Well, it looks like OP was right.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has resigned.

He will keep the seat though until somebody else will be elected.
It was quite expected development, although I thought it will take a bit longer Cheesy

yes i understand. inputs become outputs then it became another input ( utxo) in another wallet. am i correct??

Indeed, a normal transaction's inputs are other transaction's (unspent) outputs.
If the input is not of the size needed for the output (plus tx fee), the difference (the change) returns to your wallet (usually to a different address) as a new, smaller input.
3223  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what is transfered as bitcoin on the blockchain?? on: July 07, 2022, 10:15:24 AM
so you mean all the inputs are equel to 21 million??

The sum of all unspent outputs (UTXO) will be nearly 21M around year 2140. It cannot be the sum of all the inputs, since a lot of inputs are spent every minute.
That is if the miners don't start refusing the block rewards (some block rewards were lost like that in the past).
3224  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Tip] Live Linux, Live Windows on: July 07, 2022, 09:51:08 AM
I've used Ventoy (https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy) in the past, looks like they do similar things.

Interesting! I've never heard of it until now and they're indeed pretty much similar. It's another good tip!

Although, I've since moved on to using Qubes OS as my main operating system, and just using different "Qubes" as a way of isolation, and therefore live boots have limited uses for me now. Not perfect, but live booting is only as good as the medium, and software you're using to do that i.e Easy2Boot, and Ventoy.

Seems Easy2Boot does have some additional features that might be useful though. For example, the transport partition. Sounds like you might be able to put Dban on that, and nuked some computers whenever you need to do so, which I usually do when looking to offload old hardware that hasn't had too much sensitive data.

I see you come from Linux direction Smiley
I've never used Dban, but I've used on Windows some others (including Eraser or SDelete). I've not used Qubes OS (I don't do much Linux), but I've used Virtual Box for isolation now and then.


I've needed to boot from some Antivirus rescue systems, I've needed to boot from systems that allow me backup system HDD... then evolved to Linuxes and whatever tools I've found (including Windows PE). And at some point I've stumbled over E2B that allowed me to keep all those tidily on one USB stick. Using those Windows with IanColeman was a much later idea.

You can easily install a VirtualBox, install your favorite OS on it and have a virtual computer for fishy stuff with almost no risk to the actual computer.
That's true. However, depending on the complexity of the malware, there have been cases of malware escaping the virtual environments and infecting the host computers due to some vulnerabilities in the software. Some malware can also detect if they are being run in a virtual box environment. So when you test it, it won't act maliciously to raise any suspicion. You might think it's clean, so you let it out yourself.     

I'd guess that such "escapes" have happened simply because the network was not isolated correctly and they started attacking whatever they found in the local network, i.e. the host computer.
However, nothing is perfect, clearly different computer is safer. However, using Virtual Box would probably make us avoid 99%+ of the cases.

Plus: I've never said to run the software again on main computer, no. Unsafe software can stay on the virtual environment only. You don't know what can cause the program "call home" and download the actual package, you don't know when that will be. Such tests are to be done by professionals.

there is nothing called bitcoin and botcoin is just a protocol made by peoples psycology

This is your conclusion. And by the same logic you can say also that there's no interent, just some protocols, and no money, just some printed paper and plastic cards (and some protocols).

all of above means there is nothing called bitcoin and botcoin is just a protocol made by peoples psycology and every thing based on utxo and txo ??

Since you already know about utxo, this start to mean that you may be just a troll's new account.
However, I will give you a nice answer too: Bitcoin is as real as Windows, and Linux, and the internet and the money in your bank account. Whatever you choose to call it, however your psychology allows those be seen as real, it's entirely up to you.
3227  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Read]: YTStealer Malware on: July 07, 2022, 09:02:51 AM
If you have the luxury of using multiple computers or laptops, use only one of your devices for things like gaming, torrenting, experimental/pirated software, pornography, etc. These activities should not take place on the same computers you use for work and your financials. In case you get infected with any type of malware, your work stuff, your crypto, and everything else related to your personal information and safety shouldn't be obtainable from that device.   

