No.
If you're young, if you have no family that relies on you then it's a great opportunity: you travel, you see new places, you meet new people, you work in a field with great future, you do what you like.
But I'm not young and doing this would mean to either stay away from my family for (too) long, either get them with me, meaning also the children have to start school in another language.

I guess that OP is young, but he should realize that this is quite a niche opportunity, it's great for some, but a clear no-go for most.

The previous post got it pretty good:
* it depends on the prices in your area
* it depends on what other offers you get or you can get (COVID is over, businesses may slowly start expanding, but it may be slow)
* it depends on the legal status of bitcoin mining in your place
* it depends on the electricity contracts/status in relation with mining in your area (I'm not so much technical, but I'd guess that electricity still has to be bought)
* I don't know whether the noise is or not a problem

There are plenty of things you know / you have to think about. Ah, and it also depends on how badly and fast you need the money too.
Really, it's not so much of advice we could give - whether the offer is good or bad - since it depends greatly on local things.


And although the answer is imho completely irrelevant (I don't live in America), I'll still give it:
I would probably accept the offer, since it would mean I'd almost double my monthly income.

Exactly.
One rule about crypto links I've found out long ago is to look for the ANN page on bitcointalk, where that's possible (it exists), or at least the link itself on bitcointalk (since people could have been telling about it already).
If it's not here, it usually doesn't worth the hassle (scam or worthless)

You meant non-custodial, right?
If so, it's a very good (and tough) question, since even blockchain.info seems to be alive only since 2011...

By learning more. As simple as that. And maybe by having a more mature view on the forum.

I was criticized in many occasions by people more technical than me, just because I tried to help, but, because I was not knowledgeable enough, I failed or made mistakes.
Meanwhile I've learned a lot more, I've learned from some, I've put others on ignore (it helps sometimes ) and .. "grew up".

Now I know that everybody has the right for having an opinion, no matter how wrong that is. Now I know that different people have different standards.

This would open the door for a feature like what OP has been asking indeed (nice idea!).

For the rest, as I said, I fear that it has better chance to look unprofessional than actually be helpful. And to avoid this, I think that the most useful approach can be user scripts. (But I fear that if one can make use of the user scripts, he can also find better ways to search too).

Iirc from the days I've been mining it's a wildly rough estimation based on the time needed by that pool to find the previous block or blocks.
A simplistic math would say that if that pool got previous block in 2h and now they're mining for 1h, then it's 50% of their estimated effort. If 3h have passed and still no block found, then it's 150%.

The price is not enough information for deciding this. Even more, high appreciation sounds like FOMO.
It may be a trap. Even more, since Bitcoin price goes up, some altcoins (most) will also go up.

This topic may be more appropriate for Altcoins section.

I would be surprised to see that somebody has been using seed phrase in 2010. BIP39 seems to exist only since September 2013.


This could have been the private key. If it's not a hexadecimal string it's even more difficult to guess what could it be.
I've seen this YouTube movie about buying Bitcoin for PayPal from CoinPal and the long string was the transaction ID which doesn't help much in recovering your funds (you can only find from there your address and the content of it).
Maybe you have more information in your e-mail?

Since you said "custody", there may be that you've used some custodian web wallet. I've found on Reddit some names, maybe they'll help you remember something, but those are long gone, together with your money (since in a custodian system you have an account, they have your money)

It's more than that. It's also about "money you don't afford to lose", as we keep saying. It means that if you think that you'll need that money badly in the next months you better stay away. If you don't do that, especially together with point 1 on that list, then you're the perfect target: FOMO-bought high, then got scared for your money (since you don't afford to lose) and sold. Then the price can go up: rinse and repeat.

Since what we have there is far from what we could call free market, since the ruble going up is a blatant scam/market manipulation, I don't know why we should compare that "performance" with anything else.
It's (yet another) highly cunning move from the Russians. Since some weaklings have accepted to pay in rubles for the already overpriced gas and oil, they'll pay even more, since the ruble is "strong". It would be funny if it wouldn't be so painfully sad. More money for Putin's war effort...

