It may be a better idea to not even make/type the password yourself and use instead the password a password manager generates for you.
It will be more random and you'll get it into clipboard until you log in and save it into the password manager for good.
(Of course, after login you have to remember to clear the clipboard).
At least this is what I do for some years now.

I refresh the price widget. Why website?

What it's doing ... it's getting in sync with the blockchain. This means it's downloading the blockchain. I hope that you do have ~350GB of free space on the disk.

When I start Bitcoind without parameters it also opens for me a console showing the current operations. If I press CTRL-C it ends gracefully.

That's correct.


I'd advise you make sure you download(ed) Electrum from electrum.org and verify the download: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/
This is necessary to avoid malicious software steal your money.

I'd also advise you play around with Electrum (maybe on testnet, with free coins from Bitcoin Testnet Faucets - google it) to make sure you won't encounter surprises when you want to use it with real money.
You start Electrum on testnet with:

If you sweep private keys that means one extra transaction you may not need to do.
Since Chipmixer gives you private keys, you can import those into Electrum instead of sweeping, thus merging step 4 and 5 into one step.



Sweeping is transaction, hence tx fee.
Importing means you'll have a "new" wallet based on those private keys. That's for free. Obviously, when you'll spend the coins, that will be again transaction with tx fee.

It's interesting choice of coin. It's good that's not USDT, it's somewhat surprising it's not GUSD. It's even more interesting that they didn't wait for the official digital dollar.
Of course, this is just one step forward and it doesn't say whether Bitcoin is going to be next or not. Still, it's good great news for all crypto.

Ai fi surprins cata lume face asta. Am facut-o si eu cand am fost mai tanar si mai prost, deci stiu.
Pur si simplu nu te gandesti la implicatii. Cat timp vrei sa incasezi niste bani si declari totul, "de ce sa nu fie OK"? (Da, stiu...) Ca doar nu-s bani furati. Vezi? stiu toate textele  
Na, pe vremea aia nu erau atatea informatii pe acest subiect. Dar tot prost am fost.

E vorba de comoditate, pana la urma. Adica, omul se gandeste, "unde altundeva sa intre banii daca nu la banca?".
Tot gresit e, dar na, lumea trebuie sa greseasca de mana lor ca sa stie.



Parerea mea este ca daca vrei sa lucrezi direct cu asemenea suma, doresti neaparat ca cineva sa iti faca probleme. Adica ti-o ceri...  
Adica, munciti sau nu, daca banii astia intra direct in banca, nu se va ridica o spranceana ci se va bloca contul pentru investigatii ("shoot first, ask questions later"). Cel putin eu asa cred.

As mai adauga ca seed-ul ar fi bine sa stea in cel putin 2 locuri diferite si ca este destul de usor sa il ascunzi "la vedere", fiind cuvinte uzuale din limba engleza.
In plus, e bine de stiut ca monezile nu stau "in wallet", ci "pe retea/blockchain", deci oricine are seed-ul sau o copie a wallet-ului va putea sa cheltuiasca acei bani.

Atentie, la orice tranzactie peer-to-peer: cat timp banii care ti-s trimisi nu au cel putin o confirmare, nu poti considera ca ii ai/iti apartin.

Ca platforma si eu tot Binance recomand. Ca idee, astfel de platforme in general nu vand/cumpara, ci doar potrivesc/leaga comenzile de cumparare cu cele de vanzare, facute de diferiti utilizatori, si doar incaseaza comisioane.
Exista multe alte platforme OK (Coinbase, Bitstamp), dar acolo trebuie neaparat sa iti dai datele, iar mai tarziu s-ar putea sa iti para rau.
Si trebuie sa tii cont ca daca vrei sa faci transfer bancar in loc sa cumperi cu cash la ATM, deja ti-ai dat datele si gata. E un subiect delicat si care necesita multa atentie.


Este multa informatie de asimilat. Iti recomand sa intrebi punctual ce mai doresti sa afli.

If you rely on signals from others it means that you still have plenty to learn.
Trading is about good decisions and risk management. Luck/mojo is involved, but you simply can't expect that last forever.
And you should know how risky leveraged trading is. Sorry for your loss, but you should have lowered your expectations and probably also risked less.

Take it as a lesson. Be more careful. After a couple good trades you'll be back in the game, but don't get too confident/greedy, because then this "history" will repeat itself sooner or later.

