Yes? Are you illiterate or something? Maybe you just have dementia as your username seems to suggest or you are trolling the forum with a made-up problem expecting something in return. Anyways, no one can help you since you don't look like you are interested in helping yourself.

According to this announcement by Blockstream, their Blockstream Green wallet will soon support Taproot (if it hasn't already been activated in the meantime). If you want, you can keep an eye on their blog. That post I linked to is currently their newest blog entry. 

Cash App has also announced that they will support Taproot. All their customers should have it activated until December 2021.

Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why the site kept displaying a server error on my end. I thought it has something to do with my IP, VPN or DNS settings.

I found a sure-thing that I wanted to place some money on but it wasn't meant to be this time. Looking at the live result, it is still going in the direction I expected it to, but the outcome is uncertain and it turns out that it's not the easy match I predicted it would be. 

Soft fork and protocol are correct.

These two terms I quoted are correct!

4 out of 6 words have been solved. Let's continue with Newbies, Jr. members, and Members and see if they can solve the remaining ones.

@Cornia, @rosenbauer02 let's not post multiple posts in a row and I would appreciate less editing. It makes my life harder when I have to check with scrappers to determine who wrote what first and when. For this round we also had a forum admin step in and merge a few posts by Cornia.   

I had more work than usual lately so I didn't focus on the word game. But now that you brought it up...



1.   protocol
2.   mnemonic
3.   soft fork
4.   bear market
5.   censorship resistant
6.   overbought  

* Just like in the previous round, I would like only Newbies, Jr. Members, and Members to guess the terms until I update the post to allow other ranks to take part in the game.
* Members of all other ranks can now submit their answers.

Happy Hunting!

I had to laugh when I read that reply of yours. I mean how hard can it be to copy and paste a username correctly in order to request being whitelisted by someone?! What's more common in your experience, users not including a username at all or sending you the wrong one? 

If you don't remember the password for the alt account you used, you can just report the thread and ask the mods to delete it if you think it has served its purpose. I will do it for you if it helps. Additionally, get in touch with Lafu and ask him to remove his negative trust rating since the rightful owner is again in possession of the account.

Nothing related to scams or scam attempts is being "controlled" or moderated here. I don't like that policy, but that's the way it is. If the post or thread you made breaks other forum rules, that will be the reason it gets deleted. But not for scamming. You could literally start a "if you send me 1 Bitcoin I will send you 2 Bitcoin back" type of scam and if admins follow their own rules, they can't delete or trash that. If they do it to one thread , they'll have to do it to all the others as well.

Also, when someone gets tagged, he gets tagged by a member of Bitcointalk for reason X. That member doesn't speak for the forum and it's owners and operators. The tag doesn't show Bitcointalk's opinion about a user.

Bitcointalk is not decentralized. It's an online forum to discuss Bitcoin that has its rules, admins and moderators (a centralized group) that make sure those rules are being respected. If you get banned, you will get banned by a centralized group of individuals. If you appeal your ban, the same centralized group decides if you will be given a second chance.

The Arduino Nano board in this article looks different from the picture you posted in OP. It's surely a different model but maybe you will be able to make it work on your board as well. It explains how to build your own fingerprint scanner or sensor. It's not really a use case directly connected to crypto but you might figure out something to do with it.   

I have bickered with a friend on this topic many times. He is the sort of gambler who puts money on sports he knows nothing about and gets frustrated if the results don't go his way. If his bets are unsuccessful (and they usually are), you can always hear how close he was. He needed only one goal to win, he was so unlucky because his team conceded an equalizer in the last minutes, etc. 

What follows is him not admitting defeat and instead placing more money on similar matches in an attempt to win back what he already gambled away and to profit even more. I think you know how that ends. I have seen very few people who know how to gamble. Those who understand a few leagues of a certain sport and who can spot when the bookies have made mistakes that they can take advantage of.

Private keys and seeds should never find their way to a digital storage under no circumstances. People have asked what if I encrypt it, archive it with a password, keep it in my mail account protected by 2FA, my Google Drive. All those are bad ideas waiting to bite you in the ass in case your hardware breaks or you get hacked.

A seed written on paper safely tucked away somewhere beats any digital copy. Staying under the radar and being shush about what you have is another advice that many bitcoiners don't respect. It's no one's business what you have, so don't brag about it in public or discuss it with people you don't trust.   

