I think that having a bitcoin address staked in the proper place in the forum (and obviously, keeping its seed/private key really safe) is the correct move. All the rest, including this 2FA, is just some nice additions.
If staking a Bitcoin address and a Bitcoin signed message is reminded in a notification for all new registered members in Bitcoin Talk, it will be useful for many new users.

I think it is more useful if it is not only an one-time notification after registration but also a pinned message for all users.

It is useful if 2FA, staking a Bitcoin address, a signed message is written in welcome message.

thank for the detailed explanation. I will go to take a look at the RBF feature
To use RBF feature, your transaction must be RBF opt-in.

Did you broadcast your transaction initially with RBF opt-in? If wallet you use has an opt-in RBF, your transaction will have it with default setting.

If you are unsure, you can copy and paste your transaction id to https://blockchair.com/bitcoin and click on Additional information and see at a row for RBF Enabled

If your transaction is RBF opt-in, it will show as Yes.

Hi. I first noticed this when I tried to copy my bitcoin address, and put it Blockchair. The address is not the one that should have been copied!
It is malware issue on your device. You have to wipe out that device or use a new device but let's spend your time to check your online habit that seems to be bad and unsafe enough to make your device infected with malwares.

Blockchair.com itself is only a block explorer and you don't lose your bitcoin by copy and paste your public Bitcoin address on Blockchair.com explorer or any block explorer.

Luciano Spalletti was an important actor in Napoli's success last season, he managed to turn Napoli into a club that was very difficult to beat and in the end he managed to become the best in Serie A after winning the Scudetto. After Spalletti left Napoli's performance gradually declined, his replacement as coach was unable to maintain Napoli's performance as they achieved success last season.
He is an important piece for Napoli success but he is not the only piece for that success and there are other staffs in Napoli and many contributions from their players. It's unfair to only name Kravatskhelia and Osimhen because other players made great contributions for their Scudetto past season. These attacking players themselves have worse performances in this season and they are part of reasons for Napoli's worse performances in this season. Not only their new coach Mazzari is responsible for this.

Quote
Now Napoli is in seventh place in the standings, this position is not ideal for a team that won the Scudetto last season. If his performance continues like this, his suffering will continue in the next match. Finally, Roma managed to humiliate Napoli 2-0 and force them to drop to seventh place. It took a miracle for Napoli to be able to return to competition in the top four.
They are at a bad position but chance is big enough for them because differences from top four to their temporary position are not too big. The bigger problem comes from Napoli, will they be able to improve their performances in coming months.

The defeat over AS Roma at Olimpico stadium is bad but it is not the end of this season for Napoli.
485  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 24, 2023, 11:16:20 AM
AS Roma victory cannot be predicted because after all, before the match started the fact that Napoli was also still quite favored to win based on the odds. That means, AS Roma and Napoli both have a chance to win in this match, because after all, AS Roma also got their first goal after Napoli played with only 10 players. Also, about AS Roma second goal also came after Napoli got a red card for the second time.
The match like this can change very quickly and some turning points can happen. Bove can make this match more easily for Roma but two of his shots failed to be goals for Roma. Napoli did not create too many dangerous chances in the match but the match generally was very balancing before the red cards for Politano and Osimhen. After those red cards, Roma was boosted with Mourinho's substitution decisions. Pellegrini scored a winning goal for them and with not too good defense system in this season, Roma only know they get three points when Lukaku scored a second goal.

Quote
So, with a goal that happened after Napoli got a red card then yes, it proves that Napoli has a chance to make the match end with a draw score. But yes, unfortunately Napoli failed to maintain their performance because they got a red card and obviously, by only playing with 10 and 9 players, it is natural that AS Roma won because if Napoli continued to play with 11 players of course AS Roma would also remain difficult to beat Napoli.
Napoli actually can get one point from the match but their players failed to control themselves and gave Roma great chances to win it. They have to go back to their home and train their players seriously about emotional and psychological control in important matches.

Barcelona must find a solution to increase the stability of its financial balance to avoid sanctions from UEFA. One of them is having a friendly match to help the club finances before it is due, Xavi admits that they are helping management by going on a friendly tour to get some money. The toughest sanctions await Barcelona if management does not act quickly, Xavi squad is threatened with being banned from appearing in the UCL for several seasons.
Barcelona got serious financial problems and they let Lionel Messi as well as some star players left their club recent years. They did not learn from their precious lessons by overpaying, betting too much and continue to buy some new star players with hope that those bets will help their club gaining good results, titles, go far in Champions League and get good income for their club finance.

