541  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Managing witness with bitcoin-cli to a valid transaction from rawtransaction on: December 16, 2023, 03:48:51 PM
Make sure UTXOs have spendable funds in it.

To get list of all available spendable UTXOs use 'listunspent' in the command console.

To create Raw transaction, Use 'createrawtransaction ' command and make sure scriptPubKey provided are correct for each UTXO.

Code:
./bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=MY_WALLET createrawtransaction "[{\"txid\":\"tx_id_1\",\"vout\": 0, \"scriptPubKey\":\"Script_1\"}, {\"txid\":\"tx_id_2\",\"vout\": 1, \"scriptPubKey\":\"Script_2\"}, {\"txid\":\"tx_id_3\",\"vout\": 1, \"scriptPubKey\":\"Script_3\"}]" "{\"recipient_address\": amount, \"change_address\": change}"

To Sign Raw transaction, use 'signrawtransactionwithwallet'

Code:
./bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=MY_WALLET signrawtransactionwithwallet "hex_of_raw_transaction"

After Signing, verify the signed transaction by 'decoderawtransaction' command.

Code:
./bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=MY_WALLET decoderawtransaction "signed_hex_transaction"

Now Broadcast your transaction

Code:
./bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=MY_WALLET sendrawtransaction "signed_hex_transaction"



To get your private key in bitcoin core, use 'dumpprivkey' followed by the respective address
542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading! on: December 16, 2023, 02:25:16 PM

With gambling, you chose on who to bet when to bet , once you do you you wait for the outcome at a fixed time!
With trading you chose your pair coins, you have to wait for the price to reach what you think it's an entry point and then set limits , watch the damn numbers even for days, even if you cash out in profit there can always be a regret you haven't kept the position opened.

So prove me wrong (if you think I am), what am I missing?


It's all about our perspective,

About sports betting my perspective contradicts completely with yours because if I bet on something it adds a bit more extra pressure in the back of my mind which can ruin the experience of watching the game, we just expect all the time the result should be in the favor of our side even if the bet amount is negligible because that's the common psychology of human we don't really like to lose.

Trading, we get to choose to be feel relaxed if we don't rush things and long-term trading is no stress once we fix how much our target price to be and open the trade and wait until it hits it which could be days or weeks but we know what is going to be the outcome of it. Cheesy
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I ask for refund if casino game has bugs? on: December 16, 2023, 07:49:18 AM
I have never seen a case when casino called player for a refund because slot had bugs. What happens if you think that slot has bugs and that's why you lose?

Well, it's not possible to prove that the game has some bug that is why you lost it means you will never be able to make such allegations but there are incidents where the casino balance drained to zero with no history of bets and switched to max bet amount even though the user doesn't click it particularly and such kind of allegations we can see even on bitcointalk but the legitimacy is questionable so it always goes in the favour of casino unless the user has concrete evidence to back his allegations.
544  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Should i change my BTC Wallet Address ? on: December 15, 2023, 05:47:26 PM
AFAIK, Sinbad's signature campaign escrow address has been added in the blacklist so any addresses come in contact with may have a problem maybe not now but in a month or even after six months your exchange freeze account if you deposited even once to the exchange's address from your address which used to receive any funds from flagged address.

Can i continue using the same BTC address, as it was an Electrum address and not directly a binance deposit address  Huh

Exchanges and casinos always stay vigilant to prevent money launderers from abusing the platforms so even if you swap to 10 different addresses before you deposit funds to your Binance account, they know it.

Change your address ASAP.
545  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger library possibly compromised on: December 15, 2023, 04:06:26 PM
But I believe the exploit didn't drain as much wallets as expected. Because if it did, many Ethereum/EVM chain users in BitcoinTalk would be starting many topics for complaining and scam accusations. Cool
The expected loss is around 500K until now but we don't know yet the real value and if I am not wrong many of the owners even don't know yet that their compromise but the Tether address is blacklisted and others we will never be able to recover or identify the attackers.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you wrap up your gambling session? on: December 15, 2023, 02:39:53 PM
Have you wrapped up every session you mean you allocate specific hours on your session and to hit the hour where you should log off you made a wrap-up of your session even though you still have a huge bankroll like you spend 30 minutes wrapping up your bets.
I usually spend 20 minutes going down to my excitement level so when I log out I feel more relaxed

How about you do you wrap up your sessions and how many minutes or hours and do you think it's ok to do a wrap-up?

I bet with no specific time criteria or bet amount, it all will be just random and I could wrap up after one bet or it could go on for a long streak, I never try to go hard on the bankroll, if I don't want to bet and still got balance I might considering maxing the bet or just let it how it is and come back when I want to bet again with a top up or just clear the balance without depositing anything.

