I cannot find my seed anywhere. I found two but they were different wallets.
Could it be a different derivation path was used?

It could be a bit easier considering it's my own password and I could supply a list of words that are probably in there but I don't have any experience of this.

If anyone can help me get the password I'll gladly send you 50 euro in btc. It's not much but it's something.
You could contact Dave from https://walletrecoveryservices.com/, I've never used his service, but from what I've seen, he's helped many people in similar situations.

Worst case scenario there are password hackers who can help, @LoyceV might be able to help you.
I have no experience doing this, but I've seen "btcrecover" memtioned many times. Just to be sure: make sure to run it offline on a backup only.

I think it should be the version of posts within 15 minutes (if I am remembering correctly) after published. It will be more matched with forum data. Only posts edited after 15 minutes will be shown with editing history and last editing time.
Posts can be edited for 10 minutes without showing (or even keeping!) an edit history. But I'm not aiming to match the forum, I'm aiming to show the unedited post. And I can only download posts from recent when they're new, searching for posts that are 10 minutes old will be more work.

I believe every wallet, lightning or not, should let you decide which fee to use.i would use 1 sat byte to close the channel, and waiting 5 days would be ok to me.
I'm no expert on LN, but isn't there a risk of broadcasting an older channel state (by the other party) if the closing transaction doesn't confirm on time? From what I understand, you can't just wait for a very long time if Bitcoin on-chain fees go up.
18085  Other / Meta / Re: Users that you should merit on: August 01, 2019, 01:47:35 PM
I know. Unfortunately I don't have a way to track unbans. So threat the "Ban" note as "Had been permanently banned at some point".
As I know, LoyceV has his technical steps to do this. You can ask him for help. If I am remember correctly, LoyceV use the trick to follow when a permanent banned user come back to post.
Correct. When a user posts again, I remove him from my list of banned users (see details).

@suchmoon: if you use the daily update from [ LIST] Banned users, you've covered most unbans already.
18086  Economy / Reputation / Re: Viewing unedited posts and deleted posts on: August 01, 2019, 01:39:26 PM
you're saving the first version of every post made by everybody, ever?
Correct.

Update.

I wouldn't trust any third party with sensitive info like private keys, or "redeem codes" that give access to funds (such as prypto).
These informations have to be on the scratch card in some way.
This works both ways: if the customer claims the funds were taken already when he scratched the cards, the company can't prove the customer himself did it. And the company would have to trust his employees, it could end up being an employee's word against a customer's word, without either one of them being able to prove anything. That won't work, unfortunately Sad

If you want to sell these at gas stations, how do you figure out the price of the crypto scratch card in fiat ($$$) ?
Again: good question, and again: I can't answer it Tongue
It could be based on the Bitcoin price at the moment it's bought. Or pay in Bitcoin, that solves it Cheesy



"Scratch off stickers" are commercially available at low cost, but I'm not sure how easy they would be to replace to sell a worthless ticket as unused.
18088  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Collection of 18.509 found and used Brainwallets on: August 01, 2019, 10:58:45 AM
Brainwallets were the worst idea from the beginning
There are 2 problems:
1. Anyone can search all existing brainwallets at the same time
2. It doesn't require much CPU-power to test a password

Without promoting brainwallets, I could think of several solutions:
1. If you add something unique to you to a brainwallet, it's  much less likely to be found. Say I would add LoyceValenzuela to this:
"weadmittedwewerepowerlessoveralcoholthatourliveshadbecomeunmanageable"
That would make:
weadmittedwewerepowerlessoveralcoholthatourliveshadbecomeunmanageableLoyceValen zuela and instantly adds many more possibilities to the search space than "just" searching all available digital text on the planet. Or add your phone number.
It's not perfect, but it makes it several orders of magnitude less likely to be brute-forced.

2. The protocol should use CPU-intensive encryption like BIP38 uses. That reduces the number of tries per second from billions to dozens.
18089  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [IDEA] Physical Bitcoin Lotto Scratch Cards on: August 01, 2019, 10:38:49 AM
I think 0.002 BTC production cost is far too high for this to really take off. That's okay for a collectible, but too much for a Lotto to really take off.

