241  Economy / Service Discussion / Mixing through Dexes ? on: November 08, 2023, 06:50:04 PM
Well, i know that there are a lot of mixers available and some of them are really good ones. Then we have instant exchanges and the normal crypto exchanges where people can mix their coins to some extent.

I was thinking that it is possible to mix the coins through DEXes. There are a lot of DEXes available and there are also bridges too where one can convert the coin from one blockchain to get another coin to another blockchain.

If you can shed more light on this, it may be helpful for many of us.

They could, it's not a problem. But from what we saw in recent years, it seems that owner of Preev.com simply doesn't cares much about his website anymore.

Well, preev.com is one of the most popular site among the Bitcoin community so why does the owner not care about this cash cow  Huh

Also, when the site is down for so many days, people will shift to some other sites (few of them are available these days) and may not know that this site is back again.

Also, this site is not https protected, as it is showing "non-secure", and looks non-professional  Sad

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.


So is there a way to add all of the tokens automatically? Adding them manually one by one with each token is available on multiple blockchains, is another hectic task.


Assuming I am having wallet 1, 2 and 3.
My password is 12345
I set duress wallet 1 password as 11111
Duress wallet 2 password as 22222
Maybe wallet 3 is having just little amount of coins (fake wallet). Not fake wallet but I think you understand what I am implying. And the duress password is 33333

Password 12345 will let you see the whole wallet (1, 2 and 3) as usual as it was
Password 11111 will only let you see wallet 1
Password 22222 will only let you see wallet 2
Password 33333 will only let you see wallet 3

I think this is good. I use weak password for illustrating it, not recommended. Use better passwords.

For whom do we need the fake wallet? You mean that  we will enter the fake wallet password in front of our friend and then show him that we have only few coins while our real assets are stored with other password. Other than this i don't find it useful. And there is no way this duress password is safe guard against the hackers/malwares as he can hack other passwords too, if he is able to compromise duress password  of fake wallet somehow
244  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price $45k by ending of 2023: AI prediction on: November 07, 2023, 07:29:28 PM
So I decided to bring it to the forum to know about what other forum members think about this AI prediction. Is it a prediction you can rely on or it's just one of those common bitcoin  price predictions of the decade we are used to from different angles, is there anything special about this one .

Inasmuch as I know AI is just speculating the price of bitcoin in consideration with the current price now, just like every other human is doing their own speculation. Bitcoin is a volatile asset and has the tendency of fluctuating in it's price in the market so projecting the price to be around $45,000 towards the end of the year may not be as accurate as the AI predicted but however the best option now is still to buy and HODL

We all know that it is best to buy and hold for long term but here is the question is how authentic is this prediction by the AI.

Well, we can only tell if this prediction was right or wrong on the 1st of Jan, 2024 as by then we already will have this data. However, i think that if the ETF is approved by that time, only then we can move to such figures else we may see price consolidating between 30-35K.

It is because of the ETF hype plus the bitcoin halving is nearby, we are not seeing any dump in the market and it is very much possible that we may reach near this $45K target. Yeah, after the halving the price can dump a bit but before that bitcoin is fundamentally very strong at his point of time.
245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's happening with Bitcoin transaction fees? on: November 07, 2023, 07:11:56 PM
I was checking mempool and saw the transaction  fee sky rocketing. I am not sure what happened suddenly as these fees are way beyond anyone's imagination. Later on, I did found out that Binance has listed Ordinals (ORDI). I want to ask the community whether the severe high transaction fee occured because of the listing?

It is for sure because of the Ordinals and we see this because of the listing at the binance. I remember that a few months ago the Ordinals were in the hype and at that time too, the mempool was congested resulting in the high tx price.

Anyways this is a party time for the miners as their revenues are increased by many times these days.

I had a look into the blocks confirmed as at the time of this post it was at 815740 and the last block to be mined by viabtc pool is block 815721 which around 20 blocks down, imagine having to wait this long and if you don’t get into the next block mined by them you wait way longer again, definitely a long time before wait.

