There are dozens of things that may trip the 'look more deeply into this' thing from a bank. Most of them use a bunch of different algorithms. Part of it is also based on your previous use of the account. If you only rarely got a wire transfer and then all of a sudden you are getting in a couple of dozen a month. Is going to be looked at differently then an account that has always gotten in 3 or 4 or week going to 5 a week. Some banks really don't seem to care. Chase who I use never questioned anything. They just have bencome unberbable to deal with as a bank. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5502270https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5502270.msg64307249#msg64307249-Dave |

99% of the time deprecated in software means that it does work to an extent but is no longer supported.
In this case it is no longer supported and certain things do not work like the API call but, the addresses that it generates are going to be the same.
The math the generates the addresses did not change.

Also, keep in mind bitnodes is not omniscient there *might* be something older out there that someone hacked together that is still running.
It also only reports what the node itself reports. If someone mucked with the build bitnodes will report what the node says it is, not what the node is.
AND
It only reports nodes it can reach / verify, not all reachable nodes.
Subtle difference but it's there.

Wait till next week when omnicreor or at alt comes out with the new One True CoinTM that you should invest in instead of BTC
Assuming that the OP is not already an alt of one of the anti BTC people here.
Shrug, whatever. Glad to be one of the bad people who keep investing in crypto.

I'm in a condo now here in NY so I know all about the not having to do much around the place.
Last time I was out that way I looked at some stuff around Lake LV and some other areas towards the east. Was going to do the Summerlin / west areas this summer but things at work stopped me from making Black Hat / DefCon conferences so will probably just head out in the fall. I can take a trip to 110+ heat when someone else is paying. If I'm going on vacation on my $, I'll wait till the weather is nicer. :-)

From the DOJ link. During this time, Schaback allowed customers to open accounts and trade on Paxful without gathering sufficient know-your-customer (KYC) information; marketed Paxful as a platform that did not require KYC; presented fake AML policies to third parties that he knew were not, in fact, implemented or enforced at Paxful; and failed to file a single suspicious activity report, despite knowing that Paxful users were perpetrating suspicious and criminal activity. What they don't mention is how many warning they got or if Ray Youssef did anything to protect himself. As a result of his failure to implement AML and KYC programs, Schaback made Paxful available as a vehicle for money laundering, sanctions violations, and other criminal activity, including fraud, romance scams, extortion schemes, and prostitution. Does not mention anyone else within the company, so if he changed the direction of how it operated or the way it worked after he came into full control might also play a factor. i.e. Youssef was 'working' on it but left before anything was implemented. It's odd that nobody else was mentioned or charged (as of now) so it kind of looks like he was pushing Paxful to operate that way. -Dave |

Have been looking for a place out in LV but something closer to the desert not in the middle of everything. But, isn't that area kind of 'funky'? It has some things that are really nice nearby but the immediate streets seem kind of rough. Let's face it, do you really want to pay $650k + $800 a month to look out a window at a bail bonds place? https://postlmg.cc/XXpSqRDCThe place itself looks beautiful and he building itself also looks great, but I think it needs a bit more gentrification in the neighborhood. Coney Island here in NY is very similar. Stand in front of the Brooklyn Cyclones stadium and look left, you can't afford to live there. Look right and you don't want to live there..... -Dave |

The issue with JPM Chase is although they might be crypto friendly, as a bank they leave a lot to be desired. Years ago their customer service was amazing, now you are lucky if you can get someone on the phone who knows what a bank is. Had an issue that I admit was 100% my fault and all the customer service rep wanted to do was sell me more stuff. How about fix my problem 1st, then sell me things.
Will take a look at some of the other banks mentioned.
Thanks all.

Also, keep in mind whatever you use bcoin, BTCpay, whatever, should not be on the same server as whatever application you are putting out there on the web.
It should have very limited access and restrictions since you really don't want to risk funds due to a programming issue on something that has a connection to the internet.

Good, I would like to see more things like this.
All of these altcoins & tokens have cost people a fortune while the influncers and promoters and creators walk away with the profits.
In a bubble it's fine since people who are stupid enough to invest in things like this are the same people that will pay a 200% premium for the rare gold coins that only they can buy that they saw advertised on TV
Or it's the same people who buy the 'trump bucks' and then go to the bank and try to redeem them to find out they are worthless.
BUT.....
As the great Agent K said "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals"
A PERSON knows that a scam coin or token is not BTC or even crypto in general.
PEOPLE dump all of that together and it hurts the legitimate crypto world.
So yeah, nail these people to the wall.

