Since this thread is bumped, people should know that you might get some trouble if use Bitcoin from CoinJoin process to exchange or any legal services.
Read this, Binance User Receives Frozen BTC After DIscontinuing Coinjoin Use
I don't think using CoinJoin or Mixing to directly send funds to exchanges or casinos is the good thing to do. Some platforms don't want to get troubles and they don't want the others compromise their platforms as the one for freely mixing coins from any sources (legal or illegal or shady sources).

Some casinos apply the same approach as Binance, returning funds back to owners if they feel transactions are illegal.

14.7. We reserve the right to apply a wagering requirement of at least one time the deposit amount if we suspect the player is using our service as a mixer. It is strictly forbidden to use our service for any other purpose than entertainment.

14.8. If a user who has deposited funds on Bitlser refuse the KYC verification procedure and/or the wagering requirement, his funds will be sent back to the address from which they come, to make sure that he didn't use Bitsler to mix his coins
I don't experience it myself (I don't want to take risks), above is what I read in TOS of Bitsler.  Cheesy
5942  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Is it possible to access an Electrum wallet by only using its wallet encryption on: January 11, 2020, 09:36:05 AM
I am trying to access my Electrum wallet by am unable to locate any login details aside from my wallet's encryption key. Is there any way to use this key to access the wallet?
You gave us very limited information on your case.

Something you should present clearer:

  • Do you use your Electrum on computers or on mobile devices?
  • You should differentiate between mnemonic seed, wallet password
  • Encryption key, what is this? Would you mind clarify it a little bit, please. But do remember not post anything exactly what is yours. What you we need is format of your 'encryption key'.

Encryption key is a very strange term, in case of Electrum, that is a SPV wallet and secured with seeds, mnemonic seeds, more correctly.

So, you should give us the first two things:
  • Computers or mobile devices *
  • Giving us exactly the format of your encryption key. Format of your key, not your key.

*: On mobile devices, you only need PIN code (6 numbers), not password.

If the encryption key you meant is private key, there are guides for you:

If OP lost both seeds and (passwords - on computers; or PINcode - on mobile devices), his fund will be lost and can not be recovered. Remember that passwords or PINcode is the secondary protection and play their roles to prevent hackers or bad guys get access to your wallet that secured by your seeds.

If you disclose your seeds publicly, anyone can get access to your wallet, without needs to know your passwords or your PINcode.

I don't know whether there are available scripts to do it with Electrum wallet or not, but if you open your Electrum wallet, you will get notifications for new transactions, both receiving and sending (when you send your coins away).

Electrum wallet is a SPV and much lighter than Bitcoin Core, because it only download block headers, than cost 80 bytes for each block only.

In Electrum, you can use Filter options (for History feature).

  • Activating the Filter option (Wallet > History > Filter)
  • Using the History sub-tab
  • Clicking on All / Specific year / Custom *
  • After choosing Custom, you have to choose the start and end days for the period in which you want to get transaction history.
*: By default, it shows all of your transaction history, whole time, but you can narrow down the observing period by choosing either specific year or (start and end days with Custom) for your interests.
       

I think you can also export your history: Wallet > History > Export (to .csv).

The export file will contain some variables for you: transaction_hash, label (of your addresses), confirmations, and timestamp. You can sort your transactions out, over timestamp, label, and confirmations. If you filter directly on Electrum, it does not allow you to do multi-filter (by timestamp, and label and the others, so you have to do it handy.


What I present is for offline with export data, but I guess you can write some code to do it, in real-time (not sure). I hope my information give you some ideas to build up your scripts (I guess it is possible).
5944  Other / Meta / Re: Additional data dumps? on: January 11, 2020, 03:36:40 AM
From the reply of admin yesterday, I think now it is a very good time to think of a consistent format for the forum's data dumps. Each dataset has different variables inside, but I think all of them should be connected with only common variable (at least one variable) - userid.

Username, no matter it is username or display name or both will result in differences when connecting different datasets dumped by the forum.

For additional data dumps, it is not the priority and I am not in a position to ask for it too much, but for current data formats, a small adjustment: from username to userid will be good.

LoyceV asked for this change too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5104467.msg53551686#msg53551686
5945  Other / Meta / Initial usernames should be perma-locked to avoid compromises [Suggestion] on: January 10, 2020, 01:46:47 PM
As we know, more and more users changed their usernames over time. I have not been on the forum for too long enough to know all the changes of username-changing process. From what I know of, it seems over many months, username changing requests only accepted in early period of the forum. After that only VIP members and someone who have really convincing reasons will be granted by theymos.

However, recent months, we've witnessed more and more users got granted from admin to change their usernames to new ones. It is their personal problems and desire, so I congratulate them for what they have done.

But there are some things to consider:
  • After the old username changed to new one, the former one will be able to reuse by the others
  • Are there risks of compromises on former username (scam/ fake/ clone)?
  • What will happen with the person who take over the formerly usernames of the others (especially reputable ones, but the question is for all kind of users) ?

My suggestion:
  • Formerly usernames should be perma-locked and can not be reused by anyone else, except the initial owners of those usernames.
  • If the 1st suggestion will not be accepted, how about solutions for the person who take over formerly usernames?

I believe the 1st position can be done if theymos has time to code and will be convinced with my suggestion. I know there is indirect solution for it: Leaving negative trust feedback on such accounts, but it requires community efforts as well as time to do that. In the meantime, who knows scammers can scam some naive people.


Answered by theymos, so I locked it and deleted unnecessary parts. Thank you for the answer, admin.

I am also sorry to people who changed usernames for privacy, not for appearance, if I did something wrong.
5946  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is "SPV" realy talking ? on: January 10, 2020, 05:09:53 AM
the raw block sizes are approximately 1 MB that is usually from around 950 kB to around 1.5 MB
and the block headers are fixed at 80 bytes exactly.
that is why the size of the block headers that an SPV client such as Electrum downloads is easily calculated and rises linearly with a flat line (block count * 80 = 612149 * 80 = 48,971,920 bytes)
Thank you for the exact figures, that is why I use around for that estimation. As you wrote, I should use correct words in my post, approximately, for block size. Smiley
It requires around 1000 times less than Bitcoin Core in terms of storage to run it.
5947  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is "SPV" realy talking ? on: January 10, 2020, 03:12:19 AM
One more important technical specification for SPV wallet is:

It requires around 1000 times less than Bitcoin Core in terms of storage to run it. Because SPV wallet does not download the full blockchain, full blocks. What SPV wallet does is downloading the block headers.

A quick comparison:
  • a full block: 1 MG
  • a block header: < 1 KB

5950  Other / Meta / Re: History of local boards on: January 09, 2020, 02:56:29 PM
Okay. Thank you all with today information. Your replies boosted me to think of adding a new column - ex-moderators. I think it is relevant to add into the table in OP. Because the thread is for history of local boards, and we already have birthday, adjusted birthday, so now we should split the details for moderators into:
  • Moderators: for current ones.
  • Ex-moderators: for past ones.
One more thing to adjust for the table is adding URL links to those (ex-)moderators' profile pages.

I am going to let you know when I updated the OP.

As being said:
Go locals, if you find any detail incorrect or find new ones, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Lastly, if you need more details on merit distribution (a bit off-topic) on your local boards, let's visit that one (quoted below) and contact me if you need more details or want to translate that whole thread or specific parts of posts inside it or adjusting labels, titles on plots into your local languages.

By now, I made analyses for daily merits over five local boards only: Russia, Indonesian, German, Turkish and Français. If you need more for weekly/ monthly merits, please contact me.
5951  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Reduce 50 merit limit per post. on: January 09, 2020, 02:48:26 PM
so 0.08% transactions are consuming 2% of the total merit. 2% is a lot. Post the stats os the total merited sent in 50 merit transactions. I don't how much it will be, but it is certainly a lot. 5k merit? 10k merit? Is it still not relevant now?

Now look at the stats of the 50 merits transaction on each user total merit balance. If a guy who received a transaction of 50 merit, and that represents 70% of his total earned merit, do you still think that is not relevant?
Excludes all of theymos' transactions (excludes his 50-merit transactions, of course) + excludes 50 merit transactions of the others within the active period of the Art contest, we have 97 ones, that have sum of total merit values up to 4850 merits (see total_cat). The tptal amount of merits account for 1.9% (see p_meritcat) of total values of all merits (at 253341 - see total). In frequency (or also called as number of transactions), there are 97 transactions left (see meritcat_count), which account for 0.1 % (see at p_count) of 143977 number of transactions in total (see total_count). For data interpretation, I have no additional comment.  Smiley

All is clear now, OP have Bitcoin on test net, that has zero-value.

To help OP understand his situation better, I gave the image. I believe OP see the notification when setting testnet wallet up (but maybe he did not remember).
The Legacy wallet address (on test net) will be like this. On the tab header of the wallet, you see: Electrum 3.3.8 Testnet. It emphasizes Testnet.

