7041  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why people should be using SegWit addresses on: August 22, 2021, 09:35:11 AM
I don't understand why exchanges are so slow in fully adopting native segwit addresses, for example if I am not mistaken, only Binance, Bitstamp, Kucoin, Kraken and maybe few more exchanges are offering customers to have account with bech32 bc1 receiving address.
I would also add that upcoming Taproot fork will add new form of P2TR addresses with updated form Bech32m that will add more privacy especially when using multisig.

If you have used Bitcoins on some centralized services and now want to send them to your own bech32 SegWit address, it’s possible, that the centralized service won’t recognize your bech32 address and will reject it as invalid. This is because some websites are slow in performing updates and such sites don’t accept this new bech32 address format. However, this only applies to bech32 addresses, but not nested SegWit, which is compatible everywhere and more services will fully support bech32 sooner or later.
You can follow adoption of different address formats including bech32 for wallets, exchanges, explorers and other services in this wiki page:

Ako niste čitali najnovije od indexovaca je da pišu samo o kriminalcima, pranju novca i pljačkama vezanim za Bitcoin i kriptovalute, prvo za onog Poly network hakera i 500.000 dolara, onda kako kriminalci u Italiji i Njemačkoj sve više koriste kriptovalute, i na kraju malo sportskog kriminala sa Brazilcem Andersonom koji je koristio Bitcoin za pranje novca.
Političari, paraziti u vladi i novinari su nevini i oni nikad nisu prali i krali novac   Cool

There's also at least 1 open spot!
Nije tri ali otvorena je prijava za jednog novog člana u Chipmixer kampanji i vidim da su SyGambler i naš marlborozzza crveni zbog neaktivnosti pa može biti da se otvore još par slotova uskoro.
Šaljite prijave i sretno svima.

Ja sam valjda dobio sve skupa 5 merita u zadnjih par mjeseci iako pišem kao i inače tako da nemam nikakve šanse al naravno da ću se svejedno prijavit.
Chipmixer menadžer ne traži dobijanje merita za ovu kampanju, više traži aktivnost u nekim sekcijama foruma.

I made the numbers bigger and font size of the date is now smaller.
It should be much bigger than this and there is still a lot of empty space on home page, but that is just my opinion, so you can ask other people for feedback.
Maybe something like this I posted below or play around more with colors and size.

7045  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Having a wallet on both Windows and Android on: August 21, 2021, 01:30:10 PM
I wanted to ask, because I have also got a smartphone now with Android, which I know is better with security issues.
You should have strong and different passwords for your phone, computer and for Electrum wallet, in case you lost access for any of them it may slow down other people from stealing your data.

If I were to also download an Electrum wallet set-up on my phone, could I access the same wallet without any problems? So it would be like internet banking, say, when you can view the same account through the web or on the app?
Coins are actually stored on blockchain, not on your phone or computer, so you can use both wallets with same keys, but I would not suggest that you keep any significant amount of coins on hot wallets like this.

Fees are now low for Bitcoin so you can easily split your coins in multiple wallets for your safety, and use cold wallets for larger amount of coins that are just for holding.

7046  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happened with SilkRoad Bitcoins? on: August 21, 2021, 01:12:37 PM
Victoria Police from Australia recently seized record amount of $6 million (A$8.5 million) worth Bitcoins related with online drug trafficking investigation,
and they arrested 31-year-old woman Kinglake and a 30-year-old man Preston, that could face up to 10 years in jail.
Police also seized various drugs cannabis, magic mushrooms, MDMA, and they found connection with now defunct Silk Road website, and it is known that Peter Nash,
an Australian man who was Silk Road moderator was arrested and sentenced back in 2015.
It is not yet clear how they find connection with Silk Road but they worked with FBI and they probably traced some transactions or found evidence in seized hard drives.

Oh damn, speaking of Roger Ver, didn't he just sort of suddenly disappear from the public(Twitter, specifically)? It seems like he finally gave up, thankfully so. Now someone just needs to convince Faketoshi to do the same; knowing that him and BSV's reputation is far far worse than Roger Ver and BCH.
Oh he is still alive and active,I see him posting various Bcash related stuff on reddit almost on daily basis, his youtube account is still active but I am not following what he is doing on twitter.
I still respect him for his early work related with Bitcoin and it looks like he relaxed with all his anti-btc talk, unlike malicious Faketoshi who is going full power and suing everyone he can.

