2301  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Strange error while using my Trezor wallet with the RBF feature on Suite on: September 04, 2021, 11:32:49 AM
A few days back, I was exploring Trezor Suite's other features that I don't normally use [e.g. exchanges and etc...]; while I was messing around, I thought it's probably a good time to test its RBF feature as well, so intentionally, I sent a low fee transaction and after a few minutes, I proceed to choose its fee type. I clicked "Custom" [instead of normal or high], and it gave me the following error [screenshot]:

Code:
cannot read property 'type' of undefined
  • After that error popped out, I closed Suite > reopened > did everything exactly the same, but this time there was no error!
    - I've tried my best to recreate that error, so I could report it [I know I should've done it in the first place], but had no luck.

Does anybody know what this error is about?
- I've already googled and searched on their "forum", but no one seems to have encountered that error for using the RBF feature [AFAICS].

I guess this is the proverbial "Justice has been served", adage.
I have to respectfully disagree with that part [at least not yet, until all of the other involved parties have been prosecuted].

And hopefully all the victims can be refunded so that this case can be close for good.
With the pace that things are moving at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another decade or two [unfortunately].
2303  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Tapos na ba ang bullrun? 2021 on: September 04, 2021, 07:58:44 AM
Nagsimula na naman ang bull run, nasa $50k na tayo,
Sa tingin ko hindi pa totally nagsimula ang bull run dahil napaka lapit yung support and resistance levels in the past two days and cguro, it'll be like that for another week.

hindi malabong makamit ang $100k ngayong taon,
Based dun sa "calculations ko [I do know na hindi mauulit ang nakaraan]", malabo pa within this year alone [I could be wrong].

pero mas maigi pag aralang mabuti para doon tayo sa magandang coins/tokens makapag invest.
Bakit sa iba pang coins or tokens ka pa mag-iinvest? Usually, sinusundan lang naman nila ang BTCitcoin [with the exception of a few].

Anyone that's been around for a few years knows those two words contradict each other! Nice try Roll Eyes
- Let me guess, you're going to come up with an excuse that you're also good at hiding the origin of your funds!

The reason im asking for help is because with that recent coinbase hack i lost everything and coinbase act like they dont give a ****.
Care to provide proof for everything that you just said?

Im not trying to scam anyone
And yet you used a line that's quite popular among scammers Cheesy
2305  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-09-01] Twitter Beta Testing Bitcoin Tipping Feature on: September 03, 2021, 03:21:50 PM
I'm sure it would be just a matter of time though before its uesable worldwide I guess?
Since Strike is a US-based app, it can never offer its services throughout the whole world because of the US imposing sanctions against some of the countries.
- Having said that, perhaps there's light at the end of the tunnel Wink


My only concern is if Twitter will start monitoring some countries (or maybe planning a temp ban)
AFAICR, they've never banned any country [it's usually the other way around].
2306  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: $35m in cryptocurrency stolen from a company. on: September 03, 2021, 06:27:16 AM
Sounds strange or it's my thinking only? Undecided
It is indeed strange, especially since various firms hire them to manage their cryptocurrencies!
- I do know that type of hack isn't impossible and this might've been a targeted hack because of the nature of their company, but I'm leaning more towards this hack being an inside job.

BTW, this "link" might be slightly better Smiley
2307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Afghanistan replace afghan currency with Bitcoin? on: September 03, 2021, 05:07:13 AM
@Tybi
Regardless of the current cash shortages and bank closures, BTCitcoin can't replace their own currency [for now], but it could somewhat complement it!
- Even if the internet penetration rate was high [it's quite low], I still highly doubt that the Taliban would've allowed its citizens to have that much power over something that they could hardly control.
- As it stands, it's only good for those that want to flee the country in the near future.

Here's one: Antminer T17+ Hash Board Repair Guide[EN]
- You can "contact" them directly and ask your questions as well [I haven't mined in a very long time, but AFAICR, they usually responded within a day or two].
2309  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Man Robbed of 16 Bitcoin Sues Young Thieves’ Parents on: September 02, 2021, 04:23:56 PM
Depends on which country he files the lawsuit in really. If in the UK, obviously UK law will apply, and it makes more sense because the family is there too.
He filed the lawsuit in the US [Colorado] and based on one of the comments [not sure how reliable it is], it appears that the US law should apply instead:


If the other interpretation is just the one from the parents, then it's probably not going to be valid in a legal sense.
From what I've understood, that's exactly the case here, and looks like there's a big difference between their laws:

  • United Kingdom
    Main articles: Limitation periods in the UK and Limitation Act 1980
    Unlike other countries, the United Kingdom has no statute of limitations for any criminal offence, except for summary offences (offences tried in the magistrates’ court). In these cases, criminal proceedings must be brought within 6 months.

