It's worth mentioning kabayan na none of these things would've happened kung hindi nagreklamo ang Infrawatch PH ^{[on multiple occasions]} sa BSP at SEC.

They tried their best to register sa ating bansa... They even tried acquiring a firm with VASP & EMI licenses, pero hulaan mo kung sino ulit ang nagreklamo? Infrawatch PH.

I find it hard to believe that any developer would need this many coins to launch a new product, but there's always the option of utilizing the "Bitcoin testnet box" or "Regtest".

And these kinds of threads will be the main reason behind another reset ^[SMH]!

I don't want to raise any false hopes, but the following platforms could help with tracking and intercepting their activities ^{[with the help of exchanges]}:
^{- If you were dealing with Bitcoin, you could've had more recovery services at your disposal (don't expect to have a high success rate, but it's better than nothing).}

• AMLBot's Crypto Recovery
• Crystal Investigative Services
• CipherBlade's Stolen Cryptocurrency Recovery

Note: I prefer not to vouch, so please DYOR!

Found two more clones:

• m.bitmartjs.com
• m.bitmartuk.com

I quickly went through some of the threads on the "SMF forum" and it appears that it could be one of the following things:

• The database requires a repair or an upgrade; apparently, it has something to do with the number of queries in a certain period.
• Recurrent issues with some of the mods on SMF-based forums.

It's worth mentioning that earlier in the month, someone else "created a thread" about the second error and it seems to coincide with when our forum goes down or is partially up.

Nakapag register ka ba kabayan? Sa akin kasi naglo-load yung registration page, pero hindi gumagana yung registration button.

Considering na sensitive subject ito, sa tingin ko mas maganda kung hindi mo nalang i-associate ang platform mo sa ganitong uri ng pagkakakitaan!

Libre ba or may bayad ^{[e.g. one time payment or monthly fee]}?

I hope hindi ibig sabihin nito na pwede din sila mag benta ng mga illegal na droga!

It's worth mentioning that Keterion isn't the only platform that charges nothing for internal transfers!

I hope I'm wrong, but it appears that your definition of privacy is way different from the rest of the community:

I don't want to be too negative, but this is the first time I've seen any platform that has labeled having a customer support system as a key feature ^{[offering such things should be the bare minimum]}.

I wanted to test it, but it appears that the hosting plan you're currently using isn't even enough for a single user to test the browser game in question fully!
^{- It took me around three minutes to go from the sign-up page to the dashboard and as soon as I visited a few pages, it led to the following error: Screenshot}

I'm sure kayang kaya nila magdagdag ng iba pang mga cryptocurrencies tulad ng Bitcoin, pero considering na malaki ang natulong ng mga BCH-based crowdfunding platforms sa app nila, I highly doubt idadagdag nila ito in the future ^{[unfortunately]} at a few months back, nagrelease sila ng "isang video" na kung saan ipinapakita nito kung bakit BCH yung napili nila.

Naranasan ko na ito kabayan pero hindi direct investment... Pinag-aralan naming mabuti ng kaibigan ko kung magandang investsment ba ang mga ASIC miners, so sa bandang huli naencourage ko sya na mag invest sa ganitong paraan, pero as soon as dumating yung mga ASIC miner niya sa bansa, nagkaroon ng ibat-ibang issues ^{[e.g. license, confiscation at etc...]} so nagkaroon ng malaking gap bago siya nakapag simula sa pag mamine at sa oras na iyon halos wala ng profit ang mining operations niya, kaya after a few months, binenta niya lahat at a small loss.

@Crypto Panter
I need some clarification, so I hope you can help me better understand if there's any significant difference between Bithority's rental services and other established hash rate rental services.

In connection with issues surrounding the centralization of mining, it's worth noting that we already have a few products specifically made for home miners who have smaller budgets ^{[production of such rigs appears to be on the rise]}.

