the service Which service? As far as I know, "illegal services" aren't allowed. See for instance certain account sales. The DDOS-service was also illegal, but nobody reported it because it wasn't breaking any rules. |

I still have a private key from an old Bitcoin wallet (circa 2012), and I have a private key. That's probably a valuable wallet, so you should NOT enter the private key into a hot wallet, risking everything if your wallet gets compromised. I downloaded the bitWallet app for iOS, entered my private key there and my wallet with balance and all transactions was displayed. I wanted to transfer bitcoins to my new wallet, but I get the error mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Public key is neither compressed or uncompressed) I don't use iOS or BitWallet, but I can recommend Electrum. Even better if you do it securely, by keeping the private key offline. This is how I would do it: Online:Install Electrum on your PC. Import your address to create a watch-only wallet. Preview the transaction, Copy the unsigned transaction. Put it on a USB stick. Offline and running without hard drive storage:Get a Linux LIVE DVD. Use Knoppix or Tails for instance, or any other distribution that comes with Electrum pre-installed. Unplug your internet cable. Close the curtains. Reboot your computer and start up from that DVD. Don't enter any wireless connection password. Keep it offline. Start Electrum. Import your private key. Copy your unsigned transaction from the USB stick, load it into Electrum. CHECK the transaction in Electrum. Check the fees, check the amount, check all destination addresses ( character by character). If all is okay, sign the transaction. Copy it back to your USB stick. Turn off the computer. That wipes the Live LINUX from memory and all traces are gone. Online:Use your normal online Electrum to (check again and) broadcast the transaction. Bonus:After moving all your Bitcoin, and once the transaction confirmed, check if you own Forkcoins. You're not the first to get this error from BitWallet. |

ChapInRed gave me permission to share his PMs about claiming BSV from old sent-to-pubkey transactions. First: move your BTC to a safe new wallet. Then dust your BCH and eCash addresses to make sure you have replay protection. Move BCH, BTG, eCash and BCD to a new wallet. Now all that's left (ignoring the worthless forks) is BSV. BSV is the most annoying Fork with very shitty software. Don't trust it on your main computer, use a spare system or VM (and wipe it afterwards!) Forget ElectrumSV: Use BSV's Bitcoin Core clone (which doesn't have a GUI): Start again with bitcoind, sync blocks for a while, take offline, backup the .bitcoin folder to use again later Import one private key so I only have one UTXO to possibly use at once. bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "[receiving address from ElectrumSV" <amount-in-address> "test" "ElectrumSV" true(true at the end is for subtractfeefromamount) bitcoin-cli gettransaction [hex string from output of above]Copy the hex transaction string from this Checked it in https://whatsonchain.com/decode - looks correct Tried to broadcast it on https://whatsonchain.com/broadcast~ I can restore the .bitcoin folder and do each of those 2 private keys in turn. it worked! 6 confirmations

Yes, the importing one privkey at a time method was just to do simple coin control. Looks like the lockunspent command would be another way.
Happy for you to quote or reuse as you wish. As we're using an incomplete blockchain on disk, the conf file needs disablesafemode=1 added somewhere, otherwise you get nowhere (at least with the commands I was using).
I just started bitcoind in one terminal (using Ubuntu) and once that was running without throwing errors, I entered the bitcoin-cli commands in another terminal. bitcoin-cli stop will stop bitcoind gracefully.

Anyhow, a bit disappointed about this weekend, we had Labour Day, Eastern Easter a prolonged weekend, and still high fees, I would have anticipated 12-13 sat/vb not that it's consolidation time even with those. Spambots don't take days off. |

How about Jr. Member Kalam001? My gut feeling tells me it's chatbot plagiarism coming from a bounty spammer: Numerous variables, such as the volume of transactions, block size, and data storage needs, affect the size of the Bitcoin blockchain database, which houses all transaction records, but it keeps growing as new transactions are added to the network. And also size is subjected to change and may have changed from my previous update.
Since efficiency varies depending on the situation, there are no certain tests that show the size of the Bitcoin database to be the most efficient. In contrast, Bitcoin's database size is frequently found to be more efficient than that of conventional banking systems when it comes to specific tasks like transaction processing and verification. Creating and designing a simple website involves several steps. Here's a basic guide to get you started:
1. You will have to plan Your Website by determining the aim and objective of your website and make a rough sketch or layout to itemize and consider what content you want to use, include or exclude and how you want to organise or arrange it.
2. You will also have to choose a Website Builder, template and tool that you will use in creation of the website.
3. You must Select a Domain Name that can be memorable and relevant to the name of your website.
4.Choose a Host Provider If you're using a website builder otherwise, you'll need to choose a different hosting provider to store your website files.
5. To design your website you must use the tools provided by your chosen platform to customize the design of your website.
6. Add your preferred website with contents including text, images, videos, and other media and also sure that your content is well-written, relevant, and engaging.
7. Optimise and Improve your website's visibility in search engines by optimizing your content for relevant keywords, adding meta tags, and ensuring your site to be a mobile free website.
8. Before launching your website, test it on different devices and browsers to ensure that it looks and functions correctly.
9. Once you're satisfied with your website, publish it for the world to see.
10. Promote your website by Sharing it on social media, include it in your email signature, and use other marketing tactics to drive traffic to your site.
Once everything is done you can now freely use and recommend it to the work to see and use... |

