I'm trying to remember what they do, are they a payment processing firm?

1% seems both tiny and huge at the same time. I don't think many companies have done similar with gold or something like that recently...

Is smerit source merit or sendable merit in your context?

Is there a current rollover with merits? Once might be helpful or Theymos might increase merits available based on new user sign ups? If we get busier than we currently are he might have some formula to ensure qualifying newbies are still able to get the merits they need - until then the remedy would just be asking Theymos for more source merits if you run out...

That's not the consensus here, biometrics aren't very useful as they can be bypassed (they normally aren't used to directly encrypt data.


You might be better off running electrum personal server on that device and getting another to store your wallet/potentially using the same one and plugging it in when necessary if possible.

Afaik once you put a wallet file into core it'll start to at least rescan your blockchain data which may take some time...

Thinking about it, this is the fault of your goverent...

UK banks offer to exchange anything the central bank will accept and return sterling for (fiat wise -excluding gold and silver as you'd have to go direct to the cb).  Why don't you have something like that there? And if you don't, why don't you get people to petition the government for it (even companies would probably go for that).

A lot of people expect btc to drop now though so there's potential it could just keep climbing. A final puff of steam back to 12k i dont think would be unexpected at this point if we do crash also.

It's possible we drop to 8.8k levels from here but also possible they move from retail that was going into stocks, gets withdrawn in a cradh and people instead move those funds to crypto.

I guess we'll find out once the current symmetric triangle ends, I was considering shorting some of my balance to keep the rest exposed though in case we do some sort of trollish breakout. I see companies like etoro are trying to push gold atm I'm getting a lot of ads for that... Maybe some of those will move to crypto if they're bored of the low volatility.

What are you currently using to trade if the currency doesn't have an international rate, can you still use it?

How much is food for example on average per person per month (or how much is a kilo of sugar, flour, potatoes (or equivelant)... Etc?

What's the priblem with not being able to convert? Does no one sell usd for it?

What exactly are you trying to do? You can import an api to the command line via "import os" in python and then do os.system("your command here")?

Eg

Yeah coinbase and binance are probably good options.



The coinbase link was provided above, binance is here: https://www.binance.com/en/cards/

But on the 2 hour chart, since September 20th, we've mainly followed the same symmetric(ish) triangle pattern?.

Just with a little TA it looks like it'd be normal (ta is only fairly accurate for predicting REPEATING patterns imo). It's a little risky but not unusable on the rest.

We could see a break within the next month - or not - but it COULD go either way. And this could either force it up or down, I don't know why people would want to store cash though...

Looks like a problem on the side of your electrum yes.

Did they send you something to download? Did you see any warning messages to ask you to update your version of electrum (there was a phishing scam a while ago).

You could start by checking your recent downloads in your browser to see if anything looks fishy...

Vanity gen has an online option that allows you to get someone else to generate the key buy adding a certain key onto it and giving them the public part of the key (while you have the private) so all they know is your address and having part of the private key (when the numbers are 128bit-256bit it's more secure than it sounds)...

If you haven't found one, I could make a batch script that produces addresses in bulk and post it publicly on the forum (I've probably done it before but it's a simple 3 minute task)...

If European enforcement takes the leaves out of their own book then them. Having access to ISP information and vpn information in limited amounts is probably fine. Most vpns and they would probably not want to make it look like they've gleamed information that way as cybercriminals and standard privacy libertarians are normally a few steps ahead and can just move/obfuscate their data a different way...

The reduced number of fraudulent activities their claiming to happen on the chain now is definitely a positive sign and shows normal people are actually moving into crypto (rather than individuals using it for the anonymity).

Depends on the country/legal area.

In places like Europe and probably Asia, bitcoin is treated like currency so you can't just not pay tax on what you buy for not using fiat. For countries like America I'm not sure if sales tax can still be added on but I'd imagine it probably would be argued it could still be paid (especially if someone coverts those funds to cash at some point).

You pay transaction fees in btc. Whyd you want taxes on top of that? I'd just love to ltc or eth if that happens...

If you meant ("B") on the last of question 1 then no it wouldn't be possible providing it doesn't come from ("A") and the two aren't linked.

For question 2, no they couldn't work it out that they were linked unless you sent funds between them...

Did you generate them offline or online? And how were they stored? In a passworded file/printed?

These are going to be helpful in determining if it was a malicious binary or if it was potentially an external piece of malware harvesting the information. Also were any generated using a public key additive?

I didn't think giveaways were loferated much, that rule seems more for when things get too out of hand.. Especially if the gambling section it's announced in has the improved bumping system then it's probably no longer a problem.

I think a lot of people will have your problem with kyc and I don't know why coinbase set the bar so low...

In the UK, you can do trades without verifying identity up to £13000 cash in hand and it's perfectly legal, you try to buy $20 in bitcoin online and then you got problems/have to wait for kyc etc...

I think centralised exchanges want you to forget you've left coins there and hope they get to keep it or do some weird fraction reserve stuff.

Dexes store keys to alt wallets as well as regular ones... You could set up notifications to see if there are funds in the balance and send you a reminder about this. The "notifications" big whales get i assume are either someone paid to check it or them just checking it themselves. I think quite a few whales probabky cashed out a million dollars to live off at some point and it's not much of a task to hit refresh on coinbase and binance...

What country are you in? It'll differ greatly depending on that...

Ahhh! In that case I'd also recommend bookmarking the real site and taking your computer offline before putting in any sensitive information anywhere (Cross site scripting and accidental back doors are always a problem even with legit sites).