If their results are bad, they will get bigger problems and will face with bankruptcy. They are on a verge of collapse and pressure to succeed in La Liga and Champions League is very huge.

I agree with you. Barcelona's problem is not only the front line. Their midfield and defense have performed brilliantly in previous seasons. But both the midfield and defense have been weak this season. What Barcelona need most now is to strengthen the defense. If the defense is strong, Barcelona's overall situation will change. Barcelona have talented players in the front line. But due to the weakness of the midfielders, Barcelona is not getting good performance from the front line players. Xavi still needs a lot of money to strengthen the team. But due to the financial condition of the club, Xavi is not able to strengthen this team.
They have problems with Lewandowski but it began with their strategy to rely on an old striker like him two seasons ago. It is predicted consequence if their dependence on Lewandowski is too big. They already started to give opportunities for more young players and gained some success with those youth players but traditionally Barcelona are not good with their academy to grow world class strikers.

They have to look at transfer market to find a good striker to replace Lewandowski. Meanwhile they will have to adjust their tactics and reduce dependence on the Polish striker.

Furthermore their problems in midfield especially defensive areas are not too small. Their defense system becomes more vulnerable in this season and they are paying cost for their weak defense.

Unbelievable performance from al hilal. I hear that al hilal has planned to add lukaku on its line up. Al hilal has prepared 60 millions offer for chelsea to get him. It will obviously make al hilal becomes even stronger than before.
Mitrovic was the most successful transfer from al hilal. It was not a problem if al hilal rejected many times by messi and it was also even terminate neymar from its club but al hilal got mitrovic which was able carrying the club alon.
I can't wait to see him to perform together with lukaku once al hilal will get him from chelsea.
Lukaku is not a loyal player type and he can move to any club that can satisfy his temporary needs. With deep pockets of Saudi Arabian clubs, they are able to bring him out of Roma and basically he only plays for Roma in a loan transfer from Chelsea.

The deal has to be made between Al Hilal and Chelsea that I believe will be easily done by Al Hilal and Chelsea. The rest is from Lukaku, will he want to move to Saudi Professional League. I think he has no big reason to refuse very good offer from Al Hilal when some star players already joined and are playing in this league. If Lukaku wins Europa League with Roma this season, he will have an opportunity to leave Europe with a big title. Surely it is not the same as Champions League but it is still one of most wanted titles for any player. If it happens, moving to Saudi Arabia and enjoying his life there is very good choice.

So far, Napoli looks like a more realistic contender for 4th place, but the fact that Bologna will be able to hold on to this position for a long time looks doubtful. Inter, Juventus and Milan will most likely not miss their places in the top 4. In the next round, Napoli will have to play with Roma and if they lose, their position will worsen significantly. Atalanta and Fiorentina also do not look like those teams that are ready to fight for the Champions League zone. From 8th to 4th place the teams are separated by only 3 points, so all these teams have a chance.
Bologna just got it after winning over AS Roma in the last match day of Serie A. From Bologna to AS Roma, from fourth to eighth positions, there are only 3 point difference and there are five clubs are fighting to get that position in a next match day. They are Bologna that will have to defend the position and four other clubs: Napoli, Fiorentina, Atalanta and AS Roma.

Bologna are playing well and the position is a recognition for their good performances but with big challenges from other four clubs and with their limited power, it's very difficult for Bologna to defend that position for a long time.

Believe it or not this is exactly what I did after I started investing in bitcoin. Well I'm not a rich person who can buy large quantities at once.
Dollar Cost Averaging is usable for everyone from small investors to big, whale, institutional investors like MicroStrategy and Michael Saylor.

You don't have to be a rich person to use DCA for your Bitcoin investment that is only a strategy and we all can apply it.

Quote
So I can only accumulate using the DCA method, which I actually only found out about recently.
Did you know two websites which are helpful for DCA?
https://dcabtc.com/
https://costavg.com/

Quote
Because previously I accumulated randomly and without good planning. Which makes me easily panic and stuff. But after I tried not to be greedy and only made small investments regularly, mentally I started to feel the benefits for myself. In the past, I easily panicked because maybe I put too much money into bitcoin investments. So sometimes I don't have enough money to meet my daily needs. And then I realized that was the wrong move.
DCA will help you to use your capital wisely and without emotional effects like panic or FOMO.

