Unless this still applies:
For now we know that crypto will be converted to fiat at the time of purchase happens.
Yeah, I think that still applies. I think dkbit98 was referring to this part when he wrote that:

Quote
Convert to fiat at time of purchase
Your crypto will only be converted at the time of purchase. Link your crypto wallets to the card in priority order for seamless spending.
https://cl-cards.com/waiting-list/

I've never seen a debit card that holds a balance in Bitcoin and converts it only when you make a purchase.
I have never used one so I wouldn't know the way they work exactly. But I don't see why their couldn't be a conversion from crypto into fiat at the moment the card is used to make a purchase or transaction. It only converts the exact amount you are required to pay while the remaining crypto is left intact.

Ledger je jućer bio malo aktivan na društvenim mrežama i izbacili su nešto više informacija o svojoj kripto debitnoj kartici.
Potvrdili su da neće biti moguće trošiti kripto direktno sa hardverskog novčanika i Ledger Live aplikacije. Debitna kartica će imati svoje adrese ne koje će biti potrebno poslati coine pa ih onda odatle trošiti preko kartice.

Funny thing that, unless you live in a totalitarian regime, it's the people you do not despise who voted for the politicians you despise... And that's absurd.
Not just in the Balkans, but in many parts of the world, people have this tendency to vote for jackasses or part-jackasses who become compete jackasses as their presidency keeps going. Even though it's the people that put them in power, many don't see the bigger picture, they get tricked trusting liars, and of course election manipulation will always be a thing.

<Snip>
You seem awfully optimistic regarding the outcome. Nothing wrong with that. However, I don't see the governments of the world giving up that easily if they start getting rolled over with Bitcoin and crypto.

Ledger released some more information yesterday via social media on how their upcoming crypto card will work.
They confirmed our speculations that you won't be able to spend the coins directly from your hardware wallet and the Ledger Live app with the card. You will be required to top up the card by manually sending funds from your LL app to the card's account address. Those coins will then become spendable with the debit card.

What is the lowest price for a deposit with btc? For the withdrawal limit in what day? Can you explain more details about this?
It's a good question actually because the cashier page doesn't display any information regarding deposit requirements. You only see the deposit address and how many confirmations are required before the coins are credited to your account.
@caZZZino
Can we conclude that any amounts that are above the Bitcoin dust limit will be credited or is there an actual limit?

Minimum withdrawal requirements are shown if you click on the Withdraw button.
The min. withdrawal amount is 0.0005 BTC and there is a network fee of 0.0001 BTC that needs to be paid.


Neat little platform. I tried the Goals and Dice games just to see how they work. Claimed the faucet but lost it straight away, of course.
I would like to make a suggestion. You should display a countdown when a user can make the next faucet claim. Currently, there is none. It only says 1 hour between claims.

I remember I asked you for a source about the 1 million poeple that died in US aerial bombardments, not about anything else,
Not in the bombardments alone, but the whole regime-changing conflict and war.
There are various stats by different organizations in this document. Here are some parts where it's mentioned that 1 million people have died as casualties of war.

Quote
This investigation comes to the conclusion that the war has, directly or indirectly, killed around 1 million people in Iraq, 220,000 in Afghanistan and 80,000 in Pakistan, i.e. a total of around 1.3 million.
...
The total number of deaths in the three countries named above could also be in excess of 2 million, whereas a figure below 1 million is extremely unlikely"
Quote
Representative Studies Provide an Estimate of Up To 1 Million
Conversely, results from statistical surveys conducted by the Johns Hopkins University, published in 2004 and 2006 in the medical journal The Lancet, as well as by the British polling institute Opinion Research Business (ORB) in 2007 suggest that already by 2008 over one million Iraqis had died as a result of war, occupation and their indirect consequences.
Quote
Taking the time period of the Lancet study, the confidence intervals are overlapping over a wide range. While the numbers provided by the PLOS study appear to be too low, those of the Lancet study can be deemed a bit too high. Therefore, the number of roughly one million victims for the time period until the December 2011 U.S. troop withdrawal unfortunately remains realistic.
Quote
The ORB study did not have the same quality as the Lancet studies, however, since their results agree well the estimated number of 1,033,000 fatalities seems plausible. The number of casualties may thus have had exceeded one million already by mid - 2007.

