I'm a bit confused about what you trying to say but Bitcoin will never become centralized because Satoshi made Bitcoin for decentralization.
If the fees are rising it's just temporary there is something going on that is why you see transaction fees rise just like today because the price touched above $50k that is why people right now panic to move their BTC to the exchange before it drops and make a profit.

What do you mean bull run is close? I think you mean that this is the end of the bull market after the price touched $50k we see a new high price this year but this is not yet the new ATH and it is not the end of the bull market because block halving is not done yet.
You are too excited for bear market be calm this is not the end of bull market we see price jump but that doesn't mean sooner or later bear market comes.

Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Buying accounts directly or using crypto prepaid VCC for card-only accounts?

The problem with Binance or Coinbase as their KYC requirements. I don't believe in having to sacrifice identity when not having to, and you simply don't have to for a VCC.
I'll look into zyptopay.com.
Someone is promoting it here just last month https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5483254.0You can judge by yourself that there is self-promotion under that thread that makes zyptopay suspicious. For now, I can't trust them but you can try just make sure to spend only what you can afford to lose. How about a Visa prepaid card it might be also work on a subscription monthly basis I just found a thread and I think they are still active here on the forum you can check their thread from this link below no KYC required so it should be the right offer you looking for. The only problem is I don't know if you can refill the card but try to ask the stealth and maybe they can able to refill the card. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5464088.0

I believe the wallet I used was called the Mycelium Wallet, that was the first time I tried using the wallet and I can't tell the reason the transaction as wasn't successful
Mycelium should work to send and receive BTC to or from segwit(bech32) BTC address you might be using the old version of Mycelium wallet which is why it wasn't successful when you are trying to send BTC and Mycelium wallet is very problematic it always disconnected from mycelium server or sometimes stuck on syncing so maybe on that time when you are sending BTC from Mycelium wallet the server is offline that is why the transaction fail to broadcast. I suggest switch to a better wallet like Electrum because Mycelium had this issue since before.

Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Browser app with a crypto wallet.

I checked the browser wallets and I tried to figure out some appurtenant features about the browser wallets but I noticed that Bitcoin wasn't among, so this makes me ask WHY? Although, you can check the browser wallet to see if Bitcoin is hidden somewhere that I couldn't find. Thanks.
I never heard that there is a Browser Bitcoin wallet if there is one then it is not safe to use and most browser wallet extension that I can find on Google are mostly custodial wallet like other said "not your keys, not your coins". And mostly like other said here the browser wallet on brave browser is for web3 usually defi and NFT games that needs to connect to a browser wallets. Maybe on Metamask wallet you can see wrapped Bitcoin there but that's not a real Bitcoin it is a Ethereum based token supported by metamask wallet.

Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Help identifying this miner
|
on: February 11, 2024, 05:43:08 AM

I have to disagree with the two gentlemen above, this miner is without a shadow of a doubt GAW miner fury, it has scrypt ASICs on it, it mines LTC/DOGE at a very low speed, so ya pretty useless, also,also, it's missing a cooling fan on the top, you could probably spot the 4 holes for the screws that attach to the heatsink.
And true for not having a control board, you can connect it on a Raspberry Pi and dig for the right software to control the chips, but again, not worth it unless you are doing it for fun, oh and please, don't forget to install the fan if you plan on running this.
I did some research and yeah it is a Gaw Miner Fury there is another miner that I found with a similar appearance it is called Zeusminer Blizzard they both use Scrypt algo that can mine Dogecoin and DGB. It seems this is an old Scrypt miner that only hashing around 1.3mh/s that's not worth running because you can only earn 0.7 dogecoin or around 1dgb a month. Since the power voltage of this unit is 12v I think running it with solar is the best option power is free and you can mine solo as a lottery for Dogecoin or DGB.

No, it won't compromised it operates the same as other hardware wallets the only use of this is to sign transactions and to power coldcard the seed/private keys are stored in specialized chips it is separate only store secret keys.
If you don't feel safe after you connect it to the laptop there is no problem if you want to rebuild your wallet. You can also disable data connection by going to settings and disable USB data so that the next time you plug it into the laptop it only needs power and no data connection.

Now I see all failed and errors pointed to voltage and yes possible this is a PSU issue.
Is the unit plugged directly into the wall outlet or did you use an extension? If you are using an extension it might be the cause of your problem because the extension outlet you have can't provide enough power. So try to plug the unit directly into the wall outlet. Also, check the power cords if it's plugged properly or better replug them, and then test them again.
If not, for a temporary solution would you mind to try if you can run the unit at low power mode you can usually find it under pool configuration. If it works without this voltage error keep running it at LPM but if the issue still persists you don't have other choice but to replace the PSU.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Which one is the best offline Paper wallet ?
|
on: February 10, 2024, 01:58:27 PM

Electrum does not generate offline custom build cold address. It generate only Legacy but like Paper wallet.
I don't understand what you said above you want to generate a public key from an offline Bitcoin Public Key Generator. I think you don't exactly understand how BTC address and private key works? About Electrum what step did you do why it only generate a legacy wallet? If you are using the latest version of Electrum it should generate a segwit address and then you can later able to export the private key by going to menu> wallet> private keys> export to backup all segwit addresses in csv or json format you can print it if you want just make sure all these processes are offline.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin-Qt maxconnections ignored
|
on: February 09, 2024, 08:37:32 PM

yes i've shutdown and restarted but it is still ignoring the max setting.
and i just dont want over a 100 people accessing my network.
I don't know how this thing works but if you don't want more people to connect to your node then try to play the value of maxconnection I suggest 12 or lower and let's see for the changes on the inbound peers. Also, play with the maxuploadtarget= according to the link I posted above. Or try this tool https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-core-config-generator/ you can copy their predefined config and paste it into your bitcoin.conf file you can choose between low bandwidth or privacy under a predefined config let see any changes in your inbound and outbound peers.

Just adding this you can also edit the bitcoin.conf file or add a bitcoin.conf file into Bitcoin folder if you are using Windows you can usually find it under this directory path below C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin Edit the bitcoin.conf file and put this inside prune=550 it is MB size you can edit it to higher depending on how much available space is in your HDD/SSD then save restart the bitcoin core and it should sync and download the latest blockchain within this limit.

Well I'll be trying tonight, so I'll keep you updated on how I progress 👍
It should work just fine but don't forget to copy the chainstate folder if you don't want to be stuck in the loading process or else you might end up needing to run Bitcoin Core with -reindex or -reindex-chainstate.

I don't know what exactly happens before you get this logs if you could post the whole kernel logs here we can maybe get some idea of what happened to the miner from the whole logs.
For now, what I could suggest is to flash the unit first with the latest firmware version and maybe it's just a bug that needs to be reflash and it can be fixed by upgrading it to the latest version.
If you can't post the whole logs here you can use pastebin.com and paste the URL here.
