If anything that proves that casino is probably having troubles with liquidity, and the administration determined it was cheaper for them to move out the country and change of jurisdiction than actually pay what it is due to a single gambler.

And I agree with you, 100k is supposed to be pocket change for a casino, so I cannot come up with other explanation which does not involve lack of liquidity.

This would be the kind of stuff which would make me to close my account after withdrawing all my money and never lock back to a service, to be honest.
It is obvious nobody can become a millionaire thanks to their good luck on that casino.

The data is taken twice, once from "chainstate", second from "blocks". So seems like these are all pubkeys ever but I didn't verified that yet.

It is already huge when compressed it has over 30 GiB.

Nice motive. But the tin be say getting public keys generally for one addresses he go help out for research and also privacy analysis and it also shows the risk of address reuse.
My question be say:  una go  include only used addresses wea get balance or one addresses that exist on blockchain history ? This because the second will be a huge dataset.

Round 18 is now over, here are the results :

Closing price on 12/05/2026 : 80 481$

Name	Prediction	Difference
ESG	80 508,08	27,08
Hypnotizer	80 566,66	85,66
cryptofrka	80 000,00	481,00
xLays	79 967,67	513,33
Leahized	80 999,00	518,00
LoyceV	81 134,20	653,20
Pmalek	81 205,00	724,00

                  

First of all, sorry again about the mess with the block numbers. I did warn you that this was going to be a chaotic contest, but this wasn't intentional.

For this round, we have a winner, and it's ESG again. Someone's going to have to stop him. But in the meantime, here's 50BTC in your account.
And sorry Pmalek, you made a long way in this competition, but this second loss means you are out.

For round 19, we will have another lottery. This time it’s for sure. There shouldn’t be any timing issues. And I have increased the malus a bit.
Don’t forget to spend your BTC to earn small bonuses. Every little percentage point can make a difference, it will be too late once you have been hit with the 2.20% malus.

Round 19 : The real return of the angry blockchain-lottery

What will be the price of Bitcoin at May 18, 2026, 12:00:00 AM (BTC closing price on 17/05/2026) ?
Submit your predictions before May 15, 2026, 06:00:00 PM

Cash shop: OPEN

Special rules :
In addition to the Bitcoin price, you must specify a block number between 949 650 and 949 700.
Each block has a block hash (in hexadecimal of course), and the last character of this hash will determine the bonus or malus you get, according to the following table :

0 - 7 : 0.25% bonus
1 - 8 : 0.55% malus
2 - 9 : 0.50% bonus
3 - A : 1.10% malus
4 - B : 0.75% bonus
5 - C : 1.65% malus
6 - D : Nothing
E : 1.00% bonus
F : 2.20% malus

If you do not provide a block number, your prediction will be invalid.

And for each BTC spent from your account, you earn a 0.01% bonus.
So if you spend 42 BTC, you will receive an additional 0.42% bonus.
And a very special offer : if you spend 97BTC (or more), you will get a 1.10% bonus instead of a 0.97% bonus.
You must spend your BTC before the prediction period ends.

I thought casinos and exchanges preferred to be registered in countries which offered lax regulation on their economical activities and little oversight on their activities. In the end, it does not matter what the business is, business people will always try to register in jurisdictions which are the friendliest to them.
The ideal case scenario would be to have casinos and exchanges to have headquarters in our respective countries, so our local law agencies and governments could serve as third parties to solve issues between the casino and gamblers, in both ways.
But that is pretty much impossible with all the phenomenon of globalization and how some issuers of licenses allow their licensed companies to operate all around the world from their jurisdiction, that is the case of Curaçao, at least.

Also, it would be pretty wild if a casino actually had to flee a country in order not to pay a lucky winner. Very wild.

Have you include P2PK addresses ?

I am doing that like there will be files info.txt and readme.txt, I am pasting them here:

We need "blocks" and "chainstate" folders from Bitcoin Core, fresh, so sync it before doing next things.
Core need txindex=1 in bitcoin.conf file to download chainstate. You may need to start Core with -reindex or something similar.

then:

rsync -avtu --delete /mnt/d/Bitcoin/chainstate/ /home/user/.bitcoin/chainstate/

Change first folder to source, second to target from which you will take data later.

Pubkeys unpacked = 58.24 GiB, packed pigz = 38.12 GiB.

It may spoil the blockchain, Core will need to reindex. Use on copy.

Last: build the below C++ program and run it:

1.
g++ -O2 -std=c++17 btc_addr_pubkey.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -lleveldb -o btc_addr_pubkey
2.
./btc_addr_pubkey --both ~/.bitcoin tmp.tsv
3.
sort  -S80% -u --parallel=30 < tmp.tsv > pubkeys.txt
4.
pigz -9 pubkeys.txt

###

first file is 139 GiB
sorted file is 58.3 GiB
dump takes 40 minutes
sort takes 31 minutes
pigz takes 9m44s
38.13 GiB has output file compressed
Core's blockchain is spoiled, make backup!

###

This dump's timestamp is for 2026-05-08 09:15:41 CEST.

###

I can share btc_addr_pubkey.cpp file later.

It was Claude AI's work. C++ code should be on LoyceV's site later.

Just based on curiosity, op asked for all public keys with addresses that begin with 1 , how exactly are you able to pull up this data? Is it from the node you run or something totally different? I'm asking because what actually came to mind is public keys of addresses that have actually made a transaction.

Well I may be wrong though but what I'm thinking is you can only pull up Data from addresses that have made at least a single transaction because of the data they share with node... Where could I be wrong though?

Those labels are perfectly accurate, down to the day. I know because I remember when I switched versions.

Your observation is correct, as soon as I downgrade back to 28.1, the writes are reduced significantly, back to their prior trend (20 GB/day).

Perhaps it is related to the new consensus rules, but I don't really understand why that would be related to this. I'd assume it would be some other change that is causing the indexer to work harder. But I don't know what.

Also, regarding this comment by LoyceV:

"Even the lower value of 20 writes per day is high, with sufficient RAM I'd expect it to be a lot less."

Keep in mind that this is total system disk writes, not only the node, but also the indexer (Fulcrum). The indexer is responsible for most of those. Would the indexer be writing less if the system had more RAM?

I can test this with 16 GB of RAM next weekend, but I doubt this is the problem, considering the task manager isn't showing high RAM utilization and I'm not aware of what the newer versions of Knots would be doing that would require so much more.

Thanks for help!
This link is showing me unresponsive and more time take loading then stoped my be somethigns not work,,
can you check please 👉 https://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt

I'm not sure if it's actually his ram.
Because in the graph that he provided, the disk usage reduced again when he downgraded his client on the unaffected version and then spiked again after another upgrade.
If it's hardware, any of those versions should exhibit similar performance issues.

@OP how, accurate are those client version labels i the graph?

I'm not using Knots to help you accurately but those versions have BIP110 activated, perhaps it has something to do with its new consensus.

For additional information, UTXO/chainstate size passed 8GB in middle of 2023[1]. That's why the total write suddenly skyrocket. It's when Ordinal gaining popularity, so Fulcrrum also works harder to index more address and UTXO.

FortuneJack acquired a different license. They were licensed in Curacao and later switched to a State of Anjouan license. There were general issues with Cucarao Master Licenses at the time. It also affected other crypto casinos that remained unlicensed for a time or switched jurisdictions because of those issues to something like Anjouan.

I have no idea if FortuneJack ran away because of this court case and judgement, because of the general problems with Curacao licenses, or a combination of the two.

I checked that his post was detected as AI-generated.

Previously, if I remember correctly, the search function was effected. Just tested it, and now when I click an user from the ""Favorite profiles to send sMerit to", the runtime error is triggered.

This part is broken now, maybe later something else will. Who knows..

Which server is that? i.e V3 KVM Slices, V2 KVM Slim Slice, V2 KVM Fat Slice, etc...

I was thinking about getting their new V3 KVM Slices since they say it has "320% more performance per $ compared to last offer", but I can only see 32 RAM / 32 cores / 960 GB NVME (and for $34/month).

I just updated the IP, it is working again.

I can change the IP anytime when you get the old one back!

I picked the same RAM and CPU options, but I wasn't able to find a hybrid disk option when I signed up so I went with 2TB of NVMe disk space.  But yes, agreed, the price for these options is unbeatable from what I've seen.

Frustration and vexation..

Well, it looks like summer time has screwed me over again, I should have planned for a wider time frame. It’s my fault.
I’m canceling the lottery part, we will do it again in the next round. Sorry for that.

I see. Thanks for the information. I'll wait and see how it looks in a few days.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware. I see now that they have an active flag to their name with enough support. It was created by the user PaperWallet that you mentioned. Interestingly, I remember this individual from some past cases but in a negative context. I will take a look at the case and remove FortuneJack if the scam has been proven and the player doesn't receive the money he is owed.

Thanks!

I'm considering doing something like that. But I'd also like to be useful to the community; I just don't know the best approach to take yet.

Generally gambling is allowed in the USA and with many physical casinos there, I believe gambling won't be banned in the USA. Gambling legality in the nation depends on states but generally it is not restricted too severely. In Europe, like in the UK and some nations such as Netherlands, governments tightened their regulations on gambling advertisements. LoyceV said that he no longer is ready to wear signature of gambling casino because of that new regulation in his nation.

Tell me if I need to change anything in your subdomain CNAME settings  . I think i might need to add the new server information,  if it changes

thanks for always keeping us up to date here!
i had been using your Electrum server up until this downtime and now i've switched over to DireWolfM14's server for the time being while yours is down - i hope you'll forgive me

Time flies so fast, and it's nice to see that you can update old threads if you have any updates on them.

We have all been there. There are some cringy posts that I dare not go back to!

Any post that struck your interest?

A decade ago... We all changed a lot. Bitcoin also changed, it isn't a shady internet money anymore, it is already mainstream, I see about it everyday in many different newspapers.

Sometimes I think about how my behavior changed in the forum a long those years.

Nice website!

I am using your electrum server LoyceV. I have used 2 weeks ago to make a consolidation of signature campaign addresses . 

About 40 UTXO consolidated a 0.2 sat/vB for just $ 0.46.

I think it is worth making consolidations now, we don't know for how long fees will remain so low

satoshi UID = 3 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

They launched PBTC after Bitcoin Purple in 2023. They entered the mining market and look at the performance based on what we did; look at the block date. They are based on SOLANA. They literally copied the project and launched it publicly first because they had access to capital, which is totally opposite to the initial proposal of Bitcoin, among other things. If you do an analysis, you'll see.

The quantum revolution is out, Op and LoyceV are going to lead that race here in the forum. We could all be mega rich here if things go well.

I have seen the data of all addresses having bitcoin and its importance, but I can't figure out the importance of this, except for sophisticated analysis.

Then you'd better think about maintaining a database of addresses with non-zero balances and keeping it up to date.

Because the quantum threat is about cracking transaction signatures using Shor's algorithm. It is also related to addresses whose public keys have already been revealed through spending transactions in the blockchain.
It is not about deriving a private key directly from a public key or a Bitcoin address.

The original idea makes no sense. Sorry guys, but that's the truth.

That's changed my perspective about this coin; it's now worthless with no value. The developer simply moved the Purple from the beginning to the end.
No uniqueness and obviously just made only for pump and dump.

I'm not sure why the developer doesn't use Coinmarketcap or Coingeko if the names already exist.

I've reported this user before because her posts are similar to this user's, SableTeacup. They both use "i" for "I," spam emoticons, and both are fake"mining expert".

Are you sure you told LoyceV about this? I do not believe because he has not posted anything yet about it as people are going against it. For what purpose will this be useful? I can get my public keys on my self-custody wallet or use a tool to get my public keys but which I am not interested in.

I remember about that incident where many people complained about losing their BTC for Connecting Their Wallets with a Website that airdropped Bitcoin holders because they were going to Fork,
the phenomenon was called the "Bitcoin Fork Frenzy" and many Forks happened at that time.

Some examples of cases that occurred when the appearance of the Bitcoin GOLD Fork was a fake ClaimBTCGPU site which left many Bitcoin owners trapped which was said to be a place to claim Bitcoin GOLD
but in fact it was just a phishing website that would take over the user's connected wallet.

