1  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [V2] Big List of Crypto Debit Cards on: Today at 04:49:02 PM
New format looks much better but I would personally add some dividing space lines between each rows if I knew how to make this tables.
I know about many other cards that exist, especially virtual and I will try to collect them all and post here for next update.
You should also add row for KYC, there are many virtual cards that can be used without any verification.

Hmm... that is going to be complex. I can't use the regular {hr} tags because they break the table formatting, and I'm not really sure what to replace it with. Maybe dashes or underscores on a single {td} would do the trick?

3DS data is not available for many cards, so I'm still trying to look for those.
This one is tricky to find, but they exist when verification is performed.

Currently I am relying on the vendor declaring this support themselves.

KYC data would be interesting to add too, but it is prevalent for almost all debit cards except for the prepaid cards. So for now as a little workaround you can look at the Bank/Card Fund fields (indicates KYC) and the XMR column (indicates no KYC, for obvious reasons).

My ISP will definitely severely throttle my internet if I attempt to do that. (I do not exactly know what the fair use policy here is, but anything above 100GB will definitely trigger it.)
That sucks, which country is that? My laptop downloads 10 GB per day on average, and that's just one of many devices in our household. They never complain if I max out my connection for a few days.

Let's just say it's a third-world country, which generally do not have much internet resources and DC (data center) bandwidth compared to first-world countries.

I'm curious: did you get a VPS with 600+ GB NVMe and very little RAM? That's a weird combination.

Yes, I ordered that a month ago. This server was originally for backup storage, but I have since subscribed with a seed host and moved them there. My vendor lets me configure the specs of the server so I went with 2GB to make it as cheap as possible, but I quickly regretted not making it 4GB.

This is a boutique host, with crazy stuff like 10Gbps Ethernet offered. But I will take your advice to move my node somewhere else. I'm just not sure where at the moment.

PS: Pruning will not work for me, as my application requires a node with -txindex. I only intend to run it for a few days to conduct some testing.

Any reason you don't run this locally? 1TB SSDs and some older i5/i7 machines are not that expensive anymore.
As a few of us have discussed even NEW N95 based mini PCs with 16GB and 1TB are under $249

My ISP will definitely severely throttle my internet if I attempt to do that. (I do not exactly know what the fair use policy here is, but anything above 100GB will definitely trigger it.)

This method will no longer work once Brave imports the Manifest V3 crap that Chrome just added. I guess just use Firefox instead.

Opera is even better than Firefox.

How so? I am genuinely curious.

Yes, I am aware that this setup will thrash the disk a lot.

And you probably should be concerned getting warning from the VPS provider.

What do you mean?

@DaveF unfortunately, I do not have any other nodes elsewhere at the moment.

Use brave (disable its native adblocker) + ublock origin and you won’t be seeing any ads unless it embedded in the content video which seems not to be the case according to the reply above. I still find it fascinating seeing people using the internet without any adblocker software. The internet is the new TV. Unless you fight back, you’ll get overflowed with ads

This method will no longer work once Brave imports the Manifest V3 crap that Chrome just added. I guess just use Firefox instead.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Will a 2GB RAM VPS run Bitcoin Core? on: June 11, 2024, 10:41:59 AM
I needed to get a spare VPS to run some tests with Bitcoin Core, and this was the only one that met the disk requirements.

The maxmempool and the dbcache are set to the bare minimum (5 and 6 MB respectively).

Currently, there is 1.2GiB free while I am running Core. There are no other programs running on the system:

Code:
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1.9Gi       775Mi       113Mi       1.0Mi       1.2Gi       1.2Gi
Swap:             0B          0B          0B

It is currently on around block 450,000 in the IBD.

Yes, I am aware that this setup will thrash the disk a lot. However, the disk and network are in excellent condition - NVMe SSD and 1Gbps network respectively. So how long should I expect the validation to take?

And will I run out of memory before it finishes?

As I mentioned earlier, I will not be joining the pool. However, I am interested in designing a site that will show the pool leaderboard in a more sane manner. It's going to be sorta like the leaderboards that Ulven used to make. Hosting and everything will be on me. What do you guys think about this?

12  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Urgent security alert: Over $1 Million stolen from FreeBitco.in on: June 10, 2024, 09:09:45 AM

I'm trying to reach out to the team... I can provide all the necessary information. There have been multiple thefts. I hope they'll contact me through this channel. If not, I'll have to share everything. However, my goal isn't to expose them and bring them down. Besides, other scammers might exploit the breach if it's revealed.

I think you must be a cybersecurity professional or a white hat.

Actually even we are having trouble getting into touch with any of the Freebitcoin staff, and up to date, the only message we have received from them was from the account called "freebitcoin PR" who always posts promotions on the main thread. Maybe try sending a PM to that account.
13  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Thoughts on Passkey wallets? on: June 10, 2024, 09:01:37 AM
- You basically can create or restore your wallet using your PIN ~
- Passkeys are stored in your iCloud or Google drive
This sounds like a great way for attackers to gain access to your wallets, including inside jobs at the cloud provider.

To be clear, the PIN is not intended to be the main authentication option for unlocking something protected by a passkey, but it is usually only used after you already log in with a username or password, mainly for inactivity purposes.

It's like, imagine your phone has a password (not PIN) you had to type to "log in" to the phone. Now imagine a logout button, and a PIN, but you only type it when you are logged in, and only after the phone becomes inactive and locks.

14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trump vs. Biden is almost like Bitcoin vs Fiat on: June 10, 2024, 03:48:11 AM
Trump does not care about Bitcoin.

Why are you guys so gullible?

Even if he wins, there is no guarantee that his administration won't crack down on crypto themselves.

And frankly, if you can't understand this, I don't know how you manage to protect your coins from malware and phishing links.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Internet don't forget, many times Donald Trump says bad about Bitcoin on: June 09, 2024, 12:27:18 PM
Donald Trump is openly available for sale.

For a few million dollars you can change his opinion about crypto, Tiktok, and basically every other negative opinion he had 8 years ago.

The long-awaited reformatting has been completed! Smiley

This new format is compact should make it easy for you to find which cards support which country, Paypal, and other data.

3DS data is not available for many cards, so I'm still trying to look for those.

I am keeping the old legacy list around until I finish adding the numerous new services that have been posted over here and in other places.

Is this person still stealing others coin? Binance or any centralized exchange could not be able to freeze his accounts?

It could also be a matter of not being interested enough to freeze his accounts.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should there be a way to register your wallet with the government? on: June 09, 2024, 06:03:35 AM
There's no benefit. You'll still have to give them your ID if we were to open "wallets" like we open bank accounts. And actually we need to show IDs every time we want to withdraw money too, ignoring things like ATMs and cards and stuff. At least the exchanges and stuff only ask for them once.

A libertarian government might benefit from your sort of approach, but for the existing governments, this request is insatiable.

Is there any way we can get this forwarded to media publications in order to accelerate their downfall?

How to Participate:
We are using Kangaroo2 software for collaborative puzzle solving.
Let's decipher BTC Puzzle 130 together and share the grand reward!
Good joke, so your business model is to find idiots that mine DP for you. Using software that doesn't even support puzzle 130 anyway. With zero innovations, fixes, or changes to the code, probably because you have zero idea how to even read it. Just adding a "2" at the end. It's also, most likely, not even forked by you.

Here's the thing - Until we can figure out how to properly mod JLP's Kangaroo to use an additional 128-bit word for its DPs, higher puzzles cannot be solved with it.

Multi-word operations are tricky, like walking in a minefield. I've already attempted and failed at this, but maybe someone else will figure it out.
