[your problem]

Following the recent Bitcoin ATHs, C0inbase subredditors are now gaslighting people that storing your coins on that exchange is more secure than self-custodying.

But what triggered me to make this thread is this guy who insisted that people who receive sudden KYC/AML requests know what they did wrong, and that since it's supposed to be a Tip-Off (i.e. if your money gets frozen by exchanges or banks then that's your problem and nobody else's.)

This sounds ridiculous, so I took a screenshot of the interation with names redacted.






It's not hard to find the thread if you're interested.

Do not leave your coins on exchanges if you don't need to trade. I don't care how many bitcoins are in their multisig. *Your* setup is multiple times more secure than an industrial-grade setup whose website accounts are targetted by thousands of the smartest hackers on the internet.

And then on top of that the exchange itself is working against you. I repeat, do not throw away your hard-earned money this way!

I'm sure everyone on here knows that Elon is creating the America Party after being disillusioned by that One Big Beautiful (and Ugly) Bill, but many Bitcoiners were waiting to see whether it would embrace Bitcoin and free market values.

Well apparently, they got their answer a few hours ago:



This is a real tweet (both of them actually), and I actually saw the other one somewhere but never copied a link to it because it's buried under a bunch of other posts now.

Do you guys think that he's showing a genuine interest in Bitcoin now? Or is this going to be like Tesla (not) accepting Bitcoin?

The dogecoin creator is also optimistic about this btw.

[Senior Design Engineer (Fold, Inc.)]

Hi everyone, since lots of blockchain companies post on social media when they have open positions, and it can be quite daunting to search through the entire internet to find such posts, I have decided to gather them all into one place.

I include the job requirements and the application forms as well.

I hope this thread helps someone who is looking for a job.


I will usually post all the open job positions from a single company onto one post, but I may split them into multiple posts if I run out of space.

Anybody is free to comment about these companies, job positions, etc.

The government's trying to lock him up for helping people keep their coins private with Tornado Cash.

It has just been removed from the SDN. We cannot allow them to get away with this!

This is Ross Ulbricht all over again. Personally, I'm going to donate some coins to him, and if you're reading this, you should consider doing so too.

It would make a lot of sense since most of us are on there.

Some are a bit spammy, but these were the only topics I could find on the issue.

To avoid issues with inactivity, I think a moderator would have to create it.

I should really look into getting a hardware wallet soon. Unfortunately, I don't know of any in my area. And no PO box so I can't receive things in the mail either.

But that is not what I'm asking. Currently, I use Electrum. I like it because of the change address support, multiple addresses I can choose from, and especially coin control.

Is there any way I can get this functionality with a hardware wallet?

For instance, can I manage addresses and coins if I connect a specific brand of hardware wallet via USB on Electrum?

[Terms and conditions]

CryptoCardsList.com is a website that I have made to allow users to view and compare crypto debit cards. It is a direct enhancement of the Big List of Crypto Debit Cards that I have been maintaining since 2023, which currently has over 7,000 unique views.

Ad space is sold primarily to cover the costs for the hosting of the website and feature expansion development. For example, a BIN classifier is planned.

There are a total of five ad spots. These are randomly rotated with each one having an equal chance of appearing. A desktop banner with dimensions 728x90 and a mobile banner with 320x100 will appear depending on the device width.

Ads will be placed directly under the website's menu bar.

Terms and conditions

This auction will run for one week. If no bids are made during that time, then no ad space is sold.

The minimum bid is $100 per spot. The "buy now" price is $1000 per spot to encourage bidding.

Put the number of ad spots you are willing to purchase followed by an '@' character and the amount in dollars to pay for each spot. For example: "5 @ $100" means you will pay a total of $500 for 5 ad spots.

Everybody is allowed to participate.

If two people bid for ad spots at the same price, priority will be given to the first poster.

When the auction is closed, the ad spots will be assigned starting with the highest bidder.

Ad prices are denominated in US dollars at the time the auction is closed, using the rates at CoinMarketCap. The auction is considered closed when I make the final post in this thread before locking it. However, you may pay in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, or USDT (ERC20 or TRC20).

Once the auction ends, the winner(s) will indicate the cryptocurrency they will pay with and shall send the amount to an address given to them within 72 hours. If no payment is made by then, the spots will go to the next-highest bidder, and so on.

Once an ad is ordered, there are no refunds. However, the advertiser may change the banner associated with the spot.

