I commented in a thread, Proof of authentication, in which OP asked for steps to get link of post to fill it in Proof of Authentication post when campaign required. I made a comment there to answer. Personally, I get url link of my post by these steps: - Making post, like this one. After click on post button, and post made, you will see url link with xxxxxx.new#new at the end. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FYkjcGZk.png&t=663&c=gMJb4DzwxuiQag) To get url link of post, you have to do second step. - Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post. Post title is here: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGSq9KH6.png&t=663&c=2IKioikZpOHWHA) Link I get for this post after clicking on post title is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179810.msg52308293#msg52308293For old posts, not newly published ones, doing only the second step to get url link. To avoid the post burried by shit posts and forgotten over time, I decided to make this thread. Which types of links you want to get here, in forum? Three types, in my opinion: - Newly published posts' links
- Old posts' links
- Topics' links
Method #1: Newly published posts' linksPersonally, I get url link of my post by these steps: - Making post, like this one. After click on post button, and post made, you will see url link with xxxxxx.new#new at the end. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FYkjcGZk.png&t=663&c=gMJb4DzwxuiQag) To get url link of post, you have to do second step. - Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post. Post title is here: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGSq9KH6.png&t=663&c=2IKioikZpOHWHA) Link I get for this post after clicking on post title is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5179810.msg52308293#msg52308293For old posts, not newly published ones, doing only the second step to get url link. Method #2: Old posts' linksThere are two ways to do it: - My second step above: Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post. - Right click on posts's ordinal number inside threads > Copy link address (guide given by @stomachgrowls) For some visuals ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FGV6fHkD.png&t=663&c=TNyGaeVPiY-RyQ) You can also click that link and copy from the url bar. Method #3: Topics' linksSame steps above, but there is one note for you. If you want to make your threads' link shortly. You should do the following step. For this thread, after publishing, I will see an URL link like that: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FibK9YzO.png&t=663&c=xALoZVdbrPvv-Q) If you click on first post in your thread, you will get that link: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FypSuUZt.png&t=663&c=o0hRvZbnvXoihg) Unfortunately, it is link to OP of your thread, not your thread's link, and it is a long one. You will get exact thread's link if you get link as described in the attached image ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsfItTrs.png&t=663&c=NT-Z9anA-gyukQ) Then you will get exactly what you want. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FwlfUXK0.png&t=663&c=t_KLsdi577caig) It will help you if you want to put so many threads in your signature space, then you will have to deal with character limitations. I also think you should differentiate between thread's link, OP link of your thread, and post link.

For some visuals < ... > You can also click that link and copy from the url bar.
Thanks for sharing. I have not known about that, honestly. Personally, I get url link of my post by these steps: - Making post, like this one. After click on post button, and post made, you will see url link with xxxxxx.new#new at the end. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FYkjcGZk.png&t=663&c=gMJb4DzwxuiQag) To get url link of post, you have to do second step. - Clicking on post title, then web browser will be directed to exact url link of this post.

You can make your thread there: Service Announcement (Altcoins). You get more attention and have more choices to deal with coders. By the way, I would like to say that nowadays, it is very difficult to build up a success project, if you simply clone codes from some older projects, this case, PIVX. Investors have changed, and they will pay more time to investigate real use cases that new projects can build up. Without real interesting and realistic use cases, projects will mostly failed. PIVX, on the other hands, has its own drawbacks, that let them and many coins that use code-based from PIVX abused so many times. I am not sure that choosing PIVX-codebase for your coin is good idea.

Lots of useful posts above, I would like to add one important thing for OP. Safety of your funds depends upon two main components: - Quality and security of wallet you use to store your coins. - Your personal method use to protect your seeds and your devices
- Quality and security of wallet you use to store your coins: It is true that you never should choose bad-quality wallets to use, because they can crash, and it will become a nightmare if you already send bitcoin to that wallet, but have not yet backup seeds. The high quality wallets means they are the most favorite aims to attack by hackers and bad guys who are always figure out ways to abuse bugs of wallets ans steal wallet users' funds. Don't worry about that because high quality wallets have strong team behind, who always upgrade their wallets and response fastly to any kind of attacks. - Your personal method use to protect your seeds and your devices As people mentioned in above posts, this is the way you backup your seeds and how you make and store seeds' backup are very important. You have to find out your best ways to do it to secure your seeds' backup, and guarentee that you can use those backups when you want to recover your wallets. Secure your devices to make sure that in the meantime when wallets' developers fix their issues, you won't be abused by attackers. Addtionally, to make sure that your won't do stupid things when upgrade your wallets by downloading fake wallets that contain malwares, ie. Secure your wallets has another important points that you should prepare what your family members have to do to get your funds in worst case when you pass away suddenly, like that: Apart from the risks from your proposal: why would you give your family access to your Bitcoins? If it's meant for the "hit by a bus scenario", there might be another option. I've been thinking about this for a while now, but haven't actually used it: 1. Print a normal paper wallet. 2. Sign a transaction to send funds from your cold storage to the normal paper wallet, but add a Locktime so it's only valid from a block far far in the future. Say 1 million block count or even more (but not so far none of your family members will still be alive). Or while you're at it: create a few versions (1 million blocks, 1.5 million, 2 million) and print them on different sheets of paper. 3. Print the transaction and store it with the paper wallet. 4. If you're still alive a couple of months before the first transaction becomes valid: burn it, the next one becomes your new fail safe. If your family ever needs it, all they have to do is wait a few years, broadcast the transaction, and the paper wallet becomes valuable.

