Happy to remove `Moved`-topics after a few days from. Was actually thinking about it myself as well. Just want to make sure people have seen them (and know why stuff was moved). Smiley


EDIT: Cleaned up the first page and will keep an eye on it. Wink
Exactly what I meant it gives the forum a better look in that manner even if the unorganised view wasn't very bad, interactive posts should be displayed more often like you have just done. Your activity is very decent thumbs up for that.

I'm imagining if it can be sorted automatically.
Example there are 40 thread in first page, then there are 10 moved thread moved with a post direction and 3 sticky thread.
Yeah it can and Mitchell just did. There are two ways to move a post one is to completely move its origin and the other is to move and leave a link to it from the board it was moved from moreoikea reference and I believe Mitchell was using the later.

It's all attended too I'll be locking this thread now.

Well our recent moderator and patroller, Mitchell has been really active in moderating posts especially in the beginners and help board which has been needed for quite a long time now. Anyways, moderated posts are kind of unorganized (in my opinion though). By moderated posts I'm actually referring to posts moved by moderators and locked ones too. Here is a photo off what I mean :

The screenshots may not be very vivid but you'll notice that there are a lot of gaps between posts that can be interacted with. It's not too bad but it's not too presentable either. My question is ; are there ways to push those posts manually other than when it gets push aside gradually from new posts and threads .

God I love this, people coming to reputation section complaining over irrelevant stuff,  inviting forum sleuths to start digging and usually finding something.
It's so funny it's enough reason to laugh. You'll basically come to an era where someone all of a sudden brings up drama on the. Reputation board after a long while of silence. The only thing that is not nice is when someone hides behind an alt to say something he's scared to do on a main account.

This particular stuff you are accusing a particular board of us something that happens on virtually every board it's basically like a normal thing even if it probably isn't supposed to be normal.

They basically gave a little with the income tax break but they're taking way more back with that fuel tax. Fuel costs will make everything more expensive and that inflation is going to be brutal. It's basically a case of getting a raise but watching prices go up so fast you're even worse off.

Re: Do you think casinos should have a specific rules to their vulnerable players

This is a case of one high-profile Chinese developer who charges a casino for exploiting his gambling addiction and lack of English proficiency, which resulted in a massive accumulation at baccarat tables.
Do you think that these charges can stand in court? Did Phillip Dong Fang Lee want to recover his losses through legal remedy?
Do you think this is going to be a bad precedent if Phillip Dong Fang Lee wins the case, and casinos should check the behavior of their players if they are exploiting their addiction?
If the player vulnerability you are actually referring to his based on an addiction status then obviously everyone would be given that specific rule or exclusion which would not be necessary if you ask me. A player being an addict is based off of his own personal issues and doesn't really depend on the casino. Managing addiction or preventing addiction is the responsibility of the gambler and not that of the casino.

Besides that every casino has a slogan which is gamble what you can afford to lose and avoid addiction also and that is enough for someone that is responsible enough to gamble.

Re: A brief of what you need to understand about fee rate and Depth

Priority in fees is for occasions and needs.
Sometimes I use the lowest of fees, and my transactions get confirmed asap, even below the expected time. One thing is for sure when it comes to Bitcoin transactions: the network gives you a lot of options when it comes to transaction confirmation and fees.
Please resize your image it's way too large. Anyways I think that's blue wallet but still those fee rates I see in your image is way too high considering the state I've constantly met the mempool at for weeks now. Of course you get a confirmation really fast but you are spending too much in fees.

The best way to broadcast a transaction is to first review the mempool to see how congested it is that way you can pick a nice fee that will still give you a decent confirmation time. Most wallets over emphasize high fees with enormous fee rates. If you use a wallet like Electrum, the better since you can see the depth the transaction would be placed if you broadcasted with that fee.

Re: A solo miner mined Bitcoin block 912632, earning ~$340K.
by

Noticed from Cointelegraph, a solo miner mined Bitcoin block 912632 and almost earned $340K. It's quite surprising to me, though, but the solo miner successfully managed to mine an entire block and was fully rewarded. I don't know if the miner had a lot of hash power or if he is really lucky.
Do you think the solo miner is lucky, or does he have something special to increase the hash rate?
Yeah it rarely happens but that doesn't mean it can't happen. There have been many occasions where solo miners were able to get a block reward and it was even more reoccurring back when the general difficulty was way lower and block reward was bigger compared to now.

What bigger hash rates do is give you a larger computational power to solve the block header and get the rewards faster than everyone else so technically speaking  bigger hashrates increase your chances but don't really guarantee you'll get it solved first since it's based on randomization. So those solo miners we basically lucky guys.

Re: Curiosity stating; could Bitcoin be the cheapest way to receive money?

My Naija people out of curiosity I saw make I ask? Is Bitcoin the cheapest and safest way to receive money from overseas?
It's one of the cheapest way to and also one of the most private and secure way too. A majority of the time crypto transactions in general are way more cheaper but I think bitcoin still stands out especially if you're using lightning network or even on chain in periods like this where fees are very ok.

