I used a coinomi wallet. Would that be the problem? I tried on Coinomi (which is much more work), but it didn't verify either. Try to verify it by yourself. I tried again and it verified the message. Thanks. That's weird, considering I couldn't verify it. Has anyone else been able to verify this message? -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Sparrow gives me these two options. Shouldn't Legacy signatures work on any wallet? Bitcoin Core can verify yours. |

Isn't this much easier without using a Descriptor Wallet? You can just create a new wallet and untick it. I must admit I've never used a Descriptor Wallet, and no doubt the developers had a good reason for it, but importaddress: importaddress "address" ( "label" rescan p2sh ) looks much easier than this: importdescriptors "[{\"desc\": \"wpkh([66bb13d5/84'/0'/0']xpub6CtDSW4S3XVd5uYp9CgsLTZKQcKieJSmjehcvfVJBSy1rPbkKNU3T6UmZ3mn7DoSsTsM6uH8ZKem7LQh3PHyrBAtZopSvF2tonEE7foTWFe/0/*)#v3w0q0zv\", \"range\": [0, 1000], \"timestamp\": 1647182091, \"internal\": false, \"watchonly\": true, \"active\": true}]" |

Well, if you run a Bitcoin node behind Tor, you're not running a Tor exit node. Just sending and receiving data from the Tor network. Technically no different than spinning up a VM with VNC and opening Tor browser on that, right?
Unless that's also forbidden, I don't see why a Bitcoin node with Tor connectivity should be. I've sent my server's sponsor a message, just to be sure If it's allowed, it will be my first adventure running anything else than just the Tor browser, so I may come back with some questions. |

10x more seems a bit excessive and I really hope this is not going to be the case. ANWB has Dutch electricity prices (market prices) per day/week/month/year for the past years, excluding taxes. This is 3 years ago (August 2019):  This is now (August 2022):  I'll highlight a day: August 19, 2019 (a Monday):  August 19, 2022 (a Friday):  That's a 16-fold increase on August 19 in just 3 years. I'm pretty sure our prices are very similar to German prices. Natural gas is now 10-15 times more expensive than it used to be. Sorry, this 17 days old post is outdated. Natural gas is now 20 times more expensive than it used to be.
Of course, for consumers the difference is less, because energy was always highly taxed and there's now even a temporary tax reduction. But still, the everage new energy contract now costs €4000 per year more than a year ago. And this data is already old, because gas prices went up further. |

I assume it will be the same as the bailouts: if tax payers can't pay for it, government debt will just go up and printer goes BRRR. That just means the value of your fiat drops more, but you'll get back the same amount. Or they will just take away all your property. They did a bail-in in Cyprus in 2013. People complained, so I don't think they'll do that again. Instead, they just went full BRRR and now take much more money through inflation than they ever could from a bail-in. Combination of money printing, huge inflation or hyperinflation and rising prices will make paying taxes, debt and everything else much harder for regular people. It more and more feels like fiat money itself is a scam. |

we also need clearnet nodes My node "only" uploads 40 GB per day (I set the target to 500). Also when downloading Bitcoin Core, I never got the idea available bandwidth from other nodes was one of the bottlenecks. But when I compare uploads to downloads, the node uploads 50 times more! If that means there are about 50 downloading nodes for every uploading node, the ratio isn't very good. clearnet + Tor nodes that 'join' the two networks. My guess is most webhosts won't appreciate that, right? |

It could be more efficient if you utilize walletnotify which automatically execute Bash script when you receive Bitcoin. Will that be fast enough, compared the the (no doubt) specialized software used by brainwallet crackers? |

