What is a safe way to reset my current password if I have forgotten it? I am still able to get in from an old computer where I had stored my password in the browser. I seem to recall that trying to reset via email may cause problems and could in fact lock me out.

It is best to just take the time to memorize the seed words of your actual wallet. It's not really that difficult. If you can't do that, there are other methods you could use to hide the words in plain sight - for instance you could scatter them within the text of an email or online document in a way that only you know how to retrieve. This way you could reset the wallet each time you need to go through customs. In many countries immigration and customs agents have the authority to search electronic devices. If they ever demanded to see the contents you can then show them a wallet with 0 BTC.

The OP is old news, but still I wish that companies would quickly move away from the stupid habit of using SMS or the user's mobile number as a means of implementing 2-factor authentication or otherwise verifying their identity. A system is as secure as the weakest link and mobile phone-based authentication is as weak as it gets. Phones can be lost, phones can be stolen, SIM cards can be swapped, phone company employees can be bribed, etc. Do you trust the safety and security of your multi-million dollar account to the integrity of some phone company associate?

Just do away with mobile phone-based verification already!

Why don't you explain how the decryption part works. You have this blob of encrypted data and nothing else. How does it work?

Furthermore, there are scammers that open 100 accounts and trade among themselves and give each other good feedback. After 6 months, those accounts have good reputations and the scammer would burn them all with exit scams - usually buying BTC for PayPal and then doing charge backs claiming that the charges were not authorized.

This won't be possible if each account is tied to a unique person which is not possible without KYC.

Not so sure about decentralizing mining. I've always thought that Zhan has lately been trying to diversify the company away from mining. If anything this would re-focus Bitmain's efforts as an ASIC supplier.

No doubt. According to the waybill it was shipped for Bitmain c/o Flextronix. Probably costs a few bucks more for Bitmain to have Flextronics make them in Malaysia, but that amount means nothing for a $2K miner.

This still seems to be the case. I just received my order for a single S17 Pro via DHL processed through NY and was charged only 2.6% (approx. $67). Shipped from Malaysia. No 25% tariff. I paid DHL the 2.6% while the shipment was in transit.

I have another pre-order for a single S17e through UPS. Let's see how that works out.

Why wouldn't it be, if the Russian government were supplying the computers and paying for the electricity? Of course, going to jail ultimately isn't worth it.

I just cracked open an old paper wallet with an old Bitcoin private key from back in 2012. The key was generated using MultiBit Classic, long before it was called "Classic".

I had no problem importing the key into Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC wallets, and was able to move the BTC and BCH into modern wallets.

I am not sure what to do with the Bitcoin SV. Right now it is worth around $190 each so I don't want to just throw them away. I spent about 30 minutes Googling for an online Bitcoin SV wallet that would allow importing the key. Can anybody recommend such an online wallet? If possible, I don't want to install any Bitcoin SV wallet on my computer or phone.

I always thought that autofills key the passwords to hostname or domain name contained in the canonical URL. They are not tricked by phishing sites where the domain name is mistyped or simply looks the same visually to the real site.

Anyone have any additional info about this, particularly in regards to ID verification?


Exactly what are the volume limits? Anyone have any idea?

Too bad it wasn't 330 coupons.

I had to put a rule in my email to trash all emails from Bitmain.

Seriously, if you place large market orders on any exchange, Bitcoin or otherwise, you've got to be a moron.

Can we reduce Bitcoin's energy use? Sure, since proof-of-work essentially is a process that converts energy into something of monetary value, we can reduce energy use by lowering the value of Bitcoin. There are lots of things we could do to lower Bitcoin's value, though I am not sure that is something you'd want to do unless you were against it.

Money laundering is about turning dirty money into clean money so that you can openly spend it. How would you declare money on illegal income?

Happened to me too. I had 2 sets of orders for Dec 21-30 made about a day apart. They pushed back the second one about a month ago, and now they pushed back the first one.

I've made a number of transactions in the past week. The largest fee I've paid was $26 and I've never needed to pay $100. I've always combined small transactions my wallet periodically, so my transaction byte size is always small.

Even if you have many small transactions going to the same address you would still have to pay the fees to combine them when you later wish to spend them. The tx size is still based on the individual transactions going to that single address. So I believe your reason for wanting to do so (to save fees when you later spend these small transactions) is invalid.

His friend was a trader. He should have been be aware of the potential opportunity cost that he was taking away from the OP by borrowing the 0.1 BTC for a year. Unless there was a specific agreement stating otherwise the friend should repay the asset that was borrowed, not the cash equivalent from a year ago.
