Bitcoin is much more than just something you can invest into. From your question I could infer that you only care about the price. But since you are here for some time and already Jr Member, maybe you actually care about the extras too after all.

Then, unlike most of the other investments, the history has shown that Bitcoin - if you have the patience and the nerves to hold it for long enough - brings far better investment returns than the other things you can invest in.

Of course, please research more and get your own conclusions.

Of course that there are this kind of scams too, and the number of them is increasing. I've thought of them, but I tried to not give out ideas...
For now for such cases maybe a WhatsApp video call can still hold as proof... until deep fake can be much more widely used.

So you taken the name of the most well known Bitcoin wallet and made a scrypt altcoin with that name? Wow.
You may call it innovative thinking. I call it dangerously close to scam.

This needs imho a bump, hence I'll add an update of my situation.


Something bad has happened to my computer. Somehow a Windows update managed to make my Windows no longer start, no matter what I've tried. This means I had to reinstall and this means that I've lost my WSL / Linux under Windows along with what was installed there (an Electrs server).
After reinstalling Windows I've given Fulcrum another chance - it has a proper Windows exe after all - and right now I'm using only Fulcrum.

Some more details: during the past months I've also played with cables and I guess that one was not too good, the data from my external HDD got corrupted. That was the blockchain and the Electrs data. For quick block download I've set up all I've could to SSD and this was also an eye opener.

In my old setup Fulcrum was too slow simply because I've been using it from the external HDD (hats off, Electrs managed to behave well even in that setup). On SSD Fulcrum runs just fine.

My current setup has for Bitcoin data 3 folders symlink-ed to SSD (blocks\index, chainstate, indexes) and also Fulcrum.conf contains for datadir a folder on SSD. The total now taken on SSD is 204 GB, which I can manage. And with this setup it all runs just fine. Keep in mind that while bitcoind I run almost every time I open my computer, Fulcrum I open only when I need to open my Electrum, which is not that often. Still, it's okay.

So if you are under Windows and have some space on SSD, Fulcrum is definitely an option to consider for electrum server.

Let's say a very bad case of bad luck and every time and every laptop you try to use to read any of those USB key it breaks them. What then? How confident would you feel when the second one is already broken and you still didn't manage to make more backups? Yes, I know, it's extreme... Still, I recommend some physical means too as backup.

We are in 2024. USB is still widely used, but various flavors tend to change the trend. I would not be surprised if in 10 years already the USB port will not look like now. I expect USBC, for example for the port. Plus: 25 years ago CD/DVD was a thing, now it's no more; are you sure your kids or nephews will know - when the time comes - what to do with an USB stick? Will you be sharp enough in 20-30 years to change the storage (from USB stick) to something that will be then "in trends"?

I will only add this Star Trek classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hShY6xZWVGE

There are 2 components of the price: the price to get Bitcoin via PoW and the speculation "add-on". Tether part is speculation and can burst at any second (and it usually does in crypto winter).
On the other hand, the fact that the supply is fixed comes with acknowledging that bitcoin is very scarce, hence inviting the ones smart enough to invest in it. And from there the price grows in a correct, organic manner.

However, you may not care about this, or maybe you just want to troll. And a famous quote pretty much applies here:

Time: 9'

Most of the phishing I usually get is about things I don't have. But just one week ago I've received one that looked very convincing and almost got me... but my usual way to handle this stuff saved me and.. at least for phishing I do have an advice: don't ever click the links from e-mails, go instead directly to the related app or website and check there, usually you should have a message, warning, whatever. Else.. it was probably phishing.


For the cases they may e-mail (or phone!) the parents that you're in trouble... it's more difficult, indeed. The only idea I have is something I've heard of for keeping the smaller kids safe: discuss about a number, phrase, keyword, whatever: only if that is part of the e-mail or discussion it will be taken serious, else it can be considered fraud attempt. But, I know, this doesn't apply to all possible cases.
At least in case of arrest a phone call is permitted, right?

Cumva ma mira ca se ocupa asa incet cele 100 de locuri (pe de alta parte, mai mult timp de reclama pentru eXch la aceiasi bani  ), avnad in vedere ce premiu fain este, iar logo-ul eXch e un plus.
Cred ca singura problema - dar nu ai ce-i face - este ca oamenii trebuie sa dea o adresa de livrare daca au noroc si castiga (iar unii sunt foarte stricti la acest capitol).

Oricum, per total chiar imi place cum se descurca eXch. Merita suportul nostru.

While I don't fully agree with your trust in the USB keys (even if they're 3 of them), I do think that this "inheritance model" is better than the lock time approach.

Are we indeed talking about a significant amount that deserves the hassle of paid legal service, or are you talking about a hypothetical future scenario? (Clearly, you don't have to answer me on this, it's something you have to think/answer to yourself, you know..)

I guess that I'm missing something, since imho we have the same now: any contributor can upload his local files and start a new git. ...Just the change history will be gone.

On the other hand... I was thinking on forks of git where we take advantage of blockchains and... surprise, I've found out that there are already such projects, like GitTorrent where "Git objects are retrieved via the BitTorrent protocol and references are stored in Bitcoin transactions"^[1], or Git-Ssb (using Secure Scuttlebutt), or Mango "which combines Ethereum with IPFS or Swarm as a backend for Git"^[1]

Maybe other options are also there and this can be a next step. However, considering rather unlikely the scenario Bitcoin git ever gets threatened by US govt, I expect the devs will just leave it on GitHub for convenience.

It's an interesting setup and I kinda like it. And 3 copies sounds good.

Still... flash drives can get corrupted a bit too easy for my liking. I mean I had to reformat or throw away at least 10 USB disks in the last 20 years... and we're talking about very long time here, right?
This is the issue with electronic devices. They can get broken easier than more physical stuff.


I will add that age or an accident or stroke can make you forget the passwords/PINs you've used there.


These are the weak spots I've seen.

You can indeed install and run your own git server. But that will be just another centralized server to host the source code.

But for example a much better use of those idiotic inscriptions would be to store a snapshot/zip of bitcoin source code for every tag/release also on the blockchain.
Then seizing GitHub would set back everything only one step back (actually even less, since the devs prolly have their sources locally).
