Pai depinde de softul de portmoneu folosit. In 2014 cel mai probabil nu aveai seed, asa ca partea aia o scoatem din discutie.
In general nu este afisata, ci trebuie ceruta (ca masura de securitate).

Apoi, daca foloseai Bitcoin Core trebuia sa faci niste operatii in consola ca sa o vezi.
Daca foloseai MultiBit trebuia sa o exporti.
Daca foloseai o casa de schimb (Bitstamp, Poloniex) nici macar nu ai acces la cheia privata si ai doar un cont (se ocupa ei pt tine)
Daca foloseai un wallet gen Xapo iar nu ai acces la cheia privata, ci doar la cont.
Daca foloseai un wallet gen Blockchain.info/Blockchain.com cred ca se putea afla/exporta.

Adresa este ceea ce vezi la freebitco.in la profile/change withdrawal address si a ta probabil incepe cu 1. (unele mai noi incep cu 3 sau bc1)
Cheia privata e mai lunga si de obicei incepe cu K sau L. (eventual vezi pasul 7 de aici)

I just love your predictions. Be careful that neither of us may live long enough to see your prediction correct for good. And you may have to cross out quite a lot of numbers meanwhile..

Este o diferenta mare intre sirul lung private key si sirul mai putin lung adresa. Diferenta este ca doar cu adresa nu ai nicio sansa sa cheltuiesti (transferi) acei bani. Si daca nimeni nu mai are cheia privata, vor ramane blocati acolo pentru totdeauna.
Asa ca ... poate te gandesti mai bine unde ar putea fi cheia privata a acelei adrese... eu mai mult de atat nu prea am cu ce sa te ajut 

Cand iti creezi un portmoneu cu un program be bune, primesti fie o lista de 12 sau 24 cuvinte (probabil in engleza) numit seed, fie un sir de genul L1v6yNDHtafJJG8aJVhW8vkHWuoVUQ7FF86iQbY8SU5V7ACgtBh1
(Doar) cu ajutorul acestora se pot cheltui banii din portmoneu.


Blockchain.com este si wallet, este si block explorer. Un block explorer iti arata orice tranzactie cat timp ii stii identificatorul (tx id) sau vreuna din adresele implicate. E informatie publica.
Cand ai facut contul pe freebitco.in ai introdus o adresa de Bitcoin. Acolo ai facut retragerea? Cum ai obtinut acea adresa? Cu ce fel de portofel?

OK, I misunderstood what you meant at first. I thought that you make a burn address simply adding the checksum to something.

And the rest is (more or less) covered by "unlike banks that have to pay for heavily guarded storage, you can hide billions on a piece of paper". Yes, it's much easier to build a Bitcoin wallet than a vault for gold 

Unless you have a crystal ball or can do time travel, you can be right and can be wrong.
However, this topic should be moved to Speculation board.

However, what you expect to happen with Bitcoin price when the Americans with money put aside see that the Stimulus money make their deposits worth less? Fall? Really?

Din pacate pe Android nu am folosit Electrum, ca nu stie hardware wallet. Asa ca nu stiu clar pasii.
Dar in primul rand trebuie sa imi spui daca ai seed pentru "adresa ta", sau ai private key pentru "adresa ta". Ca fara macar una din ele pierdem timpul. Nu trebuie sa le postezi (ca o sa poata altii sa-ti fure banii), ci sa zici daca/ce ai [1].

Apoi intra pe https://electrum.org/#download , sub Android vei gasi un link Google Play; instaleaza-l pe acela.
Apoi porneste Electrum si ... iti refaci wallet din ce ai seed/priv-key. Daca te blochezi aici si imi raspunzi la intrebarea [1] o sa incerc sa instalez si eu si sa iti scriu pasii.

(Si daca reusesti, sa fii atent cu ce fee/taxa de mineri trimiti banii catre adresa de BTM.)

It may worth mentioning that Wirex is ending the current VISA cards and started sending out their new MasterCard. In theory the fees will be different too.

And it may worth adding to the list OWNR prepaid VISA card, and maybe their "coming soon" virtual card too.

