I don't have a search feature, but I can do "grep -i <string> *" locally.

In my book, 0.1% per day is huge! If they keep this up for a while, especially with the oncoming halving, the scarcity will be felt. And once the scarcity is felt, prices must go up.
Unless of course those ETF guys are going fractional reserve Bitcoin, but that would be Madoff level and I don't think they're willing to take that risk.

Even better, he's banned.

That worked!

I used to make free transactions, as long as one of the inputs aged long enough to reach "medium priority" in Bitcoin Core, and the total transaction was less than 1000 bytes. Those were the days, but unfortunately those days are long gone. The "input age" was removed as a consideration. That's too bad, because giving priority to aged inputs could actually be a good way to separate real transactions from spammers.

I'd need a list (and definition) of "active users" for that. And since many of them are bounty spammers, I don't expect the resulting percentage to be very interesting anyway.

Of course, that's how this started:

Could this be because of the way the price is determined?
Coinmarketcap shows the 24h trading volume for Bitcoin/Monero on those echanges is about $4M. The eXch volume on this pair is almost half of that. Normally, on an exchange, if demand for a coin goes up, the price shifts to match supply and demand. Since eXch doesn't influence the price pair, that doesn't happen.

As much as I like Bitcoin, I can't deny that current transaction fees and on-chain limitations are bad. Bitcoin can't grow without more users, which it can't handle because all blocks are full. My first Bitcoin experience was a good one back in 2015: I could make many transactions at a very low fee, which gave me a good feeling of how Bitcoin works. You can't do that now without paying a small fortune in transaction fees. And even if it's "just" a few bucks per transaction, that's too much just to try it out.

Litecoin still has low transaction fees. For $0.01, you can make about 50 transactions. The good thing is that Litecoin works about the same as Bitcoin.

Judging by your screenshot, the wallet is "Up to date.", which means it's connected. Click Window > Peers to confirm it's connected.
Maybe you're just not used to seeing the real interface without IBD You can create a wallet now.

The feedback he sent me, you and nutildah looks like a confession:

That was to be expected. Chatbot-spam gets harder and harder to detect (and prove), and if Mods don't ban them on the spot for plagiarism, there is no limit to the amount of verbal diarrhea they can create.

First: you are (of course) correct. But if Blockchair shows "Senders" and "Recipients", I think the phrase "sending address" is less confusing to someone who's new to Bitcoin than "UTXO". And I'm so used to this, that I didn't even think about it being technically incorrect.

The same applies to many other taxes: tax payers are responsible for reporting the correct amounts. If you don't, government can fine or imprison you. The level of tax evasion varies per country, Italy holds the record in EU. That makes me think it's much more socially accepted in Italy, but I have no idea what consequences there are for tax evaders after they get caught.

I guess you don't know Dutch houses: they have large windows, are built close together and don't have much distance from the sidewalk.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

I'm having a drink to o_e_l_e_o tonight.

Even if you'd show proof of funds, you'd be buying Merit, which will only get you red tagged.

You still have your sense of humor, that's good What else can you do than try to see the bright side.

Yes.

Damn, this sucks
Spending time with loved ones is indeed the most important thing for your remaining time on earth. You made a lasting impression on Bitcointalk.

Farewell.

The same thought crossed my mind. But not taking this seriously wouldn't be fair either. Real life can be unimaginably tough

May I ask why "they" donated that many dust transactions? Were those different people or was it one person?

Are those 30 wallets yours, or do the funds come from other people? If the wallets are yours, you could import all keys into one (offline) wallet instead of sending them, and then create one large transaction to create one new input.

Also note that consolidating 30 different wallets is bad for privacy.