I made a new collection of information and added the information of who made the application for registration of the trademark.
Someone makes a small twist in logo, font or naming and you have brand new trademark ready to be registered.
Anyone tried to register Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Satoshis Vision trademark yet, maybe for failed projects museum?  Cheesy

7048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is more Marxist Incline on: August 21, 2021, 11:58:13 AM
Communism in theory has everyone equal no matter what job you have and everything is distributed equally. You're mad not because of theory but because of application, to be honest I don't think that bitcoin falls in any of those ideology, I think it's just freedom for bitcoin.
But some people are more equal then others... just look wealth status of all leaders produced by this communist ideology, all of them are filthy rich.
Bitcoin also made some people reach but there was no forced wealth distribution, forced reeducation and camps involved in this process.

I'd suggest equal distribution of wealth probably isn't considered a fundamental tenet of Bitcoin for most people here.
And this is something impossible to achieve because there would always be someone who received share of that wealth (let's say Bitcoin) earlier than someone else, and he will have advantage over people who received their share after him.
Not to mention ruling class of that system who are always getting richer in this utopia like wealth distribution, then they introduce inflation and hyperinflation as next step that will make rest of the people more poor.

I don't know what sources you are using to fetch Bitcoin prices but you should mention them somewhere (I couldn't find any info about that), and using multiple sources mid value would be the best option.

There is a lot of blank white space on your website so I would definitely make those numbers for BTC and fiat currencies bigger, and date font size should be smaller.

I like date and calendar feature but oldest date I can find for historic Bitcoin prices is September 2013, so adding prices before that would be great.

7051  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I developed a free job listing website for crypto related jobs on: August 21, 2021, 09:37:53 AM
It's completely blank and the project is just waiting for your jobs/applies!
Maybe you can cooperate with other similar crypto platforms and freelance websites, but you would also need to create some advertising campaign to spread the word about your website.
I would also create jobcoiner twitter and reddit account and have some referral campaign for inviting new people to create job offers.

You're also right when you say there are lots of other websites of this type. But AFAIK, they are all commercial products. Jobcoiner has at least one advantage : it's free. No intermediate. A bit like bitcoin, no? haha
You need to have some advantage over other competing websites and that is not just being free, maybe better give them some incentive to sign up and use your website.

Also, just as a friendly hint of what to expect - CoinMarketCap launched a job board i think in ~2019 and that didn't go far. Coingecko considered doing that too (they talked to me and they are good friends btw!). Now pomp launched something… and a few other people. As long as people are not just copy-pasting the same thing and actually there to bring more people into crypto - that sort of initiatives are healthy and good!
Coinmarketcap = Binance and I don't trust anything I see on their website, Coingecko is much better and people use those websites daily so it's a good idea to add job list, but you can also add coin prices like they have.
I am not sure what Pomp is doing but I see that you are charging $199 by default for posting job offer (that can be changed manually), but is it possible to create job offer for free or for $1?

To je ujedno i upozorenje svima koji imaju coine na korejskim mjenjacnicama da bi im uskoro mogli ukinuti racune, te je sigurnije maknuti sredstva sa njih.
Ne koristim i nisam nikad koristio nijednu od tih Koreanskih, a za tu tvoju Gopax nisam ni čuo do sad, znao sam za Bithumb, Upbit i Coinone.
Huobi je isto bio registriran u Koreji ali mislim da su se preregistrirali na Sejšele, a na Coingecko se može naći kompletan popis svih iz Južne Koreje:

7053  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: How To Verify the Downloaded Version of Ledger Live on: August 20, 2021, 10:32:47 AM
Even better and safer option is not downloading and using ledger live app at all  Cheesy

A utility that displays file hashes, such as Hashtab.
You seem to love closed source software very much, so I have to trust them until they release Hashtab as open source (soon...like they say) that defeats the purpose of verifying anything and I think they don't have Linux version.
Maybe software like OpenHashTab or HashCheck would be better open source alternative to use.

Sadly, my "go to" which is the "CRC SHA" context menu that 7-Zip installs only supports SHA256 Undecided  Is great for Bitcoin Core as it is still using SHA256's for it's release hashes, but it seems Ledger have gone to the extreme with SHA512.
I think that Peazip free archiver also have this option for SHA512 built in, and it is great open source alternative for 7-zip.