Each ad spot has a one-year reservation until June 23, 2026.

GIF, JPG, and PNG banners are accepted.

The ads should not be NSFW or promote scams.

I reserve the right to remove an ad if the service behind it shuts down or becomes a scam, or if the advertiser directly requests me to remove the ad, or in a force majeure situation.

Stats

I use Google Analytics to collect advertising stats. You may request these at any time, starting from 30 days after the first auction is closed.

First of all, nobody is going to shed a tear over blockchain analysis services.

Having said that, Ciphertrace's URL started redirecting its whole site, to some MasterCard page of all places.

Maybe they were bought out by them, but why them in particular?

Open-source wallets only.

If they have basic coin control, multiple address support and address reuse safeguards then that is a plus.

I'm trying to load up on some LTC that I plan to use for payment purposes. Also confirms reasonably quicker than Bitcoin these days, where two-three blocks are mined in a few minutes and then I have to wait 30-40 more minutes for my transaction to get mined.

As you all know, scammers impersonate the identities of various Bitcointalk.org users on different platforms with the objective of robbing unsuspecting users. This is why it's important to verify the identities of the people you trade with on this forum.

There are two primary methods of verification:

1. Staked Addresses
2. PGP Public Keys (more secure)

When dealing with Bitcointalk users who provide escrow, campaign management, and other types of high-value services, you should always demand for one of these verification methods. The more addresses and keys provided, the more confident you can be that you're dealing with the real person (short of a SWAT team raid and hardware confiscation, but that is extremely rare and is out of scope for this thread).

On this thread I will list the profile information for all service providers on Bitcointalk, their handles, and how to verify their authenticity if you want to contact them. Especially for interactions outside Bitcointalk.

~WIP~

~~TODO link to address and pgp key threads~~

If I tap the "Add to playlist" button on a playlist Apple generated, and then tap "New Playlist" (counter-intuitive, I know), will this freeze the playlist from any songs being added or removed?

Just saving the playlist to the library doesn't prevent updates from happening.

[its contents weren't]

In the case where one person deletes their own posts, it sometimes causes adjacent posts to be merged together, like this:

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

[moderator's note: This post was deleted but its contents weren't. Due to a violation of either rule 21 or 32 (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) this post's contents were merged into the first post in a row you've made]

In that case, please show me a witness transaction only Legancy inputs in the blockchain.

You were right about only legacy inputs transaction since that's what the last sentence of the quote also says. It's at the beginning of the document btw. My question now is how to construct the witness in the following case:

but what if only some of the inputs are segwit?

= segwit

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.

[moderator's note: This post was deleted but its contents weren't. Due to a violation of either rule 21 or 32 (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) this post's contents were merged into the first post in a row you've made]

They're all UTXOs from a legacy address so I figured that the witness array still needs to be the total length of the inputs.

I am relatively certain that in this case you are not allowed to create a Segwit transaction. It must be a legancy TX!
Witness Field also not permitted in this TX!
Witness field may only be inserted if at least one input comes from a Segwit address.

BIP141 says this:

The witness is a serialization of all witness fields of the transaction. Each txin is associated with a witness field. A witness field starts with a var_int to indicate the number of stack items for the txin. It is followed by stack items, with each item starts with a var_int to indicate the length. Witness data is NOT script.

A non-witness program (defined hereinafter) txin MUST be associated with an empty witness field, represented by a 0x00. If all txins are not witness program, a transaction's wtxid is equal to its txid.

So if there is no segwit input, it basically means there is no marker, flag, witness field, etc. but what if only some of the inputs are segwit?

I am not sure what the witness is supposed to be in this case.

In this case, hypothetically if there were 8 witness items, they would not be specified as 00 x8 times, but 08 as the stack length and then each stack (containing the relevant scriptsig)?

And if only half of them were witnesses, then it's 04 as stack length and then the 4 stack items?

How does Core even keep track of which input a witness belongs to if there are legacy inputs scattered in the middle?

Do you think the moderator's note should additionally talk about this possibility?

In other words, I'd like to see something like this:

[moderator's note: This post was deleted but its contents weren't. Due to a violation of either rule 21 or 32 (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0) this post's contents were merged into the first post in a row you've made. This could be caused by posts you've quoted being deleted for some other reason.]

In addition, it would obviously be better if only one "deleted post" notification was sent, given the circumstances of the merge. Though I'm probably nit-picking here.

