Why not? Of course, the important information would be something like "fillippone wiped his Trust list" or "fillippone created his brand new Trust List".
I think Vod meant the current situation where DT1-changes "fake" wiping your Trust list. It should for instance say: "fillippone moved from DT1 to DT2", or "fillippone was excluded from DT1", without showing all entries on your Trust list as removed. Unless, of course, when you actually wipe your entire list: in that case it should be shown. My guess is this requires a lot more scraping than the current setup.

he increased fee up to 26,790 sat/vByte (Overpaid 82x) and paid 0.03804212 BTC ($1,380).
Now check the receiving address: it has received hundreds of transactions with ridiculously high fees.

their beginner guide (~) heavily involve terminal usage.
I would argue it's good to learn to use the command line (and vi), but it comes with a steep learning curve. After that, it's much more powerful and faster than using a GUI.

- I received 8 signed messages, each of which included my name and the current date.
Confirmed.

Quote
- The balances of 8 Bitcoin addresses were replenished at approximately the same time and contained a total of more than 50 Bitcoins.
Confirmed. I want to add that the addresses were funded recently. This proves access to funds at this moment.

Quote
- All signatures are authentic and verified using Electrum
Confirmed.

we also want to note that icopress and LoyceV were informed in order to permanently delete the signed message after checking and making sure of its legitimacy.
That seems futile after sending it through Cloudflare, but I've deleted the PM. Note that the PM stays on the forum's server until you delete it from your outbox.
2085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using Locktime for inheritance planning, backups or gifts on: November 17, 2023, 04:25:46 PM
So again, the problem is:
1. How I would notify my beneficiary about the key and the timelocked transaction.
That's what I meant with "an IRL problem". You could setup a death man switch that sends an email if you don't reset the timer, but chances are you're going to forget it somewhere over the next 10 years. Or your system breaks at some point. It's not perfect.
A notary might work, but I wouldn't trust them either. They're great for legal paper work, but with Bitcoin there's no paper trail if they would commit fraud.

Quote
2. How can I trust someone (and who) with information regarding my original wallet that signed the timelocked transaction.
That's for you to figure out Tongue Who would you trust with $10k in small unmarked bills? Or, if it's $10M we're talking about: who do you trust not to kill you to stop you from resetting the locktime?

Quote
I sound paranoid, I know, but if I solve those two issues, then I will be very confident and I will beta-test ( Tongue) my inheritance plan.
I'd start by discussing this with your beneficiary. I assume that's someone you trust, right?
2086  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is the transfer transaction confirmed within 1 year? on: November 17, 2023, 04:14:31 PM
You're sending ‎0.00005047BTC. Even if it would get confirmed, at current fees it's too small for the receiving address to send it. So it's basically worthless until fees drop.
Pro tip: check fees before making a transaction. And try to avoid creating Bitcoin dust inputs.
2087  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using Locktime for inheritance planning, backups or gifts on: November 17, 2023, 01:56:34 PM
I need to let someone know where to find the seed phrase backup & the transaction.

Thoughts - Questions:
1. I will save the backups in 2 separate places, but in each place I am thinking of leaving both the transaction and the seed phrase, since STEVE is empty and it can't be funded for 10 years.
2. How would I notify the people I want on how to find the backups without exposing the backups to danger?
3. Would you also leave instructions on how to find CLAIRE's seed phrase? It is kind of dangerous, considering that this wallet is already funded.
To be clear: in this scenario you're assuming you're dead, right?

1. That should work, but if the location is compromised and someone gains access, he can patiently wait for the transaction to become valid and take your funds. So if you're still alive, it's best if you move your funds before the locktime expires.
2. This is more of an IRL problem than a Bitcoin problem. How do you usually get notified when someone dies? Someone else will have to take care of it for you.
3. That really depends on your personal situation. A spouse? Yes. A friend? No.
2088  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Which Linux distribution would you use now? on: November 17, 2023, 01:46:24 PM
SystemRescue just works: https://www.system-rescue.org/
That's not an OS for daily tasks:
SystemRescue (formerly known as SystemRescueCd) is a Linux system rescue toolkit available as a bootable medium for administrating or repairing your system and data after a crash.

