So, to summarize: You took players' money, went quiet for 4 months, blame someone else and say you're going to pay back the money you took. Question: where is the refund money supposed to come from? Question: why announce after 4 months that you're going to announce something in a few days? Couldn't you wait a few more days and just announce it without pre-announcing whatever it is you'll come up with? Dear users and friends,
We are writing to inform you of the status of Betnomi and our commitment to fully refunding all user balances.
In June, we faced significant internal challenges related to the company's long-term financial outlook and ownership structure. To address these issues, we temporarily suspended operations and initiated a restructuring process with a focus on long-term profitability. During this time, it became clear that continuing to work with the existing owners was no longer viable, and we terminated the partnership.
Unfortunately, following this decision, certain individuals engaged in backroom deals to extract Betnomi's intellectual property and resources for the purpose of launching a new casino independently. These actions resulted in significant damage to Betnomi and its users. Critical system resources were restricted, and the database became inaccessible, preventing users from withdrawing their balances.
We have since learned that our database was compromised and potentially sold to another casino platform that falsely claimed Betnomi had rebranded. We are pursuing legal action against this entity.
Fortunately, we have successfully retrieved a backup of our database and are working with regulators to develop a plan for fully refunding all users. This plan will be announced in the coming days.
Due to several legal actions that are pending against those who stole our intellectual property and those who wrongfully gained access to our systems and falsely claimed to be associated with us. The outcome and duration of these cases are uncertain. Therefore, we have decided to permanently cease operations and stop using the Betnomi brand in our best interests.
Over the past two years, we have developed our own casino software, risk management engine, and other valuable intellectual property worth millions of dollars. We intend to leverage this expertise to rebuild a stronger brand in the future.
We will provide an update on our reimbursement plan and schedule as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding. (full quote added as reference)

Yes, your feedback at that time was accurate. We don't argue. But now everything has changed, and we just asked to edit the message in view of the current state of the service. My feedback has a time stamp. If I ever need to update it, I'll add another one. we didn't lie to you and all the users of the forum. First of all, we lied to ourselves You're not making this any better.... Or, and that's my bet, you don't own 56 BTC, which makes this an exit scam waiting to happen. And we are ready to eradicate this doubt. Many refer to you so that we sign bitcoins for you. And as we answered above, we are ready for it. Great! Sign a message proving you owned 56 Bitcoin on April 15, 2023. And, assuming the funds have moved, even better if you sign another message proving you still own those funds. If you do, I'll confirm ownership in this topic without posting any addresses. Feel free to PM me (but know that Cloudflare can read this), or send an end-to-end encrypted email to my Protonmail. We are ready to sign a message about the availability of reserves not only to LoyceV. We also give you the right to choose one more trusted forum member whom you prefer for this purpose. This makes no sense. Anyone who trusts me, would trust my word for it. Anyone who doesn't trust me, also wouldn't trust whoever I pick. So I'm not picking anyone.

Message:I am Bender Bending Rodriguez, from the year 3030. This is my very first post on this forum. I come here to say hello, and more importantly: the value of BTC is 293,090.2 USD on November 19, 3030. I am staking this BTC address (with the help of Electrum) here to prove to Philip J. Fry that I can travel alone in time. Anyone for a beer? Address:1Byjt1SvTwZXR1Vs9DP8c1hGb352DDwNYu Signature:H01zFDTzm3R3FUPVSsNsQy86W+Z0As/2n9+p5NjB68yqCwkMTsDLe+K8WtKUsZfYhC4ZrCix4fRmsTRh9iV+kT4= You're a funny guy ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Have another quote, I've verified your signed message. Now, about that beer: to verify you are who you say you are, please meet me at Weihenstephan Abbey to celebrate it's 1500 th birthday in the year 2540.

