What are Address Poisoning Scams?
Metamask: Address Poisoning Scam

It is not limited to web3, smart contracts but with Bitcoin and Bitcoin addresses too. With Bitcoin, it is called as Dust attack.
Dust Attack, what it is, why it is dangerous and how to prevent falling to it

People fall to this type of attack because they use one wallet for many tasks. They must do it more safely, like a main wallet is not used for exploration of new platforms, new projects. Explorations must be done with a new wallet and small one that will not cause them big issue with address poisoning scam attack or dust attack.

Did you guys saw the final draw for upcoming EURO 2024 in Germany?
We are only waiting to have two play-off winners to fill empty spots in Group D and Group F.
I think that Group B is very strong with Croatia, Spain and Italy, but Group D is also good with France and Netherlands.
Maybe Croatia to be in final eh?  Wink
Croatia is not a favorite opponent for Italy because Italy does not have good head-to-head record against Croatia, even worse than with Spain.

I know Croatia squad has ageing issues and their young players have yet matured enough and talented enough to replace legendary players like Modric, Perisic and Mandzukic. They will still have to rely on some old players for this tournament and it can be their biggest disadvantage and weakness in this tournament.

Italy is a current champion and this group reminds me about Euro 2012 when Italy and Spain were in a same group. They went to the final match and Spain won against Italy to take the crown. Hopefully those national teams will make a new version of that final in Euro 2024.

Inter Milan under pressure few hours left before match against Napoli, Juventus winning result last night success take Inter's position on top standings and make not have many option except win against Napoli and return to 1st place. Napoli have bad capital before facing Inter Milan after defeating by Real Madrid in Champion League, Walter Mazzari still can't make Napoli has consistency performance after winning on first debut match but he loss on second match from Real Madrid in Champion League. Three points is most important for both team with Napoli want to make close points from AC Milan and other side Inter won't loss three points to get first place from Juventus.

Inter have better team preparation after making rotation last match in Champion League when getting draw against Real Sociedad than Napoli played with their main players against Madrid.
Both teams in the match are under pressure of losing their position to competitors. With Inter Milan, it is Juventus and with Napoli, it is AS Roma with only three points less than Napoli.

If Inter Milan lose it, they will not be able to reclaim a first position from Juventus and it will be a first week in this season they lose it to Juventus. With Napoli, if they lose it, they will might see AS Roma get a same total point if Roma beats Sassuolo in their match.

With this pressure, both teams will want to play with best they have and get a best result for this match, three points. It can make this match turns to two possible opposite situations: a very exciting match with so many goals or a very boring match with no or little goal when no team want to lose it.

In connection with recent events, I propose to hold a vote and determine the fate of the bitcointalk forum
It is the Bitcoin forum, not Bitcoin SV forum.

Why you don't try to create a Bitcoin SV forum like Roger Ver team and Bitcoin Cash team tried but failed since 2017?

They tried to say Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin. They created their Bitcoin Cash forum but the link is still a tool to fake Bitcoin forum. They failed with both attempts.

If there is a thing like Bitcoin SV forum, it will be not different than Bitcoin Cash forum.

Non-KYC compliant casino will provably used by those people who want to mix their coin so most provably this casino will not last here as there is new implementation made by theymos.
Using a casino to launder money is very terrible idea because your money can be seized by the casino and no way to get your money from that casino. Knocking the door of DOJ to get your money from that casino back, it's impossible too.

Non KYC casinos can have more reasons to terminate your account than non KYC centralized exchanges because on casinos, they can accuse you of gambling style, pattern that harm their casino and the likes.

Casinos have their Term of Service against money laundering too and if you do this, your account will be in serious problem.

i got a question about how to move currency between exchanges ?
You can withdraw a cryptocurrency from exchange A to exchange B. Withdraw from A and deposit it to B but you will have to pay withdrawal fee charges by the exchange A. Check withdrawal fee and how much is it for your withdrawal value before doing your withdrawal.

Quote
for example i buy  BTC/GBP  on 1. exchange  and i wont to move this to another exchange -  what will happen on the other exchange if they support BTC/GBP pair will this be visible as BTC/GBP   ore as BTC/USDT ?
You can not move trading pair. Listing trading pairs is a rights of each exchange and they are totally responsible for what they list, what they don't list.

