Translated Topic in Pidgin Language: De call for Julian Assange || De WikiLeaks Manifesto - Make all of us read am
Original Topic: The call for Julian Assange || The WikiLeaks Manifesto - We all should read it
Author: GazetaBitcoin

Maybe plenti pipo don hear about de name Julian Assange, but na only few persons know who him be, wetin him do and wetin him dey do now. From dis, na only few person who know why him be emblematic figure for de crypto space.

Dis topic na call for help, na him make I post am for the beginners and Help board. Na call to help Julian!

I bin don plan to write about dis topic for sometime, but for some reasons (de most important be say I no get time) delay am. However, another recent discrediting of de press (in one way or de other) come make me to write dis thread. Though de reason behind dis dey less important. Wetin dey important be say Julian need help!


De last sentence for dis topic na cautionary tale: "Make all of us continue Cypherpunks' work and dey fight for freedom!"

De Cypherpunks group bin emerge initially for 1992 from Eric Hughes, de author of "The Cypherpunk Manifesto", John Gilmore and Timothy May, de author of "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto". From one former meeting for Gilmore office, dem come create one mailing list, under de name of Cypherpunks mailing list.

During dat time, odas join Cypherpunks fight against de state as dem dey surveil de citizen. De number persons bin reach more dan 1000 contributors.

Julian Assange bin dey part of de group between 1995 and 2002. Him get brilliant mind wey odas bin observe. If May, Hughes or Gilmore bin focus more on "algorithms for people", for digital cash and for public access to cryptography (for de era wey NSA bin dey fight wit all their power against dis), Assange bin get different principle: “Freedom of information na respected liberal value."

The WikiLeaks Manifesto, one document less known, unfortunately, e contain oda words of wisdom from Julian: "Only reveal injustice person fit answer; for one man to do anything thing intelligent him suppose know wetin dey go on."

As Gutenberg printing press bin surface for 1448, wey come lead to Printing Revolution, elite power over classified documents come dey reduce constantly. Dis na one of de first form of information decentralization. Julian Assange take am to a whole new level.

And dis one happen after de launch of Wikileaks, in 2006.

"I grow wit de understanding say de world wey I live na one wey people dey enjoy some kind of freedom to communicate wit each oda in privacy, without pipo to dey monitor am, without pipo to dey look into or analyze am or judge by some shadowy figures or systems any time they talk anything wey dey travel through public line." - Edward Snowden

I dey reason de same way as Snowden, and even more: I dey try to help am by recommending where him go fit settle and where him no fit settle for him new life after him betray de govern; Assange published thousands of classified information from all parts of de world.

Him connection to Bitcoin?, Some fit as.

After US govern bin come initiate a financial blockage of WikiLeaks accounts, Julian come realized de potential of Bitcoin and come dey reason to accept de new cryptocurrency as a way for donation. De idea bin put BitcoinTalk on flames dat time:

"Bring am come", as RHorning bin emphasize.

However, Asange continue, ""Satoshi Nakamoto", de pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, bin respond: "No, no "bring am come." De project need to grow gradually so dat de software fit get strength along de way. I don appeal to WikiLeaks make dem no try to use bitcoin. Bitcoin na small beta community wey dey very young. You no go get any beta thing oda dan pocket change, and de heat wey you go bring go likely destroy us at dis stage."[...] Six days later, for 12 December 2012, Satoshi come famously disappear from de Bitcoin community, after him post dis message: "e for dey nice to get dis kind attention for any oda context, WikiLeaks don kick de hornet net and de swarms dey come towards our direction.""

As a deep sign of respect for Satoshi and for him work, as Asange bin talk (for de previous mentioned link), "WikiLeaks bin read and agree with Satoshi analysis, and come decide to stop de launch of bitcoin donation channel until de currency don dey more established. WikiLeaks later launch their bitcoin donation address after de currency major boom, for 14 June 2011."

A sign for respect wey na rara avis nowadays.

Julian rely on Bitcoin certainly no only help WikiLeaks: e also help make Bitcoin to dey popular; e raise awareness about Satoshi creation; e bring more and more people to de path wey Satoshi open.

Wetin happen next dey well known dan de above mentioned history. US government start to dey hunt Assange for 2011, and in response, Julian come manage to help himself by seeking asylum for de Ecuadorial embassy for London. Dem come grant him request for 2012. However, him stay for de embassy bin no dey easy - among many oda things, him bin no step outside de embassy until 2019(!), him bin dey live almost like an inmate. Between fabricated accusation of sexual harassment, wey dem drop after years by the Swedish govern, and him continue work for WikiLeaks, Asange also try to keep his moral and do him best to avoid extradition to the US, as him dey aware say if dem carry go there na death penalty or at least 175 years behind bars.

Unfortunately, for 2019 Ecuador come end him asylum, for reasons wey dey more or less ridiculous, but e dey almost clear say dem force de decision somehow by oda secret agencies or by oda governs.

As I dey write dis thread, Julian trial for extradition don start. During de trial, him dey stay for prison.

As I bin talk recently, for one of my previous topic,

De fight for freedom of speech, for privacy and to dey render governs irrelevant start long long time ago. Now e dey our hands.

E dey our hands also to help Julian. And to help am mean to help freedom of information!

I no go talk how to offer dis help, I dey sure say everybody know, or atleast, get small intuition about am.

Time dey for debate and time dey for action. Now debating time don pass.


Issues to note:

I also recommend make una read de following:
- Nils Melzer's The Trial of Julian Assange: A Story of Persecution - The shocking story of de legal persecution of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and The dangerous implications for The whistleblowers of The future
- Robert Manne's piece of art The Cypherpunk Revolutionary Julian Assange
- The Most Dangerous Man In The World: The Inside Story On Julian Assange And WikiLeaks, written by Andrew Fowler
- Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet, by Julian Assange. De book na discussion between Julian, Jacob Appelbaum (Tor developer) and Jérémie Zimmermann (co-founder of La Quadrature du Net)
- Underground, by Suelette Dreyfus & Julian Assange. Na fascinating book about de rise of Australian hackers and phreakers from 1980s, including de early activity of Julian Assange, which by dat time dem bin know am as Mendax.
- When Google Met WikiLeaks, by Julian Assange
- The Unauthorised Autobiography, by Julian Assange.

Besides de following movies dey parts of a most watch category:

Ithaka - na documentary wey show Julian struggle to avoid extradition to de US
Na WikiLeaks very own documentary - full movie
Risks - Na WikiLeaks documentary, directed by Laura Poitras (a friend of Julian Assange) - full movie
The Fifth Estate - Na great movie about WikiLeaks
We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks - Na yet another documentary about WikiLeaks
Underground: The Julian Assange Story - Na another movie about Julian, wey describe him early career.

[GazetaBitcoin]

Thank you dear Sokani as you translate one more of my topic! Great job! Dis way more and more pipo go dey aware of de struggles of de poor Julian Assange.

Dis theme na dedication to Cypherpunk, to freedom of journalism, and at de same time, de material try to bring out de unjust justice wey Asange bin face. And all dis because he want talk de truth, de whole truth and nothing but de truth.

Similar to Ross Ulbricht, US government bin hold Asange as an example. At de same time, none of de oda journalist wey cooperate with am face similar allegations. No New York Times journalist wey secret agencies don ever persecute. No Der Spiegel journalist wey US don accuse of spying. No Guardian journalist wey dem don hunt. And all dis na de biggest names for de press wey collaborate with Asange. Instead dem bin hold am as role model.

We go only fit hope say him go dey finally free again...

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language: [Newbies] Read am b4 U stake an address
Original Topic: [Newbies] Read this before you stake an address
Author: BlackHatCoiner


To stake address mean sey u suppose know wetin u dey do,if u be newcomer. Also,

Signatures and their capabilities are complicated.

Nai make I yan dis thread; make tins no con hard for newcomers and make dem sabi wetin dem dey do. If you bi newcomer wey know why e dey necessari to stake ur address and how dem dey do am(wit wat softwares). I go focus on how u go take stake am in a way wey comma no go dey and na ur brain u go use.


Staking.

