It could if someone had so many high ranking accounts that were banned. They could just want to mess up the trust system out of malice. They'll need to have earned Merit to influence DT1-voting, the Rank doesn't matter. If you find sockpuppets doing that, just report them to theymos and they'll be blacklisted from voting. That's the same when they are not banned. |

I am not sure if that is an oversight by theymos and the admin team or if it was intentionally done that way. Maybe they can comment here and tell us what is the benefit of banned users have the ability to make such changes. I was always under the impression that getting banned puts your account in a read-only mode where you can browse the forum, read your old PMs, and it stops there. Not sure why trust changes are possible. Changing your Trust list changes how you view the forum. It makes sense that banned users can still edit their Trust list based on who's judgement they value, so I don't think this is something that should be changed. |

Although you can't delete an account on this forum, you can take the following steps to abandon it:
~
2. ask people politely who quoted your posts to delete their posts;
3. ask people politely who maintain archive versions of this forum (LoyceV, TryNinja, ...) to delete everything that mentions you; I usually reject those requests, unless there's a good reason (such as doxing). If you don't want something to be archived on the internet: don't post it. |

You may be surprised; in my experience especially the last few years, I get the best feedback and interest in Bitcoin when I bring up the issues that fiat has (like frozen bank accounts etc.) and ask people if they experienced similar problems with banks. Then I explain them how Bitcoin fixes that and it really sparks much more interest than trying to explain how good of an investment it is. Especially since that's not its original goal anyway. I don't (personally) know anyone who had their bank account frozen. I know the stories, and from those it looks like it's (Amsterdam) coffee shops and prostitutes (those are legal businesses) who have a hard time keeping a bank account. But "normal" people here don't lose access to their account. The only questions I got from my bank were relating to Bitcoin trades. |

because...
3. If there is absolutely no means or clues available to you as a means of guessing who the real wallet owner might be, then I honestly do not think the police will find any clue either, since they are not super humans. The owner may have reported the missing wallet to the police already. That's the official go-to place for missing items. if you are concentrating on the zippy bag point you missed the point. it was the BITNOTE that was more interesting. OP's description doesn't sound like a "bitnote": There is faint remnants of a bitcoin logo on it and the words 'paper wallet' and the name of the website from which it came printed down the right hand side. |

"wallet_1" is the default wallet name of the second wallet that you've created, perhaps that seed phrase is only for the first wallet "default_wallet". This makes sense. Did you generate the seed phrase by yourself? i did not I'm not sure if you misunderstood the question: if you didn't generate the seed phrase, who did? just removed the wallet because i thought it useless... If you don't have the seed phrase, your only other chance to regain access to your Bitcoins is if you can recover the wallet from your computer. You'll need recovery software for that, and the more your use your hard drive, the smaller the chance of finding it back. |

You have 1 red tag(2 from the same user, but still basically 1). With what happened you are lucky to only have his feedback against you. Actually, OP has negative feedback from 2 DT-members. I guess you don't see efialtis' feedback because of your Trust list, but he's on DT nonetheless. |

i just found it interesting when the OP said he found a paperwallet in a zippy bag.. and also it wasnt just a passphrase but a QR code which is more of what i call a 'bitnote'(as demo's in image) rather than a paper wallet (hand wrote key on paper) A (no longer trusted) paper wallet site used to sell CDs, tamper proof stickers and ziplock bags, basically making it a complete package to create and store paper wallets. Ziplock bags are quite common anyway, I use them for my phone and wallet too when cycling through the rain. |

