This is a good idea but not everyone can set the right fee using this type of wallet
Why not? There is plenty of guides around how to set up the fee manually, even on this forum. As a matter of fact, here is a good one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182906.0


in my case, i use the wallets which already have a set transaction fee, i will have to switch to electrum wallet to i can manage my transaction fees on my own but i have no idea how to use mempool.
No reason really to use those kind of wallets as on top of overpaying, they are often close-sourced meaning less safe

That suggestion would've been more beneficial to both OP and the rest of us if you mentioned any of the cheaper and reliable alternatives. It's so to enable interested parties know what names to look out for.
Obvious choices are the two most popular ones: Trezor Model One for ~$85 and Ledger Nano S Plus for ~$80. If I am OP. I would buy one of these two and use the difference to buy more bitcoin.

I was once interested in paying with bitcoin and eth when I saw an online shopping site, but unfortunately when all shopping lists were collected and the time to pay me canceled because of the transaction fee of more than $ 5, I think the classic problem of Bitcoin that could not be resolved was a more expensive transaction fee if compared to free bank transfers.
In huge majority if cases Bitcoin transaction fee is only a problem if you are using wallets where you can't manually set the fee so the wallet makes you overpay the transactions several times over. Alternative is to use wallets like Electrum with the combination of https://mempool.space/ where you can check what's the fee needed for your transaction to go through. Use that and you will see that sending bitcoin ain't that expensive at all.
2964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you own 1 Bitcoin? (2022 edition) on: August 14, 2022, 07:40:46 AM
yes I have 1 bitcoin, but not in the form of bitcoin but in the form of a house.
Then you don't have 1 bitcoin, as simple as that.


Damn I didn't expect that already 25% of the users so far are owning 1 BTC, somehow I thought the ratio would be a little lower. Good
Since everyone can vote as they please, I would take results of the poll with the grain of salt. Then again, there's quite a few bitcoiners here so I wouldn't be surprised if many already have at least 1 bitcoin.

2965  Economy / Economics / Re: Credit cards | A scam or a tool? on: August 13, 2022, 01:17:24 PM
Credit card are only for rich people and In my country having those is not necessary at all because it will only make us having more debts in the end.
I would say its quite contrary, as without it many people in my country wouldn't be able to do many things. In the end its all about how you use your card; if you are using it to buy useless/overpriced things of course you will end up rekt, but if you are smart and using it to buy only something that you really need and can't afford at the moment (for example you need new washing machine), it proves to be quite useful.


I agree that credit cards is a tool to scam people having such high rates that will trick people and every time they fall for it.
I don't know which credits cards you are suing, but the ones I've seen been used by people around me certainly don't have high rates.,

Some people, however, are taking advantage of the cashback chances offered by cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency cards. I realise that cryptocurrencies and blockchain are only a small portion of the public, but why are those who are currently interested not using bitcoin for payment?
Because even if you want, you can't really buy many things using bitcoin, as simple as that. And one doesn't exclude the other as I am paying with bitcoin whenever I can, but for everything else I am using crypto debit card as currently there is no cheaper and easier way to spend your crypto.

Mainstream adoption is a slow and tedious process that won't happen anytime soon, and until then I see crypto debit cards and payment processors as just another step towards that goal.
2967  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need suggest on: August 12, 2022, 05:26:22 PM
I bought many tokens, the price is now much lower than the money I bought it with. Is there a possibility that the market will rise in the future?
99% of those altcoins won't ever come back to the old all time high and sooner you realize that, the better. I was in a similar situation back in 2018 when I had bunch of altcoins that dropped much compared to the price it was when I initially bought them. After some thinking I've decided to sell all of them with a loss and it proved to be an excellent decision because if I waited for a new bull market, I would lose way more. Its not easy to sell with the loss, but more often than not it is a right decision.


Buying tokens that are not in the top 30 in CMC is considered useless to me and should be taken serious risk if taken for consideration.
There are bunch of risky and useless shitcoins in top 30 so its not like it is a much lower risk.
2968  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Another one bites the dust! But this one's different. The Hotbit case. on: August 11, 2022, 05:06:22 PM
I remember these guys going over to different telegram groups offering listing service and they were also blatant about it to offer proof that they are indeed working for hotbit.
Basically all Tier 2 and below exchanges have their people spamming Telegram groups and offering listing (majority are fake of course but legit ones do exist) so this is nothing out of ordinary.


If others are still trusting centralized platforms until now, it's time to rethink seriously.
I don't think that many (those who trust/use them) will change their opinion about centralized exchanges after this thing with Hotbit. These things happened before and will keep happening in the future and people keep using using CEXes more and more.

