1741  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: wBTC and BTC on: July 14, 2023, 04:01:40 PM
I have a question, I noticed that the wBTC moves in lockstep with the price of bitcoin, that is, if the price of bitcoin is $20.000, the price of wBTC is also $20.000, is there any possibility of a price difference?
Sure there is price difference sometimes and it can happen again in future, maybe in more drastic way when wBTC goes to zero on shitcoin chains.
Any token claiming to be better bitcoin with cheaper fees is not really Bitcoin, and all this tokens are on centralized chains operated and controlled only by few people.
There are already several lists of dead shitcoins and some of them were stable coins or fake bitcoins.
Stay away from wbtc and similar tokens.

I could say the same thing as I never once mentioned that DEXs provided the ability to sell crypto for fiat. No dex does, because it can't be a DEX otherwise.
This is not true!
All decentralized exchanges I mentioned all have real volume, not like your ''top gun'' exchanges  Cheesy

The wrapped assets are not garbage if they're entirely liquid and made liquid in a decentralized manner.
They are all centralized garbage, and please STOP promoting shitcoin and shitcoin services in this forum section.
All tokens claiming to be Bitcoin are NOT bitcoin, that is a fact, but go ahead and use them if you want.

If you want to sell for fiat, use P2P. If you're still using CEXs for withdrawing, you're a pleb.
No, use your shitcoin exchanges for selling, you said they work with fiat, so use them if you can... don't mix P2P exchanges here.

If you honestly think all layer2/EVM ecosystems are controlled by few people and the protocols within them are fake, you are the one in the bubble. There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of contributors who are building web3 via EVMs.
Hahaha what a bunch of fantasy dreams.
Try running a node on those shitcoins, it's almost impossible to do it for regular person and I don't know a single person who runs shitereum and polyscam nodes.

Yes, I agree, no due diligence = likelihood of scam. Is that not the case in Bitcoin too?
No it's not.

@dkbit98 ova nova Black Mirror sezona mi bas i nije nesto. Opcenito su mi prve dvije sezone bile odlicne (dok su ih jos radili britanci), a kvaliteta je imho pala nakon sto je seriju otkupio Netflix te krenuo sa stancanjem.
Mislim da je jedna epizoda u novoj sezoni meni bila dobra, a sve ostale se brzo zaboravljaju.
Ako želiš da ti um eksplodra onda pogledaj ovaj dokumentarac do kraja, ali gledaj ga otvorenog uma i bez predrasuda ako možeš.
Gledao sam i novi Transformers film, ali nije ništa posebno i ne preporučujem ga.
1744  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I think it's time to leave Binance, any alternatives? on: July 13, 2023, 08:21:43 AM
LOL. Majority of the DEXs only support top 50 currencies, some just the top 10. If you're referring to wrapped tokens are shitcoins, they're completely liquid and bridgeable with no slippage from the layer 2 chain, to ethereum or even the Bitclin blockchain.
Either you can't read what I wrote or you are pretending you don't understand.
I am not interested in any wrap shit and I was talking mostly about fiat currencies.
Liquidity for most shitcoins is fake and everyone knows that, well maybe except you.

As for fiat on ramps, some of the DEXs do have card gateways because they are established technology companies. Obviously you're just being one sided with your outdated opinion and haven't actually looked into Arbitrum and how powerful it actually is...and, how liquid it is.
Go ahead and try to sell Bitcoin for fiat currencies on those ''top'' shitcoin exchanges, and tell me how it goes for you.
Good luck.

You may have been right to call WBTC and other tokens shitcoins 3 years ago when they first came about' however the liquidity of Arbitrum and the wrapped tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem are as liquid, if not more liquid, than some of the centralized exchanges that people still use.
It's all semi-scam shitcoins controlled by creator of that centralized chains, and few of his buddies.
This is a fact, sorry for bursting your dream bubble, and do more research about this.
1745  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I just completed my first totally air-gapped transaction... on: July 12, 2023, 08:07:58 PM
Are you proud of me?
Airgapped wallets are great but Coldcard is not the best option in the market today, and devices with camera plus qr codes are much better in my opinion.
This is Passport, Keystone, Jade and some DIY devices anyone can make at home (SeedSigner, Krux, etc).
There are also few closed source wallet options that are airgapped  but I am not going to recommend that to anyone.

