I always imagined part of the reason to introduce the Merit system was to use it to differentiate between posts once enough good posts have been Merit. It just never happened. I can think of many pitfalls, so it's probably a good thing. However, a third party would be able to do this! @TryNinja has a very nice database with posts, and he could probably sort them based on the Merit they received. I did it for Bitcointalk's 10th anniversary art contest (for some reason none of the images work through the image proxy anymore, so it's useless now), and for that topic it made sense. For most topics it will completely mess up the discussion, or show very old posts. Imagine sorting by Merit on the Wall Observer thread, you'll end up with more or less random posts instead of a discussion.

Good news, I can sync again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Is Unstoppable having inbuilt Tor? It must have it, I don't use Orbot.
My initial estimate of long-term bandwidth consumption was way off. It's "only" 1.4 GB in a few weeks now. Not great, not terrible.

And who's saying that Mixin wasn't trustworthy? I'm not defending, but as far as we know, they got hacked The fact that they kept $200 million of other people's money in a hot wallet is what makes them not trustworthy. If a bank loses their customers' money, I don't trust them. The same goes for any other company. From what was said by the founder Feng Xiaodong[1] they lost 50% 100% of customers' money, but they would refund 50% through issuing bond tokens out of thin air for the victims to claim, and this bond tokens would be repurchased by the platform in the future. I don't think that's going to happen, and i believe Mixin network may be insolvent right now. That sounds a lot like what a large exchange did in the past. Who's going to buy made up "bond tokens" of an insolvent company hoping they won't lose more money in the future?

Is it posible that you can add this feature where once we search a bitcoin address the profile bitcoin addresses will be included to the search result? Your best bet it probably just to use Google: site:bitcointalk.org 1NXYoJ5xU91Jp83XfVMHwwTUyZFK64BoAD Downloading all profiles once would take at least 6 weeks, and about 150 GB forum bandwidth. Checking them all on a regular basis is even worse. If you know which profile you're looking for, you may find an old snapshot on one of the archive sites (archive.org, archive.is and more).

I already have everything configured, but even if I didn't, it should be working, since the image link is via the forum proxy. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Does it only happen in this post or in others too? Good point: it works in other posts. Maybe the URL is really just wrong in the other one (but it's hard to check with Bitcointalk's proxy in there).

*just note if we need eXch node ID just to exchange BTC LN to BTC (or another coin). We don't need that to receive BTC LN (just invoice with 0 amount) You don't need to connect to eXch's node to send them a LN payment. That's the "Network" part of "Lightning Network". This was our QR imager truncating large strings which was the case for LN invoices, which got a fix already. I can confirm it now works as expected.

Even though those 100 users who review their service did not continue to use it afterwards but everyone of them (expect a few) review their service top notch and excellent ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Many paid reviews are like that. It's so obvious when reading those reviews.

the topic archive link is no where to be seen Could it be related to the bump button? That changes the code and may not work with the extension. Try a few other topics. I'm not using this extension, so I can't check for myself.

It might be nice if you can create a Offline App that can be used to import private keys for paper wallets. Imagine if you can encrypt the private key offline, before you use it and when you go online to import it.. then it quickly decrypt it before you import it. That's called BIP38 encryption. (It does not give the hacker the time to capture and use it, before you use it) ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) That's a huge gamble! Chances are "the hacker" is just a piece of automated malware, and chances are it's a lot faster than you are. That is of course what you should assume, and take measures to prevent it. So instead of risking everything by decrypting your private key on an online computer, it's much better to sign the transaction offline and never expose your private key to an online machine. Many people have malware / Clipboard hacks etc... that collect private keys, when you paste it in text ... and if the hacker is fast enough, he or she can exploit that.... but if the private key are encrypted "offline" and then decrypted just before you use it online to import, it will help you to prevent that exploit. You seem to think hacks happen when someone is manually monitoring your computer.