I’ve never contacted anyone about you ever You may want to check your forum PM Outbox at November 19, 2019, 06:29:27 PM (Amsterdam time). Switzerland what are you cooking? - the fire was already down. If facts can fuel the fire, it was never down. I'm sending LoyceV all the communications since he is level headed, neutral and trustworthy That was interesting to read. Theymos sent 500 btc to several members - they all stole the coins and vanished. All this happened before I joined the forum, but as far as I know, some got 250 Bitcoin. I've read stories about the forum treasurer who died, after which his 250 started moving. As far as I know that was the only one who "disappeared". OGNasty, working with Theymos, gave them back because he is able to scam more here. Unlikely. I'm pretty sure he knew stealing 500 Bitcoin would have gotten him caught, so there's no point in doing it. Theymos decided to remove OG as the last treasurer, and add him into a multi sig agreement. He still gets paid with tax free money, but not as much as he did before. This archive from 2016 shows "Rassah" holding 750 Bitcoin. At the end of 2021, OgNasty was no longer listed. I know nothing about US taxes. Here, if I'd get paid for "guarding money", it's my own responsibility to report it to taxes. That would also mean no third party would know whether or not I pay my taxes.

This is what I would use to quickly check millions of addresses: How to useThe most likely use is to check a long list of Bitcoin addresses for a remaining balance. On Linux, use this to find matching addresses (after extrating the compressed .gz file of course): comm -12 Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt <(cat mylist.txt | sort | uniq) - Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt: the extracted latest version downloaded from addresses.loyce.club.
- mylist.txt: your own list of addresses, one address per line.
This takes only seconds to check millions of addresses. This is not faster than 46 seconds (as you have to download a huge file)... and the data might not be updated. Three things: 1. The server can spit out that file within 46 seconds ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) 2. OP mentioned "bulk", and I don't consider his 100 address test to be bulk. 3. The data is updated daily. I assume OP is trying to brute-force Bitcoin addresses, in which case that doesn't matter. Even if it takes a few minutes to download, after that you can check billions of addresses per hour.
@OP: what are you trying to accomplish?

How about Silver005? Ledger wallets use a unique key generation process that creates a pair of private and public keys. The private key is used to sign transactions, while the public key is used to verify transactions. The keys are generated using a random number generator and a master seed phrase, which is a unique combination of words that is used to generate the keys. The keys are never transmitted to the blockchain or any other third party, and they are stored on the Ledger device itself. This ensures that only the user has access to their private key, and no one else can sign transactions on their behalf.
To understand how this process works in more detail, it's helpful to first understand a little bit about how Bitcoin transactions work. When you want to send Bitcoin, you use your private key to sign a transaction with the recipient's public key. This transaction is then broadcast to the Bitcoin network, where it is verified by a group of computers known as miners. Once the transaction is verified, it is added to the blockchain, which is a public ledger of all Bitcoin transactions. The miners are rewarded for verifying transactions with a small amount of Bitcoin. I've reported this post and left a neutral tag. I didn't check further, but I guess he has more AI plagiarism spam posts.

I tested one few years ago, but it was a bit more loud for my taste. It's not really a budget option yet, but fanless laptops exist! It's kinda funny how it took 40 years to go back to what " home computers had in the 80's. To complete the reversal, there are now phones with fans too ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) From my experience, many low-power (in watts, not in processing speed) laptops are completely quiet nowadays, unless they're under heavy load and need forced cooling. So after the IDB, adding 6 blocks per hour on an SSD should be quiet.

The first picture above shows how the value of 5,250,000 FTX Token supposedly in the insurance fund was "calculated". It wasn't. It was just coded in. insuranceFund.size = 5250000 FTT. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The second picture above shows how the value of USD in the insurance fund was "calculated". The daily trading volume on FTX was multiplied by a random number, and this was used to adjust the insurance fund to a new size. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) To me, this looks like a bunch of nerds IT guys who got in over their head after attracting much more money than they can handle. It looks like they're still just kidding around, without realizing there are real-life consequences to what they're doing.

Loyce, can you go through a users' post history in some cases, or do you only accept links to posts? And i have many good posts i want to 'report' here, but most of them have been merited. Make it easy on me, post links (to posts) here. I can find post histories on my own, but don't have the time to read that many posts.

