How is it possible for me to search specific terms from title of topics I or any other member created?

For example, I want to search the term ''moderator'' but only for topics I created, that means all other topic from other members would be excluded from results.
If you only want to search the titles, you can use CTRL-F on the forum page Search topics.

I don't which posts are topics before February 2023 (when I started tracking new topics). Tongue
But you have the data, right? Take topic 2423 for example: the first post is 32717. Can't you somehow pull this from your database? I can get you a list if you want.

you're likely to hit the rock while attempting to trace the mod payment from the forum bitcoin address. Only OgNasty, the forum treasurer, has access to the forum's payment statistics.
None of this is correct Shocked

The most popular theory is that the global causes of the 2008 crisis have not been eliminated.  As a result, the inefficiency of the global economic system only increases over time.
I'd say an economic crash is long overdue, and the longer it takes, the worse it's going to get. You can't just make economic problems go away with "brrrr", it only postpones them (while they build up in size).
4825  Economy / Economics / Re: Fed on brink of fifth(?) round of quantitative easing on: March 21, 2023, 02:27:22 PM
Only 3 banks were collapsed on United States and the FED have add $0.3 trillions, there's a study where they find 186 banks have potential risk going to bankrupt too
I'd say let them! If that much banks are in such a bad shape, it looks to me as if they've gotten far too comfortable. Banks don't deserve their special position: any other company would go bankrupt instead of getting a bail out.

Considering the number of banks that are in a bad shape, I'd even say there should be a minimum of 1 bank per month going bankrupt, just to cleanse the system a bit and remind them there can be consequences.

Payments are public based on the transactions that can be seen on Blockchain, but is it really possible to categorize where they're getting those payments from?
If addresses in one transaction belong to different Mods, I can take a guess Wink Payments are higher than I expected.
4827  Other / Archival / Re: Question for forum moderators on: March 21, 2023, 10:48:54 AM
Just curios, did theymos pay all the mods for their work or were they doing it as a voluntary job without any demand of money?
This is Bitcointalk, Mods have their Bitcoin address in their profile. Payments are public Smiley

I only remember a few passwords, but I use hundreds of different ones. Most of them look like "(f#L!{p[oKGzz[2aV$'[P6!n$", and I'm not even going to try to remember them.
That's the type of password everyone should be using. It's your choice if you try to remember them or not but believe me, if you try, that's not difficult to remember. Type that hard password frequently for months, for a year and then you'll realize that you have memorized it
Like I said, I can remember a few passwords. But I can't remember hundreds of them, and most of them I don't need very often. If I'd try to remember them all, I'd either have weak passwords, of lose access all the time.

There was a recent case where a US soldier had his life savings seized for no justifiable reason or probable cause:

Watch Cops Seize Combat Vet's Life Savings [RARE FOOTAGE]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeS_0NQUZs
The main problem I see here is that the law enforcement agency gets a (large) share of the money that gets confiscated. That makes it almost a commercial enterprise, and that's the part to change.

If, here, I'd be stopped carrying €100,000 in cash, I'd have some questions to answer too. But as far as I know the local police doesn't financially benefit from it, which is a good thing.

Quote
There are law firms which handle cases like this(as mentioned in the youtube clip above).

Although in the case of digital assets, it could be much harder to have them returned.
It's going to be an interesting case for sure.

I've seen several posts saying they shouldn't have seized everything, but that's not really an option. Chances are someone else still has the private keys, and once they move it, it's too late to seize it.

I think the use of real words, depending on how they are used, is a not bad model.
A machine finds random letters faster than real words.
It depends: if you're comparing one random character to a word, the word is harder to find. But if you compare 4 random characters to a 4-letter word, the word is easier to brute-force (by using a dictionary attack).

"Waterwithsaltandsugar!1" it could be someone's password
I've seen similar phrases used as brain wallets, and they were found.

Is it better idea to show your ISP that you are using Tor? Don't you think it's alarming?
Is it less alarming to show your ISP that you are using a VPN?
Both isn't ideal, but VPNs are often used to connect to a company network too. Or for streaming.

