I think they are afraid that this action will backlash on other members since SWC can interfere on the result of the game in favor to long term player in case they find it unfair through collusion.

This problem is serious if a user is wrongly accused of doing the violation. I’m not trying to accused SWC for doing such thing but this is the common reaction of gamblers once they saw this kind of action by the casino.

I agree that they should just show evidence to debunk all accusations for transparency and to justify their action.

Yes, that's the case. Thank you! So it was actually FixedFloat again that was involved in that controversy. I forgot that. I also made a mistake when I said that they used a mixer to mix the coins. They didn't. They spent them with other coins and sent them to other customers.

Unbelievable. On the one hand they give one person a hard time, saying their crypto is dirty and needs to be checked. On the other, they use the same crypto to send it to a different customer who used their exchange.

Here is mine for some more inspiration...

Someone posts a code tag with the raffle settings to activate the bot: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467037.msg62857234#msg62857234

And the bot starts a raffle, automatically taking care of all entries: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467037.msg62857236#msg62857236

Posting the final result after the deadline has passed, using the next bitcoin block hash: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467037.msg62999246#msg62999246

wow in 2017!!

tell me the truth now, don't lie @LoyceV, we are friends now and you can tell me if you are an AI or an alien.
Someone like you can't be human
 

There is another way around it. Just put everyone whose posts you find to be spam on ignore. My ignore list has been so large for years that it doesn't even open when I try to access it.


Because you also say things like this:


You're right. He could have ranked up 16 Legendary accounts with the amount of merits he's accumulated. But he doesn't account farm because he has a little something called "integrity."

Although using 12! permutations is correct for estimating the number of ways to arrange 12 words, it's not an accurate estimate for the number of valid BIP39 seed phrases you can generate from them. There are two  points one have to take into account: 1) in the valid  BIP39 seed phrase the last word encodes the checksum 2) seed phrase may contain duplicates. Thus the actual number of valid seed phrases you can build from the given set of 12 BIP39 words depends on the specific words and is hard to estimate in general case.

They hold the money as long as they want. They can make requests for the customers to upload various types of documents and proof until they come to an obstacle that they can't overcome or they refuse to participate in the charade any longer. The exchange will then say that the money will be kept until the user does what is asked of them. There was a case not that long ago where an exchange was caught sending confiscated money to a mixer to obscure its history. That shows clear intent that the idea was never to return it to the rightful owner but keep it for themselves. I can't remember which service it was that did that but I think it was @LoyceV who discovered it.

Who can you complain to if the exchange is registered and regulated by an entity in the Seychelles or the Bahamas?! Good luck with that!

This thread isn't about a casino.

I can't promise, but I'll try to leave something good before I leave.

The goal of this thread is to make those serious becomes less spam post to easily arrived to conclusions without the butting in post.

Other boards are not considered serious because it doesn’t contain risk.


How come do you arrive on this conclusion. I even requested to you for investigation on accounts that obviously abusing merit to farm their accounts. This is happening on many local boards.

I only don’t want injustice by bullying small time cheater while there’s a blatant cheating happening in the form of merit jerker which is legally working on campaigns that handled by campaign manager that consider only merit count rather than where the merit get.

You can tag as many as you want. I never said what you said. My goal is not to stop fighting cheaters rather focus on what is blatantly merit jerking.

---

I don’t buy that other account ranking fast because they are a good poster. They ranking fast because they are an alt account of established member that knew already how to farm merit.

I’m generalizing but those local boards regular poster peeps is highly suspicious.

---

Someone with same intellect with @LoyceV can do multiple account and farm merit easily with those boards.

Again, I’m only using @LoyceV as example because he is the most established user here and the best example for high intellect user.

You can simply continue from your nullius account. You have good conversation skills, write well, have ability to write with logics, not an one liner ass hole like Vod who always looks to harass others. You already have done well from that account. If you were continuing like you did then you would have more merit than LoyceV [if you care fit it at all].]

No, only private members, specific users, can message me only.

I assume the padding of OP's 12 mnemonic recovery words with additional 38 words to get some grid of 50 words was meant as some sort of disguise or hiding in plain sight or puzzle (for whom?). Using 38 words that don't belong to the mnemonic wordlist doesn't make sense, as it would be trivial to separate the recovery words from the padding words.

I repeat myself: don't do such things without proper documentation. It's a trap or recipe for future desaster as we see it here in this topic.


Now that we know the number is 50, OP states clearly for me, they are seedphrase words, i.e. are words from mnemonic wordlist. Or is my interpretation wrong?

Isn't that a wonderful idea of having a whitelist option now?

As per the description, if you add "*" it will ignore "all" the messages (incoming messages probably).
If you put a username, then that specific user only will be ignored.

But that would the most ignored user in this forum if everyone follows same settings. 

Thank you for this, Hatchy! I notified LV about your translation.

I am sending my warm welcome to Zwei and khaled0111
Porf: this is a small observation only... -- I saw that on first row of our OP you mentioned the Arabic back-up translator and the main one is located on third row. Don't you think that the main translator should be listed first...?


I will do it ASAP, but after you check my suggestion, to not do the work twice.

---

Well, this truly is a sign of appreciation and I am more than glad and proud to see that our work crossed over the borders of our forum. I did not expect that and now, seeing it, I believe that all AOBT users should be proud of all the work we did in all this time!

Thank you for these words, dragonvslinux! That was very considerate of you.

P.S.: I did not know you were the Global Mod from ALTT.
P.S.2: just curious... why did Lauda give you that red tag? I checked the ref link, but it's a topic with 119 pages (!!!) -- and I didn't stay to read them all, for seeing where your name was involved...

