Quite a few of my friends and family used to do the same when I started investing in crypto when it was ~$200, the ones that have actually tracked it since then (or have a reddit account) no longer feel the same and normally try to change the subject when it gets  brought up...

Whether we'll do 100x or even 10x in the next decade again will be something we'll have to wait on and watch but I don't think those same people calling it a scam, bubble or ponzi will be quite so loud if it does. As always, diversification can't hurt and it might be a good idea to invest in other things (stocks seem a useful way to learn self control because they can also drop when you initially invest in them like bitcoin might).

There'll probably be a lot more votes for zero too because of this to hide what people know. I answered 2 and now I keep remembering people's names (I've found another two since - at least).

I saw a meme a few weeks ago from Americans saying it's very hard to find a British person's name because they forget to bring it up (even in long interactions - and don't mention it when they're introduced), so maybe I'd know more.

If you can't decide which coin to buy, bitcoin will come with the least regrets imo. Enough newbies have been scammed by coins that claim to be coins and enough older members have probabky invested in altcoins too and made a loss at some point - bitcoin remains the safest.

It's hard to tell when we're bullish or bearish unless we've been there a while. One of the best ways to notice is by doing things such as dollar cost averaging or dip buying (where you buy the calm atter the storm - the relaxation point of the markets as most upwards trends are met with some downwards ones too).

Investing requires quite a lot of patience though so don't invest more than you can afford to lose (especially in your first few attempts) they might just make you want to cut your losses if you're in the red at any point.

This is generally how the market works.

If everyone stopped selling their bitcoins they'd go up in value because speculators would expect those people wanting a higher price.

But there's usually always someone wanting to sell and someone wanting to buy so even if neither liked the current prices, they'd place asks and bids and those orders would converge (meet) at a new price that the asset would become.

Pin inputs are a lot less tedious when using the number pad over mouse clicks if you have one (you still need the device patterns for reference).

I don't think I've had this problem before myself but I also don't think I'd notice if I did. If you're worried about using your normal browser for accessing the trezor, you could get one just for that (chrome and Firefox both work with trezor and I assume Opera and chromium do too).

The forum's search engine is great if you know quite well what you're looking for. If you're searching the name of a person or a company then it works really well (especially if you want to do something like see the mentions of an exchange over the last week).

If you don't know exactly what you're looking for or can't just search a word, use multiple search engines to get the best result (this should be done with most research anyway if you have a big search and want to make sure your results are accurate or what everyone else will see).

I think this property makes multisig more secure and I don't know exactly what your idea would be used for.

There's a way to get an extra key by using it to encrypt a private key and publishing the encrypted text publicly so you know you'll be able to find it (you could just store it with the other key though).

Relinquishing control from a key is something that can't be done in multisig without spending the funds but it probably costs more to relinquish a key in ethereum than it does to spend the funds anyway so that might be inefficient.

For people to trust a toekn like that i think they'd also have to pay some sort od dividend too. Either by making people stake (less preferable because it'll cause volatility) or by wrapping.assets in the tokens to either be claimed or not (or just crediting addresses that have held the token for a certain amount of time). I think if they don't have this we'll see another flop.

Hopefully bitfinex also knows how to handle the logistics of using multiple chains too as I think most would expect erc20 and trc20 versions at least (fee and use wise).

There's never really much of a mention into the teams working on these projects and it might boost people's confidence if they did know that and stop these plans from failing (like the last one did). I think there's a big market a government could demand over similar things to what el Salvador has done, I don't know whether they're just doing it too early though or people are just not interested unless the offer is attractive enough.

Would it not let you progress with one or did you go a bit more investigative after the second confirmation? If you have noscript enabled then I could see that as being a reason it wouldn't progress to step 2 automatically and would wait for you to press it or potentially refresh.

The site also says only 1 confirmation is needed still on the deposit screen.

That seems pretty new with keep key, I've been using mycelium for a while and haven't seen it until now (but I don't know when I last checked).

I'm not sure about ledger but trezor support was quite bad on mobile until recently (mycelium worked OK but it felt like it had problems the PC didn't - if you spent a small amount of funds from.a large input it'd ask you to confirm the change on the device instead but it doesn't anymore iirc).

