So in a post-apocalyptic world without the internet, electricity, and maybe water, your biggest worry would be how to send bitcoin? Bitcoin can already work over satellite or via radio waves. But again that requires electricity or a power generator of some sorts.

How are people going to charge their phones with no electricity? Don't say solar chargers please because majority of people don't have those. And there would probably be a shortage of them since everyone would want one. With no electricity, it's not going to be easy to mass-produce them.

I am a long-standing Ledger user myself and pretty satisfied with my purchase, but If I needed a new hardware wallet today, I would go for a Trezor. Ledger has let the community down several times by not admitting the extent of the database leak and producing faulty devices. I don't think Trezor or any other company would have handled it any better because it's business and protecting your face and interests above all. Trezor also doesn't like discussing the unfixable seed extraction vulnerability, but I think it is something that should be part of their starting manual and onboarding process. Like I said, protect your interest above all.   

Not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean.

They were both created for the same purpose. There is no reason to think that hodlers use Trezor for long-term storage, but they work with a Ledger for everyday transactions. Usually it's either one or the other.

And what features would that be that we don't care about?
 
Most people wouldn't be able to name 50 different coins even if they had a gun pointed to their head. So those numbers mean nothing. Besides, both Ledger devices support the same coins. On Trezor, it's the other way around. The Model One doesn't support all coins that the Model T does.

Ehh, what? I am not sure what a "Blockchain open Ledger Operating system" is, but the difference between the two is that Ledger uses a secure element which is closed-source. You cannot reproduce it because the code is not public. Trezor, doesn't have a secure element at all and is reproducible and open-source.

What app are you installing/uninstalling?
I came across this reddit post where another user had the same error on the Nano X while using VeChain. He got it fixed by installing the latest VeChain app on his device. Try and uninstall your apps manually before updating the firmware, maybe that will fix it. Or updating them to the newest versions.
There are several threads where people complained seeing that error in connection to their Litecoin, but like you said, they fixed it by installing the newest firmware and LTC app.   

Yeah, you should still be using the latest firmware for various reasons such as vulnerability and bug fixes, stability improvements, etc.

Is your Ledger Live updated to the newest version which is currently 2.35.2?

Hi 8Bet,

I am keeping track of the withdrawal amounts and requirements for some crypto casinos in my thread Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos. There seems to be conflicting information regarding 8Bet. Some are claiming that the minimum withdrawal amount is 0.002 BTC while other users see 0.001 BTC in their accounts. Can you shed some more light on this and tell us which one is correct or if both are correct, how is it determined what the minimum will be for an account?

The negative reputation is the most important factor I look at. However, if the casino requires KYC from me to create an account, there is of course no way for me to register and check the withdrawal requirements on my own. I create betting accounts on all these sites to check the minimums myself without relying on FAQs and other data.

I am going to need confirmation for that from their admin to be 100% sure. I will make a post in their ANN thread asking about the minimums. Let's see what he says...

That's a very dangerous strategy. You are relying on the fact that someone else has done his homework but you have no idea if they did. These groups pretend to be made up of professional analysts. They brag around with powerful buzzwords that make the newbies think that those people know what they are talking about. In reality, they are paid groups sending fake tips or organizing pump & dump scams.

True, but the fact that you lost your money remains. And once you find out that you were tricked, you will ask yourself how can I have been so naive?

People generally don't like to hear the truth because the truth hurts. It's honest and brutal. They like fairytales. They want to hear optimistic forecasts that their investments will return huge returns and they don't need to worry. It's just a matter of time before they can start counting their money. 

No, I can't. I am not sure whether the email accounts are somehow user specific, or not. Anyways, you don't need anyone else to give it to you, you can see it in the ban box at the top of the page after you log in. I think when you copy the message (like you did), the ban appeal email gets shortened automatically. Probably to protect it being visible on the forum and having people mass-spam it.   

I doubt that any of the popular managers who manage Bitcoin-paying signature campaigns would accept such posts knowingly. If some of them do get counted, it might just be that they are not aware of it. A simple PM informing them about what is happening in the Press board could change that.

When we are talking about the majority of altcoin bounties that include signature campaigns, I am sure that they don't care about the quality their participants produce one bit. It's all about the visibility of their signatures. One could try to inform them and advice them not to count such posts, but I think that's just a waste of time.

What else can be done? Tagging them for mismanaging campaigns? I doubt spammers care that the campaigns they participate in are managed by someone with red paint on his profile.   

The original source for the third post could also be an Indonesian site. If you look at the image that the user placed inside his post (https://ibb.co/42wCrRr), it's in Indonesian if I am not mistaken. I am certain that the user didn't create that himself and took it from somewhere. Maybe from the same article where the data in his post originates from. After that, he only needs to translate it into English. 

They probably expected that their actions would stay under the radar. They only shot themselves in the foot with threads like this one in which they are acting ignorant and asking why one of their accounts got banned. There are more eyes on them now then ever, and new dirt keep popping up.

