But we already have different levels of flags, why not introduce just one more, for example, Flag Type 0 (which would replace neg. trust).


Again, we already have such a system with flags. Besides, I believe the number of such cases would be relatively low. Consider this scenario: if a flag receives the necessary support from DT1 members to become active, and one of those members later drops out of the DT pool, we have two options. We can either keep the flag active, or the flag becomes inactive until it secures the support of at least one more new DT1 member.


But that is actually a good thing. Flags need thorough investigation and supporting evidence. That is why it is usually pretty straightforward to check out the evidence and investigation someone else has done and decide whether to support or oppose the flag. Tags, on the other hand, often get slapped on without much reference or clear evidence. Those kinds of tags should not be part of the trust system.

We already have that, it is called the Proof-of-Activity (PoA) algorithm.

I think most folks who prefer to keep their private keys and seed phrases only in digital form, without any old-school "hard copy" backup, might be a bit in the dark about what is really going on inside those memory cells in their SSDs and Flash drives and might not be fully aware of all the risks involved. I even saw someone saying they feel safe because they have copies on two flash drives. That gave me a good laugh!

Exactly. Expressing your opinion is one thing, but providing entirely worthless and false information to someone's question is counterproductive to the purpose of this forum.

We need a downvote function on this forum!

They do not now, but they could if theymos makes it so. The guy from your example is a trade risk.

Here is an idea. What if we completely remove the negative trust (making it neutral) and use only flags for trust issues and trade risk?


theymos could make some tweaks to how it is displayed so that the Type 1 flag isn't just for newbie warnings.

That would be great, but I honestly doubt it will ever happen. Just out of curiosity, how do you plan to make your app communicate with the bitcointalk.org server? You know there is no API for bitcointalk? I am not saying it is impossible; I just think you might not have a clear idea of how to do it.

That is why such wallets are not really good because you do not have full control over your bitcoin or transactions.

Do you have any contact with the person who sent you the bitcoins? Or did you acquire them through a centralized exchange? They should be able to increase the transaction fee from their end to get the transaction confirmed.

This is not entirely true because the receiver can theoretically create a new transaction with unconfirmed inputs and use CPFP to pay the fee for both transactions.

Bitcoin's base layer lacks support for complex smart contracts and decentralized applications. Therefore, for cross-chain bridges to be possible, you must first tokenize native BTC into a synthetic asset that merely mimics the value of BTC.

As far as I know, you can only get wBTC through a custodial bridging process. You deposit Bitcoin, and in return, someone mints an equivalent amount of wBTC tokens for you. So, basically, it is an exchange.

OP, I think your best course of action would be to try a CPFP (Child Pays for Parent) transaction, just as hosseinimr93 recommended.

Hey OP! What do you mean you reached your goal? Are you saying you have enough Bitcoins and no longer feel the need to acquire more? I do not think I have ever met such a person in this area. 

Jokes aside, I believe un_rank's point is spot on. Once you achieve a goal, it is a good idea to set yourself a new one.

I totally agree with the idea of dropping some info hints or a video tutorial on their website – that could really help out the newcomers. Plus, considering this service is still in beta, they will probably make some UI improvements to make it smoother and more user-friendly. Betas tend to start a bit rough around the edges, but with user feedback, they usually get polished over time. So, chances are this platform will get even more user-friendly and attractive to a wider crowd as it evolves.

There is a difference between lying to deceive (trade risk) and expressing an opinion. Everyone has the right to their opinion, even if it happens to be wrong or incorrect. Contrasting opinions should be addressed through reasoned discussions or by simply ignoring them, and this should take place within the context of regular forum conversation, rather than using the feedback system.

On this forum, we hold the principles of freedom of speech, or freedom of expression if you prefer, in high regard. Everyone has an equal right to express their thoughts as long as they adhere to the forum rules. If you believe someone is violating these rules, report them to the moderators for appropriate action. If you happen to disagree with someone's opinion, you can engage in a discussion or simply choose to ignore them. Disagreements are a natural part of any discussion platform, but trust ratings should not be part of the equation.

I view your use of the trust system as vindictive and driven by personal feelings because you didn't appreciate someone's opinion of you, and now you are trying to rationalize it.

Coinplay casino already has quite a negative reputation on this forum, and to make matters less promising, their representative seems to have gone MIA, leaving little hope for meaningful responses or resolution to any issues you might encounter.

No need to resort to borrowing, selling your house, or turning to a life of bank robbery just to invest in Bitcoin - nothing that extreme! But that does not mean you should sit on the sidelines forever, waiting for the perfect moment. Invest what you can, whenever you can. It is the best strategy to avoid those future "I should have done it" regrets. If Bitcoin takes a nosedive, you won't lose sleep over it because you haven't bet the farm. And when Bitcoin skyrockets once more, you will be grinning ear to ear! 

Many have already mentioned that the most likely safest solution for long-term Bitcoin storage typically involves using a hardware wallet. However, I would like to add that if it is truly for the long term, in that case, you may not even need a wallet. Keeping your seed phrase in a safe and secure location (preferably in multiple copies) could suffice. Just make sure to generate the wallet on a clean and air-gapped device, write down the seed phrase (or even engrave it on a metal plate), export the public addresses that you will use for deposits, and then erase all digital traces of the wallet. Optionally, you can export xPub (or zPub) keys to external media to create a watch-only wallet on an online connected device if needed.

Great! At least now we know that this domain is connected to scammer and ban evader, btcpepa04!

I am posting this for future reference:

Nice try, OP! 

Okay, I just looked at your trust feedback, and I gotta ask: What is wrong with you? Do you have some kind of mental disability or something?
By the way, it is totally fine if you do; just thinking it might help us handle things differently.

No, that is not correct. When you encrypt the wallet data container (file) on one computer, it remains encrypted even after importing (opening) it with the software on another computer. Of course, you will need a password to access it, and that is the whole point. However, if you recreate the same wallet from a backup seed phrase, you will once again have the option of whether you want to password protect (encrypt) the wallet file or not because it will be a new wallet file.


The BIP39 passphrase is designed to protect your backup seed phrase. However, it is not encryption; it is simply the method for generating wallets from a seed phrase. For instance, you can generate a wallet with a specific 24-word seed phrase. But if you add a passphrase to that same seed phrase, you will create an entirely new wallet with a completely different set of private keys and addresses. Think of it as the 25th word (although it doesn't have to be a dictionary word, and it doesn't have to be just one word since it is a passphrase, not a password).


No, encrypted wallet files cannot be opened on any computer without the correct password. They can potentially be brute-forced if the password is too weak.

Judging solely from the look and content of the website, it strongly suggests that it could be a scam. apart from the Login and Registration forms, there's no additional information about the company. It's definitely a red flag.
