Curious , do you think one deserves prison more as the other, one doesn't deserve prison? Both should be there? None should?

How do you guys think about what they did and should or shouldn't they belong in prison?
We live in a clown world and everything has reversed logic here.
I don't think Ross Ulbricht will ever be released, and I wouldn't be surprised to see SBF released or someone to ''suicide'' him in prison like Epstein.
I certainly don't think Ross Ulbricht deserves multiple lifetime sentences for creating a website, we know corrupt government officials stole BTC in that case, and Ross was framed for many things.
Never trust anything government or msm is telling you about Ross Ulbricht case or with anything else, they always have some hidden motives or they want to give an example to people.
What can I say about big nose SBF, he is a punk junky who openly worked with politicians and government, but I really can't compare this two cases.

Well there may be free AML checking tools, but the real Wakanda-grade security checks that incriminate you, me, and the neighbor's dog are very hard to get access to, so it could be possible that he has somehow gained (legit) access to such a tool.
Yeah sure, and he could also have access to nuclear switch button...  Cheesy

Be honest: you never expected to be paid 0.1 Bitcoin for this, right? So the "Deal. Let's see" was posted out of impulse, and changed within 20 minutes. Besides, saxydev couldn't gain anything from it, you didn't offer him 0.1 Bitcoin if you couldn't keep up your end of the deal.
I did expect it and it was fair price I asked for something I delivered, and he broke agreement we made.
Imagine if we made deal about anything else and I spent hours doing some work for him, than I found out he changed his mind later.
In any normal website for selling stuff he would get negative rating for that, and if I wanted to make a joke I would ask for much more Bitcoin from him.
Since I didn't receive promised Bitcoin, flag stays and if you don't agree Loycev you can always vote against it.
I simply don't trust this ''dev'' who changes mind and sells shitcoins snake oil.

you didn't offer him 0.1 Bitcoin if you couldn't keep up your end of the deal.
Why the heck would I have to pay him anything when I delivered website like I promised?!

I strongly dislike saxydev's "taint" BS service, but I don't think Bitcointalk will be a better place if we start Flagging users on what I call a temporary lack of judgement.
You can't seat on two chairs at the same time.

Any theories?
There is nothing unusual about big spike of activity we had back in 2017 and 2018, most of the people heard about Bitcoin at that time and simple search would lead them to bitcointalk forum.
This was all connected with big increase of Bitcoin price, creation of many new shitcoins and ICO projects, everyone was mining the ''new bitcoin'' with GPU's and hoping to start early earning various tokens.
I remember days new projects started to pop up all the time, and we couldn't manage to report all the scams that played mostly on greed of people.
It's perfectly normal that this house of cards was going to collapse at some point and activity to get back in normal.   
2764  Other / Meta / Re: How can I prevent my account from being hacked as newbie on: January 25, 2023, 08:58:56 PM
As a newbie in bitcointalk.org what is the best way to prevent membership account from being hacked. Account hacked can be the most painful occurrence any member will experience in this forum. What are the ways to recover an account if eventually it gets hacked. I just want to know to do things right.
You should use strong and unique password for our forum account that was never used before.
Maybe think about using new email account have 2fa protection that is connected only with bitcointalk account and nothing else.
Never click on any links you receive in forum messages, that is one of the main phishing attacks, and sign a message with Bitcoin address to prove your ownership.
Doing this will be enough to protect you account, but you can also limit IP addresses in settings if you want to go hard core (I don't suggest doing that).

Scam sa ulaganjem u kriptovalute se nastavlja, i policija u Dubrovniku je upozorila građane da budu oprezni kod ulaganja u kriptovalute.
51-godišnja žena je u prijavi policiji navela da je zaprimila telefonski poziv muške osobe koji je s njom komunicirao na engleskom jeziku o proceduri ulaganja u kriptovalute.
Ona je kreirala korisnički račun i instalirala scam aplikaciju koja omogućuje daljinsku kontrolu nad udaljenim računalom i mobilnim uređajem.
Potom je u 13 navrata uplatila ukupno 17000 eura i kada je na računu imala dobitak od 100 tisuća eura zatražila je isplatu novca, ali nije ništa dobila i slučaj je prijavila policiji.

2766  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: 1inch Network's HW on: January 24, 2023, 10:59:12 PM
Really? That's hilarious!
Yeah, I guess Bitcoin is not DeFi enough for them and they can't print it like they can with shitcoins and tokens Cheesy

Funny that all of this is specified, but nothing about the actually important specs: security and source. Will the hardware and software be open, reproducible and verifiable? What security chip will be used (if any)? At least they said it will use QR codes for airgapped communication.
I think they are aware if they release this device as open source without support for Bitcoin, people will just fork it and add new software with BTC support.
They can avoid that only by making it closed source, but we also don't know if there are secure elements and what microcontrollers they use.
On positive side, I want to see new generation Bitcoin hardware wallets start to implement waterproof and gorilla glass features as standard.