You could eaisly use secondary accounts for purchasing stuff from forum... and I don't mean LeyoceV Mobile  Cheesy, but some random newbie account.
"I'd like to give the t-shirt I won to a Newbie who lives in the same country as me"....

Which do you think is easier for an automatic system to find:
"1McY1aGwc8jvFtA."
or
"My2YearOldCatLikesYoWalk."

Both are equally strong, but the second option is much more difficult to be recognized by an automatic system than the first.
What makes you think they're equally strong? If the first one is generated randomly, it's much stronger. If you want to use words as a password, at least generate them randomly. Kinda like Electrum does it.

The probability of him hitting random letters is greater than a sentence.
You should look up the words "dictionary attack" Wink

If there is a possibility that all (or almost all) transactions could potentially have their privacy reversed then it will be as you said most concerning from a user perspective.
Even if that's true, it still depends on who you're hiding from. If you don't want your local barista to know you're rich in Bitcoin, you're still good. There's still no blockchain evidence linking your addresses.

the authorities will be focused on big criminals
I haven't seen anyone who's against that.

In absolute terms, you should not buy or sell anything on the forum in order to protect your privacy. You don't know who you are sending your address to.
For exactly this reason, I've refused physical prizes that I was offered, and never bought collectibles. It's unfortunate, but each time a "Trusted member" turns out to be a scammer I'm very happy I kept this part of my privacy.

I am sure that a lot of members can be already linked to a deposit/withdrawal made from a CEX via an address they posted here. Even with all the effort, the CEX will cooperate with law enforcement if necessary, and the efforts to protect themselves here will have been for nothing.
It depends on who you're hiding from. I'm not hiding from taxes, and I'm not hiding from law enforcement. But if you are, you should indeed not use any centralized service that requires your real data.

This is not allowed on Bitcointalk. You're only allowed to do on-forum Bitcoin giveaways on this board (Games and rounds), and you're not allowed to give people an incentive to post in your ANN thread.

As people tend to have dozens to hundreds of accounts, if you can memorize all of your passwords, they are either:
  • Not distinct enough (i.e. not a fresh one per account)
  • Not independent enough (e.g. you have a 'master password' with numbers at the end or something like that)
  • Not random enough (e.g. you use real words)
Another common mistake is using a few different passwords, and not remembering which one is used where. So when trying to get access, those people try all passwords they know  until one of them works, without realizing they've just compromised them all.

or find some way to manually update.
If it helps: loyce.club/other/tmp/ibminer/ (scheduled to be deleted in 30 days) lists all userIDs who posted on the past 29-ish days. Note that the files contain duplicates if users posted more than once.

Who's "LE"?
My guess: Law Enforcement.

I tested the Tor browser, it loads this forum fast (I may update the desktop version to test it too). But one of the reasons I prefer my browser is because it does not log me out, it keeps the tabs I have opened before intact
Tor browser can do that too, but it ticks "Always use private browsing mode" by default.

I don't get it, why should you lost your account? Set a difficult password, write down, type a lot of times, a lot of times that will definitely imprint it into your muscle memory and then you'll write it down with your eyes closed.
I'm not losing my account, but many people do. And when it happens, for instance because someone gains access and changes the password, it's good to have a recovery option. That's one of the reasons I staked an address.
Note that "recovery options" are often a risk factor on their own. If a service uses SMS for recovery, gaining access to your phone is enough to gain access to that service. That's why I prefer not to enable recovery options, although a signed Bitcoin message is safe enough for me. If anyone gets access to my wallet, they have access to my forum account already.

I have a lot of different passwords, strong ones with a combination of random characters, uppercases, numbers and special characters. I memorize them, type them regularly very frequently
I only remember a few passwords, but I use hundreds of different ones. Most of them look like "(f#L!{p[oKGzz[2aV$'[P6!n$", and I'm not even going to try to remember them.

Doesn't that break rule number one?
Stake an unused address.

Do you still have a server running a full node?
Yes.

Quote
I never worked with a full node, but I can try to make an API for it that would allow such requests.
I don't think Bitcoin Core can do this directly, but there are some python scripts to dump address data. I think it comes from chainstate, so it may also work on a pruned node.
