I think it should be allowed to use Bitcoin blockchain for transactions as fair as other reasons. We should not block some reasons that are not allowed to use Bitcoin blockchain for transactions even if the users are ready to pay transaction fee.

I believe solutions should be made not only to stop this escalating attack but also to increase Bitcoin blockchain capacity to cope with bigger demand, bigger transactions per block, bigger size.

It is better to see bigger demand on Bitcoin network and it shows us the recognition of community on the quality and security of Bitcoin blockchain and network. Many altcoins have bigger block sizes, faster transaction times but who care about them for their transactions. If they can, they will choose Bitcoin network.

Transactions are vitamins to keep the network lively. People who are readily to pay those expensive transaction fees deserve what they do but it affects other people who are not ready to accept very expensive transaction fee. They are either smart enough or poor enough and can not afford to pay such crazy fee.

I don't like what are happening with Bitcoin blockchain and its transaction fee but this attack gives us a signal that Bitcoin miners will be fine in future. Even in 2140 when no new bitcoins from block reward, they will still earn enough money from transaction fees.

Bitcoin gives us a tool for censorship-resistant peer-to-peer transactions and it fulfills this mission.

Do you want to make a transaction with bank in fiat currency, digital currency, CBDC and a few hours later, you receive a notification that it is rejected and censored by some stupid reasons?

I believe none of us want to experience it but with CBDCs, you will have to cope with censorship that you don't like definitely.

[GUIDE] All About Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). It is helpful to get basics about CBDCs and how censorship can be done by banks and their CBDCs.

Mempool began to look less deadly when waiting transactions with very expensive fee rates have been cleared gradually in the latest hours. Mempool is moving from red bands to yellow bands which are less expensive for us.

However I agree with you that we don't have reasons to move our bitcoins in these days and feed miners as well as the attacks on Bitcoin network. If many people do this, we can stop the attacks sooner and contribute to bring fee rates to new normality.

The blockchain is created for Peer to Peer transactions so stop making transactions sounds very weird idea. So will the Bitcoin blockchain need to exist either?

It is true that if Bitcoin adoption becomes bigger and bigger which I believe will happen, blocksize must be increased and increased again. I don't know that why in 2017, people only decided to increase it to 4MB maximally for a block (1MB Witness, 3MB Non-Witness data)?

Why don't increase it to like 100 MB/ block?

Does block size increase will bring some technical problems to miners and nodes? Like they have to upgrades their resources.

It is a good marketing for your casino and you are generous too when transaction fee on Bitcoin network is very expensive lately.

Hopefully you will attract more users by this as part of your team efforts to make your casino bigger. Hopefully the chaos in mempools from Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens will not last too long.

About withdrawal request from NowDice, will your team approve and proceed it automatically, instantly or will your team do it manually that take longer waiting time like a half of day, one day?

They are like Binance P2P or other P2Ps from other centralized exchanges. They are not actual P2P marketplaces but I know people prefer convenience, quick trade experience than their privacy that requires a little bit more time to complete their trades. On actual P2P marketplaces, trading volume will be lower and your trade order usually needs more time to find a trade partner and complete that trade with your P2P trade partner.

The slogan of Coinomize is Low fees that is attractive but Bitcoin blockchain and its mempools can be changed a lot by demand from users and its capacity to handle transactions will depend on miners too. If miners plug in more ASICs, total hashrate will increase and increase the network capacity. If miners unplug their ASICs, the capacity will decrease consequently in a same network difficulty period (14 days).

With recent spams from Ordinals, BRC20 tokens, what is the view of Coinomize and what will be your plan for Fees on Coinomize?

I appreciate the team inputs for this issue on fee.

After I clicked on a clearnet link, I got this message
Why Coinomize does not direct users from clearnet to Onion without that message and requirement to copy and paste that link manually?

Paxful did not announce anything with their Twitter. I believe that their platform was not resumed to trade normally after all.

In the past Paxful actively used their Twitter for announcements so if they resume their platform trading, they surely will announce it officially on their Twitter as well as their Paxful blog. We did not see it so far.

If they resume operations, they might have a new CEO. New CEO can be Artur Schaback or an entire new CEO but no announcement from Paxful or Schaback.

Your transaction will be in queue in mempools before it gets a first confirmation. The first confirmation is a hardest one to get but after that, it is on the blockchain and you will never have to mind about its fee rate or how congested mempools are.

In average block needs 10 minutes to be found and if it needs longer time, it won't be like 30 minutes or 1 hour likely. Your transaction will get its second, third confirmations in next 10 to 30 minutes or 1 hour but will not have to wait like 24 hours as a first confirmation. Because new block will be added after about 10 minutes for each.

Except if something really massive happens with Bitcoin blockchain like majority of miners turn off their rigs.

It is different with a first confirmation. If you use very low fee rate, your transaction might not be confirmed after 1 or 2 days or longer while on the blockchain, many blocks were found and many transactions with higher fee rates were confirmed by miners.

