61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GuptiMiner: Malware that attack AV and plant crypto miners and crypto wallets on: April 25, 2024, 03:38:06 PM
This is one significant draw back of closed source software while I don't think the open sources anti virus are better than the close source since majority tends to use the closed source Anti-Virus.
Anything close source software should not be trusted because you do not know what the code it is made up of. You do not know if the code has malware that its developers intentionally included before they are selling it or people downloading it. I do not think this should be about open or close source software but rather than not to be using or truth antivirus. Antimalware can not be trusted. The best you can do to your device is to avoid and making sure that malware will not get installed. This is better than to depend on antivirus or antimalware. What that can be done to avoid these malware are simple. Also that huge amount of coins should be stored on addresses of a cold wallet.

This is 2024 It's  seem we had some early bull which was before the halving and even gave us new ATH  but we are yet to see our  bull run that was too early for a bull run maybe
If you check the past halvings and bullrun, you will notice that this time is still too early for bullrun to begin. Although, we can not say it is too early because the bull run can begin at anytime but with previous ones, it is still early. Bullrun can begin after many weeks or some months after halving but it is not even yet more than a week before the last halving which occured 5 days ago.
63  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam warning - Yomix mixer, turned into an exit scam! on: April 25, 2024, 02:55:59 PM
I have seen many complaints about Yo!Mix mixer recently and they are not solved. I have tagged the representative account red and I am also supporting the flag.

Those mixers that have active signature campaign on Altcoinstalks are better, but Yo!Mix is not among them. I think it has ended its service when mixer signature campaigns were banned on this forum last year. Any money sent to the mixer now should be considered gone.

"IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso said: “$2 billion in transactions with an unlicensed money transmitter means $2 billion flowed without any oversight, from whomever to wherever.  Because of the company’s disregard for regulation, it’s alleged that Samourai Wallet laundered more than $100 million in criminal proceeds"
Transactions are not unlawful cause you cannot trace the flow of the transaction. The $2 bliiion seems to have just been thrown in there for shock value, giving them a justification to clamp down on the service.
But they were greedy to clamp down Binance which was alleged for money laundering, bank fraud, sanctions violation and others. Binance paid 4 billion and still existing. Most money received through illegal activities are in their banks that their central bank being the head.

It's not a duplicate because I asked direct question to forum administration, that is why it's posted in Meta board.
I suspect that someone will probably fork Samourai wallet and it will continue to exist in some form.
Thank you for understanding.
My bad. I did not know you created it on Meta. I was thinking it is about the Samourai that has been taken down.
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Samourai Wallet seized by the feds on: April 24, 2024, 08:12:48 PM
If there is conjoin campaigs on this forum, theymos could have been planning to ban the conjoin campaigns. But not necessary because there is no conjoin campaign on this forum anymore.

It is possible that Sparrow will be the next target. Only what the government will look for is allegation.

Just gamble with the altcoins because their fall is not good at all. Solana had an all-time-high of $260 and all-time-low of $8. Can you see how that can be depressing. I am not insinuating that you should not invest but invest wisely.

$550 paid already. Check your PM for details.

You need to make a similar transaction of the same amount or higher than the previous amount that you sent, and you should also increase the transaction fee.
He is the receiver. What do you mean by similar transaction? Are you referring to CPFP? I will not advice that because of how the mempool is. I think the OP can tell the sender to bump the fee according to his post. That would be the best option while CPFP can be the second option. If it is me, I do not accept unconfirmed transaction and I will expect RBF instead. If the sender said it will be deducted from my money, I will accept because it is cheaper than CPFP.

