Na ten years ago dem create d foundation of bitcoin today wen dem create d genesis block, den after dat wen e take like one week dey con officially realise Bitcoin version 0.1. nd dey complete d version 0.1 successfully, e dey very impressive, nd d bugs wey e get no plenty well well. Dey plan am well 4 d future, e go fit work with newtin wey be Softforks e go com bi as if na OP_NOPn opcodes. B4 anyone go know how decentralized cryptocurrency go even work, satoshi dey find way how e go add some bitcoin tins like smart contracts and payment channels. Dis is superb, many people con dey look at d amazing tin wey satoshi don do 4 Bitcoin nd dem con dey talk d tin wey dem talk b say "e be like say na crypto super-genius satoshi be, d next Einstein." I dey think say dis, is very much missing d point.

Wen satoshi dey work on Bitcoin 4 2007-2009, most of d Bitcoin idea dey know dem 4 d cryptography community. In 1996, dey com published d summary 4 former academic work 4 electronic cash, Dem dey talk well well about how bitcoin security dey work, nd dey use d word wey people know well well e bi "double spending". People know Hashcash proof-of-work well well, nd I still remember wen I read about it prior to bitcoin, d reason why e dey na 2 prevents d people wey dey do 419 with email.  Na d same unbreakable chain of hashes as Bitcoin's block chain git dey also use, na 4 2005 and dey released am. Satoshi com make one big leap: wey join everytin together, e join all d pieces together 2 prevent double spending through a PoW block chain. E dey very impressive, but d same flash of brilliance fit happens to anybody wey follow dis stuff.

Satoshi no be awesome because he don dey watch the crypto world and e come get brilliant idea. E dey awesome because say  upon wey him this idea, he carry am out. You know wetin I go done do if to say this idea come to me before? I go don take am to small people, maybe I for don write some basic code if I dey feel especially ambitious. You no wetin Satoshi did? He carry am 2+ years dey think any possible aspect of the system wey he could think of, and wrote code that worked brilliantly in the real world. Satoshi's code dey very good, but anyone who don read a good C++ book go don write similar-good code. Anyone wey don take an intro crypto course or read a few books on the subject go fill understand Satoshi's usage of crypto primitives. The task wey we go use create Bitcoin go require a small flash of brilliance, moderate skill, and an unbelievably big amount of dedication to think about am, coding, and testing the system until end dey work exactly as envisioned.

Satoshi's lesson be say you don't need to be next Einstein before you go come change the world. Nor you need to have plenty money, or influence with the world's "movers & shakers". You just need to put small effort. Satoshi, E be like say he just be ordinary hobbyist like anyone here, e come see say something means in the Universe, and he fight him tooth-and-nail for 2+ years until e correct that things wey need to be correct. This na what makes Satoshi and his work come be my greatest inspiration.

Bitcoin don come for 4 a long way in 10 years, but e still get more room wey e go grow, together with major challenges and major opportunities for front. How Bitcoin take moves forward - how Satoshi's work dey continues - na as many people dey take am possible to take personal responsbility to dey improve the Bitcoin ecosystem, creating things wey go, and to dey change the world for better. Since wey e don tey wey we pass the moon, I hope say you go join me make we dey aim for stars.

 Sometimes we get caught up in calling Satoshi a “crypto genius” like he’s some untouchable figure, but the real takeaway is how much patience, dedication, and plain hard work went into making Bitcoin a reality. It wasn’t just a sudden flash of brilliance  it was years of thinking, testing, and refining.
And you’re right a lot of the concepts were already out there in the cryptography community. What made Satoshi stand out was actually doing it and sticking with it until it worked. That kind of commitment is honestly inspiring for anyone trying to create or build something new.
Bitcoin’s journey is far from over, and I love the idea that its future depends on all of us stepping up and contributing. Makes me want to dive deeper and do my part in this movement

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; How U Go Fit Do Bitcoin Transaction And Pay No Reach 1 Sat/vByte
Original Topic: How to make a bitcoin transaction and pay less than 1 sat/vByte
Author:    Pmalek


People wey know  Bitcoin and dem don see di mempool.space no go dey surprised to see say many blocks get transactions wey users dey pay nd e noreach 1 sat/vByte in fees. Na now e dey  possible to pay low well well fee of  0.10 sat/vByte, for a long time, di bottom line been dey 1 sat/vByte.

People wey get their own nodes and use Bitcoin Core go easily adjust a few settings to enable their software to support and relay transactions to other peers for low fees. However, ordinary users e no get their own nodes, so they need another way out. There are two popular wallets wey support sub 1 sat/vByte transactions na Trezor Suite and Electrum. Sparrow Wallet and Blue Wallet wey don announced their support for future releases.

How u go send bitcoin and di transaction fee no go reach 1 sat/vByte with Trezor Suite?

People wey own Trezor hardware wallets e go fit create and sign transactions wey go fit pay and e no reach 1 sat/vByte for fees wey dey use Trezor Suite. There are two ways wey we fit do that. I go describe di one dat worked for me, but dis link e get another way wey u go fit try am if you want. Abeg make u know say dis way e no work for me.

1.   Create a transaction di normal way. Enter di address u dey send di bitcoin to, di amount u dey send, and di fee u want to pay (eg, 0.3 sat/vByte).
2.   Above di field where u entered di destination address, u go see di option "Broadcast". Click am and change am to "Broadcast: off."
3.   U go notice say u no fit click on the "Sign" button yet.
4.   Click di three dots in the upper right side of Trezor Suite and click on "Send raw".
5.   New window go pop up.
6.   When im opens, close am again without entering anything.
7.   When u close di window, im go dey possible to click on di "Sign" button to sign ur transaction. U fit open and close di window two or three times to make di "Sign" button clickable.
8.   Sign di transaction by clicking "Sign."
9.   After signing di transaction, a "Copy raw transaction" button go appear.
10.   Click on "Copy raw transaction."
11.   Paste di signed and still non-broadcast transaction dat u copied on https://mempool.space/tx/push into di "Broadcast Transaction" field.
12.   Click di "Broadcast Transaction" button.
13.   Di transaction ID of di broadcasted transaction u sent go appear on screen. U fit use dis ID to track di status of ur transaction.

How u go send bitcoin and di transaction fee e no go reach 1 sat/vByte with Electrum?

Electrum wallet fit send bitcoin transactions with fees lower than 1 sat/vByte if u dey connected to a node dat supports di transactions, and after entering one line of code in di Electrum console. Below na di instructions on how to do am.

1.   Open Electrum and di wallet 4rom which u want to send a sub 1 sat/vByte transaction.
2.   Click on di orb in di lower right corner of di app to change network settings.
3.   If u never changed di method of connecting to Electrum servers before, Electrum go randomly select one and connect to am. U need to change dat by clicking on di "Connection mode" field and choosing "Manual server selection."
4.   After dat, click on "Close."
5.   Click again on di orb in di lower right side to adjust network settings.
6.   In di "Server" field, copy/paste di following server: electrum.labrie.ca and click "Close." Electrum go then connect to dis server. U fit connect to LoyceV Electrum server too, electrum.loyce.club if u like.
7.   If di "Console" tab e no dey visible in ur Electrum app, u can activate am by clicking "View > Console" in di upper left side of di software.
8.   After u don connect to di appropriate server, click on di "Console" tab and copy/paste di following command: wallet.relayfee = (lambda: 0) and click ENTER. u can enter dis command every time u want to send a transaction with fees lower dan 1 sat/vByte until dis becomes di standard and is merged into di official Electrum release. TryNinja made im own plugin dat includes dis command when u start Electrum. U fit install am if u want, use di instructions in this post.
9.   When u don finish am, u go create ur own transaction in Electrum and send am. With Electrum, u hve di option to copy a raw transaction and broadcast am via  mempool.space page as I explained in step #11 above. To do dis, u first need to sign di transaction in Electrum and then click di buttons "Preview > Share > Copy to clipboard." Paste di copied string on di page https://mempool.space/tx/push.

How u go send bitcoin and di transaction fee e no go reach 1 sat/vByte with Sparrow Wallet?

The 2.2.4 pre-release beta version of Sparrow Wallet supports sending transactions dat pay less than 1 sat/vByte in fees. However, di user must configure di minrelaytxfee option in their server settings to support lower-fee transactions or be connected to a node dat get dis setting adjusted.

1.   Download the 2.2.4 beta version of Sparrow Wallet from https://github.com/craigraw/beta/releases/tag/2.2.4-support-minrelaytxfee.
2.   Connect to a server dat e don changed di minrelaytxfee setting or make di changes urself in your bitcoin.conf file. Fee settings can also be changed by "editing di Sparrow config file in Sparrow home and changing di value of minRelayFeeRate to a value >= 0.0 and < 1.0."

If di server u dey connected to e no dey configured correctly, u go get a broadcast error.

