Check the mempool and see the fee rate that can make your transaction confirmed. Mempool is very congested, the fee rate is 98 sat/vbyte.
98 sat/vbyte! I hope all of you ordinals fans will burn in hell for this!  Yeah I know the miners are earning some extra buck but isn't it time to finally close this loophole, devs? Puuuleeeeeaaaaazzz! Or are we not getting enough freedom yet?  |

Looks pretty suspicious or a joke. Having a hard drive with 400 million dollars, instead of finding the best masters in reality, he goes to the forum to ask... Are you the author? gkelly 15Z5YJaaNSxeynvr6uW6jQZLwq3n1Hu6RX https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24346.0 Make a complete copy of the hard disk (image) and upload it here and we'll see what you can do Indeed, very suspicious. I've seen posts before by scammers trying to hack inactive wallets with huge amounts of BTC inside (probably owner died or missing). If you manage to persuade forum users to hack this wallet with huge balance which doesn't belong to you, you can afford a 100BTC bounty right? So anyone willing to help be aware.  |

Look at this Transaction[1]. It paid 15x more than it was necessary to get confirmation. It paid $38.77 in fees for transaction that worth $180. If you have a look at old transactions of this wallet, it was always paying optimal fees. I don't really know what happened there, while it paid 5x more than recommended, actually $10.56 was spent in fees while transacted amount was $1.41, check: Transaction[2]And here - Transaction[3], someone even paid 56x more. Is this done on purpose by some miners to increase the overall transaction fees and collect more fees? Edit: I had to open this thread on Bitcoin Technical Support board, sorry  . I guess the reason is time. Some need their transaction to process faster and they just click "Include in the next block" button in their wallet without checking the fee. And with the mempool we witness today that can get expensive. But then again, time is money and if you have to transfer funds today you don''t care how much you'll have to pay in fees. Ordinals: people are paying huge fees because of some assholes and their monkey pics.... |

The design is ok, I'd say 6 or 7. Domain name is 10, really nice one and probably costed you a fortune. Most headlines are from May 1st have you just launched it recently? Do you have a team or it's a one man show? Contents/news 7 out of 10. Do you use a bot/AI scraping news websites or you do it manually? Would be nice to introduce Opinions section and hire some reputable/popular Bitcoin bloggers to write for you. Just my 2c. |

Watching Swiatek v Alexandrova right now. Interesting match, this one. Swiatek took the first set relatively easy 6:4 and was ahead 5:2 in the second. Then something happened and she started losing game after game and got to 5:5. Swiatek took her serve 6:5 but Alexandrova won her's and took it to the tie break. She was leading 3:0 and finally managed to win it 7:3. Now can't wait for the deciding set - this will be entertaining!  |

I only know 3 of them Binance, Nicehash, and miningrigrentals are currently trusted sites who offer renting hashrate/Cloud mining.
Other sites are most likely scams and even they are trusted all sites that I mention above it is still risky to invest and rent some hash rate compared to buying your own miner.
IMO all cloud mining sites are scam. Either you get scammed right away or the "legitimate and trusted" sites come up with their rules making it impossible to earn anything by mining with them. So, in any case only the person/company owning the physical miners gets the money and "cloud miners" get scammed. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's the sad truth. |

Either your wallet was hacked or someone had access to your seed phrase.
Whatever happened, bitcoin transactions are irreversible and there's nothing you can do.
But how, I need to insert a password for each time I send? Itīs not like I have my seed phrase on my sticky notes, itīs not easily accessible, and it looks like this was sent automatically. It says "self-transfer" when I run a privacy analysis on blockstream.info Most probably, the hacker gained access to your wallet's seed phrase and he was able to create a new wallet using your seed and so he didn't need to enter your password to do that. Password is only necessary if your .dat file is stolen and the hacker has two options: steal your password or brute-force it. |

I apologize if this is a dumb question but the fact is that I don't know why.
My question is, why is Bitcoin market always affected by all economics news, example is the issues with US bank like the SVB. Thank you
This statement is not 100% correct. Strangely, during bullruns Bitcoin is mostly not affected by bullish news. On the other hand it's super sensitive to bearish news during bear times. Just an observation. |

I have been silently reading and watching people's post.. It's mostly filled with worries and lack of faith, bitcoin is here to exist and there are no alternatives. The technology has been recorded already so I don't think anything else would come break the efforts they puts in building bitcoin and blockchain Technology. It's just as computer is being built which includes;
1. The first Generation of computer which was built with a vacuum tubes ( At then I believe there were Thomas who didn't believe on that technology but today where are those people)? calm down bitcoin still have a long way to go..
2. The Second Generation of computer which is solely built with transistors or discrete transistors was then and upgrade of Vacuum tubes.( Yet there were Thomas that kept saying for how long will this last), I believe so..
3. Third Generation of computer was then an upgrade of second Gen, that is being built with Integrated Circuits which was far more better than 1 & 2 generation computer. So why killing your self just know bitcoin haven't reached up to 20 years or 30 years.
4. Fourth Generation which was then know for microprocessors also better than 1, 2, and 3.
5. Fifth was also the upgrade of 1 to 4 generations so it is to come till whatever generation to come..
Inclusion and summary, Why don't we have this mentality towards bitcoin and know its the latest Generation that has came to stay which through bitcoin we had a blockchain that featured all forms of technologies in the world, and yet you think one day bitcoin price will fail you? My dear this is No to my answer because those who witnessed those 1 to 3 Generations of computer aren't there again so in essence why not buy bitcoin and hold and think of 20 years to come and more, if only we can centered our heart with the progression of computer then we would patient enough not to talk about price of bitcoin at this present moments.
So please bring down your tension and feel free with bitcoin since there are more things to explore with this current Technology.
NB. Some of the information are being highlighted and source from google
So, you're trying to say that Bitcoin right now is not good enough and should be improved? IMO that's nonsense. Bitcoin can't be compared to PCs, it can be compared to gold. Gold hasn't experienced much change in it's history. It was born perfect, same with Bitcoin. Let's not over-complicate things. |

Usage of technology is appreciated, but replacing the technology with human beings is not that good. In my opinion human beings make mistakes and the decision of the player to challenge and get the correct result makes the game interesting. It also shows how high is the player and his concentration. Having technology instead will reduce errors and helps to avoid disappointment in match results, as we were able to see more matches turning in favour of the opponent after a wrong decision from referee.
But the big question is - has a match ever been wrongly decided on a wrong call by a line judge? I doubt it, especially in the modern era. TBH I think its nonsense, Its probably about cost saving in the end. The idea of it speeding up the game is also nonsense, there are other areas they could target to speed it up, take away the warm up after the coin toss for example. We have been warned about the implications of introducing AI, its going to replace peoples jobs, and really, do we actually need it? line judges are fairly accurate. Will top executive ATP positions be replaced by AI, surely their decisions can be made by machine? of course that wont happen first, its the lower levels of the ATP organisation to be affected first. Well, my daughter is a tennis player competing on junior tour atm and I can assure you that officiating is a disaster now! Most of the umpires and line judges are either old or blind and the best thing they can do is take the side of the player who makes the call. I realize that this technology is not coming to the junior tour anytime soon but at least at pro level we need this tech ASAP! Meanwhile in Madrid, Mirra Andreeva has breezed past Magda Linette in straight sets 6:3, 6:3 and will be facing Sabalenka herself in the next round. The Tigress had defeated Osorio previously 6-4, 7-5 and also progressed into the Round of 16. I won't be betting but I'll also won't be surprised if the Russian teen prodigy wins! Sabalenka conceded too many unforced errors in Madrid so far. |

You should probably change the title from [Apr 2023] Fees quite low! Use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs to something else before some poor sap decides to consolidate their inputs  . That poor sap will learn the cheapest lesson possible: don't act on headlines but actually read and understand before doing  If he learns this lesson here instead of in "invest your pension in cloud mining", I call that a win. It's rare for fees to go up in the weekend though. It looks like many people started consolidating after mempool was empty for the first time in months. In fact, I suspect mempool grows at the end of each month and today is the last day of the month. Maybe just a coincidence, but I send coins on 30th or 31th of each month on a regular basis and mempool is almost always congested. Need to check the graphs to make sure though. |

Is there a possibility of the Bitcoin community splitting and two different Bitcoins existing at the same time? I know how crazy the question sounds but it needed to be asked after reading this opinion piece 1.Think about it for a moment, the author argues that we are yet to see any evidence that Bitcoin comes to a unanimous agreement on improving the entire transaction capacity/payment system. According to them, because of the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin community there needs to be 95% consensus inorder to upgrade the protocol in any way. And it seems unachievable to have a consensus as everyone has their own opinion coupled with the fact that the Bitcoin community is so large.This situation could lead to a dilemma where we'd have to choose an improving system update, but if a decision is made without full consensus two different Bitcoins could exist at the same time. *Please note that this doesn't in any way reflect any opinion of mine. 1. https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-batsbzx-2016-30/batsbzx201630-1617162-136918.pdfI guess you were not into Bitcoin back in 2017 when some hard forks happened (most notable being BCH or Bitcoin Cash). So, it's not a crazy scenario, similar events already happened in Bitcoin history before and therefore there are multiple "Bitcoins" existing at the same time. |

World war 3 start about 2024-2025 safest locations during the the world war 3 Will be USA UK and some part of Europe Baltics Nation Will be safer then scandinavian Nations.
WW3 start automatically means the end of bull run of everything. Bitcoin is almost guaranteed to go well under $10k again. USA, UK and the Baltic States will in fact be the most certain targets of Russia's nukes so these locations are in fact least safe. And yes, almost forgot: WW3 is going to be a nuclear war so that will mean the end for our civilization. I guarantee you Bitcoin price will be the last thing you will be worried about. Bull run Will end year about 2026-2027 middle of the 2026 the start of the bear Market.
Can't happen, as the WW3 will be under way for 2-3 years already per your own prediction. It's unclear to me what your predictions are based on? Just purely SOME kind of predictions? Or you can see the future? Some kind of precognition? Please enlighten us. |