Depending on the number of UTXOs the sender has to consolidate to make that particular transaction, he can spend less than 20 cents in fees for a transaction that is up to $10,000 or even more. Worse thing may be it would arrive within an hour depending on the congestion of the mempool at that time.

Re: Collusion in poker games

~snip
It's actually a real sick feeling when you get that gut feeling that a couple of players at the table are working together to cheat you whether it's in a live game or online. Fact is Collusion's been around forever and it's a constant threat to the integrity of the game. But I think the big poker sites aren't just sitting back and letting it happen . They should have some software and algorithms that are constantly scanning games for weird betting patterns that just don't add up.

I believe these systems also analyze things like IP addresses and device data to see if players who are acting suspiciously are also logging in from the same location. Still a poker site can only do so much  which is why we the players also have a responsibility to keep an eye out.

I was faced with a situation that I had never been in before with regards to a P2P trader and I didn't know how to react. You know how we talk about some of them not making complete payment and all, well this particular one decided to complete the payment but removed 1k from it. He still had the effrontery to ask me for a positive review. In that situation, I didn't know whether to ask him to send the balance 1k or not. I ended up ignoring it and letting it slide?
I've been there multiple times and I won't release those coins not because the funds is big to me but it's because they are trying to play smart of scam me. I've had some vendors remove up to 10k hoping I wouldn't notice. The next person he'll encounter he'll do same thing even with a bigger amount till . He will again and again until he meets someone that won't condone it.

So the reality is the more you allow them do those things the more they'll do it to people which is not right bast on a regular P2P contract.

Anyway as a low rank member I was so much happy that I couldn't think about any no to my response🥲. Do you guys faced any of this issue recently.
At first I thought you probably linked another member's UID to your telegram bot. However I think this your case is actually a bug. Some other member has had this issue in the past where tryninja presented him with the code Mahiyammahi has here as a fix. It's just a minor issue of the bot inconsistently scraping merit data.

This is what I perceived happened, if you logged in your telegram account or notification bot on a device that has been previously used to have same notifications but for another account or user, it will continue the counting from where it's stops, so I will advise you check well that you're not connected to another device by mistake or something related for your privacy.
Thought so at first but I looked up the merit history of vapourminer and he hasn't merited anyone with around 612 merits lately so I'm quite sure OP is just experiencing a bug. Op you should lock this topic now since you have a fix already.

Re: The development of original IP games for casinos.

Personally, I’ve got a lot of favorite games I used to play when I was younger, before I even learned to gamble online. If those kinds of games are being adapted into casino formats, that’s pretty interesting and definitely worth knowing about.
Yeah and that's what I was actually referring to. Some games are more peculiar to a particular location or region  based on the number of people that have a liking to it and that data can be figured out using the footprint your device leaves when you visit a casino.

Actually you could think about it this way..... basically a casino isn't just selling a chance to win rather they're selling an experience too. For example, you wouldn't go to vegas just to play a generic game you could find anywhere instead You're looking for that special table or a unique bonus round and these can be gathered as statistics based on location in some cases.

Re: Can a node drop a transaction.

What happens if he refuses to accept that block, and another miner creates a block without that transaction, and he accepts that. Won't this create a soft fork, and it will be up to other miners to decide which fork to run with. My guess would be that most nodes and miners won't want the overhead of checking transactions, so it would need to be an automatic check in the core software. Spammer support seems to exerting an influence here, and that is a bit concerning.
A miner's refusal to include a specific transaction and another miner's creation of a block without it does not actually create a soft fork because it's kinda like a normal part of how the bitcoin network operates. A soft fork is actually a network upgrade that introduces a new stricter rule which is backward compatible and requires a majority of miners to adopt.

Actually, in the scenario you are talking about no new rules are being introduced. Instead miners are simply exercising their right to choose which transactions from the mempool to include in their block to maximize how much they get from fees. The only thing is the excluded transaction remains in the mempool waiting for a different miner to include it in a future block which is the reason why if your transaction is blocked by many pools you'll need to rebroadcast so others can see it.

Hope you get it?

May be do it like cod prestige system: You reach leggy >> you can make yourself newbie again >> you get this badge that represents you have reached leggy once >> you reach leggy again >> you get this second badge to represent you have reached leggy twice — these badges must look prestigious and must show their significance.
Ever heard of the saying ; Human wants are insatiable? I guess it's exactly what's gonna happen. Eventually someone who is able to achieve legendary thrice will still get bored out. The forum works in an interesting way and ranks sometimes just say how much you've been around here.

Users here are not valued based on rank but more of reputation and contributions to the forum generally. As a result of this there are legendary members that based on quality may not warrant the rank and similarly there are member ranks with more organic contributions on the forum than some legendary.
Then again like I mentioned earlier, sometimes rank may just measure how long you've been around.