You don't even need the luxury of having two computers. You can easily install a VirtualBox, install your favorite OS on it and have a virtual computer for fishy stuff with almost no risk to the actual computer.
Of course, make sure you don't run cracks and keygens on your main computer because then you deserve your fate.
3228  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what is transfered as bitcoin on the blockchain?? on: July 07, 2022, 08:54:45 AM
then what are the 21 million exist ??

That is something calculated in a smart way in Bitcoin's code, in the part that tells how much block reward can a miner claim.
The calculation started with 50 BTC/mined block and that value is halving every ~4 years for many years to come, making the sum of all bitcoins possible to be mined nearly 21M.

And before you ask "what will happen afterwards?", I'll tell that even afterwards the miners will still get the transaction fees.
3229  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: MBTC in Electrum Wallet on: July 07, 2022, 08:31:04 AM
I have about 2.990mbtc in Electrum Wallet and I need money to buy something but I don't know how to transfer and also I am the only person using BTC in my village so the thing is disturbing me very badly. I don't know what to do again. Even the vendors around the city area as I made some contacts don't Know mbtc.

mBTC is a subunit of BTC. If it disturbs you, you can change from using it.
Indeed, Electrum uses mBTC by default, but you can go to:
Tools->Preferences and in the "General" tab select as Base Unit BTC instead of mBTC.

And also I am not really familiar with or fluently uses Electrum Wallet. But that is not the real issue, the main issue here is how I can transfer the money to another Wallet of any kind without any issue.

If you want to ace Electrum, you can do it easily and for free: start Electrum on testnet (a test network with worthless bitcoins), make a wallet there, get money from testnet faucets and transfer between your addresses/wallets, test whatever you're unsure about, then return to main bitcoin network and your main wallet.

BTCmay anyone explain me what is transferd as bitcoin,  on the blockchain. thank you

On the blockchain nothing is transferred. The blockchain doesn't do transfers. The blockchain is a ledger, it records transfers.
So if your actual question is: "what we can find on blockchain?" the answer is "records of transfers".

Transfers are made from "the system" to the miners, transfers containing the block reward and the miner fees.
Transfers are made from addresses to addresses.

If an address has transfers towards it (inputs) that it didn't transfer away (didn't spend), their values, added up, makes the coins that address contains.

if you want private help pm or reply me.

I will not say OP should avoid this kind of offers, but I will say to be extremely cautious, since in most cases this kind of offers can easily lead to stolen data and stolen money.
Especially newbie accounts have nothing to lose (reputation doesn't matter for them).

@BatuhanZ, why don't you try to help him publicly if your intentions are good?

3233  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / [Tip] Live Linux, Live Windows on: July 07, 2022, 06:29:53 AM
I've been using this for years, but more for convenience, not necessarily for security. However, I think that it's also great for security/live systems easy to fire up. If it's not secure enough, please let comment/let me know.

I'm talking about Easy2Boot (E2B). This is a software that can turn easily an USB stick into a bootable "swiss knife".
One downloads it, runs it to set up the USB stick, then the show begins: certain folders from the newly set up USB stick can be filled with ISO images. For the lazy ones like me the \_ISO\MAINMENU\ can have them all.

I have now such a stick, I have on it Tails OS ISO, Linux (Mint), various antivirus systems, but also windows system like GandalfsWindows10PE.iso (or, better, here; if you need help, ask). A lot of iso and information is there in https://easy2boot.xyz/tested-payloads/
Just keep in mind that after adding the ISO files you should run (as admin) the USB's MAKE_THIS_DRIVE_CONTIGUOUS.cmd
Some of the payloads can be used with persistence too, but I've never done that.

The stick has also a small "transport" partition where I put IanColeman's, or Eraser portable (to fully removed files) and other such tools.
And obviously I boot from the stick without internet. E2B will show a menu asking which ISO to boot from.