Can you post a link where it said that? It would be unwise, as a developer in crypto, to build a hardware wallet, then exclude Bitcoin.
Here is their founder Alexey Devyatkin confirming that for Decrypt, he really said they are Defi aka shitcoin hardware wallet:
Quote
“In fact, we call it the first DeFi hardware wallet, that’s why I believe BTC is outside the scope, however, WBTC will be supported,” Alexey Devyatkin, founder of the 1inch hardware wallet told Decrypt
https://decrypt.co/119559/defi-project-1inch-network-launches-hardware-wallet

It's not officially open/released to the public yet, I believe we should give it more time. Because that's going to be another unwise decision if they, as again developers, would make their software closed source. But if their market is the newbie-plebs during the next bull market, they might sell them in large numbers in a short amount of time. Cool
So what?
They already have website, waiting list, and most of the details available on hw.1inch.io
You don't have to be rocket scientist to understand what's going to happen.
2767  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Stack wallet for mobile? on: January 24, 2023, 10:42:43 PM
If fingerprint is enabled on the phone, why enabling fingerprint to access the wallet too is what I meant, it makes the wallet to be less secure regardless of the small amount of coin you have using the mobile wallet. Anyone can go for fingerprint, but letting them know how dangerous it can be is not bad at all.
Your statement doesn't make any sense to me.
Nothing can be less secure if you have multiple fingerprints in one device, for example you can use one fingerprint for phone, and for wallet you can use different finger with different fingerprint.
Or just don't use any fingerprints at all, because it's OPTIONAL for everything I mentioned.
Don0t get me wrong, I would be the first to complain if fingerprints are made mandatory for anything.

And again, I have changed my mind about the vote. It's my right.
I don't care about your crazy mind changes, you said that you agree and that is written deal, if you fail to comply and you violated deal we had, so I have full right to create flag against you.
I am happy to hear that you don't care what happens with your account, and I am calling everyone to support this flag against scamming liar saxydev:

2769  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful with saxydev; he is a possible scammer on: January 24, 2023, 09:53:37 PM
Nope. Doesn't count.
It doesn't count because you say so?!
I will repeat again, you have 24 hours to send me 0.1 BTC because I sent what I promised, and nobody can compare something with invisible vaporware shitcoin serice you are offering.
If I don't receive Bitcoin by tomorrow I will create flag against you and give you negative feedback like I promised.
Have a nice day.
2770  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: January 24, 2023, 09:41:02 PM
But I already made yearly overview a week ago, I don't know how you missed it. Or you meant some other type of yearly overview?
Yeah I missed it obviously, maybe because I didn't feel so well last week and I was traveling for a few days in the same time, so I couldn't follow everything that is happening in the forum.
I remember you posted something similar overview of our local board but I think that happened earlier in January, and everything mixed in my head.
Good work for both of them, I just checked them again Wink



2771  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful with saxydev; he is a possible scammer on: January 24, 2023, 09:25:13 PM
Deal. Let's see
OK, you initially accepted to pay me 0.1 Bitcoin if I post a website that can make free analytics and you need to honor that deal or I will consider you a scamming liar and give you negative tag.
Like I promised, I am keeping my word and I am posting one free website that is called antinalysis.org, so I will now post my BTC address and I expect to receive 0.1 BTC you promised to send me.
I know few more services that are doing similar things and I know few people wanted to created their own websites like this, but I previously said I will post only one website for 0.1 BTC, I can post more if you send me more bitcoins.
Saxydev you have 24 hours to pay what you promised to my address: bc1qnnkav38ze4uxhk0ac70g8lqcgxc37492lrpwr9

Now I am also barely waiting to see if he'll pay him doing the Houdini move, after dkbit98 will provide the links.
Nose on that image you posted is getting bigger and bigger, and I am patiently waiting to see ''dev'' reaction

PS
I am going to donate % of Bitcoin I receive from saxydev to randomly selected members who wrote in this topic before this post, so we can have nice party time  Cool

Its time for a yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, this time a little bit later than in previous months as I was busy with yearly overviews.
Well done for one more good reporting work Rikafip!
I am looking at activity from Pakistan members and it's again higher than our local board, French, Arabic, Romainan, Nigerian (recently added), and few others.
They deserve to get new local board, so theymos and moderators do something if you are watching and reading this.
Any update about making yearly reports like we talked about?
2774  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What could make you start using a new crypto wallet today? on: January 24, 2023, 08:45:30 PM
Will you start trusting a new crypto wallet after it's been out for years or based on users reviews? Or it depends on what the wallet is offering, for example new crypto wallet that's fully open source but not popular because its new, is this a good reason enough to start using?
Don't trust, verify.
Point of the open source wallets is that you don't need to trust anyone if you and other developers can verify the code and don't find any hidden backdoor.
Any newly released wallet needs time  but at least for open source software everyone can identify and help fixing them, that is impossible with bunch of closed source black box wallets.

There are people who use Guarda wallet, Atomic wallet or Exodus wallet the same year of release before they become popular, what could possibly prompt you to start using a new crypto wallet today?
I don't like any of this wallets and I don't recommend anyone using them, but Exodus is probably better option from all of them.
Best option for dealing with shitcoins is hardware wallets like Trezor, Keystone or Bitbox, that are all open source and much better than ones you mentioned.

2776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs CBDC - Print your own stickers on: January 23, 2023, 10:28:46 PM
Your problem is that you think CBDC and the current "global fiat system" are separate from each other. But they are the same exact thing. Besides, they've been printing fiat in digital form for many years now and only a small percentage of it is in cash form (there is no enough paper on earth to print all of it!). Whether it is called digital banking or CBDC is not going to change that.
As I said this is just a hype that banksters are following.
They are not the same because CBDC can only be implemented if cash is removed from use.
Second, CBDC will have expiration date like coupons, and they will be connected with digital ID, that is something we don't have currently.
I see that you don't know anything about CBDC so I suggest reading more before you are making comparions with current fiat monetary system or something else.

There is no difference between people in China and their level of brainwashedness and people elsewhere.
You probably never visited Chain and you don't know how things work there, but they are already functioning almost like obedient robots.
I know people who lived and worked in China, and there is a huge difference with people in the rest of the world, that is why they are testing ground for new stuff.

Have you forgotten how many people celebrated the day PayPal started selling bitcoin without even having any bitcoins to their dumb users while not letting anybody withdraw?
If PayPal, Bank of America, etc. suddenly revealed PP-coin tomorrow the same people will still be happy and buy that centralized altcoin. Smiley
I never celebrated that and I don't anyone anyone who celebrated PayPal started selling Bitcoin.

It's vital people are made aware of the potential for abuse with this.  It's a dystopian nightmare-in-the-making.
Yeah, but try to explain this to tik-tok generation Tongue
2777  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Stack wallet for mobile? on: January 23, 2023, 10:15:50 PM
First of all, I do not like a wallet that encourages fingerprint, I mean that makes it noticeable and possible during the wallet setup. Secondly, I like passhrase, it makes me to feel secure while I backup my wallet offline on paper, but the wallet do not support passphrase, even I wanted to import BIP39 passphrase along with seed phrase but that was not possible.
You don't have to use fingerprint, but all smartphones already have biometrics like face and fingerprints, so you shouldn't use any smartphone  Cheesy
Passphrase is a different story and I like it, but I don't see a point in using it for mobile wallets that holds small amount of coins.

Quite a weird choice of coins to support. I have never heard of Wownero or Epic Cash in my life.
It's all privacy based coins, wownero is monero fork with better privacy but it's a meme coin like doge.

So, you are given a choice to use standard seed backups or their own native backup method or how does it work? Can the Stack wallet recover wallets created by other BIP39-compatible bitcoin cliets?
Looks like they have two methods for backup, but I am no sure seed words are compatible with other BIP32 wallets.
I didn't test wallet with transactions, but I plan to test in soon and see if there is coin control and other features.
2778  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Crypto debit card without kyc? on: January 23, 2023, 09:15:29 PM
I would take this with a serious dose of caution. CoinDebit card has had a problem with its service for a long time (September 2022), for now, they are under the pretext of looking for a new provider
I don't know what caution are you talking about when you can't even buy new cards now, and they refunded all the money to people who had money and filled refund requests when beta cards stopped working.
I am following them and I will post when they start working with new cards, that will have bigger limits and different rules for buying cards.
Scammers would continue to sell cards and they wouldn't refund any money to people, this is not the case here, but do your own research.
2779  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Be careful with saxydev; he is a possible scammer on: January 23, 2023, 09:03:54 PM
Dude, there is not such a service for free anywhere. What are you even talking about? You can try a lifetime pointing me to a free service. There is none.
Just because you can't find something that doesn't mean this thing doesn't exist, except maybe in your mind.
I said that I can prove such services exist already, I know two who are totally free and others who are paid, unlike your imaginary service that nobody ever saw, because you don't have website or anything else.
Let me make you an offer, if I post a proof for a free service like I said you will pay me 0.1 BTC, I think this is fair offer for a guy who is so active businessman like you.

Hi everyone my name is Richard nice to meet you all . I'm wondering how miners are able to reduce noise or what can be done about it ?
I live in a terraced house my wife and two kids, both are in their own bedrooms but you can hear the neighbor's at times through the upstairs walls when its quiet during the day . Any help would be appreciated
I saw several DIY projects that reduced noise of ASIC miners by creating isolation boxes from different materials.
Some of them managed to reduced noise and other almost completely eliminated noise and used heating from miners for generating heat in winter times or for heating water.
You can search this projects on youtube as acoustic boxes or silencers, and isolating room with miners could also help reduce overall noise.