Damn LoyceV, You did not notice the plagiarism here. Sorry, I missed this one. That explains why he posted " he needs 15 more". I thought referring to himself as "he" was just his lack of English skills.

We kindly ask the following users to correct their early comments/notes in view of the current state of the service: @LoyceV My feedback was accurate, and my neutral feedback on your profile stays. There's nothing to "correct". You're in the trust business. You lied, I'll never trust you.

Suggestion: in the image generated in "local to btc", there should be a small line underneath, saying the day/time that the value was updated. But that doesn't make sense, because every new load makes a printout of the current value. I like the suggestion. Updates can fail for many reason, including browser cache. It would only make sense if you kept the page open without refreshing, and that sounds useless. I do this all the time ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) The main point of the tool was to quote the value of BTC whenever a page is loaded Here's another idea: make the price-image an animated GIF. First, show the current price. After 10 minutes, show "price expired" (and keeep that frame for 10 years).

How do I know the the fee set by my wallet? Any decent wallet would show you the transaction fee before sending. You should stop using Trust wallet and switch to for instance Electrum. I have the $6 in my wallet and haven't made any transaction before in that wallet just a newly created wallet Using dollars ("$6") doesn't mean anything for on-chain Bitcoin transactions. Think in Bitcoin ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) In Bitcoin, it's currently impossible to send such small amounts. For further reading, I created a topic about small inputs years ago: [Nov 2023] Fees are high, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs. The moment transaction fees required to send your input are higher than the input itself, your input is basically worthless. Don't give up on it though, just wait for fees to get lower again. I think I have stated it already in my topic that it's trust wallet The name of that wallet is so generic, it's easy to overlook you actually mean a wallet.

A special note: I am now concerned about the BPIP project. He owns this project. BPIP ownership was transfered to ibminer and suchmoon years ago. Can anyone tell confidently that he did not put a simple code and storing everyone browsing information including the IPs? Ibminer can probably tell you this. The default of any web server is keep access logs (for a while). What guarantee we have that your, mine and others who used BPIP, our browsing history are not going to be used against us? None. Use Tor if you're worried about your browsing history.

Has anyone tried Xfce? I've always used this environment, it is the one used by the super lightweight distros, should be the less fancier and thus snappier one. I didn't like Xfce much. I like a menu bar at the full bottom of my screen, some shortcut icons on the left, active programs in the middle, and some status icons on the right. I had to check what I'm currently using: Marco (MATE) window manager, with Clearlooks Appearance (and some customizations). I want my active window to have a clear different color from anything on the background (which is rare nowadays). After disabling all animations, I don't think it's very resource demanding (and my laptop is quite old).

I was asking that question in regards to Vod's claim of mismanagement/embezzlement of forum donations. I wasn't around when the old members made their (now enormous) donations to bitcointalk, so I didn't know if Theymos or whoever was soliciting those donations said that the funds were going to be used for any specific purpose. There's this: I have pledged to invest all after-expenses BTC-denominated forum profit back into the forum or the community.

But I think this is a communicated reasons which I don't understand. Since the occurrence of this issue their have not been any transaction history on my trust wallet. My balance on trust wallet still intact, but if I go through the trust wallet check explorer I can see the details of the transaction. And I noticed not quite long that the transaction have been confirmed but my balance on trust wallet is still intact which I tried to send the bitcoin to the suppose address I wanted to send it to and it went through. It sounds like you need to stop using "Trust wallet" and start using a wallet that doesn't do unexplainable things. And since you've copied your seed phrase into 3 different wallets already, it's probably better to create a new wallet and move your funds there.

I might do that, unless you or someone else can give me some real arguments and examples how current DT system is making positive changes in forum. I don't really see the need to convince you. I'm okay with the current system, it's not perfect, and I sometimes don't like that my own Trust view is different from DT, but it works (more or less). If it doesn't work for you, that's totally fine too.
