What do you mean it's not counting as plagiarism?
You can't plagiarize your own work.

He literally copy pasted exact same text and posted it with at least six of his accounts, and that is definition of plagiarism.
Actually, that's not the definitiont. Not all copying is plagiarim.
By definition plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own. If they're alts, it can't be plagiarism. Just a regular shitpost.

If you want to donate Bitcoin to a random person: just post a funded private key. There's no need to send it to an address watched by dozens of bots that use 450 sat/vbyte in fee.
Then again, even this forum might be watched by bots: I wouldn't be surprised if any funded private key or seed phrase that gets posted will be sweeped within 2 seconds.

For the moment, I haven't submitted the private key (I haven't unpeeled the coin yet) because I want to be sure of the process first.
How much do you trust your macOS and all other software you've installed on it? Do you trust it with €35,000? If not, you should NOT enter your private key and go for a solution that includes offline signing.
As long as you haven't peeled the coin, you can take as long as you need to research how to do this.

Quote
Another reason is that I'm hesitating between peeled the coin and convert in bitcoin or selling the coin in the "Collectibles" part of the forum.
What do you think about it ? What's the best solution ? I have searched a little bit on the forum but the opinions are divided.
I'm with Cricktor on this one: it's risky to sell, even though you might get more money for it.

Sorry but what are the forks ?
Follow the link to Fork claiming service Wink But don't believe the values anymore, those days are long gone.
My advice: don't worry about them before moving your Bitcoin. People have lost their Bitcoins through scam wallets before. But don't forget about them either, you're currently looking at about $400 extra that can be taken from your private key.

If it could be done with Bash Linux it would be awesome.
I'm following this Smiley
I sometimes use Electrum to create an unsigned transaction using a watch-only hot wallet, but it would be great if the entire transaction can be created offline (after manually entering the UTXO).
8005  Economy / Reputation / Re: Wow, I have also heard about this issue SPAMMERS on: April 30, 2022, 06:37:04 AM
Did anyone notice
Yes, I noticed 2 minutes before you Wink

I would say that this can also be considered plagiarism. Same text posted by different (we accept them as different users if they are not marked as alt) users.
I don't think it counts as plagiarism (that's why I didn't report it as such), because it's obvious they registered at the same time and are most likely alts. So I don't expect Mods to ban them for this, and spamming often gets a lot of leeway.



I have no idea what they try to accomplish: fishing for Merits?
8006  Other / Meta / Re: Does the forum not like us using TOR or privacy applications? on: April 30, 2022, 06:29:41 AM
Google or whatever Captcha provider basically assigns how problematic a certain IP has been, and based on that presents the captchas. Tor being particularly problematic for them, tends to result in some frustrating captchas that tend to go on forever.
I've seen other captchas lately, but didn't look at the name. They work much better, also on Tor.
The main problem with Google captcha is that it indeed takes forever. I've had cases in which I spend 5 whole minutes clicking, after which it times out or tells me it fails. It seems to load images a slow as possible, which I assume is meant to do all kind of tracking. A robot doesn't care, for humans it's terrible.

My laptop went into "CPU protect mode", which means it runs at the lowest possible clock rate so I had to reboot it. But I need to bring it now, so I can't restart the script.

8008  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [List] Gift cards providers on: April 30, 2022, 06:09:14 AM
Anyone used bitrefill recently? Its still good yes??
It works fine for me most of the time. Sometimes not all cards or all denominations are available.

Quote
Would possibly need recommendations for gift card providers who could possibly be better than bitrefill perhaps?
I haven't tried others (that says something about how good Bitrefill works for me).

I would not advise you to buy high-value vouchers. This is the kind of thing that makes Amazon flag your account and suspend it. Their system is sometimes too strict. Personally, even if my Amazon account is old, i wouldn't add a 200€ voucher to it
I've seen the stories, and I haven't tried it, but it's not something I worry about. Even if I pay by voucher, Amazon charges my creditcard with a 0.00 euro reservation. So if their gift card "bounces" (which would be ridiculous to begin with!), they won't lose money.