You didn't post a clear scam accusation.
You didn't post any info about the campaign or the campaign manager.
You are only shilling a telegram group.

From my point of view you don't care at all about the (real) problems in bounty campaigns - mostly in altcoin/token areas.
From my point of view all you care is to get a successful telegram group which you'll probably try to monetize sometime later.

You've posted 1 scam accusation for somebody impersonating you. Nothing else.
This forum has its few tools - negative feedback and flag. If accusations are done properly, these actions can be done against scammers. If you go outside of the forum, you're on your own (with your telegram group I don't expect anybody care about).

We are saying for many years already that people should triple-check the bounty campaign before entering. Nobody cares until they get scammed. So.. yeah... good luck...

I find it the ground for shameless shilling for crypto projects, no matter how bad they are (including DeFi), and I see you are yet another one shilling with huge number of accounts.

I've participated in the past to a few bounty campaigns on twitter and I can tell that your best call may be to watch the bounty offers on altcoin section, but also be aware that there's a risk there that you may get paid with tokens you'll never be able to sell.
For me, with one account, it was not much of a business, but for you it may turn out as one.

Sorry, I see no reason for sending the phone away for repair.
* no offense, but OP is unknown and he can easily just keep the phone for himself, sending back something else or nothing at all
* if sent abroad one may get to pay import tax
* OP will know your address and the fact you own Bitcoin - for some this too may be a problem

Revolut doesn't work with actual Bitcoin. Revolut's crypto cannot be deposited nor withdrawn.
Revolut can be of limited use to withdraw fiat from an exchange to the card, but from what I know there aren't many exchanges they accept, the user (KYC) at the exchange and the one from the Revolut account has to match and still Revolut may lock the account for various odd reasons.

All in all, a proper crypto card should be a better solution for you. Keep in mind though that this means KYC.
And yep, Binance card can be a pretty solid option.

LOL! Then I think that https://web.archive.org/web/20100805002250/http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/ would be even more appropriate.
It tells it has almost 500BTC to give out, the captcha looks legit, what could go wrong? 



Yep, this describes it pretty well.

Indeed, the tyre strategy won the race, but it was luck too.
Their strategy had quite a role for Bottas in it and with the problems at his most important tyre change, the whole strategy had to be changed.
I think that RBR counter-strategy was a bit weak: didn't properly account the cars one lap behind.

Thank you, you are kind.
I am happy to finally pass the mark of 1000 earned merit. It was.. a bit longer than I expected, but all I needed was more patience (and more good posts).

What a race!

* AM and Alpine are quite a disappointment.
* Ferrari looks better than last year.
* McLaren looks very good and strong.
* Mercedes still goes stronger than some news said.
* AlphaTauri has strong engine, but it's either unreliable, either the drivers were unlucky this time

I hoped to see Max win, but he was close enough and it was a great show. Better luck next time.

I know. And I usually don't think that way. But sometimes I do remember and... well...



Most economists cannot comprehend finite supply currencies. And they keep showing everybody how embarrassingly limited they are.

I can't tell yet if AM is weak or it was only bad luck.
Ferrari went better than I'd expect, but I want to see if they can go well for entire race(s).
I didn't also expect so small difference between RBR and Merc cars.
Gasly was a nice surprise.

Can't wait until the race. It has all the premises for an interesting one.

First of all, keep in mind that the wallet only handles yous coins, the coins will never be "in" your wallet.
This means that anybody who has a copy of your wallet, or a copy of your wallet's seed, or a copy of the private keys of your coins, will be able to spend them.
This may sound scary, but it simply means that you have to be careful with the wallet/seed/backups (yes, please save the seed onto paper and keep it safe).

I use Electrum on my laptop. But if you want to do so, please make sure you download it from https://electrum.org and verify it ( https://bitcoinelectrum.com/how-to-verify-your-electrum-download/ )
If you want to use Electrum on mobile, also go to https://electrum.org and the download page will contain link to google play. You need this kind of precautions because the internet is full of COPIES that may look like the correct wallet, but will just steal your wallet's details and your coins.

If you buy 50$ worth of Bitcoin, then you should know that bitcoin transfers cost money (pretty much lately) and also the exchanges ask pretty big withdrawal fees. So if you buy from an exchange and not your friend, you may want to check the fees and consider keeping the money there until you have more and it worth withdrawing. Also keep in mind that you will need KYC/documents on most exchanges.

If you plan to buy (in time) more bitcoin, you may consider buying a hardware wallet.
