I also seem to be missing the point of this, hence my "answers" may not be 100% what you'd expect. Also, with the risk to offend you (I hope not, though), this topic looks somewhat like "yet another Meta stats, fishing for merit". This being said, you should expect some harsher replies. Now, if you want to say that only the merit sources that have passed away deserve a "Rest in Peace", it's imho unfair. There are many people who have left the forum - some have passed away, about many we don't know - and clearly there are more who are being missed than only the few inactive merit sources. Indeed, finding out the merit sources - especially by hand - is not an easy job, since most aren't boasting it. And only the numbers can be wrong, since it's not unexpected some (few?) merit sources don't care or have difficulties in spending the (extra) merit. It's a volunteer job (as you very well noted) hence we cannot blame them; an interesting fact is that some didn't even ask to become merit sources. (The fact that some merit sources will not tell they're merit sources is because they can become targeted by merit beggars.) I think that one point behind this topic was to make some sort of subset of this list. I think that another point behind this topic was to somehow induce that we need more merit sources - which I knew it was the case about 1-2 years ago, but right now I really don't know (I don't say it's not the case, I really don't know). But if you think that you are fit for being a merit source... nothing stops you from applying to be one and let forum admin decide (when he will approve more merit sources, which I simply don't know when will happen)

With Intel getting into building mining chips, I would not be surprised if the US miners' hash rate will keep increasing in the near future faster than in the rest of the world. Interesting enough, until now people were crying that mining was centralized in China. Now we're shifting towards centralization in US. I find it laughable...
Is this a problem? It doesn't look a problem to me. Is this centralization? Hardly, since they're private companies competing against each other.
Ah, some entities with fat fiat wallets will get a piece of the cake without caring what Bitcoin or mining actually is? Oh well.... nothing unexpected...

Are these *mistakes* what you mean by the missing 196 BTC?
Basically yes. I said "basically" because the number might be incorrect, since I've read detailed about some 2 block rewards and some miner fees missed, which clearly don't add up to 196 BTC. But when looking for the initial info I've read (I no longer know where) this twitter link was what I've found, showing... this difference. I'm using the phone now so I couldn't get more details but it's the first time I've heard of this story.
Then I won't comment yet about the badly closed quotes; I know how difficult is that on smartphone.

There is no contradiction here. I will explain with an example, imagine for a moment that some conditional country made a coup in Ireland, and then began to actively finance and supply weapons to the IRA, and cultivate hatred of Great Britain from the school bench in Ireland, releasing history books in which the British were portrayed Dirty bastards who need to be blown up, killed, and cut off their heads. Every year to hold mass demonstrations in the streets with crowds of masked militants. And to do this for 18 years, so that a whole generation of Irish people has grown up who consider the British people of the lower class. And then the leadership of Ireland would say out loud that it would be nice to get hold of a nuclear bomb. Sound wild? Meanwhile, this is exactly what happened in Ukraine.
Did Great Britain invade Ireland (or anybody) after WW2? No. Then it's not what has happened in Ukraine. Maybe in your head we are in 17th century, but no, nowadays attacking other country is not normal and no wild analogy would make them look better. ps You can ignore my messages if they seem to you a threat to your habitual patterns and stereotypes of perception.
I will mostly ignore them, but the reason is that you use the half-logic seen in any propaganda, instead of healthy logic. I will mostly ignore them because if I don't, I am just feeding the troll, hence inviting you spread more garbage. Even insulting me about stereotypes is a typical trolling method to force an answer, I know that. Or is this "stereotype" too?

21,000,000: This is the maximum amount of bitcoins ever to exist(Note that for some technical reasons there will be a few less sats than that though). You can get to this number by doing a bit of math: Each rewards era has half of the reward as before: 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, 1.5625, etc. If you sum them all up you get an infinite geometric series that can be solved and the result is 100: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F05%2F14%2Fblob1e599121077bf30c.png&t=664&c=SD1Ho9iCjp8J7Q) Each one of the 210,000 blocks of each era receive their corresponding rewards, so you can sum them all up to get the total number of bitcoins: 210,000 * 50 + 210,000 * 25, etc, which is the same as doing 210,000 * (50 + 25 + ... ), and we already know the number in parenthesis is 100. So total rewards are 210,000 * 100 = 21,000,000. It may worth mentioning that the "technical reasons" are not errors in bitcoin code, instead: * the sum/geometric series don't go to infinite, they do stop at a fixed iteration, hence it's a bit earlier than 21M * some miners did mistakes (and/or intended tests) causing some amounts of bitcoin not getting mined/lost forever (and I don't talk here about wallets with lost keys, that's a completely different story).

