Someone..most likely one infamous guy has a retort:
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/08/07/salomon-brothers-say-it-has-completed-process-of-notifying-abandoned-crypto-wallets
no doubt, it is an attack on satoshi's wallets first and foremost.
Do they actually believe they will ever own that money just because they keep yelling : "mine, mine, mine!"?
Maybe with fiat, sure. But not with Bitcoin. Not your keys, not your coins.
This isn't about keys, this is about claiming ownership if those coins are ever deposited into an exchange in the (far) future. I've seen enough questionable judge rulings to not be surprised if some judge in some country would go with this.
It's beyond stupid: if the coins are actually abandoned, they can't access them. But if someone moves them 20 years from now, that proves they weren't abandoned. There is no "claiming abandoned coins" in Bitcoin.

that one above is from 2022 and it is not needed as it is blank so to speak
That's WO history! It shouldn't be deleted, it should be edited and fixed. After imgur blocked the forum, I created this backup (3.5 GB for ChartBuddy).

Trading in high precision lines in not gambling
That's what every addicted gambler says when he claims he can "win it all back". If that would be true, you wouldn't have lost it in the first place.

This is how your "not gambling" is going:
I went from $1k to $18k and lost all
~
I went from another $1k to $14k and I lost all

There needs to be a serious revolution, and I just wish I knew where to find one (lol but not really lol).
Cracking down hard on honest tax payers makes me believe they're very, very afraid of the above scenario happening when people have had enough. Which brings me back to this:
Those laws remind me of this:
“The closer the collapse of the Empire, the crazier its laws are.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

That terrorism bullshit excuse is just one of several that cocksucking politicos pull out of their panties when they want to squeeze our nuts.  Terrorism, money laundering, and some other ones that I don't feel like writing about.
I like your writing style for this! Makes me miss TMAN. What amazes me most is that it's exclusively used for more surveillance, and not for more border security. It's like anyone can get in, after which they'll just tighten the ropes on everyone in the country "because of terrorism". Open borders are used to reduce privacy. Years ago, after many ATM bombings in my country, they removed many ATMs. The ultimate goal is no doubt to get rid of all cash money. On my last trip through Germany, there were long lines at the gas station toilets. Not because the toilets were full, but because 90% of the people use their debitcard to pay €1 to open the gate to the toilet, which is much slower than dropping a coin into the machine. Their bank literally knows when and where they take a piss!

Alternatively, I’m willing to offer a share of the final settlement or judgment if we proceed all the way through court and win.
This sounds like a great deal to make with your legal team. It gives them the chance to show they believe their own words.

I will sell my laptop to have funds to operate again
Taking loans and selling items to gamble sounds a lot like a gambling addiction.

That's not how math works.  You started out with $2k and now you have $0, that's -100% return.
Isn't it funny how anyone who has "a trading system" for unlimited money is always out of money? It's almost as if that system isn't working....

As far as I know, you're still not keeping track of "the first post of a topic", but if you do, how cool would it be if OP receives a notification if someone refers to OP (as I just did here)?
10  Other / Meta / Re: Special Requests from Theymos on: Today at 08:00:26 AM
If there are posts you think deserved merit but didn't receive any, feel free to list them and send a PM to me. If I find them suitable, I'll distribute merits.
Alternatively, OP can post them in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source. The board is even in English, so most Merit sources can read it.

I personally think that merit sources should have as a requirement, a minimum number of sent merits per month, and per X board, in order to keep their merit source badge active.
So if I don't want to read certain posts, I could either lose my Merit source status, or just Merit a random post. That's not going to improve anything.
I read what I want, being a Merit source is not a paid job where a boss gets to tell me what work to do.

As far as I know, only local boards have some specific merit sources.
And even they can spend their source Merits anywhere they want. They only reason they're "tied" to a local board is because they can actually read it.

Your topic title should be "Special requests to theymos", not from.
That's still wrong. OP should read theymos' Topic title style guide. A better title would have been: "Add a Moderator or Description to Beginners & Help board".

I would do what mathematically gives the best odds: make one dice bet all-in to get 3 times more (assuming that's enough to withdraw) or nothing.
Hello @LoyceV, I adhered to your advise and play a slot game ~ I nearly lose everything but my last spin gives me 70 percent return
That's not what I advised: slots have a high house edge, and by playing multiple rounds you're not getting the best odds. But it worked out for you, so lucky you Smiley

Having a pruned node with more blocks stored got no benefit from the default value or has any?
See:
The only thing I can think of is to be able to load wallets that are several weeks old.



Side note: considering the questions you're asking, you could very well be better off with Electrum. Is there a reason you want to run a pruned Bitcoin Core node?
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is Downgrading to an Older Version Better for Bitcoin Core Synchronization? on: August 06, 2025, 06:53:19 PM
how many GB of mobile data did it take you to complete the pruned synchronization process?
See:
You're going to download 600+ GB of data. If you're doing that on mobile data

In all these services by choosing yearly plans you will save a lot.
I like this in a company:
we don't want to lock you (and your money) into a long-term payment scheme
It sounds like: "a good product sells itself", and a good product doesn't lock their customers in.

You know it's not like Ouzo though. It's not to be blended with icecubes.
I read that: warm in winter, cold in summer. But I don't like ice in my ouzo either: I read that's how you're supposed to drink it, but depending on my mood I cool the bottle to +5 or -18 degrees. Around -25 ouzo becomes "slush".

You 've no idea what memories you 've brought to my mind. Being young, drinking rakomelo with a bunch of friends in the historical center of Athens, chatting with random people, spending time trying to solve unsolvable things.
You're welcome Smiley

Quote
Rakomelo has been a major catalyst in my life. It's shaped some of my best memories.
That's the thing with only 20% drinks: you actually get to remember it!

Quote
Anyway, what about greekflavours[dot]com and greek-e-foodmarket[dot]com?
Both don't have this specific bottle. They have some Rakomelo, but not the one I'm looking for.

Quote
Disclaimer: I no longer drink Rakomelo. It's very sweet for my taste.
Lucky me, I like sweet. And honey, this could very well become my new favourite drink against sore throats.

Edit: I hadn't noticed how long ago BHC was last active. It's been too long, hope he's just taking a long break.
I didn't notice that either. It's been a while indeed.

I just tested this in Tor browser, and it works. That is a very cool feature I didn't know about until now!

Ever since @BlackHatCoiner posted this, it's been on my mind (and wish list). I don't want to bump that topic, so allow me to quote it here:
I've tried all these drinks, and I'm yet to find one to compete this: Rakomelo. This thing just blows you away.
This one looks sick. It's thick enough. Although I can't promise you anything if you're buying it from Amazon. I had the honor to drink it from an official Rakomeladiko, as the Cretan restaurant is called. Fortunately I was with friends, otherwise I would probably not be in here talking with you.  Tongue
I found 3 buying options:
  • Amazon (above), for €44,44 per bottle plus €20 shipping. It's sold by OLIVE-KRETA, but I'm not willing to give Amazon a picture of my passport to see if I'm 18 years old (I'm pretty sure my account is older than that).
  • olive-kreta.de looks like the same seller, but €34.99 and €15 shipping. All I can find is 2 bad reviews.
  • mycretangoods.com, for €21,60 and €25,90 shipping (good price for ordering many bottles). But reviews end in 2020 and their address is boarded up.
Is there any reliable place to order this without sending my passport to Jeff and without flying to Greece?

Picture of what I'm talking about:
