Okay, I'll just make it and show you the application  Smiley

That would be great, but I honestly doubt it will ever happen. Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to make your app communicate with the bitcointalk.org server? You know there is no API for bitcointalk? I am not saying it is impossible; I just think you might not have a clear idea of how to do it.

I have the receiving address but it is under cashapp as i never do btc transactions and the wallet was easy to receive on 😞

That is why such wallets are not really good because you do not have full control over your bitcoin or transactions.

Do you have any contact with the person who sent you the bitcoins? Or did you acquire them through a centralized exchange? They should be able to increase the transaction fee from their end to get the transaction confirmed.



The receiving address have got nothing to do with the confirmation time or speed at which a coin is being or would be delivered. All it does is simply at the word, receive. Where there could be some manipulations to alter the speed of deliver is at the senders end.

This is not entirely true because the receiver can theoretically create a new transaction with unconfirmed inputs and use CPFP to pay the fee for both transactions.
683  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to bridge BTC onchain to ETH ? on: September 09, 2023, 08:00:15 PM
Does such as service exist? I recall there was one that was called RennBTC (or something similar) however due to FTX collapse they got shut down. I recall it was possible to take Bitcoin on the bitcoin blockchain and bridge it to WBTC which was on the Ethereum blockchain.

So wondering if there are any services out there or so called bridges that make this possible? I know its very easy to bridge with ETH, ARB, POLY, BNB, ZkSync, etc however is it possible to bridge back and forth with the BTC blockchain?

Bitcoin's base layer lacks support for complex smart contracts and decentralized applications. Therefore, for cross-chain bridges to be possible, you must first tokenize native BTC into a synthetic asset that merely mimics the value of BTC.

As far as I know, you can only get wBTC through a custodial bridging process. You deposit Bitcoin, and in return, someone mints an equivalent amount of wBTC tokens for you. So, basically, it is an exchange.

OP, I think your best course of action would be to try a CPFP (Child Pays for Parent) transaction, just as hosseinimr93 recommended.

Hey OP! What do you mean you reached your goal? Are you saying you have enough Bitcoins and no longer feel the need to acquire more? I do not think I have ever met such a person in this area.  Cheesy

Jokes aside, I believe un_rank's point is spot on. Once you achieve a goal, it is a good idea to set yourself a new one.

Perhaps a video tutorial that can be easily viewed on their website would be a good idea to better guide newbies into using and navigating through the app/service. also, I just want to add that on their website they have something called "schedule a demo" From what I understand if you schedule a demo, one of their "professional Bitcoin wealth managers" will show you how to use "a completely decentralized custody suite to manage your Bitcoin.".

I totally agree with the idea of dropping some info hints or a video tutorial on their website – that could really help out the newcomers. Plus, considering this service is still in beta, they will probably make some UI improvements to make it smoother and more user-friendly. Betas tend to start a bit rough around the edges, but with user feedback, they usually get polished over time. So, chances are this platform will get even more user-friendly and attractive to a wider crowd as it evolves.

To what extent can a user misinform or misrepresent facts relating to other users before a negative trust is given, and is a neutral warranted or a negative, if this is proven?

Is a better question if we want to add a little specificity to the topic.

There is a difference between lying to deceive (trade risk) and expressing an opinion. Everyone has the right to their opinion, even if it happens to be wrong or incorrect. Contrasting opinions should be addressed through reasoned discussions or by simply ignoring them, and this should take place within the context of regular forum conversation, rather than using the feedback system.

On this forum, we hold the principles of freedom of speech, or freedom of expression if you prefer, in high regard. Everyone has an equal right to express their thoughts as long as they adhere to the forum rules. If you believe someone is violating these rules, report them to the moderators for appropriate action. If you happen to disagree with someone's opinion, you can engage in a discussion or simply choose to ignore them. Disagreements are a natural part of any discussion platform, but trust ratings should not be part of the equation.

I view your use of the trust system as vindictive and driven by personal feelings because you didn't appreciate someone's opinion of you, and now you are trying to rationalize it.

Coinplay casino already has quite a negative reputation on this forum, and to make matters less promising, their representative seems to have gone MIA, leaving little hope for meaningful responses or resolution to any issues you might encounter.

No need to resort to borrowing, selling your house, or turning to a life of bank robbery just to invest in Bitcoin - nothing that extreme! But that does not mean you should sit on the sidelines forever, waiting for the perfect moment. Invest what you can, whenever you can. It is the best strategy to avoid those future "I should have done it" regrets. If Bitcoin takes a nosedive, you won't lose sleep over it because you haven't bet the farm. And when Bitcoin skyrockets once more, you will be grinning ear to ear!  Grin
690  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which is safest wallet for bitcoin long term holding? on: September 06, 2023, 09:41:23 PM
So my question is, apart from electrum wallet which other wallet is the safest for long term holding of bitcoin?.

Many have already mentioned that the most likely safest solution for long-term Bitcoin storage typically involves using a hardware wallet. However, I would like to add that if it is truly for the long term, in that case, you may not even need a wallet. Keeping your seed phrase in a safe and secure location (preferably in multiple copies) could suffice. Just make sure to generate the wallet on a clean and air-gapped device, write down the seed phrase (or even engrave it on a metal plate), export the public addresses that you will use for deposits, and then erase all digital traces of the wallet. Optionally, you can export xPub (or zPub) keys to external media to create a watch-only wallet on an online connected device if needed.

Where is the chart for this?  Where am I suppose to click on?