Deleting it will not return the BTC to the sender, because it will still be another node mempool
Deleting it does not mean it is even deleted from some nodes mempool at all.
71  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Local or Unconfirmed Transaction on: April 24, 2024, 02:41:29 PM
Sender could RBF it but I'm not sure if there's a difference in RBF a LOCAL only transaction or an UNCONFIRMED one. If deleting it returns the BTC to the sender perhaps that's a better option?
The coin is not sent to the sender if you are able to delete it. Some node's mempool will still have it. If the sender can bump the fee using RBF, then tell him to do so. If the sender bump the fee, you will see it again on your wallet as unconfirmed and if the fee is enough for high priority, the transaction will get confirmed earlier.
72  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Nigeria’s central bank forced to deny claims of crypto account freeze on: April 24, 2024, 12:23:12 PM
Who heard about this? Nobody brought it up on the forum. I am referring to the rumour that that the CBN directed all banks and financial institutions to identify individuals or entities engaging in transactions with cryptocurrency exchanges and to ensure that such accounts are put on Post No Debit (PND) instruction for six months. PND which means that the account owner will not be able to make transaction on the account for six month according to what I read on Cointelegraph.


This is the fake circular:



It was not even signed. But people were believing it?

It was on the news that CBN first denied it on X but later deleted the denial. But some hours later the CBN claimed that the allegation is not false.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/nigerian-central-bank-freeze-user-accounts

We do not have this on Nigeria local board and I believe no one among us will believe in the false circular.
73  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ViaBTC free accelerator should not be trusted anymore on: April 24, 2024, 10:51:55 AM
Even if they don't have the possibility of free acceleration, that's not enough to call them "should not be trusted anymore"
It is not their fault for this network congestion and abuse of their (free) service.
I have included it at the beginning of OP that it should be disregarded and I also included that Potato Chips reply and hosseinimr93 posts can be read to know the reason I posted that it should be disregarded. We have solved this already. If what I said is true about the free accelerator, telling people not to trust it is right if the accelerator is only using the free accelerator to promote the paid accelerator while not giving free acceleration. I guess you only read the topic title and not read the OP post but decided to just jump into replying.
74  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Local Board Moderator; Your honest feedback here. on: April 24, 2024, 01:20:32 AM
Continue reporting posts that are worth reporting on our local board and hopefully one day theymos will see you qualified to be a moderator.

I like the fact that you were not biased to go either for only English or Pidgin as the language we should be using to post. You know that we used both in Nigeria and you went for both. This is one of the characteristics a good moderator should have.
75  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: ViaBTC free accelerator on: April 24, 2024, 12:13:58 AM
@ Igebotz, Mate2237

You can read what Potato Chips and what hosseinimr93 posted about it. I think it is still working.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5493978.msg63984342#msg63984342

I also tried it and it worked.

What led to the error was that I was clicking on the captcha after the next hour began without refreshing the accelerator.
76  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ViaBTC free accelerator should not be trusted on: April 23, 2024, 11:55:53 PM
My theory is, maybe I needed to submit once the free slots refreshes on viabtc and not as soon as the hour resets on my clock? will have to test this next time.

After getting the error from the website, there were still 9 remaining free hourly transactions and I tried it again. This time, I managed to submit the transaction successfully.

I could remember that I tried it just once like this but I was unable to submit it but no captcha error than what I quoted above. But after then, I did not refresh before I wanted to submit it. I will also try it and see if it would work but as two people have tried it and it worked already, definitely there is truth in that.

Edit: I tried it just now and it worked. Although, after more than 5 minutes now, there is still 5 txids remaining to be submitted.
77  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: After Binance: BYBIT and BITGET. on: April 23, 2024, 11:06:53 PM
And after when Binance has finally delisted the NGN p2p, the naira was weakened to $1 to NGN1,950 and the country government fought hard to regain the naira price.
You people just do not want to believe that the government manipulated the naira price. The government fought hard to depreciate naira price to $1600.

Now recently naira that was appreciating became depreciating and the gone is planning to clampdown BYBIT and BITGET which are the prime suspect of the recent volatile nature of the Naira.
Let them continue to deceive you people. The exchanges are not going beyond the official rate anymore. If you are using the exchange, you will see many traders ads that are ineligible or restricted if their price is much different from the official price.