I intend to expand dis thread and add to di list di procedure for sending sub 1 sat/vByte transactions with Sparrow and Blue wallets in di future if needed. I go only do dat if im get a non-standard way of sending transactions.

 PrivateTalk - Encrypted & Self-Destructing Messages 
   [[100% Privacy | Encrypted | No database | No tracking | Open-Source]]
                                          [ Official Website ] | [ Official GitHub ]


I dey very glad to inform una about Private Talk, e bi open source project wey dey make for people 2 dey use am send message secretly between d person wey send am nd d person wey go receive am, and e go delete d message after dey read am, u no need to register am oooo, nd e still dey secure becos e dey secrets well well.

After, I don observe plenty projects wey dey create for people 2 dey snd message and d e go fit delete d message after dey read am, I con see say those people no dey bother about privacy. I con say, okay make I develop this project.

D community wey create dis Private Talk dey value anonymity, protection and make am easy for people. As I dey talk to you now, e dey available nd na free of charge 2 everybody. Secret massages wey dem encrypt 4 browser  and e go delete himself after dey read am, u no need to register am, e no dey use cookies, e no dey hide logs, e no dey track IP, e no get any place where e go dey store data.

 Wettin b d meaning of PrivateTalk? 

• PrivateTalk na tool or device wey dem dey use to snd secret messages wey encrypt himself for browser.
• D message go delete himself after dey read am, or after d time wey d person wey dey use am set.
• U no need to register am ooo, e no dey store your personal information, nd e no dey use cookies.
• D code na open-source nd anybody fit go through am.

 Features 

• Dem go encrypt ur messages for browser like secret code (AES-GCM)
• E get single or split link 4 maximum privacy.
• U get choice and chance, if you wan add another password 4 more security or protection, u re free to do am.
• U fit set a time when d messages go expire or delete, and also d specific time when the message go appear. (“scheduled message”)
• E get public logs wey go show when d messages destroy/expire (mathematical proof).
• E get local dashboard where u go fit manage your messages (so u need 2 send anytin to server)

 New in v2.0.0 — Identity (ECC) 
As I dey talk to u now, PrivateTalk get identity (ECC) module, wey dey keep massages safe, using asymmetric encryption (P-256).
U fit generate public key (PTPUB1) wey u go share nd a private key (PTPRIV1) 2 dey keep secret. Na only u go fit read the messages wey dey sent 4 u, for ur public key - nd d messages are deleted and destroyed after you read am.


 Wettin b d tins wey PrivateTalk dey do differently? 

e dey 100% secure 4 keeping secrets:	e dey encrypt messages for browser like secret code through AES-GCM, dem no dey send any messages or key 2 d server in clear text. Even d administrator no fit access d content, even if e get full access 2 d server. Privnote: no dey encrypt 4 browser; d text goes to d server in clear text (dem talk say "nobody dey read am" so, d only tin now na to trust d operator). One-Time Secret: dey do encryption, but sometimes, d key dey dey for d server nd d security depend on how dem dey implement am. BurnNote/QuickForget: generally e no dey do client-side encryption; e bi like say na "delete after read" approach dem dey make use of.
Self-destruction and public logs:	After dey don read am finish, d message go delete automatically and e no go fit reverse again. D system dey generate special SHA-256 hash 4 each message, wey dey publish logs wey go dey show say dem don destroy or delete/ expire -- anybody fit check am nd dey go know say d file don delete, but no one fit bring am back. Others: Most of dem no dey show public logs or proof to show say something delete. So, u no go fit know wettin dem delete for there.
Advanced sharing:	E get d power 2 divide d secure link into two parts so dat e go get big privacy -- u fit share d link nd key for different channels, e dey increase privacy wen u dey use multiple channels. Others: Dey go provide only link, dem no dey suggest whether dey should separate d shard/key.
Time-lock and custom expiration:	E go allow you to set timer on a specific dates/times wen you go dey read the message (e.g only after 8pm and until 10pm), on top of dat of traditional automatic expiration. Privnote/One-Time Secret: upon all, d only tin wey e dey support na d expiration after dey don read am finish or after d time wey dem fixed don reach.
Database no dey, tracking no dey, cookies no dey:	Everything works with just flat files on the server. Dey no dey track, dey no dey do analysis, zero external scripts. Dey no even get d tools wey dem dey use 4 analysis. Privnote: E dey use databases, e fit log accesses, normally e dey get cookies nd e dey also get analytics scripts. Others: dey get ads wey u go fit use to track user's browsing.
Private Dashboard:	dey allow d user to dey monitor d status of their messages, wen dem dey (read, active, expired) locally nd manually, nd dey no need to send sensitive information 2 d third party (dey no need 2 bring another person into the picture). E dey completely private, without any automatic communication 2 d server. Others: no dey allow d user 2 manage d state of d messages -- na only server dey control am.
Simple and auditable code:	all is focus na on transparency, easy auditing, nd how dem go dey increase d security 4 end users. Na Open-Source e bi, nd u go fit follow am easily, e no get any obscure dependencies. Others: dey no bi open source, nd dey no have code dat dey very complex/ difficult to audit.
No registrations, emails, SMS or Telegram:	E no dey collect email, phone or other user's information, so dey no get dat kind of notifications -- e dey maintain more privacy nd less tracking. Others: users go do registration, dem go put their email, put their phone number or other information where dem go receive notifications, Wey go make dem link am with other tins.

 FAQ 
How e dey take work?
   U go to the type d message, d browser go generate d link wey u go use 4 encryption, nd na only d people wey get the link/key go fit read am. Wen dey read am finished or e expired nd deleted, nobody go fit bring back the message.
Does the server see the messages?
   No. D text no dey leave ur in a readable format. How does d Dashboard dey take work?
   After u don create d message finish, you fit save am 4 ur computer with d link nd a tag(link,tag) - one line 4 each line. 4 d Dashboard, u fit load d file 4 d browser nd e go analyzes d logs 2 check d status of d message. Na 4 browser u go check am, dey no dey ever send any files 2 d server.

 If u get any feedback, suggestions, or questions, space dey for u, so feel free to talk nd you are free to ask! 
Test am nd leave ur comment or contribute/ share d ideas/bugs wey u get here in d topic (or 4 GitHub). If you like d project nd and u wan support (or buy beer 4 me), i dey accept donations: bc1q9f2dhfdrzruyecfwea3n6nt2nuaj6htzgke5q2

SeedClicker - Writing seed phrases without keyboard

As I dey carryout some test, nd I con dey think about am say to recover ur wallet u go type in ur seed phrase, wey dem dey normally do manually 4 keyboard, nd e fits cause plenty risks:

• Keyloggers go fit capture ur keystrokes nd dem go fit know d tins wey u type nd dem go corrupt ur wallet
• Screenloggers go fit record d screen as dem dey type d seed.
• Human mistake, where d person wey dey use am fit make mistakes nd go type a wrong word.
• In addition to time and practicality.

I get dat one for my mind ooo, I decide say make I venture into building my first python script, I con name am Seed Clicker. D reason why dey make am na to clear d risks nd 2 allow d user make dem select their seed if dey just press am, dey no need to type any letter 4 d keyboard.

Dis script go fit improve d security nd privacy of seed recovery 4 plenty ways:

• E get d list of all BIP39 words nd organised am well well, by d first nd second letter.
• allow d user make dem select their seed if dey just press am, dey no need to type any letter 4 d keyboard.
• e dey mix d words so dey no go follow d pattern or way wey people go fit predict.
• e get button where u fit hide d seed, to protect am from screenloggers.
• Automatically write to the wallet, if u don write d phrase finish, d script go inserts d seed into d wallet automatically.
• e go delete everything after dey use am, nd e no go store any word.

I found this script very useful bcos e fit help protect against keyloggers since dey no dey type d keys manually. Since dem dey hide the seed during dis process, e go protect against screenloggers. E dey practical nd fast, e dey take only less than one minute to choose all d seeds, with d help of d filter wey go allow u to find words fast fast. Zero log storage, e no go save any files or caches. Furthermore, na open source e b, nd e dey totally transparent, e no get any backdoor or functions wey dem dey hide.

How e dey take work?
1. Put am 4 same folder for d script, a file "words.txt" wit all d word wey dey 4 d BIP39 or others wey u want.
2. Run d script 4 d Python.
3. D user go selects d first letter of d word: d script go only shows d words wey start with d letter. U fit apply a second filter by d second letter to make searching easier.

Original Topic: Guide: Best practices for using images on the forum/web
Author: joker_josue

Guide: Di best way you fit use images for di forum/web
Powered by TalkImg

^{Translations: Hrvatski (Croatian)}

After over year of TalkImg, image hosting service dedicate for di forum, and don answer plenty questions wey relate to di use of image, I decide to create di guide for best practices to use images in di forum and for di web in general. Dis guide na di best to use image for Bitcointalk, but dis practices dey also useful to use for other web sites.