Fees are super high today. I've sent a tx with ~10sat/byte fee but had to bump it to ~80sat/byte eventually (about $10 for my amount/tx) absolutely highest fee I paid EVER! Just wondering what is the reason for this madness again? Ordinals?  |

I have been seeing the progress of cryptocurrency these past few years, and I've been thinking, will it definitely be a replacement for physical money and use crypto as a primary transactions in our everyday life?
FIAT money will eventually be replaced with digital FIAT. Bitcoin will be used like it's used today: investment, hedge, HODLing but on a much bigger scale, it will become more widespread imo. |

Can we make it little more fun with this, i will like to hear from us the place we are standing at in holding bitcoin in comparing to those having much investment in bitcoin otherwise called whales and other institutions or individuals having little portion of their bitcoin they are holding, because at the end of it all, everyone is a holder as long as you've invested. Here's the percentage of bitcoin holders and what you need to hold to be in each category belonging to bitcoin holders.  https://twitter.com/Vikingobitcoin9/status/1651922754554195969?t=1mFAzg2Hafpee2A2Adbkqw&s=19In my own case, i still finds myself below the last category which means am holding lesser than 0.135btc as at now, can we make it interactive by giving our own standing point as at now. But where are the whales? Anyway, I prefer not to answer for opsec reasons and I also recommend everyone to abstain from answering as it could be dangerous! Bad guys are out there hunting for your precious coins! |

This was supposed to happen but the timing is perfect. A few hours back Taiwan announced that it will allow traditional Banks to offer Bitcoin & Crypto trading services. A month back they had announced that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency regulation are on the way. But why so fast? I mean, what was the hurry? Is it because HK announced a few days back that their largest bank plans to extend its service to crypto? Or it is a competition between China & Taiwan as to who gets a major chunk of the crypto business. Whatever is the reason? I feel that this news should bring a lot of cheer to the market. Why? As another country joins the list that accepts Bitcoin & cryptocurrency as an entity and wants it to thrive. What do you guys think? I wonder why people are always unhappy? Things are going too slow? Not ok. Things are happening too fast? Unhappy again. We have to be grateful adoption is happening so fast. What is the reason? We can only guess: competition with HK or just a way to p*ss off China? |

In case some of you missed this: Canada's Leylah Fernandez suffered a 6-3, 6-4 loss to 15-year-old Mirra Andreeva in the first round of the Madrid Open on Wednesday. The Russian teen, ranked 194th in the world, needed just an hour and 16 minutes to upset the 49th-ranked Fernandez. Spectacular performance from a Russian teen. Quite an easy win against a GS runner-up! Definitely future TOP10 material! Another talented teen Brenda Fruhvirtova lost to Kalinskaya in 3 sets: 6:2, 4:6, 4:6. Impressive win! And it seems she is continuing the winning strike since she has won also against Beatriz Haddad Maia (number 14 WTA/13 on Madrid seed). The Russian teen is definitely a player to follow... hoping that she will be able to confirm itself in the next few years... and to cope to a lot of pressure Yeah I watched the match: the Brazilian looked completely helpless. And note that Mirra wasn't using defensive play most juniors are trying to use against WTA stars in their first matches on tour. Instead she was playing aggressively, lots of winners and Haddad Maia actually struggled to return her serve. In fact, this is one of the best performances by a player so young ever. She is in R3 of 1000 series Masters tournament! At 15yo! In R3 she is going to face Linette or Vondrousova and from what I've seen so far she can beat either of them two. Thats an unbelievable result from her again, impressive also to be able to back up that win over Fernandez and beat a strong player as Haddad Maia. Definitely at this stage one to watch and for next round should be interesting to see how she goes against Linette. On the mens side there was a bit of an upset today with the Italian Vavassori beating Murray, that would have been a great bet to take on Vavassori I'd say. I'd say Murray is very close to retiring or waiting for the Grass season. Clay is a very physically demanding surface so it's really hard for the veterans to play (except Rafa obviously). You need top notch conditioning and be completely injury-free. So yeah, I'd say Murray has more chances on grass. Grass surface is not that hard on his joints as, for example, hard surface and isn't likely get you injured like clay (well, if the grass is not wet). |

I am present in crypto space years ago and I have witnessed two bear market, and I couldn't take advantage of one because of the condition that I was into at the time, but I heard about every good and bad things about crypto.
But I am curious about something and I will like to ask you old Bitcoin OG on here .
Why is it that bad news always comes in a bear market and when we are in a bull market, all bad news about Bitcoin vanished? Are they doing this on purpose? It's always the bear market, after halving everything will disappear and some bans will be lifted, and so on...
Are we been played? Are these people toying with us, knowing that crypto will work but let's scare the hell out of them and take advantage of the fear? I can't come up with anything that makes more sense than this.
I have somewhat different observations: bearish news during bull market make BTC go down, bullish news during bear market have no effect on the price. Why it's so? Manipulation cannot be ruled out completely. Bitcoin has so many foes, I wouldn't be surprised all/some of them would love to see Bitcoin fail. |