Maybe we need a different solgan. I came up with "1 BTC > 1 BTC", but that's confusing  Maybe there's just nothing to compare a deflationary asset with. |

the problem is, that you quoted only half of the message: This is a very bad combination. Not many people, including me, will verify everything that's linked there. And if public quotes are taken out of context, we can only guess what happened to the PM-quotes. So I'll stick with this: It's too much to read, and all seems kinda far fetched. |

Reason No. 2: The statement "1 BTC = 1 BTC" emphasizes Bitcoin as a standalone entity, completely untethered from traditional financial systems. I'd argue that's not realistic. I don't hold Bitcoin "just to hold Bitcoin", it's a means to an end. In the end, what matters is purchasing power, and avoiding infinite inflation. While numerically correct, "1 USD = 1 USD" fails to hold true in terms of value. So does "1 BTC = 1 BTC", it just "fails" in the other direction (on average, measured in purchasing power). |

I don't like the locked Reputation topics, but I don't think it's worth changing the rules. Scammers have been using locked threads on the Marketplace boards for years, and the rules didn't change. I'd argue scammers are worse than someone hurting someone else's feelings.

@Coding Enthusiast: Would it be okay to hijack this thread for a week, to solve a 0.012 BTC mnemonic puzzle? It seems like a good test case for The FinderOuter. Address: bc1quf9wp5w7zk2enkjnwh6n82rcy7lv6qpvg723sf word 1word 2word 3word 4word 5word 6word 7: tomorrow I'm posting it here because some of the words are obvious, while other words may require some brute forcing. One puzzle per day gets added, but the last few words may be found through brute force before the last puzzles get published. |

A person who uses Bitcoin in a way that you don't approve of, but paid the fees for block space, and followed the consensus rules is not a real Bitcoin user? In this case: yes! I'm pretty sure it's just one guy creating the massive spam, and selling it to gullible people with FOMO. If I'm right, none of the "buyers" even use Bitcoin. It's like saying someone who pays a spammer to send 10 million emails "uses email". |

The warning not to put all your money into BTC is also still correct. Just like it applies to any other investment: diversification reduces the risk of huge losses. Bitcoin is not an investment, it's a currency. None is going to call USD or EURO is an investment. So you want to call it "savings" if you keep Bitcoin? Fiat money isn't an investment because it continuously loses value. Bitcoin, although designed to be peer-to-peer electronic cash, is mostly used as an investment nowadays. I wouldn't recommend to keep all your money in fiat either. Bitcoin is volatile, the price moves against what? 1 sat = 1 sat. I used to say "1 BTC = 1 BTC", until I realized that's like saying "1 USD = 1 USD", and it's not true. That's why USD-prices are usually related to a year: a dollar in 1960 was worth a lot more than a dollar now. And a Bitcoin in 2010 was worth a lot less than a Bitcoin now. |

The only thing weird here is that if you use the same tool to see fees on which network is higher, you get a different results. I tested it in Electrum (testnet): it recommended almost 50 sat/vbyte, which puts it 0.66 MB from the top. When I tried 20 sat/vbyte, it got 130 MB from the top. With 10 sat/vbyte, I can't even broadcast it. At least testnet has the difficulty adjustment thing, so once in a while it processes a lot of blocks to clear the backlog. But other than that, it's more congested than real Bitcoin. |

Using the API /rest/block/<BLOCK-HASH>.json the response is almost immediate but the memory of the daemon process for each block query increases a lot! and there is no release of this memory afterwards. Googling for Bitcoin Core memory leaks, I found this post: I don't know if it's going to solve your problem, but it's worth a try. |

I think people can run full node even without Bitcoin Core? The protocol is open source, so someone could make their own node. But I'm pretty sure Bitcoin Core is the standard. Is that warning not pertaining to Bitcoin Core but to bitcoin generally? Define "Bitcoin"  My interpretation is that "Bitcoin" is whatever Bitcoin Core says it is. Until the community agrees on a change. With how bitcoin is today, it is better than the software the banks are using in term of security of your coins. I'd argue the entire "euro" project should be called experimental |

It's true that bitcoin is still in beta and still in development phase, regardless the years had pass since it was released. No. Bitcoin Core disagrees with you: This is experimental software The warning not to put all your money into BTC is also still correct. Just like it applies to any other investment: diversification reduces the risk of huge losses. |

Since 4 hours ago, mempools started to be clogged again. Just like last time, it went from about 20 to 400 sats/vbyte instantly. Is it from Ordinals or Runes this time? Mempool Gogggles are as expected: it's caused by the data spammers selling a scam to gullible people. Update: fees are back to 25 sats/vbyte again. It was high for about 4 hours. Still, more than 50% of the blocks is filled with data spam, but at least it's not 90% anymore. |