 File Size  .:
For any website, not just Bitcointalk, e dey important to consider di size of di image file use. Dis important so dat visitors go fit enjoy di best browsing experience. Although many don already get fast internet connections, dis not always enough for di website to load fastly, e need to get gud optimization to take di ensure speed. Dis optimization mostly involves images, and possibly other resources wey di website fit get.

Di size of di file go affect how fast di image go load, if e dey large (for bytes; kB; MB) e go take long time to load. Di file size go depend for di image's dimensions, resolution and file type. Typically, e dey recommend that di image use for di web be no more dan 1 MB for better performance. Na true wey forum allow images up to 2.5MB, but remember say large images dey take time to load.

For example, di TalkImg logo if e no optimize go take up 220kB more, if e dey optimize e go take up less dan 70kB.

Many people go tink dat dis fit make you lose di quality, but if u do am well, di quality no go lost. Follow di guide and learn how to do am.


 File Type  .:
To get good image optimization, u need to choose di correct file type. For di web, e no dey recommend to use images for BMP or TIF, because dey be type of file with low optimization. Di most recommend na JPG, PNG and GIF. For some websites e dey possible to use WEBP files, whc get excellent levels of optimization. Only JPG, PNG and GIF dey acceptable for Bitcointalk forum.

Whc file type to choose? E depends for di objective of di image.
Di JPG type na ideal for photos and images without clear backgrounds.
Di PNG type na ideal for graphics, images wey get text, or images wey require clear backgrounds.
Di GIF type na for animated images, but dey should never hav large resolution, not with even long animations.

Example: di photos of di pizzas for pizza contest must be in JPG. Di contest presentation banner must be in PNG.


 Image Size  .:
Another point wey u go consider to obtain images optimized for di web na dere size (pixels). For most cases, large or high-resolution images no dey necessary, especially for do forum. Unless di image na for printing or for analyze details, dere is no need for di image to dey very large.

Di image measure 1920x1280px already more dan enough size for most use cases for di web. But, you fit likely get gud results for images less dan half dis size. For di forum, images between 600px and 1200px for di bigger side) usually dey enough.

Na di hint be dis: always use a equal resolution. For other words, if di original image na 1920x1280 and you wan to reduce am to 600, di result should be 600x400px. If you get anoda measurement, e go spoil di image, which fit not look very nice.


 How to Optimize?  .:
Dey get many programs wey fit be use wey go help with di optimization process. Even some smartphones don include some functions wey go help for dis field. Of course, we get di popular Photoshop wey go allow u to make dis adjustment to images to make dem more improve. But dey get other free program wey go allow u to perform dis task.

Maybe one of di best-known free image edit programs na GIMP. E dey work for Linux, Windows and Mac. Many dey consider em open source Photoshop competitor.
For people wey no want to install any programs, dey fit use di website edit.photo. E dey free, e no need any account, no cookies, ads or tracking.


 Practical Example  .:
I go give di example for di high resolution image and how you fit improve am with edit.photo.

Example image: https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-shot-of-a-bitcoin-6765369/
Original size: 5311x3541px
File Size: 3.56MB
File Type: JPG

1. Choose di image:


2. Choose "Resize" option:


3. for di down center, find di "Height" and "Width" field, with di padlock. Close di padlock (to ensure say everything dey equal) and choose di desire size.


4. for di top right corner, you go find di export option. Choose JPG, set di quality to 80% and download am.


5. Use TalkImg, or anoda image host site, to upload di export image to get di BBCode code to post for di forum.

Result:
Optimized size: 800x533 px
File size: 90kB
File Type: JPG


Look at di original image and look at di edit image, and u go see say em quality no get big loss, but we try to make di image to work well for di forum/web. Try repeat di exercise and u go see how e dey easy.


 Conclusion  .:
As u fit see, have di image optimized for forum use e no dey very hard, e dey possible for just small click. U fit use dis way for any image edit program, no matter how simple e fit be. If you make gud use of image, you go fit improve di forum experience for everybody.


I hope say dis guide dey useful for everybody and I go dey available for any questions. If u need more guide for dis topic, feel free to ask, I go check wetin I fit do.

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure
Original Topic: LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure
Author: LoyceV


I'm currently installing my very first Electrum server, and figured I'd start a topic to keep track of my progress.

Medusah's post 4 weeks ago dem point out say plenty people wey dey use Bitcoin don lower their minimum transaction fee from 1 to 0.1 sat/vbyte. But unfortunately, Electrum no dey allow d users set fee smaller than wettin d connected Electrum server's minimum, wic make am difficult nd confusing 2 use d smaller fees.
My goal na to create d first Electrum servers wey go dey allow dis. I fit or I may no fit run am 4 long-term, bcos by d time wey other people join 4 d cheaper fees I fit stop am bcos e dey take plenty plenty disk space.
Make u know say some miners still like empty blocks pass lower fees. Use mempool.space to see how dem dey add ur transaction. If him take too long to confirm: u go just change am 2 an Electrum server wey no dey accept low-fee transactions, nd go create a new transaction wey get higher fee.

The VPS wey I dey use now get 32 GB RAM, nd e get enough NVMe storage 4 everything except for Bitcoin Core's blocks directory. Dat directory dey 4 much slower network storage. I suppose see how e dey take work 4 dis hardware.
I con find out say dey get plenty different ways wey Electrum server can be built.  ABCbits's post made me choose Fulcrum.

Progress so far (summarized):

• Create user "electrum"
• Start and sync Bitcoin Core:

Code:

bitcoind -maxuploadtarget=400000 -dbcache=16384 -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pass -rpcport=number -minrelaytxfee=0.000001 --incrementalrelayfee=0.000001

• Start Fulcrum:

Code:

~/Fulcrum-1.12.0-x86_64-linux/Fulcrum --datadir /path/datadir --bitcoind 127.0.0.1:number --rpcuser=user --rpcpassword=pass

• Current status:

Code:

    PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

• Syncing got slower and slower, so I followed Cricktor's post and added caching:

Code:

config.conf

utxo_cache = 8192

• After u don build it's database, edit Fulcrum's quickconfig.conf with hostname and IP-address for Electrum to connect to.
  Use instructions from https://github.com/christroutner/docker-fulcrum to create a SSL certificate
• ~/Fulcrum-1.12.0-x86_64-linux/Fulcrum quickconfig.conf
  Server is running: electrum.loyce.club:50002
  Minimum relay fee reduced to 0.1 sat/vbyte by restarting Bitcoin Core with adjusted options (see above).

How u go fit use am
Electrum settings
Connect Electrum 2 a server wey dey allows lower fees, like electrum.loyce.club:50002

"Teach" your Electrum to sign transactions with less that 1 sat/vbyte:

Code:

wallet.relayfee = (lambda: 0)

Or automate it on startup:

I only wrote d smallest Electrum plugin ever dat jxt runs dis command at start.
https://files.ninjastic.space/relayfeezero-0.0.1.zip
Tools -> Plugins -> Add -> Select the zip and install.

Make u know say: dis go allow u 2 create transactions wey dey pay less than 0.1 sat/vbyte fee, but at the moment no mining pool go accept those.

Dey go control am to prevent 419.
And u fit talk anything wey u can.

Original Topic: How to Create and use a Sparrow Border Wallet
Author: Pmalek

If you want more information for border wallets I go suggest make you read Are border wallets di modification of brain wallet?

I never see other posts wey mention sey Sparrow get di feature wey dey allow people to create border wallets. I no be di supporter of dis type of wallet, but na still di hot wallet option you fit use if u dey travel and/or if I dey cross borders. I no see reason why u go use dis one as ur everyday wallet.

How to Create a Border Wallet for Sparrow
1. Open di Sparrow and click "New Wallet."
2. Name am and click di "Create Wallet" button.
3. Under "Keystores" click "New or Import Software Wallet."
4. Click di dropdown menu next to "Mnemonic Words (BIP39)" to select "Border Wallets Grid."
5. For di Border Wallets Grid window click di "Generate Grid" button for di bottom left.
6. For di new window wey pops up click "Generate New."
7. Di software go generate 12 words. You fit but you don't need to back am up. Di word inform di software about di order for which to put all possible seed words (2048) into di Border Wallets Grid.
8. Click "OK" and save di copy of di grid for ur computer.
9. Draw di image pattern for di grid by clicking di 11 or 23 boxes in di order wey u fit remember (for example image wey I post for down). You go need to remember whr you start and do pattern which u create.
10. Click "OK."
11. Di words u select for di first grid go automatic select and you need to enter di last word (12th or 24th) manually. You need to remember dis last word and/or write am down somewhere/back am up.
12. When u don finish, click "Create Keystore."
13. Click "Import Keystore."
14. Click "Apply" and enter di wallet password if you want.

now u don create di new Bitcoin Border Wallet for Sparrow.
Keep copies of your Border Wallet Grid wey Sparrow create because you go need am in case of wallet recovery. Di grid emself no fit be use to steal ur coins without knowledge of di correct image pattern. You fit save di file digitally anyway you want am because e no get sensitive information inside am.