However, what happens if a miner builds a block containing this transaction? I don't see how he can avoid including this in his stored blockchain.
A Bitcoin node can actually refuse to relay a transaction with illegal content or even because of low fees ( miners do it all the time) by not adding it to its mempool which actually means he won't be broadcasting it to other nodes it's  kinda like a local choice that limits the propagation of that  transaction.

However it doesn't really prevent a miner from including that same transaction in a block. If a miner receives the transaction through another node and successfully mines a block with it they will broadcast this new block to the network as long as the transaction and the entire block adhere to Bitcoin's consensus rules such as valid signatures and proof of work a node has no choice but to accept and store the block in its copy of the blockchain regardless of the content of the transaction in order to stay in sync with the rest of the network.

Re: Avoid Ledger and their Complies Sanction Crap!

on 01/09/2025, 20:16:33 UTC
I have seen many stupid things coming from ledger in the past, but here is another big reason why everyone should avoid all hardware wallets coming from their factory.
Few days ago ledger publicly released a page claiming they are in full Complies with Sanctions!
Basically I'm not surprised about this actually because I know it's definitely something they will eventually pull off. Ledger became more of a disappointment when they out of the blue decided to add cloud storage for seed phrases and private keys (which makes no sense) . I wouldn't even be surprised to hear all of a sudden that the government controls that cloud.

Sadly people will still use it and some people just can't do without centralization worse, some even believe it's better and more beneficial.

Re: The other side of decentralization

I have also thought of it in the other way round, don't we think that politicians who loot government funds can use bitcoins to hide huge amount of money such that when the EFCC want to probe them for mismanagement of funds it will be difficult to recover looted funds since they might not be able to trace it due to the fact that they have converted the money to bitcoins.
It's not really something you have to think about because it's basically something that has been happening for a very long time and is not going to stop either anytime soon. Basically although bitcoin is based on decentralization , you can't really blame the negative uses on the network.

The whole thing is worse for privacy coins like zcash and especially Monero. The government has virtually succeeded in taking Monero off grid almost to totally and they mostly blame it on Monero being used for fraudulent practices.

Whenever possible, scan the QR code instead of pressing CTRL C + CTRL V.
Copying and pasting the receiving address then manually cross checking the first and last few characters yourself to confirm if it's the right address is actually better in my opinion than scanning the QR code. Cameras are easily hijacked just like keyboards and because of something this some devices have a feature where you can turn off or on your camera at will.

As for keyloggers they are way worse as the hacker can see everything you do with your keyboard with time stamps. So it's not just what you copy and paste that's affected in the case of a keylogger.

A brief of what you need to understand about fee rate and Depth
by
Mia Chloe
on 31/08/2025, 22:09:08 UTC
⭐ Merited by Ambatman (1) ,promise444c5 (1)
We all know when you make a bitcoin transaction, you're kind of competing for a limited amount of space in the next block and based on mining incentives we have to pay a fee to get it confirmed and the size of this fee isn't based on the amount of BTC you're sending but on the size and UTXO count of your transaction and how busy the network is. This is where the concepts of transaction weight and mempool depth come into play.


Transaction weight

A transaction's weight is basically just a measure of its size but it's not a simple byte count. The concept of weight was actually introduced with the SegWit upgrade which significantly changed to how transaction data is treated.

A Bitcoin transaction is made up of two main parts;

  • The core transaction data, which includes the list of inputs and outputs.
  • The witness data which contains digital signatures that prove you have the right to spend the bitcoins.

To get more transactions into a block SEGWIT was used to introduce a system that gives the witness data a discount. The total size of a block is limited to 4 million weight units (WU). Legacy transaction data is heavy counting for 4 WU per byte but the witness data is actually lighter counting for around 1 WU per byte. This system incentivizes wallets to use SegWit enabled transactions which actually allows more of them to fit into a block and helping to scale the network. Your final fee is calculated by multiplying your transaction's total weight by your chosen fee rate (sats/vB) and not actually (sat/bytes) most people make that mistake.


Mempool Depth

A transaction doesn't go directly into a block. First it gets broadcast to the network and sits in a waiting area which we know as the mempool. Every full node has its own mempool and they relay unconfirmed transactions to each other. So what miners do is that they  look at the transactions in their mempool to decide which ones to include in the next block and because they are motivated by profit they will prioritize the transactions with the highest fee rates not fee.

Now, the depth of the mempool is a measure of this waiting room's congestion. It's not actually a technical property of a single transaction but more like a dynamic state of the entire network. Imagine the mempool as a long queue with different lanes for different fee rates. The highest paying transactions are at the front and the lowest are at the back. Now when we  talk about mempool depth, we are referring to how many transactions are waiting in each of those lanes.

When the network is congested the depth of the mempool kinda increases which actually means you may have to pay a higher fee rate to get to the front of the line. However if the network is less congested and the mempool is shallow a small fee has a very  high chance of getting you a quick confirmation. This is why Bitcoin transaction fees are not fixed.

Congestion also explains why sometimes the depth you see at the time of broadcasting your transaction may not be the depth the transaction will be confirmed at.
