If your friend's goal is privacy (from an ex or something along those lines,) she can merely send the funds to an exchange that allows HD addresses, like Coinbase.  Then she can reset her Ledger with a new seed (optional) and send the funds back.  They'll be nearly impossible to trace without a warrant. 

If she needs more privacy than that, then a mixer might be a good choice.  See this post by theymos that has some excellent advice:

I'm bummed that Arsenal didn't get that 7th spot, so close.  They did what they had to, but the Leicester didn't help them out.  Over all it was an exciting finish to the season with all the European league implications.  I didn't watch the Chelsea game live, so I was surprised when checking the scores.   I expected them to try harder for the third spot.

One more big game for City and Chelsea, and that's all until August.  At least I have Major League Soccer to keep me occupied until then.

Coinbase pro doesn't have an "instant-buy" feature like Coinbase does.  There's a big "Deposit" button on the main console on the right.  You have to deposit money from your bank account, then you can trade that for LTC.

Great point and excellent example.


I wasn't aware there were already BIPs covering segwit message signatures.  I suppose it would have been more accurate to say "there isn't a specific, established standard."  The fact that two BIPs exist might be the reason for delayed implementation.  I suspect you're right about most developers wanting to just copy and paste code from Core, that would make sense.  I can also understand the hesitancy to implement one, only to have Bitcoin Core implement the other at some later time, effectively making that the "standard."

I knew it.  All you're trying to do is extend your political debate into Meta.  It's not going to work, but I will say that if you're afraid of memes then your argument is shit.


Those are specific rule violations that exist because this is a Bitcoin forum.  If you want to discuss Israeli politics with those kinds of restrictions find yourself an Israel forum.

It's not any more difficult to sign a message with a segwit address, but it can be difficult to verify the signature.  There is no standard for segwit signatures, so software clients that allow you sign a message with a segwit address have implemented their own.  It's been my experience that a message signed in Electrum with a segwit address can only be verified by Electrum.

Bitcoin core allows messages to be signed only with a legacy address, or at least that's how V0.21.0 worked.  I haven't tried to sign a message with a segwit address using V0.21.1, but there's nothing in the change log that suggest this has been changed.  

I'm starting to suspect that the OP is confusing some terminology.

The term "wallet" is a general term, and it really consists of two parts; the public address and the private key.  If you have a paper wallet that looks similar to the photo posted by LoyceV, you should have both the public address and the private key on that piece of paper.  Since Blockchain.com told you that you need the private key to spend the bitcoin, I'm assuming you never actually imported the private key to Blockchain.com.  Blockchain and Multibit will allow to import the public address, which will allow you to view the transactions, but will not allow you spend the bitcoin.  That makes it a "watch-only" wallet.

My suspicion is that you imported the public address to these wallets, which allowed you to view the coins therein, but since you never imported the private key, you are unable to spend the coins.

The paper wallet should have two QR codes with text underneath them.  The public address will start with "1," and the private key will start with either "5", "L", or "K".  If you're phone will not recognize the QR code, you'll have to type out the private key manually.

Freedom, or no freedom?  There's no grey area here.  Should people be able to say what they want on this forum, or should all posts be reviewed against QS's definition of propaganda?  Who gets to review the "Authoritative Sources" to determine whether they are valid, or if they are just spreading more propaganda?  Who gets to review the reviewers for bias?

My suggestion is that you engage in calm, rational discussions, provide references that support you position, recognize that your opinions are just as biased as your opponents, and allow others the same freedom.  You won't convince everyone.  You may not convince anyone.  Just don't take it personally.

I don't think he does either, I was being facetious.  I'm sure QS is smarter than that, hell PN7 is probably smarter than that, lol. 

But I wasn't asking just to be a smart-ass; this is Meta.  If he is not asking for censorship, then what's the point of bringing up the issue in this section?  The only other reason I can see for it is to spread his political debates into a board were they're off topic.

