2501  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Android app - bitcoins received but not visible on: March 14, 2021, 06:32:03 PM
Can you screenshot your "addresses" tab? I don't understand how you have a 3-type address in electrum rather than a bc1-type one...

Have you got a link to the app you foenapoded from the play store (use the "my apps" part on the menu).

Have you got electrum on any other device or just your mobile? How safe is your phone, have you got a lot of apps downloaded on it?

Smerit is "sendable merit" on the forum and is merit that is able to be spent on other users' posts that you think are good quality.

You'll find a "+merit" button on posts and can press that to award a user with merit.

You can't award more than 50 at once and there's a limit of 50 per user per month.

You get 0.5 smerit for every merit you recieve but they'll only come in whole numbers. (so 1 smerit for every 2 merit you recieve).

I made a thread on this a while ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285003.msg55471258#msg55471258

You could also just write down you seed and leave a note to give it to someone who'll understand what to do with it - or give them instructions and ensure they are literate enough to follow them...
2504  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Coinbase to Samouri Issue? on: March 14, 2021, 03:07:03 AM
No a "confirmed transfer" is confirmed in the middle of the send and receive stages so it can't confirm on either end without being confirmed on the other.

Are you fully connected on the samouri wallet? Is there a way to import a transaction there and have you noted down anything you may need to recover it (eg a 12-24 word nmemonic phrase). If you have got the wallet for a reliable place then you should be fine.

Check for a sync function or network settings to see if you can connect to a different server - after restarting the wallet if you can.
2505  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why 21 Million? Why that number? on: March 12, 2021, 01:35:45 PM
It's probably just arbitrary, why not 21 million? 21 is an often used example in educating people on cryptography as its devisible by two simple prime numbers (3 and 7).

21 million may be the population of a few states, countries or areas too (only one I can think of is scandinavia).

It's likely that he designed the mining rewards algorithm and that just generated the number from that (just below the 21 million).

2508  Economy / Speculation / Re: If this $64 billion ETF approved, Bitcoin could surpass above $60,000 on: March 11, 2021, 10:57:17 PM
According to coinmarketcap btcs volume today was around 6
$60bn so a new etf might make the price move. There are already quite a lot of etfs though, but new ones might be good for decentralisation.


(im not sure if some smaller etfs or ones that don't get much publicity just disappear though - I've seen a few go).
2509  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: URGENT - Does The Payment Request Expire Or The Address Itself? on: March 11, 2021, 06:58:43 PM
Yeah like above. Addresses can't and don't expire.

Invoices can expire but sometimes that isn't checked (the time is more so electrum can forget the invoice after expiry if payment isn't received).

How can you tell? In the range of 99% of people who visit the medical would have been fine without the visit by using a little common sense about their malady. In fact, many of those people were persuaded into some kind of procedure that harmed them more than they would have been helped if they had done nothing. When you consider the millions of people who die under doctors' care, and the $billions of dollars they pay the doctors to die, it's turning out that the enemy is really the medical.


If you're in a private system then this really is something I can't argue with. Overprescription and over attendence seems problematic, I've heard annocdotes of people coming to the UK and Scandinavia and using the socialised services and being surprised when a cold/sore throat is prescribed a hot beverage, a bath and rest. Rather than the US where you're probably at the very least sold antibiotics which will do nothing more than a placebo.

(I can't obviously call any system perfect as none are but some seem better than others in certain aspects). Don't bring up cancer rates though - there is a problem with thinking you can cure everything at home.

Not sure on the qualifications for "real man" so I may have broken your rule Grin.


1. The coin with the biggest community will win (in a programming sense and mining/usage).

2. If the government made a crypto they'd get a lot of problems from it. Do you make it identify everyone and kill the Black Market? Or have they accepted black market trades may have a positive impact on the economy for them to just all go. Most companies price things off the price they were when the bought it, a supermarket could therefore use the bitcoin price from the week previous for selling foods and other stuff. I thought it was South and central American nations beginning to look at crypto. I think a lot of people in the EU could buy and use it if simplified though - there are a lot of etfs.

3 legitimate Icos use one address only so you may be able to trace it back to thst (this was just the ico I was in and I only did my first ico about 6 days ago).

2512  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: De-Fi Protocol Failures Questions on: March 10, 2021, 12:42:00 AM
All th stablecoins seem to keep changing value. Atm I think dai was 99 cents when I last checked it (in comparison with usdt). I'm not sure what caused the divergence though since it was over a cent ahead for a while.

Smart contracts are dependent on the ethereum network also at the moment. There are plans to build converters and projects working on it that may allow for currencies to be converted if a chain dies.
2513  Other / Politics & Society / Re: #SuperStraight on: March 09, 2021, 10:26:21 PM
So how does it work, do you ask for a birth certificate before engaging into any kind of coupling?
This is the bit I find weird. If I find someone attractive I'm going with that.
Do people of the 36+ sexes out there that have always existed have to declare that on the first date (as soon as you meet them)? (eg it's possible for the dna for testes to be added to the end of an X chromsome.




I'm glad the topic was made here by someone tbh. Most of the people arguing about this on tiktok are likely minors who haven't fully developed much of an understanding. And tbh I felt the same about 6 months ago in case someone wanted to have kids or something (but that's kinda been turned into something that's ableism by some parts of the community).