Okay, I just looked at your trust feedback, and I gotta ask: What is wrong with you? Do you have some kind of mental disability or something?
By the way, it is totally fine if you do; just thinking it might help us handle things differently.
693  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Usb Encryption on: September 04, 2023, 07:16:41 PM
That password protected wallet file remains password protected, even if you import that into a new electrum wallet ?
No, the password you set up only encrypts the wallet locally, if you or an attacker imports this wallet with the seed phrase on a different device, you'll have access to spend the funds on the wallet and set up a different password for the wallet on that device.

That's interesting. So as we say that the password protected wallet is encrypted, it is encrypted only if it remains on that particular system. If someone copies that wallet file generated by the electrum and imports it into another computer, it will not remain encrypted???

No, that is not correct. When you encrypt the wallet data container (file) on one computer, it remains encrypted even after importing (opening) it with the software on another computer. Of course, you will need a password to access it, and that is the whole point. However, if you recreate the same wallet from a backup seed phrase, you will once again have the option of whether you want to password protect (encrypt) the wallet file or not because it will be a new wallet file.

You do not have to encrypt the seed phrase because you can simply create a BIP39 passphrase. In this case, the seed phrase itself is useless without the additional passphrase, which you can write down and store in a safe location separately from the seed phrase.

So we can write a seed phrase on a piece of paper and make such a passphrase that we never forget, and save that passphrase in our mind. So now if anyone gets our seed or if the seed is somehow get hacked through malware or something, the hacker won't be able to get access to our wallet.

The BIP39 passphrase is designed to protect your backup seed phrase. However, it is not encryption; it is simply the method for generating wallets from a seed phrase. For instance, you can generate a wallet with a specific 24-word seed phrase. But if you add a passphrase to that same seed phrase, you will create an entirely new wallet with a completely different set of private keys and addresses. Think of it as the 25th word (although it doesn't have to be a dictionary word, and it doesn't have to be just one word since it is a passphrase, not a password).

However, if the hacker gets the whole wallet file (encrypted one), then he can import it into another computer and can access the wallet ?

No, encrypted wallet files cannot be opened on any computer without the correct password. They can potentially be brute-forced if the password is too weak.

Bit-usd.co legit or scam Huh

Judging solely from the look and content of the website, it strongly suggests that it could be a scam. apart from the Login and Registration forms, there's no additional information about the company. It's definitely a red flag.

What will happen to the leftover fund? Why do we really bother what will happen with the fund?
~

In my view, as long as those escrow funds serve their primary purpose, which is settling the debt, I do not think we should sweat the details of what happens with the remainder. That is really in the hands of the escrow team to figure out. they probably have their own policies or guidelines to deal with these situations.

How do i create a passphrase for my wallet which i have already created?

You cannot; you will have to create a new wallet.

Basically, if you add a passphrase to your current seed phrase, it will generate a new wallet with completely different addresses. This is another advantage of a BIP39 passphrase: you can have two (or more) wallets with the same seed phrase. One can serve as a decoy (with a small amount of coins), and the other, kept secret, can be your main hodl wallet. So, if someone gets their hands on your seed phrase, all they will be able to access is your decoy wallet with a small amount of coins. Your main stash in the secret wallet remains safe.

What is a BIP39 Passphrase?

I write my electrum private seed on the piece of paper and save it with me but i fear that someone near to me may read that paper and get access to the wallet. So i copied the wallet file on my usb and also write the seed in notepad in that usb. Now i want to password protect that usb or encrypt it so if anyone tries to access that usb, he can never open and read it contents.  How to do this ?

What if the USB gets corrupted and becomes unreadable? Even if you make copies on several devices, you still risk data loss because electronic devices are sensitive to various external factors such as heat, moisture, electromagnetic radiation, electric shocks, virus-infected devices, and more. I think that a piece of paper, or even better, a metal plate, is a safer solution.

You do not have to encrypt the seed phrase because you can simply create a BIP39 passphrase. In this case, the seed phrase itself is useless without the additional passphrase, which you can write down and store in a safe location separately from the seed phrase.

I enjoyed Historical prices view on Coinmarketcap back in the day too because it helped me make more informed decisions while having future price outlook in mind. Good luck.
Folks, are we using different CoinMarketCap sites? Because I still see Historical a data of different cryptocurrencies, for example Dogecoin historical price data
~

My bad. I found it after your reply.  It is hidden behind the "More statistics" button and it's the only way to access it. Initially, it was very much straightforward – once you get to the prices page, you see the option for historical prices. I guess I didn't look hard enough.

I just felt they removed the feature after their UI revamp.

Same here. I found the 'Historical data' link only after reading other comments here. They certainly made it hard to find.

Thank you, Bitcoin_Arena! Unfortunately, I don't have sMerits to share right now.  Kiss

At one side you said it is not a mixer and while on the other hand, you said, it's a wallet with mixing capabilities  Huh

Do you mean to say that we can mix our coins through this wallet and may not need a external mixer ?

No, Mixin does not have coin mixing capabilities in their wallet or Mixin Safe service. This is not the primary purpose of the service. I do not know if serveria.com tested the service or not, but he probably reached the wrong conclusion based on the service's name.


In any case, wouldn't it be better to come up with a more clear name and description of the service? Like Mixin Wallet for example?

There is already a Mixin Wallet integrated into the Mixin Messenger App. Mixin Safe is a standalone service.

Tell me how to promote the token? And which exchanges have the cheapest listing?

So, what kind of token are we talking about here? Is there a real use case for it, or is it more of an idea without a product behind it? The first step would be to introduce the concept and your product to the relevant community, like the one here.  If the idea is solid and the token actually serves a purpose, it should gain traction naturally. Or are we talking about yet another useless "pump-and-dump" kind of shitcoin here?