Yes. How about getting rid of the altcoin section? Smiley
How about applying a mixture of mercury and tequila on a burn? Shocked

Removing the altcoin boards would be counterproductive if we are trying to get more traffic to Bitcointalk and keep the site interesting for newer generations. If that isn't the goal, then removing altcoins, signature campaigns, and bounties is the right thing to do. People want them whether we like it or not.

Yeah, the US is evil...the US is evil.
There is a very big difference between a country's leadership and its people, culture, or traditions. The US and its people are not evil. But the US, its people, and its army was mislead to wage a war based on a lie of nuclear weapons aimed at destroying the United States. A war that took at least 7.000 lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Bush administration was made up of evil and power-hungry individuals that put the country at shame in my opinion. Even more embarrassment was caused by the presidency of the orange Dick... I mean Donald.

I despise my own country's government, but not my country and its people. And I have similar feelings for the past ones in America. This is now an off-topic discussion, so I am going to stop right here.

It seems that you already have a good number of predictors who are doing an excellent job in solving the riddles, so you don't need an additional one. Tongue
Besides, I don't think I can compete with your regular problem-solvers. I am just not that good at it.

I just remember this thread after seeing something funny.

Did anyone see what Hollywood's favorite character had to say about NFTs? Keanu Reeves was promoting his new Matrix movie when he was asked about NFTs. The interviewer asked him what he thought about the concept of digital scarcity and items that can't be copied. Keanu mocked the idea by saying "they can easily be reproduced" and started laughing. I don't know about you, but I loved it.

You can read about it here > https://god.dailydot.com/keanu-reeves-nfts/?fbclid=IwAR36mu5EtHOCTD3zDzGUWoGAVXov9H00gwXUmtRc1hEBaRq9KGKJMsqxw74.

6712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Scientific analysis on the contribution of lost Bitcoin to holders on: December 16, 2021, 01:46:41 PM
Did you mean reduced supply?
The supply doesn't get reduced if you loss access to your coins due to misplaced private keys or mnemonic phrases. Whether those coins circulate or not, they are still there.

But when the coin become inaccessible it automatically goes out of circulation and the total supply becomes limited, which translates into reduction in the circulating amount so also the same with other coins that offer periodic burns just like ethereum 2.0 forks where some percentage of the fees get burned to reduce the amount of supply.
I remember reading a post sometime ago about the burning process of altcoins, more precisely the burning process in centralized systems. The idea is to positively affect the price by reducing the supply. But that only works if there is already a significant demand. A shitcoin with no traffic remains a shitcoin with no traffic even if you remove 10%, 20%, or 50% from its supply. For tokens like Ethereum, it probably has some effect.

The post I mentioned above, said that in centralized blockchains, even burned coins can be retrieved. The team/developers/foundation/whatever just changes the rules if they want to. They can do that because they are centralized, and they don't need the support of the entire economy (miners, nodes, exchanges, users...).

Oh yeah, so good for the Chinese poeple that they are sheltered from the threats of democracy.
Must be heaven on earth there, wonder why millions are fleeing to the US and EU however they can.
Of course it's not heaven on earth. It's awful living under a tyrant. But is it better now in the places where the regimes were overthrown by the Americans and 1 million civilians (at least) lost their lives in the bombings that led to those regime changes? Do you think it matters whether one losses their life by a tyrant or in the aftermath of a bombing that tears your home down? Think as a parent or a man who lost those closest to him.
6714  Economy / Gambling / Re: How I managed to play Atari Casino before it was officially launched on: December 16, 2021, 10:23:54 AM
I read that Atari was thinking of creating a casino but I had no idea how far that project progressed until now.

In all those screenshots you posted, it seems like you are the only one who was there. Did you by any chance run into any other players? Do you know if you will be able to see other characters once the game finally launches and maybe be able to interact with them? That would be a nice move by Atari.