I saw dkbit98's topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5540122.msg65333946#msg65333946 but I wanted to create a new one to suggest this optimization.

If you're reading this and wondering why I haven't updated any of the campaign threads yet, don't worry. I'll do that soon.

Below is a screenshot of the Press board, from my account:



These two users, CoinTurk and chmod755, are on my ignore list (for Press spam).

However, only CoinTurk's posts are grayed out, and chmod755's appear like a normal user's posts. But clicking on any post from either account shows the expected "this user is ignored" message.

Is this a bug? My ignore list is not particularly large - there's a few dozen entries in it I think, but it's been a while since I've actually added anyone to my ignore list before today, so it's not like there's hundreds of accounts in it.

As of several days ago - I do not know exactly when they started this - CoinGate the crypto payment processor for many websites has started arbitrarily rejecting people's orders from being created.

This would not be that big of a problem if they did not leave the order page open for some time before rejecting the order.

Now you could actually send crypto to the designated address and then they reject it after it gets confirmed. Which forces you to nag them for a refund which takes a long time to deal with.

This almost happened to me actually when I was renewing one of my boxes a few minutes ago, but soon after I got this email I double-spent the transaction so that no money was lost. See the screenshot below:



It is quite a disappointment that they are doing this, as they used to be a super reliable service used everywhere. I think the EU address regulations have finally caught up to them. They have been requiring personal information like name, email and country for some time without any complaints. Now I'm not a european, or even live in europe, so it's strange why they are doing these rejections all of a sudden. Whatever it is, this is quite frankly a "funds SAFU" risk if you send them any sort of money for an order.

And no this is not a tainted coins issue, because there's barely any time to look at the broadcast transaction before you're automatically rejected (if you even make it that far that is.)

If your service providers use CoinGate then you should recommend them to use a payment processor that does not arbitrarily reject people's orders.

[Features ____________________]

Talksearch.io

It has always been a dream of mine to create a high-quality search engine for Bitcointalk. After many months of development, I am proud to announce that Talksearch is now generally available. This is an important milestone towards providing users with high-quality search.

Talksearch is a simple search engine that allows you to quickly find and go to any posts on Bitcointalk.

 Features ____________________

- Indexed ALL posts (up to June 2025)

• Deleted and hidden posts in Investigations are not supposed to be indexed. If you see any, report them to me with the post ID and topic ID.

- Superior performance to Bitcointalk's builtin search.
- Tor-friendly, lacking rate limits and captchas.
- Detailed post metadata such as user, date, and topic title.
- Eliminates spammy results by enforcing basic length restrictions.

And will eventually have more accurate results than either.

 Infrastructure ____________________

Talksearch's website is hosted on Google App Engine, but the search engine itself is hosted on a DDoS-protected server at  Dartnode. Its IP address is shielded from public exposure by proxying all requests through Cloud Run Functions. It has a capacity to host up to 380GB of posts, including AI embeddings. Talksearch has access to 32GB of memory and a powerful dual-socket Xeon processor with 48 threads for powering natural language search. Backups are available off-site in case of disaster. Obviously, none of this is cheap, and it costs around $170/month in total to maintain.

 Roadmap ____________________

- Continuously ingest posts from Bitcointalk (immediate priority) In progress
- Refine search result quality. In progress
- Introduce filters for user, date, etc. Done
- Create an end-user API


Posts do not update automatically yet. I am working on that.

I will continuously optimize the quality of results on the index to achieve the best possible results. For now though, you may need to use multiple words to filter relevant posts.

 Donate ____________________

If you wish to support the maintenance and future development of Talksearch, you can send funds to the following addresses:

Bitcoin: bc1q6dphprljdas0xl2cmqn6tlskselx5xtcpcw8kx
Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens: 0xd3CaaE5098b8Bef64A6FD415b0b1B61aE880FFF5
Tron and USDT-TRC20: TGrsWW6knTwcJxkUKvp7SoV5Fjub9KMAeb

Donations will only be used to pay for hosting costs.

According to this thread I just read, there used to be a method of running the BPIP extension on Android, by using an app called "Kiwi Browser". But now that that's unmaintained, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in a BPIP app.

It would basically be a WebView around the Bitcointalk forum but with the BPIP code scraped from the extension source, which is something suchmoon told me about a couple weeks ago.

Or perhaps it would be something slightly different, depending on Android design limitations.

I think it's very doable.

No iOS version, sorry. Not possible with my setup.
