After a long hiatus, we are here, back with a nice surprise for the 17th anniversary of Bitcoin!

The official post by ddmrddmr has not been updated.

Official @ddmrddmr thread

First, the usual spreadsheet, where you see the two last sprees:

From the total merits submitted in the paired TICK-TOCK sprees, this is the largest on record since I began tracking the sprees!
The wait was well worth of this gargantuan spree @ddmrddmr!

Merit Spree #59 by @ddmrddrmr

There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr

My review:

TICK: This is the largest TICK spree so far. One metric that stands out is the low transaction-per-second rate. Digging a little bit into the distribution, we see there are two separate chunks of distribution. Maybe something didn't go as planned, and the spree got interrupted. Probably our mutual friend fixed something, and the TICK spree resumed!

Here's the TOP10:

Code:

1. Porfirii 38
2. famososMuertos 28
3. Rikafip 26
4. fillippone 22
5. Don Pedro Dinero 22
6. d5000 20
6. Amphenomenon 20
8. Hispo 16
8. danadc 16
8. Crypto Library 16

Even if it was the highest on the track, the number of merits to enter the TOP10 was not very high: 16 merits, topped this time by Porfirii with 38 merits, again, not a super-high number.
That's all, folks, for Merits Spree 59!

Merit Spree #60 by @ddmrddrmr

There is no Official Description; the official thread was not updated by @ddmrddmr

My review:

TOCK This second spree was fairly big: the second spree in history. Shall we explain this with the number of merits @ddmrddmr has likely been stacking during this long, quiet period?
Will we see more from him soon?

Here's the TOP10:

Code:

1. cygan 22
2. theymos 16
3. d5000 16
4. PowerGlove 13
5. EFS 13
6. TryNinja 12
6. LoyceV 12
6. katanic97 12
6. AakZaki 12
10. paco92x 11
10. hosemary 11
10. gmaxwell 11

Even if this was a single merits spree, the numbers are incredibly high: 22 merits to top the chart and 11 to enter the TOP10. Compared to other single-merit rounds, this is quite high.
I will start getting merit statistics for a single merits spree! So, 22 merits are the highest on record for a single merits spree! (merit spree 60!), while 3 merits are the lowest required on the record, together with spree #44, #46 and #48: wen two?

Time to call it a day!

See you at the next merit spree!

I don't think so, I just understood the pattern and looked randomly at posts and threads that got merit. I see DdmrDdmr doesn't distribute its merit on posts or Threads that have absolutely no merit before.

According to my analysis, the bot already has some kind of command such as, distribute merits to posts or threads that already have a certain amount of Merits before.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 07:10:23 PM

DdmrDdmr first added more Merit to a post of mine that he Merited before, then Merited multiple posts that he hadn't Merited yet, but many others did. So I guess this is how this "spree" was selected, probably fully automated.

he got me on 3 posts he had not merited before, each post had at least 6 merits, from at least 6 different people

To be frank I am still thinking how he does it, and of course I also get 2 from him on 2 different post that already gained several merits. At some point I was actually thinking that the bot could also be designed in a way where to merits the most interactive threads and topic of people and whenever they are collected then, he may decide to put the amount per post and then triggers it, it would automatically starts distribution. This is just my personal thinking but I could be wrong.

This means that there is a process of reading, assessing, and then deciding, even though it is assisted by automation tools.

Hi LoyceV,

I started using Arkham Intelligence recently and noticed it has an import list option. I was wondering did you ever make any more progress with this project? It would be great to get a list of addresses from you if you have one already... I thought I remember you creating such a thing at one point but can't find where it was. A .csv file of "name, address" would be ideal, I can just plop it in there. Thanks!

Quote from: DYING_S0UL on Today at 06:32:45 PM

-snip-
and surely he won't be meriting bad posts, rights? So in that case, how does he handles this enormous task?! Does he manually saves the posts he wanna merit and maybe make a list & sends it to his helping buddy? Huh

I don't think so, I just understood the pattern and looked randomly at posts and threads that got merit. I see DdmrDdmr doesn't distribute its merit on posts or Threads that have absolutely no merit before.

According to my analysis, the bot already has some kind of command such as, distribute merits to posts or threads that already have a certain amount of Merits before.
So in conclusion, the merit that is distributed is a kind of additional support for writers whose posts are indeed decent.

Yes I think so, because it is impossible to distribute 1411 merits manually. Cheesy

Verification - Hash cracking gives me a password candidate. Full wallet lets me verify it actually works and extract the keys.

The hash should be sufficient to verify a working password.

Quote

Trust model - The encrypted file without password is useless to me. I can't steal funds I can't decrypt.

That doesn't make sense, unless your goal is to steal funds.

@LoyceV
You're right. And you've actually helped me articulate something I was already building.
My current workflow asked for encrypted files because it was simpler to explain. But I'm developing a SaaS platform with a trustless architecture:

Client extracts hash themselves (or uploads encrypted data to client-side tool)
Only the hash/encrypted key reaches my backend
Cloud GPU infrastructure does the cracking
I return ONLY the password
Client decrypts on their own machine

I never touch private keys. I never access funds. I'm a password recovery service, not a wallet access service.
My business model is reputation-based. One scam = dead forever. Thousands of successful recoveries = sustainable income. The math is obvious.
Updating my OP to reflect this. Thanks for pushing the clarity.

Hero of Good: Theymos, LoyceV, pooya87

Not because I have sent nor received messages from these users but from how they are posting.

I like how Theymos banned mixers, he updated the ban few weeks ago. He is a person that thinks very well before doing anything and he always trying to handle things on this forum professionally. I even thought that theymos may not be a single person but people that do meetings before posting on this forum. He is very professional on this forum.

LoyceV can be hard on a thread very well but I think sometimes if he is theymos because his posts are truthful but it carries weight. When many people are making use of the trust system wrongfully, he post about it if there is a thread referring to it. He is good in technical aspects of this forum and he devotes his time in updating his important topics on this forum which is not something that is easy.

pooya87 is good in technical aspects of this forum, he is good in political matters and also other aspects. What I like about him is the truth he do say about the world. He is also a very good merit source, he is not a racist.

Code:

Forum Ninja: LoyceV, JayJuanGee, DdmrDdmr

LoyceV is not in any signature campaign but he continued to post on this forum as usual. I will not say more than that, read what I posted above about him.

I have not seen JayJuanGee in any campaign before but he continue giving merits and posting no only on wall observer in on threads related to bitcoin and bitcoin wallets.

I will give DdmrDdmr because as he is not present on this forum anymore, he is still updating some of his topics and he is still sending merits to few users.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: hosemary, Cookdata, Mia Chloe

I have visited the technical boards countless number of times. Also some post about bitcoin that is not related to technical boards, these are the real bitcoin geeks but there are many other real geeks but I can only mention three.

Code:

Best Event:[Voting 2025] Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk 🍕[1], ANN - 2025 Bitcointalk Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest [2], 🎄 NAIJA BOARD 2025/2026 CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR CONTEST🎄🎉🎇 [3]

These are the three main events that I think of, they impacted into the life of many users on this forum and they were very entertaining.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: promise444c5, AakZaki, Satofan44

I choose promise444c5 because be created Banned Users Identifier, he posted a topic called Verify GPG Signatures for Electrum [ Mobile], he posted also about hardware wallet. You can go through his topic history to know what I am taking about.

