661  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some rich person not interest about bitcoin for following reason on: November 15, 2023, 03:58:30 PM
When I first learned about Bitcoin, one of my friends told me that it belonged to a group of Chinese miners who owned all the Bitcoins. Would you like to invest in something like this? If we assume that Cz owns a million Bitcoins and Michel Sailor company has open data, and I think they have 360,000, and if we continue listing the list, we may find that some conglomerates own 5 million Bitcoins, and we still have more than 3 times this number. Either smaller conglomerates or unknown people, and even the list of rich addresses do not all belong to one alliance.
662  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Lost password for elecrum on: November 15, 2023, 03:39:16 PM
Hello, I have lost my password for Electrum. The wallet is password-protected, and I cannot access it, but I still have the original file.
The password I had was either 8 or 9 characters long, and it is lost.
I created this password from a 15-character one which I still have.
What options do I have for recovery?
If you did not generate these 15 letters randomly, then the probability of knowing the correct password is high, but you need to reduce the search results a little. Do you remember any letter or any order of letters or anything that reduces the number of letters to 5 or 4 or at least excludes a specific order?
663  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: [Warning!]Numerous BitcoinJS -based wallets are still under the threat. on: November 15, 2023, 03:06:15 PM
So the weak point is a JavaScript class called SecureRandom(), which generates an entropy of less than 48 bits of entropy, and the list could be longer if we included closed source wallets that rarely update the code, especially since some closed source wallets are still not supported bc1 addresses.
664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: J.P. Morgan Thinks the Big Crypto Rally Is Overdone on: November 15, 2023, 02:26:24 PM
I cannot read the article because it is either paid or requires a subscription, but for J.P. Morgan made some predictions that were not accurate or that were taken out of their wording, and I believe that the reason for this is that these people analyze Bitcoin from the point of view of the stock market without considering that Bitcoin is a useful thing and deserves to have tools different from stock analysis tools, or they make this statement or wrong information in the hope of lowering the price and buying at a low price. Bitcoin is not affected by these analyses, making it ineffective.
665  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Question] Fast way to check bulk address bitcoin balance on: November 15, 2023, 02:08:14 PM

Code:
import requests

def fetch_balances(addresses):
    address_list = '|'.join(addresses)

    api_endpoint = f'https://blockchain.info/balance?active={address_list}'


A simple python script that would help you to fetch the balances of multiple addresses. The output would be in satoshis due to API of Blockchain.com
The blockchain.info API has a long history of sudden shutdowns, in which you will not receive a notification or alert, and the support team responds slowly and may continue for several days without knowing the cause of the problem.
blockchair.com/API is better.


The correct way to do this faster is download an updated list of address with balance List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance

It seems that addresses.loyce.club depends on the data that comes from blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance_DATE.tsv.gz. Therefore, even if you download this file and try to manage the database and then create the API, you are accessing the indirect blockchair/API, which I think would be slower, if If you have the resources, buy a paid service.
666  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Question] Fast way to check bulk address bitcoin balance on: November 14, 2023, 04:50:04 AM
you can try  https://blockchair.com/API for a limit of 1,000 calls per day Addresses per request (25k) Requests per minute ( 30 MIn) and If it is not enough, you can subscribe to their paid services according to the prices https://blockchair.com/api/plans

if you care about Requests per minute only try blockonomics.co as you can get 100 address every 2 min.
If you tell me specifically what you are looking for, I may give you better options, but https://blockchair.com provides excellent service and diverse options.
667  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk Reward Ratio Tool on: November 14, 2023, 04:37:17 AM
You may find Risk Reward Ratio with different names, such as Fear-to-Greed Ratio, Risk Index, Traders’ Enthusiasm, and some other tools, but they all agree on the same idea and differ in the method of calculating it. Some rely on technical analysis indicators, some rely on a questionnaire, some are based on a voting model, and some are predictive models with intelligence. all of them do not give accurate results.

Or the only way is checking every altcoin manually?

You do not need to do this manually, but you can use these tools to filter your search results. Instead of manually searching through 10 cryptocurrencies, using these tools you can narrow your search to only 20.
668  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you work toward hodling bitcoin? on: November 14, 2023, 04:03:19 AM
It is difficult to balance the two things, but as the saying goes, fiat money is spent first, so make sure that Bitcoin payments have a high priority in depositing and the last item on the expense list, thus reducing the possibility of spending in Bitcoin, although I prefer to have Bitcoin accepted at your local business as a future investment. Leave cash payment for daily expenses. Results will vary depending on tax rules, trading strategy and your buying and selling of Bitcoin.

669  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Opinion The IRS Is Making Crypto Compliance Impossible on: November 14, 2023, 03:47:09 AM
1099-DA cost basis complicates the tax record, and even if a program is created that makes everything unified, complications will exist, and failure to do so may return you to FIFO, which may make a difference in calculating taxes if you use another method.
Tracking and calculating gains separately for each address is a never-ending headache and may lead many to stop trading, so imposing taxes based on returns will solve many of this headaches.
670  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Time for bitcoin to pivot from mailing lists? on: November 14, 2023, 03:10:58 AM
assuming the forum has enough funding, everything will be free here for a long time, but reality says otherwise, I don't think we will see more developers returning to the forum, as even old members disappear after every 1/2 ing.

Doesn't developmental discussion already happen on this forum tho? Or are you suggesting that developers should make a forum account and post regularly here?

