Nope. The idea is to trust nobody, hence you (your local wallet software) will verify/validate the whole blockchain to ensure the 2 GB you keep is correct / not tampered.
Furthermore, the pruned blockchain contains data relevant to your wallet, hence other nodes cannot really give you "filtered" data, since they don't know your addresses.



I suggest you read more first. Also maybe what you want is a SPV wallet.

This would basically mean that the price changes will slow down again.
It's too difficult and risky to make such predictions, I don't believe that yours will be accurate.
I am sure that the mempool will clear up again, but I surely won't risk telling how long will take until that'll happen, especially now when the price is expected to go towards new ATH.

They always find ways to make the numbers look good. Each and every government always find some things to not be declared until the next government takes it over.
The inflation is visible at the supermarket, you know... much better than from the official numbers. And with electricity, methane, petrol all getting way more expensive, a new avalanche of price increases is just starting.

However, I was talking "historically", since unlike other countries, here there's always something that goes wrong (in the ways the money is spent and the inflation grows).

Eu credeam ca la asa ceva foloseste aurul/tezaurul de pe cine stie unde (Londra?), respectiv valuta BNR...
Multumesc de clarificari. Inseamna ca mai trebuie sa pun mana pe "carte".

E acolo si prostia, si avantul tineresc ("mie" nu mi se poate intampla nimic), si foamea de bani usori, bineinteles mana in mana cu modele de viata cum vedem pe la tv, iar la toate acestea se mai adauga internetul care face totul usor de facut, de ascuns, de falsificat, dar si de cumparat... si asta e rezultatul.

In rest nimic nou. In trecut exista fool's gold, mai ieri au fost ICO, astazi este NFT si DeFi. Acceasi Marie, tot cu alta si alta palarie (deh, moda..)

Although it's a bit off-topic, I know too well what you mean. Sadly.
The gap between educated and uneducated is too wide. Too many people are left without information or with mostly fake news, people who rely on the priest and maybe the mayor for "educated news". Too many others, with access to news and education think that they know better..., going from attempting shortcuts (in this case even black market covid certificates) to believing all the conspiracy theories, many of them handed over generously by main television channels too... I don't want to fill pages with everything.
But imho this stands for basically the whole Balkans area (I hope I'm wrong!!), so... the group may increase, especially as the politicians (Europeans and Romanians alike) don't know nor care much of how to handle this.


Maybe the... particularities... of my country are the reasons I see so well all the mechanics behind the (ever) increasing inflation 

I find this a rather unnecessary over-complication. One may easily forget this rule in 10 years.
I think that's more important the number of words. I think that it could be more useful if not all are actual real words, but, again, it's better to not over-complicate the things.
Overall, I agree pretty much with

The inflation is the speed of decreasing the value of the currency. While the value will most probably never increase back, the speed of decreasing the value will slow down.. sooner or later, possibly after a complete crash and recovery of markets though.
When will that happen? Nobody knows. Not too soon, though. There are far too many variables and although the declarations go towards having low inflation, politicians have to spend in order to keep their voters happy.

About the salaries, the things go even more interesting: from time to time the syndicates decide to come back into the game and ask for salary rises, covering the inflation (sometimes better sometimes worse) for some of the workers. Of course, some others will suffer; of course, this can lead to even more inflation.. it's a cat and mouse game. And while it can slow down now and then, it won't stop.

Now, with all that printed money, with the pandemic far from end, the politicians are trapped by their exaggerated optimism in spending funds: they have to spend even more and don't know how to do that nicely. So for short and medium term the inflation is bound to rise.

Doar faptul ca ai spam-uit intreg bitcointalk-ul cu reclama la acest.. website ma face sa nu am incredere in el.
In plus faza cu +20% hash mi se pare o exagerare... pentru necunoscatori.

Nu zic ca lumea sa nu-l foloseasca, fiecare e pe barba lui, dar recomand atentie sporita oricui vrea sa-l incerce.

Some ideas from the top of my head:

1. It will probably kill BCH, BSV and other mad mans' visions that might continue to come up.
2. It will probably trigger unprecedented waves of FUD like "he's manipulating the market" or "he is going to sell all his coins and dump the price"
3. He will become a target for many agencies, much more "wanted" than the most feared terrorists.

However, sorry to disappoint you, but he won't come out. He's good, bitcoin is good, there's no logical reason he would do that.

I also suggest you read the FAQ first. I've used Chipmixer and, in case you want to play with it, I also recommend you use it through the Tor browser and the Tor v3 link as posted in the ANN thread.

One more word of advice: whatever mixer you want to, try to get to their bitcointalk ANN topic first and get the link from there. Google search results use to be full of fake clones that may steal your money.

Global economy looks most of the times like a castle built of playing cards and waiting for just a little gust to make it crumble. It doesn't necessarily means that'll happen now, but the risk is always there.


That's correct. I just hope that "western" banks were not too greedy and aren't that much tied to Chinese economy, because if they are, we have a perfect storm.


Somehow the wars' seem to postpone an economic crisis. Yes, they'll be accounted for, but at a later time. And this is something many unfortunately may prefer.


The more informed somebody is, the more he knows that China's reality is not the one from the image they try so hard to publish.
That's why I do expect the banks didn't go for China head first; although they tend to do extremely foolish moves just because they're too greedy.

At least for Bitcoin it may be of help List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance. Of course, it'll be one day old and it helps only if there are funds on the address, but it's much smaller than the blockchain and it's much easier to search into.

For the altcoins I can't help, sorry.

Pai nu degeaba este vorba aia "prost e cel care cumpara, nu cel care vinde".
Traim intr-o lume in care fiecare (sau aproape...) vrea sa iti vanda ceva. Orice. Oricum. Ca e o idee, ca e un produs, ca are de castigat direct sau indirect, prea multi fac asta.

Indeed, it was discussed in the F1 topic here and here.

I've even put there a nice image where FTX is visible:


I guess it wasn't cheap, but it is visible and imho it's a big deal, especially after crypto.com entering F1 and (hopefully) making more people read about crypto.

Wow, it looks wonderful!
Please, if possible:

Din ceea ce am inteles eu, depinde de ambele. NFT este "actul de proprietate" asupra ceva. Chestia e ca acel ceva trebuie sa existe, si chiar mai mult, trebuie sa existe acolo unde softul se asteapta.



Problema cu stocarea este super corect si bine punctata. Doar ca rezolvand problema stocarii se adauga unul sau mai multe "points of failure" (storage, redirect) si probabil vulnerabililitati (asa cum au hackuit DNS-urile pentru bitcoin.org, pot sa faca asta cu kongz.herokuapp.com si atunci sa vezi distractie).

Intr-adevar, mare grija!


Si revin; pana la o implementare mai buna/mai unitara...:

I am not convinced that this will happen. Banks can adapt to use bitcoin in their services and stay alive.
For example I don't know who else can do lending without digital collateral.


I believe that Uber will also be replaced by something even more efficient. But it'll take time.


Amazon and online book stores are being replaced by online book lending services.
Storing too many books at home can easily become an expensive hassle. And many still prefer to read from paper than from Kindle or phone.


As you can see, even yourself may not see far enough in the future. It's not necessarily about refusing to see that or being intimidated; people may just miss some bits of info here and there and it's not necessarily productive to think on that, the future evolves continuously and event the models we see as good now may become obsolete and superseded at some point.

I think that you should start with https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001298143-Your-Secret-Private-Key-Recovery-Phrase-The-Failsafe
From there you should be able to recover your BIP 39 seed.

Then download Electrum (https://electrum.org) and verify it (https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/)
