7041  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Risk Of Losing Bitcoins Through Seed Creation on: November 09, 2021, 09:06:59 PM
I always find it amusing just how many threads we see popping up along these lines, of people wondering "What if someone guesses my seed phrase" or "What if someone generates the same private key as me".
I don't mind if someone inquires and even questions the security of the network unless I can feel a malicious tone or agenda. With OP, I am not feeling one. His first sentence might be leaning in that direction, but I still look at it as someone asking how possible is a scenario where a user keeps creating new Electrum seeds and wallets until he finds a collision.

It would have been much worse if he had claimed that Bitcoin/Electrum is unsafe because it's easy to find someone else's seed, and he supported his claims with false data, stats, etc. Here, it still seems like OP is looking for some clarification.

You should move this thread to the Scam Accusations board if you are accusing the platform of scamming you. This is the first time I hear about TOS rules that state that you have to undergo your KYC, otherwise your funds will be confiscated. However, if that is part of their TOS, and it was part of their TOS at the moment you opened your account, they can always fall back on that and say it's well within their rights to follow the rules. Whether or not it's legal, I really don't know.

Those parts you found from UK's Gambling Commission have nothing to with FortuneJack because they are licensed in Curacao if I am not mistaken.
I suggest you contact the admin and OP in their ANN thread > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774929.0 and make them aware of your situation.

You could fall out of an airplane in midflight, be hit by another airplane on your way down, land face first, and still survive. Theoretically, there is a miniscule chance of that happening. Remember that Russian paraglider who crashed, fell, and got a tree branch stuck in his shoulder that probably saved his life?

Sorry for making such a ridiculous comparison, but my point is that the chances for both these scenarios from happening are so small that they are not worth worrying about.     
7044  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: how to back wallet access via file on: November 09, 2021, 05:27:29 PM
btc.com or binance or coinbase, I think so
I think it includes the information to access the full account more than a 12 seed.
Centralized exchanges, such as Binance, Coinbase (unless you are talking about the Coinbase wallet), and others, don't give you any wallet files because you are not in charge or in possession of the coins. They are. Those are custodial services. You just register and create an account, but you don't have access to private keys or seeds, only they do.

If you want to receive proper help, stop playing around. First you said it could be Binance or Coinbase and now you are saying that you think you used Bitcoin Core. Right click on the files you have, click on settings and check the extensions.   
7045  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Classic Multibit 0.5.18 recovery with 16 words passphrase help please on: November 09, 2021, 05:17:57 PM
A very positive ending to a problem that lasted way too long. I am glad it worked out in the end, especially considering the health issues that you have. Since your Nano S was probably shipped with three cards to write down the seed, make one more copy to be ultra-safe. Wink

If it's not a secret, how much did the company charge for their recovery services? I think it could benefit other users who are thinking about doing something similar if they knew how much such work costs.
7046  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger wallet technical issues - Can't send any crypto. on: November 09, 2021, 12:58:56 PM
I can't send any btc, loading flipping on the ledger live dashboard, and cannot end the process.
If it keeps syncing, there might be a problem with one of the apps and accounts you have installed? How many apps and different coins do you hold on that wallet that are visible in Ledger Live?

if you click on the accounts tab in Ledger Live, which of the coins are unsuccessfully synching with the network? Is it Bitcoin or some of the altcoins? Maybe try to uninstall the one in question and try it again after that. Remove them from the portfolio. That won't result in any loss in coins, so don't worry. I have noticed that Tron is very slow to sync with the network in LL, for example.

Do you keep your operating system updated and is it genuine? 
7047  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Wallet Features That Are Missing but Essential on: November 09, 2021, 12:38:41 PM
hmmmmmm I've seen blue wallet have a similar option that doesnt reveal the "correct" recovery phrases on purpouse
What do you mean on purpose? So if I had a Blue wallet, and I wanted to check my seed (for whatever reason), the software would show some random words (aka a fake seed) and not my actual seed? Why would it do that? Could I still bypass it and have the client display my real mnemonic as well by entering another password or removing that feature in the settings?

It actually doesn't sound that bad when you think about. You enable a feature that displays a wrong seed. If someone were to get hold of your wallet file + password, he wouldn't be able to spend from the wallet or display its seed without a secondary spending password. Some exchanges use a trading or withdrawal PIN that is independent of your password.
7048  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: how can i regain access to this wallet via file on: November 09, 2021, 12:21:54 PM
Whatever that is it looks encrypted, does it not? You are going to need the encryption password to regain any info from the files, such as private keys. I assume you don't have that.