Bot you really need to stop picking up a line or two from topics where your lines are not even close to the topic idea. Don't you think I know about the forum as much as you do?

You don't even read posts, followed post and other things but come with suggestion to fix others. Have you read where the original topic was posted? Of course not.

Vod is the perfect example to use to prevent this type of feedback leaving practice and aware others so that they can use their DT voting correctly. This make it a "Discussion about the Bitcoin Forum"

Translated Topic in Pidgin Language; use BIP38 to take encrypt BIP39 seed phrase
Original Topic: Using BIP38 to encrypt BIP39 seed phrase
Author: LoyceV

---

---

I don get dis idea for years, and I go fit complete am nau big shout out to  WanderingPhilospher wey dey help find vanity addresses.

BIP38 encryption
Ever since I read I dey BIP38 curious, abeg help me out!, I don dey impressby BIP38 encryption. Dat topic show say $1000 no go dey enough to crack password "zLwMiR" in 2 years, even after many hints. E jus too dey expensive in terms of computing di power to take brute-force even a simple password.

Encrypting seed words
I no con de feel comfortable with di balance between how I go take keep di seed seed phrase safe and how I no go take lose access myself. E de always feel like say na loose guard.

So, how about we combine di two?

BIP38 meets BIP39
Na di idea be dis: BIP39 uses 2048 words. In loyce.club/other/keys.txt (which you fit copy for yur air-gapped computer), you go find am not compressed Legacy Bitcoin address for every of di BIP39 words. Every Bitcoin address dey starts wit a word, separated from di rest of di address by number.
Example:
abandon: 1AbANDon25kw25M4ioLdPfLxZ1FCwzF8DY 5JDY3hzX2GnBbbExHaXjnbsjoPeFBQko9WxtaTGMi2GhYRBjtsb
If you encrypt dis private key, you dey encrypt d word "abandon".

Why?
I dey like use simple tools wey been dey around bifor bifor. Di two BIP38 and BIP39 dey quite intuitive, di two fit easily be handled on di air-gapped computer wey no go ever go online again, di two dey suppored by many wallets, and di two fit easily dey confirm from scratch bifor funding any of di addresses wey it creates. Work dey to much for dis, but I no go mind as dis go gives me long-term peace of mind and I no go dey do dis every time. I no go mind dat e go takes me a few hours to do am properly.

Example
IanColeman's site naem give me dis mnemonic:
Dat gives di following words from my list:

For dis proof of concept, I go use "LoyceV" as (very weak) password:
Print di above go be my backup.

How?
Start wit a proper air-gapped offline system. Any old laptop wey get 8 GB RAM go do am. If you no get any one, you go find second hand laptop for less dan di price of a decent new hardware wallet. Remove yur ethernet cable, close di curtains. If you dey suspicious, you fit physically comot all di hard drives and di Wireless modules.
Get a Linux LIVE DVD, use Ubuntu, Knoppix or Tails for example. I dey prefer DVD over USB so dat I go dey sure sey nothing dey save. I use exteral DVD drive wit a Knoppix DVD wit dis boot-option:
After you load am wit dis option, di DVD drive go be remove.

Hardware
You go also need printer. Not wireless one o, but di one wit old fashion cable wey good. I dey like old Laser printer wey cheap. If e too dey new, chances dey sey e no go dey support by yur Linux LIVE DVD. Test am before you continue.

Software
Use USB stick (or jus burn anoda DVD) to copy bitaddress.org (look for di Github link), Ian Coleman's Mnemonic Code Converter and keys.txt to yur air-gapped system. Use Tor Browser to download to take improved it privacy. I never test d command line software for BIP38 encryption and decryption yet. Dis go make am go faster, but as for dis post I go dey use di basic tools.
Open "Bitaddress" in Firefox, and go to di Wallet Details. Depending on yur Live Linux you go need to enable di scripts to run di browser. Enter di private key, tick "BIP38 Encrypt?", and enter di passphrase. Encryption dey take time (na di reason why we dey do dis).
E dey up to you if you wan use different passwords for each seed word, but it likely dey safer to use jus one. If you wan make am dey more difficult, jus make it longer.
Scroll down to get di BIP38 encrypted private key (start am wit 6PR).

Check am if di private key make di correct seed word. If mistake dey for my keys-list, make una let me know.
Depend on di Linux DVD you dey use, you go likely find LibreOffice or at least AbiWord. Use dis to temporarily store di BIP38 encrypted seed words. Add numbers for yur own convenience. Switch the page direction to landscape, choose a fixed width font, and make di font large enough to tek fill di entire page with keys (a small font make am difficult to separate di characters in for example 8BB88B8BB8B, S55SS5S5S5 or KXXKKXKKXK).
Print am, print am again, and laminate am. Store am well.

No mess up when you dey handle seed phrase and creat backups for yur future wealth. Make plenty backups!

Check, and double check am
And check again! Better to dey safe better pass dan dey sorry. Confirm am and mek sure sey you fit restor yur seed phrase from yur backup from scratch (and so on freshly restart air-gapped computer).
Tek time to tek type all di encrypted keys to an air-gapped computer to dey sure sey you fit restor yur backup from yur paper backup. Blind typin dey helps a lot.
As you dey do am: na di good time to tek use your air-gapped system to confirm am you fit use Ian Coleman's Converter to make anoda one as di same Bitcoin address as yur wallet give you. Dis one should work, and by testing it before you need am you know for sure sey you fit make anoda keys if you need am.

