Bump: 4.1 sat/vbyte should be enough for a fairly quick confirmation now. Just make sure to enable RBF, in case fees go up again and you can't wait. |

I think 16 random strings is the minimum (up to 56) The shorter v2 addresses can't be used anymore, now 56 characters (v3) is the default. I've just generated the following, which theymos can have for free.  btctalkhfmnva2746gkwhsxpirz3w7bu3ocut7uzjlszsxlou4naruyd.onion As always: "not your keys, not your coins address" applies here too. |

The Pharmacist 63 times and The Sceptical Chymist 4 times that's a total of 69 times, not sure it would be enough for a monthly Pornhubs premium sub  You know what they say: "the wish is the father of the thought". 63+4=69  Lol. |

Since another member advised me not to get involved in reputation boards No one should take away your freedom. There is no restriction in the forum, you can contribute anywhere you wish. It's (obviously) not forbidden, but as a Newbie, I stayed away from any Reputation drama. Bitcointalk looked like a scary place where users got tagged for the smallest things they did. Staying out of that is what earned me the nickname "Switzerland". |

I find it annoying when you mention a lot of people unnecessarily. I just use one notification bot, made by LoyceV. you can just make the bot ignore users that you find annoying using it. Even easier: you can just ignore certain topics. I don't think users should adjust their posting behaviour for people who use a notification bot. Bots should adjust to posts, not the other way around. |

Secondly what if you throw away your see because it was too week concealed amongst all those boxes? Some people never throw anything away  That only works if you don't buy too much unnecessary stuff, otherwise you'll turn into a hoarder. I'd say a box in a garage is a good place, usually those places store decades worth of items that "may come in handy some day", so it doesn't stand out.
The biggest risk is probably someone going through old junk looking for a few washers to fit something. |

How about Duckduckgo? That's a search engine, not a browser.Never mind, it's a browser too nowdays! I learned something new But it's a Windows beta, so not really useful for the rest of us. |

My mistake at that time was trying to install some video editor from an unofficial link and using crack. I'm sure you've discovered it by now, but you should never run pirated software on any system that should remain secure. Even better if you can find an open source alternative for it. Chrome is provably awful in every way, from being filled with spyware, to insecurely storing passwords I was flabbergasted years back, when I discovered Chrome "conveniently" uploaded all my stored passwords to Google. |

No operating system is completely safe and no operating system that can not be hacked. Probably what LoyceV means is that the chance of having such malware on Linux is low. Linux is also completely open source. Correct. Windows has been "the place to be" for malware for decades. Last year, 95% of all malware targeted Windows, even though it's market share is only 30% nowadays. Are you saying that if I don't use windows the chances of this copy/paste hack is zero? For example lets say I own a Mac laptop, am I safe from this attack? Thinking you're safe would be the biggest mistake. It's a lot safer, but even if it's a lot smaller, there's always a risk. So assume you're not safe, and act accordingly. |

Is there any means to properly helps new users understand the rules and regulations of this forum? There is, if they're willing to read it. What i will suggest is that as soon a user sign up on the forum the next message they should see as a pop-up messages See Writing a welcome message, which hasn't been implemented in 5 years. I believe if him or she is ban she may not know his offense of getting ban. I believe that spammers like this aren't here to contribute anything to Bitcointalk. They can't be helped by showing them the rules, they can only be banned. It's common internet netiquette not to spam on any forum. |

P.S.. Sorry if I wrote something wrong. Before I whitelist you: are you sure you want a space in front of the keywords? |

And how safe is it to use Bitcoin Core in pruned mode? In this case, you have to download only 6GB of data. Bitcoin Core website says that you aren't sacrificing any security by enabling pruning. Pruning without sacrificing security means you'll have to download about 500 GB, it just takes only 6GB on disk. And indeed, as far as I know that is as safe as running a full node. So, if I enable pruning and create a bitcoin transaction, will my IP be revealed to other nodes? Yes. But your node could just as well be broadcasting someone else's transaction. |

AHMED carried out an attack on the Crypto Exchange by exploiting a vulnerability in one of the Crypto Exchange’s smart contracts and inserting fake pricing data to fraudulently cause that smart contract to generate approximately $9 million dollars’ worth of inflated fees This has been the problem with "smart" contracts ever since Ethereum's DAO "hack": the contract isn't as smart as they want you to believe, and the users don't even understand how it works. AHMED was a senior security engineer for an international technology company whose resume reflected skills in, among other things, reverse engineering smart contracts and blockchain audits, which are some of the specialized skills AHMED used to execute the attack. With normal contracts, you have to be a lawyer to fully understand what's in there. With smart contracts, you need to be a security engineer to understand it. That's ironic: the sole purpose of a smart contract was be to make it trustless. If it's trustless, fraud wouldn't be possible. As a user, I stay away from "smart" contracts. Don't send your money into something you don't fully understand! |

I've used nothing but Tor Browser to access the forum for over a year, and it definitely feels like Cloudflare is slowly trying to make it harder and harder for people to keep doing that... Makes you wonder why  a man-in-the-middle in your HTTPS Cloudflare is very probably an NSA honeypot |

Besides, I do agree that using separate seeds would both improve security I assume this setup would use offline signing, in which case different seeds don't increase security. and reduce the complexity of having to track multiple derivation paths. You don't need to use different derivation paths, you can simply use different addresses/keys from within one Electrum wallet for A1, A2 and A3. |
|
|
|
With A1, A2 and A3 being with just one person, that is he will have to back 3 keys and 3 Seeds. All 3 keys can be derived from the same seed. |

Check your connection and also refresh/clear your browser history. Then you can try again. This is helpful most times . OP is talking about Tor. Wiping the browser history is the default. |

We are being ruled by CF Bitcointalk needs a .onion site for Tor users, one that works without Cloudflare. Use Ctrl+Shift+L to get a New Tor circuit for this site. On many websites, that doesn't help anymore. Cloudflare just blocks all Tor users. |
