1761  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Hardware Wallet on: November 25, 2022, 09:28:20 AM
And i want to make a project of building an hardware wallet (something like Ledger )

The thing is that the linked DYI wallets don't have secure element chip. Ledger does. I think that this makes implementing "something like Ledger" could be a significantly more difficult task.
However, Passport also uses secure element. So my take is you can try to learn from all of those and make your own.

I am not that knowledgeable on the internals of HW, but maybe even Satochip DYI card and the related Git can be of help: https://satochip.io/product/satochip-diy-and-developer-card/ (although it worth mentioning that the advanced users tend to avoid the HWs that don't have their own screen)
1762  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Address keeps repeating on: November 25, 2022, 08:26:49 AM
Yes but if no one else is experience this (apparently only me) and I have already uninstall the wallet and reinstall it and the behaviour still the same, what should be causing the problem then?

My advice was to install an older version, like 4.3.1. It's probably this one, however, this is the 4.3.1 releases folder.
Maybe the change in the feature you've been using came with a bug and the expiry date may not taken correctly into account.
Did 4.3.2 fix any important bug that was affecting you? I guess not, so for now you'll be OK with 4.3.1.
It would be nice to report the issue, as already said. Plus you'll probably have to keep an eye and check whether one of the next versions fixes your problem.
1763  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Address keeps repeating on: November 24, 2022, 03:13:43 PM
On the previous electrum versions every time I created a new request to receive BTC, Electrum would always give a new unique address to the new request and also the request label I would create for my reference would show on history once funds received for that request.

It may worth mentioning that Electrum 4.3.2 has a change in its behavior, and may be exactly your "problem". The thing is that, from the others' point of view, this is a fix.

# Release 4.3.2 - (September 26, 2022)
 * When creating new requests, reuse addresses of expired requests
   (fixes #7927).

So if you want to take advantage of the older version's behavior, you'll need the older version, sorry. Or maybe BTCpay is what you actually need...


PS. If you have set all those to never expire, it may be a new bug though...
1764  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-11-24] Starling Bank bans Bitcoin transactions on: November 24, 2022, 02:22:51 PM
Is this Starling Bank somehow related to Santander? Because iirc Santander is blocking for some while the fiat transfers that are related to bitcoin trading.
I guess that they are afraid. I guess that they see bitcoin taking over "market share". They don't understand that their actions (ie forbid users do what they want with their own money) is actually the best advertising for bitcoin and against banks.

F1 had alot of sponsorships for cryptocurrency this race year.
Here are the more prominent ones if you watched any of the races this past year.

You forgot FTX on the Mercs Grin Grin
I'm sure they've payed quite a lot of money for the advertising be there (except the last ~2 races).
Of course, they'll probably be missing in 2023.



Edit: breaking news: according to Italian newspaper, Binotto is stepping down.

Mama mă-sii de engleză, că ne-a infectat pe toţi.  Acum mi-e ruşine că mi-am mai tras şi nume englez

Na, ca mi-a picat fatza. Nici macar nu stiam ca este de pe plaiurile mioritice Cheesy
Nu numele, hai sa nu exageram. Cand mi-am facut eu contul nici macar nu intelesesem ca acest NeuroticFish o sa imi apara peste tot Shocked

Legat de cuvintele in engleza in schimb, da, ai dreptate. Prea ne-am obisnuit cu ele. In plus, unele sunt si greu de tradus in romana (hash) sau suna ciudat (soricel sau mouse?  Grin). Ideea e sa ne straduim si atunci rezultatele vor fi bune si foarte bune.

pānă vă decideţi voi cum e mai bine.

Acel "v-am pupat" nu e rau, dar fiind probabil toti baieti pe aici, nici foarte bine nu este Grin
Dar, ca sa fiu corect, in general evit formulele de incheiere exact fiindca sunt si eu nepriceput in a incropi unul chiar bun. Asa ca o sa ma abtin de la "vot".

