My final thought on combatting AI misinformation. My largest mistake was not understanding the AI was misleading me, it was believing more people thought like I do. A mistake I've made a million times in my life, that I don't seem to learn from.

For example, when I meet a new friend, I will spend a few hours researching their background, or hiring someone to do it for me. Most people do not do this, even if they have a legitimate need for the extra security. It's not curiosity - I had to worry about stress and blood pressure etc. A lifetime of law enforcement does that to you, but it is a very rewarding life.

I know now that most people are not going to type the kind of AI queries needed to get to some of these false accusations. A person still needs to find the information, point it out to the AI, and then hope it gets indexed. That takes time and energy. I know the main attacks have stopped out of fear/liability so all this pedo promotion, lies and corruption shit will go away as the whack jobs find new enemies/fantasies, or simply run out of money to defend their perversion.
in the last week, I have lost my high blood pressure, I have lost my sleep apnea, and 40 years of normal wear and tear on my heart have been repaired.
That sounds like a big win! Congrats!
Thank you!!! Less than a month ago I was expecting to live out a comfortable life just west of the Rockies, giving to my local community until my body gave out from exhaustion.


Now I'm actually making plans for another ten to twenty years. (My lifespan is rated another 35 years but I wouldn't want to live in a post collapse society. Have a permits for geothermal drilling and am looking at helping a dozen or so people a year start new "AI resistant" businesses by
buying centralized small manufacturing machines. The world will become decentralized overnight within the next couple years, and communities that rely on national/international services, currencies or manufactured goods will disappear.

Why isn't it used in everyday transactions or why wasn't it implemented?
If you send Bitcoin to a normal address, it simply appears on the blockchain. But if you send Bitcoin to a Silent Payment address, your wallet needs to do much more work to find which funded Bitcoin addresses belong to you.I selected that option in Cake wallet and it seems like the wallet has to download a lot of data to make the whole thing operational. From what I can see, it's quite slow and stops when the screen turns off, so it's not as simple as it seems at first glance.

Thanks for your reply! Since you mentioned the possibility of sending the list by email, I was wondering — would it be possible to get the list of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance, and in addition to that, include the date of the first transaction for each address?
I understand that this extra information might not have been part of the data shown on

So I recently thought about it there's rank system in forum JR to legendary. It would be great if we can check a user's rank according to their earned merit on specific time frame 7D , 30D , 90D , 120D
So I tried to build a test project - All thanks to LoyceV since he has billions of data dumped. I took data from his -
https://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt and organize it and make it more suitable to visit and check the data.
Since there's thousands of user I've implemented a search bar , if they are not in top 100. I also added a section of 24h Most active user , A section where it will show those who is close to their next rank and recently promoted to their next rank.
I just started the RDP so it will take some time to sync all active user data , close to rank and recently promoted dataAlso it's a test project, there's might be still lot's of space to improve. For now Leaderboard page is almost accurate, I checked it on Bpip also 30D earned merit was accurate .
Check It Out Here - https://bitcointalk-dashboard.vercel.app/- it updates merit info every 24h
- scrap active user for every 10min those who actively posted considered as active user
Features- Check 24h Active Member Status
- Those Who Closed to their next Rank
- Recently Promoted to Their Next Rank
- A Leaderboard ranking system based on your earned merit 7d,30d ,90d ,120d Timeframe

wow!!, I just checked it out and i must confess it is a nice tool and the interface is quite smooth to navigate i love simple and yet fascinating UI/UX Development... I have a feeling more features are on the way!! becuase once you feel attched and dedicated to a project all you will aspire to do is to make it better and better. Keep it up boss.

Even with all that work don't you think this thing should be added since privacy is involved here? Or does it comes with other disadvantages? More cost? Please enlightened me if you can. I really don't know / can't understand why this isn't suppprted by many.

Sarcasm or not, look what you have done to yourself. You open a post crying about unfair treatment and opened the can of worms. Now you have been connected to multiple accounts(which is not illegal unless cheating campaigns), have been accused of using AI on all 3, and i'm sure someone is looking into if you have been cheating campaigns.
It's fine to be a smartass or try to be funny, but if you are accused of something and want to refute it, it's best to stick to the facts and prove your case.

I must give you credit for a job where you have put together every event in the forum and presented it to everyone. It would be better if you could make the OP post smaller and more concise. I can even help you if you feel the need.
Another thing is that the OP post has some errors in its code and is not completely clear. You need to be more educated on this and work on it again. You can also add local board events and contact any local board members to access them so that they can help you.
Here is an example of shortening the post, you can try this.

Welcome splash! I heard about you on the other forum. I'm glad you're joining this cause of privacy by providing non-KYC swap exchanges.
I've already favorited your .onion address and will keep an eye on it. Though the service accepts few coins, I missed LTC support. Do you plan to add it? It has low fees.
Thank you for the welcome and thank you for checking out our service

Will keep track of the requests for LTC!
The Letter of Guarantee shows the Unix time instead of human time. Is that on purpose?
Legacy or Nested Segwit Bitcoin addresses are not recognized. Is that on purpose?
Unix time is on purpose to avoid confusion

On Bitcoin addresses - these are getting added as we speak, will announce an update very soon.

Does anyone know a different source where we could see the number of unconfirmed below 1 sat/vByte transactions for different fee ranges?
I'd use mempool.space for this:
3 transactions into the future, it's 0.63 sat/vbyte.
7 blocks into the future, it's down to 0.43 sat/vbyte.
Most people would not want to schedule their transaction that far in time, so the <1sat/vbyte fees are so far only looking a little bit useful.

You mean the public key. If your private key is exposed, your funds are stolen
instantly. But really, if you're confused about the difference between addresses, public keys and private keys, you shouldn't be worrying about quantum computing at all. There are much bigger risks factors, like the hot wallet you're using.
Yeah sorry I meant public key. I mistyped.
Sparrow isn't a hot wallet. It requires a hardware wallet to sign transactions.

Move them to a new address.
So simply move every UTXO to a brand new address?
Because the new address is only receiving, hasn't been spent from yet? I think I got it.
So the private key that was previously exposed is useless to a hacker, since it no longer has any bitcoin?

2) And just within 30 minutes of syncing tit, it will consume roughly about 12GB of my mobile data without even syncing much

When i write this reply, size of Bitcoin blockchain is currently almost 700GB.
Should I downgrade, change some settings, or is v29.0 simply more data intensive?
What is your goal of running Bitcoin Core? If you need Bitcoin wallet that is easy to use, consider wallet software such as Electrum. If you want to help the Bitcoin network, you don't have to force yourself to run full node especially when there are at least 22K reachable nodes (according to bitnodes.io)
HP laptop with AMD processor, 8gb RAM, 128 SSD, 1.80GHZ Windows 11
With 8 GB RAM, your SSD will get pounded while syncing the last few years of block data. It will work, but only get slower as
chainstate grows.
I don't know quality of HP product. But if it use very cheap/QLC-based SSD, the sync speed (after certain block height) will reduce significantly and may cause slowdown whole laptop/task.

Yeah, that's the only below 1 sat/vByte representation of transactions I have seen. I have never stopped to inspect how accurate it is so I am just going to assume that it's the best one we have currently.
Now we need to convince the wallet providers to make those changes according to the new fee rate adjustments because I still see it's not possible to set the few below 1sat/vb on any wallet that I am using.
Electrum server operators should be able to do this with a simple settings change. That would already help significantly if we take into account how popular the wallet is.
If you are using Trezor and Trezor Suite, then you can create and sign your transaction using the software and broadcast the raw transaction on mempool.space.
Bitcoin Core can be set up accordingly as well.

Great!
Can I add one more "rule" to this escrow agreement? When you ask to return the money, you should remove the Escrow Guarantee from the OP and your website. Without changing it, no escrow money should be returned.
Thanks for your contribution. This is a good improvement. We agree that the bond won't be released until we remove all "Escrow Guarantee" references from our OP and website and post a dated notice. @SFR10 will have to verify this before returning the funds.

I would appreciate a programmer if they come up with more useful tools instead of these kinds of things, which are not useful, but are for entertainment only. Don't get offended, OP, it's just my personal point of view. As you can see, people liked your idea and they started using it. Of course, I am not one of them

. But don't lose hope, I would expect you to make some extensions or build something unique to make forum life easier.
I don't have any idea for new tools, so I am not the one who can suggest to you what to build. I appreciate people like TryNinja and LoyceV who developed some useful tools that we use every day. Or at least once a week.
C'mon, it's not that we all need useful things - fun stuff is also needed. And everyone have to start from something - usually it's small and simple things. And when they gain experience, they can start making more difficult things.
However, allowing image uploads might require the OP to implement some security measures, such as file validation, and possibly set limits on image size to avoid storage issues, which is another work.
Alternatively, allowing users to insert an avatar via a URL (like from Imgur or TalkImg) might be a simpler and more storage-friendly approach.
It already sounds a bit more complicated. But if OP is able to implement such things, I think that it would be best to use 3rd party websites to hosts these images, as you mentioned.

What agreement did you make on returning the money when they ask for it? I'm asking because of
this scenario: in that case the escrowed funds were asked back shortly after someone deposited an amount large enough to exit scam.
I have to admit, we didn't specifically talk about the manner in which funds will be returned to @splashed
[that's on me (SMH)].
- Thank you for mentioning that case.Escrow only makes sense if there's at least 1 week "cool down period", during which you publicly announced that you'll pay back funds in a week.
You have a point, but after reading those posts and seeing that after roughly 3 weeks, victims were still coming forward, I think a cool-down period of 3 weeks should be the minimum.

Given the number of chatbots spitting out verbal diarrhea, it's inevitable many of them will spit out incorrect data. Now it's "grok", in a few years there are millions of them. You can't correct them all, it's pointless.
I weep with feelings of nostalgia already, for a time not so long ago when shitposters could be easily identified and then figuratively bitch-slapped to the floor for their transgressions. Now I've got such a distaste for and paranoia about AI (because it's ubiquitious, usually flaccid in its presentation of information, and more often than not seemingly used for the sake of using it--and the bilious, lingering taste has come from seeing it used on sites like ebay and common search engines) that sometimes I actually become reluctant to read through threads, as it feels like I'm suddenly on a hunt for miscreants who could never string together a proper sentence in English if they had a loaded gun to their malodorous heads.

(Can someone test Grok on bpip?)
https://x.com/i/grok/share/NAVYx6NZcLi77Ubf54YmlhqfuThe creator of bpip.org, the Bitcointalk Public Information Project, is not explicitly named in the provided information or on the website itself. The site, which collects and stores publicly available data from Bitcointalk, does not attribute a specific individual as its founder. It appears to be a community-driven or anonymously initiated project, with no clear mention of a single creator.
The thing is Grok lies all the time, also frequently misrepresenting fiction as fact. It says things that it thinks you want to hear instead of factual information. So if it tells you it is incorporating your input into its dataset, its probably not true. Although it is kinda weird that it no longer says LoyceV is the creator of bpip so maybe it was convinced to second-guess itself.

Very good point, thanks. I already had it on my agenda to research why there's such a significant difference between available free space and total space minus used space. I totally forgot about such thing as
reserved space. Next on my bucket list: when is
reserved space actually used (I'll figure it out).

Bitcoin Core approach makes sense. They probably expect blocksdir located on slower (and bigger) drive and you want to keep index file on faster drive.
Once I figured out the actual behavior and with your nod to it, I concluded that this is most likely why it is as it is. Stuff like indices, chainstate, wallets should be in datadir location on fast, high IOPS storage.
Good point, although performance of some SSD (usually older or cheap ones) got reduced when it's nearby full (90% full or more).
Probably more modern flash controllers are smarter after TRIM and at some time later garbage collection and consolidation of free flash blocks and remapping of data to gain more continuous free flash blocks to speed up writing new data. No expert in this, but I like to read publications about how fancy flash storage evolves if I stumble upon them.