Wen u don stake ur address, u go do am so dat if need dey wey you go prove sey de account na ur own, u go fit do am. Di wahala bi sey most times, pipo dey use mechanical method dey operate well well, na becos sey dem no sabi wetin dem dey do. If u neva stake address b4, just jejely visit de koko thread den make u drop ur address wey ur non-custodial wallet generate, na like dat:

Code:

This is my address, please quote it: bc1q0fc0e3e0zpve6qg2fw2tfxwnvsw5p4kae3u2yx

Need no dey for u to bring message wey already dey signed from dat address, becos we sabi am at de moment, de owner wey get de account don stake deir first address. E dey veri obvious sey na deir own weda dem sign message or dem no sign.

E dey advisable sey make u use address wey dey unique, especialli de one wey neva receive Bitcoins. U go fit do am, sha, but e go harm ur privacy. E go beta make u choose address wey no get connection wit ur transactions.


Signing.

Wen dem go ask u to lap di proof sey na u get de address, u go sign and u go publish di message. [dis one na how] [dis one na why]

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am BlackHatCoiner. Today is 08/11/2021 (15:01). This is a proof that I still own bc1q0fc0e3e0zpve6qg2fw2tfxwnvsw5p4kae3u2yx.

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

If u wan stake anoda address, you go need to sign a message from ur old address and e go contain ur new address inside am:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am BlackHatCoiner. Today is 08/11/2021 (15:01). My new signing address is bc1q2mxckeclkndcu68m5v7qhf6guwakn6en96s2mc.

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Note sey reason no dey at all for u to sign a message from di new address, na desame reason wey no need to do am for ur first address. We sabi am at de moment, u don sign message from ur old address, we don reason am finish sey truli na u, and u don choose to stake anoda address.

Dis one fit happen for many reasons. Pesin fit becos of fear of de old casala. If na dat kind case, den u go bring ur signed message wey onli de owner of di account go fit provide a signature from de new address and no from de old one.


Quoting and Verifying.

Now dat one na dey optional, na for only pipo wey wan help for de quotation and verification of di thread's addresses.

For some users fes time dem dey like stake deir address alongside wit a signed message, if dem feel sey to stake onli address no do dem (I don sha explain am for up why e dey sufficient). If de user don stake a signed message, u go need to verify am.

IF de message no fit dey verified, den e mean sey de user neva provide signature wey dey valid. Dat kind case, u go reply dem sey dem do sometin wrong durin di procedure and wetin I mean by “reply” I mean sey u go quote de whole message just in case dem don edit deir post. If na de fess time wey dem dey try to stake address, den no palava. Dem go learn las las. If dem don stake address b4 and dem wan stake anoda one, but dem no fit provide u message wey dey valid from the previous address, den di mata go con dey look suspicious.

If dem don send u signed message las las den na like dis e dey look like:

Code:

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am BlackHatCoiner.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

U go deny am flat and u go con ask for one wey dem no reach sign b4. To make sure sey di original owner no reach sign the message wey dem ask (wey hacker fit don take am from am), u go need to ask dem but no be wit gra gra make dem provide u one extra tin; time. If dem post message wey time dey, den we fit confirm de pesin wey get di account.

As for ur post wey quote de signed message:  E no dey necessary to provide link wey go carry the reader go website/image wey go confirm de message's verification.E get some users wey don create websites wey fit archive every post wey pesin don create. [loyce.club, ninjastic.space]

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language: Anonymity & Privacy dey different
Original Topic: Differences between anonymity & privacy
Author: BlackHatCoiner

I don think am sey make newcomers know di difference between anonymity&privacy . Pipo dey like confuse dem or some pipo dey consider am sey na desame, but deir meaning no be desame. I dey like compare dem with Bitcoin each time make e dey clear.

• Privacy

Privacy na when pipo get di abiliti to seclude information about demselves. In oda words e mean sey, na di right wey pesin get wey e no go fit dey subjected by unauthorized invasions like government's. For example, corporation go fit want make u bring ur personal details to serve u di appropriate advertisement. Google fit use Adsense take invade ur privacy; if u wan watch video or u wan google sentence about “Pets”, u go see things like  Pet Shops/Food/Toys whenever u dey find google ad.

In Bitcoin, dem fit invade ur privacy. Make we talk sey Charlie and Bob don receive 5 BTC from Alice for transaction wey resemble dis one:

1ALice...   10 BTC --> 1CharLie...  (5 BTC)
                       |  --> 1Bob...        (5 BTC)

Alice & Charlie don know sey Bob address na 1Bob[...]. E mean sey if Bob choose to send dis 5 bitcoins, dem fit track am down. Make I give u anoda example; make we sey if Bob wan get rid of all ehn Bitcoins dats ehn dey sell dem to exchange. He don choose to combine all ehn input and create one output.

1Bob...   5 BTC --> 1Exch4nge... (25 BTC)
16Uw...  2 BTC
1Ku8...   8 BTC
1HA8...  10 BTC

Now Alice & Charlie fit observe sey di signer of di address wey receive 5 BTC b4 na di owner of three addresses wit 2,8 and 10 BTC. Even if dem no reach succeed find dat di receiving address na exchange's, dem don already sabi am too much. Bob dey exposed and every transaction wey ehn dey make from any of ehn four addresses fit dey censored by pipo. In oda words e mean sey, if Bob don commit illegal activity from di 1Bob[...] address, dem go consider all of dem wit wetin we dey call “tainted bitcoins”, because sey dem be dey in di possession of a criminal. Even if sey pesin don make complete legal transaction wit Bob, he or she go fit dey censored. Pipo dey use mixers or/and mixing protocols to take enhance deir privacy.

Here na beta technical thread to read: [Education] Bitcoin Privacy and Anonymity

• Anonymity

Anonymity na when di identity of a pesin no dey known and no technique wey dem fit use identify or reach di pesin. For dis forum, I use dis name take register  “BlackHatCoiner”, but if my IP don leak somehow, u go fit theoretically use technique take reach information about my identity. So,I dey anonymous? No. Example of anonymity wey dey happen for real life na free elections.

In Bitcoin, while ur address no dey reveal anything about ur identity, di block chain dey show transactions wey u make, di amounts wey dem transact and when dem transact am. If u wan buy something from store and u use input of 10000 BTC, di seller fit sha know how many bitcoins u at least get. So, na anonymous? No. na pseudonymous.


So, di concept privacy dey describe activities wey u wan keep dem for urself, privately. On di oda hand, anonymity na when u want pipo to know wetin u dey do', u no just want dem to know sey na u dey do am.

• Anonymity na when u donate to a charity wey na cash u use.
• Privacy na when u lock di door inside bathroom; no be because sey u dey hide anything, na u wan just keep di activity dere to urself.

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language: Blockstream Jade - na fully open source hardware wallet
Original Topic: Blockstream Jade - fully open source hardware wallet
Author: witcher_sense

If u dey prefer open source hardware wallets, den make u look dis new product from - Blockstream Jade.

Of recent, Blockstream deir team (Blockstream CEO Dr. Adam Back and Blockstream Chief Architect Lawrence Nahum) don yan deir new hardware wallet Jade wit fully open source hardware and software.

Dis wallet go support Bitcoin BTC and all Liquid assets of di Liquid Network (L-BTC, Tether (USDt), L-CAD, JPYS and odas).

Di hardware wallet dey available for pre-order and di price dey affordable.



Anoda information to add(Q&A from recent AMA on Reddit):

Q: Di WIFI in di MCU e dey disabled through firmware? U get plans to use WiFi for di future?
A: Di WiFI in di MCU e dey currently disabled but dem fit still enable am. Jade dey come wit two firmware variants, one na wit radio and anoda one na without radio. Di one wey no come wit radio no get di WiFi or BLE drivers to work. Jade ships wit di BLE firmware but e come wit BLE off by default.

Q: Jade PSBT dey compatible ?
A: Jade dey use wally wey get PSBT support. At di moment Jade dey support Green multisig wey no dey take advantage of PSBT. We dey plan to add to Jade single sig and PSBT support.

Q: Where dem dey manufacture am?
A: Na desame manufacturer like M5 Stack but a custom model for Blockstream.

Q: U dey sell device at-cost or at-loss?
A: No we no dey subsidize di hardware, keep am in mind sey Jade dey based on libwally which dey do most of di heavy lifting.

