Of course, I don't feel rushed to make any transaction. It is difficult to know what method the wallet I am currently using as we are not able to choose. The recommended fees were too high even when we chose minimal fees. Electrum seem to be the right choice for me right now and I will try these three method as needed.

Choosing any of these estimation methods wil not reduce the fees you pay, they only help you decide which fee rate is most suitable for you. So, it doesn't really matter which one you use since they simply show you where your transaction will be positioned but from different perspectives.
I just want to have the convenience of setting the amount of fees I wanted and that I didn't get in my previous wallet. If I were to compare the two wallet, I would choose Electrum because it suits my need.

You consider this as risky compare to the luck and chances? Well, if you don't trust your skills in the first place you are already lost even the game hasn't started yet. It all depends on your perspective on how you see things differently even if your opponent is skillful, every gamers should have at least a secret weapon under their sleeves. It's called outsmarting your opponent just like how you play chess you planned carefully your next move, that's how skills should work.
Skill are the secret weapon in gambling? I think that's great. In skill-based games, in my opinion, a confident attitude toward our abilities (skill) is very important because this is the most appropriate way to make yourself excited to beat your opponent even though there are time when the reality is different. Without this attitude, I think we will continue to be haunted by doubts throughout the game and it wouldn't be good. Just to say, never underestimate all opponent because it could be a boomerang that will hit us back.

I would say; Yes, it is safe enough to use.
The Android version works a bit differently, on it you can only use a 6-digit PIN to secure your keys and sign transactions. But if one maintains high level of security consciousness by filtering the apps they download, the permissions they allow those apps to access on their device and the networks they connect to, then, your wallet files should be secure.
There is however the risk of carrying your device around making it inconvenient for cold storage.
Sure enough, I didn't get any negative reviews which caused me to hesitate to use it at a later date.
The only security it offers is a 6 digit password at the start (previous versions) and now security is much better because it can combine letter and number as well as symbol, but I can make it much more secure with the help of android security and app lock even though I very rarely keep my assets in the wallet.

I have been using it for a while and never had any issues in the recent days, sometimes there will be keyboard bugs while entering the pin to access the wallet but apart from that I don't find any issues.Android version doesn't allow you to set the fees manually like what sat/byte you want to go.You can change the priority of your transaction from which block to get confirmed and the least value can set is 25 blocks and it will be cheaper though.
Good, thank you buddy for the review. This should be fine for me at the moment and ETA is another option if I want the sat/ byte value as I want it and that's as jackg explained in the second post.

Lot's of things happening with the campaign and we are opening up more spots AND increasing the payments again. This will take effect next week (1st week ending tomorrow the 12th).
Really, this is great news for everyone and looks like it will be the most effective way to get more visitors to the site. I remember the same thing happened to roobet, I hope this campaign will give a lot of hope to all participant.
By the way, I took the time to check the spreadsheet, I got a bit of a mistake you did for entering two of the same name for different rank (senior and hero) and it was "fiulpro". That will leave slot for 1 other potential applicant. However, I bet you already knew even though I didn't tell you.  Grin
4165  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help Me Understand About the Bitcoin Transaction method. on: October 11, 2020, 06:19:55 PM
The mempool method sets out how far your want the transaction to be from the tip of the mempool.

If it's below 0.8mb then it's likely to get confirmed in the next two blocks (or next block depending on how fast it's mined). I'd say 0.2 would almost guarentee it entering the next block. I wouldn't go further than 5-10 as 20 would probably take a while to confirm when fees are high (few days possibly).

Eta is using the other servers fee estimates (presumably derived from bitcoin core ones) which analyses both the relative increase in fees over the past blocks and the current fee rate for confirmed transaction and tries to estimate what sort of fee you'd need based on that..

Static is just static. I think the values are generally starting at 1 sat per byte and ending at 500. It's sometimes helpful for some tasks - you don't care when it confirms but want a specific rate for example pre set (mødt exchanges use a system like that so it might just be making people who only use those services more comfortable - and it does allow you to set very low fees like 1 sat per byte for if you want to consolidate inputs).
Thanks for answering jackg, because this is what I needed. If so, I am only interested in the above two transaction methods and they are pool and static. These two method seem to be very helpful to me in reducing the transaction fees I have to pay for each previous transaction.
It shouldn't be a problem for me to pay higher fees to get a fast transaction. However, if the cost is much different from the others, it doesn't hurt to save costs. Just curious, is the Android version of the Electrum wallet safe enough to use ?
4166  Other / Beginners & Help / Help Me Understand About the Bitcoin Transaction method. on: October 11, 2020, 05:48:05 PM
Previously, I had never used wallet that started with "bc1q" because I was too comfortable with previous wallet from the wallet app with the "3" prefix. But lately the transaction fees set by the wallet are so high that I have to pay $1 more for each transaction and that is the minimal amount.

