Somehow you seem to come with a lot of topics you could have been researching a little, throw some words and "let's discuss". This is not OK. You should put more effort in this, now you just look desperate for meeting a post quota.

Elon Musk's behavior is known. Many no longer care about his announcements and the effects (many of them short-lived) his actions have on the price.
It's not IRA, it's IRS you wanted to tell about. And I think that SEC also keeps an eye on him.

And Bitcoin price... there are too many things that can affect it (some for longer term, some for shorter term): various announcements (like you said about Musk), various actions (institutional buys/sales), hacks, bankruptcies, new businesses opening, halving, ASIC chips/mining gears releases, war (let's not forget it), pandemic, recession... even the stimulus checks the Americans have received did affect the price.

It's interesting that you are still telling the not-so-relevant story and you don't post the tx id.
However, is the tx confirmed? Or did you manage to double-spend it?

Da, de Eclair am uitat. Multumesc. De Strike nu   (cumva ceva nu ma atrage la el, imi pare rau..).


In caz ca ai intrat si pe taramul LN cu Blue Wallet, tocmai au anuntat ca renunta la nodul lor LND, ar fi bine de citit anuntul postat de cygan acum vreo jumatate de ora.
Si da, am vazut ca are functionalitati interesante acest Blue Wallet, plus ca e open source, de aia am sperat ca o sa il pot folosi (si) pe partea de LN.

Well, the full title of Bitcoin whitepaper Satoshi has written is: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
It's not an actual motto, but it can be seen as an official phrase (or short definition for Bitcoin)

I recommend you take a look into:
https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/txid
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction
These links should explain it better than I'd do (since I'm not that good at the internals).

However, shortly: the first link tells how tx id can be easily obtained from the transaction itself:



I will add that while tx ids seem to not be stored in the actual blockchain, Bitcoin Core does store the tx ids of unspent transactions (UTXO) in chainstate folder (levelDb), read:
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/28168/what-are-the-keys-used-in-the-blockchain-leveldb-ie-what-are-the-keyvalue-pair

I am not sure what you mean here.
All the nodes validate transactions and forward them (one node's mempool may be different from another's), hence they can be seen as processors.
The miners are the "ultimate" processors because they add the transactions into blocks.
But none of them would alter a transaction (transaction created and signed by the sender). So.. I am not sure what you mean.

Well, at least in theory, the driver should charge the car before it gets under a limit (20% maybe?) and normally don't go over 90% (because after that it's very slow).
And, if the drivers are not assholes keeping the charging stations busy (I think that Tesla has fixed that by charging them heftily for the extra time) one will easily find a place to charge his car.


Indeed, even with tricks like charging only from 20% to 90%, charging still takes a lot of time, more than for combustion cars. That's one reason why something new needs invented.


One of my points was the better storage for electricity is needed. This would most probably means that such charging stations will have their own special, big capacity batteries (yet to be invented). The charging would go from there (to not overload the grid) and in case of blackouts they can still use their battery for powering their own business. Of course, if the blackout lasts too long.. nothing can help, you're right on that.

You don't seem to have much of idea on what are your chances for find the seed, right?
If only a small number of words are missing, OK, you can do it. But without no other info you will most probably not find anything useful during your lifetime (and I'm being overly generous on this).

So I recommend you read much-much more before offering this kind of services, which, at this stage, are dangerously close to what we call... scam.


I also recommend people don't give money or sensitive information to this "service".
If one has lost some words of his seed, ask around publicly for advises and may recover it. If one lost his seed completely.. bad luck.
Goind blindly for this kind of services can only get more money lost or even the initial coins stolen.

I also recommend the BPIP extension. It has a lot of nice features, not only nice stats in your Merit page.
It shows who is DT, it shows who is inactive or banned, it adds quick links to helper pages (ninjastic.space, loyce.club, bpip), it helps quoting from locked topics, it offers (if you want) even dark themes.
It's of great help.


Yes, it tells that it's beta and sometimes show inactives that have just became active again, but the glitches are small and few.

Am dat aseara tarziu peste un articol interesant: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/top-bitcoin-lightning-wallets-in-slow-internet
Clar acopera doar o mica parte din portofelele pentru LN, dar aduce niste informatii pe care eu le consider interesante:

* Wallet of Satoshi: am mai auzit de el, initial crezusem ca e o bomba, dar de curand am tot observat acest soft foarte verde (ca si culoare, nu neaparat ecologic) in filmulete care prezinta cat de usor e sa platesti cu Bitcoin (ultimul pe care il vazusem era din Lugano). Na, are parti nasoale, ca este 100% custodial si cu codul sursa ascuns, dar pe de alta parte merge bine si poate ca asta este solutia pentru sume relativ mici si fara bataie de cap.

* Muun: asta merge bine si are si banii in custodia ta proprie, on-chain, dar se pare ca nu ai acces la cuvinte(le) de HD seed, ci se salveaza ... altfel - nu stiu cum, dar nu imi mai place la fel de mult.

* Breez: asta face backup in cloud.. adica hai sa fim seriosi...

* Phoenix: pare sa faca tot ce trebuie si cum trebuie, cu mentiunea ca pentru initializare ai nevoie sa primesti intai 10 000 sat (nu stiu cum, ca daca trebuie sa-i primesc pe LN m-au pierdut)

* Zap, Zeus: la acestea trebuie sa ai nodul tau si momentan nu am intentia sa merg asa departe

Din comparatii rezulta ca mai am o lista de portofele care "pica", ramanand practic acest Phoenix (despre care trebuie neaparat sa citesc mai mult!!) si, ca solutie de ultima instanta, Wallet of Satoshi.
Si a mai ramas din lista initiala (a lui Rath) si Blixt Wallet, despre care nu stiu mai multe momentan, deci momentan sta si el ca optiune.

