Do you get to accumulate/ stack them?
No, that doesn't seem to work. I just tried to claim some bitcoin and ether again, but I am getting a notification that the balance must be empty for a successful faucet claim. I tried to claim monero and XRP as well, but that didn't work either. Based on my experience from yesterday when I was allowed to claim both BTC and ETH in the space of five minutes, it looks as if you can claim two different coins. But not more than that unless your overall balance drops to zero.

I have never used the Copay wallet, but what exactly is preventing OP to restore his wallet from seed and ticking the BIP-39 checkbox in Electrum? My guess is a different derivation path. Can't the correct derivation path be found somewhere online or by reaching out to the developers of the wallet?

What about this source for example for the derivation paths?

The important question is: Will it be possible to manage your coins and perform transactions through their web wallet in the future or not? Have they indicated that https://wallet.trezor.io/#/ wont be available after a certain date in the future?

The blog announcement is the more accurate definition. The Trezor Suite is currently one way of managing your assets, but it's not the only way. With new
features and improvements, they plan to make it the main/best/easiest way to handle your coins. If you don't want the main/best/easiest thing, you can still use the alternative (web wallet).

On a side note, I wonder what happened to him.
Considering how active TMAN was during January and February 2020 and that he didn't mention anything about leaving, taking a break, or doing something else, one can only fear the worst. His last post dates back to the end of February. February-March is the time when the pandemic really started breaking out all around Europe and the US. He might have gotten caught up in it.

It doesn't have to be COVID at all. Maybe he just got fed up with the forum, or he is in jail, or he is spending his crypto fortunes on an exotic island somewhere.

I wouldn't just limit it to that. I'd say why this forum has been so successful would be a combination of Satoshi being a fundamental part of the draw, even after he became inactive.
Satoshi might have something to do with it, but I don't think that him having been here is that big of a deal. New users who come and register on Bitcointalk mostly due so for two reasons:

  • They are looking for help and a Google search or friendly advice led them to Bitcointalk.
  • They are looking to profit from bounty/signature campaigns and heard they can do that here.

That's a good notification. Binance doesn't make claims they can't prove or verify. They are simply informing the customer that the buyer claims to have sent the payment. Before releasing the crypto, it's recommended the seller makes sure that he has received his money.

A bad notification would say that the payment has been sent by the buyer and the seller should release the coins as soon as possible. However, that is not the case here and Binance has done the job properly.

Can I post in non crypto related thread and still do well here?
You can post in non-crypto related discussions, but my question would be, why? Why would you come to a Bitcoin and crypto forum to discuss thinks that have nothing to do with digital coins and are off-topic? If your goal is to gain some knowledge about bitcoin, you can't achieve that by not reading and talking about it. But my impression is that by asking if you can "do well", you would like to know if you can increase your forum rank without knowing or learning anything about bitcoin. If that is the case, then no. You would have to be very lucky to "do well" here without having an interest in crypto. 

If I am wrong, and you indeed want to learn, I always suggest taking a look at an easy to understand video like this one:
What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin Explained Simply for Dummies
An introduction like the one written by Coinbureau is also a good starting point > https://www.coinbureau.com/education/what-is-bitcoin/.

I see there is a lot of currency there, do we get them when we use the faucet at the same time?
No, you don't get them all of them at the same time. I just tried it and I received 0.00000005 BTC after my first claim. After that, you have to wait 5 minutes before you can claim again. From what I can see, there is a total of 40 claims per day.

Their faucet works by moving a slider to the right and placing the marker over a coin. On my second claim, I was awarded 0.00000094 ETH.

I haven't used the Binance DEX so I am not sure about their notification system and what exactly it says.

@Oshosondy
You said that you received a notification from Binance in which it is said that the buyer claims to have send fiat to your bank account. I assume that is an automatic notification that gets sent to sellers as soon as the buyer marks the transaction as paid.

What exactly does the Binance notification say?
Are they just informing their clients that payment has been made, or do they advise them to manually check their bank accounts to ensure payment has been made before releasing their coins? If they aren't doing the latter, it's an inadequate way to notify users, which can, as we have seen, lead to the loss of coins for those who don't know how the system works, and it needs to be changed asap.

Could we see the notification message? Feel free to cover any private info that might be in it.

Ja sam opet negdje pročitao da se jako puno farmi seli u američku saveznu državu Teksas, navodno zbog vrlo jeftine struje  Grin
Ameri ih pokušavaju privući jednim uređenim sistemom i dobrim postrojenjima. Daju im sigurnost koju u Kini nisu imali i naravno jeftinu struju. Ali Kazakstan im je ipak bliži.

