and yes
"It's a public forum where anyone can discuss anything they want. It's my choice if I want to be part of that discussion or not."
and that does include when people set a topic as self-mod to try to control the narrative. which i find more revealing about the topic writer when they do such I self-moderated the thread to be able to delete spam on my own without having to wait for the mods to do it. It's not self-moderated to control the narrative or attempt to steer the conversation in one particular way. It doesn't matter to me one bit if the community believes satoshi was NSA or not. I am not suppressing one side in favor of the other. Have I suppressed your opinions? Have I deleted your posts despite your criticisms of my thread and me as a poster and person? I believe I haven't. I deleted two posts from a user who suggested that Satoshi was an alien or an ancient deity. To me, that is spam and off-topic, which doesn't belong here. There was also that one post that I deleted by mistake when I wanted to quote it, but I explained that in the thread. You can always see the stats under the subject of any self-moderated thread, plus there are sources like Ninjastic.space. " 3 posts by 2+ users deleted." |

The newest reports are now suggesting that the Biden administration is cancelling the data collection survey that the government and the EIA planned on US bitcoin miners. They will also destroy all data they have collected so far (if you believe them). That's not the end of the story, though. The collection process may still happen, but first there will be a public notice and comments. The Texas Blockchain Council initiated a lawsuit against the data collection, which was one of the reasons the government stopped it.

open source debunks the classified notion, by the very essence of open source.. and debunks the back-door notion of the early versions of bitcoin Just because something is open-source, it doesn't mean the code is clean and written with good intentions. Open-source code can be vulnerable and backdoored, with the developers hoping o one will ever notice it. One does not exclude the other. anyways
when this topic was made by a user that has had years to look at all the communication records.. but then doesnt use that information.. to then pretend theres an opening for speculation... and then the annoying part is when cultish idiots then want to subtly hint/introduce a notion that other people invented bitcoin.. its almost like the stupidity of CSW drama You are so full of negativity, like all the time. It's a public forum where anyone can discuss anything they want. It's your choice if you want to be part of that discussion or not. I just have a question, what did the US government do to find Satoshi Nakamoto? Did they contact people who were in touch with Satoshi? Did they contact to Theymos, Sirius or Cobra? Satoshi is a very mysterious for me. I have a feeling like government isn't interested in him, probably? Who knows what efforts were made, if any. And why would you believe someone who told you, yes, I was contacted by (insert three letter agency) or no, they never contacted me? But I am very surprised that governments didn't try to find him earlier because it's impossible to not see the threat of Bitcoin for governments...[/quote] Satoshi disappeared quite early. Bitcoin was still a geek invention that computer geeks and cypherpunk used. No one could predict how big of a popularity it would gain. |

I have two questions that can also be suggestions to eXch.
1. What happens if there is only a partial amount in the reserve of the coin/token I want to buy? For instance, I want to swap $2,000 worth of BTC for ETH, but when it's time for the swap, there is only $1,000 of ETH left. Will the exchange swap the $1k and return half of my BTC or will everything be returned to me? You could add an option where the user could opt in to receive less than what they intended to swap if there isn't enough in the reserves. Then, if I am fine with getting a lower amount, I could get it.
2. Could you create a waiting list for swaps that users could opt in for if they wanted? For example, there is no XMR left, but I opt in to be placed on a waiting list for x amount of hours. I deposit the coin I wish to swap for XMR and then I wait to see if the reserves will fill up? When they do, I get my XMR 2/6/12/x hours later if my turn comes.

They wanted qwerty keyboard to be accessible at the wallet's routine but I think, they could make it to be attachable to the wallet with the small form factor and kill two birds with one stone. Besides , used could attach to such device his own portable keyboard. What do you think about this? That would put in jeopardy the airgapped nature of the hardware wallet. A keyboard like that could, in theory, have malware. It could log your keystrokes, save them internally, and wait for an opportunity to broadcast that data if it ever gets connected to an online device. Nowadays, it could even be equipped with its own network and either upload or download data from a connected device. Being too worried about these things isn't healthy, but neither is not caring at all. |

... you are too careless since you downloaded an app based on the recommendation of a random guy on the internet (someone who gives such kind of advices to others must have a minimum level of knowledge to know that you can't import an Electrum seed into trustwallet). It turns out, that was beneficial for the OP because Trust Wallet won't be able to load and store his seed in its software. But even importing it into the closed-source app and getting error messages when trying to recover the funds shouldn't be done because no one knows what's going to happen with those seed words once an attempt was made to enter them into the Trust Wallet. |

