buying the right type of machine
You will basically need some 400-500 GB for the blockchain. With OS and so on, I'd recommend at least 1TB of storage for the computer/laptop. This is the most important part. Also SSD would be nice (would improve greatly the time for the initial download and check of the blocks/blockchain). Also I recommend you ask here on the forum, publicly, and get answers publicly. Doing the setup doesn't need private information and if you are doing it privately you can end up being scammed. |

Azi am fost si eu, prima data, la ziua Marinei. Foarte frumos!
Nu am avut ocazia, e cam departe pentru mine, mai ales cu mirificele drumuri ale patriei ( stii de ce sunt dragute drumurile din Romania? pentru ca au gropite!) . Desi poate ca sunt cam in intarziere, iti doresc un sejur placut si vreme cat mai buna! |

Then he should send them to a mixer. It is not that hard and would make this way more interesting. If he doesn't want to doxx himself he should post here in the first place  I don't expect newbies trust mixers. There are still stories that only "bad boys" are mixing, remember? Also I expect some start getting afraid that the exchanges won't accept mixed coins. One has to learn a little more to understand the value of mixers, so I would not rush it, nor have unrealistic expectations. |

I am just curious, and I can see that some other members are as well, what is your reasoning against posting the bitcoin address here? The string that begins with either "1", "3" or "bc1". Bitcoin addresses are public information. You can find all of them on any block explorer.
I'd assume that he wants to keep it private so in case he is cashing in those coins he is not doxxing himself. The alternative would be that all of this is just a nice story. |

I hardly see anyone even consider them while trading yeah they might look at color of candle but that's all. Specially those advance candlestick patterns like rising soldiers and all that, I don't even remember anyone even mention them once while trading or in any tutorial. So my question is for trading veterans here do they use it or is it really overrated thing which serve no purpose in real time trading?
I think that everything in TA is taken into account, including the candles. All the trends, bands, wedges and so on are, after all, based on the candles too. The only thing is that TA itself is (in many/mosts cases) not good to be taken into account alone. There are many "external" factors to be taken into account when predicting what will the price do in the near future. For example, on Twitter, many tell that the price will go up "any day now", with nice drawings and so on, but they seem to have forgotten we're still in a historic crypto winter, hence also the price going further down is a valid option. Which has actually just happened. |

Contradictions aside - any person who requests to be removed from DT1 is saying they don't want to be trusted.
I think that this is incorrect. Because if one cannot be trusted, then he's basically a scammer. I don't think anybody wants to be seen as a scammer. Imho one who has requested to be removed from DT wants to stay away of the DT/trust drama. That's all. (I am very new in DT and I may be more aware than the long timers on the pressure that comes with being part of DT, especially DT1)And based on this logic, since it's not a scammer, he can still give out merits impartially, nothing stops him from doing that. And merits don't come with the same amount of drama like DT. |

"I eddie13 am goin to pen test minerjones's escrow operation and see if I can help to harden his practices"
Try to scam him..
Get caught..
"Oh I was just trying to help! See my signed message!"
Interesting point, I didn't think of this. And you may be indeed right. And we're back to square one: the words of user 1 vs the words of user 2; and their trust rating and so on. The one with better trust and better case will win even if he has actually been trying to scam. |

you can mine eth or etc and convert to btc. I do it all the time.
With ETH going PoS... I guess that there won't be ETH mining after September (am I wrong?). But I would not rule out a great recovery of ETC. However, finding what (other than ETC) coins can be mined after September may be interesting. |

What this really the satoshi wallet? 12cbQLTFMXRnSzktFkuoG3eHoMeFtpTu3S This is most probably not the Satoshi wallet, instead, one of the many addresses from his wallet(s). But as said, which are his wallets (or addresses) and how many bitcoin he actually own are all speculation and educated guesses, nothing is known for sure. |