Q: Wetin be "server enforced PIN protection"?
A: Di mnemonic wey dem don  generate e dey immediately encrypted using AES256 and wit di use of a secret key wey dey computed through an encrypted and authenticated channel wit a [remote] blind oracle server, di authentication dey involve ephemeral elliptic curve Diffie Hellman exchange wit a server key wey dey known. Den di encrypted mnemonic dey stored on di encrypted flash of di Jade and e dey protected by secure boot [v2].

Di blind server no dey aware of di actual PIN nor e fit brute force am. Also di  blind server no dey associated wit di users account (e no dey associated wit di per user derivation paths)

If di PIN wey u enter dey incorrect 3 times di server and Jade both go delete di secret and e go require a from scratch mnemonic restore on Jade.

Di companion app nor any ISP/WiFi AP in di middle fit inspect di data passed between Jade and di oracle, e also dey able to tell u if di PIN dey correct or wrong (oda dan potential timing attacks). Di oracle dey available through Tor and open source and in di future users go fit dey able to run deir own and point deir Jade to am if dem prefer.

Q: Dem fit use am wit non-Blockstream wallets?
A: At di moment e no dey supported but full support dey planned. Currently e fit work sha but e go require u to confirm change manually and e no go enforce single sig path anti-ransom checks.

Q: Wetin make u choose to make dis device?
A: Di koko experiment na to porting libwally to esp32 and na base on di [PocketSprite](https://pocketsprite.com/) but most of di development occur on any of di easy to find esp32 boards and den on real Jades.

We think sey di market get beta hardware wallets but we feel sey space dey for sometin wey dey a bit different, wit some different design decisions and feature set. Specificalli we wan experiment wit Liquid features as well as advanced bitcoin features.

Q: How di security model dey compare to Trezor, Ledger, Coldcard?
A: Jade no get secure element so dere's dat.

However e get secure secure boot + encrypted flash and as per prior answer e get a blind oracle enforced PIN. Dis dey act almost like a remote 'secure element'.

Q: How we wan take define a “hardware wallet” – abi make di definition involve Internet-connected devices wey dey communicate wit servers?An airgap dey important or na just security theater?
A: Hardware Wallet get thinner surface of attack if u compare am to ur average internet connected laptop or mobile phone. Di both wen e come to di OS stack as well as radio/network.

For maximum security u wan avoid radio all togeda, however den u no fit use hardware wallet wit iOS. Well unless u wan use di camera, which na sometin we dey work on (e dey work but e require some improvements)

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language: Everytin wey u go wan like to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
Original Topic: Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
Author: fillippone


Lateli, di Idea of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (SBR) don surface for plenti news reports. Di idea sey di US fit use Bitcoin as strategic reserve don prove fundamental to push di price of Bitcoin thru di 100K barrier.

In dis thread, I go explain wetin Strategic Reserve means and How Bitcoin Reserve dey relevant.

1. Wetin Strategic Reserve mean
2. Di current proposal: B.I.T.C.O.I.N. Act
3. Implementation Details: how dem fit do am
4. Price Expectations from a BSR launch
5. Oda Implementations wey dey around di world
6. Oda stakeholders deir opinions and thoughts
7. Market Expectation
8.Di Links and documents


1. Wetin Strategic Reserve mean

Strategic reserve na stockpile of critical resources wey a government, large institution, or oda entity don set aside for exceptional circumstances—like emergencies, severe supply disruptions, wars, or periods of extreme market volatility.
No be like regular inventories wey dey cycle thru daily usage, strategic reserves are intentionally maintained as a buffer against uncertainty, ensuring stability and security in times of crisis.

Strategic Reserves get few characteristics wey make dem unique and make dem different from standard storage:

• Long-Term Storage: Dem dey typically store strategic resources for long period and release dem only when yawa don burst.
• Critical Nature of Resources: Di commodities or assets wey dey involved dey important to national security, economic stability, or societal well-being
• Controlled Access: Governments or top-level governing bodies usualli dey oversee di maintenance, release, and replenishment of all dis reserves, guided by well-defined protocols.

For example, di United States currently get two principal Strategic reserves.

• Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR): after di oil crisis wey happen in di '70s, di US government don decide to create a stockpile of oil administered by di US Department of Energy wey dem go use take protect di US economy against extreme market price fluctuations or as a reserve to provide power to di domestic industrial activities in case of supply chain wahala, or war. Currently, di SPR get pass 390 Barrels of oils (di maximum allowed capacity of di reserve pass 700 million barrels) e dey for 4  salt Caves along di Gulf of Mexico for a valuation of about more dan 27 billion, wit di WTI trading at around 75$ per barrel.
• Gold Reserve : Na US get di largest Gold Reserve for di world, wit about 8,133.5 metric tons wit di total of almost 700 billion in value. Nearly 65% of dos reserves dem hold am for United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox.
  Na di Federal Government nai get di Gold. Di Government don issue "Gold Certificates" to di Federal Reserve Banks for a total amount of $11 billion. Dis certificate dey serve Di Federal Reserve Banks as a small portion of collateral for di Federal Reserve Notes. Di Federal Reserve no get Gold.

Di US government get many oda Strategic Reserves, including natural gas, grains, food, and cheese (dem dey use am to get raisins Reserves until 2015).


2. Di current proposal: B.I.T.C.O.I.N. Act

Cynthia Lummis, na Republican senator from Wyoming,na she introduce di idea of Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for July. She don advocate for di US government make dem consider Bitcoin as part of long-term strategic reserves. In di US Senate, she name di bill BITCOIN (Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide) Act.

July 31, 2024
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following her announcement of a historic proposal to supercharge the US dollar and pay down the national debt by establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, today US Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) officially introduced the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act in the US Senate.
"As families across Wyoming struggle to keep up with soaring inflation rates and our national debt reaches new and unprecedented heights, it is time for us to take bold steps to create a brighter future for generations to come by creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve," said Lummis. "Bitcoin is transforming not only our country but the world and becoming the first developed nation to use Bitcoin as a savings technology secures our position as a global leader in financial innovation. This is our Louisiana Purchase moment that will help us reach the next financial frontier."
The BITCOIN Act establishes a strategic Bitcoin reserve to serve as an additional store of value to bolster America's balance sheet and ensure the transparent management of Bitcoin holdings of the federal Government. Specifically, the legislation would:

• Establish a decentralized network of secure Bitcoin vaults operated by the United States Department of Treasury with statutory requirements ensuring the highest level of physical and cybersecurity for the nation's Bitcoin holdings.
• Implement a 1-million-unit Bitcoin purchase program over a set period of time to acquire a total stake of approximately 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, mirroring the size and scope of gold reserves held by the United States.
• Be paid for by diversifying existing funds within the Federal Reserve System and Treasury Department.
• Affirm self-custody rights of private Bitcoin holders and emphasize that the strategic Bitcoin reserve shall not infringe upon individual financial freedoms.
  

Source

Her proposals and public statements don outline a vision in wich di US dey treat Bitcoin similar to oda strategic assets—like Gold—for ehn treasury holdings, wich en wan get equal share of di world reserves under di US government control.

After Trump Election, di idea con gain ground:



Dem go enact di Bitcoin Strategic Reserve thru taxpayer-neutral operation,e go con enable di Government to grab like 1 Million Bitcoins,to hodl am for at least 20 years:

• Dem go fund di reserve by marking di Fed's gold certificates to market value and sell dem.
• Di Government go use di surplus take buy Bitcoin even without di use of di  Taxpayer deir money.
• Di Department of Justice go transfer di 208,000 Bitcoin from di Silkroad Case to di SBR.
• Di Government go buy 200,000 bitcoins annually for four consecutive years.
• The minimum period wey dem go hold am fit reach 20 years.

Di "new" idea concern di repricing of di Federal Reserve Certificates at mark-to-market valuations: dem issue di certificates at a statutory gold price of $42.22/oz in 1973 and now di value fit pass $2,600/oz.



Di gains obtain by dis adjustment go enable spending without creating new debt, e go to result neutral move wey regard taxpayers' deir money.