A prosječno vrijeme potvrde od 23 minute zaista nije dobro i neće baš puno pomoći u procesu prihvaćanja bitcoina, uz sve druge probleme poput velike votabilnosti bitcoina, problemi sa Binance...
To je sve posljedica značajno smanjenog hash rate-a nakon što su kinezima zabranili rudarenje. Ako je vjerovati BTC.com, onda je sljedeći difficulty adjustment za manje od 2 dana nakon čega će se difficulty smanjiti za 26%. Iskreno mislio sam da će biti i više od toga ali očito da su kinezi rudarili jedno vrijeme u trenutnom dificulty periodu prije nego im je isključena struja.

A možeš i ovdje pogledati kad je tačno koji blok izrudaren > https://mempool.space/blocks.

Kad je bitcoin volatilan, onda su i svi ostali altovi volatilni i čak volatilniji od bitcoina. Vrlo rijetko to nije slučaj. Desilo je se jučer ili prekjučer npr da je ETH skočio za oko 10% dok je bitcoin bio relativno miran, ali eto i to se polako vraća na prethodno stanje.

So for me the faucet is only used for trial adoption and they can start with a faucet claim so it can't be multiplied or withdrawn even I am very unlikely to have someone who can multiply the faucet to be greater than the gambling results.
I recently performed an experiment in which I wanted to claim faucets, then use those winnings to make multiple other bets on casino games and sports that would ultimately allow me to step over the minimum withdrawal threshold to withdraw the money. I wanted to see if it's doable and how easy it could be. It went OK for a little while, and I managed to earn around $30-40. However, I lost it all and concluded that it takes a lot of guts, luck, and patience to do it successfully.

It's a pity that some people are trying to find an evil intent in this whole discussion.
I have a feeling like you are taking it personally. You shouldn't. It's nothing against you. People have evil intentions and will look to exploit every little thing that can be exploited. One should never generalize because not everyone is that same, but imagine you posted your private key in a public post by mistake instead of your address. What do you think how many people would try to sweep the funds and steal them, and how many people would make you aware of your mistake and ask you to correct it or send the coins to an address under their control and ask you how to return it to you? I think 2 or 3 out of 10 would do the right thing, the others wouldn't. Money corrupts people. Undecided   
9092  Other / Meta / Re: Attention Theymos: This is a sMerit holdup! Hands in the air! on: June 30, 2021, 10:14:09 AM
I've backed away because I don't feel that many of my topics reflect board opinion. Certainly this is true of my opinions of the current artificial pandemic. I'm surprised that a community of educated and intelligent people is failing to recognise the patterns in medical and government behaviour, and fails to question issues such as the testing cycle differences between pre-vaccinated and post-vaccinated people.
You mentioned something similar in a different thread and I failed to understand why the pandemic bothers you so much that you don't want to participate in a bitcoin forum because of it. I still do. If you said I don't post as much because I don't like the white and blue background on the forum, that would make more sense to me. Grin

I never visit the political discussions because most of it is off-topic to me. I care as much about what people on a bitcoin forum think of COVID as I care about the type of sneakers they are wearing - not at all. But I am interested in hearing if you don't believe there is a virus at all or you just believe it didn't occur naturally but was released intentionally as a biological weapon and a way for governments to achieve absolute control?

I confirm that i got the donation , but i will donate the half or the whole amount to an charity project .
So if anybody know a good charity project let me know it please.
When I got accepted in ChipMixer I asked the same question because I wanted to donate my first week's signature payment to a good cause. I got some decent responses in my thread Offering my avatar space for FREE and donating my 1st-week signature earnings

There are several projects operated by Bitcointalk members, like Royse777's Project Covid - 19 or the Bitcointalk Charity Program by cabalism13. Have a look, it might help you further. I remember seeing a donation fund by someone who wanted to build rice farms in Vietnam if I a not mistaken. I tried to look for it, but I wasn't able to find the thread.

What I would like to see is a bigger comment box and not just one line to enter your text in. My guess is that this is something that could easily be fixed (maybe?). Sometimes when you report a post, and your report includes several sentences that instruct the mod to take a look at a users' post history and you add links and mention which exact rules were broken, the report becomes quite long. It's hard to read when you have to move from left to right and it would be much clearer seeing it all in a bigger comment box.