That insurance is an expense many companies don't want to have. Even more, the crypto space used to pretty much cheer for not obeying regulations, which most often came with compulsory KYC (which now is pretty much a rule, but not so long ago it was the exception).
Binance was hacked and managed to recover from their own funds. This gave CZ quite a morale boost and few understand that those funds are good only in case of hacks, but won't help in case of bankruptcy, especially if that's due to running on fractional reserves.


Exactly.


I was proposing insurance for exchanges many years ago. Back then most insurers didn't even know how to handle crypto businesses.
The insurance value is meant to be proportional with the size of the exchange / a median amount of funds deposited there. So in theory it should be affordable to the smaller exchanges too. Just most won't want to spend that money.
Insurance is imho okay. But I fear that the result will be stricter regulations for the users, not for the exchanges, and in many cases, while some other crazy regulations may come to life, the insurance may go "forgotten". I'm saying this because the exchanges can just go to softer jurisdictions, while many of the users can't.

As said, bitcoin was not made to make people rich. However, I cannot deny it, it can provide now and then easy jobs with quick and flawless payments.


Well, I think that you're doing it wrong. "Bitcointalking" is not supposed to be a job. Relying on posting on a forum as a stable source of income can easily lead to big problems.
Lying your family about your job is imho even worse, although I clearly don't expect them to understand all this.
Imho the proper way should be to have a stable job (maybe at a shop) and whatever (and whenever) you get some extra from campaigns on bitcointalk... treat is as a bonus, because that's what it is.

I thought that he's exaggerating, that's why I came wit other possible idea/direction too. Now, after xandry showing the full picture I'm no longer that sure and indeed, nuke may be just the right direction.

It's about a data type in the code or data.

The thing is that a signed int (32 bit signed integer) takes values between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647,
while unsigned int goes between 0 and 4,294,967,295

Clearly Satoshi meant that in case an error is found in his code, that has to be fixed before a big number is reached (bigger than 2,147,483,647), because in case of signed int that will mean an overflow to negative numbers.

No. The (overall) mood was OK at under 17k in December, hence at the current 24k-25k levels just a post like that cannot ruin the mood.

You cannot import Bitcoin Core's wallet file into another wallet. And while afaik the new Bitcoin Core wallets are also HD, they are not based on a seed in the way you see it for Electrum or Sparrow (BIP39 and so on).
Is having the seed that important? The private key(s) aren't enough for your needs?


If you want to obtain the HD seed of your Bitcoin core wallet (but it will be BIP32, not BIP39), you may want to read this on Reddit and maybe try your luck with this tool (but I have no idea if it works and I would not use it with a wallet that may have anything valuable in it).

So, as I said, maybe you just get the private keys of the relevant addresses, it should be easier.

Well done! Really! Most just go head first into issues. Having a hardware wallet and also asking is a very good way to go.

As the others said, you should update the firmware. It's important, please don't miss this.
Also as others said, you should keep the backup seed safely. But I will say some more things:
1. Make sure it's you who generate a new seed on your device.
2. The seed must be written down and stored safely offline and preferably in at least two places, geographically separated.
3. Maybe it's overkill, but I've seen cases this could have been avoiding other issues: after everything is set up and you can see (write down/copy-paste) your first address or few addresses (I use my hardware wallet with Electrum and there this is easier) reset the hardware wallet again, restore from the written down seed and see if you've got the same addresses. Especially since it's expected you may play around a little with your Trezor it's better to be 100% certain the seed you'll be putting to safety is indeed the one the Trezor has in use.

While people around the world have higher hopes now on getting their money back, it's important to make it clear that Japan is a rather unique situation: there FTX had to insure their operations in order to get the license to operate. That insurance is what pays now the customers' money, not FTX.

PS: In my topic in Press about FTX withdrawals in Japan I seem to have better source for the news.

I am optimistic and I voted 30k. Clearly a cooldown will come again - sooner or later -, but we seem to jump into a FOMO-like atmosphere already (at least crypto Twitter seems to be there), and if it's so then the cooldown may only happen after 35-40k (and will be a bit painful/disappointing for some).

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has partially resumed operations in Japan – allowing customers to withdraw funds
https://technewsspace.com/bankrupt-cryptocurrency-exchange-ftx-has-partially-resumed-operations-in-japan-allowing-customers-to-withdraw-funds/

The title says it all. The Japanese are the luckier. The rest.. can only hope, but not too much.
The withdrawal will not be straightforward, it will happen through Liquid Japan, still, I am sure the Japanese won't complain too much, excepting the few for which somehow the records got lost (strange).

Now, some interesting points:


* The withdrawals are possible because the regulations in Japan ask for mandatory insurance. So the withdrawals come from the insurer, not FTX (which is bad news for the rest of the world).
**  I think that this will fuel the urge for more strict regulation of crypto (and not as it should - the crypto businesses), possibly also missing exactly this insurance part.
**  I think that this will fuel the urge to make everything with even stricter KYC requirements

* People will miss the point that this is insurance money and will expect FTX "recover". And if FTX name will come back in a way or another, I would not surprised is all will jump in like nothing has happened.

Indeed, it's not working for mobile phones, still I think that if you use this trick at least for the dates (and also make the header more condensed/multiline) you can at least from there squeeze more space. And the comments also.. they're useful, but not crucial, hence one can live without them on mobile.
