There was another overnight!!! I registered to report it, but I'm too new and don't see the report button yet.

That's weird, I wasn't aware of that limitation.  It must only apply to "Brand New" accounts.  I have a newbie account I use on unsecured devices to read the forum, and I'm able to report posts from that account.  Now that you've made a post and upgraded to "newbie," you should be able to use the report link.

SHUT UP SPORTSBET SHILL ACCOUNT WITH BOUGHT DT STATUS
WE SAW MANY CASES WITH EVIDENCE WHERE SPORTSBET.IO STOLE THE FUNDS AND ALL DT MEMBERS DEFEND THIS SCAM

I've been here for over three years and I've seen nothing of the sort.  Not a signal shred of evidence suggesting sportsbet.io is scamming people.  They have addressed complaints professionally and transparently.  So please, present some evidence if you can.  Lame responses in bold caps won't convince rational people.

Not from any bank that I know of.  You can buy a lot of different coins, including USDT from Binance.US, Coinbase and Coinbase Pro, and Bitstamp.  All three outfits allow you transfer USD from your bank using ACH and wire transfers.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MORON

Should we listen to you?  How can we be sure you're not trying to defame sportsbet.io?  If you're so sure they're scammers it should be easy for you to prove it.  Show us the evidence and DT will handle the rest.  There are 100 DT1 members, and only a handful of them are employed by Bitcasino/Sportsbet.Io, there's no way these promoters could protect the casinos from legitimate scam accusations, supported by valid evidence.  Assuming they would even try.

Full disclosure: I am employed by Sportsbet.io.
2107  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Extended seed phrase safe for future updates? on: June 03, 2021, 02:46:35 PM
Yeah I guess it's not really a cold storage then, I created it with wi-Fi on and it was connected to the Internet for a few days. But that first one is now deleted. Maybe I can create another one completely off-line and transfer the coins

If you're confident your computer is safe then I might not be an issue.  The question is how confident are you that the computer wasn't infected before creating your wallet?  I've had a hot wallet on my main PC for years, and haven't had any issues.   But I'm extremely careful, and even more paranoid.

If you want a truly "cold" wallet, then the best approach is to take every precaution you can.  My favorite method is to use a machine with a newly installed, open-source OS (Ubuntu.)  Once the OS is set up the way I like it I will install Electrum, but before I create or restore a wallet I will disable all the networking hardware and USB ports in the bios, then lock the bios with a password.  Once I'm confident the machine is secure, only then will I restore or create a wallet.  The machine will never get connected to internet or any other computer again unless it gets purged first.  If I need to sign a transaction it will be transferred between my online machine and the off-line machine using cameras and QR codes.
2108  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Broadcasting the raw transaction encrypted? on: June 02, 2021, 10:00:30 PM
As far as I know there's no way to add SSL to your node.  I haven't seen anything in the commands or options to suggest that Core is compatible with a SSL cert.  Honestly I don't know enough to determine if it would be a valuable addition.  If it was I imagine it would have been discussed and implemented long before now.

I would guess that most electrum servers have self-signed SSL certs, which does little to prove the trustworthiness of the operator, but it does encrypt the data.  That makes sense for electrum because a lot of personal information is transmitted to the server, including master public keys if I'm not mistaken.  The privacy concerns for using an unencrypted electrum server are far more severe than sending a single transaction to a node.

The most obvious solution is to run your own full node.  Then you wouldn't be transmitting anything through your ISP.

The title is coming to Anfield Highbury next season

FIFY, don't let me catch you dreaming again.   Grin

A case could be made for Chelsea to win the EPL.  They have the squad for it and now they def have the manager for it.

They split with City in the EPL, and took the UCL cup from them in a convincing win.  If the first half of their season looked anything like the second half we very likely would be having a different discussion right now.  ManU fans probably don't want to hear it, but I think Chelsea was the strongest team towards the end the season.  Chelsea had a lot to play for, so they couldn't afford to go on cruise control the way City and United seemed to do.

I heard a rumor that Guardiola is heading out of EPL, possibly to coach in Serie A.  Of course it was a ManU fan that told me that, so it could be more dreaming (he'hem) than rumor.
2110  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum seed lost on: June 02, 2021, 08:06:42 PM
You may have named the file something other than "wallet."  It may be worth taking the time to search for "bitcoin" or "crypto" or "electrum" or anything else that you may have named the file but since forgot.  But that seems like a longshot at this point, I think you need focus on finding that seed.  If someone else finds it before you do they can steal you coins.

I probably don't need to say this, but I would advise against sharing any personal information with anyone here.  Be especially wary of anyone who sends you personal message offering to help, odds are they're trying to scam you.
2111  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum seed lost on: June 02, 2021, 07:07:11 PM
formatted my drive and lost the main wallet, I did export something to a USB key but forget what that was... If i knew what to look for on my usb keys i might be able to find something

Electrum has some default wallet names, the first wallet it creates will be called "default_wallet" and the subsequent wallets will be called "wallet_1", "wallet_2", so on and so forth.  Electrum does not add extensions to the wallet names.  Search for something like that on your USB stick but barring any luck there, you'll need to find that seed phrase.