But isn't it just another confusion for the mass, like what if he is "Super straight" and mistakenly had sex with a transwoman, then just knows afterwards that and became homophobic after. Isn't he become only "Straight" as he is now known to be transphobic/homophobic because of the incident?

This looks like sexual assault at the very least it feels iffy.


What do YOU think?


I think we are now experiencing the peak of the socialist/liberal insanity and they won't stop till they fuck us all in the ass.

That isn't socialism or the American definition of liberalism either. A socialist ideology seeks to level everyone and is so far functioning well enough to have only one country still using it (North Korea).
I'd like to say we're making progress in equality in this world but we're really not... Taking a different name and gender on paper might be a great way to reduce the pay gap (7% of ceos of the top 100 companies are women, in the S&P500 it's about 14%). I think people have also been hammering into people for too long that they're being discriminated against to a point where they're beginning to accept nothing will ever change...

the patriarchy is and was the worst thing to happen to capitalism the idea of men inheriting everything gives them as little to hope for as it does women being told they don't have a place in business. I don't want inefficiency when I can have innovation.
2514  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin mining in Texas - new trend - will Tesla follow on: March 09, 2021, 11:43:13 AM

Elon has a lot of things on his hands and I think that he will be having a hard time juggling all the work for his current companies. I don't know why would he will be choosing Texas though, I don't live in the USA but the only thing that I can think that is the advantage of living or setting up business in Texas is that it is a midway between East Coast and West Coast, the only problem with the current usage of renewable energy source is that they need a huge amount of land to cover to get an efficient harvest of power.

I thought texas was one of the biggest states and one of the cheapest states to buy a lot of land also?



Bitdeer look to have been in texas a while before now also. I think vitamin are still busy trying to not be affiliated with the ccp or look controlled by them (as they've opened mining facilities in Europe and now the US).

Would be great if Elon could made some green technology like his solar panel that could somehow helps these miners saving on electricity meanwhile switching over to green energy.
But honestly when it comes to mining like this I'd expect tesla to be the last company to invest into such thing, even when they bought btc back then many investors opposes so I doubt they gonna venture to mining like this.

It'd be much more valuable to snap up the means of production (the power stations).

I don't think Elon can do much more than throw money at projects and researchers and hope they work though...
2515  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 94 year old healthy woman gets the vaccine. on: March 09, 2021, 02:01:00 AM
There so many pages here but if you're still keeping track of this, in March for the past 5 years 8000-12000 people die a week. A high number of them are likely old people so many people may have had the vaccine and subsequently died of something unrelated (because that's what happens when you give a vaccine to someone with a 1 in 3 chance of dying per year they're alive - in their 90s).

@badecker, as someone who's had covid, that can also fuck up a lot of shit. How do we know the vaccine isn't safer than the virus with infection likely being inevitable for most people? Both the virus and the vaccine infect everyone with a very similar thing, the difference is one doesn't multiply rapidly (or at all).

2517  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Scientists at Sloan Kettering discover mRNA ... can promote cancer on: March 08, 2021, 03:54:58 PM
What sort of cancer does the article mention?

Cancer is normally caused by incorrect cell division that cuts certain strands of dna out (the division can only occur in the nucleus of a cells).

The mRNA doesn't enter the nucleus of the cell and remains in the cytoplasm.

50% of people who get the vaccines will get cancer. 50%.of people who don't get the vaccines will also get cancer...

You can't make a blanket statement about all mRNA vaccines as they're all different in composition and focus on different structural aspects of the coronavirus.
2518  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Operation Hidden Treasure on: March 08, 2021, 03:05:36 PM
It's taking them a long time to "get ahead of the game".

I know companies that have actively been trying to spot tax evasion on crypto since 2017 and before, getting to it in 2021 is kinda lazy.

The IRS has also changed its mind on how crypto should be taxed too at least once since its inception and make minor changes that people probably shouldn't be assumed to be able to keep track of (it'd be useful if governments sent out newsletters when laws change as the news don't want to cover it)...
2519  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Adding passphrase to trezor is essential on: March 08, 2021, 10:48:50 AM
The size of password you can use on a trezor is limited so that's a bit annoying atm.

"how to choose a strong password - computerphile" is the best I've seen so far on YouTube for creating a password with good strength (choosing 4 random words through a series of dice throws).
2520  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Best wallet on: March 07, 2021, 11:53:02 AM
Are you alright with security? Eg not forgetting passwords (writing them down is fine).

If so I'd suggest a wallet like electrum which means you control your coins fully.

If not you could go with a web exchange who may be able to handle your funds for you and offer added peace of mind for recovering your account if you're likely to lose your wallet mnemonic (electrum).

Bitcoin core is another option if you want to contribute to network propagation and reduce the amount of trust you have to put on others.
Web wallets are generally not a good idea (like blockchain.com) as they can be prone to more attacks - if you do use an exchange or Web wallet you might want to install a different browser on your computer for accessing it and not install plugins on that.

Also there's hardware wallets if you're storing large amounts of funds >$500 as they're considered to be more secure (normally encrypt able with a password and a pin).
