Use a 3rd party text editor like notepad or notepad++  if you want to compose a lengthy post especially if you have a mouse with two buttons on the side that could cause you to close the tab accidently.

Or use this instead - https://www.sceditor.com/
1342  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Twitter adds ethereum for tipping and receiving on: February 17, 2022, 05:57:07 AM
While I understand that the Ethereum network's high transaction price is a major issue when it comes to tipping, you can use BTC (BTC)[1] instead. As far as I'm aware, Twitter has enabled the use of Strike[2] wallet for tipping other users via Lightning Network, which is extremely convenient for instant and low transaction fees. The only drawback I can think of is that Strike wallet is a custodial wallet that is only accessible in a few countries and is subject for KYC as well as asset freezing due to its centralized nature.

Again, it could be extremely problematic for now but implementing other alternative like ETH is still a good stepping stone in crypto space.

What do you mean by begging ?
He's referring to people who beg the community to help them resolve their financial difficulties, as if it were a charitable community. More importantly, it is also against the forum rules if you haven't read that one.

Furthermore, asking for a solicited "merit" is also a form of begging.

Edit: the rules I am talking about is already linked above my post.

We really need to find out a better way to weed out scams rather than hope for government regulations which do nothing but restrict real projects.
No. The better question would be, "how can we educate the majority of people to learn and identify which project are scam and which project are not?" and "how can people learn to manage their risk especially in terms of investment?"

As long as there is money involved, shady projects will persist, and the only practical answer I can think of is education. Government can only warn people and it's up to individuals if they will follow or not.

I think the secret sauce here is to avoid replying with a 10-page thread, especially if it's opinionated or the issue/topic has been resolved. Although I understand the need to respond to a thread that interests you, there are instances when responding to a thread can result in an old thread being resurrected, which spambuster will flag unless the reply is thoughtfully constructed.

But hey! It's just me and this tip actually works for me.
1346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When to know Bitcoin has reset? on: February 16, 2022, 04:14:11 PM
Sure, there would be a price drop in bitcoin! However, a reset or large price crash, in my opinion, is quite unlikely because there are several factors to consider before you can be certain that a great crypto reset is on the horizon.

From a technical standpoint, it could be tied to a serious security hole that compromises bitcoin's integrity, causing users to lose faith in bitcoin as a secure alternative payment mechanism. Or perhaps it has something to do with more improved science/mathematics, rendering cryptography skewed which I think is very unlikely because many of bitcoin developer are constantly improving it.

It could also be a huge global war that has a detrimental impact on the economy and so much more. The point is that it's still a multibillion-dollar question that none of us can answer, especially now that bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are so vast that they have significant applications in today's world. Not only that, many institutions have adopted bitcoin to the point where they are now purchasing it in large quantities.

@VanityWallets2015

As per the written rules, I don't think winz.io mentioned some restrictions about the negative trust. And perhaps, it would be much better if they are the one who will clarify about this particular guideline.

So far, I think the contest has received 50 submissions, all of which I assume will be declared winners in the coming days if the target of 100 submissions is not met.

Even though you are considering BTC as a gift, you still need to save a backup copy of the seed phrase without telling them that you have extra copy of it while teaching them the ins and out of bitcoin in general. Becase at some point, people aren't ready enough to appreciate and handle intangible things like crypto (BTC)

Not only that, teach her a good practice in terms of improving her InfoSec to avoid any issues with compromised device, phishing etc..You don't want to feel like shit when your gift turned into a source of regret, no?

Anyhow, wishing your sister a happy marriage!  Smiley

is there any chances of getting your Bitcoin or ETH wallet compromised when newbies generates new address? It is possible that a bitcoin wallet can generate a wallet that's been in use by another user?
I think what you are referring to is something called "bitcoin address collision"

I don't know much about the technicalities but from what I have understood, you have produced a new bitcoin address that is equal from an existing funded bitcoin address that is hashed from an existing public key. And, based on what I've read, it's theoretically possible, but the chances of getting the same address are extremely slim to the point that it requires extremely powerful computing machine to create it...

I know it may not be accurate but I think that's the gist behind bitcoin address collision.

Quote
Since Bitcoin addresses are basically random numbers, it is possible, although extremely unlikely, for two people to independently generate the same address. This is called a collision. If this happens, then both the original owner of the address and the colliding owner could spend money sent to that address. It would not be possible for the colliding person to spend the original owner's entire wallet (or vice versa).

But because the space of possible addresses is so astronomically large it is more likely that the Earth is destroyed in the next 5 seconds, than that a collision occur in the next millenium.

You shoud be better buying your own hardware equipments to mine cryptocurrency of your choice as most of the companies claiming that they are doing cloud mining services are mostly Ponzi schemes[1].

