Re: Was a friend of mine scammed or hacked somehow?
by
notocactus
on 01/09/2025, 02:37:12 UTC
When I took a close look at this transaction, I realized that the funds he sent did not go to my wallet, instead they arrived at this other wallet

I sent my wallet address to my friend using a messaging app which he says he copied and pasted  on to his wallet. The wallet he uses is blockchain wallet
You are the receiver, your friend is the sender.

If the receiver (you) did not receive bitcoin to a given address, the sender did not fullfil his responsibility in the trade. Whatever reason your friend used is non sense and even if his device was hacked, compromised, he still has responsibility to fullfil that trade and send another bitcoins to your wallet. That's it.

You don't have to care which wallet your friend used, just need to request him to send you bitcoin to your address.

What if we could see the word count, character count and how long it would take to read what we are posting? Isn't that very interesting?
I appreciate your time spent for this userscript but about its use case, I don't find it interesting as I don't have need of knowing how many characters of my post, how many words a post has, and how long does it take me to read my post. It's all unnecessary need, at least with me.

Posts can be helpful and quality even they have only some words. Lengthy posts can be useless and they are spam as what they are.

A professional spammer can write a very long post - much longer than one or two lines - but it is still a spam post. An experiment.

Re: Best trading platform

Considering the fact that scammers are everywhere, which app (exchange or trading platform) is the most secure to use for trading? Also, which security measure would you recommend to protect my coin once I start trading?
I have some advices for you but the first and most important adivce for you is
  • Don't trade. Focus on investment in long term instead.
  • Don't engage with altcoins, only focus on Bitcoin for investment. Let's say it clearly that if you decide to invest, not trade, it's good but not enough. Make sure you invest your capital in only Bitcoin, and don't invest your money in altcoins.

Altcoins are very scam and altcoin projects can die anytime especially during long lasting and boring bear market which usually lasts for two or three years in each market cycle.
How many cryptocurrencies failed.

If you still ignore investment, and decide to trade, make sure you always use one of best weapons in trading.

Re: Appeal Regarding Account Ban: Steve5946

on 28/08/2025, 04:39:10 UTC
Dear Moderators,

I am writing to appeal the recent ban of my account, Steve5946.

This account has been active since 2017, and throughout that time, I have enjoyed positively contributing to the community and collaborating with countless other users without any previous issues.

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered my account had been locked. I followed the instructions provided to contact the specified email address but have not yet received a response.

I would be very grateful if you could review my account status and provide any insight into the reason for this action. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Steve5946
Your account was not accused with plagiarism, AI, or ban evasion with my search via ninjastic.space.

With BPIP.org, your account was not shown as banned.
https://bpip.org/Profile?id=1073153

There is no information on both forum's seclog and modlog pages.
https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php
https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php

With BPIP, I only see account recovery with password reset via email in 2021, you can see in the link. It would not be likely reason of your account ban.

I think about another possible reason, you used the secret question that triggers account lock.
PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT.

About programming style of Satoshi Nakamoto, Jameson Lopp wrote about it in his article Why Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto?

You can explore more about it here but this article only gives you some supplementary information while I understand that your topic is about another objective even it is about coding.

Quote
Inconsistencies in Coding Styles

Some have claimed stylistic similarities between Hal’s and Satoshi’s public writing, but I know nothing of stylometric analysis thus I can't comment on the veracity of that claim. What I can confidently state is that their code is quite different.

We can compare Hal’s Reusable Proofs of Work code against the original Bitcoin client and several differences are immediately apparent.

Re: Avoid buying Bitcoin from someone all because you know them.

on 25/08/2025, 04:54:38 UTC
Yeah, that kind of situation could happen to anyone, especially in highly regulated countries. In this case, it was a major mistake for the seller to sell those coins without first passing them through a mixer first. By doing so, he not only exposed the buyer to risk but also put himself in danger, since authorities could still trace the coins back to him using the information tied to the buyer and cctvs around the area where the transaction happens (if done physically/meeting).
Preparing your Bitcoin wallets, UTXOs for trade are important steps to insure your privacy as if you can not handle those preparational steps properly, whatever trading method you choose to use later, on a centralized exchange or a decentralized exchange or P2P trade, your traces on chain are very clearn and it can be seen by everyone including governments.