Yet this guy seems to get away with spreading the FUD on CNBC all the time and gets nothing done to him by the SEC.  Imagine if he did pump up a memecoin such as pepe on his show then it immediately dumped the next day. Gensler wouldn't do a damned thing to him since he is a corporate sockpuppet to the exact same organization: The Government! Luckily those who are smart enough have refrained from listening to such rubbish from a so called expert on the markets and use the Inverse Kramer algorithm instead:  https://twitter.com/legen_eth/status/1592186979420377088Because before and after and I think in the middle you get this: All opinions expressed by Jim Cramer on this website and on the show are solely Cramer’s opinions and do not reflect the opinions of CNBC, NBC UNIVERSAL or their parent company or affiliates, and may have been previously disseminated by Cramer on television, radio, internet or another medium. You should not treat any opinion expressed by Cramer as a specific inducement to make a particular investment or follow a particular strategy, but only as an expression of his opinion. Cramer’s opinions are based upon information he considers reliable, but neither CNBC nor its affiliates and/or subsidiaries warrant its completeness or accuracy, and it should not be relied upon as such. Cramer, CNBC, its affiliates and/or subsidiaries are not under any obligation to update or correct any information provided on this website. Cramer’s statements and opinions are subject to change without notice. No part of Cramer’s compensation from CNBC is related to the specific opinions he expresses.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Neither Cramer nor CNBC guarantees any specific outcome or profit. You should be aware of the real risk of loss in following any strategy or investment discussed on this website or on the show. Strategies or investments discussed may fluctuate in price or value. Investors may get back less than invested. Investments or strategies mentioned on this website or on the show may not be suitable for you. This material does not take into account your particular investment objectives, financial situation or needs and is not intended as recommendations appropriate for you. You must make an independent decision regarding investments or strategies mentioned on this website or on the show. Before acting on information on this website or on the show, you should consider whether it is suitable for your particular circumstances and strongly consider seeking advice from your own financial or investment adviser. It's their get out of jail free card so to speak. Kind of like when Fox News / Tucker Carlson said in court that what he was providing was entertainment not news or facts when he was sued: https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/Mad Money (and other shows) follow the same thing. Where once again, (with some limitations) these Influencers are pushing the 'buy this and get rich' story. Add in with financial advice the quote above IS JUST ABOUT THE MINIMUM of what you have to say to get around the law. The 10 second thing some of them put in their videos is not even close. As I said yesterday, things like this don't just hurt the people who invest in the scams that the influencers push, it hurts crypto in general. Unlike say stock pump and dumps where people don't lump all of them together. As a rule people get that Enron stock has nothing to do with IBM stock. But they can't wrap their heads around the fact that Dave's Itchy Left Testicle Coin has nothing to do with BTC-Dave |

I made this post close to 4 years ago and got no traction: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279484For some reason I guess people here are a bit more private then other forums. If I disappeared there are a couple of people who have my contact info who could probably hunt me down with a little effort or at least someone who knows me. Even if I stopped answering calls & texts they know where I work / live. But, I guess some others either never made those kinds of contacts OR swore the people who have it to not disclose what is going on. -Dave |

