do you parse as a user, or as the anonymous public? The public cannot see all forums. I use both: for my posts archive, I'm anonymous. That way I don't scrape hidden boards (Investigations). To see Trust scores, I have to login first.

My logic is that 1. We will see a drop in the hash rate once the halving occurs due to mining being unprofitable for inefficient miners, this will lead to longer block times until the difficulty is adjusted 4 days later. Longer block times means people paying higher fees to get into the next block. Miners must have already calculated in the drop in block reward. Some of them may turn off their older hardware at that point, but I don't expect a significant impact. Besides, it's less than 50% they're "losing". Earlier drops in Bitcoin price (around 80%) had a much larger effect on their earnings. Blocks will be fine.

Everyone trusts hardware wallets to secure cryptocurrencies, but how can the authenticity of a hardware wallet be verified so that it has not been tampered with or compromised during production or distribution? That's a tough one ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) It's recommended to only buy hardware wallets directly from the manufacturer (and never from third parties). After that, you can follow the authentication process on their website. But indeed, it's one of the things I never feel 100.0000000% sure about. It's too much of a black box. Which one do you recommend hardware wallet or air gapped wallet? It depends on your usage, and skills. You could go extreme and setup an air gapped hardware wallet, with a seed created from dice rolls. But for the average user, usually a hardware wallet is the safest compromise. Unless they enter their seed words on a recovery phishing website, there's no protection against that. A hardware wallet is a lot more convenient to use than an air gapped system. You don't have to limit yourself to just one wallet.

it should only be done if internet costs make it somehow prohibitive for you to run a full node locally even if you are otherwise able to buy all the necessary hardware. There's no need to download the blockchain, so there's no reason to ever upload your wallet to any server.
|

You can rent a dedicated server from Contabo or some other provider with at least a 700GB harddisk for a month and then sync Bitcoin Core on that. Or, you can simply use a VPS in pruning mode to save costs, and then upgrade the RAM to something like 16GB and set the dbcache accordingly so that the initial block download can go extremely fast, as in finishing in hours. I wouldn't upload my wallet.dat to a server. It increases the risk.

We don't know the purpose of this transaction and I would've done a lot different already upfront. Everyone has the freedom to turn his coins into transaction fees. Is it wise? I don't think so. My first assumption was that it's someone who doesn't know what he's doing. It happens: someone has been collecting dust inputs for years, and when he finally decides to spend it, his wallet automatically decides to add a very large transaction fee. However, in this case, I checked some of the inputs, and all of them were funded earlier this month. It makes me curious why someone would waste so much money this way.

I am about to do an IBD and i have assumevalid=(Latest block). i understand some of the risks involved with this, regarding being feed a false history etc: How does this work? Will it skip downloading all blocks and only take the latest one? Where are you going to get your chainstate? But if i don't plan to use the node to validate transactions for a long time 6 month min then i am assuming that my node will eventually check all blocks thoroughly and so its fine. Bitcoin Core doesn't check blocks again. It doesn't need to, because it assumes they're valid on disk. Why not do a normal block download? That's the safest way, and since you have 6 months to do so, the sync time shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

Bitcoin Core requires just 2 GB of RAM Syncing the blockchain will take a very long time with so little memory. The problem here that I dont even have 20 gigabytes free and the internet bad and still limited so If i spent money for getting another space and also for many times renew the internet quota it will be waste of money espicially that I dont know if there's a money or not (if I 100% know there is a money on it I'll spent the money ) You can just export the private keys from Bitcoin Core, you don't need to sync the blockchain for that. Import them into Electrum, and see what you have. Or did you buy/download this "wallet.dat"? Your story doesn't make much sense.

Here's a good example of how not to consolidate your small inputs: 217 inputs, 21 outputs, 0.07247704 BTC sent in total, and 0.04420628 BTC paid in fees. Some of the inputs are literally worth less than the fee paid to include them.

It's probably for the same reason you still see a Merit button when you've reached your maximum for that user, or when you're out of sMerit: it's not worth the effort to remove all exceptions.

This *inbound* thing is exasperating. How can you prevent this from happening before doing the actual transaction? There are ways to increase inbound capacity, but that fits better in The Lightning Network FAQ.

The top 4 pools as we speak mine about 75% of the blocks. This means that even if 4 pools started censoring transactions based on federal orders, there would still be 1 in 4 blocks that would ignore all the censorship bullshit. What happens when they decide to ignore any block containing a blacklisted transaction? ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) Realistically, I think it will lead to a chain reorg and the block disappearing again. Ideally, it should lead to a Fork, in which the majority of Bitcoin users chooses the chain without censorship as the real one. the new law is different.
if I mine 10k and take it from say viabtc on may 1st I have two weeks to file a special form. or a felony and s committed. What if you solo mine a block? Are you supposed to declare who paid you $400k? Would they want a name? too small to self mine and simply report kyc on me. Like: "I, philipma1957, created this money out of thin air"? Weird laws!

Yes, I thought so too but you are the first person who answers in more than 12 hours. It looks like you were refunded.
We use:
- our on-site support ticketing system - email (both with and without PGP) - SimpleX
For fast and secure assistance please use our ticketing system as it's monitored and attended by all of our team members. Your communications will be encrypted by our own TLS certificate on our HTTP server without any intermediary third-party servers (such as Cloudflare), since all the frontend servers belong fully to us and operate strictly on bare metal hardware that will be automatically considered compromised by a state-level attacker in case there is a single unexpected reboot to happen.
Email without PGP is also a fast option which is also attended by various people but less secure.
Email with PGP is a slower option, since the PGP key is only possessed by the core admin/founder.
SimpleX is only attended by the core admin who is not always online and doesn't have it installed on a mobile device (which might change later).

Could you please tell me something? It shows " General error (ERROR_SENDING)". My guess is the LN network couldn't find a route, or you may not have enough inbound capacity. You'll have to wait for support to respond.

DeFi was supposed to stand for "Decentralized Finance". If they can be shut down, they're not decentralized and don't deserve to use that name. You are missing the point. It doesn't matter if they call themselves they are decentralized or not and what they deserve. It can very easily happen that domains (and everything else recognized as their resource) are seized, which will put them in the same group as mixers. I'm kinda expecting the long-term result to be more real decentralization. BitTorrent magnet links for instance don't rely on a single domain name.Mining is also supposed to be decentralized and yet, we see people closing down their farms... Decentralized means it keeps working after someone shuts down their farm.

Do we know since when wallet file use Berkeley DB? I recall very early version of Bitcoin Core have almost no external dependency. I can't tell you that. But it will make it easy to rule out most files. OP's "backup" looks weird: random file names look as if it came from file recovery instead of a backup.

You’re probably wondering why this is in Meta. There are some that feel bitcointalk.org is a social media site, and some categorize it entirely otherwise. It's a lot of blabla about a rich guy who wants more money. Does bitcointalk.org need or gain any use of adding a feature that lets a user create a bitcoin wallet that would serve the following purposes No. Not your keys, you know the drill. "The forum" doesn't want to hold user funds, and I don't want "the forum" to hold my money.

I suggest that Bitcointalk ban all Defi platforms as soon as possible, and wordfilter their domains, why wait for a verdict and risk the forum being identified as a place where such services are desirable? DeFi was supposed to stand for "Decentralized Finance". If they can be shut down, they're not decentralized and don't deserve to use that name.
