Quite misleading while it comes to rewards. There's hardly anything in signup bonus. I would recommended the most trusted ones out of the vast ocean of exchanges.

In the field of bitcoin

In our field if you can make long term predictions then you wouldn't call it volatile really, because you can predict what it is going to do exactly from a couple to a year up front sometimes even years up front. It only looks volatile to people who aren't sure what they are doing. (Yes technically by literal definition it is and has been but who cares about technicalities). You could entirely very safely predict that when regulations would go through BTC will go into chaos while ETH would draw power from it just because why they are both used. (BTC would only stand if they make it something more).

Read about '5' and then added more info and examples to support the fact that it is working with both 5 and x versions.

Electrum will NOT sweep uncompressed keys but will accept them in wallet creation.
Wrong again, it accepts uncompressed and compressed WIF in both Import (wallet creation) and Sweep.

write on the things that is known to You. If you don't know just avoid writing about it.

It seems you just vaguely wrote ' Sweep' when the entire terminology and its meaning is unknown to you.

Nothing wrong about anything, you were unable to solve his problems.

social contract framing
by
coaltin
on 28/07/2025, 09:35:20 UTC
"Goverment's powers originate from its people" - is a typical liberal social contract framing of what the government is, but I don't agree with such an understanding of the state. The particular problem is that it assumes the need to mediate conflicting interests a natural thing rather than something sociohistorically specific. Historically speaking the connection between states and class was less opaque, titles and such were bestowed upon people by the state and the state generally openly favoured upper classes. I would argue liberal states operate differently generally; they operate not by reproducing titles and a class directly, but instead by helping the production and circulation of capital. A state is fundamentally intertwined with class society even in its liberal mode. Communists oppose state building as sth counterproductive to abolishing capital; a DotP is meant to be a mere skeleton of a former state that is being dismantled. That being said, what happened in the soviet union was somewhat inevitable insofar as the Russian empire was undeveloped and isolated, which ultimately destroyed any momentum for any sort of *communist* social revolution and instead led to a kind of undeveloped capitalism which incorporated informal markets as a core part of its economic structure

Re: Help to restore my Priv Key

You're on the right track, and yes, I can definitely help. Let's solve this step-by-step so you can access those funds.

Step-by-Step:

1. Check the Private Key Format:

- Uncompressed WIF: 5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDu... (starts with 5)
- Compressed WIF: Kx... or Lx...
If it starts with 5, it's uncompressed.

2. Two Methods to Recover Funds
You have two main options:

Method 1: Importing to Electrum (Manual Way)
Instead of sweeping, you can import the private key by creating a "watch-only" wallet and then converting it to a full wallet.
Here’s how:
1. Open Electrum.
2. Click "File" > "New/Restore" to create a new wallet.
3. Name the wallet.
4. Choose "Use a master key".
5. Instead of a seed phrase, paste your WIF private key (starting with 5).


Electrum will NOT sweep uncompressed keys but will accept them in wallet creation.
If Electrum says it’s invalid, your key might be:
- Corrupted (typos or extra whitespace)
- Encrypted (check the file carefully)

Method 2: Use a Site or Tool That Accepts Uncompressed Keys
Some tools can import uncompressed private keys directly:

Option A: BitAddress.org (Offline Mode)
1. Download the HTML file from bitaddress.org (open-source, verify via GitHub if unsure).
2. Run it offline (for security).
3. Click Wallet Details tab.
4. Paste your WIF Private Key.
5. It shows:
    - The public address
    - The compressed/uncompressed public keys
    - And lets you verify if there are coins.

Check if coins are on the uncompressed address, as this is what matters.
If yes, you can get the private key in the right format or send them elsewhere.

Method 3: Bitcoin Core (Slow but Sure)
You can install Bitcoin Core, let it fully sync (can take days), then:
1. Run the console (under Tools).
2. Run:
importprivkey "YourWIFKey"
3.
Then it’ll scan and let you use/send the coins once synced.
This takes time, but works with all valid WIF keys, including uncompressed ones.

Recommendations

- Use Electrum + direct import if it lets you.
- If that fails, use bitaddress.org (offline) to confirm balance.
- As a last resort, use Bitcoin Core.
Let me know:
* Your WIF key format (does it start with 5?)
* If you can share the public address (not the private key!), I can help check balance/status

Security Reminder
Never paste your WIF key on any online tool unless it’s offline and verified (e.g., bitaddress.org run from a disconnected device). If you want help analyzing it safely, we can use offline tools.

If a governments powers originate from its people, then it is up to the citizens of said government to surrender or retain powers from their government. Are societies of men really capable of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for the political constitutions on accident and or, in some cases, force.

In my opinion, as a Liberal, I think that the vigour of government is essential to the security of liberty in Societes. Those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have started their careers as a obsequious member of the people, and commencing their careers as demogougs, ending tyrants.

In the span of history, citizens of all societies give up powers to their government. But you would be hard pressed to find instances of the government relinquishing powers attained or retained back to the people after they have been given up.

Yeah the normans invaded from the south which is probably what you're thinking of, but that doesn't mean that the southern english are similar to the french any more than the average english person. Textbooks on human geography, southern england (not a whole, parts of it) had a uniquely French Atmosphere retained from the days of the norman nobility, opposed to the more Saxon background of Northumbria. From New England, some of the most educated people on earth, are afflicted with map blindness.

AI is purely being used to influence people at mass which were already being influenced with other media tools. There is nothing meaningful coming out so AI is pretty much garbage as of now. If you are following AI development you would know that it can turn coins into money but nothing more than that, purely a tech gig.

The Rhaetians were possibly Etruscan-related

Thalnazpic christendom (Universal in Etruscan) is this thalnazpic's catholic faith. It is a remnant of the Etruscan Empire of the classical age. The Aranthurian faith is somewhat politically similar to the protestant faith, although differ wildly in theology - and has existed far longer. Etruscan religion is obviously not super well known but given the potential time frames your thinking it could work and it can just creative licensing on that. Etruscans which for whatever reason have been placed on the most Earth-like planet in the system along with fauna and flora around 2000 years ago.

Both the mentioned wallets are good for conversion of one form of the currency to the other form. One is old and doesn't get regular updates and the other is an exchange which is mainly for US mainland. I advice you to the website in my signature.

Finding lost BTC on Hard Drives Originally:What is a fair price for a toolset?
by
coaltin
on 13/07/2025, 02:52:53 UTC
Building a tool that will allow even the most non-savvy user to extract wallets from drives, hard drives, flash drives, cd's etc.  It is read-only, air-gapped and bootable.  Basically, it is an SSD that automatically scans storage media regardless of it has been reformatted or wiped (but not zero'd).  It boots, and once executed scans drives that are plugged into it and extracts what have been identified as wallet.dat files or homologates thereof.

The app will test against various versions of Bitcoin core to cover all possible iterations of the original Bitcoin Wallet.  The tools to brute force a password will also be loadable in the application.  You pay no one for a service, or pay a commission percentage of your wallet balance, you own it, it is  your tool.

What's fair $100?

*Bear in mind that there will need to be some money allocated per sale as license fees to many developers.
