5402  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAmWATCH] Fxtrademax.com Is Fake Site on: March 13, 2021, 07:14:23 PM
Fxtrademax is a scam site with copyright of over 50 websites contents. They are not traders so do not trust them.
Even if they are traders, they should not be trusted. 9% daily profit is too high, it seemed more that it is a scam, but what greedy no experienced newbies may fall for, but this scam is obvious not to believe. I prefer to use legit sites like binance which have less than 2% annual profit for bitcoin but in a way it will be calculated and be given daily than fake ones.
5403  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brainwallets with wallet addresses as a passphrase on: March 13, 2021, 07:03:09 PM
You have misunderstood what is going on here. A brainwallet is generally created by taking the SHA256 of any arbitrary data or string, and using that 256 bit output as a private key. They are incredibly insecure and widely recommended against. In the cases that OP has quoted, people have taken an existing address, hashed it, used the output as a private key, and calculated a new address based on this private key.
I have just gotten this right, this is just bad enough, I have not created brain wallet before, even to create a wallet I will go for paper wallet in this case or most preferably use the HD wallet. The wallet most not suggested to be used are brain wallets.

At least you need to have the wallet file or the seed phrase or the private key, if part of the seed phrase is lost that will be better as some recovery service will help you out. But when you have nothing that can help to recover your wallet, I think you need to know the recovery is impossible. Do not believe anyone that will tell you he can still recover the wallet for you because the person will just scam you.

It is not possible for posts to be deleted without members being informed, if moderators want to delete post, a message will be sent to user's email to notify him, also immediately he will got a notification message on his account on this forum about it. But there are some reasons moderators will not send notification or email, if the user is a shitposter, he will just be banned and his post will all be deleted as it has not usefulness.
5406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on exchange tokens? on: March 13, 2021, 06:21:17 PM
There are not more than 400 to 500 exchanges that are legit, out of them, the better ones will better be followed, if you check coingecko, you will be able to see the lists of exchanges according to their trading volume, the best ones are on the top of the list, you can research if the top exchanges have coins or tokens, like the binance which have BNB, exchanges like huobi also have its own coin and some like that. But exchanges with low trading volume, better not to go for their coins or tokens as it is risky.
5407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brainwallets with wallet addresses as a passphrase on: March 13, 2021, 06:14:55 PM
This does not look like passphrase, it looks like a bitcoin address that start from 1 called legacy addresses, two also start from 3 which is the compatibility segwit. Sharing these to public does not have any effect on your wallet, what must not be shared are private keys because it will be used to take away all your bitcoin, the public key should not also be shared because it will let people to know all your transaction history if it is master public key.
5408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Zcash an underestimated cryptocurrency? on: March 12, 2021, 04:03:50 PM
BTC tx are not private. They are public while with privacy coins like XMR, ZEC, you can have tx which info isn’t public. You can hide amount or you can hide sender addresses with privacy coins.
I used to know these coins as privacy coins. May be I'm wrong.
Do not get me wrong, nobody says bitcoin transaction is not available to the public, the bitcoin blockchain database is available to the public. You need to know the difference between privacy coins and anonymous coins. Bitcoin is a privacy coin, you can not link the owner to the bitcoin they have but you can only track the bitcoin on blockchain, while anonymous coins makes the tracking not possible.

That is why we need to make all possible steps towards privacy like mixing and coinjoing and knowing ways to spend bitcoin privately without it linked to out personal identity. And know that if terrorists, money launderers and other online criminals start to know about these anonymous coins, the use of it will increase.
5409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Zcash an underestimated cryptocurrency? on: March 12, 2021, 03:52:34 PM
There are two other ones I know, Dash
Dash privacy features isn’t better than Bitcoin. That’s what have been said officially by Dash twitter although I didn’t check much about Dash privacy features. I can't remember if they are using some privacy option like ZEC and XMR.
Quote
From a technical standpoint, Dash’s privacy functionality is no greater than Bitcoin’s, making the label of “privacy coin” a misnomer for Dash. We have reached out to @BittrexExchange to request a meeting with their compliance team. Hopefully this will be rectified soon.

