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.
LoyceV's Bitcoin Fork claiming guide (and service)

Thank you @LoyceV

I didn’t notice that, perhaps because I don’t usually look at the cash shop.

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.

It's easy to use 1 satoshi/ vbyte in fee rate but for smaller fee rates than 1 sat/vbyte, he will do some technical steps.

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 :

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.
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pre-retogeum

___
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.

Well I do understand what you are saying but the main point I'm trying to make is if for example I made a transaction a couple weeks ago, is it possible for me to actually go back and check the transaction and get the node that propagated the transaction? I've been doing a little reading for a while now. From what I've gathered so far it seems it's not possible but I'm still looking to see if there's a way around it actually.

Honestly I'm surprised to see this never thought it's possible looks very feasible for paying forum evil fees last I tried I couldn't broadcast less than 1000 sat/vbyte but I can't remember whose node I was connected to.

There is this thread that did tested some minimum dust transactions some years back for segwit and non segwit address [TESTED IT] Minimum transaction value, you can do the same, connect to different nodes with known min relay fee betweent 0.1 and 1 sat/vbyte. Try dust limit or try inputs less than dust limit if they are going to be accepted on their mempool. Since you use electrum, we have some active servers like LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure and DireWolfM14's Electrum SPV Server.

I believe the same test can be done on the clear net using the NoScript extension on a browser too.  For people who want to do tests it may be even more convenient as the extension can be disabled and re enabled at any time in a click or two.

-----

I wrote down a list of Block Explorers I found.  But I could not test most of them due to not running Java Script on my browser.  If anyone is interested to test them out, here is the list of my findings.

The following Block Explorers partially work without Java Script,
-Learn Me A Bitcoin (https://learnmeabitcoin.com/explorer/) (I can not use the Search function but I can click 'Address' at the top, then 'Random Address' and then I can replace the random one with mine by editing the link.  I actually like the simplicity of this one.)

The following Block Explorers do NOT work without Java Script,
-CoinStats (https://coinstats.app/explorer/bitcoin/) (may be using the Blockchair API)
-BitInfoCharts (https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/explorer/) (the page loads but if I click any Address, I am asked to enable Java Script and Cookies)
-OKX (https://web3.okx.com/explorer)
-CryptoExplorerHub (https://cryptoexplorerhub.com/?)
-CoinEx Explorer (https://explorer.coinex.com/btc/)
-Apirone (https://explorer.apirone.com/)
-XScanner (https://xscanner.org/)
-Rawblock (https://www.rawblock.net/) (may not even be a Block Explorer?)

The following Block Explorers may not be functional at all,
-HashXP (https://hashxp.org/en/bitcoin/blocks)
-Blockhead (https://blockhead.info/explorer/bitcoin)

It sounds like someone saying, “Finish the job,” after someone has failed in a suicide attempt. Feels wrong to me.
Maybe his intention was not to come back. Maybe he's changed his mind, just like it happens to someone here every day. As someone who is active almost exclusively on the local German board, I'm happy to see any well-known user come back or become active again, because the signal-to-noise ratio has really gotten worse lately.

To add some facts from local german:
- 1miau has always referred to himself—or rather, his avatar—in the third person; that is not an indication of external control
- One of his first actions was to distribute merits in Der aktuelle Krusverlauf; the activity and merit distribution are similar to his cooldown phase before he "died". I took that merit distribution as a subtile way of saying, “Hi, I'm back.”
- I came across the “Defensive Alliance” while looking through his posts. When I DM'd him to ask what he was trying to achieve with it, he replied in German that he wanted to prevent any expected attacks, ironicly the opposite happened.

My interpretation:
There are obviously some users who want to silence 1miau as a critical voice against their interests. The conflicts apparently took such a toll on him that he decided to leave the forum. After taking some time to recover, he reconsidered his decision, returned, and first attempted to form a defensive alliance to protect himself from unwarranted attacks. This triggered the hostile actors, who immediately went on the offensive, to silence him again. To me, this paints a complete picture.

Someone who sees himself as a critical but neutral observer should, in this regard, not join the haters in demanding the next piece of irrefutable evidence, but rather examine the strength of the evidence on the side of the accusations. Currently, I see nothing there that goes beyond circumstantial evidence and speculation. A good reason to apply the presumption of innocence.

