I don't know what happens if we feed the AI with LoyceV post, but I guess the AI could imitate his writing style, language nuances, lateral humor etc.
Oh no! We don't need more LoyceV words cloning and multiplication, but he is probably going to be first to notice someone is using his words and style of writting.
Combining post from more good members would probably get better results, but I will say again that any account will be busted when someone ask him a question and start real conversation with him.
btw anyone remembers what happened with famous LoyceValenzuela account?  Cheesy

3162  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what changes were made to the Bitcoin since disappearance of Satoshi? on: December 03, 2022, 09:29:28 PM
I know that Bitcoin is changing... and the recent release of Bitcoin Core is 24. However, since I lack knowledge on coding I am curious what major changes were made to the Bitcoin. Is the block structure is the same? What about consensus protocol? I appreciate if someone could explain those changes in plain English with examples.
Core principles and Bitcoin base protocol didn't change, but there was a lot of bug fixes and small improvements since early Satoshi days.
We now have different address types starting with 1, 3, bc1 and recently Taproot protocol was implemented, there is much more wallet clients now.
There was several attempts to make bigger hard forks but this only resulted with forked shitcoins with much smaller prices and irrelevant trading volume and transactions.
There is no easy way to explain this in a simple way if you don't understand coding, but you can study history of Bitcoin and check out code changes for yourself.
You can always check change log from Bitcoin Core to see most important changes:

We need everyone to report this site to Google so that it will be taken down
I don't know why scammers are starting to target this website, and this is not the first time because recently someone posted another similar link in forum with .ch domain name.
This is no guarantee that google will take down any website even if lot of people report it, but why stop with IanColeman fake website when we can also report fake ChipMixer website with xyz domain.
Ultimate solution would be for google to stop accepting money from scammers for advertisement, but they surely won't do that   Tongue

Nažalost, mislim da je puno takvih ljudi, možda neće svi pasti na crypto scam, ali sigurno padaju na tv propagandne i ostale scamove.
A to za shitcoin ''hakere'', to su po meni sve insider jobs, tako im je najlakše uraditi exit scam i okriviti nekog nepoznatog tipa na internetu.

3165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to send BTC to BInance from cold storage on: December 02, 2022, 09:12:13 PM
If i create a paper wallet , i got a public key and private key. so From using  public key we can send BTC from binance. whenever i need to send BTC to binance from  paper wallet , How can i do?
With paper wallets you usually have only one receiving public address, just copy that and paste it in Binance exchange, but remember to choose Bitcoin mainnet, not their fake tokens on altcoins chain.
I don't understand why you would use paper wallet for withdrawing from centralized exchnage, unless you plan to hold this for long time, but keep in mind that this coins will be connected with your identity (Binance=kyc) if you don't mix them.
3166  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Keystone....Well I didn't want to post it but here it is. on: December 02, 2022, 09:02:36 PM
I reached out to BitcoinLixin here and twitter over a week ago. He has not been active on here for a while but is on twitter.
FYI I think that you can reach him much faster on Keystone discord or telegram channel.
Someone else is probably handling their twitter channel, but he has his own accounts for contacts.

The device SEEMS secure, but if you can't be sure it's the device that is supposed to be in the box what's the point.
You still need to verify on website to confirm your device is genuine, and I agree they should improve packaging, but don't expect to get better security with better package, or with void stickers.
I know you can't open Trezor wallet without destroying packaging, but scammers can easily clone this...especially in China Wink
3167  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Smartino - Android Bitcoin Core Full Node on: December 02, 2022, 08:51:21 PM
It looks a bit like a phone booth, but it's a full node made with what I had at home: an old android smartphone and an old 3.5'' hdd
This is very interesting to see, it could be even better than using Rpi if everything works ok, and it is certainly better than to throw away your android phone in garbage.
I guess phone needs to be connected to power all the time, but I am wondering how is it handling hard drive space, can you also use 1TB micro SD card or faster SSD drive?
It's nice to see code released on github, but you should add license information if it's open source.