3. Implementation Details: how Dem fit do am

There are a few ways to transfer Bitcoin to the Strategic Reserve:

• Transfer Bitcoins seized to di FED. Di Department of Justice get like 208,000 bitcoins seized from di SilkRoad trial.Dem fit instate di bulk of di SBR by transferring dos coins to di FED.
• Open Market Purchases:Di Government fit buy di Bitcoin in di market, presumed thru partnership wit Coinbase. Dis one na the fastest way to  obtain bitcoins, yet di less efficient. For sure, di slippage in dis, or di market movement against di buying pressure,fit be di highest
• Strategic Partnership wit US Miners: dis fit be ingenuous way to do so. Di Government fit buy di Bitcoins wey dem mine for US for average price. Dis one go benefit di miners wit stable price and di Government limiting di market impact. Di Government fit sha collect taxes from mining firms direct in BTC and dem go con offer di subjects grants to tilt deir electricity balance toward carbon neutrality thru renewable energy sources or even facilitate ERCOT-style agreements wit local grids. Dis mata fit perfectly align wit Donald Trump vision for di industry
  
  :
  
  To create dis kind of partnership wit di private sector go benefit both di parties wey dey involved and di industry as a whole.

4. Price Expectations from a BSR launch

Di launch of Bitcoin Strategic reserve go get plenti impact on market price.
E go happen thru different mechanisms:

• Direct market impact: di buys go impact di market, directly e go affect sellers. Dis level go dey mitigated thru sophisticated buying strategies, as we don see, but dramatically e go change di market microstructure.
• Indirect Market Impact: Di first BSR wey dem go launch go get very strong signalling toward oda sovereign authorities, open di race for di second BSR announcement. Flywheel spinning go dey, e go attract oda National Bank toward Buying bitcoin, like today dem get race to buy Gold.
• Model-induced Buying: Di opening of BSR-induced buying dey necessary to propel Bitcoin in di next phase of growth, sometin wey dey necessary for all di bullish models around (be it Stock to Flow, Power Law or S-Curve approach) to see deir prediction come true. As long as  dem no "negate," dos models di framework na bullish.

Havin said dat, to assess di precise impact of a BSR dey quite tricky, but of course, di effect fit be gargantuan.

Na couple of predictions:

	Novogratz: 500K	Adam Back: Millions

As a ballpark, we fit estimate di US buying impact base on wetin happen wit di ETF launch. If di ETF propel di price from 40K in January 2024 to 100K in December 2024 wit 30 Billion in inflows, den 1 Million bitcoins, or 100B inflows from di launch of di US SBR, fit sha propel di market from 100K to 300K. Dis fit account only for di first factor, leaving out di impact from factors 2 (Indirect Buying) and 3 (Model Induced Buying).


5. Oda implementations wey dey around di world.

Oda countries don sha establish or dem dey consider di creation of strategic Bitcoin reserves:

Among di established Bitcoin Reserves:

• El Salvador: In September 2021, El Salvador na di first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender.

  Contrary to oda nations, Bhutan don dey quite active for di market, regularly dem dey sell di Bitcoin wey dem mine

Some oda nations don propose to instate a domestic SBR:

• Brazil: In November 2024, Brazilian Congressman Eros Biondini, a Brazilian Congressman, ehn propose a bill to create a Sovereign Strategic Reserve of Bitcoins (RESBit).

  Russian Lawmaker Proposes Creating Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Report
   
• US States
  
  • TexasTexas House introduce bill to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve

Des make clear say di idea of an SRB no be pure US-centric invention but rada a sensible proposal wey fit reshape di future of a diverse range of countries.
Apparentli, more dey to come, and e no dey difficult to believe wetin Prince Filip of Serbia Jan3, Chief Strategy Officer, dey report:



Oda States, according to bitcointreasuries.net, get some stash of Bitcoin. Still, e no constitute Bitcoin Strategic Reserves, as na only seized bitcoins, often dem dey sell am or na di Government dey hold am temporarily, waitin to be sold on di market.


6. Oda stakeholders deir opinions and thoughts

• J.Powell
  

  	Bitcoin na competitor wit Gold, no be di US dollar.	Fed's Powell talk sey Bitcoin na just like Gold, except e dey digital

  Di declaration sey Bitcoin dey competes wit Gold as di store of value asset of choice don push di Bitcoin price skyrocketing on Wednesday, Dec 6th, wen Bitcoin don finally broke di USD 100,000 price level for di first time.
• Micheal Saylor Na him be di first pesin to speak about a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve at di Cantor Conference
  
  
• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alternative strategic reserve plan support am to acquire 5 million Bitcoin.
• Ro Khanna, na Democratic House Representative from California,been dey also dey supportive of di creation of a Bitcoin Reserve:

  "We want to make sure that we have the openness to having bitcoin as part of the Federal Reserve and as a reserve asset because of its potential for appreciation and because of its potential to allow America to set the financial standards."

• Bill Dudley ehn reject di idea of an SBR as di implementation go dey highly impractical and risky.
  According to Dudley, adopting an SBR go only inflate di Bitcoin Price without a clear benefit to di US, wich would bi invested in a highly volatile, illiquid asset.
  Dudley also state sey di BITCOIN ACT also need a clear exit strategy.

• Bitcoin Policy Institute Digital Gold dey Evaluate a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for di United States
  
  Dis essay from di Bitcoin Policy Institute na di best review of di BSR concept so far. Na recommended read.
• Eric Trump: Ehn take sey BSR go happen las las as Donald Trump take ehn office.
  
• Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC)talk say "Primary use case for Bitcoin seem to bi a store of
  value aka digital Gold "
  

7. Market Expectation

Di creation of an SBR how e take dey probable?
Pool dey on Polymarket wey place di probability of Trump going on wit di proposal in di first 100 days at 29%:



Di probability of dis measure dey lie in di first 100 days, and di President fit leverage dis as a National Security Mata. Dis mean sey him fit issue an Executive Order to immediately instate di SBR as alternative to di standard approval path thru Congress.

Make una help me translate my best posts in your Local Board

I am a firm believer in the utility of local boards.
I am lucky enough to be able to express myself in at least a couple of languages, but I know this is not the case for everyone.
Many users post only on the local boards for various reasons, such as language or cultural barriers, lack of interest, or other reasons.
I personally know a lot of very good users (from the Italian sections mainly, for obvious reasons) who don't post in the international sections.

All those users are missing a lot of good content posted on the international (English) section or other boards.

Original Topic:[overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format
Author: LoyceV
watin dey behind dis thread creation
I don see many topic like: how u go take recover old wallet wey dey strange and d answer dey very simple if d person fit know d format. since d different format go dey increase for number, and (for future)I dey expect say so many people dem go still forget d format wey dem take store dem bitcoin, so I come think am 10 years ago or more say I need to create dis thread. d reason why I create dis topic na to give full torri for any person wey go find bitcoin for any kind of storage format.

d topic still dey in progress
dis thread still dey in progress abeg, post any storage format wey u know say dey miss or any kind information wey you wan contribute join, so I fit add am to d topic( I go appreciate you put). I never try all format by myself, so I no fit talk say I know all of dem. if u see another topic, wey talk of another format wey I no cover for here, abeg drop e link.

Warning: dey very careful
First: create one or more backups dem (thank u DaveF)! u go make sure say u no dey work put for d only copy wey u get, as u go fit loss everything.
make sure say u know watin u dey do, before u do am! if u no trust ur self, no do am.
no answer and report any kind private message wey get as e be, from old or new people dem. talk watin u need for public for bitcointalk, but NO GO post ur private keys, seed phrase or files wey concern ur wallet. NO GO dey trust help wey u receive from Ur pm, dem fit scam u. dey careful, which screenshot u dey upload.
no trust anybody with Ur private keys dem, except say u go fit trust dat person with d same amount of money.
many website, go dey wan make u download fake wallet. make sure say u dey use d official website before u download and check d signature of d installer/checksum ( thank u ETFbitcoin).
use airgap computer wey dey offline, wey dey run from Linux LIVE DVD (for example Ubuntu or Knoppix) no use internet connection.
no put bitcoin wey many for inside hot wallet. imagine say ur system don get issue, and do am with sense.  no trust ur computer clipboard, malware fit change Ur bitcoin address to dem own. even say u check only d first few characters wey start d address, e no reach to avoid am.
if u dey use paper wallet, u go need to use d full balance once. if u use only small amount, u dey in risk and u fit lose d rest of your balance to change address.

Where u go send your Bitcoins

before u plan say u wan recover Ur funds, u supposed don already plan where u wan send dem go after u recover dem. how to set better wallet pass watin dis thread dey talk about, I go advice make u start Ur research for here: Choose your [Bitcoin] Wallet. think am well, if u want or no wan use segwit address.
make one or many backups wey dey safe before u put money for inside any wallet.