The government wanted to be able to pay workers salary, they manipulated naira. It may not be the reason but it favors them to accomplish it more.
The government wanted to be able to generate enough money for 2024 budget, they manipulated the naira
The government wanted to be able to pay for the China loan, they manipulated naira

If you know about how government can generate money from naira depreciation, you will understand me. Go and read what senate president said about the naira devaluation and budget. If you can not find it, tell me and I will post about it.

Recently, it was said that interbank move of the commercial banks caused it. Although I was told that thise banks has lowered their rate immediately after what some analysts said about them.

How many of you have noticed that there is no cash in our local banks to withdraw. The last time when I went to my Bank to withdraw, the cashier told me that they could only gave out 5k. Let's wait till next month ending when Dangote refineries work well.
I do not have option than to be using PoS. They are saying cashless economy but which is a suffering for us.

When Dangote started selling AGO (diesel), the price fell from around 1650 naira to 940/980 naira now from those buying from his refinery. There was a time diesel price was 1900 naira. But now 940 naira for those buying over 5 million liters while 980 naira for those buying between 1 million and 5 million liters. But there is still inflation. Meat that was sold at 5000 naira just few days ago is now 6000 naira. Meat that was 2000 naira before early last year.
78  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: ViaBTC free accelerator should not be trusted on: April 23, 2024, 10:02:29 PM
It works.

I used it some few days back, my TX ID was submitted and also the TX was in the block confirmed by ViaBTC.
That should be before block 840000. Few days or weeks ago, the mempool was also not that congested.

Right now due to very high Transaction fees and reduced slots. You will be very lucky to get one of those slots within seconds. As soon as the slots are done, they will tell you to use the paid version or wait for the next hour. The same thing used to happened before they reduced the limit, introduced captcha challenge and needed users to register.
By the way, at one point I also thought it doesn't work.
Yes, if the mempool become very congested before, we can have such issue not to be able to submit the txid. But I was still about to submit it at times until recently that I was unable to submit it but when I supposed to submit it, it will display captcha incorrect but which I am very certain about that it is correct. I do it several times to confirm this.

What really pissed me off is that no registration required for the free accelerator before, but you have to register now. 'Your free accelerator quota has run out, please choose the paid service if you need acceleration' is not displaying before but they are using it to market their paid accelerator now.

Also know that the free accelerator will not ask you to wait for the next hour. I quoted what was displayed which is only about their paid accelerator.
79  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Mempool is congested, use ViaBTC free accelerator. on: April 23, 2024, 09:37:48 PM
Disregard this. Click on the link in the quote and read Potato Chips reply and what hosseinimr93 also replied after him.



Do not be deceived, the accelerator is not free like people are thinking. If the mempool is not congested is only the time you can enjoy the accelerator when it is not needed, but when the mempool becomes congested, you will be disappointed by the accelerator.

I wanted to use the accelerator since many days ago after bitcoin halving but I will always not be able to submit the txid on time. If I am able to submit the txid on time, it would displayed that the captcha is not correct. I tried it just now and several times before but the same incorrect captcha. I am certain that the captcha is correctly solved, bit it will displayed as incorrect.

Once 5 seconds is over in every hour, you will not be able to use the free accelerator again until the next hour but you will see this displayed by the accelerator:

Quote
Your free accelerator quota has run out, please choose the paid service if you need acceleration.

Either you will not be able to solve the captcha and wait for the next hour again and again, but if you are able to about to submit the txid, it will dispay captcha not correctly solved when I am certain that I solved it correctly again and again.

During congestion people will always complain about people that are using bots which are faster to submit txids before people that are submitting it manually on their own. But who knows if it is the site that is manipulating. Few weeks or months ago, you can use free accelerator on the site without registration, but which is no more possible. If you want to use free accelerator on the site, you have to register.

When I saw that registration is need, I was thinking it was done to make people not to be able to use bot on the site but when mempool has been congested lately, I saw that I was very wrong. The site is now displaying to people to use the paid accelerator and the free accelerator is not acceptable. They are just using the free accelerator to lure people to use their paid accelerator. We should not be deceived by ViaBTC free accelerator.
