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 ->

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.

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/
2165  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.

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.

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

Just sped up again and queued miners to be confirmed soon

Accelerated

After 24 hours nothing happened, and now you claim again that you did something and the transaction is still unconfirmed like all the others you supposedly accelerated. There seem to be too many naive people who believe in fairy tales these days...

Sadly, I did not see lately too many action against plagiarists. Most reporters complain that their reports were handled as good, the respective posts were deleted, yet the plagiarists were not banned.
~snip~

If the problem is to ban someone who plagiarizes (at least temporarily), what about those who post a report for some other reasons that can be very questionable? There is a big chance that such reports will remain unhandled or be marked as bad, so it really seems that those who spend their time on reports are doing so in vain.

Regarding plagiarism as a violation of forum rules, we were already in a similar situation as now, when many reporters complained that posts were deleted without any punishment, and for some reason it is happening again. I think that this could result in fewer and fewer reports, of course to the joy of all plagiarists and fans of AI posts.
2172  Economy / Services / Re: I offer free acceleration service for screwed up BTC transactions on: May 08, 2023, 03:33:25 PM
OP seems to have failed to "accelerate" transaction (for now), and somehow I doubt that it will happen because too much time has passed since his post. I also tried with the only free accelerator that works, but although the transaction fee is sufficient, the problem is in the size of the transaction.

But if every coach they had is doing the same tactics, why do they change the coaches at all? I thought that changing of a coach means that the management is not happy with the tactic that he is using. But if everything stays the same after they change a coach, what's the point?

I think that by frequently changing coaches, the club's management just wants to somehow justify doing something, because if they don't replace the coach after a series of bad results, someone will wonder if they (the management) should be replaced. It's hard to keep track of how many times a club has changed its coach in one HNL season, but if a club does it 3 or 4 times during the season, then the problem is definitely not with the coaches, but somewhere else.

If we take the example of Hajduk and Leko, who was brought in with great noise, we see that he is a man who is not and will not change anything. For those who followed a little better what happened around his arrival, it was possible to read that his vision of the game and the players that Hajduk has were not compatible from the beginning.

I received a personal message from jerry0 in which he wrote something that might explain his situation, so although it is not appropriate to publish the content of such messages, it might be better for everyone to see his explanation. I tried to explain to him how he can get to his old topics/posts, and now it remains to be seen whether this will help him not to repeat the same questions over and over again.

Hey there.  Saw you post replies to my threads.  Yes i am aware i might post new threads that wast posted months or years ago.  The reason is because i either forgot i post that question, or i know i posted that type of question but can't find it on google or on search forum.  That is why.
2175  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: More exchanges shutting down, Hold your Asset with You on: May 07, 2023, 03:24:09 PM
I've used Kucoin and their transaction fee on BTC is about $14 and lesser when using their KCC network; $0.5 fees.
~snip~

It is even more expensive than the priority fees that now need to be paid for confirmation in the next block, of course for transactions of standard size. Of course, every service has a price, and CEXs charge it really expensively or try to trick users into using some of their alternatives.

Aside from multiple uncomfirmed transactions, I'd say that miners are paying a lot on power fees and it could be a criterion that affects the high fees on bitcoin transaction. I mean how can Miners be supported if not through the fees?

Every miner (mining pool) who finds a block is rewarded with 6.25 BTC, so it's quite enough initiative for what they do - and the fees are just extra profit. We cannot blame the miners for all these unconfirmed transactions, they are doing what they have always done, and the current high fees are the result of someone else's stupidity, because I have no other expression for what is happening.
2176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will the new Unicoin affect Bitcoin? on: May 07, 2023, 10:59:02 AM
I think that is the idea. Each country will have its own brand of mthe Unicoin, in much the same way as each EU member state has its own Euro.
~snip~

What exactly do you mean when you say that each eurozone member has its own euro? The euro is the common currency of the members of the eurozone and as such is unique in all its members, and the only thing that differs are the coins that each country can issue in a certain period of time with its own motives. Now that you mention some brands and the same digital currency, it all makes even less sense to me, because then what will the CBDC, like the digital euro, dollar or pound, serve?
2177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will the new Unicoin affect Bitcoin? on: May 06, 2023, 03:02:09 PM
The DCMA ( Digital Currency Monetary Authority ) announced the release of the Unicoin at the end of last month. This is intended to be the supernational  digital currency unveiled by the IMF, and it is intended to incorporate it into the SWIFT payment system ( well that's what the blurb seems to imply).

Although I do not doubt that the whole project will be launched, somehow it seems to me that not even all the machinery that the IMF owns will create anything important from all of this in the sense that the coin will start to be used by the masses. According to what happened in the past, it is not so important what it is actually about, but who is behind it. Let's just remember how much hype FB Libra achieved even when it didn't officially exist, but it had a platform of 2+ billion people to whom it could sell its project.

So how will this affect Bitcoin? Obviously Bitcoin is an alternative to the government control via payment restrictions. The government can't stop Bitcoin directly, and restricting exchanges with the fiat system could lead to an alternative payment system to the detriment of the national currency. I believe that government agencies and banks have been buying large blocks of Bitcoin to restrict its supply, and to create volatility. They will probably continue to do this to make it unattractive to businesses.
What can we do to help stabilise Bitcoin as it enters its first stages of maturity.

Little or not at all, because the concept behind Bitcoin is completely opposite to what the IMF and the like offer. The IMF and similar organizations obviously want digitization in their own way, and it is quite legitimate for them to try, time will show how successful they were.

As for the idea that there is some secret agenda of buying BTC in order to harm it, somehow it doesn't seem to make much sense to me. If that were happening, someone would already notice such things, because not all countries work with black funds that hide their tracks. If someone powerful enough wants to harm BTC, then they can do it in a much simpler way through laws that cost them almost nothing but ink and paper.

If you can reduce the packaging and sell it at a higher price than before, and in addition use lower quality raw materials to make the product, then most companies will do it - profit comes first, and they consider customers to be sheep who are not very intelligent anyway.
That is truly a disgraceful act especially since the goods being sold are commodities or the main needs of the people in living their lives, that is too cruel, capitalistic thinking like that is inhumane.

Business is business, and everything else is irrelevant, considering that we have already become a society that is almost completely dependent on producers and sellers, and self-sustainability is becoming a fairy tale that even children no longer believe in. When the system makes you an "addict", then it is very easy to manipulate you, even if you realize that you are being manipulated.

A good article for those who want to see how it looks on concrete examples -> Here's what that looks like.

@Fivestar4everMVP, my current minimum faucet reward is 7 satoshi and I'm not a premium user. If you look at the information displayed on the main page, you can see that you can increase the minimum reward by betting on events, buying lottery tickets, or playing multiply bets until your min reward per hour is 133 sats (that's what it shows to me).

I don't remember doing anything other than buying lottery tickets regularly, which pays off in the long run because the lowest prize on the faucet increases.

Honestly if we are to consider the rate of the ongoing transaction fees on the bitcoin network, one could got discouraged from making any move in doing a frequent transaction like others do irrespective of them being a trader or not...
~snip~

Maybe a stupid question, but I haven't used CEX for a long time (which is actually a good thing), so I'm wondering if their withdrawal services are more expensive now considering the situation, or is the fee fixed at some amount when it comes to Bitcoin?

I agree that some will be discouraged by the current situation considering that we are used to paying fees of $0.50 and less, and now they amount to a minimum of $2 and up to $6 per transaction. I was hoping that the situation would calm down a bit, but now I see that we have over 300k unconfirmed transactions, and more and more "concerned" people who wonder if there is an end to this.