Even two exchanges have a same trading pair, their price rate can be different because of trading volume, liquidity for that trading pair as well as order walls and trading activities of buyers and sellers on those exchanges.

As each halving is passing and this block reward decrease has started sounding like a big deal to me. Does anyone else also see individual satoshi becoming valuable in future?
Each satoshi will become more valuable with time with a condition that Bitcoin will be stronger with time and being stronger means bigger adoption and higher value.

The bullish case for Bitcoin. I believe you have been in Bitcoin market and the Bitcointalk forum long enough to know about this article but I share it as I see it is helpful for newbies.

Make your plan with future halvings: 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044, 2048, 2052, 2056 and 2060.

These days you can hardly find casino that are completely kyc free, for whatever reasons at some point you will be required to pass kyc and particularly in sensitive cases as this issue of multiple accounts it's through kyc verification that can be used to prove your originality as the account owner and to further  prevent you from having such experience in the future. At this point the ball is in your court to make your decision depending on how important your account is to you.
They can have service terms that they can do special, advanced KYC for conditional situations with their user account and suspicious activities. Even if they are completely KYC free at the moment, because they are a centralized service, they have to register license (if not now, they can do it in future) and have to obey to regulations, in future they will probably request KYC on their platform.

Don't use any centralized service and think you are free from KYC completely. If you are very hardcore, dislike KYC, don't send big money to your online accounts and feel disappointed or painful later because of KYC requirement. Your account is not important but your money is and you will have to KYC even you don't like it.

Big win for Arsenal in the Champions League competition. Arsenal did not give any chance to their opponent. They were literally scoring one after another without any break. 6–0 is a very big score. I really like what Arsenal is doing. I really like the performance. But Arsenal will have to be consistent. Arsenal will be able to get the glory of lifting a trophy if they can consistently perform like this. Well, actually they don't even have to perform like this. They just have to win. They don't need to win every match by a big margin like this. If they somehow win and keep winning that is going to be enough.
Congratulate Arsenal for their big victory that shows their strength but they must think further than a single match. They have a long season and they are competing in many competitions from Champions League to Premier League, having ability to maintain good performances with best player resource in a long season is their main concern. It is more important than a big victory in a single match because they win titles by winning many matches like in Premier League and big direct matches in Champions League. Win big and lose later will not bring them to any trophy.

Manchester United are in a poor position in Champions League Group A, with the Red Devils picking up just 4 points from their first five matches. Manchester United can't have an advantage against any team, Manchester United have performed poorly in other seasons but the performance in other seasons is better than the poor performance they have performed this season. The next match is against Bayern Munich which will not be easy for Manchester United and I will definitely favor Bayern Munich in this match and I believe Bayern Munich will win the next match. Bayern Munich is an unbeaten team in this Champions League group, Bayern Munich have played five matches where they have won 4 matches and drawn only one match.
They no longer control their chance in this group. If they win against Galatasaray, they would have a more easily last match in this group. With this disappointed draw after taking lead two times, they will have to beat Bayern Munich in the last match day and at the same time, they need a match between Galatasaray and Coppenhagen ends with a draw.

Two conditions must be met together and the chance for Manchester United to be qualified for round of 16 is very slim.

I can be wrong but I think those posts are not necessarily deleted. Moving that thread to Off-topic and lock it.

I think so because I see those posts are toxic but very general and moderators can handle those posts similarly like doxes. It is general and you can find it in many places on Internet but if it aims at a specific person, those posts must be deleted and those posters must be banned.


Q: What about deleting DOXes?
A: Nope, we don't delete them either as long as they comply with the following rules:

<...>
1. Personal information must be confined to the new "investigations" board (under Scam Accusations), which is only visible to Members and above. Personal information is defined as anything which links a user's online identity (username, email, etc.) to their meatspace identity, excluding links that the person himself has posted. It is not allowed to post somebody's personal information in any other public place, including in signatures.
2. It is not allowed to post someone's dox if it is especially obvious that you're just using the dox as a weapon. For example, if there are no remotely-plausible trade complaints, then the person can't be a scammer, and their dox should not be posted.
3. As before, anything that the legacy insecure government/banking system requires to be secret is not allowed anywhere. This includes social security numbers, credit card numbers, and certain account numbers.
<...>

Why aren't they deleted? Because such doxing is just compiling information about a user already available publicly, often via search engines.