How to Recover di Border Wallet for  Sparrow
1. Open di Sparrow to click "New Wallet."

ORIGINAL TOPIC: Bitcointalk.org collectible coin ideas & vote
AUTHOR: Welsh

As per the coming 10th anniversary wey forum wan do, and plenty speculation dey whether anything special dey wey dey don plan, and if anything go come onboard concerning the production of collectible coins idea, make we assume say dey never do am we go take the philosophy wey OgNasty's quote here:

I don think am many times for the  community coin designed by the community, for the community.

Make we allow everybody bring idea, and voting if to say we carry the Bitcointalk collectible coin proposal kon reality. I kon hope say by the end we go appreciate everybody wey Theymos go give the coin as say na everybody put body for the hustle.


Na watin I think be this, make everybody try bring their own suggestions make e for make sense

Candidates to manufacture the coins
Make we assume say they go dey ready to manufacture the coin.
Casascius
casascius na the man wey start am, him dey popular, people respect am well and na the first person wey create Bitcoin collectibles coin wey we know as casascius. Him don dey forum since 2010, and him don add to the forum with better thing apart from him collectible coins. Plus, in my opinion it would be fitting to have one of the more prolific coin manufactures create the Bitcointalk 10th anniversary coin. However, casascius doesn't seem to be that active in the last few years he definitely still remains one of the most recognized within the Bitcoin collectible world.

According to BPIP stats Casascius na the 182nd most trusted user for the forum.

smoothie
smoothie we know am for their LEALANA coins. Him work with Monero coins recently, and him don show decent production value. Him don dey part of the forum since 2011, make we no argue am him na one of the most trusted users for the forum collectible scene, and him don show say him dey productive for the forum over manh years. Make we no loud am, maks we allow Smoothie produce the coins. Is like Smoothie still dey active for the forum and na good thing.

According to BPIP stats smoothie na the 26th most trusted user for the forum matter.

Kialara
Kialara being one of the newer users considering they registered on the forum in 2014. However, I think its fair to say that their production, and design of coins is nothing to scoff at. Probably providing the most elegant designs on this list, and also say him be part of the community for many years. E be like say Kiara still dey active, participating for the forum.

According to BPIP stats Kialara na the 75th most trusted user on the forum matter.

External manufacturer wey no dey part of the forum
We fit also search for other manufacturers wey no dey part of the forum, e fit end up removing the coin magic. I like the quote wey OgNasty wey him make the community coin, and honouring him work, e go make sense make we get manufacturers wey dey part of the forum

*I think say e go make sense if we give the manufacturer of the coin one as thank you, for creating joining the process.


The design process

To decide the kind design wey go make sense fit be in my own opinion make we keep to the theme of the community coin wey we go create. I go suggest make we do competition for people for the forum on separate thread. They go submit their design for the coin, and the reward go be say dey go get one for designing the coin. This one go just be like say na incentive.
 
We fit determine the result through Theymos, community vote, or only the people wey go receive the coins.

How many coins should be made and should they be funded?

As per watin Theymos think, him say make we create like 50 to 300 collectible coins. My suggestion be say make we create separate groups, and we fit dey reward them due to different reasons if the budget allow am. We fit also include coin wey dey fund and coin wey dey no fund. Like example, the first 10 coins fit go to people wey dey vital to the development, and people wey don survive for the forum wey don contribute plenty and wey deserve make we remember them. We fit fund the first 10 coins with big or small money. We fit distribute the remaining coins without funding them, and people wey don do remarkable things for the forum matter, wey also contribute well for the forum.

The issue wey dey with funding coins be say license fit dey required depending on legislation and country wey the person wey dey fund them the live. I believe say Casascius enter problem with FINCEN because they think say e go dey bring money


Certificate and presentation?
I believe say certificate wey they present as physical Bitcoinatlk coin fit give am personal touch. The certificate fit show who they give am to, and also thanking them for there efforts. They fit customize the certificate, instead make we customize the coin for each user, that one fit reduce the cost later, so as we dey receive the Bitcoinatlk collectible coin.

If we present am for box with the Bitcointalk identification on top or maybe logo of the collectible coin on the box fit b the  final touch.  


Distribution

Costs
Theymos bin talk we give people the coin at the same time e fit require people to pay small money to get the coin. Make we no forget say manufacturing the coin fit possible but if we say make we customize am e fit cost a lot of money for us before we know. The idea say make people pay for there coins make sense, I also believe say many people go wan pay the money for the coin and watin go happen to the coin wey they one give one person and the person no want am? Distribution of the coin fit become problem.


Delivery and logistics
As we dey expend the point wey dey do for d section of this thread; The fact be say users no go wan drop their delivery address, they fit no get access to PO box and e fit be problem if they no respond. Okay, the best option be say make we send message to those wey go receive the coin, and if they no respond after some time then we go give the coin to another person. If we go create public awareness of the people wey go receive the coin, and maybe we go add personalized certificates to each person coin and they go need to confirm say they need am before we go do am.


Who gets the coins?
We know say the coin go get limited supply and e make me to ask who go receive am, and which criteria they go fill?
Make we just talk say na theymos go determine the criteria

Here na the example for the criteria:

- Active user (make e no be like say dey no claim the coin)
- Iconic users of the forum (Users wey get better history for the community)
- The people wey contribute well for the forum (major development, major security bounties, an people wey be long serving staff members)
- We go use formula wey b BPIP's MAT (Most merited, activity, and most trusted)
- We go use custom formula wey be like BPIP's

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; Why Bitcoin 30 no go probably lead to more spam for blockchain (ELI5)
Original Topic: Why Bitcoin 30 will probably not lead to more spam in the blockchain (ELI5)
Author: d5000


Be like say dem get plenti confusion Ontop the upcoming bitcoin version 30.

Many people dey fear say one of the changes of dis version, wey dem dey call “lifting of OP_RETURN size limits”, go lead to plenti amount of NFTs, images and even illegal material dem being “spammed” for the blockchain.

These fears mostly dey unproven. Nah only one effect fit happen and I go talk about am for the end of this post, but e no get technical reason, but more are caused by the cryptocurrency market social and economic movement.


Wetin be OP_RETURN?

Since the genesis block wey Satoshi store for 2009, people dey  use the Bitcoin blockchain to publish random data of non-financial nature, like small images, texts, poems and so on.

About 10 years ago, the Bitcoin Core developers com create a specific system wey dem fit publish data in a way dat dem go  cause the smallest  possible harm to the nodes. This system dey rely  on the opcode (Bitcoin Script command) OP_RETURN.

OP_RETURN dey mean nothing more dat everything after dis command fit be ignored by the nodes. The data is placed behind dat command. And if dey want, the nodes fit process am once and then delete am.[1]

OP_RETURN dey necessary because people dey publish images, texts and other media hiding  it as financial data. You go see a transaction and think say nah money transfer, but the data actually contain an image. And for several reasons dis  is actually more harmful and costly for nodes more than OP_RETURN, because dey no fit  ignore the data.

Wetin be the change wey everybody dey talk about?

Previous to  Bitcoin 30, Bitcoin Core get  default value of 80 bytes for OP_RETURN outputs.

Dis mean say: Nodes which dey use dis default value, no go accept a transaction wey get data behind of an OP_RETURN command with more than 80 bytes.

However, nodes dey  always free to change dis default value. Miners sef dey free to change dat value too. E fit be seen as a "recommendation". Transactions wey dey obey dis limit  are called "standard" transactions.

But the 80 bytes limit only applied to data behind OP_RETURN. No be  for other techniques to put data for inside the  blockchain.

In Bitcoin 30, the default value dey set to "unlimited".

Dis wan no mean say the data of unlimited size is now "allowed by Bitcoin" and before it was not. Instead e mean say: If you as a node operator want to limit the OP_RETURN data in transactions wey your  node dey accept, you must manually set a limit (using the datacarriersize option).


Why dis  change?

The OP_RETURN limit increase dey valid for the following way by its supporters:

Since 2023, we never see wave of transactions using other ways to put data in the blockchain, including "fake public keys" and a "Taproot witness method" (also called the "Taproot exploit") wey Ordinals dey use. Dem don put up to 400 kB of images, NFTs and even audios and videos in a "standard" transaction, and up to 4 MB into a "non-standard" transaction.

These methods dey more costly for the nodes to process, and therefore dem fit  harm decentralization of the Bitcoin network if dey become too widespread. [2]

Developers com decide  therefore to try to encourage those dat want to store data on chain, to use the OP_RETURN method. If plenti  nodes dey accept OP_RETURN transactions with larger sizes, dis fit become again therefore the "standard method" to store data.

There get other advantages of the change but dem dey more difficult to understand. For example, block propagation fit dey improved and maintainance cost of the code fit dey lower. To understand why the change no go probably affect the level of spam, these reasons no dey  important.


Why we no go simply stop the spam and filter all data transactions?

This wan nah the most important part to understand.

The Core developers "could" put a "filter" in place make dem no allow  two methods: OP_RETURN and the "Taproot exploit". But dis  filter no go get any effect, because the "fake public key" method cannot be blocked by dis way.

Unfortunately dis method nah also the most costly for nodes and therefore the most harmful for decentralization. Remember why dem introduce OP_RETURN ? (see above) Because the "fake public key" method and similar techniques don dey already cause  harm around 2014/15.

The Three Doors or why OP_RETURN no go open a new door

A very simple way to explain the change:

We get a house wey get three doors. Outside dem get 99 monsters wey wan enter the house by any means. The probability of the monsters to enter the house by any door nah the same.

Door 1 dey completely open now. Monsters entering dis door fit go directly into the whole house including the bedrooms and eat the people wey dey live  there. Nahim be the "fake public key method", the most harmful of all.

Door 2 dey mostly open, some people dey try to close am sometimes but with not plenti luck. Monsters fit enter the kitchen, but dem no fit enter the bedrooms, so the people wey dey the house are a bit safer, but still frequently a monster fit dey able to eat somebody.[3] Nahim be the "Taproot witness method", the second most harmful.

Door 3 dey currently open only small. Nah only small monsters Fit  enter am. But even if dem open the door completely, the monsters go just reach only a guest room wey  almost nobody of the people living in the house dey  use, and therefore  only rarely eat somebody. Nah dis wan be OP_RETURN.

We no fit  close Door 1 (see above). Door 2 fit dey closed but the effect go  be limited, because the monsters go then use Door 1 and the number of eaten people go even dey higher.

We can however open Door 3. The monsters wey dey use dis door no go cause much harm. Monsters entering through the other two doors fit still enter, but we go get 1/3 less deaths.

Dis is what Core did lifting the OP_RETURN limits. E no go probably cause the spam (monster waves) to stop, but e fit reduce their harm, at least a bit.

Economics of the NFT market

Dem get another reason why Bitcoin 30 no go probably lead to more spam: The NFT market dey limited. Dem don already get hundreds of thousands of NFTs wey dey the Bitcoin blockchain, but dem no get unlimited people wey want buy a Pepe or whatever as a NFT.

People posting NFTs dey expect a profit. But if dey have to pay transaction fees, then dem go need to check that dey no dey pay more than the profit wey dem dey able to earn. The only way wey go  make publishing NFTs more attractive go be a measure which go leads to less transaction fees.

But the lifting of OP_RETURN limits no make NFTs cheaper in regards of transaction fees. The "Taproot exploit" is still cheaper, and the cost of "fake public keys" dey almost similar.

So the lifting of OP_RETURN limits no  change NFT market economics. If a NFT was profitable now, it will be profitable with BItcoin 30, and if not then e no go be.

Wetin be the effect wey you mention in the first paragraph? Why could we see more data/spam in the blockchain after dem release Core 30 ?

Technically, e no make big difference for those developing and storing NFTs, images, tokens (like Runes, BRC-20 and SRC-20) to use OP_RETURN or another method to store their data. Dem get plenti tools wey dey  available, for example the Stampchain / Bitcoin Stamps project dey use fake public keys, and Ordinals dey use the Taproot witness method.

So why can dis change lead to a temporary "data spam" wave?

The reason nah be say the NFT market could try to market a new type of NFT. The NFT market dey  live due  to trends, fads, "cool collections" and similar reasons, and NFT collection creators often try to utilize  the originality of a method. If OP_RETURN based NFTs become now attractive, then an OP_RETURN  based NFT protocol fit  try to get attention once Bitcoin Core 30 gets published, like how Ordinals do in 2023. And dis can lead to a spam wave indeed.

E also dey possible dat people wey dey annoyed by the OP_RETURN change could publish NFTs as a kind of "revenge attack".

For this reason I personally go like a gradual increment of the OP_RETURN default (standardness) limits and not the complete removal of limits.

But in the long run, e dey highly  likely that the amount of spam or random data transactions will not increase as an effect of the OP_RETURN change of Bitcoin 30.

Notes: (ELI18)

[1] The nodes go only need to process the data make dem calculate the merkle tree of the transaction and the transaction ID. Then dey fit in theory delete the data behind the code if dem want. The only problem is that dey no fit  transmit the complete transaction in question to other nodes wey dey  request am.

[2] The reason be say the techniques like the "Taproot witness method" wey Ordinals dey use and the "fake public keys" wey stampchain dey use lead to a lot of UTXOs being created wey dem no go ever fit spend. These UTXOs needs to be stored and managed by the nodes for an additional database. Dis maintenance work is much more costly to simply store the blockchain data.

[3] The analogy wey dey here: A "death" by being eaten by a monster is an UTXO which  dem suppose store by all nodes in their UTXO database forever, because it never will be spent. The fake public key method dey produce the highest rate of these UTXOs and dem dey  impossible to spend. The "Taproot witness exploit" occasionally dey  create dust UTXOs, which fit dey spent but the fees to do so go dey higher than the value transacted. OP_RETURN dey only very rarely lead to dust UTXOs and never to completely unspendable UTXOs.


Notes: Tips wey go improve dis post dey welcome! If I missed something wey dey important I go dey happy to add am. Only make e no become too technical. People wey wan to know more technical details should read Antoine Poinsot's blog post wey  detail his reasons why he proposed the OP_RETURN change.

Original topic:Tangem Cards are Vulnerable to Brute-Force Attacks
Author profile link: Pmalek

Ledger’s security team, Ledger Donjon, Dey don see say weakness Dey Tangem cards wey be say Dey fit take advantage of am with brute-force password attack. Dem fit exploit am with special hardware equipment wey dem go use pass Tangem’s built-in brute-force delay system. D technique ledger wey dem Dey use na “tearing.” Successful tearing go allow Ledger Donjon to try around 2.5 login per second, wey go reduce d time wey e go require to Brute-force weak passwords.

Dem no Dey upgrade Tangen cards, so we’re d wahala Dey be say u no fit fix d problem. Wetin people wey Dey use am go fit do be say make dem use passwords wey Dey very complex dey suppose use like 8 characters, make dem include letters, digits, and special symbols.

More details dey here about the report wey Ledger Donjon wrote and shared with Tangem: https://www.ledger.com/blog-brute-force-attack-tangem


Tangem’s Anti-Brute-Force System

If u don try incorrect password for 6 times on a Tangem card, a 1-second delay is added. Each one incorrect password wey u put, e go increase d delay by 1 second, and d maximum go fit reach 45 seconds.

If we take dis into account, Ledger estimates how long e go take to brute-force simple PINs of 4-8 digits:

- 4-digit PIN: ~5 days
- 6-digit PIN: ~520 days
- 8-digit PIN: ~143 years


D Tearing Attack

A tearing attack Dey interrupt power to d card during d operation of counting d login eateries. If don successfully, an attacker fit get unlimited password entries and e no go trigger a delay in d system. Tangem cards no Dey clean d seed after X number of unsuccessful password entries like d way some wallets Dey do.


What Did Ledger Donjon Do?

Dey modified Tangem cards, Dey go come solder their own antennas to capture signals and measure electromagnetic emissions (EM). Tangem Dey use a secure channel wey Dey him card to protect against data exchanges. Dis channel Dey use password that is derived from d user’s password. By brute-forcing d secure channel, Ledger could also brute-force d login password.

Ledger Donjon discover say dis kin channel Dey vulnerable to tearing attacks. When dem observe dem on monitors, d EM emissions wey Dey between d correct and incorrect password Dey different, wey make am so easy to recognize. Using equipment wey ledger talk say e cost under &5,000, Dey were able to test passwords continuously without delays.





Impacts of d Tearing Attacks

Tearing attacks require say u go get physical to d physical cards and special equipment. D attackers fit try new passwords at a rate of around 2.5 passwords per second compared to 1 password every 45 seconds.
D biggest risk wey Dey na with weak passwords wey dem use common word for. Dem Dey vulnerable to dictionary attacks. An attacker fit try 1 million common password in around 4.5 days.

Na for here we go see comparison of an attack rate of 2.5 passwords per second Campari’s to 1 password every 45 seconds:




Ledger's Recommendations to Tangem and Tangem Users

Make we Dey Use strong passwords.

