No, and according to my little guide, it's even easier. Once Tails start, all you need to do is connect to a Tor circuit, open Electrum, create a wallet, backup the seed phrase, and it will connect to random Electrum server via Tor automatically.

SeedSigner is more comfortable than an airgapped computer once you learn the basics, but it'll take a few hours until you set it up and experiment with Sparrow to see how it works. You don't need to run your own node, even though it's always recommended for better privacy.

Generally though, Electrum is the way to go for a Bitcoin newbie. Sparrow is more advanced. If you don't feel like you'll study Bitcoin, then just dedicate a computer as an airgapped device, and install Tails, using Electrum.

Please note that if you don't run your own full node, then the Electrum / Sparrow server can link your addresses together.

00 and 01 please. Thanks again! 

How can you prove to someone that you generated a random number? Try answering yourself this question, and see why this consensus protocol is infeasible to have.

We've all noticed it. Obviously, if someone pays you to post more, you post more, and if they pay less, you post less. And let's be real. We all do it. I'm myself less active than before.

It's an economic thing. Our time is valuable, and we ought to make good use of it. I might want to play video games all day, but it's just not worth my time. Pay me enough, and I'll master it.

Or just because they aren't paid. If bitcointalk was just another regular forum, then I might be visiting once in a while, and I'd definitely ask my Bitcoin questions whenever I needed it, but it's just not economically viable to be that active. The only active users who aren't paid to post are probably retired OG Bitcoiners.

I mean, I'm not absolute on that particular topic as Satoshi is seen as sort of a mythical being now more, but it frustrates me when people miss the point. Just because we don't know with certainty the person behind Satoshi, doesn't mean that we can start pointing into anyone, writing their real names in Internet boards, expecting to face no penalties.

No, he didn't, unless there's a post from him that points to Dorian Nakamoto. It is curious speculators (who attempted to) dox Dorian.

Feel free to make any question you want. There are no stupid questions.

Well, yes, but my question is why would you want to do that? Bitcoin Core is not newbie friendly, and does not support a seed phrase standard like BIP39 (which helps a lot for backups). Instead, I would follow this little guide and install Tails which come with Electrum pre-installed.

It would be a cold storage, but you should not rely on digital back ups, as disk corruption is a common phenomenon. Instead, you should be able to back up your bitcoin in paper, human-readable. That's a seed phrase.

• Does it display the same error?
• Have you tried replacing your public IP address to '127.0.0.1' and retrying? It makes no sense to use your public IP address if both the daemon and the script run under the same machine.

And please provide more insight apart from yes-no.

I confirm I received the files.

I think I have figured it out, but I don't cross my fingers. create_account method fails, because your Monero wallet and daemon run on mainnet, whereas the script calls the testnet. Take a look on app/Models/Market/Monero.php, line 27. Whoever wrote this passes 28088 in walletRPC, which is a (by default) testnet port, if I'm not mistaken.

BTW, this exact line is mentioned in the last step of the installation document (pdf). But, you're not passing 'rpcuser' nor 'rpcpass'. It should look like this:

Update the file with your RPC credentials, retry and let me know.

(Edit: I assume you're running both the daemon and the script in the same machine, otherwise it is not '127.0.0.1')

Hello. First of all move this thread to the altcoin section. There's a "move topic" down in this page. Select "Alternative cryptocurrencies - Altcoin Discussion".

Could you send me the marketplace script in private so I can try to debug it? I do have a Monero node running, and maybe I can figure out what's wrong, but without this specific web module, I have no idea what might be the fault. It could even be the PHP version. Alternatively, you can try to contact them.

We should create a documentary about CSW in general, not for the recent court case. I mean, I totally hate him, but he's part of Bitcoin history. I can't wait until we gather all the forgeries in one place, I have just lost count.

Petition to call it "How many Wrongs make a Wright?".  (Not mine)

Hahaha! It's been a while since I laughed that hard. 

- Do you know what's an unsigned integer?
- I do. It's not an integer with...
- With what?

Let's see if security expert Craig Wright can answer the 15th question and get the million dollars!

This one looks sick. It's thick enough. Although I can't promise you anything if you're buying it from Amazon. I had the honor to drink it from an official Rakomeladiko, as the Cretan restaurant is called. Fortunately I was with friends, otherwise I would probably not be in here talking with you. 

Not an expert, but the private address 10.2.0.1 indicates that there might be a NAT device or private network within your ISP's infrastructure. Check canyouseeme.org as told by ranochigo and tell us what you see. According to what you've said, it should display "Error: I could not see your service on port 8333". Does it?

You can enable incoming connections via Tor with -listenonion and completely bypass any such ISP or firewall limits. It will load in bitnodes.io as well.

Yeah... I meant straight as "non-curving", not the sexual adjective.

Ouzo when you drink, you become straight. (Sounds better in Greek  )

I've tried all these drinks, and I'm yet to find one to compete this: Rakomelo. This thing just blows you away.

Bump.

Electrum warns you to never disclose it, or type it in a website, or store it electronically in general; it also tells you to save it on paper and with the correct order. That's the only wallet software I can think of that I'd recommend it to a newbie. I just checked Sparrow and it does not warn enough for a newbie, but I'd never suggest it in the first place. It contains a lot of complicated terminology like "script types", "policy types", "keystores" etc., that would confuse them. Bitcoin Core is another newbie unfriendly wallet, and it neither supports a seed phrase standard.

Sorry, I'm not following the Vod - OgNasty forum drama. I had once tried to read it, but I was just lost after a couple of minutes. So, yeah. Any other examples?

Yes, but the process of identifying someone is the prerequisite for doxxing them. You obviously can't dox someone if you don't know who they are, but the process of de-anonymizing someone online in public is enough to inevitably have the same consequences of doxxing them.

How would you feel if I, a data mining analyst, created a new topic, posting my research around the pseudonym "dkbit98", presenting horrifyingly accurate analysis which involved running metrics like textual analysis, essentially matching you with a single digit number of suspects (you included) with minimum uncertainty? Wouldn't you start feeling like you're having your privacy invaded? Sure, it is not solid evidence, and you can refuse it in real life all you like, but it is clearly a dox attempt.

There is no "exit strategy". Bitcoin is, per se, the exit. It is not a means, but an end. The way I see it, is to sell a few coins in case you really need them for your livelihood or something even more serious, but in general I personally find it obtuse to "exit" from the future of money.

Judging by the replies, though, I can notice lots of weak hands.

Can you give us a few examples? I have never witnessed DT1 people meriting doxxers.

I just tried installing a Monero full node on my Raspberry Pi 4 today. It didn't go well. Installation is spot on, and I'm glad that I could use the Monero GUI (which is officially supported by Monero dev team), but it's just too resource-requiring for a Pi that already runs a Bitcoin node.

The ugly part wasn't synchronization. That took a week on my HDD, and it's a reasonable amount of time given that Monero has an exponentially larger spend index size. The ugly part is that it's faster to run a pruned node on my main computer (with no running in the background) and open it up whenever I want to make a transaction, than connecting to my Raspberry Pi via remote node. It was trying to calculate the automatic fee, and had stuck...

Does it go slow to you too?
