They are not BTC, they're testnet-coins. Exactly. There is nothing to recover here. You can just play around with this high amount test net btc, but they are worthless.
Just a quick guess, has somebody sold you a bunch of "BTC" for cheap, but somehow convinced you to use a client in testnet-mode sometime in the past?
If so, you might have been the victim of a SCAM.
Most probably a scam. Please give us more information so the user who sold this coins to you will be properly tagged and we can open an scam accusation against him (or his website) so he doesn't scam anyone else so easily (at least here in this forum) |

Ok so we have everything we need to launch the marketing campaign for ProxiAir ( https://proxiair.com) Need to find a useful way of keeping my audience updated on our campaign. Curt If you plan you making any kind of bounty or campaign here in bitcointalk forum, I highly suggest that you hire a respected manager in our community. Someone that our community trust and that hire also respected members. This way your company won't be associated with scammers and spammer (like most companies who try to advertise here). |

And im not really looking to pay someone to choose stocks for me, I like to do the research myself and look for them but I tought people on here maybe would have some experience and could help.
Buying stock through funds is a lot safer (for dozens of reasons: they know CEOs, CTOs, they have a team of people researching about where to invest, etc etc). As you said, you never bought any and you clearly don't know a lot about them, so it would be like gambling in the beginning. You can pay like 0,5% or even less (like 0,005%) to have professionals managing your money for you. Personally, I don't focus on dividends and neither care about them, but there are many good funds which are focused on good companies which pay dividends. Everything depends on where you live, because some places really have problems in the financial market. But if you live in a rich country you are fine. Vanguard would be may personal choice if I lived in a decent country, and they have low cost funds with very good returns. |

Hello, This is an amazing project, I really like it. I am glad the website is back. Congrats. I noticed a few small glitches. I don't know if anyone noticed them yet, but I am pointing them out... Even though I have a green trust, it still shows as 0-0-0 in BPIP. I noticed that in this page my total activity is also different from the profile in bpip (518 against 714). Those problems may be affecting more users. I can't see DT2 in my profile as well, but I saw in some other users. |

Shouldn’t they give you the option to not accept the new T&C, close your account and give your coins back? I don’t think they have any legal grounds to make you accept it or lose your money.
You are correct and your line of thinking makes sense. But probably in the old T&C, which he agreed, gave the exchange the power to changes terms at any time and to hold his coins... Anyway, another perfect reason on why you shouldn't unnecessarily leave funds on custodial platforms.
Certainly. When you leave money in custodial services you may not only lose it if the custodial services disappear, but also have your account frozen for many reasons. Authorities may decide to investigate the custodial service and frozen funds. Authorities or exchange may decide your account is "suspicious" until you do KYC. Or the terms may change, just like in the OP's case. Ideally nobody should hold any funds in custodial services, only when you need to buy/sell, and immediately remove them after you complete your transaction. |

0 trading fees are not sustainable.
I prefer to pay a reasonable price and have a good service, like Binance.
If they are charging 0 on fees, they are probably going to offer a bad service soon.
I really hate withdrawal fees, which are usually very expensive for BTC. I wish there was an option to use 1 sat/byte transaction even if it too 2-3 days to complete in those exchanges....

You shouldn't be asking random strangers in the internet which stick to buy.
There is plenty good materials in the internet about how to analyze stocks in your own and choose the ones that fit your needs and investing style. There are also funds of stocks focused in dividends, where you pay professionals to choose the stocks for you.

Unless the user really need to make fiat transactions to your exchange, there is no reason to do kyc (as anyone can make kyc free trades in binance)
So, there is only one good reason to trust my documents to someone.
Even though you are licensed now in Estonia, you can move to another country later which may be not regulated by gdpr compliance (and our documents would be at risk).
Only time will make people trust your exchange

in contrast, it would be virtually impossible to impersonate vitalik buterin. the trade-off for ethereum is they forever have a "benevolent dictator". that trade-off isn't worth it IMO.
This is one of the things I find most amazing about bitcoin: The creator is totally anonymous. Unlike Vitalik's Blockchain, where he is alive giving opinions and acting like a central planner, bitcoin is growing wildly without any central planner. If satoshi was a real person, everything would be centralized on him. |

Welcome back nullius.
What I find ridiculous about all those fake satoshis is that they never prove to be him
And it could be so easy.
Satoshi had many known public addresses. Until someone just sign a message from one of those addresses, I.e. providing a cryptographic proof to be satoshi, they are just fake.
Calling them liars out loud isn't just like "feeding the troll"? I don't get how Craig got so much attention, he even created the "real bitcoin cash". Lol

