Is there is thing called keys verification? Does private keys really expire??

NOT YOUR KEYS... NOT YOUR COINS!!!

You guys don’t read any post that for sure... just read the Subject and jump to conclusions.

SPV nodes, which are the nodes which doesn't have the full blockchain, are described in the whitepaper:
Pool mining nodes as I have explained earlier also do not have the full blockchain. Which means, it is also not a full node.

The extended bitcoin network includes the network running the bitcoin P2P protocol, described earlier, as well as nodes running specialized protocols. Attached to the main bitcoin P2P network are a number of pool servers and protocol gateways that connect nodes running other protocols. These other protocol nodes are mostly pool mining nodes (see [mining]) and lightweight wallet clients, which do not carry a full copy of the blockchain.

But I don't understand a little about the Cancel (double-spend) feature, will this feature return the bitcoin that we sent (unconfirmed) to the same address or to another address? Honestly, I haven't tried the Cancle (double-spend) feature so far. I need a little explanation on this. However, I do know that this feature can cancel the first transaction for a low fee.
In this case, like on electrum wallet, you can cancel the transaction if replace-by-fee is enabled, it is double spend because the original transaction which is unconfirmed will be diverted into another address entirely, the address will be the address on your wallet. But, I have heard cases that it is possible to also divert the unconfirmed transaction to another address on another wallet. This is why it is good to make sure bitcoin transaction is confirmed before accepting it as a valid transaction.

Baba talk wetin dey your mind make we follow chuck mouth. I no know why here come dey dry like this just when we be don even dey close to get our board..we no fit just dey consistent for once
Waiting I think be say Brainboss get more power to get Naija attention for here, he go make good sense if merit giveaway dey for people wey dey bring quality topics and posts for this local thread. Although having like two merit source for better, but having one can still go a long way which fit make us progress having more merit source later.

Also, another thing wey I think be sey, many people among us no know the Kind topic wey they wan bring come, we should reiterate how the topic should look like until we all dey acquainted to it for here. Some people no even know sey this thread can contain topic. I remember when I search for something online, it took me to one of the topics I don create here on this local thread before. We should see this local thread as a board, it go help.

Also, I think Naija too dey relax, e go make sense if Brainboss concentrate merit on this local thread for Naija pass meriting there posts on other boards. Like as I see ham before, Brainboss they give merit like 99:1, or even the whole 100% to other threads. I mean for the forum, na 99% merits for Naija, and local thread na 1%. Na another reason people no dey concentrate for here.

For other local board, they get active users because they know say merit dey sure for local board, but not to be abused as only quality posts go worth ham. I think if Brainboss reduce the merit to 70:30 go make sense. Although, na Brainboss go comment about this one o, how it will go, na him go talk am how he go be. Mine na just way I think our local board can be achieved.

It is better to withdraw to your wallet address and then send it to binance. It is true that you will pay more money, but you will reduce the amount of loss if anything happens.
Withdrawing to wallet is not necessary, the reason why it is said people should withdraw to wallet is because ethereum support more than ERC20 now, it also support BEP2 and BSC (BEP-20)



The best is for user's to know the difference, but according to Hotbit, ERC-20 which is the first and most common one is supported by Hotbit. Then, OP can just click on ERC20 on Binance and copy the address and use it for the withdrawal on Hotbit. It will work as perfect.

Na true talk be that, but I still dey think we members wey get established account already, also wey dey active here can come up with something. Make we make suggestion as we think ham, me get some suggestions wey dey my mind, but e go make sense if Brainboss dey active for here so he no go miss any information about this suggestions. And people can oppose the suggestions or support, but waiting needed is to make the support or oppose constructive.

Any transaction can be included in a CPFP transaction. It is not like RBF where the transaction must be marked as opted-in before it being made. Any unconfirmed output can be included as an input in a new transaction with or without additional inputs and used to make a CPFP transaction. As you say, it might be that the person who made the first transaction cannot make a CPFP since all the outputs from the first transaction are to other people and there is no change output, but that does not mean the transaction itself does not support CPFP.
I get the point now, thanks. Although, there are some situations the sender can not be able to use CPFP due to not having change address in previous transaction, but this should not be considered that not all situation is a transaction not supporting CPFP because CPFP can still be used by the receiver so far he can spend unconfirmed transaction. You are absolutely correct.

