5421  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.

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.
5423  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.

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.
5425  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.
5426  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.
5427  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?

https://coldcardwallet.com/
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.
5429  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reminder for crypto newbies, traders. Be cautious with new exchanges on: March 11, 2021, 06:14:08 PM
P2P is not really an alternative for centralized exchanges because you are going to trade with random person which means the source of the money is unknown for you but what if it comes from someone who involved in illegal activities so you also will be on the wanted list now.
If the funds are illegal, so far you use a legit p2p exchange, you have nothing to be worried about, it is not black market but I am speaking about the ones on centralized exchanges, most p2p are centralized, only few are not centralized. But if decentralized one is used, I do not know what could happen in this case.
5430  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time to sell my BTC? on: March 10, 2021, 07:03:05 PM
If you like you can sell or even buy more, but bitcoin is a deflationary currency. I see bitcoin as a currency people should value than fiat and should also be saved for upspring and future generations because the price of bitcoin will later increase more and more higher than today. If you need money urgently, you can sell.
5431  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Online Wallet Recovery Services on: March 10, 2021, 06:55:41 PM
Do you know what you are talking about?

Do you need to use any wallet recovery service if you have seeds or private key of your bitcoin wallet?
What are private keys or mnemonic seeds used for?
Maybe you did not get what I meant, try to read and understand before quoting someone's post.

If seed phrase or private key to the bitcoin is well protected, will the OP need recovery service? No.

Only the seed phrase or the private key is enough to recover the bitcoin.
5432  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The knowledge we seek on: March 10, 2021, 06:34:31 PM
What comes to your mind when ever people discuss Crypto currency? Does imaginations with lovely fantasies colour your mind or you only get stucked in the Midst of opportunity open you generate a life lasting fortune for you and your generation unborn?
What comes my mind is that some people are missing when crypto market is so young, this is still the best time to take the opportunity and gain from cryptocurrencies. But keeping in mind potent ways to lose like DeFi, ICO, scam tactics and going for shitcoins instead of profitable coins like bitcoin.

I think about bitcoin and happy there is a lot of profit I will make at this early stage before it becomes like gold or more than gold in the future.
5433  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Online Wallet Recovery Services on: March 10, 2021, 04:22:17 PM
I can not trust a recovery service, most will ask for seed phrase, assuming I give a recovery service my seed phrase and was able to recover back the wallet but tells me he was unable to, that means my bitcoin all lost, who will know if he did or he did not recover back the wallet? No one will be able to. It will be good to have all possible means to protect our seed phrase which is just the only task, if lost, it can lead to permanent loss of our bitcoin.
5434  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Adding passphrase to trezor is essential on: March 10, 2021, 04:16:18 PM
The same can be said with the ledger nano right?  But isn't trezor open source or close source which make it suspectible to hacking?
Ledger nano is close source, it generates its seed phrase through secure element, the secure element can not make this to happen, but I can not trust close source wallets either be hardware or online. Trezor has no secure element, this makes it possible to reveal seed phrase if stolen, but if passphrase is used, you are still safe, it will also be most safe to use a strong passphrase that will be very difficult to brute force.

cz said on twitter in januuary that they are using new methods besides vpn to catch people from restricted areas. many reports of peoples vpn not working.
Which means it is not about vpn, it is about people residing in restricted countries, I too at times but not often uses vpn, and if I use, there is nothing that happens, binance already know me to be from a particular country which will only make them understand that I used it for privacy.
5436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: how much will ripple be worth in 5 years? on: March 10, 2021, 07:49:53 AM
But what about the unfinished SEC problems, I'm sure the case will take a long time. Can Ripple win it? If yes it might be up to $5 but if not I think it will be difficult.
Ripple can not win that obvious lawsuit, ripple CEO uses his own ripple which is not his and sold it to generate over $1.3 billion, that is obvious lawsuit he can not win, but even if ripple did not win it, there are chances investors from Africa and Asia will support the coin but it's growth with still be significantly affect negatively. If ripple lose the case, expect its price to come down very low again, but if won, many US investors that have sold their ripple will buy back which will increase ripple price above $1 imminent to after the lawsuit is over.
5437  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com responsible for loss of clients funds on: March 10, 2021, 07:37:46 AM
Right from the moment I have known about cryptocurrencies, the most wallet complained about is blockchain wallet, and most of the complains are list funds, but I can not say blockchain wallet official is responsible for this, but it is not a good wallet to use, it is a web wallet, web wallets are the most vulnerable wallet to attacks. Also, I can not say their officials are innocent, they might have a backdoor, but I am not certain about this. But not using the wallet is good, for online wallet, desktop wallets are the best, if not having computer, then going for mobile wallet is better.
5438  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning] Bittrex's fake website is available in online. on: March 09, 2021, 04:00:49 PM
Making use of antivirus are effective to block fake ads and many legit ones that look fake
Making use of ublocker is also blocking ads more than effectively
Visit the right sites and be sure
Make use of good search engines like duckduckgo for businesses not google or bing that will expose you to scammers
Use good browsers like duckduckgo not chrome, safari or windows explorer
Make use of Tor when needed
5439  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Low quality topics on: March 09, 2021, 03:51:43 PM
Also not long I saw a topic that only contain link, no any other comment than the link, such topics will may not be deleted by moderators but are considered low quality.

Always make sure you search for topics you want to create, there could have been many more of such topics, people may not post under this kind one if there are already existing ones.

If you are making topics, read the contents like three time before posting it, correct any typo error.

Do not discuss on what you do not know about, only on those that you know, you may think you may get it right, but you can make wrong topics in such way, this can let some members to put your account on ignore.

Reading more and knowing more will make your topics and post not poor like before.
5440  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This Crypto Looks So Good For Future Investment. on: March 09, 2021, 02:52:11 PM
its actually on CMC. this page https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hackspace-capital/
the data says a lot about the project. it appears like there is a market for HAC before it got delisted. hard to get listed on any exchange today particularly to a coin that has its own blockchain unlike having an ERC20 token that they could just like on Uniswap and the likes. with something like HAC, it's a long way from where they are.
That coin is not Hackspace Capital (HAC), it is Hashcash (HAC), I did not see the coin on coinmarketcap. This is just an evidence that this is not a right coin to buy at this time, but if anyone buy it, it is left to them if anything like scam result.