(although April is historically a bad month).
I think that you're remembering something wrong. March is supposed to be the historically bad month and April is good/mixed. Even more, I could say that in most of the cases, after a bad March, April was good. I've even looked up a chart for you:

Short term is lottery. We don't own a crystal ball. Also if you're interested only on short term, you're not serious about crypto, you only care to grow your fiat so you don't deserve serious answers either. ~
isn't it be main purpose why we trade in this market?, grow our money in short term or long term be common goal that must achieved by trader. we dont care what actually happen in market and to other traders. even, whales shaking market with their capability and dont care retail traders loss in their investment. Day trading is one thing. OP was asking about short term investment. Not trading (which, let's be honest, it's not for newcomers either). So all he wanted seemed to be a winning lottery ticket. Neither trading nor investing works like that.

In Ukraine, the puppet government after the coup on the Maidan, and deliberately cultivate anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine
Russia does not need the love of Ukraine.
Well, if you post others' propaganda, at least pay attention to not contradict yourself. However, you have just proven yourself just another mindless troll that doesn't deserve the slightest attention.

They do not have an excellent rating on Google Play
Google play ratings are not reliable for measuring the quality of a wallet. Finally I may have found a multi chain open source crypto wallet but its wrong not to talk about it on here, who knows I may be wrong, its named cake wallet and its website is https://cakewallet.com/ this website also stated that its an open-source wallet and it looks like Electrum wallet kinda styles so here you have it guys. Although open source is usually good, if you don't have the knowledge for checking the code yourself, best would be to rely on the already known/trusted wallets.

Anyone interested in participating the project? Call it HodlCoin
No. I find this project more a way to help yourself than those with not enough willingness to actually HODL. Also.. no matter how much one wants to hold for long, if big real-life problem strikes, money may be needed. And then... bad luck, mmhm?

He's not even hiding it:
A super quick look tells that maybe those could be reported, at least for begging for merits? They did lock a few threads, so at least it's not a complete waste of time. Keep reporting.
Thanks for telling. I'll unignore him so I can report the next ones.

Putin "response" is not related to frozen reserves. Putin doesn't need reasons for "shitty response", he can fabricate them himself. Thinking different means big flaw in one's logic. Just ask yourself: what was first, his attack or the sanctions? And if so, what was the reason for his shitty attack?!
Do not be fooled, if you look at the essence of things, or at least a little deeper than the surface, then at least 80% of the responsibility for the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine lies with the United States. The United States is the main beneficiary of this conflict, it weakens Russia in one fell swoop, shifts the attention of Americans from internal problems to external ones and, with the imposed sanctions policy, actually destroys a strong competitor in the face of the European Union. In Ukraine, the puppet government after the coup on the Maidan, and deliberately cultivate anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine, the United States began back in 2004 with the coming to power of Yushchenko. A similar US policy is being pursued in Taiwan towards China. You either got fooled, either want to fool us: nobody but Putin is responsible for starting this stupid war, killing civilians and destroying goods. It doesn't matter what is the sentiment in Ukraine. It's not Russia's business. And yeah, I am sure now Ukrainians will just love Putin and the Russians for killing and raping them. What alternate reality are you living in?!!?!

* That tx you try to send was already sent out in 2017 * I've found something here that may be useful: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/102659/upgrading-converting-bitcoin-core-wallet-between-platformsI would try to start afresh: start the thing up without internet connection, retrieve the keys of the addresses with funds, if they're not too many and you already know them, make a completely new wallet and send the funds there. Another direction may be to try running a version of Bitcoin Core from 2017 until you get synced with the old wallet and then see what can you do next (either follow what's in that stackexcange solution, either start afresh).

Putin is a pain in the ass we all know that but with frozen reserves, it's like giving Putin the reason to respond like shit.
Putin "response" is not related to frozen reserves. Putin doesn't need reasons for "shitty response", he can fabricate them himself. Thinking different means big flaw in one's logic. Just ask yourself: what was first, his attack or the sanctions? And if so, what was the reason for his shitty attack?!

I do not know what he is trying to achieve [~snip~] I find it hard to post to his thread because of low quality of how his topics are
Some possible ideas: * fishing for merit: one who creates a topic rising valid points gets merit * trying to rank up fast - maybe for earning money, maybe for selling the account * help another account(s) enter into more or less valid discussions to make his signature quota I highly agree about the low quality. Maybe that's the reason he's on my ignore list for some while already. Maybe he should be constantly reported for spam? I don't know, it may be debatable, since I've seen worse too.

This could indeed be the one size fits all, although I still think unused features should be removed entirely (maybe available as downloadable extra modules).
Removing the features completely would.. what, make the exe smaller? I don't see a real benefit there. On the other hand, although some may be experienced bitcoiners, may have issues installing and verifying extra modules. Or the installer will need to be more complicated. Moving the code out, making everything "pluginable" would also mean hella lot of work. If you also keep in mind that Electrum works from same code on multiple different operating systems, you'd see that splitting electrum would be counterproductive (much more effort and no actual benefits). Even asking for UI changes means "making requests" for an actually free program. So the developers may or may not consider it. However, this is discussion. Electrum devs may not pay attention to what we write here. If this kind of requests are to be made, one should write them into Electrum git: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues
