You don't mean all transactions regardless of their value, do you? I can agree that it doesn't make sense to pay (currently) $4+ to send any amount up to $50, but is $4 for a quick confirmation too much if you're sending several hundred or even thousands of $? That's still $4 more than I'd pay if I use my bank account, and still more than the €1 exchanges charge for SEPA transfers. Besides, there's always a way to pay less even for an on-chain transaction if you don't need instant confirmation, and I've kept all my fees around $1 this whole mempool frenzy - of course all thanks to that one accelerator that still works. I know the tricks, but that's not how I'd like Bitcoin to work. ViaBTC has a new captcha, now they're not instantly out of accelerations anymore. |

Looooool! Gazeta has the memory of an elephant  Speaking of which, I am working on a very nice surprise for our 5 years anniversary  I can already tell you: I don't want an elephant! I asked the kids, they don't want one either  |

Why does this wallet continue to add and use Monero even though they know there is a synchronization problem for more than a year? If it's abandoned, there may be nobody left to remove Monero. |

So let's say this is not Ratimov posting, that doesn't imply he has sold his account, he could have simply give it to a fried or a relative Would that make a difference for the Trust system when it comes to "account changed hands"? That brings up a thought experiment: if I give my account to someone I personally know and trust, does my account deserve to be tagged? In a way, that means someone walks around with + 30 only because I gave it to him, and I don't think that's supposed to happen. So even giving away the account can deserve negative feedback. OR! even better, he acts like he is not the same guy!  Maybe it's plausible deniability for tax purposes? |

I don't know if you know this, but high profile accounts with positive feedback are very valuable and can be sold/purchased for a lot of money. Positive feedback has no value if the account gets tagged. I'd expect less high profile accounts to be able to stay under the radar longer. Just like claiming to be John Arnold will alert less people than claiming to be Bill Gates. |

how do you know or where can i see if a channel is opened/closed? Settings > Channel list. when i turn this option off, i get a message telling me that the next transaction will fail in any case If you don't have a channel yet, you'll need to open at least one. |
|

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true. Ratimov burned all bridges behind him, and instead of confronting problems, he just kept digging a deeper hole. Maybe it's an ego thing, I don't get it.
If this is true, it leaves only one question: why would anyone buy such a high-profile account? Maybe that's the reason he stopped posting in English too, but if the account changed owner, that can't go unnoticed.
Imagine someone else using my account: how long would it last before it's exposed? I hope it doesn't even take a day!

so do i understand correctly that these high fees are only charged for the first transaction that my Phoenix wallet receives and from the second transaction onwards everything is in cents (if my wallet is filled with satoshis)? As far as I know: yes. See the fees page. But, if you don't have enough receiving liquidity, Phoenix will have to open a new channel again. Android on my old phone is too old to update Phoenix Wallet, and I don't want to install more wallets on my regular phone. That's why I disabled "Automatic on-the-fly channel creation to avoid high fees" (from Settings). i tried the same thing with another wallet (wos) and it doesn't matter whether it's the first or fifth transaction - the fees were in the cent range... Wallet of Satoshi is custodial, so it doesn't open (on-chain) channels for you. Phoenix Wallet is non-custodial after opening the channel. That's the difference. In my experience, custodial LN wallets work easier. Just don't trust them with with large amounts. |

i installed the Phoenix wallet on my android mobile phone yesterday and wanted to receive the very first transaction. but this is canceled due to the fees i set of max. 5000 sats - the message says that the fee is almost 20k sats and i could change that in my settings See: Receiving on-chain (swap-in or Lightning with insufficient liquidity): mining fees (+ 1000 sat one time) Considering how high on-chain fees are at the moment, 20k sats seems correct. otherwise i can immediately claim an on-chain transaction That's true. But on-chain you'll pay that for each transaction, and with LN only for the first transaction (as long as you have enough liquidity). Or just use a custodial LN wallet (for small amounts), so you don't have any on-chain costs.
I still have a few open channels in Phoenix Wallet (created years ago, when on-chain fees were much lower). Those channels are almost empty, but have receiving liquidity. There's no point for Phoenix Wallet to close them, as it would only cost them transaction fees. I still have 2 seed phrases from different installations, and I think I have a total of 4 open channels. Android on my old phone is too old to update Phoenix Wallet, and I don't want to install more wallets on my regular phone. |

Please be aware that inside the foxhole the year has 97 weeks. At least. That can't be, as there's evidence suggesting 4 years have 246 weeks. And counting, of course I'm more curious when "5 years" will be hit: will that be after 260 weeks, or after 261 weeks? Including all leap years since Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club started, it would be a perfect 5 year milestone at exactly 261 weeks! As Gazeta has just shown, knowing the whole thread post by post is a necessary but not sufficient condition ever to be considered for admission to the Club. It always scares me a bit how GazetaBitcoin seems to remember everything that was every posted here. |

