I would get rid of XP and put a Linux on it. And I'm telling you this as a Windows user.
Especially under Windows USB is a high risk, hence, no matter what OS you use, I advise you transfer the information via camera.

On my Win10 Electrum opens the camera directly when I do Tools->Load Transaction->From QR code
Do some tests yourself. If you have another (live) laptop you can start both on testnet and do a test with signing a tx with your cold storage. Then you know you have all you need and can do the proper install and configuration.

Nu am experienta nici cu USDT, nici cu TRON, dar:
* TRON este o moneda cu blockchain propriu
* USDT este un token care poate foloseste (cel putin) 3 blockchain pe care poate sa existe / sa fie transferat: OMNI (BTC), ERC20 (ETH), TRC20 (Tron)

Deci USDT va fi transferat pe blockchainul pe care ai monedele, iar costul depinde de blockchain.
Cred ca in ultima vreme se folosesc mai degraba USDT pe Tron, unde transferul e mai ieftin (dar nu stiu cat).
Oricum, daca ai USDT intr-un portmoneu al tau, vezi si tu cum arata adresa si vezi din articol ce inseamna asta.

..Dar... tu ai aceste monede intr-adevar la tine in portmoneu sau sunt pe la vreo casa de schimb? Fiindca in al doilea caz costul este cat taxeaza ei pentru retrageri si nu are legatura cu nimic altceva.

I will add to the previous post that this kind of investments are risky, hence you should invest only money you afford to lose or have locked in the investment for long time.

In my experience with Bitcoin, while the price did recover sooner or later, there were long periods the price was low and the news were depressing; I expect many did sell in such times and if you are one of those getting easily scared by that you better not invest. Even more, investing in bitcoin makes sense only if you plan to leave your coins untouched for 3, 4 or even 5 years, at least. Of course, financial emergencies tend to occur when Bitcoin price is also far from great. So you have to have a good plan.

Adding to this the risks the previous post wrote, it's not easy to invest into Bitcoin.

Now... you wrote "crypto". Many Bitcoiners will say that you may want to invest in whatever altcoin. Altcoins are way more risky than Bitcoin and I don't have a good rule for them to see profit. In my experience altcoin investments are a losing scenario on long term. Maybe on short or medium term some got nice profits, but I don't recommend altcoins at all.

So, altcoins are a no, and Bitcoin is also something that must be weighted carefully. Then you decide for yourself whether you should invest or not. Good luck!

Umm, you're wrong
An ASIC is built to make one operation. Since DdmrDdmr is more than capable to also post actually human-like logic and information, I would say that ASIC/MSIC is a huge understatement. Overly evolved AI? Maybe. But not a simple ASIC/MSIC.

Heh, la ce de "competenti" au fost angajati la stat, mai ales in ultimii ani, nu m-ar mira.
Dar totusi cred ca (sau cel putin nu exclud ca) e ceva mai mult decat doar un grup de discutii acolo...


Asta se poate intampla daca ignori notificarile de la ANAF pentru ceva perioada - dar nu stiu daca este vorba de luni sau ani.
Altfel nu inteleg, eventual sa fi fost si altceva, nu doar taxele. Dar na, sunt analfabet in "legaleza", asa ca poate ca ma insel.

Oohh, I've missed that. Thank you. So it was intended, interesting...

That's most probably because any low value project would start making such giveaways - for advertising purpose - handing out some shitcoins or tokens with no value.

It's easy nowadays to camouflage bad intentions as good intentions. I guess that this is the way many scams actually work.

Same here, same here. Just I've been at a concert, hence I didn't reply yesterday here.


Very good point.
Somehow I have a feeling that Ddmrddmr has done (intentionally or not) something different this time, with newer posts merited by him not getting re-merited at this merit spree, and older posts (even from April or May!) being re-merited.

What a crappy end of the race...
They could have been hurrying a little and get at least 1-2 laps without safety car...

Oh well... Max won again..
Bad luck for Checo, he has lost too many points to gain the fastest lap.
And Nyck has made points, which is wonderful!

I would prefer the square brackets (bold or not).

And on the discussion about getting this actually implemented I would say that indeed it may have a better chance to come as BPIP extension (and yes, it would be nice to not interfere with the DT mark the BPIP extension already adds).

I've seen in the past a crypto news aggregator with many sources. I don't know if they were using Regex or not (heck, I don't even remember which aggregator it was), but I remember I've seen the same news in many places with somewhat different title and wording. I don't know how good can Regex handle this.

Me neither, still I don't claim to know everything on this world and strange / meaningless things can happen.
And although OP has done mistakes and now he went overly defensive, it could have been nice to see him clear this up.

@Agbe: you've started this topic with a mistake (and I'm being nice) related to the images. People getting now overly cautious about your every word is pretty much a normal development. So (as an advice you take into account or not, up to you) you should calm down before any answer you want to give.

Well said. Also with the grid penalty Max has got, Leclerc clearly has a bit of advantage.
Even more, Alonso, Ricci, Lando Norris or Russell may give some hard times to Max, meaning lost time and extra tyre wear, all playing in the favor of Leclerc.
We will have to see whether the RBR cars are still that much better than the rest, like they were in the past 2 races. It may be a close call (and hopefully a race very nice to see). Right now Leclerc seems to have a slight advantage.

My eyes are also on Nyck de Vries, I wish he gets some points.

Get well, all the rest can wait.

I didn't want to give false hopes... and now I've become the party crasher
I'm sorry 

I will give you an analogy:
Why are you closing and even locking your door? It means (by your logic) that you must be doing something illegal there.
(also by extending that logic) If you would have nothing to hide, you would have no curtains, the door open and even advertising your address and what goods you keep at home.


Show some proof and maybe you can have some basis for a discussion. Else I could argue (for the fun of it) that you have made billions for selling meth.

If this sounded like an attack or complaint, apologies for that, it's not intended.
My intention is to give all the details, be constructive, see what we can do, since it's not the first request like this (although I also agree they're were very few), especially as I expect OP is disappointed by how the things have gone.

My expectations are that in the future - quite a good number of years - maybe Bitcoin will be treated less like "my preciousssss" and more like actual money.
Then this could get more traction.

The point about the info already available is also good, although some just don't know how to use it for their specific case and that will still be/keep being helpful.

I've said from start that all this is about cutting costs.
Now, the 24/7 ATMs usually brings them good benefit vs cost ratio, unless the number of ATM heists is big.
There may be however another reason for this, read below.


I think that they may "skip a step" and try to move in the direction Europe is moving.
In Europe they started reducing the number of employees and convince people use online banking an ATMs. Of course, in order to be able to do all operations, from paying bills to depositing money, they need a different, more complex (and probably more expensive) type of ATMs. Maybe, just maybe, that's (also) why the number of ATMs is low (and if I'm right, the numbers will rise).

However, the fact the ATMs are not working 24/7 is unexplainable for me. That part I simply fail to understand. One thing would be they don't replenish them often enough (lack of personnel), but.. are they saving energy, or are they so afraid of thieves?! (the costs are imho small, so cost cutting alone doesn't explain that)

I didn't want to answer because I don't want to give false hopes. Maybe I'm too negativist, but I don't think that this will get enough traction on short term. Maybe on long term.
No offense, the idea / project is good, but I feel like the vast majority on bitcoinitalk is not generous.

Even more, my use of LN is limited yet (yes, shame on me). I do have, however, a LN wallet in Blue Wallet (custodial). Maybe, with some guidance, I will do even better.