No, it's not necessary but I think it's a great idea. It would be a nice thing to be able to see what the price is when I'm posting in Speculation. I don't check preev all that often and I find that I have to before I write something speculative. Not all suggestions have to be necessary in order for them to be good, and I think this is a good one.
It is unnecessary, I agreed. I do believe that no one in the forum don't observe bitcoin price when they boost their computers. Of course, if they have time to do spare things, and not have to completely focus on important works at their offices. For people whom dedicate their full time for bitcoin/ crypto, sure they will do check bitcoin price after their computers turn on. In addition, real-time price of bitcoin might be annoying, sometime, when we need to focus on what we read and write. It is exactly the same like what was complained by community, and disable by admin, animated avatars. Stop animated images in FireFox / Tor browser / ChromeOK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them.
Anyway, this is userscript, so it can be used for personal favorites, I don't offend it, but I do think that people who support that script and actually use it will still sometimes feel it annoying.

One thing that I use to believe is that if there was no altcoins, bitcoin would have been in a special state, but the invention of these so called altcoins are the one slowing down the growth of bitcoin because they tend to divert attention of users and investors from focus on bitcoin to those projects that are not with real use case, and they also diverted their attention for the payment purpose of bitcoin to store of value alone, which makes most people you see more keen about the store of value of it.
We still have very low proportion of people that are using bitcoin for payment, but it is a wise idea as you said that before we get to that stage where the use of bitcoin for payments will become wide, there is need that we separate our spending coin to that of the ones that we use for store of value.
I disagreed. As basic fact of natural selection, without altcoins, bitcoin would have not reached what it has as of writing. Without altcoins, without competitors, bitcoin developers would have not upgraded bitcoin fastly and significantly like we have witnessed so far. Without altcoins, there would have been less people known about crypto currencies, and less capital flow into crypto currencies like we have witnessed so far It is undeniable fact that there are some things altcoins have done, but bitcoin has not yet made, such as smart contracts with Ethereum is a good case study. I don't think it will be a healthy blockchain industry if in which we have only bitcoin, or only altcoins (without bitcoin). We need both bitcoin and altcoins grow and compete each other in mutual relationships.

Really i would like to know what is expected to be found by investors in the new IEO, for myself i am looking for stable token which the prices always increase and can be used in buying goods and services, so what others looking for and what them needs?
IEO, Initial Exchange Offering, is the game for exchanges. They launch their IEO, their coins or tokens, that operate on blockchain, and looks very adaptive to crypto hot trend recent months. Unfortunately, they are centralized coins/ tokens by exchanges that run those IEOs. Investors are unable to control votality of those assests they invest (through IEOs). Another point should be noted is, most famous, attractive IEOs so far run by Chinese exchanges. Are there any coinincidence here? Moreover, you were wrong because there is no stable token that has price always rising over time. Stable and continously-grown are very opposite terms. This is why we have stable coin, Tether USD (USDT) for years, that has never over-rated or under-rated extremly significant to real USD.

I don't say your suggestion is pointless, but it is not matched with current stats system of forum. Users can not use that page if they have not yet reached 300 good reports: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reportlist;mineIt is unnecessary when not all users can use that page. Furthermore, mod log, sec log have not yet been added in main page after users log in their accounts. [Guide] Reporting effectivelyDo you often use report button? There are guides to more effectively report Report History Only users who have reported 300 good reports have access to this page This is probably one of the most useful features related to reporting. Basically, this shows you a history of your reports, and whether they have been marked good, bad or are unhandled. This page can be used for ongoing evaluation of your reporting habits. Use the information on this page to improve the quality of your posts.

