Yes, OG did delete the messages where he laughed about punching out LoyceV's teeth and selling them here on the forum.
Why is he not banned for breaking forum rules?
8. No threats to inflict bodily harm, death threats.

Moderator could delete this topic if possible since the problem is solved!
Mods won't delete it, so others can read it too. Best you can do is lock (bottom-left) this topic.

To put it simply, I developed a mint inscription tool, and then they donated about 5,000 transactions to me, and each transaction was (2000 Satoshi).
Now I find that I can't get these Bitcoins because I need a lot of gas. This is a cost I cannot accept Cry
There is no "gas", there's only "transaction fees" in Bitcoin.

So you have 0.1 BTC in dust. Yep, you're screwed. And since those "inscription" spammers are the cause of the high transaction fees, it feels like sweet karma to me Tongue
Either way, just wait. If fees drop enough, you can consolidate them at 1 sat/vbyte. You're going to need patience.

A month ago, the highest paying campaigns on this forum: $250 per week.
A month ago, the highest paying campaigns on this altscointalk: $0.
Now: the only campaign that pays the most in this forum: $150.
On altscoinstalk: $45.
A year from now: we'll see.
All I see here is that "altscoinstalk" can expect a lot of competition! If it's that easy to get people to earn $45 per week on a new forum, there's a lot of money to be made for the forum itself too, and new forums will emerge.

Nothing can takeaway over 14 years of history of this forum.
There have been Bitcointalk clones before Wink It shouldn't be that difficult to clone the entire site again, but on a different domain with different rules.

I think it's only a matter of time before forums as a place for discussions become a thing of the past
I don't think so. That would only leave a few "social media" ruled by multinationals. I don't ever visit those, and I'm not alone in that.

If governments get their way, they'd end that too. Once in a while a n00b politician already suggests to ban encryption.

I understand nobody can know for 100% but do you guys and girls think we will see fee's go down to example 15 sat/vB for Medium Priority again anytime soon?
Since the massive blockchain spam seems to be caused by just one entity, it's impossible to predict anything about this.
1088  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum: how to use Full RBF? on: January 16, 2024, 03:37:54 PM
They disable that feature months ago since version 4.4.0 so now it's impossible to enable, disable it.

The team made this commit to turn RBF by default and remove all RBF settings.
If that's the case, then why can't you apply RBF to a transaction that doesn't have RBF set? That would be a useful feature to add to the GUI in Electrum.

How about Legendary user finist4x? It woke up last week, and posts chatbot diarrhea on the tech boards:

In recent times, many users have found themselves grappling with high fees when attempting to rebalance their channels. This has led to questions and concerns about the reasons behind these increased costs. One prevailing question is whether these fees are directly related to on-chain transaction fees, or if there are other factors at play.

It's worth noting that the surge in fees for rebalancing channels may not be solely attributed to on-chain transaction costs. While on-chain fees can certainly have an impact, there are other considerations to take into account. One potential factor contributing to the high fees could be the need for users to compensate for the expenses associated with opening and closing channels, in addition to routing fees.

And this on the altcoins board:
Eric Balchunas' prediction of a 70% chance of the SEC approving an Ethereum spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in May has sparked significant interest and speculation within the cryptocurrency and investment communities. The impending review of multiple Ethereum spot ETF applications by the SEC, including those from VanEck, Ark 21Shares, and Hashdex, has heightened anticipation for potential regulatory acceptance of Ethereum-based investment products.

While digital asset lawyer Joe Carlasare shares optimism about the approval of an Ethereum spot ETF this year, he offers a cautious perspective on the timeline of the approval process. His insight underscores the complexities and considerations involved in regulatory decision-making, suggesting that investors should be prepared for potential delays in the approval process.

The potential approval of Ethereum spot ETFs holds significant implications for institutional investors, as it could open up new avenues for exposure to the cryptocurrency market within a regulated and familiar investment framework. As the cryptocurrency industry continues to mature and gain regulatory acceptance, the emergence of Ethereum spot ETFs could represent a pivotal moment in expanding investment opportunities and further integrating digital assets into traditional financial markets.

Overall, the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency regulation and investment products presents an intriguing intersection of innovation, regulation, and market dynamics, shaping the future of institutional investment in digital assets. The developments surrounding Ethereum spot ETF approvals will undoubtedly be closely monitored by investors and industry stakeholders alike.

but worries about 28%-40% tax
You're missing the point here. I was talking about income tax, and that goes up to 49.5% here. Or higher on certain brackets, because you'll lose other tax benefits that aren't shown directly.

Quote
a fresh prospective will help you worry less and instead see you are still making profit... else there is no profit to tax.
As for our wealth tax: it doesn't matter if you make profit. That's great if you make huge profits, it's bad if you make losses.

some tips on how to proceed in the future.
Just report the post and explain the situation. That may or may not get the desired result Tongue

what happenes after 100% sync?
Lol. You can finally use Bitcoin Core when that happens. New incoming payments will show up in a few seconds, and your wallet will show the correct balance.
Create a few backups of your wallet.dat before funding it.

I need some tBTC for a project. We can buy for some sats but we need something like 3-4 tBTC.
Why? What can you do with that much that you can't do with 0.01 tBTC?
1095  Economy / Reputation / Re: User who spams: Fedrey on: January 16, 2024, 07:54:03 AM
Way ahead of you, I noticed this spammer on my Active users list and reported him:
3 year bump for this moment:
Image loading...

is it enough to report one post
Yes. I reported one post, and said it looked like a spambot that got stuck, posting the same thing hundreds of times. I also asked not just to delete the post, but ban him.

Modlog shows Mods deleted 2 pages of his crap, and then gave up Tongue

dust attack when you eventually spend those tokens along with your real tokens
Dust attacks don't pay high transaction fees for one output.
These aren't "tokens", we're talking about Bitcoin here.

The second address "bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7" is for my wallet.  

The first address does not appear to be doing anything.

Is this transaction legitimate?
It looks legitimate. Depending on which wallet you use, you can send the coins to yourself again at a higher fee (that's called CPFP, Child Pays For Parent) to get it confirmed. It shouldn't need too much more, just a small bump in fees. Or you can just wait, it may or may not confirm on it's own soon.

You should probably learn a bit about Bitcoin before using it further. If you know the basics, like sending and receiving address, it's less confusing. And you may avoid making mistakes that make you lose your money.
1098  Other / Meta / Re: Stake your Bitcoin address here on: January 15, 2024, 10:31:37 AM
I don't think double entries should be accepted even if the user can sign a message to the initial staked address. It sets a precedence that could be used for account sales and can easily be abused. This is of course not saying that's what Husna QA is doing, but such loophole shouldn't exist at all.
Sometimes there are reasons to stop trusing an old address:
In June, 2016, I accidentally copied the private key for 1foreverDArUNEX2gVD26vautcx3b8zTZ in my Google search bar. That's been bugging me ever since. ~ I've downloaded my data from Google, and it confirms Google still knows the private key. It's not something I worry about that much, but it's a loose end to tie up.
Today is April 18, 2019. I, LoyceV, am "unstaking" address ~ at Bitcointalk.org and staking new address ~.

How can one generally determine whether a person is fulfilling his whitelisting function or not?
Read:
Now the tricky part: apart from including your Bitcointalk username, you'll need to convince me you deserve it. I know this sucks, and I hate jumping through hoops too. But it's the best I can do to help new Bitcointalk users without giving spammers a free pass.

If there are no statistics on rejected users?
If I'd provide those statistics, you'd say you can't verify them. I can give you an estimate: I must have rejected about 1000 requests. About 20% of them didn't even send me their username.



Consider this the last time I'm feeding this troll.

I've been called "Switzerland" for being neutral and subtle. In your case, I'll make an exception. You, sir, are an idiot for opening 2 topics about me instead of posting in my reputation thread Tongue

If you want forum changes, post in Meta. If you want to attack me for whatever reason you made up: knock yourself out Tongue
Why don't you complain about all Staff members that have the ability to whitelist users? Or hey, complain about theymos who blocked spammers.
Quote from: theymos
You may get the impression from complaints on the forum that everyone hits the fee and it's never warranted, but this is selection bias: the fee is more rare, and the vast majority of accounts that hit it should not be whitelisted.

But hey, by all means, keep complaining instead of contributing.
Here's what matters: I've whitelisted 294 users, they earned 11699 Merit in total, and only 6 of them got banned. The system isn't perfect, spammers are the reason we can't have nice things.