So what happened exactly? Some employees fired the owners? That would be first time I hear anything like that.
And said employee is now going to pay back the money the owner took?
2090  Other / Archival / Re: [banned mixer] - service for anonymization of crypto transactions | Bitcoin mixer on: November 17, 2023, 12:18:17 PM
I’m not sure that this is necessary if a message is signed confirming the availability of reserves at the moment.
OP wanted to remove all doubt I had about this on April 15. It is indeed not necessary to prove current ownership.
2091  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betnomi | Project status on: November 17, 2023, 11:30:14 AM
So, to summarize: You took players' money, went quiet for 4 months, blame someone else and say you're going to pay back the money you took.
Question: where is the refund money supposed to come from?
Question: why announce after 4 months that you're going to announce something in a few days? Couldn't you wait a few more days and just announce it without pre-announcing whatever it is you'll come up with?

Dear users and friends,

We are writing to inform you of the status of Betnomi and our commitment to fully refunding all user balances.

In June, we faced significant internal challenges related to the company's long-term financial outlook and ownership structure. To address these issues, we temporarily suspended operations and initiated a restructuring process with a focus on long-term profitability. During this time, it became clear that continuing to work with the existing owners was no longer viable, and we terminated the partnership.

Unfortunately, following this decision, certain individuals engaged in backroom deals to extract Betnomi's intellectual property and resources for the purpose of launching a new casino independently. These actions resulted in significant damage to Betnomi and its users. Critical system resources were restricted, and the database became inaccessible, preventing users from withdrawing their balances.

We have since learned that our database was compromised and potentially sold to another casino platform that falsely claimed Betnomi had rebranded. We are pursuing legal action against this entity.

Fortunately, we have successfully retrieved a backup of our database and are working with regulators to develop a plan for fully refunding all users. This plan will be announced in the coming days.

Due to several legal actions that are pending against those who stole our intellectual property and those who wrongfully gained access to our systems and falsely claimed to be associated with us. The outcome and duration of these cases are uncertain. Therefore, we have decided to permanently cease operations and stop using the Betnomi brand in our best interests.

Over the past two years, we have developed our own casino software, risk management engine, and other valuable intellectual property worth millions of dollars. We intend to leverage this expertise to rebuild a stronger brand in the future.

We will provide an update on our reimbursement plan and schedule as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, your feedback at that time was accurate. We don't argue. But now everything has changed, and we just asked to edit the message in view of the current state of the service.
My feedback has a time stamp. If I ever need to update it, I'll add another one.

Or, and that's my bet, you don't own 56 BTC, which makes this an exit scam waiting to happen.
And we are ready to eradicate this doubt. Many refer to you so that we sign bitcoins for you. And as we answered above, we are ready for it.
Great! Sign a message proving you owned 56 Bitcoin on April 15, 2023. And, assuming the funds have moved, even better if you sign another message proving you still own those funds. If you do, I'll confirm ownership in this topic without posting any addresses.
Feel free to PM me (but know that Cloudflare can read this), or send an end-to-end encrypted email to my Protonmail.

We are ready to sign a message about the availability of reserves not only to LoyceV. We also give you the right to choose one more trusted forum member whom you prefer for this purpose.
This makes no sense. Anyone who trusts me, would trust my word for it. Anyone who doesn't trust me, also wouldn't trust whoever I pick. So I'm not picking anyone.

If facts can fuel the fire, it was never down.

I'm sending LoyceV all the communications since he is level headed, neutral and trustworthy
That was interesting to read.

Theymos sent 500 btc to several members - they all stole the coins and vanished.
All this happened before I joined the forum, but as far as I know, some got 250 Bitcoin. I've read stories about the forum treasurer who died, after which his 250 started moving. As far as I know that was the only one who "disappeared".