- make we Dey use 8 characters or more
- Letters, numbers, and special characters
- Tangem no suppose allow users dey use weak passwords
- people wey dey use weak passwords make dem upgrade go more complex ones

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; [Education] Why Not Eligible Airdrop Testnet?
Original Topic: [Edukasi] Kenapa Ga Eligible Airdrop Testnet?
Author: masulum

INTERMEZZO

Hello all friends, Hw una dey, I hope say everyone dey alright? E don tey wen I participate 4 d forum, since I bcom a regional election committee, After dat, I con change my wife's role as a house wife, bcos she get pregnant, but i thank baba God say she don born safely , dis wey happen make am difficult for me to manage my time. While I was off, I go dey explore on hw dey go do Testnet. E be Airdrop task wey I never touch since I know crypto. Na last year ending I studied am, nd i do some work so dat I go gain experience, nd most of d tins wey I do no dey eleg  Cheesy:D, I dey try to do Monad. but uptill now I never explored further.

So, from wettin I experience, I wan share wit una d tin wey cause am nd I no bcom an elig. Maybe this will be a thread that seems stale, but believe am or not, plenty people no go still realize am, so wen dey get TGE, plenty people dey think say na d developer  wronged am. Ok

WHY I NO DEY ELIGIBLE 4 AIRDROP TESTNET?

Before I go continue, I go like 2 convey d disclaimer first, say d tin wey I wrote here na purely from my personal experience, wic go or may dey very different. However, d important tin wey cause am not to be eligible dey 4 d points wey I mentioned. Here are some reasons why you don't eligibe airdrop Testnet.

1. If u no dey dey active 4 d Network

Testnet na method of work wey you supposed dey carry out actively. U no go dey eligible if u only make 1 - 10 transactions during d period. Bcos d goal na to ensure say d network wey dey develope by d project dey smooth, the community is asked to carry out as many transactions as possible. E mean say if u only make 1 - 10 transactions, dey go consider say u no dey participate 4 d network. Steps you should improve to increase the eligible opportunities is to carry out transactions regularly, for example 50 transactions per day, so that in 6 days you can have a record of 300 transactions every day.

2. If u dey active 4 Network, But u no dey try All d Features

Alasan selanjutnya adalah, D next reason be say, u already dey active 4 transactions, sending between wallets or swapping, unfortunately u 4get about other necessary features. 4 example, apart from swaps u suppose add LP, u suppose 2 try Bridge nd so on. Dis na one-to-one feature 4 testnet campaigns, meaning u no fit make snd transaction btw wallets if u wan dey eligible. There4, if u wan increase eligible opportunities, try to explore d features wey dey develop by d project.

3. The requested task was not carried out

Testnet, no dey only focus on d network, but dey go ask u 4 plenty tins.  4 example, dem go ask u 2 deploy contracts, create token memes, create NFTs and so on. Dem dey among d task wey u go complete during d testing period. If u always dey busy wit only Bridge, Swap and send tokens, but u no dey do d other tasks wey dem ask u 2 do, den definitely u no go dey eligible for Airdrop.

4. Doesn't have a role on Discord

But, u know say d following Testnet often dey fail 2 be eligible, bcos d Discord role no meet. Wettin dis means be say, u go only do testing 4 d network but no dey actively communicate on Discrod, so dey go consider say u no dey dey active. There4, try 2 dey check whether dem go get some role requirements wey must u met b4 u go reach d minimum criteria 4 receiving an Airdrop. If dem get any, den u must try make u get dat role. D role wey dey very hard 2 find na d OG role, bcos dey usually give am 2 d members who joined at the start, but OG normally dey get larger portion, u fit chase other roles 2 reach d minimum limit.

5. Inactive on Social Media Quest/task

Apart from carrying out testing tasks 4 d network, testnets normally dey also require carrying out tasks 4 social media or what is known as quests. Dem get various quests, dem dey carryout some 4 developer websites, galxe, intract and so on. U should explore all these tasks actively on Discord and X. If dey get am, do am soon as possible, so dat u no go forget am. Dem dey do dis also 2 increase d eligible opportunities

6. Sybil aka Nuyul indicated

I dey thank @bangjoe 4 reminding me. Sybil also b one of d reasons why u  dey eligible. Dis dey happens if dem indicate u 2 dey  work 4 a multi-account. We know nd we dey often hear d word nuyul, na Indonesian hunters dey use dis word, nd 4  developer terms na sybil. What factors go make am easy 4 developers to know if someone is indicated to be sybil?
1. Network IP, no matter, you dey use a lot of devices, if 1 IP is static, den u go easily indicated Sybil.
2. Correlation between addresses, if u use Wallet A to register for airdrop A, den u register wit wallets B, C etc. However, 4 d same funding source, namely Wallet A, you go detect by sybil.
3. Another criterion wey proves say u don work wit multiple accounts

D rest get a complete explanation 4 d following reply:

Who no know Sybil go fit. check here.

These are some of ddd reasons wey get d potential 2 make u uneligible 4 d Airdrop testnet. Wit dis information, hopefully u go fit understand d tins wey u suppose better 4 u 2 get maximum allocation and greater eligible potential. Wettin dey certain be say u go also know d project wey u go participate in. following d five points wey dey above No guaranteed say u go dey eligible, but I emphasize again2 increase opportunities notin more dan dat. Bcos 4 d end e go comes back 2 d formula.
1. Dev dey always dey right
2. D community dey always wrong
3. If d developer dey wrong, den return to point 1.

Na so dem dey also call am we only enliven am, d final decision b say na d developer go decides. We fit vex? Of course, whether u hear am or not na d developer's business .

Hopefully dis thread dey useful 4 those of u who actively follow Testnet, and most importantly, hopefully ELIG  Shocked

Original topic:Mini tutorial for using PM
Author profile link: joker_josue

Following d topic wey I create about PM titles, I get d idea say I go create small tutorial on how u go fit use PMs for dis forum.
I never get any problem before say I Dey use dis forum personal message system, because i being adapt its features and functionalities (anyhow wey Dey wan be). Plenty people don already sabi Wetin I wan share for here already, but me I know say e go still Dey useful, and e go help everyone make dem sabi how dem go Dey use forum PM system in best way.


Basic points
If u wan really use PM, then u suppose keep two important things for mind. Understanding them na half way to make everything simpler.
- Na sequentially dem Dey list messages, regardless of d subject or who sent dem. Listed from oldest to newest.
- Automatically all messages wey you receive Dey inside inbox. In turn, shipments go to Outbox.



How u go take organize urself
D best way which u go fit do that na to just focus on d index wey Dey top of d page, wey list all d messages, u go come click on d message wey u wan read. Na for d index u go fit see if d messages in d given conversation are followed or not. Dis way, even if u come receive messages from other users, between conversations, u go come sabi which one Dey linked to subject/user, and which one Dey linked to another subject/user. In turn, messages having specific titles can help carry out this analysis.

Make u no Dey keep messages wey no Dey very relevant, e go help u keep ur message box clean and organized. Sometimes a message at d end of a conversation with a simple “Thank u” no get file relevance and u fit delete am.

And Wetin go fit help u pass na make u Dey use label system (I go talk about am next).



Use labels
Better advantage wey Dey say u Dey use labels be say u fit divide d PM wey u Dey receive for different categories, themes, user, etc. dis one go help u avoid u so that ur inbox no go full with messages from several conversations at the same time. Dis is because, by assigning a lebel to a message, u go fit commot d message for ur inbox. If u immediately assign a lebel to d beginning of a conversation, and u come continue with dis assignment, u go keep ur  inbox clean, and e go come easy for u to Dey manage d PMs wey u Dey receive.

But how e come Dey work? Make we see with images.

1. Enter d labels tab.

Here u can create, u go edit and delete labels. Create all d ones wey u think say dem Dey appropriate for ur use, make u create dem according to d conversation wey u get.

2. Dis na d two ways wey u go fit assign a label.
2.1. Make u Select d message in d index and select a label:


2.2. Make u Choose d label in d message itself:


3. If u wan commot d message for d inbox, u must first assign a label, and den using d same drop list, click to remove from d inbox:


4. If u wan access d message lists for each label, simply use d side menu:



How u go start/reply to a PM
Last, but e Dey important, is d way u get d conversations. Dis one go fit help those who receive our response to organize themselves if dem Dey read am. Dis na because we must get am for mind say d other user wey we Dey get communicate with fit get several conversations at d same time for PM.

In dis sense, I go recommend two things:
- Anytime wey u dey start conversation, assign a subject (aspect discussed in d topic already mentioned at d beginning).
- When u Dey reply, quote d last message received. Attention: dis is not to quote d entire conversation! E just be from d last message wey u receive. Dis go allow d other user to quickly understand d topic and point of  d conversation wey we Dey get.


I hope say dis tutorial go Dey useful for organizing ur personal message box here on d forum.

U get any tips? Make u share am!