Protecting your capital is your biggest task. You can not earn profit from your trading or investment but if you can get your initial capital, you are not a loser.

If you get profit, it is your priority to get your capital first (withdraw it) like you recommended. You can use your profit to trade or invest again. If you do this, you will have to lose very big two or three times to again touch your initial capital or lose it.

If you don't do that safe method and use all money (initial capital + profit) to trade or invest again, you might lose them all after one failed trade or investment.

Drugs, Erratic Dismissals and Feuding Founders: Behind Bitcoin Marketplace Paxful’s Unraveling

There are internal conflicts of interest between Ray Youseff and Artur Schaback according to some articles I read. I think they have issues with regulations too as some other Peer to Peer marketplaces were shut down recent months, not only Paxful.

There are rumors about drug usage and addiction of Ray Youseff but I don't know how trusted such rumor is.

Generally I agree with you that it's not good time to use services from Paxful (if they are back) and new startups from Ray Youseff. We must have more confirmations and time to verify what Ray Youseff did with Paxful.

Your waiting transaction can be dropped from mempools after a while but it does not mean it is cancelled. Mempools only can drop waiting transactions that they think have very low fee rate but only you can cancel your transaction.

Taproot does not involved in Ordinals. Do you think Taproot is responsible for what happened in mempools last three months?

It is a Segwit type and is better than Legacy by reducing used space in mempools than Legacy.

It is harder to win semi finals in aggregated result than to win only a single match like a final match. You will no longer to worry about anything after a final match and can spend all resources you have for that match.

Champions League final and Europa League final usually are last matches in Europe and the times those matches often are hosted will give participating clubs more concentration for those matches. Usually domestic leagues finish before those finals and in some nations, only their national cup final matches will be hosted after final matches in European Leagues.

I think Roma will have big challenge from Leverkusen but they can beat Leverkusen with many conditions, they play well, be able to score goals, defend good enough to block Leverkusen attacking and prevent the opponent to have goals.

I consider Sevilla very high but I hope to see Juventus will make an Italian final match in Europa League with AS Roma.

A spam post, low value post, off-topic post should be deleted whenever it is reported or seen by moderator. The age of that post is not important to decide deleting it or keeping it in one topic.

I disagree that limiting the age of post to 6 months + to consider deleting it or keeping it. Considering about its quality and off-topicness, contribution for discussion in that topic, and making a decision to send it to trash bin.

Start from this [WARNING] Beware of 1xBit casino, investors from Telegram, and Youtube scams!

I am very unsure what happened with 1xBit casino and their activities, advertisement here. They refused to resolve their scam accusations but are readily to spend budget for advertisements in signature campaigns, review campaigns many times. They do have budget for marketing but just used it not good enough.

With bad reputation and risk of red tagged for participants, they only can hire very low quality posters that is wasting their budget. They can use that budget to resolve their cases and move on with good reputation. Then they will be able to hire better quality posters.

I agree that two teams have same quality but I disagree that AS Roma will surely win at their home stadium. A home stadium is an advantage for the host team but it brings pressure to their players too. Because of similar player quality, anything can happen at home stadium or home-away stadium. Just a mistake from player or referee or an excellent strike from one player can decide its result.

If you use the match with Feyenoord as an example, you should say how Roma were very close to a defeat in that match. Dybala saved them with a late goal and in extra halfs, they suddenly destroyed Feyenoord but in 90 minutes, that match was very equal for both teams.

Mourinho is more experienced than Xabi Alonso and Roma will have to hope that Mr. Special will choose a good tactics, good squad to help Roma gaining advantage from the first leg match.

Changing people's lives in what way? Positive or negative, what did you get from your reading?

If you see trading Bitcoin is risky, why do you want to involve in trading?

Trading Bitcoin is a mean to gain profit as well as a mean to have loss.

You win, another lose as in trading, it is a zero sum game. Same total capital but it flows in the market, from you to another, from your wallet to another wallet of someone else.

And you won't have passive income by trading as you have to seriously trade with knowledge and time spent for it. It's not passive.

There will be more changes and upgrades for Bitcoin. Don't worry.

Before any upgrade comes, make your plans to consolidate your small inputs and make your necessary transactions whenever fee rate is cheap for you.

Segwit did not have good adoption since its appearance in 2017. I recalled that Segwit only started to use more since 2019 and at least back in that year, some campaign managers in bitcointalk began to force their participants to use Segwit address for receiving payments.

However, Segwit adoption globally increased one or two years after what happened in Bitcointalk.

With Bitcoin, you should start with investment that means holding it long time to take profit. To hold your bitcoins and don't be liquidated, margin called, self shake your hands, you must invest with your own money, not borrow money from someone to do that.

If you start with trading, you will take big risk and very possibly you will end with failure, debt and your life will not be easy.

Only trading if you have profit from investment and after have a few years in this market especially after you experience two years of Bitcoin bear market in its market cycle which is 4 years.
