The seed is just another way of representing a random 128-bit number. You'll have about as much luck bruteforcing that as a private key.

You can generate your Keys from Bitcoin Core wallet. You can't get more secure than this if you are not OK with electrum's key generating algo. You don't even have to sync it. (or be Online)

Use exportprivkey command and again store it. Same logic applies.

IMO you can't get anything safer than a onffline generated Priv key by Bitcoin Core software. From that point It is all about how you store that piece of paper. Shouldn't be that hard.

You can always extract your private keys from electrum, write them down (paper wallet style), delete your wallet files/format your PC.

I use electrum just like this.

No HW wallet here.

That slow buying is easy, however slow selling is more problematic, especially since some coins you bought 5.5 years ago, although it depends on whether you use FIFO or LIFO accounting (the latter is simpler, but maybe less common). FIFO would guarantee at least long term cap gains status, which is much lower in US vs short term gains that are taxed by your tax bracket.

In addition, in a case of an old coin sell, properly splitting off at least 3, maybe 4 meaningful forks is also an annoying task.

So I'm thinking this libra nonsense will get heavily regulated, the states would be insane not to. And that will then be used as an excuse to regulate crypto in general, and bitcoin especially. It might be a good time to get around to moving elsewhere for those planning to do so.

Autism overload.  It's not possible for the price of Bitcoin to go to the moon and not have mining massively expand to match.  Nobody would ever buy an $80k Bitcoin if they can just mine one for $3k cost of production.  But it's not really possible for mining to increase by something like an order of magnitude or it would probably use more power than the entire United States.  In other words, the Bitcoin pump and dump scam is now butting up against the limits of the natural world for how high it can be artificially rigged with Tethers.

You can lie to yourself and everyone else all you want, it won't help.  Bitcoin has zero fundamentals due to transaction validators being designed to centralize, so it's a non-fungible, permissioned ledger, govt tracking system that abolishes the 5th amendment.  Then the Lightning Network is another scam recreation of the already existing banking system, but even while being a scam to bait and switch everyone into the same banking system as before where every single transaction is routed through a bank, inherits the base layer scaling problems and doesn't even scale enough to onboard people dumb enough to sign up for it.

There is nothing whatsoever 'inevitable' about the entire planet tripping over their own feet to sign up for such garbage.  Even if it had good fundamentals - it doesn't - the world could still completely ignore or boycott it anyway. You're just another garbage millenial who was spamming bullshit like "HURR ETHEREUM WORLD COMPUTER" a few months ago until the bottom fell out of that scam and now you've moved to a new scam.  In the end, the only thing that actually matters is fundamentals, and metals have them all while imaginary, valueless, centralized, permissioned ledger shitcoins have zero.

Russia and China aren't stacking imaginary, valueless, digital shitcoins you fools:

Gee, I wonder what possible replacement to the dollar could be he's talking about?  Could it be?  Physical metals???

   I'm don't think satoshi planned for the 1mb size to be immutable. When Garzik suggested a patch to increase block size, satoshi stated this can be phased in later. I'm not certain the segwit work around was quite what satoshi had in mind. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.0

Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale.

Bitcoin and BitDNS can be used separately.  Users shouldn't have to download all of both to use one or the other.  BitDNS users may not want to download everything the next several unrelated networks decide to pile in either.

The networks need to have separate fates.  BitDNS users might be completely liberal about adding any large data features since relatively few domain registrars are needed, while Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices.

Zerohedge far more represents the mainstream than this forum, and Zerohedge was roughly 70% anti-(((digital shitcoins))) in the last poll that was held there.  The synopsis of this forum is nothing more than scammers scamming scammers.

but how to import the private key with the prefix "3"?

in "info" I have only these instructions:

If yes, where do I get the reference doc?

server=1
rpcuser=foo
rpcpassword=bar
txindex=1
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:29000
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:29000

java -jar eclair-node-gui-<version>-<commit_id>.jar

java -jar eclair-node-<version>-<commit_id>.jar

Another bullshit pereira4 post.  The vast majority of Zerohedge is anti-(((digital shitcoin))).  I'd estimate 70% against, 30% for.  It's not "HURR only stupid boomers don't like digital shitcoin scams because they can't understand it!". The Jewish occupied western governments dumped metals on the market to try and suppress the price make believing they have god-like power over the planet and can force everyone into digital slavery coins, so they wouldn't need to keep any around as reserve.

Countries like Canada have literally ZERO gold reserves.  ZERO.  The US claims they have 8000 tons, but from my estimates, the number is somewhere between 0 to 2000 tons max.  They did rig the silver market and acquire 1/3rd the silver on the entire planet as an emergency backup plan, though.  Anyway, the point is that allowing the Jewish occupied governments run by criminal bankers to foist digital currency scams on top of you IN LIEU of physical metals is just letting them off the hook when they should not be.  The plan is full rejection of digital shitcoin scams and all these IMF/BIS/and other Jew scum to be executed for their crimes.

actually 32mb was a technical based limit of networking related to packets. but 1mb is a arbitrary limit of human imposition
fee war is a wild west zero control human decided imposition that solves nothing but used to avoid real solutions.

Just like you can't send a house, car, boat, or drumstick over a phone line.  You can't send ANYTHING of value over a phone line.  If something can be sent over a phone line, it doesn't mean it's worth something, it means it's WORTHLESS.

Awesome. Where can I find the source for the first pic?

I had a R32 GTR. Without a shadow of a doubt the most hateful vehicle I have ever possessed. Everything went wrong, it handled and braked like shit. The engine was incredible so some day I will place one in a Morris Minor and enjoy the sole bright spot that car had to offer.

Ideally I'd like to buy back that specific car so I can slowly cut it to pieces with tin snips but I think it got scrapped which made me smirk.

Bitcoin is not a resource or commodity.  It's an imaginary, valueless, designed to centralize, government tracking system token.  The goal of all Keynesian scams is to give someone something of zero value while stealing their resources, goods, or labor that actually does have value.  Only a moron accepts a Keynesian scam for their goods or labor.

Nice red herring cube that doesn't even include the main problems at all like having zero fundamentals from transaction validators being designed to centralize, or the completely illogical scaling issues where even if Lightning Network was a valid scaling solution (it's not), most of the coin supply would probably be stranded as dust with the cost of opening a channel higher than the value of the dust.  But that's an inherent terminal error of any of these high overhead, low performance, slavechain tracking system tokens.

In a market perspective, the consequences of such stealing of Segwit outputs would be like what happened to the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum forked after the DAO hack, rolling back and thus, having the shortest blockchain at that point. The original one (that is, the one retaining the original chain after the DAO hack) was hence called "ethereum classic". However, both investors and miners flocked to the forked chain, and it gained more hashrate, surpassing the classic chain both in value and power. It also retained its original name.

So, what would happen, in a market perspective, is that both chains would start with the same value, but the one forked by Core (technically, Core would have to rollback, to reverse the stealing of Segwit outputs, thus forking like ethereum did) would receive more value, even if dont go straight to a PoS model at first.

We need to weigh down human behaviour on this event. Investors dont have a clue about immutability in the protocol, they dont even know how the protocol works, so they would mistrust the miners, and in such a way that it would put the PoW model into question. It could even affect the altcoin market, with several coins switching to a PoS model. Notice that, right now, ethereum is going to a hybrid between PoS and PoW, and this give a clue of what would happen to bitcoin in case of this attack.

The PoS model would also attract institutional money. Banks gained power through stacking in the debt-based fiat system. They dont like bitcoin because they dont have more power than the miners over it. The miners would lose their power if they steal the Segwit outputs, and ultimately, the theft would be reversed, like it happened with ethereum. So, I believe this wont happen at all, unless the miners want to consciously end their business. If the electrical companies benefit from mining, I dont see why this should happen.

But in case it happens, it would be better to have most of your output in legacy addresses, as this would maximize the airdrop. People who only hold in Segwit adresses would not receive coins from the miners chain, as their coins would be the ones stolen on that chain.

Okaaayy....


Ok, so what's your point?


Oh I see - you're deluded. Carry on.

Now that we've crossed the $9,000 barrier, why not take a look at the McAfee model again:



Assuming another %600-ish parabolic increase, it would put us around $65,000, which would mean McAfee may not have to heat his own dick as the model would be back on track. Consider that we went above %245 of the mean prediction line at the $20k peak, so there's a big margin of error. If moon and stars align (or ETF and halving) who knows. We'll have to find out in the next episode of McAfee Balls Z.

Edit: Actually funny how we just broke the nonlinear regression curve and given past precedents, the potential for a bullrun is around $60k



Maybe McAfee can keep his manhood after all. Hang on tight.