Although on first reading I didn't understand your sarcasm until I followed your bitcointalk url link here... That said, maybe this documentation may help you...

https://electrumsv.readthedocs.io/en/sv-1.3.13/problem-solving/coin-splitting.html
I can assure you there's no sarcasm in my post Smiley
You're linking to the Electrum SV Fork, I don't think that helps. The keyword is "sent to pubkey", and I can't import those read-only on Electrum. It might work if I import the private key, but I don't dare do that on a hot wallet. So I can't use it.

Anyway, I downloaded bitcoin-sv-1.0.9-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz, but it didn't work "out of the box". It turns out I need to manually create a .conf, which I did (following node.bitcoinsv.io/sv-node/installation/bitcoind). After that, it's running, but without GUI, I have no idea how to import a pubkey which I can use to get the balance needed to sign an offline transaction.
8012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BSV] [Bitcoin SV] Original Satoshi Vision on: April 29, 2022, 05:03:03 PM
I'm helping someone recover BSV sent to pubkey in 2010. For several other Forkcoins, I managed to do this by downloading the full client (Forked from Bitcoin Core), importing the pubkey, and syncing. For BSV, I can't get it to work. It seems like it's not just a Fork from Bitcoin Core, and I can't get it running.

Any help recovering those 12 year old BSVs is appreciated Smiley

Update: see this post for my solution on recovering BSV that was sent to pubkey without exposing the private key to a hot wallet.
8013  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: LoyceV's small Linux commands for handling big data on: April 29, 2022, 04:29:34 PM
It is not like leading zero removed somewhere during the process?
I though pubkeys should always have 65 or 33 bytes (including the one for flag).
I'm not sure. If there are leading zeros when the pubkey is "shorter", I may be able to include them by simply counting from the right instead of from the left.
8014  Other / Archival / Re: Forum no longer friendly with content from Medium on: April 29, 2022, 04:20:56 PM
Even though I was the only one who had problems with the report history, and it is unlikely that anyone else would have, theymos made changes so that I and others could not have such problems again.
That's something completely different, it's related to the forum itself. Medium is a third-party who (apparently) banned Bitcointalk's image proxy.
A real solution would be an image host dedicated to Bitcointalk, and integrated as well, but I guess that gives copyright headaches. The problem with using external sites for images is that they can disappear at any moment. I used to use tinypic.com, which disappeared. I now usually use loyce.club/other for my images, but at some point (give it 100 years), it will be gone. Hosting images on the forum itself would ensure they survive as long as the forum survives.

Wallet is big (1 GB) and has long history. It is running since few hours now.
For what it's worth: my wallet is less than 1% of yours, and listreceivedbyaddress takes less than a second on much slower hardware.
8016  Economy / Services / Re: LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service) on: April 29, 2022, 03:28:42 PM
I learned something new in the past week: back in the early days of Bitcoin, coins were sent to pubkeys instead of addresses. This makes it impossible to sign offline using an SPV wallet.

After some fiddling, and after dusting the addresses to enforce replay protection, this procedure worked to extract BCH, eCash, BTG and BCD that was sent to pubkey:
  • Install a fresh spare laptop (with VPN of course)
  • Download the full client (the one Forked from Bitcoin Core) (note: I do not trust this software, but used CoinMarketCap.com to find the "official" website)
  • Import the pubkey, let it synchronize
  • Take it offline
  • Import the private key
  • Create a raw transaction to a new address (on the correct chain!)
  • Copy the transaction to a USB stick
  • Broadcast the transaction from another device
  • Wipe the laptop (don't let it go online again after you entered the private key!)
I haven't figured out yet how to do this with BSV. Talking about this shitcoin: Coinomi is delisting is on May 1! If you have any funds left there, get rid of it Tongue

Instructions for my Fork claiming service.
Note that the prices at the start of this topic is very outdated.