I hope you read all my comments, did I mention Dash is private more than Bitcoin? No.

Not privacy feature, it is anonymity feature,  bitcoin is private enough.
5410  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where's the altcoin bull on: March 12, 2021, 03:37:32 PM
Few old projects have made the ATH, like enj, doge, bnb, eth but most of the old projects are still far away from the ATH.
Older projects also increased in price very well, but truly new ones increased more. But altcoins that are millions of dollars before in marketcap are now billions of dollars, including the old ones.

Can we call the current situation bullrun for altcoin?
There was a time bitcoin did not increase after the initial increase but altcoins were increasing at the time so significantly, such time is called altcoin season. Later bitcoin also increase as the altcoins were increasing, if you study the market very well, you will notice and it was obvious.

So, when are we having altcoin bull where altcoin will be outperforming bitcoin? Or no more such things happening at all?
Answered, but in addition, know that no coin is stagnant.
5411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Zcash an underestimated cryptocurrency? on: March 12, 2021, 03:30:04 PM
It has all of the goodness of the original Bitcoin (21 million coin supply, PoW, etc.) but with added privacy.
A coin that has zero knowledge proof that can not be tracked on blockchain, I can well use it to mix my bitcoin if I have plenty of bitcoin.

If we take into account Zcash's limited supply and built-in privacy features
Not privacy feature, it is anonymity feature,  bitcoin is private enough.

What are your thoughts about Zcash?
There are two other ones I know, Dash and Monero, if the price of one of these coins is rising, I noticed other two follows as they are the most common anonymous coin existing.

5412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies will be around in 10 years and why? on: March 12, 2021, 10:58:03 AM
XRP because if it is adopted by banks, despite having billions of coins, could become a mainstream tool for banks, etc.
If ripple lose to US lawsuit filed against ripple CEO, just leave it, ripple can not be that strong, though will still be existing. Also there are rise in approaching CBDC, if this is finally used by countries like China (Reminbi called digital Yuan) and USA (Digital Dollar), many other countries will join and the sole reason to use ripple which belongs to fake CEO will not be necessary.

The coins I know will still be existing are the decentralized ones like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, and of such. There wi be many more cryptocurrencies that would have being created also in addition to the thousands of existing ones.
5413  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tether tokens go live on Ethereum competitor Solana blockchain on: March 12, 2021, 10:50:45 AM
I also read about this yesterday, but what I do not yet know is that will the fee be cheap if Solana blockchain is used for tether storage and usage? It is clear that ethereum blockchain is very expensive, a reason I do not use tether for transaction on exchanges as it is even more expensive than or almost like bitcoin transaction fee. Also I will like to know if Solana blockchain is secure and safe to use?

It will be good to have a way tether can be used on a blockchain that is not susceptible to 51% attack and also in which low fee will be used with fast processing time.
5414  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Basic Of Escrow System; Q&A by Satoshi on: March 12, 2021, 10:29:28 AM
No. Giving a third party that is trusted by both the full control of the coin is far safer than 2-of-2 multisig escrow. It's far more plausible for scammers to hold the coins hostage in this case as they'll have nothing to lose while the escrow is putting his reputation on the line. 2-of-3 could be better provided if the thirdparty is not colluding with either of them, if they are then self escrow would make it as good as a third party holding it.
Definitely there must be a middle man for escrow, if no middle man like I have explained, it will be difficult, there will be some people that will just want to wicked someone. There are some stupid people that will just want to make someone cry and depressed, they can even accept a request that they want to sell but of which having nothing, all they want is to make sure the buyer lose, the buyer will lock the bitcoin in escrow, the fake seller will only be happy the buyer has lost. Someone you know but which its identity not linked can do such a thing to wicked someone. The advantage of 2-of-3 is when seller has sold, the third party will be able to release the bitcoin if the buyer fail to release the coin, while the buyer will not release the coin if the seller do not sell anything. But, it still has disadvantage, if the buyer already have the bitcoin in escrow, while the seller do not sell anything, the coin will still burn in 2-of-3 while the buyer will lose, in this case, the seller can plan with the third party that he is not sending anything, that if he release the bitcoin, that he will give him certain percentage, although, the third party may not release the bitcoin as he know the seller will also scam him, but the buyer already lose as the coin will be burned which makes it not perfect enough.
5415  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Bitcoins not showing up in wallet on: March 12, 2021, 09:45:30 AM
The bitcoin is sent already, it should appear as confirmed on electrum wallet. Hope the address is correct, you will need to check if you have not sent the bitcoin to a wrong address. Another thing is to make sure you wallet is syncing with the blockchain. Another thing is that you should make sure you are using the latest version of electrum wallet.
5416  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Online Wallet Recovery Services on: March 11, 2021, 07:02:03 PM
I have never used any seed recovery service before but there is a service available for recovering your lost seed, his name is NotATether, although he charges 10% of what's in the wallet and have some terms and conditions to follow. You can contact him here on his service thread.