- Mining altcoins and exchanging it for bitcoin
- Dollar cost average (DCA) bitcoin
- Investing ASIC miners

Are some of the alternatives that I can think of.

Linking this thread created by @LoyceV in case there is someone who is new to this type of problem called "Clipboard Hijacking".

[1] How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V

I was so lucky to noticed this and I have the habit of cramming the last three alphabets of the receivers address after clicking on copy.
Just a suggestion. Check the entire address string to see if the pasted address is the same as the source. Only checking the first/last three characters is not a good practice since the middle part can be modified, which can be tough to spot if you are not paying attention.
1353  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ADA basically useless on this forum for payments? on: February 14, 2022, 10:06:36 AM
For the forum, the official coins here being accepted are BTC and GRIN IIRC.
Nope! As for theymos' latest update, grin payments are currently not accepted.

Quote
November 2021 update: grin payments are currently not being accepted. My payments code broke, and since grin payments were never very common, it hasn't been a priority to fix it.
Link to post

The problem with taking ADA as a means of payment is that, unlike BTC, it is not generally recognized. The difference in transaction costs between the two coins isn't far away, either. Unless you accept money on a daily basis, saving a penny or two won't make any difference.

Even if you use bitcoin, and you're a freelancer working on a contract basis, having one or two one-time payments wouldn't be too expensive. You can just simply monitor the required sats/vbyte[1] to save fees as much as you can.

When someone asked[1] whether there was a fishing game comparable to those provided by arcade establishments, I remember recommending this game. It's just sad that the thread have been locked a few days after the thread has been created, but yeah, it seems that there are some people who are interested in the game.

For practice purposes, there are also similar applications that can be downloaded from the Playstore.

@bitcoin2121

I think this is the link to what @Eternad is talking about.

Here's the reliable launchpad that you can check out in different blockcahin:

https://bscstation.finance/#/launchpad - Binance Smart Chain
https://bscpad.com/ - Binance Smart Chain
https://ethpad.network/ - Ethereum Blockcahin
https://adapad.io/ - Cardano Blockchain
https://velaspad.io/ - Velas Blockchain
https://polkastarter.com/ - Polkadot Blockchain
https://kaistarter.kardiachain.io/ - Kardiachain

I've seen some of the launcpad in Binance that lets you earn some share of their tokens by simply holding some BNB/BUSD. I don't know about the others but usually, launchpad gives larger token allocation to people who also hold larger number of tokens that is required which entails the possibility where the price is being dump by large bagholders.

Restricted due to Armed Conflict or Political Unrest:
We currently do not accept any transactions or purchases from the following regions because of armed conflicts or political unrest: ~Algeria~

EDIT:

Looks like I missed your first post. I don't know how the political situation is going on in your country, but I believe Roobet and the game provider are having a slim chance to fix it. Undecided
The prohibition of all types of gambling in their country is linked to their religion, which is mostly based on Sharia Laws[1] because the majority of their people is Muslim. They also have a penal code[2] that states that anyone who is affiliated with or participates in any type of gambling activity, whether online or offline, might face a year in prison. I guess that explains the issue of @GxSTxV.

He can still place a bet though but it is only restricted only for traditional sports like volleyball, football and handball[1]

@guty

You can still post your NFT related projects Tokens (Altcoins). And, there will be no "new" childboard or section that will be created solely for NFT's.

Note that in every main board, there is child board underneath them -- so you don't get confused.

I suspect that the creator of this advertisement is either misinformed or just someone who has a weak InfoSec who always loses his seed phrase or is getting scammed by those shitty projects.

and can’t be exchanged for the vast majority of goods and services! Honest!"
Eh? Of course! As far as I know, bitcoin's primary goal to is to create an alternative payment system that is borderless, immutable and censorship resistant. It never says that it should be the primary form of payment system. We're lucky that there are few services[1] who adapt/accept bitcoin as an alternative in exchange for their products/services/goods.

[...snip] found out that my region isn't allowed and i cannot join your casino.
By looking at your post history, Arabic countries are allowed to use Roobet's Services and I don't think that I have read where there is an absolute restrictions in your particular location.

1. Absolute Restriction
United States of America, United Kingdom, Spain, France, and Italy.

One problem I can think of is your internet service provider that restricts you from accessing the Roobet website.

As a newbie I kinda like investing in projects that are audited atleast so back to my question, USDT is the biggest stable coin right?
If you're thinking about investing in USDT for the long term, I recommend reading this:
- [UPDATED] PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even in Your Own Wallets

Also last month, there was news that Tether had frozen $160 million in USDT on the Ethereum Blockchain[1] without disclosing any public information about the addresses that had been blacklisted, which I find to be something suspicious..