Also, what FatManTerra fails to understand is that people do not need to click the donate button. From his thread:
Did anyone check his twitter posts, other than his ChipMixer speculation theory?
He joined Twitter in May 2022, he has a lot of followers and he is exposing how crypto scams work, but how can you do that while investing in shit like Terrra.
In his own words, he invested heavily in the Terra ecosystem and lost 30% to 40% of his life savings in Terra collapse  Cheesy
Now this guy is trying to educate us about ChipMixer, and he probably never used it in his life to see how it works.

The fact that AI-generated content is so difficult to detect suggests that progress in this field has been extremely rapid. It is remarkable how quickly advances are being made in this space.
I don't think it's do difficult to detect posts like this, especially if they are repeating the same style.
With few simple questions asked in topic or sent in PM I could quickly determine if I am talking with real member or not.

For sure this can happen.
And, as far as I can see from the various example I see around, ti might well already be the case.
If you search for that, you'll see dozen of AI- based services selling AI generated blog posts, Longform, twitter thread and so on.
If this is really the case than we should start reporting posts like that, suspected to be AI generated, in same way we report low quality spam posts.
I would even go as far to temp-ban members who are doing this repeatedly, and  full ban can be applied for extreme cases.
3170  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Generated wallet on a computer that I need to return. on: December 02, 2022, 07:22:25 PM
I know how to erase the computer to factory settings. My concern is that someone would be able to use it to generate the same seed that I created. Is that possible? I'm probably overthinking things, but just want to be sure that the seed I generated on Electrum won't be generated by the next owner of the computer.
There is nothing easier than to generate new seed words (in other device or offline) and transfer your coins to freshly generated addresses that only you can control.
However, I would still uninstall Electrum, erase folder and format hard drive, just in case something unexpected happens.
If you do all I said there is almost zero chances someone else will have your coins.
3171  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Grijači koji rudare bitcoine on: December 02, 2022, 07:02:06 PM
Našao sam malo više informacija za ove uređaje i mogu reći da se nikako ne isplate.
Ovaj miner trenutno generira oko 80 centi dnevno, i uz korištenje 24 sata dnevno, svaki dan, bez plaćanja poreza ili naknada za rudarenje, trebat će gotovo 4 godine da se isplati, ako se ikad i isplati kako skaču računi za struju Smiley
To je izuzetno niska isplata i nema decentraliziranog rudarenje budući da se rudari na centralizirani Nicehash račun.
Mislim da je ovo kao Cloud mining 2.0 ili još gore, a pazi ovo ima samo 6 months warranty...

Thanks for the suggestion. Yeah, posting to the bitcoin reddit wasn't the best idea  Cry. I will definitely get around to posting to r/PrivacyGuides, and I already posted to  r/CryptoCurrency.
Don't give up so easily and don't get discouraged Wink
I think you received much better constructive replies from Monero community, and r/CryptoCurrency are known for deleting posts if you don't have enough of their ''karma'' or whatever is called.
r/Bitcoin can be pretty strict and focused only on Bitcoin and development around it, mining, and maybe with few added news but that's about it.

Građani oprez - ulaganjem preko prevarantskih stranica za ulaganje u kriptovalute ove godine 13 Dubrovčana ostalo je bez 3,5 milijuna kuna ušteđevine !
Žrtve najčešće kontaktiraju telefonski s pozivnih brojeva +44 iz Velike Britanije, a zatim ih upute na lažne internet stranice za ulaganje, ili im traže instaliranje neke scam aplikacije.
Nije da bitcointalk forum ne postoji i da mi stalno ne govorimo o ovakvim scamovima i kako se zaštiti, ali prvo što trebaju učiniti je uključiti mozak, ako ga imaju.  Roll Eyes

Noted. Will update this on website.
@Nmnsth can you confirm this information I found on internet, that you raised $1 million in your campaign and can you tell us why you did this?
Is this old news or you working on some new model of hardware wallet, more functionality for current model or money will be invested in marketing and spreading word about Cypherock?
Creating some campaign for reviewing your device, and being more active in Bitcointalk forum could be a good thing.