[BETA] GPU password/seed recovery server | 10% commission | Vanity addy gen
This recovery service can be good but it is temporary, only for 30 days since when he created the thread or will not just last as he borrowed the GPU for other reasons, he just want to use it for recovery service simultaneous to the main purpose.

Members like Dave can be trustworthy too but people should know to try all possible means before using recovery service as remaining part seed phrase, password and such information might be demanded for, the person will not also know if the srecovery works or not until the recovery service says it has work, if it works and the recovery services says it did not work, the bitcoin owner will not know if it works.
5417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "What happens if bitcoin succeeds?" on: March 11, 2021, 06:51:07 PM
The world is of no balance, we should not be afraid of coming outcomes, we should probably proceed because the world is moving to digital world, we like or we do not like. Has the world is going, bitcoin will becoming more decentralized as it is decentralized from the beginning since 2009. Whales are just also will be helpful, institutions are joining, other single whales will have companies and if such will happen as time goes. All those exchange owners, miners manufacturers, wallet producers, did you think they are not whales or ones of the whales before, also are the gracescale managers. We should not panic but support cryptocurrencies.
5418  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: issues with electrum : Broadcasting Error message on: March 11, 2021, 06:42:12 PM
If you're using an old version of Electrum it won't connect to the servers.  You need to be running version 3.3.8 or newer.  Make sure to download the newer version from the correct source and verify it's authenticity.  

Here's a guide that will help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240594.0
It will even be better to use the latest version which is 4.0.9, but your idea is also correct but using the latest version 4.0 and up will be best for new support.

 The person should try to increase the fee paid, the mempool congestion can cause this if the fee is low.
5419  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Coldcard - checklist, what should I do before I do the transfer? on: March 11, 2021, 06:37:19 PM
This is where I am now. What are the biggest risks? How can I be 100% this is the real coldcard or that someone on the factory is a thief or something like that? What are the odds of connect to a bad nod over Electrum and can someone steal the money that way?

Would you recomend to send the whole amount directly or piece by piece?

Each bag is unique and coded with a number. That "bag number" is written into the Coldcard's secure element as it's put into that bag. That value cannot be changed, and we ask your to verify the bag number when the Coldcard is powered-up for the first time at your location.

You can send the whole bitcoin at ones if you like but you can send it to different addresses to increase privacy.

satoshi’s view on escrow was a sign of the times back then. Before this community became incredibly toxic, the idea a buyer wouldn’t release payment and would instead choose to burn the BTC out of spite would have been unheard of. Today, his view on escrow is laughed at, and rightfully so as buyers would routinely not be paid for their goods or services if this process model were followed by the community.
satoshi explained how escrow can be without any third party, what I think is that what if the seller did not sell after the buyer has put bitcoin on escrow, some people can be so wicked in a way they will manipulate and not sell anything, even if the buyer did not release money from escrow, that means the buyer will lose and the bitcoin will burn out. But there are cases but few where people can be so wicked.mand result to burned bitcoin. But having a central body to make sure both the buyer and the seller did not cheat makes it better, if the seller did not sell anything, the bitcoin will automatically leave escrow when certain period is over and back to buyers account, or in the case someone provide the escrow, he will know who cheats and make sure no one lose, but using reputed escrow service is very important.