Remember
MAKE YOU NO lose guide yur password! As di BIP38 curious-topic tek show, you no go be able to brute-force am (which, after all, na di reason you dey use encryption). E fit good to keep anoda backup anyway, for example wey u go stamp yur seed phrase to iron washers. Dis go allow you to keep backups for di same seed for different places wit different danger level.

Why no jus extend di seed phrase wit passphrase?
"Jus" a passphrase (dey also call am13^th/25^th word) e no add strong encryption if somebody find yur seed word backup. Besides, you fit still add a passphrase to yur BIP38 encrypted seed phrase.

Work dey progress
Make I know if dey get anything wey I dey miss, and I go add am to dis quick guide. E no be fool-proof yet, olodo people wey no understand wetin dem de do make dey no dey handling private keys.

No spam abeg.
Make we dey control ourselves against spam. Yur discussions and questions dey welcom.

warning
I go hope say I no go need tell anybody not to put money for any of di addresses wey dey my keys-list, but any way me I go do am: if you put money for dem, pesin go move yur money. Like within seconds.

serene vod, I have no reason to have it with you or to fight again, once we understand each other
Unfortunately I am an instinctive and passionate person, so I lose patience easily and become angry easily
but with the same ease I return to normal

this character of mine has its strengths and weaknesses as always
once we understood each other and made things clear for me it was as if nothing had happened

thanks to everyone, the fact that you always check for me is a source of pride, I often point it out to others as a sign of a community that works

Yeah, Babo didn’t need to be defended by me, but friends are friends.
The most important thing is that the situation has returned to a peaceful state, and I’m glad you were able to own up to your mistakes.
Alright guys, now all that’s left is to share a virtual beer together and put this whole thing behind you.

In regards to my last post, modern investigations techniques have changed so much - I could never be a detective today.   I've always known I have impulse controls, but as long as I didn't leave questionable trust in the moment, I felt OK.   There is nothing wrong with an occasional show of consequence to maintain the rules, and I left that feedback knowing it would probably lead to the feedback removal and an apology not to do it again.    That indeed was the result and I don't think anyone will try that again (soon).

I want to apologize to nutildah for believing he caused drama - it was my action that caused babo's reaction.   I also want to apologize to Lillominato89, who was defending his friend that should not have needed to be defended.

Long story short - things have changed and I'm able to move on to Project Development.  I will still watch for scams and leave appropriate trust, but I will no longer assume trust is needed until it has been investigated.    That was the cause of all this; if I am too lazy to investigate or verify, I should not be picking and choosing examples.  I should also not assume everyone will react as I expect.   Sorry babo. 

 

I can try to do that, but I don't think it makes much sense, because this is not a simple "bump".

If no one made posts on this topic, I would make a post every month with the statistics from the previous month. It doesn't make sense for me to respond to a user and then be limited in making a subsequent post, just because no one responds.

I think that each case is different, and not everything should be analyzed in the same way. It's just my opinion.




Exactly. This doesn't make things better, it just partially solves the situation.



I don't want to go against the work of the moderators. I just think that the forum is dynamic, and each case should be evaluated in different ways. But maybe that's just my point of view, I'm sorry.

Hehe, I also saw Joker's post and thought about doing that, but you were quicker 

---

Joker, with the blackout that happened in Portugal and Spain on April 28th and 29th, did you have any problems with the servers?
Regarding the improvements you mentioned for the coming months, I'm curious here as your site has been working very well, I really like that the “height” is already included and I don't have to type it every time to adjust the size

You don't need to apologise Hatchy thank you for your translations. Let us know when you finish the one you're working on.

Dear AoBTers,

Our OP has been updated and now Zwei and khaled0111's summary appears in our Hall of Fame (CONGRATULATIONS!!!). Thank you mindrust for the help

Please, let's update our respective local ANNs with that new info.

Archive.org has been collecting data since 2015, but there is no data before that. Bitcointalk has not stored any data before 2015, so it is not possible to get the data before that gap.

Actually, I have not found any method that you want to know about. Like you, I have also tried to find out if there is any such method, but I have not found any spikes after recharging a lot. I have discussed these technical issues a lot within my friend circle, but finally, I have not found any such medium. However, I'm trying to see if there is any way to collect the data. If I find any such medium, I will let you know.

Maybe you noticed that one member was recently kicked out of signature campaign because he edited his posts and made big changes in them before week ending.
Nobody should not be forced to delete, copy-paste and edit their posts all the time if they want to bump the topic for some reason.
In my opinion this is not breaking any forum rules, but I would like to hear opinion of theymos and other moderators ^{(except mprep)}.

I would not change anything related with signatures, and I doubt making changes for those two boards would make any positive changes at all.

That is probably true, but I noticed Scam Accusation board quality has gone down a lot in last few years.
I remember the time when I visited this board daily to find important warning or to post something.

If you're the topic's OP or designated by the topic's OP as the user who bumps their topic, you post it as a regular bump-like post (at max once every 24 hours) and once it's no longer relevant (no longer your newest bump-like post), you merge any old consecutive bump-like posts. If the contents of your bump-like post is substantial (as opposed to the functional equivalent of "bump" or "up"), you can do so periodically / once in a while (as opposed to each time a bump-like post is no longer the newest). As not cleaning up substantial (content quality wise) bump-like posts is one of the least serious rule violations (AFAIK only seeing enforcement through merges but no punishment, that is if they were posted with at least 24 hours in between each other), you could also just leave it up for a moderator to clean up.

