2761  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dormant Bitcoin Addresses on the move on: August 30, 2022, 09:15:52 AM
I am curious if it's a coincidence or if it's really the transaction that sold those Bitcoin on the market immediately.

I have a feeling that some of those coins are owned by people who have left their wallets forgotten on various HDDs and the latest ATH made them look for their old money, look for programs to recover old deleted files and so on. And since that takes time, some of those moves happen this late.
I mean that it may be also a relation between these findings and the increase of topics made by people asking how to get their hands on their old wallets...

Of course, it may not cover all that money.
Also I expect people only sell small parts of those riches, but it still counts as big amounts of dormant money being moved, since the entire inputs are spent; plus the change may go to new, SegWit addresses too.

Or only people triggered the dumps because they saw some transactions transferring Bitcoins from Bitcoin addresses with no activity from 7-9 years.

In the days of bearish market people can get scared by anything and everything can be exploited by smart bears. I don't think though that the current price is that much related to those old funds on the move.
2762  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: coin mixer service on: August 30, 2022, 08:13:36 AM
After tornado.cash been seized, do you guys still looking for a similar/same service vendor?

I wonder if I may open this service but not sure of any potential risk there, anyone could advise?

1. If you're asking about mixer for Ethereum, you should ask in altcoins section.
2. Bitcoin mixers do exist, work properly and have customers.
3. I advise you think very hard whether you start or not such a service. If you had to ask this question, I think that the safer answer is "no", since it's not only about running a software, it's also about keeping the setup secure and maybe also hide your tracks to avoid what has happened with tornado.cash

Wait!
Your domain is : https://100bit.co.in/
User examplens's domain is https://preev.net/

Both have same interface but different logo, different site title and additionally you have the Twitter linked to you. Who is copying whom ? LOL
I am guessing there are ready made themes already exists for this type of sites and you both got them from the marketplace?

The one who was actually the first is https://btc2fiat.me
And since it is free (as also stated in the actual announcement topic) and available on GitHub, people started using it on whatever domain names they had available.
2764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be worth zero? on: August 29, 2022, 04:53:44 PM
But what would happen if the oldest and most valuable asset on the market, Bitcoin, dropped to zero?

Such thing would happen only if an unrecoverable and very big problem would be found in Bitcoin. Until now no such thing has happened (the big problems were early and recoverable), so we can say it has already passed the test of time and 0-value scenario is pretty much unlikely.

However, was this a genuine question or just some attempt to advertise a website?
2765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: get an email notify whenever the balance of pre-defined address changes on: August 29, 2022, 04:48:48 PM
The walletnotify hint was helpful. I think I will stick with that.

I've had some setup to get notified by email in the past. I've been using blockchain.com and the interesting part is that I've added an address there (i.e. watch only). There were clearly privacy issues, but no safety concerns since blockchain.com didn't know private key or seed. It was years ago and I don't know if it still works like that.

It may be off topic, but I'll add another possibility: if push notification on your smartphone are also OK instead of e-mail, blue wallet does the job, and again, you can just add an address (watch only, safe) there. Of course, same privacy concern applies.

recently stumbled over TXID 9332c8421680ae7f1f9a8db890028703025074687e7670e026ccbbd62156cb53 and as a beginner I'd like to understand how it's possible that the inputs all show the same address

First of all, you have to understand that a transaction spends inputs, not actual coins.
So if an address A receives today 10 BTC, but has also received yesterday another 12 BTC and one week ago another 8 BTC and the owner wants to send 25 BTC to address B, the transaction will probably be:

Code:
A ( 8 BTC) -|
A (12 BTC) -|
A (10 BTC) -|
            ->  B (25 BTC)
            ->  C (5 BTC minus the tx fee)

where C would be the change address in the same wallet as A (or maybe even A itself).

You can read his whole tweet: https://twitter.com/Justin_Bons/status/1563912991015305216?s=20&t=CCW_pcC7QwXNogJDeKX1Mg

Is what he is tweeting worth it? No. Absolutely not worth it. Full of misleading information

I'm not that much knowledgeable in how Twitter works, but I wonder why isn't it reported for spreading fake information. Wasn't social media fighting (or pretending to do so) against fake news?
2768  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Wallet Label Export Format: A Proposal by Craig Raw on: August 29, 2022, 01:52:15 PM
Then something more: I've learned that best is that a file contains - in a way or another - the version of the protocol/documentation, to allow in the future, if anything is changed/added, still handle everything correctly or know from start it's not a supported version. Of course, then the use-in-excel may no longer work.

This is generally good advice and has been suggested elsewhere. However, the 'use-in-excel' goal makes this tricky. If such a version must be specified but is not present (and all other data is fine), should the import fail? In general users won't know which version number to use, even if it is readily possible to add it (say in the column headers). Also, it's difficult to see how this format could be extended in a way that required a version number to differentiate, so again I'm not sure it's worth the cost.

Indeed, if use-in-excel is so important, this can become tricky (there can be a column with the version, but it's imho more a hack than a proper solution).

If the version is missing - again, it depends.. one direction would be that the "version info" could also contain something (a name) that will ensure one really imports what he expects, not just a random csv.
Another direction could be to assume it's at least version 1 (if version info is missing). Of course, this kind of approach may just "pass the responsibility" for finding a solution to those proposing an extension (or a new version).
2769  Other / Off-topic / Re: Recommended 2FA app for Windows on: August 29, 2022, 10:32:00 AM
It would be good if you can give me a link to a trustworthy android emulated that I can be able to use on Windows, if there are, it would be the best way to go for me.