I have setup an Ofshore Bitcoin transaction platform. No you didn't. You have no idea what you're doing: I want to know why all the Bitcoin has be in the Blockchain ? I also want to learn about how Bitcoin really work ? Where exactly Bitcoins are Stored in the database ? Is it in the Bitcoin Core QT or in the Blockchain.Com ? Is it true that Bitcoin and Blockchain do not have a central server ? I am looking for Satoshi Nakamoto. If you are Satoshi Nakamoto please PM me. I have 'message' for you. I am just a Monk, a Digital Monk. I have expertise on numerical computation. I am living on Bitcoin for the last six month on Bitcoin. Some one donated some Bitcoin to me and as I have no income ~ I have spent about $5000 dollars worth of Bitcoin to buy foods and pay for the bills.
~
I am really thanking to the unknown man who donated a tiny amount of Bitcoin that really helped me over the last 6 months.
I run a Charity. I am a Monk. Satoshi Nakamoto is a time traveller.
I have got over $4000 dollars bank debts with Amex.
I have no income. So I have used the charity Bitcoin to buy foods only. I live a simple life, one bread and one bottle of water. I tried to raise money by taking a further loan of $20000 dollars from my banks but the banks have refused to lend me money
I cannot go back to labour market to earn wages by working for some corporation as a slave labour.
I do not like to earn money and pay 30 percentage income tax. I was not born to pay tax any tax collector. Collecting taxes from citizen is illegal. I want to know how to import my "Bitcoin Charity Address" in Electrum or in Bitcoin Core. I am here to learn about how to manage BTC address and how to use the Blockchain and Bitcoin QT. I have a Wallet in Blockchain.Com. I want import it to my Bitcoin Core QT. It is not allowing me to import it. Can anyone assist me and guide me step by step to import my Bitcoin Address ? For further information join my thread and learn how to make secure Bitcoin transaction ? Lol. I'm not sure what your angle is, but I'm sure you're lying. If you are selling Bitcoin because you need cash then you can create an account with any Bitcoin exchange and transfer your Bitcoin to the exchange for selling. It risky for seller if they want to sell a large amounts of coins. So they need and intermediatory platform or Bitcoin deal making agency to conduct the transaction. For this purpose I have setup an Ofshore Bitcoin transaction platform. It is completely anonymous and secure for both party buyers and sellers.
My platform is fully competent with legal transaction criteria. Therefore it protect the sellers and buyers from get scammed. I think you're a scammer. Having you as a middleman in any transaction largely increases the risk. |

Copper Member fazal-akuma Banned! caught my attention by advertising on the tech board. Please ban him for plagiarism: Copy: What Changed Since 2008 and 2009?
Bitcoin’s lifespan contains an enormous history of ups and downs, both in terms of its dollar price as well as its development and support. For an idea that started as an anonymous research paper, its reputation and large market capitalization are astounding. To enjoy these accomplishments Bitcoin had to endure several diversions from its original white paper:
Mining centralization:
Bitcoin’s popularity drove its price up, which made mining very lucrative. Though the network is decentralized, those with enough money built large mining facilities in areas that subsidize electricity, thereby concentrating an important source of Bitcoin’s power into the hands of a few.
Incentives:
Part six of the white paper outlines the rewards to miners, but even the largest of them are not immune to market forces. Mining Bitcoin gets progressively harder as the network grows, and so eventually mining it en mass requires a lot of hardware, electricity, and cooling. This creates a break-even point for mining, which is a factor that was not anticipated in the white paper.
Blockchain’s size:
Part seven of the white paper is about keeping blockchain’s size at a minimum, and so far, it’s done a decent job. However, at around 398 GB at last measure, it is a significant burden for many retail machines to store.
Privacy:
Satoshi illustrates his vision for private transactions in part 10, but Bitcoin is now only private for those who take great caution to ensure their anonymity. Most Bitcoin is now traded between centralized exchanges that require identification (and occasionally bank account verification), so it is not difficult to trace whom it belongs to or where it is going. Bitcoin’s speculation-fueled popularity put it in the spotlight of government and central banks long ago, and though people understand institutional finance cannot ever destroy Bitcoin entirely, at this point it is as much a part of Bitcoin as regular users are.

