Here's a good example of how not to consolidate your small inputs: 217 inputs, 21 outputs, 0.07247704 BTC sent in total, and 0.04420628 BTC paid in fees. Some of the inputs are literally worth less than the fee paid to include them. |

It's probably for the same reason you still see a Merit button when you've reached your maximum for that user, or when you're out of sMerit: it's not worth the effort to remove all exceptions.

This *inbound* thing is exasperating. How can you prevent this from happening before doing the actual transaction? There are ways to increase inbound capacity, but that fits better in The Lightning Network FAQ. |

The top 4 pools as we speak mine about 75% of the blocks. This means that even if 4 pools started censoring transactions based on federal orders, there would still be 1 in 4 blocks that would ignore all the censorship bullshit. What happens when they decide to ignore any block containing a blacklisted transaction?  Realistically, I think it will lead to a chain reorg and the block disappearing again. Ideally, it should lead to a Fork, in which the majority of Bitcoin users chooses the chain without censorship as the real one. the new law is different.
if I mine 10k and take it from say viabtc on may 1st I have two weeks to file a special form. or a felony and s committed. What if you solo mine a block? Are you supposed to declare who paid you $400k? Would they want a name? too small to self mine and simply report kyc on me. Like: "I, philipma1957, created this money out of thin air"? Weird laws! |

Yes, I thought so too but you are the first person who answers in more than 12 hours. It looks like you were refunded.
We use:
- our on-site support ticketing system
- email (both with and without PGP)
- SimpleX
For fast and secure assistance please use our ticketing system as it's monitored and attended by all of our team members. Your communications will be encrypted by our own TLS certificate on our HTTP server without any intermediary third-party servers (such as Cloudflare), since all the frontend servers belong fully to us and operate strictly on bare metal hardware that will be automatically considered compromised by a state-level attacker in case there is a single unexpected reboot to happen.
Email without PGP is also a fast option which is also attended by various people but less secure.
Email with PGP is a slower option, since the PGP key is only possessed by the core admin/founder.
SimpleX is only attended by the core admin who is not always online and doesn't have it installed on a mobile device (which might change later). |

Could you please tell me something? It shows " General error (ERROR_SENDING)". My guess is the LN network couldn't find a route, or you may not have enough inbound capacity. You'll have to wait for support to respond. |

DeFi was supposed to stand for "Decentralized Finance". If they can be shut down, they're not decentralized and don't deserve to use that name. You are missing the point. It doesn't matter if they call themselves they are decentralized or not and what they deserve. It can very easily happen that domains (and everything else recognized as their resource) are seized, which will put them in the same group as mixers. I'm kinda expecting the long-term result to be more real decentralization. BitTorrent magnet links for instance don't rely on a single domain name.Mining is also supposed to be decentralized and yet, we see people closing down their farms... Decentralized means it keeps working after someone shuts down their farm. |

Do we know since when wallet file use Berkeley DB? I recall very early version of Bitcoin Core have almost no external dependency. I can't tell you that. But it will make it easy to rule out most files. OP's "backup" looks weird: random file names look as if it came from file recovery instead of a backup. |

You’re probably wondering why this is in Meta. There are some that feel bitcointalk.org is a social media site, and some categorize it entirely otherwise. It's a lot of blabla about a rich guy who wants more money. Does bitcointalk.org need or gain any use of adding a feature that lets a user create a bitcoin wallet that would serve the following purposes No. Not your keys, you know the drill. "The forum" doesn't want to hold user funds, and I don't want "the forum" to hold my money. |

I suggest that Bitcointalk ban all Defi platforms as soon as possible, and wordfilter their domains, why wait for a verdict and risk the forum being identified as a place where such services are desirable? DeFi was supposed to stand for "Decentralized Finance". If they can be shut down, they're not decentralized and don't deserve to use that name. |

What should I be looking for? Probably wallet.dat. That's what bitcoin-qt used. I know that now its wallet.dat and its in app folder but back then there was no instalation.. it was just a folder with files and you run everything through cmd. I've never seen a different name for the wallet. If only I could remember the pool I was using.. you would look on a list of pools and pick one to set it up. Google tells me Slush was the first mining pool in 2010. I was trying to make $100 a day at that time, bitcoin was 0.25 - 0.30 so that would be about $100 a day if I mined 24 hours but I couldnt play league of legends at the same time, it would stutter so I stopped mining. I highly doubt it was ever possible to mine $100 a day on a GPU, and if it was, why wouldn't you turn it on again when done with your games? Try the file command on Linux: file wallet.dat
wallet.dat: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9, native byte-order) |

And we still expect to see mass crypto adoption… this is another example that shows us why it is still an unrealistic expectation. Imagine grandpa’s and grandma’s guarding their own private keys. “Priv wot? Get tha fuckoutta here!” Legacy banking/custodial solutions will always be the only choice for these people Old people (and some younger people too) get scammed through (internet) banking too. They fall for phishing emails or phone calls, and their money is gone. Physical money has a much better "user interface", and even then I've seen scams with "money doublers" in real life. |

