One thing that could be (but I may be totally off) may be an IP address problem.

For example my bitcoin.conf contains


and I've read that


That same page also tells about "strict memory requirements" which may or may not be a problem.

If you have your own wallet with your own keys (so not a custodial service), the coins will not be "in China"; they'll be on the blockchain waiting for you to spend from wherever you are, by signing the spending transaction.

My all time favorite comes from Satoshi. The others are nice, but imho they cannot compare with Satoshi himself.

I don't agree, sorry. But I'm open to getting convinced (with good arguments) if I'm wrong.

I will give another (maybe unlikely, I don't know) example: user1 is DT (I emphasize this because most don't care at all about non-DT feedback). For some reasons he decides he doesn't trust user2, but he doesn't have good enough proof for his decision. A neutral, but bad review, can make careful enough users double check everything, without triggering drama and the need of explaining his feedback.

How about this? Is it an abuse, or will the red feedback be an abuse? Imho it's greatly debatable, hence I would not consider such a case an abuse.
I will add though that in my case the wording would not so hard like "has repeatedly demonstrated that"; your case could ask for proof, hence actual negative; my example would be a tad "softer".

If you are so keen to find updates for those apps you have to open LL often enough and it will tell you if updates are available for what's installed on your device.
The updates are not done because some time has passed since the previous update, they're done because, for some reason, changes are needed.

And if you want to see what changes are done, you can visit page like this one I've found for Ledger's Bitcoin app: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md
You will see the reasons for the various updates.

For example LL is trying to push now Bitcoin 2.0.4 in my case, although 2.0.5 is also done and will probably start to get pushed in the near future (and I will wait for that one).

I think that you are somewhat off reality. The vast majority of people don't understand nor trust Bitcoin. The vast majority of people find difficult to use bitcoin. The vast majority of the world is.. not bitcointalk; we're a minority.
This being said, expecting 50% is unrealistic. I'd guess that the pretty high 20% covers those who invest/use bitcoin, it covers the businesses that must accept bitcoin (although most will convert instantly to USD) and it also may cover those who have used the wallet only for the free money and didn't uninstall it yet (for laziness, for not knowing how to do that, or - very few - just in case, because they may need it someday). So yeah, 20% is still overly high.

How to get to 50%? Wait 10 more years, maybe. Maybe more. Some older people will die, some younger people will get to use money, worldwide acceptance will rise... all goes in that direction.

I read it as: mempool already has a valid tx spending the same inputs and that doesn't allow to be replaced. This means a conflict and your new tx is rejected.
It's a fun experiment. And indeed, the outcome is 100% expected. I would have been expecting though that you'd do such experiment(s) on testnet, not on main.

As said, since the list of people having access to all the resources of interest is probably small and since this is legally seen as theft, you'll probably get into trouble, no matter how good the VPN will hide some of your tracks.
(Also, as said, with your VPN, you may have a better chance to lock the account until she answers to some more KYC questions than actually withdrawing the funds.)

I will add to the list that accepting crypto can also:
* need some knowledge/learning curve, since most payment processors ask for high fees and/or KYC, hence one may have to install a local solution (like BTCPay); properly securing the wallet/funds is another important topic
* handling crypto in accountancy may not be straightforward

So while I do welcome the idea, unfortunately it's not "easy-peasy" to do this.

Start Electrum, create a new wallet, write down the seed and one address from the addresses tab and there you are. If you do this on a safe environment (like Tails already described) it's the best paper wallet you can get, much better than those you've been using in the past.

I mean that the feature is not lost, it's actually improved.


I don't know what those "names" are, probably some altcoins; I am sure you can do something similar from those coins' wallets too, maybe saving/writing (the ugly) private key and address. It's not as nice and easy as the online tools, but you have a better chance to not lose your funds by theft from the owners of those nice online tools...

Yes, you can. But I think that @AnotherAlt is not knowledgeable enough for this (no offense!) and, even more, this may confuse him. So I'll simplify it:
it's an interesting example, which shows that Tor browser is not "a browser from hell", it's just a normal browser that can set up a little more things (which advanced users can pretty much do themselves for any browser!) so anybody can visit darknet/onion sites easily.

