201  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: "Introducing the Randomized Node Consensus Protocol: A Paradigm Shift in Blockch on: March 16, 2024, 03:21:44 PM
How can you prove to someone that you generated a random number? Try answering yourself this question, and see why this consensus protocol is infeasible to have.

Exactly. OP seems to have missed the fact that anybody can make his own wallet, since it's just code, and mimic being "good citizen", but not obeying the randomness rule.
Sorry OP, but this can't work.

Anyone who is familiar with digital bank?  All I know is that, unlike traditional bank, they do not have the bank building hence saving them from all costs related to it.  In my country, they are offering higher interest rates returns compare to their traditional bank counterpart.  Anyone knows the reason why they can do that?

I am not thank knowledgeable on the matter, but especially if they are new on the market, they have to do something to attract customers, don't they?
Plus, not having to have offices all over the place will save them quite some costs. Win-win, at least on the paper.

Also, what is the pros and cons of using digital bank instead of traditional bank?

I can't say for sure, but one thing I'd expect is not-too-great customer support. I mean that if the number of customers increases their call center may get a bit busy and you don't have the chance to go to the office and yell to an employee.
Maybe I'm thinking too far, but another thing may be their actual residence / the country under which laws they operate - which may or may not be the same as yours.


Maybe you could ask in your own country's topics, specifically about the bank you are interested in. Some may give more spot-on answers.

rational expectation

The inflow caused by ETF is expected to go much higher than the safe/rational expectation ... with a good chance for quite a bad crypto winter at the end of the cycle (but that's not in the current scope).
This being said, I expect to get to 1M one cycle earlier than what franky1 posted.
Still, we cannot know what the future holds. Imho we have to still stack sats and enjoy the ride.

207  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Electrum to recover data from original Bitcoin Core wallet - not synchronizing on: March 11, 2024, 06:52:11 PM
About 6 years ago, I went to the Bitcoin.org website and downloaded their wallet onto my old computer.

For many years bitcoin.org has a page to choose a wallet. I tend to believe that this is what you've done and you've downloaded a wallet different from Bitcoin Core.
If it's 6 years ago it may be Electrum. If it's maybe 8 years ago, it may be Multibit HD. Of course, in the last years other wallets were built, but not as popular as Electrum.
It is important to find out what kind of wallet (name, year!!) you've used because the 12 words of very old wallets don't work just like that in new wallets, especially if different software.

use the 12-word phrase when during the installation process (which I have also done). But, I have not been able to get the new wallet to synchronize.

This is interesting! So you mean the recovery of wallet from the 12 words went on perfectly until the end with no error window/message?
If so, what you mean by not synchronizing? Just not showing the funds/transactions? Or is it showing a red dot at bottom right?
If, on the other hand, the 12 words were not accepted, please say so, since that's another discussion.

Try to contact developers of that inscribe.app, maybe they can help you with this transaction.
I never used it so I cant help you more, but I would suggest to stay away from stuff like this or bridges, it's easy to lose coins using them.

Imho there may be other motives (scam) behind that tx. And not only because of the fee.
I mean, a huge amount of very small inputs (if it would not be SegWit it would be considered dust!) with an tx fee so low I didn't see that for months.
Why would a business send your money in "something smaller and heavier than pennies" and make you pay for the "lorry" to transport them?!

---
The second tx is a CPFP and that has to pay enough total fee to rise the initial tx (which is very big in size and the size does matter, since the fee that matters is in satoshi/virtual kilobytes) and itself.


OP will need quite some luck with that.
209  Economy / Services / Re: Recover Hacked wallet: Paid Task on: March 09, 2024, 07:53:03 PM
Now his wallet is

It's no longer "his wallet". It's a wallet on which both him and the hacker have full access and, obviously, the hacker has the skills and the tools to get the money faster than your friend can see them.
The only thing that could be done would be another bot/s on your friend side to move the coins, but it will just be a "battle" between the two bots with no guarantee at all on which one would win (of course, I don't know the particularities of that/those specific blockchain/s, so there's a chance I'm missing something).

So imho you should find a better use for that money of yours.

The hacker knew the private key of that address and therefore set up a fast bot to be able to withdraw any deposits to that address.
You need to deposit a small amount, for example $2, check the bot’s response time, and then program a bot to withdraw in a shorter time.
If the bot's response time is very short (a few seconds), then it will be a game of chance. Whoever has the fastest bot with the highest fees will get the airdrop.

I don't know the hacker's bot, nor the specifics of SOL, but can't it do a/another RBF with higher fee, leading to a "higher fee" game war between the bots until the block is mined?

Since mining will become more expensive, it means that people will be discouraged to mine and miners will be lessened in numbers.  When this happened, bitcoin will be more scarce

Actually no  It's a business. They have already spent a lot on gear. They have either very good electricity contracts, either their own production (solar). They will just sell more expensive. In the past cycles it worked.

And about scarcity: the amount mined is the same in each cycle, no matter the number of miners. And most was already mined!
211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please stop blaming "the government" for lack of Bitcoin mass payment adoption on: March 09, 2024, 08:16:52 AM
As of now, many countries let their citizen invest in Bitcoin but with caution because there are still some scammers who are convincing them to invest in their Ponzi Schemes and other scam projects. if only not for these people, we would be free and not get much attention from the government but because they always create some kind of problems that always involve money and huge numbers of victims, they put tight and complicated requirements just to create an account in our local exchanges which was not the case before back then.

