trying to visit the website. But it's not connecting. is your website banned for visitor from Bangladesh?
I guess there's a problem with your service provider. They may have blocked Sportsbet.
I just tried to open the website using an IP address from a restricted country.
Sportsbet allow you to open the website with any IP even restricted countries. But you will get an error when logging in from a restricted country.
4022  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin Core question. on: June 05, 2020, 04:16:25 PM
You need wallet.dat + passphrase or the private key associated with your bitcoin address.  
If I understand you correctly, you have lost the wallet.dat file. If that's the case, you cannot recover your coins.
The passphrase is used to encrypt wallet.dat. Since that file does not exist, the passphrase cannot help you.

If I understand you incorrectly and you have wallet.dat, you need to download Bitcoin Core, but you don't have to download the blockchain.
First use the command below to get your private key.

Code:
dumpprivkey "your bitcoin address"

Then download Electrum, create a new wallet, select "Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys" and then enter your private key.

Note: Download Electrum only from the official website
4023  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: What to do when i sent bitcoin and receiver states they didn't receive it? on: June 05, 2020, 02:57:14 PM
If bc1qcygs9dl4pqw6atc4yqudrzd76p3r9cp6xp2kny isn't the receiver's address, your (or his) computer may have clipboard hijacking malware. Or he may be trying to scam you.

Take a look at the following thread
Bitcoin 'successfully' transferred to an invalid bitcoin address

That's a same address.
The OP has likely downloaded a fake version of Electrum.
4024  Other / Meta / Re: My account is bug. on: June 05, 2020, 02:25:23 PM
Can anybody who can explain how and why this happened. Just really curious about this case. Thanks.
Upgrade00 already explained this.
The Avatar was worn when he was a full member. That time there was no merit and ranks were determined only based on activity. Some posts were deleted, the activity decreased to less than 100 and he became a member.
When the merit system kicked-off, all users with member rank including this user received 10 airdropped merit.

So, there is no bug in ranking or merit system.
The bug is that this user is still wearing the avatar worn when he was a full member although he shouldn't be able to wear avatar.

There's a same issue for some old users that are below full member but still wearing avatar (In the past all users even newbies were able to wear avatar).

Examples:
Ninazu
dvdrewritable
DrKenobi

4025  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: How about adding 2FA for next wallet update? on: June 05, 2020, 10:46:16 AM
Now every exchange and other wallets having and suggesting to add 2FA
Some making it mandatory..
In exchanges and custodial wallets, whether you enable 2FA or not, you rely on a third party and you cannot spend you coins without their permission. If you enable 2FA, you just add another third party.

You should be your own bank and be independent from any third party.
4026  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Trx Fee on: June 03, 2020, 09:00:30 PM
how could sb include more than 1 inputs?
as I understand we could only have 1 input and 1/more outputs.
isn't that the case?
You can send from any number of inputs to any number of outputs.

Let's say you have a wallet with addresses A and B. You receive 0.01 BTC in address A and 0.02 BTC in address B. If you want to send 0.03 BTC to someone, your wallet will send the 0.03 BTC from addresses A and B. Here the transaction you make includes 2 inputs.

Even if addresses A and B belong to different wallets, you can import both of them into a single wallet (if you have their private key) and send the entire balance or a part of that in a single transaction.

Go to a bitcoin explorer (e.g. Blockchain, Blockchair, blockstream). You can find numerous transactions with multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

Instant exchanges usually assign an ID to every transaction.
The new link opens after clicking on "exchange" button can be something like gold.storage/en/market?id=xxxxx.
If this is implemented, the transaction can be easily found even if no email address is used. If there's such link for every transaction and the user closes the tab mistakenly, the link to the transaction can be found in the browser history without any trouble.

I just tried and link remains as, "https://gold.storage/en/market".

Yes, that's how the marketplace works. Having such links for transactions was only a suggestion.
I suggested adding ID for every transaction made in GOLD marketplace and the link includes that ID. In this case, we can track the transaction using the ID in future without any need to use an email address.

I believe I read the same proposition on meta before 1-2 years and one of the answer was "recognition" as mentioned here too (will try to find it). I respect that but it is confusing to see them as moderator while they aren't.
A "recognition", special thanks" or "founder" depending from each situation would be better imo.
You are probably talking about the following topic.
Most of our moderators are inactive

And the following post by Welsh.

Mike hearn isn't a moderator either. He was likely given permissions there because hes the original author of BitcoinJ. Hes since quit Bitcoin, though. Shame, because he was one of the contributors to Bitcoin Core too.
4030  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion to update the obsolete moderators from various boards / child boards on: June 02, 2020, 01:03:36 PM
PS none of them were mods. They are just shown there for users to see the dev. Might have lost some of it's usefulness over the years but IMO should remain for posterity.  
But they are shown as moderator.



In my opinion should change the word "moderator" to "developer" if the purpose is to introduce them as developers.
4031  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: my own wallet seed on: June 01, 2020, 08:27:35 PM
You can try this out for yourself. Find the "english.txt" wordlist within your Electrum directory, back it up, and then edit it to contain any words you want. Create a new wallet, and it will give you a seed phrase using only your custom word list. Close Electrum, restore "english.txt" to the original, reopen Electrum, and create a new wallet, this time restoring from the seed you generated with your custom wordlist. The addresses will match.
I tried to check this. But I cannot edit the "english.txt" file.
The first word in the list is "abandon". I changed it to "abide". When I hold CTRL+S or I click on "file" and select "save", a new window opens and it asks me to select a location for saving the new file.
It's like that I am clicking on "save as" button.