Uch... Keanu... kuch... Reeves...  Grin
Keanu je zakon, meni jedan od najdrazih trenutno aktivnih glumaca (u svakom slucaju drazi od Cruisa) te covjek izgleda nevjerojatno dobro za svoje godine (i to dosta bolje nego Cruise), ali kad je u pitanju ta "predanost", ipak nije ta razina. Cisto da razjasnim da ja ovdje pricam o fizickom aspektu jer se potegla teza da je Tom Cruise starac, a covjek je u top formi. Jos jedan dobar primjer spreme je odradivanje hrpe  opasnih HALO skokova (high altitude – low opening) za potrebe snimanja onog zadnjeg MI.

Evo jedan zanimljivi video u kojem upravlja sa P-51 (kultni lovac iz WW2) te sa L-39 Albatros. Htio je upravljati i sa F-18 koji se koriste u filmu, ali mu vojska nije dozvolila.

Nisam ni ja gledao novi TopGun ali sumnjam da će biti dobar.
Mislim da to dosta ovisi o tome da li ti je prvi Top Gun bio dobar. Ako je (meni je super, iako znam da je to obicna propaganda), vrlo vjeropjatno ce ti biti dobar i nastavak jer igra na nostalgiju. Dosta frendova ga je pogledalo (svi fanovi originala i 40+) i apsolutno svima je film bio super tako da i ja ocekujem isto.


60-godišnji starac Tom Cruise nakon mnogo plastičnih operacija ponovno leti, nije mi realno, isto kao i starci Schwarzenegger i Linda Hamilton u filmu Terminator Dark Fate Tongue
Film je sniman 2018-2019 tako da je Cruise bio par godina mladji a cak i da je sniman ove godine, 60 nije prestaro za vojnog pilota (recimo nas Selak je do 57 godine bio vojni pilot). A sto je jos najbitnije, Tom Cruise je u brutalnoj formi, covjek je totalni manijak kad je u pitanju fizicka sprema tako da je garant fizicki spremniji nego 95% ekipe mladje od 40 godina koji uglavnom skupljaju mast pred kompjuterom/tvom te bez problema moze proci kao netko od 50 godina. Svi znamo za Cruisa da je cudak, ali vec dugo godina nema veceg filmskog profesionalca od njega, stuntovi koje on radi rijetko tko od glumaca bi se usudio izvesti.

Tako da, usporedba Cruisa sa Svarcijem (koji je imao 70 i nesto kad je sniman zadnji Terminator) i Lindom koja se skroz ofucala bas i ne stoji.

 
Da znam za sva ta swapanja, ali posto nisam citao strip niti namjeravam, to me ne pogadja. Da sam fan, e to bi bila skroz drukcija prica i vjerojatno bi popizdio na to ali ovako me nije previse briga dok god serija funkcionira.
2971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador claim bitcoin attracts tourists right or wrong? on: August 09, 2022, 05:01:49 PM
And for me traveling to a place where you can transact anything with bitcoin get me so curious to fly there and give it a shot on how bitcoin environment built there. It's a curiousity that makes people like me could splash the money to travel to el salvador to feel the experience by myself.
Fair enough, but how many bitcoiners like you know, that are willing to travel to another country just to experience spending some bitcoin directly? From my experience, not many "bitcoiners" actually spend bitcoin even when they can and instead they chose to rather spend fiat so I doubt that El Salvador can attract many bitcoin-tourists that way.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind going to some country where I can spend bitcoin directly (as a matter of fact I did something relatively similar to that few times, going for a vacation to a foreign country and paying everything with crypto debit card only) but that location should offer me more stuff than just having bitcoin as a legal tender.

2972  Other / Meta / Re: For mods - be a little more careful when handling reports on: August 08, 2022, 06:06:00 PM
I'm not aware of how reports are handled, but there could be a possibility that a mod makes a mistake while trying to take action on a report, marking it as bad rather than good. Such an oversight could be the reason for the obvious wrong calls.
Mistake I saw happening the most often (at least to me) is that every once in a while report gets marked as good, while no action is taken. Since all this is done manually, no surprise that every once in a while mods forget to delete the post.


Great, that's a mini reassurance for all of us.
Lucius may now sleep well tonight Grin
I don't think that few reports marked as bad was a major concern for Lucius, but the fact that Bitcoin Discussion board is full of topics and posts that shouldn't be there.

A ja sam bio sam zabrinut da si prestao gledati filmove, ali u pravu si kad si rekao da nema ništa posebno dobro za gledati.
A da, lose ljeto. Ja cekam da ovaj novi Top Gun dodje u "videoteke", kad vec nisam isao gledati u kino.


Gledao sam Prey, i nije loš ali mislim da je mogao trajati kraće, i opet malo guraju novu priču o jakim ženama i slabim muškarcima, ali nije loš kontrast sa Schwarzeneggerom.
Dugacak film a traje samo cca sat i 40? Sta je toliko dosadan da se cini dug? I da, ocekujem da se gura woke agenda i u tom filmu.



