Strikethrough or cross-out is used from some reasons and purposes.
- Don't want to delete original contents. There are drama sometimes why did you edit your posts and erased original content. - Want to discuss (agree or disagree) or give some more details after soneone ask for. Example. After I release this post, minutes later someone else ask me something, I can go back to this post, edit it and reply that answer. - Some boards are not allowed people to delete post within 24 hours (Services and more). As a result of that, people have to strikethrough or cross-out original contents. They might or might not come back and delete that post later. If they remember, they will delete it, if not is is not bad and nothing is wrong.

Bitcoin was born to control our own banks and protect our privacy when we move our funds. There are some ways to increase your transaction privacy: - Use change address in non-custodial wallets - Use Coin Join transactions - Use reliable mixing service like Chip Mixer - Use some good altcoins with the suggested topic from theymos. Everything need to be practice before you can make it correct. In this case, make it correct to increase your privacy. There are two explorers that you can use to check privacy of your transactions and from results you can think of other ways and improvements to make your transactions more private. - Blockchair.com (type hash of your transaction at the end of the link) - Blockstream.info (type hash of your transaction at the end of the link) You can check this transaction: 8d49f7e2156da6b2dfb5e0e9e86c8d878c96a0dd4674c64dea37c748a37aac63 They have documents: - Blockchair.com's privacy-o-meter's document- Bitcoin privacy improves with BTCPay servers P2EP implementation (it is not a document for privacy analysis that is used on blockstream.info but you can read and get something) I often use the blockchair.com because they classify transactions into 3 groups (from privacy scores) and 4 types (from transaction types): score — transaction privacy score where 0 is the worst score, and 100 is the best score
Type code Description CB Coinbase transaction N1 Transaction with just 1 output (either a sweep to another address by the same owner, or a transfer using a "send everything I have" option) N2 Transaction with 2 outputs — most common in wallets — where one of the outputs is the recipient, and the other one is the change address NN Transaction with more than 2 outputs — most common in exchanges and services that use payout batching

Is it official news on data breach and I don't know the severity of the breach. It need more time to confirm how serious it is but what I see from the news. 1 mil. users is the number is reported but we don't know the real one, how big it is. The only one thing I see and learn from it is "Not your keys, not your bitcoin". What to do next, from now if you care about your funds and such same breach in the future (not only on Ledger but also on any other exchanges or platforms)? - Avoid KYC as much as possible: Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless- Try to use good non-custodial wallets as Electrum because you will have full control of your private keys, wallets and funds. Be your own bank this way.

What OP say is not always work. For example there is a topic " Opps, Google did it again" - where first google link lead to fake ledger app, that asked for secret phrase. Of course google fixed it, but there are people who downloaded it and got tricked. If you go to official websites to get official links to apps on app store or Google play, you will not be trapped by fake apps like what the topic you quoted warn. You should never pay your funds on the carefulness or responsibility of Google or Apple to check and 100% prevent fake apps to be listed on their stores. They should do because it is good for their app ecosystem, and their reputation but you in your own side has to be responsible for your fund's safety and security. Official websites are not a panacea against scam. Check everything two or even three times before you type your personal info in it.
Official websites are good places to start but sure official sites can also be compromised. It rarely happens but there is probability for compromise on official websites. If you care careful, you can verify apps if possible.

The best thing about Bitcoin for us is that as long as we have the private keys, we can always access our wallets. In fact, some people memorize their seed phrases and restore wallets when they want to use them. See how we responded to someone who asked if they could create a new wallet when their phone became unusable! I don't believe people can remember their wallet seeds. They can remember one day, few weeks but if they don't often login their wallets, they will forget wallet seeds. It is what happened to me. The same story for wallet passphrase. I forgot it after months did not frequently login my wallet. It happened with my blockchain.com wallet. And I learned from my loss.

It gets better: the numbers above the avatar are updated on a different moment than the numbers in the user's profile.
Update time on user's profile is nearly real time (I can call it is a real time update because if I click send merit, and visit a user's profile to check, there is 1 to few seconds to do click activity). Update time on the number above avatar is updated 1 minute each (maybe).

I earned 264 merits so that I have 132 smerit to send out but as you see, I only have 48 available smerit to send out. I sent out most of my smerit.
but why do you think that you have send out most of your available smerit, when you have 48 to send, it is something about 35% from all available, so it is not that you have send all, or rather most, it is closer to a half i did not look much on that earlier, but it is an interesting subject to see how users are sending their sMerit I sent out 63.6% of my smerit. Not close to all but more than half of all 132 smerits that I can send out. But what is wrong when I will send out more. I plan to send out more 28 smerit soon. It is a matter of time when I finish the plan.

How Bitcoin transactions work and what are their types?Bitcoin Address (Bitcoin.it/wiki)There are currently three address formats in use:
P2PKH which begin with the number 1, eg: 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2. P2SH type starting with the number 3, eg: 3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy. Bech32 type starting with bc1, eg: bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq
Example with Bitamp wallet, 1 private key and you can get 3 address types.

I don't like your post history too much but anyway you won because your applications are good enough. With a small award at 1 merit, I should not challenge you too much. By the way, congrats for you by placed Sr Member now ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thank you for your words and I appreciate your applications which looks likely good but I am sorry to not award you this time. Because I don't understand Bahasa Indonesia. This one is for English posts only. Update:14 sMerits were sent out, 28 more to go!

Sportsbet.io spend years to build up their reputation and I don't think they are stupid enough to destroy their reputation at any costs. If you know the gambling casino is a very competitive industry and nowadays it is very challenging for new casinos to get customers and fight against old and trusted casinos. Grandfather casinos have their big advantages in the industry. In addition, operating a well-known casino bring good income back for owners. It is day to day income, and a long term one.
Imagine further to good exchanges, even in bad situations their exchanges are hacked, they waives the hack and accept compensations to their customers because they will build up better reputation from such kindly, professional and generous behaviors. What they spend for compensation, they will earn back soon from operations.

I didn't ask my availabe merits, but my sMerits. I have 108 merits but this doesn't mean that I have 54 sMerits.
Hey. As I answered, click on the merit button, you will see how many smerit you have now to send to the others if you want. It is a real time available smerit. I edited my post, highlighted it. I earned 264 merits so that I have 132 smerit to send out but as you see, I only have 48 available smerit to send out. I sent out most of my smerit.

Where can I check my available sMerits?
It is easy to do, check it yourself. Click on my post (this one) or any post of the others, include yours. You will see your available merits. The future you see is a round one, if you have a half merit, it will be not reflected on that figure. But you can guess, if your total merit is an even your smerit is an even too. Only if your total merit is an odd, your smerit will be an odd. It is my merit and smerit figures. You have received a total of 264 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 48 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

just saw this on bitcoin discussion. these people sure are really persistent. @OcTradism I agree that nuking them is not enough but and I am wondering what type of precaution do you have in mind against these people?
A script to detect them and nuke them all. Automatically! As same as this one but the restriction is nuke, not temp ban. 129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.
Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.
Added to OP. Thank you.
