2161  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.
2162  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.
2163  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.
2164  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.
2165  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.

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.

2167  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.
2168  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,
2171  Other / Meta / Re: Great addition for reports -- Age of a post on: May 10, 2023, 02:33:47 PM
This is a very great feature in the reporting box. But one thing I will like to talk about the appearing of the reporters' email addresses.
~snip~

You don't need to worry about that, because it has been confirmed several times that this feature doesn't work for a very long time, which means that e-mail addresses are not shown to moderators when someone makes a report. Judging by this post, that feature was disabled during 2018.

Don't store your coin on exchanges if you don't want to trade it.

This is something we constantly warn about, but as I wrote in my previous post, for a beginner who is not familiar with how non-custodial wallets work, there is a significant risk that something bad can happen even if he keeps his coins in a non-custodial wallet. I would advise every beginner to first learn some basics, and only then invest - otherwise there are chances that something bad will happen, and we know that mistakes are expensive.



Thank you all for explaining so beautifully. Many people talk about many wallets, I chose Electrum wallet. I am going to use electrum wallet.

It would be good if you read how to safely download and use Electrum ->

2173  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: "no sig for" error when attempting to send BTC using Electrum via Ledger Nano S on: May 10, 2023, 01:47:49 PM
~snip~
For your question, contact ledger support after you have updated to the new electrum which is 4.4.2. If you update it and nothing good come up, contact electrum support.

According to what the OP wrote, the problem is not in the HW itself, so there is no point in contacting Ledger support, who would advise him to upgrade the firmware anyway, which is always a risk if you don't have a backup. What should be emphasized is that Electrum does not have official support in the form of an e-mail or something similar, and the only way to report a problem is through their official github or hope that someone like @ghost43 will read your question.
2174  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Way to Send Bitcoin without Internet [Theoretical Idea] on: May 09, 2023, 02:09:19 PM
As far as I know, in some African countries there have been ways to use Bitcoin without the internet for some time, although there is always a question about how safe such solutions are, given that they are always about custodial options where users do not have control over their private keys.

For those who are interested in more, I recommend the following article -> https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/03/15/how-africans-are-using-bitcoin-without-internet-access/
2175  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: "no sig for" error when attempting to send BTC using Electrum via Ledger Nano S on: May 09, 2023, 01:52:28 PM
To begin, write which version of Electrum you currently have and which OS you are using.

After updating to 4.4.0 and 4.4.1, I had problems with the Android version, and I read that some users had problems with those versions and the Nano S. Since you don't have a seed (which is a risk), I would first try to download the latest version of Electrum from their official site (https://electrum.org/#download), and in addition, I would check if the BTC app can be upgraded for your Ledger via Ledger Live Manager.

If none of the above works and no one offers another solution (you can present your problem here (https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues), your only option is to upgrade the Ledger firmware and hope that everything goes as it should.

2176  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Mining is Good for Environment on: May 09, 2023, 01:25:51 PM
~snip~
OP, thank you for posting this counter argument to this debate, it is good ammunition against the argument that Crypto mining are bad for the environment.  Wink

Any even average person understands that mining in the context of Bitcoin has almost no impact on the environment, and not only because Bitcoin exists for too short a time to have any impact on the environment, but because in a global context it consumes a very small amount of electricity, from of which more than 50% comes from renewable sources.

The people who represent the opposite side do not care at all about any meaningful arguments, their agenda is very clear and one-way, and we can only discuss whether they are on someone's payroll or they are doing it for some personal reasons. Their goal is not at all, in the real sense, aimed at preserving the environment, but at causing as much damage as possible to the idea of any decentralization, whether it was called Bitcoin or something else.

"The 2024 halving could send Bitcoin's price 4-8x higher."



Twitter Thread https://twitter.com/Croesus_BTC/status/1655566037838962691

The key word is "could" as in all other speculations - and here it's just about playing with numbers because x4-x8, in this case, refers to the current price, and if we took the last ATH as a reference value, then we couldn't even write x2 -x4. In fact, his analysis is very simple and has already been seen countless times.

2178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which wallet should be used to keep bitcoin safe? on: May 09, 2023, 10:56:10 AM
For someone who is not well acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages of individual crypto wallets, it may be best to keep your coins where you bought them, regardless of the possible risks that arise from that.

When you acquire some basic knowledge and are able to apply them, you can save your coins for long-term storage, keeping in mind that mobile crypto wallets are the riskiest because most users have a very low level of security on their smartphones.

The same can be said for desktop wallets, although again it depends on how you use your personal computer, and although most will advise a hardware wallet, that option will only be safe if you use all the advantages of such storage, and of course ensure a properly stored backup.

Two weeks ago I saw my friend on Facebook posting such luxury and cars he already has and I know that person is into cryptocurrency so I know that he got all those things because of cryptocurrency that inspires me now to continue my crypto journey and I will start it with this forum as I know I can have a lot of lessons and advice here.

Are you talking here about someone you know personally or a friend you met online? I ask because there are people who steal other people's pictures and create fake profiles on social networks, all in order to promote some scam projects. You will ask where he got all this from, he will say from investing in cryptocurrencies and then suggest some coins on which he got rich, and so you will return to the beginning of your story.

My advice is not to repeat the mistake you have already made, which is not to invest money in something that has no meaning and purpose, as well as in something that you do not understand.

In any case, welcome back to the forum Smiley
