201  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pywallet 2.2: manage your wallet [Update required] on: April 18, 2021, 08:15:11 AM
Hello Jack,
is it possible to send me the 0.8 version of bitcoin? i try to find executable for windows or a way to make it but nothing.
can you please help me? thanks in advance

If you want the 0.8 version specifically, it's here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases/tag/v0.8.0

Just make sure you get all of the required dependencies right, as some of them are so old they might not be in your system's default repository. It would also probably be difficult to make this version sync with the current network. edit: or not, oldest node I found is 0.8.1 https://bitnodes.io/nodes/45.127.186.188-8333/
202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Old wallet.dat in latest core debug info help please. on: April 18, 2021, 05:38:51 AM
It would appear the old wallet.dat only had one key in it... I'm not sure if the old versions of Bitcoin Core always had a keypool of 100, or if it originally just generated keys/addresses on the fly.

It's also possible the wallet.dat was modified to delete keys... and/or it is actually a "recovered" wallet.dat from your many attempts at using PyWallet that only had 1 legacy key/address loaded in it.

Once you opened it with the latest version, it would have been loaded up with a new keypool of 1000 (which would have defaulted to the bech32 addresses) which would explain why the filesize changed.

Bitcoin Core always had a keypool of 100 until version 0.15 in late 2017 when it was increased tenfold. As far as I know, Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind also always came with a default keypool of 100.

Bardzo ciekawy wątek, wiele bardzo dobrych informacji.

Moze mozna go rozszerzyć o zagranicę?

To OPa decyzja, póki nie zedytował wątku to jest to wątek o Polsce. Myślę, że jak nie jesteś polskim rezydentem podatkowym to to co tutaj piszemy na niewiele Ci pomoże i lepsze odpowiedzi uzyskasz pytając w dziale Legal zaznaczając kraj, o który pytasz, albo zakładając odpowiedni wątek w dedykowanym dziale lokalnym.

or the 4 words could also have been a "brain wallet" used to generate the private key that was also written on the paper...

I don't think there were any brainwallets actually in use by people back then, I first heard of this term in late 2011: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51397.0;all

W sumie mniej problematyczną weryfikację byś miał weryfikując się na Binance i wysyłając do siebie przelew SEPA (EUR). Do 50k EUR dziennie chyba jest.

As far as I remember, this topic has been exhaustively discussed over the years. Most of the development was funded via money from ad slot auctions, and the high cost of remuneration for forum development (at the time, in USD terms) also had plausible explanations. But yeah it's a shame that after such a long time we're still on SMF.
207  Local / Polski / Re: Jak w Polsce spieniezyc wieksza ilosc BTC? on: April 13, 2021, 08:57:05 PM
Localbitcoins już nie działa jak kiedyś, trzeba udowadniać pochodzenie środków nawet i nie ma już możliwości wystawiania ogłoszeń o transakcje F2F. Najprościej założyć konto na giełdzie (tam też pełne KYC już jest, ale przynajmniej najmniej stracisz przy sprzedaży), z takimi co mają polskie rachunki największa do Bitbay, przelew na konto w banku, a podatek 19%.

Jakbyś chciał na tym zaoszczędzić to najprościej bitomaty, w Polsce większość należy do flyingatom i shitcoins.club. Wejdź na coinatmradar.com i zobacz, które masz blisko. Warto porównywać obie strony, bo czasem jedni mają lepszy kurs, a czasem drudzy. Często zależy czy sprzedajesz czy kupujesz.

Może polecieć do Kraju gdzie są cryptomaty i biżuterie kupić ?

W Polsce póki co nie trzeba się ujawniać przy sprzedaży w bitomatach. Biżuteria to słaby pomysł, straciłby bardzo dużo przy sprzedaży.

Once again, IMO, it's kind of a loop.
There are other places to talk about LN and things. So, I can post here, and possibly get a reply or 2. Or I can post in a discord discussion and get a lot more responses.
So, I don't post something about LN here, someone else does not post something about LN here, because we can get it answered elshere. And people say "we don't need a separate place for it in the forum"

-Dave

If you have something interesting to say about LN, or perhaps you have found a solution to something that you believe other people may have problems with, it might be good to post about it in one of the LN threads anyway.

BTW, which discord channel can you recommend for LN-related discussions?

Z tego co rozumiem jest to podaż pieniądza M3. Ciekawe, że jeden południowokoreański Won jest równy dokładnie jednemu satoshiemu.

There is still an Armory sub, and there hasn't been any commits to their public GitHub repo in over two years, and there are issues without discussion from over a year ago, making me believe the devs have all but abandoned the project.

It's not abandoned, check out other branches: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/branches/all, especially the development branch: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/commits/dev

Also: https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/issues/657 It's just that only one person is working on it, probably with more important stuff on his mind day to day.

The cost of keeping a sub open is low, and there are a lot of existing threads in both the Armory and Mycellium subs that people can search and review. The development of wallet software has improved over the years, and there are not the same amount of bugs there were five years ago, so users of wallet software largely don't have problems running the various wallet software.

Yes. Mycelium's popularity also stems from the fact that it was easy to use and 'just worked'. I found mobile Electrum to be very buggy when trying it out years ago.
211  Other / Meta / Re: Don't you guys think it's time for LN to have it's own (sub)section now? on: April 11, 2021, 02:34:31 AM
So to give a better perspective, 25 threads over 13+ weeks this year compared with 11 threads in Mycelium's dedicated child-board over the same period of time.