I'm going to keep this thread open to figure out what the heck bitcoingirl means by "lies all the time" and "idiot", since they don't match my definition. I'm also open to dialogue - I would like to stop triggering him but at the same time he needs to understand no one has bullied me to remove valid feedback in a decade, and his insults do not carry the same weight an old DT member does.
I think we all agree that a non moderated discussion is better than a locked thread where you can unlock and relock just quick enough to take a cowardly potshot at heroes.

I am now going to respond to LoyceV in the correct thread, because he identified whackjob months before the rest of us.

TLDR:
- Respond here if you want to chat about Vod vs BTCgirl
- Respond in my AI thread to chat about my worries regarding AI misinformation

Long story short: blocksdir is only about the *.dat files in the blocks folder, Bitcoin Core still expects the block's index database folder blocks/index to remain in the datadir location.

Bitcoin Core approach makes sense. They probably expect

The integrity of the blockchain is protected by miners and I'm pretty sure they'll be perfectly able to afford a good enough SSD to fit the entire blockchain as is.

As you can see in my
Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos thread that LoyceV linked to, there are several casinos where the $22 equivalent in bitcoin is below the minimum withdrawal amount. Some of them very popular in this space.
I am not a big fan of having my signature payments sent to a gambling account, but at the same time, I have participated in such campaigns. What you can do is to wait until several weeks worth of signature payments are paid to you and then make only one withdrawal, paying the withdrawal fees only once and getting a bigger UTXO. That might not be possible for you right now since you are wearing a different signature already. I assume you are now in a new campaign.
Are the withdrawal fees fixed or dynamic? In other words, do they always charge $8 or does it go up and down? The mempools aren't nearly as full as to require so high fees, but if they are dynamic, you can wait a little to see if the casino will charge a lower fee soon.
Maybe Pmalek can add "spinly". Withdrawal fees range from very low to ridiculously high.
There are some other names that I need to include in the list as well. I will try to do that in the near future.

I partly agree, but more with the first point than the second. I couldn't care less either about what might be on external websites about a forum account with the nickname FMC aka PP, but nowadays chatbots are better than the most powerful search engine, and they are increasingly being used to search for information, so in part I do understand Vod. On the other hand, I don't think he is totally anonymous, is he? Both Vod and OG do know a few other's personal details, no?

AI Agents are fairly new - there are going to be a lot more people working LoyceV type magic soon. If the administration decides to implement a policy to limit bandwidth, the "agent" will be the first thing to do, since scraping manually or with scripts requires a higher level of skillset than paying for an agent.

So I tried to build a test project - All thanks to LoyceV since he has billions of data dumped. I took data from his -
https://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt and organize it and make it more suitable to visit and check the data.
Since there's thousands of user I've implemented a search bar , if they are not in top 100. I also added a section of 24h Most active user , A section where it will show those who is close to their next rank and recently promoted to their next rank.
I just started the RDP so it will take some time to sync all active user data , close to rank and recently promoted dataAlso it's a test project, there's might be still lot's of space to improve. For now Leaderboard page is almost accurate, I checked it on Bpip also 30D earned merit was accurate .

There is nothing meaningful coming out so AI is pretty much garbage as of now. If you are following AI development you would know that it can turn coins into money but nothing more, purely a tech gig.
I respect your opinion and I hope we all believe the foundation should be built properly before adding on new floors. Hopefully you are correct in the final Grok will disregard the garbage it is trained on but I can't take the chance an organized scam ring can erase me from history.
The point of this thread is to discuss how we can fight such AI misinformation, and I'd like to continue without specific examples that could get the thread deleted. My previous thread was trolled which means it can be wiped from current reality
silently at any time with policy justification, like my last one was. Not just the troll posts - every single factual post by everyone was hidden. If we are all ok with this, then there is no discussion needed.