Now i have downloaded one of the other famous wallet android version "Electrum" via playstore. I've got the wallet and I'm a little confused by the transaction method this app offers. There are three methods offered.
1. Mempool
2. Static
3. ETA.

Can anyone help me understand about this method ?

Well, if those chances are proved, a lot of NBA officials should be filed for fraud and bad management. Rigging something that big would also affect the players which shows none of them wanna rig the game they love. For now it really seems impossible.
I don't think the cheating that occurs in the world of sport will affect gambler on such a large scale. It sound very unlikely that the gambling houses will control a well-known sport like the NBA to their advantage. But if this were to happen then I don't think there would be anything more exciting in the sporting world to be at stake because everything was set up.

The increase in population is going to make this worse.
The very rapid population growth from year to year in a country will cause various problem, especially in the welfare sector. The more the population, the narrower the place to work so that unemployment will increase. But not always a country with a large population cant rise up and make its people prosperous. If the government succeed in attracting outside investor to invest, it will have a positive impact so that unemployed human resources can be utilized.

Regarding the OP post, the lack of human resources to maximize the yield of natural resources in African countries is what makes it difficult for them to become developed countries. The same thing happened in my country, many natural resources that cant be taken alone and always need other countries and their workers. We only get a few percent of the yield and don't involve much local workers are some of the things that cost us.

I never thought that I could go about everyday life without the involvement of a bank to make financial transaction. Almost every day I use bank service just to transfer money to other people. Even though cryptocurrency can be used as a mean of payment but I'm sure everyone may not agree to accept it for various reason. Knowledge, price volatility and these are some of the reasons why not everyone can accept crypto as a mean of payment. But I'm also quite used to paying for some stuff with crypto and I only do that if they agree to accept it.

safes are very safe, the proof is that banks store fiat in safes, thieves can't open the vault, let alone impossible to take it, put it in a notebook and put it in a drawer is too easy or unnecessary material can be put in a drawer.
As long as you can keep your wallet seed safe, you can store it anywhere without having to worry about losing it. I myself keep my wallet seed in three different places to be safe. But what matter most to me is that security is not the place to be and I don't have to buy a vault to store seed for a wallet that only contain a few dollar. Very wasteful for me.

Interestingly, the 63-year-old grandmother can still think about crypto and admit to having cancer. If I were you, then I would never believe and this is grandma in real life. Exactly what you mean, I also never want to give anything related to email and other account like telegram and will also ignore them. She is the same age as my grandmother, and it make me want to laugh because all this time I rarely find a grandmother who is good at crypto and controls her smart phone.

Selamat malam sebat bitcointalk semuanya.

Come back to home brother, itulah yang disampaikan oleh seseorang yang usernamenya tidak ane sebutkan disini pada beberapa waktu lalu lewat PM.
Memang benar, ane mengakui bahwa ane sudah sangat jarang memposting sesuatu di board lokal belakangan ini dan itu bukan berarti ane sudah melupakan SFI dan sebenarnya ane cukup sering juga mengunjungi SFI walau hanya sekedar membaca dan mendistribusikan beberapa merit yang ada.
Ane cukup terkejut dengan kata-kata "Come Back to Home Brother" karena ane tidak berpikir bahwa ane telah melakukan kesalahan sehingga ane harus diperingatkan hanya karena tidak memposting di SFI. Namun pesan ini juga akan sangat berguna bagi ane sendiri karena SFI adalah tempat dimana ane belajar untuk beranjak dewasa. Terimakasih sobat.

Jujur, ane merasa ingin tertawa pada saat membaca beberapa posting diatas yang mungkin dapat diberi hashtag #Pulang_Kampung dari beberapa senior. Minder, malu dan tak enak hati karena selama merantau tak ngasih kabar. LOL
Tapi mulai hari ini ane akan membiasakan diri untuk kembali memposting hal-hal yang bermanfaat lagi di SFI dan semoga ini akan menjadi awal yang baik untuk ane dan semua pengguna lainnya.

Btw selamat untuk para senior-senior yang telah rank-up ke Legendary dan pasti itu sangat menyenangkan dan juga bangga akan apa yang telah anda capai. Ane juga ingin seperti kalian suatu saat nanti.