If you're not the topic's OP or designated by the topic's OP as the user who bumps their topic and the last post made in the thread was yours, you have to edit in any new content into said post or wait till someone else posts. Posting consecutive posts if you're not OP (or designated by OP) is a more serious rule violation and repeated (recent) violations will result in a ban.

Lost profits from signature campaigns and more work for signature campaign managers aren't valid justifications for rule violations, especially considering that quite a few of your merged posts were either violating rule 32 (consecutive posts as non OP, often within the same day; e.g. [1] [2] [3]) or rule 13 (bumping your thread more than once every 24 hours; e.g. [1] [2]).

God, that would be a thing now days... my bad, I thought I got caught again

just ping, and reserved for future

@LoyceV
@examplens
@vod
@nutildah
@TryNinja
@mprep

I actually want to apologize to babo. I had no idea bringing this up would cause any sort of drama. Since the account he left the red trust on has been inactive since 2021, the action of leaving the trust was harmless either way. It just caught my eye because a new entry appeared on LoyceV's list maintained in this thread. Anyway, I'm glad the situation has now been resolved.

Thank you for sharing the link to loyce.club. Although I have bookmarked it before, I have also saved the links to many of your important posts.

You have done well by starting in 2020. I don't know if finding out what happened before is possible. If it were possible, then something could have been done about them. For now, I will follow you, and I have taken the initiative to create and publish graphs from 2020 from the link here.

While the main reason for merging posts is to reduce the overall size of content posted by the same user whenever possible while maintaining general consistency of the rules, I now see that perhaps I was too overzealous in doing so for old posts. In the future, I'll generally refrain from merging old (as per what would be considered old when reporting a post) posts.

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Alright. Here we are. Finally made it. Thanks @NotATether  and @LoyceV
I have now shifted the whole setup to my laptop which will continue running for as long as I can.
Will start setting up the lightning node soon.

it is because he sees "ck" in the coinbase tag so he assumes it's ckpool the one ownerd and maintain be ck but the tag is there because people use ckpool's software which is open-source and ready to deploy for most use cases.

Hello AOBT gangs, sorry for joining late. I've just completed my translation of LoyceV topic, here a link
[MAY 2025] fees dey low, try consider consolidate your small input @1.00 sat/vb

I'll be working on that of d5000 be for the week runs out. 

Original post: [May 2025]Fees are low, think about Consolidating your small inputs @1.00 sat/vb

Author:LoyceV

---

---

Background
Any time wey Bitcoin network dey full, d fee dey always high well well. Many wallet go come dey use “different fee”  meaning say dem dey compete with each other for fast transaction. Dis one dey make d fee dey go up even more. E never too tay when person go need pay more than 600 Satoshis for every byte before their money go quick reach where e dey go.
D result be say: dis board go come full with many talk talk like. "my money don dey hang for 2 weeks, abeg help me". For now, dat kind post no dey again, and na why I open dis topic wey dey opposite.

Example
Like 18 days ago, one person make dis transaction wey be 4909 bytes with 33 different input and e pay 510 Satoshis for every byte as fee. After e pay d fee finish, d 0.033BTC wey e use, turn to 0.0079539BTC. If e do d same transaction now wey d fee be 20 Satoshis for every byte, e for save 0.024BTC. Instead of just get 0.0079539BTC, e for end up with four times more money.

Opportunity
For like one week now, d fee dey very low again. For some months now, even transaction wey dey use 1 Sat/byte, dem fit confirm am in 1hr.
If u don dey collect faucet before,u go likely get plenty input around 0.000xBTC. Some weeks ago, anything wey dey less than 0.001BTC no even reach to pay for fee. If U use very low fee now,u fit gather all those small small inputs wey dey as low as 2000 Satoshis (0.00002BTC).

E good for everybody
If u make big transaction wey d fee high when network dey full, u dey take up plenty space for d block wey scarce. Dis one dey make d network full pass before.
But if you make big transaction when d network no full,u dey prepare yourself so dat u go fit make small small transaction when d network full again, without saying U add to d problem.

Gather ur small input together
If u get plenty small small inputs, now na d perfect time to gather all of dem put for one place. If u no dey rush make ur transaction confirm, u fit set very low fee and just wait. Once e confirm, u fit send ur money for inside one small transaction, which mean say u go save plenty money for fee if u wan make transaction when fee don high again. If u get enough small small inputs, you fit save up to 95% or even more on fee.

How to do am
Now d hard part be say; e depend on d wallet wey u dey use. D easy way na to just send all d money wey dey ur wallet go one new address inside ur own wallet. Just make sure say u set d fee by yourself.
Me, I prefer to "Enable coin control" for Bitcoin Core, u fit do am for Electrum too. Choose d money wey you want use, and leave those very small small money wey no reach anything (like 0.00001BTC, because d fee go still pass d money). Then just send all d money wey you select go one new address wey U get.
If u get plenty input, I go suggest make you gather dem small small. No go create transaction wey be 100,000 bytes with 500 different input inside, but instead make plenty transaction wey get like 20 input inside each of dem.
If ur wallet no allow u to set ur own fee, and/or to use coin control,u fit carry ur private key commot and import am for inside another wallet wey dey support am. But dat one na something we go talk about another time.

Privacy
If u gather ur different input together, e go show for d blockchain say all of them dey link together. Dis one no go different if u use d same money for any other transaction, but u need to think about am well before u do am.

SegWit
User Wind_FURY find one correct way wey dem take dey reduce transaction fee, including how to use SegWit address.

