À mon avis, dans tous les cas un cold wallet sera toujours plus sécurisé que n'importe quel hot wallet. Générer sa clé hors ligne est fondamental.

C'est vrai qu'ajouter une passphrase augmente le niveau de sécurité, si tu te fais cambrioler ou si tu fais l'erreur de stocker ta seed sur un support numérique, en effet, sans la passphrase on ne peut rien faire de ta seed. (même internet nous offre des exemples de gens qui stockaient leur seed + passphrase au même endroit, mais ça, ça me dépasse)

Sauf que dans l'absolu, "impossible" n'est pas vrai : y'a toujours une chance qu'elle soit bruteforçable (pas certain que ce mot existe  ).
Par exemple, le sujet vient d'être abordé sur le forum récemment : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5445794.msg61952460#msg61952460
Si l'attaquant possède un gros dictionnaire, ou qu'il possède une ferme de GPUs, ça peut sentir mauvais. Si il a un indice quelconque sur ce que pourrait être la passphrase, ça pue.

Autre chose : stocker une seed dans un lieu safe est quasi une protection absolue de base. Y ajouter un mot augmente le risque d'oubli du mot en question, de problèmes potentiels en cas de récupération de wallet des années plus tard (cf le topic que j'ai mis juste avant)

C'est comme tout, il y a des avantages et des incovénients. Mais perso, entre un cold wallet (spécialement hardware) et un hotwallet, je choisirai toujours le cold. Et entre un Ledger avec ses 24 mots en guise de seed de base, et un Ledger avec 24 mots + passphrase, je choisirai toujours l'option sans passphrase. Je fais confiance dans ma capacité à stocker mes seeds, beaucoup plus que dans ma capacité à retenir un mot random, une phrase etc..

Wrong topic I think, you should give a look to this one maybe : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275032.0

You can always check here : https://solo.ckpool.org/pool/pool.status

Right now pool if online, and to be honest, I don't remember when was the last time I saw it offline (If I ever saw it down, not sure)

In my opinion, you should use Debian or at least Ubuntu! A Linux distro will be way more secured than Windows. Maybe, it is just my pro-linux propaganda which is talking right now  but it is never too late to start using Linux, and you won't regret it for sure

Ouais exactement ce que je me dis, là c'est bien ficelé et franchement propre. Faut quand même laisser à OP qu'il est resté courtois tout du long, il essaie de défendre son bout de gras avec un minimum d'élégance.

Sinon pour moi c'est pas du chat-bot, sa façon d'écrire me fait beaucoup penser aux Russes qui utilisent Deepl pour écrire en Français.
Je pense qu'il utilise des templates crées par un natif, et qu'il les adapte en fonction de la situation avec un peu de Deepl par ci par là.

En tout cas, tant que c'est compréhensible et pas bourré de fautes, perso ça me dérange pas. Récemment un nouveau membre a posté 5-6 messages dans la partie francophone (je me rappelle plus de qui, un pseudo qui finissait par 11 ou un truc comme ça), et là je me suis demandé si c'était pas ChatGPT lui-même qui nous répondait  

May I ask what is the goal of "gekko-lowboost" ?

The readme only says :
I understand the usage of "--gekko-noboost " but I don't understand what is doing lowboost concretly

It depends. If you are just interested in the principle of mining, and the "lottery" side of solo-mining, you should look at what Sidehack produces as miners: the R606-R909, Gekko Newpac, CompacF, these are small ASIC miners that don't consume a lot of power, and don't need to be monitored if they are well ventilated/cooled. They are very small hashrate miners, it's ideal for home mining, but you won't reach PH/s levels unless you accumulate thousands of them.

Otherwise, recently Canaan had some great promotions on their online site, and the A1166 takes 47J per Th, which is pretty decent.

But in any case it's case by case, it depends on your price paid per kw/h.

I can advise you to look at Willi's Long term Group run: we rent 200TH/s for 6-7 months through a hashrate rental group, and we share the block reward if we have a block. It's a way to get a foot in solo mining without worrying about the hardware and its maintenance, or the electricity ; as it is rental hashrate. We recently hit a block in the Groupbuy#30 but as you know, it is totally random. More informations here if you are interested : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5381245.0

I'm sorry to read that you lost access to your bitcoin.

However I'm not sure that I fully understand, did you lose the seed phrase associated with your ledger?
As far as I know, ledgers have a code with X digits, not a password in words, right?

Can you tell us which wallet you used when you created your password?
Normally your seed should be 24 words long, if you didn't add any. If your wallet was Electrum for example, then your seed phrase would only be 12 words.

Btcrecover is a great tool, as hashcat is too. But I am not sure to understand enough your exact problem to be able to advise 1 specific tool

Good luck with your coins!

From my side, I will not be in bad faith, the site is very fast. The pages load in two or three seconds maximum, it's very responsive. I don't know if the capacity of the servers is limited and if the site slows down a lot when it's busy, but after reading the previous feedbacks, I was pleasantly surprised by the navigation on the site.

The organization and the infrastructure of the site is rather clean, it is pleasant to navigate on it. I only use the dark-mode, so I didn't see the site without dark-mode but overall it didn't give me a headache.

On the other hand, there is a page that surprised me a lot : https://www.coinvotelist.com/kyc-project



Who would want to pay 1 or 1.5 BNB to pass your KYC?
You have no legitimacy to collect, store -and potentially resell- such sensitive personal data.
Who will guarantee that the site will not be down next week? What guarantee do you offer to those who decide to pay? Nothing about the storage, and the security of the said datas.

I find it very shady, we are supposed to contact you on Telegram, to pay you, all that to self-doxx myself to strangers? That won't give confidence to anyone.