Oricum, ma bucur sa vad persoane noi care scriu in sectiunea romaneasca. Chiar te invit sa o faci mult mai des!
1767  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: i lost my btc on: November 24, 2022, 09:07:02 AM
Please help! I have sent my btc with a minimum commission fee 1sat. BTC went out from my wallet but transaction not confirmed (no-one confirmation) and on recipients wallet it shows but can't spend. More than 8 hours. What to do?

Option 1. Wait. The mempool is congested. Maybe keep an eye on https://mempool.space/ now and then. With some luck it may be confirmed before Monday.
Option 2. Increase fee, as nc50lc explained.
Option 3. You or the recipient do CPFP. That means to spend one of the unconfirmed coins (the recipient can spend with the right wallet software and the right settings), using a very high fee (to cover for the new tx and also for your 1sat/vByte tx too)


PS. Next time make your own topic, don't hijack others', especially since it's a different issue.
1768  Economy / Exchanges / Re: An Attempt to Bring Down Coinbase? on: November 24, 2022, 08:19:21 AM
Not to mention that CZ had the actual means to start the mass withdrawal. He had tens of millions of FTT worth almost $600 million. That's a huge leverage against FTX. He doesn't have this kind of tool against Coinbase. If he had, that FUD coupled with a huge dump could have annihilated another competitor.

Yep, he had the fuel, he lighted the matches...and even more, FTX proven itself to be just an ugly Ponzi.
On Coinbase, on the other side, he has nothing. He tried to convince the plebs come with the fuel, by showing them the matches. It didn't work out. I agree with this:

I think tweet from CZ was not ethical.

Of course, in the "wild west" of not really regulated businesses, this sometimes works.


Interestingly, if this type of unethical behavior would have not be allowed by regulations, FTX may be still standing (probably to implode later, with even higher human costs).

What can she do other than this?

It's not about what she can do. It's normal/expected from her to do this.
It's about us, who should stop freaking out every time somebody makes a big prediction on Twitter, newspapers or TV.

I thought it's a (small) victory or a step towards normality, until I've read the last line: normal trading and also deposits still remain enabled... Undecided

If this kind of results keep coming, maybe the poll will need a couple more countries to be added. Roll Eyes
Interesting surprises for now. Nice prediction PawGo! Cool
1772  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for crypto exchange without KYC on: November 23, 2022, 01:28:43 PM
I'm looking to exchange between some few crypto currencies without KYC.
 
Anyone have any recommendations?

There is a topic you may want to visit: Current list of exchanges without KYC
But those are centralized exchanges.

My recommendation would be you consider using decentralized exchange, but that needs a bit more reading to understand what to do to not get scammed by other users.
I won't recommend a certain DEX, but a great list I can simply quote is:

Most decentralized: https://bisq.network/
More liquidity: https://localcryptos.com/
Also recommended: https://hodlhodl.com/
1773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a cold wallet or buy BTC on: November 23, 2022, 01:22:35 PM
Based on your choose, which one exchange market do you use and how secure so far when saving assets there, I think Binance and Kucoin still on the top securing exchange for holding our Bitcoin assets, better purchase Bitcoin with with fund $60 than purchasing cold wallet but don't have assets yet.

People thought the same about FTX.. and some got the surprise of their lifetime. So no, this is not a valid option. Not your keys, not your coins.


Also a very curious observation. Which goes a little against my perspective. Especially if the person is familiar with ways to protect his BTC.

Thank you. Imho for the ones with a bit of technical background, hardware wallets are there mostly for convenience. Of course, for the rest they're a must.
1774  Economy / Exchanges / Re: An Attempt to Bring Down Coinbase? on: November 23, 2022, 11:27:21 AM
This, to me, is the same cunning action by CZ that finally killed FTX. It just so happened that, unlike FTX, Coinbase has the real numbers to show. Otherwise, it could have dealt them the same fatal impact.

That's correct. However, the blow on FTX was fatal because they had no reserves whatsoever, which seems not to be the case for Coinbase.

