Ahh, now that's more interesting, although I can't think of anything worse than having to cut 128 boards all of slightly different but very specific lengths. Only 128 planks? I was thinking of 256 (+1). But you can of course use the bottom for data storage too. And given that in any random 128 bit number you are highly likely to have at least seven 0s or seven 1s in a row, then you are going to end up with a highly uneven fence which would just annoy me every time I saw it.  Here, people manage to sell their lack of craftsmanship as a style, so the totally uneven fence doesn't have to have small differences. It can be huge gaps. Another suggestion would be different colors of tiles on your floor, bathroom or kitchen walls, etc. Bonus is that they are not going to be at far less risk of damage, and they can't be viewed by anyone walking or driving past your house. The problem is that my wife will want to decide on the colors, and it's not going to be random. And if I let my daughter have her way, we'll end up with a pink house. |

most of them start thread about "my first bitcoin purchase" i convinced my dad to invest in bitcoin, "bitcoin is life", etc. which is mostly a waste of time for good posters. Says the guy who created 6 topics in 2 hours. |

Bitcointalk use CloudFlare and i use Tor Browser to visit this forum while rarely asked to solve captcha with 2 exception,
1. Captcha at login page which intentionally added by admin.
2. When i click "All" page. Doesn't this get much worse when Cloudflare goes into "full DDOS protection"? Without Tor, I also get the "Checking connection" page when I click "All". But when Cloudflare is going nuts, I get that page a lot more. |

Now to the flaw of LoyceV's proposed storage method. There's a not so small risk that some idiot in a car or other vehicle runs into your fence and destroys a good portion of it. Some jerks could break some of your planks just for the fun of it (there are mad people out there, sometimes). You can continue to imagine all sorts of dangers to your fence. Did you implement some error correction planks that can cope with real life? I thought I covered that when I mentioned backups: You can easily create a backup by taking some family pictures in the garden. Or just duplicate the exact same fence pattern elsewhere. You now need a vacation home too. I'm certain Loyce is joking, but if we're being this critical then the main flaw is that it's not actually random. Given that all your boards are going to vary around a mean height, then whenever you move in one direction the next step is statistically more likely to move in the opposite direction. You're assuming I'm using the existing fence as a source of randomness. I was thinking of creating the random string first, and then using a new fence to store the bits. While you're at it, you can do a similar thing with bricks in your wall  |

(I'm also looking forward to trying my luck with the 2BTC bounty that Stunna left open.)  When the bounty was doubled, it was worth about $1000. When the topic was created, Bitcoin was worth twice as much (and I think the bounty was 1 BTC back then). There are more forgotten topics with high Bitcoin amounts, but still, $1000 would be nice too |

Wouldn't a much better solution be if your computer doesn't do anything without your approval? I know USB is designed to be "Universal" and "plug and play", but it's much safer if your computer doesn't start anything when a connection is made. Manually mount a drive when you need one. Isn't this a movie thing? Someone plugs in an USB stick, and all data on the screen starts animating towards the stick I still prefer to stop physical access at a much larger scale, for instance with a lock on a door. Once they've gained access to your computer, you're kinda too late already. This is the best method, but I prefer to have a port for an SD card or even a USB. Sometimes, there is a need to transfer PSBT files, or there are large signatures for which a QR code cannot be created due to the lack of enough space.
This is the first time I am hearing about this because QR code has not failed me before. What do you mean by large signature? QR-codes are limited in size: A QR code is capable of encoding a maximum of 2953 bytes of data, 4296 alphanumeric characters, 7089 numeric characters, or 1817 Kanji characters (character set according to JIS X 0208). Any half decent BIOS password can't be reset (anymore) by removing the battery. Keep in mind most of these are going to be on older machines so we are not taking 2023, but 2016.... I thought resetting passwords by removing the CMOS batteries was something from last century. Was thinking about it a bit and actually came up with one very small possible use for it. To prevent people from doing something stupid.
i.e. you have a PC at your house that others (spouse, kids, whoever) have access to. If the you have no use for USB ports but don't want to shut them down in BIOS but don't want the risk of someone plugging something in then these things would work. If the separation between users on your OS is so crappy you have to worry about hardware being added, there's a much bigger risk coming from anything they download from the internet. |

if in the next cycle I hypothetically wanted to pay for something worth $2,000 I guess there won't be much difference between 1 and 4 inputs as far as fees are concerned either, no? How do you see it? I wouldn't count in dollars, but in Bitcoins. And I remember the days in 2017 when each (legacy) input added about 1 m BTC to the total fee. No matter what the Bitcoin price is, that's a lot, and 1 or 4 inputs would make a huge difference. My take: It's a lot like cash money: $5 is convenient to buy a coffee, but it gets annoying already to pay for groceries for the week. Paying with a $10,000 bill would raise questions, and I wouldn't want the barista to know I own those ancient bills. So a bit of everything works for me. Disclaimer: I've never seen a $10,000 bill. I do own a $10 bill though. |

