There is a "label sync" plugin for electrum which uploads your labels to a server.
This allows you to retrieve them after recovering your wallet with the mnemonic.
I saw this on electrum wallet just now, I read on the electrum that labels, transaction ID and addresses are encrypted before they are sent to the remote server also in addition.

About the privacy, I still think the encryption can still help to some extent.

I've checked ANN thread of 777coins it seems there's no announcement maybe you can check on the official website. If I'm not mistaken you are a participant of 777coins before, isn't it?
You are right, I participated, it was a payment of the work I did (the post I made), I should have checked that, I did not know I will be paid because I left the campaign for another before the payment. Though, I did the weekly required posts completely but I left some days before the weekly payment and I was not expecting anything at all. So, this has been solved with what sheenshan commented above. I appreciate.
8304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What happened to my electrum wallet on: August 01, 2020, 10:48:48 PM
Yes, I participated in 777coin campaign, that was my first campaign on this forum before I joined Bitamp. I appreciate your effort.

ATMs just another one method to fool people with extremtly high fees. There are so many p2p exchanges, dexs, etc and people are still prefer atms
No, that is not acceptable, it can be more convenient to use bitcoin ATM, the transaction fee is high but you can need cash immediately. Also, bitcoin ATM really helping bitcoin adoption, and it is a good thing. It is good that people like bitcoin ATM. Later, it will even help about bitcoin adoption the more.
8306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / What happened to my electrum wallet on: August 01, 2020, 09:53:56 PM
I checked my electrum wallet today and I saw three transactions, the three transactions were all made into my account on 15th July.

Txid:
1. 6695e63e160d08812dc42be6fb89544ff8a3893a40943dc4fbfff01a34e007f0

2. 8e14042d099af21ae15a79610ec10adfd4a60a52a503e5e36b7d4ee627e62eef

3. d0eeb888eeea4a1758f0fceb8e12d7d38d7ca02760d9570720710ddc91a65f81

I received a total 0.0015 btc on the same day with the same address. You can use the txid to check.

Hope this is not dust attack? I do not know the sender. But I think dust attack should be with lower amount I will not be able to notice on my wallet balance.

8308  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How bad malware could be on bitcoin wallet devices on: July 31, 2020, 10:19:34 PM
Unprotected sites are ones without padlock and also not displayed as https. It's advisable to aviod such sites as its a suspect of phishing sites that is involved with malware, attaching with virus destroying devices and changes bitcoin addresses.
Security means the connection to the site is safe but that does not mean the site itself is free of malware, there are many sites with the padlock but contain malware. if you see the padlock, then it will be https. Getting antialware is very important and also not click links and ads, I have seen a link/ads from safe sites that will direct someone to malware sites and malware installation unknowingly follows.

Good for bringing this up, but for here I no think anyone go fall for scam, btt don teach us how we go dey smart and avoid scammers. But for people wey no dey this forum, ignorance dey their body. I join one group for telegram, for less than 5 minutes, one idiot come add me telling me about trading, the scammers dey tell me say na 24 hours return, that one even dey beyond ignorance if falled for, na greed.
8310  Other / Meta / Re: Hide posts and topics on: July 30, 2020, 01:25:49 PM
I did not say to hide all posts from everyone, but only some of them if you want.
Some people are visiting this forum anonymously without registration, this also makes the forum have importance not to only itself but also to the world, and it is as a result of what they gained from here, hiding function does not make sense, if you can not lock the topic or still not make it available to the whole world, then no need to make the topic imo.
8311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Kobe Bryant's death has been used for scamming. on: July 30, 2020, 09:05:55 AM
In order to protect your device used for bitcoin wallets, exchanges, bank accounts and other sensitive things, you need to get two devices, one for such sensitive things and will not be used for browsing, no matter how expert how are, if they use their device to browsing, there is possibility of installing malware unknowingly.