Hello guys, I wan show una my experimental bitcointalk tools, na Ai dem use 2 made dis tool e don bi like 2 month now, nd currently dey host am wit shared hosting. D idea na 2 give a tool 2 d campaign manager wey dem go fit use 2 count d post of d members. Basicly, D tool dey inspired by Ninjastic, nd dey combine am wit my experience wen I bcom bounty Manager 4 past.

Features  for Managers
1. 4 managers wey don register, u fit upload ur campaign data from CSV (Google sheet link or file) as far as u give several "keyboards" 4 harders, system go start 2 dey scrape data from all ur users.



2. Registered managers go fit do instant scrape every 30 minutes. But 4 now, na UTC time dem dey use, nd 4 now dey never update campaigns detail wey dem go fit fellow timezone setting by managers.



3. Go put campaigns data 4 pdf, if needed.



4. Able to set based on campaigns rules.



U fit read some info  on this pages

Code:

Try 2 used managers features 4 here:

No open registrations 4ever make u prevents fake accounts, managers who wan have an account, make una reply 2 dis thread or via PM. nd I go PM d password (4 now we no get reset password, but we go get am very soon), BTTAUTH go bcom one time password 4 future. Dey no need email, jxt using bitcointalk profile.


For Users or Campaigns Participants

1. E dey very easy 2 check ur daily process, dis feature e bi an alternative, we already  don have ninjastic.space wey get smooth data proccessing.



2. Track campaigns (managers and users), scrape delayed for 2.5 hours.



3. Single posts view, If u need simple view to read posts of ur participants? U fit check am wit dis features.



4. Check d intencity of ur posts, 2 track am whether dem dey burst post. Since every managers fit decide 4 themselves, dis features go only identifies if too much of posts (e.g 4 or more) they occur within a very short time window (e.g 5 minutes).



5. Campaigns data


Pages: https://signatools.net/public/campaign-detail.php?hash=BC.game+Signature+Campaign+V-2+Tier+B


Since I no bi a real programmer, maybe dis tools no go dey perfect, I jxt wan give small solution 4 managers so dat dem go fit save time if dem they check d campaign quantitatively. Dis tool  no go fit check d quality, since quality dey always under manager decissions. I wish say dis tool go fit save maybe 30% of managers' time. I go dey very happy if dey get anything wey una go fit add 4 me. I dey hope say one day e no go bi say AI developed dis tools, but dey get some people(friends) who wan join me.  Bcos initially dey get 2 man, b4 my friends decide to leave. D time nd ideas dat dey use go waste if dey no continued, so na AI bi deasiest way for me to apply my ideas.

PS: since this is only deployed in shared hosting, I dey very sorry, if dey get any error suddenly.

I go like 2 thank: @LoyceV and TryNinja

Original Topic: Sidechain observer - Bitcoin L2 projects & current state of development 
Author: d5000


~snip


Wetin be sidechains?

Sidechains (mostly simply called "L2s" or "layer-2's", even tho say dis  term dey also include Lightning) nah blockchains wey get token pegged 1:1 to the value of Bitcoin. Dis dey allow am to "scale up" di number of potential users and transactions. The perfect sidechain go be a totally decentralized "second layer" of di Bitcoin network, where users fit "transfer" value to, and bring am back to di main chain, without needing to trust new (centralized) parties. Currently such a  network no still dey operational, at least regarding Bitcoin; all operational sidechains  still get centralized elements.

Di big challenge nah di two-way peg: E dey  easy to burn a BTC unit for mainchain  and create a coin unit on a sidechain for it ("peg-in"). Dis nah however only a "one way peg" (Spacechains do dat  exactly). But e dey very difficult to design a system where this BTC unit could "return" to mainchain ("peg-out"). It fit ofcourse be "burnt" on the sidechain, but on Bitcoin dey no fit create new units due to the 21 million token limit. So Wetin dey needed nah way to temporarily retire the coin from circulation, and allow to transfer it to an address which can prove dat e don burnt a sidechain token which can prove its "ancestry" goes back to a blocked Bitcoin and dat  e never double spent.
 
Types of sidechains & Current projects

L2.watch nah website wey dey display di status of most of di  known projects. There is also dis overview about sidechains  and related project like Spacechains and Spiderchains. BitcoinLayers dey do risk analysis for some of di existing projects.

Drivechain: A merged mined sidechain, where di  miners dey control peg-ins and peg-outs. The project was started by Paul Sztorc and e dey beta state, nah only testnets dey available. E  go need new opcodes for Bitcoin Script.

Project website - Github repo - BIP 300

(Static) federated sidechains: A sidechain where a multisig "federation" dey controls di  peg-ins and peg-outs. Such a federation dey mostly composed of addresses wey dey  controlled by several different publicly known entities, e.g. companies and "trustworthy" individuals. Dis makes dis model relatively centralized.

Current projects:

- Rootstock (RSK) (operational). According to di project its model dey already incorporates some dynamic federation elements.
- Liquid Network (operational)

Dynamic Federations: Sidechains where the federation no dey static, but instead e dey change periodically. Normally di federation members dey vote on di sidechain, and sidechain incentives make sure say dey no misbehave, for example via a security deposit which fit dey slashed if dey double-spend funds.

Current projects:

- Nomic (partly operational, e dey audit process, depends on PoS consensus via a partly premined token)
- Stacks (blockchain operational but the bridge dey beta, project announced dat  in 2024 e fit become operational, depends on PoS consensus via a partly premined token)
- BEVM (seems operational) Claims to work with Taproot.

Rollups: A sidechain where some participants (normally di  sidechain validators) dey store information about di sidechain state (transactions, owners etc.) on the mainchain, but for compressed form. Di idea is dat there always get enough information on mainchain that the sidechain state can be proven, in some cases even di transactions fit be "reconstructed". Dem get  two main types: Optimistic rollups, where cheating/double-spending has to be proven, and ZK rollups, where a zero-knowledge proof fit prove say  the state dey correct.

For Ethereum dey already dey quite widespread. However dey have still mostly centralism problems. Examples nah Optimism and Arbitrum.

There are proposals for Bitcoin rollups.

Extension blocks: Dis fit also be described as a type of sidechain. Basically a sidechain block fit be referenced by a miner in di  mainchain block header. Therefore,  dis kind sidechain go need to be integrated into the protocol and therefore, like Drivechain, e go needs di approval of di developers of di reference implementation (Bitcoin Core). Only altcoins have implemented dis model. The most famous example is probably Litecoins MimbleWimble extension block, wey dey operational since 2021.


Reviewed projects:

You fit find short reviews of di following projects which  don suppose have already sidechain or rollup mainnets in dis thread (last updated: June 26, 2024):

Potentially interesting projects: BEVM, Nomic, tBTC (Threshold Network)
Doubtful projects: Biop, CoreDAO, Gelios, ckBTC on ICP, Libre, Merlin Chain, Map Protocol,
Not sidechains (do not have sidechain-like two-way pegs for BTC): BVM, Elastos, Nervos Network, Kadena, MVC
Possible scams (do your own research*): ZKsats (rugpull accusations on X, see here), Gelios (accusation on YouTube)

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools dey ineffective: e fit even help criminals
Original Topic: Crackdown on mixers and privacy tools is ineffective: it may even help criminals
Author: d5000



For long time naw, authorities  above all from di US don dey close  mixers and  other privacy services and tools operators  (like Samourai) and dey arrest their founders and operators.

Dey fit believe say these crackdowns dey help against money laundering. But dat is  probably not di case.

Why closing mixers dey useless

The reason dey simple: If a criminal get  some technical abilities, then he fit  hide his traces on blockchains in many ways without even needing to use a privacy tool or mixer: He only has to do plenti of transactions mixing in different sources of funds, for example using CoinJoins and exchanges of coins on  different blockchains.

One important method wey go help with that task are atomic swaps, nah a trustless method to exchange funds coming from a blockchain for funds wey dey another chain. Traditional atomic swaps dey still provide a link between di transactions on different blockchains. But a few years ago a new kind of atomic swap was developed wey dey use adaptor signatures and dey already dey  use am in Bitcoin-Monero swaps. Dis method dey make di swap private.

This dey also give a completely safe path for all criminals to hide their on-chain traces (I purposefully avoid di term "money laundering", see the last paragraph): simply do a couple of atomic swaps and  transactions, using different blockchains, and e go be extremely difficult -- probably as difficult as to detect funds going through a centralized mixer -- to link these transactions together. This go even work without recurring to "privacy coins" like Monero.

Why a complete crackdown on di privacy services go actually help criminals

In di current crypto services/tools landscape, where mixers dey mostly still centrally or semi-centrally operated, law enforcing authorities still get some chance to stop criminals. For example, a centralized mixer get atleast di opportunity to react to di orders and  petitions of authorities, victims of crime or whitehat hackers. Probably some mixers do cooperate if dey still can interfere.