How about accounts that were issued the permaban for using AI content generator or plagiarism, without first issuing a warning and without any record of previous ban cases. I mean we have such cases too. Can we consider such cases to be unjust especially maybe if/when the culprit claims to be ignorant of the offence. "I didn't know stealing is wrong"? |

I remember years ago there was an EU project to require every user to identify themselves to access online social networks that could include forums, and theymos said something like that he was not going to pay any attention if a "Bolshevik" EU requirement came for that. You mean this statement: I intend to ignore all stupidity coming out of the EUSSR? In view of what's happened recently, I am not so sure what he would do now if such a requirement came, especially from the USA. You can't really expect theymos to break the law. This comes to mind: Maybe Bitcoin will be banned in the US someday, and then I'll have to either shut down bitcointalk.org or find a way of moving it to some remaining territory of freedom in the world. That's the problem with centralized forums. I wish that more work was being done on creating decentralized, uncensorable, but also usable forums. I would love nothing more than to be able to shut down bitcointalk.org due to some decentralized solution making it obsolete. Find me a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working on this, and I'll donate to it. it is federal law and is a felony to receive 10000 usd worth of any crypto without reporting full kyc to the feds. That sounds like an impossible law to follow. You have a Bitcoin address in your profile. Anyone can send you $15000, and you'll have no way to find out who it was. Then what? It's the digital equivalent of throwing a pile of money in the mailbox of a random house. |

No it's my fault, to check if I copied the address to which I want to send correctly, I put it in google and opened in the mempoolspace website, I did not notice that a completely different address was opened and later copied it from the website again and sent btc to it. This is why I never ever use an address from my browser history or anything else, and always verify the address on the original source before sending. I got answer ,that if account (which was credited )doesn’t belongs to me they can't help.
so ~5000 usd fell "from the sky" to someone. From the exchange's perspective, that makes sense: the account owner could have received a payment from a third party directly to his exchange account, and said third party could now be trying to get the money back. I thought that the least that the exchange could do was to AT LEAST inform the customer that the money was received by mistake and from whom. Maybe he is a conscientious person and his morals or religion do not even allow him to embezzle other people's money. That would make sense too. I get that the exchange doesn't want to decide, but getting their customer in contact with OP would be the decent thing to do. Correct me if wrong. But considering the situation OP is in, if the owner of that Address has not logged on to KuCoin for over an year then the Exchange could send out a notification through Email or other methods of communication to the owner. Something like a deadline 12 months for now. If the owner never responds and never logs back to KuCoin either, the Coins be returned to OP. And a year later the account owner asks the exchange where the money that he received from his client went.... Anyway, if he/she was a conscientious person, he/she would have probably sent it back already. If I receive 0.07 BTC on one of my Bitcoin addresses, I still can't be sure the on-chain sending address belongs to the guy who sent it. I also can't be sure about the reason for the transaction. I once had to search quite a while to find out why I received a payment, and it was not accidental. |

Since I registered as a member of this great forum When was this? 2021 or 2022? Because there's no way this is your first account. Look at your post history: sucking up to JJG, making lists of meritable posts, involving yourself in Reputational matters, making generic posts in Beginners & Help and then some Gambling section posts as you are readying yourself to one day apply for a casino sig spot. (For what is likely to be your 3rd or 4th account, if not more). He's on my ignore list already, which usually isn't a good sign of being a quality poster. OP abandoned his topic the same day he created it. I guess because it failed to earn Merit. how do we cope with performing transactions with one another even when our identities are not known and in a case of fraudulent activities, how can the culprits be held responsible or accountable? Some people haven't even shared their real names. They made their usernames so unique and valuable with their contributions that people imagine a character when they hear the username. For example, when I imagine the username LoyceV, I could imagine a thick-skinned guy with a lot of patience and technical knowledge—nothing fancy! I wrote his username as an example. But there are a lot more. If someone breaks a deal, knowing the real name of a guy on the other side of the planet isn't going to help you. |

I prioritize security. On a hot wallet? |
|
|
|
I want to make sure my wallet and funds are as safe as possible. That means: cold storage, and backups. A hot wallet should only be used for amounts needed for daily use, and amounts you can afford to lose. Anything else should be in cold storage. Setting up proper cold storage is a bit of work, but it's the only way to be sure online attacks are not possible. Depending on your needs there are many different ways to create cold storage. |

You write about one confirmation...
I have always believed that it is necessary to wait for two confirmations of a Bitcoin transaction in order to have an absolute guarantee that the transaction will not subsequently be reversed.
However, I recently received information from the exchanger I work with that they now determine the receipt of bitcoins based on the presence of three confirmations. The address I am performing the transaction from is not a segwit bitcoin - address.
I wonder what this is connected with? It's based on the risk. If you receive one small transaction once, you're probably good. But if you receive many high transactions in each block, something may go wrong someday if a block gets replaced. By waiting for more confirmations, you largely reduce that risk. Bitcoin Core still recommends 6 confirmations by default. |