How to back up a seed phrase?

After you read it, you have to figure out what is best method for you.

Seems to me the best way to store a seed phrase with a hardware wallet would be write your seed phrase down twice and break it into 2 parts.
Your idea is bad at the start. Spliting your seed phrase to two or three parts does not help you to have better backups but technically, it makes a worse backup. Losing access to one of two parts of the seed phrase, you lose your bitcoin.

After that, I also read that you want to store it at banks, it's another bad idea.
492  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jack Dorsey wants to decentralize Bitcoin mining with new investment on: November 30, 2023, 02:44:41 AM
It is about the mining pool to be called Ocean that Jack Dorsey has raised funding for to.

After a mining pool mine a block, the mining pool have the reward before paying miners that join their pool. But with Ocean, the sharing of reward is going to be decentralized in a way not the pool that will first have the coins, but the reward will be shared in a decentralized way.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/jack-dorsey-raise-decentralize

But is this necessary? I am thinking it is a good idea, but what about you people. Is it a good ideas?
Ocean mining pool is not a big pool, not belong to biggest mining pool. It was rebranded from Eligius mining pool that is an old pool but never belong to biggest ones.

It can be a good initiative to contribute something for Bitcoin decentralized mining industry but if it is only Ocean mining pool, it will be not enough. Because decentralization, with the term, means about what it is. A single mining pool can not provide decentralization for Bitcoin mining industry.

It can be a good trigger for more mining pools to do the same or to innovate something new and better than what Ocean mining pool is doing. If it becomes a bigger trend, it will help Bitcoin mining industry but now, I see it is not enough effort from Ocean.

There's no fluctuating about Liverpool, they are winning matches and very competitive in every other league. Jurgen Klopp has emerged as the masterwork of perfection behind Liverpool's phenomenal performance in the past decade and currently. He intends to win the Europa League this season, and nothing will stand in his way; he has the necessary players, an enormous force team, as well as most importantly, a winning strategy for the game. It doesn't matter whether Liverpool wins or loses the next games; what matters is that they focus on the next phase of the Europa League this season.
Liverpool and Klopp are strong and very ambitious but I believe they learned something from a season they wanted to have four titles but failed at very last weeks of season and one season later, many of their players injured with perhaps exhaustion after a long season with so many matches. They will not repeat that mistake in this season and will use their energy and diversify their player resource better.

They will know when to use young players, when to give up in unimportant matches. They are still one of strongest clubs in Europa League and even some big clubs will drop to Europa League from Champions League, Liverpool will continue to be one of best competitors for the crown.

whether it's Manchester United or even Sevilla. Talking about Sevilla, they haven't won even one of their four matches. tomorrow, a fateful day for Sevilla.

So what's interesting is Milan and Newcastle, these two teams have the potential to have tickets to the Europa League playoffs.
Milan, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Sevilla are one of big clubs can join Europa League play-off round if they fail in Champions League. It's interesting if Sevilla again will drop to Europa League and continue to defend the title at where they are King. The past season, they won Europa League even when they did not have a good season and in many months, struggled in bottom area of La Liga.

What do you think is the reason? Has bitcointalk lost it's charm?
Bitcointalk is a Bitcoin Talk Forum and mainly for Bitcoin.

Altcoins in the past, made their announcements here because VCs, Labs were not common and had big capital for cryptocurrency investments like we saw since 2020 bull run. Big altcoin projects have other places to build their communities and raised fund for their projects but does it affect Bitcointalk?

I think it is good for Bitcointalk because there will be less spammers join the forum. There are still altcoin projects have their bounties in Bitcointalk but they are not big ones.

