If threads of the same nature appear on the same board and are quite easily noticeable then they likely are against the rules (one could've added to the other if the topics are similar).

I don't think there's too much of a reason to care about it though too (unless to consolidate information by merging the threads).
2002  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where can I post our project details on: September 08, 2021, 09:32:15 PM
You'll probably have to spend a lot of time working on bot prevention to get a project like this working.

There are altcoin service announcement and discussion topics too:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=197.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=198.0
You'll have to work out which one is more appropriate but if you're not working with bitcoin then it'll likely have to go in either of those sections.

I thought the government paid $30 to each El salvadorian citizen, I'm assuming that's what lead to the initial sell off...

An additional sell off wouldn't be a surprise to me but I doubt it'll be half - the longer we stay around this current zone though the more chance we have of just going back up.

There are 6.5 million el salvadorians with a average gdp per person of less than $5000 so...

What is a "file on your system"?

Generally if you install a software it'll have access to a lot of things but most aren't designed to take logs of what you're doing.

Realistically, anything installed on your computer can get access to what you're doing in it and what you have on it - most are unlikely to log this sort of thing though - especially if it's accompanied by antivirus - as it likely will majorly destroy their reputation with companies (where they get a lot of their money and who care most about espionage like this).
2005  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrs: Donation address and server message? on: September 08, 2021, 01:54:27 PM
I was scrolling through their github and noticed it was a wallet too (the server), have you checked it doesn't already have an address from that associated with donations.

Have you got the latest version of python installed. I'm not sure if it needs it but installing it might fix some system. Variables to get electrum working.

If you do I've seen this be suggested a few times:

2007  Economy / Economics / Re: Have you notice how corporations took over the internet ? on: September 07, 2021, 03:56:48 AM
I think the current world economy makes wealthy entities by:
1. Having money
2. Investing from having interests/doing research and taking risks to some extent with a small amount of money.

I've seen indie films do quite well if they can get the word of mouth out or produce something people would watch (even if just to cringe through it).

It's obviously hard to move up and become wealthier in the system because there are many flaws: people get paid for work based on how much demand there is and not on how hard working they are.
2008  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best taking profit techniques to maximize gains out of the upcoming blow-off top on: September 06, 2021, 08:38:23 PM
Previously, it looks to have been possible/a good idea to sell an ath that starts to stabalise before in this bull run and I think that still counts for something.

The final blow off peak, you're not going to be able to be very accurate at all. Just be happy with whatever profits you can pick up and see if you can keep moving your trailing take profit to just below resistance or sell when you're comfortable.

I think I watched the order books for about an hour in 2017 and they were quite impressive, I'd recommend not waiting until they look impressive to sell though (rises and drops of a few % in a few minutes).
2009  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi about to show up? on: September 06, 2021, 06:43:23 PM
If Satoshi moves their coins, bitcoin will probably crash anyway.

That'll be a headline within an hour on most news sites that have covered bitcoin in the past if those coins move.

I think most of the parts you'll be permabanned for here are quite logical and explicit (like don't plagiarise).

There are some that aren't as explicit like people being banned for scams when they're claimed to be unmodded, however, the idea of just not making the forum a bad place probably still exists there - and a lot of those scammers might be the same person.
2011  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How I turn my $200 to $20000 on: September 06, 2021, 03:25:22 PM
Yeah I think a lot of beginners Charts look like this. You might be just a good risk management strategy away from making quite good profits though.

Can $10000 sustain your family for quite a while? If so, I'd spend that time experimenting with whatever's left doing maybe smaller trades (eg with 10% - but not with a full amount).
2012  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Seed checker Electrum on: September 05, 2021, 09:08:59 PM
Based on the docs it doesn't look like it's possible to import an nmemonic to convert it, rather you have to import a wallet file.

From there, there's the command that will give you the master private key, I imagine the master public key can be found by changing 'private' to 'public' (for security reasons, you might want the public key instead wherever possible): wallet.get_master_private_key('x/', gui.password_dialog()) from here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/36839/electrum-2-0-non-bip39-32-standardisation-complicates-matters-immensely-why

I purchased the coins from an exchange won’t the exchange report that I sold it to someone else?
Again appreciate everyone input.

How would they know you've sold it to someone else? Do you not have custody of the coin, is it still with them?

Most companies are not designed to annoy their customers either, they'll likely report to you if you had to report something than going straight to the IRS.

Also i heard about staking can you also tell how staking works and how much profit can i make out of that.

Traditional staking (as in PoS systems and similar) do allow you to earn interest on your tokens but they also depend on the token's value. If interest in the token goes up while you're staked then great! if it doesn't then you might end up losing money as staking normally means the token/coin inflates by the same amount.

There are other types of investments that seem, to me, better. DeFi staking of stablecoins looks like it can give good returns, they used to be around 8% for more stable lending types (now it's about 2% for the regular lending stuff and 10% for the new riskier stuff (I think it's riskier anyway if it has such high interest) due to competition) - you're still relying on the base cryptocurrency though for its security/safety (so there is still some risk - I know there was a hack a while ago on that - not sure if there's been one recently).

You'd only pay tax when you sell and buy the btc afaik for fiat. If you sold the cars coin for 1.1 after buying it for 1.1 there'd be no tax to pay.

Unless the btc you pay for a coin is different for that when you sell it (then it'd be the gain or loss of the difference times the fiat value of the coin).

Disclaimer: not legal advice just how I'd do it.
2016  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Seed checker Electrum on: September 05, 2021, 05:19:10 PM
Not sure if it's possible but you can pass console commands to electrum, have you tried checking the documentation on that and building a shell/python script (or java if it has an api to the console)?

Otherwise you'll probably need a java spv implementation like bitcoinj and still pass parameters to electrum to convert electrum's seed to a master public key bitcoinj will recognise.

i never done big investement in crypto before so please give me some ideas.

I really feel like now is a bad time to start investing in crypto. You light get lucky or you might get scammed by stuff. We're going to be nearing more hype soon enough and off the back of that will come a lot of scams and bad projects (there was already an increase with that just before the last peak)..

Don't invest all in crypto, if you wanted to invest something then put it into bitcoin. Put the rest in stocks or something and wait for bitcoin to crash if you can.

This is if 10k is a lot to you, if you'll be fine losing it then you can invest however you want.
2018  Local / India / Re: How to import antminer to India for individual use ? on: September 04, 2021, 05:13:03 PM
It'll change based on where you're importing the item from and the borders it's crossing.

I think it'll be classed as a printed circuit so you might want to check with your customs website to see how much they normally charge. Also make sure you put a return address on stuff and potentially send it insured - you might be able to ask the shipping company too if they can recommend a way to ship it.

At minimum, you might need its classification code and its value for paying customs.

Disclaimer: none of this constitutes any form of legal advice, it's just how I'd ship it - but I'd probably also look for a few form drafts/samples online.

Bitstamp seem to be the longest running exchange on most charting sites that have bitcoin's price on since ~2011/2012 if you wanted a fully manipulatable chart.
2020  Other / Meta / Re: Do you think some plagiarism can happen "by mistake"? on: September 04, 2021, 02:51:51 PM
Saying "sort of by mistake" kinda sounds like "just did it a few times and hoped not to get caught". I mean I could be wrong but how do you manage to accidentally plagiarise - especially on a different thread (I could guess on the same thread someone could quote someone and edit the quotes so it looks like their word but would probably be just fixed anyway by them or a mod).