    United States
    In the United States, statutes of limitations apply to both civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions.[2] Statutes of limitations vary significantly among U.S. jurisdictions.
    Colorado's time limits for filing a civil action generally range from one to three years, but rent and debt collection actions have a six-year limit.

but they have been doing other crimes like sim swapping and stealing millions in cryptocurrency.
Rasch [the attorney in question] was referring to "young men" that are involved in such crimes, as opposed to the other two.

It is obvious that the victim tried to avoid court proceedings,
~Snipped~
I don't think the victim is hiding anything, otherwise we wouldn't be reading about it now
Then why just a civil case? He could've achieved those results a lot faster [most likely] if this was a criminal case!
- From what I'm seeing, he needed to have some sort of control over the person that investigated it, hence why he went with a PI.

The way I read it, sulaiman.h500 is a user from CryptoCompare.com.
And this is his profile page: sulaiman.h500 [already banned]
2310  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Attack vectors for Hardware Wallets on: September 02, 2021, 02:10:39 PM
EthClipper is malware example of Clipboard Meddling Attack on Hardware Wallets with Address Verification Evasion, and paper is released by Nikolay Ivanov and Qiben Yan.
I only read some of its parts, but just to be sure, this could affect [in theory] other cryptocurrency addresses [apart from Ethereum] as well, am I right?

While I was scrolling through the PDF file, the following part caught my attention:

  • Quote
    Intuitively, it is very important for the malware to substitute the address very quickly, before the user pastes the address to the wallet client application.
    So if someone uses an infected computer, but copy & pastes really fast, then that significantly lowers the chance for that malware to find a suitable address and substitute it!
    - Perhaps, it's not as bad as I initially thought, but regardless of that, we should always double/triple-check everything.
2311  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-09-01] Twitter Beta Testing Bitcoin Tipping Feature on: September 02, 2021, 12:10:23 PM
or at least those on
Twitter.
Only those that are from the US [minus two states] and El Salvador can use that feature with Strike...
- Unfortunately, that equates to less than 340M people at most, but in reality, is more like 75M when you combine them [link]!

This will also mean that if initiated on Twitter we will be able to tip the BitcoinTalkShow account !!

https://twitter.com/BtcTalkShow?s=09
AFAIK, that Twitter account was created by Cyrus and he/she is from Romania [not sure where Cyrus is based at]; in other words, there's a small chance unless someone else created that account instead.
2312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto P2P Scam on: September 02, 2021, 09:31:01 AM
where i almost landed in trouble.
~Snipped~
he is going to take me to courts. I talked to Nigerian guy and asked him to send me the Bitcoin back so that i can refund that guy and avoid going behind the bars but he replied that its ur and his matter. Do whatever you want..
Later those people who sent money in my account started contacting me and threatning me once they didn't receive their products which this scammer promised to deliver.
You forgot to mention how it ended? Did you refund them from your own pocket or something else happened?

Before making a p2p transaction, counterparty's portfolio & feedback needs to be thoroughly checked.
Unfortunately, it's not that hard to fake those [depending on the platform, it might be harder in some, but not impossible] + such accounts are being sold [from time to time] on this forum [apart from other places].

A person(probably Nigerian) contacted me from an international number using watsapp on my cell
He used an international number, which was of Nigeria. Not only that, his accent was exactly like someone from Nigeria as i have seen a few youtube videos of nigerian people talking in English,.
It takes less than a dollar to register a WhatsApp account with a number from Nigeria or another country [for the most part] and in regards to his accent, with some practice, most of us could "easily" imitate their accent!
- FYI: I'm not Nigerian and I'm trying to only lay out some of the possibilities.

Also when we first talked, he told me that he is from Nigeria and that there is no proper banking system and because of that the crypto trading has been used.
Seems like the perfect excuse to me [I could be wrong]!
2313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: YouTuber Airrack gives away $5,000 in Bitcoin in latest video! on: September 02, 2021, 07:19:54 AM
YouTuber Airrack gives away $5,000 worth of Bitcoin in his latest video.
How are you finding these videos? This one doesn't even have a video tag in it Cheesy

The video was sponsored by Lolli,
And he's "an investor at Lolli": 12:37

Who is Airrack?  For starters, you might recognize him as a participant in the most recent MrBeast video.
That's crazy! Looks like he might've uploaded this video while being in the circle [or he had someone else do it for him].

