OP, I think that LoyceV's is the best and safest approach, also pretty well written.
If there's a big amount there, this is what you should do.
And if you're not sure, you can ask, and ask, and ask again, for each and every step, until you can do this.

I will add that:
* you may want to not send the entire amount to exchanges (if this is the reason for touching those coins)
* you may want to make sure the destination wallet is safe (maybe hardware wallet, double checked that the recovery seed is indeed correctly written and works) if you touch the coins in order to send them away

A website that's mining cannot mine bitcoin, since Bitcoin can be mined only with special hardware (which you most probably don't have).

So it may be mining altcoins and sell it for bitcoin, in the best case (I'll come back to this). If that happens, you'll be earning coins that worth some pennies, but your computer will consume electricity that'll cost much more than those pennies, so you lose money.

And I'm back to "it's mining altcoins, in the best case". Since it's very few pennies you'd be "earning" (that's if you ignore the electricity cost) like this, there are (at least) 2 directions for this kind of websites:
* if you're lucky, some will show a lot of advertising and will act like faucets, letting you withdraw .. pennies (after a big threshold is reached)
* if you're not too lucky (and this is what I expect to be the most widely spread case) the website will show some nice numbers there, may even steal all the information it can from your computer or at least browser, but you'll never be able to withdraw (and if you insist, you may be lied to deposit money there - under whatever reasons).

TL;DR: you better avoid that kind of websites.

I don't know where you've got these ideas from, but there are plenty of mistakes there.


I guess that you meant there bitcoin was invented or created...
Even more, since the identity of Bitcoin's creator is unknown, hence his country of origin too, your statement cannot hold.


There will always be financial institutions. But some may/will/should choose to work with bitcoin (too).


Bitcoin prices fluctuations make it difficult for many to keep all their funds in bitcoin. Even more, if they earn fiat they already lose by inflation (if the cost of working hour is done in fiat, it's subject to inflation).


It's the state who plays the inflation game. Companies may rise prices more than they should and blame inflation, but that happens only where there's no proper competition (usually weak state, weak law enforcement agencies).

Hmm, ai dreptate. Nu o sa imi fie usor (program exagerat de strans), dar o sa incerc sa vad de colet chiar maine. In cel mai rau caz macar dau cateva telefoane. Multumesc de idee.

I've missed this and it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I think that the current type of democracy always was pretty much an utopia.
I think that for a working democracy all law related institutions have to work and have safeguards (if one doesn't work properly others will fix that).
I think that for a working democracy there's a need that the same set of laws are ruling everywhere.

There will always be people or institutions that will try to not follow the rules. But finding them (and successfully convicting them) without invading privacy is a big challenge that will have to be fixed sooner or later. But without same laws and without fully working institutions in each corner of the world, this is impossible.

He may have had plans to step back at some point, sooner or later, but from my knowledge, Gavin's visit at CIA has greatly rushed the things.

I'm not even convinced whether he has "left" willingly or not...

I have some sort of bug report, I think. It may be nothing, or just a glitch in the matrix, I don't know.

It has 2 parts:
1. If I search for: author GazetaBitcoin, post title paraipan, it gives no returns, hence missing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5266812
Also if I search for: author GazetaBitcoin, post content paraipan, it doesn't return that topic either, and also for example it's missing https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5135232.msg60637543#msg60637543

2. For the last 2-3 days not all the mention notifications seem to come and some 6 merits are missed too (meaning 2 or 3 meriting events)


Both are no biggie, you've done great job on both tools, still, I thought that you may want to know about this.

Pai in primul rand conteaza pretul curentului. Si daca sunt corecte calculele din postarea anterioara, deja stam rau. Apoi, as aduga ca si daca ai avea profit, ar fi mic, insuficient chiar si pentru a plati pentru aparat din primele cateva luni. As mai adauga ca:
* pretul curentului este subventionat si probabil va crese mult in primavara; deci si daca ai avea un mic profit anul asta, la anul nu va mai fi cazul
* tine cont ca aparatele de minat produc mult zgomot si caldura, deci probabil ca nu vei dori sa minezi acasa.