We can speculate, but we don't know. Unless you know a time traveler from the future, we don't have a definite answer.
However, getting to rely solely on tx fees happens gradually, which each new halving, so we can try to get an idea. On the other hand, the final step will be far in the future, hence you should not be that much concerned.

For now the things go well, so there's nothing to fix/mitigate. I hope that you agree on that.
Then yes, if it gets unprofitable, some miners will be stopped. It has happened before. The network does adjust in such cases and the mining will be more profitable for the rest.
Keep in mind that there are already miners that run using electricity they produce. This (after all the equipment is paid for) means pure profit, something that may work just fine even if the tx fees remain small. Then the others will turn off, these businesses will prevail, keeping Bitcoin network running.
Then, as already said, I expect that some entities that use Bitcoin as reserve asset (now big companies, in the future maybe countries too) will also mine Bitcoin, not for profit, instead simply to do their part in securing the network.

I will end with the price. Its evolution is hard to predict on short term, but on long term, with increased adoption, it should get much higher. Of course, the profitability for the miners also depends on how many they are (how big the difficulty is), but until now, in most cases, the price kept staying high enough to cover the mining costs.

So, at least in theory, the things don't look bad. And since the real problems (if they will exist) will probably not happen during my (or your) lifetime... let's just chill  

The dangers on darknet are in most cases exactly the same as on clearnet. If you download and run all the things, you'll get - sooner or later - malware.
So you have to be careful with that in both "worlds" the same.

Let me say a bit more: Tor browser is basically a Firefox. If you download the official one, the browser alone won't do harm.
If you visit only the ChipMixer onion website there's nothing you have to download and run from there, so your system will be fine.

When she will find out the money is missing and complain, they will investigate. No matter you have "all the access" and what's the story you have, it's still stealing now, and that's going to be investigated.
And, for example if the account has 2FA, it will not be difficult to narrow it down to you. But there can be plenty of small things that can give you in. As said, it would be more normal to ask nicely.

Welcome back. I hope all is good now, or at least better.

(Message is verified too.)

You have to provide evidence that cannot be faked. I hope that we agree on that.
On the other hand, if you provide evidence that can be manipulated/faked, people will judge by their beliefs and your trustworthiness.


But until now you've just thrown words, and all you've proven was that these guy's point against you is valid. You've said


but we both know that those "resolved cases" are not real and all the words and evidence there can be (and most probably is) faked.

1. You are trying to address a non-problem (the "bitcoin uses too much energy" drama is based on a lie)
2. Since you cannot force the miner do this or that, imho this cannot work. I mean, let's say they gracefully ignore your flag; what will you do then, sue them?

I think that some do keep the old signature for proving some sort of "status", i.e. that they were accepted to campaigns.
Or some may keep signature in order to "fool" people that they are any good, by showing that they're somewhat trusted by the campaign manager (I don't know how to explain it well), without realizing that one can do quality posts even if he's not member of any campaign.

Maybe I didn't explain well, but the point is that it can also be seen not as carelessness, instead as somehow trying to pretend he's more than he is.

I do like it, although for now preev still wins (sorry) because at least it has more fiat currencies. Yes, I know that you'll add those, it'll be a great step forward.

Although I use it rarely, I'd love to see something like https://thecryptocoinconverter.com/ which actually works (I've just looked up there a conversion from an altcoin to my local currency and it was awfully off), maybe you consider it as a second project or an extension.

But back to this actual project:
* it could be useful to update price from time to time automatically without the need for refresh
* it could be useful to put the price in page title

However, great job!

While you're right with "IDK why it is still here on the forum", you're wrong with blaming them for what has happened to you. Look closer and you'll see that it was your own fault to not read all the red warnings around that campaign.
Yes, I know, you can tell that I expect too much from a Sr. Member. But you're here since 2017, or at least the account is. You had to learn the proper ways at some point...
