Why does Satoshi's blocks look different than others? Where did you get this chart from? I'm really curious about this.
The theory is based on research published by Sergio Demián Lerner. Here is some background: The latest paper, called “The Return of the Deniers and the Revenge of Patoshi,” at first discusses Lerner’s original study and how he originally came to his previous conclusion. Lerner detailed how he found the information in the extranonce field and how certain flaws revealed information in a “non-privacy preserving way.” However, Lerner’s latest study “proves with overwhelming probability” that a single miner extracted all of the coins in his Patoshi pattern, which is well over a million BTC. The researcher’s new argument is based on computer clocks because even in the early days miners used a local computer’s clock to timestamp blocks after processing them. “There are no time inversions between Patoshi blocks — Zero — This result is very relevant considering the Patoshi blocks account for 43% of all the blocks in the first 50k. I’m open to considering other explanations, but for me, this can only mean one thing — There is a single PC clock whose time is stamped in the Patoshi blocks.” Lerner’s paper continues: “A single software that controls how block templates are created — A single miner.” The evidence is fairly convincing, but I wouldn't consider the theory bulletproof. Wow! I really didn't know about this until now. That's pretty fascinating... Thank you for the explanation. Sorry for the off-topic, but could you please elaborate a bit more about this? Why does Satoshi's blocks look different than others? Where did you get this chart from? I'm really curious about this.
I was also not aware of the fact that it is possible to identify the blocks that is mined by Satoshi, but they say there is something called Patoshi pattern, and that Satoshi blocks can be identified by specific data called nonce. However, they say that this is not a method that can determine with complete certainty that it is not Satoshi block. It's funny that everything around Satoshi is so secret. I'm really amazed that in ten years no one managed to identify who Satoshi really is. |

Is Ledger Nano X the best crypto wallet (in terms of most secure and easy use for many coins)? I find that the seed phrase generated is potentially very troubling for two reasons: (1) If other people spot the seed phrase, they can take away all the coins. How do you keep the seed phrase long term? (2) I read that "generally a seed phrase only works with the same wallet software that created it". What if that software - Ledger Live is no longer available or workable in the future? Thanks for any relevant info.
People are paying very high premium buying bitcoin and ether in Grayscale's Fund - GBT and Ethe. I guess an important reason is that it is too difficult or too much trouble to keep and manage private keys themselves.
It's not hard to keep your crypto funds safe at all. I don't know why would anyone pay someone else to keep their crypto when you can have it stored in a free paper wallet. And I think that paper wallet (if generated and used correctly) is more secure than any other wallet. It's not a convenient way to keep crypto if you are making a lot of transactions but if you just keep it stored then paper wallet is great choice. As for the seed phrase, no one will see your seed phrase if you generate it in private. You don't have to use it anymore except if you lose or broke your hardware wallet and have to get a new one. Then you will use your seed phrase to initialize your new hardware device with an old wallet. |

Yes, my suggestion to you that is bets time to buy bitcoins now because of the bitcoin price is under correction level now, so once it cross the correction level then it will go all-time higher. because we know the past after halving the bitcoin price went moon.
Are you serious? Who can say for sure that the price will go up just because it did so in the past? We can only hope and wish for it to grow, but I wouldn't be that certain it will go to the moon. |

A zašto ne napraviš slijedeće... Umjesto da digneš kredit, počni kupovati Bitcoin mjesečno za iznos koji bi inače plaćala ratu kredita. Na taj način ti se ništa neće dogoditi ako u jednom trenutku više ne budeš mogla izdvojiti mjesečni iznos rate kredita (jednostavno preskočiš kupnju Bitcoina jedan mjesec), a opet ćeš imati Bitcoin. Naravno, na taj način ćeš imati manju zaradu ako cijena krene gore. Ali što ako cijena BTC-a krene padati, a ti svejedno moraš plaćati ratu kredita?

@Darker45. However, Hal came on 2010, correct? This is 1 year after the said 50 BTC coinbase was rewarded to the miner.
I speculate that the only miners 1 month after bitcoin's creation might predominantly Satoshi with different computers.
I guess you didn't read the whole Hal Finney's post. He says: ...
Fast forward to late 2008 and the announcement of Bitcoin. I've noticed that cryptographic graybeards (I was in my mid 50's) tend to get cynical. I was more idealistic; I have always loved crypto, the mystery and the paradox of it.
When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, he got a skeptical reception at best. Cryptographers have seen too many grand schemes by clueless noobs. They tend to have a knee jerk reaction.
...
As you can see, he knew about Bitcoin in 2008. but that sentence "The next I heard of Bitcoin was late 2010" means that he again heard of Bitcoin in late 2010. |

The biggest difference with this third halving is that now there are BTC futures where traders can make ton of money even if the price is going down. Futures were introduced after the 2017.-2018. bull run so first two halving weren't affected by them. I'm saying this because after futures were introduced, for a futures trader it's not important where the price is going (up or down). It's important that the price is volatile. That's why it could happen that we don't see a bull run at all...

Whether it's a manipulation or not, we can't argue that Binance is the most popular exchange right now. When did you see a pump caused by Huobi listing? Or any other exchange that claims to be the most popular? On the other hand, there are number of competitors to CoinMarketCap so if anyone dislikes those changes, they can use any other site. My personal favorites are CoinGecko and CoinPaprika (I can't decide which one is better  ). |

Bitcoin (BTC) price abruptly dropped 4.9% from $9,800 to $9,324 after rejecting at a key resistance level again, is it a buy the dip opportunity?  It looks like a good buying opportunity, but no one knows exactly. Who says that this is the bottom and that price will go up now? On May 7th BTC was rejected from $10k too and the price went all the way down to $8100 in the next three days. If you want to buy, the best advice is dollar cost averaging. |

A smart move would've been to lower down their average purchase price. If they bought $2k worth of BTC when it hit $19k and bought $2k more when it hit the low $3k, today they'd own approximately 0.8 BTC so about $7.8k. That's a profit of $3.8k overall.
This "I'm waiting for it to get back to $20k" I believe has a much lower chance to turn into reality than the strategy above. If you lower down your average purchase price, you may enter profit without even knowing it.
Even if you bought $2k worth of BTC at $19k and only a quarter more (so $500) at $3k, you'd be today on approximately $0 loss as you'd own exactly around $2.5k worth of BTC. Still much better than a $1k loss.
The biggest problem with this is to decide when to buy more. It's easy now to say that he should have bought more BTC when the price was $3k, but how could anyone have known that it is the bottom? The price could have easily drop a little more. Today we all know it didn't, but who knew back then? No one. That's the biggest problem. |

Da su “popravili” bug, bi se vjerojatno i pohvalili, tako da sumnjam da jesu (to svakako vrijedi za android usere) Nisam uspio pronacii taj info, tako da ova novost je svakako prednost, ali eyes open ostaje na snazi  Ali nije mi jasno zašto su išli ažurirati aplikaciju prvi put nakon ne znam ni sam koliko godina i onda ne poprave taj bug. Ako ništa drugo, drago mi je da su konačno ažurirali aplikaciju. Dok nisam vidio info o ovom bugu, nisam pojmao imao da ju Google uopće ne ažurira. |

Pada mi na pamet sad da si na neki stari mob odradim backup svih 2FA kodova kako su sad omogucili export accounta
A gle, i stari mob moze krepat, da mu nemos doc do diska vise. Mozda ti je bolje onaj backup code na papir, i u neki sef To imam da, sve sta moze ici na papir ide na sigurno cuvanje  Ovo je dodatni backup Vidio sam da se Google Authenticator aplikacija napokon nadogradila na novu verziju. Je li time popravljen ova opasnost zbog koje je pokrenut topic? To mi je važnije nego prijenos 2FA kodova na drugi mobitel. A što se tiče backup kodova, sranje je što njih možeš vidjeti samo prvi put kad generiraš 2FA kod na nekoj stranici. Nakon što je kod generiran, više ga ne možeš dobiti. Eventualno se može onemogućiti 2FA na stranici (ali je potrebno upisati 2FA kod) i onda opet omogućiti pa stranica izbaci novi kod. Također, kod jedne stranice uopće nije pisao taj backup kod nego samo onaj QR koji sam skenirao i omogućio 2FA. |

Nebitno koliko ljudi prihvaćaju btc, prihvatit će kad budu morali odnosno kad to budu rekli kapitalisti. Mene nitko ne pita volim li više keš, ja moram imati račun firme u nekoj banci, tekući račun u drugoj i plaću si tako moram isplatiti, bolje da ne mislim koliko mi ukupno ode na provizije i vođenje svih računa. Mlađi prijatelj jako dobar informatičar ne prihvaća btc jer ne vidi čemu sve to kad postojeći bankarski sustav sasvim dobro funkcionira.
Postojeći bankarski sustav dobro funkcionira? Pa, ako je netko vlasnik banke, onda je to istina - postojeći bankarski sustav sasvim dobro funkcionira. Ako ovdje ima starijih, sjetit će se serije Potpuni stranci koja se emitirala krajem 80-tih i početkom 90-tih. Jedan od likova je baš dobro opisao postojeći bankarski sustav. Ja ne vidim ništa dobro u tome za nikoga osim za ljude koji su vlasnici banaka. Upravo zbog toga je napravljen Bitcoin. Da se ljudi mogu maknuti od banaka. Naravno da treba proći jako puno vremena da bi se to dogodilo, ali ljudi su i za veliku većinu drugih tehnologija mislili da su nepotrebne u trenutku kad su izmišljene. |

A da li ih ujedno i prodaješ i po kojim cijenama?
Nisam siguran, ali mislim da kolega trenutno ususret korona financijskoj krizi samo gleda kako se nakrcati zlatom. Što i nije loše... Inače, ne znam za ostale ali ovi "Franjo Josip" dukati su se nekad davno davali u miraz. Imam dva od bake i mislim da kad bi mi netko ponudio 10x veću cijenu, ne bi prodao. Neke stvari ipak nisu za prodaju... Čak bi možda i ja kupio još jedan da proslijedim u naslijeđe @btcltcdigger, ako tvoj zlatar može nabaviti takav jedan dukat od 3g, ne bi imao ništa protiv da ga kupim i još dodam "finder's fee" |

I don't think that these kind of attacks are that dangerous. An attacker still needs your password to unlock the wallet. More dangerous are WiFi attacks when you are working on your laptop in a hotel room. And you can't turn off your laptop's WiFi if you are working like you can turn off Bluetooth. The bottom line is, all wallets (on laptop, on mobile phone, and even on a hardware wallet) must have a strong password in order to unlock it. Just because you have password on your Windows account it doesn't mean that you can put some simple password (like 12345678) on a crypto wallet. I personally use BT very rarely, and mostly in a home environment between known devices. I don't remember the last time I used it to send something to someone else, because there are much quicker and easier ways to share photos or videos nowadays. However, I can agree that a smartphone is not a place to store large quantities of crypto, unless it is cold storage.
The problem is when you own a smartwatch. You have to use a Bluetooth to connect it to your mobile phone. Bluetooth is not just for sending and receiving photos and music anymore. |

Ja zapravo smatram da do "mass adoption" neće doći zato jer će starije generacije početi koristiti kripto nego zato jer će mlađe generacije (ljudi koji danas imaju do 30 godina ili preko ako su uz to informatički potkovani) postati starije i njima će biti normalno.
Slično tako su i neke druge tehnologije (npr. mobilna telefonija) nisu doživjele mass adoption na način da su ih prihvatili starije generacije nego su samim protekom vremena mlađi ljudi postali stariji pa ih sad svi koriste.

Po meni je to niti pozitivno niti negativno. Slažem se s izjavom da je testnet napravljen da bi ga se "pokvarilo" jer je bolje da se sranje dogodi u fazi testiranja nego kasnije u produkcijskoj fazi. Uostalom, svaki ozbiljan projekt ima testnu i produkcijsku verziju. Na testnoj verziji se isprobavaju nove stvari da se svi uvjere da sve radi kako treba. Tek kad se dobro testira i kad se developeri slože da je sve u redu, onda se prebacuje na produkciju. |

Zanimljivo... Ima li kakve prednosti u odnosu na Revolut? Imam Revolut i stvarno mi se ne da koristiti još jednu karticu, a vidim da su limiti otprilike isti ($200 za podizanje na bankomatu, a nakon toga 2% fee). Ako je jedina razlika da kod njih možeš napraviti deposit kripta i onda ga koristiti dok provlačiš karticu, onda mi to (za sad) ne treba. |