First, there's this:
General note: never give your private key or word seed phrase to anybody! If you're not the sole owner of your private keys, you're not the owner at all!
If you want me to claim your forked coins for you, you're going to have to give me your private key(s). Now, read the sentence above this again. Are you confused yet? That was intentional to make you realize what you're about to do!

I can't claim all Forks, only the ones that are worth it. I can extract these Forks:
BCH: $480
BSV: $180
BCH-A now called eCash: $14
BTG: $25
BCD: $9
Those values are current estimates per Bitcoin (or Forkcoin for Forks of Forks) you owned when the Fork was created.

I can claim your Forkcoins for you, but for that, I'm going to need your private keys. Before sending them, make sure your Bitcoin is moved to another wallet, and confirmed (don't risk your Bitcoin for Forkcoins). After sending your private keys, you should consider them compromised and never use the same wallet again (but keep a backup anyway).
I charge 10% for doing this (negotiable for large amounts: make me an offer). It's probably not worth my time to do this for very small amounts.

Don't send private keys from a standard email that doesn't encrypt messages.
The easiest way to send private keys (or seed words, depending on your wallet) is if you create a Protonmail account. My email:
Code:
LoyceVswitzerland@protonmail.com
This way, the email has end-to-end encryption and should be secure. There's of course always the risk of your (or my) computer being compromised.
Alternatively, you can send half of each private key to my Protonmail email, and the other half by Bitcointalk PM. This way the parts don't end up on the same email account.

If you can't get the private keys, I'm going to need your wallet.dat. In that case I suggest setting a new password, emailing the wallet, then sending the password by PM. Please discuss possible other wallet formats before sending files.

Together with your private keys, please send addresses where you want your Forkcoins to be send to.
BCH, BTG and BCD can be traded (without KYC up to 2 Bitcoin per day, but DYOR) on Binance. I haven't found a trusted site for BSV and BCH-A yet. You're free to try an instance exchange at BestChange.com for BSV (but at your own risk if they disappear with your money).
Note that some sites mix up the names for BCH (higher value at the moment) and BCH-A (lower value). Be careful to use the correct chain!
For BCH-A, I have no idea, where to securely exchange them.
Since the value isn't that high, you can store BSV on for instance Coinomi on Android and create a legacy paper wallet from bitaddress.org where you store the BCH-A. Just write "BCH-A Shitfork" on it in case it ever gains any value (unlikely).

If you send me different deposit addresses for each Forkcoin, make sure you have the right chain! If you have them send to the wrong chain at an exchange, your coins are most likely lost.

Any prove of your "winings" or any prove of anything you say at all ??
You can't even trust "winnings" in such cases: someone could create many trading accounts, and make random trades. If they lose, they abandon the account. If they win, they continue.
In the end they'll have many accounts with huge losses, and one or a few accounts with a large profit. Those are the accounts they'll use to show off and convince people they can't lose. That's how they create a "backtrack". It doesn't mean the profit is sustainable and will continue in the future. Even worse: by the fact they want someone else's money to trade with, you can assume it didn't work out very well for their own money.
8018  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: LoyceV's small Linux commands for handling big data on: April 29, 2022, 07:45:46 AM
It seems like it's not always 148 chars that can be truncated.
It seems like it Smiley Combined with the fact that only a part of the spending_witness data is the pubkey, and that the pubkey length itself can vary, I don't know how to proceed. If you can figure it out, I'll continue this, but I don't have the time to search for it myself now.
8019  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How a massive untapped source of energy could save the world. on: April 28, 2022, 07:18:08 PM
This has to be one of the craziest ideas I've heard here
If you'd build this "disk", it would create a very large force with a very small movement. That's not easy to harvest, there's a reason any conventional engine runs at high RPM. If you end up with 1 round per day, that's not very useful.

Quote
There is a far easier to harvest energy that is generated somewhat by the same rotation with a little help from the moon, that is tidal waves, it would be far easier to create artificial estuaries for this rather than putting disks around the earth.
I was going to suggest this too. Tidal energy comes entirely from the earth's rotation. It even "leaks" a bit of energy towards the moon.
