Since OP last logged in about one year ago, it may have been more useful to PM him in a hope that maybe the address linked to the forum is still active (and he has the appropriate settings).
Did @lonestar1 did that? Should we do that?!

How accurate this data could be?
There are places here and there offering lists with addresses that contain funds, so you can test for yourself. However, this information doesn't mean absolutely anything, since some will keep all their funds in one address, while others will keep them spread in more wallets. |

Imho it's not a good plan. The problem is that Bitcoin mining difficulty is very high and rising. That means that an old "unprofitable" ASIC will probably not get you almost any coins, or you'll need quite a number of generations of students to get to withdraw that dust.
If you want to teach students about mining, show them how mining works with any coin. You'll have to pick with every new generation a new worthless coin with low difficulty in order to show them everything, including hitting a block or at least receiving payout from the pool.
If you want to teach students about transferring Bitcoin, then imho your best bet is Bitcoin's testnet. This way they'll see the exact wallets they can use. And since Bitcoin Core needs very long initial sync and you'll probably want to have each student trying this on his computer, I think that a SPV wallet like Electrum would be more suitable, since it syncs fast and it can also work with testnet.
Paper wallets... they are kinda outdated if you want to show them in the "classic" way. Paper wallet is a nicely printed pair of private key + address. But nowadays it's easier and cleaner to introduced them to HD wallets and seed, which they can store instead of paper wallet, and with seed they'll have virtually infinite number of addresses, of which they can bookmark one or two and check on block explorers (there are also a few block explorers that can work with testnet too).

Dogecoin needs a proper SPV wallet for many years now. There was Multidoge in 2014, but now we are in 2021...
@dogemoon: your best bet would be to convince fellow Doges to get Electrum source code and modify it for Dogecoin network (or to make another SPV wallet). The problem is that also something like ElectrumX server is also needed for this (adapted and hosted), since that's the part that actually interacts with the blockchain.

The drawback with Binance is you need to hold a certain amount of coins
This is incorrect. You need those coins only if you want bigger cashback. Binance gains now many users for the card in Europe because it has basically no fees. Wirex is also advertising some sort of no-fees card/account, but from what I know they're not there yet, but it'll happen rather soon. And then there may be some competition. |

Don't they have a mobile application? Perhaps you could try using it to see how it goes
The usual bug in such cases, afaik, is that some wallet is not properly sync-ed. There's a very good chance the mobile wallet will also not help, since it should be receiving/showing data from the same source. The correct approach is moving on to a better wallet. |

Wonder if they just have a bunch of cheap chromebooks that they use to keep everything separated.
It can be done easily with each user having his own browser (Chrome, FFox, Edge, Brave, Opera, ...) on the same machine or, for clearer difference and avoiding surprises, with separate virtual machines installed for each. That part is the least problem imho. (However, I'm still shocked about these findings, since we don't talk here about the usual shitposters). |

I know but I wanted it simpler, just vote your Binance card and we'll see for the rest  If people will vote here, I will probably vote too, but much later.  |

I'm not sure what would be the relevance of this pool.
In most of the countries there's available only a tiny subset of those cards (if any) and the subset is different from region to region.
What I mean is that it may have been more relevant to split the pool by main regions covered by card providers: US, Europe, APAC, Russia, ...

I was genuinely concerned about him missing. Now, I have this, which may or may not be relevant to the story (apologies for so many quotes). Just noticed that Last of the V8s is still AWOL, anybody got any news from him, is he well?
Also gentlemand seems gone too.
I miss both their posts.
They’re both fine, I know them away from here. This is good news. I was a bit concerned about gentlemand since I thought that his account got hacked; his account is somewhat close to the "specs" from an account seller. Maybe you notify him to check account and maybe change password, just in case. |

I wonder if we'll see a decrease in the number of applicants, now that the payment rate has decreased.
No chance...

Do you have a large number of inputs (small transaction towards your wallet)? Also if you are not in a hurry, you may want to wait until the week-end with your transaction. I could show you how to set the fee manually, but then you'll set it to 1 sat/vbyte and then you'll complain that the transaction is not confirmed. I think that your best bet is to try in the week-end and then keep an eye on it. Also keep an eye onto https://mempool.space/ and see when the fees fall to 5-15 sat/vB (now they're at 105-256 sat/vB) |

I had another idea of just using a old Laptop with a fresh Linux Mint system to manage the wallets and transactions and nothing more. Risks of malware/trojans would be close to 0, not only because of Linux, but because of no other usage.
If you have a laptop for this job, a laptop that you can guarantee it will never ever go online, you can make yourself a nice cold storage. All you'll need is a mean of transferring the unsigned transaction to this and the signed transaction from this. Usually an USB stick does the job, although some argue that it's not 100% safe (imho it's close to that though). Although it's done for a previous version of Electrum, this doc will help you to understand what you have to do: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.htmlRemember, the laptop that holds the seed/priv.keys has to never ever go online. |

Actually the same with cars, he's not late there either....  Indeed, but that's debatable, hence my "maybe" On the Bitcoin part, on the other hand, it's not debatable (unless the other party is a troll). |

The thing is ... that maybe he was late with the car manufacturing, but he's not late with Bitcoin... |

Did you do that because you want to have EUR on your card or because you think that it will be rejected if you don't keep your funds in EUR? Like I said, I keep my card funds in BUSD and have no problem with shops rejecting it. However, I just remembered that the card did get rejected the first time I tried using it, but it was because for the first purchase user has to put it into the POS terminal. After that it can be used wireless (I don't know if that's the right word).
If it helps, I already had with this card payments with mixed EUR+BTC and BTC only too because my exchanged EUR have depleted. And there's still at least one shop rejecting it no matter what. All in all, I think that keeping only EUR or stable coins is not necessary and the problem is somewhere else (the shop's bank?). I too have a problem with cashback. I made few transactions and I didn't get any cashback. It's not mentioned in the app and I don't have any BNB (cashback is in BNB). If someone finds any info about it, I'd be very grateful I have payments made many days ago with status Paid. Those have no cashback yet. The payments with the status Completed, do have the cashback. I think that even with 0 BNB you get at least 1% cashback, but I don't know for sure since I think that I always had a couple of cents worth of BNB. |

It's an ERC-20 token and 1 token = 1 troy oz. The issuer is a coalition of cryptocurrency companies (Universal Protocol Alliance)
A token is collateralized by a certificate from Infinigold (an Australian Fintech startup working on the digitalization of gold and precious metal). It's then published on the blockchain and audited by Certik
The physical gold is at the Perth Mint in Western Australia hence the 'government-backed' since it's owned by the government of Western Australia
Hmm, this could actually be interesting. Thank you for the answers. Since my search didn't return any ANN and since the coingecko link were not showing any trading volume, I assumed it's some new gold scam token. So... Is there a proper announcement for this? I mean that searching for Infinigold (which seems to be Trovio now) I got to 2 tokens, PMGT and UPXAU?! |

What you guys think about all those hashes, are they legit wallets or are fake
Just think, why on earth would somebody give hundreds of thousands worth of money for pennies? They are most likely tampered, or erroneous, or the funds moved away long ago. But as long as there are suckers buyers for this scam "business", it flourishes. My advice is to stop dreaming and start thinking. Bitcoin is money. And if you want to get money, you have to get it like you'd get any other kind of money. If you see fairy stories, be wary. |