This website that I randomly picked from Google offers "US $ 0.03-0.1 / Piece" for 500 pieces or more.

our production costs are very hardly compressible.
Maybe some day a big Lotto company will start making those for Bitcoin. I'm thinking of a $2 scratch card that you buy at a gas station with a chance to win $75000. That's obviously only possible with very large numbers and very cheap production.
18090  Other / Meta / Re: How do you actually find messages that were deleted? on: August 01, 2019, 09:43:19 AM
What if a user plagiarised, then hours or days later, he/she realize his/her fault, then edit original post with source link, or delete that post
- Will that account be permanently banned?
I meant that user fixes his/her fault before being reported.
Mods already use their own judgement on a case-by-case basis. If someone accidentally failed at quoting and corrects it on his own, I don't think that warrants a ban.
18091  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [IDEA] Physical Bitcoin Lotto Scratch Cards on: August 01, 2019, 09:12:22 AM
What would be the total prize pool ?
How many cards in the first run ?
What would be the #1 prize ?
These are all good questions, but I can't answer any of them. It will depend on how many people are interested, printing cost per ticket, and the "house edge" (if there is any).
With 10 tickets, there's not much to win. With a million tickets, there could be a $100,000 prize (say 10 BTC) and many smaller prizes. Somewhere in between is probably a realistic number.

There's a "risk" though: if lottery addresses are public, blockchain analysis can reveal whether or not a large prize has been redeemed or not, which can influence the value of the remaining tickets.
18092  Other / Meta / Re: Merit & new rank requirements on: August 01, 2019, 08:01:28 AM
There seems to be 2 schools of thought regarding this.

One is what you're saying, and indeed I would rather give a merit to someone who is still trying to rank up than a Legendary. However, I do give out more merits to Legendaries than I should, simply because I tend to interact with them more, as the crowd I roll with.

The other is that Legendaries get more merits than they should simply because they are Legendaries... As I type that I realize it doesn't make much sense, but that's what some people truly believe.
I think it depends if the Merit sender is short on Merit or not. If you're not a Merit source, I can imagine you prefer to send the few sMerit to a user who "needs" it (as long as their posts are good). But if you're loaded in sMerit and have a hard time trying to use them all, you can just as well send them to Legendary users too.

However, since I've received Merit from 413 unique users, and I had a Legendary rank already when Merit was introduced, it's safe to say many users Merit higher ranks too.

iasenko, Initscri, LoyceV - I'll be updating this post with fixes/changes soon.  I'm not ignoring you.  Smiley
No rush, I know it's easier/faster to make requests than actually implement them Smiley

LoyceV has a back up though.

18095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [JULY 2019] Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: August 01, 2019, 07:28:58 AM
@gentlemand, that $500 million spike looks really weird (around 1/1/18)... Must have been when a lot of people pulled out as their money hasn't returned to this market yet (since we aren't at $20k).
It's more likely it was caused by the very high fees at that time, 800 sat/byte was "normal", resulting in $25 or more in fees for a small transaction, and many thousands of dollars for a transaction with a lot of inputs and outputs.
18096  Other / Meta / Re: why are more posts deleted in this few days? on: July 24, 2019, 03:43:44 AM
If you think that those 20 posts deleted were of quality
TIDOVEE has 1188 (remaining) posts, and 0 Merit. I checked the last 4 pages in his post history, and all his posts are the same length (with maybe 10% difference). They're long enough to meet his signature requirements, but the generic content doesn't help anyone.

the rate at which posts are deleted in few days is becoming scary and alarming
So, what are you going to change in your posting behaviour to stop this?

I had a post deleted yesterday, because I responded to an off-topic post with a warning. I don't mind, as the post that needed a warning got deleted too.
18097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Need help with 24 word mnemonic on: July 23, 2019, 07:00:33 PM
It appears the two of you had similar thoughts and Bob123 beat you.
Exactly. I've seen good posts from both bob123 and from keychainX, so let's put this to rest:

bob123's post:
http://loyce.club/archive/posts/5192/51921167.html
keychainX' post:
http://loyce.club/archive/posts/5192/51921235.html

I scraped both within seconds of being posted, so this is the unedited version.

I realize this post is off-topic and I'm totally fine with it being deleted. It just doesn't feel right to "fight" over the fact that 2 users had the same good post, and only the first post was needed as an answer for OP.

Considering they wanted to open it last year already, it's actually quite sad to see they've only reached a testing phase now.
