I wanted to know if I could copy the blockchain data from my windows machine and use it when i set-up the full nodes on ubuntu, or would the file types be different an therefore not compatible? I think this should work, and it's definitely worth a try. If it doesn't work, nothing is lost and you'll start a fresh sync.

so far we have not heard the news that privacy coins are being used to launder money That's the dumbest thing I've read today. Of course privacy coins are being used by criminals, just like anything else in life is used by criminals. Cars, internet, delivery services, you name it, and it's used by criminals. But we're not banning cars, internet and delivery services because they also have legitimate uses. The phrase "money laundering" is often used incorrectly when it comes to mixers. The correct word would be "obfuscating", which is at most a small part of laundering. Or just for privacy which is a human right and not nefarious at all. To launder money, you'll need a car wash in Albuquerque. Which we're not banning either.

my guarda ALSO has a mnemonic phrase (12 words), whereas my partner does not. I assume this is because I initially created the wallet and my friend joined? Does that mean that mnemonic is the master key or something? Usually, the mnemonic is your backup. If your partner doesn't have one, what happens if his hard drive (or phone) breaks down? Multisig is only safe if you're absolutely sure you won't lose any of the keys.

it's because rising total UTXO which doesn't fit even on Raspberry Pi 4 8GB variant which heavily affect IBD (initial block download). I recently did an IBD on a laptop with 8 GB RAM: The dip after 7 hours may have been caused by internet congestion. During the first hours, the sync speed was limited by my internet speed. After 13-15 hours, it's clear that bandwidth is no longer the limiting factor. I'm not sure what caused the dip in progress at 35-36 hours: if I have to guess, blocks were mostly filled with Ordinals at that time. During the last hours, sync speed was limited by my SSD speed (and the lack of RAM). Because of the lack of RAM, the IBD wrote 4.58 TB to disk. So it's possible, but comes at a price.

Now, create a multisig descriptor with your and your friend's private key. The format should be like this if the 2-of-2 MultiSig address starts with "3": sh(sortedmulti(2,WIF_PrivateKey1,WIF_PrivateKey2)) This assumes OP is willing to enter both private keys on the same system. That kinda defeats the purpose of each having a separate private key.

I always felt that the forum is run professionally. I noticed OgNasty and Vod both dislike theymos, and both for different reasons.

There's a good reason why you sometimes have to take breaks from your withdrawals. The project's own limitations require this. It's unnecessary though: Binance doesn't have to keep their entire XMR balance in one UTXO. I don't know if they do it already, but if they'd keep their balance in many different UTXOs, they shouldn't be limited by waiting for confirmations.

That shittopic was locked by a moderator after I reported it (4 days ago). None of OPs BS has anything to do with Meta. Go troll somewhere else. I made the original forum for bitcoin Trolls should be banned.

"Network Busy" on Binance again. Could it be because Monero UTXOs are only spendable after 10 confirmations? With Bitcoin, you can spend your change up to 24 parents deep. With Monero, you'll have to wait each time. So if Binance has one large address for all their Monero, they can at most process a few transactions per hour.

Still good to see that LoyceV's and my portfolio, heavy on XMR, are holding up not too badly. You were saying? Here's an unexpected result: Of course, 1 random doesn't mean anything, but still, I didn't expect 95% of the picks to be better than random.

Thanks again for your flawless timing! Is it 1 or 2 weeks to 5 years party?

If you have the redeem script, you may even be able to use coinb.in (offline and air-gapped of course, running from a Linux LIVE DVD from RAM for security). I'm out of ideas, good luck

I used to use coinomi, which supports all of them However, their project seems to be abandoned since 2022. Coinomi removed BSV support a long time ago.

EDIT: Yes it's 52 characters and starts with an L. Maybe a variation of this post may work in Electrum. Or have you searched a bit on how to do this in Bitcoin Core? That may even be easier. I found some posts about it on Bitcointalk, but always found multisig annoying to deal with. I've used it, but it doesn't feel intuitive like normal private keys.

I'll create a fake one so you can see an example of the key I can see: L98km2ZaKaoXieoKK9]Hj8850jDjnEZykOwwhx092j8iL9zz This is non-standard. Is this a key created by Garda, or did you just hit the keyboard a few times? A normal private key looks like this: Bitcoin private keys
- WIF Compressed (52 characters base58, starting with "K" or "L").
Example: L41YPdADy46J9Vh77WGR2bktFwEZ6knza2Xim3Urq9CEWynkkLgn

First: I've never used "Guarda". I checked the website, all it does is ask for a password and claims to create a wallet from that. That's as insecure as it gets. I am looking for advice, ideally step-by-step, on how to "recover" or "move" the BTC inside the Guarda multi-sig wallet, to another different wallet, as we have absolutely no idea what to do or where to start I'd say start with Electrum. See if you can recover your multisig wallet there. Again, our aim is literally just to get the crypto out of the Guarda Wallet onto another one (not sure which) using the private keys Step 1 would be to decide which secure new wallet you're going to use. You'll need to know where to send your Bitcoins. We both have access to the "private key" of the wallet. Is it a private key, or a seed phrase? 1. If I am able to recover the BTC with just MY private key to the wallet, does that not defeat the purpose of the multi-signature system? As that would mean I can just import my private key and recover our shared BTC from my co-signer just by myself? A 2 of 2 multisig wallet requires signatures from 2 private keys. 2. I may have understood incorrectly, but would me and my friend have the same private key as it's a multi-signature wallet, or would they be different? And if they are different, how would we actually recover the crypto from our Guarda Wallet and put it onto another wallet? The keys should be different. Basically, one of you creates and signs a new transaction to transfer the Bitcoins, after which the other person has to verify and sign the transaction to make it valid. After that, it can be broadcasted. There's been a bug since December; where if you broadcast a transaction, the co-signer cannot see it, hence cannot sign/broadcast it, leaving your crypto in limbo. Can you manually export the transaction and email it to the co-signer, so he can import and sign it? Again, I don't know "Guarda", but this sounds like the easiest solution.

Also, people who sold yesterday may have thought that was the only exit they offer… Some of those people might be the victims here. That's the risk of leaving your coins on a centralized exchange. "Not your keys, not your coins" is nothing new.

That deserves a red tag, no? I've never trusted them, but who's there to tag? It is the xmr holders that paid for this mess. Only if they panic sold, but if they did, they weren't really holders in the first place. That's why I think this is a good thing: if Monero can drop 35% because of the actions from one untrusted exchange, someone has far too much power of it. After Binance delists Monero, that power is gone. I couldn’t totally understand why they halted the withdrawals at first and that’s why I screamed “scam” and somehow I was still right about it. I thought they had the coins but they didn’t let people withdraw. It seems they didn’t have the coins and that’s equally scammy. Imagine having the knowledge to do some insider trading with this! You'd make millions shorting Monero. My assumption is always that someone is manipulating something.

This change has caused some issues, such as identifying and reporting phishing mixer websites that use a portion of the real mixer domain name in their phishing domain name. What's the point in knowing the exact phishing domain name? Just watch out, even if it's not on a list of phishing domains, it can still be a new one. Users now have to rely on other sources than Bitcointalk to find the real sites. As a rule of thumb: if you can post the mixer's URL, chances are it's a phishing site. But being word filtered still doesn't guarantee the site is real.

What the hell is that: I guess it's to protect the exchange against speculation. If I'm not mistaken, the total balance on eXch dropped quite a lot yesterday. The fees dropped to 10%/9% already. Exchanging the other way is 5%/5.5%, and surprisingly the Dynamic rate is the highest for this trade.
