Why can't I upload pictures to this forum?
This forum doesn't have that option so instead you have to upload your images to one of the image hosting platforms such as https://imgur.com/ and then post the Share link here.
3282  Economy / Economics / Re: Nations should impose special taxes on oil firms: UN Secretary General on: November 15, 2022, 06:00:09 AM
1. The UN has completely discredited itself as an international organization.
I'm glad to see others are catching on to this fact. Although it was clear from the day it was created back in 1945. Did you know that we were literary the first country to file the first complaint to UN? It was about the Allies after WWII and it was completely useless Smiley

Unfortunately, the UN is a highly corrupt structure. I used to treat her somehow, if not positively, then neutrally. Probably because it did not concern me much, and they took some actions. But this year, the UN, as an international instrument of law and legitimacy, has shown itself not only as impotent, but moreover, how cowardly I am and an inferior organization. This applies not only to the UN, but also to some other international organizations, such as the Red Cross.

BUT ! It seems that with one hand they feed and try to play along, and the other is really afraid. There is an assumption that after a "convincing conversation" with the representatives of the United States and Britain, the UN decided that it was necessary to behave, if not "better", then more or less correctly. Today's vote on reparations to Ukraine from the Russian Federation showed some change in the behavior of the organization itself. The fear of survival won over the craving for corruption Smiley
Nothing has changed bro. UN is as it has always been an American organization, it is literary in their law. Obama not only made this public but also ensured it to be unchangeable. The law dictates that UN is obligated to fulfill United States' interests at all times in all their actions and decisions!
So if you see they behave in a certain way, it is because US has ordered them to. And if that behavior changes, it is just the new orders, nothing more...

What Russia did in Ukraine - USA did the same in Afghanistan and PAkistan
Israel did the same in Palestine but no one ever spoke about it - I don't find any forum here talking about USA and Israel blood shed in muslim countries
What did you expect from a dictatorship that heavily censors anybody who talks about such matters! A couple of days ago Bolton was spewing some bullshit in a conference where someone in the audience stands up and simply asks him "how are we going to trust you when you lied about Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.". He was immediately attacked by armed police forces and dragged out of there in handcuffs!!!

I don't really blame @DrBeer for not knowing these things since he's grown up in this system where they brainwashed him into thinking his country (Ukraine) sending one of the largest number of troops to rape and murder women and children in Iraq was all a "peacekeeping mission".

Let's do it - bring evidence, facts. Namely:
I'm assuming you still have access to the internet and Wikipedia right? Or did the regime censor that too?
Here is from a quick google search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings
And that's just one big case they couldn't cover up successfully out of millions of cases of war crimes US coalition (that includes Ukraine) committed abroad. You can even see more cases in the "See Also" section of the Wikipedia page!

Obviously there are a lot more sources that have more details and are more reliable. You can find them if you ever bothered to do some research!
3284  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Root of bitcoin, 14 facts of bitcoin White Paper on: November 15, 2022, 05:21:18 AM
6.  The paper doesn’t include the word "blockchain"
It is actually using the shorthand version "chain" instead of "blockchain".

Quote
10.  The white paper says that "CPU power" is used to generate Bitcoin blocks. Today, that wouldn’t be correct to say (but it's not wrong).
Most generation is performed by specialized computers called ASICs. Both provide the "computational power" the network needs for operation
ASIC is not a computer, it is a "chip", just like a CPU it is designed to perform "computation".

Quote
11. Parts of the Bitcoin white paper are no longer being worked on by developers
In the paper, Satoshi makes the first “scaling proposal” for Bitcoin. Called Simple Payment Verification, it has since been abandoned as a viable solution.
Wrong.
SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) clients are one of the most popular clients today and dozens of developers are working on them. The biggest example is Electrum.

SPV is also not a "scaling proposal". It is a method to allow users to connect to the bitcoin network and use it on their own without needing a centralized party and without running a full node.

Can you accept the fact that you may need to wait for a year or two to see profit?

Also you should educate yourself about storing bitcoins correctly in a cold storage so that you don't just lose all that money to a hack or malware or something like that!
Yes, I have be patient to get profit, I don't care how long it takes, 5 or more than 15 years I will accept it. I just looking how to keep it on between years, I already bought Corazon Stealth Titanium wallet and already prepare to sell my secondary house (abandoned house), but I still not sure my wallet is safe to keep my long investment.
I don't know this wallet, it seems to a hardware wallet that is manufactured with the help of another hardware wallet company called Trezor but is not entirely their product. You can ask others in the Hardware wallets board to get better feedback on it.