Altcoins even they are big and top altcoins, can die and lose their top positions. Bitcoin stays at a first position since 2009 and Bitcointalk is a biggest, most iconic cryptocurrency forum.
496  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Original USD value of a BTC transaction on: November 29, 2023, 03:07:49 AM
But that isn't the USD value when the transaction was made. That's the current USD value. Those USD values reflect the real-time USD price of Bitcoin. So, they also change accordingly. OP was asking a way to know a Bitcoin transaction's USD value during the time when the transaction took place.
Because it is latest blocks so values are for recent prices on the market.

If you look at this
Block 1, Bitcoin has no value in $ so the value of 50 BTC is $0.

Look at block 400,000 https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/blocks/btc/400000
Quote
A total of 26,270.68 BTC ($11,079,920) were sent in the block with the average transaction being 15.8257 BTC ($6,674.65). BW.COM earned a total reward of 25.00 BTC $10,544.00. The reward consisted of a base reward of 25.00 BTC $10,544.00 with an additional 0.3335 BTC ($140.66) reward paid as fees of the 1,660 transactions which were included in the block.
Simple math: 26,2470.68 BTC = $11,079,920

1 BTC = $421.76. It is not today price for Bitcoin.
497  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Original USD value of a BTC transaction on: November 29, 2023, 02:06:59 AM
Is there an easy way to view how much the transaction value in USD was at the date/time the BTC transaction happened ? I remember it used to be visible on blockchain.com if you hovered over the BTC amount but seems they have removed this option.
Blokchair.com explorer
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/1
Value of 50 BTC at the time is $1. Maybe it is an estimated value only but it is not accurate for very old blocks like block 1 when bitcoin does not have value in fiat.

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/blocks/btc/1
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/blocks/btc/800000
This is more accurate. Value is $0.

I see you can get value of a transaction with blockchain.com explorer. Did you miss anything?

498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 28, 2023, 08:44:37 AM
Girona played very well in their home match against Bilbao. The big problem for Girona in that match was the unsatisfactory final finish. They had so many chances created throughout the match, but luck was not on their side. Meanwhile, Bilbao is also the same so this is another classic match like a big match in La Liga. Bilbao played better in the second half and put a lot of pressure on Girona's defense, but Girona, who had a good spirit, continued to maintain it until the end of the match.
One bad match is not enough to wash all previous good matches they had, but I am so doubtful that Girona already touched their limits. They soon will hit their limits when players touch their physical thresholds and can not continue their good performances for Girona. We will need a several more matches in La Liga to see how Girona continue their good form or start their down side in performances.

It is not only about Girona but also about all small clubs which suddenly have excellent forms. They are not familiar with pressure at top positions and they don't have enough players to alternate during a long season. Therefore physical exhaustion has to come unavoidably and performance has to decrease consequently.

Quote
In the end, Girona had to be eliminated from the top of the standings even though they had the same points as Real Madrid. Girona lost head to head with Real Madrid and that is what made Ancelotti's team lead the standings this week. Girona may find it increasingly difficult to re-establish their feet at the top of the standings after Real Madrid leads the standings, but of course that really depends on the performance of the two teams in the next few matches.
It it still good for Girona but the more importance is what they will show in next few weeks. If they fail to maintain good performance, they can see a domino effect and will quickly fall on the table. I am sure they will not be able to win La Liga but how about a position in top four or top six of La Liga?

Will Girona be able to get it when the season ends?

But if he pleads not guilty and there is no deal with them, what will happen to Binance? I believe he is thinking more about the future of binance and the BNB blockchain ecosystem than he is thinking about himself. After all, those are two passionate products that he has worked hard to build over the years. He may not be arrested but his two products will certainly be destroyed if he does not agree to any deal. I think CZ's punishment will be the same as Arthur Hayes.
In history of cryptocurrency market so far, there is no centralized exchange that can successfully defend its leading position for more than one market cycle. Mt. Gox, BitMEX, Poloniex/ Bittrex, Binance. Binance is the CEX that has come very nearly to achieve it as a next market cycle is almost kicked off as a next Bitcoin halving is only five months from now.

If CZ refuses to plead guilty, Binance will continue to be investigated and under massive attacks from governments, regulatory authorities and other competitive exchanges. This even is like a bomb rescue from CZ and Binance and I think it is good for cryptocurrency market in general because before a bull run, a big bomb is taken off already.