Fee check check
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,1w (thank you pooya87)
https://coinb.in/#fees dis site go let you choose d money wey u wan use and where u dey send am to see how big d transaction go be (in bytes)
https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx
https://estimatefee.com (e dey recommend fee after u set how many blocks u want make e confirm within (Update April 6, 2019: d recommendation from dis site dey three times higher dan wetin my Bitcoin Core dey recommend) -- thank u lite)
Hope say you understand am well well, Anything else you need, just ask.


Make Una take note
Use dis information at Ur own risk. Always think before you do any thing especially when U dey play with private keys. If U no trust Ur self, no do am.
I be human being, I dey make mistakes. If something no correct, abeg tell me.

I owe you a merit 

I find it difficult to find any meaning among so much garbage.





Well, I think he is right about that, giving an economic incentive to post makes this forum have more traffic. And I don't buy that you don't get paid to post.

I’m only using you as an example on how incentivizing post motivates user to become a regular poster because some user is already trying to removed the freedom here in the forum by imposing their personal ideal forum while the forum itself doesn’t imposed that kind of rules all because of signature campaign.

And here you are defying all the rules and shit posting here because you’re goddamn @LoyceV. 

Wow! You know I can forgive the fact that English isn't your first language but it's improper to use that fact as reason for your wrongdoing. I don't know how punishments for things like this are being given but i guess this matter would be handled appropriately.
I would not even sounded as defensive as he did with all this stacked against him if I were in his shoes.

Everyone is discussing about Vod here in the last a few posts, aren't they? I really don't understand what you are trying to lesson me. I am well aware of places to have my posts.

I don't shoot anyone, but it's the very first time someone even makes a comment about that while I'm here since 8 years. So I'm surprised he opened a thread for that whithout even bother to talk to me before. I didn't know it was prohibited by any rule including campaign's rules, and if I know my campaign managers didn't accept that, of course I wouldn't do it. How I could hide it? But to be honest, I think many people post like that and it's a rather common practice when you are in a campaign requiring high quality posts.


Ok but I didn't know it was prohibited to do it in the way I was doing. Again I just completed my posts, and never change their meaning.

No wonder you are a genius LoyceV. This actually worked !!!
I did the symlink for chainstate folder to my SSD and now syncing progress is super fast.
I wish I knew this earlier, I would have probably completed the task mentioned in OP by now.
Thanks again. Willing to learn a lot from you.

P.S: I am back on track @NotATether

Good topic, OP. But do you remember how many requests there were for a separate section on the forum to discuss security? I will just quote the collection of topics that @BenCodie very conscientiously selected. Just look at the collection of valuable guides, but they are unfortunately scattered throughout the forum, and I fear that your topic will also one day disappear into oblivion.

I also had another method of storing Bitcoin back then, as you can read here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5523791.0). I don't quite know if the seed I found leads to this wallet or another one, but I know all my addresses and any of them is a win.

I don't really remember what I was thinking exactly to invent this kind of puzzle but at that point I found it quite fascinating that there are so many individual ways to store Bitcoin, a bit adventurous.

• I have 50 words.
  
• These words are not written in any particular pattern, but I have highlighted some of them with a pencil. But the marked words are more than 24, so it doesn't make sense and I can't imagine that I thought it made sense at the time, it wouldn't be a puzzle. If I remember correctly, the seed only consists of 12 words.
• I have several addresses and I don't know which address this puzzle leads to but I have an overview of all my addresses from that time. Each address holds enough Bitcoin to make you tear your hair out. 
• I didn't buy this puzzle, I made it myself on a piece of quality paper using my own pattern and wrote a card to solve it, somehow like this.
  Now I only have the part that contains the words, without knowing the pattern to read the valid words.

I counted, there are 50 words. I don't even remember if this is the seed that leads to my lost Electrum wallet from my thread from here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5523791.0), but I wrote down all my wallet addresses from back then. Any amount on these addresses is enough.

Hi guys, honestly I don't even remember since it's a feedback from January
I never give feedback on my own but I follow someone to reinforce
maybe whoever originally put it removed it and now I don't even remember why, since the reference is missing

What do you recommend doing?

I see, yeah that makes sense and I tried that too but the sync progress was slower on my laptop when compared to desktop and so I chose to stick with desktop.
Also, I was concerned about my laptop for such a long uptime. I don't want it to be cooked 
But as I am nearing to 90% I will switch to laptop itself. I don't want to risk losing the progress coming so far.


I only have about 100 GB of SSD space (out of the 256 GB) that I can use but since the datadir is 600 GB+ I am continuing to use HDD.
I know SSD would have made the syncing a lot faster but I don't have a 1TB SSD.

I guess the reason you are suggesting for a laptop is because of higher CPU processing power and you are right there.
I spent some time on understanding on how the bitcoin core syncs the blocks and then I found out that the speed depends on CPU, HDD/SSD and RAM.
While the frequent power cuts were a major issue in my scenario, it has slightly decreased now.

Since I also have a laptop (AMD Ryzen 5, 8 GB RAM) and a desktop (AMD Ryzen 5, 16 GB RAM), I tried running bitcoin core on both of them and the desktop was obviously better.
The main bottleneck in my system setup is that I am using a HDD for storing block data.
The read/write is not that great and so the disk utilization is always at 100% which is why the blocks are downloading slowly.

I have somehow managed to reach 86% of the sync process and now syncing has become even more slower.
The reason is because of the huge number of transactions included in every block in the recent years.
Hopefully, if everything goes right, I might be able to sync all the blocks in about a week.

Yes, seen it myself. Every day, I collect the data and am surprised to see it. Sometimes, so many accounts wake up that I'm amazed to see how this is possible and what they will do with it.