You can not erase any trace you left on chain so if you were careless with your wallets, UTXOs and transactions, your privacy can be detected by government or someone in the future including your trade partner too.

Using change addresses is part of enhancement on privacy while using Bitcoin.

Re: What if Bitcoin block rewards suddenly stopped tomorrow?
by
notocactus
on 25/08/2025, 04:46:02 UTC
Without mining rewards, would miners keep the network alive with just transaction fees, or would Bitcoin collapse?
Tomorrow in this context is very near, and it is not any day in 2140 and after that, so Bitcoin miners will get both Bitcoin block subsidy (reward) and Bitcoin transaction fee that are all good for their mining business and its positive revenue.

In the future, naturally Bitcoin value and price will increase if its history repeats and this mean Bitcoin miners will get less bitcoins from their mining but get more $ in equivalent value. This will be a long future in 2140 and after that if Bitcoin continue its existence about more than one century in the future.

Bitcoin block subsidy from 50 bitcoins to 25 bitcoins then halved more every 210,000 blocks but its equivalent income for Bitcoin miners increases over time. Let's check back that 50 bitcoin in 2009 had less $ in value than 3.125 bitcoins in 2025 and it's the same change trend with Bitcoin transaction fees over years.

Just to clarify also what he mentioned, OP this is a free forum where ideas and information are being shared with one another. Even if our participation here is free, there are still certain rules and regulations that need to be followed in order to maintain the peace and order of the system.
Hopefully the welcome message will be enforced after many years in its draft version and its existence is like a hidden page to newbies.

Quote
Make sure that before you create posts in different boards, utilize first the search bar and input your question there because it may have been answered already. Lastly, read the rules and avoid the newbie mistake of falling into scams!
Basically, posting is a very last step to do and before that, let's read, search and read to learn well before posting. Read more, learn more, and post less will reduce spam in the forum as well as build up an account unlike a spam account which is a good account development in long term.

Re: “The Real Story of Bitcoin’s Growth Over the Last 13 Years

1. Adoption & Users

2012: The use of Bitcoin was controlled by early adopters, developers and small-scale online retailers. Worldwide reception was very poor. There was no exchange and wallets were primarily desktop.
Adoption is adoption which is different than control. Bitcoin blockchain is decentralized and it has never been controlled by anyone especially if you use the year 2012, it is already 3 years after the launch of Bitcoin Genesis block hence Bitcoin network had good hashrate and stronger as well as more decentralized than in January 2009.

Using control here is very inaccurate.

Quote
Did you know: there were less than 1 million of wallet users at the beginning of 2012, today, the guesses are more than 100 million in the entire planet.
I have never minded about it but because you mentioned it here, I must do my search and check this information. It's not about Bitcoin addresses used and had balances but it's about HODL waves chart that shows you age distribution of Bitcoin's UTXO.

That is because the government wants to know their people who playing gambling at online casinos. They want to impose tax on them so they ask the casino to apply KYC to their members and tell the government.

Doing KYC has its risks so we must be really careful selecting the platform. We need to clarify that the site is safe and can take responsibility for its members if something bad happens. They can give protection to their members identity so there is nothing to worry about.

We should be responsible for this because that is our identity. We need to know the site reputation and how good its protection is for members.
With KYC and digital data, governments want to know as most as possible about their citizens, online activities and money flows. Gambling is just like other activities if it is legla in a nation and the general interest of government is tracking their citizen activities, money flow in order to force citizens to pay as most tax as possible.

Tax is like main budget for government to operate their cumbersome system so they would like to maximize tax they can get from citizens. KYC is one of powerful tools for governments to achieve this.

Half time is gone, and with what I can see now - I think Man United still have a chance for a come back although they are currently losing. If I’m to award the better players on the pitch today, the award would definitely go to Man United players because since I tuned in to watch the match, Arsenal players have been playing very roughly, to the point that Calafiori has gotten a yellow card.

I’m just hoping the second half goes well for Man United. I’ll come back and update you guys when man United scores or when the game finishes.
The match is exciting and Manchester United created enough opportunities in a first half but they did not score any goal. They need to maintain this performance in the second half and do better in their shots, if they can do this, an equalizer can come with them. It's only assumption as Arsenal with Arteta management is a tough opponent and they will give Manchester United less space to organize their attacking situations in the second half.

