I want to do things like start/stop Bitcoin Core with CLI. Allow me to quote from your other topic: I want to contribute to the network and I read that running a full node is how I can do that. Somehow I get the feeling you're making it unnecessarily difficult on yourself. If you're using a Windows computer, and that's me assuming you use a desktop, why would you want to use the CLI? I get it if you'd use a server, but that doesn't sound very likely considering you're using an external hard drive. Just start Bitcoin Core, and keep it on  |

I can just transfer the files from my external when I get a new internal hard drive right? Yes. Depending on your needs, you can just prune the blockchain and use your internal storage already. |

If you invest in Bitcoin, own your private keys, you will only have to pay tax if you sell your bitcoin with profit (higher value than your entry price). If you hold it, no tax or am I wrong? It varies per country. Here, capital gains are tax free, but we pay an annual wealth tax instead. I am not an expert in accounting and did not read all the application, but looks like the tax has a chance to be 21%, lower than 30%. Is it what you implied? Here, we can only dream about 30% tax, let alone 21%! |

I downloaded the crystaldiskinfo, but would this be something I should run while reindexing? I don't know "crystaldiskinfo" (and I wouldn't just install any software), but in general, I wouldn't run disk checking software while the disk is busy. Then again, if you suspect the disk is faulty, it's better to rule it out before continuing.
I wouldn't recommend to use an external drive for anything that's supposed to be accessible all the time. It's so easy to accidentally unplug them. |

the tag of "the future of bitcointalk" might be misleading. There's no telling if any low-ranked, highly-merited member is going to stick around for the long term. Obviously, the tag doesn't apply to all listed users. But it's the best indication I have, and users without Merit certainly won't become the future of this forum. It would be interesting to revisit these members who've made it into this thread in about 5 years to see if they were indeed the future of the forum. There's no need to wait that long, this topic is almost 4 years old. Just check which names on the first page you recognize: They're all Legendary now. |

Are there any mixers for other coins than Bitcoin, for example BCH? I've seen mixers for altcoins in the past, but can't tell you if they're reliable. BCH also has has " CashFusion" built into it's Electrum fork. |

I can think of a reason: an ETF would allow me to save Bitcoin for retirement with tax benefits. The idea is not good at start. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency give us control on our coins and tokens with private keys I can (obviously) keep my own private keys, but that doesn't get me the tax benefits. Short version: where I live, if you jump through the right hoops to save for your retirement, it's tax deductable. That means you get up to ~50% back from taxes. By the time you retire, your pension income is taxed, but the assumption is you'll pay a lower percentage by then. The big savings are in the reduced wealth tax: we pay ~2% each year on investments. If you still have a few decades to go before you retire, you lose about half your money to taxes. You can prevent that if you jump through the right tax hoops. People who want to use Bitcoin ETFs and other cryptocurrency ETFs will not actually own any coin or token, and if those companies do shady things, those people will gain nothing in their hands eventually. Not only tax but also with a bigger risk, losing all their money to ETFs. The same applies to any stock market: people are totally used to paying a broker to keep their shares, and the stock market is a lot bigger than Bitcoin. It's a good reason to diversify though, so at least you won't lose everything in case one of them loses everything. |

Are you sure it will have big impacts and able to attract new big capital flows into this market? I can think of a reason: an ETF would allow me to save Bitcoin for retirement with tax benefits. The downside is that I'd have to trust the ETF for several decades and pay fund costs, but (at least where I live) the tax benefits are substantial in the long run. Considering the long term trust involved, I'd prefer a company like Vanguard over BlackRock. |

If it's an inside job at one of the three companies, they only need a shard from one other company. That's a very low bar to clear. Potential scammers can apply at ledger.com/jobs  |

Well, there was no way of accessing sensitive data on the secure element chips either. They have been telling us for years that it's impossible. Turns out, it's quite possible if they integrate the right code. Hardware wallets, like mixers, are in what I like to call "the trust business". They should never lie, because if they lie once about something you can verify, you should assume they also lie about things you can't verify. So basically, this should be the end of Ledger. If nobody buys anything from them ever again, that would be the best way to punish them and deter other hardware wallet manufacturers from doing the same. But we don't live in a perfect world, so they'll probably just get away with it. Again. |

Update:Starting point to avoid loading the large index page: Trust list for: AbuBhakar (Trust: neutral) (163 Merit earned) (Trust list) (BPIP). New and wiped Trust lists created in past week:
My total Trust data now fills 82 GB, and grows by 366 MB per week. If only I knew how to use databases, this could have been 99.9% less.

Did some people actually defending the lack of extra security for their account? I mean why? if they don't want it they can just turn it off, but it always good to have an option. More and more of my internet accounts require 2FA nowadays, and most of them don't allow me to turn it off. It's mainly needed because of the people who don't use proper passwords, share them everywhere, and have a system filled with malware. Those same websites nowadays run a timer to kick you out after a few minutes of inactivity, which makes it even more annoying. To me, 2FA is just a hassle. I have old Gmail accounts that don't let me login with my password anymore.This makes me truely appreciate the old fashed forums that just keep me logged in for years. A browser cookie is very convenient. That being said: as long as it's optional, I'm not against it. But would it really help if someone gains physical access to my mobile phone? I don't want to lose the convenience of being logged in when I use it.
Google Authenticator just told me I can now backup my 2FA codes in the cloud. Lol. |