The reason one has to earn merit before he can send merit is prevent abuse.  Many newbies are likely abuse their sMerit by sharing it amongst their newbie buddies (or sockpuppets,) thus undermining the point of having a merit system.  The premise is that if you've earned the merit, you're likely to know how to send sMerit.

If you find a post worthy of merit, but don't have enough to send yourself, report it here:

2114  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ESHOP launched] Trezor: Bitcoin hardware wallet on: May 31, 2021, 01:59:06 PM
Doesn't Trezor suite automatically detect the Ethereum addresses that contain the funds? It's only displaying the #1 and #2 accounts for some reason (which are empty) but not the other addresses that have funds.

I don't think it's the hardware specifically that causes this behavior.  I've used MEW and MetaMask with the Leger and the KeepKey, and they display the same ETH wallets with the addresses in identical order.  I've always assumed it's the order of derivation, but I don't know that for a fact.

None of the wallets automatically display funded addresses, unless the first address in your hd path happens to be funded.
2115  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware Wallet protection on a online computer on: May 30, 2021, 05:27:28 PM
VeraCrypt.

I downloaded VeraCrypt (maybe from sourceforge?) years ago, and the installer was full of a bunch of shit I had to decline.  I missed one and it took over my browser, the registry entries kept repairing themselves after I manually deleted them, and I had to purge the whole system to clean up the fucking mess.  Needless to say, it left a bad taste in my mouth, and haven't tried it again. 

Are partitions encrypted with VeraCrypt compatible with LUKS/cryptsetup?

MotoGP has sad news, the young racer Jason Dupasquier passes away, he got an accident in the Moto3 Qualifying 2 session at the Gran Premio Italy.
https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2021/05/30/jason-dupasquier-passes-away/375889

Wow, so tragic.  RIP, young man.

Unfortunately the danger is always there, it's inherent in motorcycle racing.  FIM has done a wonderful job improving rider safety in the last three decades, so thankfully these stories are fewer and farther in between than when I was a kid.  Track designs and safety improvements can only do so much, however.   Marco Simoncelli's accident comes to mind as one incident that just can't be planned for, what a tragedy that was.


Hasn't Honda found the best engine suit for Marquez?

Lol, a few years ago Dani Pedrosa was complaining that Honda's engineers had only ONE rider in mind when designing their bikes.  Wanna guess who that rider was?  Hint: it wasn't Pedrosa, lol.  Marques will be fine eventually.  He's recovering from a bad accident last season, and still has some pain in his shoulder.  This will give the mere humans on track a chance to win some races before he fully recovers.


I don't get to see the race until CBS broadcasts tonight at 5pm local time.  What a joke.  Anyway, I see Rossi finished at 10 after starting at 19th.  Good job VR46!
2117  Economy / Reputation / Re: 1xbit is at it again with bounty and a signature campaign on: May 30, 2021, 03:30:42 PM
Or they'll just "cancel" the campaign after the application thread is flooded with scam warning posts. They get a few days of free promotion and can blame the "trolls".

To my surprise they actually payed for the bounty reviews they requested.  I honestly didn't expect a payment, my review was primarily a scam warning, and I gave their newest account a red-tag.  But they honored their word, which is something.  So, maybe they will actually pay the sig campaign participants.

There's something else that strikes me as kind of weird about the sig campaign; the fact that they allow negative-trusted accounts didn't really settle on me at fist, but then when they accepted 5 members of the AtkinsBet Army of Alts that stuck me as weird.  They also left out any restrictions for having multiple accounts registered in the campaign, and more likely than not, those AdkinsBet shills are all sockpuppets of one person.  Maybe I'm just being paranoid, cynical, skeptical, or (most likely,) a combination of all three, but it's almost like they planned for red-tagged sockpuppets to make up the majority of applicants.  Makes you wonder if there's any affiliation between the folks behind AdkinsBET and 1xbit.

bad to Marquez use the cunning tactics

What happened, exactly?  Was he following Vinales throughout the quals?  All of the sudden Espargaro is in 4th and Vinales fell to 13th.



Marques is a sneaky bastard, he can be a real troublemaker on the track.  His tactics have put riders in danger and caused crashes before.  He's obviously an amazingly skilled rider, but I'm not a fan of his aggressive style.

As an italian and hard core pizza lover, I am not sure I would eat any of those pizzas, maybe except for Rikafip one.

Really? Chicken on a pizza? Are you serious?

I understand Pizza day needs to be properly celebrated, and I endorse GazetaBitcoin's effort in calling each topping for a reason....but too much is too much!

I will try to post my entry next year!

I agree, less is more when it comes to pizza toppings (although I must admit GazetaBitcoin's pizza looks delicious.)  I'm really picky about pizza; none of that New York style cracker thin crust!  Sicilian style for me thank you, built as such: marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes and mushrooms are a must, and usually I add only one more ingredient like bell peppers, olives, sausage, or...  Barbequed chicken.  Believe it or not, BBQ chicken is pretty damn good on pizza.
2120  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Who can stop Bounty Campaign Scam? on: May 29, 2021, 10:52:21 PM
Simply avoid scammy projects would help reduce getting bounty scams.

Nearly every post in this thread is suggesting the same thing to the OP, ie. be more selective, do your research.  So, what does he do?
