if your accusations are not proven then it is defamation and you should apologize to me and 10 negative tags because you abused your DT power
That's not how the Trust system is supposed to be used. If you don't value someone's Trust feedback, exclude them from your Trust list.



After quickly checking your post history, I agree with the comments that you seem to care more about the forum's inner workings than about Bitcoin. That's totally fine, but indeed makes you look like someone's alt account. I wouldn't leave neutral feedback for that, but I don't mind either.
3802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is the logic reason behind legacy/segwit wallet address not sending Bitcoin on: July 06, 2023, 03:29:57 PM
According to what I read, the coin is not just pegged in price, but collateralized, they bought bitcoin for it and they have it in their reserve. They reserve and mint the token which are altcoins. If they buy bitcoin and mint the same amount of token, that will increase bitcoin price and marketcap appropriately.
Like I said, they're double counting: the same Bitcoin is counted as "crypto market cap" twice.

But the problem is that many people do not know the main bitcoin from the fake ones on Binance and many other exchanges
It's the modern equivalent of "paper gold":
Quote
Paper gold can be described as an asset that reflects the price of gold but is not gold. It's not backed with real metal, so it's just on paper. Owning paper gold allows you to participate in the market value of gold without owning physical gold.
3803  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is the logic reason behind legacy/segwit wallet address not sending Bitcoin on: July 06, 2023, 01:19:53 PM
The withdrawal fee for all the bitcoin addresses are the same on Binance. Not the altcoins like ERC20, BEP20 and BEP2.
Ignoring their scam chains
This can't be emphasized enough!

Quote
Fees this high are to prevent people from withdrawing coins and therefore let Binance continue to run their fractional reserve scam.
Their made-up "wrapped" tokens even get "market cap" and with that, pretend Bitcoin's market cap is lower than it actually is. What if I take 1 Bitcoin and wrap it 1 billion times? My market cap will be $30 trillion!

My advice: avoid any exchange that feels the need to create their own "token" to increase their own profit. Just like you should avoid any exchange that overcharges you on withdrawals.

Running the same software is not a problem, as long as the consensus rules that this software are decentralized.
Agreed. If we couldn't trust Bitcoin Core, we'd have bigger problems to worry about. And even if the developers ever go evil and add bad stuff, we'll just stick to the older version and go from there.

3807  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Recurring payments in Bitcoin wallets using timelocked transactions. on: July 05, 2023, 01:23:28 PM
The biggest issue here (aside from not being able to access your money if you need it) is if a private key is leaked or compromised, you cannot move the funds to safety. You simply have to wait until the timelock expires and hope that your transaction beats the transaction belonging to the attacker. It also involves backing up and passing on both your private key and your redeem script, which is obviously more complex and more prone to error than a seed phrase.
Let's say it was hypothetical. I wasn't going to do it (and I lack the 100 Bitcoin needed for it), but if you'd do something like this, it shouldn't be for your entire fortune. As a billionaire it wouldn't hurt to make a name for yourself for the coming 1000 years by investing a couple million bucks now.
You can opt to use more smaller amounts further in the future, so more decendents can each get a small part from their parents. Each parent down the line then has to distribute a pile of paperwork to their children, who do the same to theirs.

It's also an interesting way to temporarily reduce the number of Bitcoins in circulation.

It's not a secret the server is sponsored, that's where the help came from.

Litespeed should still be able to filter out bad traffic, or rate limit traffic. I could be wrong but I have seen it used to mitigate both basic and advanced attacks before. It just depends on configuration.
I don't want to challenge any trolls, but the current solution should suffice. I'm amazed at the tricks AWS can pull Cheesy

Is there no possibility to build a function that could "rescan" from a set date, e.g from first attack til now?
Not really: I'd have to check all recent topics for activity, which would be more work than it's worth.
3810  Other / Meta / Re: Know who ignores who on: July 05, 2023, 09:05:02 AM
I don't know how it works, talking about the ignore and unignore issue
Just try it. Click Ignore, after that the button toggles to Unignore. Or Show/Hide (this one doesn't work well on my mobile). There's no permanent change if you don't want it.
3811  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Recurring payments in Bitcoin wallets using timelocked transactions. on: July 05, 2023, 08:49:28 AM
if you need your wallet to recreate the transaction chain on a weekly basis to get the most appropriate fee, then why do you need timelocks at all? Why not just have your wallet create a single transaction each week with an appropriate fee?
I was thinking the same thing. If you need to adjust a wallet anyway, it can just as well automate the payments. That would require a part of your funds to be accessible without entering a password.
With some scripting, you can already setup automated payments in Bitcoin Core (that's what many Bitcoin services do). But I wouldn't set it up months ahead.

