I found It in an old USB stick
How old? If the address was funded before August 2017, you can be certain it's multisig and not Segwit.

We need to hold an election or something and elect 20 users for DT1.
That's going to be a monthly thing, but to make it 20 would actually be interesting. Raise the requirements, and also raise the requirements for DT2.
But it's not going to help: eventually, anyone can get enough inclusions to qualify again. So the only thing I'd really like to see is 2 instead of 1 inclusion to reach DT2.
7683  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can't sign a message with bitcoin core on: June 03, 2022, 06:59:33 AM
The app I'm buying from is asking me to sign a message so that it can confirm I'm actually the owner of that address!
I haven't seen that before. Is that an AML thing?

You can do this offline
~
Use Tor.
No need for Tor on an air-gapped system.

Well, thing is that I didn't want to expose the priv key to the internet. I create these addresses in offline nodes so that the priv keys never "sees" the internet!
That makes it even easier: put Electrum on a USB-stick (or CDR), and install it on your offline node. Import privkey and sign offline.

A different approach: pay from a legacy address Smiley It's weird that Bitcoin Core still can't sign a message from a Segwit address, while it made Segwit the default. That basically removed functionality.

7688  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Jun 2022] Mempool empty! Use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs! on: June 02, 2022, 09:06:07 AM
Consolidate Bump!
Consolidate this small pocket change!

For several months, mempool has been mostly empty, but does fill up once in a while. This has happened a few timse in the past week.
Most of the time, 1 sat/vbyte is enough for a fast confirmation, but sometimes makes you wait a day.

Consolidate your small inputs while you can, low fees won't last forever!
When you are in a rush, it saves a lot in fees if you can use only one input address (and ideally use native SegWit: bc1q......).



Pro tip: instead of paying 1 sat/vbyte, pay a tiny bit more (say 1.1 sat/vbyte or even less):
Fucking Lightning channel waiting to open for almost 3 days now at 1sat/vb.
That's why I usually pay a fraction more than 1 sat/vbyte. 1.1 would have been enough to confirm a day and a half ago.
I don't know why I didn't think of this. Feeling kinda more retarded than usual ATM. Thanks for the great tip, brother.
This gives your transaction higher priority than all the 1 sat/vbyte transactions, which helps when someone dumps 70 MB at 1 sat/vbyte into mempool.

I will speak for myself, as I don't know what's the others' opinion (neither do I care): I will never configure my node to do such thing.
I'm with you.

@OP: I already came up with a name for your Forkcoin: Bitcoin Steal!


While on the subject of Forking, if I ever make a Fork, I'll call it BitcoinLV (BLV): Bitcoin Loyce Vision or Bitcoin Loyce Valenzuela. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

My questions is that ' is there any possibility that some point in time in future BTC community might decide something which can retrieve this lost BTCs?
No.

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.

Once Belarus embarks on a democratic transition, the EU will activate the €3 billion package, a mix of grants and loans leveraging public and private investments, to help Belarus to stabilise its economy, reform its institutions to make them more democratic and help increase the economy's resilience, growth potential and job creation.
EU buys influence in many countries, and it's one of the things I don't like about EU.

Lukashenko has shown that, ~, the EU may be the future.
How did he show that? From what I've seen, he wants the opposite.

Do you think the support to the Russian cause will cause these aids to cease? Is the relationship broken forever?
No. EU continuously wants to expand (which is another thing I don't like about EU). There is no "forever". If Russia would play their cards right, I have no doubt EU would send them money too. A new "EU friendly" president in either of those countries would change everything again.

I'm wondering if there are any public tools to do an advanced search on the BTC blockchain
I know Blockchair.com can export searches, but I can't find the link. If it's only 10 days, you might even be able to use their data dumps, and search in a spreadsheet.

Quote
To new wallet with balance < 0
There won't be any matches for negative balance.

Quote
Reason is to help a friend who lost track of his wallet address, but still has his password. The senders address is unavailable.
What is the password for? If it's for a wallet, there's no use if you don't have the wallet. Finding the transaction won't help.
7694  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Multisig with Time Lock? on: June 01, 2022, 12:58:41 PM
You can create a signed message that's valid only from a certain date in the future. I haven't tested it, but I assume that's possible with multisig too. That means you can broadcast the transaction once it becomes valid, or beat up your family members to get them to sign a transaction before that time.

