However, as a disclaimer, I know it's easier to give advises than following them: in the past few weeks I didn't need to spend much, so my advice is based on my past actions (it's not the first time the fees go up "too much"; it's even not the worse situation we've ever had).
People must go through such expensive transaction fee time, experience it to understand that they will need to have different kind of money and different plans. Because life is not smooth, transaction fees are not cheap forever on Bitcoin blockchain or any altcoin blockchain.

They must have a little bit money in Bitcoin, stable coin or cash. Make sure they will always have money to use with different ways and don't waste their money by expensive fees.

Terminology is a very old thread about cryptocurrency terms. It is not updated so you will have more modern terms from Coinmarketcap and Coingecko's Glossary.

There are many threads like yours and they are all dead after created for a while.

For some reason I got this taught from a discussion I was partly involved in where the persons were all complaining on how they lost so much during the bull market and it made me wonder how possible is this if one should be able to avoid so many  factors that posses these results of losses.
They lost big because of many reasons but some biggest factors are
  • They joined the market when the bull run is nearly over. So they bought at top and consequently panic sold at lower prices or bottom prices.
  • They did not take profit and get their initial capital back to be safe. They won big, spent more money with hope to win bigger, at the end, lost big.
It's not only because they spent money into scam projects but even projects did not die in a bear market, they will lose like 90% or more from their portfolio all time high because most of altcoins usually have 90+% loss in a bear market.
625  Other / Meta / Re: Greek subforum here needs moderation on: November 17, 2023, 09:27:45 AM
The Greek subforum in bitcointalk currently has no moderator. There used to be a single moderator but I guess he became busy with life and gave the forum up.

If theymos would be kind enough to assign a moderator, I can say that I volunteer for the role.
You just woke up recent weeks and you don't know that earlier this year, there is a Request for the moderator position in Greek board.

Theymos must see it is needed and there is a procedure to get that position. Do you think you meet any criteria mentioned there?

New moderator needed (Korean)
Who is able and willing to moderate the Politics & Society section?
Report a lot of posts and be a very active member of the community and theymos may ask you eventually.
There will only be one moderator.

Report history is the most important consideration for a moderator candidate. Over the forum's many years, relatively "newbie" members with good report histories have consistently done much better as mods than veteran, well-respected members with poor report histories. That said, not all reports are equal, so a simple report count doesn't tell the whole story. Also, in addition to report histories, it's necessary to consider factors such as the ability of the candidate to be neutral, their trustworthiness, etc. It's also nice to choose a moderator who people generally already trust/respect, but sometimes this is outweighed by other factors.

If a poll is created, I will not completely ignore the results, but I will also not use it as a primary influence. I'm more interested in arguments people have for or against certain candidates.

Here are the top non-bad report counts for the German sections over the last 6 months, along with the German boards which those reports covered (broader coverage being better).
626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Senator introduce"keep your coin act" to protect right to use self-hosted wallet on: November 17, 2023, 06:50:07 AM
The junior Senator of the United States, Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) Introduces 'Keep Your Coins Act' to Protect Right to Use Self-Hosted Wallets
These act was introduced to allow individuals to maintain the custudy of the coins or cryto currencies in there self-hosted wallet. He further stated that the reason for this "Keep Your Coins act" would protect an individual’s right to conduct transactions with cryptocurrency assets without the need to utilize a third-party intermediary. And the reason behind this is a prior to FTX collapse that it would save people from third party risk.
Needing a third party, middle man to confirm your transaction, to complete a trade, to play as an Escrow is nothing wrong.

It is only wrong if you choose a bad one to use. Bitcoin with its Peer-to-Peer transaction design and its strong, decentralized network, can not be attack (in practice) and no censorship is a good third party, a middle man for you.

There is chance for a network 51% attack but cost is bigger than benefit and today with bots to nearly instantly detect wrong things on-chain, many full nodes globally to detect suspicious things, such attacks will hardly to gain profit.

Lastly but in my opinion, most important, don't read any news from bitcoin [dot] com. You have bunches of websites to read news, don't read news from that site. Because it is from Roger Ver team, a scam team of Bitcoin Cash. You don't want to be a free shiller for them, do you?

