Proceeds of crime normally get seized by the government in North America and Europe. They're just treating bitcoin as a standard asset (which is pretty good).

One of the problems wuth the Silk Road one though was that they sold it for 75% of its value from what I remember which was a bit strange/problematic as it could've caused a dump...

Is thee an unsubscribe link at the bottom? I think I received 3 emails in 3 weeks and 2 were identical in subject.

They could do with sticking to notifying us about "competition" stuff and features through the app. Some of their info about conferences might be interesting to people still then as well.

I'm thinking this could be a "distributed luck" strategy.

Make x3/6 miners mine the next block as it's selected algorithmically (based off fees).
Make x2/6 miners mine a block we've put together randomly.
Make x1/6 miners mine an empty block to see if we can push that out (it'd realistically be a lot lower than 1/6 because difficulty is a lot lower for smaller blocks afaik since there's only one hash to compute - I *think*).

I think the more transactions there are in the mempool the more the fee has less to do with what gets confirmed by these pools (unless the fee is very high or very low).

When determining the security of a technology that has already made it into mainstream media, USE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO DETERMINE HOW SECURE IT IS, OFFICIAL GIT ISSUES, OR VERIFIABLE ALGORITHMIC PROOF.

Using a random news source to find out how transactions can be "forfeited" isn't a great idea especially when it mentions transactions being forfeited.

I'm pretty sure a lot of sites like BBC news were reporting on the chain attacks in 2015 -  rely on those when measuring SECURITY of a new innovative tool.

If the FBI has an idea of something HALF OF THE senior ATTACKERS HAVE ALREADY DONE IT.

It's quite an old trading strategy and seems to be one that works a while.

I remember at $3k the only thing I was certain of was that we'd reach $15k again (because we already had).

I actually predicted the coronavirus drop but moved my x btc@$4k order (disappoinringly).

How often do you check the charts? Id probably have an alert set for when we're oversold so I could sell my btc at the first peak (~58-62k instead). But profit is still profit. Do you make much off your fiat when you pull it out (interest wise - binance were offering 6% on euros a while ago)?

I think it was mostly mining in the USA that was cheaper to do with pollutant energy sources. Most other counties where mining is possible (Canada, China, Iceland, Norway) were generally using mostly renewable resources instead.

It's a good move though even if it is omnlu $14m.

I've been looking at how much better companies manage to do when they go public and coinbase should be an interesting one to watch..

Are you expecting a dot after "interfaces"? That's the only part of it I can think it's a bit inconsistent...

I don't know if something like this needs reporting but it's potentially a reason to get rid of unnecessary punctuation.

Go to binance and press deposit to get your deposit address.

Do a normal withdrawal from coinbase (as you would to send to a wallet) and put in the deposit address they gave you from the previous step.

Electrum is pretty good with large transactions. I haven't tried with mycelium but I got btc every day from a miner last year and consolidated 360 transactions in one ~90MB transaction and it did pretty well handling that.

I'd suggest trying, if you can, to sweep your transaction offline and broadcast it online when you're happy with the transaction you've made - but a qr code can't be used in this case because of the transaction size.

Are you able to do multiple transactions or is everything in one private key? If you have any more bitcoin - eg 0.1 (something big enough for an attacker to care about) - I'd recommend putting it on your normal computer to test its security and leave it there for about a month to check it's stayed.

Binance lists volume increase near its top gainers. I'm not sure how accurate this is as it looks like it's saying bnb's volume is up 20500% (assuming the comma isn't a decimal place).

I assume other exchanges and coin market cap have similar if they've enough coins to do this with.

I kept rebalancing until this year (decided my crypto means more to me if I withdraw a bit in physical cash) so I'm 89.17% crypto, the rest is stocks and a tiny amount of cash.

I did start off with a 30:70 split crypto to stocks in 2019 - I think.

I'll rebalance again when (or if) we hit $300k.

If you check responses here as well as your form, I used to buy stuff from places like scan.co.uk and I've bought games from steam when they both accepted bitcoin. Scan's payment processor, however, now requires kyc verification and I haven't looked back a tusing them since (it was more convenient and seemed nicer than using a card but the additional legislation now puts a barrier on the entry - especially if you have to wait a while for it to be checked).

Have you been leaving it running or just opening it when you want to send a transaction?

I think this is a problem with your node building and downloading a route to use.

Are you connected via tor fine (assuming it's still forcing tor use in 4.1.2) - with it running in the background i mean.

Are you talking about an altcoin bounty program you've tried to join using someone else's info or something else?

If it's the former (first), can you not just delete the post and if necessary DM the manager?

If your node remains online then you're contributing your channel funds to help route other people's transactions. The more channels you have open the more routing you can do also.

If you're not keeping your node onoine then you're going to have to start it at least as often as the timelock runs out for the channel (you can verify this number from its stats). If you don't put your channel back online before this time is up, there's a chance the other party can claim your funds afaik.

Is there a chance you sent a smaller amount this time or they've send a payment somewhere since you originally tried?

It could just have been a node between you both was down but if it wasn't, it's probably related to this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329718.msg56752057#msg56752057 - they might not have had enough receive capacity.

Yes and no.

A token is a coin that doesn't have an independent chain normally - it can represent ownership of something (often a protocol).

A coin is something with its own dedicated blockchain.

The idea of bat being a token could indicate they wanted to add more tokens or have done. Expecially considering its called basic attention token, there might be a high attention token or active attention token (eg the app games you get) in the works when they originally came out with it or they wanted to leave room for something like that to be a thing.

Yes, you should be able to find out if the site is regulated by checking the gambling commission's website.

If you sell your initial funds back for a profit, you'll have to pay capital gains on that though.

There's a part of the transactions called an rbf flag (replace by fee). You can check any transaction on a blockchain explorer and it'll normally say if this flag is on or off (I think blockchain.com has it but blockchair definitely does).. This is the flag that allows someone to double spend a tx but there are other way to double spend it - they're just more complex and might not be what a scammer knows about.

If you're trading higher amounts, 1 confirmation might not be as good as 3 or 6 and if you're agitated by waiting that long - you should probably be using a centralised exchange.

There's a chance you've made a capital gain on your crypto and this is directly dependent on if you've sold any.

Gambling profits aren't taxable though, you're right on that one so you don't need to declare those events. Just anything you've gained by selling crypto back to cash (up to the equivelant amount of what you bought in crypto value).
