Coming from the latest submission of Kleiman's defense: ""Based on that list, expert analysis, and answers to the Bonded Courier interrogatories..., it appears that there are numerous issues that indicate that list may be yet another example of the Defendant’s submissions of forgeries and misrepresentations to this Court."

Better to trust Open Source hardware and software built mostly for the decentralized world. That is what the community should be seriously aiming for now. So don't be too complacent and let your security/privacy guard down if you must buy and use this phone/device.
Hopefully HTC will decide to open source the software it'll run on. I'm sure security experts will open up a device as soon as it hits the market, so I'll wait a bit before deciding to buy one. I do love what HTC is doing though. Their Exodus phones make it extremely easy for anyone to run a Bitcoin Core node.

Imagine Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin, minted a million Bitcoins, disappeared to 'move on to other projects', lost all of his private keys, lost his GPG key, lost access to any known email address and now comes back to sue 'Bitcoin' and all of its forks. If this was real, Satoshi is a lonely mother fraggin idiot! Hmmmmm, I guess it's not real and Craig Wright is a lonely mother fraggin idiot. Wrong He just manages to keep the muggles out of doing shit this time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ys4gxyw82w&feature=youtu.beSatoshi is much more intelligent than we ever might ve noticed You are talking about the part at 2:06:00 ff, right? This meta level theory makes absolutely no sense. Craig Wright is not the creator of the Bitcoin white paper and the Tulip Trust is a fake. He has no access to Satoshis coins and his GPG key and he is a scammer. hm - good you know all that. So you must be Satoshi then - at least hidden here. Right now, I ve not seen anyone claiming better in the real world, so go for I don't see ADG claiming to be Satoshi, just because he is pointing out that Craig Wright is an outright fraud.

Here's something interesting: if FortuneJack wanted to prevent money laundering (the "intention" of KYC terms) then why wouldn't they ask for KYC prior to a deposit as opposed to afterwards? You have two outcomes:
I'm not jumping in here to defend FJ or their ToS but asking everybody for KYC is a bad idea due to several reasons: - A high increase of costs (hiring compliance officers, KYC officers, personel to handle GDPR requests etc.) - They would need to (highly) improve their backend and storage capacities - They are responsible for all personal information they store. Being a large source of KYC information could attract attackers. There are numerous examples where KYC data was stolen. - Most of their 'customers' likely play with low volumes, making KYC/AML non-mandatory. I do agree that they need to be more transparant about deposit limits etc., for example mention that they'll ask for KYC when the total deposited amount reaches a certain limit.

While i agree there's ethical problem, IMO it's problem between ChipMixer and the user who wear copycat signature, all we need to do is let ChipMixer representative know about this problem. Wasabi is not a profitable service
While i doubt it's profitable, there's 0.003% coordinator fee. According to Chainalysis, Wasabi mixed $250,000,000 in 2019*. That means $7500 has been paid in coordinator fees, which seems pretty profitably to me . (totally not edited) $250 million times 0.003% is $7500. OTOH the 0.003% fee is per anonymity set and Wasabi uses 50+ sets by default, so it's a 0.15% minimum total fee, usually higher. $400-500k would be a more reasonable estimate, but that's just the revenue. There are costs/expenses for sure. At any rate, I'd say nopara73 claiming that he makes money is good enough to assume there is profit, and I'm sure he could pay for a signature if he wanted to, and I'm quite sure he's not paying for Gyrsur's copypasta signature. Shhhhh, I never said it was $750,000 . Here is the coordinator address: https://blockstream.info/address/bc1qs604c7jv6amk4cxqlnvuxv26hv3e48cds4m0ew (currently holding 75.88 BTC). They also raised $337,500 for a 4.5% stake in their company a while ago.

Yeah, it's somehow in a Slack room and can anyone really verify if that's from Faketoshi itself? Well, even if it's from him this guy clearly doesn't show any truthfulness on what he says probably it's time to ignore him in hostility. He can't even get the BTC he said he had lost. It's Faketoshi himself. They're calling it Metanet ( https://metanet.icu/) and you even have to get a paid membership in order to listen to his delusional rambling. Sounds exactly like something Satoshi would do /s.