The top answer is not necessarily the one with the most merits. One example can easily be that somebody goes somewhat off-topic and that "branch" gets more merit.
Also in many cases the best answer goes unmerited, like the whole topic.

And, most important: this is a discussion forum, not a "fix my problem" forum, hence in many cases/topics there cannot be a best answer because the topic itself was not a question (and automatically picking an automated answer would look unprofessional at best).

Well, he could have taken risks at the end and try to win the race, but he didn't.
Imho there were more drivers deserving to be driver-of-the-day:
* Sainz for being smart at changing tyres
* Checo for beating Max in qualifying and for winning the race
* Alonso for keeping Lewis behind him for so long, although the Mercedes is a pretty good car now

Also I'd add a worthy special mention: Leclerc race strategist (or whatever the name is) beautifully deserves the golden raspberry for his "performance".


Indeed, money talks. And I think that certain regions are promising this or that just to see F1 going there too. Also certain automakers want publicity in new regions.
But Monaco is part of F1 history and it's still considered the jewel of the crown. It's hugely unsafe (and I'm surprised the rainy Sunday didn't go worse), but I still hope it won't be just left out because all of this.

While it's indeed a world where too many want to sell you something, scam you or find a way to profit, generalizing makes you be wrong.
There are also plenty of people eager to help out, especially if one is vulnerable or in trouble.

But all this is the human nature. Nothing has change in the last 1000s of years; it's just that
* advertising and scammers can reach you faster
* human contact is diminished (usually by choice!) and vulnerable people usually need somebody in person to "be there"
* media will spam you with all the wrongdoing in the world because shocking sells, and they have advertising to sell

But again, nothing new really.
One needs friends. Good friends. As many as possible. Then, if one betrays you in a way or another, there will be the others to help out.



However, this kind of discussion is too general and not Bitcoin related; you may want to move it to Off topic, or Politics, I don't know... (see bottom-left link)

No matter you try to recover the wallet on PC or Android, there is an option (button) you have to find and check BIP39 for your seed.
On Android there's a settings wheel on top of the same view where you have to enter the seed phrase.
On PC, under the box you enter the seed there's an Options button for the same reason.

Please let us know if you managed to get to your funds.
Also it may be better to not share same seed between wallets and (especially if you're on PC, since there it's easy) you better generate a new seed and transfer your funds there.
However, make sure your system is not infected, you downloaded Electrum from Electrum.org and you've verified it.

Nice review!
It looks like a wonderfully nice toy, it's on my wish list too for some while, for when my HW dies or Pi Zero will be again in stock in my country, whichever comes first.
Until then the software should also get more mature + maybe Electrum will also implement the missing feature(s).


Camera + screen are the two directions/devices for transferring information between SeedSigner and the hot wallet. Both are crucially important.

Am mai vazut reclama de acest gen la acel magnific IC, care, din ce am inteles, e doar inca un altcoin.
Din ceea ce intelesesem sunt avizi dupa aplicatii creeate pentru platforma lor.
Dar nu mi-am batut capul sa vad daca e bun la ceva, ca nu m-a interesat. Oricum, sunt prea multe "buzz words" pe acolo pentru gustul meu (nici nu-mi bat capul daca acele "chestii" chiar exista )
Si, desi anuntul este destul de bine tradus (nu stiu si nu ma intereseaza de unde), mi s-a parut genial ca a ramas acolo fusul orar american

I will add the one mostly said after the price drops dramatically: "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets".
It seems that it was said by Nathan Rothschild.

Just look at the oddly changing tone between his other post ( https://ninjastic.space/topic/5400750 ) and this one.
He's clearly fishing for greedy newbies.

Everybody reading this: if it looks too good to be true, it's most probably a scam, remember?

I find this kind of tools very important for newbies, with a couple of notes:

* this kind of tool will show you how small is the chance for getting an address collision; one has bigger chance to win lotto many week-ends in a row than getting a collision; still newbies may want to see for themselves
* if one tries to use this kind of tool he has to be aware that he will consume electricity that costs money
* if (by incredible luck) one finds a collision he should think very good if he indeed wants to spend that money (since that would be stealing)