Install this extension that asks for all these permissions.
Ummmm, no. But that's just me and my paranoia.
Same here! I prefer not to, but I really enjoyed seeing the final prize was in BTCitcoin [despite what was in the jar].
2314  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [LIST] Crypto exchanges that accepting Lightning Network on: September 01, 2021, 05:55:14 PM
@Husires
You can find a few more names from the "Lightning Network Stores - Exchanges" and maybe even from "1ML's exchange category [has a lot of inaccurate results due to their tags]".
Note: I'm not vouching for any of those exchanges.
2315  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Man Robbed of 16 Bitcoin Sues Young Thieves’ Parents on: September 01, 2021, 03:43:41 PM
What do you think of this case though,
It's one of those cases that could go either way! Both of the defendant's families are nothing but a bunch of low-life scammers [I'm referring to the part @Lucius quoted]. Having said those, I wonder why the victim in question, opted for a PI, as opposed to contacting the law enforcement agencies [perhaps he's hiding something].

I'm not sure whose law should apply
Does it mean that each one of them has a slightly different interpretation for the "discovery rule"?

  • Quote
    Schober’s attorneys argue (PDF) that “the statute of limitations begins to run when the Plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the existence and cause of the injury which is the base of his action,” and that inherent in this concept is the discovery rule, namely: That the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of both the existence and cause of his injury.

2317  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2021-08-30 Guardian - Scepticism grows in El Salvador over pioneering BTC gamble on: September 01, 2021, 12:25:07 PM
every Salvadoran gets $30 of free Bitcoin in their wallet,
But only if they'll be using the Chivo app [unfortunately].

So although it's legal tender, doesn't seem it is mandatory for people or business to actually accept it.
I'm pretty sure when it first started making noises, I read a bunch of articles that mentioned if someone were to pay for something with BTCitcoin, they should accept it [looks like it was just misleading information that aimed at creating panic among the elderly population].

Having said all that, given that every Salvadoran can now convert immediately between the two currencies with no taxes or commission, a bitcoin user can effectively spend their bitcoin anywhere in the country - it's just that the conversion to USD takes place on their wallet instead of 5 seconds later on the merchant's wallet.
That, together with the above things should be sufficient enough for easing most of their concerns.

then you can only assume that many people still have internet access from public hotspots,
~Snipped~
then perhaps businesses are incentivized to run a public WiFi point that customers can connect to in order to make payments, be they BTC or otherwise.
And unfortunately, that'll potentially open the door to other dangers [e.g. hacks].

Thanks SFR10, corrected. I remember it showed up in my feed in the same day and I got mistaken.
You're very welcome Smiley

I do not necessarily think we will see much of an increase in bitcoin use among the Salvadorans.
Same here... Might take a year or two before we'll see a significant change.
2318  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mini documentary on: September 01, 2021, 10:20:04 AM
It started off great, and then it quickly went south [I do know there's only so much that you can fit in a mini-documentary, but still, you could've done better].
- BTW, I was listening to it in the background and for a minute, I thought we had another crash [you mentioned 30k, but the subtitle was showing 50k in that part].
2319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase Sponsors New MrBeast YouTube Video! on: September 01, 2021, 09:14:24 AM
That should also serve as some motivation for our soon to be launched Bitcointalk YouTube channel as what sponsors are achievable in the space!
You're right, but I hope that doesn't become one of its main goals [at some point, it might have a bad impact on its future content].

until now the $10 referral code was effective upon creating a Coinbase account.
And it'll remain like that until next year.

Is there somebody who knows how much is all over the cost of the prize that is sponsored by Coinbase?
Couldn't find anything in regards to that [there's probably a confidentiality agreement in place], but if you search their new "Twitter" display name [Coinbase 🔜 #CoinBeastSweepstakes] on google, looks like they'll be giving away "$100,000" soon!


Even if coinbase is already popular in the community,
They're well known, but not that popular [in general].
2320  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Ann] The Price in Sats on: August 31, 2021, 09:04:21 PM
@thepriceinsats
It looks like you've gained only a small amount of followers since you posted "this" back in March; perhaps you should consider trying paid promotions on various platforms [start with small amounts and see which one works best].

  • If you expand your listings to other reliable platforms, I'll create an avatar and promote your website [for free] for a month or two [depending on my mood, I might extend it].
    - Send me a PM when you've added items from other platforms Wink
  • Just found out Tesco doesn't offer referral links for its products [you might want to look for a platform that does offer such things].
  • Bought you a coffee [hopefully, it makes you feel more motivated to do the updates/changes faster] Wink

Huh?  Huh Where did you get those 400kSat fees from?
Perhaps he/she made that comment while using one of those websites that always tend to overestimate fees [e.g. here's one].

Update:
Hey, first of all, thanks for the Coffee, I know people don't want to part with them $SATs (neither does this mole) but your right, marketing is more the focus. I'm getting a little more traction and posting more reliably but I will definitely take your pointers on board! 
You're very welcome Smiley
- Best of luck.