See Bitcoin Testnet. Activate, experience it, but don't trade and get scammed.
5953  Other / Meta / Re: Does this tread really deserve the attention it has got? on: January 09, 2020, 08:48:58 AM
One of the obvious drawbacks to giving a lot of merit that's supposed to be for overall good posting is that it'll get questioned, as it did in this case.  That post linked to in the OP didn't deserve 50 merits IMO, but I see where TMAN was coming from.
I agree with you on this point. TMAN is a good source, not only because he helped me but also what he did for the other good posters in the community. Being a source is kind of official task and somehow it puts pressure to finish works as sources.

If we look positively on what TMAN has done, we might agree with him on this approach, only because his lack of time and his past right decisions to dump merits on very good posters. I have not observed TMAN but occassionally when I saw him gave away 20 - 30 - 50 merits to the others, all of them deserve those merit dumps.

The latest one, that resulted in the drama is TMAN dumped merits on the bad OP, and it is a root cause. No one at their first glance, spending time to look at post history of OP, they simply and only look at the bad OP's contents and the 50-merit transaction.

Gettting merit dumps are always much happy, I know. I remembered the first time I got 14 merits dumped by actmyname in 2018, it's my sweet memory. Who have not yet experienced such dumps are jealous with the others (please don't deny that). But to be honest, with or without such merit dumps (from TMAN or the others), I am going to rank up, obviously.

In a summary, I suggest that if sources are lack of time to scan the forum and find good posts to dump merits; they should choose at least a good poster, scan post history of that one, then dump merits (10, 20, 50, it depends) on one of good posts of that one. It will not cause any drama, I believe.

Drama causes some users withdrawn their roles as sources (at least Vod). Have you ever imagined TMAN's source-withdrawal will be good for the forum? Being a source is a silent work, without payment and you guys ask for too much, IMO.
5954  Other / Meta / Re: Additional data dumps? on: January 09, 2020, 03:48:01 AM
UID -> name, merit, potential activity, posts
 post ID -> topic ID, time, UID
 topic ID -> board ID, first post ID
 board ID -> board name
The new year, so I bump it to ask for additional data dump granted by theymos.

Besides these formats above, I ask for this one (for merit data):
Code:
time amount msg user_from user_to boardid
1516831941  1 2818066.msg28853325 35 877396 24
I already collected the boardid, so if the merit data has only one additional variable for board's ID (boardid), it will eliminate the need to scrap data (from LoyceV's help) each 6 months. Although I don't know the others need such variable in data dumps or not.

For some sorts of analyses like these:
5955  Other / Meta / Re: 50 merit transactions on: January 09, 2020, 02:19:00 AM
I made my second post on this, with some clarification, please add that one in your OP, and my first post edited a little too (with some clarifications).

As I wrote in my analyses, I don't see serious things with 50-merit transactions (I could be wrong). Especially if we look at how many of such transactions gave away to shitposters. Don't let the shitposters affect the good-posters.

I don't know, but as theymos said he never sticks to anything so the community's complaints might cause some changes.
I am never completely tied to anything, but let's try this for at least a few months and seehow it works.
5956  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Reduce 50 merit limit per post. on: January 09, 2020, 01:36:05 AM
It is curious how people make different analysis in the same data.
It's easy. There are two ways to do that:
  • Replacing all transactions relate to theymos as missing values, that treated as zero or not-counted when making sum of transaction values as well as count of number of transactions.
  • Dropping all transactions relate to theymos from the initial dataset.

That's not 3% of all merit transactions. I guess tranthidung meant 3% of all merits.
You are right. In my initial post, 3% and 2% are for frequency or number of 50-merit transactions per total number of transactions made in the same period.

I forgot to make a note on that, to differentiate between percent for number of transactions and values of transactions. Edited that post today, please check.
Quote
According to tranthidung's data there have been totally 146290 merit transactions. The number of 50 merit transactions is 166 which is only 0.11% of all transactions.
Excluding all of theymos' transactions (excludes his 50-merit transactions - of course), the percent of such transactions falls to 0.08%.
Quote
Also note that many of these transactions were done in the art contest.
The Art Contest initially opened on 17th October 2019 and ended on 2nd December 2019. Let's assume all 50-merit transactions in that period are all from the Art Contest (they actually came from threads beyond the Art contest), then dropped all of those 50-merit ones in that period.

Results (Without the assumed-Art-contest-related transactions)

50-merit transactions account for 1.9% (in values - p_meritcat) or 0.1% (in number of transactions - p_count). Not all transactions within the Art contest excluded, I only did it for 50-merit transactions in that period.

