Please run a "bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo" so we can ensure that your node isn't just connecting to itself on the loopback IP address which would mean that your Tor config is preventing you from getting new connections.
And also, have you checked that TOR is working in general? Can you get to other onion addresses? Someone else here was having an issue a while back getting TOR connections and after much digging around restarting just TOR fixed it. -Dave |

Payment means that you transfer SOMEthing. That is correct. If there is NOthing transferred then obviously no one is paid their dues. This is also true. So, there is no money in Satoshi's creation. That's false, because money is used to settle transactions and Bitcoin is also used to settle transactions. People find it satisfactory to use a public, decentralized and censorship-resistant ledger to deal with. The units can be defined as space in the ledger even if they don't represent something that is tangible. If it was meaningless, you could cheat those people electronic pockets. It's just a number that doesn't represent anything, as you put it, but you can't change it. The censorship resistance suddenly proves its usefulness. @BlackHatCoiner you do know you are arguing with a troll. Just put him on ignore (like all the girls did to him) and he will go away. Sooner or later he will have to leave his moms basement and go to his job of sweeping up the wal-mart parking lot and target his trolling on something else. -Dave |

Side note but it is something I posted about 1 year ago. Never delete old wallets if possible: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5325660Probably deserves a bump to bring it back to where people can see and talk about it again. -Dave |

Lets start with YES the OP fucked up.
But Slush / Braiins is also doing it wrong.
You can setup an account at Slush and never add 2FA. (OPs mistake)
If someone gets your username & password they can then add a UBIKey or other form of 2FA WITHOUT any other form of checking (i.e. an email asking if you want to do this).
In theory, if you get a hold of someones user / password but nothing else. You would not be able to withdraw, since THAT requires an email. But you could change their payout address and add a 2FA device that they do not have access to, more or less locking them out of their BTC.
Just about every other place I have used either FORCES 2FA in the beginning, or you get a verification email / text / whatever before adding the 2nd.

And keep in mind in the US some STATES will take inheritance a certain way that differs from the government.
In the end, the best advice as always is consult a tax professional. Because even if what we give you here is 100% accurate and the best advice possible, it would be for TODAY. If you, or whoever die after Jan 1st 2023 then it might be totally different.

Ping out to Artemis3 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=980501 and see if he can help you or at least point you towards someone who might be able to. If not just keep pinging out to the general help people eventually someone might do something. Surprised that they don't have a confirmation email when adding 2FA, that is usually a standard thing to do. Good luck. -Dave |

Just click ignore on the OP and move on.
This 'bitcoin is just a number' thing keeps coming up, and we keep responding to it.
It's probably just the same troll or couple of trolls who have no money or job or anything else, who will never be able to get anything never mind any crypto and just come here to ramble on.
That or conspiracy theory nutcase. Either way, just ignore them and they will go back to just sitting in their parents basement not bothering anyone.

I posted in another thread about this, but beyond the good and bad of the fingerprint, they probably want you to use their app & software so they can track you better. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5341906.msg59307599#msg59307599This is how integrated block / cashapp is within their ecosystem. Do you want to give them knowledge of your BTC spending habits? -Dave |

Your WAN IP is only for you. Your ISP gives your modem an IP and then passes it back to all the machines on your network. Once you sent those ports back to your machine there are many scanners that will take to machines and get some basic information. Take a look at https://www.tenable.com/products/nessus for one of them. If you don't want to setup and do it yourself some people like hostedscan: https://hostedscan.com/ Keep in mind on top of shutting down the ports and everything else you still should go back and hit your machine with several AV scanners just to be safe. Especially if you are going to be storing anything of value there. -Dave (1) When you say that that WAN IP is only for you, does that mean that each LAN IP address has a unique WAN IP address? (2) Thanks for suggestions on two IP scanners. I have tried both Zenmap and Angry IP Scanner. In neither case have I obtained port output. Probably there is a configuration error on my part. On the other hand, better designed software has more intuitive configuration options, so I will compare the two you suggest with the two I have tried and see if I can get a clear indication of port status. At the very least I should see 8333 tcp open bitcoin syn-ack. That will be proof positive that I'm using the software correctly. (3) If correct open and closed port status is bulletproofing, you suggest that you need to keep up with AV scanners for further protection when one stores coin. I want to confirm that that doesn't fit my use case because I do not use the Full Node wallet, rather, I created it but it has 0.0 coin; I use a cold wallet with "seed" backup. However, I will send a few sats to Full Node wallet for practive to learn how to use it. Maybe in time I will divide assets between wallets. I appreciate your responses!No, your cable modem / router gets 1 IP from your provider. Then through NAT you can have 100s of devices behind it. And, although it may be out of your control also keep in mind there are may router vulnerabilities out there too. So having AV software on your PC is a must, because even if you do everything right, if your router is compromised it can then attack your PC in addition to the outside world. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/cable-haunt-security-vulnerability-affected-modemshttps://www.securityweek.com/millions-routers-impacted-netusb-kernel-vulnerabilityhttps://routersecurity.org/bugs.phpAnd so on. -Dave |

