearly show Wasabi 2 isn't ready for release. --snip--
Users are able to choose which coordinator they want to communicate with but unfortunately there are not many options, as running one has its risks and not many people are willing to do it.
Most users aren't even aware they can choose different coordinator, unless they're advance user who open Wasabi wallet configuration file. Answer: Chainalysis! = chain analysis. Let’s say we have 200 inputs wanting to register for a coinjoin. We take those and 200 other random bech32 UTXO’s that we send to their API. We get back a response where they let us know if any of these UTXOs match any of the categories and criterias zkSNACKs has set. Those addresses that we accept will proceed to the input registration, those that are blacklisted will get a notification that this UTXO is blacklisted. As a reminder, Wasabi coinjoin is built in a way that the user never loses control of their coins. The coordinator is never custodying users’ money, therefore it can not seize them etc. The querying process doesn’t affect users' privacy.
1. Adding 200 other random Bech32 UTXO is pointless when they can just see Wasabi CoinJoin transaction on blockchain later. 2. If certain UTXO doesn't meet zkSNACKs criteria, that means owner of the API know owner of that UTXO attempt to use CoinJoin at specific date/time. 3. We need to trust about how the blacklist works. |

The Irony   It's worse when you see their second statement. I'm not sure whether they imply that geolocation (and other personal data) is treated as public data or not part of "Coinbase user data".  Source: https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1542605323382337537Amazing that people still buy this nonsense and trust Coinbase with a single satoshi.
It's more likely many of Coinbase customer never research about service they use rather than blindly trust Coinbase. |

I was thinking the private keys could be encoded in an encoding language to make them slightly extra secure incase any thief has no idea what he's doing.
I think what actually you're looking for is Obfuscation[1]. But generally it's not recommended due to risk of forget or unable to extract the data. I would love to just be able to store my holy wallet.dat file away for many years and be able to re-gain access to my wallet using this file, primarily through other wallets too if Bitcoin Core wallet seizes to exist by then.
That should never happen considering that bitcoin core is the reference implementation of Bitcoin. But it is open source and many people are using it, so it would be trivial to write a simple script that decrypts and extracts the keys inside the wallet file to be used elsewhere. Additionally you could also, 1. Backup Bitcoin Core. 2. Rely on public archive such as https://archive.org/details/software. 2. Ask someone else who have such file, since many enthusiast run Bitcoin Core. |