If you are interested in topic of AirGapped wallets you can join the conversation here in one of my topics:

1746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My First Wallet. on: July 12, 2023, 07:54:33 PM
Although this wallet is not only focused on bitcoin because there are some features that I will not use and of course there are some disadvantages but I will use this wallet for storing my bitcoin assets at this time. But I will probably only use this for a while because I still want something else for my Hardware Wallet.
Sorry for saying this and I don't want to ruin your fun, but Safepal hardware wallet is probably one of the worst hardware wallets you could buy at the moment.
Safepal is closed source black box from China, they stole and altered and violated original source code, and they are doing the same thing like ledger walelt with restore feature, but it's even worse because they are storing it in cloud  Tongue
I wouldn't consider this to be safe device for anything and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially when there are much better Open Source alternatives.

Quote
In our coming update, we will support the iCloud/GoogleDrive key backup mechanism. If users lose their seed phrase, they can recover the wallet via their cloud-end back-ups.

Arbitrum have a directory of Dex's on their website. I recommend you go check it out, give them a try and report back your results so others can take note of this alternative.
This is only available for shitcoins and they don't support fiat currencies, so this is more or less all worthless crap.

It looks like Binance is currently pushing Source of Wealth Declarations in several European countries.
I am not supporting Binance at all, but I don't think they are the first exchange who is doing this, so they are probably pushed by some regulations from those European countries.
This is unacceptable for anyone who want's to have more privacy, but I guess they wouldn't be on Binance after they announced strict kyc rules.
Luckily there are solid decentralized alternatives like Bisq, Peach Bitcoin, Robosats, Agora desk, etc. for exchanging Bitcoin to fiat and vice versa.
1748  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance existing Deposit Addresses to Be Retired in Q3 (July - September 2023) on: July 12, 2023, 07:24:13 PM
What is the main aim and benefit of changing users deposit address?
Is it for more security of the users fund or to prevent the address from being compromised?
I think Binance announced full support for Taproot address and Lightning Network support so that could be one of the reasons.
They still have old format Legacy addresses and they probably want to save on fees more with segwit and taproot, but regulations are also not excluded after they got banned in several countries.

Uskoro stižu neke novine u Whirlwind.money kampanju, biže nekih izbačenih i nekih ubačenih membera, i jedan payrate za sve.
Mislim da je od naših članova sad tu samo Rikafip, ali stvari mogu biti drugačije za nekoliko dana.

We're going to make some pretty big changes to this campaign this week which will come into effect next week. I can't share all the details just yet but in short we'll remove the rank segments and just have one payrate across the board. Big changes to the current members will also take place but I will let you all know about it before next Tuesday. Hopefully these changes will have a positive impact overall and if you'll be one of the users who gets removed/replaced it's not anything personal, you've all been great during these 15 weeks!

@FatFork ažuriraj OP prvi post.  Cool
1751  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Atomic DEX discussion on: July 11, 2023, 08:53:12 PM
Anybody knows? Is it the "standard" SPV model where the client queries address balances and transactions from a server (e.g. using Bloom filters or the Electrum protocol), or is it some more modern stuff like BIP-157?
There is nothing modern with AtomicDEX wallet  Smiley
I think they used old legacy address format for Bitcoin (starting with 1) until recently, but if I remember correctly that was some some limitation of atomic swaps for bitcoin.... now AtomicDEX added segwit support.
One good thing about this wallet/exchange is the fact they are updating it on semi-regular basis (last update was two weeks ago), so maybe you could ask them on github or on their social media, discord, telegram, etc.
1752  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: How to check I have the seeds of my multisig 2/3 on: July 11, 2023, 08:37:21 PM
Is there any other solution to check I own the correct seeds ?
Word of advice, whenever you are creating bitcoin wallet, either regular or multisig, you should ALWAYS check if your seed phrase backup work, only after this you can consider your setup safe.
First write seed words on paper, than erase wallet or reset device/s, and than import seed words from scratch.
Only if everything works good you should accept coins on addresses generated by this wallet.

1753  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: OWNR Wallet! Buy, exchange and store crypto. Order Visa prepaid card! on: July 11, 2023, 08:20:16 PM
No KYC. You don’t need to provide any information except for your phone number and email address.
An easy way to withdraw your crypto. Choose crypto and send it to the specified address.
Not 1, not even 2, but 5 cards can be ordered per month for every user.
Instant email-delivery. The card will be delivered to the specified email address.
Is this VISA, Master Card or we can choose whatever card we want?