In May 2014 price of DASH was almost 0.03 BTC, now is less then 0.009 and keep decreasing. That is more then 3 times less in only five years. If we continue like this in 2024 price will be 0.002 BTC.
What's wrong with it? In May of 2014, BTC price is $456. DASH valued at 0.03 BTC (I don't check, simply use what you wrote), it means one DASH valued at nearly $13.7 As of writing, DASH values at 0.00848 BTC/ DASH, BTC values at $9633, it means one DASH values at $81. So, what's wrong? Increased or decreased in value? And if you invested in 2014, why did not take profit when DASH surpassed $1500? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) . di 0.00848*9633 81.68784

Just be careful always, because, in the telegram, there's a lot of scammers and fake accounts. Enjoy trading!
Some helpful posts on scams in Telegram groupchats and some options to modify your account, and increase security. Even when you apply those security steps, it is worth to remember that it will only protect your from people whom are not in your contact list. To protect yourself from Telegram users in your contact lists: Please never click on strange links from someone else, even people who are in your contacts. Because their devices, accounts can be compromised, then attackers will send hazardous links to your Telegram account.

The problem is not on the mixer but crypto itself. When my government heard about crypto mixing , it's really annoying because the corruptor will have the advantage for using it !
Mixers are not bad or shady, only people whom use mixing services are bad. Bitcoin has to face with the same thing, bitcoin itself is not bad, only bad people whom used bitcoin for their shady things, money laundering are bad. They, in turn, affected reputation of bitcoin. If you search Bitcoin + Fraud (as key word), abundant results on Bitcoin is a fraud will be shown on your computer screen.

Hey! I want to know how to purchase crypto safe. I don't want hackers to steal my money, and I don't want exchanges to sell my personal data. And is it safe using non custodial exchanges like changelly and shapeshift. Please help!
Using exchanges to store bitcoin or crypto is most stupid thing to do, so avoid it if you are not dumb. Now, let think of which exchanges you should choose to buy bitcoin. - Centralized or decentralized exchange: Most of centralized exchanges ask for KYC, but there are non-KYC exchange like Binance (if you don't withdraw above 2 BTC in total per day). Most of decentralized exchanges don't ask for KYC, so you can use them. Nevertheless, it is worth to warn you that you have to secure your private keys yourself after creating accounts on decentralized exchanges. Losing private keys and account usernames, you will lose both your accounts & your bitcoin. It's certainly your faults, not exchanges. - What you should do next after buying bitcoin on exchanges? Storing them there, nope. Because exchanges can be hacked, you know that, right? So, you must withdraw your bitcoin to non-custodial wallets that you have full control (with wallet private key) There are lots of advanced bitcoin wallets to choose, but which one you choose, you have to read and pratice backup and recover wallets from private keys/ seeds, before you withdraw your money from exchanges (centralized or decentralized, whatever) to your wallet. Don't buy bitcoin on exchanges if you have not yet known how to install, backup, recover with bitcoin wallets. Withdraw your bitcoin ASAP after buying it. It is more fitted to your intention, because you don't want to store your bitcoin on exchanges, don't want to trade, withdraw ASAP is perfect. In fact, you must do the second step I mentioned first, because you have to prepare your wallets before buying bitcoin. [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?Choose your walletNewbies - Read before using exchanges or investingElectrum wallet - Update safely and avoid phishing wallets?
There is another way if you don't want to buy bitcoin on exchanges, is buying bitcoin from high trusted users, whom run Escrow services in the forum. However, I don't suggest to do that, because you can easily buy bitcoin on exchanges.

My dad has been curious why I'm always hooked on to the computer reading about something called Bitcoin. I'm from India. In our country Bitcoin is banned. So to him Bitcoin is a dark technology. He's concerned I might be moving to the dark side.
Just tell your Dad that blockchain is the most important invention in the Last 500 Years in human civilization, and bitcoin is the King of blockchain ecosystem. Why Everyone Missed the Most Important Invention in the Last 500 YearsThat one is not a course, but it is more important than blockchain course, the must read before you jump in reading & learning blockchain courses. Moreover, the Satoshi's lesson is a must-read for any crypto enthusiasts.
We have toons of amazing videos and books for free.
I understand you need to cover your costs, but maybe a YouTube channel can pay your costs if too many people watch it.
I have some of them, not all, but enough. Most of them are free courses. Available courses on Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology from colleges and Universities
