The computer "file" analagy confuses me, your bitcoin is stored on the blockchain. Your control of that bitcoin is dependent on having a compound of a few numbers that make up the public and private key.

I did a bit of a search though and found this: https://www.groovewallet.com/what-a-billion-dollars-looks-like/ it depicts 100 million dollars being the size of a crate that could fit in a wardrobe, that aside, if you use €500 notes and post your wardrobe/fridge to wherever you'll be using a courier then it might still reach you (especially if you split it in 10 and pay them well for it)...

But yes bitcoin is a lot easier to smuggle through a border and especially if you just use memory (there's also not really much you can do if you remember your seed well enough) - I doubt you'd be needing to declare that). But I think bitcoin has some serious liquidity issues anyway once you get it across the border?

I mean if you were trying to force other people to do something why would you patent it?

Although they could also be finding a way to become more profitible by selling on their users' IDs and other personal information, doing chain analytics or trying to track people that are against decentralisation (and they could be doing that one indirectly if there security isn't that good then a bunch of other people might be able to gain access to know who their users are that won't confirm their transactions because it's painted gray...

Where are you importing it from? What sort of wallet were you using before or do you just have a private key?

If you just have the private key or a mnemonic phrase you can import it into electrum and it won't charge you a fee...

Can you post the txid or address and a screenshot of what the wallet says?

You haven't given much info, are the funds confirmed or unconfirmed in the wallet?

I don't think your intentions are clear here: are you trying to see if you've got this right or are you offering this for other people to learn from?

All are true except for paragraph 2 also as I think you might want to state if this is referring to pruning or the chainstate (as I'm. Thinking it's chainstate bit you might want to make that clear).

I wonder how long that will take or if it ever will change... It's probably been 20000 years at least since external threats have been a danger and a burden for only one gender (I think modern agriculture is around that time and, if not, that's what I'd put as the benchmark for when we no longer needed gender specific roles for survival).
But there is also a chance it might never be completely fixable for a long time in that case or at all...

I was looking at the top 100 companies in the UK and 5 have a female ceo and I don't think that's an irrelevant statistic either there is likely a gap im missing as well as the patriarchy (which for older companies is likely a problem).

Adventurous is probably the wrong word.

Men are more prone to taking risks and women are more prone to try the tried and tested ways to do things... I'm not really sure why - even in a world where a lot of people are raised a bit more equally. I've think I know one male who's interested and knows how to use bitcoin and basically no one else url. I didn't introduce it to them but I've tried and failed to introduce it to others (they blame the learning curve - I think it's laziness)


Yeah but I don't think it's to do with people not getting gadgets when they're young...

There might be a disparity between ages though too and I can't speak for the 80s or 90s (maybe) but don't girls get tamagotchis, exersketch and other stuff like furbeez as well - they did from the people I knew so probably most of western Europe at least gets that sort of "equality". And women have a history of being codebreakers and computerists (especially around war time periods so idk why that's not coming across...

Did you say how many transactions you're wanting to receive? I think you'll want to keep transactions it less than around 500 inputs and smaller transactions will confirm faster for example imo. Since blocks have more space at the end of the block they could dump a smaller transaction into but many small transactions will be more expensive.

I think you could look at setting some sor tof threshold to get an alert or send those funds when you're over that threshold (and if an individual input sends you over 10% of that target you could look to send in its own transaction (or use 25, 50 or 100%)...

Is your plan to keep the deposit wallet offline if you're saying you'll have a separate hot wallet? If that's the case you'll probably want to make a watching only wallet(if completely possible in core) which would allow you to return a raw unsigned transaction you could then sign on the offline device.

I think this is really silly and can't decide if its the hotel's fault or the vpn providers.

Essentially, you SHOULD be allowed to use a vpn in a hotel because your data to the vpn is authenticated with stronger security and unless you have your own Hotspot/password then the hotel WiFi is extremely insecure and anyone can access anything you send through it (only if they don't give you your own password that is).