Well, if the mempool is congested like it is now, will it take longer to mine the block too ?
Yes, I know that the transaction fee is increased but due to this, the block mining time is also increasing ?
246  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Consolidating UTXOs in wallets. on: November 06, 2023, 07:40:11 PM
I prefer to just use multiple wallets for different things and not connect KYC coins with non-KYC coins, for example. Wallet creation is free, use a new one (and new addresses from it) only for a specific purpose. For instance, my Sinbad signature payments go into a new wallet that's got nothing to do with my non-public addresses, private investments or my other coins I am holding for whatever reason in completely different wallets. If I do consolidations and mixing, I will still not connect those "different-purpose" coins unless I have a reason why I am doing that or don't care.    

The only problem I see here is that you have to manage multiple backups because each wallet has a different seed phrase

Alternatively you could use less wallets and create various accounts for each wallet. For instance Wallet A could be the payments wallets as you said and each account could be known to the "real life instance - company" that you pay or get paid from. Thus, Wallet A - Account 0 could be for payments with company A, Account 1 could be for company B etc.

Then you could use wallet B for different reason and also use various accounts of wallet B.


This is much easier to manage.

When you say that instead of using different wallets, you can create different accounts which have the same seed phrases. I think the correct word for "Account" is the different wallet address as each wallet contains many different address ( if that is what you meant  Huh )


That's exactly what I do, but in my previous message I didn't call them accounts so as not to create confusion and make people think of custodial accounts on exchanges for example. I see that it still created confusion, though. Cheesy Hardware wallet users will be familiar with the term 'accounts' referring to a new Bitcoin account at a different derivation path (+1) than the previous one. It still feels weird sometimes using that terminology.  

Same question to you ? Why don't you call it different bitcoin addresses instead of accounts. Like in Electrum you have many addresses including the change address. We don't call them accounts. I hope you and me are on the same page  Roll Eyes
247  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: bitcoin wallet on: November 06, 2023, 07:21:34 PM
Well, if the Andriod devices are not safe to install the bitcoin wallet, the laptops / Desktop aren't safe too. Any device which is connected to the Internet increase the chances of getting vulnerable to malwares / hacks etc.
I think smartphones are a bigger threat than PCs and laptops. People are less careful when they are on their phone. And they rarely use anti-virus or anti-malware software, ad blockers, etc., on the phone. Malicious links and spam spread through social media. The easy access to mobile apps is another potential problem. Most people download and install various apps and games without thinking about the consequences. There is now an app for almost everything you do online, and people use them rather than opening the browser and visiting the websites. The permissions you give these apps are worrying.   

You are right here but in most cases other than bitcoin, we do not have many choices to install the wallet on the computer. For example, one of the trusted wallet for storing bitcoin / Altcoins is Unstoppable Wallet and it does not have a desktop version. Also, another popular but closed source wallet is Trust Wallet and it also does not have any desktop app.

So, if the phones were so vulnerable, these wallet developers should also focus on developing the desktop versions too  Roll Eyes

