2141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Third graders and Bitcoin on: May 15, 2023, 09:51:06 AM
I had a math class with third graders of which we discussed money I told them about virtual and real money of which I was very shocked and happy that they had knowledge about Bitcoin.
~snip~

I think, and I have written this several times on this forum, that children at that age should not be exposed to such things in schools - but some will say that they have already been exposed through the media and that they may have heard about these things from their parents or siblings. Therefore, the problem may not be that they know that this technology exists, but that some of them might start using something for which they are not ready enough, and children at that age should not have any burden of financial responsibility or even making a profit.

What I'm interested in in this particular case is whether the teacher has permission from the school/parents to talk to the children about such things as part of math lessons?

As I already wrote, people are the weakest link, no matter how good a technology is, it can be misused and used selectively. If I were in the place of the decision makers, I would seriously consider changing the VAR rules so that each team has x number of requests during the match when they can ask for a check. Something similar to what existed (or still exists in tennis), and I think it would be much fairer than the way it is arranged today.

After all, if FIFA wanted to play a fair game, it wouldn't have set things up this way, but we all know that they and fairness don't go in the same sentence.
2143  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BRC-20 needs to be removed on: May 14, 2023, 03:10:46 PM
Hello everyone. I'm not an expert at all but did purchase about 0.7 BTC worth of ORDI earlier this week, so am very interested in this discussion.

Maybe people like you are the reason why projects like this don't fail much faster than they should, because after all, money drives everything, and too many people obviously have too much money to invest in various tokens or some new invention, believing that it is "that something" that will make them rich. You yourself say that you are not an expert, but obviously 0.7 BTC is not a problem for you, your money, your risk.

There is a clear and present danger that ethereum will usurp bitcoin as the number 1 coin, in terms of market cap. I am of the opinion that if this happens, bitcoin will slowly fade away into insignificance. I hope that I'm wrong about that, but my concerns about it meant that I was initially delighted to hear about brc-20/ordinals.

I've been reading and hearing about "Flippening" for almost 10 years, since the existence of ETH and its owner's obsession to flip BTC, but it hasn't happened yet, despite the fact that the max supply of ETH is constantly changing and actually looks like it will be infinite. Fortunately, it's not all about money, as most people see it, but there is also something about trust, as some have already mentioned before me.

With all the changes that ETH has made since its inception and with all the changes that follow, I wonder how anyone still believes in such fairy tales?

I don't know if or how it can happen, but my opinion right now is that bitcoin developers must find ways to deflate the erc-20 bubble, or bitcoin will lose prominence at a rapid rate of knots.

It is my humble opinion that these ordinals will destroy themselves sooner or later, or rather when they run out of money, that is, when people realize what kind of nonsense this is all about. In addition, bitcoin developers are not the ones to point the finger at and say "fix it", the game is run by the miners and the only thing that matters to them is to make a profit, and do you think they want to kill the goldfish that fulfills all their wishes?
2144  Economy / Services / Re: [Price-check] price of signature space of an average hero rank poster on: May 14, 2023, 02:23:53 PM
I also do not think that the discrepancy between a Hero Member and a legendary member in terms of payment is necessary.
Some campaign managers pair the pay while some don't.

Not that it is too important to me, but I would personally make a difference in the pay rates for Hero and Legendary members, because the difference in activity required for these two ranks is significant (480 compared to the minimum of 775 activity points), and now that we have merits no one can say that it is equally easy (difficult) to earn 500 or 1000 merits.

My opinion is therefore that each rank has its own "value" in terms of the time and effort someone invested to achieve it. However, as you say, it is the decision of each manager.
2145  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin memes on: May 14, 2023, 01:45:18 PM
I don't think this topic is relevant to the Meta board.

Definitely inappropriate for this board, and besides there is at least one main meme topic that unfortunately turned into an invalid image message.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232907.0

It would be wise if you shift it to the Bitcoin Discussion board.

Why do you think it would be a suitable board? It is true that there is too much garbage there and that I counted over 60 topics that I would have otherwise reported as "low quality topic" or "posted in wrong board", but I read that artificial intelligence will do that job, although as far as I can see spam is flourishing in the respective board.

In my opinion, this topic has only two possible options - the first is to move it to Off-topic, and the second is to delete it.
2146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2023 discussion: Who is your favorite? on: May 14, 2023, 11:19:59 AM
Isreal - they're getting hyped much, but at least for me it's nothing special, though Noa Kirel is really beautiful

I also think that she is certainly one of the most beautiful singers who performed this year at the Eurovision, but that is not surprising considering that she comes from a country that has some of the most beautiful women in the world.