A few days ago I signed up for Mixabit Bitcoin mixer. It let me deposit coins of course without a problem and even let me withdraw a small coin amount ONCE. Since then for 2 days in a row now, I experience the same.provlem as posted here but with this Mixabit service, not Onion wallet. I try to send coins to different addresses, small or large amounts, and all I get is a blank page (sendbtc.php). It hangs on the blank page for awhile and usually nothing happens. Every once and a while, it comes back with an error that Bitcoin address is missing, which I know I entered.
So, is Mixabit a scam service or they are just experiencing technical difficulties? It let me withdraw once after 2 deposits that I made. Might have been to trick me into believing them, of course. I cannot withdraw anything since then for a few days now. Messages to them of course went unanswered.
I am pretty sure I used the good url to access it from hidden wiki, etc. If it is still a scam, why would it be promoted and link posted on hidden wiki, onion links, etc. which are supposed to be "trusted" sites, Claiming Mixabit to be one of the best and highly recommended? Does nobody moderate these sites to ensure the links and sites are "legit"?
I have read that there was a scam sometime back related to Mixabit, but the URL for the scam is not what I was using.
Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks.
1. There is a list of good mixers, you have to just search a little. Here you are: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827109.02. I didn't find anywhere info on bitcointalk that would say that Mixabit is legit. I found 2 onion addresses marked as scam, and that's all. I have no idea how you guys find the shadier and less used services on the internet, really... 3. Not much relevant, probably, but still: there is a bitcointalk user mixabit, but it's inactive for some 6 years. I don't know where you found that mixer and I don't know if it's scam or they have difficulties, but I'd assume the worse, especially if they're not answering (although it's not uncommon to get slow answers from support). PS. I think that Service Discussion would have been the place for this topic. |

A bit off-topic, but i'd be skeptical if size of modern game is only 1.55MB.
Maybe it can be, if the exe is only a launcher and the actual game is somewhere else or it's in dlls. That would make sense if we're talking about legit game. But why would people who crack game bother create launcher program? They could use BitTorrent protocol or cloud storage (such as Google Drive) to share cracked game easily. I'm not sure I've got your question right. A legit app may have a launcher, especially if it's expected to get (many) updates. Seen that, not in games though (I don't play lately, so I don't know). The crack is probably a downloader. This way some AV may not flag it, since it may have not much of malicious code, but the downloaded package is probably a "bomb" for the OS. Of course, in the case the legit exe is a launcher, probably a "legit crack" (lol) would have been replacing some dlls, not the exe. |

But AFAIK when account already changed hands, the account will get negative feedback just like this thread
While the story behind BccKing new owner may or may not be true, I would say that I didn't really got to see people "starting their journey" by telling they took over an account. So I've seen it as a rather honest approach, hence my neutral feedback (since a warning is still in order there). I don't like to apply the same rule everywhere, I prefer to think and take my own decision, case by case. And here it's.. fuzzy. Your negative feedback is not bad, and also not great either; although when you get such a strong feedback as you've got, you should indeed think it over and see if you did good. But it's your feedback and your decision. I do agree that the new user should have made a new account. Clearly. But for the negative feedback you made... I expect you may get various answers, favoring your decision, or telling it was too harsh, .. or neutral. Again, it's your decision. |

Tag this guy for engaging in account deal
Since something like what DaveF has just posted was not done, at least as far as I know, it's your word against his word. And, if I want to tell in a completely impartial way, your word will weight less since you are an account seller and his trust rating looks pretty good; also he has a solid case, posted almost 2 months ago (I mean, even he trying to lower prices may or may not have been part of a strategy to look like a legit buyer). So you have no chance at all. However, I'm a bit surprised that you care about all this since selling accounts seems to be your main business. |

There's also the other option where its included in your profile where you can disable or enable things, but without a introduction to that, most users won't know of it, let alone use it.
Exactly this is my fear: since they have no idea they can re-enable that, the newbies will just feel restricted / with their hands tied. And together with the other restrictions a newbie also has, plus the possible evil fee some are seeing, it can be a disappointing experience for the genuine newbies on this forum. And a disappointing experience can make them give up and go away. So the first step is an explanatory welcome message, as Welsh said; then the extra restrictions can also be implemented. But in this order. |

Maybe it can be, if the exe is only a launcher and the actual game is somewhere else or it's in dlls. Hacker attacked my computer or mobile?, I could not really identify how it happening with me. Need help from forum.
Yes, most probably those cracks you downloaded have downloaded some more "tools" that have helped the hacker. After the cleanup I recommend: 1. Consider making a small linux partition only for crypto stuff (with a browser, maybe a wallet too); Linux Mint is very easy for Windows users, many other flavors of Linux are not that bad either. 2. Consider buying a hardware wallet for your funds. You seem to not be knowledgeable enough with your computer security, so it may be a very good direction. 3. Stop using cracks / hacked software. I mean, what you were expecting?! |