Am facut si eu un calcul cu https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/bitmain-antminer-s9i
Verifica si tu cu pretul de pe ultima ta factura de curent (eventual vezi cu regula de 3 simpla, ca altfel o sa te incurci cu toate taxele care se adauga peste pretul cel frumos de la furnizor)
Mie mia iesit ca, la pretul curent al BTC si al curentului, as pierde daca as mina.

Ii mai dau cateva zile, sa treaca intr-adevar luna, si o sa incep sa ii intreb de sanatate.


Cam da. Adica si iau sansa altuia, si platesc pentru transport, mai deranjez si oamenii sa se dea peste cap sa trimita, mai si sper.. ca sa raman cu buzele umflate? Mai bine pas.


Mda, asta este posta noastra de stat. Exact la fel de serioasa cam ca orice din tara asta.

Multumim!
Bafta sa ai!

Momentan o sa iau o pauza de la concursuri, cel putin cele din State si ma gandesc ce sa fac.
Poate stii ca am castigat un concurs anul asta. Mi-a fost trimis si... deja de o luna AWB-ul arata ca a ajuns la Otopeni, dar Posta Romana nu il "vede". Sper ca nu mi l-au furat astia de la Posta sau mai stiu eu ce... 

Most Russian banks are no longer part of SEPA hence the payment cannot get thru.

But I am not sure why you don't pay with bitcoin.

Or, another thing that comes into my mind would be bestchange, which is an aggregator of various exchanges that buy/sell bitcoin, most of those being Russian (I think) and will probably offer also qiwi, yandex and so on.

LE: A quick check there has shown that even PayPal USD to Qiwi RUR is possible. However, I don't vouch for those platform, be careful and don't work with big amounts until you're sure they're indeed reliable.

From the current price, getting back to last ATH and some more, no matter it's "only" +50% (to get over the much expected 100k), is imho in the books for "explode" 
Actually getting even near to last ATH would already be wonderful, since everything bigger that what banks, gold or stocks offer is already very good.

I think that it may be related to a possible exploit CZ said they've found at another exchange (heh). They may have ensured the same problem cannot happen at Binance.

Of course, they turned a news about a possible problem into a news about maintenance and an advertising...

(He thinks) he's a rock star. Or politician. Every news about him is good or ends up in a lawsuit. Anything else doesn't matter. Shhhh.

If you don't trust Bitcoin enough to believe its price will explode again, be my guest and sell. Nobody forces you hold.
There are many very happy to buy. For some now it's crypto winter, for other it's summer sales.

However, I have a hunch that you made this post to convince others sell, so they basically sell to you or, more likely, your employer.

I'm genuinely surprised you admit that.


I know it will. I don't trust politicians, no matter what's their color. But I guess you also know/expect that it will be worse for both sides.

I am not that knowledgeable in the matter (hence I may be wrong), but the plasma may be only a first step.
I don't know if 2.6 ATM is enough to fuse H2 into He and/or split He into H2 (isn't this that's supposed to happen on long term?)


Here I agree, just, as I said, I expect to see there much much more than 2.6 ATM (and also "a bit" of heat).


And we dreamed about flying to the stars and no luck yet, and we dreamed about running cars with water and no luck yet (although solar panels + water => hydrogen may not be that far from that).
Some dreams came true, some others not. Or not yet.
I do hope I'm too pessimistic and we get to have free energy with basically unlimited supply, maybe even during my lifetime. But I won't hold my breath for that.

Of course you don't, since you chose to trust Putin's propaganda instead of fact-checking everything.
Of course you don't, since you chose to ignore everybody who tells that Putin uses the gas as a war weapon.

But yeah, I don't know why I'm even answering. But at least I won't answer to your friend.

Nuclear fusion is the dream of scientists for quite some time now, and while it sounds great, .. I don't know...
* I don't know if it's indeed possible to be done (to run independently virtually forever) because of its requirements for pressure and starting energy, plus some other conditions I don't know (longest run was under 10 minutes)
* I don't know how (in)secure such a construction would be, since releasing such a pressure means .. a big bomb.

I expect good managers find that out. Actually good managers may not allow such users into campaign in the first place...
Bad managers don't care already, so they won't pay for such a feature.

All we can do is for the sake of the forum (since such behavior is abnormal and leads to shitposts) and clean the weed, but, in my idea, an actual rule is also needed so the mods have the reason to actually remove those when reported. A bot will be a later step (some mods have their own bots too helping in the cleanup work).
