They do at least allow hardware wallets to connect to the site (on desktop) which is good.

I agree it's a shame there's no full node version afaik...

The wallet you use can certainly get your ip but all your isp will know is thst you've connected to that wallet and not the actual address you've looked up/sent to.

No it wasn't but it is an interesting idea. Originally hand implants for security systems came here a long time ago generally:
Temp workers have key cards that can be disabled (temp is anything under 3 years imo)
Indefinite workers could opt between the two in companies that have them
and high up workers you don't want to lock out have keys...

There are problems with who you give keys to or chips as both can be copied - I heard a story of my old school accidentally printing keys to secure facilities such as server rooms and transformers to visitor cards...

And yeah unless you have a relay back to the phone I'm not sure it'd be very secure - or entered some sort of htlc where 0you verify your identity at the PoS and then pay them later.


My watches only last 3-5 years, I'd want a smart watch to last longer...

I can't find the nfc wallet but I did see the bitcoinwallet for android by Andreas schildbach had pay to Bluetooth functions (from what I could tell). Bluetooth may be unencrypted though - not sure...

I've just thought now that contactless cards use a type of nfc to communicate with the card reader (it may be rfid I don't know) anyway are there any wallets that have attempted it with bitcoin? The idea being you'd place the phone near a flat plate and it'd communicant the transaction to your device and show you the preview window for you to confirm or deny the transaction being spent...

I don't know how well qr codes do with this sort of stuff or if it's too early to look into this sort of thing but I think it'd be more secure and easier to use (qr codes need to focus and if you have them on a screen defects with either your camera or the screen can add lines across the whole thing - often meaning the phone ignores the barcode).

Yeah there's probably a point where you should give up with a piece of software that handles funds or patch it with another wallet to ensure funds are still accessible if yours fails.

With the recent updates that have been reported it looks like they're trying to fix stuff but it'll probably take them along time unless they can translate the android versions. I think a few other wallets like multiibit had a similar fate where the developers just gave up on it after it had too many bugs...

We price in a recession for years after its happened. The extent of the financial crisis can still be felt by some and by the wider economy afaik.

It might take up to 3 years to fully determine the immediate costs of the pandemic. A large percentage of the population have no savings and will be dealt an immediate blow, potentially around 20% will be able to cover expenses for a year and may keep spending as they normally do in the assumption they get a job by next year (and a majority may do) but the minority of everyone might see a large impact. Although a lot of the time, crashes and recessions hit the poorest in society and theyre not normally reflected on. It'd be interesting if some picture were drawn up once we're back into the boom after this (in around 5 years potentially) of what individuals pf every skillet and job/social class was analysed.

I'm a victim of being able to predict $10-30 moves, trouble is $10 moves are useless with bitcoin as you always get swamped by the fees...


Anacdotally for me, an external manipulation factor (either a person or a change of fundamentals) normally peaks the volume at the same time the price moves, this has often been a second long candle that pumps a coin really hard.

The loss between Germany:UK is kinda interesting... Germany faced a higher fall somehow, potentially due to aviation and automobile industries but it still looks like a weird divergence..

No, wallet addresses are publicly known information. Unless you have your wallet file then you won't be able to recover your funds unless you have the seed.

You've not given us much here on it, why?

And some Russians being annoyed with someone plugging security flaws is almost cliche, if I were doing a project to find security flaws I'd be happy with everyone I manage to piss off along the way...

At the same time. Though, why would a project like that be closed source? Close source projects that claim to seek public good give off a weird vibe.

Ahh so did you write down/screenshot or backup your SEED nmemonic?

If you haven't then your funds might be irrecoverable. If you have but you've just got a few words wrong o in the wrong order then the problem may be easy to solve.

Yeah it was the mitm attacks that meant ip was removed from being a viable option...

Unnecessary history: I think public keys were original choice of payment but they were also phased out like ip due to reducing potential bruteforce attacks - I think it added security by redundancy hashing the public key.

I do this, it's quite nice how it works out but they should get a bybit style order screen.

The insufficient balance was that caused by a market buy? I get that a lot of the time when doing that and I just reduce the call by 1.

I don't normally trade with newbies and I normally forget to ask for the source of the funds lol.

It's generally good etiquette to tell someone if your funds have come through a mixer or from a gray source and it's good on the other side to ensure you're paid to a wallet or a dex that can't have muted transactions so it's why I don't normally bother. In the real world, you can do cash trades for items up to £5k+ without even getting someone's name/history on the item so I don't feel a legal obligation to obtain one here.

There is a legal stipulation from exchanges that you shouldn't pay in funds that aren't yours and in a lot of countries its a legal thing - its even a legal requirement in the UK unless you're dealing directly with a government's investment.

Do you actually know how old this is though, when did you get it? I mean it's clearly fake as a bitcoin wallet and as dave says you need a transaction to propagate for it to be legit.

You can't mine a block, keep it to yourself and expect the reward, stuff just doesn't work that way.

---

@dave I don't think it's much of a sophisticated edit to change the addresses, the transaction stuff could be more advanced or it could just be testnet edited to show something else (all gui stuff) ...

Yeah 2019 was pretty recent too if you did mine them surely you'd remember what you were dojng or would've started fiddling with stuff if they were indeed yours.

I doubt v0.9 is compatible with the current blockchain and if it is it'll be slower than the more recent versions.

All I can find is this: https://card.binance.com/en

Not sure if it's been released yet. Coinbase charged 4.99 eur/gbp for the card and 2.5% rates and I think a lot of other places did similar - ecoin when it existed and crypto.com now)?

It's probably a bug with blockchain.com. I don't think it's possible to change the data a transaction has been made without resigning it and the default for a lot of wallets is using the current block height rather than the date.

I'd say protbaly abywherr beyond a week, but the longer you wait the better your security will be...

And if your wallet has coin control features and you don't need to consolidate, it might not merge them - if privacy is preferred in the configuration.

Did you enable replace by fee? If so can you not just bump the fee you added to it.

It's made quite difficult to double spend a transaction in electrum, after a day it forgot mine so you could wait for that but I haven't heard a confirmation from anyone that's actually a thing and not just a quirk with my wallet.

Can you not just search up the answers you want or ask them here? Bitcoin stackexchsnge, this forum and the bitcoin wiki are good places to get reliable answers along with reddit probably too...
