And what happens if he simply cannot find the right seed - for real?
And what stops him to say he didn't manage to recover the seed, but actually having it and withdraw the funds a bit later?
And what stops others come with fake "service requests", although the keys are not from the wallet they say?
Do you really think that an experienced escrow would fall for this? (because it's clearly a trap)

Yep, there's Trading Discussion, there's Speculation too, and imho both fit into "investment" (and spam too).
Also while we keep telling people to not invest based on strangers' advises, we make a subforum specifically for such advises?! Do you really expect to see there different people than those from Speculation/Trading discussion?!

38k is also checked.
I fear that the price already grows too fast.
I like to see this kind of price, but this means that it may go to 100k any day now or could do a big correction at any time, literally.
I'd fear to do TA now 

I also recommend escrow.
And I recommend proper rules for this contest.

I mean for example, can I come and say that 1BestcHaNGExXQ5ZHoY1iTtNEoey8BF1kk is pretty cool and also active, although I am not the owner of that address?
Or can I come with a list of vanity addresses, mine and others'? How big that list can be?
Also I see no deadline for the entries.

All in all, I am not convinced that OP really wanted a proper contest. If he really wants that, he has to put more effort into the topic and into organizing it.

1. I don't know for that website, but a quick search told that it should be legit. They have a not-really-updated announcement also on this forum.
2. If you edited eth_pool.bat like in the video, that's pool mining. And as I said, in solo mining you'll probably get nothing.
3. Last time I've been mining it was not recommended to mine to an exchange address, what the video recommends (Binance); you may be better with your own address.
4. As idea, you may also look for pool that automatically exchanges the mined ETH into BTC for you.
5. Make sure you understand that at the end of the month your electricity bill will be higher and these earnings should also cover that.
6. I don't know if the earned 4$/day is OK, but as I said, you should ask these things the actual miners in the actual mining subforum.

Clearly you cannot mine Bitcoin with graphic cards. If you want to mine with those you may try to ask in the Mining (Altcoins) part of this forum. You can mine altcoins and sell them for Bitcoin (if you mine altcoins listed on exchanges).
Also, I strongly believe that you have not much of a chance for solo mining. The coins that have market value will most probably need you to mine in a mining pool because of the overly high difficulty.
So while asking there what coins to mine, also ask for pool recommendations and maybe the right software and configuration too.

You are so right!
I am not using them almost at all since then.

But now they sank even deeper (if that's possible) with this Monero story (not that would be the first coin they drop just like that).
Now I withdrew my last few altcoins from there and thinking of removing my account too (I'm not convinced how/if that's possible though).

The previous bull run made Bitcoin rise some 20x and then fall some 3x. But the fall was not in the same year.
However, many voices tell that current bull run is different. History will tell if and what was different here. Some expect bull run be longer.
But don't expect it to go up and up. Some corrections may happen along the way.

If I'd look solely onto the charts I'd be terrified that we are near the end of the bull run.
But knowing what is driving the current bull run - some overly hungry institutional investors - I think that it'll still take a while. I have some expectations for 100k, but my expectations mean nothing.

Since nobody can predict the future, .. it's safer to say that anything can happen 

Caps lock, num lock, US vs DE or FR keyboard are the usual suspects.
As @mocacinno said, just restore the wallet again, it's much faster than guessing what you've done wrong.
And keep that seed super safe, preferably offline.

Thank you!
But please also be careful and read o_e_l_e_o post, he has some good points there. Especially now that week-end is near you better use a bit smaller fee, instead of risking.

I just have another idea: if it's not your first transaction from there, you can look at an older similar transaction on a block explorer (my latest favorite is chainflyer.bitflyer.jp/ ) and see its number of inputs, outputs and size as some sort of reference.

Bitcoin has new ATH from time to time. Now, in the middle of bull run, we have new ATH even multiple times a day in some of the days.
At some point a correction / bubble burst may come again, then an even bigger ATH. And so on again and again.
You didn't give a time frame, nothing. Imho the real ATH will be many years from now. And much higher than the numbers you've posted.

I'd guess that GUSD could be properly backed, hence OK-ish.

But all in all, each stable coin is as good and legit as its issuer and you have to trust that issuer.
What crypto taught me in the last years is that best is to trust no one, hence there's no perfect stable coin.

And "best" depends a lot by your use case. If you use Binance a lot, it can be BUSD, for example.
If you just move value from one place to another quick, Tether is just fine, usually, since it's accepted by most (but I wouldn't hold it for hours).

Holding USD* stablecoins is imho useless, for such job there are for example gold-backed stable coins that may do the job better.

Al in all, it depends by your use case. I don't like any of the USD stable coins and especially Tether cannot be trusted (and imho should be delisted by most).

Ohh, well, it depends on the size of your transaction.
It depends on how many inputs you have there (not input addresses, instead how many times you deposited in that same address), how many outputs, what type of addresses are involved into the transaction...
So I cannot give you an answer, since I have not enough info to calculate that for you.
But you can try to calculate for yourself with https://coinb.in/#fees
You can get from there the transaction size, and multiply yourself with the amount/vByte you want to pay.

Take a look at a website like https://mempool.space/ which also shows the fee in satoshi / (v)Byte
If you want the tx get confirmed in a matter of minutes, probably around 90-100 sat/vbyte would do.
If you can wait, pay less.

I'm not sure what you don't understand, since that price bar your have there is basically telling the same.

I guess you better read this thread: [Tutorial] Making your crypto inheritible
It covers exactly nLocktime in Electrum for locking funds until certain block.

But you'll have to read the thread further, since somebody talked about mempool not accepting tx too far in future (if I understood correctly).

I guess that I had some more patience than you  
I went basically on the same path, but I've looked more carefully.
And I have something fro you: https://bitcoin.org/bin/
If you go into those subfolders, in some you'll get binaries/installers too, back to 0.10.3 0.8.6 (also see insecure folder), I hope that's old enough for your needs.

No, BTC doesn't have to do anything special.
If the traders are skilled, they will earn money most of the time, and when they won't, they have proper safety nets.

Unfortunately everybody thinks he knows what trading is and basically bet on market movements. That's not trading.
However, it's the first time I read that Bitcoin must do something special to please the traders.

You're incorrect. Just look at USD charts, which based on what you said should remain more or less the same.
There were days in November-December when WAVES was at over 8$ a piece. Not it's struggling at 5.5$ and seems to prefer going downward than upward.

I use Mycelium since it supports Hardware Wallets. Else I would have been probably using Electrum.
Is not the best wallet, but it's also not bad.
I think that it deserves a place in the (although not bad at all) list mk4 made.
I'd also add that Ledger Live wallet is quite crap and you better use another software with their hardware wallet.

Exactly. I've seen this misconception so many times, I've seen so many newbies claiming that Bitcoin tx fees are too high because they were misled that withdrawal fees are tx fees ...
People don't realize how bad this is for Bitcoin and its adoption from the average Joe.
And somehow this is not said often enough and loud enough...
