It's a big fuss about a feature that's not really special, other companies also have for transferring money between their own customers.
One example that comes into my mind is Revolut, where you can transfer to a phone number (may be considered less private, but it's the same thing).
The catch is that both sender and receiver have to be customers of that company since the transaction is off-chain.

Each deposit is "separate" even in the same address! They're called inputs.
When you make a transaction, that's built from one or multiple inputs. And if on input has to be "broken" in order to obtain the correct amount, the transaction will also create an output towards an address of yours. That's called "change" (it's the same concept like you have more banknotes, just they are most probably of different sizes)
However, you just type in the recipient, the amount you want to send and maybe the fee too and the wallet will do these operations for you.



Exchanges have one or more deposit addresses for an user (especially if he clicks on "change my address").
The money those addresses receive become numbers in a database.
All the trades are really operations on those numbers in exchange's internal database (for various coins/currencies/users).
When an user withdraws, the amount is subtracted from the internal database and it's sent to the address the user wants to withdraw to. The funds are sent from the exchange's wallet and it may be from any of users' deposit addresses or not, depending on how their software is made.

It's actually more complicated since the cold wallet also may come into equation and also they may consolidate their inputs from time to time (send money to themselves to not have too many inputs; this helps on reducing the tx fees)

I've also merited some of the topics/posts from the list I've found very interesting.

I find the start of the tutorial unnecessary and OS dependent (Windows)
Tails page already has step-by-step tutorials for the major operating systems one wants to install from: https://tails.boum.org/install/index.en.html

Probably this won't change the table, but right now Matrixport.com has one open slot.


Edit: it still writes "open", but the one member was accepted

Congrats! You also have an impressive number of posts, and since I know that you make quality posts, the other stats are not a surprise.

One of the most common ways to promote your project is:
1. make an ANN so the people can discuss about it.
2. hire someone to make a set of signatures
3. hire someone to manage for you a signature campaign.

These should help:

Chrome has its own and it stores them encrypted with different password that the one for user profile.
But this doesn't matter. It was already said (I'll bold it and make it big) and it covers the story correctly:

The outbreak has caused a pump. Some traders know how to speculate emotions (fear) and some panicards were buying in. But no, that's not relevant.
On the long term, at least Bitcoin should rise. Maybe in March as some say, maybe after the halving as others say, maybe later. Patience is the key. And yes, this should rise the altcoins too.
The fact you expect miracles this year is not healthy.

I also expect some more price increase this year, but if it won't happen it's also fine.

Containing Covid-19 is difficult. Governments are not as capable as you'd think, people are more careless than you'd imagine and so on.
But Spring is near. From what I've read the temperatures over 25 C should be slowing/killing the virus.
Interesting enough, such temperatures may come when we'll be pretty close to the halving.

Such technique can be used if you want to have your text (or signature!) on that page.
I think that there was a campaign (signature or bounty) which was paying only the posts from the first page of a thread/topic.
But from what I see it's not the case - it's something on the .. 9th page. So it's some sort of spam that doesn't make sense to me.

Try to stay sober from time to time. Maybe you could get some sleep now, maybe you get a glimpse of reality when you wake up.

The portable version creates its data folder under the exe folder, not in %AppData%\Roaming\Electrum (where OP data is located).

You have put quite some effort into all that bullsh*t.
Of course, whoever reads only the title or the things you wrote without using their brain to read a tad more, they deserve their fate.
But for most it's just a wasted effort.

BTW, you sound so sure like you'd know the future, at least the lows. Can you tell us when will the new low happen so we buy only then?

Another idea could be that maybe some antivirus contained the installer.
In that case you should look for folders like c:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume* and what's inside them. There could be a copy of Program Files with everything "installed" there.

No. I'll tell you the real reason, but please only put this into newspapers if you mention my name.
It's because Trump was snoring last night.

If you have the seed (probably 24 words) you can access your funds with or without a new Ledger.
With a Ledger it's safer, but an Electrum can already do it.

I am not convinced why a country would mine crypto, especially Bitcoin.
For a country it can be way more profitable to invest big in some crypto and then play with the market. As a whale it can create quite some waves and profit from them.

A country banned from the international market may mine anonymous coins indeed. But buying the necessary amounts of hardware may not go unnoticed. So I'd stick to the whale idea.

No matter when a new project pops up, if you want to spend money investing in it, you have to do properly your homework, researching the background, the team, the long term viability of the project ...
If you invest without thinking you are not better than gambling.

Actually a small SSD would do.
It's enough to temporarily symlink the chainstate folder to the SSD until the first/big sync is done, then that data can be moved to the HDD too.
And that's only some 4GB now.

There's a high chance he didn't understand what happened (that he has received a Bitcoin wallet and 1BTC+ on it).
And the only chance I see for that Bitcoin to not get lost is if somebody will recover from thrash somewhere that phone and the wallet it contains.