How did you get this, and why do you not know what wallet software you used?
Did you purchase it somewhere online maybe?
7049  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? on: November 09, 2021, 12:13:56 PM
Youtube has a really neat platform called "Youtube Analytics"[2] where you are able to see a lot of information regarding your channel. To directly answer your question I would say that Cyrus could use the information straight from the Audience tab:
Quote
  • Returning viewers
  • Unique viewers
  • Subscribers
  • Total members (channel level)
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Top geographies
  • Top subtitle/CC languages
  • Watch time from subscribers
  • Other videos your audience watched (channel level)
  • Other channels your audience watches (channel level)
That's very useful. Thanks for sharing that. I expected that they had something like that but I wasn't really sure. Cyrus could check the stats after the release of the first video to see if there is a certain region where a lot of the views come from. Another option could be that at the end of the video he asks the viewers to vote if they would like to see subtitles in their local languages for future videos and for which languages. A link in the video description could be posted to a site where they can cast their votes, for example.
7050  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: A. Antonopoulos’ Take on Seed Splitting and Bruteforcing on: November 09, 2021, 12:02:04 PM
My suggestion will be to obfuscate the seed, not to look like a seed, when you do split it. I have done this in a way that 4 family members will be able to put my seeds together, if something happens to me.
What if one or several of your family members losses their part of the seed/seeds? Is that when the fail safe that you mentioned at the end of your post will kick in?

They cannot do anything with their portion of the seed and my lawyer has the instructions in my "Will" to explain to them what to do. (Eg... make a sentence with the Seed and give the template to the lawyer to put it all together)
Will the lawyer know how to put the words together and arrange them from 1-12/24 or does he just keep the correct instructions (template)? I didn't understand if the lawyer is the one who is tasked to put the words in the correct order based on the info given to him by the inheritors. If he is, do you absolutely trust him with that information?   
7051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Brazilian Congressman proposes Crypto Payment for workers on: November 08, 2021, 01:36:37 PM
I keep wondering how is the situation of retirement pension deductions, life insurance, how will the person make a loan at the bank?
The coins can always be exchanged for fiat and deposited back into the bank on a monthly basis. In agreement with the bank of course. You can always mortgage your home if you own your own estate. Another option would be to take out a loan in fiat by depositing crypto as your collateral.

You have raised a good point but I think when Bitcoin will be accepted as a legal tender in any country  the Banks of the country will certainly come up by introducing new products in crypto likewise Fixed Deposits, Loans and many many mores to address all above issues raised in your post.
But the bill does not foresee that Bitcoin is accepted as legal tender. It just gives Brazilian citizens an option to be paid a certain percentage of their wages in crypto. That doesn't turn Brazil into El Salvador though.
7052  Other / Meta / Re: Need to clear a confusion on: November 08, 2021, 09:54:21 AM
The question about creating one or two threads has been solved, so no need to discuss that any further.

But you could ask the applicants to post their rates. Their expectations on an hourly basis or per project. It might help your client save some time. I assume there is a budget in place and he can't spend more (or much more) than he intended.
Money is often the deciding factor. Both sides would benefit if they knew what the position pays and what the developer expects to earn. 
7053  Other / Meta / Re: Is "Scam accusation" board utilizing effectively? on: November 08, 2021, 09:24:04 AM
I would vote to get rid of the "I was messaged on telegram by so and so scammer" or "YouTube giveaway scam", posts as they are generic...
I am not a frequent visitor of the scam accusations board but I wouldn't vote for getting rid of anything there. Sure, it might sometimes be repetitive, but since the forum has a "we don't moderate scams" policy, I would support any threads and boards where people are made aware of them. 

Most people on here would be pretty used to such scam techniques...
There are still way to many people who believe that Elon will send them 2 BTC if they send him 1.

...and should ideally follow the reporting format which is stickied on that board.
Few people do unfortunately.
7054  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see? on: November 08, 2021, 08:24:43 AM
What do you think Cyrus (and remaining community of course) of having a voluntary group within bitcointalk that would make subtitles for the videos?
It would certainly help the viewers who aren't proficient in English. I think it's a good idea to keep that as an option for later. Once the first 1 or 2 videos are aired, we will see how many views, comments, and subscribers there are. Based on that, we will get some stats of how the community responds to the work. If the reach is really bad, like 100 or less views within the first couple of weeks (which I am hoping won't be the case), creating subtitles for multiple languages might not make that much sense.   

