La mulți ani pentru 2022!
Multă sănătate și fericire în noul an.
La multi ani, sanatate, fericire, si cum am mai spus, mai mult noroc! Dar ai spus ca ai contract doar pe perioada sarbatorilor... ai reusit sa-l prelungesti?
Da, asta as fi si eu curios. In plus: bafta! Si de ce te conditioneaza sa renunti la pensie...?
Cred ca acea "pensie" este de fapt ajutor social, care probabil ca nu se poate cumula cu niciun salariu. Oricum, probabil ca Ion Creanga o sa ne zica mai clar/sigur. Se mai întâmplă când stai pe stradă și nu ai bani de prezervative. Dar stai liniștit, HIV ajuns mai fraier decât coronavirus și poate fi ținut liniștit sub control cu antiretrovirale. Plus că o să apară și un vaccin cât de curând. Vestea bună e că s-ar putea sa mai iau o pensie.  Eu nu vad nicio veste buna aici. Ca nici medicamentele nu-s gratis si nici nu-s intotdeauna eficiente. Plus ca nu stiu niciunul care sa nu vina cu reactii adverse  Nu stiu cum faci, dar pari sa atragi ghinioanele pe banda rulanta. Nu stiu, incearca sa ai mai muta grija si tu... |

I've spent some time to check this out and I've made it work. I'm a bit rusty with C++ since I do mostly C# for many years and I've obviously did it under Windoze, but here we are: 1. I've used Visual Studio 2017 Community edition, because that's what I already had. 2. I've copied (as zip) libbitcoin from git, unpacked, opened the .sln from vs2017 folder. 3. Removed libbitcoin-system-test project from our sln because it's for no use now. 4. Allowed the NuGet packages get downloaded (here you may have made 2 mistakes: a. using newer versions than required, b. not getting all of those packages) 5. Compiled only the library. 6. Modified the libbitcoin-system-examples project for proper paths 6.1: Properties/C-C++/General/Additional include dirs: added the exact full path to the include folder since I've noticed that it's not taken correctly into account as it was 6.2: Properties/Linker/General/Additional library directories: added the exact full path to the folder the library (libbitcoin-system.lib) was created/built. 7. Modified the main.cpp of libbitcoin-system-examples for our use (yes, I'm lazy), by pasting the content of addr.cpp over it 8. Did some corrections in order to compile it, I'll put the current code without comments: #include <bitcoin/system.hpp>
BC_USE_LIBBITCOIN_MAIN
int bc::system::main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
bc::system::ec_secret decoded;
bc::system::decode_base16(decoded,
"038109007313a5807b2eccc082c8c3fbb988a973cacf1a7df9ce725c31b14776");
bc::system::wallet::ec_private secret(
decoded, bc::system::wallet::ec_private::mainnet_p2kh, true);
bc::system::wallet::ec_public public_key(secret);
std::cout << "Public key: " << public_key.encoded() << std::endl;
bc::system::data_chunk public_key_data;
public_key.to_data(public_key_data);
const auto hash = bc::system::bitcoin_short_hash(public_key_data);
bc::system::data_chunk unencoded_address;
unencoded_address.reserve(25);
unencoded_address.push_back(0);
bc::system::extend_data(unencoded_address, hash);
bc::system::append_checksum(unencoded_address);
assert(unencoded_address.size() == 25);
const std::string address = bc::system::encode_base58(unencoded_address);
std::cout << "Address: " << address << std::endl;
return 0;
}
I hope I didn't forget anything, it compiles now. If you want to run it, don't forget to set libbitcoin-system-examples as starting project if you want to run it step by step. If something is unclear, shoot  Good luck! |

A handful of users come along today and withdraw all their bitcoin from the exchange
Clearly this cannot work unless a huge majority of the users withdraw. And even then, we don't know how many died, or lost or abandoned the accounts. The only way to do anything in the matter is in big numbers. Vires in numeris. Even if every single person withdrew all their coin today (which will never happen), the exchange can just borrow bitcoin for the 24 hours needed, repay it all the next day, and continue being insolvent.
If the number of people withdrawing is huge, they'll withdraw from all services and there may not be options to all of them get a loan. There won't be enough lenders available. However, we both know that this is wishful thinking. And the actual proper way is: The whole thing should be changed to a day of "Not your keys, not your coins" awareness.