Usually, recurring payments are for a certain amount in dollars, so a pre-determined Bitcoin amount won't work. Long-term, when Bitcoin goes up or down a lot, you'll end up paying a small fortune or nothing for your weekly magazine subscription.



The guy who put $15k in Bitcoin in a 125 year timelock got me thinking: this would be the first time you can distribute wealth to your descendant far down the line, without trusting third parties. Of course, this requires you to be wealthy enough in the first place, but if you are, how cool would it be to leave a legacy of 1BTC becoming available every 10 years for the next 1000 years? If Bitcoin gets big, it will be your family's fortune guarded by generations.



I'm now curious how this would work in countries with a wealth tax. Would you still pay annual tax on money you can't access for decades?
3812  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are bitcoin mixers often accused of laundering money? on: July 05, 2023, 07:54:01 AM
how to prevent the use of bitcoin as a means of money laundering?
That's like asking how to prevent knives and guns from being used for crimes, or cars being used as getaway vehicles. You can't prevent everything. Just like you can't prevent money laundering happening with cash money.

Quote
I think this is a problem, and cases of money laundering using bitcoin make bitcoin's image even worse.
You'll have to ask yourself who has an interest in hurting Bitcoin's image.

You simply cant. A neutral tool will always be used both for good purposes and for bad purposes. Just like how you can't 100% force people to not use knives to stab people, and how you can't 100% force people to not use the internet to scam people.

Is it possible to add to the column that contains weekly information about the user, another parameter such as (number of merits per week).
Sure, I can fit that in. It's easiest if I use the Dutch time zone (that's what my scraper uses), so each week will be 1 or 2 hours off from your week. Is that okay?

3818  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: List of VPN Service Providers - 2023 on: July 04, 2023, 03:18:32 PM
Who else uses port forwarding though, besides Bittorrent users?

Obviously not Bitcoin Core clients, because you shouldn't be running it through a VPN anyway, but rather through Tor.
Tor doesn't really work if you quickly want to download a few (Fork) chains. I've used a VPN for this, but didn't need port forwarding. If you'd like to be an uploading node, a VPN with port forwarding contributes much more than a Tor node. I prefer a server for that though.

The fact that we're at the point where you have to use VPNs to access region-locked content on streaming platforms[1] shows that the whole business model of that industry is broken and makes for a very frustrating experience for users.
You are right! There is no point to block content in certain countries if you can legally use VPN and stream whatever you want. It makes me to believe that there is a space created intentionally to milk some additional money. It's a problem if you use VPN to buy cheap Turkish subscription but it's okay if you buy American or EU expensive one Cheesy
Of course region locks are designed for profit maximization. You can't really blame them: if Americans can afford $10 and Turks $1, it's worth allowing the Turks as long as it pays for hosting plus some profit. But if they'd charge Americans $1 too, they wouldn't have enough budget to run their company.
But you also can't really blame the users when they use a VPN.

Used to be more stable. Why is there more movement?
It's random, and varies more once more people qualify for DT1.

Quote
Btw I like the idea that out of seven months I am on for 4 and off for 3.

It disempowers dt1 a bit by having this movement vs a year straight on dt1.
It doesn't matter much. Most users remain on DT2 when they're off DT1, but the main change is users with only one DT1-inclusion: they actually leave DT once their "sponsor" is off DT1.

You can add Thormixer to the list of taint proclaiming services:
The platform runs a scoring procedure for each incoming coin so to check its reliability and purchase it for its reserves. The service liaises with crypto stock exchanges and controls the money inflow around the clock – if the algorithm detects a shortfall it blasts notification messages to investors and quickly tops up the reserves. Coins with dark history are never let in.