Two years ago (2022), I won by picking stable coins before the bear market hit. Now, with the Bitcoin halving next year, I'm not going to do that. This year (2023), I started with this: And now I'm here (ignore the small change in amount of coins): Not very impressive, which is why I'm not into trading altcoins The last one went as expected: I've added TryHards just because it sounds cool. And because it's seriously far down the list. Obviously I don't have very high hopes for this one, so don't take this as investment advice.
1. For 2024, I have high hopes for privacy coin Monero now that theymos is going to ban advertising mixers, so that's my first and largest pick. 2. I still have hopes for this: After thinking about it for a while, I added Doge, because the damn thing bubbles up once in a while. Who knows, it might do it again. So I'll add Doge again. 3. My third pick is going to be Stellar Lumens, because it also seems to bubble up every 4-ish years. Although extrapolating the graph, that's going to happen in 2025. In that case I'll just add it again the year after. 4. That leaves the shittiest of all shitcoins, down even further than the Top 100. I'll just pick #101, which I've never seen before. To summarize, this is my 2024 portfolio: Good luck to all! |

I've been nominated for this category before. I'm just wondering, if I change my name to LoyceV.girl, would I win? Little did I know my nickname was female when I pulled it out of a random generator in 2015.... You never know what is going to happen. Ask theymos to make the change, and we will see next year I changed my mind: it should be Ninja.girl for maximum category compatibility  There is no one named Ratimov. Doesn't that make him the perfect antihero candidate? |

I used Unstoppeable wallet for some time, but it lacks too many functions (like coin control) and doesnt support many coins. I don't mind the lack of coins (which I don't use anyway), but coin control is indeed needed. I'm using Tor and "From Blockchain" instead of API for maximum privacy, only to get my inputs connected on-chain. Yesterday I had to receive some payment using XMR, and then I discovered Coinomi is supporting it (it generates addresses) but it doesnt sync and doesnt send coins. Terrible! I don't get it: this is the reason I posted What happened to Coinomi?, which you Merited and linked from your OP. Why did you still use Coinomi for Monero? Terrible experience, stay away from coinomi. (Great software, but abandoned) Last update: March 19, 2022. It's unfortunate. I now use Feather for Monero (dust), a hot wallet on my desktop. |

BTC could free the blockchain by no sends smaller than 0.0005 btc that is 21 or 22 usd. That would mean increasing the dust limit 100-fold. There are currently 22747542 Bitcoin addresses with less 0.0005 BTC (using yesterday's data). That's 44% of all funded Bitcoin addresses, holding 2593.58118332 BTC in total. I don't think the protocol needs to exclude those small Bitcoin owners. At current fees, their inputs are too small to send anyway. I'm more for education, like my "consolidate small inputs" topic. People should try to avoid receiving small amounts of Bitcoin. Whenever possible, use small change for something else. Be smart on manually using coin control. Wait for regular payments to reach a larger amounts (mining pools could educate their small miners on this). Or indeed, just use low-fee altcoins for some payments. But that's not the scaling solution Bitcoin needs. |

One benefit of allowing advertising of these campaigns (that will become clearer from the ban forward) is the force of good practice on services by holding reputation as collateral in exchange for advertising. I've seen many scamming mixers over the years. Until recently, I didn't realize some mixers may just be created by non-scamming bad guys in need of good people looking for privacy. I can't be certain which mixers fall in which category, but by now I think it's likely both exist. I also considered Bitcointalk the place to be to find honest mixers. It's weird though: that could mean a honest mixer is ran by what some governments consider to be criminals. To top it off we have a staff member who acknowledges the following: Instead of offtopic and trolling, better do some forum research if you're so interested. But who does not take action on this, such as deleting the ridiculous off topic garbage replies from Shenanigan on the subject. "Staff" members can't delete posts. Xal0lex is a Moderator on his own boards, not on Meta. BenCodie, please change the thread title to something like: "Discussion, LoyceV powers on the forum." The off-topic troll is welcome to spam LoyceV's reputation thread. I've deleted my post responding to the troll. I should have known better. The title of this topic is a little misleading as I initially thought that it had something to do about the mixer ban. I thought the same. That probably didn't help in staying on-topic. I'll be making a new self-moderated topic if a moderator doesn't remove the obvious spam You can't do that in Meta. |

Two hundred and forty-sixth week paid. Thanks again for your flawless timing! Putting the kids to bed messed up my timing, and they're not even in yet. Wish me luck!Activity: 4200 Now that looks nice |

So today, I am in favor of using the WoS. It's smooth and works well. But yeah... custodial solution... For small amounts, I don't mind. Compared to the amount of money people keep in exchanges, it's tiny. I haven't tried it, but you can probably fund it from an exchange directly. Imagine topping up your Bitcoin LN wallet with a 5 sat transaction fee |
|
|
|
Some say USE Lightening Network if you have tech skills and are prepped you can try it. If you don't have tech skills, use any of the easy LN mobile wallets. Phoenix Wallet for instance (although on-chain channel opening is costly at the moment), or one of the custodial wallets (but only risk small amounts in them) so you don't need anything on-chain. For instance: Wallet of Satoshi. Then use your favourite low-fee altcoin to get LN-funds from an instant exchanger. |

It shows 200 sats as a possible working fee. That's how you end up paying $90 for a small transaction (923 bytes) with 6 legacy inputs. I hate to say it, but Bitcoin is useless for sending transactions at the moment. |
