I have older eyes and dark screens are terrible for me.

So on the front page which is now dark the donations amounts are next to invisible to me.
That's more of a contrast problem than a dark problem, it's a gray font on a gray background. Your monitor quality can make a large difference too: on my laptop I have to adjust my viewing angle to see it, on my monitor I can read everything.

Thank you for participating LoyceV but Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club is not a signature campaign
I checked, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere in this topic. This post is the first time the word "signature" is added.

Quote
And I dont think we can openly confirm how much they pay to each participant.
It's (more or less) public data.

Quote
One more thing, Foxpup is not campaign manager  Grin
Says who? Cheesy



For the record: I'm totally fine with not qualifying, that's up to you. But I honestly thought I found a "loophole" that nobody had mentioned yet, and as far as I could see, it fitted all requirements (at the moment I posted it).

It sounded promising, until I checked their website:

I just can't take them serious this way.

Oh my world! Did you just add the question mark or I missed that .... Oh I guess I was wrong then!?!
The question mark has been there for a long time.

You account is just a day old and it seems like you know more about the merit system than those that have spent more than a month here in the forum.
It feels like someone who's only interested in the tabloid-gossip part of Bitcointalk, instead of the Bitcoin part.
This, for instance, is really weird:
activities worthy of emulation
And there it is:

1. Foxpup
2. Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club, $∞, 0.015BTC max, 0 max (I had to be a creative, because the campaign firmly stands against all these PAID2POST campaigns)
3. Foxpup, icopress, Carollzinha
4. No

What's the verdict on this one?
Bitcointalk is a well-known forum in the crypto industry where being a reputable member is like a dream for many. There are some security measures that can be taken to protect your bitcoin talk account from being stolen or hacked. A user can add secret questions, and stake their BTC address in the forum to protect their account. Despite this sometimes accounts got hacked and are taken by hackers.
It's partially incorrect and sounds very much like chat AI spam/plagiarism.

Factoids need to be removed
Someone donated Bitcoins for having it there for eternity. By now, those classics are part of Bitcointalk history.

All Donators and Staff had one factoid right, though I never used it.
I didn't know Staff get one too.

Quote
Since there are no ads anymore, we keep seeing the same factoids. A larger pool could be interesting.
Agreed! So add your own Smiley

I will think about self-hosting them, if I dont come up with another idea how to share onion links that are easy to remember as text or something like that (QR code images could only work for phones).
If anyone have more ideas I am willing to listen.
Who is this for? Yourself, or other people? If I use Tor, I wouldn't rely on a third party but just bookmark the link. Anything that makes Onion links easy to remember introduces an attack vector. It's not supposed to be remembered.

It should be replaced: "To help retrieve your password, enter a Bitcoin address here that you'll use to sign a message.".

You could have at least write that post without any typos/mistakes so people can take your add seriously since you said that you are "expert in English typing".
At least he's honest about what "quality" to expect.
3212  Economy / Reputation / Re: Another unfair trust/feedback from user Timelord2067 on: August 10, 2023, 01:27:13 PM
It's been months since this user hasn't given up and continues his defamatory campaign against me.
He's far from DT because of his bad judgement. There's really nothing else to do. Everyone's free to leave correct or incorrect feedback, it's up to the community how to value it.

ban evasion - no outstanding loans
What's the obsession with other people's loans? And why do you keep dragging me in? Welcome to my notification ignore list. I have nothing to do with bans or loans. Leave me out of your drama.

As far as you all know, I would not have these files if I just bought a normal corrupted one date wallet file
So you bought a scam-wallet with additional files. You're wasting everyone's time.

@LoyceV he said that he didn't buy the wallet
That's such a weird and oddly specific thing to say for a Newbie with a problem Roll Eyes
3214  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [Linux Electrum] Why is "blockchain_headers" larger than it's Size on Disk? on: August 10, 2023, 08:30:25 AM
The major answer to this is when there is automatic or inbuilt compression gotten from one’s operating system
Nope.

Quote
or again if the file in question is a sparse file
That's a Microsoft link, but you may be on to something: "sparse files" exist on ETX4 too. It looks like that's what Electrum is doing, there must be a lot of empty space in the file. That brings the next question: why not just delete the empty space?
3215  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [Linux Electrum] Why is "blockchain_headers" larger than it's Size on Disk? on: August 10, 2023, 08:05:06 AM
Probably Compressed in some way?
Nope, my file system doesn't support compression.
3216  Other / Meta / Re: Is Short Onion URL link possible and how? on: August 10, 2023, 07:55:33 AM
I didn't expect Tinyurl to actually support onion links. Not bad!

Quote
you'd be sending users to clearnet to get the DNS resolution and the redirect.
So you'd need a separate, decentralized "lookup system" for .onion links. I can imagine this would be something that can be done with a blockchain: all users download all blocks, and once a short name is in there, it can no longer be changed. Then "duckduckgo.onion" would expand to it's full URL, but only if they're the first to claim it.
3217  Bitcoin / Electrum / [Linux Electrum] Why is "blockchain_headers" larger than it's Size on Disk? on: August 10, 2023, 07:46:20 AM
See this image:
Image loading...
Electrum's file blockchain_headers is larger than the disk space it occupies (on a Linux system).
How can this be? Normally, files take slightly more space on disk (because of the disk block size), not less.
3218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: REWARD 1 BTC! Electrum wallet help me! on: August 10, 2023, 07:31:03 AM
I have blockchain_headers files with a size of 46 kilobytes
Are you sure you don't mean megabytes?

I tried restoring via private keys, but generally gives out other addresses with a balance of 0
Where did you get those private keys?

Quote
I tried to restore using a seed phrase but gives me wallets without a balance and with old ones transactions, that is, the balance is 0
Are those transactions coming from the addresses you thought had funds? If so, your wallet if empty. If not, you have the wrong seed phrase or you may have to "Extend this seed with custom words" to get to your other wallet.



It helps if you write a clear overview. It's hard to read if you throw everything in one very long sentence.

Those won't work for our case, there is a huge difference between sound dampening and soundproofing, what we need is the latter, sound dampening is important for recording studios and all, but they are poor in soundproofing because acoustic panels have very low-density/mass and thus they won't help much with soundproofing.
In that case: I guess an underground man cave isn't an option?

Quote
could you explain this further? how would noise escape up and not to the sides?
It's the same principle they use then building sound barriers (between roads and houses).
