Naturally, as blockchain transactions are irreversible, there is no way to retrieve your funds once they are sent.
There is no way to retrieve your funds once they are confirmed, not sent. Unconfirmed transactions can possibly be double spent. However, since there is a possibility that your anti-malware software may not detect the program, the only way to be safe is to double- and triple-check addresses before you confirm any transaction.
This is a very important advice that crypto enthusiasts to take into account. It is not enough to glance over the first and last few words, but take out a minute to actually go through the entire characters and cross check them multiple times. |

Just like we see with bitcoin, majority of investors are motivated by hype and would not be interested if there is no fomo or the price is not skyrocketing. When bitcoins price is within the low range and going sideways or down, many tease bitcoin investors for their poor decision, when the price starts bulling upwards, those same people would buy at the top or wish it were cheaper so they could buy more.
NFT is another of such hype trap, lots of attention and money flowing around in it and many people wishing to get a little of the billions in marketcap, exposing them to scams.

Here is something to give you sleepless nights ... enjoy !  I am pretty sure I will be sleeping perfectly fine. "Anonymous" and "confirmed", do not go hand in hand, unverified sources cannot be taken as reliable means of spreading information. This seems like a poorly done way to spread FUD and possibly tank the prices of some cryptos. |

Anyway, how do we even know this is a response to the court. All I see is an email to someone called Monique.
Exactly this. It could all be a publicity stunt to trend on social media and build traffic. I have seen businesses do far more for an increase in follower-ship. However, whether or not this was their response to the court, it passes a bold message to the public that; • Storing your funds on non custodian platforms are the best alternative to escape heavy handed policies, and • The government have no control over a decentralized platform. |

in my own understanding about what gives Bitcoin it value I think it because of it higher demand in the society
Demand and supply are the two major driving force behind the growth of every market, Bitcoin inclusive. A growth in demand against supply would lead to a growth in the price. As an example, consider 12 years ago, when the price of bitcoin was below a dollar, today, it is almost $40,000 and has reached a peak of almost $70,000. Same network (except for few improvement proposals updates), but a much larger market and demand. However, a growth in demand and consequently price would need to be sustained by an actual utility otherwise it would eventually crash down, similar to the Tulip Mania of the dutch golden age. |

Is that real production code? Where can I find it?
Yes, it is. It was posted by theymos some time back for members to use to calculate their cool down time; What are the time limits on posting and the levels??
I know 360 seconds are for new people like me, but was wondering if there was break down somewhere on this.
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

There is no total number of posts for a week or day. There is just a wait time between posts, sort of like a cool down time to stimulate users to read more then they post. Here is how it is calculated based on your activity; waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);
The higher your activity, the shorter the time.
Note; other actions like searching and sending PM's count as a post. So if your used the search engine, you'll have to wait for a while before making a reply. |

I wish people saw cryptos as an alternative to banks not only when something like measures against the anti-vaccination movement take place... Seeing crypto as an alternative is one thing, but using it as a decentralized network is another. A lot of people who are into crypto do not necessarily care about their privacy, anonymity, or freedom, they simply use it cause it's shiny digital money that can grow in value. This usually means that they go for the easiest way to store it, in a centralized exchange (custodian wallet), so if they ever lost their account, they could restore it, cause the platform offers a Fail-Safe. This still makes then vulnerable to government regulations as their crypto related accounts can also be identified and frozen as easily as their bank accounts can be. |

The idea is to create a paper Bitcoin wallet, put bitcoin into it at a Bitcoin ATM, and then redeem it for cash in the future at a second Bitcoin ATM, without using an online wallet that could potentially expose my personal information. Or something like that.
Is that possible?
How do you plan to "redeem" a Bitcoin wallet for cash? This would only be possible if you give the ATM providers access to the private keys, or they created it themselves (and you never owned it, similar to how centralized exchanges work). This doesn't sound like an outlet which an ATM provider would want to create. To protect your privacy, you can run your own full node and transfer your funds over an airgapped device which never goes online. |

Sorry for your loss, almost everything on the internet is a scam and you should treat it as such, that way you will be more cautious about how you invest. If you had looked up the site, you would see that it was registered less than a month ago, and lots of information are redacted, showing no transparency; Expires On

It is the most invested currency in cryptocurrency. And although the price of this coin has decreased many times before, in a few days the price has reached the desired level again. So it can be said that the price of this coin will reach the desired price again.
Bitcoin has definitely spent more than a few days after dropping to rise back in the past, with prolonged bear markets lasting more than a year. So, if you plan to buy simply because the price of bitcoin rebounds after dips, then you definitely have to do more research as to the benefits of holding and using bitcoins to avoid panic selling if the price drops for an extended period of time. |

