PayPal and Western Union are no longer available payment options for ICPH; instead, the company is now accepting Tether, an Ethereum ERC-20 token.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: January 04, 2024, 08:33:49 AM
Is it not sufficient protection for anonymity to do transactions: BTC1>XMR>BTC2? Why exactly?
I must do BTC1>XMR>XMR2>BTC2 (ChatGPT calls it churning) ?

I am aware that i can put some delay after XMR deposit and then wait some time and split XMR to BTC transaction into two random Txs.

I am thinking to use https://bisq.network/ to exchange my BTC to XMR and back to new BTC wallet (accessed using Electrum app that connects using built-in Tor proxy). Maybe in such case the BTC1>XMR>BTC2 scenario is enough anonymous, noob friendly explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.
3  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / blockchain.com BTC wallet "affected by a third party software security issue" on: November 28, 2023, 12:06:15 PM
https://login.blockchain.com/en/#/home is telling me:

Quote
The following legacy addresses have been identified as possibly affected by a third party software security issue. To secure these funds, click the ‘Transfer Funds’ button below. This will mover the funds from the legacy addresses into new, secure addresses in your DeFi Wallet.

It is my main BTC wallet, there is only option to "Transfer funds". When i click it, it says: There was an issue transferring your funds. Please contact Support.
Then i end up at https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/sections/4585337100180-Account-Security

Do you have any security-wise suggestion. Is now good time to import my wallet into an Linux desktop wallet app https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet?step=5&platform=linux&important=transparency ? I am very rarely using the wallet, just storing my BTC there.

ISSUE WITH navpay.navcoin.org

Got error:
Error: Could not import: Wallet not registered at the wallet service. Recreate it from "Create Wallet" using "Advanced Options" to set your recovery phrase
I am unable to find any Create wallet with advanced options, it only start Generating wallet and ends in error: Cannot Create Wallet: Error creating wallet: Network error
This is Firefox 94.0.2

I do not have any .json wallet file or such. So how should i proceed? The smallest Linux wallet i have found on https://navcoin.org/get-started#light-wallets is NavCash.
So i have used it and it failed too:
Quote
...
self.run('on_bip43', seed, passphrase, derivation, script_type)
NameError: name 'seed' is not defined

What helped was to download latest version from https://build.nav.community/navcash/
Instead of the outdated NavCash-5.2.1-x86_64.AppImage advertised at https://navcash.nav.community/

Ethereum and Litecoin are more energy efficient:
Quote
"From 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2018, we estimate that mining Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero consumed an average of 17, 7, 7 and 14 MJ to generate one US$, respectively. Comparatively, conventional mining of aluminium, copper, gold, platinum and rare earth oxides consumed 122, 4, 5, 7 and 9 MJ to generate one US$, respectively, indicating that (with the exception of aluminium) cryptomining consumed more energy than mineral mining to produce an equivalent market value."

Found interesting claim from CoinShares. That most Bitcoin is mined using electricity generated from renewable sources.

This article (https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2018/11/30/coinshares-report-renewable-energy-accounts-for-77-6-of-total-bitcoins-energy-usage/) contains following text:
CoinShares estimates that Sichuan has a 43.2% share of global bitcoin mining renewable energy usage, the remaining relevant Chinese provinces have a 5.7% share, relevant western regions have a 27.8% share, and the rest of the world has a 0.9%. Adding these up, CoinShares concludes that renewable energy makes 77.6% of total bitcoin mining. These estimates all assume that the renewable energy penetration and global mining market share are accurate. CoinShares states, in the report’s disclaimer, that “the information presented in this document has been developed internally and/or obtained from sources believed to be reliable,” and that the firm does not guarantee “the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of such information.”

coinshares whitepaper: https://coinshares.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Mining-Whitepaper-Final.pdf

it gives to me an impression that if that is true, that there is massive mining in Sichuan, maybe in that area is some renewal sourced electricity surplus and so it is cheap and someone taken an advantage of that. That is just a guess, is possibly wrong. Is there any thorough article about the mining in that area?

.win TLD registar modified this domain pricing so ICPH had to adjust the price accordingly
18  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Hosting, VPS, Dedicated Servers for Bitcoin on: February 08, 2018, 07:19:36 PM
.in domain name price was just lowered from $15 to $9. (different domain registar is used)

I added several new images and quotations about Bitcoin electricity usage into the first post.

Code:
Energy Source               Mortality Rate (deaths/trillionkWhr)
Coal – global average         100,000    (41% global electricity)
Coal – China                         170,000   (75% China’s electricity)
Coal – U.S.                               10,000    (32% U.S. electricity)
Oil                                               36,000    (33% of energy, 8% of electricity)
Natural Gas                                4,000    (22% global electricity)
Biofuel/Biomass                    24,000    (21% global energy)
Solar (rooftop)                              440    (< 1% global electricity)
Wind                                                 150    (2% global electricity)
Hydro – global average          1,400    (16% global electricity)
Hydro – U.S.                                     5    (6% U.S. electricity)
Nuclear – global average              90    (11%  global electricity w/Chern&Fukush)

Quote
In the USA about 30,000 deaths/year from coal pollution from 2000 TWh.
15 deaths per TWh.
In China about 500,000 deaths/year from coal pollution from 1800 TWh.
278 deaths per TWh.