Using another device for heavy browsing will be good,  not your sensitive devices. Like having two phones, one for only sensitive things and should only go online for such purposes related to bitcoin wallets or exchanges while the other for browsing and related things.

8313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: African bitcoin ATMs on: July 29, 2020, 10:07:46 PM
I don't think the numerous ATMs installed in SA are as a result of trading volume and mass adoption, it could be how those who own them were welcomed with open hands by the south African government. Reverse could be the case with the Nigerian government as we witnessed how they tried to ban Bitcoin back in 2018 using the CBN to regulate unnecessary rules and laws. As times goes on and much more adoption is been done many others will be installed here.
You are so right about this, but like you said bitcoin is now getting more accepted in Nigeria, also Blockstale BYM that operate the only bitcoin ATM in Nigeria said to installed up to 30 bitcoin ATMs in Nigeria over time.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/nigeria-becomes-eighth-african-nation-to-welcome-bitcoin-atms/amp

clearly this is a news about the progress that has been made by countries in the african continent, it is not easy to accept the bitcoin atm may operate easily. in my country, recognition of bitcoin as a legitimate tool to be used as payment, cannot be issued yet.
whereas there are quite a lot of crypto followers but to give recognition as a legitimate medium of exchange is not yet brave, let alone to have to provide an atm machine. but the wonder for trade and exchange matters is there is no prohibition at all.
I will not dispute this because you are right, but in short short memory, can you remember how the world first go against bitcoin to the extent Wikipedia declared it as scam, there was a time many countries did not accept bitcoin. Bitcoin with time has been showing how itself can be so important to the world, and more countries are accepting it now. Bitcoin ATMs installation is increasing and a time will come when countries all over the world will accept bitcoin.
8314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: usdt tether market cap grows from 4,6 billions to 10,800 billions from March on: July 29, 2020, 09:53:10 PM
This topic is created on the wrong board, scroll down this thread, look at the left down part, you will see move topic, move it to altcoin discussion.

Do you think tether really has fiat for backing this usdt?  Wink
No, tether is completely a virtual currency, it is regulated in a way it will always be stable even if the demand and the supply is increasing or decreasing. Tether has no fiat to back itself but only from the extent of demand.
8315  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Quick How to guide: Setup Stop-Loss order on: July 29, 2020, 09:16:19 PM
Stop loss order is good but could be otherwaie at times, take a look at the scenarios

1. If you buy bitcoin at $9000 and you set stop loss to automatically sell bitcoin at $8500 when bitcoin price drcreased to $8600. Immediately the price deceased to $8600, the bitcoin will be sold, most people sell in getting stable coin in such time.

2. There are times the bitcoin price will reduced to a price below $8600 and your bitcoin will be sold automatically, but very also possible that the price may later increase back, even above $9000.

3. The was a time in March, 2020, when bitcoin within a day dropped from $7500 to below $3600, this was a great advantage for people that had used stop loss.

So, we should be careful and try the use stop loss at the appropriate time, not all time is appropriate but most time is appropriate.
8316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: African bitcoin ATMs on: July 29, 2020, 07:15:23 PM
Wow! So, South Africa leads the pack? I was thinking either Kenya or Nigeria.
I too was surprised, but in term of trading volume, Nigeria has the largest. But, more bitcoin ATMs will be installed in Nigeria. About Kenya, it is clear that South Africa has a higher trading volume. South Africa has the highest number of bitcoin ATMs and the first was installed as far back in 2014.

kinda makes me believe that they sliped into bad habits
Very possible, it could be bad habit that cause it. If found early in gingivitis stage, only scaling (plaque removing) and rooting (smoothing) that makes the gum reattach to the teeth is a good option, it can even be effective against early stage of periodontitis.

And at any stage it is, I think seeing a dentist could help, it is treatable.

In addition to the disease, if not taking care of by scaling and rooting after noticing receding gum, no amount of brushing can heal the disease. That is why dentist intervention is needed.