Use money to buy Bitcoin each week or each month and no other factors affect your buying decision. If you don't apply DCA, you will be uncertain in this volatile market between Fear and Greed.

Woah, After Napoli also Inter is out from the Coppa Italia.

What a strange turn of events.
It is good news for Serie A because with two defeats in Coppa Italia, both Inter Milan and Napoli can focus on Champions League where they are two representatives of Serie A in a round of 16. They will not have easy matches with opponents are Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Their sacrifice in Coppa Italia will help them in theory can play better in Champions League because they will no longer be distracted by Coppa Italia. Without matches in Coppa Italia, their players will have better fitness for coming two matches in Champions League.

Selling the best defender without a strong successor is a valid concern. A solid defense is often the backbone of successful teams, and misjudging the importance of maintaining defensive stability can have significant consequences. Defending the title feels harder, because the high expectation and anticipation are already there. It requires careful planning and strategic squad management.
It is common problem type with all non giant clubs because they are not familiar with feeling to stay on top of the league and their star players will always want to leave and join bigger clubs. They even don't have enough deep budget to satisfy more lucrative demands from their star players so usually they will lose best star players after one or two successful seasons.

If Napoli can complete this season in top four, it is their big achievement even they lose Scudetto to another club.
492  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: FOMO of bull market on: December 21, 2023, 12:45:24 AM
Let me guess, the coins that do that must be a shitcoin, they are the forgotten coins that could just resurrect from now where through some artificial pumping when other major coins/tokens have had their initial rise due to the pump. It's often interesting to see some of them pumped x2, x4, x5 and so on in this regard. I saw many of them that were sluggish in movement when the bull run happened in the past 4 months.
When altcoin season comes, many shit coins will be used for pump and dump games. If you join early before their pump games, and you can hold those shit coins, you get profit. If you ignored them months ago and now only consider to join because they rose a lot and stimulate your greediness, you might end with big loss.

After pumps, there will be dumps because they are two parts of pump and dump games.

Quote
But suddenly in December, they started moving dangerously upwards. It could only mean that people abandoned them and focused on the major initially and when they were done with the major, they started looking elsewhere to pump until they got to their turn. They often pump the low-value coins/tokens at that time and that explains why some of them could suddenly move over x10 in just a few days.
They fell in last three years since 2021 to 2023 and when they started their rallies, you should never touch those shit coins and short them. Your margin position will be very easily liquidated if you open a position that is opposite with the market trend, that is upwards now. Don't short because you can not know how high they will rise to before stop and start corrections.

If you miss their pumps, stay patient, observe it and the market, don't short.

It is bad enough to cry but problems appear to be fixed and I am sure Bitcoin developers can do it. Do you think without Ordinals, Bitcoin blockchain and the next bull run will be lack of interesting recipe.

Problems from Ordinals on Bitcoin mempools should not be underestimated because they are serious enough but do you think that what will happen if Bitcoin developers and community and figure out solutions and reach to a consensus to resolve it?

Moon we go.

Bitcoin miners and Ordinals guys will not like it but Bitcoin community are decentralized and I think we will see power of decentralization.

If anyone else ever says something negative about bitcoin, please put the following information and facts on the table: which institutions like Blackrock and CME and other very important exchanges are going to remove BTC ? Have warnings already been given about btc removal from central systems and exchanges somewhere?
Bitcoin is not perfect and developers have to know what Bitcoin needs to improve technical to do their programming works. Bitcoin is not perfect so you must have an open-mind to absorb negative discussions about Bitcoin but not all of them are telling the truth. However if you are close-minded, you will miss something important but I want to say about a more important thing for you, as a Bitcoin investor.

Think about long term, short term will not help you rich.

Quote
Since bitcoin is already associated with a very large capital, it must be announced prior to 2 years minimum that the removal of btc from an important exchange will begin at all.

Mate — if we know what's sure what will happen with extreme detail, we'd all be rich right now and chilling in some beach in the Bahamas. That's what makes investing easier and trading far harder — because while we can have an idea of the direction of an asset, that direction is mostly with lots of nooks and crannies.

So to answer your question: A LOT of volatility
A lot of volatility in coming months even some months after the halving, to shake all weak hands, all gamblers and speculators, who don't have enough experience in this market and who don't have good risk management for their capital, out of this market.

