3301  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium: how to verify address on hardware wallet? on: June 30, 2022, 09:40:31 AM
Did Mycelium forget to implement this feature?

Indeed, I cannot find such a feature in Mycelium.

On the other hand, Mycelium kinda works the same also without HW - if I connect my Nano S once, next day I don't need it for balances and such, I will need it only when I want to sign tx. At least that's how I've been using it the very few times I've used Android wallet to spend.

I've been also thinking on how would Mycelium do with signing a message with that address (you know, to force/trick Mycelium into validating that address somehow) , but I couldn't do that either since the HW wallet is not the first HD account in my Mycelium (is it possible to sign only with the addresses generated by a pure Mycelium HD wallet??)

According to my computation the recent sell off in Bitcoin is going to cost huge money to MicroStrategy:

And according to Michael Saylor's latest tweet, MicroStrategy keeps DCA-ing like everything is normal Cheesy
They've just bought (yesterday) 480BTC so their total is around 129,699BTC and the average price is ~30,664$

Does anyone know why Wasabi Wallet is still among recommended wallets on bitcoin.org?

I think that you're doing it wrong and will not get the correct answer here.

I think that you should make another topic exactly on this matter, gather the correct information and input there (I don't know the story good enough, sorry) and then, if it's the case, post an issue into Bitcoin.org git ( https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org/issues ) with explanations and link to the topic you've created, then see what can be done.
3304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Today is the story of my investment in Bitcoin on: June 29, 2022, 11:28:33 AM

I find is an extremely risky move. Of course, it may pay off. But I hope that you have a backup plan in case bitcoin price doesn't go as expected in the next 2 years.
And yes, make sure you have very safe means of storage for your newly acquired coins: hardware wallet or even safely (offline) generated seed or private key; and the backup/recovery should also be safe and offline.
Best of luck!

3307  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Crypto minning, your story on: June 29, 2022, 09:33:22 AM
I am also one of the newbie in crypto world. I started Bitcoin cloud mining through
[~snip~]
Ideally, Cloud Mining is the best way to kick start your crypto mining journey!

I don't know that specific platform, but 99.999% of cloud mining platforms are 100% scam. Keep in mind that any website can show numbers and images without owning any equipment; the harsh reality comes when you attempt to withdraw to your own wallet.



Maybe I'm a bit late for OP, but I'll answer that too:

Hello everyone, tell me who earns how much on mining? how much can you earn from this?

For bitcoin mining you need specialized equipment, dirt cheap electricity and some clean place where noise is not a problem.
For altcoin mining a good GPU (possibly CPU too) will do, again if you have dirt cheap electricity.
However, mining requires some technical knowledge, since if you don't know what you're doing you can end up not earning or even burning down your place.

Has anyone worked as a p2p exchanger?

If you're new you can get scammed.
Also you may need money handling license or get very good on hiding your back.

While I am new to crypto, I want to accumulate good capital, if anyone can help, let's chat

Bitcoin is money. If you want to accumulate good capital, find the thing you are good at, do that, earn money - in any form - and if you want to invest some of that into Bitcoin or altcoins, you can do that too.
3308  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Somebody remember this old BTC Service? Watching ads getting BTC in return on: June 29, 2022, 09:19:52 AM
I remember being registered on a platform, where you could watch ads and get Bitcoins in return. It was in 2010-2012. Does somebody remember a service like this existed or even know the name?

As said, if you want to recover funds from such services then you're dreaming.
However, this Google search should return some such websites, you can paste it into your browser and give it a try, maybe some result from there would ring a bell:

3309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Small Canadian company listed in the stock market as HODL has capitulated on: June 29, 2022, 09:13:42 AM
I find it a quite peculiar move from a company calling itself "a sector leader for blockchain [...] focused investments".
I mean that a company focused on such investments should know about the market cycles and that there's a good chance that they simply sold at - or close to - the minimal price for 2022.
But maybe they know / expect something we don't. Or maybe something has change in their internal status and they change their object of activity?

However, they are cypherpunks as much as I'm a cat. That's for sure.
3310  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anonimizing your bitcoin on: June 29, 2022, 07:52:43 AM
The easiest way I found is just buy bitcoin, swap it to xmr then send xmr to another exchange to swap back to btc and just like that, the public KYC/paper trail is broken.

