Bigger blocksize will be non-sense if nobody uses it. But today it seems to be necessary at least that is what I think. Today's days there are over 40K pending transactions, most of them caused by the euphoria about the news around the bitcoin ETF of bitcoin. But those Transactions are going to be distributed in approximately 119 Blocks Lets remember the news some month ago: Bitcoin mempool reaches 600K transactions . I think that some long run proposals at least should be taken into consideration. For example lets to said that more of the 50% of the volume of the transactions is moved to the Lightning Network, I think that at this point miners aren't going to be happy, for they it should be cheap stop mining and start Lightning nodes? I propose something like add 1MB per block each 8 halvings that is every 32 years Quoting some concerns about it: There are consequences with 2-megabyte blocks. Chinese miners -- they are now [for] 2- megabyte blocks, but maybe it will turn out to be a problem for them . . . Every second really counts . . . When you mine a block that is no longer valid and you don’t get the information that a new block is here, you’re wasting lots of energy. If it’s just ten seconds you mine on the wrong block, you lose energy, and you lose coins in the end. That’s why, with Chinese miners [especially], every second counts, and [with] 2-megabyte [blocks], it’s twice the bandwidth you need. If in 32 years in the future send a extra megabyte is still a concern, i think that we should be disappointed of that future

i want to develop a way to measure distance between 2 public keys
There is no way to know the distance between 2 publickey that would break ECDSA what i mean by distance is the time it takes to reach from point B to point A
What? that doesn't have sense, what you mean by time? running time of a program? or what? Number of steps?

Retirement for sure. Unless the dollar has crashed...
The question is when it is going to collapse. For example the next two news are some worrisome $18,500,000,000 in US Treasuries Sold by BRICS Trio of China, India and Brazil in One Month$84,500,000,000 Exits JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup in Three Months As Depositors Take FlightMaybe the headlines are some clickbait but if that is real that means that the dollar is moving to the end of its hegemony

Maybe he had already lost the coins permanently, maybe it was all a lie
Those both are interesting options, maybe he already wasted the two last attempts. Well also its very unlikely that he lied, maybe he has some bitcoins there but he doesn’t know the amount of it. I never was too paranoid to put something in a USB with PIN, I prefer GPG for that instead. This remember the guy who supposedly have some millions of USD in an Samsung S3 but he forgot the pattern, at the end some guys carefully unlock with some cool method and it weren’t millions it was just somo 150 USD instead…. See the video on: Hacking a Samsung Galaxy for $6,000,000 in Bitcoin!?

Local / Español (Spanish) / Re: Retiro de BTC desde Binance - ¿Qué obtenemos realmente?

Q) ¿Alguien entiende bien las diferencias/ restricciones entre elegir la opción BTC Segwit o BTC? (pensaba que BTC también permitiría el retiro sobre BTC segwit (bc1), además de los demás formatos de direcciones, salvo quizás Taproot (no tengo claro que soporte Taproot - creo que no).
Puedo confirmar que Binance no es compatible con Taproot. Respecto al momento de elegir la opcion no recuerdo ver que me ofreciera retirar con las opciones de btc y btc segwit, en su momento solo recuerdo seleccionar la red de bitcoin y pegar la direccion, creo que automaticamente elige entre btc y btc segwit, creo que la opcion de btc a secas se refiere direcciones legacy, pero no deberia de existir distincion entre estas ya que los fondos que envia binance provienen de una direccion P2SH por lo que no deberia de existir distincion entre estas (en lo que a comision se refiere).

I'm quite happy to be able to say I don't have such a thing I like fungibility of money, not the opposite At least that should be a proof that his accont was not hacked or sell. I am curious about how he lost his key, that may be a new thread for it, i mean only if he want to tell us that history.

Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Careful scammers and hackers using mail spoofing
|
on: October 23, 2023, 02:13:31 AM

I've receive that kind of email, but those aren't true, they only use mail spoofing, depending of your email provider it can show you some details like who signed that message, example: I receive similar messages but those aren't signed by my email provider, also they show you some leaked password from some site databreak. But if you use a different password for each site you shouldn't worry we should always update it maybe 2-3 times a month or what you prefer.
In theory that is the best option but if you do that i recomend you to use a password manager that can be sincronized between devices because it can be dificult to track every password that you use. In my case i use a different password for every single page. Remember to enable to Second factor authentication for everery site, but avoid 2FA by SMS becasuse it can be vulnerable to SIM swap. Regards!

Listo, eso era lo que faltaba. Ya desencripte tus mensajes ambos mensajes estan orden! Se necesitaba colocar la llave publica en el campo indicado, por alguna razon pense que electrum podria determinar cual llave publica utilizar si es que tenias la misma vinculada, pero no es asi, tienes que especificar la llave publica y ya con eso electrum utiliza la llave privada (Vinculada en tu wallet) para desencyptar el mensaje.

Lógicamente es menos genérico en alcance que el uso de PGP, pero para los más bitcoineros, parece una opción interesante.
No sabia que Electrum tenia esa opcion, voy a tratar de utilizarla, respecto al mensaje que mandaste no he podido realizar el desencriptado Seguramente estoy thaciendo algo mal, voy a tratar de utilizar el script que mencionan en la conversacion que citas. El primero es teórico, y consiste en que si cualquier día soy investigado por cualquier circunstancia (Dios no lo quiera), que exista un flujo de mensajes encriptados ya es un indicio de criminalidad
Por que tiene que ser indicio de criminalidad?? Se supone que la privacidad es un derecho humano: https://www.ohchr.org/es/privacy-in-the-digital-age/international-standards-relating-digital-privacyClaro hay quienes dicen que si no se tiene nada que temer no se deberia de esconder nada, pero bueno eso ya es un debate entre los gobiernos y los activistas de los derechos humanos. Uno de los principales usos que le estoy dando hoy en dia es sobre almacenar tus contraseñas y claves privadas de forma segura mediante gpg y la herramienta password-store Password Store - Un administrador de contraseñas de codigo abierto el cual me funciona muy bien en windows (WSL), linux y en Android (termux) asi ya he dejado de utilizar el gestor de contraseñas de google.

Es interesante ver cómo se desenvuelve este tipo de noticias, por lo visto la única manera de salir bien librado de esto es no tocar ningún CEX Hago público una prueba que realize hace unos días, sobre los fondos proveniente directamente de estás campañas en específico la campaña en la que estoy participando Yo! Mix Como curiosidad solicite un reporte de AML sobre la dirección, estos son los resultados: Parece ser que solo un 35% del origen de los fondos están marcados como sospechos o peligrosos, sinceramente no sé cómo interpretarlo, pero lo que me queda claro y para evitar problemas es que no mandaré eso a un CEX ya que me pueden bloquear el balance.

dude that is real demand.
@philipma1957 are you getting fun? I don't see the point to discuse with someone that don't want to see the obvious, @JamesNZ is a bitcoin hater just like the other guy jvanname. [sarcasm] No one in the world want a decentralized and robust P2P system of interchange of value that remove of the Intermediates banks and government Obvious there is no demand for that right? [/sarcasm]
