Hey there TryNinja, I have one question for you.
How is it possible for me to search specific terms from title of topics I or any other member created?

For example, I want to search the term ''moderator'' but only for topics I created, that means all other topic from other members would be excluded from results.
Maybe some checkbox or special filtering should be added for this case, unless there is already some workaround I am not aware off.
Any help would be appreaciated.

Our moderator is offline 106 days now.
Our moderator was removed and self-banned from forum and we are waiting for years to get a new one from theymos, so you better prepare to wait a bit more Cheesy

2284  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Exit scam - Betja went down without any explanation on: March 22, 2023, 04:03:11 PM
Even if Betja was a legit casino (and now we know it wasn't the case), this was not the way to shutdown website and don't post any announcement about that in forum or in social media.
I supported flag against them, but I don't think we are going to see those scammers back in forum ever again, unless they will perform rinse and repeat scam with new name.
I feel sorry for guys who lost money there, but they should never hold coins on websites like this.

Could you please visit the website again and tell me how it is now? I thin I made some big improvements and the speed should be much better now. Please let me know. Thanks!
Everything loads very fast and works great on my side, and I tested this on several different browsers (LibreWolf, Firefox, Brave).

I noticed you added nice option for book translations in other languages, and I know for one book called Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper there is translation in more languages.
Translated title is Digitalno zlato:

PS
Maybe you can use Goodreads website to find more books about Bitcoin.
I just find one after few seconds search called Bitcoin Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, and it's not available on your Bitcoin Bookstore website Wink

2286  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Deflation in signature campaigns on: March 21, 2023, 11:24:52 PM
And one last question. The CM campaign paid for a maximum of 50 posts per week, while the rest (except Stake.com) pay for a maximum of 25. Do you think this will lead some people to try to build up an alt account so that in the future they can get paid for two campaigns for a total of 50 posts per week?
There was always cheaters and alt accounts abuse in forum, and this is not related with payment or number of posts.
I prefer campaigns that don't have strict limitation and that are giving more freedom to people, but this can be abused like anything in real life.
Few years ago if I remember correctly, someone was caught cheating even in ChipMixer campaign and this was all happening during the time of highest rates CM ever paid.
If I remember correctly it was identified that this guy was legendary member figmentofmyass and he used several accounts to cheat in ChipMixer campaign, and this lasted for months, maybe even years.
Members figmentofmyass, squatter and exstasie were all in CM campaign in the same time, but he controlled more accounts:

"I'd like to give the t-shirt I won to a Newbie who lives in the same country as me"....
I don't think your are the only guy in bitcointalk forum from same country, but they could also send that same t-shirt to any neighboring country PO Box of mysterious person, since there are no real borders in EU  Wink

I also wouldn't trust passwords created by a password system, because if a system can create them, it can also crack them.
LoL, but you brain is also a system, and when it breaks that means you don't have any backups.
You can do whatever you want, but most cases of people losing passwords and bitcoin keys is when they tried to act smart creating their own ''systems''.

Either way, you can rest assured that I have my own password model, different in many aspects from those discussed here, which, as you may understand, I will not share here. Wink
Sorry but I have to say that you are making perfect recipe for disaster with your unique password model, whatever that is.

Danas ću pregledati sve prijedloge za nove uređaje koje još treba dodati. Hvala svima na strpljenju. Smiley
Konačno! A ja sam mislio pitati theymosa da ti preimenuje account iz FatFork u LazyFatFork ili LazyFork.
Ako može jedna mala ispravka, za Keystone hardverski novčanik još stoji web stranica za starog proizvođača Cobo, ali oni više nemaju nikakve veze s njima.
Još jedna stvar, postoji jedna zanimljiva spreadsheet tablica koju je napravio član maxirosson, možda možeš dodati link u prvi post za više informacija o hardverskim novčanicima:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-8DLbhxtOcDEBPl8-IAGWaoyx1H02JSz9hADCgAGyCo/edit#gid=0

Ja trenutno radim na projektu za testiranje i procjenu trajnosti hardverskih novčanika, ali to je lakše reći nego učiniti.  Tongue

Hvala Rikafip na još jednoj dobroj analizi i statistici!
Sviđa mi se ono što vidim, SirJohnVonSlotty i JooBra su u top 6 naših najaktivnijih čalnova i napisali su više postova od mene Smiley
Ne znam kako je bilo u starijim analizama, ali mislim da ovog puta imamo i više aktivnih članova, a brinem se samo za sbogovca koga nema... možda je njegova nuklearka prestala raditi i nema struje Wink
2290  Economy / Exchanges / Re: PeachBitcoin P2P mobile app on: March 21, 2023, 12:58:24 AM
It look like more a LocalBitcoins alternative than Bisq, but still welcome in our industry I would say. There is no KYC because Switzerland is not bothering with ID verification.
They ask verification for larger amount of money, I think for more than 1000 CHF per day traded you need to do verification anywhere, and you can easily override that in Bitcoin meetups.