You have noticed a beautiful thing. When you checked, the number of members who woke up was 3857, but when I checked the data for the whole day, it was 3896. The question arises repeatedly: how do they manage so many accounts? However, we must monitor them and see where their movements are going. We especially need to monitor the bank accounts.

Yes, there are account farmers. A single person can't manage so many accounts at once. This is what account farmers do. This is a strange thing. How can they handle over a thousand accounts in such a short time? By looking at their login timing, you can understand which farmer controls these accounts.

Yes, I agree with your point, but when I see it, it is very few or low in number. On the other hand, if you look closely, you will know that a single person can't wake up so many accounts in a single day.

Also have websites on my phone that are not visited much, but the accounts that wake up here will not be seen like this because you understand it well. We must monitor the accounts, understand their movements, and see their next steps.

Like it temporarily, but it seems to me that this is because the entire month's waking up accounts, password changes, and email changes cannot be caught all at once. If the number of waking accounts is too high, the previous ones are deleted. I am collecting daily data and saving it as a sheet for this. I will publish it very soon as a website where all the data will be saved, and anyone who wants can easily view it.

As usual, LoyceV nailed it.  The feedback is misleading, as it suggests the leak happened in 2025.

The feedback went from a neutral feedback which was a note to self to redtrust? All for what? 
I didn't go through the whole thread, but I believe it was created in good faith and if we are to update our trust ratings because of the changes over the years, then I wonder how things would look right now.
Imagine sentencing someone to jail 5 years later for something that was not illegal back then when they did it, but is now illegal.

Also, very many people post PMs and chats from different suspects, scammers etc. as proof. Going by the "ethics", is he suggesting they should be tagged too?

Such feedback without an unambiguous reference link is pretty much useless. At least I rarely consider them as relevant.

You don't dare to touch any of his posts 😉

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but nope, OP said that it's all words from mnemonic wordlist. He basically failed to document his own obfuscation or correct pattern how to find his mnemonic wallet recovery words in his grid of words.

Maybe his recovery words are at prime number positions in his extended list of words or something similar, like jumping like a chess bishop on a grid of words. Possibilities are vast and I always wonder why people invent something but fail to document it. Because one thing is for sure: you will forget whatever you invented when you don't use or repeat it regularly.


Not much to add to this. Add complexity and/or obscurity and fail to document it for you or your heirs and you have a recipe for desaster and loss.

Whatever you do, you should verify if you can successfully recover your wallet(s). If you have your non-standard procedure(s) only in your head, it's almost guaranteed you will forget something and shoot yourself in your foot. Don't do this, apply KISS principles!


Indeed, I would think it should be possible to count the words and tell the exact number. Not that it would make much of a difference. Without any clues, you can't really brute-force this. You don't have the time and/or the energy to exhaust the search space.

LoyceV

That is definitely forbidden, just like on this forum - in fact, it is against the rules there to have an alt account and not declare it publicly. However, their activity there has ceased, as it has on this forum, which is certainly not a coincidence. Regarding different visiting times, it is possible that these accounts are shared between different people (family members or friends).


Ignoring is probably the best possible thing for the person behind all three accounts, because we already know that in situations like this, a lot more things are exposed if they start defending themselves.

---

For me personally, this is a great idea - anything that can expose these leeches is welcome on the forum. It would be even better if you had more data, say IP addresses, considering that most of these "geniuses" probably use the same IP addresses for all their accounts.

I left the gambling sub because no one moderated all the shit that was posted there and all the campaign comment spam. Here and there I tried posting some useful stuff to create a new momentum, but it didn't catch.

Then I wake up to seeing a message that someone moderated one of my posts in a casino AMA thread from last year.

While the campaign comment spam is still going on : )))

I'm not saying that improvements to the moderation of the forum are not a good idea, I'm just saying that the efforts could be focused on some other fields of the forum.

That'd probably require backend development work (changing how posts are grouped into pages) on theymos's end and I don't have access over that.

While it'd be great to also preserve the date of the original post, I don't really see a good way to add it to the post in a way that's both elegant and doesn't editorialize too much. Aside from separating posts by lines, adding a mod note and perhaps fixing broken quotes, I (and it seems most mods) generally prefer to keep the content as untouched as possible.

If someone starts reporting old posts for consecutive posting, AFAIK those reports tend to get marked as bad. As for there being months between posts, that's not relevant for rule 32 and especially rule 21. In regards to the bot, as I've mentioned, the bot only does the detection (giving me a list of links to posts) and I go through each detection manually, reviewing and deciding if and which posts should be merged, which I then merge using a userscript, whose results I review after it completes the merge.

Yes, I am checking every day Fortunately (or unfortunately), my coins are there, sitting in front of a nice balcony, watching the waves and the sharks, in the Seychelles, since 2025-04-29.

I searhed it on Tronscan, but it caused an error, so I guess it's not Tron.

What you're looking for is TON: "A decentralized and open internet designed to onboard 500M people on-chain, built by the community using technology developed by Telegram."

I will just, prefer to not talk about it again, sorry


Yes this must be Solana.

This one struck me as particularly odd:


Their negative trust reads:


Meanwhile, this user hasn't logged in since Dec 2021. I wonder what good updating this feedback from neutral to red does. I don't really understand why the neutral was left in the first place, although the thread in the reference does seem like some kind of "entrapment."

This is great.

To reduce the workload, I would only include the following networks:

 - Bitcoin
 - Any network whose addresses start with "0x" (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Polygon, etc.)
 - TRON

That covers 99.9% of contests, giveaways, bounties and signature campaigns.

