A "darknet" site, as I understand it, is a site that's accessible only with the usage of anonymization protocols like Tor. I am not aware of one exchange that runs exclusively through the Tor network.

This forum is a pretty good place to start. You can gain reputation by paying a manager to run campaigns. For example, an exchange that does this is eXch, and it's gained trust last year, even though it's running for 10 years.

New quiz!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5491058.msg63882296#msg63882296

Bitcoin quizzes are technical questions of educational character that improve the average user's knowledge on Bitcoin, and help him rank up. You can read more about it in here.

As of today, we acknowledge the probability of a malicious pool turning evil, attempting to reverse your transaction with 10 confirmations. We are also aware that the probability of finding a certain number of blocks within a certain time frame follows the Poisson point process, which is a random mathematical object consisting of points distributed independently of each other within a space.

Question: At the time of writing this, a rich billionaire decides to purchase lots of unused, available ASICs manufactured by Bitmain, with the intention to attack the network. He has acquired so much computational power, that he, alone, can generate 300 EH/s (exahashes per second). Once his setup is done, he turns his ASICs on and attempts to reorg the chain. Assuming that the rest of the hashrate remains constant, how many confirmations do you need to be 99% certain that your transaction will not be reversed by the attacker, and why?

It's good that we're being honest lately. Here's an honest question of mine: what are the mitigating factors of having a 12-year-old account? If you think this deserves a neutral feedback, then you should do it regardless the reputation of the user, otherwise you're being dishonest to the new users.

This recent discussion is the reason I'm in favor of not having strict rules when it comes to the merit system. People should be free to do whatever they want with their merits. If the admin notices suspicious activity from a merit source, they can just take their source role away.

Δες εδώ απάντηση από Calvin Ayre:

Οι άνθρωποι είναι απλά εχθροί του Bitcoin και ενάντια του αναρχικού καπιταλισμού. Περιττό να πω ότι δεν έχει καταλάβει πως δουλεύει το Bitcoin.

"What's a Bitcoin address? All I want is your miner ID!"

Well, most signature campaigns I've joined forbid participating with an alt account. But, there have been a few that allowed it.

Having broken the forum rules isn't a prerequisite. This example is a user who has not broken the rules (or at least isn't tagged for that reason), but is still red tagged nonetheless. Sending negative feedback means you're publicly stating that the person is not trustworthy and / or likely to scam.

Allow me to reply with a meme.

Yes. It is answered in the FAQ:

So yes. It is used for public servers, whirlpool and mix partners.

In general, yes. It is detrimental to your privacy to use VPN and Tor (see explanation). But if you're using Tor's proxy in the proxy URL, then I believe you'll be fine. Is there any reason to run both simultaneously though?

Sounds terrible, and not smooth. I've been in forums that allowed embedding YouTube videos and it didn't go well. Think of a video being posted once and quoted 5 times. The page will be on an endless loading.

It's also bad for privacy. Right now, bitcointalk proxy protects the user's privacy by passing all image requests through ip.bitcointalk.org. You can't do that to a YouTube video. Google will have to know who's watching. That's why DuckDuckGo allows you to view images privately but not videos.

What fee rate did you choose? At the moment, 2.75 sat/vb is probably the lowest you can set. Anything lower than that is being purged in mempool.space (and probably the limit is even less than that if you've connected to a random Electrum server).

This sounds like you set 1 sat/vb. "You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers". 

At the moment, you should choose at least 10 sat/vb to have the slight priority.

Do we have access to the repository? Both Larhzu and JiaT75 github accounts are suspended, and their repository is disabled. I tried checking their commits with web archive, but no non-disabled pages were archived (except this, which doesn't reveal anything important).

Didn't Debian import it in their packages as Ubuntu?

It'd be comfortable to have an "Upload file" option in general, not just limited to videos (why staying in videos when you could broaden it beyond?). Certain limitations could exist, such as the minimum rank required to be able to upload, or account storage limit (with over 1250 bitcoin in reserves, I'm pretty sure the forum can handle a few gigabytes for each user).

The problem is legal. If a user uploads illegal content, then unless files are actively monitored and reviewed, the forum admins are legally responsible. To be honest though, this would be one of the least important features to account for, if I had to choose. There's no particular problem with uploading a file to a temporary file hosting service whenever needed, and I rarely see non-newbie users who would want to share with us a video.

You're kidding me, right? It was just a joke of mine. I'm obviously not invested in gold given the fact that I'm writing in a Bitcoin forum, presenting arguments of bitcoin being superior in every property comparably to gold.

It's less volatile for two reasons.

• Bitcoin supply cannot increase with increased demand. This means more intense price fluctuations.
• Probably just speculation of mine, but central banks and governments holding most of the gold makes it difficult to create the same kind of market volume as with bitcoin.

OP, when you generate a new wallet, Electrum makes sure to generate a completely different, random seed phrase. You should never reuse seed phrases, anywhere. Only when you want to recover a wallet you type it. I believe that's the answer to your concern.

Not sure if iancoleman is counted, but you can configure it to accept Electrum seed phrases, as demonstrated in this post.

I don't expect tremendous changes during the halving, but after it. We're falling from 900 BTC mined per day to only 450. It's a matter of time until there's pressure for 100k.

We haven't been to $3200 since 2019. The last halving was in 2020. I don't see the relevance. We were about $9000 when the halving happened last time, and we're sitting on $70k right before the next one. That's more than 7x. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we are sitting in $420k right before the halving of 2028.

Ας αναρωτηθούμε το εξής: Θα έχει νόημα να μετατρέψει τα έσοδά του σε fiat; Γιατί σκέψου να μην υπάρχει μετρητό και το μόνο fiat wallet να είναι μέσω του gov.gr (π.χ), δε θα έλεγα πως είναι ελκυστικό για τα ελληνικά δεδομένα. Καλώς κακώς, ο Έλληνας πολίτης είναι τσακωμένος με το ελληνικό κράτος δεκαετίες τώρα.

Μετά ας σκεφτούμε το εξής: Αν το να αγοράζεις BTC / XMR είτε γίνει είτε παράνομο είτε φορολογείται περισσότερο απ' ότι συνήθως, τότε τι θα ήταν προτιμότερο; Να αγοράζεις με το fiat που έλαβες σαν πληρωμή, ή να δέχεσαι κατευθείαν BTC / XMR σαν μέθοδο πληρωμής; Θα έλεγα το δεύτερο, γλυτώνεις ένα σημαντικό βήμα.

Αυτό δε νομίζω να δουλέψει και πολύ, όπως δε δούλεψαν όλα τα άλλα. Το μόνο που συνεχίζει να κάνει αισθητή ζημιά στο χώρο είναι το taint. Κι αφού οι περισσότεροι έμποροι θέλουν να έχουν ένα third party / exchange (π.χ., Coinbase, Bitpay) σαν payment processor, οι αρχές θα συνεχίζουν την επίθεση με "tainted BTC". Πάντως το Monero το έχουν κάνει αρκετά εύκολο να το στήσεις για πληρωμές. Το πρόβλημα σ' αυτό δεν είναι τα tainted coins, αλλά το ότι δεν το δέχονται πολλά ανταλλακτήρια σαν μέθοδο πληρωμής.

Όλοι αγοράζουμε bitcoin στην τιμή που μας αξίζει...

Do German writers get to choose other payment methods than bitcoin? 

Το YouTube μου πετάει μερικά Bitcoin videos στα προτεινόμενα, τώρα που έχει κάνει φασαρία με τα $70k. Χάσιμο χρόνου είναι τις περισσότερες φορές, αλλά κάποια είναι καλά. Έτσι λοιπόν μου πέταξε σήμερα αυτό: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAA1uzpAyAM. (Αρκεί να δείτε μόνο τα πρώτα λίγα δευτερόλεπτα, και όχι δεν είναι απ' τα καλά)

Καταλαβαίνω πως ο άνθρωπος είναι no-coiner και ότι δεν το έχει ψάξει, αλλά προσπαθώ να κατανοήσω τη λογική του. Λέει πως το Bitcoin δεν έχει "εγγενή αξία". Στα σχόλια το συγκρίνει με τις μετοχές, οι οποίες έχουν εγγενή αξία, γιατί παράγουν πραγματικά προϊόντα και υπηρεσίες. Οι μετοχές έχουν εγγενή αξία εκφρασμένη σε fiat currency, από το οποίο μπορεί κανείς να συμπεράνει πως τα fiat currencies έχουν εγγενή αξία αυτά καθ' αυτά μόνα τους. Εγώ ρωτάω: Ποια είναι αυτή; Αν δεν θεωρεί πως έχουν εγγενή αξία, τότε πως μετριέται η εγγενής αξία μιας μετοχής αν όχι σε νόμισμα;
