2381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC address generated in ETH-way (keccak) - spendable? on: June 21, 2022, 12:07:35 PM
but I assume there is no way to create a transaction if it was not a op_hash160, right?
It doesn't have to be OP_HASH160 but it has to be an existing OP like OP_HASH256. Since we don't have OP_KECCAK then it is not possible to spend the output that uses a keccak hash of the public key under normal circumstances (ie. no collision!).


I agree with this and I think no nodes will validate such a transaction nor relay it to any other nodes.
Op_hash160 is 20 bytes while keccak256 is having an output of 256 bits or 32 bytes hexadecimal, so wouldn't that make a difference of 10 bytes, if otherwise do correct me.
It wouldn't be possible with that kind of assumption and to use it on scriptpubkey, definitely nodes will reject such kind of transactions since they do not align on bitcoin protocol level.

Not just bitcointalk, it happens that almost all centralized exchanges were down including marketcaps with internal server error.
The affected platforms include Coingecko, Kucoin, Hotbit, Coin marketcap, coinbase,Discord and many more but all good now.

but if someone stole the Trezor from you, the person can be able to get hold of your seed phrase which can be used to steal your coins, but if you use passphrase along with seedphrase while generating keys and addresses, different keys and addresses will be generated entirely.

I'm afraid this is not true but it is open to corrections!
You are actually wrong. Trezor do not have secure element and because of that, it makes such attack easily possible. But the use of passphrase would be helpful to avoid the attack as explained above.


well, I'm not far from the truth, this is one of the implications of being an open source, they let down their security. I watched the video and some line of python codes was used to jailbreak the password which makes it easy to penetrate into the device after removing a part of the cheap board.
This happen in 2020 and I'm seeing it for the first time and others using it as hardware will see the demerit of using Trezor without the seed extension, most members don't know these because if they do, they wouldn't be recommending Trezor without strict warning of the passphrase as most do advise sometimes.

When Trezor wallet gets stolen, for any bad actor to get in, it will require the Pin for Trezor wallet because it will be locked and encrypted, it can only be possible if the person knows the Pin to the Trezor wallet before they can spend from it, the person needs to do 10,00 combination of password to get the right one since Trezor uses 4 digits as a pin.

However, It is always recommended to back up the seed phrase in a secure place but if you misplaced the seed phrase or stolen and during the generation of the seed phrase, you add a seed extension or passphrase, it will be difficult for the person to get into your wallet because the seed phrase will produce a different thing.
2387  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is BTC Segwit address? on: June 19, 2022, 06:16:58 PM
In addition to what others have said, don't generate seed phrase on Electrum if you plan on using it on another wallet, may be not today or tomorrow because the the seed words isn't BIP39 compatible standard for other wallet. Electrum wallet support BIP39 seed phrase, meaning you can always used any seed phrase on Electrum wallet to generate addresses but you can't use their own mnemonic words for other wallets.
2388  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin address gap limit on: June 18, 2022, 07:00:53 PM
Most on-chain wallet software has a gap limit of 20, so when your wallet scans the blockchain after address 201 with an addition of 20 wallet addresses(up to 222), it will stop searching at 223 when it found nothing on the address. You have no problems displaying your previously used addresses.
 
No. But it may be a problem identifying each payment (the labels in your wallet won't be restored) and your privacy (each one of the 200 people who paid you can now see the 199 other payments that belong to you).

Maybe the user has forgone privacy to reduce future transaction fees by payment batching and utxo consolidation.
2389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minor Protection From Gambling on: June 18, 2022, 03:00:37 PM
Although the step to restrict minor gamblers is good but still they have lot of ways to submit fake identity and keep playing but as we have seen gambling is too risky and can lead to some other issues which is bad for teenagers as they develop more problems at young age.There should be certain more strict implications to stop them from gambling and avoid problems in their personal life.

