Logging in to the forum would not prove much. It's much easier to hack a forum than Bitcoin network.
From what I know, exactly because of this, satoshi user is locked.

So, if CSW wants so bad to be believed, all he has to do is properly sign a proper new message with the private key of one known Satoshi address.
He failed to do so long ago, hence proved himself to be a clown and a fraud.

I don't know if it has change, but last time I've used WinZip, it used to do weak protection.
Using such methods involves computers and your seed will leave a trace on the disk and somebody more skilled could retrieve it.
Even more disks, USBs and so on can easily and suddenly fail, so it's not a reliable way to store the key to your money.


The best way for security is to write down -  in a way or another - your seed onto paper (preferably laminated) or steel and keep it in multiple copies, preferably in different locations many miles away one to the other.
Now, this can go from laminated piece of paper with exact seed phrase to books with the seed words marked, or from using steel washers to buying commercially available CryptoSteel-like products. Just make sure the order of those words is not altered.

Also make sure you don't do anything overly complicated you may forget in 10 years or, in case you suffer an accident, you or your family would be unable to use those funds to help you get back on your feet.

1. Your BTC is not in any wallet. It's on the blockchain. The wallet only handles the keys.
2. As said, both tx are sent. One (if you have one with bigger fee, it may be that one, but not necessarily) will get into a block.
From what I see, here's the trick: it depends on how you 1 BTC "looks like". See, the coins in your wallet consist in inputs (let's say transactions coming to you).
If your 1 BTC consists from multiple inputs and the unconfirmed tx didn't use any of the inputs the (now) confirmed tx did, then the second tx will also get confirmed.
If the unconfirmed tx tries to use at least one input that's already spent (same goes if there's only one input there), then the unconfirmed tx will not be included into any block and (eventually) dropped from mempool(s).

The fear and greed index is accurately showing that people are leaning towards greed again.
So I'd expect more such "deep analysis" come out as long as the price looks good.
But we're in speculation area. Don't be too harsh, I've seen worse and I guess that you too.


All in all, shouldn't the fiesta start much closer to the last ATH? I fear we're rushing it a little and we'll get out Margaritas before we have the real party...

I don't know of actual wallets that would use fingerprint for encrypting the seed/wallet.
Block's hardware wallet may do something like that, but it's not a safe approach imho.

So I expect that the expected use case of your question is "security over avoiding someone to see my wallet balance via operating my phone".
But it's not actual security. Your fingerprint is always with you and one can wait until you sleep, or get you high on drugs, copy your fingerprint from objects you used, or simply cut your finger as an extreme case.
All in all, fingerprint is not security at all; it gives you a false sense of security.

(Also keep in mind that malware can still steal your wallet and since it's not encrypted, the hacker can get your coins.)

Bun, este destul de clar ca motivul este acesta. Dar tot arata un pic ciudat. Adica nu-i opreste nimeni ca dupa ce toate automatele ajung la vreo -50000 (fiecare), sa isi stranga jucariile si gata.
Fiind si noi pe piata, nu ma incanta ideea...


Ei, partea cu moneda proprie e.. neglijabila. Adica o vad mai degraba cum au toate magazinele puncte de fidelitate
Si daca se gasesc mari investitori fraieri sa le cumpere... jackpot!

Happy Birthday!


I agree here with the previous post: if they chose to give you an account at a centralized exchange, it means you didn't teach them good enough.
I guess that the next step of your "lessons" must be about having own wallets, about "not your keys, not your coins".


The closest to this is the contest I've won here on Bitcointak off which I've received a Christmas present in Bitcoin, but the requirement was to buy something off it.
I've bought a monitor back then and I'm still using it (from the winter of 2017/2018), reminding me about the one who made me the present, about bitcoitalk and about the fact the Bitcoin is not only for HODLing.

First thing I can tell about crypto cards is that they do come at least with the transaction fees, unless you start mining directly to the associated deposit address which is usually unadvised.
Then exchange fees and maintenance fees also may exist, sometimes hidden in a worse exchange rate.
And most of the crypto cards come with the need to fill KYC details.
Keep also in mind that not all crypto cards work perfectly no matter what - in some cases they're just not accepted for unclear reasons, so you'll have to have with you another (backup) card when shopping.

