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.

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.
1105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 15, 2024, 09:18:29 AM
I cannot imagine paying more than 15% tax on my own hard-earned money. This is the reason people do illegal transactions. 28% tax is too much.
I wish I could only pay 28% tax!
1106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hypothetical ETF disaster hardfork on: January 15, 2024, 09:07:52 AM
start pushing a campaign to engineer a rollback of the blockchain Vitalik style.
Vitalik hyped a centralized shitcoin that abandoned it's one USP ("code is law") the instant it was convenient for the rich creators. You can't compare that to Bitcoin.

Quote
If in the future ETF holders become the 99% and 1% are self-custodians, then it will be on their interest to push this agenda.
This will only be a concern if the ETF also owns 99% (or at least >51%) of the mining hardware. But, by the time they get into mining, they should also understand the importance of decentralization for trust in the Bitcoin network, and avoid this scenario from ever being possible.

What would happen? If in the future ETF holders become the 99% and 1% are self-custodians,
In a scenario where almost nobody owns bitcoin and things have gotten this centralized, we can say with confidence Bitcoin is already dead so who cares what happens!
Even if ETFs hold 99% of all Bitcoins in the future, I expect several competing ETFs to all have a fair share. Just like several mining pools have a large share of the market.

I expect we'll see another community split where new forked coin is created.
We'll get Bitcoin ETF (BTF), and normal real Bitcoin. One will be fully centralized and regulated, and one will be Bitcoin.

I think that the strategy of governments and financial institutes is to not destroy Bitcoin but to take it over.
Which governments and financial institutions? Wink US? China? EU? BRICS? Bank of Japan? JP Morgan? HSBC? They'll all have their own interests, which will lead to decentralization again.

I don't know what happened but the progress per hour decreased.
Having 0.00% progress per hour isn't promising. Have you checked the Network Traffic and Peers tabs? Does the number of blocks remaining still decrease or does it go up? Could your ISP be throttling your Bitcoin Core? If so: have you tried a VPN? My favourite accepts any amount, and you can use it for just a few hours if you pay them 2 cents in Monero.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: FLYP tumbler Pending issues HELP needed! Reward 200$ on: January 15, 2024, 08:21:13 AM
Okay, so one of his option is to wait for the average fee rate to drop below 44sat/vB.
Judging by the way fees are dropping, that may actually happen today.

Quote
Or if he want it to confirm faster, paying for a legit accelerator services will be expensive for 1000vB+200vB (approx) transactions.
He will have to pay about $500 to those pools.
I checked: ViaBTC charges $270.
1109  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: FLYP tumbler Pending issues HELP needed! Reward 200$ on: January 15, 2024, 06:45:04 AM
mempool.space's accelerator needs an account and it need to be activated by them,
mine which was registered about a month ago is still in their "waiting list".
So either they don't have the connections yet, or they don't want to earn money? That's weird for such a service.

Quote
You can just create a CPFP transaction to the unconfirmed transaction that's sent to wallet B.
I discussed this with OP, but he doesn't feel confident handling private keys and manually doing this in another wallet. Wallet B can't do anything.
1110  Economy / Reputation / Re: What privileges does LoyceV have? on: January 14, 2024, 07:02:01 PM
Why do you force
There. Your assumption makes no sense. If you don't like it, don't email me.

Quote
Any power turns any person into a corrupt monster.
And here I am, telling idiots not to send me their real data:
You don't need to send me your IP-address or real name. I can't believe I have to add this: DO NOT send me a picture of a passport!
And yes, all this was added because it had happened!

Still... do you have a pet snail, though?
Last summer, one crawled inside. It made my daughter scream, so I put it outside again. No pet snails, sorry.

Here LoyceV proudly flaunts his statistics of whitelisted users
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350260.0
See:
Full transparency
I'll post all whitelisted users in this topic. They can expect scrutiny. If you're a real user and don't deserve the "evil" label, this scrutiny can lead to earning some Merit. If you turn out to be a spammer, I'll report you myself.
Another reason for full transparency is to assess my judgement on who to whitelist.