Bitcoin private keys (dis part Carey many data wey dey come from bitaddress.org)

• WIF (Wallet Import Format) (51 characters base58, wey start with "5").
  Example: 5KMWmYkn5YWkJnUDG4utD9L1HXQv3DBseqqCGsQXmthcEerbA7k
• WIF Compressed (52 characters base58, wey start with "K" or "L").
  Example: L41YPdADy46J9Vh77WGR2bktFwEZ6knza2Xim3Urq9CEWynkkLgn
  Note: both WIF and WIF Compressed dey come from d same private key, but dey produce different Bitcoin address.
• Private Key Hexadecimal (64 characters [0-9A-F]) (e dey less common).
  Example: CA9A061710B8BC582E1B8BB60D0F3F2751791888AB5C18737620087ABDF74A05
• Private Key (44 characters base64) (e dey less common).
  Example: ypoGFxC4vFguG4u2DQ8/J1F5GIirXBhzdiAIer33SgU=
• Mini private key (22, 26 or 30 characters base58, wey start with "S", see wiki or dis post)
  Example: Sf2i92UoH3kMooYXHdDQ4YQvLTdPrQ
• BIP38 password encrypted private key (58 characters base58, wey start with "6P", see bitaddress.org, click Wallet Details).
  Example: 6PRNqE9p5hTUgNy5cxXnrfVKZPX5Qz8sqB7oNfDT9N3YdCM7rqRxruxkN1
• Private key missing checksum
  Example: 5KMWmYkn5YWkJnUDG4utD9L1HXQv3DBseqqCGsQXmthcEerbA7k
  d last characters wey dey private keys na checksum. blockchain.info backups, dey commot d checksum. one easy way to take import d private key without say u no use checksum na to import an come new wallet for Blockchain.info(now na blockchain.com) and den u go export am again.
  remember say: I no go tell u say make u expose Ur private key put for online wallet, but if na for Blockchain.info u for create am, dat wan mean say e fit don dey corrupt already. (source and details; dis Information fit no dey correct. (thank u Coding Enthusiast)).
• Private key for SegWit addresses
  u fit use private key take create segwit address (wey start with "3" or "bc1"). u fit import dem come inside
  Electrum na for u to just add "p2wpkh-p2sh:" or "p2wpkh:" like dat for d private key front.  (source and details).
• private key wey no complete
  if u don losss some characters for Ur private key, options still dey for u to take recover am (if e dey miss 5 character for locations wey u known , if e dey miss 1 character for location wey u no know (I never test am)), but any more explanation go carry us commot from watin dis topic dey about.
• Blockstack
  if u get Bitcoin for CLI Blockstack node, read dis topic and dis topic.
  
• Coinbase multisig Vault
  if u get Coinbase multisig Vault, read dis topic, dis post and dis post.
• Cryptolator multisig physical coin
  If u get Cryptolator multisig physical coin, read dis post (and d rest of dat topic).

If u get d private key, you fit choose to import from many different wallets dem. Electrum na e actually be d easiest. if d private key dey for d wrong format, you fit use bitaddress.org (do am offline!!) to convert am  to WIF or WIF Compressed.

find d wallet base on d name wey dey d files. (note: dis ones no b d follow come names, u fit don rename Ur own.)

• wallet.dat
  Use Bitcoin Core
  Note: many altcoins dem dey use d same filename. so u no go see any bitcoin for inside Ur wallet..
• default_wallet
  Use Electrum.
• bitcoin-wallet-backup-YYYY-MM-DD. Example: bitcoin-wallet-backup-2015-12-31
  Use Bitcoin Wallet for Android or  recover am manually (How I go Tay do am?).

Seed phrases, Word lists or Mnemonic phrases
u fit store Bitcoin wallet as seed phrase dem wey normally be 12 to 24 word in total. d  word wey dem dey use fit dey for many language dem(thank u HeRetiK).

• 12 words
  Example: thrive jump wheel calm eyebrow order ankle raven fee narrow diamond adult
  u fit make d seed long with one or more word wey u want.
  Use Electrum, or iancoleman's Mnemonic Code Converter (do am offline!!) if u wan extract all private keys. go here if u wan use Electrum seed with Iancoleman.
• 24 words
  na 24 words dem Hardware wallets, like Trezor and Ledger, dey normally use.
  Example: party describe tunnel brother explain laugh hello have short wood bird desk liar pole neck push wine tooth young mean grain join cheap aisle
  Use d original hardware wallet, or iancoleman's Mnemonic Code Converter (do am offline!!) to take extract all private keys.
  one mistake wey dey common na be say u no arrange d words well. Wen dem write dem like dis:
  1 2
  3 4
  5 6
  7 8
  
  but u come dey try recover dem like dis: 1 3 5 7 ...... 2 4 6 8 ......
• words wey no first dey
  if u no remember how u Tay create d list, u fit use
  iancoleman's Mnemonic Code Converter (do am offline!!) to tay extract all private keys.
• word(s) dey miss or e no dey correct
  Try seedrecover.py (I never test am) (do am offline!!) (thank u o_e_l_e_o). Updated link: here.
• Master private key (111 characters, wey start with "xprv" (legacy addresses wey start with "1"), "yprv" (backward-compatible SegWit addresses wey start with "3") or "zprv" (native SegWit addresses wey start with "bc1") (source).
  Example: xprv9xyQEZakyfuyCRGF1moJNatpGDAgMS4hgctAgWU4RNw664qCz6agreZParHx6G24td48SZKnmK8 ppSVMvmyBuTy9L4poDhwgm9aR9GukgQW (source if u wan read more)
  Use Electrum > create new wallet > put seed.
• Armory Root Key: 18 four letter "words".
  Example (from bitkee.com): eoaj gghu ruaf ghwe jnrh ftuu hweu aeun agkg tudt waja gunn oawg jkwh dhei hjdn itar naoj
  Use Armory.look dis post if u wan export private keys.
• Blockchain.info: if u wan recover old legacy Blockchain.info wallet, read dis topic then go here.
• Blockchain.info: for some kind case, Blockchain.info (now na .com) dey show private key wey dey compressed, while d address dey uncompressed. Read dis topic.
• mSIGNA wallet: dis wallet dey use 24 seed word implementation wey no dey standard. Read dis topic for recovery options.

Brute-forcing
u fit brute force Ur seed phrase or private key, if u loss part of am (do am offline!!).

• btcrecover
• The FinderOuter

No wallet?
if u no fit find Ur wallet.dat file, because e don delete or d name don change, u fit try dis option (do am offline!!) after u don backup d whole storage.

• Pywallet go fit search for private keys wey dey storage, even if dem don delete d wallet.
• Findwalletgo fit search for wallet file after dem rename am( but no delete am)

After recovery
if u put money for inside Ur address before, dat one mean say u sef don get Forkcoins. Read dis  link, e go dey worth Ur time. incase of backup for future, make sure say u keep all d information to take recover Ur funds.

No spam
I don dey self moderate all my topics dem,to take avoid signature spam. I go remove all post wey no make sense. if u go dey quote d whole topic, I go delete Ur post. once once, I go dey combine posts dem and clean dis thread.

Altcoins
dis thread and board, na for only bitcoin. but if something comes sub, I go keep trying find methods to take restore private key wey dey damage too for altcoins. for future reference:

• Stellar Lumens private key (56 characters base32, starting with "S")
  If 1 or 2 characters no dey correct, try StellarCracker (by Coding Enthusiast)

Take note
if u use dis information, I dey on Ur own. many many times, reason am well before u do anything especially when e concern Ur private key. when u no dey sure, no do am. I be human being and I dey make mistake. if something no dey correct, abeg tell me.

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; 5 things wey you fit use teach common person about Bitcoin
Original Topic: 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin
Author: fillippone

 I done dey often find myself for tough situations to answer this kind question:
"I done hear about this Bitcoin thing, how I fit buy am"
 Well, I no dey like take unnecessary risks, and to buy Bitcoin when I no know any thing about am just be like "investment wey I no use my head" that one na better wey to loose guard money.

 So I go like make my mama/common people get small understanding of wetin Bitcoin be, before dem go even think of to buy some of am.
 The problem now come be say to explain Bitcoin come dey difficult; Bitcoin dey for the T junction of things oyibo call Cryptography, Economics Monetary theory, Game Theory, Computer Networking and data transmission, to get idea about any of those things, no be only say eh dey difficult oo but eh go also make your explanation dey bias and eh fit even cast the process.(i go sha sabi about Cryptography, wetin I sabi concerning that area go weigh but no be guarantee say na wetin go trigger my counterpart).

 So now I wan post collection of 5 things wey I don gather (articles, videos, Twitter account, portals, yhr list choke) where to lead people wey go fit invest.

Na the list be this.
 My idea na to dey constantly update am as new ideas dey come out and according to una suggestions.

• Lopp.net Bitcoin gist & things wey you fit use
  This one na the resources wey I gathered about Bitcoin, you go read from the basics (white paper) to the one wey dey more advanced and the technical ones too, both articles wey dem write and video/animation from Jameson Lopp, Professional Cypherpunk (abeg take note of Cypherpunk, no be Cyberpunk).
  
  
• Bitcoin for people wey just dey start
  This one na playlist of introductory videos from Andreas Antonopoulos, wey dey cover different aspect of Bitcoin, wetin em be, how to buy am, where and how to store am...
  
  
• How to Showcase The Level Bitcoin Done Reach When eh Dey Scarce
  This one na very simple, yet mind-blowing model to use value Bitcoin, no be financial advice.
  
  
• The Levels Bitcoin Done Get: Another Option For Decentralized Central Banking
   This on na mind-blowing read, eh dey totally non-technical and eh no directly relate to Bitcoin: if you no fall in love with Bitcoin after you read this one, you no go ever do am.
  

  While Bitcoin na new invention of the digital age, the problem wey em claim to solve don old like our human society emself: eh dey transfer value across time and space. Anmous dey carry em reader on engaging journey through the history of technologies wey dey perform the functions of money, from primitive systems wey dem dey use dey trade limestones and seashells to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government their debt. Come even dey explore wetin been give these technologies their monetary role, and how most of them lose am, eh dey provide reach with good idea of wetin dey cause stable money, come set stage for the economic discussion of em consequences for individual and society future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. In a way wey you no go fit resist, Ammous dey show say no be coincidence say the highest achievements of humanity done come for societies wey dey enjoy the benefits of stable monetary  regimes, nor eh dey coincidental say monetary dey usually follow civilizational collapse.
  

• BitcoinTalk.org Forum
  Eh fit be small circular reference here, but I think once you done dey inside the past 4 resources you done ready to enter inside the Rabbit Hole [WARNING!  EH DEY CONSUME TIME!]
  
  

This na collection of other resources, wey dem randomly order, wey come up as suggestions from the comment section below:

• Bitcoin for people wey just dey start
  
  
• Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology: Economics and how eh fit sustain the Environment
   Introductory Video By F.Ametrano, wey dey explain why Bitcoin na digital Gold.
  
  
• The Internet of Moni
  collection of Talks by Andreas Antonopoulos
  
  
• The Bullish Case for Bitcoin
  As Bitcoin Twitter account describe am:
  

  Essential text for beginners to understand why Bitcoin dey important by @real_vija
  

  
  
• Binance Acada
  Collection of videos wey dem clearly explain and articles for beginners wey go give them better understanding of all the concepts around Cryptocurrencies and trading.
  
  
• Bitcoin for safety
  A convincing read why Bitcoin matter during the time of negative interest rates, QE and bubble of everything.
  
  
• Dear Family, Dear Friends, this na letter to all of una wey never still get bitcoin.
  

  I dey write this letter because I dey convinced of two things: (1) our current money dey fundamentally broken (2) to use superior money go benefit you in particular - and society in general- as time dey go.
  

  
  
• Wetin you go do and Wetin you no go do concerning Bitcoin Key Management
  

  Bitcoin dey provide users with extremely high level of control over their money. You fit done hear about the phrase "be your own bank" wey dey do better job to describe the power wey Bitcoin give em users to hold. The disadvantage be say to be your own bank dey come with plenty responsibility. The same qualities wey make Bitcoin get better value (without permission, censorship, resistance, resistance to seizure, etc.), also make am fine to scammers.
   These scammers done come up with different kind of traps to fool bitcoin users come run with their money, cine dey make bitcoin more challenging to dey use am safely. The Internet na dangerous place, but we get tools to protect ourselves!
  

  
  
• Why you go like own some bitcoin (and how to do am responsibly)t
  

  This post dey outline the learning path wey I done dey recommend for friends and family wey dey new to Bitcoin. You go by watching  short video, then buy few satoshis (the smallest unit of bitcoin). You go come learn more about Bitcoin, choose wetin dey interesting to you from selected list of research content. By the end, you go understand the main reasons to own bitcoin, plus how to buy more come store am safely.
  

  
  

So, I want una help!


This post dey qualified for my project.

Help me translate my better better posts for your Local Board

I be strong believer in the usage of local boards.
 I dey lucky enough to dey able to express myself for at least a one or two languages, but I know say that one no be same thing for everybody.
 A lot of users dey only post for their local boards because of different reasons either language or cultural barriers, lack of interest or any kind of other reason.
 I personally sabi plenty good users (from the Italian sections mainly, for obvious reason) wey no dey like post for the international sections.

 Wetin I think be say all those users dey miss a lot of good contents wey people dey post for the international (English) section or for other boards.

 If you think say you fit help here, just visit the thread!

Original Topic:[GUIDE] Overview of the trust flags
Author: Upgrade00
I make up my mind to do small research for inside d new trust system, so e go dey easy for new people dem to take understand d system for inside one thread.

all d account wey I use for here, na just for example, me no support or oppose any of d accusation.


Watin be trust flags?

dem introduce trust flag, so e go help break down d trust system.
Introduction thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153344.0
To take warn members say some people fit be scam and fit be say dem don break contract wey dem make or write.
d old trust system go help calculate d trust history of person. e go give general view of how much we fit take trust forum people. we fit use d trust system for negative, positive or neutral  feedback. Trust flag na only for negative feedback. u fit delete trust, but u no fit delete flag once e don dey active.

Trust flag go need at least three or more people wey dey support am instead of to oppose am. na only support wey dey come from Ur trust group go count, for guests, dem go use d default trust.

Types of flags wey dey
- flag wey dey warn newbie : dem dey give dis one if evidence dey wey talk say one user no fit dey trusted i.e, d matter no actually dey connected to u.

u go fit see am untop d person topic and e only dey visible to guests wey be newbie and members wey don log in for less than 7days.
while other people dem go only see '#' beside d person trust score.
make we see dis user, The-One-Above-All.
d account get newbie warning flag for e profile.

-: flag if you break Contract:dem dey give dis one base on activity wey dey directly connected to u. for example, dis user NLNico don put flag for d user SafeDice and e come get many support pass opposition (>3). d flag dey show for d user( person wey scam) trust summary and also for e topic dem( members go fit see am).

u go fit still see am through d feedback wey NLNico send.

users wey log out go still get warning

users wey log out go see d warning for trust enabled section, if more DT members come give d person wey start d topic negative trust pass positive trust

•flag wey dey active go show yellow color.
•contract violation flag wey get red trust go show red. dis one go on d: "Warning: Trade with extreme caution" for d user trust score.
• flag wey dey warn about newbie dey also show as yellow and red colors.
• person go fit create both newbie warning flag and flag wey break contract.
•u no fit create flag with thread wey dey self moderated as link. e also dey adviced say make u no use post of d person wey scam, instead archive d evidence, create new post and link all d evidence for there.


Who go fit start flag?

anybody go fit start flag wey dey warn about newbie, e go need more support than opposition for am to show.
 
anybody wey another user scam, go fit still start flag wey break contract. u go only fit view flag wey people for Ur trust network create. e go need at least three or more supporters pass people wey dey oppose, for am to dey active.
u fit create trust flags through link wey dey user profile.

but u go need to dey sure of Ur evidence before u create or support flag;

u dey confirm clear matter, when u create or support scam flag. if person still support flag wey e know say e no correct, den dat one dey clear say na abuse, I go make sure to remove those kind people from DT asap. we go also commot people wey dey wrong (even if say dem no know).

How long d flag go take show once e dey active?

because of forgiveness/redemption, scam flag go expire 3years after d matter, if d contract dey casual/implied, and 10 years after d matter if dem write d contract. administrator go fit change d expiration time
for some cases.

limits dey for flag wey user create:

na dis limit na e dey:
 - u go only fit give one flag for each type to person inside 180days. so u no go fit give person plenty contract violation flag wey dem write inside 180days. for example.
 - Globally, per year u go only fit create 1 flag per d activity points wey u get but at least 1/year.

d flag system cancel all d old negative trust?
negative trust from d pre-flag system no dey convert to trust flags but

- if d number of pre-flag-system negative trust ratings many pass d number of all positive trust ratings, e go show one warning barner for guest and newbies wey get small login time.

abeg drop your suggestions, additions and any corrections wey dey.

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; SEED storage fo digital media 
Original Topic: SEED storage on digital media
Author: satscraper

Wit dis contribution I go like share my "ogbonge": way wey I dey use to dai store my SEED phrase fo digital media.

Na fo dis reason, I dey use di bootable flash drive to keep Tails OS wit all di communication driver lock. Di volume of dis OS dey safe wit strong password, dat mean say part of dis password go store fo hardware security key and enter di unlock field through di OTP interface, so di other part dey enter manually fo unlock volume. HW security key dey aim to protect di storage of my private ed25519 PGP key.

Di persistent volume keep KeePassXC database, lock wit di strong password wey include di part to dey keep HW key. Dis password no be di same from dat one wey dey safeguard di Tails persistent volume.

Di KeyPassXC database house dey encrypt GPG message wey dey relevant to my SEED phrase. Dis message dey encrypt if you use my PGP hardware key (smart card in term of Kleopatra), which go dey protect by di PIN code. Notably, na jus two times you dey permit to try incorrect PIN; if you try incorrect PIN three times e go result in di block of access to di PGP key.

Fo anyone wey get interest, I don provide ppg code to set up di hardware keys.

Code:

gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import <path to secret key file>

gpg --expert --edit-key <KeyID>

gpg> toggle

gpg> keytocard

( select Yes and then 1)

gpg> key 1

gpg>  keytocard

(select Yes and then 2)

gpg> key 1

gpg> key 2

gpg> keytocard


(select Yes and then 3)

gpg> quit

Select  No ( otherwise security key would be wiped out from system and thus, could not be used for setting HW key duplicate ).

Di public key wey match am, dey import am to Kleopatra key manager wit database fo inside di persistent Tails volume.

So, if you use Kleopatra and hardware key, you fit decrypt/encrypt SEED phrase and e dey safe to add encrypt message to KeePassXC database.

Fo real matter, I maintain three cloned Tails flash drive and three hardware key, and each dey serve as  backup fo di other.

I welcome any good advice about di point wey I no do well or any problem wey I no discover fo my system.


Di Picture wey dey down take show my Tails flash drive (in di form of debit card, iron frame)  and pgp HW key

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; Consolidating UTXOs in wallets.
Original Topic: Consolidating UTXOs in wallets
Author: satscraper

As time dey pass, d wallet wey person dey use go dey get plenty small small cryptocurrency money(UTXOs) wey dey come inside am from differents areas na dat bi d reason wey make am hard for person to manage. 4 dis point Wen e done turn like this now, e dey very important make dem put all dis small amounts together mak dem bcom bigger. I wan tell una one special power wey sparrow wallet use wey make d thing easier nd, 4 d same time, e dey maintain am, nd some times e dey protect d secrets of d person wey dey use am. Dem dey called the special power "fake conjoin".

Fake conjoin be wen you dey create transactions for inside sparrow wallet nd e go con look like say na two or group peoples do d transactions. Wen you wan put d small amounts together in Sparrow, u go choose the address wey u go send the money to, d money wey u go send make e no even reach the half of the total funds wey u get for wallets. Den u go press the "Privacy button" wey dey 4 d bottom right corner of d send window. Sparrow go do d job.

Sparrow go make two fake groups transactions itself. the small amount of cryptocurrency money wey dey, e go share ram into two sets, d thing go con be like say na two people they do d transaction.dis transaction e gets 5 different areas wey e dey send money to: d two wey get the same amounts (999,974 sats as you dey see am 4 d photo wey dey under), dem go send am directly to d address wey d user choose nd d fake address wey go dey hide who d user be(identity). Additionally, dey get two outputs wey serve as change 4 every party wey take part in the transaction, while d fifth output na the fee wey dem dey use to do the transaction.

 

d thing wey sweet about d "fake conjoin" UTXOs-consolidation-approach bi say e bi versatile; e dey work for differents wallet 4 every situations. Me self, I don  use dis special power B4   to consolidate all my holdings wey dey for passport 2 hardware wallet, na Sparrow I pair am with. D way sparrow dey work nd operate e con make am easier 4 mi, e con guide me through the steps with no wahala.

P.S. For above instance the testcoins were used.

Readings:
1. Spending Privately
2.Stonewall

UPD. People should not keep  questionable UTXOs with those ones that are not problematic in one wallet.

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; Electrum server fo Windows: Fulcrum
Original Topic: Electrum server on Windows: Fulcrum
Author: NeuroticFish

If you wan get Electrum server, one of di option be Fulcrum.

I don already get Electrum server (Electrs), which I use and for which I don make di complete tutorial before , but fo some point I don make test wit Fulcrum too and e go be a shame to remove am if I no provide tutorial fo di oda wey want am.

So... one big advantage of Fulcrum come on Windows: di user fit just get binaries gather togeda fo Bitcoin Core, Fulcrum and Electrum, configure and run dem all, witout di need to step into Windows Subsystem fo Linux (WSL). Anoda good thin naem be em performance: e dey process di important request fastly dan Electrs. Jus fo my experience (HDD, small time dem dey use am fo rather short work) Fulcrum gets di state I fit access am slower than Electrs.

But, tbh, I no like Fulcrum as much as di oda option wey I get (Electrs)
* Fulcrum is made by pesin wit BCH ties and e fit am much better fo BCH (to say the least)
* As I talk am, Fulcrum starts/syncs dey slow dan Electrs and e no dey OK fo my use case

Something more about dis tutorial. Dis is make for  Fulcrum as I use am: me, fo myself. No discussions with other servers, not announcing my server, also no SSL. I've kept it simple. If one wants to expand the tutorial with that, be my guest.

Since Electrum server dey work on top of Bitcoin Core node, I go handle Bitcoin Core first, but shortly.

Bitcoin Core dey almost di same as e dey fo my oda tutorial, but wit some little bit of change in config:
* already fo dat topic, later on, I don switch to use wit rpc user and di password instead of cookie. If you wan keep to dey use cookie, dat one dey fine too, just pay attention to di config files (fo both of dem)
* Bitcoin core's config go need one more line: zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:8433

So, I no go insist wit Bitcoin Core, na fo di other tutorial, I go jus put fo here my config:

Code: (bitcoin.conf)

txindex=1
server=1
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallow=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=UsErNaMe
rpcpassword=PaSsWoRd
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:8433

Fulcrum (https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum)

You go download Fulcrum from https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum/releases ; you go get somethin like Fulcrum-1.9.0-win64.zip
E fit be nice to verify yur download, di one wey done wit di correcpond *.asc file, like fo Electrum.

Unpack di zip to new folder, maybe FulcrumBinaries. We no go touch dat folder from now on.
Now we go create file call fulcrum.conf wit di content:

Code: (Fulcrum.conf)

datadir = x:\FulcrumData_MainNet
bitcoind = 127.0.0.1:8332
rpcuser = UsErNaMe
rpcpassword = PaSsWoRd
tcp = 127.0.0.1:50001
peering = false
announce = false
public_tcp_port = 50001
admin = 8000
stats = 8080
db_max_open_files = 80
fast-sync = 8000

Some detail:
* Di username and di password go get to match wit di one from Bitcoin
* x:\FulcrumData_MainNet na di folder wey you create, if possible somewhere fast (SSD), because na where Fulcrum go keep em data; my own get ~113 GB, but e fit dey safe to get some more space dere, especially fo start
* Dat fast-sync line go be commented (put a # in front of am) after di first sync finish
* Di server dey set wey e no go discuss wit other server, and e no go announce itself for other client and oda tins like dat; also no SSL

I don make group file fo di start and one fo di stop, but dis go stop work jus after di sync finish. Also e better you press di good old CRTL-C.
Di content of group file e no dey very useful as e dey, maybe fo example, because e contain di path to di exe and, as parameter, di path to di config.
Fo my side e be:

Code: (start.bat)

"x:\Fulcrum\FulcrumBinaries\Fulcrum.exe" x:\Fulcrum\Fulcrum.conf

Na so e take be fo di stop.