If govt would care about that, would help educating people. Because yes, there are so many hyip and other scams around it's hard to see the correct way. Plus so many altcoins promising this and that.
Plus, even Bitcoin is a tough topic, with so many Bitcoin Whatever coins and also Wrapped (or not) Bitcoin tokens, an individual can too easily get scammed.
But banning is imho not about that. It's more about taxes and other political decisions (if individuals are allowed, companies will want too, and then proper regulations are needed, which are more difficult).

Tot ce am gasit pana acum a fost asta:

➥ We don't collect IP addresses nor any other metadata

Da, cred de fapt ca este cel mai bun raspuns pe care l-ai putea primi; acopera destul de bine situatia.

Momentan nu au raspuns la intrebarea adresata, insa cred ca sunt ocupati pana peste cap cu alte lucruri. Aparent, cineva incearca sa-i impersoneze...

Era doar o chestiune de timp pana cand incepe lumea sa-i impersoneze.
Iar pasul 2 ar fi ca impersonatorii sa raporteze la Google samd pagina reala ca fiind cea contrafacuta.
Doar am vazut asta la CM, si nu o data...
Cei de la eXch ar trebui sa se pregateasca bine din timp.

Merci, NeuroticFish, noroc cu postarea ta, ca altfel ratam concursul Smiley

Ei, chiar si cu doua intrari de persoana, tot nu se va umple chiar atat de repede. Si esti mai activ decat mine...
Dar ma bucur ca am fost de folos... si bafta!

Cine are cel putin 1000 merite poate alege doua numere.

Am observat regula noua si mi se pare tare. Nu am mai vazut-o pana acum in alte concursuri si mi se pare ca este un semn de apreciere fata de ustilizatorii cu state vechi pe forum. Cred ca ideea a venit de la paid2, nu de la eXch; dar indiferent de la cine a venit ideea, este una draguta.

Am mai vazut reguli cu 2 intrari, in general legate de "cine a mai cumparat de la mine poate alege 2 numere", si cred ca de acolo s-a inspirat paid2 (da, cred a lui a fost ideea), ca doar stie cum merg concursurile pe aici! Bineinteles, adaptarea la merit e un plus super fain!
214  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC created new ATH before Halving: are you surprised? on: March 09, 2024, 07:46:55 AM
I was unsure what to vote - 2 or 3 - and I'll tell you why.

The ETF approval was somewhat a surprise, although not that much, the pressure is accumulating for a lot of time. And it's about big money, hence big influence in political decisions. After ETF being approved, the only surprise could have been the magnitude of the drop afterwards, not the quick recovery and ATH afterwards. Again, it's about huge amounts of money here.

But I could have been voting 3, because imho, in the grand scheme of things, this is pretty much just noise and best is to stack sats and hodl.



PS. The price may still go wildly up and down. Try to not get surprised by that. After all, it's still the bitcoin markets Wink

I've got lazy and lately I just check - now and then - the headlines from https://defidive.com/news?filter=bitcoin <- you can add other areas of interest too to the filter
Rarely I go into the news too.

I find it easier than keeping an eye on multiple websites.
218  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Am i bad to this friend if i refuse to loan him some money in bad economy on: March 07, 2024, 08:32:38 PM
What are your thoughts let learn together.

If he needs the money for an emergency, then you may consider giving it a second thought. Otherwise I think that it's just fine.

I will start with the fact that in my early years of having a job, most of the friends I've lost by lending them money (and, in the vast majority of cases, never getting the loaned money back). Sounds bad, but this is the sad reality.
I will add that it's your money, from your investment, by your decision.
Plus, if you feel bad because he did you valuable lessons: giving advises is in most cases easier than following them. Most people try to share ideas and advises. That doesn't necessarily means that you have to repay them for that.

And as I said about advises, I'll continue: nobody knows the situation as good as you do. We here can say a lot of things (free advises, heh), but we may miss details and it's ultimately all up to you.

Nu scrie nimic referitor la retinerea IP-ului... Sa vedem insa ce vor spune si cei de la eXch, desi ma indoiesc ca raspunsul lor va spune mai multe decat pagina aplicatiei.

Este simplu: cand aplicatia "discuta" cu serverul, acel server "stie" de pe ce IP are loc cererea. Utilizatorul care nu e in spatele vreunui mecanism de ascuns adresa, o va da pe cea reala.
Nu prea are legatura cu drepturile aplicatiei, comunicatia probabil ca nu este diferita de ce face orice browser.

Daca eXch retine sau nu acest lucru (sau pentru cat timp)... e partea a doua.


Iar cu restul de date... unele pot sa insemne ceva. Altele nu. Daca le iau, daca fac ceva cu ele sau nu.. nu ai de unde sa stii.
Dupa cum ziceam, in principiu par oameni OK in spatele eXch. In realitate.. un pic de paranoia este necesara in lumea Bitcoin.

It feels so good to be just almost at new ATH again...!