I know that Android Studio - Google's development tool for Android - contains emulator for Android. Imho it cannot be any more trusted.
But that (installing a full dev tool only for the emulator) may be a bit of overkill.

I've lost contact with those tools many years ago, so I expect you can get better answers (tools, configuration) from others. I've just suggested a new direction for your actions.

Ce sa mai, un concediu frumos. Sper sa ai si tu parte de unul minunat, daca nu ai avut deja Smiley
Eh, asta nu prea merge. Sunt acum in Apuseni.. si nu ne prea lasa ploaia sa ne facem damblaua pe coclauri... sau cel putin nu cat am vrea.

Pana la urma am avut noroc. Sau poate ca ai pus tu o lumanare Cheesy
De miercuri s-a facut vreme frumoasa, asa ca pana la urma am avut concediul OK.



Se pare ca avem inca un concurs si nimeni nu l-a postat de vineri:

Transportul este gratuit.

Note:
* nu am inteles exact in ce consta premiul 3

LE: concurs incheiat



Uitasem complet (multa treaba, plus concediu) de concursul de pe partea germana a forumului. Am participat acum, plus l-am pus si in lista de la inceputul acestui topic.
Vad ca lumea nu s-a inghesuit inca, pare ca toti asteapta ultimul moment?!
Cu scuzele de rigoare, nu am scris mai nimic acolo, ca Germana mea e prea slabuta si nici sa pun Google translate nu era prea OK. Multumesc 1miau si GazetaBitcoin pentru concurs si multumesc din nou pentru invitatie!
2773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We are all Hodlonaut on: August 29, 2022, 08:59:24 AM
which side are you on again?
are you pro
core/LN/blockstrema(segwit,UASF)

or are you anti
coinbase, chain analysisblocq(xt segwit2x)

because they are all funded by the same team

In all the countries you'll find businessmen funding politicians from all the parties (and maybe all the parties too). This ensures them a spot on the winning side, no matters who wins, but doesn't mean they believe in all of those (it would be absurd). They may not even care, as long as it's a good business and the invested money gets returned plus some extra (in a way or another).

I think that it may also be the case here, hence bringing DCG into discussion may not be actually relevant.

however if DCG got its many dozens of businesses to file many dozens of claims against CSW, then its then CSW that has to do the running around

Would this be a good business for them? Would it pay off?
2774  Other / Off-topic / Re: Recommended 2FA app for Windows on: August 29, 2022, 08:45:45 AM
Presently, I only have the backups of my 2FA secret codes of the exchanges, I am looking for a Windows 2FA app that I can import it. I was using Aegis before because it is open source and highly recommended on this forum, but not on Windows, I searched Window's app store, I was only familiar with winOTP, but I do not know if it is recommended too? I checked https://getaegis.app/, they only have Android and F-Driod apps, no app for Windows.

I will go for another direction. It may worth at least a quick thinking.

Since Aegis works only on Android and F-Droid and you have your data in there (and can be exported from Aegis and imported to another Aegis), maybe the direction you could take is to install on your Windows an Android Emulator and install Aegis there. It may be less hassle...
2775  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance announced investing on DID, is it safe? on: August 29, 2022, 08:34:34 AM
But the company is in control of the data

This is a problem and a central point of failure too. Binance was hacked in the past, isn't it?
Even more, with so nice bunch of buzz words - private key, cryptography, blockchain, decentralized (identifier) - one will think it's as secure and decentralized as bitcoin, and it's not. It's centralized.
And I also don't think that only the user can access that identity; I think that Binance and that user can access the identity. And maybe the hackers too. And maybe also those buying this info from Binance...

So for now I'd be very wary about all this. It looks to me as a nicely wrapped... trap.
2776  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why full time to crypto why not to Skills on: August 29, 2022, 08:28:05 AM
Dear community I have researched almost % of people's stepping towards crypto without any proper training and attention and losing their money for greedy mind...

Bitcoin means investment or trading, but it means technology too. People can learn valuable things from this forum if they want to... and they do, if they're not overly lazy and overly greedy.
And if they are lazy/greedy, they will not care about skills anyway...

So, unfortunately, I think that you're barking up the wrong tree, unless you know a cure for greediness...

I'm also not in love with the domain url (.me), but the nicer alternatives are either taken or too expensive. preev is a great catchy name and it works amazing.

You haven't look around well enough and you've messed the chance for getting preev.net
However, your code is live on preev.net (I don't know for how long); you can see here and (better) a whole discussion here.
2778  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: preev.net - what it should have and how it should look? on: August 29, 2022, 07:57:50 AM
it was my mistake, because I am so used to typing my own urls... I typed www.preev.net and it should be https://preev.net/

I don't see it as a mistake, I see it as a (good!) test.

I think that nowadays every website can and should make both www. and simple urls work.
And probably this can help OP fix that.

When Bitcoin switches to post quantum algo - which one will it take?

The first question is whether Bitcoin needs a change for this yet. And I think that the answer is still no.

And if so, sorry, but your question makes no sense (and I'm being nice). From what I've read some of those submissions may be a bad joke. So we will need to see which of those is/are good enough and pass the test of time. May be some options, may be none(!), however, we simply don't know that now. So, again, your question doesn't make sense because it cannot get a proper answer.