There is for exemple a popular app there called Relai we can buy or sell BTC without giving your ID
I know about Relai but I think you can only use bank account for trading, in PeachBitcoin there are much more options, and they are open to adding new payment option specific to certain country.
Bisq is better than Peach in many ways, but I can't easily use it on smartphone, and I think they said it's not even in their roadmap to make something like that.
However, I don't think Peach can fully replace Bisq, and they are still in beta phase so bugs are always possible.

App looks interesting and could be used (at least speaking from my pov) for example when you are in a different country and you have to sell some bitcoin ASAP, but for domestic use here in Croatia we have local TG groups where you can do the same thing.
It's good to have options to choose, and people should be able to try what works better.
In Peach app is much harder to get scammed by someone because multisig setup is used, and you can trade with someone in person or make remotely (paypal, banks, gift cards, etc.)
2291  Economy / Exchanges / Re: General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs hacked for $1.5 M on: March 21, 2023, 12:48:12 AM
As the title says General Bytes (largest BATM manufacturer in the world with more than 9k machines) BATMs were hacked, and unkown attacker stole 56.28 BTC worth ~$1.5 million.
Hacked?! There is something fishy about this story Roll Eyes
If I remember correctly, there was recently another case of another big Bitcon ATM shutting down their service, so I am starting to think all BitcoinATM companies are under attack by gov-agencies and their ''hackers''.
Let's see if General Bytes will come back and reopen their service or it is shut down forever, but other BATM operators need to seriously improve security to avoid this remote attacks.
2292  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin Community Chain KCC on: March 21, 2023, 12:39:42 AM
Has anyone used KCC to transfer Bitcoin?? 
No.
My advice: Don't use this crap.

However it seems I have a lot to learn here, so if I don't use the official Bitcoin network, then I'm holding a copy effectively rather than the real thing, collaterised against something else entirely???  This is bewildering but need to understand what I'm doing before choosing a network.
Just use Bitcoin mainnet and forget about all this fake tokens on different centralized chains.
There is no ''community'' in  KCC community chain, it's all operated by few people that are probably tightly connected with exchange owners.
You are going to pay low withdrawal fee today, but tomorrow you could be paying much higher price when they shut down their nodes/chain and tokens go to zero.  Tongue

and as for Tether .... ETH, TRX, SOL, ALGO, KCC, EOS, Arbitrum, Optimism, XTZ   Huh Huh Huh
I don't trust Tether at all in any chain.
It' can be useful temporary in some cases, but we saw what happened with USDC, BUSD and other dead ''stable'' coins.
You should never hold any stable coin long term.
2293  Other / Meta / Re: [Guide] Use Bitcointalk (more) privately on: March 21, 2023, 12:14:33 AM
I decided to compile a list of sensible advice that forum users can take to improve their privacy. More suggestions are of course welcome!
I assume that various AI programs are already mass collecting information for anything related with specific IP addresses, names, usernames and style of writing.
Anyone that is using modern smartphone is in much worse situation for privacy and Tor on Android or iOS is not as good as on regular computers, plus there are many other things smartphones record about users (like we saw in recent CM incident).
My main suggestion is to stop using smartphones and switch back to old mobile phones if you care about privacy, but if that is to drastic than use de-googled phone (GrapeheneOS is interesting).

Full IP addresses and geolocation data retained for months or even years. Your posts are [4-6] archived basically forever.
This is happening for almost all websites and forums, so it's even worse if someone used same real IP address on multiple websites.
Maybe you can add suggestion for people to use temp emails, or services that allow creation of alias and additional email addresses.
It would be perfect to self host your own email address, as we already saw how Proton mail and other ''private'' services can give all information to authorities.

