1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Using change addresses does not increase privacy, just fees on: September 22, 2023, 10:42:56 PM
I will keep all my bitcoin on 1 single address thank you and change it when I want.

Not spread it across many different directions/addresses everytime I send some btc causing much higher fees pretending my privacy is enhanced.

What a joke. What a con.

Many ways outside of the blockchain to increase privacy without clogging up bitcoin with such non sense.

I don't care if you think otherwise, I'm pretty mad/pissed/upset about it.

But whatever. Stay ignorant and keep paying higher fees.  Roll Eyes

I mean really, do you like when you go to move all your funds at once and realize you really have much less -- cause all the fees that need to happen because now all your bitcoins were spread across many different wallet addresses..

That is appealing to you? OK. Whatever.

EDIT:

For those of you who don't know, pretty much every bitcoin wallet app is forcing you to use these change addresses, and thats why the more you use it the higher your fees have been at random times.


Unless you were sending a small amount and it was pulling that from 1 address, then the fees were normal.

But when you went to spend a higher amount, you were paying higher fees if it had to hit 2, 3, 4, etc wallets that your funds cause "change addressed" to over time.

It wasn't because you were sending more bitcoin, that isn't how bitcoin was meant to work. The fee is always the same no matter the amount as long as all the bitcoins are in 1 bitcoin address.

In the early days when you went to lookup your wallet address on the blockchain you would see all your funds in the wallet.

But now if you do that and had spent bitcoins since then, you'll see they were moved to other wallets. Some funds would stay behind again if you hadn't spent funds since receiving.

This is sick. You don't need this and it doesn't help your privacy not at least in a way thats worth the sick fees you pay over time.

But if you been using an exchange you might never notice, cause they doing it the old way where the fees stay 50 cents to a dollar.

Take coinbase, venmo, cashapp, paypal for example thats what they charge to send btc.

Cashapp lets you send btc free on lightning network but you have to send $25+ otherwise it as an option to pay $1 or $2

If you tried doing this yourself the fees would get out of control over time, because now most wallets for some reason changed to this stupid false privacy enhancement that really does nothing but give you the illusion you have much more privacy. It does cause some people a headache -- but not worth the fees you pay at all over the long run, not even close. And its only getting worse.
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / What happened to keeping all my bitcoin in same address? Now I pay insane fees?! on: September 20, 2023, 06:50:30 AM
I have used GREEN, MUUN, BITCOIN.COM etc

Over time my fees start to jump to $2-$3+ randomly.. I search and beg for an option to turn this stupid "privacy" feature of changing my bitcoin address off.

I literally send all my funds to ONE SINGLE ADDRESS yet each bitcoin app I have used INSISTS on changing my funds around causing me headaches and endless fees later.

I don't know who thought this made privacy better, but I can literally track and see where all my bitcoins are being funneled to.

This has done nothing but caused double to triple the fees everytime I go to send a bitcoin transaction. Sometimes I'm lucky if the amount is small enough it only cost one fee.

But when your wallet keeps moving your bitcoins around sometimes it has to pull from multiple wallets and its causing stupid fees!!

A SINGLE bitcoin fee is already getting high enough as is!!!!!

Please can someone tell me a wallet that doesn't have this discusting sickening "feature" that has done nothing but continuously cost me more in fees?

My request is simple:

I want ONE BITCOIN ADDRESS FOR EVERYTHING ALL FUNDS!

If I want my bitcoin address changed, I want to be the one to do it!

This is an issue I've been neglecting to confront, everytime doing a google search not finding much on it. Switched bitcoin apps like 5x now with no luck. They all are doing the same thing without the option to disable! It does not matter if I send all bitcoins to just one address.

This is such a sick sickening "feature" if someone could please assist me I would thank you.

To even suggest it increases privacy is just sick to me to, why when I can click and see where my funds are going? Doesn't make sense.

Regardless of if I'm somehow mistaken (even though I've done it myself on the blockchain?) I BEG to have this feature disabled oh please!

