...After you closed Firefox it may hang (with no UI) while some part of it is working... At least on Windows this is not uncommon.

Since I have no idea what can it be, I would start with doing changes that can help me find the culprit.
What if you use another browser for a while? It could be a test to show whether the problem is with your Firefox, some website or something else.
Also you can take a look what extensions you have installed, maybe you see anything suspicious.

These are 2 ideas/directions you can try.
And/or you can wait for answers from people more into Linux...

I hope that this will help, at least with the anxiety part: most of my family is not vaccinated and the symptoms were easy.
So keep staying optimistic, drink a lot of tea/infusion, sleep as much as you can.
Our doc told us take Aspenter (gastro-resistant aspirin) once/day, 14 days (for the adults) and that was it all. But we didn't even got a fever off this, just a lot of coughing.
The difference is though that we don't smoke...

Good luck!

I'll just quote one of my replies to somebody else in this same situation:

OP, while your intentions are most probably good, the correct approach is in RapTarX answer.
Let's keep the same rules for everybody, no matter how annoying or how big scammers they are.


Negative feedback and flags are the tools for this. People have to learn to read and understand those.

Woah. Best of luck then, I wish it's Omicron, I wish you and your family the easy version with small or no symptoms.
I'm telling you because me and my whole family had it and we didn't feel it more like a winter cold (and I know it was COVID since we got tested).

Fedora 30. Linux.


Does it happen always or it's related to visiting certain website? I'm asking because it was not uncommon, especially a couple of years ago, for websites to have crypto miners hidden in their pages.
You may want to take a look what does Firefox' task manager tell. Maybe it gives you a clue who's the culprit: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/task-manager-tabs-or-extensions-are-slowing-firefox

I'm not that much convinced that you're correct since in the last year the trading volumes weren't so great.

While indeed, some could have been buying in around the first months of 2021, afterwards there weren't so many new buyers, especially knowing that certain institutional investors kept buying and stashing all they could. (..and the price still managed to jump to 69k despite the low volumes)

So while I clearly don't agree with those "known bloggers" strategies (I'm not convinced they care much of crypto as long as they get so many followers and probably income off them), I can't really tell that your conclusion is that much correct either, especially with so many good news (about adoption) coming. But maybe I'm wrong... I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't tell anything for sure.

I wouldn't be surprised. The only differences I'd expect would be that's an app directly on the phone (don't need to search for the correct app), it's endorsed under the umbrella of Apple and it's probably kinda ready to use (no need to configure this or that). I would not be surprised if they will even allow the merchant choose whether he will actually receive crypto or fiat.


I didn't look deeper, but maybe Stripe (whose actually is this "Tap to Pay") gives more details?

While it's indeed a good step forward, I don't see it as a super wow news if it's not coming to also the older iPhone versions.
Many do prefer older iPhone simply because it's smaller. Or cheaper.

But this may be copied pretty soon by some Android phone makers and then it'll become interesting. After that, in max 2 years, everybody will have that option at hand.

There may have been very few, but it was nothing big, because this information of you is incorrect:


There are far too few who care whether some of their coins can be tracked back to illicit use.
There's a saying like "if the (river's) water has passed over 7 stones, you can consider it clean". Obviously it's false, but something similar goes on with Bitcoin too. If you buy and sell and transfer in all directions, sooner or later your coins will get partly tainted. But if the related illicit transactions are "way behind", nobody really cares.

And that's why such discussion doesn't pick much traction: people are not interested in paying a premium for fresh coins, since the partly tainted coins are not "punished".

---
Of course, the coins directly liked to illicit action or poorly laundered are a different story.

Am dubii. Poate ca ai auzit de efectul Dunning-Kruger:

Cred ca nu strica sa adaug aici o actualizare a situatiei. I s-a deschis flag de scammer lui CatenaX.
Deci macar pe aceasta parte efortul lui c7ISS nu a fost in zadar.

Deci dupa ce ne-ai jignit pe toti care am incercat sa te ajutam si sa-ti deschidem ochii, dupa ce te-ai dat scula pe bascula ca ce moneda de succes(e nemasuarate) ai gasit iar noi nu suntem buni de nimic, iti permiti sa comentezi?? Pe bune?? Hai sictir! Si sa te speli pe cap cu.. oh, vai, moneda ta care, surpriza imensa (not!) a esuat.


Ei, uite ca m-a notificat botul si m-am enervat iar. Fii dragut si nu-mi mai pomeni numele in legatura cu.. acest... mamifer...

You may want to start with taking a look at the 2021 discussion here on that topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5378823

1. It would be based on what the employees prefer.

2. If you give them Bitcoin you should teach them about local wallet and you should also tell them about hardware wallets and maybe cold storage too. And how to safely store their seed backups. Bitcoin are so easy to get stolen, the safekeeping should be well understood.

3. You may have to also give them some official papers that they can use for tax purpose (crypto capital gains) when they will want to sell those bitcoins.

It depends on how old the seed is. But unless it's from 2015 or before that date, old seed is not "old", it's just seed.

Now, the best wallet for Electrum seeds is... Electrum. Recover your wallet, sync it, see the addresses tab and which addresses have ever had money on them. Check which ones are eligible for fork coins, get the private key of those and import in any fork wallet you want (although I think that only Coinomi is reputable enough for the job).

Keep in mind that before claiming the fork coins you'd better move your bitcoins away from the addresses you're claiming for. There were cases users didn't do that and the bitcoins got stolen.

Exactly. I'll be quoting from the exact license file of Electrum (excuse the caps, it's original).


Sorry OP, but you've probably have agreed to that when started using Electrum.

Well, you are wrong.
If you go on that very git I've linked, you can find the android folder too with instructions on how to build reproducible APK from that source code.

A web wallet is usually custodial. And "not your keys, not your coins" - you'll have only an account there. They can ask fro KYC, you'll probably pay more for the on-chain transactions and so on.

A wallet on your computer or phone is as safe as your device is. But here you can find open source ones, like Bitcoin Core (but beware, this one downloads 300GB = the whole blockchain, hence may not be suitable for newbies), Electrum (which has versions for PC and also mobile), Sparrow wallet, and probably many more.

If you plan to get significant amount of coins, I advise you also study about hardware wallets and cold storage. For example it's pretty easy to set up an Electrum as cold storage, but it's also very easy to misunderstand the basics and misuse it (misuse = connect to internet with a device meant to be cold storage).

Upload the pictures to imgur and post the links here. But please upload images of the mining gear, not WhatsApp whatever for private talk.
The point is to ensure first that you indeed have those new miners.
It would be advised that some discussion starts here, until you build up some trust.
