I think the policies of each company will be very different and will certainly be adjusted to the needs that are really needed. because we know that accepting payments with bitcoin can be sure there are profits and losses that must also be taken into account because price movements change all the time, which results in those who are not familiar with bitcoin will think to accept.

you are one of the very lucky ones that can make payments using bitcoin because almost many countries are still hesitant to be able to provide a policy for bitcoin to be used as a legal means of payment. because many countries still take into account the situation with the conditions and rules that must be prepared and certainly not easy.

I guess people who see bitcoin as boring really don't know how to make money simply as that.

I mean if they want a fast phase game then definitely bitcoin investment is not for them as you need to have a lot of patience.

But if you are really into investments, you will have to understand that it will take time to grow your money, like in bitcoin. When I joined the market, it was like ~1k, now look at the price, it even hit an all time high of $68k. So it has grown tremendously over the years so it's not boring per se if you see your money growing over time.

Hello all,

I am wondering if it is possible to recover an old wallet from 2011-2013 without the key phrases. I believe I have the backup but I am not entirely sure. The folders/files I have are:

blocks (file folder)
chainstate (file folder)
database (file folder)
testnet3 (file folder)
.lock
banlist.dat
db.txt
debug.txt
fee_estimates.dat
mempool.dat
peers.dat
wallet.dat

I am currently synching Bitcoin Core to maybe help locate the wallet address first.

Not really sure what I am dealing with here so hopefully I can get some insight on this situation.

Thanks in advance!

Literally, every time you change the subject of the topic just to make yourself seem right about one of your claims. And you're also being rude. I'm trying to understand and justify your hate about LN, but utterly fail. There's probably something wrong with you.

Millisats is a lightning thing, but the amount is rounded down when the channel is about to get closed and the commitments are signed in BTC. So, if you had 1mBTC and 1msat in the LN, you'd have 1mBTC funding commitment transaction ready to be broadcasted in the Bitcoin network whenever you wish to.

Leave liquid out of this. We're talking about the Lightning Network now.

Gentlemen, I beg you to help me. Due to the epidemic, I lost my job and my mother had a stroke not long ago. To this end, I not only sold almost all my cryptocurrency, but even carried a heavy debt. Maybe for whales, a few eth, or even a BTC, is nothing at all. But what they see as insignificant can save me.

These days, I'm thinking. If cryptocurrency has evolved to Dao, can it help poor people like me? Why can't we create a Dao that provides certain medical relief and life relief to each other?

If there is such a Dao, it allows anyone to join through KYC. He only needs to buy a certain amount of insurance every month to be eligible for relief. Such Dao does not need us to give money to life insurance companies to make huge profits. We just need to help ourselves, help each other, everyone for me, I for everyone.

We can even build strong communities. If we require community residents to participate in collective online activities every month, they can stably obtain the qualification to be relieved. Then, our community activities can even be commercialized, and the funds obtained can be enriched into the vault.

The goal of this Dao is not to make community residents rich, but to protect them, give them relief and give them hope for survival when they are in trouble. How beautiful should it be！

I have no technical ability to implement such DAO code, but when I was in trouble now, I suddenly thought of people who met with disaster under COVID-19. We know that since the COVID-19, rich people are getting richer and richer, and the poor are not only poorer, but also more middle class. Under such circumstances, can't we unite?

I know that there are many senior encryption technology researchers here. You have strong technical strength and even enough money. I hope you can achieve such a Dao, an autonomous, mutual aid, non anonymous and secure insurance organization.

I won't post the proof of my disaster and the address of my wallet here. If you are willing to help me, you can email me and I will prove it to you. If you are willing to be such a Dao, you can continue to say your thoughts here.

Thank you for reading! I always talk at length, but I'm really not calm now. When I think about the debt and my mother's illness, I feel very sad and heavy.

Yes, I am a Chinese.

Exactly that is not important that which subscriber you were because in the end we all continue at some positions but the main point of concern is to show support to the channel and i firmly believed you were early subscriber of the channel even though you don't subscribe to most of them easily.I was also among the ones who subscribed it fast but don't remember at which position i was.

On the other side i was surprised to see myself with most posts on this thread among other members who were actively taking part in the discussion about the channel.Seeing the community support and his last post and pools the channel is not abandoned in my opinion so hope for the best.


Yes it take lot of efforts and equipments to make high quality video and you need to do lot of editing with different softwares and filter the content throughout the video and it take team combined efforts to publish the video and maybe Cyrus is not having big team to support him but yes the true enthusiast are also ready to watch it in the low quality also so not much of worries about that.But i don't think people are doing much of efforts these days to make video about bitcoin and there is huge difference in video these days as most of them are crap related stuff and here is how the time has changed these days:


So hoping the channel video fade out such things and bring more true picture about forum and some bitcoin related events to educate the people correctly.

Yeah there could be some video sponsored to the specific members that have contributed best to the forum as i have suggested to interview them once but most of them wants to remain anonymous and doesn't want to disclose their identity but yes some prominent members discussion on forum journey would be good to watch among viewers also.

Don't know who he is because we only have few seconds of glimpse of him like all the viewers in which he changed three t-shirt's  and introduce the forum and then go away.Will disclose who the white robot is with time 

Waiting for the magic to happen and like exciting audience just coming here every week to see if the magic wond has just flung to unveil the channel video out of closet.

You can keep your bitcoin through a hard wallet or even in electrum wallet.

When a country banned bitcoin, they usually ban transactions only, so your transactions cannot be legal but you can always keep it and bring it anywhere you go. I'm sure on some countries like China, altough they ban bitcoin trading but I'm sure there are some people who are holding bitcoin because it's possible, the only way to stop people from holding bitcoin is when the government ban the internet, which is impossible.