Now you should be more vigilant and even if the fork is done officially there will be no guarantee whatsoever, let alone the fork wallet that has been hacked.

With LoyceV we are going to put publicly all public keys for all 1... addresses.
I made the process and code, LoyceV will put it on his server.

Let us know if you are generally interested in public keys for all addresses.

Data will come from "blocks" and "chainstate" folders from Bitcoin Core.

Yeah but they will probably expand to more countries in future, but I usually dont recommend free vpn services long term.
I said before that he can always use Tor or Brave browser-with-Tor as the second best options.

I have been saying people for a while to stay away from proton VPN, they are most likely government honeypot.

It's probably going to get more hype as it gets closer.
All these forks are about making the people who create them more money.

But as with most forks there will be some support.

Enough for exchanges to list it? Who knows.
Enough that if it is listed it will be worth the time & effort to dump it? Who knows.

Screwing a bit with knots / 110 due to it happening at around the same time. Yes. So there is that positive.

-Dave

Are you saying you can sell few ones? I would like this offer but I am not in the US.

I did not mind about Bitcoin forks so did not know about this "new eCash" but scammers actually never stop their scams. They're super lazy and pretty stupid, so don't hope that their forks can make fork investors rich.

A guide from LoyceV for anyone who want to claim Bitcoin forks but I think it is risky and is not worth to try.

Thank you @LoyceV

If you can buy 50usd or 100usd a week or more you will stack a pile of btc.

Your age matters. I am 69 so time is not on my side.

But if you are 35 and buy 100 a week for 10 years  never selling just buy the 100 a week and hold.

Past history says you will do well.

Always remember past history does not always get it right. So you could do 100x52x10=52000 usd after 10 years and not be ahead.

That's life for us all risk is there.

Ow, I thought I now got a special 'end of the world card'... but, no...

I'll choose the first eliminated, Mr Magkaisa, if he doesn't want to come back the second eliminated and so on.

No, Wait!, X lays help me>>>


So I'll choose him, if he doesn't want to come back, come back in the first option Mr Magkaisa, and so on...

No. I'm using a different wallet currently not Electrum. It probably has coin control too but I haven't tempered with it yet because I don't want to mess things up. I might test it later with a separate wallet since Electrum does dust avoidance by default. But what do I risk if someone purposely send me dust? Is it just paying a higher fee when I try to consolidate later or there is a risk of privacy too since it links my address together?


Thank you for the reference link. With the DCA, one ends up with a lot of sats UTXO from exchange withdrawal. For someone with around 50 UTXO and thousand sats each, which is more better between batching and one shot consolidation when fee is around 0.28 sat/vB? Assuming I batch 20 at a time over some days, I will definitely pay a bit more in total fees but it won't link all 50 input together on chain but if I do it all at once it's more cheaper but the UTXO is obviously a private link. What do you recommend for someone who want to balance fee saving and chain analysis?

All links are looking useful for any newbie like me thanks.
I am a complete newbie with some knowledge of Bitcoin through friends, now learning and trying to understand. I want to buy weekly because this is going to help me in the long run.

Hopefully in the near future I will again join here for more understanding because it's looking promising for savings and long-run investments.

Round 17b is now over, here are the results :

Closing price on 06/05/2026 : 81 425$

Name	Prediction	Difference
ESG	80 808,08	616,92
LoyceV	80 350,67	1 074,33
cryptofrka	80 000,00	1 425,00

examplens	78 459,00	2 966,00

                  

Sorry, examplens, it's your turn to leave us, because by not being bullish enough, you have just lost your last life. You join the eliminated players. But don't go too far.

Congratulations, ESG ! By being even more bullish than the so-called “most bullish” among you, you are the big winner of this turbulent round. Here are 50BTC in your account.
And as promised, you will now be able to take part in a grand experiment.
Thanks to a few drops of your blood and the hard work of my teams, you will be able to bring someone back from the dead. Yes, even more powerful than God himself.
So ESG, give me the name of one of the eliminated players, and that person will be able to return to the game with just one life.
Which of these people do you want to bring back :

Name

Mr. Magkaisa

Doan9269

promise444c5

xLays

examplens

Choose wisely.

(If one of the eliminated players does not want to come back, feel free to say it quickly)

Yes, it’s probably because not all internet providers have implemented the restriction yet. Or since this is the Philippines, it’s also possible that some ISPs are just ignoring it or haven’t received any official notice to block bitcointalk. lol
I’ve been using Proton VPN (free version) for years, which is why I was still able to access bitcointalk when I was at my cousin’s house. Originally, I started using VPN mainly for gambling related sites.

@Findingnemo So yeah, it’s very likely that bitcointalk is being blocked or flagged because it’s mistakenly categorized as a gambling site rather than a forum.

Agreed
The timing isn't great either. It would do much better if the mempool was clogged.

That's a good point though there's no other way to dump that shitcoin

OP, if you're testing stuff, why don't you use Testnet3 or Testnet4 coins which are supposed to be worthless? There are faucets where you can basically get Testnet coins for free and could have enough for testing a lot of transactions, e.g. at https://altquick.com/faucet/.


Mara's Slipstream service is in the meantime defunct for quite some time for whatever reasons. They also don't respond (at least to me) if you write to their support contact address provided on the maintencance landing page.

And this exactly explains why we can have a totally empty block and by empty block I'm referring to one with no transactions so long the block is valid and has been successfully hashed other nodes have to add it for extra validation and I think it was where using bitcoin Knox was trying to be different.

Most of them are still leaving high fee rates which makes dust limit higher. Ordinarily I was almost becoming certain that 1000 sats as the minimum till LoyceV shocked me with a 100sat transaction through his node.

Yeah, Librewolf is also great and it follows Firefox release closely, but you won't have firefox VPN available there

I wouldn't touch surfshark vpn with a stick.

Some people still care, otherwise we wouldn't have open source bitcoin wallets, linux OS, etc.

Tell me about it... smartphones are a nightmare.
We need comeback of old style minimal phones.

Hey, try to understand the main point, I'm making it simple, actually the full form of DCA is Dollar Cost Averaging. As far as I know, the main goal of this strategy is to buy regardless of the price for a certain period of time.

Visit this link to find out all the unknown information you need about DCA.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): What It Is, How It Works, and Example https://share.google/yPIMvufxmdabnT0hz

sure wait a minute

 Today is always a good day to buy.  Yesterday was the second best day to buy.

You read this thread by JJG,will be helpful for you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5376945.0

A good piece of advice!

If you are following this, then you don't need to worry much about the price tag, especially when you are planning to enter the market for the long term using DCA. As all that time, you will keep getting the price on different ranges, which, as a result, if you are buying consistently after a fixed period of time, you will be reaching at such end where you will make a good profit from it because of a good average buying at different price.

Thanks for the explanation about this. Please, can you give more details or a link where I can find more about this because it's looking interesting and workable for me.

Depends on the mood.

Anyway, my favourite member is LoyceV, and I think I've indirectly expressed this feeling a couple of times in different threads but never openly said this. What I find amazing about him is his ability to stay away from controversies and parties and all other stuff that goes on in this forum. I have been observing the forum since the day I joined, and I've never seen the guy having a beef with any member at all. He is just always straightforward, but he doesn't use that to annoy anyone, and he always stands for the right and opposes the wrong.

Btw, this is not bootlicking or anything like that, it's just my personal opinion about him, and I have never had a direct conversation with him in my entire journey in this forum.

There was a funny story in South Korea.
The tax authorities published photos of the seized wallets and seed phrases, but
the wallet contained PRTG tokens, which had a 24h volume of several hundred dollars.
The blockchain explorer shows the token price at almost 5 million, but it's practically impossible to sell.

Government officials don't know how to handle digital currency, but the crypto exchange has vast experience.

Yes it does -> In case of doubt, in favor of the defendant.
What you expect is proof that can't be provided promptly. In addition it's not objective an anyone can interpret “enough” however they like and expand it to infinity. The approach seems wrong to me.

To be clear, i am only speaking out against negative trust, as it no longer seems justified after an old address has been verified.