VPN's enable tunnelled security techniques. The adverts that say "this von can protect you from dangerous public WiFi" isn't completely wrong. Especially if you connect to a site that doesn't have httos/TLS enabled or one that might be using a free certificate. But the security of a von may rely on the servers not being hacked too before you make an initial handshake with a site on the Internet.

There may be reasons for competition too. What if a company needed to check the oil price of a company in the US but only US customers could access it?

That list looks a lot more accurate!
The UK, Netherlands and Canada have some cultural similarities and population sizes so that makes sense.
Germany and the US have a higher global output afaik and a faster growing economy atm potentially so it makes sense they're at the top.


It'd scare me to connect through Switzerland, I feel they're small enough to have everyone looking at them by now and trying to track or reverse engineer somethibg.

Although I did still side with another European country to route my traffic through most of them are better for data privacy laws at least (whether you like to deselect those cookies or not you at least know they're there).

Yeah gold seems kinda overvalued too when considered against platinum (which is even better for industrial processes requiring gold).

I think people with wealth use gold for a tiny portion of their portfolios and instead of what he suggests, people might stock up both as a hedge and use 5% of assets for each (for example) so we could still get a high demand for that. However its also possible things like gold and diamond could be brought back from space missions soon (especially if private entities or Eastern governments plan more missions to space to inspect asteroids for example).

The simulation thing sounds quite good. It's a confusing part of cryptocurrency qhne you first get into it trying to interpret the base 58 stuff...

Are you just targeting for beginners only? If not you could look at covering the lightning network and if you don't yet the omni layer (used for many things including usdt/tether).

Is this just one bank trying to do it? From the article it says ICICI put it through but another one rejected it after considering it. If the rest don't follow people mich just move from the first as long as there are enough machines.

Charging more for out of hours services seems very specific, are they worried there's going to be a bank run (also, this could be incentivising a mini one because people might pull out a month's worth of money instead of a week or a few days).

Isn't there a retest mode or something that means uou can create your own virtual chain? Is there a reason you're wanting to do this?

The fees might also outweigh the price of actually buying those 100 testnet coins and if they didn't then there might be a problem.

The only issue I see is people could start hoarding testnet coins assuming there's going to be some value in them or one might be built up unnecessarily by someone with enough funds to make it happen (which might not be much). Then there's the risk of the chin being reset again and I'm not sure if that's likely if it looks to be quite big at some point...

All the US and Singapore users could be binance to make up the 50% volume...

If Switzerland wanted bitcoin they could buy it they're wealthy? Not to mention that Germany has more nodes than the US when I last checked too (Germany have the most identified nodes by location but there are quite a few that aren't given a location).

Maybe "random economist recognises bitcoin as a partial store of value".

Anyway, i imagine a lot more might start turning in this direction of thinking it might be usable as a store of value. All some economists had was "if you have to keep pricing it against the dollar it's not a real currency" which invalidates every currency as a currency that isn't the dollar...

I think it's difficult trying to do that and you might want to familiarise yourself with the risks and only trade with what you don't NEED.

You could take a look at a service like bisq that'll allow you to buy up to 250 of your currency afaik for a certain time period but it might not be 100% secure (if your balk accepts reversing bank transfers which you ought want to check).

I think it's not a whole mutation of the viral plasmid and just a difference in the physical buildup of the virus. The vaccine will be designed to protect against a certain feature of the virus - some protect against the antigens it has on its cells (which have sadly already mutated in farmed species in Continental Europe and the US - there's no evidence to suggest that strain won't be killed off though especially considering Europe normally has good disease control when the pathogen starts there)... And some will protect against different parts.


Yeha the more interconnected the world is the more likely stuff is to spread. We only didn't have the ebola virus in europe because not many people from areas that had the disease travelled there and ones who did became quite ill soon after and the disease didn't spread well.

It's likely every 20-50 years soon enough we'll get a new strain of a virus similar in stranght tot he coronavirus (with mortality between 0.4-5% with a median around the lower region).

Yeah I think it should be.
