I don't mine and I don't know how good are those sites. Basically the diff is low because companies are moving gears out of China (in theory) and it'll go back up. Then you may be in trouble.
My advice is to read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5348076
That guy was talking about 16 euro cents, you talk about 16 cents, not a big difference, still too expensive.

If your bet is on bitcoin price rising I can tell that:
1. That's not what you should rely on for a mining business. Mining difficulty will probably rise too.
2. You may end up on better profit if you buy Bitcoin instead of gear for that money. (however, don't take this as an investment advice, please decide for yourself what you do with your money).

Please start with the most important part: what's the electricity price in your area (in USD cents/kWh)?
Then keep in mind that the miner produces heat an noise and you'll have to deal with that too.

I'd say that the wording "re-create" is not that much accurate and can be misleading. You seem to not be aware that the BIP39 seed is based on a fixed word list, not the full English dictionary.
And as said, the first 4 letters of each word are enough for saving the seed.



Indeed. And hardware wallets too. When I had to recover my seed on my Nano S this came pretty much handy.

First of all, modern wallets are HD wallets and one can just save the seed (12 or 24 words, usually) much easier.
Second, a properly saved seed or private key should be done offline. Clearly not in e-mails, Dropbox and such. You people don't understand that if you save something in e-mail or cloud you put it on other company's HDD, where they can access it. If an employee will see that, he can easily steal your coins without any trace at all.

So please edit and fix your "advises".

Clearly. But that still doesn't stop us from telling them that they're wrong, now and then. Else some may start believing them, you know...  



Here I think that you are wrong. There are much worse in this world, countries with stronger dictatorship or internal wars for decades.



You may not be too far, (unless you meant Dick Cheney  ), but in the same time you're most probably somewhat inaccurate too.
I was kid in the last years of Ceausescu. You could read everywhere "Ceausescu si poporul" (Ceausescu and the people) and I just loved to rhyme it with "Ceausescu si toporul" (Ceausescu and the axe). While my parents were super scared every time I said that (and this kid was too small to understand why) and shushed me without explaining why, nothing has actually ever happened (luckily).

What I mean is although most probably the nation is full of informers, they won't care of just anybody without a tad more solid reasons.

...also called "out of my belly". 

I'd guess that something like this is what makes them start complying with the regulations, whether they (and us) like that or not.



CZ may find it cozier to stay in the shadow, since if compliance is still not done, charges may start coming here and there... That doesn't mean (at all!) that he will abandon and forget his baby.
And yes, this kind of big movements in the world of exchanges has the potential to bring a new leader; but I'm not sure if there's any worthy one this time...

Do you need by chance an Excel sheet where you put your current amount of coins in one cell and in another cell it shows how much $ it worth when Bitcoin reach 1 million?!
I am not convinced what's the "hard" part in using calc.exe to multiply your number of coins with 1 000 000, but let's see what you actually need.

Tesla Cybertruck delay confirmed, now coming in 2022

I guess that it's even more delayed than you guys would think?

In theory they are pretty much equal. In reality I also feel like they're not.

Air-gapped cold storage is safe because it's offline. But you have to be careful on how you transfer the tx to be signed by the cold storage and back to the live computer; also there are theoretical means to also hack into those too.

Hardware wallet should be secured by its Secure Elements chip (but afaik Trezor doesn't have one). If done well HW should be safe. If you updated with no buggy and official firmware/app you should be good.


All in all, HW has quite a number of "if" here and there and it's also plugged in "online" (it doesn't matter how often). This makes it also in my eyes less secure than a cold storage.
But I know how to do a cold storage. One who doesn't know how to make it properly and use it properly has a much higher chance to get his money stolen than with HW.



PS. OP, you should write better your post, as you can see the wording "offline transaction" can easily interpreted in the way you never broadcast the tx online.

Am lasat timp, poate "se baga" si altcineva. Se pare ca nu prea se face coada 

Nu sunt sigur ca Apple ar fi mai buni decat restul (Facebook, Google, Microsoft,...), indiferent de cat se bat ei cu caramida-n piept... Dar na, perceptia consumatorului este ceva extrem de important, si la cota de piata, si la pretul pe care pot sa-l ceara pe produsele lor. Eu nu am fost niciodata mare fan Apple...



Cred ca adevarul este undeva la mijloc.



Eu sunt doar surprins ca au anuntat asta. Adica... nu au nimic de castigat si puteau s-o faca fara sa zica, ca doar sunt date pe serverele lor..