Trezor can work on a phone via micro USB -> USB-C with trezor suite (web) and mycelium. I'm not sure how good the eth support is but everything else looks like it works (I think I've only used bitcoin with it though).

I use Opera and do the same and I find it easier than using my browser on my PC too now as all the text is in one place and it'll get rid of things the PC won't when you zoom in (like the user information bits). It even puts as much as possible on the screen while you're in the editor which is very helpful (especially when using bbcode).

I usually zoom so a post text fits on the screen and it does well with that, sometimes if you do to many things at once you end up with rendering problems though and have to scroll a bit to fix them.


I think I've become too used to autocorrect now so my issues will be the opposite if I ever turn back. I write lengthier posts on PC or more advanced ones (eg with code) but most things are doable on a phone once you're used to it.

I doubt there has been one or will be one since asics and nodes are separate entities.

A MAHF/SF would likely only occur if a critical vulnerability was found that needed to be patched quickly imo as it has a much higher risk of a chain split than the current model of what seems to be in its simplest form:
1. Proposal generated
2. Code changes made to show what the proposal will do
3. Miners asked to signal their cooperation in the upgrade
4. UAF only goes ahead once a majority of the hashing power is dedicated to the change (only needs to be 50% but 90-95% is normally reached pretty fast iirc after the first few signal to accept it).

Because it's being discussed, segwit was a soft fork and was activated as one at the time because there was a consensus of miners.
The chain split to bcash was probably both a miner activated hard fork of bitcoin and a user activated one as bitcoin became incompatible with it immediately (at least because they had replay protection) but needed both miners (verifiers) and nodes (propagators) to make the new chain.

@OP you left out an important detail imo, where are you citizen of? If you're a citizen of Ukraine, you might be best finding a solicitor that's fled as a refugee (or for business) to a close neighbour of Ukraine. France and other EU countries might take it but there's less of a chance imo than someone who's able to take the case in or near Ukraine.

2. They might or might not do kyc, it all depends on the casino they sent the funds to but it's not too hard to find out (check the ToS or privacy policy).

3. Someone probably has power over the casino to do something - whether they do depends on a lot of things and they're probably more likely to not.

4&5 depends on how much help you can get and how well Investigations by governments are done for you (if they can be).

How much do you trust whoever told you the 75% of funds were in a casino though too? Have they sent you that evidence? Do they want payment before they do (this is a fairly common scam technique)?

It'd make more sense to deactivate a malfunctioning machine rather than keeping it active. Also I doubt they've been forced to repay anything gambled on it for however long it malfunctioned.

If they didn't know it was malfunctioning the actual amount she won was very low compared to what the casino could likely afford so I think they should've been forced to pay a higher amount (at least around $30-300k or the maximum that could be won on that machine depending on the size of the venue).

Yes.

The difference is your voucher won't expire but your session can (after 7 days, if not extended).

Any withdraw from chipmixer means your funds would've been mixed.

I don't know why you've done this though. How long was your session open for? Vouchers survive longer than sessions do but it sounds like your session still holds your funds and you changed how you wanted to withdraw them (either by sweeping or exporting private keys).

In future, you should make a new session if you want to redeem a voucher or just restore your old session to spend funds (if you're within the week).

We're still 500 days away from the next halving though I don't think people are going to be too optimistic about it yet. Whether we fall more or don't remains to be seen though, since most of the stuff to do with ftx and other insolvances didn't cause too much of a problem with the price, I don't think we're guaranteed to go much lower but there's still a chance a stock market crash causes everything else to panic with it (I think it's fairly likely we see one of those this year).

Bitcoin is programmable in that it has a fixed number of scripts that can be used for sending transactions.

It also has a part of the transaction left unassigned which could be filled with an identifier (such as for storing tokens) and there are more advanced things normal bitcoin scripts can do when put together (such as how the lightning network works).

If "the gas limits everything" switch chains or get the developer to. Harmony seemed cheap last time i used it (and it's what eth seems to want to become). Solana and eos are also cheap - don't trust anything but bitcoin for long term storage though.

Are you trying to go to the government to do this? Why not go to companies directly (potentially after developing proposals of how the technology could help them or proving you have an understanding of how it could).

There are so many ways blockchain can be developed (both positive and negativep) that I don't know exactly what you're initially focussed on.
