Il tot pandeam si eu Probabil e o chestiune de ora/orele la care ne uitam. Mie mi-a sarit in ochi. Nu il pandeam in mod special, ca ma asteptasem sa mai astepte cateva zile dupa tombola 499... Si, dupa cum anticipasem amandoi, a meritat asteptarea! Da, frumoase premiile! Ce premiu iti place cel mai mult? Eu unul mi-as dori (1) masinuta (ca de obicei, de altfel  ), (2) card-ul cu insertia "Don't get Yogged" sau (3) portofelul hardware. As prefera aceste premii chiar si inaintea unei monede incarcate cu BTC  Mi se par mult mai atractive. Desigur, n-as zice nu oricarui premiu, daca ar fi sa castig, dar cele 3 imi plac cel mai mult. Masinuta e in top si la mine. Urmeaza moneda incarcata (desi nu planuiesc sa rup sigiliul) si cardul "Don't get Yogged". Portofelul hardware nu ma prea atrage, ca am unul, iar KeepKey nu e mai bun decat ce am , asadar, las' sa aiba si altii, sa-si tina banii in siguranta! Sa fie cu noroc! Sa ne fie la toti cu noroc! |

Of course, it was no joke, but a written agreement. If saxydev considered it a joke then, again, it's his fault and, once more, he has to be responsible for the consequences of his actions.
OK, OK, you convinced me. I'll support too the tag. |

I find it interesting that only newbies with one post are praising this exchanger.
It smells of accounts made by exchange's owner for promoting it. This is at very least shady...
I tend to agree with the established members of the forum: this is most probably scam, please be careful!

Din cate stiu nu avem in sectiunea romaneasca vreun tutorial de LN, dar nici acesta nu se doreste a fi un tutorial, mai ales ca eu sunt cel care intreaba.
Treaba sta in felul urmator: am citit din cand in cand pe ici-colo despre LN, mi-am facut niste idei (unele mai bune, altele poate chiar gresite), dar, spre rusinea mea, nu am folosit niciodata.
Si cum toate au un inceput, am zis ca nu ar strica sa avem un schimb de opinii aici, mai ales ca in sctiunea internationala fie o sa se bage vreunul sa ma trimita la topicul cel mare si exagerate de stufos (parerea mea), fie sa inceapa sa zica ca "LN nu e BTC" si.. stiti povestea si personajul.
Intrebarile ar fi cam asa:
Ati folosit careva LN? Din ce portofel ati folosit (local, sau cu cont pe vreo platforma? In caz ca ati folosit local, aveati serverul vostru local sau de pe net?)
In functie de portofelul folosit puteti sa imi dati un exemplu de pasi (foarte pe scurt)?
Eu sunt un pic timorat de LN.
Despre Electrum am mai citit si nu m-a convins: nici nu stiu daca serverul meu de Electrum (un amarat de Electrs local) e bun pentru asta, nu cred ca e..; server extern de Electrum mai degraba evit sa folosesc; si daca as folosi server extern ar insemna sa deschid un canal, iar aici intervin probleme de incredere, de fonduri blocate, de canal deschis disproportionat (o sa fie fonduri doar pe partea mea, deci pot primi bani doar daca am trimis intai) si mai stiu eu ce surprize (trebuie oare portofelul sau serverul lasat pornit 24/7? la un server extern nu am control!) plus tehnologii (habar n-am ce e trampooline sau LND).
Blue Wallet ofera portofel pentru LN, dar spun clar si direct ca e in custodia lor. Momentan pare o solutie de compromis care ma atrage, ca fiind vorba de sume mici, nu ar trebui sa fie probleme. Dar nu am folosit.
Na, cam asta este varza de informatii de la mine din cap. Nu am pretentia ca cineva sa o desluseasca. Dar daca ati folosit LN, m-as bucura de cateva cuvinte/directii sa invat si eu asta...

As an advice, you may want to transform the first 10 entries also into double digits, else some may think they get some unfair advantage.