I hope that this will help anybody, especially those afraid of Linux or who prefer to use their favorite tools under Windows in an environment they can keep safe and contained.
3234  Economy / Economics / Re: Zimbabwe resorts to gold coins as local currency tumbles on: July 07, 2022, 06:12:51 AM
So what they are trying to do here is get some more funding for their gold reserves that are getting turned into coins, it's basically selling gold at an extra price and not trying to revive the gold standard or anything else.

Coins will be more like collectibles with their own serial number, you'll have to go though KYC and good luck actually trying to use it as something in the real economy

I've had the feeling that this is the case. It would have been very odd to use it in the actual economy.
Thank you for properly looking it up!

It isn’t  a proper holiday if you don’t forget everything during the holiday, and if you don’t spend at least one month remembering everything you learnt during the previous year!

Yeah. My kids just got a TV ban for today because they didn't solve (yesterday) a 30 minute (tops) math paper I've printed for them. Something easy to ensure they don't forget absolutely everything. Exactly because 4 weeks have already passed. Exactly because they probably won't touch math for another 3 weeks at least (then they have to start the proper homework).

Thanks Cheesy You know that means the kids don't have school for 6 weeks, right? Cheesy Happy holiday to you too Smiley

If that's indeed correct, count yourself lucky. Here the summer vacation lasts 12-13 weeks. Mine are in vacation for 4 weeks already.
3237  Local / Română (Romanian) / Re: De ce oamenii ar trebui să utilizeze adrese SegWit on: July 07, 2022, 05:01:28 AM
Most likely, I'll separate the native SegWit part in to 2 parts: native SegWit v0 (called bech32) and native SegWit v1 (called bech32m)

It looks good to me, it looks like you're on the right track.
The letter after bc1 is basically the version (transformed/converted I don't know how). So q is for v0, p is for v1 and I wouldn't be surprised if more versions will emerge.

i open trezor in electrum  like this :
Create a new wallet
Select Standard wallet
select  hardware device
Choose derivation path m/44'/0'/0' .

What happens if you choose derivation paths like m/44'/528'/0' or m/44'/0'/528' ? I think that the funds from customer 528 should be there.

Avem un concurs nou!

Na ca pe asta il ratasem. Multumesc!

Am scapat, in sfarsit! Acum e si casa luna  Roll Eyes Finalul renovarii nu inseamna scaparea de orice stress. Dupa aia intervine si curatenia, facuta de mai multe ori, pana ce, in sfarsit, nu se mai depune praf din acela albicios peste tot... Ei bine, am scapat si de partea asta, acum pot lucra si eu linistit la birou, fara a ma mai ineca cu praf...

Super, chiar ma bucur pentru tine!

Mai am insa nitel de tras, pana imi vine si mobila noua. O sa dau comanda saptamana aceasta si, sper eu, sa fie gata in doua saptamani. Cel putin asa s-a laudat nenea cu care am vorbit... Momentan mi-am pus mobila veche la loc, insa mai am ceva-ceva pana va fi totul pus la punct.

Asta deja nu mai e asa problema, mai ales ca ai pus mobila veche momentan.

Ca idee, recomand nervi de otel tuturor celor care vor sa demareze un astfel de proiect. Si, financiar vorbind, sa-si ia o marja de minim 30% in plus fata de orice cost estimat initial. E jale cu preturile... cresc de la o zi la alta. Ca idee, cand am luat primele materiale, o bucata de plinta pentru gresie, la Dedeman, costa 8 lei si un pic. Peste o luna m-am dus iar sa mai cumpar o plinta (o plinta de gresie fiind o bucata de ~40cm lungime, facuta tot din gresie). Era peste 9 lei. In sfarsit, saptamana trecuta am trecut iar pe la Dedeman, si aceeasi bucata de plinta era peste 10 lei (10.5 parca). Deci, in decurs de 2 luni, i-a crescut pretul cu ~25%. La fel si cu toate celelalte materiale...

Nimic neasteptat. Tocmai am aflat ca mi s-a scumpit (si) concediul la care facusem early booking. Sa mai adaug ceva?