The internet is a scary place, you wouldn't know until you know the intensity of the impact it can do on minors, that's why it is advisable not to allow them to use the internet except when they have a college assignment. You have seen that KYC is sometimes requested from casino but this is very cheap to buy from anyone, there are plenty of ways people buy KYC online to bye-pass any restriction, the agency really have a big job to do because I feel that a child that is below 18+ will gamble anytime they like, only with parents this fight can be successfull.
2390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: June 18, 2022, 02:50:13 PM
I really like the Premier League in terms of having many skilled players that we can see even at one of the bad-placed teams in the league standings. Leeds are a really good example for this. As you might have heard already, Manchester City are are seriously interested in Kalvin Phillips. They are trying to sign him these days. Barcelona also have been interested in Raphinha.

Manchester City is really trying to be well prepared for next season to get Kalvin Philips to come to protect their mid-field but there have been red flags from different sources and warnings not proceeded that Guardiola will use him to sit on the bench throughout the season, he should rather embrace new club that will need him on the field anytime they have a match to play. I thought Liverpool was interested in Raphinha, is Barcelona trying to close the deal before them. By the way, why has Chelsea not made any effort to buy any player so far, I hope they don't have any recent unsettle differences.
2391  Economy / Gambling / Re: Online casino. What's the reliability of the technology? on: June 18, 2022, 02:24:38 PM
You can trust the casino license.

The casino does not need to cheat on slot games. If the gambler loses too quickly without ever winning, he will not play the slot again. Smiley
If you don't have a huge balance, you don't have to worry about cheating.

You have made an important point, Casino license gives confidence that no regulators will come after them but how can you verify this licence that is always displayed on their footer page, is the licence number verifiable when you search them on national business data where all business are been registered, I feel you can't trust until you verify.

what if the casino makes you win to boost your confidence in order to increase the multiplier and then you lose when you wager all your total balance. I think when a casino is very fair in all their games, they will win the heart, the soul and money of all gamblers because they will always come back.
2392  Economy / Gambling / Re: around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble, What about a poker gamefi?? on: June 18, 2022, 02:15:08 PM
It's good to have other option since Gamblers don't want to think that much most of the time and Poker requires a lot of attention for you to win but having a focused on development is still a good idea. There's a lot of gamblers already adopting crypto gambling, this could be a good opportunity for GameFi, It's just that it needs focus and of course a good marketing strategy so ordinary gamblers will also try this one.

I don't know that poker is loved like this in online casinos, but I believe it is a regional game, unlike my side where people mostly wager on sports games for pleasure because many don't want to go through the stress of learning games and new techniques to win them just to make some cash. The number of sportsbooks that dominate here has more than tripled compared to prior years. Though restrictions played a role in this shift, I remember how police raided gambling locations back then, things have changed now.
2393  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: June 18, 2022, 06:48:14 AM
It would be cool if we added the ability to play games with other players. Board role-playing games like Mafia or Spy come to my mind. Making money playing favorite games would be great!

I really don't think you can play Mafia or spy on an online casino because there are things that you need to put into considerations
(1) The cost of running a server for that kind of heavy graphics game will be huge for the house, if the Casino is willing to pay big money for running and maintenance, will you be ready to wager a big amount to play.
(2) If the games are high dedicated graphics, will you be ready to pay to subscribe for a large amount of internet bundle, you will likely spend more to play these kinds of games in Casino.

Lets PS5 and Xbox handle this, you can invite your friends over or play multiplayer when connected over the internet.

2395  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Less FOMO more Buying on: June 17, 2022, 10:25:00 PM
At this time only those who are dedicated or been in Bitcoin will be happy at the price drop of crypto since its their time to accumulate more BTC and wait when the price already arise, when it comes to Newbies it will be hard to predict on what price they will enter since we all not guarantee whether it will drop more in price. Hence, we should set our mind if we were going to buy now and willing to wait even the price drops.

