Bitcoin is almost useless for you? Why not tell your campaign manager not to pay you in bitcoin because it is not useful for you.

Altcoins are useful than bitcoin? Becuase the fall under DeFi, NFT, Web3, smart contract, dApps, tokens, instant payment/transactions, cheap ones? Are you serious. Most of what you listed are what scammers and hackers are using to make money and the recent advanced ponzi scheme are becuase of that

The only point you have is transaction fee. Then do not use bitcoin.

When it comes to utility, bitcoin is far useful. But when it comes to scam and hack, altcoins are mostly useful for scammers.

For fee, you can use lightning network.

Bitcoin is useful to the extent that you can use those altcoins, side chains instead. They are not bitcoin but they developers have bitcoin that they bought and pegged with it.

What about Ordinals and Inscriptions? They are also not done by bitcoin developers but that is part of the usefulness of bitcoin blockchain.

What I see about you is that you are not happy with how the transaction fee is, but bitcoin is far more useful for me. It also has the highest secure blockchain.

Bitcoin is accepted as a legal tender in El Salvador and CAR.

1 to 5 bets to be used to know how good someone is? That is not possible. Haven't you gambled before and win 5 consecutive times and then followed by losses?  I have gambled for a whole day before and I won all the matches I gambled with football live matches that day and it was a good day for me. I gambled with more than 20 matches that I won all that day. But losses follower the next day.

Have you used CBDC before for transaction and the cross border transaction is cheaper? Do not let us deceive ourselves. The government are the ones that is regulating both fiat and CBDCs, they control everything and they can make the fee cheap. I have not seen any CBD used for international transaction. Can you point to one?

In my country, I still have some banks that have 0 fee transactions for certain number of times daily or monthly but you have to pay fee for CBDC that my country created.

The only difference is that CBDCs use blockchain but fiat did not and nothing more. But they are all still fiat.

The government supposed to have improved their fiat but going for CBDC. I will never use it because it is fiat.

There is no secret about CBDCs, it is fiat. If you know how to use fiat already online, CBDCs is of no use to that kind of people. The government are only wasting money on CBDCs because they are not needed. I do not know if it is to trick people to believe that they are cryptocurrencies, but CBDCs are not cryptocurrencies.

This thread is about how to download Electrum and verify its PGP signature, it is not about connecting hardware wallet to Electrum secure or not. It would have been better if you create a new topic about anything that is not related to this thread.

As for your question, using hardware wallet with Electrum is safe. But you have to be careful about Ledger devices becuase they are one of the worst hardware wallets so far.

Maybe since 10 years ago is what you are referring to. Bank transaction for gambling site deposit takes less than 5 seconds. I can even say it takes just 1 second. The deposit are very fast. But maybe in your country, the fiat gambling sites have longer deposit time which is frustrating.

Since when bitcoin was created, one of the main area it is useful is on online gambling.

@digaran, let me advice you. If you continue like this, you will have more DT members giving you negative trust and it is not just helping your account if reputed members on this forum are giving you negative trust. I will advise you to just mind your own business and not thinking that DT members are bad.

My post is not exactly accurate and I have deleted it. But this is what I meant:

I am not referring to other posts but topics. You can delete you post immediately after you post it, but on some board like service board which I noticed, you will have to wait for 24 hours before you can delete your post there. But if it is a topic, you can not delete it.

That is even better but also not also good because hackers can use it to steal information if they have access to the browser. But the worst is that the password are also saved on an online cloud, just like if you are using an Android device, if you auto save or save a password on an app or any browser, it will also be saved on Google cloud.

For offline safety, I do not do mine like this. I just only put down the password. I do not include include email and any other thing. I mostly use not more than 5 emails and I use just two most of the time. And one email more frequently.

If moderator lock a topic, OP of the topic can not unclok the topic unless moderator unlock it again.

Even without any evidence, no moderator will lock the thread because of that reason. There are many lying posts that I have seen on this forum and non were locked becuase moderators also do not know if it is true or not.

Also from the thread, some people will learn from the thread as some people will explain why using cold wallet to store your coins is safer instead of hot using wallets.

I have heard about this few months ago and I can remember that we discussed about it on this forum at the time. Tether gold just few amount in bitcoin and hold most of its asset in treasury bonds.


The recent news about Tether is the bitcoin mining business that the company want to start with 500 million or something like that.

I lost in gambling than making money. If the total profit and loss should be calculated, I lost more. And it is not just that I lost more, I lose far more. You are not wrong, because wẹ are gambling or because we lose money, that does not means we should be lying to newbie gamblers for them to lose more before they realize. We do not say they should not gamble, but they should not gamble with the amount of money that they can not afford to lose and they should not see gambling in a way that making money is guaranteed, it is just a force sense of reasoning which they will start to realize after severe losses.

You can not delete your account, that is not possible on this forum, especially when you are not a reputed member that theymos can turn to anonymous which is the only thing that can be done.

But you can just forget about the account, forget the email used and the password and you will be good like your account as been deleted.

That is a huge amount of money and it might be good for him to track the coin. If the coin is sent to an exchange, it is possible that the hacker can be known. But hackers are smart, it is possible that the hacker used a noncustodial wallet and he may also mix the coin before spending it. It is better to avoid hack than to be looking for solution which might be difficult and expensive to get or which might be impossible to get.

The mempool is not increasing or decreasing, it can only be congested or not congested which I think is what you are talking about. You can see how the mempool had over 289000 transactions some days ago and the fee was very high, unlike now that it has over 212000 transactions that the fee is lower but not that low. As more transactions are not confirmed but remain in mempool is the congestion that I am talking about.

It is high in amount to some people, but not high in amount to some people. There will be a time the mempool will become less congested and lower fee is going to be used again for making transaction. But if you do not want to be making use of high fee, you can use lightning network. You can have small amount of money on lightning network account. If you are not technical enough to use lightning network on noncustodial wallet or having your own channel, you can use the custodial lightning network which is easy and you can just use it with small amount of money.

The thing is that the forum can make use of tools that can recognize and link ban evaders to their previous accounts. This can be done with some tools that can know the exact device and the IP address used and be used to link the accounts together. But the forum is doing nothing about it just as you said. This is just one of the things which this forum only take lightly which is good like that, unless another user is able to link the accounts and report it for ban evasion.

Just like this:

You are Hewlet

I will say it may be a coincidence, but there are also bad gambling news on the media. If you read news very well, you will read about the bad sides too. There are some that were taken to this forum and there were some I have read on the news. This year, I have read a student in my country that killed himself because he used his school fee money to gamble and lose. I do not think this was more 5 months ago.

There are some people that were living a good and comfortable life before, but gambling changed it and they regret. It is important not to take the wrong step while gambling, we should just gamble with the amount of money that we can afford to lose and also not believing in all these spirituality that can cause us more harm than good.

If you are gambling online, this may not help the socialization, but it will be good for land based gamblers to socialize. I can be gambling and my co-workers to be gambling but of which we may not really get close because of that if it is online gambling. I may not even bother to let anyone know that I am gambling. There are also other things that can bring socialization that are not gambling related.