I don't invest in new crypto projects. A lot of time has passed since I did that. I do a certain amount of work for bitcoin and see no reason to gamble on new projects promising me the stars. History has shown that it very often ends in empty promises and loss of funds.

I have some money in a few altcoins which are being used by the community but I don't trust that any of them will become the next best thing or that a flippening will happen. They are just there to be swapped for Bitcoin once they reach a certain valuation.

vv181 posted a few email addresses that you can use to contact Wikileaks. Try with that.
They used to have a webchat over clearnet, but apparently that's no longer the case. However, there is still a way to send them a message over TOR at wlupld3ptjvsgwqw.onion.

Make sure that you read this if you decide to contact them via TOR > https://wikileaks.org/talk/.

Goof luck!

Yeah, that's not going to work in this case. Wikileaks expects donations, so anything you send their way, be it $50 or $5000, is an amount they would think you wanted to donate. The only correct way to approach this situation is to get in touch with someone from the movement, explain what happened, sign a message like other users suggested to prove you were the one who made the transaction, and ask to speak with someone who accepts and handles donations. Once the connection has been established, ask if they can refund you the difference and hopefully they will. It might take a while, but I am sure they aren't going to take any money that was wrongly sent to them and requested to be returned with proof of ownership.

It always depends on the combination of apps. If you have one standalone app like Bitcoin with multiple dependent apps, it should work. The storage capacity of the Nano S is 144 KB.

An example:
Standalone BTC app - 64 KB.
Dependent apps - DOGE, BCH, Dash, Digibyte, Zcash, BTC Gold, etc. are all 2 KB each.
That makes a total of 76 KB with 7 apps installed.

But yeah if you are going to use multiple standalone apps like BTC, ETH, TRON, Stellar, etc., you aren't going to be able to install more than 2, maybe 3 if you are lucky.

Ordering a new Nano X might not have been the smartest move in this in this day and age. I hope OP wont get one with battery issues. Either way, @krusepig please keep us posted if the device that gets shipped to you is working as promised.

Even if the device resets itself, you aren't losing your coins. I didn't understand that part of your post. If a transactions is initiated and signed, it will go to the mempool and either be included in a block and moved to the new destination address, or it goes back to the original address it was sent from after getting dropped from the mempool. How would you lose the coins if you can recover the original wallet?

What did you check and how? You can't just send bitcoin from thin air. Where are those 10 BTC supposed to come from? Can you see them anywhere on a block explorer associated with an address whose private key or seed you own?

We still haven't resolved the mystery of what kind of string of characters you have. Care to tell us something more about it?

Who or what is Dorian? Dorian as the person who was believed to be Satoshi, or is this a Google translation of some kind? He was the one who sent you the coins? Even if Satoshi personally sent you bitcoin, he is not the one in possession of the private keys of the address that got funded. That is supposed to be you. You can't get additional info from the sender.

If you recovered your wallet from private keys, it might be an issue with not adding the correct prefix depending on what kind of addresses you want to recover:

• Legacy, starting with 1
• Nested Segwit, starting with 3
• native Segwit, starting with bc1

Once you recovered your Electrum wallet, do the addresses you see in it start with the same character?
What type if addresses were part of your wallet before and what do you see now?

Your Infinitecoins are not worth recovering. If it's the asset that BlackHatCoiner linked to, don't bother if the amount is 10.000. What about your Doge, XRP, and bitcoin? Do you remember how much of those you have? Any chance that you can remember how you got those QR codes in the first place? You must have scanned addresses or private keys in a wallet or exchange somewhere.

You said that your codes are in .png format. Did you take screenshots of them from a website or wallet?
Maybe the layout or design of the site/software can help in finding out where you got them from. You could upload the picture so people can take a look but make sure your cover the code.

If you want to convert those coins to another cryptocurrency, I am sure that you can do that on Bitpanda. There is no need to transfer them to Binance. Bitpanda also offers a VISA debit card that you can use to spend your crypto in places that accept credit/debit cards.

Since you mentioned Binance, do you already have an account there? Is it KYC verified? Binance no longer allows customers who haven't verified their identities to trade until they complete KYC. If you are looking to open a new Binance account, you are going to have to go through KYC as well.

A lot of people have been talking about FTX recently as a good alternative to Binance. I think they only require an email and phone number, but not a complete identity check.
