No, the 1st, second and third transactions broadcast a while ago and the third confirmed a month ago (I'm not sure what address I sent them to).

When you double spend a transaction, the higher fee one gets sent and the rest get removed (I have coninsidentally double spent that one too because the others were too low).

I can't work out why none of my unconfirmed transactions show on btc.com though which was my problem (blockchair's site takes longer to load because it's in more detail).

(My issue is, since I double spent a transaction, my address no longer seems to get recognised with unconfirmed transactions on btc.com and I'm trying to work out if this is because I've double spent it or not)...

Most countries' governments use cash so they also directly advocate for money laundering (since it's virtually impossible to track cash)?

Mixers allow you to anonymise yourself, not everyone who is using them is laundering money and you'd be stupid to just use a mixer on it's own to launder money (you should come up with something more advanced if you are).

Yeah, I sent those a while ago and now whenever I got here: https://btc.com/bc1qdj5v2q8p398rdy6sexc0fapk4hcq0p54xz56ez

It only shows transactions that have confirmed and not anything in the mempool. It's really annoying for trying to work out whether I've sent coins to the right address.

I was running tests a couple of weeks ago sending some bitcoins to someone else's adress to see how the rbf double spend system works.

I double spent a transaction thrice (once with a really low fee that woulnd't confirm, once with a higher fee that would but back to myself and once again to the other person but with rbf disabled)...

I didn't expect the second one to work and anticipated the funds would end up with them but they came back to me and replaced that transaction... after then I don't seem to be able to see my transactions on block explorers until they confirm, has anyone else experienced this?

The test was because someone said I could reverse a transaction I sent to them before it had confirmed and I didn't think it was that easy so I fancied testing it...

It is weird, I was trying to send a payment today and had the slider on 25 blocks and it predicted 1.1 sat per byte, within the next block it was hundredfold at about 100 sat per byte...

If you send a 1 sat per byte transaction now, it'll likely clear within six hours.

Actually ChipMixer produces their own ssl keys. If you go to their site and click the padlock logo at the top you'll see it is issued by let's encrypt. Which is an open source ssl certificate generator...

ChipMixer is busy, I doubt they have the time to give you an update on the architecture of there server and the choice of making the site clearnet and onion.

How are you so sure they got everyone's data, they might have just come across the insecure ones or maybe they didn't have a fully robust system of dummy data (I. E they weren't repeatedly adding to it so it looked like an out of date dataset).

Most intelligence agencies won't bother with the server unless they know how to access the information from it.

A lot of companies will use unencrypted and encrypted dummy data and then encrypt the actual data so it would be too hard to tell what's what unless the owner were sat at the monitor and unlocking the right database... Most companies then put a self destruct in the database program too...

If bitblender got shut down its clear that their way of doing things wasn't very good with the clearnet and tor hybrid...

Making this topic and making a flag is probably what he wants. Don't feed the trolls!

I doubt he's lost you any earnings and provably won't do since he's not dt and it's a random trust. He also didn't state he lost any money or anything with you directly in the trust.

There are different types of self employment imo.

1. Business owners
2. Freelancers
3. Mlm partakers

The issue with self employment being overlooked is thst too many people are on the base of an mlm pyramid and only earning a bit every month that isn't much.

Business owners (including innovators) do quite well but they generally require other cogs in the machine and need workers. Most people don't see a point in saving money and trying to move 9n as they're happy where they are.

Freelancers are probably my favourite type of people who are generally skilled enough to take on other people's jobs. But sometimes you get freelancers that do very little (and some do too much that they can't keep up with the load they have to do to keep up their reputation).

Send the coins late at night and go to sleep straight afterwards...

Check it's on block explorers too like blockchair or btc.com...

I just get issues with any size of transaction I send. With $250 I'm still thinking I've sent it to the wrong place until I'm proven otherwise...

Bitcoin realistically can't be made illegal in the UK...

I faced a tiny issue with a bank and using cryptocurrency, to which I just switched banks.

Wherever bitcoin becomes illegal it seems to start to become worth more than it did before so all they'd be doing is stoking the fire. And like in a video jet cash posted recently, there's bitcoin with a market cap of £100bn and a currency with a market cap of £45trillion, who are people going to use for money laundering if they need to shift high amounts?

I don't like a lot of the CFD companies based here nor the banks so I don't see an issue with them making it illegal. I also thought a load of people hated bitmex here anyway?

Bitocin has increased in dominance because more popel know about it existing.

Hold in if you have any eth as it seems to be hugging the $200 point quite well now (you could try to sell and buy back for less in btc value to increase your amount of eth but I don't think we'll fall much further).

Remember to use ssl connections to the api server so people can't scan for your api keys and don't store too much of your users funds on hot wallets. Generally something small enough to replace should be put in wallets like this (such as 10% of your users' funds/earnings - just in case someone manages to gain access to the keys).

I think that's quite doubtful.
Satoshi was never in power in a government, he probably didnt care what people did with the currency and just offered something they built to the community.

Bitcoin fees are a bit like a tax (as much as inflation is a hidden tax in currency) but that's all e really have afaik.

If you think bitcoin will go higher, it's worth paying taxes now rather than paying huge fines in the future for not doing so...

You're not going to do this easily.

The first issue is that even if everything is deleted from here you still have everything on archive sites anyway (the wayback machine seems to back everything up twice a month - everything that can be publicly scraped that is)...

There'll be something in SMF but I don't think admins delete accounts anyway now. If you really want to start again, you're better off just making a new account.

You can't pay tax in bitcoin and it would be stupid for companies to collect it so no that certainly isn't blockchain.com. (you generally pay taxes on fiat equivelant though).

Check the site you've been using too and I'd suggest moving your coins somewhere else (perhaps electrum.org) electrum is my preferred wallet, its lightweight and adaptable.

To sign an rbf transaction, you don't have to support it. You can merely flick a zero to a one and sign the new value (rbf is literally one byte if you check the bitcoin wiki spec). It makes more sense to sign it as an rbf if not just for debugging purposes.

Doesn't core automatically expire transactions after 7 days or sonething (or it used to)?

---

On online trezor are they marked rbf by default, if not we should suggest that?

If so, it's really easy to connect hardware to mycelium as it scans all 3 derivation paths so you can use segwit and legacy...

My love for ARM remains.

Out of Intel and amd, Intel is generally more reliable. Anyone I know who's competent with computers and has used amd always say its not very good. I don't think speed is everything, faster clockspeeds often mean less efficiency and more instability (even undervolted).

Generally in financial crises people start to pull out of investments in order to fund other things.

I'm not sure if everything falling means bitcoin may rise by staying stagnant against other currencies, maybe that will be the case, certainly some alts might do quite well (particularly medium capped ones like dash and ltc) as I see low value altcoins being axed much less than bitcoin if bitcoin starts to drop (but that's just my opinion). We may see a load of people new to the space trying to quicly get into bitcoin also (and they might mistakingly go to bitcoin.com and buy the bad coin)...

Being 2019 now we seem to be overdue another crash, the last two were 7 years apart which means we're either becoming more stable (again) or easier to fool...