Such an irresponsible public statement from an influential person who has millions of followers could cause massive trust and confidence issues and, therefore, a huge and sudden exchange run.

Irresponsible? It's calculated and many could argue that such statements, which call for transparency are good. Such calls, that can make more people secure their funds in their own custody, are good for the users (as long as they do manage to withdraw).
But fake calls can ruin his "golden aura" sooner or later and he may lose credibility, followers, ... so he cannot do this for too many times, and I am sure he knows that. I would not be overly worried.
1775  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buy a cold wallet or buy BTC on: November 23, 2022, 09:48:46 AM
At this time of Black Friday, there are usually some promotions, even interesting ones. And some cold wallet companies are running promotions.

Right now, in your opinion, it pays off to spend 50~60$ buying a cold wallet or buying BTC?

I will be somewhat advocating the other way than the previous posts.

Maybe you can spend an hour and learn how to make yourself a cold storage (or maybe paper wallet?) using nothing more than an USB stick that you'll boot your computer from now and then.
So you can spend 5-10$ on an USB stick if you don't have one already and you can buy bitcoin for the rest of the money.

However, if your technical skills are not good enough for this, then you may already have a nice amount in a hot wallet, and then hardware wallet is a must.
So it's really up to you, your skills, how much BTC you already have, ....

Of course, it's optimal to buy bitcoin when its price is low and buy hardware wallet when bitcoin price is high, no matter there are promotions now. A not too difficult to achieve doubling of bitcoin price will beat the best promotions you can get for hardware wallets.
1776  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Mining pools in 2010-2011? on: November 23, 2022, 09:19:39 AM
Asking in the mining related board may be of help too. With some luck, the older miners or pool owners may be able to help...

1777  Economy / Speculation / Re: Cathie wood says 1 btc $1m by 2030 how possible? on: November 23, 2022, 09:15:29 AM
She is investing in bitcoin and crypto companies. Of course she trusts her investments will have high returns. Even more, this kind of declarations:
* may get others invest in bitcoin and crypto, hence making her earlier investments more profitable
* may get others invest in her company, meaning more money to work with and more profits for her

So, as usual, biased prediction, with other goals. It's not necessarily that she believes bitcoin will get to $1M. It's more that she is advertising bitcoin and herself.
1778  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Genesis' crypto lending (Genesis Global Capital) halts withdrawals on: November 23, 2022, 08:46:28 AM
Cathie Wood hehehee. I am not very confident on her investment decisions since the market began to reverse from bull to bear.

The name doesn't ring a bell. Still, she may not be alone in this, since I see Genesis Capital has "no plans to file bankruptcy imminently" and the bitcoin price seems to be recovering (probably meaning a bit more confidence).

I start thinking that some of the businesses with a little better background may be helped out or bought by those who have money. Pretty much standard operations during recession (and some may have had money prepared exactly because recession was/is at the horizon).
1779  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitcointalk users owe me BTC on: November 23, 2022, 08:38:09 AM
The act happened in 2018, not 2022.

I knew that when I supported the flags.

If OP creates accurate Flags and posts evidence in this topic, I'll Support the new Flags.

At least on this we're on the same page. Wink

It's important to keep the Flag system accurate, so it doesn't end up like the mess the rest of the Trust system is. See:
Creating or supporting a scammer flag is actively affirming a set of pretty clear fact-statements. If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP.

Imho the information was incompletely / poorly presented, but not incorrect / false. Most of the missing bits were 2-3 clicks away. However, let's wait for OP next move.
1780  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitcointalk users owe me BTC on: November 23, 2022, 08:24:35 AM
@NeuroticFish: can you reconsider your Support for these incorrect and unproven Flags?

OK, although I am not convinced you're right. If we go on this path, a scammer can easily just go away after the scam just to avoid getting flagged.
But since they're inactive, supporting the flags was more a psychological support for OP and his lost 0.25BTC than something really useful, so it doesn't matter much.

To make it clear: I'll remove my support now and I'll continue watching this topic.