Can Bitcoin mining be turned on and off and then picked back up where I left off when turned back on?
Basically, I bought a house with PV solar that generates an extra 20+ kWh a day more than I use. I’m curious if I could mine at a rate that only uses about 20kWh a day, or have it so I shut it off after about 20kWh and then it picks up where it leaves off? Or I could run it for a few weeks and then take a few weeks off. I have net metering and if I don’t use my excess the power company uses it for free. Power in my area is like 40 cents a kWh so I’d rather not go over what I generate.
Would mining make any sense?
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.
I will rule out solo mining. I don't think it makes sense. So, when you do pool mining, your miner gets work from time to time and sends hashes. Of course, you can stop whenever you want, but a PPLNS pool may penalize you a little when you're back. So you may have to read more about PPS/FPPS/PPLNS/PPS+ and whatever methods exist and see what is best for you. (One page google has returned to me is https://medium.com/luxor/mining-pool-payment-methods-pps-vs-pplns-ac699f44149f#) I don't know how many hours would your mining go every day (probably @philipma1957 will come with the proper math), I think that it makes sense only if it's more than 2-3h Keep in mind that if you are on PPLNS, you mine for 1h and the next block found by that specific pool is only after 4-5h, you will probably earn nothing. Again, you have to look for the pool type that suits you best (payment type and maybe also frequency of mined blocks). But imho you can mine too even if it's not 24/7. |

1. Is bitcoind -daemon enough to run full-node?
2. Is running bitcoind -daemon enough to verify transactions?
(I will add to previous answer) Keep in mind that if you don't do port forwarding, your node will not be accessible from outside, will only connect to other nodes (will have outbound connections, but no inbound connections). While it still verify transactions even from this stance, some don't consider it proper full node. 3. Which wallet in this case will be selected to receive fee?
The transaction fee will be received by the miner (or mining pool) that's mining the block in which the transaction is included. ---- Please also consider moving this topic to beginners & help. Also maybe you ask more questions on the matter, you seem to have some sort of confusion (just a hunch), and if so, it would be better you clear everything up instead of assuming incorrectly this or that. |

Lately there's some attention towards biodiesel, which is, from my understanding, exactly this. Just, of course, they focus on making biodiesel from new waste, ignoring the old, for some reason (insufficient knowledge?, landfills may stop emitting gas after a short while? I don't know).
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil and used cooking oil, and in some cases animal fat but I've not seen once an example of this being even close to remotely profitable as fat can be directly used for a ton of other things, it's cheaper and indirectly more profitable to turn it into low-quality dog food than making biofuel out of it. What you get from a landfill is gas, it makes little sense to try to turn it into a traditional fuel so instead, you either use a generator on-site to produce energy or you can process it into LNG but again with every major transformation it begins to be more expensive. OK, then I guess that I've made a confusion in terms; however, I've read somewhere that recovering methane from the new waste is being pushed (more or less), while I heard nothing about also considering the old waste. Of course, I have no idea what are all the possible methods for how that "recovering" would work; indeed, burning on-site makes sense - I think that's already being done for municipal centralized heating. There is no way to stop a landfill from producing gas, as long as it contains matter that is decomposing it will produce gas
Do you know by chance for how long would a landfill produce this gas, as an approximated estimation? Maybe what I'm asking is stupid though, since one cannot compare the waste of let's say Tampa FL, with the waste of Rio de Janeiro. |

Why Satoshi Nakamoto has not spent even a single Bitcoin ?
Who said he didn't? He did spend at least 10 BTC. Remember, he did sent the first ever Bitcoin transaction, 10 BTC to Hal Finney: https://mempool.space/tx/f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16Whether he did monetize or not some of his BTC, we don't know and we will never know. Keep in mind that he "disappeared" early. I do hope that at some point he did mine more secretly or buy bitcoin very cheap and now he's enjoying life (if he's alive, that is). |
