Easy solution: just add them all, and see what pops up.
That's going to be fun. Grin I am looking at Trust Wallet's asset page where they claim they have support for +10 million assets. At the same time, CMC shows 1.8 million available cryptos in their database. Have I been asleep in the last years or since when do we count coins and tokens in the millions?
Interesting! I never noticed that. CMC indeed shows "1.8M+" in the top-left corner. But if I scroll down and go to page 89, there are "only" 8884, and none of them show anything under "Volume (24h)".
It looks like they're trying to impress gullible users by breaking the record. Just like phone screen protectors: it started with "2.5D", then went up to 3D, 4D, 5D, 9D, 10D, 12D, 100D, 999D, 10000D, 30000D, 50000D and 999999D. The marketing BS has reached ridiculous levels Cheesy

It becomes much more tricky if the wallet delisted one of your coins.
Yeah, that is true. Considering how common it is for shitcoin projects to fail or be abandoned by their development teams, I reckon that happens regularly.
In the same way, I still "own" Forkcoins that are absolutely worthless (and shouldn't have existed in the first place). I don't mind that my wallet doesn't support them, there's no point.

For some people, they may not need earplugs, especially those who are used to sounds such as factory machines or others.
For the record: nobody "gets used to" loud noise. Hearing damage collects over the years, and every exposure to loud sound adds up. It might take years before you realize it's too late.

To add: for using the Tor browser, you don't need to install a separate Tor client. It's all included in the browser. Just like Unstoppable Wallet on Android has everything it needs to connect through Tor already.
I guess Bitcoin Core sticks to the basics, and doesn't add anything that can be handled outside Bitcoin Core. That makes sense, it's just more work.

Does anyone know if they able to successfully recover all your assets without further input by the user regarding what blockchains to scan?
Easy solution: just add them all, and see what pops up. It becomes much more tricky if the wallet delisted one of your coins.

Now, in the case of Bitcoin Core, the IP that appears in the Tor connection option is already the same as the one used by the Tor browser, is that it?
Do you mean 127.0.0.1? That's localhost, your own computer.
2388  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need little help understanding about transactions. on: October 16, 2023, 10:43:28 AM
how these fees are generated. Are they generated automatically or generated by the nodes?
Fees are created by Bitcoin users, or by their wallet. It's a free market to compete for space in a block. Miners want to earn money, and include the transactions that are most profitable for them. So transactions with high fee get prioritized.

See this topic for further reading.

here my monthly salary is about 3,500 Cuban pesos, which is equivalent to 12 dollars approximately
According to Google, it's 145.83 dollars. Why did you divide by 12?
Google also shows the minimum wage is 2100, and the average is 4000 CUP. I guess the cost of living is also a lot lower than most countries.

Quote
therefore I would like someone to please advise me on a page where I could work without investments, such as a faucet that is worth it or something that allows me to generate $2 a day because per month it would be almost $60 and as you can see that exceeds by far my salary in my country and it would help me a lot.
How does this work with the trade embargo against Cuba? Even if you have skills you can sell online, as an employer I wouldn't want to risk violating the trade embargo.

a dozen eggs costs 8 or 9$ so it is impossible to live like that
Instead of cloud mining, it sounds like you need some chickens.

My 1 TB NTFS formatted external SSD used exclusively to hold full blockchains from both mainnet and testnet has only ~ 367 GB left to be full , so probably in half of year I will think about acquiring new SSD drive with capacity of 2 TB.
No rush: you have about 3 years left before it's full.
2391  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Are dices for generating seed words fair? on: October 16, 2023, 10:10:29 AM
If there is 50.8% chance for heads and 49.2% for tails, then you can calculate the entropy like that:
Code:
H(X) = - P(heads) * log2(P(heads)) - P(tails) * log2(P(tails)) = - 0.508 * log2(0.508) - 0.492 * log2(0.492) = 0.999815327
I read it, but can't believe it. That would mean a dice that rolls heads 3.25% times more often than it rolls tails would only lose 0.02% of the entropy after 256 rolls.
I know it's been a while since I studied statistics, so bear with me. Let's say we have a 3-sided coin, with 2 sides heads and 1 side tails.
Using your formula, that gives:
Code:
- 0.6667 * log2(0.6667) - 0.3333 * log2(0.3333) = 0.9183
I would expect this 2-to-1-dice to create much less entropy. Please convince me you used the correct formula.