Example: You waste time and thought, energy to make statistics on the Bitcointalk community almost every day.
Why you don't deserve 50-100 Merit, that's the question right now.
It does not matter with me, honestly. I am sad a little but truly said, it does not a big issue. I do this because I love stats. Merits come, good. Merits don't come, not too bad.

There are some potential explanations for this (about my threads):
  • Boring, with figures and charts.
  • Contains some difficult statistical words (for someone who don't know such terms, and who use English as a second language. They don't know what are median and interquartile range, ie.)
  • Repeat what the others do without any additional interesting points (fortunately, I always tried to put additional things, that I though helpful).
  • My current merit record: Maybe. I received lots of merits for my threads weeks ago but it has been slow down when my total merit point crossed 1000. Who knows?
Quote
For example again, the account mentioned by @ETFbitcoin, johank, after spending 125 Merit, the account is no longer used, this also happens to this account, madu
I don't go in-depth with these cases, but basically meriters can not control the future activities of receivers.

If you keep your mind as freshy as possible and look at the page: Top senders to permanbanned users, last 180 days. Who is on the top? theymos.
So, what's wrong with theymos? Has he abused the merit system by sending merits to 105 users who were permanbanned later?
5957  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BPIP] Bitcointalk Public Information Project [Back in Action] on: January 08, 2020, 06:28:51 PM
Something like that (for real use cases of data on ranks): Where receivers received merits from, and meriters sents merits to. I moved further and complicated things from your data and DdmrDdmr's Merit Dashboard. From the results, I think we have interesting overview, but such things should be played around yearly (if we do).

But for userrank, DdmrDdmr has it already so if it costs your time, and some the other things, it is not worth to pay some kinda of resources on it. I agree.
5958  Other / Meta / Re: Suggestion: Reduce 50 merit limit per post. on: January 08, 2020, 06:12:18 PM
From stats, I don't see serious thing with 50-merit transactions!
On the one hand, they (in number of transactions) account for about 0.11% (includes theymos' transactions) or 0.08% (excludes theymos' transactions) of all merit transactions.

On the other hand, in values of transactions, they account for about 3% (includes theymos' transaction values) and 2% (excludes theymos' transaction values).

Why are we so serious about it?


Over the period from 2018 to 2020 (a few days of this year), we have 284993 merit transactions, in total. It seems there is a half-split between 2018 and 2019, it is good.
Code:
       year |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
       2018 |    138,703       48.67       48.67
       2019 |    145,301       50.98       99.65
       2020 |        989        0.35      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |    284,993      100.00


Now, drop the year 2018, and let's how merit transactions distributed.
Period: 01/01/2019 to 03/01/2020.

In terms of number of transactions, theymos' transactions (received and gave away) account for 1.6%.
Code:
    theymos |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
         no |    143,993       98.43       98.43
        yes |      2,297        1.57      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |    146,290      100.00
However, theymos' merit transactions dominate in the value of 50, his transactions account for 31.9% (53 transactions per 166 transactions with 50 merits for each in that period).

Categorisation merit transactions into groups:

All of above are for number of transactions, now let's move on with values of transactions, over categories. In total of values, we have 268283 merits distributed in that period (from 17/10/2019 to 2/12/2019, with somewhat delayed effects too).

With the same formula above, but dropping theymos from the dataset, we have the 50-merit transaction group is ranked at 5th position, with 2.2% of total merit values (significantly decreased from 3.1% with full dataset).

As for now, there is a limit on total amount of merit one can send to another one each 30 days: 50 merits per one user per each 30 days.

For the suggestion to limit total amount of merits that one post is allowed to receive, it is unfair, and unlogical in my opinion.

The forum has more than 2 millions of users so why the forum should have a rule on "First come, first meriters". Everyone have rights to merit the others.

Do you think that these threads deserve only 50 merits?

But this time, it is for ranks
Code:
userid: userrank
Do you mean for only DT1 and DT2 users, or for all users? The former is easy to do, the latter will have outdated information because 2.7 million profiles aren't instantly updated on BPIP.
Initially, I thought of ranks for all users because I thought BPIP has such data despite of the fact BPIP does not instantly update it, especially recent months.

From your comments, it raises one thing that you can dump such data easily. I have the idea like that:
"What if we can observe data on DT 1/2 members over months and see how long as well as how consistent they maintain their positions as DT1/2 members. I know with the algorithm to automatically include and exclude DT members each month from theymos, it seems to be difficult that someone can maintain DT member positions for many months.

theymos updates his trust list each month so if you can, please dump that data monthly.  Cheesy
