I know some other exchanges will credit you once you hit that minimum deposit. So if your minimum deposit is .001 and then send another .0005 and then another .0005 you will get full credit  for the .001.
Can't speak to the policy of OKX, but it might be worth an e-mail to support to find out.
The other one it's still pending according to your post, you might get both credited once the other one hits. Or not, let's face it most exchanges are trying to suck every last penny out of their customers & don't care if they lose some customers along the way.

There will always be more customers willing to give them money, because nobody pays attention to most of these threads showing how bad some of these exchanges are really are.

Yes it SHOULD, this is just another verification. It's straight math more or less and 1+1 should always = 2 but as we are seeing here for some reason it does not.

Beingcrypto, what script did you use from chatGPT yesterday?

Did you import the keys as a test when you generated them? Sorry if you already answered that, I'm on mobile tunneling into my laptop so scrolling through the post is not easy.

No idea what the value of this is, and since were are so few of them made and even fewer graded I figure a reverse auction is the way to go.
Could be totally wrong, but why not give it a shot.

For those not familiar, a reverse auction is where I start the bidding at price "X" which may or may not be high for what the item is worth and then over time I slowly drop it until someone buys it.

And it also allows for more privacy, you can PM me that you want it and you get it. No, public info if you don't want it.

Check below the images for more information.





It originally sold for BTC0.07  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4731555.0
So that is where I'll start this.

The payment address is: bc1qdufcfvlqtuhed84qrs4lfrhfla2ryw6jzljezu

Will drop it every few days until it sells.

So as of 28-May-2023 it's BTC0.07 shipped US
4-June-2023 Dropping to BTC0.0625
8-June-2023 Dropping to BTC0.0600
19-June-2023 Dropping to BTC0.0575
25-June-2023 Dropping to BTC0.0525
6-July-2023 Dropping to BTC0.05
31-July-2023 Dropping to BTC0.0475

I WILL NOT ship this out of the US. This not me being difficult. I cannot leave things that need customs forms at either my home or job to be picked up, and since I violated the no international rule the other day I have had something that sold on another unrelated forum in my car for over a week trying to get to the Post Office during business hours to drop it off. I know minerjones https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346731 has re-shipped internationally for other people here so he might be able to do it for this too. But, I am not volunteering his (or anyone) else's reship service.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask. (And yes, Dave are you out of your mind asking so much for this is a valid question, but the answer still is...don't know what it's worth so it's as good a place as any to start it...)

Take a quick read here: https://gist.github.com/TheTrunk/30ff5ef59d3063f465cc766a4a64a397 to get a general idea of what may be going on.

Try this tool: https://iancoleman.io/bitcoin-key-compression/  Use it offline (obviously)

It will give you the address of the compressed and uncompressed key. Is the uncompressed address that is showing when you are importing it?

Did you verify the address that you have has funds using a block explorer?

-Dave

1) Where / how did you generate those keys?

2) What software did you create them with?
2a) Do you still have access to it?

3) Are you sure the addresses you have for them are accurate?

4) Did you check a block explorer to make sure there are funds in them?

5) You said 1 key started with an L but you put K for both, just a typo?

Just easier if we have more info all at once as opposed to everyone asking 1 question at a time.

-Dave

What I don't think many people grasp is the time involved new technologies to be adopted. Go back to in the 90s when the Internet was catching on everybody thought it was this great new thing. But it really came into existence in early 1983. And before that for decades you had people dialing in through modems too other systems.

This is about money camera this is about financial independence.

So now take a look at it from that perspective, credit cards came along in the 1950s and it was still 30 plus years before they became ubiquitous for use in our society. I even remember back in the mid to late 80s where many places did not accept credit cards it was cash or check only. When online banking became a thing it still took a while for people to really accept Titus. And now there are a lot of banks that you could only deal with online. It does not have to become more user friendly, between all the web wallets and other wallets that make it incredibly simple to buy and sell crypto. It just has to hit that tipping point of use where it's everywhere.

I am not a fan of square and their wallet and the entire cash app thing. Let me make that clear. But if they ever get off their ass and fulfill their promise of every one of their terminals taking cryptocurrency payments you're going to see usage and adoption goes through the roof. Because this might be in New York centric thing, I see their terminals everywhere in small businesses.

-Dave

unbanked.com is shutting down.

https://unbanked.com/unbanked-will-be-winding-down/

Not sure how many people here were using their service. But I know not everybody has gotten the official e-mail about them shutting down yet. I got one, but two other people who have accounts there did not. Could be they're sending the emails out in batches or they might have gotten eaten by a spam filter someplace.

I don't know if their card was mentioned on this thread at all but I figured it's good to put this information out there.

-Dave

What I find surprising is the fact that with the number of people some of these coin makers have stolen from nobody has found them and just beaten the crap out of them.
I don't think violence would solve anything, and I don't think any violence should be done to these people. I am just talking about the number of people involved in the amount of money involved it's just a testament to the fact that either:

1)We as a group are calmer then most
or
2) as a group we are incredibly lazy

I'm not just talking Titan and yogg but over the years everybody who has ripped off everybody, nobody or at least nobody has reported, any physical violence done to these people.

As a group humans are not usually prone to being rational; and there is always that person that says screw it they'll never able to figure out who did it and take a bat to the perpetrators...

Nice to see we are better than that.

-Dave

Are you using clearnet or TOR?
I'm not entirely sure, but I have seen with certain things coming through certain TOR endpoints getting that error.
Before you go nuts trying to diagnose a lightning issue, if you are on TOR, try going out through a different endpoint / recreating the circuit. Or try connecting on clearnet.

Might not be the issue, but it's worth checking.

The main thing to keep in mind is that with most camera possibly all of the hardware wallets out there today they are using standardized chips to perform the functions. So yes these chips might be doing something shady, but and this is important, it would be doing it for all the devices that they are used on. So if something was wrong with them it would not just involve hardware wallets.

Also, there are many eyes on these chips camera so while yet again they could be doing what they are doing, some very brilliant cryptographers and security people probably would have already seen something being “off" with them. They might not know exactly what is wrong, but they would know something is wrong.

At the end of the day it's been proven time and time again back the humans that use the devices are by far the weakest link.

There are people that keep using certain hardware wallets even though they have been proven to be security risks or outright vulnerable to attacks. And yet they are still being sold and people are still using. At that point, why would you even bother making a chip that is vulnerable, it's easier just to start your own hardware wallet manufacturing company and sell it cheap enough that people buy it no matter how much other people scream that it's not secure.

-Dave

Is there a way to steal legally?

I'm just putting it out there, what people say or do or tell you is 100% not important.
What matters is the T&C you clicked "I agree" on.
You may be able to get some satisfaction based on their wording vs what really happened. But chats, and live streams and so on have gone through the courts in several countries over the last few years and it still came back to what T&C you agreed to.

Obviously, this will depend on where you are in the world, but so far as far as I have seen, there has been nothing that went to court and came out any other way.

Now, there have been cases where the T&C were found to be bad / wrong / unenforceable. But that is a different story.

-Dave

The more adoption happens loud hell things will become. Just because more people mean more trades what less dramatic trades as it's impossible to spike the price in either direction as there will be more people either side of the spike buffering it.

However, regulations are entirely different aspect. As regulations are proposed there will be more volatility as people try to figure out what's going on and try to make money bye bedding one way or the other about how the regulations will check the price. As regulations take effect, once again people will be betting as to what happens and will put a lot more pressure on the coin maybe either direction increase in volatility. And then the third stage would be after the regulations have been in effect for a while and people know what happens, they will help reduce volatility as it shows that BTC can be come a normal thing in commerce.

As always, not investment advice, just my opinion.

-Dave

As I said a few posts up I really don't have the time to do anything with it.
No idea why there are more coins then there should be, @number435398 might be able to figure it out.

Some thoughts.

If you fork you are still going to have to deal with all the people that are still holding old coins or you are going to have a lot pissed off people.
If you create a new coin you are going to have to figure out a way for old people to keep what they have.

As you can see, if you look through the thread for the past 6 years or so number435398 was the only person who did anything with the code and tried to keep a pool up (which died) and the explorer. Was on an exchange but it got hacked. BUT I can see other people running nodes and others mining so there is some activity.

If you want to run with something or even just recompile the wallet and get some bugs out I don't that people would complain about that.

I have the .net and .com domains so if you come up with something better I can point them wherever.

@dnp you still around?

-Dave

And they are sold.


Title says it all.
#'s T 4037 & T 4038
Asking 0.015BTC for the pair shipped anywhere in the USA.
BTC address: 3MgvKpHSBB67e42XXM5S9g4KCbHLhguNb5
Can also take the equivalent amounts in some alts or send you a LN invoice.

I will not ship internationally, but will ship to anyone who you want to re-ship to you.
If you have any questions ask.





Cleaning out a lot of stuff. So there will be a lot of things listed over the coming weeks. If you have something specific you might want ask and I'll take a look, but no I am not going to go and make a complete list I just don't have the time at the moment.

-Dave

Probably not right place to put this, but, if you want a MK3 ColdCard to tinker with and are US based, send me a PM.

It's used so you should not consider it safe and secure anymore but if you just want one to see what it's all about and tinker with one PM me.
Not going to ship internationally, it's literally going to go in a padded envelope with first class postage. $25 and it's yours.

Truly amazing what you find when doing spring cleaning around the office....

-Dave

With all the other mistakes they have made through the years, and all the other issues with their products, do you think their first shot at designing a secure element is going to be good? Companies that have been designing and building SE for years and years still have massive issues now and then. Their first product out of the gate is either going to be perfect or an unmitigated disaster.

For this hack yes, you need physical access and specialized hardware and specific knowledge, but part of the point of a hardware wallet is is supposed to be idiot proof and secure out of the box. Without putting in an extra password and everything else. The fact that they did not issue a more dire warning about their security vulnerabilities in the past just really puts them in my do not use file.

-Dave

Since I deal with some things like this for work. I will have to say that this that is usually true it's not always true.
There are efficient ways of handling large amounts of flat data files even massive numbers of them.

Folder trees with a file that gives locations does work really well. So long as it's programmed properly.

The mail archive we run does this and I can pull one message out of millions that was received years ago that is buried in a zip file in a fraction of a second.
BUT, the entire app was written with that in mind.

So, no it's not that it cannot be done. Just that it should not be done unless you have a specific reason.

-Dave

I think that is going to happen no matter how a L2 protocol is done. There's going to be some providers that are going to take a large percentage of whatever service there is. It's just the nature of how it's has to be done. Once money is involved, people are going to only slowly put their own funds in. However, there will always be people in the beginning that took a larger risk with more money and grew and grew and grew. The flip side is if this particular L2 solution goes away or fails or has other issues then those people will lose significantly more money then some guy named Dave who said what the heck I'll put a couple of $100 into this and see what happens.

As for the protocol in general. It looks interesting but as you and others have pointed out it's dependent on other B IP's being finalized and released so it's still a ways away who knows what will change between now and then.

-Dave

Miners are profit driven. If the cost of power + 30% is still less then the base cost of power in some location then it is in another location then all other things being equal (labor, rent, internet costs, insurance, etc.) then miner will mine there.

Upstate NY is a prime example. Labor is expensive, but hydro power is cheap, rent is cheap, insurance is average. So even without other intensives a lot of miners moved there.

There have been a few posts about Mississippi & Missouri passing bills to help protect miners. But, we are not hearing about miners moving to those locations since the cost of power is only OK at best.

There are some remote locations with just about free geothermal power. But there is no good multi-homed reliable high speed internet and good luck getting people to work in the middle of nowhere.

-Dave

No, the fee structure is fine as it is. The only thing changing it will do is add complexity and cause more issues.
Even now people are severely underpaying or overpaying what is needed causing confusion.
Add more tiers and you are going to wind up with about a billion questions of 'why is this a tier 2 it should be a tier 1' and so on.

Take a look at block 791175 someone paid 1023 sat/vB when just about 50 sat/vB would have made it into the block.
Can you picture adding tiers to that?