It has been more than two years that the world has been faced with the corona virus. each country has sought and created the best vaccine in the form of medicine.
Is the world now safe against the corona virus, what do you think?

It was close friend of mine who introduced me to bitcoin and it was completely new term for me at that time but similar to other's I also did the same mistake and underestimate it or say ignored the concept without any investment and at that time was few dollars only but my bad luck.Slowly it gained momentum and i came across it once more so decided to dig deep about it and then realised my mistake.Invested few amounts then but sold some again for funds required but glad that i still hold some stash in it and will hold it for long term.

One thing about the Metaverse: I think it will work for some things... not for others. Example: I checked out the Ariana Grande thing on Fortnite... WTF was that ?!?! The whole thing just felt like a video game or some kind of a barbie adventure quest. Is that what people want ?!? Personally, I'm a guy and also happen to be a musician so I want to see Ariana ( the real Ariana, not some 3d Barbie doll ) sing, look sexy in her cute costumes, flirt with the public, interact with the other musicians, dance , talk to the public in japanese , etc. The nice graphics and all that ? Maybe for a music video ( even then, I prefer the real Arianna as we can't make CGI sexy yet ). True that we can't put 2 million people in a concert hall , but we certainly can stream the video concert on PPV ! ( or sell the DVDs ). So I'm not sold in the whole Metaverse thing for concerts, I don't think it works for boybands or boy singers either... most teenage girls want to feel close to their idols, occasionally jump onstage to hug them, and sometimes even get a free backstage pass to hang with them.

It is possible to attack or even invade another country without declaring war. Both Iraq wars and the war on Afghanistan were not preceded by a formal declaration of war. It is also sometimes necessary to attack in response to an attack against your homeland.

IMO, Milly was basically inviting a preemptive strike by China against the US.
Trump had a goal to leave Afghanistan within a certain timeframe. Trump was not going to leave Afghanistan without the conditions in Afghanistan being appropriate.

I'm having an MBA degree on Marketing. Due to COVID19, we are having classes online. However, we had a term paper submission and presentation on "Deceptive Advertising". I have selected the freebitco advertisement and had presented their Bait and Switch method to attract newbies to have click on their site.
The advertisement is- "Win $200 bitcoin per hour" which I think totally a deceptive advertising. Through this, I was able to give a little hints about bitcoin among my fellow mates and my teacher. I felt lucky when teacher asked me what bitcoin is actually after my presentation, I gave a short answer to them.
This was really great achievement of me, it may not be to you. I feel lucky if I get a chance to talk about bitcoin among my country men.

Possible if he/she, they are still alive.

I don't know if there's a need for him to come back and surprise us. What he has done is more than enough already. Well, if he comes back and sees the project that he started is already big, he'd surely be proud of it.

Hi Everyone hoping anybody can help me out!

BTC was sent from a Binance account to my Trezor. Binance generated the receipt showing Completed however no coins arrived and the TxID generated from Binance is nowhere to be found on any Blockchain explorers. The receiving wallet on Trezor is a bc1 (Segwit), it is not faulty - has received BTC pre and post this anomaly.

Few days later Binance sent a notification to the sender advising them that they sent the BTC on the wrong network and Binance cannot recover the coins.

Please help!

How do I go about either pulling the BTC through to my Trezor or have it bounce back to the sender.
This is all my savings on the line and more, so hoping somebody can help me!

I tried setting up Electrum on all the different networks available and linked to my Trezor however it doesn't bring up anything. Cant even see my existing coins on it despite setting up a Segwit wallet also? Perhaps Im doing something wrong, can anyone help me please?

Hello,

I have been working on developing a "vanity pool" for split-key address generating. You can read more about it here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=84569.0

As the Vanity Pool is starting to take shape and working okay, it's time to look into getting some split-key generation software going (a "vanity miner" if you will). So I'm setting a bounty of 10 Bitcoins (plus whatever gets donated) for member of the Bitcoin community that will create software with the following features:



Or in more human language - allow one to generate split-key vanity addresses on a GPU at a decent rate and automate work fetching from the provided website. The website for testing the solutions is available at

https://vanitypooltest.appspot.com/

and running on Testnet. More bounties for vanity-mining-related software will be coming in the near future, so keep a lookout.


If anyone wishes to increase the bounty, the donation address is:
1Cuw26gA2nhuqjBELwL6QGG89RsqfaV3v8
The current total is:
10 12 BTC

EDIT:
The bounty has been claimed by samr7 and his oclvanityminer:

More or less all investments are risky , no investment is risk free but we should learn to manage this risk to make our investment profitable. Risk management is very important tool in finance which we learn by experience and through training programs. Investment in crypto assets is comparatively  more risky in the short term but in the long term it is highly profitable if you invest in Top 10 crypto currencies including Bitcoin and history of Bitcoin has proved this fact again and again.

I am a newbie. There are so many different websites, articles, information about cryptocurrency that it is hard to know which sources to trust. What do you recommend?

"Crypto"?  What the fuck is that?

Jojo.. you gotta know better, no?

Hasn't no one learnt you nuttin properly yet?


Ultimately, I agree with you OgNasty in respect that there are a considerable number of stories out there, but seems to me that Torque is expressing a certain amount of legitimate skepticism regarding whether some accounts are actually being genuine with us in terms of their actual stories.... and also there is a certain level of dumbness that comes through the average JoeBlow, even if he is being genuine... come into bitcoin and acting like he has some kind of BIG plan while at the same time lacking in a lot of fortitude and stay-with-it-ness .. in terms of actions speak louder than words.. and talking a BIG game is not the same as actually sticking with the plan without whimping out along the way.
