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).

@BccKing : you should read the forum rules and stop spamming with separate replies for everybody. All those replies should have been sitting in one big post. |

1. Post an address that is yours and will ever be yours, maybe sign a message too with it.
This defeats the purpose of 2FA for Bitcointalk's account security purpose. This was the (my) point. Using Bitcoin address is the proper way on bitcointalk. And it's already there, nothing needs to be implemented/added, one has to just learn to use it (which is also not a big deal). |

1. Post an address that is yours and will ever be yours, maybe sign a message too with it. There's a topic about that , do the search. found it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.new#new2. Whenever you do a trade, request that everything related to the trade is disregarded if it's not signed from that address. This is it all. You don't need 2FA. Bitcoin offers the tools you need, you only have to start using them. PS. 2FA is overrated. People tend to keep 2FA tool on the same devices as the browser or exchange/social media apps they use with 2FA. |

scott2k
From what I see (on Ninjastic Space) this scott2k account didn't post any bitcoin address (nor PGP key), hence I would not expect miracles in recovering that account. |

This I don't understand. I think she was trying to say that this generation wasn't around when electricity was invented, when the first cars were created, when shells were used as money, etc. But we are here now to see the evolution of Bitcoin. OK, if one was around when there was the gold rush or when the first Bitcoin blocks were mined easily and cheap, I would understand to be seen as a loss. But for the first cars or the electricity... nothing really big to monetize (unless I am missing something). |

And the main problem is that we can lose the finger and in that scenario our cryptos will be gone.
Even burning your finger can get your funds inaccessible for a while. Even more, fingerprints and other biometrics can be copied as well. Also there were already stories about people getting their funds stolen after taking drugs. Also keep in mind that the private key is after all only a number (from an overly big interval). It could be implemented to get from your fingerprint to a private key, in a way or another (just look at Weird Bitcoin wallets, for example). But it's far from safe. |

I need some orientation on how Participants get merit.
If it is shared, how is that done too?
Please let's help each other out.
Merit is awarded for useful/quality posts. Some guidelines for quality posts are in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409763.0I will not get deeply into details, but if you post useful and well written stuff, sooner or later somebody will notice that and award you with merits. Even good questions can get merited. PS. For example, this post of yours is rather badly written and hard to understand everything you meant. Just saying... |

The sad thing that I've noticed is that, there are still plenty of users with those custodial wallets and they're trusting it more than the non-custodial. I think the ratio compared to us that knew the differences of those isn't that big.
Maybe my use of the word "trend" is an overstatement. Still, from a couple of years ago when basically everybody (ok, don't take it ad-literam) had their coins at exchanges and other custodian wallets, the things are changing. Of course, some are lazy, careless or incapable to take care of their money (after all, it does require a bit of skill) and they still have their coins in others' hands. But the charts about the funds leaving exchanges or the charts on how many hardware wallets are being bought do show a direction I like. We cannot expect wonders overnight, but the direction is good. But still, we'll never know what can happen to those funds if something goes wrong with those wallets or services that these people are trusting. Especially these days, it seems becoming common to see exchanges halting withdrawals and it's possible to happen with these custodial wallets.
True, there are plenty of topics on this matter here on bitcointalk. And if not all the people from the forum read/care/comply, then what could we expect from the outsiders?! |

Cryptocurrency pioneers, nice to meet you, this is my dad's account.
Welcome to the forum! Since this is your dad's account it may be a better idea to start your new account. With differences in knowledge and other aspects you may be accused of buying or stealing accounts, or you may be accused of shitposting for asking newbie questions from a 5 years old account. Just saying. When Bitcoin was born, I was a 7-year-old ignorant girl, and I also missed it.
Bitcoin is still very young, you didn't really miss it. Don't look back to the past, look towards the future. It may be much better. we weren't there when cars were there, and I wasn't there when electricity was there
This I don't understand. Those who can mine 50BTC or 25BTC in one block, you are the luckiest! Most of those didn't understand the value of Bitcoin and spent, wasted or lost that long ago. I think that those who bought at 1$ or so may be in a better position. Of course, there are just speculations.  I hate altcoins, they made my dad lose money
Hate is not healthy. But avoiding them may actually be Again, welcome to the forum and enjoy the ride! |

If you have different approaches feel free to share!
There's no actual number and as others said "sky is the limit" because fiat is continuously eroded by inflation. So in 10s of years in the future Bitcoin may worth *a lot* because of its scarcity (and demand!) and also because fiat is losing value continuously. The only missing part of the "equation" is the demand. If, for some reason, the demand would go down, the price will also go down. If the demand remains the same, the price will grow. If the demand rises (and that's what I expect) the price will skyrocket. |