As for usage and security, you should first try things out using a small amount. For example send $10 worth of bitcoin to your wallet, then try spending that amount to learn how things work. Also create a backup (assuming it gives you a seed phrase) and maybe try recovering it on an airgap system to be safe. Then you can go big.
3286  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Trojan virus found on my new download Electrum wallet on: November 15, 2022, 04:44:00 AM
I have seen such warnings too using my Eset Internet Security. It is just the firewall preventing connection to some of the Electrum nodes that your client tries to connect to and sync. Possibly because those IP addresses are flagged.
Considering that the communication between your client and these servers can not be exploited since the messages and the whole protocol is kept simple, there should not be any risks here.
3287  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: What do you think about trust wallet? on: November 15, 2022, 04:35:35 AM
I do find it weird they would lie about being open source.
That's a marketing technique. They do have a github account and there are some unrelated code there and a regular user is not capable of figure out that it is actually closed source so they "trust" the wallet easier. If anyone complains they just give them some nonsense reply about how it is open source (a lie) and how the parts that aren't are because they try to prevent hacking (another lie).
3288  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S. watches nervously as Europe turns to South Korea for weapons on: November 14, 2022, 08:52:19 AM
Although the world has been losing faith in US arms ever since they saw how useless they are but I'm still skeptical about this news mainly because South Korea is not an independent country to begin with. It is basically a US colony specially when it comes to military and global presence.

With some small and quick search their military industry doesn't seem independent either. For example the K2 Black Panther tanks that were mentioned in the article is manufactured by Hyundai Rotem which is basically owned by Morgan Stanley which is an American investment company!
Or the FA-50 fighter planes is manufactured by Korea Aerospace Industries with Lockheed Martin (another American "arms dealer")!

I may be wrong but this looks more like an off-shore US military industry selling weapons through a proxy. Smiley

I don't know the story here but I wouldn't even begin to consider CZ a "hero" since he is the same person who was offering payment to bitcoin mining pools in order to perform a 51% attack on bitcoin blockchain. All because his shitty platform was hacked and he wanted the money back.
3290  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Decentralized System: The way forward on: November 14, 2022, 05:48:43 AM
I never understood this whole "decentralization in medicine". First off, why only in medicine? What's wrong with the rest sciences?
Yeah, I don't get it either. But they entered a lot of other fields too, basically anything they thought was a "hot topic" they created a token for. I saw a bunch in energy field, one was even claiming to "ease" selling oil internationally lol.

Quote
Second, why should scientific work or public info regarding medicine be accessible in such inefficient manner? What's wrong with current technology?
Exactly. When we want to introduce an alternative, that should be a better one and have some advantages over the existing system. For example in bitcoin whitepaper these advantages are explained in the first page.
The funny thing is, blockchain is the least efficient form of database so the advantages have to be big enough to justify using it but they don't even exist when they mix it in fields like medicine!

Quote
The description of this paper, for example, smells fishy, doesn't it? (Haven't read it though, nor am I related to medicine)
Haha. That's just academia. The students saw a hot topic and thought about taking advantage to start a project, possibly a dissertation and eventually write an article to have that in their résumé. I know because we used to do the same thing although in our field you have to do solid work not some theoretical nonsense without actual work.
For example I spent months working on samples in the lab before I wrote my article on three-dimensional metallography, which was a hot topic those days.
3291  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: WBTC vs BTC on: November 14, 2022, 05:10:01 AM
This is one of those "i told you so" moments since we've all been warning about it for years.

The problem is that people can't see the difference between a fake promise and actual peg. What all these tokens do is that they give a fake promise to convert your useless token to bitcoin at a promised rate (eg. 1:1) but they can always break that promise and change the rate to something like 1000:1 if they wanted to and there is nothing the user can do about it!

We have the same problem with stablecoins too since these days many newbies are converting their coins to them. There is no guarantee that  said coins keep their exchange rate. For example 1 USDT could easily be traded for 0.1 USD instead.
3292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Indian authority freezes a whole lot of bitcoin in respect of defrauding on: November 14, 2022, 05:00:24 AM
Now the Indian government has freezed a whole lot of bitcoin
This part and your title are wrong/misleading since nobody can "freeze bitcoin" because it is decentralized and transactions don't ask permission from an authority to be included in a block or transferred from one address to another.
The only thing authorities can "freeze" is the centralized accounts that hold IOUs not bitcoins. The IOUs that the centralized platform (eg. the exchange) promises to convert back to bitcoin if you wanted to  withdraw.
3293  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I want sell my house for bitcoin on: November 14, 2022, 04:16:36 AM
I will got 3 house when I sold my house then buy bitcoin with that money
In short you should know that this won't happen overnight because bitcoin is not a "get rich quick" scheme!

