Can't wait to heat interview with theymos and some other OG's, even if that means modified voice, hidden face and all other privacy measures.
It's going to be a struggle to get theymos to say anything. I have been trying since May to get something out of him in My 30 questions for theymos. But he doesn't care.  Cheesy
C'mon theymos, it's Christmas and New Year's Eve is coming up for Christ's sake! Think of the children!

After that Charity debacle with canibalism13, some people would say...oh no, one more donation trying to get money for something, but I believe this story and conditions in Bosnia to be true.
I just had a quick look at that incident. Quite a mess indeed.

What I would like is that you Pmalek or someone else try to contact Lana and teach her how to create Bitcoin wallet, so that she can receive donations directly, without third party (You or anyone else) Smiley
That's not bad either. I will try to get in touch with her and her people and see if that is something she would be interested in doing.

She can even join this forum and make video interview for our new Youtube channel BitcoinTalk Show, if she is interested for that.
Imagine Lana with shirts and clothes advertising Bitcoin and Bitcointalk forum of her own free will Wink
Maybe she will organize a signature campaign. Grin

Talk about the donation campaign for Lana Pudar, I don't think so now, the effect is not good especially for the community in this forum, besides I also saw the press conference held by: Lana Pudar: Hvala na prekrasnom dočeku i podršci o kakvoj sanja svaki sportista, In my opinion, with the news made by Lana and the support from various parties from the Bosnian government and other elements, this will have a positive effect on Lana and the swimming team in Bosnia, I'm sure Lana and the team will get more funds than expected,
In that article that you linked to, she is thanking the general public for supporting and her and making her feel welcome when she returned home. It's got nothing to do with institutional support really. But you are right that she is getting more attention and donations from local Bosnian businesses. And that's a positive thing.

In the YouTube video above, she compared the conditions in the Bosnian camp with those from here biggest rivals. I assume she meant China and the USA who finished in 1st and 2nd spot. She said that she doesn't even have a physiotherapist or a masseur, but her rivals came to Abu Dhabi with 2 of those. Her coach massages her if needed and provides basic care. There just isn't enough funding to bring additional people.

I would vote for such an addition but only if it had a moderator with very strict moderation policy. If it's going to be another Press board, then no.

No social media posts where some famous dickhead prophesies the future Bitcoin price or any other discussions about prices and spam like the date when Bitcoin will be worth $1 million. No one cares about that. If you share a tweet, you have to have your own opinion about it and you need to be able to create a meaningful conversation based on it. Not just quotes and screenshots of tweets.

Shared content should be something like future upgrades, improvements, meaningful partnerships, opinions by crypto leaders, ambassadors, etc.

Update the BTC address.
Thanks, but not yet. Let me get a few more opinions to see whether or not this will work out and if anyone is even interested.
Since Lana appeared on that local show a few days ago, she has already received at least €7-10k from various people and organizations. So people have started paying attention to her success.

I would encourage you to do a 2 of 3 or 3 of 5 multisig wallet with other people on the forum at least for the BTC portion of it. (No idea how ETH wallets work)
I have considered doing that with an escrow if needed. It's a good idea.

...it would be better if you collected the money in Crypto, gave it to them in fiat out of your own pocket and then collected the crypto.
...
And if you do it, please document everything for proof and records the reputation you save could be yours.....
I don't want to be the one who cashes out those coins and connects my name to them. I would rather send the coins to her and her family and suggest ways in which they can cash them out. There is a good local P2P crypto forum in her country with free escrow support. That could be an option.
All communication would, of course, be collected and shown publicly.

How do you rate my setup to watch the first Episode?
Not bad, but you tilted the monitor too much. Straighten it up a bit. Grin

Who's this? I mean someone official related to Bitcointalk show? or Cyrus?
We don't know yet. He said in the video that he is a Bitcoin ninja and that he will reveal who he is in the upcoming episodes. We will have to wait. Maybe it's Satoshi's son. Satoshi Jr or LilSat.
6626  Other / Meta / Re: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity on: December 26, 2021, 10:51:38 AM
But I'm not a big English expert, so I end up needing more time to analyze the overall boards.
What are yo talking about? You speak write better English than many people who can be considered regular posters in the international boards. You use apostrophes and punctuation marks in your sentences. I see people post walls of texts without even a full-stop at the end. Unless you are using a translation software, I would say you are doing quite well.
6627  Economy / Service Discussion / Donation Campaign For 15-Year-Old Swimmer Lana Pudar on: December 26, 2021, 10:44:07 AM
Lana Pudar is a 15-year-old talented young swimmer who was born and still lives in the Bosnian city of Mostar. According to her Wikipedia page, she specializes in butterfly events.