Imho the math will always tell you it's not worth it. It's up to you, if you have another hash rate on pools and want to gamble some TH. Because it's gambling. Some, few, get lucky. The rest.. are not in the news.

Trezor first suggesting for replacement is Bitwarden, but I would strongly suggest you first try KeePass I've used both. For completely offline use KeePass is just fine. For those who want a password manager with a server for multiple devices/platforms, ..I do like Bitwarden and it's open source too. Of course, everybody should be careful what's he's storing on the internet. |

Total Newbie. Apologies for a dumb question. Please help.
I've been sitting on a BTC wallet and a 'legacy' BTC address since 2009. The wallet starts with the number 1.
It's a bitcoin-qt wallet and I've just opened it. It was over 730 weeks behind. There is an orange header at the top of the wallet with a message
"URGENT: Alert key compromised, upgrade required"
Do I need to do anything other than let it sync? How would I update the wallet?
Updating an old wallet can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be. Depending on the type of wallet, you'll want to take certain steps to ensure you are keeping it safe and secure. For leather wallets, make sure to regularly clean it with a damp cloth to remove any dirt and grime. It's also important to use a leather conditioner to maintain the leather and keep it from drying out. If you have a wallet made from synthetic materials, use a damp cloth to clean it but avoid using any chemical cleaners. If the wallet is starting to look worn out, use an appropriate patch to prevent further damage. Finally, you'll want to make sure your wallet is up to date with the latest security features. This may include RFID-blocking technology, a locking system, or a tamper-resistant zipper. By taking the proper steps, you can make sure your wallet remains safe and secure. I've reported it, so you may not see this gem for long. So, guys and gals, if you don't want to have problems with your bitcoin wallets, make sure you clean them properly and use leather conditioner! |

Let's say you have 3 drives X Y Z
X has 100 GB of free space you would be ok using for the blockchain
Y has 300 GB
Z has 100 GB
Would it be possible to tell the client, "allocate 100GB to X, 300GB to Y, 100GB to Z" and have the files downloaded and verified in the right order?
And you could just keep adding further drives in case you ran out of space. Right now if you run out of space you have to buy a bigger device that allows at least 500GB at least once in case you used pruned mode, but for someone that wants to keep the entire blockchain this would be good. It would also give some usage for smaller drives you don't use much.
As said, drives are cheap. So there's no reasonably good reason for implement anything like you said. For now there are settings in config for having different folders in different places or you can use symlinks. However, this means that you'll still need a drive for storing the blocks folder, which is ~477 GB and another drive(s) for the rest. Right now getting a HDD for the bulk of data (I've bought not long ago a 2TB a CMR HDD exactly for this) is not expensive and, if you set up the chainstate (and indexes) stay on SSD (at least temporarily) the IBD is also relatively fast. So imho doing odd setups with the HDDs for the sake of free space for bitcoin doesn't worth it. |

Becoming rich is not that difficult, in the big scheme of things. One good idea, a bit of luck, or an incredible skill (think of Leo Messi) can lead you to become very rich.
The difficult part is staying rich. Securing such a luck to your heritage.
This is what Bitcoin si for.
I beg to differ. Yes, being in the right place at the right time, have the right idea, luck, skill... these are not things that come easy. Just think if Leo Messi would have been having an accident and lose a leg. Great skill gone down the drain. And many are in similar situation, had some of the ingredients, but didn't get them all or didn't mix them well. Imho it is difficult to get rich. Staying rich is imho the easier part. Having the money you can hire the right people who - for the right salary and fees - will grow that money in ways you could not even imagine. Bitcoin can be both. Imho it still can be the tool to get wealthy without having the right skill, knowledge, idea or connections, just now one obviously needs significantly bigger starting funds than he needed 5-7-10 years ago. And clearly it can the tool for securing one's wealth. Buying at least 10-20 BTC is already something significant for us, but for wealthy people it's not; and even more, they don't care that much of the price fluctuations, not on short term. But, if somebody rich has hired the right people, he already have bitcoins in his portfolio, maybe even without knowing it. |

