I've noticed that somebody has found out that my fNFT doesn't taste too good and now tries to sell it.
I think that fNFTs are not for food, but from what I've seen they do look nice in the window.

Bitcoin is a coin and also an investment tool.
Some will use it as a coin i.e. will work for it or will sell something for it then spend it quite fast in order to buy everyday things.
Some will use it as an investment tool in an attempt to get rich(er).
And some will be somewhere in between.

You can "be free" tying together a couple of logs and floating on the ocean. But that may not help you much without a large stash of food and drink, and some tools too.
In a way or another, no matter how free we want to be, we go back to society and it's rules, absurd or not.

In this case, whether we like it or not, anybody offering goods and services have to pay taxes to the government under the form the government chooses to, which is usually their fiat.
So sooner or later Bitcoin interacts with fiat, whether we sell Bitcoin at exchange, whether we pretend to buy for Bitcoin, but the shop actually receives fiat. The cases the shop receives Bitcoin are seldom and need the shops do certain extra handling in the accounting, I guess.

I don't like it. I don't like the idea of losing control on my coins, I don't like the idea to leave a transaction hanging around unconfirmed for too long. I don't know what the future holds and I see it as an unnecessary risk.

Maybe in a year from now we'll have a forum stable coin too. Obviously not backed by anything 
For now you have only the option with the merchants.

Din cate stiu, pe statul roman, cel putin momentan, nu-l intereseaza ce faci cu bitcoinii cat timp stau ca bitcoin. In momentul cand ii transformi in fiat devii pasibil de plata pentru banii incasati.
Deci nu ar trebui sa fie probleme cu cadoul.

I guess that they may be somewhat like PayPal bitcoins. You'll be able to spend those coins at the other merchants within the forum.

Intr-adevar, prea "acoperit" poate deveni suspricios. O masca pe figura si o sapca pot fi deja suficiente (in ideea ca nu se apuca chiar sa scaneze retina..) si sunt in ton cu "moda" actuala, cat tine.
Oricum, nu cred ca au operator care sa se uite live la feed-ul camerei si sa-ti creeze probleme. Deci cel putin o data ar merge si setup-ul lui GazetaBitcoin 


Dragut! Atat ca dupa ce va vedea cineva inregistrarea vor fi si mai suspiciosi decat la varianta cu gluga 

Here is bitcointalk, not facebook 


You don't have to worry about others. One of the main rule of investing is to make your own choices. This way you won't held anybody responsible for them.
Your friend followed that rule, which is fine. He was impatient, he made poor choices, tough luck. Hopefully he will learn from his mistakes and next time he'll do better.
You did your part: you gave him good advises. Not much else you could do. It's his money, his choices.

Bitcoin traders were always impatient. This "pressure" built up in the last 10 days and I expect that it won't take more than 1-2 days to get back to "normal" (may actually be hours). And this "dump for ants" will not even be remembered 

No. Here you went to wrong direction, hence I stopped reading.
Many wealthy people don't care about politics.
Many wealthy people don't do politics directly. Instead they have politicians on their payroll - in many cases from multiple parties - politicians that will protect the interests of these wealthy people.

And for the title, it's simple: wealthy people can afford to lose huge amounts of money, hence they can do much more than us.

Vaaaaai... pai nu spun toate regulile de conduita cu Bitcoin ca este pacat si nenecesar sa arunci un wallet?
Eu cred ca le am pe toate, dar tot degeaba, ca-s atat de multe si de rasfirate, ca ma pierd. Si asta desi la inceput nu foloseam change address (asta tot din capitolul "tanar si...")

Don't forget that PayPal still works with IOUs they call Bitcoin, not with actual Bitcoin: you cannot deposit nor withdraw, nothing happens on the blockchain...
And the same goes for the other coins too.

Each node has its own mempool with its own settings. So we don't know what are the settings of the node you are connected to.
(I would also try out with 1.1 sat/vbyte, but that's me)

If my math is right then we have 2*(51!) ~ 3*10^66 combinations. That's quite a big number.
And for each of those combinations the key has to be converter to address and checked.

Maybe somebody can further (greatly) reduce the numbers, but I don't know how.

No offense, but even myself I get tricked now and then thinking that certain posts were made by LoyceV or suchmoon, until a second look.
Apologies to the rest of the gang and maybe a hint / idea to add a tiny differentiation between members.

Do you also have by chance the wallet file?

Those files' extension was .wallet
They contained the text "org.multibit"

If you have the wallet file and the password, it should be achievable to get access to your coins.




I think that multibit didn't use wallet.dat; Bitcoin core uses wallet.dat

Signature campaign makes a site/topic/whatever more visible. That's clear.
How much success it has, I don't know, I don't have a proper way to quantify it.
You may find, however, somewhat relevant information here (Do you click on signatures?), but the answers may usually cover only the signatures that go to external sites.

Noi am incercat sa iti oferim informatiile pe care le avem si sa-ti dam sfaturi din experienta noastra, mai multa sau mai putina.
Clar sunt banii tai, viata ta si deciziile tale. Credeam ca se subantelege atata lucru.

Indiferent pe cale iti continui aventura, ne-ar fi de ajutor, daca se poate, sa revii cu informatii despre cum au descurs lucrurile - fie bine, fie nu. Eu iti urez sincer multa bafta!

It all depends on how much money you have on the exchanges. If you have 100-200$, it may worth the relatively low risk of them getting hacked (for real or pretended), change rules or go bankrupt.
If you have significantly bigger amounts of money there, it really worth buying at least a 60 EUR hardware wallet and sleep better.

Just imagine your coins gets stolen, you stop investing into Bitcoin and in some years they go up 20x or 100x. And imagine how will you be feeling about that.

You can promote the service as you did, but you may have better chances if you focus onto altcoin services.
And you can use your own signature and avatar space to promote your services / your topic.

And, if you afford it and you think it worth it, you can pay others too to wear your advertising in their signature space and avatar (but I think that for you it's not the case).