7054  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: PiTrezor DIY Hardware Wallet (with a twist) on: August 20, 2021, 09:44:02 AM
I have a question about this DIY Trezor One.. I have a Pi, I've tried it myself but I'm a bit reluctant to use it as a HW replacement. Is 8t as safe as a Trezor One provided I followed all steps carefully or are there more risks/flaws with this DIY version than there are
with a Trezor?
I would not use PiTrezor for holding all your coins but more as spending wallet for smaller amount of coins.
Code is open source so you can investigate it yourself, it is almost identical to Trezor One code with few alterations like language change, and it exist for years that means it has been reviewed by more people.
Only difference is that you can remove SDcard but you can also add epoxy glue yourself and make it more like Coldcard and even better than original Trezor, or you can just remove and hide your SDcard.
With multiple passphrases added to your wallet it would be hard for anyone to get your coins even if he gets access to your SDcard and seed words.

How do you know that all hardware wallet manufacturers are already not cooperating with government agencies and that information about who purchased what devices hasn't been shared or sold for years? Doesn't matter if they are open or closed-source, your purchases can still be leaked.
I am 100% sure that Ledger leaked ALL customer information multiple times, so why should I trust them about anything they say when they are amateurs.
There are things you can do when purchasing hardware wallets, PO boxes, alternative address and name, so that nobody would know if you purchased a wallet, but having hidden backdoors are much worse than this and you never know with closed source.

Probably a combination of increased bounty activity (we're still in a bull market, sort of), lax moderation, and reporting fatigue.

7056  Other / Archival / Re: Binance introduces KYC for all users on: August 20, 2021, 08:49:33 AM
Oh what kind a circus this is, I think that 0.06 BTC daily withdrawal limit on Binance lasted only one week after they reduced it from 2 BTC.
However, I checked my old account that I don't use anymore and I still don't have any of those new limitations, and it is still showing me old withdrawal limit, maybe it needs time to be applied to all users.
There is currently class action lawsuit against Binance so that could be one of the reasons they are doing this.
7057  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: PiTrezor DIY Hardware Wallet (with a twist) on: August 19, 2021, 04:29:49 PM
What are you basing this on regarding Ledger being totally closed-source? Has it something to do with the reproducibility? The code handling the secure element is closed-source. The Ledger Live app, and the rest of the wallet is open-source if I am not mistaken.
Dude I don't care about crappy ledger live app, all their hardware wallet FIRMWARE is 100% closed source and you can confirm that on github doing some basic search.
It has nothing to do with reproducible code, it's just closed source junk like Safepal, Coolwallet, D'CENT and others, so there is nothing to reproduce.
Other hardware wallets are open source, and they have closed source secure elements (ColdCard, BitBox, Passport, Keystone...) so it is possible to make it like that if you want.
7058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who is trying to register Bitcoin trademark? on: August 19, 2021, 02:19:04 PM
Somebody managed to register Bitcoin as a trademark, alongside registering its logo, in Spain, just over a year ago.
Interesting, and I didn't know about that info.
His name is Eduardo Pérez Montero and he registered it as national mark B bitcoin.
I also remember fake martial artist and bad actor Steven Seagal running a ICO scam that was registered as Bitcoiin with two letter i  Cheesy

I wonder if Roger Ver tried to registered something for Bitcoin, because he is one of the owners of bitcoin.com domain and exchange, but that is not the same as registering Bitcoin trademark, as we know that he tried to takeover the Bitcoin brand.
There is however a difference between a trademark and a brand.
7059  Economy / Exchanges / Re: which exchange give you signup bonus? on: August 19, 2021, 01:03:01 PM
I think that Gemini exchange was giving $10 in Bitcoin when you first sign up, but I don't know if that is still available, and similar thing was for Okex exchange.
Bybit and Phemex derivatives exchange was also offering even bigger sign-up bonus but only with referral codes.
It's important to know that you would need to pass kyc verification for this centralized exchanges, and I always suggest skipping that and going decentralized way of Bisq or P2P trading.
Do your own research before signing up to any crypto exchange.



7060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is more Marxist Incline on: August 19, 2021, 12:39:22 PM
Bitcoin didn't kill and torture anyone or put people in concentration camps for reeducation like twisted marxist ideology was doing, so there is nothing that relates this two.
If you didn't want to be marxist or you didn't agree with them you got killed or sent in gulag or chinese camps, and nobody is forcing you to use Bitcoin.
Marxist and all similar ideologies like fascism or globalism want to have full control over every aspect of human lives including money and economy, while fake ''elites'' become richer, regular people are getting more poor and slave-like.
Bitcoin is decentralized, can not be controlled, and there is no single center, ceo or person that want's control everything, so your theory is simply wrong.