The real problem is that they think in a centralized way, and they should be safely storing something that is decentralized. Therefore, they decide to leave the responsibility for that work to someone else, because CB keeps most of the coins that are traded through spot BTC ETFs. They probably see the company as a kind of cryptobank.

When we read news like this, it definitely makes sense to leave these things to the professionals.

But if this piece of paper gets lost, burned, or stolen, who will then cover the enormous losses?
Coinbase develops security standards, invests heavily in them, and is responsible for the losses.
For example, the South Korean tax authority stores cryptocurrency this way,publishing a photo of the ledger with the seed phrase.

It's also worth noting that the account never went into hibernation, and therefor never "woke up."  Someone as been actively logging into the account periodically to keep it from becoming inactive.  The same thing had been happening with the alt account, which logged in as recently as February 3rd and only went into "inactive" state yesterday.

Something is wrong about the whole situation related to him returning to the forum. The part of real relevance was him stating that the person behind the 1miau account will not be active any longer. If his intention was to never return, he could have monetised the account by selling it. It is pure speculation but the questions and doubts are there because of legitimate concerns.

It probably would have remained a perfectly acceptable explanation had the account remained inactive. The fact he returned after a brief hiatus even though he explained why he was never going to return, is not enough to arise strong suspicion but his uncharacteristic conduct since returning has caught the attention of several members.

It's hard to name a single person based on the question you asked here because there are many members here who are very helpful and at the top of my favorites list so I won't mention any user names here personally but I can say that the one you mentioned, LoyceV, is also one of my favorites. You created an account on this forum about 8 years ago so you must have understood which users might be at the top of your favorites.

Ummm he is also one of my favorite users who is always awake and always watching this forum ha ha

US Marshals Service picks Coinbase to custody its assets as part of a $32.5 million contract
https://www.theblock.co/post/302924/us-marshals-service-picks-coinbase-to-custody-its-assets-as-part-of-a-32-5-million-contract

__
I have experience working with government contracts in my country. With such contracts, offering a low price isn't enough; you need multiple licenses, including the most complex license for working with state secrets, which is very difficult to obtain. In other countries, this may be called something different, but the government has the leverage to select a reliable company.

They spend BTC on those things, but if you tell them to use BTC to buy personal goods, for everyday use, they say no because that's wasting BTC since it will be worth more tomorrow.

How are we supposed to understand the minds of these people? It's complicated.

If it had happened, you would have won one more.

If I had to pick one particular person, mine has to be o_e_l_e_o.  He was so good at being a friend that my friendship with him felt like we were having a face to face conversation rather than a virtual one.  He never said 'no' to any of my requests and he always showed he cares no matter what.  If there is one thing that left a mark on me, it was Leo leaving that way.

To be honest with you.  I would continue to list names.  One person I would also consider a friend is icopress.  I was going through a really rough state of mind and he messaged me to let me know he is there to help if needed.  I can not forget that.  I never will.  My interactions with LoyceV were limited to replying to each other but I am sure a departure of his from Bitcoin Talk would feel as bad as it was when Leo left.  While I did not interact directly with him, his knowledge and style of writing often feels like he is a friend, a guide.  Not to even mention all the tools, all the knowledge, you can not not forget his name.  Gazeta Bitcoin is another member who has helped a lot very often and I am very thankful for the things he has done but it has unfortunately been about three years since we last had a conversation.

There are other names to list.  Definitely.  And the list above does not have a particular order either.  I am pretty sure I physically met some of the Bitcoin Talk members from my local Board in the past.  If they are the people who I suspect they are, then many of them are very good people.  But I will not name any for reasons.

Anyway.  I would have named more.  But I initially did not want to mention even the people above because I do have a fear of losing them from our community.  And I am definitely not the only one, only earlier today I read another post saying they fear same thing.  I know all the names I listed above have done way more for Bitcoin and this community than I ever did, particularly as my post quality, grammar and mental state deprecated over the years and my account did have a period of time where it turned from a semi recognizable person on Bitcoin Talk to a garbage spitting account like most others.

I went through many roller coasters of positive and negative feelings and some of it was evident in my posts too.  The thing is.  I hope no one else disappears unexpectedly or dies again.  I know.  It is inevitable.  But I still have hope that we can some how live on for decades, all together.

