2821  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Do you have to stake a new Trust wallet to receive a 5 figure BTC transfer? on: August 22, 2022, 07:15:49 AM


The scammers tend to ask for over complicated and completely unnecessary actions/setup to make you think you do something wrong.
I don't know Trust wallet (I use Electrum), but for any transaction all you need the transaction ID. You look it up yourself and see it was sent (and confirmed!). If that is done, you have the money, if it's not, then you are being scammed.

I recommend you use hardware wallets for 4 figures amounts, I recommend you learn to look up a transaction on multiple block explorers (and it would be nice to also try to avoid scammers)

Hello sir, you are right. And I think the right thing you said was that because he was wrong, you righted that wrong. That's why I think you're right. Thank you for saying the right thing.

After reading this I may no longer use the words "right" and "wrong" for a while.
I still don't understand what makes people spend the time to write such utter nonsense.

(I'll report it, so you may not see the source after a short while).
2825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hackers exploit zero day bug to steal from General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs on: August 22, 2022, 06:38:13 AM
I don't quite understand how these kinds of hacks happen. Probably because the Bitcoins are held in a web wallet instead of a hardware wallet, I understand.

Since some people sell BTC and others buy BTC from those ATMs, I expect they have a hot wallet and they also work with exchange(s), hence, for optimizing the things, they may also have funds at exchanges. So a cold storage or hardware wallet would make sense for their profit and for other funds not needed daily. The rest would stay in hot wallets and the process would be automated.
(As mk4 also said) If they would keep the "hot" funds in HW, human intervention would be needed every time somebody buys BTC from them; not OK.

So I'd say the hot wallet is gone, basically like we see on any exchange's hack.
2826  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be wary of crypto/blockchain bridges! on: August 22, 2022, 06:24:50 AM
People just need to stay away mediocre bridge because they are the one bringing bad name on blockchain bridge.

People rush to implement this or that, and obviously release it in production in order to earn money.
The fact it's in production doesn't mean it's safe. In most cases it's far from even properly tested (and not only for security).
One of the best tests is the test of time. Because these honeypots do attract hackers, no matter what, and they are a test.

But do people/users want to wait? No! They jump in! I don't expect them read the code, but some cautiousness would be nice.

I wonder if the suspects are the same on all those incident.  If yes,  then he must be really an asshole for taking up people's money just like that.

I wouldn't go that far, but I would also not rule out this possibility. One example can be N.Korea's state hackers, for which all of us are enemies.
And even if it's not them, do you really expect the hackers be nice people who care about their victims?! Then they would notify the team, not steal people's money!
2827  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How can I import Blockchain.Com Wallet in Bitcoin Core ? on: August 19, 2022, 11:48:45 AM
Does its mean if the Bitcoin Core is fully downloaded and synced, the import functionalities do not work ?

If not synced the funds will not be shown properly, creating/sending out transactions will also not work.

I created few wallets in Bitcoin Core but I'd does not allow me to sign or verify messages. I could not even import a paper wallet and private key in Bitcoin Core. If I down load the complete blockchain will the Bitcoin Core work properly ?

Signing, verifying should work. I think that importing too. So, as said, please give more details on the errors you've got.



LE: Just a thought: are you trying, by chance, to use wallets taken or bought from the internet?!?
2828  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How can I import Blockchain.Com Wallet in Bitcoin Core ? on: August 19, 2022, 10:41:50 AM
I have a Wallet in Blockchain.Com. I want import it to my Bitcoin Core QT. It is not allowing me to import it. Can anyone assist me and guide me step by step to import my Bitcoin Address ?

Thank you for your help.

I also agree with Charles-Tim: it's easier and safer to just create a new wallet into Bitcoin Core and send the funds there. If you use minimum fee (1 sat/vbyte) it will most probably be processed this week-end (maybe even today).
I will add that it's not only that Bitcoin Core cannot use the seed, it's also that since it was user with a web service, I would not consider it that safe.

Plus:
* if you have big amount of funds, you may want to buy a hardware wallet for safety
* keep in mind that Bitcoin Core needs to download the whole blockchain (450 GB) and by default it also stores it (you can prune it, but that can come with other surprises like the need to re-download everything when you change wallet); this means time and resources you have to be prepared for.
* you will have to keep backup of your bitcoin core wallet.dat file
* if you think that bitcoin core is not the best option for you, maybe you take a look at SPV wallets (simple wallets) that don't need so much resources (they connect to external servers, they also use seed so the backup is easier) like Electrum or Sparrow.
2829  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Can I pay one of you experts to help me retrieve my armory wallet? on: August 19, 2022, 08:51:20 AM
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.

2831  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I found a paper wallet on a beach ... seriously on: August 19, 2022, 08:19:17 AM
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  Grin

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.
2832  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: I found a paper wallet on a beach ... seriously on: August 19, 2022, 08:00:29 AM
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.
2833  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are candlestick patterns overrated? on: August 19, 2022, 07:33:40 AM
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.
2834  Other / Meta / Re: [SURVEY] Who thinks the Lemmings should also be removed as Merit Sources? on: August 19, 2022, 07:27:31 AM
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.
2836  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Basic Bitcoin mining question. Any answers appreciated. on: August 19, 2022, 07:13:04 AM
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.
2837  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it true that Satoshi Nakamoto has 1.1 million bitcoins ? on: August 19, 2022, 07:09:21 AM
What this really the satoshi wallet?
Code:
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.

2839  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there a problem with Mixabit mixer? on: August 18, 2022, 07:36:23 PM

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=2827109.0
2. 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.
2840  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: help needed I got attacked by hacker??? on: August 18, 2022, 02:59:16 PM
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.