Što se boldanog tiče, dok god postoji i teoretska mogućnost za tako nešto, nije ni BTC mreža pretjerano sigurna.
Teoretska mogućnost da se tako nešto uradi postoji ali to je jedna vrlo skupa operacija i neisplativa. Mreža je sigurna koliko oni koji je održavaju vode računa o svojim postupcima i o tome koliko će to uticati na buduću vrijednost a i povjerenje ljudi u taj Bitcoin. Mislim da je dosad bilo bezbroj prilika da se takav jedan roll-back uradi ili pokuša jer je stotine miliona dolara izgubljeno u različitim napadima, prevarama sa mjenačnicama, zagubljenim ključevima, itd. Srećom nije nikad urađeno.   
9096  Local / Altcoins (Hrvatski) / Re: Budućnost Ethereuma i ostalih altcoina on: June 29, 2021, 07:22:56 PM
...i da je najveci problem BTC-a upravo onaj koji BTC maksiji izdvajaju kao osnovnu prednost, a to je zatvorenost ka promenama i inovacijama, dok je Ethereum otvoren za inovacije i to mu je osnovna prednost...
Bitcoinisti nisu zatvoreni za promjene i inovacije, oni samo neće da razmatraju bilo šta što ima ili može da ima negativan uticaj na sigurnost Bitcoin mreže, i njenu decentraliziranost. SegWit je inovacija koja je prihvaćena. Taproot i Schnoor signatures su prihvaćeni, tj 90% mreže signalizuje spremnost da ih prhvati i mogli bi bit predstavljeni u novembru. Lightning Mreža je prihvaćena i koristi se.   

Dosta ljudi se npr žali na Bitcoinov POW model i na to kako je štetan za okolinu, skup, kako mining postrojenja koriste fosilna goriva itd. Ali to mreži garantuje sigurnost, veću nego s čim se može neki drugi blockchain pohvaliti. Ne vjerujem da će se ikad odustati od POW-a osim ako ne postane ključno za budućnost i preživljavanje Bitcoina.

Apsolutno nemam ništa protiv Ethereuma a i sam ga imam. Ali kod Ethereuma je kod bio zakon do onog trenutka dok Ethereum Fondacija nije izgubila preveliki novac pa odjednom kod više nije zakon. Tako je onda i nastao Ethereum Classic. Bitcoinisti nisu radili takve stvari. Prije par sedmica je negdje pisano o tome kako je CZ (vlasnik Binance-a) nudio ogroman novac velikim Bitcoin pool-ovima da urade roll-back i na taj način ponište blok i blokove u kojima je Binance hakiran i gdje su izgubili par miliona dolara. Ljudi ga odbili. Ta nagrada nije vrijedna šteti koja bi bila nanesena mreži. Ethereum nije položio taj ispit.

Community must decide who will be encouraged - not me or any other particular user.
That will become a popularity contest where the most popular become even more popular. If you introduce a voting system, we can already predict the possible winners or some of those who will be in the top 5.  You are looking at one of the most merited and most frequent posters earning most of the votes. It's like when a famous singer or movie star walks into a shop. They close the shop down so he can shop freely and he gets everything he likes for free. His rich ass doesn't have to pay for it.   

Or, you will witness another phenomenon where the biggest local forums will vote for a member from their own local. Battle of nations.

In my last reply I already posted that this riddle was solved by KingsDen who made a few posts just above yours. There is no need to repeat the answers already provided unless you are bringing something new to the conversation that wasn't already said in the thread. Feel free to keep an eye on this topic and try to solve one of the upcoming riddles once they become available.

NeuroticFish touched on the subject briefly, but I think we aren't giving enough credit to the members who spend every day browsing various threads and helping users who made mistakes or are in doubt about anything bitcoin. The sheer amount of knowledge and experience those people have is amazing and a pleasure to read. I often find myself thinking, how could they have possibly acquired all this knowledge and how long did it take? So if you ask me what is the heart of this community, I'll tell you it's the fact that you can get professional help and advice from patient individuals who will take on anything thrown at them, and most of the times, they'll find a solution. And it's free.

I think that our discussion here brings us to a logical conclusion to create the donation fund for active community members, and not for the moderators. Any further thoughts on this?
That is weird as well. Members on Bitcointalk who want to can participate in signature campaigns and be paid for positing and being active on the forum. I think that is more than enough. And that is more than what many other forums and online communities offer. All members who have a decent knowledge about crypto and can express themselves in a professional manner wont have much trouble getting into a campaign if they wanted to.

The coins they get from their signature campaigns are one part of the reward structure. The other part are the merits they get rewarded when someone appreciates their posting efforts.