So after mixers got banned, there will be a need to fill their empty space, soon we shall see new casinos coming in to play to compete with current services,

There will be no void to fill unless the money launderers decide to use KYCed casino for their laundering service just because mixers are banned from the forum and I don't see the relation as well between casino and mixer. But about the competition for the spot, it will be right on that may be a good thing which doesn't mean new casinos will emerge just to recruit the quality posters of bitcointalk.

But some pages are not loading or take more time than usual but homepage is still the one facing attack so it is not coming up no matter how many times refreshing it.

Edit: Homepage is working too.

549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Target your wins in a series of bets on: December 14, 2023, 05:29:06 PM

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.


There shouldn't be any expectations at all because even 4/10 is unlikely to become possible in the consistent then it will lead to the same effect and fall into the disappointment and will keep going on the loop.

If you want to stay away from disappointment then expecting a zero/10 bets is the best way so even if you win one you're achieved more than you expected that will be a good way to manage and if you do not feel like winning then there is no shame in quitting.

Ledger claims that they removed the malicious file.



Link to twitter post

Attackers have managed to compromise a significant number of libraries by targeting just the connect-kit. Ledger identifies version 1.1.4 as the last known safe release but considers all releases up to 1.1.7, posted on the day of the attack, as compromised.

Ledger ConnectKit Library Compromised with a Drainer, Posing Security Risks to Web3 Apps

Ledger is already messed up a lot and now one more to add in that list.

Feel relieved to know that I am not the only one who is facing the issue. Because last time there is similar kind of situation that occured only for me.

Well, I am getting two kinds of errors one is " the service is unavailable" as others mentioned and another one is



Hope the problem will be resolved sooner.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: December 14, 2023, 06:36:27 AM
Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

Both are different kinds of experiences and there is no reason that has to be only one of the above two.

Personally, if you ask me then watching the game without a bet is the best possible way to get the experience of the game while betting it will add just an extra pressure which gives a different experience but I don't want to take too much stress while some people do.

1. How can the transaction process be optimized for maximum security?
2. What metrics are available for measuring transactions?
3. Which wallet is the best to safeguard my funds and ward off con artists and hackers?

1. Bitcoin transaction itself is irreversible so you can consider a transaction with 1 confirmation as funds received.

2. Bitcoin transactions and their fees are based on the weight not on the value of your transaction which depends on the number of inputs/UTXO and number of outputs and what kind of address like legacy, Segwit, Taproot. You may get better understanding if you read the reply I quoted.

Legacy addresses starts from 1
Nested segwit starts from 3 (although not only nested segwit starts from 3)
Segwit version 0 starts from bc1q
Segwit version 1 starts from bc1p (pay-to-taproot)

This is the formula necessary for the calculation:

Formula:
For legacy address: vbyte= Input*148 + output*34 + 10 plus or minus input
For nested segwit: vbyte= Input*93 + output*32 + 10 plus or minus input
For segwit version 0: vbyte= Input*68 + output*31 + 10 plus or minus input
For pay-to-taproot: vbyte= Input*57.5 + output*43 + 10 plus or minus input


To know more about the input and output virtual size: https://bitcoinops.org/en/tools/calc-size/
To know more about the transaction virtual size: https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-transaction-size-calculator/
For mempool (beginners): https://mempool.space/
Mempool for advanced users: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),24h,weight


3. Electrum on an air-gapped device will be my suggestion but you can also go for open sourced Hardware wallets.
554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll! on: December 13, 2023, 04:14:44 PM
Your take is, it's not an investment because you don't believe there sports bettor out there who are consistently making profit with sports betting? Or it's just your way of sending warning to gamblers that we will just likely lose so don't try?


Compared to casino games, someone can have a high success rate in sports betting but in games with obvious results the odds are not going to be that big so you only make very less reward from your bet amount whereas if underdog beats the favorite then you might end up losing the reward of 10 of similar games so even with 10:1 the profit can be literally zero.

And myself more of a casino guy, just gamble and flee away because more time I spend the chances of getting deep into it high which I don't want to do and sport betting on games could add more pressure and enjoy the entertaining factor of that game in my opinion.
555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Cash App reversal bitcoin transaction stuck HELP PLEASE on: December 13, 2023, 07:58:14 AM
TX ID.          cca62e5153e7de27861d1524732872aa88402e4c88eb9350471896ed81e70aa4

They automatically attached a super low fee. I had no choice or control over over it. Can someone please accelerate my transaction?

