I think Satoshi pulled out a definitely new and ingenuous way of keeping records of a financial history, but I don't think it's that much of a revolution yet. I think there is still so much time to pass before an actual revolution happens. Right now, people and corps are still testing the grounds to see how they can make use of the blockchain tech to make more money or change the way things work around the world. There's imo still a very long way to go before we can consider this truly revolutionary.

I don't get why some people are so frustrated about not getting merits. The thing is, you get merits if your post is informative and well-researched bringing up a new idea into discussion. If one keeps making threads about gold vs BTC, Musk and stuff like that, they will probably not get merited for it.

But again, I don't get the point of being frustrated over not getting merits. I've been in that position myself of not earning any merit and I only learned what "good posts" means wby myself, the hard way. To be 100% honest, the only time I got frustrated about it was back when I was desperate for sig campaign positions.

Just because Bitcoin provides a certain level of privacy (although I wish was much stronger) doesn't mean authorities don't know about you and your addresses/txs. An authority which is keen enough on finding more about your digital history might easily find out about your crypto past if you don't take the right steps at the right time.

Also, not declaring those gains means you know and agreed to the possible legal consequences. When you declare your transactions, there is nothing to fear if you declare everything correctly. If you're unsure about your past, get in touch with an expert or it might actually be better not to declare anything at all than declaring an uncertain financial history.

The only issue is that this isn't a very reliable way of creating your own dead man's switch. I mean, I for example have lots of e-mail addresses I use. In time, I might completely forget that I created this switch and I might move on to another e-mail account without de-activating the switch. After the inactivity time expires, my message will be spread across the recipients.

Second of all, the message shouldn't contain sensitive information or something crucial needed to access an account! Because maybe the recipient's e-mail will at the time be in the wrong hands, so will your funds. Besides this, there are multiple other flaws. Google may not be even working anymore by the time you will be inactive.

To be honest, I would have fallen for the API keys scam as well. Congrats on this thread, it's very useful. I never understood the idea of giving my money to a stranger for them to play with it anyway. I don't understand even when people put their bucks in the trust management of some billionaire, because I wouldn't feel safe having some random guy I don't know make the moves they want, whenever they want.

At the end of the day, I think it's still best to make my own choices and decide where money goes by myself. But I'm the kind of person who heavily studies any domain before putting their life savings in it, which is something not many seem to do..

They probably meant or wanted to mean that there are two types of digital currencies: created by public institutions or by individuals. This is the only thing that's private with BTC: its creator. Except Satoshi, I don't think we can call anything else "private" when it comes to BTC.

The inability of "scaling in time" will imo be easily forgotten once ETH scales. I think scaling is an issue that's present within many of the top blockchains if not all of them (I'm talking about decentralized ones), so why would ETH's failure to scale in time be such a big issue? As soon as it's gonna be considered a good investment again, people will pour money into it.

Recomand si eu tot acelasi lucru: scrie un thread in engleza pe Mining Support si vei primi cu siguranta toate informatiile de care ai nevoie. Exista si o groaza de thread-uri deja deschise din care te poti orienta. De obicei raspunde cel putin o data philipma, unul dintre cei mai bine cunoscuti (daca nu chiar cel mai bine cunoscut) mineri de pe forum.

When the mempool is clogged up and the markets go wild, try to pay for stuff only in the weekends. My transactions usually get lowest fees on Saturdays, so that is for me the best day to pick if I want low fees and fast transaction confirmations. If you make txs when markets are wild, you might end up paying dozens of bucks which makes no sense imo..

Salutare! Pai decat sa iti placa sa crezi ca intelegi principiile BTC, de ce nu le aprofundezi sa le intelegi la modul serios? Din moment ce spui ca esti in domeniul tehnologiei, nu cred ca ti se va parea absolut deloc plictisitor. Mai ales cand afli ca s-au facut si inca se pot face o gramada de bani de aici, dar si sa intelegi ceva ce nu multi inteleg astazi. Pe masura ce inveti lucruri noi despre crypto, vei fi cu 2 pasi inaintea celorlalti.

Poansoanele nu-s prea scumpe. Poti lua cu pana in 50 RON un set de 3-4mm. Iar pe urma, cateva saibe si suruburi cu piulite nu costa deloc mult. Eu consider ca e o metoda mult mai viabila de a ascunde un seed. Poti ingropa o astfel de capsula oriunde si sa stai linistit ca nu se intampla ceva cu ea. Dar din punct de vedere al comoditatii si pentru persoanele noi in domeniu, desigur ca o hartie e cel mai probabil mai ok.

Exista legi nescrise pe care ei marseaza puternic. Prin "ei", ma refer la orice entitate ce are autoritate mai mare decat avem noi, plebea.

Tin minte ca a patit-o cineva cu ANAF-ul in urma cu nu mult timp, ajunsese si in presa stirea. I s-au cerut justificarile unor tranzactii chiar si de acum 10 ani de zile.. Cand li se pune pata, nu conteaza ce trebuie sau nu sa faci. Trebuie sa dai cu explicatii daca e nevoie pentru orice, numai sa stie ei totul despre tine si sa te bage daca se poate in pamant in caz ca incerci sa avansezi..