Ooh well it's now 7-2  Grin Grin Grin Grin
Oh shit, I wonder what the Liverpool defense is doing in this match, why are they weak enough to keep the defense up and also Adrian is he asleep ? Oh no, maybe he's hiding his hand in his pocket.
Will it be 8 or maybe 9 ? LOL, It will be a funny game in the Premier League this week.

MAN U - SPURS 1-6
A VILLA - LIVERPOOL 5-1

WTF is happening today?  Grin
If Manchester United lose to Martial's red card, then what will happen to Liverpool?
This will be their first defeat in the League after winning streak. However, these 5 goals were very difficult to accept, especially the supporters. Cheesy
OMG, it's been 6-2. Will there be more after this.
4175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: October 04, 2020, 07:21:50 PM
Levante is not a big team like Real Madrid. But Real Madrid memories are not pleasant with them. The last 5 times these two teams faced each other, both won 2 matches 1 match was draw.  Hopefully Real Madrid will be able to win today's match.
I don't doubt Madrid's capacity as Laliga's big team, but Levante got Madrid into trouble quite often. The meeting between Madrid and Levante was quite even and it was very interesting. But in fact, today Madrid ended the match with a 2 goal win and managed to top the standing. That's good for them. Barcelona is playing the match against Sevila and so far the score is 1:1. I enjoyed this game and hopefully Barcelona will also win this match. 3:1 is the final score that Barcelona will probably reach to be at least in the top 4.

Sorry, but can you resize the image a little smaller. I think the image covers my entire laptop screen. LOL
Maybe like this.

4176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KUCOIN Hacked on: October 04, 2020, 06:39:26 PM
The actions taken by Kucoin CEO were extremely fast (and its normal from business perspective). They cooperate with several projects and institutions to limit the hacker funds.
This is a good step taken by Kucoin's side. Even though the hacker have succeeded in taking a number of assets from the exchange, not all assets can be sold because they have been restricted. Salute for the kucoin exchange.

And if traced from his tweet, there have been several coins that have swapped as part of security measure. But what about Kucoin's side? Will they give bonuses to their members or how?
I don't think they need to because even without the bonus, users will get their full funds back. If possible, it's always a good idea to to give user bonuses and it's for those who are loyal.


And i can't wait waiting their update about this hacker identity.
I don't think this will affect anything on the exchange, it's just that if they manage to express it it deserves appreciation. I think Kucoin just needs to upgrade their security system after the hack and try to restore customer trust.

Worst defeat at Old Trafford in Premier League for Manchester United is 1-6 against Manchester City. Right now we could be experiencing maybe a new worst defeat for United.

And it's become 1-6 as I was writing the above part^^ . Another goal and Spurs and Mourinho will make a mark for handing United their worst defeat at their home in PL.
Wow, the reaction Tottenham deserved the most in this match. They have beaten Manchester United by 6 goals so far. Don't you think Tottenham can score this many goal against Manchester United, is it because of A. Martial's red card ?
Son and Kane both scored 2 goal on the scoreboard, if indeed Tottenham can score the 7th goal, then I hope one of them does. Congratulation to those of you who chose Tottenham on the bet.

A beginner can still use google to get information if he only asks simple questions like OP. Here we all need a process and so does a beginner. I don't think these people have made beginner feel complicated to get started with bitcoin as the answer given are exactly what beginner need.
So far I haven't listened to complaint from newbies that they are annoyed by answers provided by experienced contributors. I think all forum contributor have the best intention to teach as many beginners as possible, and beginner still need some effort and interest. There's nothing wrong with the answer and I don't take it as complicated as you think.

It's the first time I hear for the Earnbet. Site looks good and they have some interesting promotions. I would try them, but I will wait for some good review for this casino before I do that.
Previously they had conducted a signature campaign on the forum for several week or at least 6 week in early January to promote the site. I didn't get much information about the site, but based on the evaluation result the site campaign manager was quite successful with his campaign. You can find information and review from site customer in their ANN thread before you decide to give it a try.

I don't think gambler should try all of the site here as they generally offer the same game. I prefer site that are already reputable in forum through customer review. Gambling on multiple site does not increase the chances of winning, we need luck to win.

Altcoin are more prone to losing their value in the long term as an investment asset. If you keep your bitcoin in your wallet just in case there is a rise, why should you buy more altcoin to invest in?
Bitcoin in the long run is a great investment asset with good return in my opinion. This is not the case with altcoin due to a lack of interest in particular for new altcoins. TRX might be a good choice for you besides you also trust bitcoin.