Croatia - song that you can love or hate. Personally I liked it a lot, but they're not going to win

I completely agree with that, and I think that many did not understand the message of the song at all, and that obviously resulted in such a small number of votes and a low place in the final ranking. People are obviously fed up with war, and they don't want it in any context, least of all in a competition like this.

Congratulations to Sweden and their singer who managed to win this competition again.
2147  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbook offering VAR market on: May 14, 2023, 11:07:27 AM
VAR existed to make a game free and fair, to eliminate and diminish completely the act of cheating, and to penalize any breach of the game's regulations.
~snip~

VAR is just a technology that again depends on the people who use it, and if the people (referees) are corrupt or don't understand the rules, that technology is completely useless, and in some cases it even destroys the game. When I say "destroys", I especially mean goals scored that are then canceled due to offside by just a few millimeters, and at the same time some very dubious decisions are not reviewed at all with the help of VAR because that is what the judges in the VAR room decide.

Personally, I am not surprised that VAR has also appeared in sports betting, because bookmakers are just looking for a way to make even more money, no matter how meaningless some offers seem.
2148  Economy / Reputation / Re: How much longer will JollyGood take to reverse his feedback? on: May 14, 2023, 10:52:26 AM
This is the situation when someone complains about having negative or neutral feedback, and then something much worse happens to them - someone finds proof that the account was bought or that it is part of an alt farm in which at least one account has been permanently banned. Now, instead of that irrelevant tag, the OP has much more to worry about, especially if someone digs up hard evidence and paints him in red.
2149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Looking for mutual business partner -- multiple crypto operations. on: May 14, 2023, 10:41:00 AM
I've been reading similar stories in the Project Development board over the years, everyone has ideas and is looking for partners, and then in the end it turns out that the partners get rich, and the developer is looking for a new partner, and that has no logic, right?

I'm uncertain if this post is allowed here, and if it's not I apologize mods and feel free to remove it.

It definitely does not belong in the Bitcoin discussion, and I would personally move it to Project Development or maybe Marketplace -> Services. You can do that yourself by searching for the "move button" and moving the topic to a new board.

The other struggle I have is I went blind several years ago, hence can no longer do front-end design work and is why the examples below need design work.

I know that blind people can use computers, but it's hard for me to imagine that you can do this kind of work considering your condition. Good luck with finding a new partner, and I hope you find someone who won't disappear with the money like the previous one.
2150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: help with stuck txid on: May 13, 2023, 10:02:54 AM
hey i sended btc from 1 bet site to another sadly the first did sent with way to low fee now its stuck and i cant acclerate it or use viabtc cuz volume is over 0.5kb anybody who could help accleratae it ? thx in advance

I assume that gambling site has customer support, and the only option you have at the moment is to contact them and ask them nicely to increase the fee, because the transaction is marked with RBF. On the other hand, you can hope that you will be lucky with mempool because currently transactions are going through with about 30 sat/vB, and yours has 21 sat/vB.
2151  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Where is the private key on Electrum Android? on: May 13, 2023, 09:53:18 AM
I can confirm that on version 4.3.4, which I still use, there is an option to view the private key for each address individually, although I personally have never needed something like that. It is possible that this feature was removed, or that they hid it a little more in the new versions.

One of the options is to uninstall the new version and download 4.3.4 from the official Electrum site and make a wallet recovery with your seed, and the other option is to wait for a new version in which the option could be added again (if it was removed at all). I looked at the Electrum github and at first I didn't see anyone mentioning this problem.
2152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin vs XRP? on: May 13, 2023, 09:32:29 AM
I am just making everyone aware that there are other ways of making money besides holding Bitcoin!

There is nothing controversial about that, there are thousands of different projects that promise huge profits, and if you think that something will bring you a profit of x20 or maybe even x50, no one is stopping you from investing in such a project. The only problem with that story is that it's a discussion for the altcoins board, definitely not for the B&H board.

I would rather take my chances this coming bull run and possibly make 20-50x or even more than put all my money into Bitcoin and just make 4 or 5x

Some people would be very happy if they could invest today and earn x4 or x5 in 1 or max 2 years, but if you think that it is not enough, some will say that maybe you are greedy, and some will say that you look at Bitcoin exclusively as an investment. Fortunately, there are those for whom Bitcoin is much more than an investment, and you won't believe that they even use it as a currency, because that's why it was created.

It is clearly visible from all your posts that you are obsessed with some kind of spectacular profits, but you will not achieve that by constantly asking the same questions.
2153  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New wallet uses Amazon hardware security modules to eliminate seed words on: May 12, 2023, 02:45:51 PM
The article is poorly written and the headline is wrong. That is very typical of CoinTelegraph articles.
~snip~

I completely agree with this statement, but everyone has their own choice of news sources, and the OP obviously likes them for some reason.



