Woah 
Stay safe, everything else can wait, no matter what.

Aualeu!
Stiu partial cum e, ca am avut si eu o durere de gat super nasoala acum vreo 3 saptamani, care inca imi revine din cand in cand (ca am tratat-o.. ca la noi, mai ales ca febra nu am avut), plus o tuse asociata incredibil de obositoare, dar, desi a fost una dintre cele mai urate dureri de gat pe care le-am avut in ultimii 30 de ani, cred ca a ta e mai nasoala.

Ai grija de tine, trateaza-te (mai bine decat mine!), multa sanatate si multa bafta!

Here there may be a translation issue: drug means also medicine, not only narcotic.

That's the reason for giving them only under prescription: they are addictive.
So I agree, it's illegal to sell them on the forum, since they're sold without prescription.


I think that the mods and also the vigilance of the people reporting posts is somewhat overrated. Such old posts/topics can easily go under the radar.
And now, since this is from 2012, it can even be considered part of the history  
I mean, please report it, but don't be shocked if it won't be removed. Some details (eg e-mail address) should be edited out though so potential buyers cannot get in touch with the seller anymore (if it's the case).


Weed and knives are a grey area, some are very strict in that area, some not. And imho they're much different than the much better example of prescription medicine.


And I'll get to your (actually good!) original question and the answer is similar to the prescription medicine: since the buyer will most probable not show an USA ID nor a permit for guns, we can safely consider this kind of deals illegal, hence report them.

I didn't wake up for it and I was happy with the decision. 3 hours...
I've watched the end of the race, it was superb, with Perez vs Leclerc, with Hamilton vs Ocon, with Alonso vs Russell...

I hope I will be watching a rerun today. Whoever has missed it, I advise to look for a rerun, it worth it!

This was what I expected/understood from that news. But the same news was putting Binance onto the same list as FTX and from my knowledge Binance cards are issued by Swipe, not Visa directly (as I already said).
So maybe it's in the way DaveF said, Visa takes the opportunity to get themselves into the news although it's not them who has made any actual direct partnership? It also may be that the journalists have no idea what they're writing about and some part of that news is mistaken. I really don't know...

I think that you can add Ledger too to the list. It has same property: enter wrong PIN 3 times in a row and you can generate a new seed.
Plus this can go in other places too, not only collectibles, since people still want to create their own paper wallets in a way or another.

I would add a live OS stick (Tails?) too as an option for easy setup, since the computer setup you wrote can be tricky, traces/files will remain there for when one restarts WiFi / network.


However, great initiative and nice tutorial!

Clearly the exchanges do it for profit. And probably a big number of traders too.

Still, a network with only 9 nodes and the risk of getting funds seized is not something a business should spend time with if they want to be called reputable. But I guess that they don't care since if this happens BSV may also become worthless in no time, allowing the exchanges reimburse their affected users without a significant loss.

Still these exchange should not bite the hand that feeds them (mostly Bitcoin, I'd expect), hence do this (delist BSV), if not for the sake of their own (and their users') solvability, then as a gesture of courtesy.

If you look here the domain was created just 71 days ago.
I'd guess that somebody has managed to buy a domain name similar enough to Coinbase's and send some phishing mail (i.e. scam)

As a general rule, when you get this kind of e-mails you should never click them, instead go to the intended website by the link you know/use normally and see there if there's any announcement for you, or even ask the support.

The price is related to block reward (halving every ~4 years), mining difficulty (rising with more and more powerful miners getting plugged in) and also quite a hefty speculative component. Maybe other things too. Altogether I don't think that anybody could "calculate" the future price.
I expected the worldwide rise of electricity price will also matter, but for now it doesn't give any sign to do so.
Overall increase in bitcoin popularity makes more invest / hold and this increases the speculative component...

So yeah, people throwing this or that price in the news just make worthless speculation. Nobody has a crystal ball and math doesn't help here.

