I didn't know the answer to that, so I googled and found the following link that says "it's not possible": Finding IP addresses of all bitcoin miners

I don't think they'll be lifting the ban anytime soon ^{[especially because of their own CBDC]}, hence the large-scale migrations.
^{- I remember reading about limiting the amount each individual could have/use [they can't implement such a thing with BTCitcoin].}

That was fun but this time, it didn't mention anything about Coinbase or BTCitcoin on both the video and the description part ^{[does the Lambo part count?]}.
^{- That just goes to show that Coinbase only sponsored some of the rewards that were given on the first part [regardless of that, it'd be nice to know the exact amount].}

Have you tried its "FastSync" feature? I'm not one of its users, but it says it'll sync within few seconds:

• Why is syncing to the blockchain taking too long or not successful?

---

Based on the above link, the SPV sync should take more than 30 minutes.

Update:
I was surprised as well ^{[I checked everywhere, but couldn't find a single clue why it takes that much]}.

I'm glad it worked somehow

In the past few months, I've read so much conflicting news from in and out of China that I'm no longer sure which one I should trust... Some of them mentioned they're allowed to continue their operations if they'd use renewable energy sources while other sources said, mining operations are banned as a whole!

• Does anybody know a website that shows the percentage ^[roughly] and locations of miners who have migrated to other places ^{[not just the country name]}?

I did my test on the first of September ^{["fees rose" a little bit on that day and despite that still being considered as a low fee, I intentionally used an even lower fee]}.

Yes, I always do

No, that wasn't me... Mine had a different type of error, but no matter what I do, I can't reproduce it.

Perhaps that was the case when they first released it but at the moment, you can generate multiple addresses without having to use the previous ones ^[screenshot].

Update:
Just finished reporting it through the Trezor Suite. I'll update this thread if anything changes

A new company doesn't always equate to being a small one.

Some of the above users have already answered that part, but there are also a few ^{[small Russian exchanges]} that do little to nothing on that front ^{[most of them use similar templates as well]}.

Assuming you're talking about the normal exchanges in that part, then while hackers try to exploit loopholes in a system, on the other end, there are people that work hard to make sure everything is hack-proof ^{[it's like a race]}.

In regards to the first part of the subject field, let me know what do you think after you've read the following two links:

• Quote from: SFR10 on August 30, 2021, 11:12:04 AM
  • CryptoSec - Exchange hacks
  • HedgeWithCrypto - Exchange hacks

A few days back, I was exploring Trezor Suite's other features that I don't normally use ^{[e.g. exchanges and etc...]}; while I was messing around, I thought it's probably a good time to test its RBF feature as well, so intentionally, I sent a low fee transaction and after a few minutes, I proceed to choose its fee type. I clicked "Custom" ^{[instead of normal or high]}, and it gave me the following error ^[screenshot]:

• After that error popped out, I closed Suite > reopened > did everything exactly the same, but this time there was no error!
  ^{- I've tried my best to recreate that error, so I could report it [I know I should've done it in the first place], but had no luck.}

Does anybody know what this error is about?
^{- I've already googled and searched on their "forum", but no one seems to have encountered that error for using the RBF feature [AFAICS].}

I have to respectfully disagree with that part ^{[at least not yet, until all of the other involved parties have been prosecuted]}.

With the pace that things are moving at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes another decade or two ^{[unfortunately]}.

Sa tingin ko hindi pa totally nagsimula ang bull run dahil napaka lapit yung support and resistance levels in the past two days and cguro, it'll be like that for another week.

Based dun sa "calculations ko ^{[I do know na hindi mauulit ang nakaraan]}", malabo pa within this year alone ^{[I could be wrong]}.

Bakit sa iba pang coins or tokens ka pa mag-iinvest? Usually, sinusundan lang naman nila ang BTCitcoin ^{[with the exception of a few]}.

Anyone that's been around for a few years knows those two words contradict each other! Nice try
^{- Let me guess, you're going to come up with an excuse that you're also good at hiding the origin of your funds!}

Care to provide proof for everything that you just said?

And yet you used a line that's quite popular among scammers

Since Strike is a US-based app, it can never offer its services throughout the whole world because of the US imposing sanctions against some of the countries.
- Having said that, perhaps there's light at the end of the tunnel

  On another topic @dkbit98 said that there are more options and wallets mentioned and this Strike solution is there basically while they do testing.
  And they did say "for now" (one can hope, right?);

AFAICR, they've never banned any country ^{[it's usually the other way around]}.

