The screenshot doesn't really explain your problem; do you have issues opening the wallet, or syncing it?

If syncing; that's normal, most people won't be able to download 200 GB in 20 minutes.

If opening; there's definitely an issue. Core shouldn't take 20 minutes to open.

Simply using namecheap for your DNS is very different from routing all your traffic through a Cloudflare name server.

using DNS + SSL only exposes your IP to the DNS provider, whereas if you use something like cloudflare, you route all traffic through, let it be encrypted, you can still expose a much larger amount of fingerprints.

Still doesn't seem ideal but i don't think you can have DNS without someone logging certain things such as your IP. (right?)

Yeah, i for sure thought that would be higher considering Coinbase et al don't seem to accept coins from certain gambling sites, or so have i read, while they don't have a problem with mixers.
You'd think more people would mix their coins coming from gambling sites.

But perhaps it's a very niche market and they don't take up a big % as a whole either.

I know there was a website which displayed all of Chipmixer's outputs. Combine that with some wallet identifiers (Walletexplorer etc) and i'm pretty sure someone could make a nice statistic. I'm quite curious too, but i don't think it'll be much different from the graph linked in the OP (minus the illicit and illegal markets) => mainly exchanges probably.

I mean.. It looks like Bitrefill is thriving, and they are basically offering the same service you would be offering, but they do so with some huge markup rates on most giftcards (as i said it can be up to 10%).
Perhaps people feel more secure with giftcards since they can attach them to their own account...?

If you don't need a lot of liquidity to create something like this, and you can wrap it in a good UI, with clear instructions and detailed information (extended dashboard with shipping information etc.) I think it very well might be worth trying.

Although, i don't really know whether amazon et al will approve of this, since basically you'll be, (if successful) ordering 100s if not thousands of products from the same account(=same IBAN/BIC rather) shipping to different adresses.
I can already see a lot of problems arising whenever you try to scale it..  

Looking at something like dashbargain, -- it might very well work, but it doesn't seem to be A. automated, or B, very userfriendly. They basically say "submit your order and we'll see about it and send you a coinpayments link later." with little to no other information. I feel like a lot of people that don't know about them aren't inclined to use them.

I don't know, perhaps i'm overestimating the amount of people that actually use Bitcoin for shopping as well, considering other websites removed their BTC payment options after implementing them.

Hmm. These are all interesting sites.

So what if a site is non-IBAN? If it's a SWIFT /ACH transfer, won't it take like days to clear? I see some potential problems regarding all that.

I do have to say, your prices/fee structure doesn't seem exactly right. (You're charging 3.5% vs the ~2% advertised.) Still, if i compare that to some other exchanges, bitonic et al, you're offering much better rates.

What's stopping someone from cashing out bitcoins using your service? I mean, there's no KYC, right? 1000EUR per transaction goes a long way. I guess my IBAN would be used as some sort of identifier? Or if i'm using another third party service for cashing out you wouldn't have any identifying information. Interesting.

I think this could be a pretty popular thing if implemented correctly. I would probably use such a site instead of buying giftcards for amazon @ a 10% markup rate.

I don't think CS.deals lets you transfer balances/Skins over the counter to other accounts on the site though. (Plus their markup rates seem terrible.)

I think he's looking for a site where he can buy a skin and transfer the skin to his friends steam account instead of his own. (so that he doesn't have to wait a week, or whatever it currently is.)
Bitskins doesn't allow the transfer of skins nor balances. I don't know of any site that does allow for this.

Looking at that site, it looks pretty user unfriendly and probably involves a lot chatting + perhaps markup rates. doesn't really compare to something like Bitskins.

Them not being related to the topic that's being talked about or overly rehashing previous answers. (Obviously)

Looking at your post history i only see bounty reports and or things such as  "Good project".  These simply don't add any value or content to anyone reading them.

That's kind of funny.

"Hey we leaked your personal data including your face, SSN, and or other fingerprints, sorry about that, but hey, why don't you come back to our platform and we'll give you a DISCOUNT on the fees you pay US if you use our platform again."

dude's nuts.

I'd probably think about taking them to court if i had found they were so negligent with my data, but where the hell are they even based.. I have a feeling that if you're a victim of this, there's not much you can do.

they're on the same private key, but the bc1 adress isn't used and thus you don't get any benefits from it.

As in, you can't magically transfer coins from your legacy adress to your bech32 adress despite them having the same private key. you still need an onchain transaction to do so = pay fees.

Yes. Certain services like blockchain.com won’t recognize it. And thus wont see your payment etc. I’ve had troubles with certain payment processors, but these will likely update their code to also see and accept bech adresses in the near future.