When I saw the username "Charles" in the last link you shared, I immediately though of Charles-Tim lol but it's got nothing to do with him.

And plagiarism.

Here is just one of the posts that got nuked:
https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5835/58351191.html

Here is one of the posts where the information could have been taken from. But maybe that one is also plagiarized from somewhere else and is not the original one:

I am sure there are more examples like the one above.
For those who would like to check it out, this is the member's complete record of scrapped posts.

It's an obvious farm, no doubt about it. It's either run by the same person or a few of them coordinating the work. They aren't even trying to hide what they are doing. I mean, one of the accounts was named farmland.

I suggest using WeSpam as an appropriate name if and when the next farm is born.
I am glad they got discovered and gained the attention of a few people who know how to disguise these farmers.

Like the message says, you are probably banned for spamming or plagiarizing other people's posts. Those kind of bans are usually permanent.
What you can do is send an appeal to the email address that is displayed at the top of the forum after you login in. But pay attention that it's the correct email address. The thing you posted in your OP is not correct!

You may appeal your ban also by creating a thread in Meta from an alt account (in this case it's your Stefanie302 account) and explain why you believe that the forum admins made a mistake and how you have contributed positively to the forum. If you don't have a history of positive contributions, it's going to be hard to get your account back.

What you are not allowed to do is use that account to make other posts outside of your ban appeal thread. And you have already done that. Go and delete the post you make in the altcoin section otherwise this account of yours will also get banned because of ban evading. When one of your accounts is banned, you can only appeal and request for the ban to be lifted, but you can't participate in other discussions like nothing happened.

I guess no one noticed that this is thread from 2019 that got bumped.

Anyways, I prefer to see the quote before the new reply. That way I know which post or what part of a post the user is replying to. Doing it the other way around seems unconventional to say the least.

That's not what the user asked. That bot, like many other bots, helps you to see posts and mentions of your name. It's not going to help someone else who doesn't use a bot to notice that he got mentioned somewhere. For that to work, they need to be subscribed to such a service themselves. 

Don't forget that many people use mobile phones to post on Bitcointalk. It is a tedious process to edit and delete big chunks of a post on a phone. No matter the experience of the user, this could also be a reason why we are seeing it. 

Hi zuzie,

thanks for the suggestion. I am familiar with btb88.com and I remember that I even checked the site at one point in the past when I was updating this thread. I can't remember the reason why I didn't include it in the table. Could it be KYC? Does this particular casino require KYC and identity verification during the registration? If they do, that's the reason why I never signed up and/or submitted any of my data to check it out.   

This is the most important thing in your whole opening post. It shows that the industry is full with uneducated (maybe also unintelligent) individuals who can't ask themselves why am I so special that this person needs me? Why is he looking to help me to make money and not his own family, friends, relatives, neighbors, and other people much closer to him rather than an unknown person over the internet? Or if he doesn't have any family and friends, why would he include more people in such a profitable business where you only have to click on one button and a magical software earns you tons of money?

Not falling for obvious scams does unfortunately require a clear head and a little bit of intelligence. 

Yes, the mystery is finally solved.

It was "coin burn". And besides, "coin chart" has one character too many, so it wouldn't fit this time around. Also, you can only make one guess per term. So if you are submitting a guess for word #5, you can't submit multiple ones.

One more round coming up in the next couple of days and then it's time to end this challenge.   

It's interesting that the article didn't mention things like the financial situation of gamblers and even race. When I am in Germany either for holiday or work and I meet up with a few friends, we sometimes visit a few sportsbooks because one of my friends gambles on sports on a daily basis. I often look at the people inside and I notice that almost all of them are foreigners. Germans are nowhere to be found in German sportsbooks. The majority of the gamblers are Africans, ex-Yugoslavia, Turks, and Italians (if we go to one specific shop located in a part of the town where the majority of the population is from Italy). Alcohol, cigarettes, and even marihuana can often be smelled in close vicinity to the shops.   

Good non-custodial wallets such as Electrum allow you to select which inputs you want to spend from. It's a feature that was already mentioned in this thread and it's known as coin control. You control and decide which input to spend from. Therefore, you can select the first, the last, the smallest, or the biggest input in your wallet. 

The comparison with individual bills is a good one. Each time someone sends you bitcoin to your personnel wallet (not an account on an exchange), that becomes a new bill that you have. The amounts don't matter, each transaction is a new separate unit. 

Again, it depends on how many UTXOs (bills) you have in your wallet. If you have multiple, you can spend one of those while you are waiting for your $20 UTXO to be confirmed on chain.

Check out the post I made above regarding Black Friday offers from https://cryptomaan.nl/. It's one of Ledger's official resellers based in Belgium and the Netherlands. If it doesn't have to be a Nano X wallet, he will get a decent discount with €14 off of the Nano S. Since you mentioned two devices, he would be saving €28 in total. But you have to check if the site ships the items wherever it is that you and your friend are located.