~snip~
But considering amazon unethical practice and Amazon connection with some government department, there's concern to store sensitive data (including Bitcoin private key) on Amazon product.

Well said, I personally would never trust them because they don't care about anything other than profit. And as for their connection with governments, I recently watched a documentary about their "contribution" to the monitoring and evaluation of public officials through various AI programs, which turned out to be a complete failure.

If we're going to be honest, I don't even trust some companies that produce HW anymore because they've proven to be incompetent in that business, let alone a company that literally does everything and just wants to expand its business a little more.
2154  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: May 12, 2023, 02:13:43 PM
@Rikafip, I read the news today, and I must say that I am not at all surprised by this decision, because this scammer did not come to this area by chance, but he knew very well that everything can be bought here with money, and quite cheaply. Apart from that, Montenegro does not have an extradition agreement with the US and South Korea, and Kwon claims that Costa Rica's passports are completely legal, and he asks for this to be checked because there is supposedly documentation that can prove it.

As for the release, the authorities say that they will be housed in an apartment guarded by the police.
2155  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🥇BEST CASINO IN 2023 - Community decide🥇 on: May 11, 2023, 01:43:05 PM
You could have created a poll for this thread than just adding a list casinos where some are unknown in the forum.

I agree that would be the best method for voting, although we have to take into account the number of participants in each sig campaign who would then cast their vote and probably decide the winner. It is difficult to be objective about which online casino is the best if you have not personally tried it, and there are many factors that are very important, from the choice of games, the KYC process, support to whether a casino has an open scam accusation.



@NewCryptocasinos, do not post in the row, because that violates the rules of the forum (Rule 32), but you can simply make a multi-quote and reply to several posts in one post or edit an existing post.
2156  Economy / Reputation / Re: Are they too high quality so easy to rank up? on: May 11, 2023, 11:05:06 AM
Regarding merit, I don't want to ask excessively which leads to begging.
But is it possible if I ask to review my post history. Does it look too much or too bad?

If others are doing it, I don't see why you can't do it too, although I personally think it doesn't look very appropriate, because as you conclude, it still looks like merit begging. However, there are several users who are merit sources and who can help you and offer such a way of reviewing posts, so just follow @fillippone advice.

On the other hand, if you missed it (originally posted in the Meta board) ->

2157  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Liechtenstein is considering to accept bitcoin for government payments on: May 11, 2023, 10:36:26 AM
" It is worth mentioning that the politician failed to provide details on whether Liechtenstein intends to embrace BTC as a legal tender, similar to what El Salvador and the Central African Republic did in 2021 and 2022, respectively."

It should only be noted that Bitcoin is no longer legal tender in the CAR, so that experiment did not end well in one of the poorest countries in the world, where only about 10% of the population has access to the internet.



The adoption of Bitcoin in Liechtenstein is a positive move that could potentially impact Bitcoin's price positively. It's encouraging to hear news of small countries in the EU taking the initiative to adopt Bitcoin as a local currency.

I already wrote that this micro-state is not part of the European Union (EU) and I don't know if it's a misconception or if that abbreviation is used incorrectly when someone thinks of Europe. However, it should be emphasized that Liechtenstein is part of the EEA (European Economic Area), which means that they are part of the EU market.


I'm confident that sooner or later Bitcoin will become a major global currency.

Do you think that the world powers will just allow this and endanger their national currencies? Bitcoin is already a global currency and it is not at all necessary for any country to declare it as legal tender in order for it to be successful. You only have to look at the examples of countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, or perhaps the island of Boracay in the Philippines, but also at many other examples where people use Bitcoin without the government of those countries having a positive opinion about it - it is a means of payment, and when people pay for services and products, the state collects taxes, which is a win-win situation.
2158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Liechtenstein is considering to accept bitcoin for government payments on: May 10, 2023, 04:19:47 PM
Liechtenstein is even defined as a microstate considering its area and population, and is not part of the European Union or the Eurozone. Even if they accepted Bitcoin in any form, it would not have any significant effects, because in some parts of Switzerland and some other EU countries you can pay bills, taxes and buy almost anything you can imagine with Bitcoin - and you don't even need to pay tax on profit if you keep BTC for more than 1 or 2 years.

Hello, I had about 135,000 satoshi in my account and it disappeared from my account, what should I do? I don't even see the withdrawal in my history. I don't know what happened. Can you help me?

It is possible that it is a glitch, although I kind of doubt that it is, considering that no one else has this problem. Do you have more than one account? The one in question has 96 sats on the balance.

In any case, if you have filled out the contact form and described your problem, be patient in waiting for a response,