Centralized exchanges will know the IP you use and if you are not *very* careful, this can easily lead back to you.

Interestingly your list doesn't mention mixing, which is easier and less prone to user errors.
3311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Roger ver got liquidated and owes like 47 million to CoinFLIX on: June 29, 2022, 07:41:05 AM
then tokenise and beg for $47m from random individuals..

.. its a 9 month old company that has no actually big project that is worthy of that amount having been done in the last 9 months. (red flag)

Already tokenize some sketchy random debt is big enough red flag Wink

But we both know that if they can wrap the shit in a shiny enough paper, there may be* enough people too greedy and too stupid to notice the stench and will buy in.
*I've said only "may be" because I expect that in the bear market some of the potential buyers may have got some more sense. So the 9 old company is not smart enough to do this crap when crypto investors are not panicking about their investments' future Cheesy
3312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Roger ver got liquidated and owes like 47 million to CoinFLIX on: June 29, 2022, 07:11:24 AM
I've read some days ago that Roger Ver is broke. But since it was not from a reliable source I didn't give it so much attention.
If it's true - and I would not be surprised if it's so, since he has wasted shitload of money for his crappy altcoin - then I see it as "yet another Bitcoin enemy going down".

Just one question: if he's so much broke, does he still afford to keep bitcoin.com? Because that domain name does worth quite a nice amount, you know...
3313  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How merits spread started? on: June 29, 2022, 06:52:36 AM
This maybe a noob or complicated question and apologize in advance if this may find you a dumb question to ask but i just want to know the history of how the Merit spread in the forum.

Firstly, we know that Satoshi Nakamoto founded this Bitcointalk forum way back November 22, 2009 to be exact and his key people are Martti Malmi & Theymos. Source : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitcoinTalk

Secondly, in relation to the title of the topic, I was told that Merit system was introduced by Theymos and my first thought then was, did Theymos hold thousand of Merit when the merit system was implemented and distributed it to the pioneer of this forum? or is he have a merit source key people to do the job? or when the merit system implemented all of the users that time got rewarded some automatically?

Thirdly, If this post may find insult to the pioneer of this forum, I apologize. Be know that my intention was to know the history of how merit spread first to the community because i find it brilliant steps and motivational as keystone to uphold this forum from spammer.

Lastly, I thank the key people who made this message board where people can talk to each other and sharing ideas. Thank you in advance for enlightening me.

I think that you may have greatly misunderstood merit.
I will start with the fact that bitcointalk is a forum. A centralized forum. Whatever happens in this forum is in the hands of its administrator, since he can do whatever he wants with the database where everything from this forum is stored.
Now, the merit is not bitcoin. The merit doesn't need proof of work. The merit is just numbers Theymos adds to the database, out of thin air.

When merit was implemented many old user had already certain ranks. I am very new in here compared to the founders, but I already had Legendary rank by then. Just as an example.
When merit was implemented everybody got "airdropped" merit according to his rank. I've received 1000 merit. I don't remember how much spendable merit (sMerit) I've got then, it must have been at least 500 (half of the received merit). From that point people started meriting valuable posts, legendary posts or their idols. If you look into https://bpip.org you'll see most merited accounts and also how much everybody got airdropped.
For example Satoshi has 4473 merit, of which 4223 earned and 100 airdropped. And I can assure you he didn't post anything since the merit exists Wink

Meanwhile a fair number of merit sources were created, meaning that certain users get spendable merit (within some limits) in order to keep the merit flowing in the forum, hence getting the more valuable posts getting merited.
Everybody who receives merit can spend half of that (rounded down) for meriting others.

Did I miss anything? Please ask if so.

3314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin halving and hardness on: June 28, 2022, 02:37:59 PM
Maybe I have misunderstood what hard means and I am using it incorrectly.

There's a good chance that your choice of words could have been the cause for so many contradictory answers you've got on Reddit? (I didn't look there for your post though, so I may be wrong).
I think that the word you were looking for may have been "expensive"? At least this is how I've read/understood your question "will bitcoin be 2x more expensive than now?"
3315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fear of losing my coins grabbed me by neck on: June 28, 2022, 02:23:13 PM
Brothers and Sisters on the forum I need your help, I don't have money for a hardware wallet and all I have left is android wallet, the problem is fear of copying my private key into something else, I have come to realise that clicking on COPY on your phone can be dangerous, where to decide to PASTE can be unsafe too, for those who aren't using hardware wallet how are you doing it? What is the safe procedure with mobile wallet users.

