You can use the links provided by TimeTeller to visit announcement threads of many altcoins/tokens.
Just note that scams are not moderated on this forum. Most of those altcoins/tokens are scam and have been created only for making the creators rich.
Always, do your own research.

And for some reason(s) you realised they are not a bank but casino, which made you think you cannot trust them?
From my understanding, OP stopped using freebitco, because freebitco lost trust in him, not because he lost trust in freebitco. It seems that, OP has been banned from using freebitco because they believed that he was abusing their referral system with multiple accounts. |

and sendindg to kraken will take like 20$ fees (maybe more),
If I'm not wrong, you have received the USDT tokens in ethereum network and now you are talking about the transaction fee. Am I right? If so, consider receiving the payments using other networks like TRON for the next payments. In this way, you can pay much lower fees when making a transaction. |

This is the time to transfer one's bitcoins to your hardware wallet for safety.
It doesn't necessarily have to a be a hardware wallet. Any non-custodial wallet can give you full access to your fund. It's better to use an open-source wallet on an air-gapped computer or a hardware wallet*. It can be also a paper wallet generated using a safe tool on a safe device. |

Then that's a massive flaw in their implementation. I've never used MetaMask, but I'm very surprised no one has complained about it before. 6 characters can be spoofed fairly easily.
I just checked MetaMask to see how it works. Once you paste an address, it changes to 0xXXXX...XXXX. As shown in the following image, it only shows the first 4 characters and the last 4 characters.  The receiving address is shown in the same way, even on "Confirm" window. they dont care about security they just want everything to fit in that narrow window at the top right of the web browser i guess.
As you see in the above image, that's the same even in their Android application. They can show more characters and the address still fits in the recipient address field. But they don't do that. |

So do I need to enter the p2pkh:?
Given that you said the address has been created in 2011, it should be legacy and it doesn't matter if you don't enter the prefix. Whether you use that prefix or enter the private key without a prefix, electrum should generate a same address. I have been trying but every time I enter my key, my address/wallet will be in full form and then change to "watching only" I have done both address and Private, it switches to watch only with private key too...?
If you enter a private key, the wallet shouldn't be watch-only. Note that your private key should start with K, L or 5 and should have 51 or 52 characters. * If it has a different format, it's not a private key at all. *There are other formats for a private key, but they are not common. |

You want to withdraw from Binance, no?
It doesn't seem to be binance. Binance doesn't support lightning network. The options on binance are BTC, BSC, BNB and ETH. But I think now they added some kind of detection and they propose network base on address proviced.
Yes, once you enter an address, the network is automatically detected. But there's still a problem. BSC and ETH have a same address format and it's still possible to select a wrong network. If the withdrawal is made to a custodial service, there's the chance of losing the fund. |

Q. If there are 100 miners around the world and 100,000 transactions in the mempool, do all the 100 miners pick up the same 4000 txns in the block sorted by fee? (I read online that a block has approx 4000 txns). I would imagine that all 100 miners would pick up different transactions?
Once a transaction is included in a block, that's no longer in the mempool and the next block will include new transactions. So, a miner includes 4000 transactions into a block and they are removed from the mempool. The next block will be mined (by the same miner or a different miner) and will include 4000 other transactions. Q. If the USA government controls these miners and tells them to not pick up transactions from the mempool that belong to the addresses blacklisted by the US government, can't a Russian miner create their own block with the transactions from the mempool ?
Miners can include any transaction they want.
I don't think it's going to happen though.
I also don't think that will ever happen. But let's assume it will happen. Let's say the miners following the rules own 70% of the total hash rate. Miners who own the other 30% are located in sanctioned countries and don't join the 70%. What do you expect to happen? Will they stop mining? Or there will be a hard fork and they will create a separate chain? |

As stated by LoyceV, miners are free to select any transaction they want. So, a miner can ignore all transactions made from/to a certain address.
Let's say your address is blacklisted and now you want to make a transaction from that. You pay a high fee, so it's confirmed in the next block.
If the next block is mined by the miner which is censoring the transaction, your transaction won't be confirmed and you have to wait more, so a block is mined by another miner.
In the worst case scenario, the miners that are censoring the transactions own a significant amount of the total hash rate, ignore any transaction including blacklisted addresses and don't add any block to the chain including blacklisted addresses.
In this case, there will be two scenarios:
1. Other miners will do the same thing
2. We will have a hard fork

