While we are at the topic of plagiarism..im a bit curious what kind of tool/website do you guys use to detect it ?
I think you should ask lovesmayfamilis and loyceV to explain to you how to carry on a plagarism test to any account
I usually just Google it:
One way to search for plagiarism is to run a part of the text through Google search engine for matches. You can customize your search by adding quotes to the text
Plagiarism is often quite obvious: if a bounty spammer suddenly created a long post, that's a red flag. Or if someone earned all his Merit only from one post.
Sometimes it's easy to detect, but when they use a word spinner it becomes much more difficult (and more satisfying to catch them).

Something else (re)occurred to me: let's say government wants to use Bitcoin, and let's say Central Banks get involved. What's stopping a large government to create 100 million Bitcoin in debt? They first abandoned the gold standard and then abandoned paper money. They don't even bother printing the banknotes anymore.
So if they start using Bitcoin, they'll create their own internal accounting system, and there's nothing stopping them from turning it into fractional reserve Bitcoin. No more on-chain settlements, no more physical ownership, it will just be like "paper gold". And in a way it's started already (by private corporations): "Wrapped Bitcoin" has nothing to do with Bitcoin, and yet people use it. It's not that hard to imagine they'll sell more Wrapped Bitcoin than the Bitcoin they hold, just like Tether sells more than the dollars they own.
The current government debts will never be paid back, and as long as they do the same with their 100 million "Bitcoin" debt, most people will just accept it.

http://de.schildbach.wallet/ ? Never heard of it and it won't load either. If this wallet does not allow you to set custom fees I would suggest switching.
It's Bitcoin Wallet on Android. This was the first mobile wallet I used 6.5 years ago.

I can't understand if you disagree with me
We agree.

Let's put it this way: If you have $100 and I have a $100 bill printer, who do you think is going to get hungry when a bread costs $200?
Fiat is based on eternal debt, and I don't like it.
9425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending amounts > in wallet empties wallet on: November 23, 2021, 04:45:22 PM
Did I not mention that "I sent" in my first post. Your answer to your question has already been stated dude.
No need for the attitude dude. Your story isn't very clear. The transaction only shows one output, while you said:
Quote
the balance of my wallet is emptied out in to another wallet
What's the txid for that last transaction?
9426  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending amounts > in wallet empties wallet on: November 23, 2021, 04:19:00 PM
Did you make this transaction? If so: the entire balance of the address was used (and the transaction fee was much higher than needed). There is no change in this transaction.
If you didn't make this transaction, your wallet may be compromised.
9427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if the US Govt. buys circulating Bitcoin Supply and $ is backed by $BTC ? on: November 23, 2021, 03:54:48 PM
Do you know what's the beauty of fiat money printing? Value doesn't come from a printer (unless you're selling books), so no matter how much they print, the total value can't go up!
And do you know what's the tricky part of fiat money? That what you said is an illusion in the short term.
I forgot to add "" around "beauty".

Quote
Yes, in the long term you can't “print” value as the new money will enter the circulation and prices will rise due to supply & demand, but until they enter the market (which is the short term), they are regular, non-changed-in-value money. So, if they printed/added another billion dollars in their bank balance, they could accumulate more BTC which would obviously rise the price.
Money printing is basically transfering purchasing power from anyone to the guy controlling the printer. Why would anyone work for $8 per hour if someone else can just create ten billion times that amount by pressing a button?
9428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Sending amounts > in wallet empties wallet on: November 23, 2021, 03:24:53 PM
I assume you mean the change is send to a new address in the same wallet. That's normal, it's the way Bitcoin works.
Think of it as having a $100 bill, paying someone $50, and getting $50 back in return. Bitcoin is, after all, designed as electronic cash.

Unless you mean something else, in that case please start by naming the wallet, and if possible show the txid (transaction ID).
9429  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] JoinMix.io - Coinjoin your bitcoin on: November 23, 2021, 02:53:30 PM
Some benefits over Wasabi:
  • No "change" coins leftover.
If I send you exactly 0.001BTC, then the coinjoin transaction indeed has no "change". But my deposit transaction has change, so it just moves it to an earlier transaction compared to using Wasabi Wallet.

There's a much bigger shortcoming: the user has to trust you, while Wasabi Wallet is trustless:
Do I need to trust Wasabi with my coins?

No, Wasabi's coinjoin implementation is trustless by design. The participants do not need to trust each other or any third party. Both the sending address (the coinjoin input) and the receiving address (the coinjoin output) are controlled by your own private keys. Wasabi merely coordinates the process of combining the inputs of the participants into one single transaction, but the wallet can neither steal your coins, nor figure out which outputs belong to which inputs.
You're asking several people to trust you with up to 1 Bitcoin (and maybe 5 or 10 Bitcoin in the future). With a minimum of 5 users, you'll be trusted with enough money to buy a house in most countries. What's stopping you from exit scamming at the earliest possibility?