What about the Mycelium section then? There doesn't seem to be much activity and yet it exists. Was there any particular reason why it was created?

I don't know what's the current popularity ranking of Bitcoin wallets, or mobile Bitcoin wallets, but at one point (~2013-2016) Mycelium was the most popular mobile Bitcoin wallet, and a very popular one altogether even when compared with desktop wallets. There are more wallets now, a lot of people use exchanges as wallets anyway, and bitcointalk also competes for attention with other Internet venues, so all of these factors influence why that section isn't very active.
212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The history of bitcoin ATMs is much longer than I thought! on: April 11, 2021, 01:54:33 AM
As an aside, I just used a multi-coin ATM today, one I've used in the past with no problems.  But today I bought $60 worth of ETH and so far it hasn't shown up in my wallet.  I don't know if it can take hours for coins to appear, but I'm hoping that transaction didn't get messed up.

Unfortunately ETH transactions are also expensive nowadays.

TX times or TX just going astray are going to be problematic, especially when dealing with an ATM in a random location such as a local corner store that doesn't own the machine (meaning a long and protracted task to recover lost TX).

There should be some contact information listed on the specific ATM used, if there isn't any I'd be wary of using one.
213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Full Bitcoin Node Costs on: April 11, 2021, 01:50:13 AM
and don't forget they are much more expensive than regular old light bulbs.

They also last a lot longer.

If someone has an old, power-hungry computer to run a full node, that is all that is available without incurring additional costs.

And depending on their power costs, long-term it's going to cost them more to run an old computer.

Simply reduce your electricity bill by purchasing any SSD drive and you don't need your monitor running all the time.

You basically trade the hardware cost with electricity bill.

Exactly. One Bitcoin node alone is nothing, but still worth mentioning to those to whom costs are a barrier of entry, because these costs can add up to a nice sum every year when self-hosting a lot things (vide /r/homelab to get an idea).

8TB drives from Seagate now around $170-ish.

As low as $190 for a 14 TB drive during Black Friday.

Computers are actually taking only 1% of total spent electricity at home, lights are taking 12% that is much more, and most is spent for cooling and heating with almost 50% in total.

In my case computers are closer to 50%, since heating is via natural gas and good insulation etc. protects against the heat in summers.

215  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitMarket.Eu has closed down on: April 11, 2021, 12:59:44 AM
That's assuming you wouldn't have sold too early, 50 BTC was worth only several hundred dollars when bitmarket.eu went down.

Scammer tags are not a things anymore and scamming never was a bannable offense. He still logs in from time to time it seems: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4554

There was something being done to raise the money back, what happened to that? It would seem that whoever recovers Bitcoinica's from Mt. Gox money will recover BItMarket.eu's money, too.

Funny to see how people are upset and now pay lawyers, knowing they did nothing when they had the opportunity to ask to Ledger to delete personal information obtained about them.

Ledger was the one asking for and needlessly storing/transmitting peoples' info, so it was on them to keep it secure if they didn't want to delete it.
217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Full Bitcoin Node Costs on: April 09, 2021, 10:27:27 AM
Regular lightbulbs are also spending similar amounts of electricity and people usually have more than one in their home and I don't see people complaining about that.
It's not like running asic or gpu for mining that have much bigger effect on electricity bill.

Regular light bulbs don't run 24/7 and LED lights have been a thing for a while now with markedly lower power consumption.

Let's say someone decides to repurpose their older computer that uses 50 watts when a Bitcoin full node is running. 0.05 kW * 24 * 30 * 12 = 432 kW per year. In Germany or Denmark, for example (countries with expensive electricity), that's going to amount to over $150 per year.

218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Full Bitcoin Node Costs on: April 09, 2021, 09:18:33 AM
I think mentioning Internet is a kind of superfluous since everyone has it anyway, but I haven't seen anyone mention electricity. On older and less power efficient hardware, and with higher rates, over the year it can exceed the value of a cheap computer.

Common man, we are 2021 and I have multiple hard drives with multiple TB of space and even my backup HDD drive old more than 20 years have 500 GB of space.

I think you could be off by a couple years. Wink
219  Other / Meta / Re: Is there any section of the forum visible only to selected members like VIP? on: April 07, 2021, 07:36:57 AM
The forum has over 3.2 million users, and probably 99.9% of those accounts will never have their stats page looked at by anyone, so creating cashed versions of the stats page would use more resources over the long run. It might make sense to keep a cashed version of an accounts page for up to a month, or however long, but this would open the forum to a DoS attack in which an attacker visits many accounts' stats page.


*cached Tongue

I was thinking too much about the forum stats page where a lot of things are turned off, but yeah, user stats pages are different. Would be simpler if only logged-in users with at least 1 merit earned could see the pages and if they were aggressively rate-limited.

I doubt the fraudster is that stupid. Besides, is your statement assuming OP and the fraud live on same country?

A lot are lazy which is why they're fraudsters in the first place, and lazy means committing mistakes along the way. This scammer could have made off with $20k from just one instance of scamming, with the amount of money involved in frauds I'm sure they or their countries' authorities work can with authorities from around the world, e.g.:
