What really worries me now is that there are barely any normal real Bitcoin transactions left. Mempool Goggles shows more than 90% of the blocks are filled with "data" (AKA spam). That leaves at most a few dozen "normal" Bitcoin transactions per minute. Bitcoin's transaction rate has always been limited around 7 tps, but currently real transactions barely make it to half a transaction per second. And some of the non-data Bitcoin transactions are like this: 3 dust inputs plus one normal input > 5 dust outputs plus 2 normal outputs. This is not the "adoption" I hoped for.

Most people will never do that. If you have one wallet, it will always be synced on your pruned node.

What are you trying to do? You jump from wanting to create a transaction that can only exist locally in your wallet to importing private keys. What's the goal here?

That sounds fun Put me down for "higher" for the rest of eternity

I get this data from Blockchair.com, and their last update is from April 19. Their other data is still being updated, so it looks like something is stuck with updating the Bitcoin addresses.

I posted both posts in the wrong topic. It's correct now, the other post is here. Both updates got stuck, one was waiting for the other, which was waiting for Blockchair. In short: the list of all addresses with a balance is not updated at the moment.

It looks like the daily updates didn't happen, which means the weekly update had no fresh data. I'm not sure why, I'll check it tomorrow.

Update: it's fixed. It was waiting for another stuck update. The weekly update is running now, this takes a few hours to complete. Thanks for reporting this.

It's the other way around: if something that's worse didn't lead to a change of rules, it's not very realistic to expect the lesser evil to lead to change.

That's why you should write down the block height or date with the seed words. But that's for next time

Only if they start a signature campaign here, which I don't expect.

The Dutch authorities disagree with you:

That's another thing they're slowly banning. The maximum amount you're allowed to pay in cash gets lower and lower. That's going to stop honest people, while criminals are breaking the law already.

It's a feature, not a bug. Sharing your view key with the server is bad for privacy.
I would just keep Feather wallet running for a few days until it's done. No big deal.

If your node excluded an UTXO, and a miner includes it anyway, your node will reject the valid block.

I don't see Satoshi buying billion dollar yachts. I think most people wouldn't like to be very rich in crypto if they can't spend it.

That's what I do. But: if I quit, my images will be gone. And that's why a dedicated image hosting service can be better, unless it stops working. Like Tinypic did. Like Imgur did.

Like needing training, a license, insurance and MOT? I wouldn't call it an "attack", but it's strictly regulated.

Gasoline cares are already banned from some cities, guns are banned in general in my country, and knives aren't allowed to be caried in a growing number of cities either. I'm not sure now if it's the best comparison though: not many people will discuss online about replaying Death Race 2000 in real life. But we do have an ever growing government, and they won't volunteer to give back freedoms.

Thanks again for your flawless timing! I'm slightly late, because the kids needed my attention. My wife is gone for a few days. Nothing I can't handle, but it's more work this way.

This is my interpretation:
Talking/marketing about committing crimes = banned.

Cars, guns and knives can be used to commit crimes, but as long as you don't talk about this = ok.

Disclaimer: I strongly dislike the notion of taint. There are no bad Bitcoins, but there are bad people.

Correct link: [get yours] Images from imgur + All links to your own posts.

I'm with ABCbits on this. My percention changed once it was abused too much. There's a limit to what's acceptable. I used to be okay with online ads, until it overtook my entire screen and added sound. So I installed an adblocker and have blocked millions of ads since then.

Even worse: some mixers may be created by bad people.

It will be a cold day in hell before I send my passport picture to an anonymous website.

There is no business for mixers with KYC. Who's going to fall for "Hey, if you give me $10000 and let me take a high resolution photograph of you holding your passport, I give you back $9500"? If anything, honest users who want privacy won't use it, and criminals would pay some poor guy a couple of bucks to use his ID. "Money Muling" is already a problem for fully regulated banks.

Who do they offer privacy from? Other players, random internet users, or governments? I assume the casino logs all transactions and winnings.

You can do that. But if you'd offer such a service on Bitcointalk without KYC, it's part of theymos' "mixer definition", and not allowed. It's like the elephant in the room: everyone knows about it, but as long as you don't mention it, it's okay.

There will always be loopholes, and this may become a risk for lenders at some point.

Which law? Of which country?