I have been using NordVPN which has the ability to connect to an onion server. I've already managed to access onion addresses, in Chrome.
And FWIW, accessing onion address without Tor Browser offer less privacy since your browser have unique fingerprint.
At the risk of being slightly off-topic: I wouldn't use .onion sites on a normal browser through a third party. It has none of the benefits and all of the drawbacks of using Tor. Just Download Tor Browser for this.

Until can fix the problem, uploading images up to 3MB is authorized. But remember that the forum only accepts images up to 2.5MB.
This got me thinking: how about accepting all images (or maybe with a 20 MB limit to avoid crazy large files), and processing them after uploading? My first Google hit shows how to do it with mogrify. Assuming you have shell access on the server, you can check the file size after uploading, and reduce it when needed.

(2) After analyzing Hhampuz's reply, together with the thoughts he already had about canceling everything, that person decided to stop everything just like that, having no guilty conscience about signature campaign users, since he already informed Hhampuz that there are already enough funds to cover any financial damage (and he was right, as the funds were used for paying the campaign participants).
Leaving $14k behind in escrow doesn't make sense, and that's after the escrow paid all claims.

OP posted in Request Support (or Opposition) for Flags here!, which lead to discussion there. That's not the right place, so I've deleted 7 posts and I'll quote them here. I've also Opposed the Flag.

I am an addict and I couldn't stop myself.
Get help. Block every gambling site from your hosts file. Throw away your computer. Start working out. Go watch porn. Get a different hobby. Do something. Something else than gambling.
Opening scam accusations isn't going to help you. Even if you'd get your money back, you'd instantly lose it again.



The quotes from Request Support (or Opposition) for Flags here!:
I hereby opened a flag against Stunna in the name of Stake.com after I got my 20.000$ illegally stolen from me where I was able to play casino games in a excluded account. I have gotten zero replies from any Stake.com authorites so I decided to open a flag. Thanks if you both support me or oppose me.

You opened a flag because you couldn't control yourself? I am sorry you lost and feel it wasn't your fault, but IMO it is your own doing. Have you tried to seek professional help for your addiction?

Please read the thread; I self excluded myself from the site and my account was self-excluded from casino games; which is a legal action that requires the licenses they operate on. Self exclusion is irreversible and intact confirmed by their mail. I am sorry that you don't even bother to even read the thread; and oppose it. I am not suprised and I see you are a bounty and signature manager; I am sorry that you lack the empathy and intelligence; and yes I am getting treatment, thanks for asking.


How is it my wrong doing, where I could play on a already excluded account? There is a option to self exclude if you are an addict; which I used and selected permanently after cool-down. You really lack something, won't continue on the discussion if you are going to be blindly supporting your God which is probably your boss.

I read the thread and understand what the issue is. I'm glad your reaction is to be an asshole, shows me alot about you and your character. Me being any kind of manager has nothing to do with my opinion of you and the issue.

I would maybe cancel my internet if I were you. You obviously do not need it if you cannot handle losing. I wonder if you would still have the same feeling if you had won instead of losing? This is my issue with the whole situation. How many times have you logged in and played since self excluding yourself? Why didn't you instaed of depositing and gambling, contact support and talk to them about you having access to be able to gamble? No, instead you deposited, gambled, lost, and now want to whine and cry about it.

You thought you had given yourself a free gamble is what I'm seeing. Had you tried contacting support, talked to them about why your account isn't blocked, and tried to keep yourself from depositing, I may have had a different feeling about it.

There is no doubt that if what you say is true, then they need to fix their software. You may even have a legal claim, not sure on that. Does it entitle you to a refund? Cannot say, but I don't think so. You may also want to think about suing whomever is giving you help on your addiction as it's clearly not working.

Why all this hatred? Why the word "asshole"? Did I insult you? I said you lack empathy, given to your response before and now you are entitled for it. You are entitled to your own opinion, so do I; Who tells I made a freeplay? That same minutes I contacted support and my VIP host and told them my situation. They immedietly closed my account; whereas it was only excluded from casino games I was able to sports bet which stake 'claims' to offer a 'casino only' exclusion. You can talk with your friends at Stake and ask them about this.I never continued depositing after this event and my stake account is closed since the very day of the photos i uploaded which the bets took place at the same hour; I didn't continue 'freerolling'. If you were not so rude I would continue talking but I get you and your idea; nothing will change the biased man.

Edit: When I asked for refund, I was ghosted than completely kicked out of stake.com (account closed), before you make allegations, please read the thread and don't be such a biased person; just my 2 cents.



You thought you had given yourself a free gamble is what I'm seeing. Had you tried contacting support, talked to them about why your account isn't blocked, and tried to keep yourself from depositing, I may have had a different feeling about it.