This is one of the worst crap stable coin blockchains, and fees are often higher than on all other alternatives, unless you stake trx shitcoin. They are all crap stablecoin blockchains, but if you need to engage with them, then you are stuck using those that are the most popular among them. I have never used or heard anyone use USDT on Polygon or the BSC network. It's mostly the asset on Tron followed by the token on Ethereum. And the fees are cheaper on Tron. Even the source you linked to shows it. I never had any staked TRX, and the fees I needed to pay for USDT transactions were either 13 or 26 TRX. At the time I last used it, it was between $0.70 and $1.40/1.50. It surely costs more now with all cryptos up in value. But yeah, if you have some staked TRX, you can use the energy it produces  and convert it into fees when engaging with smart contracts, which token transactions are. |

I like BTCSession and he is making very good videos, but colcard and nvk are one of his sponsors  The dude has a lot of them, I wouldn't be surprised if Coldcard is on that list. I never pay attention to the first minute or two of his videos and jump forward when the real content begins. After watching this video I can confidently say that this is one of the worst looking hardware wallets I ever saw... it's huge and wider than his smartphone  The size is too big, but I don't care about the shape of it. That is, if I wanted to buy one, its wide calculator body and the many buttons wouldn't be the thing that would stop me. Unless it's a dildo-form, I don't care. Coldcard added BBQR code format that is not supported in any software wallets... and they say it was done right Those are animated QRs, right? What do you mean not supported? Does that mean there is currently no popular software wallet capable of reading the QRs that the Q1 generates? Can I ask the source for this information? |

Same merit count, same signature campaign, similar avatars, and similar personal texts with messages of appreciation for a great user. Sadly, you are destroying me in the posts/activity to merit ratio. How long until they accuse us of being alts, @BlackHatCoiner?  |

It is safe to put aside anything related to JackpotRacer and his claims against blackjack.fun (at least until/unless further evidence is put forward or more allegations are made). No scam has happened so that subject is off the table for me. To my knowledge, they have not had any serious scam allegations made against them therefore (as I mentioned before) even if there was an issue where the Curacao licence might have expired and the Anjouan licence might have started, it would not be as serious an issue as them stating they had the licence at all all times but it turns out they were not covered. I consider this a secondary importance. A casino and the people running it can be trustworthy even if their business is unlicensed and vice versa. It doesn't look good if they are lying about it or showing the wrong one (which was the case here), but if they are not stealing from and scamming their players, then it's not a problem. The area where JackpotRacer could be useful is if he can prove that the casino is (still) running games that can easily be manipulated. That's something the community should know about and decide for themselves if they want to trust such a casino with their money. |

I hope that one day Satoshi will reveal his identity so we know who's behind the Bitcoin. Only time will tell, we will just wait and wait for his revelation. I don't thing we will ever hear that from whoever was behind the pseudonym satoshi. Maybe another party reveals something we never knew or saw before, but I don't think satoshi will. I don't even see a reason why they would reveal their identity now after so many years. Doing so can only cause problems, confusion, and maybe even fear if it was an invention by someone the community dislikes. Bitcoin has come a long way without the community and general public knowing who satoshi is, and I see no reason to change that. |

I don't think I understand how is this a concept of the lesser of two evils. Unless I understand things wrongly... I wasn't talking about JackpotRacer's actions. I was talking about the bug in Blackjack.Fun's game that allows the outcome to be manipulated. It's a lesser evil if that bug is present in a beta environment where you aren't depositing and playing with your own money. It would be worse if someone could use the bug against you in a real-money game where you deposited your own money. Imagine you are playing the game and it looks like you will win, but due to a bug they haven't fixed, you lose the round? In the meantime, where is the Blackjack.fun forum representative Eva when it comes to posting here? This thread was created by her to repel against what she cited as unfair/unjust attacks on the reputation of the casino yet she has been largely absent from the conversation including not addressing questions that some of the community sincerely feel should have been answered by now. If I can venture a guess, she doesn't like the direction the thread has taken. It's no longer just about JackpotRacer's wrongdoings, which have already been established, it's also about whether or not the casino and the people running it are capable of hosting a fair game that can't be cheated by those who know how to. |