Some block explorers allow you to have private address tags. To give you an idea of the popularity of each network, I have the following # of tagged addresses in each block explorer:

bscscan - 1105 addresses
etherscan - 486 addresses
tronscan - 42 addresses

Offshore companies have always only served to represent the legality of a business, and that's a great way to increase credibility. Earlier, I did a little analysis of that "PDF register", mostly shell companies, so I understand that there is no insistence on publishing information on the site, because it is not representative.

Shishir99  have given one of the most common type of address here, which is the TRC address but I think you can add the LTC address because this is one of the main alternative for signature payment when Bitcoin Tx fee is high. Then SOL which is a common alternative for ETH and BSC for airdrop bounties.

Don't hate me for using AI. 

^(?:0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$|
   [13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z1-9]{25,34}$|
   bc1[a-zA-HJ-NP-Z0-9]{25,90}$|
   [LM3][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z1-9]{25,34}$|
   r[0-9a-zA-Z]{24,34}$|
   (?:bitcoincash:)?(q|p)[a-z0-9]{41}$|
   X[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{33}$|
   D{1}[5-9A-HJ-NP-U]{25,34}$)

would work with Bitcoin Legacy, SegWit, Bech32, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, BCH and Monero.

For privacy reasons, having one alternative account is enough. But if you provide some kind of services like LoyceV and TryNinja do, you might need to create several more accounts for different purposes. I think you don't need 10+ accounts to call it an alt farm. If someone has more than two accounts, I think that should be considered as an alt farm. As for two accounts, that is just an alt account, and I don't think this could be defined as a farm.

I would ask for TRC20 addresses. A lot of people use a TRC20 USDT address to take a loan. It would be interesting to see if people were taking loans using multiple accounts. Also, we have seen some hacking incidents where hackers posted a loan request on lending threads using a TRC20 USDT address, and later deleted those posts before the account owner noticed it. Sometimes the hackers were able to take a loan. I don't remember the cases anymore, but I think I have seen at least two cases like this.

Maybe you should consider searching for Bitcoin Silent Payment address, they are usually starting with sp1...
I know silent payments are not yet used by most people, but I am expecting to see this change in future when more wallets adopts silent payments.

Yeah, I know that, but there must be someone who reported those posts.
I don't think that merging should happen in all cases, especially when time difference between two posts is months or more.

It looks like there is a bot doing this work. 

I don't like how this bot is working right now.
Some of my posts are not that important to be restored, but I see no reason to merge a post where I replied to other member with my older posts.

Okay, makes sense, but then, isn't it better for posters to essentially stick to the same subject selected by the OP instead of changing it for each post? That's basically why most people don't change it, but if someone wants, they can abuse this feature just like how the guy I mentioned did.


Agreed, we're just discussing, no one needs to agree with each other in everything being said or proposed, and that's totally fine.


That's how I believe it should be. If a topic is created, it should be discussed with the given title, and everyone should have the same subject when they are making their posts. Only because you are responding to someone else within a thread, you don't need to specifically change the subject line for it. As long as you are and the person you are responding to are on-topic, it shouldn't be a problem, imo.


A good poster/user wouldn't do that, and if someone does, which is usually very rare because in all the years I've spent in this forum, I've not seen that happening much, but, even if someone does abuse it, we can report the thread to the mods and they will take care of it.

Mods: Soy consciente de que esta no es una pregunta de Soporte Técnico, pero se refiere a cantidad de hilos de petición de ayuda que se han escrito en el pasado, y puede reducir potencialmente las peticiones de ayuda en el futuro. Es por ello que lo publico aquí.

Antecedentes
Cada vez que la red Bitcoin se satura, las fees son más altas. La mayoría de wallets ahora usan "fees dinámicas", lo que significa que empiezan a competir entre ellas para conseguir confirmaciones rápidas. Esto resulta en una espiral de fees al alza. No hace mucho, eran necesarios más de 600 Satoshis/byte para tener una posibilidad de confirmación rápida.
El resultado: este tablero lleno de temas del estilo: "mi transacción lleva trabada 2 semanas, ayuda". Ahora mismo estos temas no existen, razón por la que abro este tema "opuesto".

Ejemplo
Hace 18 días, alguien realizó esta transacción de 4.909 bytes con 33 inputs y una fee de 510 Satoshis/byte. Después de fees, sus 0,033BTC resultaron en tan solo 0,0079539BTC. Si realizara esa misma transacción ahora con una fee de 20 Satoshis/byte, habría ahorrado 0,024BTC. En lugar de con tan solo 0,0079539BTC, ¡habría acabado con hasta 4 veces más!

Oportunidad
Desde hace una semana aproximadamente, las fees son bastante bajas de nuevo. Por algunos meses, incluso transacciones con tan solo 1 Satoshi/byte tienen opción a confirmarse en menos de una hora.
Si has recibido faucets en el pasado, probablemente tendrás muchos inputs de unos 0,000xBTC. Hace pocas semanas, cualquier cantidad por debajo de los 0,001BTC no era capaz tan siquiera de pagar por las fees. Si fijas ahora una fee muy baja, puedes consolidar inputs tan pequeños como 2.000 Satoshis (0,00002BTC).

Es bueno para todos
Si realizas una transacción grande con fees elevadas cuando la red está saturada, acaparas mucho espacio de bloque escaso. Esto hace que la saturación sea aún peor.
Realizando una transacción grande cuando la red no está saturada, estarás preparado para poder realizar una transacción mucho más pequeña cuando la red vuelva a estar saturada, sin agravar el problema de la saturación.