Cool quand j'aurai le temps je vais la suivre, peut être qu'il y a des sites méconnus qui valent le coup d'être utilisés !

Dans le même registre, pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas, je conseille l'excellent site : https://kycnot.me/
Il répertorie les options non-KYC pour échanger du BTC/XMR

If we wanted to go all the way, we would also have to delete the metadatas included in the photos of the narketplace's ads posted, not use an address that has been in contact with a CEX for a signature campaign (and I imagine that this is quite often the case).

In absolute terms, you should not buy or sell anything on the forum in order to protect your privacy. You don't know who you are sending your address to.

In my opinion, being careful on the forum is not especially necessary (even if I actively support the principle you defend in this post), because I am sure that a lot of members can be already linked to a deposit/withdrawal made from a CEX via an address they posted here. Even with all the effort, the CEX will cooperate with law enforcement if necessary, and the efforts to protect themselves here will have been for nothing.

Some KYC analysis and validation providers can take up to 3 weeks to process one. This happens, for example Idnow which is the Binance provider for some European countries is known to be extremely slow during high volume times (for example when some websites launches welcome bonuses and promotion and there are a lot of newcomers which are doing KYC in the same moment)

Regarding accounts that get blocked inappropriately, in general, as mentioned above, it is because the player has exceeded the maximum thresholds for withdrawing funds without being checked.

99% of this is written in the terms of use and the players just haven't read them

Exactly!

At the beginning I even wondered if the game had been rigged, I found PSG so bad, and so out of the game! Genesio really did well.

I have to tell you that I'm glad I made the decision to never bet in favor of Paris again. If tomorrow they were to play against a secondary city, I would ask myself the question, but they would still be able to disappoint me once again.

On the other hand, I am much less optimistic than piebeyb about Rennes. I'm convinced they'll get tired before the end of the season and go downhill, as often

Thank you, I wish you to reach your target soon and to enjoy the product of your patience !

Yes, this is another proof that people who spend their time trying to predict future BTC prices on Twitter are just wasting time, and ours if we take some to read them 

News are random in many ways, and so is their impact on the price of bitcoin. Not to mention that a few whales can also have a little fun with the price of the day.

In any case, it's been a very positive start of year for Bitcoin until now, both in terms of price and volume. I'm not one of those who think it will be $1 million in June - like the former CEO of Coinbase and his recent $1 million bet - but I don't pretend to know what the price will be in the future myself.

I don't know if this positive effect on the BTC price will last, I wonder if it's just a fad related to the current US and European banking problems, or if we're headed for a new higher threshold. The boomerang effect is also possible, and no one can say what tomorrow will bring.

Just don’t panic.

1. Secure your seed offline and in a safe place : with the seed backed up, nothing can happen to your BTC even if you delete Electrum from your computer.
If you don’t know how to do it, click on the lock at the bottom right in your Electrum (see screenshot under my message). Write your 12 words and hide the paper as much as possible. This seed, as you probably already know, is the key of your BTC wallet.



2. Download Electrum from their official website (if you want you can verify the signature of the file to be sure it is an original one, but if you don’t know how do it, you could skip this step)

3. Open your new Electrum freshly downloaded

4. Create a new wallet > Standard wallet > I already own a seed and you write your seed previously backed up there (this step must be done offline preferably)

You're right : reading the terms and conditions is very important for the user, it's in his own interest,  it allows him to be credible and in an intelligent position if a problem arises, and he has to dispute something.

For the first part of your message, it depends on the country and the market. If the casino in question is licensed in a regulated country, KYC may be required for every type of FIAT transaction, regardless of the amount.
Take France as example, where even a 0.01 EUR deposit will require KYC if the casino is licensed and under the French national gambling authority regulation.

In general, the casinos have three main criterias that are taken into consideration for the need/or not of KYC:
-Your current geographical location (your IP)
-The market in which you are registered (.com is licensed by Malta most of the time, .fr , .de , .jp etc..)
-The regulator in question: even taking the European Union as an example, the documents required are not the same for a Belgian citizen, for a German one etc. Some countries require POA+ID+Age verification, others only AGE+ID, others nothing at all because they use a centralized national number associated to the social security number etc..

Some countries are less stringent than others

Les virements sont sans frais à l'instant T, mais à ma connaissance aucune banque traditionnelle n'est sans frais non ? Si on me ponctionne des frais de tenue de compte et autres conneries, je ne considère aucune prestation de ma banque comme étant gratuite.

Et par rapport à Revolut, j'ai eu une mauvaise surprise récemment. Après 4 de bons et loyaux services rendus, je me suis décidé à ferme le compte car ma carte était périmée, et pas vraiment de moyen qu'ils me livrent dans mon trou perdu. Tout se passe bien, et 48 heures après, ils m'envoient un email dans lequel ils me réclament 43 euros de frais.
Aucun détail sur les dits frais, je n'ai jamais souscrit à Metal ou Premium ou n'importe quelle option payante. J'attends toujours leur réponse à ce sujet.

Je suis d'accord que c'est pas incroyable comme montant, mais je me demande si c'est une pratique courante chez eux de demander de l'argent lors d'une clôture de compte, sans justifier quoi que ce soit.

Après ça me semble toujours plus honnête que les frais chez Boursorama, 5 euros par mois où tu n'utilises pas ta carte, ça me semble un peu exagéré. Si t'es à l'étranger et que tu souhaites pas payer des frais sur tes retraits/paiements, tu paies 5 euros par mois pour une carte inactive 

Trop bien tes gravures !

Si un jour tu en fais une Genesis Block je te l'achète direct !