The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team has been very good, as the Sri Lankan team has already lost three wickets. The Bangladesh team will be under a lot of pressure today because if they cannot occupy the 8th position in the points table, they will not be able to earn the right to play the championship later. So Sri Lankan team has to work hard to get this chance to win. The Sri Lankan team is not in a good place in terms of batting performance as they currently have 3 wickets down for 76 runs. If Bangladesh can keep the Sri Lankan team under pressure from the bowling side then surely the Sri Lankan team will not be able to score more runs. If Sri Lanka team can score 200 to 250 runs then Bangladesh team can definitely win.
Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl. Sri Lanka were all out for 279 in 49.3 overs. Charith Asalanka helped the team a lot with a great performance, he scored 108 runs off 105 balls. Sri Lanka's top order batting did not do much today, the middle order batsmen did well but Angelo Mathews was unfortunately timed out. Today Bangladesh need 280 runs from 300 balls to win, 280 runs is not very difficult to win in ODI format but very difficult for Bangladesh. Bangladesh's top order batsmen have to do well to win the match today. Let's see if Bangladesh can win by 280 runs today. But today the pitch seems to be batting friendly, but Bangladesh batting will actually become a bowling friendly pitch. I think Sri Lanka has more chances to win.
In this match, Bangladesh squad decide to fielding in crease and give chance to Sri Lanka start batting inning. This match just fulfill they formality of this tournament because both these squads already disqualify by losing five or six matches in previously. All squad of Sri Lanka got out at 279 scores by batting 49.3 overs. Tanzim Hasan Sakib bowler of Bangladesh squad collected three batters of Sri Lanka (Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Kasun Rajitha). Sri Lanka batter Charith Asalanka show their best effort for squad and made 108 scores off 105 balls. At present, Bangladesh squad is batting in crease and they made 90 scores with 16 overs. Hope Bangladesh squad defend this target of Sri Lanka 279 scores.

Today’s match created a history in 147 years of cricket, which is today we saw the first player who was out by timed out. The details of this thing are that Angelo Mathews said that his helmet was not perfect so please change his helmet then the Sri Lanka team changed the helmet but suddenly, Shakib Al Hasan asked to the umpire that 114 seconds had passed and the helmet had not come, and this is the rule of cricket that if the batsman is not ready in 114 seconds so other team captains complain to umpire and the batsman who did not come is considered as out and we saw the same thing in today’s match. This thing held for the first time in cricket history.

Not only 5 Indian bowlers but the whole Indian team is looking the best at the moment. Everyone in India, the spectators, the players, the management, the Indian cricket board and even the umpires want India to be the winner  Grin Grin


Yesterday was the match of India vs South Africa and South Africa lost the match in a very bad way. The team of South Africa played very well in whole tournament but they couldn't be played against India.

I think India winning reason is that India played in their home ground so they are confident and that's why India won their all match. Now the only one match of India is left and I know that the last match of India will also won by India easily because India's last match is played against the weakest Netherlands team.

The whole World Cup resolves around the India team. Now let's see what happens in the next match of India. The team of India always win all matches in ODI World Cup but they lost the Final or Semi Final, will it happen?

Well, dear, there are only a few matches left and the maximum anyone can go in the points numbering will be like 450 to 480 or so. But here is a twist.

The one-time predictions had way too many points, like a total of 800 points. So practically, it won't matter if you predict day to day matches correctly or not, if you are average on the day to day match predictions, you can still be on top if you can just get the one time predictions correctly. For example, just get two one time predictions correct, and you will get 400 points and you may be beating the current top positions.

Unfortunately I missed one time Prediction because my rank was low at the time when this contest started. My chances of winning is very low because if any member one time prediction correct then he will get 200 points. I wish South Africa win the match, De cok score high, jansen took more wicket and Fakhar hit most sixes because no one predicted these players.



Don't worry about that, even i have missed some of the predictions but we never know if we get right all of the remaining predictions we can be one of them getting the prizes, although getting a top prize is very difficult if you are not consistent at all during this campaign.

I was also in that 99% of people who lose hope, at the first when I saw the target cross over 400 I lost hope it was the first one in this match. And after the Pakistan inning start and when I saw the first wicked drop it was the second time I lost hope in the team. But that wicket is become good for the Pakistan team. When Fakhar Zaman started beating and the way he hit the balls I regained my hope that if they went the same through the same and did not drop any wickets then winning the match was confirmed. Baber also played well he stood on the wicket and saved it if one of them got out then they did not win this match but yeah we have another amazing player M. Rizwan who is also a skipper.

Pakistan team is an unbelievable team, they lost which they were about to win and they won which they were about to lose, the biggest example is yesterday's match. When the first innings ended so Pakistan fans lost their hope but they still watched and when Abdullah Shafique out in the second over so Pakistan was sure that they will lost the match but Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman built this hope again, and both players led Pakistan win.

