Node is latest version, fully synced, pruned.
It just get's weirder: in bitcoin-qt -testnet it shows available balance of 0.01 tBTC, but in Send > Inputs, there is nothing, quantity = 0, amount = 0.
Do you try it with the mainnet, not testnet? Balance on test net has no real-world value so I think it is likely a possible reason. Definition
A global testing environment in which developers can obtain and spend satoshis that have no real-world value on a network that is very similar to the Bitcoin mainnet.

From this: it requires 284 GB as minimum free space.
that is the minimum space required if you want to run it as a full node storing the entire blockchain history. otherwise you can run bitcoin core as a pruned node where you only store the most recent blocks alongside chainstate and that can reduce the size to a much smaller value (550 MB). I don't want to waste my storage space for the wallet because I am not going to run the Bitcoin Core full node, so I try to apply the advice. When I run the wallet, I see the option: - Discard blocks after verification, except most recent 2 GB (prune). What should I do? Choosing that option or not? I guess the answer is choosing it. Next, can I still recover my wallet on the other devices (if I have private key) with that prune node? Last, are there options to set up the allocated space for that prune node (more than 2 GB but less than the required one for full node > 500 GB)? Thank you. |

People have to be responsible for all of their activities and decisions. Greediness and inability to control greediness are the root causes of all bad decisions that result in falling in to scam.
I heard stories from some of people around me or read from newspapers that people scammed and lost all or most of their savings. Some of them lost money that they borrowed from banks or (more terribly) from black markets. Digging deeper into their cases with my neutral perspective, they got scammed because they are greedy (with promised high interest rates, for instance).
In financial journey, greedy people always lose money, no matter which financial games they join, in stock, bonds, real estate, or crypto.

You can read see some list of Decentralized and Centralized exchange from this post. That topic is inactively updated. Crypto Bridge has 'scam exitted', something like that but it has not yet updated in that topic. Are you looking to trade or store your crypto? If it's the latter then both dex or cex is equally bad. Store it on your hardware wallet (if you have it) or your secured hot wallet, like Electrum.
Thank you, joniboini. It is a precious warning. I only plan to trade shortly and don't store my money on exchanges, both centralized or decentralized. Here you go: CoinGecko's exchange list [in order to see only "decentralized exchanges", just click "filter" then tick "Exclude Centralized" box]. - Regardless of their respective "trust scores" on that site, always search for their names on " Scam Accusations" board. Thank you too, SFR10. I don't know that site and your tips on Trust scores and Scam accusations are great too. Most DEX actually are centralized exchange or only partially decentralized (e.g. no central server).
Thanks, it is another thing I learned in crypto. |

I never made constructive posts (wall of texts) while posting
Constructive posts are not wall-of-texted ones. Most of time, when writers make wall-of-texted documents (posts or topics in the forum, in particular), there are higher risks of distractions. It does not mean short ones are always not distractive or off-topic, it depends on writers. |

Hi,
I am newbie (my rank is a member but I am still a newbie). I read some articles, topics and posts and realised that people warned that it is bad to store money on exchanges, especially centralized ones.
It is not a guarentee that decentralized exchanges are better than centralized ones but if for very short term, I understood decentralized exchanges are likely better.
Unfortunately, I don't find any sites that categorise exchanges as centralized and decentralized. If you know it, please help me.

It seems you found out your approach to increase your rate of merit-receiving and moved much closer to your next rank. I admired you so much that you spent your last two years very patiently, no complaint along with cool posts. You moved slowly before your latest rock but eventually you have nearly reached your next rank.
I want to say congratulations in advance.

In a word: Capitulation.
Capitulation of miners often occurs in bear market or around halving time, when they surrender because of low income from mining (they feel mining income is not enough to pay for electricity bill in particular and production cost in general) or they feel shock when their mining rewards and income plummeted half by block halving.
When capitulation occurs - Difficulty ribbons compress or negatively flip - it is a very good signal of bottom price or very closely to the range of bottom price. Market needs to have a bit accumulation before blasting off.
Naturally, when most of weak miners surrender and leave the network, there are less pressure on the market (from their weak selling) and gradually price will become more stable and blast off later.
In other words, when the game changes from major to minor, it is the final stage of bear market and bull market will pop up to boost the price.

Don't trust on anyone before you DYOR and investigate their characteristic through their history in the forum.
- Rank: people can buy accounts to have high-ranked accounts.
- Merit: people can exchange or buy merits.
- Trust: people can buy trust or feedback (sometimes they will be caught if they exchange trust / feedback back and forth, but sometimes they do get trust legally from loan services).
Fundamentally, all of things are elements that help you to judge one's general trust/ reliablility.

 How exchanges are called as scam if they delisted coins with announcements on their website, and allowable time to withdraw for their users (with Livecoin, and recently Monero delist)? What will happen if exchanges announce to delist one coin next one or two weeks, and immediately disable trading on their exchanges after announcement? You pop-up and call them as scam, right? They allow time to withdraw coming delisted coins. You still pop-up and call them as scam, right? You should create and operate your own exchange, and do anything that satisfies you. |

I don't have many merits, but I have enough for you, 2 went already, TJ

What I asked you is about Monero. Why you judge them have intention to steal Monero coins from their users? Delisting without announcement? Don't allow withdrawals before delisting?
I don't dig in past story to see what happen with your Monacoin, but judged them scam by delisting Monero is unfair
10 days is not a good long period, but is not a short one. If exchange feel risks of further attacks, for known reasons, it is risky to let it opened to attackers for too long, imo.
Here, when forum ask 1 merit to become Junior member without pre-announcement. Bounty hunters likely lost their money from tokens in campaign they joined. Do you call that is a scam forum?

I don’t understand what do you mean by saying “the flag was withdrawn”. What if he is acting like this because they stole mona coins from their users and now trying to steal monero?
What did you imply by writing "steal Monero"? From what I read, Livecoin do provide days to withdraw Monero from their platforms. The case of Monero is totally different from Monacoin. The said asset will be delisted on August 30 2019.
https://www.livecoin.net/en/news/view/304Did you call Bittrex as a scam exchange by their KYC requirement and did not give customers time to withdraw money if they don't want to do KYCs on Bittrex? |

My personal criteria to choose exchanges are (in descending orders of importance):
- Liquidity
- Past reputation: scam accusation or not; if that exchange has ANN thread in forum, OP has negative trust, active flags or not
- Security history (hacked over its history or not; if yes, how they treated their customers, compensated their customers or not)
- Trading fees: gaps between marker and taker fees.
- Price gaps

The best 2FA app is Authy because of its backing optiona that you cant find on google Auth app,once google auth app is broken its goodbye to all your auth codes and you will lose access to your exchange account
The best one, Authy or whichever app, will not totally protect you from threats, if you are carelesly using your devices and not carefully backup your 2FA codes, and store backups safely. |

Important note:
2FA is essential for your important accounts. Sure, you have to activate 2FA feature for your accounts.
Steps to secure your accounts and money with 2FAs:
- Creating account.
- Don't send money to new registered account.
- Activating 2FA feature (write down 2FA codes before clicking on button to activate that feature)
- Uninstall 2FA softwares or create a new account in that software with 2FAcode backup
- Using that 2FA code backup and try to log in your account to check that you write down 2FA code correctly or not.
If you can log in your account, it means you write down 2FAcode correctly, and you will be safe next time by using this in case you lose your phones.
It is dumb to backup 2FA code, but write it down incorrectly and not recheck/ retest it, and backup is pointless in case you lose your phones.