If Manchester United are not careful and focus too much on attacks as well as lift their whole squad to too high area, perhaps Arsenal will know how to find a winning goal to finalize this match via counter attacks.

Yeah, don't know why they not stick with live support chats.

IMO, don't have enough time or space to download and go there. IMO, they want people to join the community too for their casino but don't realized people are just want to visiting the casino and not want to hang out.

I think would be nice, everything are on the site no need to go into discord for any case or problem.
It does not like an initiative to cut their business operational cost but I guess the team saw Discord has more features and better organized so that they see Discord is more helpful for support and also beyond that like announcements and discussions, interactions with community. There are barriers like not all people use Discord and any change in Customer Support line from on-site to third party platforms like Discord can make inconvenience with some users.

They maybe decided to do this migration to Discord in a severe way in order to force their users moving to Discord. If they maintain on-site support, it's likely that many users will continue with this support line and don't use Discord that can affect the company's strategic change in communication with community through Discord.

Its risky and dangerous to submit your personal information, such as your ID, to suspicious, unlicensed, or unregulated platforms. Without proper due diligence, handing over sensitive data to just any platform that asks for it is not only unsafe but also pointless, as it exposes you to potential misuse without offering real security or value in return.
It is only more dangerous if you KYC on suspicious, unlicensed, unregulated platforms whilst it does not mean that if you do KYC on legit, licensed and regulated platforms, you are safe and your identity documents will not be leaked.

Data can be leaked by many ways, internal sales or hacks from external people and you as a user can not control anything after KYC with your indentity documents. What you can control is before KYC on any platform, consider whether you should KYC or not, and eventually don't do KYC. It's the only way to make sure that your identity documents won't be stored on that platform's database and there is no risk of data leak by that company.

As a new member what are some lesser known tips or etiquette rules that you wished you knew when you were a Newbie.
From pinned threads, you can learn almost most basic and also important rules, guides about the forum and other things.

You asked about etiquettes so here you go with my thread.

You don't need to spend time to read all etiquettes and master them before posting but make sure you spend decent time and efforts for learning about them gradually over time as it is very helpful for your posting skills here.

Its not been rolled out yet so I don't get surprised on why they are not listed yet on those platforms.

They just newly rebranded their tokens so maybe it will take some time before this listing would gonna happen. But hopefully no people will get confused about it and think about $CASINO has been listed else where.

For sure there are lots of scam would came out and try to replicate $CASINO and this is what people need to prepare so that they can avoid those potential scam and choose the right one, So they better wait for the updates posted by Metawin so that they can stay away from anything that can confuse them.
For rebranded tokens, the team already have an account on Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, then they can proactively submit information changes and wait for verifications from Coinmarketcap and Coingecko before those sites will make updates for the team.

Update existing coin/ token listing on Coinmarketcap by submit a request.
How do I update token information on Coingecko token page?

Cryptocurrency is not yet fully adopted in our country, but it’s legal. These gamblers are typically new to gambling, introduced by influencers and e-wallets through embedded links. I think that they only have until today to unlink based on the notification on my e-wallets. I’ll check 1WIN account if it’s still possible to deposit using our local e-wallets.
If cryptocurrency usage is considered as legal action in your nation, it's more convenient to make your deposits in blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Of course, let's avoid privacy coin like Monero as it is favorite to take down of governments and you might have big troubles with your account and fund later. As a prevention, let's avoid Monero as there are many altcoins for you to choose and use if you want alternatives than Bitcoin.

Local e-wallets should be something at very bottom of my favorite list as e-wallets can require KYC. I am not sure about KYC policies of e-wallet providers in your nation but perhaps it's mandatory.

Is $CASINO not yet listed on coinmarketcap? I'm not sure, but I think it's no longer hard to get listed on CMC because there are so many coins listed and the price not even tracked.
It is not hard but it takes time to be listed on Coinmarketcap and has all necessary information updated there including price track.

In addition, I see that on Metawin website, there is no icon for Coinmarketcap or Coingecko, and there are icons for X, Telegram for example. To make it more easy for guests and users, I think the Metawin team can consider to do a simple task, adding icons of Coinmarketcap and Coingecko on their website (the landing page's bottom area) or one of them with links to $CASINO on those websites.

It saves user's time as there is no need to do searching, and it can avoid confuse as well if user searched and found some tokens with a same ticker $CASINO.