Well, OP was asking about other expectations than the price.
And while everybody hopes for 100k or higher, there are chances that if recession strikes we may not even reach the previous ATH...

I think that I've seen before at least one user being banned and all their posts being obliterated. But I don't remember details.
So I would say that yes, there must be a coneection.

And from what I see in the trust feedback, the mentioned user was evading a ban, so probably it's part of some automatic "punishment" that didn't manage to "reset" everything.

Maybe a mod knows more...

An interesting news (and somewhat awaited): Visa partners with FTX
CNBC: Visa partners with FTX in a bet that shoppers still want to spend cryptocurrencies in a bear market
TechCrunch: Visa dives deeper into crypto as FTX-linked debit card expands outside US


Although FTX starting - sooner or later - to offer Bitcoin (and maybe other crypto) related debit cards worldwide is pretty much normal and probably expected by some of FTX customers, I find interesting that it's said that "Visa partners with FTX" and not the other way around and I find interesting that FTX partnership is directly with Visa and not a 3rd party provider like we've seen in the "previous generation" of crypto cards.
Clearly, FTX is moving in the direction to compete (someday) with Binance.


I guess that there are bits I'm missing, since I thought that Binance cards, for example, are issued by Swipe, not by Visa directly.

I'm not sure I understand where's the problem (as in 2022); similarly with any modern HD wallet, it would be utterly stupid to an user to expose any of his private keys.
Did you manage to get private keys? I guess not. It is written everywhere nowadays that people should avoid brain wallets since they're unsafe. I think that all brain wallets got emptied years ago (the few addresses from your list I've checked were also emptied years ago).

First of all, I agree with @davis196, there's still a long time until the next halving and too many things can happen.
However, I do expect wider acceptance, more companies do business related to bitcoin, increased popularity and number of users, but none of that is related to halving. This happens pretty much with every day passing.

What I expect more? On long terma I expect LN get used at a really large scale, I expect more similar solutions emerge, I expect we get to the point Bitcoin gets as easy to use as the fiat credit cards and that also get implemented in shops (eg. grocery store chains), I expect large businesses enter into mining either to burn excess energy, either to keep the network secure for the sake of their own musiness.
How much of this is going to happen until the next halving I don't know, but one can hope.

I've missed the "announcement", but I've noticed that many wear a different avatar for Bitcoincleanup.com and that's why I didn't comment on that.
The new avatar looks somewhat broken on my computer. Probably that's the part supposed to be "sparkly" (that's why I kept the old one and I feel it does the job just fine).

Thanks for trying to bring that into my attention though.

The part of the funds that have not arrived in centralized exchanges cannot be moved right now, since that blockchain is halted.
I would not be surprised if a rollback or (if that's possible) an alternate chain will be made leaving out the transaction(s) related to the hack.
I will add this, since it tells is very good:

No, your logic is incorrect, sorry. As said, expecting people leave paid campaigns for free ones is unrealistic.
On the other hand there are still many users not part of campaigns and/or simply wearing their own avatar; if 10-20% of them would do just a little to help these projects it would already matter/become visible.

Actually this shows the high degree of centralization in the BSC network.
While this time CZ used this for good, you never know when this would be used for bad things or just simply against you.

So the only "hats off" would be in order because CZ has revealed the true nature of BSC (for those still doubting it) in order to stop hackers.

While I agree it's a fancier and arguably less secure paper wallet simply because you don't know how careful they were in the process, I would not call it insecure simply because as we all know there are other similar collectibles funded with very big number of bitcoin and they are still safe and secure, so it is possible to be done right.

I do have a ballet card, I've won it at a free raffle here on bitcointalk, it's a small denomination (0.001BTC) and being this small I've funded it.
I find it a nice collectible and a nice way to give a present, but, call me paranoid, I would not keep large funds on it. If need be I know how to make myself securely a paper wallet (plus I have a hardware wallet too).