Greece apparently holds the record with the shadow economy making up 21.5% of the economy. You may not be able to buy a car in cash, but I'm pretty sure your mechanic will accept it. What they call shadow-economy is actually free trading between people and this should be perfectly normal, but I guess we are living in crazy world. I think government controllers would like most if we don't own anything (including money) and rent everything digitally. It feels to me as if government wants everyone to have a paid job (paying taxes), even though they could do the same thing without payment. So if I help you, and you help me, we're good. But if I pay you for your help, and you pay me, we're both paying income tax. Formalizing normal actions makes the GDP grow, but we'd both have less money in the end. You do NOT want "tainted" banknotes in your hands... the police will ask where you found them. That's the thing: with cash, I don't worry about this, because I don't have to! The police can ask anything they want, and as long as I didn't break any laws when I received that money, I'm not in any trouble. The whole idea of "taint" in Bitcoin is to make people liable for other people's actions, which doesn't apply to cash fiat money: First of all I was going to explain what we mean by fungibility before bitcoin and ecash. It's an old legal concept in fact, about paper currency. It's the idea that a one ten dollar note is the same as any other ten dollar note. If you receive a note that was involved in a theft, 10 transactions ago, and the police investigate the theft, they have no right to remove the ten dollar note from your pocket. It's not your fault that it was involved in a previous crime. And so bank notes actually have serial numbers, so it would be possible for a stolen note to be traced back to you.
This first arose, there was a 17th century court case where a wealthy merchant sent a couple of high-value bank notes to a colleague in the post and they never arrived. Before he sent them, he was quite paranoid that they would get stolen. He wrote down the serial numbers and made a mark on them. Sure enough they didn't arrive, so he put in a complaint with the bank, and evenutally the notes turned up at the bank. He tried to get the bank to return the notes to his ownership. The courts sided with the bank. Their reason was that if notes could be returned to their original owner after a theft, it would damage confidence in currency and it would be bad for business, the currency would become unusable because every time you received the paper note you would have to look in the newspaper whether it was reported stolen, or you would have the risk of it being taken, or you would have to rush to the bank to deposit it so that it was the bank's problem. (click for the full quote) The bolded part is the interesting part: the idea of taint damages confidence in Bitcoin. With fiat, there are quite powerful institutions protecting that confidence. With Bitcoin, the same powerful institutions would like to see Bitcoin fail. And if taint can contribute to damaging people's confidence, then that's what they'll try to convince you of. |

Don't know if this dude is Humbertin or not He's not really trying to hide it: Contact me telegram @HumberRoll I've "known" Humbertin in my early days at Bitcoin, and he was an amazing character. Total gambling addict, I've seen him win 20 Bitcoin and lose it later again, and rain substantial amounts just to get attention. He cries just as hard when he loses cents as when he loses small fortunes. Also: I totally don't trust him. |

In the moment when fillppone received that incorrect feedback, he was on DT and, as a consequence, his feedback reflected on fillippone's Trust score. That can't be: nullius is at DT1 (-12), and has been excluded for a long time. He was on your Trust list, which explains why you saw the negative feedback. |

It has received a total of 0.00670692 BTC ($154.98) and has sent a total of 0.00111431 BTC ($25.75). Are you the one who sent this 1.11431 mBTC ( last year)? I'm using the units Electrum uses.Id did receive the seed an saved them Did you receive the seed from someone else, or did you create it in Electrum by yourself? |

Great news! Big media is talking about us: Beincrypto and Bitcoinist released an article describing the features of our service. Those aren't big media, they're spammy (I say spammy because I only know them from many users spamming their link on Bitcointalk) websites that publish advertise anything they earn from. Did you pay Bitcoinist $750 to publish your press release? They don't verify any of the claims, even though the article makes it look as if they wrote it. I didn't even check the other site, this is shady enough. 5. We have over 100,000 transactions Interesting how you got 100,000 transactions without a real testimonial  to get a license Which country provides licenses for KYC-free money transmitting? |