What is so special about this young girl?


First of all, she had the (miss)fortune of being born in Bosnia and Herzegovina – one of the poorest countries in Europe. If she were born in most other countries, she would have a scholarship, sponsors competing against each other for her signature, and full support from her government.

Lana doesn’t have that. Instead, she has a regional Prime Minister. A politician who decided to not award the talented swimmer with a symbolic cash prize because she had already received them on two occasions in the past. But that’s Bosnia for you - work and effort don’t get rewarded. Instead, that money is better spent on political campaigns and election fraud.

On December 24th, Lana and the president of the Bosnian Swimming Federation appeared on a local TV show called Centralni Dnevnik. They talked about her recent achievements and future plans.

The city Lana lives in doesn’t have an Olympic swimming pool! So to train and prepare for competitions, the girl has to travel to Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Sarajevo is a 2-hour car ride away, and to reach Banja Luka, Lana travels over 4 hours. There are some plans to build proper training facilities in her home town, but knowing the speed at which this region moves, that won’t happen for a long time. 

During her appearance on the above-mentioned local show, the TV host asked (at 12:40 in the video) how much money the girl needs to stay competitive at the highest levels. The President of the Swimming Federation said that they spent over €40.000 in the current year. €40.000 - €50.000 minimum is what she needs to remain competitive. A part of those expenses was covered by various institutions.

This is Lana’s first year on a pro-level. As a reminder, we are talking about a 15-year-old girl successfully competing against the best professional swimmers in the world.


Lana Pudar’s achievements 

-   Lana finished 3rd and won a bronze medal at the 2021 World Swimming Championships held in UAE, Abu Dhabi, on 17 December 2021. Here is a video of that race.
-   In the Swimming World Cup held in Kazan, Russia, she won another bronze medal on 30 October 2021.
-   In the European Junior Championships held in Rome, Italy, on 11 July 2021, Lana won 3 medals. Gold in the Women’s 100 Butterfly, and silver in Women’s 50 Butterfly and Women’s 200 Butterfly.
-   She competed in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo as the second-youngest swimmer and finished 19th.

She has already won 5 medals in international competitions in her young career: 1 GOLD, 2 SILVER, and 2 BRONZE medals.


The Donation Campaign

Lana Pudar is healthy and strong. She doesn’t need donations to save her life or to fight disease. I understand that. I still think some money can be collected and donated to help a young girl become even better. Maybe one day a World or Olympic champion.

Lana or her team doesn’t know about this activity!
I don’t know them!

This is not an official donations campaign yet, but I would like it to become one. However, before it does, I want to hear community opinions. Is this a cause you would like to donate to, or should I forget about it?

I would like to collect donations in BTC and ETH and find a way to give it to Lana and her team or convert it to fiat. Anything that can help.

I understand that I don’t have positive trading feedback to hold money. So I have no problem using a forum escrow to keep the funds if the community thinks that’s the right thing to do. I would just like most of the money to go to the right person and not to third parties! Everyone who knows Croatian or Serbian can check the sources and confirm if this story is true or not.

Let’s hear your thoughts and ideas.

Many of those posts aren't something I would personally merit, but merit source or not, he has the right to use his allocation anyway he sees fit. What merit sources are not allowed to is to sell their merits. If he feels like meriting those who like his project or say good things about it, that's his choice.

This dude has given a lot to the community. Researching why he is giving this or that member a merit or two isn't something I would worry about.

