Can I mine test coins? I have some mining machines.

Actually, it is mentioned. See image: https://ibb.co/ncdghzc

That is one more argument to make me doubtful. If the official web support page mention this Telegram link, then one more reason to believe it should be legitimate.   Oh! furthermore, I now remember that the suspicious guy who ask to enter my the details about my wallet, his name was listed on the right panel on the Telegram app. where, supposedly all officials of the myNode channel support team have their name listed. That is really weird.

I haven't conducted my second attempt yet. But I will post the results here when done.

But you, OP, didn't describe in detail what kind of an issue you have with your mynode.

BACKSTORY

I was using Guarda as my wallet for my BTC. I was using their multi-signature BTC wallet with my friend; 2of2, meaning I needed 2 signatures in order to send out my BTC (i.e we both need to sign it for us to be able to withdraw). For the last 3 months, there was a bug with specifically the BTC multi-sig wallets, in that whenever you create a transaction, the other person would not see it, hence unable to sign it, meaning your BTC was stuck with no other way to withdraw it. Guarda staff constantly said "they're working on a fix" with no other explanation, and after 3 months of the same response, I got fed up with waiting and did my own research. Here is the solution to how I successfully withdrew my BTC from Guarda, without actually using Guarda itself, despite it being a multi-signature wallet. I hope this helps someone who may be stuck in a similar position to me in the future!

STEP 3: Create your TRANSACTION https://i.imgur.com/cBq282f.png

Figure out what you want the fee to be (make sure it's large enough to get confirmed on the first block). This is if you are sending the ENTIRE BALANCE ONLY. So if you are sending 0.2 BTC, and that's your entire balance, do like 0.197 BTC and keep 0.003 as the fee (for example).

That is the Telegram channel in question. Surprisingly it looks so legitimate. I'm not sure what to think anymore.

I don’t find anyone to really do anything for free especially, when it’s going to cost them something to do it. Miners gets to procure these devices to enable them mine and get the rewards that follow, they spend on energy too used by these devices that have pushed environmentalist to take interest on energy used by mining and so, having any hope that these shouldn’t be subsidized from fees is a mistaken idea.

While the model of high fees would not be acceptable, it tends to persist only for a period of time and that in itself is acceptable. In a way, it discourages users from making more and more transactions which would in turn result in scarcity and that is good for the system I think.

I'm trying to find this guy as surely someone posted about him here already but no dice yet, will keep looking but..Anyone remember that one user who had that bald headed weird looking guy as his forum avatar who used to be the king of doing this, maybe 5-6 years back..I mean it was all day, every day..I can't remember his name but he was maybe up there with "The one above all" (which I'm also forgetting his orig forum name, as I think TOAA was his 3rd-5th alt or so..hard to keep up).  Those two were so deranged I almost miss them, and miss Tman going at them, who was equally loony just in a diff way, though a former friend (when he was thought to be trustworthily ..smh).

This is what his posts look like w/o ChatGPT... Ay yayay. Sad to say it but a decent % of users shouldn't be posting on this forum at all. I just can't believe how incredibly low the bar is for getting accepted into a sig campaign here (granted the aforementioned offender was not yet in a campaign). Campaign managers should really set higher standards so we don't have to read the barrage of nonsense that comes from their campaigners, and so those that aren't interested in writing anything remotely interesting don't even bother trying.

Campaign Operators:

Signature Campaigns are a great way to introduce your business and advertise your services to the bitcoin ecosystem but this cannot be abused by you paying people to make poor contributions en masse. As a signature campaign operator you will ultimately be held responsible for the quality of posts of users bearing your signature advertisement and you will need to monitor your users closely or it will be quickly abused. If you are running a campaign and it becomes blatantly obvious to Staff that you are doing little to nothing to stop spam on your campaign you will be issued a PM warning by a Global Moderator that you need to make immediate improvements to curb low-quality posts. You will have 7 days to remove low-quality posters and respond to the message detailing what you are going to do to make changes to your campaign to reduce the amount of spam. If improvements are not noticeable within 21 days of that and Staff do not believe you are doing enough to prevent low quality posts your signatures will be blacklisted from the forum by an Admin and you will no longer be permitted to advertise here in such a way. The Staff and Admins do not want to have to do this but it's a last resort in an attempt to clean up the forum as signature campaigns cannot continue to operate here in such a lazy way as it is not fair that others have to go through pages of drivel to find anything of substance nor should Staff be left to clean up the mess you are paying people to make.

Years ago, when downloading all old profiles, I found (if I remember correctly) 30k profiles with similar URLs. Most of them are probably proxy banned, but even if they get a real ban, that profile information won't get wiped.

OK. Some weird things happened. First, if I edit .env with nano, the file will be edited properly. Then when restarting BTC_RPC_Explorer from myNode "Manage" page, the .env file will revert back to original. All changes will disappear.

Which config file ?  Bitcoin or .env ?
Thanks

They should not since the address (the data part) is short and non-standard (20 byte instead of expected 32).

You can use this site https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2h,weight



Currently the weight on 10+ sat/vbytes is 43.403 vMB since the average weight of each Bitcoin block is 2 MB and it takes 10 minutes to mine one block, so it may takes around 6-7 hours CMIIW.

For historical accuracy we felt it was worth putting in both views on the Satoshi piece since its still unsettled (literally being discussed in part due to the on-going COPA trail in the UK). 

Why wasn't he banned months ago? If Mods let chatbot plagiarism go unpunished, Bitcointalk will be completely overrun in a few years.

Thanks for the great questions.

1. Umbrel and other nodes are set up for people who want to run nodes.  The Epiphany is  for people who want to transact in Bitcoin easily and peer-to-peer.  To use the Epiphany you don't even need to know what a node is and no additional devices or software are needed.  You can do everything on the touchscreen.  Take it anywhere you like or leave it at home. The built in battery and touchscreen combination make the uses almost unlimited while adhering to the core tenants of Bitcoin.  No other wallet except Core does this.  That is why we call it a Hardcore wallet.
2. We are hoping to sell the base model between $300 and $350 US and the 2TB version for $450.
3. Yes it will have an integrated camera for scanning QR codes. 

Is the most merited list a good indicator of this?

If the members are regularly active in the "Technical Discussion" board, then yes

Yes, it is possible to bridge out from Bitcoin Testnet to Bitcoin Signet. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to use a bridge contract. A bridge contract is a smart contract that allows you to convert your Testnet bitcoins into Signet bitcoins. To use a bridge contract, you'll need to have a wallet that supports both Testnet and Signet, such as the Metamask wallet. Once you have your wallet set up, you can then use the bridge contract to transfer your Testnet bitcoins to Signet. The process is fairly straightforward, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the transfer is successfully..
 Once you've bridged out your bitcoins, you'll be able to use them on the Signet network. It's important to note that while you can bridge out from Testnet to Signet, you cannot bridge back from Signet to Testnet. Additionally, you should be aware that Signet is still in beta, and there may be some bugs or issues that arise. Overall, bridging out from Testnet to Signet is a relatively simple process, but it's always a good idea to proceed with caution when dealing with cryptocurrency.

Made a post about this on Bitcoin Discussion but was deleted for some reason so ill post it here. I've been reading about JoinMarket and noticed this post on this forum about it. url: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1609980.0

It describes a potential way to unmix JoinMarket by exploiting its maker taker system. To simplify it says that all outputs of a mix are either maker or taker but it is trivial to determine which outputs are makers as they will continue on to participate in more mixes while the taker order will not therefore it can be unmixed.

Is this still an issue for JoinMarket or have they found a way around it?