bitcoin este mai mult decit un mijloc de plata/schimb virtual este un ideal,un obiectiv eliberarea de controlul si comisiile bancare si de controlul tranzactiilor
Multumesc de postare. Mi-a aratat ca uitasem complet sa-i raspund lui Gazeta Da, Bitcoin e mult mai mult decat o moneda virtuala si mult mai mult decat un "instrument investitional". Bitcoin este anti-cenzura, intrucat scopul Bitcoin este de la inceput eliminarea intermediarului (adica a celui care poate sa cenzureze). Dar cum pentru majoritatea tot ce zboara se mananca, nivelul intelectual global (ma refer la internet si finante) este la nivelul de a trage cu arcul dupa avioane. Bineinteles, totul va fi facut cat mai subtil cu putinta, pentru a nu se scandaliza poporul. Asta nu inseamna ca nu se va face, ci se va face. Dar incercand ca un numar cat mai mic de oameni sa bage de seama.
Nu m-ar mira sa plateasca pe unii inclusiv sa posteze inclusiv pe bitcointalk in favoarea banilor digitali emisi de stat(e). Vad unele postari (in sectiunea internationala) care ma duc cu gandul ca poate ca deja au si inceput asta... Asa este. Lipsa de constientizare a situatiei adevarate este la cote alarmante. Ii vad pe multi bucurandu-se la titluri de stat Eii,, aia cu titluri de stat sunt relativ putini. Sa vezi in randul pensionarilor. Imi spune mama, e jale.. ea este practic (aproape) singura de acolo (din acea mica localitate) care intelege ce i se intampla. Restul exulta de bucurie ca PSD-ul le-a marit pensia. Ce conteaza ca si marita, tot nu le ajunge? Oricum, suntem pe drumul cel bun. De anul trecut incocace cam toate produsele si-au dublat pretul. Daca mentinem ritmul acesta, in curand vom ajunge iar la 20.000 lei pentru o paine, si atunci va fi nevoie sa intervina iar statul, sa mai taie niste zerouri din pix. Dar noi de ce nu putem taia niste zerouri din pix la un credit la banca, de pilda? Sau la plata intretinerii? Cand era Dragnea aproape sa ajunga presedinte era o gluma ca o sa ne imbogateasca pe toti si o sa faca salariul de 1000 EUR sa ajunga la 10000 lei. Dar, cum spuneam, masa votanta nu intelege... Asa este. Insa, totodata, pot sa le faca si viata grea celor care vor ramane adeptii banilor de hartie... Sunt tot felul de parghii. De la "plantarea" unor oameni ai sistemului in diverse puncte ale tarii, care pur si simplu sa refuze sa te serveasca E riscant. Adica omul poate fi reclamat si... sper ca totusi justitia sa nu fie complet sub bocancul politicului. Plus ca in Cucuietii de Munte, cat timp nu este internet, nu au ce sa ceara. (Fac o paranteza: sa nu uitam si de legea "anti-fumat" (in spatiile inchise) sustinuta de doamna deputat Aurelia Cristea. Nu despre lege vreau sa vorbesc, nici despre cat rau face fumatul. Ci despre cum a stabilit dansa ca un spatiu este inchis: spatiul inchis este cel "care are un acoperis [...] si care este delimitat de cel putin doi pereti". Deci, prin puterea legii, un deputat rescrie legile fizicii. Daca consideram un paralelipiped ca fiind un spatiu inchis (am ales forma aceasta geometrica intrucat este cea mai apropiata de un balcon -- locul unde se duceau multi sa fumeze, pana la aparitia legii), atunci vorbim despre un corp cu 8 fete laterale. Este nevoie de 8 fete laterale pentru a inchide un spatiu. Legea romana poate inchide, insa, acel spatiu, folosind doar 3 laturi. Hai, patru, considerand si podeaua. Cum este posibil sa inchizi un spatiu cu patru laturi? Cum este posibil ca legea unui stat sa fie peste legile fizicii?
Am facut paranteza ca o paralela la ce scriam mai sus, referitor la faptul ca, atunci cand ai puterea, poti stabili (tot prin lege), sfidand orice lege a matematicii, ca 10.000 = 1. Analog, prin lege, un spatiu se inchide doar cu patru laturi. Daca ar auzi, Aristotel, Euclid si alti mari matematicieni ai lumii, s-ar rasuci in mormant.)
Cred ca este aproximativ asemanator si in State cu faza asta. Dar na, la noi e mai simplu, nu vezi ca ne conduc doar tractoristi cu diploma copiata? (Cu scuzele de rigoare pentru tractoristi, am avut si eu in familie si este o munca onorabila, cat timp se ramane la tractor.) |