It was late 2011 and I have my private key to it, just cant remember what or who I set it up with. I will try the explore and see if it can point me in the right direction. Thanks Guys/Girls
If you have the private key, it doesn't matter which wallet has generated the address. You can import your private key into any wallet which supports importing private key and access the fund. Some wallets also allow you to sweep the private key. With sweeping, the fund is sent to a new address generated by your wallet. Before importing the private key into any wallet, make sure your device is secure and the wallet you use is trustworthy. A good choice is electrum. Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download. |

You shouldn't trust any custodial service with your bitcoin. Any custodial services is able to freeze your fund at any time for any reason. There's also the possibility that they get hacked or they are closed at any time. When you use a custodial service, you don't actually own any bitcoin. You should always use non-custodial wallets, so you can have full control over your fund. Not your keys, not your coins.But enough about that topic, is there any sound way to earn with your Bitcoins while I stay true to the principle ideal of? My keys, my Bitcoins with at least having some anonymity.
No. You can't have full control over your fund and get interest at the same time. |

................no matter how hard I think about it paper wallet feels safer what about you?
If you generate and use a paper wallet in the correct way, it's secure. - The private key (or the seed phrase*) should be generated on an air-gapped device. - You should make sure that the keys has been generated completely random. - You shouldn't use a tool you don't know exactly how it works. - The private key (or the seed phrase) should never touch the internet. - You should keep the paper wallet in a secure place. - It's recommended to have multiple copies from the paper wallet and keep them in different places. - For more security, you can use metal sheets instead of a paper, so it's resistant to water and fire. *By old definition, a paper wallet includes a single private key and single address. But you can generate a seed phrase instead of a single private key and have numerous addresses. With multiple addresses, you can protect your privacy.

If you use a SPV wallet (a wallet in which you don't need to download the full blockchain), the server you connect to has the ability to link your addresses with each other and to your IP address.
Let's say you have created an HD wallet with numerous addresses in electrum (the best SPV wallet I know). Since electrum is a SPV wallet and you don't have the full blockchain on your device, you have to connect to a server for getting data from the blockchain. The server you connect to can know all the addresses belong to a same person and also link them to your IP address. There is no guarantee that this server won't share this information with others.
If you want more privacy, you must use bitcoin core and run your own full node.

Currently it's new minted coin of 6.25 bitcoin per each successfully validated transaction.
Currently, miners can claim 6.25 BTC for every block they mine. This reward isn't for validating transactions. There are many full nodes validating transactions and helping the network without getting any reward for that. A miner can solve the proof of work problem, broadcast a block without any transaction and get the 6.25 BTC. Now will the fee be encouraging enough as the only reward then will this spring up inflation in transaction fee or will miners stop?
As stated by Charles-Tim, the block reward has decreased from 50 BTC to 6.25 BTC and mining is still profitable. That's 87.5% decrease in block reward. The following image shows the total hash rate change over the time. As you see, we reached a new all time high a few days ago.  Source: blockchain.comand if miners stop what will happen to bitcoin
Anyone who can't make profit stops mining. This causes the difficulty to decrease and mining becomes more profitable for others. |

It's a game of a faucet where you have to solve a word puzzle to find all the words of the seed and then bring them in the right order.
Most probably, no combination of those words corresponds to a funded wallet. Even if there's a funded wallet with those words, as already mentioned in previous posts, it's impossible to brute-force the seed phrase. Those who gave you the words knew this very well. The instructions of this game tell to download the Electrum Wallet so i have thought that it was created with Electrum.
Hope they didn't give you a link to a fake website and you have downloaded electrum from its official website. |

I've attempted to export my key, but when following the instructions above, there is no option to backup may wallet when I highlight my wallet and click 'wallet properties'.
Can you share a screenshot from the new window that pops up after clicking on "Wallet Properties" button? You should see "Backup This wallet" option at right side of the window. Note that, since you are a newbie you can't post image. Just share your image on an image hosting website like imgur and post the link here. |

Or if you are having just little amount, you can consider using Electrum wallet by importing the master private key or the child keys, which is the extended private key.
There is no master private key to be exported from Armory. Armory generates child private keys in a different way. It doesn't use the BIP32 standard which is used by electrum and many other wallets. So, if you want to import an Armory wallet to electrum, the only option is to use child private keys. |