The graphics aren't very attractive but it's hard to expect modern visuals from a blockchain game.
Will the native token be the only in-game currency or are they planning to introduce some other payment methods? Judging by the transaction fees on the Ethereum network lately, many people won't be willing to pay that.

I think it's killing cygan that he can't unscramble these terms and answer them himself because he really wants to. Grin
Maybe I should resume my word games at some point in the future so that cygan could have a place to make new guesses. Wink

It's impossible to prove exactly which coins are lost and which are just being stored for years. You can't rule out that hodlers have coins on addresses that have seen no activity for 10 years or so. 

what impact does this has on the Bitcoin network and price since the coins are lost forever
Negative impact for the people who lost their private keys, but a positive impact for everyone else. Bigger circulating supply multiplied with the price per unit equals to a bigger market cap.

...and also the total Bitcoin supply will be reduced which bring scarcity.
Like you said, scarcity of an asset is good to bring the price up if the demand increases. Many reports lately have been showing that there are less and less bitcoin on exchanges while the demand remains high. Holders and miners aren't prepared to sell, but buyers are lining up to purchase. That's scarcity for you.
6717  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Xi, Putin wants Bitcoin without wanting Bitcoin on: December 16, 2021, 09:50:03 AM
Bitcoin with its public ledger would not be suitable for the needs that Putin and Xi have. They wouldn't want the whole world to see or be able to find what was sent and when it was sent. Maybe they can improve and update the Lightning Network and open a channel between themselves to be able to exchange thousands of bitcoins. Grin

This is not surprising, this has been going on for many years. The "east" is moving away from US controlled currency and is internalizing its affairs. One of the steps in that direction is replacing US dollar with another currency.
Luckily for Russia and China, they are powerful nations that can't be pushed around like Saddam or Ghaddafi. That's why we won't see the democratic eagle fly over their skies.

6718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can I get my address back? on: December 16, 2021, 09:34:43 AM
Does that custodial wallet have a support or email that you can use to ask that specific question?
That would be the first thing I would try if there is a reason why I need Address A to appear on the screen again. But honestly, I don't see the reason why you would need it.

It's a custodial service. That means you don't have access to the addresses' private keys. If someone were to ask you to sign a message confirming the address is yours, you wouldn't be able to do that since the private keys are missing. I can see that it's nested segwit, but even if it were a legacy address, you still don't have what is needed.

If you gave the address to someone and you are expecting to receive some coins to it, they will still be credited to you once the transaction has been made.
If you gave the address to someone, can't you find it from the history of your conversation with that person? Email, Telegram, social media, PMs... whatever else you used.

How do I know these files are not infected?
You don't. You can't be 100% sure of it. That's what we have been trying to tell you.  

I ask this because say after I do a clean reinstall, then when I transfer these external files back, how I know for sure they aren't infected before I transfer these files?
It's the same question as above but asked differently. If you introduce malware-infected files to a system with a clean virus-free OS, you are bringing malware onto that new setup, assuming there is some malware. 

Then with all the programs I have installed... just write down every single program name I have installed so I install it again after I do the clean reinstall right?
Are there that many essential pieces of software that you have to write their names down on a piece of paper? Just install the things you need on a daily basis, not everything that's been sitting on your PC for years. Another thing, computer programs can also come with malware, adware, spyware, whatever. Especially if you are dealing with pirated software and torrents.
Don't install unnecessary bloatware on a system that handles your crypto and private keys.
6720  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: If your Private Key's are compromised by manufacturer's of hardware wallet's !! on: December 16, 2021, 08:40:58 AM
Why do you bring this question up only for hardware wallets? When we are speaking of trust, why would you trust Bitcoin Core, Electrum, or any of the developers who has ever worked on Bitcoin including Satoshi?

Use open-source and verifiable software. Check the source code personally if you know how to. If you don't, you have no other choice but to trust that others have done it. The more people that have done independent reviews, the better. But for must people who have no idea how computer code works, you have no other source but to trust what other security experts have checked and reported.