I believe most merit sources don't actually go looking for meritorious posts What makes you think it's a requirement to "go looking" for posts? I'm a Merit source, and I read what I want to read. If that's worth receiving Merit, I Merit it. On rare occasions, I check someone's post history to see if I can dump more Merit, but nobody should expect me to read topics I'm not interested in. FWIW: people have also requested to be removed as Merit source. It has nothing to do with being on DT1. I'll include this image since what merit source should do is find and give merit to post that are objectively good quality.  Look what you did! Now you got yourself an Untrusted neutral feedback diary entry from Timelord2067 too  Does this post make me get another one? I only have 2, so 3 more to go!I voted Yes! Looks like i'm the only one on a different page.
~ I believe a user who isn't trusted enough to be on DT1 should be trusted with something as important as Merit source position. First: this is about users who requested to be blacklisted from DT1. That doesn't mean the community doesn't trust them, quite the contrary. Second: I'm curious if you can show a few examples of non-DT1 Merit sources who you believe Merit bad posts. any person who requests to be removed from DT1 is saying they don't want to be trusted. No, they don't want to be able to create DT2-members and the drama that comes with self-scratching. |

In certain countries this guarantee serves the same purpose as WC paper, because if a major bank were to fail, governments would not have the funds to pay everyone. Although I suppose that at EU level if that were to happen some maneuver would be to put accounting entries for such amounts with restrictions on withdrawals and transfers. I assume it will be the same as the bailouts: if tax payers can't pay for it, government debt will just go up and printer goes BRRR. That just means the value of your fiat drops more, but you'll get back the same amount. Which does bring up the point of differences in regulations. Here the FDIC does make sure the bank is stable to some degree. Which is why many times they will step in and close a bank that to outsiders DOES look like all is well and they have enough financial backing. But in reality it was all smoke and mirrors. If enough major banks fail then yes it would be a shitshow, but if Chase / BoA / Citi and so on all started to implode at once there is probably something bigger going on. Keep in mind that even in the 2008 meltdown nobody lost insured money. That makes me think the "insured amounts" aren't there to protect citizens, it's meant to protect the banks. Without that guarantee, banks wouldn't be trusted. |

Newbie get proxy ban
They face captcha
They have 360 seconds time limit between making posts
They can not post image
They can not wear avatar
They can not wear signature
They can not do many things. This comes to mind: Limiting newbie participation is very harmful for a community. Newbie jail will never return: I consider the newbie-jail period to have been extremely damaging to the forum. When barriers to participation are too high, then the best people often just won't go to the trouble of joining, and the people who are willing to jump through the hoops are often people who aren't good for the community: people with nothing better to do, scammers, get-rick-quickers, etc. Having a permanent newbie jail policy would improve things a lot in the short-term, but would end up being a fatal poison to the community. |

using a Bitcoin address, and automated system for verifying signatures would be the most logical approach. So like this: "I want to login to Bitcointalk using account LoyceV signing code jT9ZJqD5qExjN4ERNtP9aQ" (where "jT9ZJqD5qExjN4ERNtP9aQ" is generated by the forum)? That would work, but is a lot more work than just opening my browser, typing a "b", and pressing enter. |

I don't think it's necessary to pamper such a minority of "victims". It may sound cruel, but you can't rescue everyone. In that case: think of it as making it less profitable for the thiefs |
|
|

For what it's worth, I think this applies: He should have the police contact me and I'll give them the scammer's IP logs. |

One of the issues being raised there is the lack of 2FA on Bitcointalk: I would argue the issue is the lack of making sure the trade can't go wrong in any possible way by the "most trusted" and "most used" escrows on Bitcointalk. I strongly dislike having to use a different device to log in to any website, especially websites that I often use. There's no need to make using Bitcointalk more work, just because some people (who earn up to hundreds of dollars per transaction) can't guarantee the one thing an escrow should do: protect the innocent from the scammer. Besides, 2FA will only stop a small part of the scams that take place here. Example: this case lost $30k. |