I think what Buffon said about Cristiano Ronaldo as destroy team working is true, looking with Real Madrid composition player right now and Benzema as top scorer will give proof how Ronaldo as selfish player, all goals have created by him and when attacking counter all player must focus give chance and attempt to Ronaldo than other player.
The situation at Real was different. When he was in Madrid, he had the support of players like Kroos and Modric. Both of them are world-class players in their positions. I saw some stats the other day that said that since he signed for Real, Kroos has a 93% rate of successful passes. That's just incredible. If Ronaldo was part of the team during the Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Marcisio, Madzukic, Tevez era, it would have been totally different I think. But in a group of mediocre players, his presence means very little.
6630  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? on: December 26, 2021, 07:59:30 AM
Here's the link guys and girls, made sure the video is now public as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK4VqHEf8CE
@Cyrus
Can you add the link to the first episode in your OP so that it becomes visible as soon as someone opens the thread? I see that it's not a long one, so I will take a look at it in a few minutes while on my way to the barber shop. I will post me feedback later. Smiley

Edit:
I found a few inconsistencies in the video.

Is it Bitcoin Talk Show or Bitcointalk Show? The subtitles at the beginning of the episode say BitcoinTalkShow. But then, at 0:13 into the video, Bitcoin Talk Show is displayed on the screen. Finally, at 5:50, when the first episode ends, we can see bitcointalk show popping up.

It's not that important, but it's just something I noticed. Maybe it was done intentionally. Overall, I liked the first pilot episode and looking forward to the next one.
6631  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Firmware Update? on: December 26, 2021, 07:40:29 AM
As far as I remember, apps need to be reinstalled after firmware update so it would be pointless to update them first.
It's now handled automatically. After the firmware upgrade is over, your Ledger Live will reinstall the apps you had on your device before. However, since the internal storage has been slightly reduced, some users could not have enough space for all of them. Since Jerry is using Bitcoin forked apps, nothing will be missing.

Bitcoin Gold 1.6.3
I think I remember from one of your older posts that you don't have any Bitcoin Gold anymore and that your account is empty. If that's true, why is this app still installed?
6632  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How To Verify the Downloaded Version of Ledger Live on: December 26, 2021, 07:31:35 AM
except how come what I bolded below is all in CAPITAL LETTERS?  
SHA512 - 70e4748f68bb949cc048c9db1b2887a865625e25ed071355f24c36e9d0796d4d5aa56ac359fd763 6cd3a522fc206985c514e5be17125d1f0e30b3a7b92dbdabf
I never used Powershell for the verification. I did it precisely as explained in the OP and used OpenSSL. The SHA512 string you pasted is not in capital letters. But even if it is, I don't see a reason to worry if you are getting the correct data.

Also to the right of the bolded above... I see Path C:/users/jerry0/downloads/ledger-live-desktop-2.36.3-win-x64.exe.  I don't recall seeing this few months ago when I did this test with windows powershell to verify ledger live?
That's just the location where the downloaded files are that were used for the verification. It was probably there the last time you did it as well, you just don't remember it. Shouldn't be a reason to worry.

pravi sajt projekta je na https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/payments--cash/e-krona/
Otvarao sam oba sajta sad. Zanimljivo da se ova ekrona.com nalazi na prvom mjestu u rezultatima i na Google i na DuckDuckGo. A domena postoji još od 2015 godine. 

Poslje samo malo istraživanja može se naći ovo upozorenje od Centralne Banke Švedske gdje se skreće pažnja na lažne stranice koje prodaju "eKrunu" i informacija da Središnja Banka ne vrši nikakvu prodaju.

Anyway just read Buffon in the news saying Ronaldo killed the soul of Juventus and I think a lot of people can agree. This should be their priority if they care long term.
He killed the team spirit, for sure. Ronaldo is a superstar and a winner. But he is also a selfish player with a big ego. He comes first, Juventus is second. That's not the way Juventus works. Juventus has a history of winning not because they always had the better players than other teams, but because they sacrificed more and worked harder to correct their flaws. They also had players who loved their team and were proud to present it. Those days are gone now. Juventus invests too much in non-Italians and that won't work. People can't even spell loyalty and they are only interested in the next pay check and bigger contracts.