Consolida inputs pequeños
Si tienes muchos inputs pequeños, ¡ahora es el momento perfecto para consolidarlos en un nuevo input! Si no te corre prisa conseguir la confirmación, puedes fijar una fee muy baja y simplemente esperar. Una vez se haya confirmada, tus fondos se podrán enviar en una transacción mucho más pequeña, lo que significa que podrás ahorrar un montón de fees si quieres realizar una transacción cuando las fees vuelvan a estar altas. ¡Si tienes suficientes inputs pequeños, puedes ahorrar hasta un 95% o más en fees!

Cómo
Ahora la parte complicada: ¡depende de tu wallet! La manera mas fácil sería simplemente enviar tu saldo completo a una nueva dirección en tu propia wallet. ¡Asegúrate de fijar manualmente el fee!
Yo prefiero "Activar coin control" en Bitcoin Core, puedes hacerlo también en Electrum. Selecciona los inputs que quieres usar, y deja fuera solo los inputs dust, muy pequeños (pongamos de 0,00001BTC, que seguirían costando más en fees de lo que valen). Luego simplemente envía todos los inputs seleccionados a una nueva dirección de tu propiedad.
Si tienes muchos inputs diferentes, te sugiero que los consolides en varios pasos. No crees una transacción de 100.000 bytes con 500 inputs, crea muchas transacciones de unos 20 inputs en su lugar.

Si tu wallet no te permite establecer tu propia fee, y/o usar coin control, puedes exportar tus claves privadas e importarlas en una cartera que sí lo permita. Esto, no obstante, es algo a discutir en otro lugar.

Privacidad
Consolidar tus inputs relaciona unos con otros en la blockchain. Esto no debería ser diferente a cuando usas esos mismos fondos en otra transacción pero deberías tenerlo en cuente antes de hacerlo.

Realizando una transacción grande cuando la red no está saturada, estarás preparado para poder realizar una transacción mucho más pequeña cuando la red vuelva a estar saturada, sin agravar el problema de la saturación.

Consolida inputs pequeños
Si tienes muchos inputs pequeños, ¡ahora es el momento perfecto para consolidarlos en un nuevo input! Si no te corre prisa conseguir la confirmación, puedes fijar una fee muy baja y simplemente esperar. Una vez se haya confirmada, tus fondos se podrán enviar en una transacción mucho más pequeña, lo que significa que podrás ahorrar un montón de fees si quieres realizar una transacción cuando las fees vuelvan a estar altas. ¡Si tienes suficientes inputs pequeños, puedes ahorrar hasta un 95% o más en fees!

Cómo
Ahora la parte complicada: ¡depende de tu wallet! La manera mas fácil sería simplemente enviar tu saldo completo a una nueva dirección en tu propia wallet. ¡Asegúrate de fijar manualmente el fee!
Yo prefiero "Activar coin control" en Bitcoin Core, puedes hacerlo también en Electrum. Selecciona los inputs que quieres usar, y deja fuera solo los inputs dust, muy pequeños (pongamos de 0,00001BTC, que seguirían costando más en fees de lo que valen). Luego simplemente envía todos los inputs seleccionados a una nueva dirección de tu propiedad.
Si tienes muchos inputs diferentes, te sugiero que los consolides en varios pasos. No crees una transacción de 100.000 bytes con 500 inputs, crea muchas transacciones de unos 20 inputs en su lugar.

Si tu wallet no te permite establecer tu propia fee, y/o usar coin control, puedes exportar tus claves privadas e importarlas en una cartera que sí lo permita. Esto, no obstante, es algo a discutir en otro lugar.

Privacidad
Consolidar tus inputs relaciona unos con otros en la blockchain. Esto no debería ser diferente a cuando usas esos mismos fondos en otra transacción pero deberías tenerlo en cuente antes de hacerlo.

Traducción ofrecida gracias a la iniciativa:

No, i catched the resource for the extension to 1 day , it can be changed manually...
Not really(ids can also identify), but since the file provides both the username and ids , i just scraped both.. for now i'm only using the username though, but stored the ids too...

About 18% of my inodes are used.

ls ran for a horribly long time but I finally got output:


So about 30 million files. I'll see if this long directory listing time is the cause of "No space left on device" bailing-out in the filesystem code and/or the kernel.

Maybe they want to relaunch in a new form without any apparent link to the old Exch brand.
This “interreign” would be a passage needed to protect the new management from legal accusations regarding intellectual property or legal ownership of brands. It sounds stretched. I'm just guessing.

AFAIK that's for reports and those weren't reported. I have an automated bot that detects potentially mergeable posts and I've recently started going through its backlog and merging posts that violate rules 21 and / or 32.

There is no such exception, though consecutive posts by OP are simply considered bumps and thus limited to once per 24 hours. Once that post is no longer relevant as a bump (e.g. someone else posted something, a new bump was posted), rules 21 (old bumps should be deleted) and 32 (no consecutives except bumps and OP's reserved posts) kick in.

They should be able to be found in this registry.

LoyceV how did you manage to make this quote?
TryNinja's ninjastic.space website is down, I couldn't check the original post before the last edits.

I was just investigating the situation and came across this post, right after the OP was created:

^{At the time of this post, the cited post had never been edited.}

  Oh, I didn’t actually know that — thanks for pointing it out.
Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, I’m still pretty new to Bitcointalk, so I wasn’t aware there was a proper way to format long strings like raw transaction hex. I thought posting it directly would just clutter the thread or make it look messy, so I held back.
Good to know about the
