I know its heresy but I'd really like to entertain a discussion on both sides regarding a concern of mine. What if transaction fees aren't enough to incentivize the miners to secure the bitcoin network? I think this is a potential problem we may see in the next few decades as the halving continues on. My hope is that we will have enough people using the bitcoin network to have a healthy fee market, but if we have weak periods like now where there are several unfilled blocks, wont miners just turn off their equipment as they are unprofitable? What options or solutions are being discussed to help mitigate this?

Or any other alt coin for that matter? I'm wondering if and how it would damage/tarnish Bitcoin's reputation as the Gold standard of all cryptos. I believe it may also affect how institutions view bitcoin, and it may even affect the idea of digital scarcity. No longer can we assume that bitcoin (or its usurper) will remain #1 forever, so how can you imagine it as a safe long term store of value or preserver of wealth? Is the idea of true digital scarcity threatened if bitcoin loses it's #1 rank?
For example, I imagine it would be like silver flipping gold's market cap, (which is practically unthinkable) however, this event would forever alter how gold is perceived, especially by new potential investors.

If a large amount of unused receiving addresses were accidentally revealed (say 50 or so), is there any risk to the funds that may be stored in that wallet? Assuming the revealed addresses remain unused. I'm wondering if there's an increased risk of reverse engineering the private key if enough public addresses are known.

Isn't it natural that Bitcoin dominance will continue to decrease as a total % of total crypto market cap, simply because there can be an INFINITE amount of shitcoins that can be introduced into the market, but only 1 Bitcoin?
This means that while bitcoin dominance may continue to decrease as a total %, it is HIGHLY unlikely that any other shitcoin will ever dethrone Bitcoin in terms of market cap. Bitcoin has already won the race.

Looking for a wallet that can connect to my Trezor T and support the following: Multisig, Full Node, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

I will say its a waste of time, because you didn't store any bitcoins in that laptop right? even if you did still the chances of recovering the wallet.file is less to none since you formatted it and used it for one years? Which is enough time to rewrite on all the space of your hard drive for sure by considering the year.
Both disk formatting and repartition don't remove the data and there is still a good chance to restore file/s even after the year of the disk usage. Stellar Data Recovery did this for me when I lost the file after restoring OS via its backup image. During the restore the old partitions were deleted while the new ones were formatted. So it is always good to try, read my story if interested. Thanks I'll look into stellar data recovery as well |

Did you buy this notebook from someone else or did you buy it brand new for yourself? This is important, because if you bought it second hand from someone else, the possibility might be that the person you bought it from might have been into Bitcoin at the time, so it will not be time wasted to check. If you bought it brand new, you yourself will know if you used it for Bitcoin or not....right? (You can search for the default "wallet.dat" file like this guy did... https://fabian-kostadinov.github.io/2021/01/07/how-i-found-and-cashed-in-a-bitcoin-wallet-from-2011/Good luck... hope you find something.  I bought it used on craigslist in March 2011 from a gamer young adult male in his mid 20s. I figured the profile might fit as somebody who could possibly have been into btc. I know its an ULTRA long shot, but i figured might as well. I have the technical knowhow to remove the hard drive from the laptop and plug it into my PC. But from there I'm not sure what software I would need to search the drive. I'm proficient in windows only. Sounds like Recuva is all I need? |

I have an old gaming laptop that I purchased used in early 2011. I reformatted the hard drive at least once with windows, used it for maybe a year, and its been dormant since 2012. The chances are slim to none, however, before I chuck the laptop I thought it would be a good idea to at least see if there may have been a bitcoin wallet on the hard drive. Is there any easy way of doing this? Or totally pointless.

Trying to figure out if all this news about tether being a scam/ticking time bomb is a black swan event threat to bitcoin or if it's FUD. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I think I did some recreational mining during the BTC hype of 2017. I didn't do it for long and I doubt its worth anything, but I figure I should try to recover it. Does anybody know where I could start looking? What popular mining software was being used around 2017?