The best solution would be to switch to a dedicated server/VPS. But, to maintain the same characteristics, it would cost twice as much. A dedicated server is indeed quite expensive, but a VPS shouldn't have to be. You're not using much bandwidth and storage, and I assume the CPU usage isn't that much either. |

Does anyone know what will happen if I deposit coins on blockchain.com wallet and then I receive a message that my funds are locked? A wallet gives you access to your own private keys. That means a wallet can't lock your funds (other than doing it yourself, like clicking "Lock unspent" in Bitcoin Core). So if blockchain.com can lock your funds, it's not a "wallet". It's a custodial (or exchange). Know the difference, and use a real wallet so you don't have to worry about this. |

How do I get the private key to an address? This is one of the most noticeable differences. With descriptor wallets, you cannot export the private key for one address. This is because a child private key combined with the parent public key can be used to compute the parent private key (and hence all other child private keys). This is a risk inherent in BIP 32's unhardened derivation. As such, descriptor wallets disallow the export of child private keys in order to mitigate the risk of accidentally exposing the parent private key. Wouldn't it have been a much better choice to use hardened derivation? But you shouldn't be exporting individual private keys anyways. The wallet does not use just one private key, so having an individual child private key is really not that useful. I can think of something: I once needed to (quickly) use CPFP, but Bitcoin Core's GUI didn't allow me to use an unconfirmed input from a third party, so I exported the private key and imported it into Electrum. I guess I'll have to give up my non-HD-wallet eventually, but I don't like it. Importing a private key is so much easier in a non-descriptor wallet. |

Perhaps in the future, changes in this regard may arise, if community support continues to be felt, and which could allow for a greater investment. I don't think this is something that should require a larger investment, but I wouldn't know how to solve it in your case. Loyce.club is now behind AWS' Cloudforce (after the DDOS it received a while ago), and it still works in Tor browser without problems. My other data is still without any DDOS protection. As theymos wrote: The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive... Maybe a .onion domain would work for TalkImg? I wouldn't know how to set it up for you though. |

The moment I read this: get rewarded with the Presearch decentralized search engine, powered by blockchain technology. I know it's not worth it. There's absolutely no reason to add a blockchain to a search engine, and adding "tokens" trying to monetize is something I've seen thousands of times. |

"Amount and status of transactions" therefore includes all your transactions and balances. To be fair: that kinda comes with relying on a centralized server. The moment you connect to an Electrum server, the server also knows all this information about you. Of course, they shouldn't be keeping this information after you disconnect, but then they wouldn't have bragging rights of "securing" 20% of all crypto assets. |

The delete option I think is allowed but editing all posts and changing it to just X or anything I think it should be not allowed I'm pretty sure this falls under rule #1: 1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. @SwayStar123: at least move those useless topics to the Archival board. Or click "Report to Moderator" yourself, so they can be deleted. |

I tried to reproduce uploading fillippone's large image, but I got another problem:  Can you create a " captcha bypass code" (like the forum)? |

I always thought that when a user is Nuked, this is similar to someone being permanently banned except that the whole post history is wiped off Correct. But it's like BPIP.org does not record this type of ban. Is it bug? My guess: BPIP hasn't scraped modlog yet, and this user was Nuked only recently. If you check someone from the bottom of modlog, BPIP shows the profile was Nuked. |

They deserve bankruptcy! You don't go from "the seed phrase never leaves the device" to "oh yeah it's fine we'll keep your seed for you" without consequences.

theymos has the most of the BTC and as per LoyceV's Post, which I stated above, theymos has around 755 BTC on that address. What are you up to? If only you would have checked that address, you would have seen it's empty. You're quoting old data and taking it out of context. Either way, the post you linked was about forum funds, not theymos' personal funds. Forum funds are still public knowledge, personal funds are, you guessed it: personal. If you want to dig theymos' financials, at least make it fun: My 0.003 trades were actually below the market rate of the time, and may in fact be the lowest-value BTC trades ever. I had measured that it only cost me 0.0007 USD per BTC in electricity (at 7.8 difficulty), so 0.003 seemed sufficient to me... |