First bits: LbfzJLRt This is easy to find on a blockchain, right? How can still be unresolved after a month and a half now? wget https://gz.blockchair.com/litecoin/addresses/blockchair_litecoin_addresses_latest.tsv.gz -O- | gunzip | grep LbfzJLRt No results. There's only LbfzJoJzMxcFp6CVCMNpW4dkZkAD3hyYqW, but it doesn't match all first bits. Unless the address is empty already, in that case the search is a bit longer.

Is there a way to find out the exact time a transaction was confirmed? Yes, of course. Actually: no! There is no "exact" time in Bitcoin, there's a "block time" and a "received by node time", but those can vary between nodes. Sometimes the previous block has a later time than the current block. Blockchair should show you the confirmation time. This is of course a pretty good estimate most of the time. Can you give me an example? Look up a transaction, check on the left: 3 days ago Sep 22, 2023 6:13 PM UTC

Good quality stainless steel is the best trade off between price and durability. If price is no object, then go for titanium. I didn't know I can just order titanium sheets online ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Do you guys have any idea in regards to copper? See Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers, and CTRL-F "copper". I can imagine it looks quite nice to have 100 dots in copper.

Tor browser always shows that error on talkimg, unfortunately. But if you embed the URL, it works: ![Large image loading...](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F09%2F26%2FPCjo3.jpeg&t=665&c=0fIxvTwF18_12A)

We are happy to announce Lightning support starting today. When I scan the deposit QR code with Phoenix Wallet, it shows: "Invalid data. Please try again. OKE". This wallet works fine with other LN services.

The dude "cannot trust" half the forum. I don't trust 99% of the forum, but it's pointless to share that with everyone.

It's been weeks since I could bump this thread. Fees are the lowest they've been in weeks, and at the moment transactions with less than 8 sat/vbyte are getting confirmed.

Is it only me that find it extremely difficult to find a nice, clean, proper-sized cut piece of metal? You're not alone. It's not something you find at the local Home Depot here. I could order aluminium online, in any size I want, but haven't tried it. Next best would be an old oven plate (impossible to clean) or the side of the washing machine. Both are bad for my marriage ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I want to test this idea, as my secondary backup method for my single sig wallet. Do post the results on recovery when you did it! I have created a custom backup with the washers (I 've seen it a lot in this forum). Looks good, but kind of difficult to read. That just means you have to use a bigger hammer ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

They paid 100 users to use and review their service. Did not a single one of these users continue to use the service afterwards? That's a pretty big red flag. I saw no reason to use this after my review. TL;DR: The privacy policy is a nightmare, the 6 digit PIN security is questionable, the withdrawal fees are very high (50 to 8800 times the on-chain fee), the overall feeling was confusing. The claims (1 million dollar transaction volume on average from each of the 1 million users) unbelievable. Lots of buzz words, but no information on how to recover funds. I don't want social contacts for emergencies. Even normal withdrawals were very complicated, and after testing the whole thing feels custodial. I see no reason why anyone would ever use this: From all the reviews I've done, this one was by far the furthest out of my comfort zone. I had no idea what I was doing when I started. I can only imagine this is worse for Bitcoin newbies.

On my VirtualBox with Ubuntu, the sort behavior is, strangely, the exact opposite; without a flag, it uses 100% RAM, which is not cool either. That is what I read indeed: it's supposed to use all RAM. But I observed the opposite, so it may vary from system to system.
I found this: ‘--parallel=n’
Set the number of sorts run in parallel to n. By default, n is set to the number of available processors, but limited to 8, as there are diminishing performance gains after that. Note also that using n threads increases the memory usage by a factor of log n. I can't find better source, because log 1=0 so it doesn't make sense as a factor. But the increased memory consumption does make sense. I'm not sure how much data this product produces, but for my other projects less RAM means less writing to the (rather slow) HDD, so the total speed may improve by using less threads for sort.

I've already added ninjastic.space and loyce.club to the whitelist. Now the effect may not be immediate and may take a few hours or days. I've waited a few days, but it's still not working. Can you check it? I appreciate your feedback and your testing. I tested it, but miss the option to delete the image.