3175  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [LIST] Open Source Hardware Wallets on: December 01, 2022, 10:04:42 PM
Very weird hardware wallet if you ask me, since it depends on a splitted seed that is only stored at four cards. If you need to set up a new hardware wallet you can not put on the seed in just any device but you have to hope that they are still on the market in that moment. Also you are lost if the card is not readable anymore in maybe 20+ years.
I think this approach is much safer than what most other hardware wallets are using today, especially if they are closed source black boxes.
Some DIY signing devices are also using this approach of not storing keys and secrets on device, but you import them quickly with QR codes, or slower manually.
I am not supporting or defending Cypherock, but they are doing something in a differently and I applaud  for that.

By the way, thank you for this very helpful thread.
This information should still be verified, don't trust me aka some random geek on internet that could be wrong Smiley
I just wanted to know this information myself and I couldn't find it anywhere, so I decided to collect everything in one topic.

As a matter of fact, Chinese local board used to be among the most active ones and then in the mid 2018 their numbers fell down drastically. Japanese used to be active as well, but around the same time their numbers went down as well.
I didn't know that, but I usually didn't check activity in other local boards, until you started posting your regular monthly reports.
Do you have some stats about that, or could you maybe create special end of the yearly report for all local boards from the time of their creation?
For example you can show what local board was most active in 2014, 2015, 2016 ... right up until 2022.

Interesting topic about history of local boards in forum, first one created in 2010 was Russian, Spanish and German:

3177  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bestchange keeps scammer exchangers and probably collaborates with them on: December 01, 2022, 09:18:58 PM
I wouldn't blame everything on BestChange, but I wrote about their terrible review system multiple times and I demanded improvement and update.
It's interesting that not long ago before you created this topic I asked BestChange about this KYC icons and if they can guarantee that exchange won't ask for verification, they replied NO, they can't guarantee that information is correct.
If exchange is using third party exchange they need to publicly show this and say they can freeze your coins at any time, otherwise I wouldn't use this exchange at all.

What's not okay, is anonymous exchanges that ask for personal documents. They can easily use it for identity theft, and you have no idea who they are.
I totally agree with you, and I would rather use exchanges from list provided by kycnot.me website.
I heard nice things about eXch (they don't use any third party, and they claim to have their own reserves of coins and can prove that), but I never used it so I can't claim how good or bad it is.
3178  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: FixedFloat — fully automatic cryptocurrency exchange with Lightning Network⚡️ on: December 01, 2022, 09:08:02 PM
No it doesn't mean they can. I mean it doesn't mean they can put terms like this in ToS. It's illegal. But of course they will block your funds because they'll do anything they want. And as for Bestchange's admin, I already talked with him by email. I wrote about it in my new topic here.
It's not really illegal, they can have their own terms and change them at any time, and I am not defending anyone here, just stating the fact.
If you examine what was happening with  centralized exchanges, lending platforms and some gambling website, they did hold ands seized coins of their customers many times.
In case you used russian version and there was no ToS rules, maybe you have some chance to get your coins back, that is if you can prove this somehow.

I personally found it especially suspicious that the 'last changed' date of their TOU was not updated; therefore leaving users in the belief that nothing changed since 2020. This may even be used in court to argue that any changes to the document since 2020 are not enforceable.
That is really problematic, but I would like to hear someone official from FixedFloat talking more about this issue.
Have they ever registered and wrote something in Bitcointalk forum?

Looks a more than decent answers to me.
Do you think anyone can use this G-OpenAI platform to write posts in bitcointalk forum, and is there a way to detect this?
Maybe we need to have some kind of detector for text written by bots, but I often think that some people are worst than AI after I read their posts  Tongue
3180  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The kind of hard disk to keep your bitcoin blockchain data on Laptop on: December 01, 2022, 08:38:51 PM
HDD isn't that bad, i still use a HDD to run few full node software. Besides, 1TB SSD could be relative expensive on country with high import duty tax or low minimum monthly wage.
Around 70 to 80 euros for good 1TB SSD drives is really not a lot of money for most countries, you could even find very good deals and discount around Black Friday.
Sure, HDD drives are cheaper and you can use both of them, I prefer using HDD for storing big files that don't move, and for everything else SSD is much better.
If you have enough money to own computer and run Bitcoin node, than for sure you have money to buy one SSD drive that will last for years.
There is nothing wrong in using big HDD and old laptop for Bitcoin, just accept the fact everything will be much slower.