I tried to save the new file with a same name and in a same location so it replaces the old file. But I got "Access is denied" error.

4032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Seeds on: June 01, 2020, 12:59:33 PM
based on the new decisions and changes they've made, i will definitely move to another wallet.
is there an alternative u suggest for the desktop?
I recommend you to use iancoleman for generating a seed phrase. iancoleman will give you a seed phrase and several addresses.
Then you can import your seed phrase into Electrum. (No need to import the wallet into Electrum as long as you don't want to spend your bitcoin. Just keep your seed phrase very very secure.)
This way you will have a wallet with BIP39 seed phrase in Electrum.

If you want to import the wallet into Electrum:
Go to Electrum and create a new wallet, select "I already have a seed" and enter your seed phrase. When importing your seed phrase, click on options and check "BIP39".
You must select the correct script type when importing your wallet into Electrum.
Select "Legacy" if the addresses iancoleman give you starts with 1. Select "native segwit" if they start with bc1 and "p2sh-segwit" if they start with 3.

Note: For your security, use iancoleman offline.

I don't know what's the criteria for the account who have the ability to claim the faucet without a captcha. I think a few options:
  • Old account
  • Total wagering
Total wagering volume.

According to the following post made by TheQuin, you can also deposit 100 dollar and get rid of the captcha without any need to have big wagering volume.

Keep a balance above $100 to play without captcha.

It's a new feature in Chrome browser after the upgrade to version 83.
It has nothing to do with the forum.

I see a same black border in other websites too.

Edit:
I just found following threads in Google Chrome help.
Chrome 83 creates border on input
Select options black border after chrome upgrade

Plus, having more money usually brings in more money as well. For 20 bucks interest per day I need a lot more money (I don't how to calculate it honestly) but I feel like its a reachable and believable amount.
The daily interest is 0.0109589% of your balance. For earning 20 dollar (=0.0021 BTC) per day, you need to have (0.0021/0.000109589) = 19.16 BTC.
4036  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is this double spending or not? on: May 29, 2020, 03:25:14 PM
So parent -> unconfirmed child -> merchant
then
(same) parent -> different unconfirmed child with higher fees ("normal" rbf) -> confirms

For removing the transaction from the child to the merchant (second transaction), there is no need to send from the parent to the different child.
If you only bump the fee of the first transaction (from parent to child), the hash of the first transaction will change and the second transaction will disappear.  
4037  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion for improving user experience when reporting posts on: May 29, 2020, 09:18:32 AM
Since OP suggested few changes, there is one I would like to see and might make reporting easier for those that are just starting - to remove that requirement of 300 good reports in order to get access to report history. If it's not matter of some tehnical reason why it's not available for everyone, why make such restriction?
I agree with allowing all users to access their report history.
If the purpose of that page is to help users improve their report quality, those who have started reporting posts recently and have low good reports need it more than others.
4038  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Hi, did they send with a too low fee? on: May 28, 2020, 05:02:19 PM
The scammer makes a RBF transaction from address A to address B (Addresses A and B have been made in separate Electrum wallets and both are owned by the scammer) and then makes a transaction from address B to address C which is owned by another person. Then bumps the fee of the first transaction. The second transaction from address B to address C will disappear.


I don't get. Are you calling cointraffic a scammer?

I like them, I think they are a good service and OP doesn't have to worry about that.

No, No, I didn't mean that.
I was only trying to say that shouldn't trust unconfirmed transactions especially RBF unconfirmed transactions. I was talking generally and not about cointraffic.
4039  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion for improving user experience when reporting posts on: May 28, 2020, 04:56:16 PM
3. What's the rush? They will handle those reports eventually. It probably wouldn't make much sense to hire more mods to deal with peak demand that may happen very rarely. However there have been some suggestions to make certain reports more urgent (e.g. malware) so that they don't get buried under a bunch of regular spam reports. That might be useful.
I'm not sure but I think some reports are handled very quickly and without any delay.
A few days ago, I visited a post offering credit card just after it was posted. I reported the post and it was deleted once I reported it.

I remember I visited two other topics offering credit card in the past few days. I visited both of them in less than 2-3 minutes after their creation and I tried to report them. I clicked on report button and I got an error saying the post does not exist. I think someone else reported them and they were handled quickly.
4040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Hi, did they send with a too low fee? on: May 28, 2020, 03:59:34 PM
But even if they sent you for 1 sat/byte (the minimum fee) the transaction would eventually be confirmed. You don't need to worry, just to wait.
If that transaction contains the RBF flag set, it is possible to replace it with a change in (fees, outputs, and amount) and therefore you may be scammed and lose your money.
I remember that it is possible in the Electrum wallet even though the main GUI does not support it[1].
Even if the transaction does not involve RBF flag, it is possible that unconfirmed transactions to be canceled.

[1] https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@profitgenerator/tutorial-how-to-fix-unconfirmed-transactions

It is even possible to abuse RBF transactions much easier and without any need to editing the wallet file.

The scammer makes a RBF transaction from address A to address B (Addresses A and B have been made in separate Electrum wallets and both are owned by the scammer) and then makes a transaction from address B to address C which is owned by another person. Then bumps the fee of the first transaction. The second transaction from address B to address C will disappear.