It is indeed strange, especially since various firms hire them to manage their cryptocurrencies!
^{- I do know that type of hack isn't impossible and this might've been a targeted hack because of the nature of their company, but I'm leaning more towards this hack being an inside job.}

BTW, this "link" might be slightly better

@Tybi
Regardless of the current cash shortages and bank closures, BTCitcoin can't replace their own currency ^{[for now]}, but it could somewhat complement it!
<sup>- Even if the internet penetration rate was high [it's quite low], I still highly doubt that the Taliban would've allowed its citizens to have that much power over something that they could hardly control.

He filed the lawsuit in the US ^[Colorado] and based on one of the comments ^{[not sure how reliable it is]}, it appears that the US law should apply instead:

• Quote from: https://archive.fo/Ebc9x#selection-3331.1-3333.19
  The jurisdiction lies within the country of the victim or where the crime is committed.
  So US law applies.

From what I've understood, that's exactly the case here, and looks like there's a big difference between their laws:

• Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations
  United Kingdom
  Main articles: Limitation periods in the UK and Limitation Act 1980
  Unlike other countries, the United Kingdom has no statute of limitations for any criminal offence, except for summary offences (offences tried in the magistrates’ court). In these cases, criminal proceedings must be brought within 6 months.
  
  United States
  In the United States, statutes of limitations apply to both civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions.[2] Statutes of limitations vary significantly among U.S. jurisdictions.
  Quote from: https://statelaws.findlaw.com/colorado-law/colorado-civil-statute-of-limitations-laws.html
  Colorado's time limits for filing a civil action generally range from one to three years, but rent and debt collection actions have a six-year limit.

Rasch ^{[the attorney in question]} was referring to "young men" that are involved in such crimes, as opposed to the other two.

Then why just a civil case? He could've achieved those results a lot faster ^{[most likely]} if this was a criminal case!
^{- From what I'm seeing, he needed to have some sort of control over the person that investigated it, hence why he went with a PI.}

And this is his profile page: sulaiman.h500 ^{[already banned]}

I only read some of its parts, but just to be sure, this could affect ^{[in theory]} other cryptocurrency addresses ^{[apart from Ethereum]} as well, am I right?

While I was scrolling through the PDF file, the following part caught my attention:

• Quote
  Intuitively, it is very important for the malware to substitute the address very quickly, before the user pastes the address to the wallet client application.
  So if someone uses an infected computer, but copy & pastes really fast, then that significantly lowers the chance for that malware to find a suitable address and substitute it!
  ^{- Perhaps, it's not as bad as I initially thought, but regardless of that, we should always double/triple-check everything.}

Only those that are from the US ^{[minus two states]} and El Salvador can use that feature with Strike...
^{- Unfortunately, that equates to less than 340M people at most, but in reality, is more like 75M when you combine them [link]!}

AFAIK, that Twitter account was created by Cyrus and he/she is from Romania ^{[not sure where Cyrus is based at]}; in other words, there's a small chance unless someone else created that account instead.

You forgot to mention how it ended? Did you refund them from your own pocket or something else happened?

Unfortunately, it's not that hard to fake those ^{[depending on the platform, it might be harder in some, but not impossible]} + such accounts are being sold ^{[from time to time]} on this forum ^{[apart from other places]}.

It takes less than a dollar to register a WhatsApp account with a number from Nigeria or another country ^{[for the most part]} and in regards to his accent, with some practice, most of us could "easily" imitate their accent!
^{- FYI: I'm not Nigerian and I'm trying to only lay out some of the possibilities.}

Seems like the perfect excuse to me ^{[I could be wrong]}!

How are you finding these videos? This one doesn't even have a video tag in it

And he's "an investor at Lolli": 12:37

That's crazy! Looks like he might've uploaded this video while being in the circle ^{[or he had someone else do it for him]}.

Same here! I prefer not to, but I really enjoyed seeing the final prize was in BTCitcoin ^{[despite what was in the jar]}.

@Husires
You can find a few more names from the "Lightning Network Stores - Exchanges" and maybe even from "1ML's exchange category ^{[has a lot of inaccurate results due to their tags]}".
^{Note: I'm not vouching for any of those exchanges.}