This is the third case about cash app in the last two weeks for the same issue but unfortunately, you can't do anything unless are willing to pay about estimated cost of $22 to 25 for the transaction via mempool paid acceleration service but considering the transacted value it doesn't worth it.

Just wait and hope it confirms or TX gets purged by nodes.
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll! on: December 13, 2023, 06:09:39 AM
I know there are bettors here who dream of investing in sports betting and hoping to consistently make money from it.

So, I'd like to ask the following questions:

1. How much bankroll can you afford to start with?

2. With your bankroll, how much expected profit do you anticipate in a year?

3. Will you be content with your profit? If not, have you considered increasing your bankroll, even if you cannot afford it?

With all these questions, all I can imagine is you see sports betting as similar to investment which is not.

I don't really play to bet on sports like that and myself rarely bet on sports and it will be only for short for specific game(s) and win or lose just celebrate and then move on.
557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: receiving lightning with electrum and transfer fees on: December 13, 2023, 04:58:40 AM
So I have a few questions:

1) Do I need to have a standing amount of btc in electrum when I will only use it to receive lightning transfers only? (all sending will be done using main BTC network not lightning)

2) how much do I need if so, and does it always need to stay above that level (will I need to keep topping up)

3) If I do have to have BTC in electrum wallet to receive lightning transfers, would that mean to get the initial  BTC into electrum I will need to use standard BTC network transfer? (and so pay coinspot $37 fee once at least to get started)

4) am I right in saying that setting my own fees for transfers from the electrum to private wallet using main network will prevent me paying huge .00048 xfer fees? Mempool seemed to suggest around $6USD in btc would likely take 10 minutes so I could manually set my fee there to mempool recommendation for ~10 minute xfer rather than .00048 BTC?


1. You don't necessarily need to have a standing balance in your LN channel to receive funds via LN, the funds in your on-chain wallet can't be incorporated with LN unless you load it to your channel so both are separate things and the balance can be zero.

2. There is no fixed amount and the channel capacity is a combination of both total inbound and outbound which is nothing but the funds that you load initially while opening the channel. You can't receive more than your inbound capacity and if you want then you need to close the existing channel and open a new one with higher capacity.

3. To create LN you need BTC, so either you pay 37 dollars or buy from another source and funds the wallet then open LN.

4. Electrum allows customization of fees so you can set whatever fee you want if you are the sending party.



As far as I researched coinspot, the exchange you are talking about doesn't support LN deposits and withdrawals so LN doesn't come into the context of paying $37 or whatever fee they charge for withdrawal.

558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: First winning can be a trap on: December 11, 2023, 11:15:45 AM
The true trap set up by casinos is the deposit bonuses, which are pleasing to the eye and will engage new users to deposit in their casino and play. That is the real trap. But the thing is, the person itself is the trap; the emotion, their decision-making, is affected by their emotion. For example, if they feel lucky, the excitement of their first time playing a gambling game, or, as I said earlier, the "ego" and the desire to earn money are what make them gamble more.

It is their way of encouraging people to use their platform which can't be considered as a trap as long as the player is using it wisely and not just get caught up in the action and forget their track record of win and loss.

Being greedy will never do anything good for us but its acceptable until certain level cause no one has to give up fantasizing something from their reality but if they think it will become true then its wrong and its the first step of their dead trap and the casinos can't be blamed for that cause the user has the responsibility of knowing the circumstances.
559  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Hardware Wallets, Open Sourcing, and Firmware on: December 11, 2023, 09:51:49 AM
how to effectively carry out this verification and scrutiny process and any other thing I should know about this?

If you want to manually scrutinize the source code of firmware then you need to have a deep understanding of cryptography, and programming skills and you need to go through all the codes by yourself to find out is there any vulnerability is present in the provided code. If you know then probably know how to do that so I just assume that you haven't so just rely on the community feedback about the code.
560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: First winning can be a trap on: December 11, 2023, 08:13:55 AM
The first attempt of gambling by anyone that the result comes out to be a win can be a trap if one is not careful and conscious. Have noticed people who plays gambling on their first attempt and win thinks gambling is very easy because they were lucky to have a win in the first attempt,  whenever it happens like this with beginners they still want to play  more and as they continue it is just a simple strategy to lose all they won in their first attempt,  it is important new gamblers shouldn't tricked to play more expecting to continue to have more wins.

Not everyone's first bet turns out to be a win necessarily and it's just a myth based on the beginner's luck and casinos are not really doing anything to make them win their first win to call it as a trap but the person itself can be considered it as a trap if they are not aware of the gambling activities and still continues to gamble with the money that he is not willing to lose and only trying it to maximize the rewards by betting.