Hier das genaue Update von LoyceV , Danke dafür !

I may again seem too picky about one local partition, but there is always an opportunity to make sure that who and which local partition makes a similar mistake. Just use these parameters to check the word "ment," at least for a period of two years, and if you remove the excess, you can see who writes this way most often.

https://bitlist.co/search?content=ment&date_min=2024-05-01&date_max=2026-05-03&limit=20

My guess is that the account has changed ownership, and the owner is now exactly where this error is most popular.

By the way, "1miau" himself has already corrected this error, which means that he has accepted his mistake.

Holy shit, a rare opportunity to show up LoyceV?   I'll look for the actual reason. 

I understand the irony in comparing the Coinbase crypto exchange to warehouses for storing old furniture and other junk, but storage has its costs, too. Coinbase likely offered more favorable terms to the US government, and its wallets weren't hacked. They did have hacking incidents, but the hackers targeted their clients, not the exchange itself.

1miau hat mittlerweile eine Nachricht signiert und konnte damit nachweisen, dass er nach wie vor im Besitz des Accounts ist. Mit deinem Satz könntest du durchaus recht haben, diese Aussage liest sich auch für mich so in diese Richtung:


Da kann man ihm natürlich nur alles Gute wünschen und hoffen, dass es ihm bald wieder besser geht! Das Drama rund um sein Comeback hat da natürlich sicherlich nicht gerade geholfen ...

It’s not just a userscript for the forum; there’s also a web version, just like bpip or bitlist.
For example, here’s your user profile: https://brdbscoreapi.ace-d89.workers.dev/profile/3471165
I realise that not everyone likes using a tool via a userscript.


Yes, it’s actually taking a long time to get the initial data. In fact, I’m not tracking all the forum UserIDs, just the ones my tool recognises so far – there are about 19,000+ of them – and it took about 26 hours to run the full check.
I’ll have a look at your data and see if it’s useful for my specific situation. Thanks, LoyceV

Bummer, dude.  I haven't received any such email.  Is your contract due for renewal some time soon?  If so, I may get the same treatment early next year.


Not sure who's hosting your domain name, but redirecting it to a different IP is usually a pretty simple task.  It may take up to 48 hours to refresh, but it's often much faster than that.

Is it time to add a new category to Bitcointalk Community Awards 🏆?

This forum is a community made up of many members, where it's impossible to single out any one. It's somewhat similar to a decentralized network (similar to bitcoin), where every node is a forum member. I see it this way.

For me, a bitcointalk is a collection of people, a BTC-community that has formed thanks to each of you.

Me too.

Bitcointalk forum was hacked three times in three years, 2011, 2013 and 2015 with the last hack was in May 2015.
Bitcointalk history of hacks and vandalism.

It's not limited to, but very likely that old accounts registered before 2015 if having activities like woke up & password change, email change are very likely hacked and sold/ purchased accounts.

From your account ID, and BPIP, I quickly got that account around this one rti2 and before have highest probability of hacked/sold/ purchased accounts because of three forum hack incidents.

I’ll do it,

 can you pm me the steps? I see how to report a flag of him personally taking funds. When I try to submit I think I’m doing it wrong…

theirs already links listed in other threads I could use to for reference, I could even take the screen shots if needed again…

By some, LoyceV means every available piece of data that you could possibly (and in some cases impossibly) need.

I do not think I have seen this tool before. It looks really good and of practical use to those not familiar with usernames here. I would prefer to have a website like with bpip does and not a script but this will give more real time data to those using it while on the forum.

- Jay -

What data do you have available?
Essentially, I need:
Total posts
Total merit points
Posts in the last 120 days
Merit points in the last 120 days
Registration date
And last login

The BRDB calculation is based on this data. I’ve started scraping the profiles, but it’s my first time doing this and it’s taking me ages

I was quoted, and, therefore, I will answer. It's not for you to teach how to live; many people just ignore your posts because they understand that if you argue with jerks, then besides the fact that it's difficult for people like you to prove something, you can unwittingly turn into someone who talks to the wall.

In the case of the hero of the theme, time will tell again. As for JollyGood, he magically, very rarely, makes mistakes, so yes, we'll all see what happens next.