Ironically: mix, tumble, CoinJoin or submarine-swap your campaign funds to a Lightning wallet. Anything that improves your on-chain privacy.
+ Joinmarket (jamapp.org)
+ Mercury wallet (second layer Bitcoin privacy)
+ Ironically XMR

For exactly this reason, I've refused physical prizes that I was offered, and never bought collectibles. It's unfortunate, but each time a "Trusted member" turns out to be a scammer I'm very happy I kept this part of my privacy.
You could eaisly use secondary accounts for purchasing stuff from forum... and I don't mean LeyoceV Mobile  Cheesy, but some random newbie account.
2294  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: using same address twice on: March 20, 2023, 11:30:09 PM
whats wrong on sending btc twice or many times from same address , someone told me that the publickey point which starts with 04 is shown while transacting and thats bad for security of the account
There is no ''account'' if you are using non-custodial wallet, and security is not affected at all with sending coins from same addresses, but maybe privacy can be affected, if you are not doing good address/change management.
Reusing addresses for receiving coins can be even worse, that is why it's recommend to generate new address each time you want to receive payment, unless it's unique donation/payment address.
2295  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: local help to learn about running my own node? on: March 20, 2023, 11:23:16 PM
1- Since I had a windows 10 machine, I just downloaded that exe and ran it.  Is there a compelling reason to wipe the machine, install linux and run that instead?  Note: this machine is dedicated to just being a node, so I don't do much else with it other than browse bitcoin topics. (pc is an older core I7 w/12gb ram and 1.8tb ssd for the bitcoin data
Yes there are many reasons why Linux is better in everything compared to wInD0ws OS.
Linux is open source, nobody is going to spy on everything you do, you don't have to pay anything and you don't have to use pirated software because Linux is free, it's easy to install and usually there are no separate drivers to install.
For older computers Linux running Bitcoin node Linux is much better because it can use less resources if you choose lighter distribution and desktop environment.

2 - Is there a place where I might find an experienced person to provide some guidance and education regarding running a node?
You are allegedly running Bitcoin noe for months and you are now asking for guidance and education...
There is no nothing complicated about that, and g00gle AI can answer most of your questions already.

4 - Is there a consensus here are the best way to setup and maintain multisig?
Oh it's multisig guy again Smiley
No there is no concensus about that and your writing style and questions looks very familiar... I don't think using alt accounts in this way is going to be beneficial to you in any way Tongue
How many forum accounts you made so far?
2296  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: [VELIKA LISTA] Hardverski novčanici (80+) on: March 18, 2023, 08:37:57 PM
Dok strpljivo čekam da FatFork konačno ažurira ovu temu... prijavljujem još jedan novi hardverski novčanik s imenom IceCase.
Nema toliko informacija o IceCase novčaniku i još nije dostupan za prodaju, ali znamo da je sličan kao smartphone, ima kameru, bateriju i EAL5+ ili EAL6+, wifi vezu i podržava više od 1000 kriptovaluta.
IceCase ne izgleda kao baš pouzdan proizvod, i čini se da se ovaj uređaj proizvodi u Bjelorusiji, ali mi samo pratimo stanje svih hardverskih novčanika na tržištu.

2297  Economy / Exchanges / Re: PeachBitcoin P2P mobile app on: March 18, 2023, 07:38:27 PM
But this is a good platform tho. Where did you find it in the first place?
I first heard about Peach Bitcoin from bitcoiners on Twitter.

Why didn't they put a whitepaper containing important information about their platform, application, and team?

Whitepapers are usually released by shitcoins nowadays and I never saw a single business or wallet releasing that, it doesn't make any sense to do it.
They are registered company and they are not trying to hide from anyone, there is clear limitation for amount of money you can exchange per day.

The last thing is that I could not download the application from Google Play or the App Store because the application appears to have been deleted or does not exist. Did you download the APK file from the PeachBitcoin website?
It works just fine for me bothon google play and direct APK file from their website.
2298  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] ChipMixer.com - Bitcoin mixer / Bitcoin tumbler - mixing reinvented on: March 18, 2023, 06:52:03 PM
What's next? KYC on Tor Browser so websites don't have to show a captcha anymore? This completely defeats the purpose.
They are already announcing KYC procedure is being prepared now for accessing internet only with new digital identity (for our ''safety'') that is connected with CBDC and all your data... I am sure everything will be ''safu''  Roll Eyes
This shit is much bigger than chipmixer, and I really can't understand brainwashed baboons who are happy about this situation, because tomorrow they can say we are all criminals just for using internet.
My prediction is that we have few years max to resists and reject all this idiotic new rules that are coming, and I don't know if we could even use Bitcoin if digital identity is mandatory for internet.

So, in summary: I can't think of a good reason not to merge this patch, it seems like a strict improvement to me.
I would agree with you and my suggestion is to try contacting theymos with personal messages and ask his opinion about this patch.
He probably doesn't follow non-stop everything that is happening and maybe he missed this one.
I think I remember you had other patch proposals, so better to send one message for all of them, maybe he picks one that he likes most  Wink