What kind of stats are available to channel owners on YouTube? Can they, for example, see which countries the viewers come from? As a percentage or total count? If that is possible, Cyrus would have some info about which regions are mostly watching and he could focus on those languages first if your idea is approved. 
7055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 08, 2021, 07:58:18 AM
as the january transfer window are near and eden hazard could be a real boosting if they did really make it happened moreover...
That fat fuck isn't going to bring anything good to the team. He stopped playing football and focusing on his career when he left England and signed the contract of his dreams. Just recently I read that they are looking towards Sergio Ramos who is totally out of form and without any match fitness at PSG. Not to mention the injuries since leaving Real. Hopefully, that's just speculation. Signing the likes of those two is a waste of money that can be better spent elsewhere.

In 30 minutes Inter-Milan, if Inter will win the league will be reopened for them since they will earn points versus Napoli and Milan both.
Just like last season, I see Inter as the better team than Milan. But it will be interesting to see Inter go head to head versus Napoli. I am not sure who will come on top in that duel.

Jel koristiš stranicu?
Imam druge načine na koje gledam serije i filmove pa nisam ovu uslugu nikad koristio osim početnih nekih testiranja.

*prosječna kvaliteta slike i zvuka
I jedno i drugo je OK za ono malo što sam nasumično otvarao i gledao. Nisam ljubitelj serija i filmova preko laptopa. Više volim da se izvalim na kauč i pustim sebi na TVu. Ali ko to ne može u datom trenutku, ovako nešto može poslužiti.

*da li koči ponekad ili stream uvijek radi dobro
Premalo sam koristio da bi mogao odgovoriti, sorry.

*da li ima aplikacija za smart TV
Mislim da nema.

Imam već dosta tih streaming sadržaja koje plaćam ali su barem s tehničke strane više manje perfektni pa mi se ne da zezati s nečime ako nije bar usporedivo. S druge strane poklonjenom konju se ne gleda u zube pa sam siguran da će biti jako korisno mnogim članovima našeg lokala.
Ne može se sigurno uporediti sa vrhunskim platformama koje se plačaju. Ipak, ovo je free usluga.

Cisto iz znatizelje sam isao malo provjeriti i na koji god film da kliknem, dobijem 404 error.
Da, taćno. Sad i ja to vidim. Izgleda da je u toku neko ažuriranje sustava jer se u gornjem desnom uglu pojavi obavijest: "We are updating and upgrading our system."
7057  Economy / Gambling / Re: If your games aren't provably fair, stop claiming they are. on: November 08, 2021, 07:37:46 AM
Only problem here is that not all players have the technical skills or are technical enough to know which casinos are genuine with their claims and which aren't.
I know, that's why threads like this one are important. There are also other resources on the world wide web that will teach you how to check whether a game really is provably fair or it isn't.

I see the provably fair as a motto on almost all crypto casinos.
That's why I said that it's a buzz word in my previous post. Don't trust what the casino says but verify it yourself. Or better yet, stick with proven platforms and don't be lured by the promises and bonuses that new sites will give you to get you to deposit into their accounts.
7058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 07, 2021, 12:05:39 PM
it is indeed looks really impossible to reach , but it's juventus ... things get strange when its involved juventus ,
This time around and with this squad I think it's safe to say that Juventus doesn't have what it takes to end at the top. Qualification for the Champions League is the maximum they can hope for this season.

Very hard game for Juve but even at the last minute (what a great goal that was!) gets the win that so badly needs it.
Cuadrado really was lucky to hit it the way he did from that angle. And if you watch the replays, the ball just slightly bounced off the foot of a Fiorentina defender to go past the goalkeeper. Maybe if it wasn't for that touch, he would have shot straight at the keeper.

Trenutno gledam njemačku seriju Babylon Berlin.
Radnja serije je smještena između dva svjetska rata u Berlinu. Ko voli političke drame, nek pokuša. Serija je na Njemačkom.

Mislim da sam već predlagao da bookmarkujete ovu stranicu https://theflix.to/.
Streaming usluga za serije i filmove koju je neki korisnik sa foruma pokrenuo. Može se naći svega...

Dugo si bio vjeran Betcoinu pa je došlo možda i vrijeme za neku promjenu. Nadajmo se da potraje i da ti se posreći. Sjećam se da Hhampuz nije baš volio kad članovi njegovih kampanja prelaze iz jedne kampanje u drugu ali mislim da se i to vremenom promjenilo. Pogotovo kad je riječ o kampanji koja bolje plaća u odnosu na onu trenutnu.