Makes you wonder how much of the companies leaving has nothing to do with wanting to but they are being forced to.
It's tough to sell burgers in McDonalds if you can get meat in from the outside world.
I can sell donuts & coffee at Dunkin Donuts if the beans & dough can't make past the border.
And if they do, there is no way to get my money back out.
So a business might want to stay open, but there is no way for them to.
As for large amounts of their 'home grown' products being sourced from all over the world, as others have said that is just about everything everywhere.
Which was way so many people were laughing at the Trump people cheering when they were "going to bring manufacturing back to the USA" No, you are going to try to bring assembling things to the USA.

Drifting a bit OT but if port 17500 is open to the world then something is REALLY wrong with the dropbox install. It's supposed to only have 17500 for P2P for the local LAN only. It should not respond to anything off of 192.168.1.x, so if it is, there is probably something else wrong. -Dave |

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/german-prosecutors-charge-fraud-wirecard-collapse-83432812FRANKFURT, Germany -- German prosecutors have charged the former CEO of payments company Wirecard and two other ex-managers with fraud and false accounting in connection with the firm's collapse last year amid allegations that much of its revenue and assets were faked.
Prosecutors in Munich said Monday that ex-CEO Markus Braun signed off on financial reports he knew were false. They said the firm booked nonexistent revenue it attributed to multiple partnerships in other countries and used fake documents to show it had funds that it did not. For those of you that don't remember Wirecard was big into crypto debit cards including the crypto.com card and others. A lot of Russian Mob / Dubai money was moving through them. Break out the popcorn it's going to be a good shown watching everyone throw everyone else under the bus. -Dave

STOP and LEARN before giving advice.
Per your advice, modem firewall is ON and three Windows firewalls--Domain, Public, Private--are ON. For the latter, I gave permission for the Core to pass through the Windows' firewall(s). I shut down the Core, re-booted, started Core, and can confirm that I have data incoming and outgoing.
Whereas I appreciate your advice, and I have followed your advice, your "injunction" STOP and LEARN before giving advice is a little arrogant. Did I not do exactly that?
(1) I started with a problem (In: 0), proceeded through various steps and achieved success.
(2) Therefore, some of the procedures I initiated were correct; however, others were not, as you pointed out and demonstrated.
(3) I STOPPED at your reply and LEARNED from it.
People generally, including me, do not say stupid things on purpose. They make mistakes and others correct them, which is the purpose of a forum such as this.
The reason it sounded a bit arrogant is the fact that there are guides and discussions on how to do things and if you had asked 1st before doing anything you many have avoided some of those security issues. And if someone else followed your guide they would have the same issues. Other thoughts: I did mention that I saw port 17500 showing possibly open, did you run a good offline virus scanner? I also mentioned the RPC port and password, did you verify that you have them setup properly. -Dave |

Or you are the scammer. Lets take a look at your post history: https://loyce.club/archive/members/281/2819156.htmlAccording to your posts, you have been scammed by luckyfish.io and now here. And they 'owe' you about $150000 Any reason you have deleted so many of your old posts? -Dave |

To set up, I turned off my modem’s firewall. YMMV. My modem had two different menus: one for port forwarding and one for port triggering. Since you can use either one, choose the simplest one. For me, that was port forwarding. The first thing I could see was that it was not possible to open port 8333 because there was no field in which to put a single port, that there were only fields to express a range, so I put in 1024 and 65535.
.....
DO NOT DO THIS.You now have every port going to your PC. Any piece of software that has anything open or vulnerable is now exposed to the internet. You also did not mention setting a complex RPC password and locking down the allowed RPC IP addresses of the node. STOP and LEARN before giving advice. Since you gave out your IP address I did a 30 second scan of that IP: 23 tcp open telnet syn-ack 5040 tcp open unknown syn-ack 5700 tcp open supportassist syn-ack <-- look you are running a Dell have you updated to the latest version of support assist? There are many known vulnerabilities. It is actually running a webserver on that port that anyone in the world can now connect to. 7680 tcp open pando-pub syn-ack 8333 tcp open bitcoin syn-ack 49665 tcp open syn-ack 49666 tcp open syn-ack 58449 tcp open syn-ack
Also just saw port 17500 is showing open at times, the crazzy net trojan talks on that port -Dave made some edits & updates with more information. |

Unless something has changed since I played with it back in 2020 you can't revert you have to reset and start again.
You should do that anyway, unless you can be 100% certain that enough of the secrets did not get out where people could recover your wallet.