But if you mean if your funds will ever be stuck on the adress; no it is highly unlikely that the network will somehow try to get rid of bech adresses.

Might be useful to post the debug log here if you want people to look into it a bit further.

It sounds like your files are somehow corrupted though.

Honestly, i don't understand why this feature still isn't implemented natively in SMF.

All these mention bots are kind of useless when you don't know who has their mentions enabled, and who doesn't. (edit:This bot only does quotes, but i also saw a different bot that did @*s)

Although i guess quoting also mentions you, still, it's all pretty user-unfriendly... Would it be so hard for theymos to natively implement something like this in SMF like he did with the merit system?
I know it's supposedly in the new forum but looking at the timelines it's a pretty difficult guess grasping when / if that's ever coming out.

I'm saying i think it's probably an issue with your browser.

Bitscasino have no text-based ads currently in rotation - https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adinfo

I think i've refreshed my page at least a dozen times now, and i can't find said ad. What site is it leading to?

I think the ad you're seeing should actually look like this?

I think Yobit's issues are insolvable by nature; namely that they're a money-hungry greedy- ponzi scheme-esque exchange with no respect for their customers, as is obvious.

I personally don't think there's much to salvage.


Every ICO they do ends like this; https://yobit.net/en/trade/URANIX/BTC https://yobit.net/en/trade/MOON/BTC , sucking every penny out of every customer who's willing to participate.



And so what was the reason exactly?

Also does this mean that Yobit is restarting their signature campaign?

Honestly.. It's pretty difficult. You could try to take some risk and engage in P2P trading with a high risk processor (Paypal) and catch high fees from buyers (20-30%), other than that, it might actually be smarter to just learn a trade (Programming for example), and either apply that into the BTC world, or simply buy Bitcoins whenever you get your salary from said trade job.

There's really no magic way to earn a lot of Bitcoin quickly. Anything you see that resembles that is either a HYIP/Ponzi, or a scam. (trading signals etc.)

Bitcoin.com =/= Bitcointalk.com and Bitcoin.com as far as i know isn't malicious in the sense that they steal your passwords, but rather try to sell you stuff you don't actually want.

It doesn't really matter. If you don't reuse your Bitcointalk.com password anywhere else in combination with the email you signed up with to Bitcointalk.com, there is nothing to worry about.

The most they could do with your email if it doesn't have the same password as it has on Bitcointalk.com is to bruteforce it, which is, if your password is longer than ~10 characters, very improbable. If you have something like Authy/2 Step Verification, it becomes impossible.

You should only change your password on sites that use the SAME password as you used on Bitcointalk.com, (which you said, you didn't, so there should be no problem.)
No. Just make sure that when you register on a new site, you use a different password than you used on Bitcointalk.com, that's all.


It never hurts to ask. If you're looking to (potentially) recover some Bitcoin, your best bet would be to ask your question here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0 (If it's related to recovering certain wallets that is?)

I guess you could change your password to an enormous long string of characters and numbers. Assuming that the operators of that site are not acting in bad faith ( which i so far have not seen evidence of) one would hope they would store salted hashes of your password (encrypted), and thus even if that site gets hacked, the hackers won't be able to use it anywhere.

If the operators are acting in bad faith, which you seem to suspect-- they already know the current password + email you have set. In which case you need to think twice if you used that password + email on any other sites as well. If so, your best bet would probably be to change the passwords on those sites, and not on Bitcointalk.COM since they already know your password.. (Although it probably won't hurt to also change your password on Bitcointalk.com, but you'd have to assume that everything you change your password to is logged somewhere.)


As long as you have no information on Bitcointalk.com that could reveal your identity, you could probably just let it be.

If it's some what decent and on the right sub-board i'm pretty sure it'll be allowed.

If you have different passwords for your account here and bitcointalk.COM you can already not be hacked here. Resetting your password on that site wouldn't make much sense. -- atleast i don't see how it makes sense.

If you requested a new password, how exactly would they try to phish you?


What the people in the OP are talking about is that they accidentally typed in bitcointalk.COM instead of .ORG, and thus had to relogin with their Bitcointalk credentials. (or so they thought.)
To prevent this from happening to you all you have to do is make sure you're on the right domain. Check if it's .ORG and if has the right layout/and or if it's bookmarked.

Okay.. How is this first sentence related to:

This?

Safe from what in the first place? Are you hacked? Did you lose access? What do you want to do?

But no, that site is not related to bitcointalk.

Asking for a new password on that site DOES nothing to your account here on bitcointalk. (Unless you give them the same password as that you've set here, in which case they might try to hack you with it (your bitcointalk account). (Is that what you did?)
