It’s true


Retail FOMO hasn’t really kicked in yet, and you can feel the impatience from long-time holders. The resistance around $109,000 is proving stubborn, but once it breaks, things could move very quickly.

Re: I’m proposing a Bitcoin Address Verifier tool built specifically for BitcoinTalk
by
dongiovanni
on 09/07/2025, 18:25:11 UTC
In the spirit of transparency and community safety, I am proposing a Bitcoin Address Verifier tool built specifically for BitcoinTalk Forum users.
Let me explain in detail the workings and how the functionality is to be.


What It will do:::

1.   Paste any BTCBTC address into the tool.
2.   It tells you:

  • If it was posted on the forum, especially Scam Accusations
  • Who posted it and in which thread
  • Whether it’s linked to DT/trust members
  • Real-time blockchain info: balance, activity, transaction count




Why It Matters

  • Trust is everything in trades
  • This tool helps users quickly check the risk before sending coins
  • Avoid known scam wallets or suspicious posts.

It will be Powered By::

  • Public blockchain APIs Blockstream, Mempool.space, or Blockchair, another thing that might be of tricky part is that,
     BitcoinTalk doesn’t have an official API of it’s own, so it will be best to use Google Search scraping via requests and BeautifulSoup,
    or optionally a headless browser like Playwright or Puppeteer if needed later.
  • Forum search crawler
  • Optional red-flag detection for banned or newbie accounts

The main Goal is as follows:::

  Allow users to verify Bitcoin addresses by checking:

  • If it has ever been posted or flagged on the forum, especially in the Scam Accusations board
  • Basic transaction and balance info via a public explorer
  • Whether it's tied to known scams or flagged users

This is the Core Features

1. Forum Scanner

  • Checks if the BTC address has been posted in any BitcoinTalk thread
  • Specifically flags mentions inside the Scam Accusations and Reputation boards
  • Shows links to posts where the address was mentioned

2. Blockchain Lookup

 Uses a blockchain explorer API  Blockstream, Mempool.space, or Blockchair as mentioned earlier to:
  • Get balance in BTC and fiat
  • Count of transactions in/out
  • Recent transaction activity with timestamps


3. The golden part about the functionality is the Trust Context


  It will Show:::

  • If it was linked to a DT member post
  • If it appears in any tagged red trust post
  • Optional:::: Flag if posted by newbie or banned accounts

Now this is the phase 1 and i will love to hear more input on it, in the phase 2 will come up with tools to use such as

  • HTML + Tailwind CSS for a lightweight, responsive layout.
  • Forum Crawler Logic, where I will utilize the Python Crawler Module with Google Dork Search
  •   Blockchain Data Fetch via Public API
  •   I will make use of the Blockstream.info API because it’s free, requires no API key, it supports JSON and has excellent uptime

The key question at the end of it will be the hosting aspect, but i will cross that bridge when i get there. Expect more updates soon.



Your proposal for a Bitcoin Address Verifier tool tailored for BitcoinTalk is genuinely impressive and fills a real gap in the forum’s safety features.

Re: Warning to all lovers of CEXs.

Another one bites the dust. This time GMX which was failed to withstand hackers. On 9th of July they managed to breach exchange security system and steal $42M.

GMX recommendations for users:

1) "Disable leverage: this can be done by setting Vault.setIsLeverageEnabled(false) or, if Vault Timelock is used, by setting Timelock.setShouldToggleIsLeverageEnabled(false)"
2) "Set all maxUsdgAmounts to "1" by using Vault.setTokenConfig or Timelock.setTokenConfig, to prevent GLP minting"


Isn't the better to use DEXs instead of CEXs? The answer seems to be obvious.

It’s honestly getting hard to ignore the pattern: another centralized exchange (CEX) falls victim to a major hack, this time GMX losing $42 million. No matter how many security measures are promised, the risks keep surfacing.

Re: [Anonymity] Can I get rid of KYC trace through Lightning?
by
dongiovanni
on 09/07/2025, 18:20:26 UTC
Good day, everyone!

Firstly, I hope this is the correct sub-forum to post this question.

I'm not new to Bitcoin, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to Lightning network. I was playing around with various BTC/Lightning wallets on my phone and pondering a question. Say I have this scenario:

I buy BTC on a KYC exchange and transfer it (on-chain) to a hot wallet on my desktop. From there I transfer it (again on-chain) to Muun wallet on my phone. From Muun I pass it through Lightning network to Speed wallet, also on my phone and finally I send it (on-chain) to my final cold storage address. Neither Muun or Speed wallet have any KYC data (except knowing my phone number, I guess?). Is that one Lightning transfer enough to cut the trace or it is still somehow possible to associate the final address back to the original exchange?

Thanks  Grin

Moving BTC from a KYC exchange through the Lightning Network does not fully remove the KYC trace.

Re: How do people when crypto is dropping?

Please is long I'm trying to learn about crypto generally but I don't seem to understand most things as if am left out. I leant that even the crypto market is going against you can still make gain out of the situation because to me am only experiencing lost and depression. Please what do I do whenever the market is experiencing deepening? Is there a to reverse your trade or investment at that point that will make you gain instead of lost?

It’s normal to feel stressed or left out when prices fall, but remember: market downturns are common and can be opportunities for disciplined investors. If you’re new, focus on learning, start small, and don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose.

Love it. Decentralized is the way.
Bitshares is the way until something better comes along.

Same username and password works for Bitshares, OpenLedger and Cryptobridge. I think Peerplays too..
If it runs on top of the bitshares blockchain you can "move/ have access to your" funds between exchanges. Instead of BTC you trade for bitshares (BTS) and that allows you to buy crypto on OpenLedger, that might not be available on Cryptobridge, same goes for Bitshares exchange.

So no need to withdraw and deposit doge, btc between different exchanges. Just buy bitshares (BTS) and you use your same login and you have access anywhere

If anyone want to sync their wallet faster on first time, can download this snapshot made just now https://mega.nz/#!OBZDXYBS!j0P9eM8Tl1XmyvprbfkRWgKfA6_DXBdENNT0sd3RIMI

You need to put this information on the first post. Cause the nodes arent working properly.
The .conf file has over 100 nodes and im only getting 3 active... sometimes 0 nodes.

Any plans for listing on Cryptobridge?

Re: Are Dogecoin worth holding onto???

Dogecoin is one of the better investments you could make.
If you look past the FUD, youll realize its here to stay.

BTC; fee issues
BCH; centralization issues
ETH; death by cryptokitties
XRB & IOTA; remains to be seen

Doge = widely accepted even on the crappiest exchanges. As much as everyone claims to have low  fees and fast conf times.. doge is the boss for them at this point