There are some people who missed out the last bull run and they regret making that mistake, I have friends who were so happy with this price drop and they are buying bit by bit as the market continues to go down, some of them have never been in this environment before but seeing how bitcoin performed from 2020 to 2021, they don't want to miss that kind of opportunity again because they are business guys who are doing well and have some cash in banks that have not yield them anything, they prefer to live it here with small correction than for banks to be using their money for lending and in return with little to no savings interested rate.
2396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching college students about Bitcoin on: June 17, 2022, 10:16:13 PM
Teaching college students is one thing, but teaching older people would be even more beneficial, like classes on youtube and other course material websites are a lot more valuable. Because, someone who is 18 years old could care about it and listen and learn, but majority of college students do not really listen and learn these things. They end up just going to college for fun and they end up not doing anything regarding studying all that much.

This means that if they end up with something profitable for them, then they could end up with a big deal in the long run after a while. So just focus on people who are 30+ years old, who will actually listen and care.

There is nothing wrong if you teach older people about bitcoin but it will be very hard to convince them to start because they are brought up to understand the financial burden of government, even if you manage to Persuade them to invest, they wouldn't vibe it like the younger generation, the young ones are way more inquisitive to learning and smart.
They say the young ones are the leaders tomorrow, let them be the leaders of Bitcoin, let them embrace bitcoin now and grow to it, by the time they becomes use to it, they wouldn't rush to the banks like our parents did back over years till now.
2397  Economy / Economics / Re: Crashes are The Best Times to Get Rich - Robert Kiyosaki on: June 17, 2022, 10:03:45 PM
He stated that if the Bitcoin market continues to plunge, he is ready to get in and start buying.  His entry window is when BTC touches $20k

He is ready to buy or he is already buying? Because I don't know how down he think the price could go, it's possible that we may plunge from here or may be we have bottom out.
This is the best advice you can give to anyone who have been on the fence through out the bull market to have a chance to start crypto journey, those who made out millions started during the last beer market, now is the time to become the next bull run millionaire.
However, this advice can only ginger new investors, those who have refuse to sell are still holding and those who were scared have cashout in profits and also in loss for fomo buyers.
2398  Economy / Economics / Re: How can I survive in a place where BTC is restricted? on: June 17, 2022, 09:33:22 PM
Despite tte ban, China is still one of the big place where crypto venture capitals hailed from, most of them have migrated out of Hong Kong and close their offices due to this heavy restrictions.
I don't know how good you are with the internet but there is always ways out of any hard situations if you are smart since you still want to buy and hold bitcoin.
We have p2p places where bitcoin can be bought without kyc information, you are paired with either a buyer and a seller anytime you want to do crypto transaction and everything will looks like nothing ever happens in the first place.
You can also decoy your wallet by having two wallet address, used two passphrase for the two, write them down and fund one with all your bitcoin and the other one with little change of Bitcoin. Always make sure that the one with little change is the one you always display by default in case they want to seized your wallet. That's the way you can enjoy buying, selling and holding bitcoin in those countries.
2399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador loses more than half the value of its reserves in bitcoins on: June 17, 2022, 09:15:29 PM
IMF, another group of big boys who always want to control a country because of the little support they offer to their members, this is why I like countries who don't buy their idea to be among them.
El Salvador are so confident about their bitcoin, if their portfolio isn't upto 0.5% of their reserve, then I see no reason why IMF has been so adamant they should remove bitcoin as a legal tender, it could be a threat to their
 researve due to it's volatility but where is the effect of 0.5% from 100% and moreover, the btc they underate today as 0.5% may 2x their reserve tomorrow, that's bitcoin for you.
2400  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you realize that you are an economist without a degree? on: June 17, 2022, 03:30:25 PM
certainly that such knowledge gives certain advantages, but if you don't have enough courage to leave all other current jobs and dedicate yourself only to economics, then you can't call yourself an economist.
for example, you can watch on Youtube various videos of someone renovating or building a house, you will probably learn many things (even some wrong) but that won't make you an architect, right?

But it is not necessary to leave a profession for another, we have some people who have 2-3 degrees in different fields and they killed it anytime they activate any of them. You can be a Medical doctor and still be an economist, you can be an evangelist and still be an economist, you can be a philanthropist and still be an economist, you can also be a musician, a fashionista and still be an economist. Although, anyone can be professional in all but there is one they always dedicate time to and like the most.