It seems that you are confusing the terms.
A non-custodial wallet isn't necessarily a hardware wallet. Any wallet that gives you full control over your fund is called a non-custodial wallet.
Custodial vs Non-custodial wallets. It is a topic from a newbie, years ago but it can help OP to differentiate between two wallet types.

Quote
You don't have to purchase a non-custodial wallet. There are many good wallets that can be downloaded freely.
There are many open source non-custodial wallets and because they are open source, they are free to download and use. Those wallets are reproducible with open source codes too.

https://walletscrutiny.com/
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Quote
If you can't afford to buy a hardware wallet, go for an open-source trustworthy non-custodial software wallet. If you can run your software wallet on an airgapped device, it would give you the same security as a hardware wallet.
Some open source non custodial wallets have features to create Multisig or cold storage wallets too.

If OP plans to use hardware wallets, open source ones are listed there

Electrum wallet is an SPV wallet and despite there's a need for personal information if using the wallet.
No personal information needed to use Electrum wallet.

It's non custodial wallet and you can simply download the wallet, verify it and turn of the Internet connection before creating your wallet to use. I mean creating your wallet offline or best on an airgap device!

Airgap is best if you can have a device for this task: a clean device, secure OS and offline.

Last Night I was using My mobile Phone and i stumble upon a website which is kind of exchange where we can buy or sell cryptocurrencies even we can make transaction using this website.
How did you stumble on that website?

Who did give you know about the exchange and its link to visit?

If you have to create your account, on a centralized platform, it is a first risky step. It is warned many times as one of best ways to lose your bitcoins.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts

On top of that, you received a very good offer that is too good to be true. 0.2 BTC is a very big money and it is impossible you can easily get it as a gift and think more, they provide it to many people not only you.

Lastly, you made a bad mistake, I see your email address. You blurred something on the screenshot but did not blur what you need to do most.

Blur it and attach a new image, please.
631  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BTC private key generates wrong address. on: November 14, 2023, 11:33:30 AM
Hello, please I need some assistance. In 2016, we used python to generate a Bitcoin private key and then imported the key into the electrum Android app, sent btc there and forgot about it.
I read through the thread and did not see any mention about possible mistake by OP, that Electrum wallet supported Legacy address in the past like 2016 but they disabled Legacy address creation with newest Electrum version.

With newest versions, they only allow to create Segwit addresses if a user does not know deeply technical steps to create Legacy address via command line.

Is this the problem of OP?

Now, for the past one year, I have been trying to recover that address but the private key doesn’t generate the same address anymore. I have used python to generate 5 different legacy addresses but all are different from the very first one.
Like LoyceV said, it is impossible. One private key, one public key and one public address.

The paranoid user's security guide for using Electrum safely.

People got fake apps because they don't visit an official website to get download links. They also don't verify wallet, PGP key of developers. Only download an application and use it immediately.

They will have more chance to get fake applications if they directly search in Google Play.

Is he Peter Schiff who is a greatest Bear against Bitcoin?

He called Bitcoin is fraud, invested in bitcoin is stupid when Bitcoin is a few dollars to $10,000 till $69,000.
He told that people should sell their bitcoin because bitcoin will fall to $0 over years.

So far, since 2009, I can officially say Peter Schiff and all of his callings are wrong. In future, will his callings against Bitcoin be true? I am seriously doubtful about that.

Bitcoin is not dead
and it will not be dead because of Lindy effect (Lindy's law) as mentioned in The bullish case for Bitcoin.

Gold is still a good investment and with recent actions from central banks globally, it seems gold will have a surge but I would like to choose Bitcoin as it has better ROI (use this casebitcoin.com website and look at the ROI chart.

635  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can the bullish pin bar candle pattern be used to predict the bull market? on: November 13, 2023, 11:44:40 AM
There are those who argue that candlestick patterns called bullish pin bars signal a bull market, but I am not so sure about the validity of candlestick patterns in terms of predicting the right outcome.
It's hard to predict the market because even market makers are unable to control everything, every event on this planet. Hence sometimes their plans will be broken or not fully completed as their initial plan.

You will have an easier life if you don't time the market and only focus on fundametals as well as have a long term investment.

What are fundamentals of Bitcoin that are good for your long term investment?
It's Controlled supply. In another way to represent it, it is Bitcoin equivalent network time.

Congratulations on joining JacksClub as a community manager. Best of luck!
If the whole Jacksclub.io team don't want to restart the casino with a completely new announcement thread, staying with the previous one is better. It's is about history of the casino and in gambling industry, time of the business in it is important together with reputation.

The bottom line of a new member as a community manager of the current team is to do some tasks assigned by the team. I recommend this manager to create a account for this task. The main account which is a business brand account of Jacksclub.io is for important announcements only. It is a common marketing approach by many casino, they will have different staffs to handle the announcement thread while the main account (assume the owner) can be inactive.

I'm thrilled to announce that I've recently joined JacksClub as the new community manager.
If your team want to run a signature campaign in Bitcointalk, please feel free to PM me.

First Bitcoin Exchange - Mt. Gox was the first Bitcoin Exchange, sadly it didn't went well for much longer after they had to file for bankruptcy.
Mt. Gox is not a first Bitcoin exchange.

The first one is New Liberty Standard exchange. Archive of its website. Owner account in Bitcointalk.

Bitcoin Market is not a first Bitcoin exchange and Mt. Gox is even after Bitcoin Market.

Information is there too https://bitcoin.zorinaq.com/price/
Quote
On 2009-10-05 the market price of Bitcoin is first established at $0.000764/BTC by New Liberty Standard, the first Bitcoin exchange ($1.00 buys 1309.03 BTC.) The exchange rate history is available at two archived pages: first, second. Their last known exchange rate is $0.005472/BTC on 2010-03-02.

On 2010-04-25 the market price is established again at $0.003/BTC, using the daily volume-weighted trading price of the second Bitcoin exchange, BitcoinMarket.com (PayPal USD trades). The owner, dwdollar, actually started operating it on 2010-03-17, however trading data for the first few weeks is—to my knowledge—not available.

Recently I found a vlog from Turkey where we can see that there are places in Turkey where people can exchange bitcoin and crypto from the shops. just like we can exchange foreign currency with the exchangers. people in Turkey can exchange these from physical shops and it shows that bitcoin is widely accepted in Turkey.
Turkey is very cryptocurrency friendly and it has good Crypto Adoption Index according to The 2023 Global Crypto Adoption Index: Central & Southern Asia Are Leading the Way in Grassroots Crypto Adoption.

Their government and central bank plan to make their Turkey Digital Lira. A latest news from Turkey this year.

Quote
Being living in the neighbours of Turkey, in the same Asian region, it hurts when I see that our government here wants to declare the use of crypto as illegal and does not think crypto is a good thing. Sometimes I think we need to migrate to a crypto friendly country.
Meanwhile, when you can not migrate to another nation, you can use non-KYC exchanges.

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

Bitcoin Genesis
On January 3rd 2009, the Bitcoin network was created when Satoshi Nakamato (the project's mysterious creator) mined the “Genesis” block. The 50 bitcoin coinbase reward is unredeemable, as it was omitted from the transaction database. This means any attempt to spend it would be rejected by the network. Whether this was intentional or not still remains unknown.
A total of 0.00 BTC ($0.00) were sent in the block with the average transaction being 0.0000 BTC ($0.00). Satoshi earned a total reward of 50.00 BTC $0.00. The reward consisted of a base reward of 50.00 BTC $0.00 with an additional 0.0000 BTC ($0.00) reward paid as fees of the 1 transactions which were included in the block.

There is nothing called as unofficial mining pool.
There's "Others" 1.8% in Bitcoin distribution pools.
Others or Unknown label does not describe Unofficial Mining pools. It's my opinion on it.

We just don't know where those miners come from but they are official miners on Bitcoin network. Hashrate from those miners are official too.

Bitcoin is for privacy and anonymity so it's good to have Unknown Bitcoin holders or Unknown Bitcoin miners.