Meme aside is it really possible to earn some Satoshis with couple of descent ASIC miner machines in the garage?
Only if you have really cheap electricity.
9431  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador’s Bitcoin city - So what are your thoughts about this one? on: November 23, 2021, 12:30:36 PM
The city will be funded with the issuance of a $1 billion Bitcoin Bond....  Shocked
One billion dollars isn't that much, here it's barely enough to pay for a small new highway.

A city like this can be a Bitcoiner's dream come true, with all the countries banning Bitcoin and/or taxing it to death!
I kinda expect a worse death from a $5 wrench attack. That's not my dream, the country isn't safe, and "not paying taxes" doesn't sound sustainable.
Don't get me wrong, I hate taxes as much as anyone else, and I'd love to pay 50% less, but 10% VAT isn't going to be enough to support a safe and nice society.

Who is Hillary Clinton that anyone in the world needs to worry about what she thinks?
As somebody very well said, it's a person who can't even get her e-mails right.
I'm not particularly concerned about the opinion of a rich granny. I'm pretty sure my interests aren't in line with hers.
I'm just glad she never got access to nukes.

My point is we could see major Govt. could rush in and buy as much BTC as possible if it becomes mainstream.
Do you know what's the "beauty" of fiat money printing? Value doesn't come from a printer (unless you're selling books), so no matter how much they print, the total value can't go up! They can print as much as they want, and it will only inflate away people's savings while Bitcoin gets more expensive (in dollars).
9433  Other / Meta / Re: Encouraging existing bitcointalk users to being more users to this forum on: November 23, 2021, 12:18:36 PM
The only people I suspect invite their friends (and family, too) to register on bitcointalk are those who want to use it as a place of employment, and that's exactly what we need less of.
I've never discussed Bitcointalk with anyone IRL (except for my wife, no secrets there). For privacy, I wouldn't like it if someone can link my online identity to meatspace, and the best way to do that is not to talk about it.

I'm still waiting for my reporter badge, and my next Rank ("Legend") for 2000+ Activity/Merit. Maybe when hell freezes over, right after KYC and the new forum software.
9434  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: November 23, 2021, 12:07:43 PM
+1 recommendation for FixedFloat; also suited for e.g. cashing out on an exchange with lower fees (in fiat terms) than cashing out BTC; withdraw cheapo coin to FixedFloat and instant swap it to on-chain or Lightning Bitcoin.
That's my preferred route indeed: withdrawing small amounts straight to LN. $30 withdrawal fees are so anti Bitcoin.

Quote
I should definitely try CoinPlaza for larger amounts. Lower fees are always appreciated!
Both exchangers have their pros and cons, switching sometimes gets a better deal. BestChange.com gives many more exchangers.
Note that I wouldn't trust them with any substantial amounts.
9435  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: can someone help me check and get the private key working. on: November 22, 2021, 09:32:54 PM
transactions on the blockchain in the past often show an approximation
Blockchains don't approximate. That's not how a blockchain works.
9436  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: can someone help me check and get the private key working. on: November 22, 2021, 09:28:52 PM
hi all, i have a wallet created like a paper wallet, by my birthday date and enough 64 character numbers to get the address and private key
Do you mean you created a brain wallet?

Quote
i have a transaction that received bitcoin on july 30, 2015 or 2016 but i don't save the txid.
How do you "have" a transaction without txid?

Quote
i selected 1 of 3 addresses with private key and saved that year.

it starts from previous birthday, last month and previous year.
I'm still unsure how Bitcoin has to do with your birthday.

I checked again and there is no transaction history.
Confirmed.

Can someone help me? I don't know what to do, because it's a great asset.
If you made a brain wallet, it sounds like you made a mistake trying to restore it. What software did you use for this 6 years ago?

I never get that: if you didn't sell at $69k, why would you sell when it is $56k?

He took a picture of the public address so it could be scanned. What's wrong with that?
This doesn't prove the address was created by the Ledger. Without verifying the device itself, this address could have been created by malicious software.

Quote
The fact that he took a picture has absolutelly nothing to with it
You said it proves the address came from the Ledger:
the address IS created by his Ledger as you can see here: https://imgur.com/hxhaAfJ

Is Curacao still connected with Netherlands and in what way? They have same or different passports and citizenship?

I think that I saw they are part of Kingdom of the Netherlands along with Aruba and Sint Maarten, so I don't know if they have different laws related with Bitcoin and gambling.
They're part of the Kingdom, but considering so many casinos use them as their "home country", I'm pretty sure they must have different gambling laws. I don't know the details though, those islands aren't really something the average citizen here knows other than for a sunny vacation.

PS: This was not a copy/paste virus or anything like that, he took a picture of the address when he created it and the address IS created by his Ledger as you can see here: https://imgur.com/hxhaAfJ
Where's the Ledger on that picture? It looks like a picture of a computer screen, while the whole point of using a hardware wallet is to verify the address on the hardware wallet. Anything else that happens on your computer shouldn't be trusted.
