Ayayay, too late. We had some crazy thunderstorm shaking on our roof, was a little distracted, all passed now
Congrats to the new owner.
I'm sure this is gonna be a super unique collectible for a lifetime.

Nice coin. One thing to note, it's the DIY coin that smoothie was giving away in 2017. GL with the auction, but I doubt you have a realistic idea with your starting bid.
As a kind of new account I'd also suggest you offer the option to use a trusted escrow.

Nice CI collection here.

Seek4er did a great job with providing info on these rarities.

The Factom coin was sold via exclusively via twitter if I remember correctly. Cannot find any posts about it though.
It is also briefly mentioned in the official CI info thread here (page 2) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1539742.0
Maybe snarfbag has more info on it.

384  Local / Presse / Re: Bitcoin-Kurs dank KI auf 750.000 US-Dollar – Krypto-Experte rechnet vor on: July 10, 2023, 02:53:34 PM
$69 USD oder $5000000 BTC Kurs hin oder her - ich finde die Idee, dass KI Zugriff und Anwendung von Cryptowährungen finden kann, und wahrscheinlich auch wird, faszinierend.
Man stelle sich einen selbstständig erstellten Online-Service (welcher Art auch immer) vor, der auf einem typischen Abo-Zahlungsmodell basiert - aber eben nur Bitcoin akzeptiert.

Somit würde es erstmals in der Geschichte der Menschheit eine Entität abseits des Menschen geben, die Geld und somit direkt Macht/Einfluss auf das Weltwirtschaftsgeschehen besitzt.
Gruslig aber auch spannend. Und, wie ich finde, alles andere als unwahrscheinlich, so absurd es auch klingen mag.

Und nochmal bzgl der OP Meldung: Klar sollte eine weitere Adoptionsquelle wie KI eher positive Auswirkung auf den Kurs haben. Konkrete Zahlen sind dann eher Kaffeesatzlesen.
385  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: NFT Idea: Prove Funds to Mint on: July 10, 2023, 02:19:45 PM
so here's an idea:
I have an idea for an NFT collection for true Bitcoin believers.
To get one of these NFTs, you need to prove that you have been keeping 1000 BTC in your wallet for the last 6 months.
This will be verified by you signing a message with your private key and sending it to a smart contract.

Why would someone buy this?
People who see your NFT will know that you're hodling a lot of Bitcoins.
You get access to a community of other whales.

So what does everyone think? Is it a dumb idea or should we make it happen?

If for some insane reason you want to show off your (currently) $30000000 USD, just post your signed message of your wallet address holding said 1k BTC. No need to wrap that into an NFT or some other bullshit-token.

+1

Prove of funds can indeed make some sort of sense for an institution or maybe an individual in certain business related cases to prove liquidity. But again, this step to the Ethereum network is just 100% redundant.
386  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2023-06-02] Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's Largest Crypto Exchange, Receives License on: July 10, 2023, 02:14:30 PM
Getting officially licensed is, on the one hand, always a good step - it means there is some clarity in regards of legislation for crypto.
On the other hand I wish there was a way to make more people aware of DEX alternatives. Right now I think there is a lack of knowledge regarding the fact that there are independent solutions that don't need another centralized middleman.

That said, this license will provide at least some sort of security for customers having funds on mercado exchange. I'd still strongly advice against keeping any assets on any kind of exchange for longer than what's needed to make a trade.
387  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Topic for discussion - 5BTC HOLO 2012 - Unloaded on: July 10, 2023, 02:06:04 PM
Rare piece of Bitcoin history. Personally I prefere to see the hologram as intact as possible even on peeled items.
Any plans on going on auction with this one? Watching...

Thanks again for a free raffle. Never had any of those cards in my hand - how do you even weigh 1/1000 oz of gold, lol?
Great to see such a variety of free raffle prizes, keep it up.

Thanks for the info, ChiBi.
Sucks to hear it but the more people know about it the better. If LC and you confirm this incident Sol Noctis coins can be considered compromised indeed. - For that reason would appreciate if you can check the story and report back here then.
In any case, enjoy a great Sunday evening!
391  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2023-06-30] Barrons: Bitcoin Drops After Report SEC Says BlackRock Spot Bitcoin on: July 08, 2023, 06:08:31 PM
Looks like the reports of the reason for rejection being trivial are right, as BlackRock has already re-filed their application as reported by CNBC (video):
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/07/05/blackrock-refiles-spot-bitcoin-etf-binance-us-market-share-crypto-world.html
I hear almost 100% of their past ETF application received approval, so things are looking quite good. Lets see how will this one pan out.
Let's see where this goes. Yes, exciting on the one hand, on the other hand if it really does get approved it is just another brick in the massive building that defines Bitcoin's future.
Suprised they would mess up such a tiny detail on their first submission, but oh well, not much harm done I guess (except for some funds burned in the process).
392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin history on: July 08, 2023, 05:49:26 PM
It was developed by new modern technology thinkers with P2P clue,
Point of correction, we do not know if Satoshi Nakamoto is a man, woman or a group which is the main point that people needs to let others know, but according to what you said in your post, it will make people to be confused that bitcoin was created by a group of people which means Satoshi is known or known to be a group. No one knows who Satoshi is.

[...]