Yeah I did the very exact thing, and asked them why I could play casino games; they said I have a gambling addiction and didn't reply to my refund requests and went ghost mode. I will sue them in the very soon and my doctor as you told me. I don't understand your quick opposition, however I don't really want to take your time, no negativity in my life; have a nice one.

I also opposed the flag. In the thread that supports it you can see that I made comments that tetaeridanus didn't like, and, in the end, I ended up putting him in my ignore list. Psychological help is what he needs, and if he is very clear about it, he should sue Stake, but he won't get anything clear on the forum.

The who needs psychological help is you, who lacks intelligence of a monkey and empathy of a creature. You clearly are the most disturbed individual in this forum, you openly telling that you put me in ignore list is trying to provocate. I always acted and responded respectfully to you; however you deserve no respect whatsoever, a hopeless case which I don't think a mental hospital even won't be able to treat.
2397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Operate Bitcoin Core on a laptop with restricted storage capacity on: October 16, 2023, 07:27:28 AM
You're absolutely right, this kind of business with refurbished business laptops is quite common worldwide. While affordability and durability are key advantages, ensuring the security of these devices remains a crucial consideration for me.
Easy: wipe them and install whatever Linux distribution you prefer. I'd never use any pre-installed operating system, and prefer to buy my laptops empty.

Side question, how long do these refurbished devices last? It obviously cannot last as long as a brand-new device, which means it will fall apart sooner, is that not the case?
Can I answer with "forever"? Wink I've had new laptops break within a few years, sometimes mechanical (the hinges), sometimes the mainboard just giving up. I also have laptops 8-12 years old, and they get useless because of old age, not because they're breaking. Amazingly, most laptop batteries are still working after 10 years, although they run out quicker. And I do replace the CPU fan once in a while.
Another thing to check: power consumption. The less, the better. It's quiet, saves money, attracts less dust and stays colder. Whenever I buy a laptop, I first search the "TDP" for the CPU. The lower the better.

I have a refurbished Dell Latitude E6440 now since at least 2017 and it still works like a charm. When I purchased it I could barely see any signs of usage, lucky me. The battery that came with the laptop is still quite OK. To preserve battery life and when I don't need the battery when I can run the laptop on a power cord, I usually disconnect the battery when it is charged around 40%. On a Latitude you could also configure the battery management to only charge the battery to 50% max. when you're always plugged to the power cord. Such low charging levels are beneficial for battery life and endurance. I treat my laptops also always with some care and don't bang them around.
I never remove my laptop battery, and after 8 years it's at 70%. If I'd disconnect it, I can't use it when I need it (for instance when I unplug the laptop).

I get that updates are needed once in a while for new features (such as Segwit), but other than that, I don't need to have every latest version. And it's always a hassle to verify the new version to make sure it's the real one. I'm lazy Tongue

2400  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Are dices for generating seed words fair? on: October 15, 2023, 09:36:51 AM
but then we get into other questions such as "what is an acceptable level of bias in an experiment where you perform it some number of times, be that 1000, or more?"
When considering generating private keys for bitcoin, then my answer is zero. I don't see why you would settle for anything less. This is why I advocate for using coin flips with von Neumann's algorithm, since by doing this you can be certain you have eliminated any bias in your coin, as well as not introduced any new bias by performing randomness extraction or other processes you don't fully understand on your data.
By coincidence, I stumbled upon an article about bias in coin tosses. It reminded me about this topic, hence the 10 month bump.

TL;DR: if you start a coin toll with heads up, there's a 50.8% chance you'll end up with heads.

"According to the Diaconis model, precession causes the coin to spend more time in the air with the initial side facing up," a new team writes in a pre-print paper that has not yet been peer-reviewed. "Consequently, the coin has a higher chance of landing on the same side as it started (i.e., ‘same-side bias’)."

Diaconis found, from a smaller ideal number of coin tosses recorded and analyzed, that coins land on the same side they were tossed from around 51 percent of the time. The new team recruited 48 people to flip 350,757 coins from 46 different currencies, finding that overall, there was a 50.8 percent chance of the coin showing up the same side it was tossed from.

Delving into the data further, they found that coin tosses are highly variable between people, with some showing a strong same-side bias and others having none at all – coin tosses may come down (ever so slightly) to the tosser.
Further reading: Fair coins tend to land on the same side they started: Evidence from 350,757 flips.

There are older articles also claiming a similar (51/49) distribution, but as far as I've found the recent research had the largest sample size.