It'll take some time for Marquez to return to top form, and there's plenty of season left.  It's unlikely he'll recover all of his speed, I've seen it too many times: Young buck with little regard for life and limb, takes a bad spill and loses a large part of his nerve.  It's only natural, but this is Marquez we're talking about.  I'm not a fan of Marc's.  In fact I've had a grudge against him since he cost Rossi the championship in 2015.  Nonetheless, I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Game 1:  12'  2-0 Arsenal
Game 2:  12'  1-1

Security is, of course the most important factor to consider when choosing a hardware wallet.  That's the point of a hardware wallet in the first place; to keep your private keys off-line, and prevent them from being exposed.  Without that you may as well just use a PC to access all your coins.

Ease of use should be the second consideration.  A wallet that's difficult to use could cause the owner to make mistakes.  The number coins that a wallet supports is up to the individual, but the two major brands support a boat-load of coins.

Anything can be called "propaganda," even sentiments that support your point of view.  You wouldn't propose censoring opposing arguments, would you?  Something tells me that you shouldn't hold your breath if that's what you expect.

If you see something that's in violation of the forum rules, report it.  Global mods are still monitoring reports from P&S.

I kind of get it; people want a Windows-like experience from a free OS.  But, nothing worth having is "free," and a Windows-like experience would require and OS that... well, works.

Ditch that shitty fucking excuse for an OS.  If you want a Windowesque OS on a Linux distro, and have it actually work use Xubuntu Desktop.  Don't get me wrong; Xubuntu is still shit, but since it's essentially Ubuntu with the Xfce Desktop it works.  

Everybody knows it's Elon's fault.


I think I saw it facing Mecca and doing Raka3ats.

Bullshit!  The people of Israel are no different than any other people anywhere.  Claiming they are all evil does nothing to solve the issues plaguing both sides.  I'll admit I'm biased, because I'm of Palestinian ethnicity...

I've spent time in Israel and the West Bank (never been to Gaza,) and like anywhere on earth 99.9% of the people are peace-loving normal people.  And like any other conflict, the vociferous few make up the bulk of what we think we know about the conflict.

My sister used to work for the UN, and was stationed in Gaza.  She's no fan of Israel (putting it mildly,) but she has said more than once that she did indeed find evidence of Hamas rockets having been fired from a hospital and a school.

If we want to have a rational, constructive discussion and solution we have to recognize Hamas for what they are; a terrorist organization who terrorize their own first.  Their tactics are specifically designed to result in civilian Palestinian casualties, because that's what they want in the news reports.  The Israeli military is not equipped to root out that type of insurgency, very few military organizations are, and therefore their options are limited.

I do believe that Israel is an apartheid state, and something should be done about it.  As an American, I think we should start by not giving Israel weapons.  I'd rather pay Nato to provide their protection.  As for a two-state or a single state solution; I imagine they'll be able to work it out amongst themselves if we protect them from Iran's or our influence.

Thank you, and good luck to all.

Yeah, I didn't even consider betting on ManU yesterday.  They got all they need out of the Premier League with that single point yesterday, they're locked into second no matter what happens now.  They can focus on Villareal and the Europa Cup, which seems to have been their motivation for the last couple of weeks, anyway.

ETA: I scored a nice win this morning, thank you sportsbet:


With some help Arsenal still has a chance of finishing 6th on the table.  Since ManCity and Chelsea are guaranteed a spot in ECL next year, and ManU could earn their spot as winners of the Europa Cup, will the selection for European leagues shift down the EPL table?  Just curious if Arsenal still has a chance for the Europa Cup.

I've only used ElectrumX, it appears to be the most common server implementation.  I've had it running for months without issue.  Configuration options require a bit of research, but once it's set up it's pretty bullet proof.  It requires a full node, unpruned, with txindex turned on, so it'll require quite a bit of diskspace for the whole setup.


I suggested he do that merely as an experiment to determine if the issue was with his EPS configuration.