Now, I cannot clearly advise a card since it heavily depends on where are you from. Also some of those cards works with only certain coins (usually Bitcoin), although most I've seen also works with ETH.
If you are from an accepted country, Binance card may have some of the lowest fees.

Some useful links for you on this topic:
* [BIG LIST] Crypto Debit Cards
* [HUGE LIST] Useful Crypto Links !!! (click 20: CRYPTOCURRENCY DEBIT CARD)

In the Bitcoin Cards section I see Binance Card is missing. I think that it's a worthy competitor there.
Also the bigger list of Bitcoin cards - the other topic of yours - may worth get linked here too.

Super tare, multumesc!
Am vazut la un moment dat un topic al lui Royse sa nu stia cum/daca are voie sa inceapa treaba asta, dar nu am urmarit indeaproape povestea si nu stiam ca au inceput inscrierile.

Well, we could also say that Checo actually deserved the victory, getting safety car just after he changed tyres.
But "what could have happened" means nothing; if there wouldn't have been yellow flags at the end Charles may or may not have passed Max and Max may or may not have passed him again.
The only clear thing about that yellow flag was that it denied from us a bit more show.



Completely agreed.
There was already a little teasing about this one week ago, but this race was much better and I have high hopes that the season will continue at least as spectacular as until now.

You're probably right and it's too dangerous only for the current generation of F1 cars, but that doesn't help much, at least not the drivers.

Also about the new route of the airflow, did anybody else notice that Ferrari seems to be using a rather flexible floor/airflow system, somewhat like the hovercrafts have (at a way different level/size, clearly, but still for keeping the air go where they want it to)?

I guess that money talks and those people are tied to various contracts, since it's clearly a security concern there.
Also, as said, the track is more dangerous than usual for the current generation of cars.
And I agree, the Aston Martin cars seem to be again a failure this year.
Seb did make a great choice to stay at home and there are rumors it was not because of COVID, it was more a protest against how the things go in that country.

Actually the Electrum website contains a link to the correct "variant" of Electrum on Google Play Store and that can be used.
I know that the website can be hacked/spoofed too, but it's still safer than relying on searching for Electrum on Google or Play Store.
It's clearly not the safest solution, but for those who cannot install and APK after verifying it, it could do.

If my memory serves me right, the HDD is some 13-14 years old, so at the middle
But I didn't get any bad sectors yet there.
However, wouldn't a proper formatting (the slow one, with marking the bad sectors) handle this? Or is the number of bad sectors slowly increasing?

Also some use Win7 because the newer Windoze is bigger and bigger, and not too nice with old hardware.

The laptop I've used for my kid's online courses is old, with only 2 GB ram and HDD (no SSD) and Windows 10 was a nightmare. I expect most people keep Win7 on such devices.
I've moved to Linux Mint and I can tell it works nicely and it's also much safer. And it's pretty much like Windows too 
... I'd say it's an option worth considering on old devices.

I don't know what derivation path was used here or there, so I'll give it a shot:
did by chance the old wallet has addresses starting with 1 and the new wallet has addresses starting with bc1? (in case you can see them).


Then just get another wallet. Electrum and BlueWallet would be pretty good choices imho.

That corner is far too dangerous, Mick is not the only one who had difficulties there. I fear that we may see a new red flag tomorrow in the race too because of that corner.
...I'm relieved that Mick is fine.


And Lewis not getting out of Q3... I don't think it needs more words for how oddly bad is that, especially as George will start 6th.
However, I'm very happy for Checo. I hope that he will finish tomorrow on the podium, although with those 2 Ferrari around him it won't be easy.

Mick is conscious, but I don't know more details than the Haas twitter has shown:


And the crash was bad:

Update: have seen Mick talking, gesturing, smiling. Phew, looks pretty much OK.

Since each node has its own mempool, it's not really relevant what is non-standard in a few mempools. What is relevant is what's in mining pool mempools.
And I expect that they are careful to not allow there anything that could make them lose a block because of something non-standard (and wrong).



There was not too long ago a thread - but I just cannot find it now - somebody needed a non-standard transaction mined, he even offered some nice money, but it took *very* long time (at least months) until he managed to convince people that his transaction is correct and there's no risk in including his transaction into a block, and also to find a miner willing to "risk" it. Maybe somebody can find more. However, I don't think that the transaction was sitting in mempools, I think that was not even accepted...