Fakhar Zaman did a very great come back, he hit 18 sixes in just two innings and he replaced to Imam and Imam hit just 3 sixes in both 2019 and 2023  world cup overall. I don't know if they bought Fakhar Zaman late in the team as the chances of Pakistan proceeding further in the tournament is still slim.

Today is the match of South Africa vs India, and India will try their best to win this match and come back on the top spot. Today is the Sunday and is a holiday so many people will come to watch this match and 90% crowd will be Indian because India hosts this match, and today is the birthday of Virat Kholi so he will hope to make a big score because his fan’s waiting for his century on his birthday.
 
Virat Kholi also tries to make him not disappoint his fans and will make him happy by hitting a century and boundaries. Let’s see if will he make them happy and don't disappoint their crowd.

We are all going to be spectators of a high voltage important match. Today's match is very important for Pakistan as well as for New Zealand. New Zealand must win today's match to qualify for the semi-finals, just like Pakistan must win today's match to qualify. There is no option but to win today's match for both the teams.

Look like the first match today between New Zealand and Pakistan will be a semi-final for both teams. Anyone losing today will be out of this World Cup.
Even the 2nd match between England And Australia will be a good one. Australia would need to win this match in order to secure their future while England would be playing for their pride.

Pakistan are in a do or die situation against New Zealand, but a win would still not get them closer to the semifinals because their NRR sucks and they need to keep winning while New Zealand and Afghanistan should keep losing.

On the other hand, we have Australia who could get into trouble if they lose against England who can play freely with zero pressure since they are out.

Tomorrow is the match of Pakistan vs New Zealand, and Pakistan has a great advantage because Kane Williamson is injured, and many other players of New Zealand are also injured but I don’t agree that they play tomorrow’s match or not. But I heard that New Zealand five players are injured in the squad so they aren’t available for tomorrow’s match then reserved players are coming to play tomorrow’s match.

I again say that I don’t know if it is real or fake as I just heard it on social media, If you have any idea about them please correct me,
but if this thing is real then in tomorrow's match clearly the advantage will be with Pakistan.

Today is the match of Melbourne Renegades Women vs Perth Scorchers Women. This match should be won by Melbourne Renegades Women because this is the last chance for Melbourne Renegades Women to come back in the point table. Melbourne Renegades Women must win their all matches if they want to play the Semi-Final, but this is also important for Perth Scorchers Women to come in the three or two position in the point table of this big bash league.

Melbourne Renegades Women chose to bat first, which was a good decision because Women Melbourne Renegades Women had very good batswomen, as you can see in the match.

Even if Afghanistan wins today's match, it will not guarantee their place in the semi finals. After that Afghanistan has other two matches with Australia and South Africa, and they will have to win both these matches against tough opposition in order to secure their place in the semi final of the world cup.

Let's check the odds for today's match and see how bookies feel about the result of this match. Clearly, if you are to bet on this match, go with the Afghanistan team and be safe.


Afghanistan is strong side because of their batting and bowling unit. Netherlands is new and not so much experience in world cup cricket. Afghanistan played 6 matches so far in this world cup and they have win 3 match against world champions team England, Pakistan and Srilanka with 8 points and 6th postion on points tables. Netherlands aslo played 6 matches in this world cup they win only 2 match one against Top team South Africa and Second is against Bangladesh, they are 8th Positions in point tables. Winner of this match between Afghanistan and Netherlands will have more chances to qualify for Champion trophy.

The Netherlands team did not do well in the first twenty overs and I think that they will play the other overs as they played the last twenty overs. They lost five main wickets and their main batsman otherwise they are scored average but they couldn’t do a good score because they lost the batsman who played well now middle order batsman were started to come early which is not good.