Na so, no be waiting we go force, even if we force ham nothing good go come up than not achieving waiting we want. But I dey think of waiting we can do to make Naija dey concentrate for here. Some dey get excuse say their campaign no count local board, and that one no be excuse like that, even if na 3 posts dey get for a week, at least it go count.

Also, I think like you implied as we no dey cooperate, we need to change this about us. Naija for this forum need to dey work together.

But, we wey dey active for here now, waiting we suggest go make this thread active? Because I know there would be ways this thread go dey active.

If you think it is the seed phrase, you will need to remember if you use passphrase along when you created the wallet. If used, you will need to input it along while restoring the wallet from newly downloaded wallet.

Also know that watch-only wallet only contain the public key, no private key. The wallet can not be used for signing transaction, which means you can only see the balance but can not spend from the wallet.

To be able to spend, you need the private key to the public key of the watch-only wallet. And to get that, you need to get the original seed phrase, or along with it passphrase if used. Or the private key to the public of the watch-only wallet.

Transactions are not confirmed by nodes. They are confirmed by miners. Nodes only verify blocks.
I think it should be like this: Transactions are not confirmed by nodes. They are confirmed by miners. Nodes only verify blocks and transactions.



Full nodes does not necessarily need to have the whole four nodes (wallet, full blockchain, mining and routing), a full node can just have two of the nodes, but it will has the full blockchain as the other node. Even the node necessary for solo miners (just as an example) do not contain wallet node. I am not implying that you are not right, but just for clearer view about full node. So far nodes contain full blockchain, it is called full nodes, and used to verify blocks and trrasactions.
6932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is hotbit to binance possible? on: March 31, 2021, 07:20:13 AM
He's referring to this[1]. I'm not sure what exactly they mean by smart contract transfer but just to be safe, I'd withdraw to my personal wallet first and then use Hotbit. Why would you use Hotbit anyway? Because it's the only exchange that lists your token? I'd avoid them if possible. A user also got this problem in the past[2].

[1] https://hotbit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003945774-The-notice-regarding-the-prohibition-of-smart-contract-bitstamp-coins-ph-uniswap-etc-transfer-to-Hotbit-
[2] https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ap2s5v/sending_funds_from_wirex_to_hotbit_dont/
This problem is not only on hotbit alone, it is generally on exchanges that do not support the smart contract used for a token deposited. This is one the of most common mistake today done by traders, and the blame should be on the exchanges because if they support the smart contract, their users will not have any problem, but their customers are suffering the losses. That is one of the disadvantages of using exchanges because if it is a noncustodial wallet the coin is sent to, there are what can be done to get back such tokens, but the exchanges not support such smart contract will be demanding for high amount of money for the token recovery, while maybe some exchanges will not even provide any support.

But this should not be a problem while sending to binance, the smart contract that Hotbit are supporting will surely be supported by Binance. Binance support ERC-20, BEP2 and BSC (BEP20) for ethereum deposit and withdrawal, the OP will just try to know the differences, or he should just make use of ERC-20 for the withdrawal which all exchanges are supporting so far they support ethereum.

Nodes not only verify blocks, they also verify/validate transactions that go into the mempool and at every block.
Transactions are validated by all nodes. The network more decentralized than it looks like at first.
Not all nodes validate transactions.
Transactions are validated only by full nodes.


Well, and what is a full node?
A full node doesn't have to mine...
Not all full nodes have to mine, full nodes are nodes that have the full blockchain, example of such nodes are Bitcoin Core, full blockchain node and solo mining node, all has the full blockchain and they can validate blocks and transactions and relay it to other nodes for further verification. But still, only full nodes can validate transactions, and yet not all nodes are full nodes, which means not all nodes can validate transactions. Example of nodes that do not have the full blockchain (that are not full nodes) and can not validate blocks and transactions are lightweight wallet and mining nodes (not solo mining nodes) that relay block and transactions mined to full nodes.

Try to check this very well, you are getting something not right, that hosseinimr93 post that I quoted along is absolutely correct, because only full nodes validate blocks and transactions, but not all nodes are full nodes.