That is correct. However we can read every post Satoshi made on the topic of Bitcoin. Actually it's all archived in this forum!
Check this profile to read up on it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

@OP, your post seems kinda random. If you want a deep dive into Bitcoin history, just check Satoshis profile I have linked to above and read some of his posts. Have fun.
393  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [RAFFLE] Diario el Salvador - BITCOIN DAY - 12 slots on: July 08, 2023, 05:45:09 PM
Is this a well known Bitcoin-collectible newspaper? Not familiar with it, can you elaborate a little bit because I cannot read the date of release on the photo you posted. Thank you.
Did you intend for this raffel to have only 12 instead of the usual 16 slots (HEX)?
394  Economy / Collectibles / Re: SALE: LuckyFool Physical BTC release Series #2 / UPDATE on: July 08, 2023, 12:15:05 AM
Just jumping in real quick, recently got my hands on my purchased coins - these are great looking ones.
Especially the side with the hologram is of my taste. And the finish is almost mirror-ish.

For anyone looking for an affordable funded Bitcoin collectible: These coins are probably some of the most inexpensive ones out there and of great quality.
Get them now, not much you can do wrong for 30 bucks here.
Just noticed they are sold out but OP not updated yet!
395  Economy / Collectibles / Re: WTS 2023 Caribbean Treasures Fully Funded 10,000 Satoshi Brass Rounds on: July 08, 2023, 12:05:34 AM
Thank you for the detailed explanations.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear regarding key generation and the key-prints.

10k sats is insanely low (just checked, $3 at the moment of writing if I got all the zeros right in my calculations) but it still is *some* reasonable value. And I exactly love the idea you also described: to stack them for 5 or better 10+ years because of this.
That's why good quality keys are even more important.

Please put me on the list for one roll/bag of 10 for now.
I am not US based, so would ask to ship to MJ - can I choose a state marking? Maybe of one of the US states I already visited on vacation that I loved. Or does it have to be MJs location's state?
396  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Upcoming Release Soon!!! on: July 07, 2023, 11:58:45 PM
Any estimate on what you want to charge for these?

I saw the pics first and thought "oh nice, some cute silver bars incoming".
Just now, a few hours later I took a closer look. ONE GRAM?!?! - Haha, that's just awesome, crazy and cute at the same time.
If affordable, please count me in for a bunch (bars and coins).

Will they get a running serial - any idea on what the mintage is gonna be?
397  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Replacement for POW on: July 07, 2023, 11:51:03 PM
Dragging up this thread. eth is discussing staking at 2048 coins not 32

https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/06/19/ethereum-developers-propose-raising-validator-limit-to-2048-ether-from-32-ether/


and that is why POS is piece of shit

the very idea they have the balls to talk about doing that shows how fucked up staking can be.
32 ETH was already quite the chunck - at the time much more than what was required to get into Bitcoin mining. This 64x proposal is just disgusting. Even the thought of it.
It clearly brings EXTREME centralisation issues, every staking node would cost millions. And only the really rich can get richer and more powerful. - The opposite of a true cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is clearly moving into a terrible direction. The POS experiment may be interesting, but I'm just glad it happened on another huge chain that's not Bitcoin.
398  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: info about Ian Colman mnemonic on: July 07, 2023, 11:39:27 PM
I don't see why the number generated would be more likely to be cracked when the seed phrase has the same chance of being guessed.
Because the number is being generated by different processes using different entropy sources. If your entropy source is poor, then your number won't be completely random.

If I put the seed phrase in any other wallet, it will generate the exact same addresses in the same order with the same private keys.
This is a completely separate (and completely trivial) function to generating the seed phrase in the first place.

I don't understand why you are arguing about this, especially when it is clear you do not understand the basics. Javascript key generators are insecure. There are plenty of easy to use alternatives already suggested. Electrum, for example, is already bundled with Tails, so is trivial to use since you are planning to use Tails anyway. As I said above, you seem very keen to use an insecure javascript generator and there is nothing we can do to stop you, other than warn you of the risk.

That's interesting, so is this the issue with javascript based key generators: They use a library which does not generate sufficient entropy to have good enough randomness? Or are are there other concerns regarding JS?
Shouldn't there be a selection of RNGs available for javascript by now? Just wondering, seems a little odd to have such a massively used language without providing a secure RNG solution.

Nette Geschichte. Ich denke das ist hauptsächlich ein marketig gag.
Vom Prinzip her finde ich es aber gut. Da gibt es wohl eine ganze Menge Möglichkeiten, wie man die Abwärme bei großen Betrieben eventuell zurück in Energie verwandeln könnte. Natürlich ist die Frage wie groß der Wirkungsgrad hier ist, aber da gäbe es sicherlich Ansätze.

Bzgl. Mining in New York. Ich kenne mich da jetzt nicht speziell aus, würde mich aber wundern, wenn die besonder günstigen Strom haben. Allein deshalb schließe ich erstmal auf ein Unternehmen das eventuell Hobby mit Geschäft in geschickter Weise verbunden hat.

Pretty cool. Looks like fun and I like the idea of an affordable low denomination coin.
I probably wanna reserve one roll. Any estimate which mintage range you are aiming for?

And a follow up question, how are you handling priv-key generation and what material is used for printing and paper?
