Hello everyone,

I hope I’m not writing in the wrong thread; if so, please excuse me.

I recently read about the new integration of USDT on the Bitcoin blockchain, made possible by Taproot addresses and the Lightning Network.
However, I couldn’t figure out how to actually move and use my USDT within the Bitcoin network, and I haven’t seen any services or exchanges that support this integration yet.

Did I miss something, or am I just looking in the wrong direction? Could you guys kindly point me to the right resources to explore this integration practically?

Thanks!

The recent halving took place and shortly after, we are witnessing a 10% drop in the price of Bitcoin.

So, is there any truth to the comment about the "predictable post-halving dip"? Let's take a look at the historical price action of Bitcoin following previous halving events:

First halving: November 28, 2012 - The mining reward decreased from 50 BTC to 25 BTC per block. Bitcoin's price at the time was around $12.20. Indeed, in the months following the halving, the price of Bitcoin dipped, falling to around $6-7 by the end of November 2012. However, by the end of 2013, the price had skyrocketed to almost $1,000.

Second halving: July 9, 2016 - The mining reward was reduced from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC per block. Bitcoin's price stood at approximately $640 at the time of the halving. Once again, a temporary decline occurred, with the price dropping to around $550 by the end of July. But by July 2017, Bitcoin's price had soared to $2,550.

Third halving: May 11, 2020 - The mining reward was halved from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC per block. Bitcoin's price was around $8,750 at the time of the halving. A similar pattern emerged, with the price dipping to about $8,600 by the end of May. However, by April 2021, Bitcoin had reached a new all-time high of over $64,000.

Now, following the fourth halving in March 2024, we have witnessed another price drop of 10%, as mentioned earlier.

Based on this historical context, it seems that the comment about the "predictable post-halving dip" holds some weight!!

Anyone know why this price pump siince yesterday?

It is not crypto related, and I'm noticing that all the alternatives are just for crypto related contents blogs. I'm afraid I have no choice to stay with adsense

Thanks a lot I'll check them out!

Hello Everyone,

I'm quite bored with the advertising service that Google offers, and for this reason I wanted to try something alternative that pays directly in Bitcoin or altcoins.

Can you guys suggest me the legit ones and the ones that pays the most.

I remember back in the days there was mellow ads or something like that but now it seems offline.

Thanks, I think I need to rescan because it said:


The question is why it showed positive balance on my wallet after full sync and scan?

I re-started using the Bitcoin core wallet after few years.

While I'm learning the new descriptors, and try to figure them out against the old school private keys, sent few coins from one old imported address to a new Bech32m taproot address.

The transaction is not even in the mempool, if I try to search it in a block explorer it looks like it doesn't even exist.

The address was fully rescan and the wallet is synced to the blockchain, so what is going on?

Here the transaction ID: b7007ef7cf8f9cb180231755a5bb7f2fbab122c7abe7d20cd345641718c730c0


Thanks

Thanks a lot, I need to study a bit this new fuctionality

This actually helps a lot thanks!!

Thanks, it looks like it works.

Thanks Dave,

If I can't get my keys, the point is the same: NOT MY KEYS NOT MY COINS.

So at this point what, if you know, is the last bitcoin core version that allow to EASILY, get your keys like back in the days.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I finally decided to use again the beloved bitcoin core wallet after several years.

These last events regarding CEX, regulations and ETF approvals, let me think that is not safe anymore, if ever, to keep my bitcoin on Binance.

I downloaded the last bitcoin core version, synced with the blockchain, and I wanted to import some wallet addresses I used back in the day and, I wanted to get the private keys of some new addresses just created, but in both cases I got this error: "Only legacy wallets are supported by this command (code -4)".

I don't get how to use private keys with this bitcoin core version, in my opinion being able to fully control private keys is the most important part of safety using bitcoin, so I'm uncomfortable to withdraw my funds without being sure of being in total control of my private keys.

These are the command I'm using on the wallet console:

This is the error:

Thanks in advance!

I would like to introduce you our monetization, and promotion service on the steem and hive blockchains.

for who that may don't know about those blockchains here a quick presentation:

We offer a possibility to increase your cryptocurrency earnings with our curation pool that works on both chains, and we are able to do so with mainly to services:

• CONTENT MONETIZATION AND PROMOTION
• JOIN THE CURATION POOL

About the CONTENT MONETIZATION AND PROMOTION:

• Our monetization service is designed for the content creators to earn some money from their creativity, and to get helped to promote their contents on hive, steem, and on twitter where we have a good followers base.
  The STEEM, and HIVE blockchains allow the content creators to get paid by curators like us by express our appreciation via an UPVOTE, that is the action that actually produce the coins on these blockchains.
  By joining this service you will join our curation pool, it means that more people will join more everyone will earn!

About JOIN THE CURATION POOL:

• With this service you can participate to our curation pool by delegating minimum 2000 STEEM or 2000 HIVE or both to us. In this case you don't need to create contentents in order to participate, but simply leave the delegation active.
  While your delegations will be active you will receive a weekly payout, normally processed on monday, based on the value of your delegations, and how much our pool produced during the previous week.
  If the delegation will be both on STEEM and HIVE the payout will be on both coins, else just on the coin delegated.

As mentioned above our services are available against a DELEGATION and not by direct transfer the coins to us, and the difference is simple but very important we think.

The delegation is a function build in the STEEM and HIVE blockchains. It allows you to transfer your coins to another user, but without losing the ownership over them.
With the STEEM/HIVE power delegation all of the problems linked with trust are solved. You can delegate you STEEM OR HIVE, so your MONEY, get a profit, and if the project doesn't fulfill your expectations, you can get back your funds with no issue at all with simply a click.
Who run the project can not stop you from getting your money back, or move them elsewhere, he or she can just operate the project as promised, and use your delegated STEEM or HIVE to power it, as long as I keep the delegation on!

We rised around 115 000 STEEM and HIVE with our project, for a total value as today exchange rate of both coins of 56625 EURO / 61900 USD