You can also count me in to test this browser game, but I noticed you mentioned about two different reward systems ^{["in-game coin and gold"]} so I'm wondering if it means at some point this would become a pay-to-earn browser game?

Regarding the cash-out process at this stage, is it going to be on the mainnet or the testnet?

If you were referring to generating various types of addresses within a wallet, I agree, but it's worth mentioning that importing the private keys of these addresses while specifying their script types could also count as some kind of support for the above thing.

You have a point, but perhaps the developers wanted to separate the less-secured ones from the rest.

Good thing that you mentioned this... I'm quite disappointed to see some Android wallets seem to have no protection against taking screenshots on their seed creation pages!

To some extent, yes, but not for that reason

If you were referring to the content of their homepage, then perhaps it has something to do with the first bullet point in their "Notes" section:
^{- IIRC, the server code had something to do with one of the keys, so I guess that counts as not being fully open-source!}

• Quote from: https://github.com/proto-at-block/bitkey?tab=readme-ov-file#notes
  This document (including Software and schematics) is current as of 2024-02-22. Our goal is to make sure the code we publish is up to date with what is available in the App Store. We may publish other items on a less real time basis (e.g. server code and schematics) and so what is published may not always map to what is in production or design.

Am I correct in assuming that you were referring to the Android version of Electrum ^{[the latter has both of these bump fee features on its desktop version]}?
^{- I find it strange that users don't get the same set of features on all of the platforms!}

@Forsyth Jones

• For Electrum, I'd add Taproot support ^{[for some reason, they hate it when someone asks them about it]}, custom entropy and spaced address displays.
• For Stack Wallet, I'd add PSBTs, RBF, CPFP, custom entropy, Taproot, and spaced addresses.
  ^{- I hope they'll improve its custom node implementation (last time I checked, it was quite buggy).}

Indeed it is, but CMC was also part of the other halving countdowns that I checked yesterday and I just double-checked ^{[it's still showing a different countdown to yours]}: Screenshot
^{- Perhaps the device you're checking it from is suffering from synchronization issues.}

I love its minimalistic approach and the dark mode feature is the icing on the cake

IMO, these kind of games deserve having a dedicated thread: 1 MILLION SATS hunt
_{- I think I've found three of them so far (please don't make them harder)}

BTW, I'm curious if anyone from the Philippines has tried applying to become an official reseller...

I'm not sure if this was just a mistake or if the above inaccurate data was taken from an outdated source, but it's worth noting that all of the other halving countdowns are showing almost a week more than that.
^{- I do know it's just a rough estimate, but still...}

BTW, the following subreddits might be useful for the Reddit category:

- r/Jobs4Bitcoins

If you were referring to some of the review platforms that rated this hardware wallet as the "best" due to its so-called highest security certificate, it's important to note that this information is misleading ^{[the EAL7 is for their firmware (AFAIK, none of the other brands have requested their firmware to be graded) while their secure element has a grading of EAL5+ (it's worth noting that there are other hardware wallets with higher secure element gradings)]} and there must be a reason why after three years, they still haven't released the source code ^{[despite saying they will in numerous occasions]}!

Their target audience is only those who have invested a significant amount without having the proper knowledge of protecting their assets ^{[these are the type of people who only care about results, so they tend to throw away money for any type of protection (even if the trade-off is between convenience and privacy)]}.

• It's quite frustrating to see BitBox and some of the other known brands have chosen the route of offering solutions that rub more salt into the wound!

I completely agree with the above line ^{[If it doesn't mean sacrificing some of the necessary features]}.

Base sa mga screenshots na napost mo kanina, mukhang Mycelium ang ginagamit mo kabayan at last time I checked, wala pa itong RBF feature ^{[CPFP lang ang meron sa Mycelium]}.
^{- Usually, mas malaking fee ang binabayad natin sa CPFP dahil kailangan good enough ang Tx fee natin for two transactions (parent and child Txs).}