I agree POW > POS by far I just think that POW may also be limiting the potential of decentralized currency in its own way.
It seemed promising a first but with all the required amendments is it really still the best solution out there or is it time to rethink the base principles of consensus.
POW has indeed the theoretical capacity of getting centralized by miners migrating where they can get more profit (cheaper electricity, lower taxes, maybe solar/wind power). But this is the theory. In reality the miners are pretty well spread, much better than 5 years ago. In reality the miners can pick the pools they want and I don't see why miners would be dumb and endanger Bitcoin (and their revenues) by using all of them the same pool (and even trying 51% attack, which would clearly bring the price down). Actually I've seen - not in case of Bitcoin - one pool getting over 51% hash rate and still not attempting anything fishy. Again, staying honest usually pays off better in this business. Or.. do you see other issues which you expect us to guess?! |

1. Will Bitcoin ever fall to zero someday?
2. What happens if it ever falls to zero?
Your logic is faulty imho, sorry. And I will tell you how I see it. If ever (yes, the chances are less than slim, but still) Bitcoin falls to 0, that will be the result of something, not the trigger to something. It would be the result of people losing interest, maybe because of some error we cannot foresee, maybe because something much better was created. So the answers would be: 1. Most probably no. 2. Nothing special. The relevant things have already happened by then. |

I am going to donate % of Bitcoin I receive from saxydev to randomly selected members who wrote in this topic before this post, so we can have nice party time  Come on, you didn't realistically expected him to pay, didn't you? And, as Loyce said, is somewhat a gray area there. So imho it make more sense you just tag him properly instead of pursuing a flag, since a tag is clearly your opinion. I don't want to be one of his customers, clearly, since whatever he tells today may not stand tomorrow, but, again, that's not the material for a flag. |

I will only add to what o_e_l_e_o already said that imho best would be if you make a separate/safe backup of the wallet file and store it safely before doing anything else (including upgrading Bitcoin Core).

Why the hell are they using the word " its unregulated " as an excuse but still take money from people?
 next time a politician comes asking you to vote for him, as him exactly this. You will most probably get a non-answer consisting in 1000-words of utter bullshit, but it should be fun. My answer is: because politics is one, reality is another and all governments need money, no matter what. |

...* Always use messages signed with your address and ask the same from the parties of the deals. Make sure the parts are aware that only such signed messages are meaningful. Impersonation is a big risk in your business. ... Newbie question: What kind of messages does this refer to exactly, do you mean messages and PMs on this forum? If so, sign how, is there a SMF or forum specific mechanism for that, and how do I prove my public key, if it's going to be safer than my forum login? Sorry for my ignorance I've said it, but it seems that you've ignored the most important part. Bitcoin allows signing a message. If you own a bitcoin wallet you can sign a message with one of the addresses of that wallet (actually, better said, with the private key of such an address). So best is that all parts of the deal have bitcoin addresses staked (you'll need to learn to sign a message, you'll need to also take a look onto this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.new#new ) and sign their deal related messages from those addresses (maybe also stating "current" date/time). So no, it's not a SMF mechanism, it's a Bitcoin mechanism we also use for proving ownership of bitcointalk accounts in case of troubles (this topic can be informative too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436734) |

I just banned it. Haven't seen this scam before but I'm sure they will use alts to try do the same.
At least we can hope that maybe the alts won't be so old accounts (unless hacked and/or bought), hence they'll be much less credible. |