Good, I would like to see more things like this.
Great comment (always loved that quote from MIB). In another thread I tried to explain now good, rational regulations that protect consumers is a good thing for the market. People need to remember what the FTX meltdown did to the price of Bitcoin before they scoff at regulations and crime enforcement like this. I don't think Bitcoin, as a popular mainstream investment, could even survive another FTX fiasco. It could turn investors away from all digital currencies for years. And as a small business owner in the digital currency space (and at Haypenny we emphasize the small in small business  ), I welcome rules that are written down that we can follow that will ensure consumers that we are on their side. I would be fine being a "licensed digital currency platform" for instance, that dictated we follow rules similar to what banks follow (we are preparing our company for ISO 27001 compliance for instance, which is what banks follow). We have gone to great lengths (and will go further still) to make sure our system is secure and our platform is fair to all participants. I wouldn't mind seeing some elements of our Promise put into regulations--they are common sense, if you ask me. Yup. The thing is this thread seems to be going in 3 different directions too. One is the discussion about influencers and promoters of coins & tokens #2 is the coins & tokens themselves The 3rd is the businesses that interact with them. Since I just posted about #1 influencers and promoters I would like to comment on #3 1st Coinbase & Gemini and all the other exchanges want it all and then complain when they have to follow some rules. They take in my BTC and give me ETH and charge me a fee. That's great. They make a profit and hopefully I make a profit. Just about every other business that does that. Be it banks, stock brokers, commodities traders, and so on have an incredible amount of rules to follow. And all these exchanges are complaining when they have to follow the rules. Yes the rules may be arbitrary and not have any logic to them. But neither do a bunch of them that everyone else has to follow. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it. Would also like to point out then when FTX fell apart or these exchanges got hacked they went running to 'The Big Bad Regulating Government' for help. Please Mr SEC get our funds back. And so on. When funds were hacked / stolen it was Please Mr FBI help me find the people that hacked us. But following the rules no, we don't have to do that...... On the #2 point yeah I think on some things the SEC is going overboard, but with obvious shit / scam coins & tokens nail them to the wall. The issue becomes that most people who are really into crypto see things like XRP as a scam. Others believe it is better then BTC that is where a lot of the screaming about 'why is my favorite coin being attacked' come from. If the SEC made XRP disappear tomorrow I would applaud. Others would see it as an attack on 'The One True Coin' -Dave |

I agree with @ABCbits your electrs (and core) are both out of date. We are talking about your money here why run software that is so far from current?
Also run smartctl (or similar) on the disk that is holding the data to make sure that it's not drive related.
What hardware (and how old) are you running it on. Just because you can install and run it all on a 4th gen i3 does not mean you should.....

... Yes, you may have a piece of history, but those only wanting a car may want to wait a few more years until the technology matures, becoming less expensive and also more powerful (imho electric cars desperately need a better technology for their batteries)...
Battery Tech is moving quickly and in a bunch of different ways to see which one really wins. There are EVs out there now that get over 400 miles of range. But they are bouncing over the $70000 price. BUT, to a large extent it's *not* because of the battery tech, but all the other crap in the car. Do you really need the cup holders in the back seat to have heating & cooling. Yeah it's neat, but there is a cost. Both $ cost and added weight which reduces range. Even my car, there is so much 'tech for the sake of tech' in it that they really could have made a much cheaper car with the same 300 mile range. Probably more range after you take out the extra few hundred lbs (100+kg for you metric people) of crap. -Dave |

Imagine how much Craig could have done and won if he was an honest and respectable person.
What actual skills does he have, though? I figure without the deceit and the fraud, at best, he'd be a mid-tier IT worker. Sociopathy disorder aside, there's nothing remarkable about him once you take away all the lies and misrepresentations. He scammed a lot of people for a lot of things over a long time. So he does have some real skill at being a slick snake oil salesmen. Which is a skill set in and of itself. I know plenty of people who could not sell free money if their lives depended on it. It's a shame really, since had he put his skill to good use, he probably could have been fairly wealthy as someone selling high end products. Beyond that he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. -Dave |

Over the years there have been a few discussions about banks that don't care that you have money coming in from and going out to crypto exchanges.
Are there any US people who have been dealing with some bank and a fair amount of crypro transactions that does not seem to care that they are crypto related.
I have had no issues with my current banks when related to crypto things but have become dissatisfied with they service about other things so I'm looking to move at least 1 account elsewhere. So was looking for a bank that does not care where some of the funding comes from.

OK, so not CT related at all (Sorry OG) but since I am pure EV at this point it's nice to know that in 2024 you can still siphon gas from your car to fill your bike if needed:  Side note, whoever at Harley-Davidson designed that bike is insane (LiveWire S2 DelMar) in sport mode at 45 MPH to 50 MPH I cracked the throttle open to test passing ability and instead of just going faster it pulled the front wheel straight off the ground. -Dave |

How about the most basic reason, it does not need it.
BTC is working fine and adding complexity and features like this would not change it's use. Just add more issues.