Code: (stop.bat)

"x:\Fulcrum\FulcrumBinaries\FulcrumAdmin" -p 8000 stop

After you start Fulcrum (start.bat) e go fit take plenty time until everything dey sync-ed. maybe you wan look fo line like:

Code:

[2023-02-27 21:42:48.964] Starting listener service for TcpSrv 127.0.0.1:50001 ...
[2023-02-27 21:42:48.965] Service started, listening for connections on 127.0.0.1:50001

or

Code:

[2023-02-27 22:03:32.758] <Controller> Block height 778553, up-to-date

Den you fit start Electrum. As I write am in di other tutorial I dey lazy and I use di portable Electrum. Fo me na di command line be:

Code:

electrum-4.3.4-portable.exe --oneserver --server 127.0.0.1:50001:t

Abeg anoda important tin dey here wey go help https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5441463.40

Original Topic: [Tutorial] Passport-Sparrow-multisig wallet.
Author: satscraper


For past months now I don dey see say plenty people wey dey for dis forum luv to dey talk about d topics wey relate to multisig wallets. I research well well 4 d forum whether I go see d ways wey I fits follow to create d wallets but I no find am, e surprise me well well oo. In that case, I con decide say make I fix d matter by contributing to d instructions wey dem suppose follow wen dem dey create a 2-of-2 multisig wallet and e need 2 people wey go agree with am: passport 2 HW and Sparrow software wallet.

B4 u start am, d things wey u suppose do: Passport 2/ Passport Foundation HW and installed Sparrow.


1) Open sparrow den click on d 'New wallet' option wey dey for 'File' menu. u go con put d name wey u go give d wallet for d window wey show next. D name wey I chose na 'Multisig wallet,' but u fit use any name wey you like:

Cc: 1Miau

Press "create wallet".

2)4 d next window u go con choose "Multi Signature" for policy Type (e dey for upper left corner) den u go use d upper-right slider to adjust d number of two people wey agree. For dis example, dem set d slider for 2/2 position.

Choose "keystore 1" den press on "New or imported soft wallet". (na dis step go instructs d sparrow client make e create d first cosigner, wic go be Sparrow itself)

3) 4 d next window, Make u use of d drop-down menu wey dey 4 d top at right corner 2 choose d number of secrets word wey you go dey use 2 bring back your wallet. 4 d example wey dey do for here na 12 words dem choose. Press 'Generate New' e go con giv u d set of words wey u go dey use 2 open ur wallet:

(no use d words wey u dey see for d photo wey dey for up. Na example dey use am do)

U go write those words down, check am again 2 make sure say u no make any mistake, nd den u go click on 'Confirm Backup...'." after u do dat "u go retype d words again"

4)4 d next window, d words wey u write down, u go com put those words in where dem suppose dey:

If you put d information again well well nd u press "Create Keystore"  na better Keystore e go open for u, u go con put am inside your multisig wallet if u press "Import Keystore" botton wey dey for d next window:

5) now you go continue to create a keystore for your passport 2 device. Press d 'Keystore 2' tab, nd den u go choose "Airgapped Hardware wallet".

 4 d next window, u go see a list of hardware wallets.

Look 4 'Passport Multisig' inside the list u go con press "Scan.." (d 1 wey i like na QR codes, from now on, na dis method I go use. However, if u like 2 pair am through SD card, u go jxt press 'Import File..').

6) Now time don reach wey we go carry on with Passport device.

You go ON am, u go com put d correct PIN (4 dis instructions, I no go use any password 4 the account, but u fit use am if u wish), nd u go con look for "Manage Account." 

Choose am (Manage Account) e dey 4 d right botton on d device

d next screen go con show u a list of options. Choose "Connect Wallet",  den find "Sparrow" on d screen nd press am using d right button wey dey 4 d device.  

4 d Passport screen wey don refresh, choose "Multisig" den 4 d nxt screen, press "QR Code." e go ask u to 2 scan d QR Code wey dey 4 d screen into Sparrow.

Just do am(by d way, na temporary QR code be, e fit change).


Wen d sparrow scan finish, all d information wey u put go show 4 d Passport tab:

 

Press "Apply" button wey dey 4 d tab.

7) Carry on 2 d next step wey dey 4 passport wallet. e go ask u to bring multisig inside settings from Sparrow through QR Code:

2 do dis, u go press d "Passport" tab wey dey 4 Sparrow, den u go con press d "Export" button. 4 d next window, press d "Show..." button wey dey next to the 'Passport Multisig' entry:

 

Scan d dynamic QR Code into Passport device. Wen e scan am finish, a message go show 4 d Passport screen, e go dey ask 4 ur permission say make u allow dem create another multisig wallet:

Check to know whether e don create.

Wen u don confirm am, passport go carry u to where u go verify am, make u see whether d wallet connect how he suppose connect.

2 do dis u go scan any address wey u receive from ur Multisig wallet.

8.) Any address wey u receive tap am twice nd show d QR code 2 d passport scanner. After e scan finish, dat address go show 4 d Passport screen. Approve am if e correct.

E don finish be dat! U do get ur own 2-of-2 multisig wallet. d instructions wey we use above u fit use am 4 differents cosigners and their numbers in an N-of-M multisig wallet.


Here's a brief guide on how u go send funds from a multisig wallet, na d wallet wey I create I go use 2 demonstrate am with d instructions wey dey above.

If u wan send moni, u go sign am with two private keys wey belong to different cosigners - sparrow and Passport. Wen u press 'Sign,' Sparrow go handle d process, A bar wey filled with blue go appear which mean say dey don do wat dey suppose do:

]

Next, press "sign" again (4 d second time). Sparrow go create a temporary QR Code 4 d multisig transaction. U go use d scanner of d passport device 2 scan d code. After u scan am finish, passport go show d signed QR code 4 d multisig transaction. U go con put d code back into Sparrow, by pressing "Scan QR" wey dey 4 transaction window (look d photo wey dey 4 top). After u scan am finish, na those things u suppose see.

 

Las Las, press d 'Broadcast Transaction' button make u finish d process.

Fo people wey get interest to use di mining proxy wey dey work wit di plenty mining pools wey get di nice GUI and na very stable -- I go suggest Antproxy, yes, no matter how much I take hate Bitmain, I see dere proxy to be di most stable free proxy fo out dere, and I don dey use am fo few years now and I no get issue wit am (e dey crash like once every few month fo reason wey i never confirm yet, but I write d script to "fix" am and I don include am for down)

na like dis GUI look.

After di years wey I use am, I con discover say e no get one major function and naem be "logs", if somethin happen you jus get noway to know wetin em be or when e happen, also as mention fo up in di rare event of di proxy freezing or throwing some error which usually na network wey no dey work, di script go reboot di PC bcos dat be like di most easy fix for di freezing issue since closing/reopning di proxy may not fix all di issues.



Di above script go do di following:

1-log di proxy info to C:\Users\Public\Documents\log_file.txt >> you fit change di txtfile or remove di whole function if you want.
2-Get di current hashrate report by di proxy fo every 60 seconds, display and log di results -- restart di PC if di hashrate na below x (x is 3PH in di code, you fit change am to whatever yur hashrate dey)
3-Ping google fo every 10 seconds, display and log di results


The log file my script make go be like dis





You no need to ping am fo every 10 second, but I like am dis way, I fit come back anytym and see if my internet have drop fo any moment or ping time increases.

You need to make di batch file (a txtfile change to .bat) hosted fo yur startup folder which dey run di script wit di command like

Code:

echo off
TIMEOUT /T 600
python C:\Users\M\Desktop\pyton\testscript.py
pause

You go also need to put di shortcut to di proxy executable fo di startup folder so dat e go run when your PC boots.


Di pool I test and remember to work:

Viabtc
Kano.is
Antpool
Binance