Withdrawing your coins from an exchange for a single day and then sending them straight back to the exchange proves nothing. The majority of users will not do this
It could prove whether the exchanges/custodian services still have all those coins. I expect that a surprisingly high number of them won't. But indeed, nobody will do that, since it means withdrawal fees, much higher than the network fee. And it means quite a risk since many have awful security setup on their device hence it's worse than the risk to keep the funds at the custodian. People should - especially this day - be told to withdraw forever (not temporarily) to their own safe wallet all the funds they don't need to be kept in others' custody. And from here the obvious explanations derive - about custody, about safety, about own wallet... |

I basically prefer (if I can choose) to give my merits according to this criterion (in order of importance)
- users with low rank
- users of the local board
With very small number of exceptions, I never merit based on user. I merit the post. If the post deserves something, I'll give it that. I am also not overly generous, the vast majority of merits I give is in the 1-3 range. I also merit the local board, but it's not as active as I'd like, so most of my merit goes "international". |

so it's unrewarding work
This is not always true, based on human psychology. I've noticed that since I'm merit source I also receive more merits. And it can't be that my post have become that much better There was a topic (I won't search now) about people getting inclined to give merits back from where they've received it. Back then I didn't think that's possible, now I tend to agree that it does happen. So it can become rewarding as position (merits received). Which some will care about and some won't. |

I've seen many good points here.
OP, you can't really expect that there are so many people around you who know about the value of bitcoin.
And, while it's good to incentivize people for useful information, you can end up paying the exact thieves for getting your truck back, and after some weeks they may try again.
About hiding the tracks with Bitcoin... it's a "hmm"...
Even if you'll mix the coins, it's clear that somebody from the family owns bitcoin. And I can only hope that it won't lead to a 5$ wrench attack...

For most people in crypto he is right.
[~snip~]
Remember, we have a majority of users with few computer skills. They are in for the craze and the moonshots and meme coins.
Imho this is the correct view over what Andreas said. I'll only add that with a tiny bit of ingenuity the seed can be hidden in plain sight, which is not that much possible with the private key, also the seed is less prone to typos. But the main reason is being dumb-proof. And for that the solution at hand is seed and HW. |

Very interesting.
You can see some patterns here.
Patterns will always exists. People do browse the forum by their interests and this has a high potential of creating merit circles/"gangs". What really bugs me is users receiving many merits and not sending enough.
As a merit source, I often question myself about this.
This is pretty normal. I guess that some very high value posters simply don't spend that much time on the forum or don't care much on meriting others. They still help. I think I've read even about merit sources no longer being that much active. It happens... It's also about standards. I expect some have higher standards after which they consider posts valuable, hence they probably have hard time spending their merit. |

President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele tweeted
Very nice of him to tweet about Bitcoin, but we already know that he's bullish on Bitcoin and has his own interest in Bitcoin being successful. And I clearly don't mind, but: * I don't think that he's a specialist, by far. * His tweets should be taken with a grain of salt. Or two. Just because they're greatly biased. |

The problem is that Binance will be a model for how to deal with all cryptocurrency exchanges and cryptocurrency in general.
Binance has many black points and I hope it ends well, but if problems occur, many countries may take a step back before issuing any licenses in the future.
I am not convinced that you're correct in this. Nowadays - actually let's say one year ago - Binance was one of the very few big crypto businesses with no compulsory KYC. So it's more like an exception than a rule. It's big, it's well known, but I'm not convinced it can be seen as a model. For example FTX, although it's much newer, it's closer than Binance to what the usual crypto exchange does nowadays in relation with the laws and banking system. |

Based on these numbers, does using bigger chips due to fewer transactions seen on blockchain, have any negative impact on privacy?
Clearly there will always be more smaller transactions of a certain size than bigger transactions. But you can easily deposit a big value and withdraw a number of smaller chips. And you can easily deposit a non-standard value so it's not seen as a deposit to CM, but of course, this means that you also make a donation. |