@Trofo pogledao sam prve cetiri The Sandman epizode i za sada mi je dosta dobro, meni osobno najbolja ekranizacija necega od Neila Gaimana. Nisam doduse citao strip tako da nemam pojma koliko je vjeran originalnom predlosku ali meni bas sjeda, a pogotovo glavni lik koji mi je ugodno iznenadjenje jer sam ocekivao nesto skroz drugo kad sam vidio neke slike na IMDbu.
2974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador claim bitcoin attracts tourists right or wrong? on: August 07, 2022, 05:08:08 PM
Do you think 15 bitcoin worth of transaction is a small figure with respect to USD, when you do the conversion you will discover that it's a reasonable amount at least on just a single entity made for transaction.
I think that you misunderstood what @Accardo  wrote; that hotel owner didn't have 15 BTC worth of transactions, but overall 15 bitcoin transactions which is entirely different thing and far from impressive.



I know quite a few bitcoiners in real life who regularly go to exotic locations and I never heard any of them wanting to go to El Salvador just because bitcoin is a legal tender there and I gotta say that fact would be very low on my priority list when choosing for a next vacation location. So yeah, I don't think that bitcoin attracts many tourists there.


2975  Other / Archival / Re: Scamfari - Report a scam and earn money on: August 07, 2022, 08:49:49 AM
Hmm, getting a bit concerned that everyone is talking about the money, hell, nobody got paid for the thousands of reports in the Scam section, and nobody got paid for thousands of posts reported on this forum, why focus on the money?
Well, that's not entirely true as majority of scambusters are in signature campaigns so in the end they are getting paid for their activity.


NFT period got nothing on ICO period when it came to scams that were being reported here.
Key word is "here". The only reason why less scams are reported here than before its because less scammy projects are making announcement threads here.



Scamfari report system looks very easy to abuse with fake reports (you create another Telegram account and then just make bs conversation using new wallet that you created just for that purpose and if i learned something so far is that if something can be abused for personal gain, it most certainly will.

You are right, he is banned now, but he asked a question, he can just browse this forum online and check this thread to know the right the to do. This thread can still be helpful for him.
Seeing that he got banned for multiple plagiarism, this topic was probably a merit fishing thing and not a genuine interest so I doubt that he really cared about the answers here.

Are you really serious about asking about Coinbase wallet, I think the answer to your question is easy.
If you go to google about Coinbase wallet, there are hundreds of reviews that say as below.
Just because Coinbase is well known and used by many, it doesn't mean that people shouldn't be careful and asking questions as if learned anything from crypto so far is that no exchange is too big to fail, including Coinbase. I am not saying that Coinbase wallet is not safe, but imho there are safer options out there.


If you go to google about Coinbase wallet, there are hundreds of reviews that say as below.
You could do the same for Celsius and results would be very much similar, everyone thought that it was perfectly safe as it was heavily regulated and we know how that ended up. So yeah, better be safe than sorry.

Mislim da Rikafip i ostali članovi spavaju i ne gledaju više filmove  Smiley
Ma gledam ja filmove redovno, nego nisam pogledao nista u zadnje vrijeme da me toliko izulo iz cipela da bi mogao preporuciti ovdje.  A Prey ce se uskoro gledati, iako ne ocekujem puno.


Prije dosta godina sam pogledao legendarnu seriju i jednu od najboljih koju sam ikad gledao The Wire.
Zica je meni osobno nabolja serija ikad snimljena, pravo remek djelo. Gledao sam ju najmanje 5 ili 6 puta do sada i svakih par godina pogledam iz pocetka i svaki put mi je sve bolja i bolja. To se posebno odnosi na drugu sezonu koja mi je na prvo gledanje bila najslabija (ali i dalje jako dobra) da bi mi trenutno to bila najbolja sezona uopce.








2980  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the Coinbase wallet safe? on: August 04, 2022, 05:38:27 PM
I've been allocating some savings to BTC. I keep seeing exchanges fall, and not your keys not your coin. I've been using the Coinbase wallet app. Is that safe?

 If Coinbase goes down am I out?
 I need to look into a cold wallet but for right now am I good?
If I am you, I would rather store my BTC on a open-source non-custodial wallets like Electrum until you get one of the hardware wallets (which I suggest you get as soon as possible, especially if you already have decent amount of BTC).



If you didn't have your keys while storing your crypto on that wallet which means not your coins.  All centralized exchanges aren't ideally good for storing our crypto assets in a long term, all of them are prone to scams that might end up shutting down.
He is not storing his bitcoin on Coinbase, but on their wallet which is a non-custodial.