The number of active developers here is very limited and it has been a long time that there were serious discussions from developers rather than users of the services or discussions related to users of the protocol/service.
671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Challenging Privacy in Bitcoin! on: November 14, 2023, 02:58:52 AM
The level of privacy depends on the extent of your experience and your ability to correctly use the available options. If you think that by using Monero you will be completely hidden, then you are wrong, let alone solutions that try to enhance the privacy of Bitcoin, which is not the goal of Bitcoin. basic privacy is supposed to break the link between his inputs and outputs, that is what mixing services do, which provide you with a simple and easy interface to manage CoinJoin transactions or any other mixing method, to enhance privacy such as time delays, dividing Bitcoin into several addresses, and setting a restriction that you do not receive anything from your previous transactions.
672  Local / 日本語 (Japanese) / Re: ウォレットは金利収入を得ることができます on: November 14, 2023, 02:13:41 AM
ウォレットは秘密鍵を生成・管理するツールであり、プライバシーを管理し手数料を削減する機能を備えているため、収入を生み出すことはできません。
収入を得るには、そのお金を第三者に貸すか、POS 通貨を購入する必要があります。株式の支払いを行うのはウォレットではなくブロックチェーンであるためです。
詳細については、Google で POS CRYPTOCURRENCY を検索してください。
673  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [Warning]: Scam/Phishing Curve Website on: November 14, 2023, 02:10:07 AM
I think, with the development of artificial intelligence, the task of finding and closing phishing links will be easy, and browsers may offer it as a free service, and increasing awareness will lead to the end of such fraud. I reported it even though I thought the site's design would create suspicions that it was a scam.

The site is now blocked which is good there is now a warning so they have no chance to scam now,

they blocked by MetaMask only
674  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [WARNING] Another Electrum fake app on AppStore!!! on: November 13, 2023, 11:33:16 AM
They have a rating of 4.7 in the store, which are ratings that may deceive some beginners. Reporting the application and leaving a negative rating will give an indication that it is a fraudulent service. Unfortunately, many do not verify the signature, but rather trust the default that the Apple Store is safe. I found some reviews from OCT so it's been about a month without this scam being shut down.
675  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Personal data of 300K users, provided at BTC ATMs, allegedly in hacker's hands on: November 13, 2023, 11:17:40 AM
What makes a Bitcoin ATM company service request detailed data such as professions, physical addresses, social security numbers, and other data from the company, such as ATM transactions worth $100 to $5,000? Through this, Basic KYC, such as full name or passport photo, is sufficient, especially since the amount is less what requests by anti-money laundering services, which may request data such as the nature of income, position, and physical address.

This reminds me of the same data leak that happened to FTX after it filed for bankruptcy.
676  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] BitStream - Decentralized File Hosting based on Bitcoin on: November 13, 2023, 11:09:00 AM
While BitStream technically solve the problem, such popular content usually available (either legally or illegally) on centralized platform (e.g. people re-upload on Youtube) or P2P protocol (e.g. BitTorrent protocol).

The idea is not new and has been discussed in some alternative currencies before, but I think it is the first time it has been applied at the level of the Bitcoin protocol.
it can be implemented currently using pay-to-watch with a balance on the Lightning Network. You can open a channel and deposit several satoshis, as every few seconds equals one satoshi, and so on. You can watch the video and the amount will be deducted directly by the channel without the need to pay Bitcoin using on-chain payment or the need for a central balance.

It's not very efficient and i expect majority user would just use SPV client which ask list of file hosting server to certain server.

Yes it needs open-source Chaumian ecash system like https://github.com/cashubtc

What the hell.... another 2-hour downtime.

I'm going to try to talk to the admins about this.
I thought it was 10 minutes, but it seems that it took longer. It is noticeable that they happen at similar times, almost the same time interval, which appears to be an hour late in US time. The frequency of such downtimes is what scares me more than their length.
678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin Investment and Why Are Bitcoin Withdrawal Fees So High? on: November 13, 2023, 09:24:48 AM
It is a temporary matter due to the high withdrawal fees, and if these platforms care about customers paying cheap fees, their fees should be less than the average amount you pay for individual transactions, which is approximately 61 sat/vB If we assume that these platforms want to confirm the transaction in the next block.
Look for any platform that offers cheaper fees and count from kucoin using altcoin that has cheaper fees or wait for several days and the fees will decrease.
679  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] BitStream - Decentralized File Hosting based on Bitcoin on: November 13, 2023, 09:02:02 AM
I read the white paper and it seems that reactivating OP_CAT will open the door to more construction on top of Layer 2 networks, specifically liquid.
Adding new capabilities to Bitcoin may be a good thing, but I prefer that the use of Bitcoin be limited to the concept of peer-to-peer payments.

I don't know why Blockstream is so enthusiastic about CAT, but I believe that Bitcoin's role should be limited to making peer-to-peer payments without the need for more additional things. https://medium.com/blockstream/cat-and-schnorr-tricks-i-faf1b59bd298
680  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Will it affect you in any way if Binance completely shuts down ? on: November 13, 2023, 08:24:35 AM
I read all replies and no one mentioned the amount of Binance' assets. Other than the assets that Binance has recorded as reserves, which cannot be verified, does anyone know a complete list of their investments? I fear that they have a complex list that may intersect with all CEXs, some DEXs, and many services. They have been on the market list for more than 5 years, and this will make them have access or influence over many projects and developers.