Sorry for some rant but this has stressed me out sooooo much and now the fees are really being felt worse than an ATM!
3  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin recent boom tracing back to Mt Gox + FTX/celsius/terra on: January 21, 2023, 12:48:36 AM
2014
MTGOX lost most users funds when bitcoin price was around $500

2022
8 years later that bitcoin has grown and MTGOX users getting paid back
FTX lost most users funds when bitcoin was around $20k

2030
8 years later..........

The price of bitcoin...............?

Governments have to be careful not to influence crypto in a bad way, causing users crypto assets to decline while dealing with any fraud that contains crypto assets.

Terra was an example of how dangerous stablecoins can be - more specifically, "algo" stablecoins.

Celsius was a reminder of stop falling for ponzi scams promising high yield. Remember e-gold/HYIPs? (RIP<3) Yeah stop doing this. Create a business and have a coin just to have a coin if you want to, that is just what the stock market does. The crypto verse is no different and who is anyone to tell you otherwise? Crypto is on your side.

Crypto and most importantly Bitcoin has shown us the stock market can be just as much a joke and bad investment as anything else no matter how regulated you make it.

Binance is ahead having its own token and blockchain. I wish coinbase would follow suit leaving the stock market functions behind. The other exchanges are looking like something from the distant past, designed to confuse users and full of bugs.

Maybe Elon Musk will take doge to mars.

Bitcoin will stay the heart of crypto because as long as people can transact value/communication between eachother without governments saying no, it will never die and won't go down without defending itself.

Crypto operates easily even in China for those who know how to truely utilize defi functions. Western nations will continue to fully support crypto and Starlink might be used to send some doge.

Crypto truely is the people no matter how hard anyone trys to demonize it.

Demonize yourself regulators.  Roll Eyes Grin

5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Just lost $4000 because of addresses starting with "bc1p" on: December 20, 2022, 03:36:33 AM
What is a Bitcoin address that starts with B?
You can identify the type of a bitcoin address by looking at the first letters of it. If it starts with "1", it's a legacy address. If it starts with "3", it's a P2SH address. If it starts with "bc1q", it's a native segwit and if the first 4 letters are "bc1p", it's a taproot address.Oct 18, 2021


Whoever decided this was a good idea is a MORON. (and me too now but damn)

Did you even think about people who verify address by looking at first few letters/numbers of address?

I usually do both, the first few and last few but I mainly always went by the first few digits to make sure I didn't accidently copy/paste wrong address.

Thanks a lot whoever thought it was a good idea to have "bc1p" on every address.  Embarrassed Angry Huh

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Governments will issue "stablecoins" on existing main stream blockchains on: December 06, 2022, 02:30:56 AM
Using existing blockchains such as Ethereum and maybe one day Bitcoin they will bypass the banking systems completely and create a fully digital form of the dollar, hosted on blockchains.

Bitcoin better get ready to support more functions, though moving at a snails pace you can little by little do more with Bitcoin than people know.  Wink

China failed at creating a global digital currency, they didn't use the blockchain and its centralized.

Sure, we hate printing of money, but at least we can more actively see the MINTERS of USDs and what happens to that money.

Physical cash is a MASSIVE waste of power and resources. From the materials its made out of, to the machines that create it, to the endless agents who have to find counterfeiters, to the banks hosting money on centralized ledgers, the list just goes on and on.

It just doesn't make sense to have a stable coin "linked" to a bank somewhere. Defeats the real purpose of crypto and Bitcoin in general and then who trusts this auditor?

FULLY digital dollar coming to a block chain near you!

9  Economy / Speculation / Stop the panic, I doubt we will see 14k or less Bitcoin on: November 11, 2022, 05:13:16 PM
Literally articles are flooding saying the bottom isn't here etc etc.

The FTX thing sucked, but Bitcoin can only go so low with the amount of support it has and how integrated it has become with the banking system.

Stop the FUD.

EDIT: For those of you who seem not to remember what FUD stands for:

Fear. Uncertainly. Doubt.