What is Bitcoin really? Is it just a digital currency? Any application running on the Bitcoin blockchain?
Is it me or you just ask random questions? What is bitcoin, what is a block, and questions on programming languages and wallet creation.. these are imho at quite different levels, which means you are either tremendously confused (which is not normal after so much time and posts here, so just go to the links others have provided for you and fill the gap), either you have decided to post questions, no matter what (which is ugly). |

1. It says "Download ThomasV's PGP Key" and nothing else. There is no step by step guide to how this is actually done. But surely it is important to give as much information as possible on a subject where security is supposed to be so very, very, very important?
Does this mean Download ThomasV's signature from the Electrum website? Or are they separate things?
You need ThomasV (and most probably others' too) keys, you can find them on Electrum download page, just before "Sources and Binaries". 2. The guide has Redundant links to ThomasV's public key. But why have links if they are redundant? Or is there another meaning of the word "redundant"? Redundant normally means "no longer in use".
You must have been confusing "redundant" with "obsolete". Redundant means duplicates are available in more places which, in this case, is very good (in case that hackers may replace one website, let's say). 3. The guide does not cover some important points.
Make sure you downloaded Electrum and the signature asc file from the same row. * Search for kleopatra pgp, download, install * import ThomasV and others' public keys you downloaded (double click on asc and wait for a window show up) * optionally make yourself a key and certify those imported keys * double click electrum's asc file (make sure the downloaded exe is in the same folder), see what the result window tell (if you did the optional step, the window will be green). |

I've forgot to say and add that it's mostly on the custodial wallets. I've used a handful of them in the past years and had a comparison to the current network fee and to those wallets that I've used before and there's really sort of an additional to the base fee.
Although the market wasn't really that bad at all during those times and those fees weren't that much. Eventually, I've stopped using them and sticked to the non-custodial ones.
Then sorry if I was too harsh; as I said the "equation" is much different in case of custodian services. Also those usually get together with other services offered, squeezing some more cents here and there (like maybe getting tx fee for transferring funds between addresses of the same platform, but nothing actually done on-chain, hence all the fee money kept). Just nowadays we advise everybody move off custodial platforms. Now the trend seems to be to oppose as much as possible the KYC and also be aware that "not your keys, not your coins", which all mean going away from custodial wallets. There are very few niches available imho for a new custodian wallet. Maybe LN. It will not be easy for OP to start such a platform. He may even need backing from a financial institution and then he may become employee, which is far from the "getting rich" idea. |

(it's good that you posted this here in B&H board since you wouldn't like the responses that you'll get in the Development board)
Well said. Okay, but it needs further elaboration No matter how is he elaborating it; code that would somehow allow reverting a confirmed transaction will never go through the consensus, you know that. Because no matter what one party is telling, getting other party's money without his consent is stealing. And we all know that if a party doesn't answer or doesn't prove anything, that doesn't necessarily means he doesn't exist. Of course, you know this and wanted to be nice with OP, I know, I still feel that this needed to be said. Not for you, for OP. |

Do you also have some antivirus/security app installed/running? Some come with their own firewall, maybe you've missed that?

I do not do that much with python so I have no idea how bad the real situation is.
I don't do much python either, but I've seen that quite a big amount of bitcoin related tools are made in python (Electrum, some flavors its servers, block explorers, wallet recovery, ...) Maybe somebody tells us whether somebody with not much of linux skills might have gotten this on his computer just because he tried to compile/install some tools. |

Quite shame for so many good answers. From what I see, I think that OP was an one-time poster whose main goal was not to find info on the HW, instead get as many people click onto his ref link (link that was removed by a mod). +1 I agree, it's one of the best options nowadays, by far. |

Once all this is done the bitcoin developers can credit the possesser of the public address with a new private address issued in a hash that says they possess the amount of bitcoins that was lost. This can work and should be implemented asap.
Sorry, but such claim only shows that you have 0 understanding on how bitcoin works. And no, this is not how Bitcoin works and no matter what the devs do, no matter how much would they want to have this done, this cannot be implemented (or, more exactly, even if implemented, will never go live) |

The regular price for .net on registrar (Namesilo) $11.79 the domain was free to register until I bought it  . Yap, that sounds strange. Congratulations! Nice business and I like to know such an important name stays at somebody active and trusted. Still, I am not that happy with the choice of the script, I find others better ( one example would be https://preecs.coolstorage.org/ that makes the average of 3 exchanges, keeps the price visible on the title bar and also updates the price regularly without refresh). Of course, I expect you've picked fast one script that looked good and in time you'll get to the best; and it's not that bad either, I'm just overly picky. btw. Why preev? is it an abbreviation for something specific?
IMO it was thought randomly and owner decide to use it since it's short and has only one syllable. My guess has always been that's some sort of PRic E EValuation (and obviously a short and cheap name picked) |