I dislike most taxes
My governments' greed keeps growing. A few years ago, the "wealth tax" was 1.2% per year. Now it's 2.12%, next year they're planning to increase it to 2.84%. That's a tax on unrealized gains, and I'm pretty sure that's by far the highest wealth tax on the planet.I get why we need taxes, but I don't like how much it went up (over the centuries). Not paying more than 10% tax should be a human right, and I believe 10% should be more than enough for any government to cover the basics. Too much money makes them do many things they shouldn't be doing.
The real theft is in structural inflation, created by central banks. We'd be much better off without it, but the current fiat world is literally based on ever growing debt.
Here in a certain South American country, they want to increase taxes to around 17%. There are no revenue limits for the governments. When you give the system a finger, they'll take your whole arm (and then your whole body).
Until recently, we had an exemption of around $6,000 per month.
Next year, any profits will be taxed up to 17.5%. If I'm not mistaken, brazilian exchanges will be required to auto-deduct these rates.
And regarding the OP, what's the problem with using CoinJoin? Although there're other methods, such as mixers, privacy coin swaps (BTC x XRM - XMR - BTC), and other points raised in this discussion.
I recommend thoroughly researching the service or method before using it,
as one user has already been scammed by a service that claimed to be KYC-free.

LoyceV, maybe you could find a free file hosting service with unlimited downloads that has an API for automated uploads, where you could host at least the most popular files?

But if you have the files on a limited-bandwidth server, then a malicious person can take it down by simply redownloading the files over and over again, that's a weak point.

With "connect", you mean install Electrum server, right?
I have Bitcoin Core running the node, now I have to make it connect to Electrum, that is, install the Electrum Server. Since I'm on Windows, the process is a bit more complex. But it's just a matter of dedicating some time to it.
Unless I find a good offer, it looks like it's going to be after September. By then other Electrum servers may have lowered the minimum, so I may not need to do it anymore.

Hey, the user
Antebot reached out to me, they got proxy banned because they're using a VPN and didn't knew that would block them. Would it be possible to unblock them? They'd like to showcase their product. Thanks in advance

What makes you think a Newbie's first post qualifies to vouch for someone else?
Absolutely fair question. I was just trying to help and explain that they do not want to do any harm here or spam. But can understand that this doesn't mean anything.

A lot of very valuable services have shut down recently. AgoraDesk, eXch, now Majestic Bank.
Majestic Bank definitely had their issues, but they'll still be missed.

Has anyone had any success in finding a server on Electrum, Sparrow, or another popular wallet that supports broadcasting of transactions that pay below 1 sat/vByte?
Nope. I considered upgrading my VPS and adding 1 TB storage to run my own Electrum server, but my webhost "expects new stock in September". I don't really want to delete
this data to free up some space either.
I don't want an expensive server for this, as it's an annual recurring cost to keep it running. Just paying 1 sat/vbyte is probably cheaper, lol.I have the full node on my home PC, so I'm considering configuring Electrum to that node, which will increase privacy and allow for these extra settings. But, I haven't dedicated time to it yet, as soon as I have some time I will do it and share the experience.
When are you planning on paying for this 1TB?

Why would you want to get a loan in paper bitcoin, though?
I don't

But I can imagine bankers coming up with this scenario
for profit.
Why not take a loan in paper dollars, and use them to buy bitcoin? This way, you don't have counterparty risk (bank going bankrupt, or practicing fractional reserve with no reserves), while you do borrow the bitcoin. You're also increasing the supply of dollars, while decreasing the market supply of bitcoin, driving the price up.
I wouldn't invest borrowed money, but I'm risk-averse when it comes to debt.
I wouldn't have the balls, but got a friend who took on a huge loan (about 3x his annual income) and bought BTC @60k.
he is able pay back the full loan + interest with his income over the years while his BTC stash gains value against the fiat he borrowed.
If he looses his job... too bad, his BTC are already on some addresses nobody has access to apart from him.
I really consider it a smart move without too much risk...
Even though you provided some provocative details, I am still feeling that I am missing some important details.
I am presuming that your "friend" took the $60k loan some time in 2024 rather than in 2021?3x annual income is a lot, so then his payments might have had partially depended on the length of the loan and the interest rate, and some loan require incremental payoff during the loan (such as a car payment or a house payment) and others only require minimal payment and a balloon payment at the end (such as credit card promotional loan dealios).
When the guy is in profits, such as right now with the BTC price being right around double the price at the time of the loan, it is looking like a quite great front loading situation, again presuming the loan originated in 2024 and so presuming that the loan had not yet been paid off, so the payoff might still be running until the loan is completely paid off.
If the loan originated in 2021 and if it was like 5 -6 years or more (like the kinds of loans that Saylor negotiated), then even that loan would have worked out o.k... even though there were better times to buy bitcoin both before and after 2021.
By the way, some consumer loans, such as new auto loans can be ridiculously low at the time of origin, and maybe have a 2% loan that has a 5 years duration or something like that.. but yeah, you have a depreciating car that likely is worth 1/2 as much as the purchase price after a couple of years, but yeah if you are getting cash maybe the next best one would be a home equity line of credit, but still those could be 5% or more, but they could be intended for home improvements, yet they might have liberal requirements if the person has a lot of equity in their home. Personal loans might not be able to get under 6% or even under 5 years.. yet i know that there will be regional variance with these kinds of matters.
Hey... why is friend in quotation marks??

It's a
real friend...!!

He bought in Feb 2024 at around 50k-60k
His loan is really longterm. 8 years or more. As long as Bitcoin increases by 30-40%, he is fine. And it already did that.
I think he will have done even better in 8 years from now.

I shamefully took out a loan against my Bitcoin using Coinbase. I wanted to test it out and see how it worked. I decided to buy Solana with it to try out a carry trade since the rates were cooperating. This was a few months ago when SOL was scraping bottom. I’m currently up about $20,000 and have begun paying off the loan. I’ll probably leave the profits staked forever similarly to what I did with ETH after the Hex airdrop… Free passive income forever is cool. As to not completely leave Bitcoin behind from this trade (you can breathe now), I did put some of the profits into a wBTC/SPYx liquidity pool, so I’m also passively earning wrapped Bitcoin as well. All without ever selling a single satoshi.
I mean everybody surely has some play money..
You surely did quite well with it. Congrats!
Didn't understand quite well: You staked ETH with that Hex airdop?
Also I don't know much about the liquidity pools, I guess that is a NYKNYC kinda situation?

65. Post 65618689 (unedited backup) (by milewilda) (scraped on Thu Jul 24 21:11:13 CEST 2025) in The Harsh Truth: Losing Your Keys Means Losing It All Are You Ready?:
One of the greatest strengths of Bitcoin is that it allows individuals to take full custody of their wealth, no intermediaries, no gatekeepers, and no need for permission. But with that freedom comes absolute responsibility.
If you lose access to your private keys or recovery phrase, there is no support line to call, no way to reverse the loss. Your assets become permanently inaccessible, no matter how much they’re worth or how long you’ve held them. It’s a harsh reality. Many people in this space still underestimate until it’s too late.
As adoption grows, it’s crucial that we begin to talk more seriously about secure key management, inheritance planning, and realistic recovery strategies. Writing your seed phrase on a piece of paper and hiding it under your bed may not be enough. Trusting a single individual might also be risky. And for those with significant holdings, not having a plan in place could mean their family loses everything if something unexpected happens.
So I’d like to ask the community how you have personally prepared for the possibility of loss? Do you have an inheritance plan? Have you implemented multisig or other secure fallback systems?
These are uncomfortable conversations, but they’re necessary because Bitcoin won’t forgive a mistake, even if life does.
Its always been that the golden rule when it comes to wallet security or in overall funds or assets that you do have on which if you do forget those keys and having no access to your wallet then say goodbye into your coins and those will be that totally lost forever and its true that people would be only mindful when they had lost up their coins and not totally that mindful or careful when they are still on their normal days. Some people do become that forgetful and some who do become careless on which it would be that resulting into those losing up those access into those keys or totally forgetting it out When it comes to inheritance aspect then the best way I do prefer is on what LoyceV do have.
Using Locktime for inheritance planning, backups or giftsI do consider this one out:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180850.0Always be prepared for those coins to be that able to accessed by your loved ones if ever shit things happen on which we do know that death isnt something that could be known and could happen to us anytime.
It would be just that a total waste if those coins would be ending up on not to be put up in good use or totally useless just because they dont have the access or possessing out those keys.
For you that having some plans or having that kind of being mindful about future things then it would be that ideal on having those preparations.