I choose AakZaki because of how he bursted people with many alternative accounts on this forum.

I choose Satofan44 because he is new in this forum but he is posting good, his trust feedbacks are bad but I hope he will change.

Code:

Help Buster: AakZaki, lovesmayfamilis, Ultegra134

If you visit AakZaki topic history, you will see how he linked many connected accounts that can increase possibilities of spamming on this forum. He is a good forum member that dedicate his time to burst the spammers. It was him that let us see accounts that are more than 10, connected to a single person or possibly account farming.

lovesmayfamilis is a very good forum member, I like how he is the most active person bursting users that are plagiarizing which makes this forum unique and less free of plagiarism. I did not select her just because of that, but I also noticed that he is active on the AI spam report reference thread that Nutildah created.

I think Ultegra134 is the most active poster on the AI spam reference thread in 2025, reporting AI spammers. This is the reason I selected him.

There are still other members like Nutildah, and ABCbits that is having a thread for those that are posting rubbish on the technical boards. I wish I can select more.

Code:

Craft Master: PowerGlove, Inspace, TryNinja

Code:

Local Hero: Rikafip, joker_josue, Julien_Olynpic [158]

I first selected Rikafip because of the monthly local board statistics that he is losing, it even made my findings easier and better. You are a valuable forum member.

I selected joker_josue to be the second because he really worths it. I even think if I can let him be the first that I should choose but all counts the same. He is really posting g on the local board and I think he is the highest poster if all boards posts are also compared.

On the Russian board, I would have taken klarki but I just have to pick one so I picked Julien_Olynpic but both of them really tried this year posting on the Russian biard. Jokers10, you were trying also, but did your activity reduced later strating from August. But you all tried.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: lovesmayfamilis, SatoPrincess

Undoubtedly I will choose lovesmayfamilis, you can read what that I have posted about her on the Halp Buster above for me not to repeat myself. She deserves this.

SatoPrincess deserves to be there also because she is the second person I noticed but I started to notice her more during this December with some topics that she posted.

I do not noticed any third person, probably because I do not check most people's profile to know if they are men or women.

Quote from: Satochi-savers on Today at 09:36:18 AM

Time will tell. Results over words.

So why are you asking for full wallets when (in many cases) a password hash is enough?

@LoyceV
Good question. You're right - for wallet.dat and Electrum, a hash is sufficient for cracking. I use bitcoin2john/electrum2john like everyone else.
But here's why I ask for the full file:

BIP38 - No hash extraction possible. The 6P... key IS the encrypted data. That's the format.
Verification - Hash cracking gives me a password candidate. Full wallet lets me verify it actually works and extract the keys.
Trust model - The encrypted file without password is useless to me. I can't steal funds I can't decrypt.

Your challenge is a perfect example: you gave me 12 BIP38 keys. Without the password, they're just strings.

What fee rate has been the lowest since some nodes have been accepting less than 1 sat/vbyte transactions?

I've seen 0.15 sat/vbyte get confirmed, but a couple of months ago I waited about a month to get 0.22 sat/vbyte confirmed. It varies

On December 26, many transactions were confirmed with the fee rate of 0.11-0.12 sat/vbyte.
I am not sure, but this may be the lowest fee rate at which miners have included transactions in the blockchain normally so far.

For example, see block number 929,473.

Quote from: Satochi-savers on January 03, 2026, 08:47:16 PM

Even at 200 p/s = 1,500+ years.

Of course, I'm not stupid Tongue

So here's my counter-proposal:
👉 Give me ONE piece of information:
- Exact PIN length? OR

I can give you this, as it was in my original post already: 4 digits.

Quote

If you provide this, I'll crack it and prove my methodology.

Lol. No you won't. But good luck trying Tongue

@LoyceV

Fair enough. Your challenge is designed to be unsolvable
without real info - which is exactly why I work WITH clients,
not against impossible puzzles.

When you have a real case with partial memory, you know where to find me.

Time will tell. Results over words.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 01:38:32 PM

For now, I'd send them with a very low fee, say 0.18 sat/vbyte, assuming you're not in a hurry to get it confirmed.

What fee rate has been the lowest since some nodes have been accepting less than 1 sat/vbyte transactions?

Quote from: Pmalek on Today at 04:25:34 PM

1 sat/vByte is no longer the lowest fee rate that you have to pay for your transaction to be broadcast by nodes. You can pay as low as 0.1 sat/vByte.

I think this is not advisable because the mempool has not become so less congested down to 0.1 sat/vbyte, but 0.2 sat/vbyte transactions has been confirmed.

For faster confirmation, 0.3 sat/vbyte is the best fee rate.

Challenge accepted, LoyceV. 🎯

I've analyzed your puzzle and I appreciate the elegance of it.
My system (Box of Pandora) achieves 200+ passwords/second on BIP38
- that's 20-40x faster than standard tools.

However, I need to be transparent about the mathematics:

[PLAQUE] × [PIN] × [FIRSTNAME] with unknown:
- Country/format of the plate
- PIN length (4? 6?)
- Language of the first name
= 10¹³+ combinations minimum

Even at 200 p/s = 1,500+ years.

This isn't a test of recovery tools - it's a test of human memory.
And that's EXACTLY what serious recovery services need.

So here's my counter-proposal:

👉 Give me ONE piece of information:
- Country of the license plate? OR
- Exact PIN length? OR
- Language/nationality of the girl's name?

If you provide this, I'll crack it and prove my methodology.
If you refuse, you prove the challenge was designed to be
unsolvable - which actually supports MY point that real recovery
requires client collaboration, not just brute force.

Either way, I win. 😉

Amici della board, fellow bitcoiners, rieccoci, anche questo mese, anche se *Ace* non si è ancora fatto sentire, sento la pressione per la pubblicazione del mio report.
Le giovani generazioni giustamente reclamano spazio sulla board, e devo dire che il nostro amico si è dato parecchio da fare... quindi devo difendermi.
Il mio report "classico" è pronto, con i suoi tempi, mentre il report del mio giovane compare è, come avete visto, pronto dalla mezzanotte ed un minuto del primo gennaio.

Quindi, sento una pressione altissima sulla puntualità.
Oggi mi ci metto a lavorare, nel vero Capodanno, il 3 gennaio: il compleanno di Bitcoin.

Anche dicembre è passato; le aspettative erano altissime, ma sono state tradite. Abbiamo dato uno sguardo nel baratro, ma il mercato ha dimostrato resilienza, aiutato dagli sviluppi positivi nelle altre asset class.

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!

My example is of a person who, out of everything negative and aggressive, does something tolerant, freethinking and condescension.

I had to look up the word "condescension", but I hope lovesmayfamilis doesn't mean what I now think it means Tongue

Okay. I'm not a native English speaker, so perhaps the first two words would be more appropriate for you, as your patience and ignoring any conflict demonstrate your strength to me. And strong people are often calm. But yeah, your "joke" about enjoying giving merits to someone who's about to be banned (knowing it in advance) doesn't sound like kindness at all. Tongue

- In the process -

Code:

Craft Master: TryNinja, Hhampuz & taufik123

I took 3 best names from 3 fields that interest me, @TryNinja with his tools that help forum activities, @Hhampuz with all his great campaigns that have a long term time & @taufik123 with all his amazing crafts.

Code:

Help Buster: AakZaki, nutildah & ABCbits

Some users may question why @AakZaki is the first choice, why not @nutildah or @ABCbits?

I've subjective view on this, realizing @nutildah & @ABCbits are consistent on each of these two topics:

- AI Spam Report Reference Thread (nutildah)
- Users who spread false/fake/unhelpful information on technical board (ABCbits)

But @AakZaki is different, he's currently making a difference in our local.

Code:

Local Hero: Husna QA

With all his dedication & my respect, I'm making sure he's the only one there. There's no one else like him in our local & if he's no longer active in our local, IDK what will happen next. He has many masterpiece topics, you can all see them here. You guys know what I mean, right?

Sending the inputs once to your cold wallet will consolidate them as a single output.
I think 1 sat/vbyte is fair to consolidate them now but if you want to go sub 1 sat fee rate, you will have to connect your electrum server to servers like electrum.loyce.club, there are more alternatives servers that accept less than 1 sats/vbyte here

He can use 0.3 sat/vbyte which is more than 3 times less than 1 sat/vbyte.

According to what I found out here, 0.3 sat/vbyte will be very good: https://mempool.jhoenicke.de/#BTC,24h,weight

With 0.3 sat/vbyte, the fee will reduce to around $4.8 which I think is better.

To use a server that will accept less than 1 sat/vbyte is not hard to set up.

I have used 0.3 sat/vbyte countless number of time on Electrum, Sparrow and Bluewallet.

Adding to that he can also check out the LoyceV's 0.1 sat/vbyte Electrum Server Adventure where links of other threads also present about how to use electrum to broadcast TXs with less than 1sat/vb.

As I checked TXs with 0.27sat/vb are included in blocks so he can use 0.3sat/vb to consolidate the inputs or just send directly to the address he wants too that will reduce the fee atleast 3x cheaper.

Code:

Hero of Good: - LoyceV

My example is of a person who, out of everything negative and aggressive, does something tolerant, freethinking and condescension.

Code:

Forum Ninja: - Tryninja

Without his site, the forum would seem one-handed to me. Archives are a treasure trove, disliked by scammers but respected by those who value history.

Code:

Bitcoin Geek: - Jayguangee

You only need to read his posts to fully understand the value of investing in Bitcoin. He's a very patient teacher, even for the most difficult students.

Code:

Discovery of the Year: - Satofan44

A kind of "indicator" of others' nervousness and psychological state, he forced many to remember their egos and excited their pride and grandeur.

Code:

Craft Master: - Little Mouse, Hhampuz

1.A true gentleman who knows his craft well, and it's always a pleasure to be part of his company.

2.He's also a highly respected man who knows his craft and has earned a sea of respect and recognition from virtually everyone on the forum.

Code:

Help Buster: - nutildah

He will always be the best for me because he will find what seems to be buried under the ocean.

Code:

Local Hero: - m2017

He is the only one to whom I can write in my native language.

Code:

Miss Bitcointalk: - igebotz, SmartGold01

1.He suggested to me that anyone can be a woman on the forum. See the post:66225270 Well, let it be so

2.This woman has achieved the position of a source of merit, which proves her maternal care for her people.

Member SFI saat ini lebih banyak aktif dibanding 3-5 tahun lalu, namun tidak banyak yang aktif di SFI mengapa?, tentunya bukan alasan.

Walau saya ini gak terlalu fokus ke Meta, tapi saya tahu penyebabnya, yaitu banyaknya signature gambling.

Member SFI hampir semua ngepost di gambling, mereka jarang pulang ke SFI (walau manajer tetap memberi kesempatan mereka untuk ngepost di lokal setidaknya 5 post).

tentu ini jadi persoalan besar, karena pondasi dasar forum itu adalah komunitas, dan board lokal (walau sering diacuhkan) merupakan dasar utama forum ini untuk berkembang.

disamping itu juga, multi akun juga menghambat SFI berkembang kayak board Rusia, dll. Karena mungkin, akun lainnya sudah ngepost di SFI, jadi tidak ada bahan lagi untuk alt akunnya untuk ngepost di SFI.

Saya tentu tidak menyalahkan dan menghakimi mereka yang main di signature gambling, lalu jarang pulang ke SFI, tapi setidaknya 5 post minimal di SFI dimanfaatkan mereka untuk pulang kampung dan tetap meramaikan SFI.

Quote from: taufik123 on January 02, 2026, 08:08:19 AM

Seperti beberapa thread atau postingan merit potensial contohnya:
Mengerjakan LN Quest dari @NotATether 🔥 GingerWallet.io | LN Quest ⚡Up to 50 merits
Bisa dapet Up to 50 merit dan @Aakzaki Kayaknya udah dapet reward 30 merit dari LN Quest tersebut, saya juga OTW ngerjain tugansya belum rampung-rampung.

Saya rasa itu gak masuk hitungan, karena itu di luar board Indonesia, walau dapat 100 pun gak bakal masuk list di distribusi penerima merit SFI. Kecuali kalau dapat merit 50 di sana, lalu 25 smeritnya di distribusikan ke member2 SFI.

Quote from: MAAManda on January 02, 2026, 11:13:03 AM

... seperti tidak konsisten karena satu & lain hal, topik ini tetap bisa berjalan sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Saya juga sudah memberikan contoh nyatanya di topik member SFI yang lain...

Kalau bicara konsistensi, saya rasa cukup berat bagi member untuk update data thread tiap minggu. Dulu saya pernah mencoba antara tahun 2019 - 2021, di thread Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard Indonesia, dan thread DT 2020 - 2022 [Info] DT 1 dan DT 2 Berasal Dari Indonesia cukup lelah dalam kurun waktu 3 tahun tersebut.

Saat itu saya mencontoh DdmrDdmr dan LoyceV yang selalu konsisten (hingga sekarang) yang selalu update Bitcointalk merit dashboard, sama Complete overview of users on DT1 and DT2 and their ratings

Mungkin OP saat ini bisa, dan mungkin akan kontinyu ke depannya, namun lengah sedikit saja, atau males-malesan untuk update thread selanjutnya, saya yakin akan sulit untuk istiqomah update data selanjutnya.

kalau untuk minta bantuan member lain untuk update thread, saya rasa itu sah-sah saja, di thread 2 saya itu ada juga member SFI yg bantu mengupdate data, malah bagus jikalau OP kelupaan atau sibuk di urusan lain.

*note: kedua thread saya tersebut tidak saya lock, dan masih bisa saya lanjut sebenarnya. Tapi ya karena sudah banyak thread-thread baru yg sejenis, bisa lanjut ke thread baru saja.

Don't ask what this forum can do for you, ask what you can do for this forum! (my free interpretation of the famous quote)

I was told this some years ago, that as a beginner, I should think of how to contribute to the forum and not the other way round.
But it's unfortunate that we no longer have new users that contribute to the forum, most are here to milk the forum through the signature campaigns.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 29, 2025, 05:45:50 PM

You have (literally!) posted the wrong address in all your 4 posts so far.

Quote from: Cricktor on December 30, 2025, 10:11:54 PM

Are you kidding me?

You guys are probably having your time wasted by a language model (I'm not saying that OP is a chatbot, I'm just saying that there's very probably a chatbot in the loop here).

Let's see... Posting a malformed Bech32 address, then having that mistake pointed out to you, and beginning your response with: "Thanks for pointing this out — you’re absolutely right"? Roll Eyes

^IYKYK

And then going on to share the same address along with an (incorrect) explanation of why it was wrong to begin with and why it's now correct (even though, logically, there's no way for that statement to be true)? Yeah, that's AI. Cheesy

(This is very off-topic, but, man I hate this stupid "AI revolution" that some people seem to get really excited about. Every time someone manages to convince me to try the newest/largest models and see how great they've reportedly become, I always end up thinking less of the person who made the recommendation. If you actually try to engage with a language model using subject matter that you're very well versed in, you'll quickly see how incorrect it often is and either how instantly apologetic it then becomes, or how illogical it then reveals itself to be. I think most people find it to be a convincing imitation of intelligence because they engage with it on subjects that they themselves know very little about, and so they can't really tell/see just how confused and simple-minded it is. The last time I tried to chat to one, about something very close to my heart: MS-DOS, the DOS/4GW era of PC gaming, and some of the programming-related arcana of the time, I remember leaning back in my chair afterwards, and thinking, "Huh. That was a very nice simulation of what it might be like to have a protracted back-and-forth with an overconfident and extremely well-read imbecile.")

Tether announced they'd discontinue redemptions and freeze remaining tokens on Omni and a few other legacy chains, effective Sept 1, 2025.

If they can do this and get away with it, how are people still trusting Tether on other chains?

All stablecoins are tokens that can be frozen, minted, burned and upgraded by the issuer. There may be exceptions but that is not the norm. That is how things work, you are simply out of date. While it may not be considered normal or desirable, it is the standard and has been for a decade. How else would they be able to freeze any tokens that are suspected to be part of criminal activity, other than when they hit some platform?

Generally many tokens used a transition method and they tend to have cut off date for claims, otherwise they would have to support it indefinitely. They can never be certain if some balance is lost or whether someone is simply not responsive to the change. Often they do this when changing from a different layer of the same blockchain or when transitioning to another blockchain.

Quote from: flapduck on Today at 11:42:18 AM

Also, hunting for a whale/recovery service in public is like putting a "please DM me scams" sign on your forehead. Cheesy

That is a general problem that has no good solution. If someone is not connected or does not have contacts that are in similar position, how else do you find people? You can either announce publicly or approach privately. However, private DMs of this kind are even more scrutinized so eventually OP would just get his account blocked by Telegram, X or wherever else he would try that.

Those are normal Mullvad prices if you pay with crypto.

Yep, there is a 10% discount if you pay with bitcoin or monero.

Quote from: Synchronice on January 01, 2026, 03:55:22 PM

Guys, what's the best VPN for streaming and/or gaming? From my experience, NordVPN was the best, it offered the highest speed and lowest ping.

Mullvad. Works like a charm for me, and doesn't have that annoying thing that in order to get a good price you have to pay yearly sub, like with many other VPNs.

Quote from: Free Market Capitalist on Today at 03:32:16 AM

I wasn't going to distrust them for just one feedback that I consider incorrect but after this to LoyceV, I think the time has come. I am distrusting lovesmayfamilis and DireWolfM14 while they keep those greens tag on his profile.

After the incident with LoyceV, I'll be removing my tag, as it's clear the guy is in agony, going beyond all reasonable limits. I'd agree with his comments about some others, saying the forum is full of people who simply milk it and rewrite the same thing a thousand times, but tagging LoyceV is clearly a sign of illness. I was hoping for a change in this user, but apparently my attempts to see the best in people have been fruitless.
But as for you, Free Market Capitalist, I'd also ask you not to trust me, and I'll reciprocate, as I don't know anyone as argumentative as you, ready to start arguments at every turn, even online. Your arguments with AB de Royse777 were the first example, and now they've only confirmed it. Ignore me and don't trust me; please do so. Tongue

Oh, how silly those early bets must have looked now (including mine) 😁

Nevertheless, grats to the winners and thanks for the GA!

Quote from: bitmover on December 30, 2025, 08:48:25 PM

I understand that Monero had a good performance this year, but holders lost a lot of money holding it.

What did I miss here?
XMR holders have lost money while keeping Monero?! Monero, which had 120%-150% YTD in 2025. Not bad at all for one of the major altcoins.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 31, 2025, 07:51:47 AM

Who's holding Monero? I get the feeling the price is more based on actual usage, and it often seems to move in the other direction: when Bitcoin goes up, Monero goes down (and vice versa). At least in the short term I get the feeling Monero is more stable measured in dollars than it is when measured in Bitcoin.

I guess "who's holding Monero" is the rhetorical question.
Monero is still being mined. What you describe could perhaps be attributed to the fact that miners sometimes sell xmr to cover costs, which are related to fiat

Quote from: LoyceV on December 24, 2025, 08:54:11 AM

You're not hallucinating, just a tad slow Tongue

I never discount the latter being the case. Don't yet look like a turtle, but give me 10-12 years and presented with my picture, one might not be able to tell the difference--but I've already got the glacial pace mastered.

Quote from: LoyceV on December 24, 2025, 08:54:11 AM

I count 74641 Merits in 3 months, so about 25000 per month on average. I'd say that's enough: there are much less posts than when Merit was introduced, while good posters aren't restricted by Merit for ranking up.

If there weren't any signature campaigns, this conversation would not exist, nor would the hundreds that have taken place in the past about ranking up. There are fewer of them than there were in 2018 if my memory serves me correctly, and spaces in them are much more limited; so you're probably spot-on about that number of merits being enough for the whole forum; I hadn't considered that until today. Certainly there aren't a lot of complaints about it being too difficult to rank up, get merits or any of that stuff that was common a few years ago.

difficile avere un rateo così alto. dovrei rivedere un pò le metriche di calcolo, magari mettere un paletto minimo, 5 merit ricevuti e 5 merit inviati

translation: LoL, with these merits received and sent, you will actually be included in the January report Grin

It's difficult to have such a high rate. I should review the calculation metrics a little, maybe set a minimum threshold of 5 merits received and 5 merits sent.

Quote from: Outhue on Today at 07:03:28 AM

I am in no way saying this is a good idea on the side of the buyer but sellers do sometimes have good reasons to sell their accounts.

Selling their account means possibly tarnishing their past for the sake of a little bit of Money. I am aware that there are some Accounts worth a TON of Money but they would probably never sell it anyway. LoyceV would probably be able to sell it for as little as 5,000 Dollars if not the double of that. But what is the point?

The way Leo left by asking for his account to be banned is in my opinion the most respectable way to do it. He could have sold his if he quit anyway. But he did not, and it is a good thing. Imagine all of us exchanged our Account owner ship at some point, you would not know who you are talking to any more and always had to make sure the person writing is still the one you used to answer to.

In all honesty. The ONLY reason most people purchase a Bitcoin Talk Account is to immediately be able to join Signature Campaigns.

And that's it, 2025 is over. It's time for the results.

But first, let's summarize the performance of altcoins, which we can definitely call shitcoins.
Only a few shitcoins manage to outperform BTC. The big winners are Monero and gold.

Congratulations to internetional, paid2, and LoyceV.

The most surprising thing is that, for once, the winner didn't select the best-performing shitcoin (XMR). It was all about the proportions of his selection.

As usual, I will wait 2-3 days so that everyone can check that I haven't made a mistake. Then I will contact the winners by PM to ask for their BTC address so I can send the rewards.
(What worries me a little is that paid2's last login date is 28/11. I hope he's looking to buy his third house and he will be back soon).

Thank you for this year, it was truly special (a little thought for Woodie

), and the suspense was definitely there.
Be careful when trading shitcoins, don't forget to take your profits.

For the other contest, I won't hide the fact that it seems compromised (or else I will have to go through the hassle of charging participants an entry fee...).

However, even performing the factory reset does not guarantee complete security, especially if the phone was manufactured by Chinese company. China relevant phones are subjects of concerns about potential surveillance features that may be integrated at the hardware level. So to be on the safe side I would destroy phically the chip ^{on board} relevant for all kind of communication with outside world.

If your device comes with hardware level surveillance, destroying it is already too late. You should never have used it for any sensitive information.

Agreed. It’s better for OP to buy inexpensive, older‑model new phone rather than rely on the used device. Spending a few dozen bucks on such phone won’t strain their pockets too much, but it can help them avoid the surveillance concerns in the long run. At least, that’s how I would do it keeping in mind the goal of minimizing any potential data leakage from my device.

Pada gambar diatas saya sengaja menampilkan gambaran Distribusi Merit oleh Moderator kita dbshck
Saya berfikir pada gambar tersebut memiliki pesan tersirat, yakni "Distribusikanlah merit secara merata dan tempatkan pada tulisan yang tepat (Bukan Untuk Farming)."

Terlepas dari itu semua, Thread ini saya buat untuk sekedar mencatat dan merangkum data Distribusi Merit yang beredar di Sub Forum Indonesia.
Isinya murni statistik siapa yang sering mengirim merit, siapa yang paling banyak menerima dan siapa yang paling aktif posting.

Tujuannya bukan untuk menilai benar atau salah, apalagi menghakimi user tertentu. Data ini hanya sebagai bahan pantauan bersama, siapa tahu bisa jadi referensi diskusi atau sekadar arsip komunitas ke depannya.

Semua data diambil dari aktivitas publik Bitcointalk dan beberapa referensi di ambil dari Ninjastic.Space dan Merit Dashboard.
Kalau ada yang kurang, keliru atau ingin menambahkan sudut pandang lain, silakan langsung disampaikan dan diskusikan.
Harapannya Semoga Thread ini bisa membantu meningkatkan kualitas diskusi dan kesadaran bersama dalam Mendistribusikan Merit di Sub Forum Indonesia.

Sebelumnya saya akan menampilkan Data Distribusi Merit sepanjang tahun 2025, lalu akan di lanjut update secara berkala mungkin seminggu sekali untuk keberlanjutan Data Distribusi Merit ini.

Selain nama yang tercantum di gambar saya juga mau mengarsipkan semua nama yang terlibat dalam distribusi merit tersebut.

Why would I do that, if I can do the same on Mullvad for $0.18? Wink

You can get Mullvad VPN for even cheaper if you purchase from their official resellers network. For example, a 1 year subscription would normally cost €60. At serialcart.de, you can buy the same for €53.49. At digitalgoods, it's €54. Mullvad officially links to these two sites from its website. Perhaps there are even better deals from unofficial sites.

📊 Distribuzione Post per Child Board

Dove si è concentrata l’attività della community nel 2025?

Childboard	Post (2025)	Post (2024)	Variazione
Italiano (Italian)	8378	10448	-2070
Guide (Italiano)	197	65	+132
Progetti	93	54	+39

Discussioni avanzate e sviluppo	79	75	+4

💡 Osservazione: La sezione "Guide" è quella con la crescita maggiore (+132 post), seguita da "Progetti" (+39) e "Off-Topic" (+66). Le sezioni tecniche come "Mining" e "Alt-Currencies" perdono interesse. La community si orienta verso contenuti formativi e discussioni generali.

Why would I do that, if I can do the same on Mullvad for $0.18? Wink

If you look it like that for one month, than LNVPN is $0.1 for one day but you can't purchase Mullvad for one day as far as I know Wink

There is no guarantee Mullvad will be here forever, so I like to research possible alternatives.

Quote from: Zwei on December 30, 2025, 07:41:12 PM

they are listed on kycnotme, but most of the reviews there are about eSIM and phone numbers: https://kycnot.me/service/lnvpn
and from the looks of it, their VPN have data transfer limits and not that many servers (only 12).
i honestly don't see myself using their VPN.

This is where I first heard about them, on Kycnot website, and they have good reputation for everything they are offering for privacy.

I understand that Monero had a good performance this year, but holders lost a lot of money holding it.

Who's holding Monero?

I don't hold it

I received a few times as a payment, and I confess that I don't like to receive it as a payment.

Since I usually receive small values, such as $30, $80, etc, it is hard to convert, and usually fees are very high. Some services have a minimum of $100, others charge a base fee like $2 + 3-4%, whatever...

I just checked and splash.tf doesn't have a so minimum value for the exchange, which is good. I will use it the next time.

Quote

I get the feeling the price is more based on actual usage, and it often seems to move in the other direction: when Bitcoin goes up, Monero goes down (and vice versa). At least in the short term I get the feeling Monero is more stable measured in dollars than it is when measured in Bitcoin.

The problem is that btc is going up most of the time Cheesy

This explains the XMR performance in the past decade ...

Sometimes I appreciate a good drama but the fundamental basis for this thread is based on a flawed premise. Its flawed because holy jeez, who cares. He's not out trying to scam people, he's obviously not positioning himself to build trust for a scam. If you think he needs tags for hurting peoples' feelings, thats on you.

One of the only times its appropriate to leave non-trade-related red tags (IMO) is for specifically trolling DT, and that's more you than him.

As much as I'd like to take credit for the saying, my brain at the best of times seems like it just crawled out of the sea and there's no way I would have come up with it. I could take a big crayon and write it like a dunce wherever you like though.

It's not all about me, but I'm curious: are you talking about me there?

Are you kidding me right now??? You of all people? Heck No! It's far from you. You are even one of the few members I like and respect in the forum. Your way is liberal, and your correction is unique. And even if you are strict sometimes, there's difference between being strict/factual and being uncultured and mean. The latter partly represent the character of the person I was referring to, and I used "partly" because, psychologically, he is worse in my assessment.
<snip>
Can you see that this is not your character?

People are usually a bad judge of themselves unless they've been given enough hardship in life to allow long periods of self-reflection. I've had such periods and still find myself clubbed quite badly by my own hand--so thank you for the objective perspective. Yes, I really really did think you were describing me.

Regarding the post deemed AI-generated, I've also responded in the report thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456516.1740). You can check it out.
Thank you again.

To Aakzaki, I hope you can retract the negative tag you gave me. The address YOSHIE provided isn't mine. It's the contract address for a token when it's swapped. so it was a misunderstanding.

Even if the wallet connection is invalid, the status of this case should not be 0, because related to other evidence, you can't argue? How would you explain it all?

You've been on the same Bounty. The more you point out the stupidity, the more I will find other evidence. later I will show you below.
But before that, how are you going to refute this other evidence?

Quote from: AakZaki on December 29, 2025, 03:24:22 AM

Based on your findings as well, this is no longer a casual observation, but rather a pattern and data based finding, as outlined below:

This combination of indicators further convinces me that these accounts belong to the same individual:

Accounts created close to each other
Identical writing style
Repetition of distinctive errors
Spamming in the same threads
Consecutive posting patterns
Merit related connections
Very specific shared interests
Avoiding the Indonesian Local Board
Previously listed consecutively in Bounty

Don't say it's a coincidence, because something is considered a coincidence if it happens once or twice. But if the same thing happens over and over again, it's part of an organized plan.

Like this Thread page that I archived. https://web.archive.org/web/20251230115452/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5545447.msg65866581
Try to pay attention to these big names in the picture, this is the merit network of the Solokan account. on the other hand, there are posts from the following names that are on same Thread page. Then what if this is not organized?

Solokan - Rollbit
Tamaperdana - Rollbit
Arenga pinnata - Rollbit
Jatiluhung - Bitsler
Kaliandra -

I will show you evidence of other Wallet linkages, but the view should not be separated from the image of the Merit Network.

I will bring another name in my new find, namely the account name "Ahli38"

Hi Brother, babo , JollyGood , LoyceV , Satofan44 , YOSHIE , stompix , nutildah , lovesmayfamilis
In my local case the case is very different, I will more easily analyze the connection of the account When there is a suspicious Merit abuse relationship. After an investigation, it was proven that there was a wallet that was connected. I will emphasize again referring to the proof of someone's confession that I posted earlier. They are HUGE ACCOUNT FARMING.

Quote from: LoyceV on Today at 06:23:56 PM

choosing a VPN feels a lot like installing software: once I trust one, switching to another one only adds to my risk.

This!

The only thing that would make me change them is if they turn to shit or stop altogether. As long as they are working like they are now, I have no interest in trying anything else on the market.

To avoid further confusion: this address does exist and does contain ~0.7175 BTC, which can be verified here:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qgn5raset2n9m0npn50xnyadmlvdgctgdtum3mv

Some explorers (including mempool.space and blockstream.info) incorrectly reject this address, which is what caused the earlier verification issues.

Are you kidding me? Not even blockchair.com accepts this address as valid and mempool.space isn't faulty about the invalidity of above address either (I don't trust blockstream.info). What kind of broken links do you spread or what kind of weird malware do you have on your system, possibly? LoyceV already pointed out that every posted occurence of "your" address is faulty and an invalid Bech32 address.

bc1qgn5raset2n9m0npn50xnyadmlvdgctgdtum3mv is invalid because it has a checksum error, see here:

Now you need to change your personal text and embark on a new adventure towards Legendary rank Wink

I already changed my text, but for the legendary adventure, lol... It's scary to even take a step.

Why would that be a scary step? You need less than 500 merits to reach Legendary rank, and in one year that's quite achievable. On average, you need a little more than 1 merit per day, which is by no means an impossible mission.

You are very correct, it's possible... Just as I could get lucky on a special day and receive more than 1, just like LoyceV extended my merit count. It seems my lucky moments have started, just for encountering you. This will remain memorial to me.

I wonder if some merit sources who have some unspent smerits could finish meriting a post and get curious to check the person's post history to know if they deserve a few more merits.

It happens. But that takes more time than asking you to post some of your good posts in Report ~~unmerited~~ good posts to Merit Source so I can easily Merit them. Please do this

Thank you very much. I will use this thread from henceforth. I feel real good this season.

Quote from: Forsyth Jones on December 25, 2025, 07:40:36 PM

Speaking of which, is it just me, or has Monero been outperforming Bitcoin this year? I thought that because Monero is extremely niche and prohibited from being supported on exchanges, it would hurt its price.

Monero more than doubled, Bitcoin dropped slightly, gold increased 70%. Monero is one of the few altcoins that did good this year, the large majority lost against Bitcoin.
Buying a privacy coin on centralized KYC exchanges doesn't make much sense, removing this takes away the speculation from people who aren't even withdrawing. So that makes me believe the value of Monero is more and more based on it's actual usage.

I think thay it is important to mention that monero price is still lagging behind a lot compared to btc, eth and most other important coins.

Monero price is very similar to 2017, when btc was worth like 5k usd...

I understand that Monero had a good performance this year, but holders lost a lot of money holding it.

I hope that the address I mentioned above can be checked by truly reliable members such as LoyceV and others, because I know that only they are truly capable of analyzing on-chain data.

I try to avoid anything related to "analyzing" altcoin chains.

apart from ethereum, analysis on other chains only brings headaches unfortunately
I also get fed up with doing it, it annoys me to do it, I don't know if it's because I have a certain rejection of using alts or simply because I'm too used to bitcoin
I honestly can't tell

In any case, good job guys, for the analysis and for the investigative skills.

There is a lot of manipulation in this market, but some people finally realized the real value of having privacy coin that is full fungible, so yes monero performed very good this year.
If you look at street price than difference is even more obvious.

Quote from: TryNinja on December 25, 2025, 08:52:02 PM

I guess fewer exchanges means way less trading and speculation (fake leveraged ups and downs) and more real demand from privacy people who actually use the coin to buy and sell stuff online. Cheesy

I many websites that seel stuff I always see bitcoin and monero on top, with all other coins being more like statistical error.

Silver also increased a lot, but I don't know the exact numbers.
They delisted monero from most centraslized exchange and they did everyone a favor

Even Splash exchgange said that monero coins are gone very quickly and they are not easy to purchase for a good price.

Quote from: examplens on December 26, 2025, 12:57:18 PM

You can also add Zcash (#ZEC) here. Which also has privacy features and has significantly outperformed many major coins, especially in the last quarter. Plus, ZEC is still present on most CEX, much simpler to trade and manage than XMR.
I've seen on other networks that there's a lot of discussion about whether Zcash can enter Monero territory.

It's only listed as Zec on centralized exchanges and that is not private at all, that is only optional with addresses starting with Z.
This coins is probablycreated by one middleeast government agency I would never use it.

Thank you for explanation.
I still believe nobody should have a chance to climb the trust ladder knowing they were never trusted with corn, data, files, info or anything else valuable and showed that they are trusted.
being a newbie is not a crime. Tagging a newbie for something should never ever gain any trust.
as again, its not insurance.
Trust system is not a solution.
What i want is my trade receipt, provenance and date stamp of how i got the item.
If escrow providers or sellers thing i need their trust = they are wrong.
i need trade coint/ event stamp.
instead of rank and trust system. all members should be equal and if needed we could keep "trade count" it would mean people do not trust you but all what they say is that the trade took place.
Because now some new people buy and get no feedback.
i asked this for years, did those new people used different bitcoin? or why was they filtered for?
nobody ask the damn trust. give us the receipt and we are ok.
i hope my explanation will make sense as english is not my native language.

Thanks

Turned out just fine for this guy. Perhaps it is time to get more involved Laura instead of being a sidelined jeet. Many shady scammers are obvious here, but it is business as usual for most of you people.

Someone told he was on DT1 once.

Someone was wrong, he was on DT2 but that didn't last long. All it takes is one DT1-inclusion to get there, it's not a big deal.

Should not be on any trust levels if he does not understand trust by default.
even if he say he does, it is just what he say.

Thank you!

I miss the days when I would report hundreds of accounts and Mods would actually get rid of the bad ones (after checking them). I don't get why Bitcointalk is now so lenient on (mindless) chatbot plagiarism, but it's very demotivating for humans to have to wade through bots.
But worse than that: it makes me fear the future of Bitcointalk. Lazy dumb chatbot spam will only become more accessible, and as long as there's money to be made I expect the usage to increase until the Dead Internet theory becomes a reality.

I really miss the days without AI crap Tongue

I see people use this tools more and more for all kind of abuse trickery, and I am sure government and military used this tools for decades before releasing it in public.
Future for all forums is not looking good, and I have no idea how to remain minimum of healthy conversation... except maybe moving more to Ivory Tower and similar boards.

Are you trying to say that some botchats are capable of doing their jobs right without been detected? I thought this forum is very good at keeping the space clean, no bot can go undetectable on this forum as far as I know, what am I missing here?

Quote from: Solokan on Today at 12:25:34 AM

And if what I say is true, then it means you have slandered me with data that you haven't even checked thoroughly.

Clearly many members have read all of the excuses given by account farmers over the years. Reading a defence with the words used above makes you seem to be even more suspicious than before. Not all of this is simply down to English not being the first language, I think there is much more going on.

Quote from: Solokan on Today at 12:25:34 AM

I know I'm not a great poster.
I'm not even as smart as you guys.

I only got into crypto when I was already pretty old. I'm from a rural area with limited language skills. I even sometimes use Google Translate to translate languages I don't understand. And I also use translation tools like Google just to join in the discussions here. with several edits, of course. Because my language is sometimes not translated correctly.
But it seems that translating words with Google Translate can actually make our writing appear to be written by AI. I just found this out.
I won’t ask you to believe me. But I hope that when you want to accuse someone of something, you’ll investigate more calmly without rushing to judgment.

I’m even too lazy to respond to this. But I only found out about this topic after seeing a red trust on my profile today. Honestly, I’m very sad about this. But I’ll leave it up to all of you to believe me or not.
This might be my only response here. Because I don't want to waste my energy dealing with an issue I don't even understand.

And I apologize once again for my posts, which, despite my best efforts, turned out to be nothing but trash to you anda just be spam. I will try to be better even now.

I hope that the address I mentioned above can be checked by truly reliable members such as LoyceV and others, because I know that only they are truly capable of analyzing on-chain data.

Thanks and Goodbye.

One name I still remember strongly was "Ratimove". And as far as I remember, he used to add useful topics to his thread (I think his thread name was 'Encyclopaedia CMIIW'!) so that newbies could get useful information in a quick way, but sadly we lost that gem, and he passed away.

Ratimov had his nickname changed to Symmetrick, went kinda nuts, started name calling, deleted every post he could, backed out of a sponsorship, and eventually was banned. He single-handedly destroyed his reputation and left.

I think it's now two years since the user Ratimove (Symmetrick) left the forum, and the forum moved on without them and many of them that left the forum as well.

My main problem with Symmetrick is the fact that he deleted almost all the possible valuable posts he made that are useful to newbies; he could have left the posts to benefit the forum users since he made them for the forum, but since he decided to delete them, he became less valuable and was forgotten so easily by the forum users regardless of all the good contribution he gave newbies and other community members.

Many users left the forum and will still always be remembered because they left a good legacy of knowledge to the forum; users like o_e_l_e_o because of the contribution he gave to the forum in making sure we value our privacy, and other members that were very good and shared good knowledge with the forum.

Therefore, no condition is permanent; members will come and go. Let's focus on how we can help others.

I did not find a connected Wallet, because Kaliandra's account was previously in the SwC Campaign whose payment was sent directly to the SwC website

At a glance I could see that @Solokan and @Kaliandra had made a transaction and they had both sold the POL bounty token proceeds to one exchange via the polygonscan wallet.
Both sell collect tokens to addresses: 0x9B4d3882c1503399a731251ace5f2937c849A478

Proof of transactions and transfers can be seen below, @Solokan and @Kaliandra collected the sales proceeds to one point, the address above.

On the other hand, it can also be proven that both of them have also made transactions to the addresses: 0xC4e56d75e6017c1503152c26Aa8B74A3d821B38c, gather to one point.

Of the two transactions, I suspect both are Alts controlled by one soul.

Talking about cheating, maybe not now, they're on different sig campaigns, but back then yes they were cheating on campaigns:
1. Topic: 🔥✅🔥 [BOUNTY] DIGICOM FINANCE🔥✅🔥 A DIGITAL COMMERCE 🔥✅🔥
2. Topic: 🔥✅🔥 [BOUNTY] DIGICOM FINANCE🔥✅🔥 A DIGITAL COMMERCE 🔥✅🔥

I think you know more about crypto or altcoin tokens than I do. And it's impossible that you didn't realize this on purpose, right?

Check the address again (0x9B4d3882c1503399a731251ace5f2937c849A478)

There's even a very clear contract icon there.
I'd be really embarrassed if you didn't even know this.
Even I, who's still new to crypto, at least know how to tell the difference between a contract address and a regular one.
And it's funny that even Aakzaki seems to have hit the jackpot and confirmed it without checking and analyzing it first. Whereas he used to say he even had an exchange service, right? He should definitely understand this stuff.
This is like not understanding the basics at all. (Is this the same Aakzaki?)

Check again—it’s not the destination address for sales, but everyone who owns those tokens, whether from Bounty rewards or from buying on DEX sell on dex, will interact with 0x9B4d3882c1503399a731251ace5f2937c849A478.

With respect to the DT members whom I greatly respect, please help check the following address

OC tokens used to only be able to be swapped or exchanged on the OXChain DEX itself. Please check all the swap exchange history there, and everything will be almost the same when interacting with that address.

If consider satoshi as the forum admin, he is not the first user. The first user would be sirius who later became a forum admin too.

@AakZaki
Honestly, these seem like very weak coincidences to me. It's okay to chase away people who abuse, but as @LoyceV says, let's avoid turning this into a witch hunt.
if there was some connection of wallet addresses or different wallets sending to a single wallet, I would agree with you like all the other times
but making assumptions just because they start writing with lowercase letters or because they use a common word in their language often seems exaggerated to me.

I have a lot of respect for that opinion, but apart from that, all of this is no longer just a coincidence.
I will show you the screenshot below, whether you have read it or not.
When I showed this screenshot, someone immediately made a claim and said that "Most accounts" of the name in that screenshot were his, remember "Most Accounts". and they asked my friend to persuade me not to reveal the multiple accounts.

Quote from: AakZaki on December 27, 2025, 02:19:48 AM

-snip-

I strongly oppose the incident here = Menentang Ketimpangan Distribusi Merit Yang Tidak Pantas di Lokal Indonesia.
After my thread was posted how surprising it was that a person who had an account whose name was in the screenshot, sent a message to my friend and then forwarded the message to me which contented: But most of the screenshots here include my account and Heru’s, so I kindly ask Zaki to be considerate.

The phrase “most of” in that message suggests that someone has more accounts, which may be abusing campaigns or bounties. That is why I consistently expose linked accounts.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the multi-accounts have been claimed by three people who asked my friend not to be revealed by me.

My suspicion is not without foundation but the existence of facts and data as below, the account I mentioned in the OP also has a Merit relationship with the account I have disclosed before. This account farm is huge, do you remember I once uncovered more than 20 connected accounts in one thread?
This does not rule out the possibility that they were also part of the previous farm or this was part of the person who admitted the three people.

*Note: The name crossed out on the image is the one I have revealed before.
Meanwhile, the name I gave the red arrow in the picture I recently revealed, because they are still in arrears to Shasan.

My observation is now more branched, after the above confession.
This is another case according to my observation, but this is still around the name in the screenshot.

ashmodeus admitted with his new account that the account had been hacked, so it was marked RedTrust by @LoyceV .
But my observation is not because it was hacked, but because it was sacrificed to avoid being monitored, because this account is connected to another large account. Everyone can notice it here https://bitlist.co/search?content=pepew&limit=20

Still stuck grinding on AI the best I can...

I wouldn't expect much from a language model.

It's been almost a year since you started this topic. Can you post a summary of the current state, and why this isn't resolved yet?

.
🔒 THE GOLD STANDARD
AI Helper Cheat Sheet
Early Deterministic Bitcoin Wallet Recovery (2009–2011)
Orientation · Memory Alignment · Discipline Only
This document does not help you recover a wallet.
It helps you decide whether recovery is even a coherent idea — and when to stop.
0. Non-Negotiable Framing
This is not:
a wallet generator
a recovery guide
a tutorial
a suggestion engine
a guessing aid
This is:
a memory-alignment tool
a constraint validator
a discipline enforcer
a lie detector (for you and AI)
If clarity does not increase, stop.

1. Who This Is For (Almost Nobody)
Proceed only if all are true:
You used Bitcoin before standards (2009–2011)
You know you used a custom or manual deterministic pipeline
You still have the actual inputs
You remember constraints, not just ideas
If this feels educational → stop.
If this feels like recognition → continue.

2. Historical Ground Truth (Lock This In)
In 2010:
“Raw key” = a scalar (integer)
Often written as 64 hex characters
No checksum
No prefix
No metadata
No compression flag
It was a number, not a format.

3. Hex Is a Lie (By Omission)
Hex is:
a human representation
Hex is not:
byte order
encoding
serialization
interpretation
Two people can write the same hex and mean different things.

4. The Endianness War (Why Everyone Fought)
Confusion came from:
libraries returning byte arrays
internal little-endian storage
humans thinking big-endian
People argued about representations while holding the same number.

5. Scalars ≠ Byte Arrays (Critical)
Scalars are numbers
Byte arrays are layouts
Endianness changes arrays — not numbers
Libraries handed out arrays with no explanation.
That killed wallets.

6. What Elliptic Curves Actually Output
Curve multiplication gives:
a point
with X and Y
It does not give a “private key”.

7. Why X Was Used (Then)
Early tooling often:
exposed X
ignored Y
explained nothing
Not wrong.
Just underspecified.

8. Serialization = The Kill Zone
Curve math is endian-agnostic
Serialization is not
The moment X becomes bytes, assumptions matter.

9. What “Little-Endian” Really Meant
Usually meant:
Use the bytes exactly as the library gives them.
Not:
reinterpret
normalize
re-encode
“fix”

10. Padding Culture Did Not Exist
In 2010:
padding was explicit
normalization was manual
wrong length:
failed
broke silently
or died later
Nothing saved you.

11. Primitive Reality (This Is Huge)
AES
block-based
demands exact byte lengths
padding/truncation is fatal
wants bytes, not “characters” or “ideas”
SHA / HMAC
stream-based
length flexible
padding handled internally
different failure modes
Starting primitive determines where mistakes kill you.

12. PBKDF2 ≠ HMAC (Never Confuse This)
HMAC has key + message
PBKDF2 has password + salt
PBKDF2 uses HMAC internally — but roles are different
Reordering or relabeling them creates a different system.

13. Salt / Role Switching (Historical but Dangerous)
Yes, people reused outputs as:
keys
salts
inputs
But:
only works if roles are remembered
without role memory → guessing → branching → eliminate

14. Determinism Was the Goal
Early pipelines optimized for:
determinism
control
explicit behavior
Modern pipelines optimize for:
safety
recoverability
UX
These goals conflict.

15. Compression Wasn’t a Thing Yet
There was:
no compression flag
no choice
nothing to remember
Later wallets invented those rules.

16. Wallet Acceptance ≠ Key Validity
A key can be valid and still rejected because:
missing prefix
missing checksum
stricter parsers
The key didn’t change.
The rules did.

17. Variant Reality (Read This Twice)
There was no canonical script.
There were:
AES pipelines
hash-only pipelines
HMAC-centric designs
PBKDF2-centric designs
MD5 / SHA-1 sightings
zero IVs
truncation
black boxes
Similar descriptions ≠ same pipeline.
If multiple variants feel equally plausible → stop.

18. Entropy (Say It Correctly)
If inputs were:
16 random bytes → 128 bits
32 random bytes → 256 bits
independent
Input entropy = 384 bits
But:
output is a secp256k1 scalar
ceiling = 2²⁵⁶
You hit the maximum Bitcoin allows.
You do not exceed it.
That’s optimal.

19. Why Both Inputs Are Mandatory
By final KDF:
inputs are role-entangled
no recoverable “password”
no partial leverage
Missing either input = nothing to attack.

20. Quantum Resistance (No Hype)
Classical brute force: 2²⁵⁶
Quantum (Grover): ~2¹²⁸
Correct statement:
Quantum-resistant to the maximum degree Bitcoin allows.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Thats the true

21. Branching Rule (This Is the Anchor)
✅ Branching is allowed
❌ Interleaving is fatal
Rules:
One pipeline per chat
Freeze assumptions
No inheritance between branches
Dead branches die cleanly
Braiding ideas = death.

22. Process of Elimination (The Right Way)
You do not need full recall.
You do need:
the real inputs
remembered constraints
elimination of entire classes
discipline
Elimination must remove families, not add guesses.

23. AI Hygiene (Critical)
Never treat AI as authority.
Red flags:
it fills gaps you didn’t remember
it merges hypotheses
it keeps you moving when clarity drops
it avoids saying “not enough information”
Rule:
If AI adds structure you didn’t bring — it’s guessing. Stop.

24. Reset Discipline:
Stop.
Assess.
Gather what you actually have.
Start a new chat.
Drop this cheat sheet again.
Never rescue a bad thread.

25. Verification Rule
If it matters, verify it twice elsewhere.
If it can’t be verified — stop, reassess, reset, continue.
Persistence ≠ thrashing.

That is my summary.

LoyceVs PM publisher.
BitcoinTalk PMs from a forum ninja.

Thank you for these suggestions. LoyceV's PM Publisher is good but as I understood, you have to use it the moment you send a PM, it's not usable if you already sent a PM to someone else. I also don't want my PM to become published and readable by others. I simply want to have a proof that I received a certain PM from one user. I can prove that by logging in to my Bitcointalk account but the problem is, what if Bitcointalk goes down? How can I prove my PM? It's a little bit complicated and I can't talk in deep detail.
Btw can you explain to me how Ninja's Bitcointalk PMs work?

There is an easy and simple way to save messages from your web browser.
First select messages you want to save, than go to your browser menu and select Print, and Save it in PDF format.
This should work both in Chrome, Firefox and in all other forked browsers.
You can fit more pages per sheet, remove headers, and remove headers.

That's not the best proof because that part can easily be modified. If you archive a forum post via web.archive.org, that's great proof that a certain post was really posted on this forum because no one can modify what web.archive.org archived. I'm looking for a similar solution but for PM.
