Not everything has to be involve to Bitcoin.  I think it's a government issue that has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Although the internet is required to manage bitcoins.The country you live in may have government-run internet services down.But you can use other internet services.  A country's government will never shut down all the internet in their country, because today it is impossible to do anything without the internet.  Maybe there is some error in the government internet due to which the internet service is down now.I don't think it's permanently closed, maybe temporarily.Hope the government will solve this problem soon.

Yet you would get the clue here. Nobody knows what you are asking. This also made fillippone to create thread on him. So you can also go there to have some information. The way he (DdmrDdmr) responses to post as comments and post does not look a robot as for your thinking. He responses according to the thread but if it was a robot it would have done some out of point comments which doesn't look the same way with the original thread or comment. But he makes comments accurately.

This concern/question is more like for DdmrDdmr, i guess messaging him for give you the answer you are looking for instead of us speculating the matter, just my two cents.

On Lightning, the funding transaction spends some Bitcoin UTXO, creating a multisignature UTXO to open the channel. Once the bitcoin is locked within that channel, portions of it can be sent back and forth within the channel, without the need to create any change. This is because the channel partners simply update the channel balance and only create a new UTXO when the channel is eventually closed using the channel closing transaction.

 Mining Fees Versus Routing Fees
On the Bitcoin network, users pay fees to miners to have their transactions included in a block. These fees are paid to the miner who mines that particular block. The amount of the fee is based on the size of the transaction in bytes that the transaction is using in a block, as well as how quickly the user wants that transaction mined. Because miners will typically mine the most profitable transactions first, a user who wants their transaction mined immediately will pay a higher fee per byte, while a user who is not in a hurry will pay a lower fee per byte.

On the Lightning Network, users pay fees to other (intermediary node) users to route payments through their channels. To route a payment, an intermediary node will have to move funds in two or more channels they own, as well as transmit the data for the sender’s payment.Mining Fees Versus Routing Fees

I think, to discourage clogging the blockchain, you could implement a fee structure that charges lower fees for smaller transactions and higher fees for larger transactions. The fee validation process would involve classifying transactions based on size or complexity, and validators or miners would verify the provided fee. Insufficient fees may result in rejection or lower priority for inclusion in the blockchain

I believe your concern also has to do with the closure of the longest running campaign (chipmixer) on the forum and the investigation ongoing on the issues of money laundering and maybe any other fraudulent activities the FBI might charge them with in the future. You shouldn't  be worried as I think the forum is safe from any charges the FBI is giving to chipmixer

Bitcointalk is basically just a forum platform where people discuss about all things crypto. It doesn't endorse any particular businesses, and therefore cannot be held responsible for any shady business going down.

Now, when it comes to signature campaigns, the responsibility falls on the organizers and the members themselves. The forum cannot be held accountable for the actions and choices made by individuals participating in these campaigns and who choose to wear certain signatures. But, there are also rules in place, right? Members are not allowed to promote illegal activities, and that applies to signatures too.

So, the bottom line is that everyone has to take personal responsibility. Bitcointalk provides a platform, but it is up to the users to make sure they are not doing things that could get them into trouble or engage in any activities that may have legal implications.

I want to use this very medium  to thank God almighty for adding one year to my life and also making  it possible to be alive to witness my senior member rank unlock.

I had a little reminisce on my merits and journey  so far and hence I had to visit  my merit dashboard and words will really fail me if I'm express my gratitude  to all those who helped physically  to busrt my journey and growth in the forum and judging from my merit dashboard


I want to specially thank @Brainboss for how much you have loved a total stranger and i guess you started monitoring  me the first day I identified as a Nigerian and I'm glad and honored  you found my post worthy of your merits and I had to specially  thank you when I get to this very rank and I'm saying thank you again.

@ fillippone, most of the merits i got from you were mostly from your merit give away thread and I want to say a big thank you for finding my posts meritable enough but one more thing, and I also want to plead that when next you see my profile, please trying the rewards for the post. Thanks 😊

@348Judah, sir I'm truly  short of words when I saw you falling on the third position of my merit summary list because I know you don't run a merit give away thread, hence you truly rewarded my efforts and I just want to say thank you and please forgive me for been insensitive  to this.

@Welsh, your merits made my day the very day you sent over 16 merits to me and I was like wow, now I understand  the importance of quality  as profiles might get accessed by anyone at anytime.
Thank you so much sir for remembering me that very day.

@Ratimov, thank you for pushing me to this position  and your 12 merits did the magic and I'm truly grateful. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much for your love and I will always try my best to be an active member of the forum.
Thanks for all that you do and will keep doing for me, I'm grateful.

Congratulations.

You can post it on this thread next time: Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!

Well said and nice advice too but I feel in such case the coins will definitely be needed to sell off because Op is currently running a business and in business the money gotten from the sales of the product and services  are used to restock the business so as the person can easily evaluate the proposed profits from the business. And if this is the case with Op, then an exchange wish was advised is probably the best option.

At first I thought that everything had to be resolved and became the responsibility of the government, but after I was an assistant to government staff it turned out that government problems were very complicated and needed many parties to solve them. work then the best step is to trade or farm.

As a newbie, you have to focus on 1 thing, you have to just focus on 1 coin that you are interested. For example, If you want to focus on bitcoin, then you have to download a wallet that has bitcoin only inside, for example, electrum. If you download a wallet that has many altcoins inside like trust wallet, coinomi and etc, I am really sure it will make you careless about safety, it will make you not focus, your brain will split with too many think, this ever happened to me.

Well you can not prevent everyone from falling victim to ponzi scheme, some people are just unawera and also uninformed about things that happen around them. I don't know for others though but some times we really can not blame some people that fall into these schemes because most of them have really passes through some difficult situations in their life and when they hear about anything that can give them quick profit, they will just divert their attention to it and if they just hear one or two person giving testimony about the ponzi, they will totally agree to it, not knowing that it's just a plot by those ponzi platform to win the trust of a whole lot of people and when they have succeeded in doing so, they will just carry out their plans of ceasing all individuals funds and disappear.