Puteau si pana acum. Problema in sine (parerea mea) e ca problema cea mai mare poate ca nici macar nu este Apple Inc (pe principiul ca daca ar fi vrut sa faca magarii, aveau ocazia de 1001 de ori), ci angajatii care vor lucra, testa si vor avea acces la aceste fisiere.



De fapt asta cred ca elucideaza "misterul" de ce au anuntat ca fac asta. Compliance si cam atat.



Ei... asta se intampla de nici nu mai stiu de cand. Ca devine o parte din ce in ce mai importanta a vietii este din cauza ca tehnologia (pe care o folosim cu atata avant) o permite si o usureaza.
Ceea ce e mai ingrijorator e ca nu prea se aud voci sa zica ca guvernele nu fac bine, mai ales cand "se uita" in toate cotloanele vietii personale sub motive atat de corecte.



Eheeee, aici ai punctat aproape perfect. Doar ca nu e vorba doar de informatiile de la autoritati, ci de la... oricine.
Din pacate spiritul de cercetator lipseste din majoritatea oamenilor. Majoritatea inca merge dupa "crede si nu cerceta" si "minte-ma frumos", motto-uri sub care dorm linistit si multumiti.

Do you have any proof for what you're saying? Cause from what I know it has been proven that only a small percent of mixed coins are illegal.

There were a lot of Bitcoin clone coins made, and probably more other will come. The only lucky part for Litecoin is that it was the first (99%) clone. The first ones still survive. If Litecoin would have been created this year, it probably would be dead already.
So Satoshi should have not done anything different. On the other hand, you should not preach about altcoins, since whatever you say, they are not Bitcoin. Not at all.

Wow  



...doar in lumea democratica (cu magazine care accepta bitcoin, cu ATM-uri, fie la tine in tara, fie in alta). Parerea mea  



Yep, foarte bine punctat.

Most people do mix for their own privacy, not because they'd have dirty/stolen coins. I can understand that you try to sell your services, but the information you telling/implying is incorrect (to say it nice).



25-35% fee is for desperate people with stolen money. I'll start with the fact that such service is illegal and I'll continue with the fact that I don't see why one would pay (that much!) if he can do it for free. And I repeat, the scenarios you made that make your service look worthwhile are incorrect/unaccurate.

Also, by my book, sending money to a newbie from the forum is called "donation" (i.e. 100% fee). I don't know if anybody is that stupid desperate.

Keep in mind that brain washing works full power on such countries and there's a high chance that he indeed believe all he says.



Indeed.
@The Ghoul: bitcoiners' mindset is on "don't trust, verify". That's hugely opposed to what your way of thinking, since you didn't care to check all you say from multiple sources (I know that it may not be easy if you live in China). I won't also say that you should check, since ignorance is a bliss and your life in your country may be easier if you don't question "them".



I second this. Big time.

I'm not sure whom you intended to answer and I'm not sure what you understand from the conversation, but something doesn't matching here.
If you use translating software for understanding what's discussed here then you clearly need a better one.

From what I've found on the net it seems to be related to NBMiner and mining raven coin?
If you do mine with this machine maybe you ask this in altcoin mining boards. If you don't, you should really check what software is running there...

While on a HD wallet change addresses help enhancing privacy, if you import the private keys it cannot do much (I don't know how it would even choose which to use as change address!)
So yeah, the fact it's disabled is 100% related to the imported private keys.

Vaaai cat de adevarat si cat de bine zis!  



Nu chiar. Daca folosesti cardul, atunci Visa/MC si banca stiu. Dar nu "statul". Trebuie mandat, trebuie ca banca sa aiba chef, ... na, desi e pe aproape, nu e la fel de  "la botu' calului".



Problema e sa nu te trezesti ca statul decide sa-ti confiste automat (smart contract) tot ce-ti intra in wallet-ul de CBDC de la vanzarea de Monero.
Si cu "vand la un prieten", desi intr-o tara democratica poate ca merge, intr-un stat totalitarist sigur nu va merge. De aia imi e frica....



Nu sunt sigur ca block explorer public va fi atat de bun si de ajutor (na, poate ca am o gandire un pic prea orientata spre Monero), dar:
* desi in general nu o zicem cu voce tare, totusi suntem cu juma' de pas mai aproape de un stat democratic decat de totalitar, deci CBDC-ul BNR s-ar putea sa nu fie chiar atat de nasol
* BNR va face cam ce fac europenii si americanii; daca ei fac, o sa avem si noi, vreo' 100 de ani mai tarziu, sa aiba BNR timp sa testeze
* cred ca cel mai probabil vei folosi CBDC-ul ECB, decat cel al BNR