A new question arises. Where are the statistics of users whom he did not add to the white list? WHERE?
They're in my mailbox trash:
From now on, I'll stop responding to rejected emails. If you haven't received an email telling you you're whitelisted after a few days, that means I've rejected you. I've sent the same email hundreds of times by now, and want to save some time.
Like I said: read more, post less.

It turns out they can’t even complain about him or file an appeal for unfair non-addition to the white list
That is absolutely correct. Just like they can't bribe me (and yes, I've been offered payment, even in altcoins). Deal with it.
Appeal to theymos, the creator of the Evil points. Good luck!

Anyone who applied to be added for whitelisting and was ignored by LoyceV - complain here
Lol. They can't. Maybe you can post an email address for them Tongue
1111  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Most straightforward way to swap XMR for Bitcoin on: January 14, 2024, 06:38:26 PM
You should move (bottom-left) this topic to Exchanges.

One of the exchangers that can make this exchange is in my signature below.
1112  Economy / Reputation / Re: What privileges does LoyceV have? on: January 14, 2024, 05:58:47 PM
we can assume that he collects the email addresses of users who contacted him for whitelisting
And anyone who contacts me, can keep my email address! If only I could create more than one email address....

Quote
Because Loycev does not provide any alternative for contacting about whitelisting other than contacting by email.
Lol. You're grasping at straws here. What do you want me to do, provide my snail mail address?

& blackmailing

This means he can dictate and impose his own conditions.
Great! My addy is in my profile. You know what to do Tongue

Why don't you bump my reputation thread, so you can keep all allegations at the right place?

I'm not sure what you're after, but I know for sure you have nothing on me. So good luck trying to find dirt Tongue If you read a bit more and post a bit less, you may learn a thing or 2. Many of your questions can be answered by reading instead of writing.
1113  Economy / Reputation / Re: What privileges does LoyceV have? on: January 14, 2024, 05:09:54 PM
I wouldn't exactly call the capability to whitelist IP addresses from evil fee as a privilege.
It's volunteer work.

Just wondering if I can rebroadcast it having only the hash, without having ever seen it.
You can't. But there's no point anyway, most nodes will reject it.
1115  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum: how to use Full RBF? on: January 14, 2024, 03:42:58 PM
Did you try it and not working? Because you sent the post merits.
Thanks, I couldn't find it anymore. This should work! I've now bookmarked it.
1116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 14, 2024, 03:30:24 PM
claim you mined them this year at a hardware/electric cost of $50k a coin (western electric is higher then eastern europe/asia/slavic countries)

thus no gains.
Here, that would mean paying income tax Wink
1117  Economy / Services / Re: Fillippone Forum space for Rent [Avatar+ Signature+ Personal Text + Website] on: January 14, 2024, 03:28:38 PM
Even if the transaction had very low fees, I should be able to see it as unconfirmed in explorers (and Walltes), and, I think this should be the case even with very low fees.
The purging rate is not consensus, and shouldn't prevent tx from being seen, or broadcasted.
That's kinda what purging means Wink Mempool.space now keeps 1.81 GB in mempool, the default is 300 MB. So most nodes will ignore the transaction until fees drop (as long as it keeps getting broadcasted).
1118  Bitcoin / Electrum / Electrum: how to use Full RBF? on: January 14, 2024, 03:24:57 PM
Let's say you have a transaction without RBF enabled, and want to create a new transaction to replace it (to try your luck broadcasting it to a Full RBF node). How can you do this in Electrum?
TL;DR: how to remove the unconfirmed transaction, and create a new one.
1119  Economy / Services / Re: Fillippone Forum space for Rent [Avatar+ Signature+ Personal Text + Website] on: January 14, 2024, 03:17:33 PM
the fee seems inexplicably smaller than usual.
The current Purging rate is 23.6 sat/vbyte.

The government may ask how I got my hands on 100k worth of jewelry when I sell it for cash. I can say I found it on the street, or it was given to me by a rich person.
Here, that would either mean having to report the found jewelry, or paying tax on the gift. There are no easy "loopholes", everything is regulated.