Considering that you said this is a secondary house that you don't use, it's OK to do this but as long as you understand the risks involved. For example price could continue dropping (meaning you could lose money) for some time or price could stay here but in both cases it could take a very long time for price to go back up for you to start seeing any profit. Can you accept the fact that you may need to wait for a year or two to see profit?

Also you should educate yourself about storing bitcoins correctly in a cold storage so that you don't just lose all that money to a hack or malware or something like that!
3294  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Any PC Wallets to store many coins and exchange them? on: November 14, 2022, 04:09:46 AM
CZ tweeted today about Trust Wallet - your keys - your coins:
You gotta love CZ that uses any opportunity he gets to advertise his own shitty services even though there is no difference between Binance and even their closed source Trust wallet and the FTX schemes.
3295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin private key with 98 characters and starting with 3 on: November 14, 2022, 04:02:20 AM
Anyway, "SECG" is a encoding method that produces 97 characters long private keys.
SECG stands for Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group which is not an encoding algorithm itself but set of standards that define many algorithms one of which is key deployment. It could be a key generated using OpenSSL in which case the file should have a .pem extension and the data should start with 0x30 (sequence tag). But you still have to decode the string.

I suppose they are people like OP who like living in debt up to their necks with an extremely high cost of living that is also rising these days due to high inflation rates thanks to nonstop money printing machines that have produced the highest national debt in the world. That's not even including the high tax rates where the lower class and middle class pay more taxes in one month than the 1% upper class pays their entire lives. Grin
3297  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is there a movement for change in Iran? on: November 13, 2022, 05:18:29 AM
But in this way, we deny that there is a human rights issue in Iran
There is human rights issue everywhere. However, it is far less in Iran. I dare say less than anywhere else in the world. Last year alone US police murdered 4900 prisoners, French police is regularly shooting protesters and blinding a lot of them, UK police recently had a clash with idiots protesting against Iranian police and UK police brutally beat all of them and arrested most! in Saudi Arabia they recently hung 81 people for no reason half of them were children from age of 9 to 14.
How many cases you can find from Iran?!

Quote
and that the people suffer from a decline in the level of freedoms and political representation.
The biggest problem we have in Iran IMO is too much freedom and political representation. Literary anybody is doing whatever the hell they want and say whatever they want. For example over the past couple of weeks a separatist is literary inciting violence in Zahedan (city in Eastern Iran) and advertises separatism. A crime that has up to 8 years prison anywhere else in the world and in Arab countries specifically in Saudi Arabia the punishment is beheading. In Iran on the other hand, due to freedom of speech nobody arrests that asshole.

Quote
If the well-known media cannot be trusted, the testimonies shared on social media platforms, in addition to Iranian cinema, cannot be denied,
Except that the negative things you read on social media is produced by US military in their cold war project with Iran. Here is a study by Stanford university: https://stacks.stanford.edu/file/druid:nj914nx9540/unheard-voice-tt.pdf
3298  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bearish fud main account Bitcoin on Twitter on: November 13, 2022, 04:17:18 AM
What is the reason of being bearish
The reason for being bearish (or pretending to be) on the internet, specially when they are spreading FUD, is that whenever we have a drop like what we had recently a lot of people start shorting bitcoin. Most of them short bitcoin when the drop ended. So in order to make any profit and not lose money they have to see bitcoin price drop more. But as we can see the drop stopped just as fast as it started so now these people are caught with their pants down...

I'm afraid I cant tell how I stumbled across this key, but I can tell that this is a bitcoin key because where I found It, mentions that this is a private key of a lost wallet. And what my post aint the only one mentioning bitcoin private key with 98 characters.
Did you manage to decode the string to its byte array representation to have more information about the actual data?
This project called FinderOuter has a decoder that you could use to quickly check your string with 5 common encoding algorithm used in Bitcoin and see if any of them can decode it and see the decoded data in hex with its length.

There was news by Aljazeera that dozens of tankers carrying about $2bn worth of natural gas are slowly sailing around northwest Europe and the Iberian Peninsula because they are holding out for higher market prices.
I'm not sure how true that is because these LNG supplies are heading for European LNG terminals and the problem there is that the unloading and conversion of LNG is going to take a lot of time which means there is a queue of tankers waiting to be unloaded simply because the terminal is busy!
In fact one of the reasons why gas price dropped was this. They got too desperate to sell their cargo faster that it created a fake "higher supply" slightly decreasing the price.
