Thank you!

Probabil ca nu prea are sens sa investeasca in minat recreational, dar priza cu protectie cam trebuie la casa omului (in caz ca tabloul nu e super destept), indiferent daca minezi sau nu.
Eu mi-am bagat prin prize cu protectie cam tot ce misca, de la RasPi si comp la masina de spalat si frigider.
Eu folosesc in mare parte produse APC SurgeArrest, ca atunci cand le-am luat nu erau asa multe produse pe piata si asta mi-a fost recomandat; acum exista si variante mai ieftine - nu stiu daca la fel de bune.

In the summer of 2021 Google had issues. And not only with Bitcointalk. At that point it was bad. It was so bad as DuckDuckGo was needed to fill the gaps.
Now it's better, but I don't know if it's "fully recovered".

So for your question... I could say that the answer is not absolute. Probably it's again a "no", but that's for the moment (I don't know what will they do in a hour or a year) and also the gap is not longer as big as in the past (still I would be more comfortable if it would be even smaller than it is).

OK, so the main wallet is still safe. Good. Before acting at all, you should start by checking if the coins weren't already moved away by the hacker.
In the main wallet do 2 things:

0. This is a safety measure. If you didn't do this, please copy the seed of the main (newer) wallet onto a piece of paper.
1. Open it as usual, get an address (receive tab, new address)
2. In this wallet do File->New/Restore, name it like OLD BAD WALLET so you know not to use it normally
3. From the old computer - it doesn't matter it doesn't connect - get the seed (bottom-right, there's a seed button) and use it for restoring on the new computer [continue what you started at step 2]
4. From this restored old bad wallet send the funds to the address from step 1 and you're done. (Always double check addresses when sending).

If at starting Electrum you get into this "old bad wallet", don't worry, use File->Recently Open and get the other wallet (possibly default_wallet). And if it doesn't work, you still have your seed so you should be fine.

It was - by far - too good to be true. It had all the red flags... Sorry...
On the other hand, it's good that you made this topic. Somehow they are still too few if people keep falling for this kind of scams. So yep, I hope that as many newbies as possible read it.
And you... consider yourself lucky, since it was only 50$ you've lost, unpleasant but not a big amount... You've figured it up early, some lose thousands and then some even pay more to "unlock the funds" (a second, related scam).

From what I know, if the account is on the same name (i.e. yours) on Revolut and Bitstamp, you can withdraw fiat from selling crypto. I don't know though whether there are any limitations.
And while Revolut is not a bank, indeed, they use banks' services and offer account number, maybe numbers - which may be even from different banks, one for EUR and one for local currency.

While I agree that the declarations are meant to be beneficial for her banking friends, not necessarily to reflect the reality, at least in theory it is possible a state - especially a dictatorship - act like a whale, manipulate the price and gather wealth through crypto markets.


People were crying in 2017-2018 for more regulation in crypto, especially because they've got too greedy and got scammed.
Now the regulations are getting real and they obviously mean also more surveillance and less privacy.

The fact the politicians keep telling this is to show that they've been thinking at fixing a problem as they see it (i.e. they did work, didn't sit for nothing), I don't think that it's that much (any longer) about bashing bitcoin.
Nice picture though

That's correct. Just the truckers quitting may halt the movement of many goods - see what has happened in UK - and they're quite powerful.
But you're right, people from far too many fields are quitting. It doesn't look good at all.
Will this trigger a real crisis? Maybe. And I don't see any other solution than opening the borders widely - then there will be a huge influx of people who will want to get those jobs and do whatever it's needed to get them. Of course, I can't realistically expect that to happen.



The technology is not as good as advertised. Not yet. They can't do this so soon and at such a scale. Not yet.

Then I guess that I should not expect them be better than Google , still, may give it a try, thanks for the idea.

Sad day...
... Sir Frank Williams has passed away....

Rest in peace Sir Frank

I kinda doubt this. While in 2017 the ATH was indeed in December, wasn't the 2013 ATH in November? So maybe the rule should be "in the last months of the year", not necessarily December...

I would also add that this overlaps with the day CME Bitcoin futures expire, hence one of the days the price drops anyway.
The fear related to COVID and that fall of stocks has probably amplified today's dump.

Not again...

For me it's 4th, but since the problems Google search had with Bitcointalk in May, I've got disappointed by Google. And DuckDuckGo is not actually better - it made me miss other results.

Lately if I want to search something related to Bitcointalk I just use https://ninjastic.space/search
It works best.

It may be related to the fact that API keys from not whitelisted addresses expire after 30 days and get automatically checked at that point.
Please read and see if this was the problem in your case: https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/cda0a4b53da04396b5d27881e93abf78

I would not be surprised. It's probably not the first time and it may also be one of the reasons Eric Blandin is leaving.
No matter how good pilot Lewis is, the performance from Brazil wouldn't be possible without a car much better than everybody's. And the difference (in performance) from the car from just one week before was... big.

S-ar putea sa ma insel, dar impresia mea este ca e un singur premiu, constand din toate acele "obiecte".
Varianta II ar fi ca va face mai multe extrageri consecutive, pentru fiecare obiect in parte.



Am ratat-o complet pe asta... Na, nu sunt nici eu in continuu cu ochii pe posibile tombole. Da, probabil ca ar fi fost interesanta, dar ce sa-i faci? Noi sa fim sanatosi

Nu mi-am amintit, dar am cautat mai cu folos
Cred ca te refereai la PremiumPay - Masini, imobiliare, vacante platite cu crypto
Din pacate nu am nicio informatie despre persoane care sa fi folosit cu succes serviciile PremiumPay, asa ca recomand prudenta si, cine le foloseste serviciile, sa ne zica si noua daca sunt seriosi si cam pe unde li se invarte comisionul.

First thing to say is that this would belong to Speculation and maybe it would be a good idea you move this topic there.
Second, many TA people on twitter say that we had a falling wedge and the breakout is starting.

Although there were quite some loud signals to spread fear - unrealistic (imho) expectations on the MtGox bitcoins getting returned fast and dumped, the fake news about Bitcoin ban in India - the expectations from the price are high. Far too many expect 100k. And with the electricity getting more expensive in many areas of the world, I expect Bitcoin price will rise.

But I will be fair: I don't know what's next. Bitcoin price loves to go up-and-down-and-up-and-down-again.

They're not idiots, they're just evil. Sorry, had to say this.
And I don't want to imply that the others would be idiots; I guess that they just don't care - there are far too many businesses that work under the "principle": if the money flows, why bother?

It's interesting that they do this, I didn't know. I would have been expecting them also in the "why bother" team. It looks like they're one more step in front of the competition. I really hope a proper Bitcoin payment processor will emerge and fast. One that is smart and also not evil.



Back to OP: reversible transactions help one side, irreversible transactions help the other side. It's still a good feature, not a weakness imho; I find it more normal that when a transaction is done, it's 100% done.
Fiat is also not reversible per se, it's just intermediaries who made it so.