Apologies? They are appropriate when people do not behave strangely, causing confusion among others by their actions. It would be normal to resurrect and, in a human way, thereby respecting the community, to talk about their psychological problems and not to stir up and create "alliances" or an uprising of the "union of the offended and insulted." Otherwise, if a person ignores such behavior, then by doing so he shows superiority, which means, again, not respect. So there's no reason to be surprised when you see a mirror image.

Interesting, never seen or heard of it. Controlled by Mitchell it seems, you tech guys have some crazy skills that really do put most of us to shame

When somethings is done by the corporation and it's free, then sure, you are the product. Also, in cases when something is expected from you and things are served for free (like man paying for a date with a woman), of course you are the product.
But here is the thing, people sometimes do things without expecting nothing in return, like helping a beggar or anonymously donating money to someone's surgery and so on.
Dkbit mentioned Linux. It's free because Linus Torvalds started it as a personal hobby for his own computer, later shared the code with other volunteers and so on. In the end, thousands of developers got connected and developed a great OS. He did gain something in exchange: trust, reputation and power but I wouldn't say that I'm the product in this case.

Two of the people that I like most on this forum are no more posting.

The first is pooya87 that have not been posting the day before United States and Israel attacked Iran.
The second is o_e_l_e_o that has left this forum.
The next is LoyceV.
I have to mention Hhampuz and Little Mouse also.

I have really gained a lot from these people. Knowledge from the first 3, and money from the campaign managers.

I hope pooya87 will be back.

I agree; LoyceV is the person, in addition to his amazing erudition on all issues on the forum, from whom I learned not to perceive very emotionally people from the Internet who are trying to bring us to emotions. It really helps and it works. There are many people on the forum who are very interesting, and I respond and read faster on the topics they open.
I noticed that the number of views increases where the majority subscribe to such people; thus, this figure is a good indicator of user interest in a particular person.

Multiple attempts to sign a message?  Electrum only?  Things that make you go "hmmm..."

You seem to have forgotten much of your technical knowledge in your six months away.

That's the first thing I would have done, but I probably would have thrown in a PGP key or two as well because, well, why not.

Signed message or not, my feedback will remain until I'm utterly satisfied.  No amount of social pressure from Axis or Allied forces will sway me.  Note I said nothing about a signed message in my feedback, only time will tell.

I think it would be better to say that bitcointalk is my favorite place to visit vs trying to say who is awesome IMO. I've had many long conversations with many members, became friends with a few, got lots of great medical and personal advice from a few, participate in off forum competitions with some members, just too much to list honestly.

I will give a special mention to a few if that is ok.

LoyceV helped me claim forked coins some years back and provides tons of technical material that helps many if they need it and are looking.

Igebotz takes the time to check on my health from time to time.

condoras was a very dear friend whom I shared more with than anyone from here.

hopenotlate is another dear friend who is always there if I need advice or want to vent.

Sunderland is a user that I worked with on Luckyb.it and have become great friends with. Would do anything for the guy.

o_e_l_e_o reached out and gave me some medical advice when I was going through the worst period of my life with the heart surgery.

DireWolfM14 and Hueristic put together the fantasy football league that consumes a few months of my time each year.

I think that's enough for now but there are many more names I could mention who have been so helpful through my forum and life journey.

They are too many to mention and they function in different ways in the forum, and to be honest, if I was not in this forum I don’t think I will be this active in my bitcoin investment and that’s because I have built relationships with people in this forum who are very active and knowledgeable in bitcoin investment and they are always pushing me to do more better when it comes to my bitcoin investment.
I love theymos his a great Admin, the freedom they created in this forum is wonderful and according to LoyceV “you may not understand it now, but as time goes on you will learn to appreciate it”
I’m happy my job always gives me time to visit the forum, who has been away from forum for sometime because of their job and how those it feels like?

I should be the leader of this group because I am more decentralized than those other guys. Oh excuse me, I was not invited, it was an account whose name just looks like mine.


This is too big to be a conspiracy.


I don't think building a wall will help. We need the forum to hire ICE mods that are tasked with cleaning the forum of habitual offenders & undesirables.

Interesting that it also shows "first posts" from bought accounts, lol. You know, I just don't have the time or desire to go so in depth into this anymore. But for those who do, there's a bigger array of crime-fighting utilities at one's disposal than ever.

And I don't know what you're trying to summon but it looks like its missing a couple letters.