If criminals however go to completely decentralized methods like atomic swaps, nobody fit stop dem. Only di trade partners, but to be honest, how many traders dey do chain analysis? So you go from a perhaps 20-50% chance to be able to stop di criminal transactions due to cooperating mixers down to perhaps 0.01% of atomic swap users which fit atleast delay atomic swaps - atomic swaps no go fit ever be frozen!

E becomes even worse if we take into account di concept of di  anonymity set. Currently, dey get  only few people wey dey use atomic swaps. So di anonymity set dey relatively low: To achieve a high degree of anonymity, you go need a large set of transactions (or "funds origins") to mix your funds with. But di current liquidity of these services dey provide few "funds origins".

But Wetin  go happen if dem no get centralized or semi-centralized mixers available? Everybody who wants privacy go use atomic swaps, decentralized CoinJoins and other similar trustless/decentralized services.

Funds wey dey go through mixers are mostly been legitimate in many cases. Only for some occasions, where mixer operators probably cooperated with criminals, criminal funds made up a big portion or di majority.

So e dey very likely dat di  anonymity set which can be achieved using atomic swaps go explode. And dat will benefit criminals. Dem no go probably get way to stop them, at least inside the crypto-sphere.

Approach wey better pass

Authorities need to accept dat e no dey possible to make am impossible to hide di traces of stolen/hacked/terrorist/sanction-evading funds inside di blockchain world. And di more dey  view privacy services as enemies, di more difficult e go  become to stop criminals. Basically, cryptocurrency should be treated like cash.

Instead, make authorities and lawmakers focus first on di fiat "laundering" operations which emerge when di criminals don convert their funds to fiat, e.g. the creation of fake companies and other traditional methods. Because for "laundering" a criminal go need to end up with "clean" funds, e often no dey help to have "crypto funds of unclear origin".

But also cooperation with di privacy services fit help to combat crime. For example, I fit imagine a kind of "agreement", preferably written into clear laws and regulations: A country go allow non-KYC mixers, with the requirement say dem go react to orders and petitions from authorities, whitehat hackers (e.g. in the way di Security Alliance promotes am ) and victims of crime, and block their addresses or freezes di funds until e dey clear if dem dey related to a crime or not. E fit also help dat services fit delay processing of funds, requiring more confirmations for a deposit, giving victims and authorities some more time to react.

Would criminals still use  methods  like atomic swaps? Probably. But remember wetin I wrote about di anonymity set: People wey use mixers for privacy and not to hide crimes, go dey able to use centralized mixers and privacy tools without having to fear anything. So dey go probably not massively switch to atomic swaps, and di  atomic swap anonymity set go stay small.

There is also di important related topic of the negative consequences of the KYC requirement for all kinds of cryptocurrency services, wey result in data of hundreds of millions or perhaps even already billions of people mostly stored for relatively unsafe servers, being an interesting target for fraudsters due to di possibilities say e  provide for identity theft. The linked text from 1miau dey really worth reading.


In summary: Not either the crackdown on privacy services nor the widespread KYC obligations really help to fight crime.

E fit dey difficult for an average Bitcoiner to convince their country's authorities of these arguments. But there are possible strategies. Tell your friends about di harm of crackdowns and KYC requirements. Your friends probably are also voters, and the more people understand these things, the more attractive e go become for politicians to hear. Support privacy on social media. And for those wey want to do a bit more: Participate in pro-privacy organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation or the Pirate movement.


Edit: I wrote a similar text in Spanish, and possible fit  also add a German translation.

[b]Translated topic in pigin:  Hunger for gaza don dy come back again and the killi kili for the west.[/b]
Original topic: Starving Gaza is repetition of history and western barbarism.

Original author: pooya87

E don dy become something wey dy happen well well for gaza say something wey don happen before dy happen again come carry new thing follow body

This serious mata bin happen for Gaza wey be say people bin dy watch as e dy happen because. Them say na about 140 different countries na him this mata bin affect for inside the catacata wey happen for those countries them wey don dy expose wey be say hunger bin wan kill people this one na just one of the many many things wey happen


The one wey many people die pass na the one for America wey e b say Indian people wey colonise them kill about 100million people  these one happen through say people no see food chop, different different yamayama sickness them and the one wey e be say them kill them with there hamd

For inside the place wey them call canada na so them carry there women comot there women thing for there body so that they no go fit born pikin for India inside Bangladesh na so them do waitin go make people hungry go kill plenty plenty people


For the time wey e be say the world bin dy fight the first and the second time na so them kill like 13 million people for inside Iran because say people no see food chop them come also thief there food come dy burn burn there farms this one happen to 40% of the whole people wey fo inside there

Inside Iraq for 1990 them till e go reach 2 years when them enter for inside Iraq na about 500,000 people na him die for hunger and say them no see medicine take when e be say them sick them do am through laws wey no respect person and by force

For inside French the people there kill 1million people for inside Algeria sake of say them still wan dy control things for inside that area
For 1980 them na so them killover 2 million people them for North Korea from bad bad laws them wey make people begin dy hungry


Inside Somalia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, around that side them wey e be say e dy for the middle of Africa people then for there still dy hungry
Some kind places like in Europe people self still dy  go through those things way no make sense e.g for inside Ireland and Scotland British people bin make people no dy see potato again chop for inside there from 1845 - 1852 wey make millions of people die Ireland and 100k people die for Scotland come make plenty people no get where to stay come scatter them everywhere

As you can see the atrocities we watch take place every day in Gaza is the repetition of what these uncivilized and barbaric Western regimes have been committing
throughout history. The genocide in Palestine has been going on for almost 80 years an the Zionist occupiers of Palestine which call their terrorist organization Israel have been starving people, killing them, raping them, taking hostages and torturing them all these decades with full support of these Western regimes which can mainly be categorized as NATO.

As we dy see the different bad bad things wey dy happen for our crocro eye for inside Gaza so na exactly waitin dy happen dy always happen for all those western regions them right from time the kill kill of the black people them bin happen inside Pakistan don dy happen for 80 years now the people wey be taken over Pakistan bin make Israel dy starve starve people dy kill them some them dy sleep with them some them carry them come dy suffer suffer them for plenty plenty years these things bin dy happen freely because say NATO bin dy there back


E don dy like two years wey e be say these killi kili people for Isreal so bin don increase the level of bad bad things so that them go kill all the Palestine people



Waitin come dy happen be say the hunger for inside Gaza come dy go on dy go reach 2 years,  waitin come dy happen be say thr people wey dy talk for the head for the western people come begin dy talk about the hunger sense wey there oga them bin come dy use for Gaza like say na new thing no minding say e don dy happen dy go reach two years now

We dy even see the way people dy careless talk inside this forum dy try to pity alQaeda for inside Syriad for time wey e be say Don's reach months now because say people wey dy give them tori tell them like that dem go just come outside make people inside Gaza no see food chop

 
People don dy see why them supposed talk about waitin dy happen so because the thing don too much for some side them London now wan do pass US as e be say two of them no gree for each other this one na for who go fit control one particular area for that side wey e dy inside of us if you begin dy look waitin this talk talk people bin dy talk about you do discover say them no even dy talk about the wory worry people wey dy cause this cata cata because the thing don too much for inside some side for London na so them continue to dy kill people inside Pakistan area them

Waitin them dy do pass na to dy blame the people wey dy control this worry worry people them (or Netanyahu) as them dy do wayo wayo say the hunger bin starts some days wey just pass so because say the person wey dy tell them waitin to do wey be Charles dy try make e commit there leader put another people wey him go reach and way dy near am close to Washington

Waitin them suppose do no be to change anything for the Palestinians to fit see front na for them to dy strong   na for them to scatter the Isreal people don dy Palestine make them no allow them so that people wey be Muslims jews Christians every body fit dy live for there in peace and for there houses

Make we no forget say Gaza no dy fight with netayahu, Palestinine dy fight NATO. If NATO stop to dy send Israel things to use fight and even money, food fueletc. If say Erdogan stop to dy do business with them come cut the oil wey them dy supply give them, If us stop to dy put mouth for inside the way when e b say them dy do there politics, etc the way way them dy suffer other people go stop before u know

I don dy talk the different times wey be say Isreal no go fit do all the big big fight wey them dy do  on there own. If NATO stop to dy support them Isreal no go dy ground again this one also means say the thing wey e b say them dy kill kill other people for Gaza go also stop

Now you suppose don understand say the 12 days wey e be say NATO enter the war wey dy on with Iran, the people wey dy for Iran there as them try fight back NATO na so them follow through like  that come dy bomb Isreal. We don dy see waitin the 12 days heavy catacata for Isreal. We don dy see waitin the thing wey the fight don cause wey be say the Palestinians don already sabi how to  stay away as e don dy get more success even as e be say  some group of people still dy die for inside gaza