I want to see if there are any limitations for using this cards on some websites, and comparison with similar cards would be nice to have.
Problem I see with gift cards like this is that sometimes transaction get's denied or card get's block for using on some websites.
Cards from different providers I saw are in USD, so it's nice to see OWNR offering cards with EUR, so people don't have to pay extra fees when purchasing something from Europe.
1754  Economy / Reputation / Re: Timelord2067 is a malicious liar and a deranged troll on: July 11, 2023, 07:44:14 PM
IMO he already had enough people ~ him and remove him from DT, there is really no reason for the whole forum to ~ him. He had his ego deflated, now he has to decide whether he wants to reconsider his ways and change or if he wants to continue and face more exclusions. Just my opinion, but if we exile someone we are just taking more people away from bitcoin. He is not a bounty hunter here only for the money.
Nobody is going to exile him anywhere, he is still active in forum and he is doing his thing.
I don't expect to agree with everyone here, but if one member have issues with many other members than we have a repeating pattern, and people should be aware of that.
Maybe some people have no intention to change and they like their eco chamber.

Anyway, I can understand how 1miau got into this, and how annoying that sort of deluded trollshittery can be.
Most long term members know the history of T2067 and profile feedback is always there to remind them about it Wink

Maybe he starts realizing that his current approach to DT isn't appreciated by the community. Most likely, it's my personal wishful thinking but even trolls can improve.  Smiley
I don't know about him but I left DT1 myself and cleaned my list because I think it needs serious reform.
Maybe I will return once I see someone actually doing something new to improve things, but until then I am staying out of that theater show  Cool

I tried accessing the forum using Opera browser and that's the message I got. It looks like Cloudflare went out on a blocking spree
Did you use Opera browser with or without built-in free VPN feature?
It could be that many users are using same shared IP address that got banned by cloudflare system.

Everything works fine on my end today and I tested how browsing forum works with different browsers, all went fine for now.

1756  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Railgun Privacy wallet - Zero Knowledge Proof secured - Railway on: July 11, 2023, 07:16:23 PM
Surprised there's no mention of this in the forum.
Maybe because Railgun wallet is not open source (correct me if I am wrong) and who knows what kind of mumbo jumbo is hidden inside the code.
Another reason is that it is not supporting Bitcoin mainnet, and random shitcoin chains and apps can never have enough liquidity and transactions to make something really private.
I tried opening wallet and redirected me to some .xyz domain that looks like scam, and new page gave me 403 forbidden error.
If someone is going to use any altcoin for privacy transaction they would just use monero instead of this hocus pocus stuff.
1757  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Keystone 3 HW coming soon! on: July 10, 2023, 10:07:39 PM
Keystone 3 HW with OKX partnership after some days of OKX new KYC restrictions. I hope it will be something useful.
I hope they won't go the ledger route, and try to mess around with Recovery features and direct connection with exchanges that could reduce privacy.
Partnership could mean that OKX will offer co-branded Keystone devices, and last information I got is that Keystone will offer co-branding for their new device (like other hardware wallets are doing already).

The large size comes from the battery and some parts such as the camera and SD card port, so it looks like smart phone.
Maybe it looks like a smartphone from a far, but when you take it in hands you will notice much smaller size.

I expected to see the Cyberpunk version of the wallet that CEO Lixin promised to release in 2022 - 2023. This version was intended for advanced users who will be able to independently compile the firmware from open source and install it on the wallet.
Perhaps this version will be released as a variant of Keystone 3 if they haven't changed their plans.
Oh they changed plans many times since then Smiley
Last thing I heard is that Keystone 3 will be used for Bitcoin and shitcoins, and they will create different model of hardware wallet only for Bitcoin support.

I really don't understand why you spend so much time communicating with him with messages, when there is report and ignore options available.

Last I checked, he was off DT. He was removed at the beginning of June. If you want to ~ him that's fine, but do you really need to pour more salt into the wound?
I am not sure who poured salt into wound in this case, but 1miau is not the first member who noticed weird behavior from him.
Maybe it would be better for one of them to be smarter and stop PM conversation early before things escalated more, but it's to late now.
Voting results are somehow interesting...



1760  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should we hand out neutral/neg tags like candy?(open but might be future edits) on: July 10, 2023, 09:03:38 PM
Neutral feedback can have many interpretations, but it remains neutral and nobody should care so much about it, however I remember some members begging others to remove it, so maybe campaign managers pay attention to it.
In most cases I see nothing wrong with people adding Neutral tag and this doesn't need to have any links or proof, but some people switched from giving easy negative ''candies'' to neutral, to avoid criticism from DT members.
Instead of using Neutral feedback for making notes on other members, now we have BitcoinTalk User Notes script made by TryNinja, and it can be used with Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey and similar alternatives:
