আসসালামু আলাইকুম আশা করি সবাই ভাল আছেন, প্রথমে দুঃখ প্রকাশ করে নিচ্ছি ব্যক্তিগত কারণে ব্যস্ত থাকার জন্য এই অ্যাক্টিভিটি রিপোর্ট তৈরি আপনাদের নিকট পেশ করতে দেরি হয়ে গেল।  যাই হোক  মেইন প্রসঙ্গে আসলে যদি জানুয়ারি মাসের এক্টিভিটি নিয়ে কথা বলি তাহলে এই মাসে আমাদের পারফরমেন্স একদমই খারাপ গিয়েছে, যদিও মেরিটের দিক থেকে আমরা এগিয়ে রয়েছে কিন্তু এটা প্রতিভার বছরের শেষে  মেরিট সোর্সরা পুরনো পোস্টগুলোতে দিয়ে থাকে তাই মেরিট বেশি দেখা গেল মূলত আমাদের এই মাসের মেরিট আর্নিং কম ছিল। আর পোস্টের দিক থেকে বললে তো একদমই বাজে অবস্থা।
 এটার সামারি যদি করি তাহলে পোস্ট এক্টিভিটি কমেছে −54.07% তার মানে অর্ধেকেরও বেশি পোষ্টের এক্টিভিটি সংখ্যা কমে গিয়েছে।

সবশেষে এর মধ্যেই যারা অবদান রেখেছেন তাদেরকে ধন্যবাদ এবং সেই সাথে সাথে সামনে আরো ভালো করার অনুরোধ জানিয়ে,


নিচে বিস্তারিত ডাটা গুলো চার্টের মাধ্যমে তুলে ধরা হলো।

That would be cool, but I don't know if such a service is a practical business model.  I would love to host a public SPV server, but the cost is prohibitive and I don't have any other services to offer that would offset the cost.  Most of the big ones I see are hosted by the big block exporters that earn from advertising, or some exchanges as well.  Some are hosted by developers, such as Emzy but I suspect he's sponsored or partially compensated due to his involvement in Bisq.

I saw a similar pattern, probably towards the end of last year if I recall well, but I didn't get enough time to investigate further. The account woke up at close time intervals and then wore Rainbet signatures without applying for the campaign.

I believe this is a trick to post around different boards so it does not raise eyebrows since they are wearing signatures.
The person behind them is taking advantage of the many participants in that campaign, so it's hard to know who is just wearing the signature for cover

I don't know if LoyceV or any technically gifted member can create a tool that can scrape through accounts wearing Rainbet signatures. I am sure we could get more accounts.

Yes, you can dream, but at the moment we are in the nightmare phase!

Amici della board, fellow bitcoiners, rieccoci, anche questo mese, mi appronto a  pubblicare il mio report.
Mi ci metto a lavorare, in un momento critico per bitcoin. Il mercato ha venduto, siamo molto sotto il livello che molti di noi si sarebbero aspettati, inebriati dalle vane promesse di Trump.
Ed è per questo che io ed *Ace*, che pensavamo di andare a vederele gare di sci a Cortina, in realtà ci troviamo a preparare i nostri report al freddo e sotto alla neve.

Strumenti usati per l'analisi di questo mese:

• Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard di @ddmrddmr
• Bitlist.co di @tryninja
• [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity di @Rikafip

@Tryninja ha implementato alcune nuove dashboard davvero fighe! Vi consiglio di guardarle. Da questo mese, con il nuovo sito, ho usato maggiormente il suo sito.
Vi invito a curiosare un po' sui vari siti e thread: ognuno di loro fornisce informazioni diverse ed interessanti, anzi, se vedete qualcosa di interessante, e che vorreste vedere replicato in questa sede, fatemelo sapere. Proverò ad implementarlo.

---

Ovviamente ringrazio tutti coloro che hanno contribuito, direttamente o indirettamente, alla stesura di questo thread. Chiaramente gli errori sono miei, ed è incredibile la quantità di errori, typo ed incongruenze che trovo ogni mese (questo mese le correzioni che ho dovuto fare sono tornate ad aumentare: ben 2!). Vi prego di segnalarmele anche in questa, dato che, per quanto mi impegni, trovo sempre qualcosa che sfugge.

Mi raccomando, discutete e date feedback!

Ora tocca ad  *Ace*!
Ed anche questo mese te l'ho fatta, @Rikafip!

@nc50lc thanks for the correction again, it is going to take a while before i get used to these terms, but i understand now thanks for the explanation.

@LoyceV it would be almost impossible to pick same number again, I get you now thanks.


@m2017 I did a little bit or research along side the information in this thread and I discovered that it would be almost impossible because the chances of collision of a 32byte private key is 1 out of 2²⁵⁶ that is a large number man, it would be best dedicating much time and effort trying to hit the jackpot in a casino than trying to get lucky with a collision lol

You're into something, i already tagged 4 them (2 tagged just yesterday) since they spam unhelpful/generic post on technical board.


For this user, i tried reporting many of his spam posts.

@nc50lc thanks for the heads up, so that means addresses like the P2PKH and P2SH can be calculated meanwhile the besh32 addresses would likely provide accurate result to validate or invalidate the transaction.

@stwenhao thanks for the clarification.
How did the transaction manage to go through since there are no addresses,
Secondly, what's the purpose of making such transaction since those bitcoin cannot be accessed by anyone or spent?

@LoyceV thanks for bringing up Theymos's analogy. But I have a question.
Theymos said something about private keys that they can never be regenerated for another person to make use of, so my question is, is there any built-in algorithm that ensures this doesn't happen especially since there are several different types of wallets softwares out there?

@Mahiyammahi that's alot of numbers, even if the entire world population makes use of 5 wallet each it's still not close to that value.

Hello everyone,

Round 1 has delivered its verdict. Here are the results :

Closing price on 06/02/2026 : 70524$

Becassine	13 218

            

Congratulations LogitechMouse, the rebound in recent hours has been good for you. You win this first round and your wallet has been credited with 50 BTC.
Aaah dear Becassine, many people dreamed of taking your ♥, but I will just take one life from you. You now only have one left. Don't be sad. It’s time for you to switch to survivor mode.

Now let's talk about Round 2.
If I understand correctly, you like Bitcoin here. You eat Bitcoin, you dream Bitcoin, you shit Bitcoin. The Bitcoin blockchain have no secrets for you. So let’s spice things up a bit with this blockchain.
In addition to the Bitcoin price, you will have to submit a block number that will determine your bonus or… your malus.
You thought that just avoiding risks would be enough to survive. Well, it’s going to be a bit more complicated than that. And you will only know your bonus or malus after the topic lock (normally).
But you're going to say "It’s not fair !!!". That's true. Don’t blame me. Blame the blockchain and your own choice.
I promised you surprises, I hope you are not disappointed.

Round 2 : The blockchain-lottery

What will be the price of Bitcoin at February 12, 2026, 12:00:00 AM (BTC closing price on 11/02/2026) ?
Submit your predictions before February 09, 2026, 07:00:00 PM

Cash shop: OPEN

In addition to the Bitcoin price, you must specify a block number between 935850 and 935950.
Each block has a block hash, and the last character of this hash will determine the bonus or malus you get, according to the following table :

0-6-C-I-O-U	0,25% bonus
1-7-D-J-P-V	0,25% malus
2-8-E-K-Q-W	0,50% bonus
3-9-F-L-R-X	0,50% malus
4-A-G-M-S-Y	0,75% bonus
5-B-H-N-T-Z	0,75% malus

            

For example:
If you had chosen block 935266, the block hash is 00000000000000000000adee26d2d23098b46a248856f729e5607e959750df45. The last character is 5, so you would have received a 0.75% bonus.
If you had chosen block 935265, the block hash is 00000000000000000001b884074997c02a156312d1df2cbf46781f0a82a2666d. The last character is D, so you would have received a 0.25% malus.

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

So the conclusion is, we should assume that the device is infected already so installing a wallet on it doesn't make any sense.

To state the fact, I have been using Electrum on my Android for years and haven't fall for any tricks yet, just using QR scanner for every TX, double check the chars, and keep the playprotect ON.

Can't remember vividly but I think 1miau created a topic about this in the past where he explained that you should never get rid of a seed phrase the worse you could do is keep them aside and come to think of it it does make more sense since you barely care about the ones you no longer use.

One other thing is to try as much as possible to avoid changing seeds too frequently because it gets more difficult to store and manage past seed phrases if you have too many of them.

I am not sure about hitting another ATH in the first quarter, yet maybe in the second quarter.

it can take time to reverse, even in better case scenarios - even though from time to time, we do see outrageously UPpity bursts, yet many times those outrageously UPpity bursts tend to still be a product of time and building up momentum rather than just happening randomly.. .but yeah, we do currently live in strange times, so some level of outrageous could end up happening to the upside in shorter periods of time than previously considered to be feasible.


I would think that most countries have limits on write offs, such as per year and/or per life.

Many of us likely realize historically (and maybe even sometimes on individual levels) that sometimes non-compliance and/or civil disobedience end up having to be played in certain situations in order to facilitate change (and/or justice) when unfair and/or unjust laws are put in place.


I have trouble figuring out how you are imagining current levels of bitcoin adoption to be anything other than outrageously low.  Sure, normies are likely not going to want to get involved in bitcoin, and sure a bunch of fucktwats with paper bitcoins, paperized products, and/or playing around with bitcoin to ONLY manipulate the price are going to likely continue to ongoingly strive to ruin dee party, but that still does not mean that bitcoin is not going to trickle into the heads and hands of normies in the next decade or two or more.


Looking at your average cost and your profits tends to be a bad way to valuate your bitcoin stash.

Instead a better way to valuate relates to whether you have enough or more than enough.

For sure, if you had been buying bitcoin in the 4 digits, then now days you are not going to get as many cornz for the dollar as you were able to get in earlier times.

Difficult to know how to solve any dilemma that you might be feeling, since many of us should realize when BTC prices are close to the 200-WMA then likely prices are relatively cheap.

So at the low from yesterday we dipped slightly below $60k, which would have had been less than 3.5% from the 200-WMA (which is currently at $58k).. and so now we are back to nearly 20% above the 200-WMA with our prices bouncing around $69.5k.

Who knows? who knows about the current recovery and if we are merely being faked out or if we might be able to get a bit of distance between the BTC price and our current local bottom?

pretty sure some idiot with an AI will print some really period correct credentials and other such detailed official lineage of the tulip or whatever the tulip accountants generally do. like, PERFECT visual reproductions of documents.

then the idiot would print it all on cheapest paper he could find in a stables store and some junker laser. turn it in to the Tax Man

SsE iM RihC!!

I have no idea how this would work, but I'm just delighted that you picked tulip bulbs for this.

When they ask you about tulip bulbs, you can then play dumb and not know what they're talking about, and you can do it all in Dutch.

tax laws are fucked up.

USA fed taxes allow 3000 of the 40000 loss and carried over 37000 .

and I used 17000 of that when I sold some coin in 2025 so for the fed tax I have 37,000-17,000=20,000  which I can use if I sell at a profit in the future .  Fair enough a limit to 3k loss if you make no sales from the carryover loss is allowed each year.

I am fine with set of rules.

But my state taxes say fuck you.  If you make money on a stock or btc sale pay us.

If you loss money fuck you no deduction.

Pretty much flat out thievery.

I could get into what they do about property tax and declaring itself a sanctuary state to use illegal aliens as an economic weapon against real true citizens but that's another subject.
And a bit more complicated.

It's why I do not like Trump's method of fixing the issue. As I have said he should simply try the Governor of NJ with treason for signing an executive order allowing a sanctuary state.

It really drives up property taxes in a calculated way.

While true, this is counteracted somewhat by a) more people not being willing to trade their coins (or coins not on the market for other reasons) and 2) the price itself. A few times over the years, I've had to adjust the Y axis on Chartbuddy up because it's not automatic and it's denominated in number of bitcoins.

With that said, what you wrote following is correct. It's just that while freshly minted bitcoins are decreasing, so is the trading volume.


A third counter-counter mechanic is that the pool of people who haven't bought in yet also continues to decrease Not exhausted yet and we've decided not to include people who might use it as electronic peer-to-peer cash. Many moving parts...

well I created a 40k loss in 2022 after the crash.

It is down to 20k now and it did work out for me . 

But that is USA tax law.

I've already explored this topic a bit. Well, once configured, it's possible to isolate the network to protect home equipment from the outside world.

But I think the biggest problem, besides ensuring a good initial network setup, is its maintenance. It requires the person to always be very attentive to what is happening on the network, to check for updates, and to keep security levels at the highest possible level. Sometimes an update can ruin a configuration, which needs to be completely revised to maintain the desired levels.

So it's about stability. Ensuring it's 100% online, that it's not under-loaded. We are not 100% home to guarantee this supervision. There may be power outages, and other external factors of that nature, that can affect the entire structure, even if it is properly constructed.

Impossible? No, it's not, but it requires a very high level of "work" to ensure that everything is always functioning properly.

Claro. Lo que sucede es que hay una gran diferencia entre utilizar inteligencia artificial para generar un nombre de usuario y el utilizar inteligencia artificial para generar contenido, posts e imágenes y hacerlas pasar como resultado de un proceso e interacción humana.

Curiosamente, el usuario LoyceV aclaro en un hilo hace mucho tiempo que el usuario que utiliza lo generó con ayuda de un generador de nombre de usuario (con el objetivo de obtener uno que no tuviese nada que ver con el resto de su rastro en el internet y la vida real).

Creo que s un buen ejemplo que la forma en la que elegimos nuestro nombre de usuario no tiene nada que ver con la calidad del contenido que elegimos compartir en el foro.

I've only used mempool as a block explorer, and it's very low impact.  It draws data from Bitcoind and an Electrum server as it runs.  The production version of mempool (mempool.space, for example) requires Blockstream Electrs.  I've only run the personal version with ElectrumX and Romanz Electrs.  It does use it's own database structure (maria,) but as far as I know it doesn't store data in an exclusive database so you wouldn't be able to run it without at least having Bitcoind running.



I wouldn't want my home IP open to the public either, but I was wondering if a remote server as a WirdGuard client hardened with iptables would be a safe way to have a local server accessible from a remotely hosted domain name.  I'm only just starting to learn about iptables and security, so I wouldn't risk it with my current knowledge.

Terima Kasih mas Husna atas Updatednya.

Saat ini saya cuma jadi DT2 forever, belum pernah sekalipun jadi DT1. Tiap minggu saya selalu dapat notif di telegram dari Loyce kalau nama saya ada di DT2.
Forum ini khususnya SFI membutuhkan member-member DT1, dan DT2 untuk menjaga lokal kita ini lebih dipercaya, serta memitigasi jika nanti ke depan ada yang mencoba scam, atau melakukan hal yang merusak citra SFI.

Saya lihat semakin ke sini semakin tidak antusias lagi, tidak kayak dulu karena mungkin orang pada sibuk nyari satoshi, dan ngepost mingguan saja, sedangkan level trust kurang begitu diantusias, gak kayak merit, dsb.

Locked and unlocked.

I won't say it every time, but if you see any mistakes, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I will correct them ASAP.

Is this mode feasible to use the block explorer?



I've also thought about buying a second-hand server (I even find it at interesting prices), but to make it publicly accessible - for some projects, it can be more complicated in terms of stability and internal security.

What happened to the real Toxic Moxic?

Sure no problem weave in some data.. .. it can be quite overwhelming to go through such seemingly machine generated extensive numbers without some intermingled human commentary.

... or maybe in recent times you have mind-melded machine and man?

How does it feel?


We are living it, even though we are nearly 5 years out..


 

The ups can sometimes seem like they are going fast, but then the downs can be quite grinding and gruelling too.

たった今見たよ 別の被害者 のクリップボードハイジャッカーマルウェア.

仕組み
1. Bitcoin アドレスを選択し、Ctrl + C を押します。
2. マルウェアはアドレスをハッカー/詐欺師が所有するアドレスに変更します。
3. Ctrl + V を押すと、送金した資金が失われます。

貼り付けたビットコイン アドレスの一部を確認しても、最初の数文字は同じである可能性があり、アドレスが変更されたことに気付かないでしょう。

これを防ぐ方法
1. Windows を使用しないでください。しかし、あなたがそれを変更するつもりがないことは私たちもわかっています。
2. コピー＆ペーストした後は、アドレス全体を確認してください。最初の数文字（または最後の数文字）だけでなく、中間の文字も確認してください。これは非常に手間がかかるので、おそらくこれも実行されないでしょう。
3. もう一つの方法を思いつきました。ビットコインアドレス全体をコピーするのではなく、一部だけコピーし、最後の数文字を手動で入力してください。マルウェアが不完全なビットコインアドレスを独自に交換したとしても、自分で数文字追加しただけではウォレットは（無効な）アドレスを受け付けません。
この後もステップ 2 に従って、アドレスを確認する必要があります。
4. コピー＆ペーストを使ってアドレスの一部を検証します。例えば、1PjpEgknyKxQKXtMcYFDym8odkfohFGkuiというアドレスに送金したいとします。コピー＆ペースト後、貼り付けたアドレスから「yKxQKXtMc」を選択し、Ctrl+Cを押します。次に、Ctrl+F、Ctrl+Vの順に押して、アドレスの一部が元のアドレスと一致するかどうかを確認します。送信元が本物であることを確認してください。メールも偽装されている可能性があります。

5. o_e_l_e_oさんの提案をここに追加します。

you are absolutely right here.
it would make more sense to simply create a new wallet and then generate one or more new Bitcoin addresses on Electrum. this would reduce the attack vector to a single wallet (Bitcoin Core)

Posts above already informed you that you can not search for posts and post content with BPIP so I won't point it out again.

About searching on the forum with the forum search tool, it's not too good but if you know some search tips, you can do your searching better a little bit. Otherwise you can use third party search tools like Google or Ninjastic.space, now is Bitlist.co or talksearch.io or loyce.club

That's more than you need, even if you are planning to have everything on the same server.  I've ran Bitcoin Core, ElectrmX, BTCPay, LND, and a mempool docker container on my own hardware with 4 cores and 8GB of ram.  Never had an issue, but my system wasn't available to the public.

Eventually I upgraded to 16GB of ram because I wanted to run a Monero node on it as well.  It probably wasn't necessary, but synchronizing the blockchain may have taken a bit longer.  The ram usage spiked during synch, but became very low after that.

That hasn't been necessary since version 4.6.2

Such tag will not be a problem for me as it will not affect my account in a bad way.

What if the person reports it, is the punishment permanent or temporary ban?

It will just be a short PM that will be sent ones. If no response, that is enough to know that the person is not interested.

It can not work out that way because it would be just one person one interview in a month with interesting questions about bitcoin, Nigeria and cryptocurrencies.

I am not a fortune teller to know what is going to happen, but I am sure many websites got closed after we reported them for phishing in the same way.
But if someone has time and wants to report it directly to hosting provider, than go for it.

Why keep it open all the time when it literally takes around 5 seconds to open Tor and get connected?

Very well said. Thank you. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to address my questions. In doing so, you’ve enlightened me and alleviated many of my concerns. I’ll prepare a full rebuttal soon, along with responses to your questions—rest assured, but I must get some rest first.

AI is quite remarkable, isn’t it?—Virtual fist-bump 👊

That was the intent.


I was more curious how far your AI was willing to go on the answers and what it will say, but my AI doesn't think you are being genuine at all here, smh, let's see what it says.

---

Through open discussion, evidence, and community judgment—not censorship. Credibility rises or falls based on public behavior and archived receipts.


No special rights are granted, but free speech applies equally to everyone. The forum does not guarantee comfort—only openness to expression and rebuttal.

Very little unless Trust feedback is misused. Disliking someone or their tone is not grounds for negative trust, but a person is free to do it, and free to be judged by others on their actions.


No. Stricter civility rules invite subjective enforcement and censorship. Bitcointalk is an adversarial discussion forum, not a moderated social space.


Respectability is determined by accuracy and evidence, not tone. Many correct scam accusations and dispute resolutions were delivered bluntly.

No. DT members are more accountable, not less, because their judgment is continuously evaluated by others through Trust lists.


Users are free to respond, disengage, ignore, or customize whose judgment they see. Participation does not require approval from DT members.


High-conflict contexts such as scams, trades, and reputational disputes naturally produce adversarial language. This reflects subject matter, not coordinated behavior.

If it occurs, it is visible and subject to social correction through Trust list exclusion and reputational scrutiny.


Evidence, reference links, neutral feedback, and reputation threads already exist, but no user is required to adopt a particular tone.


DT is opt-in, transparent, and rotating. Any influence exists only because users choose to trust that judgment.


This is a false binary. DT members must follow forum rules; beyond that, speech style is subjective.

That already happens organically when others stop trusting their judgment and exclude them from Trust lists.


The system minimizes favoritism through transparency and public Trust records.


DT members are not forum leaders. Moderators enforce rules; DT members provide opinions on trust that users may accept or reject.


No. Existing rules already address actual misconduct. Expanding rules to police tone would undermine free speech and adversarial debate.


Oh, and:
The failure to address these responses—or the refusal to engage with the facts presented—demonstrates a lack of understanding of how the Trust system works. Members who do not understand the Trust system should not attack, or attempt to prevent, others for exercising their right to speak and give opinions.

I think less than 10% of active users of this forum use Tor. Most people complain that it is too slow for them, but I think the truth is much closer to the fact that they don't care about privacy.

A campaign manager with significant number of members of forum users partnered with him can easily influence a decision in his favor (regardless it's right or wrong) if he has the power of DT. A DT member has to have unbiased position. A campaign manager never can be unbiased because his influence is highly related to money. It's a contradiction with the essence of the DT system. DT system should not be a power practice tool or pitching the power in business.

It's very similar with being a merit source too. A campaign manager shouldn't need to have a privilege of being a merit source or even earned sMerits. People can have different opinions but as a campaign manager my opinion is from my own experience in the field.

Thats the general idea, being a site that tries to mirror the forum, it’s only normal to assume that the intent is to still as many accounts as possible from unsuspecting users that might try to access the account and given that, our “i” and “l” keys aren’t that far apart on our keyboards, one might stroke wrong and be caught in the scandal.

Scammers with this much resource always try to cast a wide net which explains why, they would go to such length in creating a mirror site and asking for vacation loans, using some of the elite users on the forum so as to amass sympathizers but, they ought to know the entire forum is always watching, ready to discover and report to create awareness.

With a lot of reports on this, the host could take it down.

And independent thinking should be encouraged as much as possible. People support flags (or should do) cause they have gone through the details of the case submitted and agree that this is a violation, they can still have that independent thinking if the person who created the flag has changed their mind on it.
You can give a very detailed explanation of why you're removing your support and others can choose to do the same or not just as they did when the flash was started.

Kaya importante din tignan ung address, at pagkaclick saan ito magreredirect, kelangan talaga laging binabasa or tinitignan mabuti, madaming ganyan nagkalat, kapag hindi mo bubusisiin, mabibiktima talaga ng mga iyan, mas maganda kung iwasan nalang natin talaga ito, at wagnang magtangka, minsan ang pagiging curious ay nakapagpapahamak, lalo na kung post nila ito, dahil malaki din kasi kita nila diyan sa panloloko na yan, kaya siguro until now meron parin, wag nalang ntin itong pansinin, or wagnalang iclick ang mga link nila, para mas safe pa.

This is about the only viable option.

As LoyceV already said, the story doesn't add up. Already in midth of 2011 you needed some decent GPU power to mine crumbles of Bitcoin (pool mining, solo mining was already quite out of reasonable reach). "Old PC", lol, definitely not in 2013/2014, even GPU had no chance in that period.

Why is OP talking about Photorec and friends? I can't recall in his "story" that files were deleted or does "abandoned the file" means he foolishly deleted something. So much to his strong attachment to his Bitcoin dreams.

Yes, OP mentions few(?) read errors or bad sectors on his HDD. How reliable the numbers are is another story. You must be quite unlucky to have the damage at the worst spots to kill your wallet.dat, but shit happens sometimes...


200 bitcoins in 9 months without FPGA or ASIC miner in that period? Nonsense, you're wasting others time here!


If your HDD is degrading, the very first thing to do is a forensic image copy e.g. with ddrescue to get as much data off that disk before it further degrades or starts to fail in unrecoverable manners. There are chances that this leads to complete failure of your HDD, be warned.

What's the point of mentioning the Pizza Day event? Useless filling of your made-up story. The Pizza Day was in a completely different time and not relevant at all to your stuff.

Bitcoin-Qt 0.7.1 was released in 2012-10-19. Not sure why you would run that version when e.g. Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.0 was available from 2013-02-19 and 0.8.1 just a month later (no so important, though).


I don't buy your story... Anyway, I don't have to.

Being a campaign manager - participating in TD voting and other community functions like merit source contradicts my role. It's one of the reason I removed my trust list and blacklisted myself from the Merit source long ago :-)

However, ~excluding them is the right choice in my opinion too.

Because you already usually access the correct website. Because you're typing a different address, the alert appears.


In the meantime, has anyone made a complaint to Google?

 -About the editing part, I had understood before he explained agin, with other words,.
 but this part of the tie left doubts, what if everyone chooses the same price with the same cents?
 Will the criterion be by the order of time of posting,
 or will everyone tie and no one will lose life?

Not sure about search engine but my browser thought to give me a warning. I have no idea how it was done though :-D

LoyceV summed it up well.

As far as I know, the deadline for applications was 31/01/2026, but considering that it is only the first round and it is necessary to give the first prediction by February 4th, maybe the manager will accept your late application

btw. How will it be decided if we have a case where two or more participants wrote the same number? I don't expect that everyone will follow all the other predictions, in order to surely make a different one.
I guess it would be best to leave the prediction as "unique" as possible, if they differ even by a cent.

Seems my report marked good 😉

It comes with a swap feature: https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/basic/swap/

Apparently they use third-party software, so if the third-party exchange needs KYC, they'd need to ask for KYC from their clients.

Again, the problem is not the KYC, but the fact that services and apps keep changing their rules arbitrarily and without any solid justification and you don't know what to expect. One day you wake up and you swap 0.1BTC for XMR easily, the other day you wake up and they request for KYC.

If I have to do KYC, I need to know in advance, so I can choose whether I'll voluntarily give my data, or not.

I think @joker_josue is thinking about "dust change" instead of "change" in general, perhaps.
It's not difficult to imagine what will happen to a scenario where a non-tech-savvy end-user user with a single large value UTXO who has no idea what "change" is but ticked the "Donate change to server" option out of curiosity.
On the other hand, "Send dust change as donation to server" may have a valid reason to be implemented (if someone were to work on the idea)

On a side note, in this Pull Request on 2015: github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/1062;
Someone thought that it's a good idea to have an automated donation,
The developer pointed a few possibilities on how can it be adequately implemented but the author never followed through, so it's closed.

This is definitely the case.

If I edit one of my posts and reload the phishing mirror, I can immediately see the changes.

I wrote a small script to make 10 requests per second (sorry theymos ). It's working:


theymos can probably grab their IP and block them on Cloudflare.

Aba aba, nagiging wais narin talaga 'tong mga scammer. Makapal din talaga ata balakubak sa ulo nito at nakapag-isip pa ng ganitong modus. Buti napansin agad ito ni LoyceV.
Ang mahirap dito 'yung mga legit newbie 'din na pupunta dito sa forum, madalas kasi, even though marami ng warning, sadly, may mga nahuhulog parin talaga sa mga ganyang scams.

'Di ko na mabilang kung gaano karaming mga ganitong klaseng scam ang natanggap ko.  Auto block sa akin ang mga ganyan.
May mga impersonators din ako sa Telegram. Ni-report ko na pero walang paki-alam 'tong Telegram, ni hindi manlang na seen 'yung report ko. Hopefully talaga maging strikto na sila sa account creations ng sa ganoon ay at least man 'lang mabawasan na mga scammer 'dyan.

This month 113 users were eligible.

Post ko lang din itong post ni Loyce dito sa local board natin.

Well hindi na to bago dito sa bitcointalk. Para lang syang shilling project pero ito may kasamang pang iiscam kasi fake yung exchange na ibibigay like phishing link na or actually site na scam talaga like nagdeposit ka pero wala kang matatanggap for swap.
Una yung post (hindi pa edited) is looking for exchange daw sya na kung saan pwede mag swap BTC to Monero, then later on iedit yung post tapos ilalagay na yung site na sisinasabi nyang dun daw sya nakapag swap successfully which actually hindi naman, inaadvertise nya lang para makapag iscam sila like para masabing legit yung link or site.
So ingat nalang sa mga ganito. Don't fall in this kind of trick.

I don't know how to explain it more clearly.



If there are any special rules (such as not being allowed to edit your prediction), I will mention them. But by default, consider that you can edit your prediction before the topic is locked.

Lol, this is a good idea even though it's funny to me, cause if your draft gets up to 100 it auto clears but that is a stressful solution, but a solution nevertheless.
Having a single button to clear out draft is a pretty good idea though, and putting such features is so very easy since the site is mostly written in JavaScript, no biggie there, so yeah I second the notion of putting a delete button for drafts.
Although I don't really mind because I won't actively do whatsoever that will make me wary of my draft getting exposed, if I want to do that, I'll ask to contact somewhere else like telegram or X or something else

Hello Bitcointalkers,

Registrations are now closed. Lady and gentlemen, the game can begin !
But we are going to start slowly, calmly. No additional rules, no surprises, just the price of Bitcoin. And this will allow me to see if my assistant is competent.
Check below for the different deadlines. Two things are certain : there will be a winner, and one will be stressed out for the rest of the game because he/she lost a life.

Thanks for the reports, disabled OctoSwap for a while. It seems like an issue when the amounts are very small and the onchain fees are higher the output amount.

Oh, well, I just looked up my config and I did the same "smart" change because it seemed logical to me. The documentation of this config option on Github isn't very specific about this part: https://github.com/cculianu/Fulcrum/blob/ff93ce5a690ed86c65fecfd176bee0e8c8b7aad7/doc/fulcrum-example-config.conf#L285


That's a good idea and I like the reference for those who are willing to see it.


Those options are currently of very low importance for me, but good to know how to set them up properly for a public server.

I'm running Fulcrum 2.1.0 btw and so far am happy with it. I chose to build the database from scratch and not go the conversion path from Fulcrum 1.12.0 database. I had very few unintentional shutdowns of older Fulcrum and my database didn't seem to catch any corruption, but frankly I wasn't sure and confident it was still flawless.

I hope Fulcrum v2 does its magic properly and fulfills its claim that database corruption should be a thing of the past. Keeping fingers crossed.


I would want to keep important dialogs of Electrum as clean as possible and free of potentially distracting options. And I don't think many Electrum users would donate anyway.

As you say, few users even care to which Electrum server they connect. They probably just expect it to work and not being too slow. I can't say much about it as I moved to a personal Electrum server quite some years ago.

As it happens, after writing, I spent some time thinking about this type of case. 

In fact, it's best not to take the risk... especially since many users don't even choose which server they want to use.

I'm a fast typer, and this time I mistyped "l" instead of "i" in the address bar. It's not from Google or anything, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to find it there too.

Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any JS loaded - before I poked around the site I disabled Javascript in the browser.


Not yet. It would be sent to abuse@nicenic.net, right?

It might be interesting if Electrum created an option in the "sent" tab, allowing users to choose something like "send change to donate to the server." Then, whenever you make a transaction and want the change to go as a donation, you could simply activate that option.

Up to this. As i don't know how you end up getting there.

Typing the site url on my browser seems easier as browser always suggest the url before typing it full. I access the url and this pops up, a message which is very helpful.

LoyceV, you're still around?

I haven't been around much and was thinking that most old timers would be gone. But well, good to know some things remain.

Some countries do not like it when someone in their country uses TOR, and using it may result in a visit by the authorities. Some ISPs will block access to TOR. Even if neither of these apply, your ISP can see when you are using TOR, and using it may attract unwanted attention.

Sometimes doing things in plain sight is the best way to maximize your privacy.

Absolutely new mixers could emerge and locate here based on old articles that confirmed that mixers are promoted here as the oldest cryptocurrency forum. There's a very high chance that people who aren't aware that mixers are banned here are the ones making the mixed accounts.

It doesn't pay any serious minded person to waste their time look for loopholes to keep hiding to promote their dear brand.

Thanks.. Yes.. You are correct.  I fixed it in the original post.   I had put that "edit" in the wrong spot - and yeah, the edit was meant to supplement my response to Ninja.


It is not cool.

You should be crying while buying, not cheering.     


In this thread and other bitcoin related threads on the forum, guys are not too receptive to when guys refer to bitcoin and crypto as if they were similar things, so it seems better to be careful in using the term crypto unless you are clear about what you are referring to in terms of whether you are talking about bitcoin and shitcoins or if you are just talking about shitcoins.

Just because the media, popular people or even legislation might sometimes convolute the ideas of bitcoin and crypto, many times the convolution of such terms seems inclined towards either attacking bitcoin, pumping shitcoins and/or muddying waters since it is an unclear term and even a vehicle in which both shitcoin pumpers and sometimes the powers that be would like to faciltate vague and ambiguous terms.

Another thing is that it is probably better to use the term bitcoin as much as you can to be clear what you are talking about (to the extent that you might be referring to bitcoin), and it is likely also better to invest and/or study bitcoin first before getting distracted by shitcoins and/or other projects.  You likely would keep a better orientation if you mostly focus on bitcoin first, even though some guys cannot resist temptations to gamble so they end up putting some time, energy and value into shitcoins.. and I tend to recommend that if you cannot resist the temptation to gamble, then at least you should invest no more than 10% of your time, energy and/or value into shitcoins and/or trading (gambling with) bitcoin. .. .but hey, in the end, you can do what you like.


Sure if you post in areas that are interesting to you, then after a while you will get better acquainted with various forum members and other members will get acquainted with you, and you might get better and better at posting about various areas of your interests .. . .and many of us likely realize that sometimes forum interactions can become confrontational in regards to ideas and even sometimes personal attacks too... and sometimes if you are still learning about the forum you could get into trouble for breaking some of the rules or guys might accuse you of such.. ., which sometimes even the use of translation software might become problematic if it seems that your posts are being written (or assisted) by bots... . and some of these matters are changing.. and guys in this thread will usually quote which portion of their post was written by or assisted by a bot...


We are not always going to agree about matters, including matters related to prices, and there can sometimes be patterns of non-substantive posts that annoy some of the more experienced forum members.  I recall when I first came to the forum, I tried to post every day  and even several times a week, and surely in the beginning guys don't know you and they either ignore you or they might be hostile to you... and it seems even more challenging when some of the more experienced members (I might even find myself in this camp sometimes) come across so many shitty posts that are especially coming from newbie accounts, so we sometimes will lose our patience... and sometimes just keep posting in your areas of interest with somewhat decent content, and perhaps guys will get used to you, to the extent that they don't become overly annoyed by you.;.. hahahahaha

For myself, there are sometimes some members that had annoyed me, and then it might take a while before I get those annoying feelings out of my head... but yeah, some of us might take longer to warm up to.. and sometimes we might be better not confronting certain members until maybe they might ask us some questions or respond to one of our posts.. and that is both part of the getting used to each other process but it is also a process of sometimes trying to make sure that we are not getting too emotional about our posts, including presuming the extent to which other members like us or don't like us.

By the way, there was one point that I was keeping track of members that I like and don't like. I stopped doing it, sometimes members might find short-cuts like that to become helpful in their trying to keep track of their experiences with other forum members.....

....and also there are ONLY so many hours in the day, and maybe we have a few hours a day (or a few hours a week) that we are able to spend on the forum, and we might have to spend time engaged in some of our real world work and/or activities to try to improve our income situation so that we might be able to concentrate on building our bitcoin stash... even though surely some members end up finding forum participation as a decently good way to improve and/or supplement any real world income that they have, and some guys on the forum might get annoyed by some of those activities and/or even the farmed (fake) accounts that build up around certain members who seem to be abusing features like the signature campaigns.


Every once is a while shit will happen that ends up surprising us.  For example from April 2019 to June 2019 (3 months) the BTC price went up 3.5x from $4,200 to $13,880 before correcting back down.

We cannot necessarily measure those past times with current times, even though sometimes unexpected things end up happening in bitcoinlandia.

Also in our March 2020 recovery, the BTC price did end up going from $3,800 and into the $10ks in a fairly rapid time, yet that even took several months, but that was a BIG ass and even strange dip, too...and we might not really be in such a time right now, since even the dip in March 2020 and then the recovery through the whole summer, BTC did not get back to ATHs until December 2020.. so these matters can play out differently each time, including some aspects of our current market having expectations of great dips right now in line with entering a bear market, which might not end up playing out in accordance with expectations, yet I wouldn't know if some counter-explosive move to the upside could end up making sense in that kind of a scenario... including that sometimes there could be some BIG players who don't have the coins that they claim to have, and then a very great run to the upside could really end up causing them to imploding - and those kinds of things are not out of the question.


Oh gawd.. .   

You are lame.

What else is new?

What did you need to change?

I know that the Fulcrum config file has an option where you can specify the donation address, but when I changed it for my Fulcrum server, an Electrum client connected to my server didn't recognise or show the set donation address. So, something else is needed which I couldn't figure out so far (not of great importance for me as my Fulcrum Electrum server isn't public).

Or did you only adjust the banner message which your Fulcrum server transmits to a connected client?

Thank you very much, I understand why new members on the forum might have such doubts, and maybe that's why he said these things to me, anyway I'm sorry for what I said.

To be clear, I've been familiar with cryptocurrency for about three years+ ago, I tried trading in the beginning, and I've been observing the crypto market for a long time ago, I'm just relatively new to the forum, but that doesn't mean I have no idea about crypto, bitcoin, or anything like that.

I'm not very active on the forum, maybe I'll be active now, while watching various news about crypto and bitcoin (Because Bitcoin is very volatile right now), I came across the news that I thought might be shared here, so I posted it without any intention, Just to know everyone's opinion on this topic. but there I was told in a non-disclosure manner that I was coming here for qualifications and that I had nothing to do with the fall/volatility of bitcoin, I found the matter a bit disappointing, so I asked him to ignore me, I apologize for that, please forgive me @LoyceV.