I'm kidding with the "beat up", but also trying to make a point: what do you think is going to happen if you come to them telling them you need to spend your Bitcoin, but they have to deny your request because you asked so in 2022?

My solution is getting trusted friends and family to have a multisig setup which does not give them access to the coins but allows them to prevent any impulse withdrawing because of emotional attachment.
How about you drill a hole in your crawl space? Make it 10 meter deep, throw in your private key. If you ever need it, get a shovel. By the time you've reached a depth of 10 meters, your emotions have had enough time to reconsider Tongue

I think the best answer is this:
An even better solution is to look after your emotions.
Don't mix family and finances.
7695  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Forget about exchanger search! Use BestChange! on: June 01, 2022, 11:11:24 AM
To avoid the list from getting too long, we add only the most popular tokens to it. We can add a cryptocurrency/altcoin only in case it is represented in an exchanger on our monitor and there is a steady demand for it.
I get that you can't add it to the current Table or (drop down) List. I was hoping you could add a small "there's more" link somewhere to show everything that's available.

7697  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Silent payments on: June 01, 2022, 08:36:35 AM
But what if I send a very specific amount. Then I could just look at the next block, find that amount and see to which address it is send in reality. So at least the sender can very easily verify the real address.
No need for that: the sender already knows the real address. It's not possible to send Bitcoins any other way.
7698  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Silent payments on: June 01, 2022, 07:56:42 AM
Yes, this is exactly what sprung to mind when I read this proposal. In my opinion, the biggest disadvantage - just as in Monero - is the need for transaction scanning.

There were around 100 million Bitcoin transactions in 2021 [1], while Monero only had around 5 million transactions in the same time [2] - a factor of 20 that is not insignificant I'd say, especially when using an SPV wallet. If you open it after a few weeks or months of inactivity, it will have to churn through a ton of computation if such a scheme was introduced in Bitcoin.
That's easy to prevent: don't add Silent payments to SPV wallets. If you want to use this, run your own full node, and keep it online. You'll download everything anyway, and only have to check a few transactions per second. That shouldn't give any problems. And it's better for privacy.

Maybe silent payments together with help of miners can break connection with senders. Let's say we added a rule to Bitcoin that when a sender sends 1 coin to some kind of null address then miner will include that transaction plus new type of transaction without inputs (similar to coinbase transaction) that pays back 1 coin to new silent payment address of the sender that only miner knows. We are assuming that miner will not reveal that information. In case miner cheated and sends coin to somewhere else, the sender probably can raise an alert(I have not thought of all the math) and honest nodes will reject that block. If lots of senders participate it will work like a mixer.
This would break the very basics of a blockchain. It's literally in the name: a chain that shouldn't be broken.

No. Just no. Let's not give the sender of a Bitcoin transaction the power to orphan blocks.

Code:

 Et cetera.
What if you have billions of page loads? For a site such as TPB, that's very well possible and it means they have to monitor billions of addresses. Even if you don't monitor them continuously, you'll have to regularly check for donations. I haven't seen any website that shows a new Bitcoin address on each reload, which confirms to me it's not feasible.
With Silent payments, you only have to monitor a few transactions per second.
7699  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Forget about exchanger search! Use BestChange! on: June 01, 2022, 07:27:38 AM
With our help you:
👍 Will easily find exchangers for a required payment direction, no matter how rare it is.
Even if I ignore the (many) altcoins that aren't supported by any of the exchangers on BestChange, this isn't true. I posted this earlier (quote shortened):
I always assumed the "List" button on BestChange would show a complete list. It turns out it's incomplete: today I noticed one of the exchangers on BestChange actually supports all 5 Forks that are worth something!
~
My suggestion for you: can you add a full list of all coins available on all exchangers, even if a certain coin is only available on one exchange?
I'll add an example: SimpleSwap takes XEC (only when I disable Fixed rate), but I can't find this on BestChange. I would appreciate a full list of all coins offered by any of the exchanges on BestChange.
