I also feel that you are confusing decentralization with being non-custodial. If you want a secure wallet, it should be non-custodial, decentralized and open-source.
As mentioned above, being non-custodial isn't enough. For example, in trustwallet, you have full control over your keys. But since it's close-source, there is no way to know if you are the only one who has access to the keys and since it's centralized, you have to connect to their server. This can hurt your privacy.
Another example is mycelium. In Mycelium, you have full control over your keys and since it's open source and its code has been reviewed by many people, you can be sure that you are the only one who has access to the keys. But there's still a problem with Mycelium. In mycelium, you have to connect to their server.
If you want your wallet to be non-custodial, decentralized and open-source, you can use bitcoin core or use electrum and run your own server. If you want 100% security, you must create your non-custodial, decentralized and open-source wallet on a air-gapped device and your keys should never connect to the internet.

First of all note that since bitcoin was created, we only had a few upgrades like segwit and taproot to make some improvements. Bitcoin is still bitcoin and will remain bitcoin. Secondly, it's not that easy to propose an idea and get it approved. The proposal should be supported by vast majority of miners. today they might be proposing a change to some fee mechanism. tomorrow it might be changing the max supply.
In the case by changing fee mechanism, you mean taproot upgrade, note that however taproot makes some transactions cheaper, that wasn't why taproot was proposed. The main purpose of taproot is to improve the privacy. Also note that maximum supply of bitcoin will never change. To change the maximum supply, we need a hard fork and if that happens, the new coin will be no longer bitcoin. #2: anytime you introducing new changes to bitcoin, you run the possibility that you are introducing bugs.
Every proposal is reviewed by many people and it's very unlikely that an approved proposal causes a bug which ruin bitcoin.

By "ID", I want to believe you mean "Address",.........
Bitcoin.com wallet assign an ID to every wallet you create and that's completely different from addresses. To OP:
Maybe, you have multiple wallets on your desktop wallet and you are importing the seed phrase of another wallet.

I didn't read their ToS but I played anyway and still playing there... it's a good place for gambling.
According to dPlay's terms and conditions, unlike freebitco, there are some restricted countries and it's possible that they ask users to go for KYC. This is why I said that their terms and conditions should be read before registration on dPlay.

I would like to see possibility to use FUN as a "currency" on freebitco - for betting, multiply etc, exactly like it is possible with sats.
If you want to gamble with your fun tokens, you can use dPlay. Connect your freebitco account with dplay casino, so you can use your FUN tokens balance at dPlay. (Don't forget to read their terms & conditions, if you decided to use dPlay.)

How to solve such a problem?
One way is to continue to change the server until one of them sends you the required data.Of course, I doubt any of them do so, but you may want to try you luck. I don't know if there's any other secure SPV wallet which is helpful to you. Wait, somone may suggest you an alternative to electrum. The last effort is to run your own electrum server or download the full blockchain and use bitcoin core.

Just try a different browser if you are having a problem. Windows has 2 browsers built in plus anything else you use. Start >> iexplore (blue e symbol) is an old one that should still work for testing.
In the case Bttzed03 uses the latest version of windows (Windows 11), internet explorer browser isn't installed by default. In windows 11, microsoft edge has replaced internet explorer.

I imported the private key of one of the wallets and realized that it was him, that he was not syncing. Thank you in advance!
You imported private key of one of addresses, not private key of one of wallets. Anyways, that address has probably a big transaction history and servers do not load them due to protecting themselves from attacks.

Something weird happening with the logout function. I click it and the page refreshes but it doesn't log me out. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using Firefox.
To test this, I just pressed logout button and it worked well. The problem should be from your side. Try a hard refresh with Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R and see if it solves the problem.

Damn, hopefully you didn't shut down or restart your device.
I feel you have misunderstood OP's problem. What matters is that whether the deleted file has been overwritten or not and we should hope that OP has shut down the computer and hasn't used it anymore. Also, according to OP, the text file was deleted more than two weeks ago. It's very unlikely that OP hasn't shut down the computer in these two weeks.

Is there any chance you can find the wallet file? If you can find the wallet file (and know the password if it's encrypted), you can access your fund without knowing the seed phrase.
If you have deleted the wallet file, I recommend you to follow nc50lc's suggestions for electrum data directory as well. You may be able to restore the wallet file.

What is the problem with Trust Wallet ?
The biggest problem with trustwallet is that it's close-source and there is no way to know how the keys have been generated and whether they are stored in their server or not. That may be why OP doesn't want to use trustwallet. The other problem with trustwallet is that it's only available on mobile and it has no desktop version.

I'll also like to know what happens when multiple reports on a single post are marked as good, while they have different comments, e.g, one is saying the post is spam to be deleted, and another is saying it's fit in another board.
If one of reports is handled and the post is deleted, all reports made for that post are automatically handled and marked as good. Otherwise, all reports made for that post should be handled one by one. For more information, read the old post made by halab.

I don't think it's true to say that you uploaded audio in the forum. The forum doesn't have such a feature at all. You uploaded an audio file somewhere else and shared its link here. That's like uploading a video on YouTube and sharing the link in the forum.

- OP provided an address which he doesn't own (got it from somewhere!)
According to their website, users have to prove the ownership of the withdrawal address. If OP doesn't own that address, then the question is how he/she was able to prove its ownership. - OP backed up the wrong wallet
This is very likely. - clipboard malware (unlikely but still possible)
I agree. It's very unlikely.

You still have chance to change the display name (not real username that is unchanged for all users) by sending your request to theymos. Theymos usually doesn't change the username and as you mentioned, it's only the display name which is changed. But it's not that the username is unchanged for all users. If theymos changes someone's display name due to his/her privacy, he changes the username as well. For more information, read the post made by theymos, before.

I personally use mempool.space (for its ease of use). It just display the values in btc by default. To see the transacted amounts in usd just click/tap on the amount field and it will display the USD value. With doing this, you will see the current USD value of inputs and outputs. OP wants to see their value at the time the transaction was made.

1) Download the software (ledger Nano X),save the webpage that generates the keys,disconnect your internet.
With disconnecting your computer from the internet and generating the keys, you don't make your wallet a cold storage. You should generate your wallet on an air-gapped device. This means that you should use a device which has been always offline and will never get online. The public key is your Bitcoin wallet address,this is used to send bitcoin to your wallet
Your public key is different from your bitcoin address. Your bitcoin address is actually a hash of your public key. If you want to make transaction from your offline wallet,you should import the private key of your paper wallet, to your software wallet by scanning your private key QR code into the text box provided for private keys on your software wallet that is connected to the internet,or you copy and paste your private keys in the box.
With doing this, you defeat the purpose of the paper wallet. Your private keys should never touch the internet. You should create the unsigned transaction on the online device and sign it on the offline device.

it usually contains a series of 12 (or 24) words.
If the wallet has been created in 2013, the seed phrase should contain 16-20 words. Blockchain.com wallet used to give users a seed phrase which isn't supported by any other wallet. They upgraded their wallet in 2016 and started to use 12 word BIP39 seed phrases.