Nodes not only verify blocks, they also verify/validate transactions that go into the mempool and at every block.
Transactions are validated by all nodes. The network more decentralized than it looks like at first.
Blocks are mined and transactions are confirmed by miners, miners are also the first to verify/validate transactions as miners run a full node. The block and transactions verified by a miner will be passed on to another full node which will also verify the block and transactions and pass it on to another full node and so on. Also, only nodes that has the full blockchain which are called full node are the ones that can continue to verify block mined and transactions confirmed by miners. Nodes that do not have the full blockchain can not verify transactions.

akash07 just opened an account less than 3 hours ago and posting about recovery service, referring people to add him on telegram. Should this be considered as a means to scam and his account be tagged? In my opinion, I am only seeing this as a means to scam.

6937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto to $AUD on: March 30, 2021, 09:04:45 PM
I too will suggest you go for Binance, there are certain extent you can still make use of Binance without KYC. Also there are some other exchanges you can also use as an Australian citizen:

Swyftx (best exchange overall, quality features, low fees)
Binance (best for altcoins)
Coinspot (best local exchange)
Digital Surge (best exchange for beginners, most coins)
CoinJar (best exchange for mobile app, cash deposits)
Independent Reserve (best for SMSF investors)
Coinbase (best for debit card)
Kraken (best for trading)
Gemini (best for security)
eToro (best for social trading)

But, I will recommend you to use binance. You can even make use of p2p on Binance for ease.
6938  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to cancel Bitcoin transaction? on: March 30, 2021, 06:40:39 PM
This is a nice article by the OP. If someone is having a stuck transaction, replace-by-fee can be used, which is even more advisable for not to spend more on fee, but like it is said above, people should make sure the replace-by-fee is 'ON' on the wallet used (, like electrum wallet) before making the transaction

About child-pays-for -parent (CPFP), bitcoin users needs to really know the reason why a transaction can support CPFP, because not all transactions can support CPFP.

For example, if address A send to address B, if there is no change address in the transaction, that means CPFP can not be used by wallet A that has the address A. But, the address that wallet A transfer bitcoin to and yet unconfirmed (address B), can be used. In this case, all wallet B needs is to generate another address from his wallet (wallet B), or maybe he wants to send bitcoin to another address entirely, he just only need to make use of coin control to make sure he spend the unconfirmed bitcoin, or included some certain amount of the unconfirmed bitcoin in his transaction, but he will need to almost pay as twice as normal fee that will cover fee for both child and parent transactions.
6939  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Apple, Amazon and the collapse of all Banks on: March 30, 2021, 06:04:58 PM
No matter what happen, the governments will try all means to regulate bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies in a way it will not have effect on fiat or the upcoming CBDC. All I know is that bitcoin will continue to progress, while fiat/CBDC also will find their way to remain benefitial to the economy, even despite being an inflationary currency.
6940  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I have a few beginner questions regarding crypto trading on: March 30, 2021, 01:37:44 PM
1. I'm currently using coinbase as my main crypto exchange. But I keep hearing from a lot of people who have been trading/mining crypto for years say that they don't use coinbase anymore. Why is that?
There is nothing bad to make use of coinbase, but it should only be for trading, while done with trading, you can move your coin to a noncustodial wallet, and preferably offline wallets. About mining, hardware wallet will be good for that also, exchanges are just for trading, while wallet to save. Remember you do not have the private key while using exchanges, you do not have full control while using an exchange account, the exchanges have the private key, and have the full control.

Also what exchange is the most popular to use right now? Is it still Coinbase?
In United States, Coinbase is the most popular crypto exchange  while in the world, Binance is the most popular exchange. 

3. I've heard mentions in forums and youtube that people who trade prefer to store their crypto in wallets outside of an exchange for security reasons. If I'm understanding that right, that instead of storing their crypto in wallets that you can make on your coinbase account, they store it in a paper wallet or something. Am I understanding that right? And if so, what security risk am I taking by storying the crypto that I've invested in, in wallets that I created in my coinbase account?
Exchanges have your information. Which can either be shared to the governments. Or be revealed to hackers during data breach. Also, anything that third party knows is not as secure as if only you know it.

Exchanges can be hacked, hackers are attracted my millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies managed by exchanges

You do not have the full control. Not you key, it is the exchange key.

Wallet will make you enjoy low fee for transactions

Inconveniences ranging from freezed or blocked accounts to exchange maintainance.