It would've been honorable if the user PMed the signature designer first, but you can't prevent people from using the BB code. Campaigns could add a disclaimer in the OP but there would still be no way to enforce it. *source: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/chainalysis-most-mixed-bitcoin-not-used-for-illicit-purposesEDIT:

Litecoin is just as secure as bitcoin, Confused people think the hashrate matters, it does not as long as the miners waste security joining PoW pools, giving all of the power to the Pool Operator. Only 4 mining pools operators secure bitcoin from 51% attacks regardless of the energy wasted. Only 4 mining pool operators secure litecoin from 51% attacks regardless of the energy wasted. *Most PoS coins have alot more than 4 people securing their coins. * Wrong on so many levels. Bitcoin is the shitcoin losing over $12k per coin, since Jan 2018 Bitcoin is the #1 Shitcoin that has made the most people declare bankruptcy. Bitcoin is the Biggest Shitcoin of all! Lost $1400 in just the past few weeks. While most shitcoin have reached their ATL, Bitcoin is still up $1,400 YTD. At the next halving there will be another massive round of bankruptcies by miners. Hardly a success, when the majority involved go broke.
Just like the last two halvings? Bitcoin Bubble popped. Ponsi is over , just the crying is left. The only ones crying are the shitcoin shills, such as yourself. LN=Banking 2.0, If you going to use a Bank might as well use the normal banking system and quit lying to yourself. FYI: Altcoins not using segwit/LN are the last best hope for Satoshi's dream to be realized. LN/bitcoin users can just enjoy being slaves to the middleman/banks , what Satoshi wanted to free us from. Altcoin Ethereum processes more transactions on a daily basis than the dying bitcoin core shitcoin does.There are plenty of posts/emails showing that both Satoshi (not Craig, but the actual Satoshi), and people who were involved early, figured out that scaling would be better on a different layer. As I said before, go back to MetaNet and post your delusional nonsense there.

Easier still use an altcoin designed for micropayments. There are many to choose from. None of the altcoins offer the same level of decentralization and network security. https://howmanyconfs.com/ is a great example to show how insecure shitcoins truly are. Lightning Network already works pretty well for merchants. There is still lot to improve but Bitcoin is relatively young compared to the current monetary system. Shitcoin shillers will use this to push their repetitive narrative about LN. https://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/ is a great example how an entire city is starting to adopt Bitcoin/Lightning Network payments.

Simple, buy a hardware wallet. Coldcard even allows you to create PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions) to send transactions without connecting your Coldcard to the internet.

I've searched in the forum using the terms in the subject with no success (too generic and between quotes there are no matches) It doesn't seem to be a specific section either. Can anyone address me to some technical link, tutorial, discussion, ... ? tnx
The easiest way to perform chain analysis yourself is by using www.walletexplorer.com (created by a Chainalysis employee). Most professional software is really expensive and not accessible by anyone.

Will miners come together and roll back the blockchain? Craig Wright seems to think so, or is he spreading fud and lying again like usual?? i doubt that this will occur.
Craig has no idea how Bitcoin works (as he clearly demonstrates here).

Love the idea. Been wanting to make a digital version of this for a while now, but haven't had time to properly research it. This is a great way to gift BTC to newcomers and 'forcing' them to hodl.

I have no idea why but I can't open your links (using DuckDuckGo browser). Can you upload the screenshots on Imgur?

All price related discussions belong in the Speculation section. There are already plenty of similar topics opened there.

Hi Everyone, Recently, people have been giving Warren Buffet some heat because he said he didn't own any crypto, even though he was given some by Justin Sun. Our take is a little different than everyone else. We think Warren Buffet would simply rather be called a "forgetful old man" than support something he didn't believe in. Read all our thoughts on the situation.
Let me know if you guys agree or disagree! According to CNBC Warren Buffett was gifted 1 BTC during their 'meeting' and afterwards Buffett turned the wallet over to GLIDE Foundation as a donation.