I may sound a bit harsh/extreme, but some privacy conscious users may even wait for Monero. Well, that's true to an extent. However, if I really want to donate to Mozilla and I already own some Monero, then it is fairly easy to almost completely anonymously convert that Monero in to Bitcoin and to send it to a Bitcoin address. That becomes almost impossible when a unnecessary third party intermediary requires you to make an account and verify your identity with them first, though. I really don't understand why they have gone down the BitPay route. If you look at other software, sites, and services which privacy conscious users might use - Tor, Tails, Qubes, EFF, Prism Break, etc. - all simply provide a donation address. Mozilla are bigger than all of these. There is no way they don't have someone who could set up a BTCPay server or similar. You are completely right. And about the BitPay route: my take is that they didn't care that much. Way too many still don't care about bitcoin to HODL or take care to handle it themselves. For them it was an opportunity - make some waves, get some more (fiat) funds (and customers) - while showing support to the new technology. Maybe someday they'll do the next steps too. |

The Twitter thread is full of replies of people saying they will move to Chrome because Mozilla are endorsing cryptocurrencies. If a browser which you can use to protect your privacy endorsing a currency which you can use to protect your privacy is enough to make you use actual literal spyware instead, then apart from being a moron you really don't care if they are using a third party or a self hosted solution. I wonder why all these Twitter morons who are going to switch browser over this haven't also switched social network, since you know, Twitter endorses Bitcoin now. Lol.
Business as usual. No matter the name under it. I didn't even expect such a response. But you're right. I can't say more than "Morons, morons everywhere" It's a shame, though, because Mozilla will get no donations from privacy conscious users until they stop using BitPay.
I may sound a bit harsh/extreme, but some privacy conscious users may even wait for Monero. |

how is this remotely possible?
As said, what it counts is the size (bytes) of the transaction and how congested the network is. Now, since people were partying, also week-end is here, the number of transactions sent to be confirmed is low, hence the miners can easily get to confirm even the minimum 1 sat/vbyte ones. But no worries, the things should get closer to normal when working days start, and the mempool will get congested again when the price gets to move again big. |

Talking about everything 2022 ,BTC tx price, ERC20 and BEP20 tokens.
10-20$ for 1 transactiion fee, even if sending 1$ .
I don't know about altcoins and tokens but: * For Bitcoin, if you use your own wallet, right now, the fee for a normal tx (one input, 2 outputs) is less than 10 cents. * If the fee is identical in USD for multiple coins you may be trying to withdraw from an exchange. That's not transaction fee (although exchanges my lie to you telling that), it's a withdrawal fee. It covers the transaction fee too, but in most cases it's much more expensive than the transaction fee the network needs. If you want clearer info: start with stating your wallet (so we may know better what the problem is), don't ask here about altcoins (ask about them in altcoins sections) and we may get somewhere. |

It’s a very bullish signal if a board director of a German bank points out what’s important about Bitcoin (education about Bitcoin’s tech, supporting a really decentralized coin (no shitcoins), not your keys not your coins).
Wow, how I almost missed this news! It's wonderful! It's not only that the board director tells about the correct moves, but education is very important. And Germany is a powerful trend setter in Europe, and German banks are spread all over Europe. I wish it work out. It can be the thing, the big change. I'm impressed. |

they definitely have time to setup self-hosted BTCPay.
Yeah, just I expect they only care of fiat, which BitPay will give them without any complications. And since the average Joe doesn't know nor care about all privacy implications, I feel like this is a manifest of trust in Bitcoin, hence an extra point for Bitcoin. So I agree with OP: it's a good move. |

Would anyone care to help me test it?
I will hopefully give it a try (with tBTC) if nothing big comes in meanwhile. Imho it would have been better you post the link and more people enter, then you may reward the first 20-25 genuine/new feedback. However, one important point is needed: what's the minimum tBTC one has to have to get to test your platform? |

Note: Another little forum rule is that we should not really post multiple times in a row in the same thread in a short timespan. It’s better to quote multiple extracts into one single post and answer all within a single post. Reporting it to a moderator might also be useful if CryptoCovids doesn't know how to do it. So he really had to understand the rules. Actually reporting it won't help the user, since the best case would be (for a post) that he's notified that it was removed, but he will not be told why. And when a topic is removed the posts are not even notified (I don't know about the first post, but I think that's also not notified). This will make the newbie not understand what has happened, get disappointed and leave. Not OK. One has to learn the ways, comply, become part of the community. Thank you so much, I didn't know that(about Meta and altcoins stuff and also, to remove), as I said I'm a newbie.
While being a newbie doesn't mean you are allowed to do anything (hence that post getting deleted too - keep in mind that the forum deals with tons of spam), you did very good to ask. I have high hopes that you're on the right track. Asking, learning, complying. Good luck and enjoy the ride! |