Warning, this may be a little advanced for newbies, especially if not tech savvy!

For you have a computer or laptop? Or do you have somebody in your family who can help? Do you have 2 USB sticks (you can do also with one and some patience)? Or can you borrow one for a 30-60 minutes job?
Get Tails OS onto an USB stick, boot from that (with no internet at all), run Electrum from there. Create a new wallet.

Write the seed (or the first address' private key) down to paper.
You need in Electrum to see addresses: View->Addresses. Copy/paste the first address from the wallet into a new file into second USB (or you can write to another piece of paper).

Make sure you've written everything correctly, optionally you can do it by trying to recover to a new wallet and see if the (first) address is matching.
Tip: make sure you write different 1, I, l since it's a common mistake.

Now make multiple copies of that seed or private key (copy by hand, not xerox!) and keep them safe in multiple safe locations. Maybe laminate them.

Reboot the computer/laptop into the original PC, you can clean the USB stick (GParted for Linux or Macrorit Partition Expert Free Edition for Windows should be fit for the job) and format like new (keep in mind that if you started Tails without persistence - the default mode - then you don't have anything important on that USB).

Now you can send your coins from Android to the newly created address.
That address never touched the internet and should be safe.
You can look on https://mempool.space how much money you have on that address.
You basically made yourself safely a paper wallet. Enjoy!
3316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin halving and hardness on: June 28, 2022, 02:04:37 PM
I posted this on Reddit and got a bunch of conflicting answers, so thought I may get a clearer answer here.

Am I correct in saying that if the hashrate were to remain the same, bitcoin will be 2x as hard after the 2024 halving as it is now?

Note, I am not talking about the difficulty of the SHA-256 problem needed to mine one block. Rather, I am referring to how hard bitcoin would be as a money/asset, purely from an economics perspective.

Thank you very much.

While the miners will get half of the block rewards (plus probably same transaction fees, let's not forget) for the same amount of work (and spent electricity) since you said that the difficulty won't increase, this doesn't necessarily mean that the price on the exchanges will double. It's not only the miners who are selling bitcoin.
It should have an effect, but it's not easy to predict how big that effect will be. As said, there's no direct correlation. On the other hand, if we go by the s2f model, the price should get to some 3.5x current value (so much "stronger" than what you say).
Even more, that price is usually counted in gradually, it doesn't happen in the second (or day, or week) of the halving.
3317  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: waiting to buy lower? on: June 28, 2022, 01:05:23 PM
People are waiting to buy lower, but what if you're wrong and this is the bottom?

You never know what's going to happen next.

Actually those still waiting will never buy. They still need some sort of miracle to convince them. Some wait for lower prices and when the prices start rising they cry that they've missed the train and now is too expensive (no matter when that now is), some others are disappointed and sell now at a loss, claiming Bitcoin to be Ponzi and so on, and near the next ATH they may FOMO buy again.

As said, human psychology is very strange / counterintuitive. And also as said, whoever wants to buy, DCA is the easiest and best way to do it.
3318  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the bear market be more significant on: June 28, 2022, 09:10:30 AM
Bitcoin is not yet at $14000, is the report accurate?

The report is inaccurate simply because the future cannot be properly predicted. But the value is not impossible. I think that the worse-case scenario is under 10k actually.
Whether these values will be "touched" or not is something nobody could tell for sure. So everything is just speculation (worthless talk). We can tell what was the minimum only when the bear market is certainly behind us. And it's not the case yet.
3319  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Feedback from a bitcoin user interview - letter “l” mistaken as numeral 1 on: June 28, 2022, 09:06:43 AM
Same here, I've never faced this issue because I usually copy-paste (and check thoroughly I've pasted what I was supposed to, since clipboard malware is a real threat) or scan QR code.
Even more, I have experience and I do write different I, l and 1.

"transaction can't be made and so bitcoin is not received. It's not easy for a user to realize a cause of the problem and recover" <- I tend to disagree with this, the wallet should tell that the address is incorrect. At that point, if the user is well intended and has no other solution, will contact you and ask for a correct address.