11  Other / Off-topic / Every since Wikipedia has been against Bitcoin they been begging for donations on: November 09, 2022, 04:28:01 PM
I use to almost never ever ever see this, but I swear since they been hating on crypto I see it more, begging for donations. After the 6th time I felt compelled to share my experience here. Shame on Wiki. Shame on Molly White.

https://mashable.com/article/wikipedia-wikimedia-cryptocurrency-donations

"Molly White" really hates crypto and claims to be a developer. But really she is just the daughter of a book writer charlotte's web and just lives on wikipedia.

So they are so against crypto they don't even want to accept it as payment.

Wiki is great, seems like they should be a platform that DOES accept this type of money. Makes 0 sense.

https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/01/12/wikipedia-faces-pressure-to-stop-accepting-crypto-donations-on-environmental-grounds/

But now I see this stupid banner asking me to donate a lot more, and to be honest I haven't seen that thing in well over a year until recently it keeps coming up on a lot of my searches when I click wiki links.

12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / LITHO (lithosphere) will moon on the next bull run & well under 1 million mc on: November 08, 2022, 01:25:26 AM
Under 1 million marketcap.

https://lithosphere.network/
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lithosphere/
https://www.coinbase.com/price/lithosphere

You can only buy it on mexc.com right now and some other exchange. It is currently a BNB token but not even on pancakeswap yet. Smiley

They will release the litho blockchain next year.

Mark my words - litho will hit $1 / 1 billion dollar marketcap

If any high risk coin under 1 mil MC is worth a bet, this is it.

They have proposed cutting the supply of 1 bil litho in half.

Origins from the Bahamas-Miami-Florida area along with official locations at Seattle, Washington USA

The risk vs reward is high, being that it isn't some project already at 10-100+ mil market cap.

Just a 1 bil mc = over 1000x your money.

Worth throwing $100-$1000 at it for sure.

Not counting the lightning network obviously, because anyone I guess could create a lightning network for any coin.

14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Found a new gem - "Litho" [147k market cap] New coinbase listing? on: October 29, 2022, 02:05:15 AM
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/lithosphere/

Lithosphere’s vision is to connect all blockchains and break the barriers between blockchains by allowing them to transact with each other. The end goal is to create a connected network of blockchains, a network of blockchains able to communicate with each other in a decentralized way. With Lithosphere, blockchains can maintain sovereignty, process transactions quickly and communicate with other blockchains in the ecosystem, making it optimal for a variety of use cases instead of being limited to one blockchain network.

Diluted market cap is 2 mil+

Predicting 10-100 mil mc+

"Probably" 1 bil+ ..

Quote
Sign up with Coinbase to stay up to date on Lithosphere and get notified when it becomes available on Coinbase app.

https://www.coinbase.com/how-to-buy/lithosphere

Directly from an almost generic message off coinbase site.

Compare it with other coins, they might say if but not when.

https://www.coinbase.com/how-to-buy/lit

Idk what lit is but its a different coin and look at the way they worded it vs litho
15  Economy / Speculation / the algorithm customarily increases each computer's electricity usage accordingl on: September 10, 2022, 11:53:32 PM
https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/news/new-york-state-assembly-to-ban-proof-of-work-crypto-mining-for-two-years

The bill prohibits fossil fuel permits for crypto-mining relying on the proof-of-work consensus algorithm. The consensus algorithm validates a cryptocurrency transaction by allowing people to compete to add new blocks. As virtual miners compete to be the first to solve the complex puzzles, the algorithm customarily increases each computer's electricity usage accordingly.

https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/09/02/hacker-steals-bill-murrays-crypto-after-185k-nft-charity-auction/



Now that Ethereum is suppose to get cheaper to use, will people instead of maybe giving a few people a copy of your key, they instead get a vote in a smart contract that authorizes funds to be sent?

50%+ etc

Now the hacker has to hack many devices, people, etc.

This was suppose to be for charity afterall, not personal funds.