Salut. O tranzactie, dupa ce a fost confirmata de mineri, este ireversibila si nu mai poate fi modificata.
Este un pic ambiguu ce scrii tu aici. Adresa ta de bitcoin este a ta ar trebui sa ai private key sau seed pentru ea, nu? Adica instaleaza-ti local un wallet ca lumea pe baza private key / seed si esti in regula (doar sa fii atent sa nu instalezi malware; eu recomand electrum.org si daca esti pe comp sa verifici semnatura)

Well, if one is rich enough and mad enough, he can ask for having built something like Voyager probes and launch it to the void 
Or one can mix the gold with aqua regia and probably throw away the result (but I have enough knowledge on the matter).
The result would be pretty much the same 

Don't worry, the pump will come. The brrrr of the money machine is pretty loud and I don't think that the bears want to lose money, so they'll have to take a break pretty soon.


PS. I also thought that this Monday will start with a pump, but let's not forget that in America is not morning yet 

For the sake of analogy, just think on what banks do with gold.
Do they use it to manufacture good electric conductors? Do they manufacture jewelry? No, clearly no.
They simply store it as a "store of value" because it's known that gold doesn't change its properties and it's believed that gold is scarce.
If the banks would sell all the gold staying for no actual use, it may not be any longer such highly valuable.

Now Bitcoin. It clearly doesn't change its properties and it's known for sure it's scarce. So it already becomes something better than gold, exactly for store of value.
The fact it can be also used like a coin makes it even more suitable for the job.
What else it gives value? Its security. Unlike banks that have to pay for heavily guarded storage, you can hide billions on a piece of paper, knowing that the underlying math and the huge mining difficulty makes it a safe asset (as long as you know how to keep safe the information from "that piece of paper").

And same goes with Bitcoin as with gold. The price is high because of the demand. If there will no longer be demand, if whales sell, the price can also fall.
The "digital gold" choice of words is pretty well chosen and tells a lot.

This is correct. But the correct way to do it is to tax crypto gains, like they tax any other gains, not just simply cypto (which could mean possession).
And I think that most countries already do that, in a better or worse manner.

You're right. I was already corrected once in the past about this matter and I forgot. Sorry. I've corrected my post.
And thanks for telling.


True. Still... usually, but not always  (which sometimes is good and other times not so good)

I didn't read it fully, but I didn't see written a word about the Stimulus bills both Trump and Biden came with, which weaken the actual value of US dollar and which may have been one of the causes more institutions and individuals turned towards Bitcoin.
I think that it's something that could fit well into the article. But overall, it's a good read (and I've bookmarked it for a closer look).

From what I've read, RedBull Racing will keep using Honda until 2025. And afterwards they'll need some advertising space for whoever will provide the new engines.
All in all, although I like your idea, there's a chance you won't be able to get the full back wing for yourself.

I do answer to newbies when I can and I don't check for plagiarism unless it looks so. And I noticed that many times the newbies remove themselves the topic topics get deleted, for various reasons I don't know and I don't care.
Actually I've even answered to a topic I also reported, so the newbie has a chance to know why his topic got removed.

My point is that this forum is for discussing and helping around. If for whatever reason the topic is removed, so be it. The number of posts should not be the ultimate goal.

Some ideas:
1. It will need a little polishing since Multibit and Mt.Gox are ... part of the history.
2. It could be an idea for advertising to make it work with testnet coins.
3. It could be an idea to make it work on LN with much smaller amounts. Some may play it simply because it's on LN.

Of curse, for #2 and #3 you should lower the required funds (and the prize) and maybe show a progress (how many tickets are needed) until the next draw.

It's indeed interesting to see politicians having this kind of tweets.
Although he's wrong and LN won't stop the miners mine, hence will not reduce any consumption, his semi-conclusion is right: we need more LN nodes, we need  better adoption of LN (especially by the centralized exchanges!)
And the fact he already knows that LN exists is "a big deal" 
Ah, and innovation to make more efficient miners will only increase the hash rate, since mining will be even more profitable. It won't make mining greener.

My guess is that your money got stolen.
I don't know what wallet did you use, I don't know how you created the seed and where did you store it, but it looks like somebody else had access to it, hence managed to send your money to his own wallet.
I guess that you should:
1. Think harder on what went wrong.
2. Consider buying/using a hardware wallet for securing your funds.
