Have you ever visited some website with lots of banner ads? Not in recent years, use Adblock ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I used to not mind the advertising, until more and more websites went overboard and became unbearable. Also great in Firefox: about:config > image.animation_mode > once. I know Theymos disabled animated images for avatars. But, what was the reason behind that? Just because people find it annoying or maybe there were some other issues as well? Some advertising went crazy with blinking avatars. Animated avatars aren't supposed to be allowed, but I never got around to adding detection for the APNG ones. I'll look into it. OK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now

It is well known that authorities do not like mixer services. Let's assume, for example, that a mixer stores all user data from the beginning. The government seizes its servers and arrests the owner. All the stored data now serve as evidence. The penalty would be higher if the owner had laundered $100 million than if the government had found only the last three days' worth of data containing, say, $20,000. Interesting choice of words, why would you say "laundered" instead of "obfuscated"? One could also argue the other way: "the penalty could be lower if the owner cooperates and provides accurate details on all processed transactions, thereby effectively nullifying the obfuscation". One way or another, I wouldn't use this as an argument to convince users there is no logging.

What do you think about having a button under the "x" with the edit symbol? Sounds good, try it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I don't think I'm alone in doing this. Only 47.3 million out of all 1.16 billion used Bitcoin addresses are still funded. That's 4.08%. It doesn't matter much compared to how small the chance is of finding a duplicate. realistically, bad programming and bad RNGs are probably going to cause more duplicate wallets from duplicate seeds than actually being able to brute force it or properly written software creating a duplicate seed just by random See these brain wallets, or posted private keys that still receive funds.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

I am just saying that it is theoretically possible. And I'm saying it's not possible ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) It's more of a philosophical discussion than technical. Saying it's theoretically possible doesn't help new Bitcoin users. It's theoretically possible (and billions of times more likely!) to guess my creditcard and phone number, but it's still not going to happen.

Even if it is highly unlikely, it is also highly unlikely to win in the lottery and still every month somebody wins it. This is a bad analogy. It may be unlikely that you win the lottery, but it's very likely that someone wins it. Depending on the rules of the lottery it could even be a given that someone's going to win. With random Bitcoin addresses, it's not only unlikely that you recreate an existing one, it's unlikely that anyone does it. It's so unlikely, it's safe to say it's not going to happen. I literally bet my money on this. So you can never rule out that possibility 100% Some people would argue that 99.9999999999999999999999999999% is certain enough. There are much larger risks that are much more likely to happen, and many of those events still don't happen. that at some point in the next few hundred years somebody will randomly create a new wallet that was already previously used. Based on math, I can rule this out. There's really no point in assuming something with a 0.0000000000000000000000000001% probability is going to happen. So even if this highly unlikely event does happen, I think the chances are pretty high that it will not damage anybody. It's simply irrelevant.

you have to click on the thumbnail that appears before uploading. That's not very intuitive, I wouldn't have guessed it. Maybe a "click to edit" message can make it more obvious. I like that it keeps the aspect ratio.

It would be stupid to store user data over a long period of time, as this could also incriminate us. How would this incriminate you?

the minimum trade amount for bitcoin is 0.0003 BTC and 0.00046 BTC, respectively. BestChange has a few instant exchanges that accept smaller amounts, but you can expect a lower exchange rate. It's much better to ask for Bitcoin LN for small amounts.

Well, IMHO it depends your motivation...If your goal is to get your fund back, then yes i agree unfortunately. But, if you want to make him understand that his behavior is robbery and that laws do exist, then i don't think it's a waste of time. Would it even be possible to prove the theft in front of a judge? You'd have to find a judge who understands Bitcoin and collectibles, or get a credible expert to explain it. You'd also have to prove yogg (and not someone else) emptied the collectibles. I'm not a lawyer, but it looks tricky to provide evidence where the online world touches the real world.

If it's any consolation: sending such small amounts to your own wallet also means you'll lose a significant part of it when you want to send it. Transaction fees are still quite high, and you're basically sending dust.
It's best to avoid receiving such small amounts in Bitcoin, and I don't mind if exchanges try to discourage it. A better solution would be to charge a fee for small deposits, although one could argue the current fee is up to 0.0002 BTC.

the ability to review the exchange on the site as well etc.
Your thoughts? Or do you still think it's a bit pointless? If you can pull this off with honest reviews, I'm all for it! The one thing I don't like about BestChange is that they allow each exchange to censor their negative feedback. It's going to be tough though to decide which feedbacks are honest and which ones are fake.

I have my 3 original transactions from 2010 - at blockchain.com they all go to addresses labelled Base58 (P2PKH) so I guess that's OK? So offline signing in Electrum Forks should work. But you'll need some Forkcoin dust to avoid replay protection. Without that, chances are several of your Forks end up on the wrong chain on your Ledger, and getting them back would require getting the private key out of your Ledger. That involves risks, so just avoid it By including some dust (a small amount) that only exists on one chain in your Forkcoin transaction, you make sure it can't be replayed on another chain.

Admin does not allow content written with AI for this forum. That's not true (unfortunately). Bots have to follow the same rules as humans. What Admin doesn't allow, is plagiarism. And pretending a spambot's output is your own is plagiarism.

There was a time when bitcointalk had the option to display the animated signatures I've never seen animated signatures. Animated avatars were also disabled, except for the guys who had them before the new resolution was put in place. I think Yahoo, Ibminer, Vod and some other few members still have animated avatars Those aren't annoying at all, and it's really too bad that's not possible anymore. The heavily animated advertising had to spoil it for the rest.

By using a child transaction you are increasing the fees to have it confirmed faster.? That's possible, but wasn't the main goal. The only tiny improvement it can make is beat a human attacker if the attacker kept the second private key and not the original. I know that's a small chance. ..but it still will end up going to the same private key of when it was forged in the original timelock transaction....correct? Just faster as far as confirmations go. The original time locked transaction can't be changed. But bottom line is, if a person just has a raw hex transaction....and no wallet A or Wallet B, then there is no way in hell that that can be altered. Correct. Still its good to know you were able to do it if I understood correctly ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) That's not what I did. All it does is speed up the sweep time once the time lock expires.

Or did you take the receiving wallet (B) private key and created a code that once the timelock was broadcast it automatically swept the BTC being received from Wallet B from Wallet A? The BTC would have to be in wallet B already otherwise a transaction could not be created with an empty address The idea was to be able to do this: I wouldn't mind creating a cronjob that tries to broadcast a bunch of transactions every minute. Once it's accepted by the network, bitcoind (which I have running anyway) will broadcast it. So, in yogg's time locked case: You already have a time locked transaction, which can't be broadcasted yet. You use this transaction to create a child transaction that sends the funds to your own wallet (this transaction also can't be broadcasted yet). Then, by trying to broadcast those transactions every minute, both will get broadcasted the moment it's possible and your funds are swept as fast as possible. And none of this is useful in cases where the scammer kept the private key which can bypass the time lock.If you still have a future time lock pending, let's try this for real ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Loyce...wouldn't that mean you would need access to the private key? In order to create a transacrtion wouldn't the public key paired with the private key need to be loaded and then a transaction can be generated? Didn't know this could be done with no Bitcoin in it. You can't send a transaction from an empty address, but I'm hoping you can create a transaction based on the (still unconfirmed) timelocked transaction. ~ I really thought this must be possible, but I can't figure out how ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) So never mind this plan ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) This works, using Electrum. I tested it on Testnet. Or this, although slightly more complicated, should work on Bitcoin Core.