I just found they cloned some of our local members Pmalek and FatFork, they became timothy617 and alex720. They should have given me the name Timmy instead of Timothy. Those who watched South Park back when it was worth it, they know who I am talking about.  |

Totally stupid in my opinion... now they are offering ''Bull market return'' discount Tomorrow, we should have a discount because we are sad bitcoin didn't go above $65.000 yet. Something is not really a discount if you are offering it all the time.... just sayin. Of course, not. They just want to sell more devices, no matter what. But yeah, it would look much better if they jut offered a discount code for the next week/month/custom period of their choice, instead of using a new one every day. I have never seen that before. The guy says the device clicks on random areas on his screen no matter what he does on it, which hinders normal usage of the wallet. |

<Snip> The list is a good start, and it seems unfair to make it shorter. Still, there are users there who haven't posted here in years, like DeathAndTaxes, Mike Hearn, Gavin Andresen, etc. We are also seeing very little of Carlton Banks lately, and that's a guy who knows what he is talking about and deserves a place at the top of such a list if he was more active. Additionally, gmaxwell and achow101 don't participate in discussions that frequently. So, if I had to reduce your list to 5 users (in no particular order), taking into account those who are very active and still with us, here it is: - NotATether
- ranochigo
- nc50lc
- mocacinno
- pooya87

Congratulations to all the winners, you guys deserved it!
It's sad that o_e_l_e_o is no longer with us, can't accept his award, and probably doesn't even know about it. The technical discussions will never be the same!
Big thanks to all the winners and a special one for o_e_l_e_o.

An unrelated note, but why does the Blockchair link for this address show that there are no transactions? It looks fine on my end. It shows all 12 our of 12 transactions like Mempool.space. Maybe it was a temporary glitch in the matrix or something in your browser that causes the error. Anyways, Mempool.space has become my go-to service when I need to check something on the blockchain. The only thing I find weird that it's not there is a BTC price or a chart. |

I know that the eXch representative has said no to including the TRC-20 version of USDT on the platform, but I am still hoping that will happen. Out of all the USDT variants, I use that one the most. DAI is, obviously, the best if you have to engage with a stablecoin, but I haven't met many people that want it as much as they want USDT as long as they have a choice.

And if Satoshi worked for the NSA i think it would be harder for him to hide his identity, because NSA should have a record to his previous work, and it could be easily linked to his real identity. If he worked for a secret agency, it might have been on something completely unrelated, but he had the needed clearances to discover and learn the information he needed to know about weak encryption algorithms. Something like Snowden who had access to plenty of information because it was required for the systems he worked on. I deleted PrivacyG post by mistake and informed the user via PM. I didn't pay attention and clicked on the wrong button. Feel free to post it again mate. Here is the whole post in quotes: Well. Since there is no evidence for any thing about Satoshi other than that he was very likely an English man. There are many things to speculate on and about.
I sometimes wonder whether Satoshi was the pseudonym for one single person or for a group of people. Or maybe he was one person who initiated what we know today as Bitcoin but was helped for the most part by many programmers who wanted to build this kind of payment system.
Then you can also speculate on the subject more conspiracy ish. What if Satoshi and Bitcoin were experiment project code names and we were the test subjects. What if we still are. If there is one thing I am almost entirely sure about, it is that if Satoshi is just one person then they are a VERY intelligent person. It is pretty hard to invent all of this all on your own with no external help. If they are a group then I rather not know who they are and live my life believing they wanted our best, not our worst.
I do not know what to believe. Due to how complex Bitcoin is and how well made it was from the start I tend to think it is NOT a single person. If it is, then it is likely they were part of a Three Letter Agency and decided to part ways and give us an option to Freedom knowing what was coming for all of us and for our Privacy.
Best answer is that I am sincerely confused. He may be an agent of NSA. It may be NSA themselves. Or maybe not.
After all. We are all Satoshi, right! Or maybe he was one person who initiated what we know today as Bitcoin but was helped for the most part by many programmers who wanted to build this kind of payment system. Yes, that is a possibility. Satoshi might have been the person who was the anonymous spokesperson for a group of developers who never spoke a work themselves but worked together. <Snip> Please don't quote an entire OP when replying in someone's thread. It looks bad and is completely unnecessary. You can quote a part of it it if your reply is directed to a specific part of the text. Otherwise, just write a standard new post like anyone else. I would appreciate if you go back and edit the post and remove the quoted OP. Thanks! |