Yet cryptocurrency builders are facing traditional monopoly problems on the other side of the Google marketplace (Google and Facebook captured 63% of online ad spending in 2017 per a Wharton study) that do conform more closely to traditional anti-trust principles, facing elevated pricing on ads and pricing discrimination or even exclusion of service because there quite simply aren’t very many providers, if any, that can provide the services Google can with advertising beyond Facebook. If the two coordinate to discriminate against a certain product category, that product category already faces headwinds to succeed. This may not be as politically fraught territory as lowering prices for the average American — but it can be a duopolistic and now anti-cryptocurrency element worth exploring. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rogerhuang/2020/12/31/googles-censorship-of-cryptocurrencies-goes-way-beyond-youtube/.... [/quote] What is interesting is that brave (and therefore cryptocurrencies) is competing to google in both browser and in the advertising industry . Brave is for now still an unknown browser, used only by cryptocurrency enthusiasts. But the idea is disruptive.a Google may see bitcoin as a threat as well. Yesterday I saw a restaurant which accepted payments using Google pay. If the owner only knew that bitcoin is so much better. The problem is the lack of regulations which is allowing google to do whatever it wants. |

I'm not a developer myself, so would have to hire one. I guess my concern was twofold:
1) The ability for a developer to act malicious and somehow put a backdoor in my app? Which seems unlikely if open source software is used?
2) The expense of developing & branding the actual open source within your own app. I'll be adding additional features, but that's the more straight forward part. So I guess it's not too difficult an undertaking in that case - to develop an open source non custodial wallet within your own app?
I am not a developer neither. But I think your idea is pretty simple to do. As long as you don't hold users private keys it is a non custodial wallet. Adding new features is not big deal, depending on the features ofc. Many multicurrency wallets like coinomi and atomic wallet offers a few services like an integrated exchange within the wallet. But those ones are closed source. |

Plus to have their cake and eat it too, they declare THEIR altcoin as the "real Bitcoin" because "Satoshi's Vision"/whitepaper.
That simply, doesn't how it works.
It got real crazy when bsv became the real bitcoin cash lol It is pitiful to see the state of our ecosystem. Too many scammers , just trying to make quick money from people who are not very informed about the subject. This whole fork drama is bad for bitcoin. But now both "real bitcoin" and "real bitcoin cash" look dead so we can move on. |

essa imagem ficou muito boa. Eu já conhecia essa ideia, a primeira vez q vi foi num post do Twitter em 2018. Infelizmente 2019 começou na mesma baixa de 2018 daí o gráfico não ficou tão bonito. Quanto ao tópico principal: Acredito que em breve o bifcoin irá realmente migrar para soluções de escalabilidade off Chain, como a lightning. Em breve estaremos tendo transações praticamente gratuitas e instantâneas off Chain. E quem quiser transacionar grandes quantias fara on chain mesmo pagando uns centavos e esperando 10min. Isso na verdade foi previsto até pelo hal finney bem nos primórdios do btc. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2500.msg34211#msg34211 |

Coin base is not a wallet. Their "wallet " is not a wallet but a custodial service. You don't have a seed for every user, but mostly a derivation path for every single user or something like that. It doesn't work like any other real wallet. You don't even have your private keys there. |

My question is building a non-custodial wallet using existing open source tech, how practical is this? I don't want to build a wallet from scratch if possible due to possible vulnerabilities etc, my budget is'nt big enough to make sure a custodian wallet is 100% air tight. So that's why I had the idea to build upon an existing widely used open source non - custodial wallet.
Technically custodial wallers are not wallets. All wallets should allow users to hold their private keys. A wallet is an interface that allows you to sign transactions with the private key, just that. Technically it is simple to use an open source wallet like electrum and modify its code for what you want. There are other good options like Samourai. Do you want to support more coins? If you do, you can't do that with open source wallets (I don't know a single multicurrency open source wallef) |

Realmente o que aconteceu tem nada a ver com a ledger
O cara escreveu a seed no computador, imprimiu usando o Wifi da impressora e baixou uma extensão maliciosa.
Se depois disso tdo ele ainda tiver algum saldo eu ficaria muito surpreso.

I don't think things will escalate to a world war now.
But, anyway, the tensions might be good for btc.
A neutral currency in a polarized world. Well, it certainly has a lot of potential and uses.
Big players might do business with btc instead of usd for example