There are many specialized legends from around the boards so it is hard to choose just one, however LoyceV stands out with his exceptional ability to assist others.  Who else would even come close to that level of dedication?  I guess I will have to think about it a little more.

Anyone can decide to leave the forum temporarily or permanently and can even declare their account dead even though the person behind it might be alive but it is satisfactory for an account that is as reputable as yours to still convince members of the forum that the account is still in your possession hence the reason why some forum members asked that you sign a message. Do not take it personal, despite that some persons gave you the benefit of doubt but the message you signed is a kind of reaffirming their trust in you.

You fuck!!!!!!

 


That would be nice.

I would like more than  a symbolic breaking through - yet beggers cannot be choosers.


Based on recent momentum, it seems that the odds are in the ballpark of greater than 50% of a break through, yet personally, I don't have enough confidence to proclaim that it is bettable, beyond the funzies of throwing die at a crap table.


Not that we necessarily need to know details, yet sometimes it could be interesting to figure out what back up plans might be in the event that something like a Trezor (or any other hardware) device were to fail, and then there would be needs to have a back up or even more than one back up.

Another thing is communicating these kinds of matters to heirs or potential heirs.. and surely it seems a bit problematic to have all the information with only one person, since it is possible that the person could precede in death or have other limitations that might not materialize until some later date.

I have had some systems of communicating aspects of my security and other systems, and surely, I question the extent to which the information is going to be adequately communicated, even though at the time that I make it and as I communicate the information, it tends to have traits of making sense... but then with the passage of time, I am not even sure, and with the passage of time, even I have some struggles to make sure that the contained information is both clear enough and also somewhat updated with any relevant material changes that might happen at various points along the way.

Surely, we have seen some fire situations, even with the rich folks in California.. and maybe a decent number of them lost some coins.. and even having multiple places might not help if the multiple places all got simultaneously burned down or irretrievably damaged in other ways.

I am probably not the ONLY one with the theory that there are likely way more keys lost than realized.. and gosh, how frequently should we be testing all of our keys, and even testing might contain some risks too. . here.. let me assemble all of this information for "updating" blah blah blah. .then maybe a good portion of the information is in one place during the testing.. and when we communicate the information to someone. .or even some guys who live in apartments and might not have back up locations that might be convenient for guys who might have home and work and maybe a relative or two who might be able to keep back ups on their property (whether wittingly or not).. and yeah, I am not the greatest of fans of safety deposit boxes. .even though it could work for a split key kind of a situation... and how split?  if a person get's 1/2 of the key? is that too much?  what if they get 1/3 of the key, that is probably o.k.... but if they get 2/3 of the key, then maybe they have enough to brute force it, if they have the right equipment and technical/puzzle-solving knowledge (do they know what they are looking at?).

Depending on who you're asking, banks are the government, so a private bank holding the bitcoin does not change the fact that the government custodies it. Who owns the gold? Is it really at Fort Knox? 

A good theory is that Strategy and BlackRock need to stack at least 4 million bitcoin, before the US government considers it a "priority".

Your appearance was telling and welcomed at least by some.

I honestly doubt that the ARMA Bill would make it past all the required stages. It is still in its 'introduction' stage, so we are very far away from anything. And just looking at the roadblocks the Clarity Act is currently up against in the Senate gives us an idea of what it takes to get these things sorted out, takes a lot.
For whatever it is worth, the ARMA bill that's introduced to convert executive order to official federal law proposes that the 1 million BTC that would be acquired over a 5 year period would be stored in self custodial storage facilities.

Facts

After getting some sort of burnout, I've decided to withdraw permanently from Bitcointalk but now it felt better, so I've decided to come back. But now we are at it again, I've already spent more time online right now than I should be.
I might withdraw again if it continue at this pace.

Well, I don't know if it would be fair, except for Leahized having delayed a little, maybe the other two didn't want to participate anymore? Will they be angry at me talking too much?rssss... and or examplens got mad at me because of me completing the 1% malus of it, I don't know, but that's fine with me, because it's so indespicable, it looks like it's going to break through the 80k but at the same time it seems like it's going to close the week at 75500 which was what was in my mind, but I ended up putting 77500,... Here the daylight saving time ended, and for now it's been more than 4 years since it ended... I hope it doesn't come back.... And as for you, all the best on the tour, and enjoy it well.