Quote
OGNasty, working with Theymos, gave them back because he is able to scam more here.
Unlikely. I'm pretty sure he knew stealing 500 Bitcoin would have gotten him caught, so there's no point in doing it.

Quote
Theymos decided to remove OG as the last treasurer, and add him into a multi sig agreement.  He still gets paid with tax free money, but not as much as he did before.
This archive from 2016 shows "Rassah" holding 750 Bitcoin. At the end of 2021, OgNasty was no longer listed.
I know nothing about US taxes. Here, if I'd get paid for "guarding money", it's my own responsibility to report it to taxes. That would also mean no third party would know whether or not I pay my taxes.
2095  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Question] Fast way to check bulk address bitcoin balance on: November 16, 2023, 01:50:10 PM
The correct way to do this faster is download an updated list of address with balance List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance

Then load that file into a database/bloom filter or some other custom method.
This is what I would use to quickly check millions of addresses:
How to use
The most likely use is to check a long list of Bitcoin addresses for a remaining balance.
On Linux, use this to find matching addresses (after extrating the compressed .gz file of course):
Code:
comm -12 Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt <(cat mylist.txt | sort | uniq)
  • Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt: the extracted latest version downloaded from addresses.loyce.club.
  • mylist.txt: your own list of addresses, one address per line.
This takes only seconds to check millions of addresses.

This is not faster than 46 seconds (as you have to download a huge file)... and the data might not be updated.
Three things:
1. The server can spit out that file within 46 seconds Tongue
2. OP mentioned "bulk", and I don't consider his 100 address test to be bulk.
3. The data is updated daily. I assume OP is trying to brute-force Bitcoin addresses, in which case that doesn't matter.

Even if it takes a few minutes to download, after that you can check billions of addresses per hour.



@OP: what are you trying to accomplish?
2096  Economy / Reputation / Re: AI Spam Report Reference Thread on: November 16, 2023, 12:34:57 PM
How about Silver005?
Ledger wallets use a unique key generation process that creates a pair of private and public keys. The private key is used to sign transactions, while the public key is used to verify transactions. The keys are generated using a random number generator and a master seed phrase, which is a unique combination of words that is used to generate the keys. The keys are never transmitted to the blockchain or any other third party, and they are stored on the Ledger device itself. This ensures that only the user has access to their private key, and no one else can sign transactions on their behalf.

To understand how this process works in more detail, it's helpful to first understand a little bit about how Bitcoin transactions work. When you want to send Bitcoin, you use your private key to sign a transaction with the recipient's public key. This transaction is then broadcast to the Bitcoin network, where it is verified by a group of computers known as miners. Once the transaction is verified, it is added to the blockchain, which is a public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions. The miners are rewarded for verifying transactions with a small amount of Bitcoin.
I've reported this post and left a neutral tag. I didn't check further, but I guess he has more AI plagiarism spam posts.

It's not really a budget option yet, but fanless laptops exist! It's kinda funny how it took 40 years to go back to what "home computers had in the 80's. To complete the reversal, there are now phones with fans too Tongue
From my experience, many low-power (in watts, not in processing speed) laptops are completely quiet nowadays, unless they're under heavy load and need forced cooling. So after the IDB, adding 6 blocks per hour on an SSD should be quiet.

The first picture above shows how the value of 5,250,000 FTX Token supposedly in the insurance fund was "calculated". It wasn't. It was just coded in. insuranceFund.size = 5250000 FTT. Cheesy

The second picture above shows how the value of USD in the insurance fund was "calculated". The daily trading volume on FTX was multiplied by a random number, and this was used to adjust the insurance fund to a new size. Cheesy
To me, this looks like a bunch of nerds IT guys who got in over their head after attracting much more money than they can handle. It looks like they're still just kidding around, without realizing there are real-life consequences to what they're doing.