Yes, it's not about trusting them keeping your money, but more about trusting them offering the exchange service. In my case, I 've not asked the exchanger to hold my funds for me, I just asked them to do a swap. And, since they refused to do the swap, I asked them to return the funds back to me. But they haven't responded... That's unethical, isn't it?
You are quite polite in using the word "unethical" to describe such behavior and the situation in general. This is theft, pure and simple, and I'm very sorry to hear it.
Many Bitcoin casinos and exchanges started this way: some guy creates something nice that gets out of hand, and suddenly they're earning a shitload of money they can't spend legally if they don't become regulated. Quite literally all the exchanges and casinos I first saw when I started in Bitcoin, went from completely anonymous to full KYC or they stopped existing.
That's 99% accurate, we've all seen that happening. However, we knew that this moment would come, even if it's against the fundamental principles of our beloved BTC. And it's more than sad, at least as I see it.
That makes it impossible for any anonymous trusted exchange to exist for a long time.
Unfortunately, this is the sad and bitter truth. As long as Governments and their authorities want everyone to be monitored and controlled in every single action they take, anonymity is out of the picture.

Being completely anonymous makes selective scamming very easy for exchangers: nobody's going to do anything about it.
I know, I don't count on it anymore. It's pathetic that I lost it this way, but it's my fault, for not being careful.
Relative to the thread, I 've already said it, but I am currently too tired trying to prove I am not elephant. To this extent, I don't care if anyone thinks my coins dirty or not, especially if this "anyone" is a pathetic exchange that follows stupid patterns and applies scamming strategies.

Agreed! Only send to exchanges what you want to exchange, and take it out as soon as possible.
And, if it's a large amount, I suggest partial exchanges. You never know...
Some would call it theft.
Definitely! I need this money obviously. It's an important amount for me, it's not trivial. And they have stolen it from me, without even responding to my emails.

IMO, if the paper Bitcoin are backed by real Bitcoin, either ETF or Echange, they count.
If you follow the "NYKNYC" principle, they don't count.
It's a matter of perspective, but also paper Bitcoin holders are Bitcoin holders,

*insert Homer Simpson "so far" meme here*I did not want to send you an smerit to ruin your merit record, then I just said to lil selfie: "Fuck it... .. who gives a shit about numerology?"

Yeah

I don't give a shit about numerology, i kinda make fun of it sometimes, because occasionally numbers do klick in place when playing around with them mathematically.
My mind does this all the time on its own, it also decodes virtual abbreviations from license plates, which is not always that much fun (it's still brainwork, exhausting over longer periods of time) when there is heavy traffic in the other direction. Some numbers just look beautiful (230032) or have meanings (42, 666) and/or are primes. Don't ask

Honestly, thanks for the snip, i appreciate that, but i also made one myself quickly yesterday at 4k Merits

And yes, i played around with the other numbers, trying to extract some "sense" (or nonsense) from them, but no luck this time.
Or maybe i'm just a bad numerologist...
