You're using AI, it's quite obvious.  And, I already read your introduction, which got me curious...  How many red-tags did you accumulate when you were here selling VCCs and other shady shit?

As others have already told you, no one here is going to accept a website as collateral.  They are too easily retrieved using social engineering, or the lender will end up having to dox himself to a shady VCC seller just to earn $75.  Not going to happen!

And, you keep exposing yourself for the shady fuck that you are.  You're here to build trust, earn a passive income?  How do you plan to earn trust or get a job if you're not here to contribute?  You're only here to take, not give, you've made that rather obvious.

So, you avoided answering my question about valid collateral, but ended up answering it inadvertently with your rambling wall of text.  You don't have anything to offer so again, I suggest you lock this thread.

I don't think so.  Odds are the dev team will tweak the python package to automatically create the launcher and register the binary in PATH, but I imagine they'll change the instructions on the Electrum website by replacing pip with venv.

Glad to hear that you were able to use my instructions successfully.  As you can see I wrote the instructions with version 4.4.4 in mind, and when 4.4.5 came out I was able to upgrade without issue also.

No one wants to waste any time with your riddles.  No one is going to waste any time PMing a newbie about a loan for which he's unlikely to qualify.

Do you have an altcoin with significant trade volume that will qualify as collateral?  If the answer is yes, post it here and someone (maybe me) will provide a loan.  If the answer is no, lock this thread before I (or someone else) get tired of yet-another-newbie-loan-request and paint your trust wall red.

Lol, no I wasn't kidding.  I've been doing horribly in these competitions.  I have about a 50/50 chance when answering most of the questions about soccer, specifically EPL, but most of the other stuff is rooted around sports with which I'm unfamiliar.

But, why don't you just keep rubbing it in, huh? 

Me, shut-up?  Schooled?  Not feeling it, but whatever.  You want to call this a win, have at it.  I have no desire to rain on your parade.

Congratulations.


Lol, screen shots don't prove shit.  A signed message would have been irrefutable and faster, not to mention that no one here really cares anyway.  But, you seem so determined to prove something to us bullies, why?  

A word of advice; stop caring so much what people on the interwebz think of you.  Now that you got the house, go build a tire swing for the kids, pet the dog, meet the neighbors.  All of which will be far more rewarding than attempting to shut-up a bunch of internet trolls.  

There are indeed plenty of use-cases where one would want to import a single key, but like you said, there are other wallets to use for that.  In fact, since it really does make a lot of sense to have your own node running for private use of Sparrow, one could use core to import single keys when the need arises.

As for a perfect wallet for power users, Electrum was that wallet in the past, and it'll likely be again once the developers implement Taproot.  At this point, that's really the only significant feature where Sparrow has a leg-up on Electrum.

Thanks for the correction.  Something in the OP made me think he was trying to import single addresses.

I started playing with Sparrow again last night, and I must say it is an impressive wallet.  Lots of great features, and a very user friendly UI.  Not to mention that it's among the few hierarchical deterministic wallets (other than core) that can generate taproot addresses.  As far as I know it might be the only taproot wallet with Bip39 seed phrase backups.

The only thing I can't get my head around is why they haven't implemented the ability to import single private keys.  You can import a master private key, but single private keys or single addresses for watching, can't be imported.  Maybe the development team is focusing on private use of bitcoin, and importing single keys isn't conducive to the preservation of privacy, but other than that I can't see why the feature isn't there.

Unfortunately, Sparrow doesn't allow one to import single private keys.  If it's a HD wallet and you can extract the master private key, you can import that into Sparrow but otherwise single address importation isn't an option.

I don't know why Sparrow wallet doesn't support that. Importing single private keys is horrible for privacy, that might be why they haven't added the option.

Then grow a pair and move on, kid.

BTW, centralized exchanges are bloodsucking vampires, shitcoining their way into people's pockets.

Thanks for the info, but let's try to refrain from turning this thread into a "He said, She said" bickering match.  I know some members can't refrain themselves from stirring drama, but so far this thread has been steadfast in sticking to the topic at hand, and it would be disrespectful and shameful for it to get derailed.

I've written a couple of guides in recent months that you may want to add to the list:

[GUIDE] The simplest Full Node guide ever. [GUIDE]
Python installation of Electrum on latest Linux kernel (6.0 and above)

For those of you still using the older ColdCards (mk2 and mk3) there's a new firmware update that fixes a bug that appeared when signing transactions. 

https://coldcard.com/docs/upgrade

The value of bitcointalk.org accounts was inflated for a while there, especially in the ICO days of 2017 and 2018 when signature campaigns were very lucrative.  During that era (and before,) there were some lenders that would take accounts as collateral.  I don't want to mention names, and it isn't important because most are no longer active in lending or in general.  A lot of those deals happened behind the scenes, and the account would end up being sold if the borrower were to default.  

As DT started clamping down on account sales, the practicality of accepting accounts as collateral quickly waned.  That hasn't had much of an affect on high ranking accounts being given unsecured loans however, since the value of the account is still considered by the lender, but more in terms of what the account is worth to the borrower himself, not what the account is worth to the lender as a potential commodity to sell.

I seriously doubt it, and I haven't seen any interaction between the two.  Both outfits have handled their forum presence with professionalism and tact despite efforts by some to stir shit and pit them against each other.

I own wallets from both outfits, and it's my opinion that both are among the best hardware wallets currently available.

I think you're reading way too much into this.  There's a very good chance that examplens has already paid DS the full amount, but if not, DarkStar_ has made no issue of it.  Examplens had already made three payments, two of which we can see are equivalent to more than half of the borrowed amount.  Despite marlboroza's review, examplens has demonstrated nothing other than being a solid member of the community.  I suggest you leave any concern about the loan in question to DarkStar_.

I hate your posts, which is why I've reported dozens of them and apparently I'm not the only one.  


I'm a firm believer in having accurate references for the red-tags I leave.


Oh, were you banned for 7 days?  I didn't miss you.  I'm sure I had nothing to do with that because you didn't send me a PM insisting I give you a loan...


Scams aren't moderated, but shitposting trollfuckery is.  If you got scammed, post your accusation with all the evidence you have and he'll get painted red just like you.

I reported that post, and it's now been deleted.  That guy has been trolling and spamming the lending board for over a year, and probably using multiple alts to do so.  Any time I see him posting in someone else's borrowing-request thread I report him, and so far every time his posts get deleted.

I don't know what it takes to get banned around here, but when 36% of your posts are deleted one can safely surmise that you are indeed a shitposting, incorrigible spammer and troll.  The numbers don't lie.