What’s this crypto thing about? There are many ways to make digital payments, from Apple Pay and Google Pay to Venmo. Mainstream payment schemes, however, rely on a third party — usually your bank — to verify that you actually own the assets you’re transferring. Cryptocurrencies use complex coding to supposedly do away with the need for these third parties.
Skeptics wonder why this is necessary and argue that crypto ends up being an awkward, expensive way to do things you could have done more easily in other ways, which is why cryptocurrencies still have few legal applications 13 years after Bitcoin was introduced. The response, in my experience, tends to take the form of incomprehensible word salad.
Bitcoin does not supposedly do away with the need for third parties, it actually does. All on chain transactions has been conducted without the need for banks or any other third party. This is necessary to give financial users freedom and create a purely peer-to-peer system. Bitcoin already has lots of legal practical applications. Legal goes with regulations and it has already been established that bitcoin functions without the need for a third party. So crypto has become a large asset class even though nobody can clearly explain what legitimate purpose it’s for. • Creating a decentralized network which offers privacy and pseudo anonymity, • a borderless network, • a fast and efficient means of transacting, • a network that gives full control to the user. And activities like Bitcoin mining, while environmentally destructive, are economically trivial compared with home-building, whose plunge played a large role in causing the Great Recession. It has already been proven that bitcoin is not environmentally destructive. Now, maybe those of us who still can’t see what cryptocurrencies are good for other than money laundering and tax evasion are just missing the picture. Exactly! But these investors should be people who are both well equipped to make that judgment and financially secure enough to bear the losses if it turns out that the skeptics are right.
Unfortunately, that’s not what is happening. And if you ask me, regulators have made the same mistake they made on subprime: They failed to protect the public against financial products nobody understood, and many vulnerable families may end up paying the price. Who determines who is well equipped, is that decided by a college degree? |

You can not predict the price of bitcoin or any speculative market, that is the volatility. It is possible for bitcoin to be over $50,000 by march and also possible to fall below $40,000 within the same time frame. Nonetheless, experts may seem to predict the current situation and that bitcoin will likely experience a steep drop in the upcoming months.
"experts" is a word that is very often thrown around, but no one can master how the market moves and predict it with any form of accuracy, it is all just speculations. |

From the past decade, bitcoin failed to add any value to the real world. It was supposed to be an alternative payments solution but it become an assets class for storing values.
Bitcoin functions as a peer-to-peer currency which basically makes it an alternate payment solution, and it is accepted by a number of merchants and also different platforms. But this was not the objective of bitcoin, it is a free, decentralized network you can use for different purposes. Its technology is old, slow, and expensive compared to many altcoins.
The technology of bitcoin is more secure than all other altcoins. transactions speed and amount are also adjustable. |

nowadays people around me think that cryptocurrency is a scam, people no longer believe in bitcoin. the name of the cryptoqurrency is tarnished because of the binomo platform  Fiat has been used for scams over time, but it has not been associated with scam over the years. Anyone who does not believe in bitcoin as a result of a scam news (real or fake) never actually researched on it and needed a reason to validate that. The general public is much larger than the people around you and this would not tarnish the image of cryptocurrencies. |

How these currencies will affect the bitcoin/crypto ecosystem?
The existence of fiat does not affect bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. They both serve different markets and function differently, rebranding fiat using the blockchain would not do much to change this. Core bitcoin users would not flip bitcoin for digital fiat, non bitcoin users would not understand the need to apply the blockchain to fiat. |

-Will you quit your job if in a month, you earn more from signature campaign than you do get from working 8am - 4pm?
I would not and would advice against it. This forum is by no means a stable way of earning an income, especially not through participating in signature campaigns; • It is an unreliable way to earn a living, • Depends on too many external factors, your account not getting hacked, the forum staying up etc. You cannot take your experience of working in Sig campaigns in search of another job, but you can do that in real life. -Is it okay to hinge your life on the earnings you get weekly from your signature campaigns?
-Has the existence of signature campaigns on this forum eliminated the need to work offline for other people?
Same answer -No -No. |

its just standard market karate kid stuff.. markets go 'upp, down, up down, up down'
Exactly! The public constantly discuss how volatile bitcoin's price is and then act surprised when it actually fluctuates in value. Not every real world situation is actually related to the price of bitcoin, it is just the market doing what the market does. |

Authoritarian governments would very certainly fight to maintain their use of money as a control device.
They do not really need to fight, authoritarian governments do not really care about the opinion of the public and can make any decision, no mater how extreme it is. Do you anticipate a future in which there is a large-scale battle between pro-and anti-Bitcoin nations?
I assume that by "battle" and "war", you mean disagreement or dispute. Countries would not go to actual war because of their opinions on bitcoin, that would not make any sense. A disagreement or dispute could happen depending on how bitcoin evolves over the years. At this present state of how bitcoin is perceived countries would not bat an eyelid, no matter what decision different nations make on it. |

Is there a place to see how many posts have been deleted there in the last few hours?
Brings to mind, are there any stats for spam post deletions, frequency, etc?
You can use Modlog to monitor deleted posts/threads, nuked users etc. It doesn't directly give info on the board posts was deleted, you would have to research on it, using the available information. Some of the virus posts have accounts originating in 2017/2018, and I’ve seen at least one that had a lot of bounty history until the virus post.
Accounts can be woken up for such activities. Could mean they were sold off or the user forgot about then and just put them to use. |
