Then what is the essence this forum was created if there should be a Telegram group? We do not need it. People that wants to communicate with each other just as people have groups on Telegram can communicate directly here on this forum. This forum serves the purpose that a Telegram group can serve. It is even better here.

Not like that.

I mean like how we already have an unofficial Discord group created by Cyrus.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247383.0

I think it would be harmless. It's not going to be some place that newbies are directed to, just some sort of lounge for the rest of us.
3  Other / Meta / Why don't we have an unofficial telegram channel? on: June 23, 2025, 11:47:19 AM
It would make a lot of sense since most of us are on there.

Relevant threads on the forum:

bitcointalk on telegram
Bitcointalk Telegram Group
Official bitcointalk telegram channel

Some are a bit spammy, but these were the only topics I could find on the issue.

To avoid issues with inactivity, I think a moderator would have to create it.
4  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: New ashigaru whirlpool coordinator can de-anonymize users on: June 23, 2025, 08:21:08 AM
We seriously need to make a dedicated website on github.io or something that lists all of the information related to coordinators, because it's fragmented everywhere at the moment.

People need to know which coordinators are safe to use.

Although I know this pertains only to whirlpool coordinators, I'm only aware of one running at the moment, ever since Samourai's was shut down.
5  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammed with mixer? on: June 23, 2025, 07:21:32 AM
You shouldn't be using mixer sites, they gain complete access to your funds and your transaction history. Coinjoin enabled wallets like Wasabi allow you to create anonymous on chain transactions without giving anyone else the chance to steal your BTC.

One thing I don't like about coinjoin is that they are very easily flagged by exchanges as coming from a "mixer" (like the terminology or hate it), so they will instantly freeze your account if you send any coins from a coordinator there. So if exchanges or some payment processor is your destination then don't use that method.

Same problem as with some other, legacy mixers, such as Coinomize (unless you use max fees), Mixero, Jokermix, ... etc.

In general, the more fees you pay, he higher quality coins you will get.

OP, use my scam lookup tool on BitMixList to check if a mixer URL is legit or scam next time.
6  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FTX comedy and might be another exchange that bites the dust? on: June 23, 2025, 05:59:56 AM
It appears that we might witness the return of Su Zhu and Kyle if they win this case or lose it hehehehe. If they win the case, they will receive $1.5 billion, however, if they lose this, they will receive only $284 million. We can be quite certain that this is enough for a comeback on their former status as one of the biggest hedgefunds in the cryptospace heheheheh.

So if they win, they get money.

But if they lose, they also get money.  Grin

Gotta love venture capitalists you know! They always find a way to make money.

I lost it many moons ago about a disagreement regarding the faucet section of the Wiki with MidnightMagic and I was a dick.

I deserved to lose it + I make a ton of typos anyways.



The difficulty still does reset at 20 minutes.

People are starting to speculate about Bitcoin Testnet... I'd vote just leave the merged facts on Wiki and attempt not to speculate.

Thank you very much, I appreciate you.  I'll be happy to tip if you have a Bitcoin address handy.

No problem.

Here's the address I usually display for tipping: bc1q4djl6pxt90nfs8fufdul26ufxukxxrczsfjj0h

It used to be on my profile, but I removed it to make room for other stuff.
8  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Premined Bitcoin Testnet Coming Soon? on: June 22, 2025, 05:31:22 PM
Wait, so we're creating another testnet just because testnet4 is being traded for real coins?

Am I understanding this correctly?
9  Economy / Gambling / Re: [SOLVED] Betnomi | Project status & Refund Plan! on: June 22, 2025, 09:09:38 AM
Perhaps a bit less well-known, but they also ran a similar site to Basebet called Dogebet.gg, which was rugpulled at the same time as Basebet. It seems that, so far, this team has rugged not two, but three casinos.
I never heard about this casino, but Sorsis was desperate for quick money when he nuked both at the same time.   Tongue
He is not going to stop with this, so we should scan every new casino for any connection with him and his company Base Online.
Someone should report this guy to authorities and start a legal case against him.

What a shame how tragic his downfall was.

In the near future, after I set up the scraper to run automatically on the index, I will set up an API for retrieving posts, topics and users and enable limited access to it.

The Elasticsearch cluster is healthy at the moment and is running without issues.

Thank you for using Talksearch.



PSA: Date filtering older than September, 2020 posts does not work properly. I will create a new index to fix this.



New content update v1.0.3 published

This is a minor update that implements a workaround to the date filtering bug described above. A long-term re-indexing will be done at a future time.

If your name is not here, you have not written a report during the last period.

No duplicate entries have been detected in the data.



Legend:

†Indicates a bitcoin node failure or some other reason which I have been made aware of. Members who are absent for too long will be removed without notice and will have to start over if they want to rejoin.

*Indicates a person who has not submitted a report for a long time. Please do so immediately to avoid getting removed without notice.

#Indicates a person whose report was not processed because it is incorrect. Usually this is because you misnumbered your days. Please fix your report as soon as possible.

Report generation is semi-automated now, so if you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

If you don't meet the minimum rank requirements, your post will be ignored.

12  Other / Meta / Re: Reduce the chance using Old Accounts for Hacks , Scam and Malware things ! on: June 22, 2025, 08:00:39 AM
  • Old Accounts that havnt post anything or active after the last post in the last 3 years should be taken in some temp cooldown !
(this means before they can post again they should be going also to an overwatch by the Recovery Team)

I don't like this idea. It will make the recovery team a bottleneck, as people who had to go through the account recovery process can testify to.

A better idea would be to make them simply verify their email address again, and disallow signup using invalid email addresses (make all users verify their email upon signup before they can post or send PMs).
13  Other / Bitcoin Wiki / Re: Bitcoin Testnet page is outdated. (v4 launched) on: June 22, 2025, 05:38:04 AM
(Thanks, I lost my editor privileges years ago.)

What? Why?

I can help you get them back if necessary.

Edit: I updated the testet page, but not the Details section. It may be incorrect. Does the difficulty still reset to 1 if no block has been found in 20 minutes? I'm not talking about the timewarp loophole that's been closed. In fact I need to create an entirely new page for that.
14  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Silent payments on: June 22, 2025, 05:34:07 AM
It seemed to me before that Silent Payments were a sort of "holy grail" for privacy, but there is one concern I have on the regulation side of things.

What if countries like the EU members introduce legislation that would require regulated entities to only interact with addresses which have a prior history, and ban unused addressed unless the owner completes an invasive KYC?

This works well for now, but I can't see them below doing that.
15  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Core October Upgrade on: June 22, 2025, 05:30:42 AM
No, Bitcoin Core developers cannot force changes on the entire network, especially not on people using other implementations.

That's why it's good that alternative clients are finally catching on, if only Bitcoin Knots for now.

Now we're getting Ethereum's operational decentralization which they had for years.

18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I found $600 in an CB account I forgot: How to find old accounts? on: June 21, 2025, 11:05:51 AM
I can't find any exchange called Monera on the forum search. The closest is some short-lived cryptocurrency with the same name.

Maybe one of these exchanges is the actual name: https://talksearch.io/search?q=south%20korean%20exchange
19  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Is it safe to use the Trezor Safe 5 even on an infected computer or mobile ? on: June 21, 2025, 09:10:55 AM
Wouldn't all this be mitigated by using a sighash that signs the entire transaction? Like SIGHASH_ALL. In fact, almost all transactions use SIGHASH_ALL so this attack method is impossible.

Unfortunately that is not the only risk that could come from infected computer or mobile. Malware could trick you to pay unreasonable high fee for your transaction as it is described in the following scenario:


Besides, it could pull off an even more sophisticated trick assigning the large amount to a valid but hard-to-discover change output, hidden under an obscure derivation path like m/44'/0'/0'/372164291/68311443, or something equally sneaky.

Thus, if the hardware responsible for building transaction is infected and it constructs the transaction before sending it for signing on any hardware wallet, then it's fundamentally not secure. relying solely on such setup would be a risky business Sad.
20  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware wallet with multi-address & coin control on: June 21, 2025, 09:02:54 AM
As for the first part of your question, wouldn't a package forwarding company solve that issue? Assuming you are willing to pay MORE of course.

I don't think so because residential addresses are loosely-defined here and in any case, aren't meant for receiving mail. Not even my neighbors have mailboxes.

OmegaStarScream is right, but not just Trezor but other hardware wallets that Electrum supports. The only problem that I have known of is the use of QR code to sign transaction with airgapped hardware wallet which was not possible on Electrum but as for others, you can do that on Electrum as long as Trezor supports it. Everything will be like it is on Electrum, except that the seed phrase and keys are generated on the hardware wallet.

What is the best Trezor wallet for this purpose?

Trezor wallet suggestion has been giving already, which is also my suggestion too. But with this limitation of getting access to it or any hardware wallet due to area constrains my opinion is why don’t you go for an electrum cold wallet set up if getting the hardware wallet is giving you an hassle, you can simply just set the cold wallet up on a new airgapped set up with electrum since you’re are already familiar with electrum. It gives Same security safety as an hardware wallet if it is set up properly.

I already have an airgapped wallet, I just want to defend better against malware.