Probabil dau un pic inspre zvonuri si conspiratii, dar perioada "aleasa" atat de McAfee cat si de Popescu sa plece din lumea asta este un pic cam ciudata deci subscriu suspiciunile tale, Gazeta.

Citisem acum doar cateva zile ceva legat de Bitcoin si nu suna deloc a bine. E vorba despre urmatoarea postare de pe Reddit: "Governments Planning a Global Coordinated Attack on Bitcoin from Next Month Onwards [Due Diligence]".

N-am citit-o decat o data fugitiv, insa informatiile imi pica un pic greu la stomac desi de mult timp astept sa se intample ceva de genul acestor zvonuri. Si sper in continuare sa ramana tot la stadiu de zvonuri, desi nu prea pare.

Eu, unul, consider ca fie cineva le-a facut-o atat lui McAfee cat si lui Popescu, fie ca au folosit moartea lor drept o portita de evadare cu anumite scopuri.

My definition of quality differs from yours. And you don't have to teach legendary members stuff, you first have to teach yourself. Ask questions, answer others when you have the necessary knowledge to do so and you'll be on the right path. As mk4 said above, it's not necessary to educate others. When an interest is seen in your own attempt to educate yourself, some might reward you.

Just be yourself. Participate in threads and you'll be fine. If you care aboht earning lots of merits, you might find yourself stuck in an endless loop of no rewards.

Besides Bitcoin, probably Monero due to its privacy focused development. Although Bitcoin is no. 1 and will likely remain the same for a long while, I think Monero will soon start to gain advantage in front of any other crypto. As we can all clearly see, authorities are on a run for surveillance and as much control as possible of the world. Therefore, there is a  high chance that people will someday start to feel something missing... their intimacy.

When people will realize everything dictatorial is being done today under the name of "fighting terrorism", they will for the most part start seeking a way out. And considering the strong push of today for a digital currency.. it might actually happen quite sooner than most expect.

Da, aici intervin doua probleme. Prima ar fi faptul ca, daca s-ar lua din punctul zero in calcul tot ce a facut X si Y prin crypto si i-ar lua pe absolut toti la rost, pariez ca peste 80% nu mai stiu nici macar la ce curs au cumparat crypto acum 3 luni. Nu-i ca la aur, unde acu 3 luni era un pret si pana azi a crescut liniar. Eroarea umana apare fara indoiala in cazul crypto. Eu stiu doar cateva milestone-uri de preturi BTC, si chiar si alea cu un pic de nesiguranta.. ori am eu ceva probleme cu memoria, ori volatilitatea te cam baga in ceata. Si pe urma, nu cred ca se preciza nicaieri ca trebuie sa pastrezi dovezi financiare pentru crypto achizitionat, iar o mare parte din ATM-urile de azi nici macar nu emit automat bonuri.. in fine.

O a doua problema este faptul ca, teoretic, daca esti acuzat trebuie se aplica intai prezumtia de nevinovatie. Asta nu stiu cat merge cu institutiile statului (banuiesc ca deloc?), dar cert e ca daca vor sa ia istoricul unui utilizator crypto la analize, cred ca de multe ori nici blockchain analysis-ul nu e de prea mare folos. Nu-i ca la banca, unde ai datele personale ale fiecarei adrese publice, deci e o mare incurcatura iar dovedirea unei anumite actiuni e cam grea.

Cum zici si tu.. e o lege incetosata pentru care unii s-ar putea sa si-o ia in bot fara merit. Ramane de vazut. Mie nu prea imi vine sa scot vreun ban din crypto pana nu stiu sigur ca actiunile mele se pupa cu legea.

Nu trebuie sa postezi public adresele tale. Ba mai mult de atat, sa nu cumva sa oferi cuiva vreun seed sau backup in caz ca ti se cere.

Mergi la Tools -> Export Private Keys. Dupa ce ti-ai salvat intr-un fisier toate cheitele private de la adrese, incearca sa le introduci intr-un Dogecoin-Core. Vezi ca s-ar putea sa fie probleme cu sincronizarea blockchain-ului.. cel putin acum cateva luni de zile aveau probleme mari pe partea asta.

If he didn't store his keys somewhere, well.. it's a donation to everyone, right?

How does this comparison even make sense? Bitcoin is a currency, CEO is a position. Even if "CEO" has been searched more times on Google than "Bitcoin" recently, it doesn't really mean much. How often do you search for "cashier" really? Not so often, do you? Yet, it's one of the most popular (as in number of spots) jobs in the world..

I guess this remains to be seen. If he had this much info available on corrupt members of the government, I highly doubt there was no "dead man switch" he planned in advance. He profited off the crypto market and all, but at the end of the day he definitely isn't/wasn't a stupid man. If anything, these things are ready to be launched into the public I guess.

Anyway... at some time in the future this won't last forever. Before, they could burn libraries and get away with it. Today, internet and tech makes it much harder since replicating information is as easy as copy-pasting.