The players of the Netherlands were out because of running between the wickets, which means running out. Max O'Dowd played very well but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He could have done something but he was out so the Netherlands’ chances to win this match went on low.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 02, 2023, 03:34:58 PM
SL all out for 55 and this win confirms the participation of India in semis. Should have given one more over to Shami instead of Jadeja, he could have added that last wicket to his account as well.
What a shamefull performance from the Sri Lanka team.  Even we will know that India is the  most favourite team in this  ICC men's world cup 2023  I wasn't thought that Sri Lanka will lose this  maths with this kind of big margin. Today Sri Lankan bowlers batted better than their batsmens. Anyway, India did their work as they are continuously doing in this series. Hats off to  Mohammed Shami and Muhammad Siraj  I also thought that Mohammad Sami gonna take the last wicket but it was filled by Rabindra Jadeja. Anyway congratulations to the Indian team for creating a record in this world cup series to go by such a huge margin
Such performance is possible only in Sri Lankan style. A total of 10 teams have participated in this World Cup, if compared among the 10 teams, the Netherlands will be the lowest but the performance of the Netherlands has not been so bad in any match. The worst experience of this World Cup tournament was between Sri Lanka and India. If 10 batsmen had scored 10 runs each, Sri Lanka's total would have been 100 but they only scored 55 runs which means Sri Lanka had to lose two wickets to score 10 runs against India. We never expect such a poor performance from Sri Lanka in such a big tournament. However, Sri Lanka's humiliating defeat against India today will be remembered for a long time.

From the previous matches, Mohammed Shami made a habit of doing five hauls in every match. Mohammed Siraj took an early wicket which helped to create confidence in Indian bowlers and Mohammed Shami was inspired by Mohammed Siraj so he took five wickets.

In the batting of Indian batsmen so in some matches, Rohit Sharma performs and if Rohit Sharma doesn't perform so Shubman Gill takes the responsibility of Rohit Sharma, this is called team work. The middle order of India also played very well, especially Virat Kholi, he was too near to a century, and he deserved to do a century but unlucky he was not able to hit a century. Nevertheless it was one of the biggest margin world cup win by India.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 02, 2023, 02:01:36 PM
The Sri Lankan batsmen are disoriented after coming down to bat against the target of 357 runs given by India. Sri Lanka's first sari batsmen went back to the dressing room helpless against the Indian bowlers. Sri Lanka's current score is seven runs for 4 wickets with 4 overs to play. Sri Lanka's current state of play looks like they will be all out within 100 runs. India bowler Mohammad Siraj is bowling brilliantly. 2023 World Cup The way India is playing this game, it seems that they will play the World Cup final. Both India's batting and bowling are very strong.
What the hell is going on with SriLanka team. They lost 4 wickets. By the way excellent bowling by Muhammed Siraj. He got 3 wickets. I don't think so the SriLanka will go above 50 runs. India confirmed its spot for Semifinal and the performance of India is showing that India will win the world cup. I know its too early to predict but the performance of India is showing everything.


What a massive wickets by Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. The Asia Cup final vibes are coming from Mohammed Siraj, as he took wickets in the final of the Asia Cup and the teams are also the same so history can repeat by itself.

This match must be won by Sri Lanka because this is the last chance to qualify in the Semi-Final otherwise, the hopes for winning the trophy will be finished for Sri Lanka. Almost 10 overs were passed and they couldn’t touch thirty scores and the target that India gave was also very high (over 350+ runs ) so you can say that Sri Lanka is out of the tournament.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 02, 2023, 06:50:41 AM
Today is the match of India vs Sri Lanka. Indian team is more confident because they are already qualified for the Semi-Final, and they both were met in the final of the Asia Cup which was won by India and India won that match easily, as they bowled to Sri Lanka batsman, and India also won 2011 ICC World Cup against Sri Lanka, meanwhile whenever they both team meet in final so always victory goes to India but today is not a final match so let’s see what happens.

India is much stronger than Sri Lanka to play this match. The crowd of India are also excited for this match and they will be supporting India with full enthusiam and pride. It may be another difficult day for the Sri Lanka team.