With those heavy elements, the market won't be able to take off around the halving and market makers will play their games to kill those investors, traders, speculators before their game actually kicks off.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 20, 2023, 02:38:25 AM
I see Real Madrid a bit above Bayern Munich. Real Madrid has some room for improvement while they have a decent level all the time, whereas Bayern Munich has some total failures. If they have one of those in the Champions League, it would be game over for them.
Bayern Munich got Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur but they can not dominate Bundesliga like they usually do. They did not spend big transfer money to buy Kane only to win Bundesliga but fail to dominate their domestic league is one of signals that their quality has problems in this season and this can cost them in Champions League when knock out phase is already in.

Real Madrid look to have a balanced squad between attacking and defense, old and young players but the recent serious injury of David Alaba is very unexpected and it might harm their strength in coming months.

Quote
But Manchester City isn't as stable as well. They are way more vulnerable than they have been last season. This season they have played several games where they lost dominance during the game.
I still consider Manchester City as the best competitor in Champions League even they shown some issues in Premier League. They have a deepest squad that can be so helpful for them in a long season. I also know in history there is only one club that can defend their Champions League crown, Real Madrid and Manchester City will be a second club can achieve it if they succeed in this season.

If you received the $50 in 25 seperate transactions of $2 each, the fees on the transaction will be higher than someone sending $100,000 which was received in a single transaction.
At current price of Bitcoin, $2 is bigger than a minimal amount of satoshi for dust attack that is a little bit more than $0.2 now.
What is meant by Bitcoin dust
Legacy: 546 satoshi
Native Segwit: 294 satoshi
Taproot: 330 satoshi

The total input numbers are used for one transaction (Sending) will increase its transaction size, that will increase it transaction fee.

https://bitcoinops.org/en/tools/calc-size/
With Legacy address, transaction type P2WPKH, you can see different in transaction size with same output number (1), and two different input numbers (1 and 25).

1 input: transaction size is 109.5 vbytes
25 inputs: transaction size is 1741.5 vbytes

The network does not recognize dollar equivalent of bitcoins, only separate transactions which form inputs. The higher the number of inputs the larger the fee.

Alaba's injury is considered quite serious, with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and he will undergo surgery in the coming days. This is an extremely heavy loss for Real Madrid as a torn ACL is the worst injury for an athlete. Alaba is expected to be out for 7-9 months, and the season is practically over for him from this December.
ACL injury sucks and Alaba is considered as Out of Season.
https://www.sportsgambler.com/injuries/football/spain-la-liga/

Quote
The absence of Alaba, I believe, will seriously affect Real Madrid's plans for the remainder of the season. He is currently the team's primary left-center back, pairing with Antonio Rudiger after Militao's long-term absence. Now, with Alaba's injury, Real Madrid has only two central defenders in the first team, Nacho and Rudiger. This is a thin squad, especially as they approach important matches in early 2024, such as facing Atletico Madrid twice in the Spanish Super Cup and playing against the league leaders Girona (February 11), not to mention the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
They have limited players for their central defender positions and with their busy schedule by playing in both Champions League and La Liga, fighting for titles in both competitions, Real Madrid will have to look at the transfer market in January to find a temporary replacement for Alaba. The replacement player can come to Real Madrid with a loan or a paid transfer but they will not want to spend too lucrative transfer fee for it and even can not convince other big clubs to let their world class central defender out.

Quote
It's likely that midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni will play as a center back in place of Alaba. Therefore, Real Madrid is likely to consider finding a replacement in the January transfer window to strengthen the defensive line.
If I am not wrong, Tchouameni is a defensive midfielder and he has never been used as a central defender.

Will the transaction fee will high if I send small amount under $50
Bitcoin transaction fee is calculated with this formula

Transaction fee (sat) = Transaction size (vbyte) * fee rate (sat/vbyte)

Transaction size will depend on some factors
- Inputs and Outputs. The more inputs and the more outputs, the bigger size.
- Transaction type. You can use Segwit address for less transaction size.
Why people should be using SegWit addresses

Fee rate will depends on network, miner capacity to confirm transaction and demand of Bitcoin users that cause Bitcoin mempools are clear or congested.
You can not control it and you only can choose a fee rate that is good for you.
https://mempool.space/
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),24h,weight
https://mempool.jhoenicke.de/#BTC,24h,weight

Bitcoin transaction fees - Everything in one

Bitcoin transaction fee does not depend on how big or small the value of your transaction. I mean you will have a same transaction fee for two transactions with same transaction type, same inputs, output numbers and same fee rate. Even transaction 1 has its value is $50 and transaction 2 has its value is $1M, transaction fee can be the same like $25. I think till this example, you get the answer.