For example, I could own a car dealership and choose to only accept cash or Bitcoin payments, because I don't want to do business with bank Wait, you guys still have that freedom? Here, cash payments for cars above €10k have to be reported, and car sellers with many cash payments are already "suspicious" according to their bank. Google tells me in Belgium it's not allowed to pay €3000 or more in cash for a car (or anything else). Many EU countries have similar laws already, and the maximum amounts are only getting lower. You're basically forced to use banks. Of course governments aren't going to allow people to switch to crypto instead of cash, they need to protect their interests. And as long as most people don't care about privacy and banks offer convenient services to itemize your payments, we all just let this happen. I am considering adding a second section for services who ask more questions than usual when your funds come from mixers, casinos, and generally discriminate coins by their supposed origin (e.g. other exchange's known address, gambling site's known payout address, ...).
This would be a broader set of 'unreliable, due to general UTXO discriminating, services' as opposed to this list of 'unreliable, due to taint proclaiming, services'. Does that mean one is worse than the other? As in: one is less bad and thus should be more acceptable? I don't think that's a good idea. What I find more weird is that a bank never asked me any kind of proof of where my money comes from.
At the most, I just write my annual income, without giving any proof (at least in all banks and brokers that I ever used) Here, your salary usually arrives from another bank, making it obvious where it came from. Do you mean you get your money in cash and then deposit it to your bank, which they happily accept? I can confirm that in Greece you can't buy almost anything with cash (except maybe ice cream, popcorns, donuts, etc...) Greece apparently holds the record with the shadow economy making up 21.5% of the economy. You may not be able to buy a car in cash, but I'm pretty sure your mechanic will accept it. |

I'm late, but at least I have a different excuse this time: MehMeh and I were enjoying the slightly less hot evening, but she fell and had some blood. That lead to loud crying, which I had to take care of. She's okay again, and almost ready for bed. Awww, I am sowwy for MehMeh... I really am. I hope she is fine now... (quotes edited to add proper style to MehMeh's name now that I'm back on my PC) She was okay again. Then dropped a big mug on her toes, which were bleeding again. The perks of vacation  |

I scanned the initially concealed QR code on my phone, entered the also concealed code and was presented with a web page with info pertaining to a btc balance Did you scan the private key's QR-code? If so, the wallet could already be compromised. ....like I said, too many laws, too much restriction of freedom, too much government involvement. Somehow when someone loses something and another person finds it, the government has laws in place that mandate their meddling (for lack of a better word). Although I agree we have far too many laws and government is far too big, I don't think the law on finding items is that bad. If "finders keepers" would be allowed, any thief could just claim they found the item. Hell, I just found a Ferrari Lambo! It was totally unattended! I just meant that it is easy to compromise a paper wallet if compared to a hardware wallet. You should read up on BIP38 encryption  Even a simple password makes it very hard to take the funds. OP said "0.6104...ish". There are no addresses which contain exactly 0.6104 bitcoin. There are 85 addresses which contain between 0.61040000 and 0.61049999 bitcoin. I made a slightly broader selection of all legacy addresses around this range: 14eLjod6F2ah2KKvxUV9zRnwgkTFPBC33a 61050000

Perfect, great, fantastic, thank you!
That's exactly what I was thinking about. Is it? It doesn't have the block hashes you asked for, only txids and block numbers. I owe you beer & frites. No worries, I've had my fair share today already |

Ledger live implemented coin control, which is an amazing feature btw. It took them long enough They added a button to minimize future fees What if a clueless user clicks "minimize future fees" when fees are high? They'll pay much more in fees than necessary, and in the future fees could very well be lower again. If the only logic they apply is "spends the maximum number of inputs", you'll end up with only one input (and less privacy). I'd say their "optional" unticking of inputs is crucial when your wallet selects all inputs at once: 7. (optional) Untick the checkboxes of the coins you don't want to include in the selection. |

Would it be possible to prepare a single file with:
- all block hashes
- all transaction IDs
Or maybe you have such a script I may execute on full node. What format are you looking for? Just a long list of hashes, or do you need to know which txid belong to which block? I think the easiest way is to get the data from /transactions/ (55 GB) and /blocks/. I can save you a 55 GB download if you get me the format you want. To test, this is running now in /transactions/: for file in `ls`; do echo "Now processing $file"; gunzip -c $file | grep -v 'block_id' | cut -f1-2 >> ../PawGo.tsv; done; gzip ../PawGo.tsv See: blockdata.loyce.club/PawGo.tsv or blockdata.loyce.club/PawGo.tsv.gz. It's 27 GB now, hashes don't compress very well. It's scheduled to be deleted in 7 days. Otherwise I would have to download packs like from http://blockdata.loyce.club/ , decompress and parse tsv (which seems to be the simplest solution  That's what I would do Do you plan to backup /blocks/ folder from blockchair? No need: these files are tiny, so downloading them from Blockchair directly shouldn't take too long anyway. |