Juventus' biggest mistake is not a player but a manger. General Manager Giuseppe Marotta (now at Inter). 
6635  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Crypto Banka on: December 25, 2021, 01:31:27 PM
Imam jednog poznanika (prijatelj od prijatelja)...
Slična stvar je i kod jednog mog kolege. Davno nekad je počeo investirati u dionice i solarne panele i zaradio dobru lovu kad je to počelo da se širi. Od jednog dijela zarade je kupio Bitcoin u periodu kad je BTC bio ispod $1000. Prodao na kraju prethodnog bull-runu negdje na oko $17k. Zaradio lijepu svotu od par stotina hiljada €. Kad smo pričali jednom prilikom o Bitcoinu, pitam ga ja koji wallet si koristio i gdje su ti bili coini svo to vrijeme? Kaže on na mjenačnici. Kaže nisam htio da ga držim na telefonu, često mijenjam telefone i kao sigurnije im je na berzi. Spomenuo je i da su bili osigurani ali nisam ulazio u neku dublju priču u vezi toga. Tako da custodial usluge će uvijek imati mnoštvo korisnika.   
6636  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide] on: December 25, 2021, 09:40:05 AM
What are the consequences of using a compromised Electrum with hardware wallets?
First of all, will your hardware wallet even be able to connect to a fake Electrum wallet? Ledger and Trezor devices can establish connections to Electrum, but a phishing version of Electrum is not Electrum.

But let's say they can connect.
If you have a receiving address that you are intending to send the coins to, you should notice a difference if the fake Electrum app is trying to make you send your funds to another address. The receiving address has to be displayed on the screen of your HW. If you are generating a new address, do it from the native client whose hardware wallet you are using, and copy the address from there into Electrum if you are sending to yourself, doing a consolidation, or something like that. Again, you should notice a difference if the address changes while you are creating the transaction.
6637  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Confusing SPV server spies? on: December 25, 2021, 09:15:36 AM
In addition to the Electrum SPV servers, now there is also a bot that knows the IP addresses of those who connect to it (unless TOR or VPN is used).
It will make surveillance a little less hard, but it's safe to assume that among those addresses that will be queried, Alice or Bob will also check on the balance of their own set of addresses.   
6638  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X Passphrase: Attach to PIN versus temporary Passphrase on: December 25, 2021, 08:56:48 AM
Basically, Ledger allows you to set up two different types of passphrases:

  • The ones attached to a secondary PIN. If you want to access your passphrase-protected account, you need to enter this secondary PIN when you connect your device.
  • No secondary PIN. That's the temporary passphrase option. If you want to create a passphrase to be used until your device is turned off, you use this option.

That's the difference between them. One is accessed with a PIN (can be as short as 4-6 digits), the other one requires the entry of the whole passphrase as if you were recovering the account. But in case your device wipes itself, you will need to enter the whole passphrase for either of the two options.
6639  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Reinstalling Ledger Live And Accounts On New Computer on: December 25, 2021, 08:31:17 AM
But I believe I don't need to enter my seed though into the nano ledger right?
Your hardware wallet is already set up, so no. You will only need your seed if the device resets itself during the firmware upgrade which has happened to some people.

I know the first thing I need to do is download ledger live.  Then check to make sure the download hash file is correct.  But there still hasn't been a case where the hash file was wrong right?
The building I live in was constructed about 15 years ago. In all this time, there still hasn't been a case where a tenant got electrocuted by using a hairdryer in the bathtub. Nevertheless, I still don't allow my kid to bring a hairdryer into the bathtub. Do you understand? Shit doesn't happen before shit happens. When it does, what do the stats and previous history matter? Learn to do things properly or suffer the consequences.       

After that, I need to create a new password right on ledger live?
I am not sure, I never had to reinstall LL on a different computer. But I assume you need to create a new account and use your existing or a brand-new password.  

Do I connect my nano ledger so to it?  Or do I add accounts first?
You need the Nano S connected so that it can be scanned when the accounts are being added. If you have funds on nested segwit and native segwit accounts, you need to add those separately. Sane thing for Legacy.

Then only this, do I go and update the firmware?
The order doesn't matter.

When you open the ledger live program, you need to create a new password before you connect the nano ledger s to it right?
Just try it for God's sake. Nothing is going to happen.

We never knows that or atleast its not discussed publicly on forum anywhere but with the help of this thread we found that theymos is actually helping the forum members via PM as well as via threads like this.
It's not public information because it probably doesn't happen that often. Besides, theymos isn't looking to rob its users of a few hundred or thousand $ worth of Bitcoin when Bitcointalk has millions of $ in its reserves. And yeah, theymos is responsive via PM for forum-related questions or bugs. I assume all the other admins/mods would be as well.
