Actually thinking about it, charge backs in payments is a thing that's only been done recently. Before then it was trying to get a cashier to honour to your signed receipt or in some cases to give you a receipt in the first place.

Is time locked escrow a thing? I mean sure you can make a transaction that'll broadcast after a certain pint in time in a 2 of 3 multisig but is there an implementation for anything else like this on the bitcoin network? @nc50lc

That's actually another thing I've come across. If a utility firm don't take a payment I owe them, I have a pretty good record so they just ignore it and pick it up next month or the month after and it's probably the same for a lot of places.

Companies might just try to land people with larger payments too so they have to pay them interest...

The 10% back might also be to circumvent charge backs on cards or the "pending" transactions cards give.

The point on gift cards is also quite interesting as they've been known to be invalidated by stores in the past so I'm surprised they're still fully in use (the UK Post Office have one that's probably a lot safer to get around this issue). HMV are the last company I know of to just invalidate cards when close to bankruptcy (some guy got arrested over trying to take what was rightfully his too)...

I think this is already don't somewhere in a better way. I know what you mean but here's the problem with your solution: what stops the seller not delivering products and then not returning the funds? What stops the buyer not putting the funds through and just leaving them stuck there? You might say there's nothing useful in doing that but some people just scam to prove they can do it...

The working alternative to all of this is 2 of 3 escrow but then that can be limited by social engineering.

Yeah I think it got stuck trying to install the dependencies and I got stuck because there weren't any tutorials 🤣.

Is it all in the init folder that I need to compile it (or at least directions for compiling it)?

If its going to take 2 hours to get the name of the account no one is going to bother trying to recover it.

If it was hacked, your best bet is to pm an admin with a signed staked address. If they didn't stake an address then there's nothing that can be done. If they did stake an address it's still probably a long shot.

Yes all three are fine as said above as long as its posted in the right sections.

Also, try to make sure you don't have spammers in the compaign, you could use a campaign manager on here for that, as it may harm. Your popularity. You may see better participants by paying in btc as that might be what people register here (bitcointalk) for but you can still pay with alts.

Have you ever installed bitcoin core on alpine? That was what I'd struggled with but I struggled with it on all Linux (until I realised compiled files were in the directory I ran make in normally)... That was the thing I needed the docker for.
And yeah, tbh I have 2 drives that fit that laptop so it might just be easier to switch between them instead.

I'll probably take a look at trying to dual boot over the Christmas break. I don't think I have anything that can't be deleted so it should let me run them both but failing that I'll use 2 hard drives.

Are you dual booted with something (I assume you'd have arch or alpine and then post here with something else)?

Amazon UK seem to have started offering an opportunity to top up an account with funds and then being given a bit extra once it is added to your account.

This might have just been in October when they could get you to top up and store funds there for Christmas or it might still be going now. This is obviously offered because companies can invest the funds deposited into their own operations and generate a better interest for themselves as it was something like 10% being offered. Is this a thing that's always existed with companies or is it new? Any thoughts on whether many systems will be more like this in the future?

Large payments with btc can thus be done in the same way too.

Ahh hi.

I dual booted an old laptop with alpine and Ubuntu but couldnt seem to access the alpine bit (I definitely did it wrong).

The docker stuff still seems really confusing I might have to turn to the 700mb debian os (without the desktop) to try to bypass that (I'm thinking dockers might slow everything down when trying to run core - other than that I've been happily live booting alpine when I have programming to do and then saving it to a drive once it's done which is great because its really fast!)

No old legacy blocks are still compatible now.

Version numbers aren't used anymore since asicboosy use them to get a faster block hash so you should be able to mine legacy or empty blocks (with just a coinbase) without them being rejected.

Hmmm does this pick up past edits too then? Are you able to make the bot find a username and assign the used addresses to it in that thread once signature is verified (that'd be cool)!?

Found the link to your thread how far back does the bot go through? Is it like the last 5-20 pages?

Trying this again? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174822.msg52140591#msg52140591

Yeah I agree with Carlton here. The segwit soft fork meant that legacy blocks are still accepted after the fork but this doesn't work the other way... From what I can tell the signed part of segwit transactions just get ignored by full nodes before v13 and they just take the 150 byte transactions (as an example from the standard size) because the longest chain is running with them (and there isn't a reasonable rival).

---

@op why do you not want to mine segwit txs, anyway yes they won't be segwit compliment if the coinbase pays to legacy but you're also not doing much to help the network by confirming transactions if you just pass in your own.

Segwit compliant blocks still have coinbase transactions. You might have to adapt more of the protocol for the block to be mined and check what info it needs including in a block (most coins will tell you this in their code or on a wiki).

Oh no! Loyce is addicted now 🤣!

Here you go:

Yeah I can't wait for electrum to come out with the customisable push amount too...

Edit: received thanks!

Ohhh I don't recognise that site. I know ln blackjack and lightning roulette?

Funds sent, let's see how you do!

Is there evidence to support this?

Transactions I sent using native segwit as a 1 in 1 out still are around 140 bytes, legacy was about 255... Its nice but its not quite 4x? (unless I'm looking at the wrong part of the transaction)?

Not sure if this is trolling or not because surely you can search for this.

1. Blocks aren't actually being filled. I've just looked at the last 8 and they range from 0.8 to 0.95 mb... Plenty of room for extra transactions.

If you want lower fees and faster confs, I'd recommend litecoin (for exchange to exchange transit and sending funds to yourself).

Decreasing the 10 minutes to 5 would make the chain less secure and may incur more orphaning. People will then probably want 12 confirms instead of 6 anyway it makes it more likely we'll have empty blocks and have the readjust all of the fee structures too. People are going to lose hope if they're not getting the full reward (especially solominers).

What is it you're using bitcoin for?

Back now, got this thread on notify!
